" My state of mind ......is quite fine ". My mouth twitched slightly as my chest heaved up and down , signaling deep mental exhaustion . 
  The girl looked at me in the eyes and then shook her head . The look in her eyes showed that she thought that I was trying to regain the last shred of my dignity by being stubborn and trying to prove that my state of mind was not weak . 
 She did not continue to ask me questions but sank into deep thoughts . She was no fool and the series of strange occurances that lead to the rapid defeat of those men made her to be suspicious . 
 "What could be the reason ?". She muttered slightly with confusion . She ruled out the young man in front of her because there was no was he could have affected the general situation with his weak cultivation . 
 In the end , without coming to a definite answer , she shook her head and decided not to think deeper into the situation provided that it was not dangerous to her for now . 
 "What are you doing here ?" . She asked with a sharp light flashing in her eyes . 
 Here it comes ! 
 I was expecting the question because I knew that my appearance in the forest was quite odd and considering the weak cultivation I was showing , it was either I deliberately suppressed my real strength and was pretending to be weak or I just wanted to court death by going into the terrifying forest with my weak cultivation . 
 " I lost my way in the forest and I need directions on how to leave ". I answered calmly .  
 She drew closer to me and looked at me with threatening gaze . Her fierce aura showed that she was not a gentle figure despite her amicable appearance . To be able to survive In this forest showed how ruthless and desicive she was.  
 "You have not really answered my question ". Her aura surged intensely as she was ready to attack if I reveal any slightest flaw . 
 "What are you doing in the middle of Triad forest with your pitiful cultivation and which force do you belong to ?". Her suspicion kept raising as she looked at me with a questioning gaze . 
 A sad expression immediately appeared on my face as I sighed like I remembered painful memories . 
 "I can not remember anything about my past , blurred scenes appear in my brain since I woke up in the middle of the forest . I was severely injured by something and some of my memories seemed to be missing ". I clenched my fists as I showed a troubled look on my face . 
 "I can understand if you don't want to help me but I just need the directions on how to leave this forest ". A sincere expression appeared on my face as I looked at her with a pleading gaze . 
 The young girl did not outrightly believe my story as she said " So you are saying that you lost your memories ?". She raised her brows and asked . 
 "Yes , I can't remember anything ". I shook my head and said . "Maybe I will eventually recover my memories but now I can't seem to recall anything ". 
 The young girl stared at me for sometime and then withdrew her gaze. Even if I had ulterior motives , my cultivation was not strong enough to make any waves . 
 She put her weapon away and regulated her breathing . It was quite taxing for her to activate a half divine weapon with her cultivation so she tried to regain her strength . 
 Any slightest weakness can lead to instant death in the forest because countless dangers lurked in it . 
  I heaved a sigh of relief having bluffed my way through . I did not want to reveal my identity outrightly because I still had misgivings about this world. 
 My cultivation circulated as I tried to replenish the mental strength that I lost . I was feeling quite anxious because I had to completely analyze the laws of this world before I completely regain my full strength . 
 The feeling of being vulnerable and weak made me quite uncomfortable . I sighed gently and decided to take this adventure as a way to train my state of mind . 
 Suddenly , the void was torn open as a young man with handsome features and golden hair emerged from it . 
 He immediately heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the young girl and then scrutinized me with a narrow gaze . 
 "Uncle Horace , you took time to get here ". The voice of the girl was tinged with dissatisfaction as she hopped over and huged the young man .
 The young man smiled with apology and said "I was held up by those bastards from the mystic fire cult ". A doting look appeared on his eyes as he patted the hair of the young girl . 
 "Who is he ?". Horace sent a voice transmission to the girl . 
 The girl explained the whole situation to him , how she got the purple crystal and everything that occurred . 
 The expression of the uncle turned grave as he said "You should not help any random stranger . The situation of the clan is quite complex and he could be a spy sent by the enemy forces ". He admonished her . 
 The young girl smiled and said playfully "Uncle , you don't have to worry about him , his cultivation is quite weak so he is not a threat at all ". 
.The young man furrowed his brows and looked in my direction . Boooom!!! the aura of a peak void realm being pressed on my body . 
 I was aware that he was trying to test me and I decided to play along with him . My body shivered as I took five steps back with a pale expression on my face . 
