Beside a deep pool...
A young man speaks with scorn:
"A lowly Qi Refining cultivator has no business being here. Hurry up and... Mmph, mmmph?"
Before he can finish, an immortal-looking old man beside him waves a hand and seals his mouth with a burst of spiritual energy. The old man nervously looks down at the little kid in the Qi Refining Realm.
The kid pays no attention to the farce in the air. As if talking to himself, he asks:
"Blue Star AI, what realm are you at now? Can you beat the Dao-Proving Realm loach in the pool?"
After a series of data beeps, a voice answers:
"I can!"
The kid gives an OK sign, then casually finds a nearby tree with a good view and leans against it. He pulls a small bamboo cup from his pocket. When he unscrews the lid, it's filled to the brim with fruit tea. He sticks a thin bamboo straw into the cup, crosses his legs, and sips contentedly.
The sword he'd casually set down by his feet is suddenly enveloped in a thick surge of spiritual energy and rises into the air. It turns into a streak of light and shoots toward the forehead of the evil dragon at the bottom of the pool, which had recently devoured a city and its tens of thousands of inhabitants!
The dragon is asleep when a sudden, inexplicable sense of mortal danger jolts it awake. It has no time to think. Its body reacts instinctively, leaping out of the water in a towering column as it tries to escape.
But the flying sword is faster. Just as the dragon bursts through the surface, the streak of light slams into its dripping-wet head. A violent burst of energy sends out wave after wave of visible shockwaves...
The plot after Chapter 10 is very interesting
