Shen Luo says, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will take good care of Little Bai."
Hearing this, Grandma becomes very happy. Before she dies, she says to Shen Luo, "If I get another life, I will repay you for this kindness."
After some time, Grandma passes away. Little Bai and Shen Luo are standing over her grave. With tears in her eyes, Little Bai says, "Grandma, you were the only one I had in my life. Now, who will I live with? Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and now you have also left me. In this world, I am all alone."
Shen Luo puts his hand on Little Bai's shoulder from behind and says, "Don't worry. I am your big brother, aren't I? From today onward, I will take all the responsibility."
After that, he takes Little Bai to his house.
It is then revealed that Shen Luo's stepmother and father had found him on the road inside a basket. Since then, they had kept him with them and raised him like their own child.
Shen Luo introduces Little Bai to his mother. His mother becomes fascinated by her cute face, and his father does too.
Then Shen Luo tells them the whole story. Hearing this, both his mother and father walk up to Little Bai and say, "Child, from today onward, you are our daughter. From today, call us Mom and Dad."
Little Bai starts crying and calls them, "Mom… Dad…"
Everyone becomes happy.
At that moment, Shen Luo also becomes very happy because he had always wanted a little sister. Now, he finally had one.
The flashback ends.
Shen Luo's eyes become cold, and he quietly leaves from there. As he walks toward his house, he sees that his mother and father have been burned.
Shen Luo controls his emotions. Then he buries all three of them and returns to Mong Tian.
Throughout all of this, the Spirit silently follows him.
The scene shifts to Mong Tian.
Mong Tian is lying injured on the empty ground. He is writing something about the Seven Major Alliances, such as how the Demonic Cultivators and Demon Kings attacked them.
After finishing everything, he ties the message to a pigeon's leg and sends it away with a wave of his hand.
"Go."
Then he thinks, "What happened to that boy? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
He lies down on the ground again.
"Ugh… I didn't think that attack would hit me this hard. Plus, those Demonic Cultivators were only Level 4. A normal army's general would be around Level 7. All of them self-destructed and injured me this badly. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Suddenly, he feels something strange.
A very dangerous aura appears.
This is the first time Mong Tian feels nervous himself.
The aura is coming from his left side.
He looks in that direction, and his eyes widen in shock.
A smile appears on his face, but sweat also starts coming down from his face.
Because Shen Luo is walking toward him.
Black-colored aura is flowing around Shen Luo.
At this moment, Shen Luo has a cold expression on his face. There is no reaction and no emotion, but the anger on his face can be clearly seen.
A strong wind blows.
Shen Luo turns toward Mong Tian and says,
"Master, I want to become your disciple. I can do anything for it."
Mong Tian remains shocked for some time.
"What happened?"
Then the Spirit tells Mong Tian everything from behind.
After hearing everything, Mong Tian replies, "Oh… so that is why you want to become my disciple. But to become my disciple, you will have to pass my test."
"Yes, Master. I am ready."
"Good. But for now, take some rest. You must be tired. Your training will start tomorrow. I know your body isn't ready for the test yet, so first you have to complete your training. So, are you ready?"
Shen Luo joins both of his hands and says,
"Yes, Master. I am ready."
"Then go and catch some beasts. We'll roast them and eat them."
"Yes, Master. I'll get started right now."
"What? He agreed that easily? Oi, Spirit, what happened to him? Why did he listen to me so easily?"
"Senior, he just lost his entire village. That's why. But I'm worried that because of what happened, he might fight a strong beast while trying to catch one."
"Yes, that's true. He must be impatient right now. So listen, Shen Luo. Come here. Master will take care of it today. For now, you and the Spirit go find some firewood while I go hunt a beast."
The scene shifts to the forest.
Shen Luo and the Spirit are together, looking for firewood.
The Spirit tries to talk to him, but Shen Luo only answers with "Yes" or "No."
This irritates the Spirit.
Suddenly, there is some movement in front of them.
At that moment, many beasts start running away from there as if they are frightened by something.
Shen Luo thinks it might be a Demonic Cultivator, so he angrily rushes toward that direction to kill it.
The Spirit follows behind him and shouts, "Wait! There could be a beast there!"
But Shen Luo gives no answer and continues running in that direction.
The Spirit also follows him.
Then they see Shen Luo suddenly standing still in one place.
The Spirit thinks, "What happened? Why did he suddenly stop?"
Then the Spirit looks in the direction Shen Luo is staring.
After seeing it, sweat starts coming from the Spirit's body, and his body begins to tremble.
Because right in front of them, a Level 4 beast monster is leveling up.
It is completing its Thunder Evolution.
A huge explosion occurs.
The surrounding ground begins to shake, and dust fills the area.
Then a beast emerges from there.
It is a bear-type beast, covered in strong armor with long claws.
The beast looks toward them.
Before either of them can react, it attacks.
Shen Luo still looks completely calm as the beast charges toward him.
On the other side, the Spirit is terrified.
"Run! Hurry! Otherwise, we'll die!"
But Shen Luo shows no reaction.
The beast gets closer and closer.
Until it is right in front of him.
