A hidden task

While Lu shang was searching for the den of the wolfs he suddenly stumble across a a sleeping wolf and beside the wolf is a stone with mask in the top

"What is a mask doing here?" Lu shang thought to himself out of curiosity

Lu shang then tried getting the mask but the sleeping wolf suddenly woke up and when it saw Lu shang it immediately attack him

Lu shang was able to block the attack but he was pushed back by a few steps

The beast suddenly became larger and it's claws became much longer and sharper and it's fangs also became more sharper

Lu shang used the inferno strike to the wolf but the technique was easily dodge by the wolf and it tried slashing Lu shang using it's claws

Lu shang was able to react to it in time but he still merely dodge it and got a scratch in his arm

Lu shang then used his other technique at the wolf but was all dodged by the beast Lu shang was a bit panicking because he can't hit the beast while his getting more and more scratches

Lu shang then used his chi barrier to block the beast by a few moments but it was enough for Lu shang to activate his sword chi

The beast's claws clash with Lu shang's sword but Lu shang was getting pushed back a bit

Lu shang then used the chi strike to the beast and was able to slit it's face

The beast got furious from what it did to it's face and went on a rampage attacking Lu shang non-stop

Lu shang is getting exhausted from blocking all of the attack but he know that he can't lessen his speed or he will die and fail the task so he endured all of the pain from his body

A few seconds later the beast's movement lessen and Lu shang was able to get a chance to attack the beast

Lu shang then used chi dragon to the beast and it injured the beast but it's still strong enough to fight Lu shang equal on footing

Lu shang and the beast was only attack each other back and forth the only thing that will determine the winner is the stamina and the beast was getting more fatigue the longer the fight goes on because of it's injury giving Lu shang an advantage

A few minutes later the beast was killed but Lu shang was so tired that he can't even stand up only using the chi barrier to block the attacks of the normal evil wolf

"Congratulations, you have complete a hidden task called 'disturbing the emperor'" the system suddenly announce and Lu shang was a bit shocked that there's a hidden task

"I see so it's a hidden task huh. Then what's the reward?"Lu shang asked

"Your reward is the mask"

"The mask?! Just that after i almost died?!" Lu shang exclaimed from anger

The system then healed a bit of Lu shang's scratches and fatigue

Lu shang then stood up and went to the stone to take the mask

"What will this even do? It only look like a fancy mask what can this even do?" Lu shang said to his thought

"You have acquired the Shadow mask, this mask will hide your presence even if someone is right beside you they will not notice you. Only special searching technique can find you when you wear it" The system explained making Lu shang think a plan when he found the evil wolf's den

Lu shang started searching the den of the evil wolf after a few minutes of resting and this time nothing is attacking him because his wearing the shadow mask

And in just half an hour he found a cave with wolf sleeping in the entrance. Lu shang then walked inside the cave without the evil wolf noticing him

Lu shang then arrived at the heart of the cave and found the king of the evil wolf and other more looking powerful evil wolf

Lu shang wasn't being noticed by the beast even though his not invisible but his presence is just like the stone but when his close at the king of the evil wolf it suddenly noticed him and tried attacking Lu shang but Lu shang was able to dodge it

Lu shang then tried using the inferno strike but it didn't able to instantly kill the king of the evil beast and because of his technique the other beasts also noticed him and all of them attacked Lu shang at one's but Lu shang used the inferno strike again disintegrating all of them

Lu shang then went to the king of the evil beast and end it's suffering

"Task complete, you will now be rewarded"

Lu shang's cultivation was able to breakthrough to the second level of spiritual lord and he was also given a blue crystal

"What's this crystal?" Lu shang asked the system

"It's a Protection crystal, when you break it it will create a barrier that only half immortals can break" Lu shang was shocked when he heard the explanation of the system

Lu shang then put it to his pocket before leaving the system to sleep

The next day Lu shang went to the south forest to find The lady

When Lu shang was about to enter the forest Lady xiu suddenly tapped him in the back

"Lady xiu you almost scared me there" Lu shang said

"Why are you here?"

"Well can you do me a favor" Lu shang said

"What is it?" The lady asked

"Can you help me train?" Lu shang said

"Why do you need my help"

"Well i can't learn more when im only training alone"

"Alright fine"

The lady and Lu shang then went to the middle of the forest

"I can only teach you flame techniques are you alright with that?"

"Yeah but can you only use flame techniques?" Lu shang asked out of curiosity

"Of course not it's just that my mastery at other things are way too high for you to understand" The lady boasted to Lu shang