 My story was indeed suspicious and it will be hard for anyone to outrightly believe it without being suspicious . 
 The young man shook his head and withdrew his aura . "I guess that he is really at the supreme realm ". He muttered slowly because he could not find any abnormalities . 
 "So what do you want to do with him now ?". He asked solemnly . 
 "Let's just shelter him for now ". The girl suggested . 
 "But ..... ". The young man shook his head on seeing the girl's stubborn expression. "Okay no problem but he will have to leave after sometime ". 
 "Thank you , uncle ". The girl smiled and said .
 A worried expression appeared on his face as he said " We have to rush home now ". 
 "What happened ?".The girl asked with worry . 
 "I am afraid that the clan will be facing it's most difficult moment since it's establishment . He said , not willing to explain further to the girl , he swept his sleeves and vanished with us quickly transversing through the void with haste . 
 I heaved a sigh of relief because I was finally leaving frustrating forest . 
.********************************
 Glen stablized his shaking body at the edge of the arena . He discovered that the disparity between him and Sean was quite large and it will be hard for him to emerge victorious in this fight . His battle intent surged as he did not intend to give up at all . 
 "You seem to be quite weak ". Sean said with disdain as he calmly walked towards Glen . 
 "Humph!! , we will see about that ". Boooom!!! his aura exploded as he shouted "Thunder domain !!". 
 A huge domain that was filled with thunder and lightning quickly submerged the entire arena . 
 Boooom!!! lightening bolts struck into the ground with terrifying might as Glen stood in the air like a god of thunder . 
 "Are you not going to use your domain ?". Glen said as thick lightening bolts gathered in his hands . 
 "You are not worthy yet ". Sean shook his head and said . 
 "Arrogant!!". Glen sneered as thunder gaints formed in his domain , attacking the figure of Sean with terrifying might . 
 "Your domain is still imperfect and not strong enough to pressure me , watch how I will break your domain ". Sean said calmly 
 Boooom!!! his aura exploded as a flaming saber formed in his hand . His golden flame intent greatly increased in might as it seemed to cross the threshold of perfection and came in contact with laws . 
 Boooom!!! a golden beam flashed with immense speed and slashed the thunder gaints apart . Bang !!! the domain exploded as the figure of Glen was flung into the air . 
 Splurt !!! Glen vommitted blood as his aura weakened drastically . "Half law ". He smiled warily when he saw the reason that made him lose so terribly .
 Although he comprehended the thunder intent but his intent was only at the major accomplishment whole the other had half law intent . 
 Truly worthy of being the first in the domain ranking . 
 "Shit!! , Sean must have purposely defeated him with his second move ". Lewis slapped the arm of his chair and glared at the figure of Sean In the arena . 
 "You lost the bet ". Sky mystic shrugged his shoulders and smiled . "Maybe he deliberately defeated him immediately in order for you to lose the bet ". 
 "Sky , are you trying to instigate me into fighting him ". Lewis looked at him with a mysterious smile . 
 Sky , who had his intentions discovered chuckled and looked away without saying anything . 
 "Remember the bet ". Sean said calmly and turned to leave the arena . 
 "I have not lost yet ". Glen stood up and glared at Sean . 
 Sean frowned slightly and said "It seems like I have been going easy on you ". 
 Boooom!!! his figure vanished from his position as his saber appeared in his hand . 
 Boooom!! two intents surged in the air with terrifying might . 
 Saber and flame intent , both of them at the half law realm . The saber shone brightly like a golden sun as a saber qi that spanned hundreds of meters slashed out with extreme speed . 
 The hair of Glen stood up as he was assulted with the feeling of intense danger . Boooom!!! a figure flashed and punched his fist out with Indomitable might . 
 Boooom!!! a golden fist projection smashed out and clashed with the saber attack . 
 Boooom!!! the shockwaves spread across the arens , stirring up fierce waves . 
 "Sean ! , are you trying to cripple Glen ". Lewis shouted with anger . 
 "Next time , I won't pull punches ". Sean said calmly and left without sparring Lewis a glance . 
 Whoosh!!! the figure of Sky mystic appeared in the arena . "He is too arrogant ". He said with a anger . 
 Lewis shook his head and said "He has the strength to be arrogant ".
