The Journey of the Strongest Ruler
CHAPTER 9

Whana stood in front of the stone slit. Then he started doing very complicated movements with his fingers.

Yep! What Whana did was the process of making an array formation. The array formations that Whana created were very different from most arrays that existed on the mainland of Liba. In fact, the grand master of the array would be difficult to recognize or break the array formation that Whana had made. This was because the array formation that Whana made was an Ancient Array whose existence had been considered lost from this world.

"Illusory array," cried out softly Whana while throwing a streak of purplish light towards the rock crevice. Instantly the stone gap no longer saw that there was a gap. It was as if the stone was an intact stone.

\[Ding! Congratulations Sir. The Array Master's level has leveled up. The current level is 1/10\]

Ignoring the notification system in her mind, Whana walked across the river, where the direction was heading out of the Deathly Forest. Whana wants to go home soon to give her father medicine. In addition, Whana is afraid that her parents are too worried about her to do unexpected things.

Whana climbed the cliff wall using the Wind Step technique. In an instant, he was already on top of a cliff.

On the way back, Whana has met various wild animals that of course Whana can handle easily. In addition to the precious part of the beast she killed, Whana also got various medicinal herbs that might be useful to her parents or she exchanged them for system points.

When it came to the outskirts of the outer forest, Whana's cultivation had reached the Sixth level of Transformation. Various techniques have also experienced significant improvements and are of course very useful for Whana.

Right almost towards the edge of the forest, Whana activated her breathing technique and hid her cultivation at the Fifth level Body Formation Stage. This was done so that there was no uproar throughout the city of Ragane even in the entire mainland of Liba.

By hiding his cultivation until the Fifth level Body Formation Stage alone, it would actually create a commotion in Ragane City. After all, within two days, Whana had broken through from the Eighth level Birth Stage directly to the Fifth level Body Formation Stage. Six stages in two days was an impossible thing to do. But Whana can find a reasonable reason if later her parents ask.

Seeing that the sun had been leaning west, indicating that it was already afternoon, Whana headed straight for the city of Ragane, to the stall that received precious materials from ferocious beasts and monsters.

Whana saw a middle-aged man sitting leaning his back against the back of a chair with his eyes closed inside the stall.

"Curtain, Uncle. I want to sell materials from beasts and monsters," Whana immediately expressed her purpose.

"Oh, here! Bring it here I want to see it," said the middle-aged man lazily. He thought that a fifteen-year-old boy with the cultivation of the Fifth level Body Formation, would at best only for a few tens of silver coins or one gold coin at most.

"Here, Uncle?" Whana hesitated for a moment because usually the place to put the materials of a savage beast or monster was in the inner room. But it was precisely in the lobby of the kiosk that can be seen by the kiosk visitors.

"Yes, here!" the middle-aged man said nonchalantly.

Without saying anything more, Whana immediately pulled out the results of her hunt on the spot. Instantly a pile of materials from ferocious beasts and monsters were mounting in the lobby of the stall.

The middle-aged man immediately said. "Oh, the monster material da-...." Haven't had time to finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock. His gaze alternated between the results of the hunt with the face of Whana several times.

Likewise with some visitors who were looking for something at the stall. Their jaws are wide open. Maybe even five chicken eggs can go straight into their mouths.

"From the Forest of Death," Whana answered briefly and casually.

"Quick put it back in! We count inside!" pinta the middle-aged man politely. Instantly his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees towards Whana.

After doing the calculations, the middle-aged man spoke to Whana. "After being counted, all of them were twenty thousand gold coins. How's little friend?"

"okay." Whana nodded in agreement. Then he took out a stack of gold coins and stuffed them into a space bag.

"Little Friend, if you hunt again, don't hesitate to come to my stall. I will pay attention to the price for Little Friend," said the middle-aged man enthusiastically.

"Okay, thank you." Whana bowed slightly to the middle-aged man and went straight back to the Rahngu family.

"What an amazing boy. What techniques are used for hunting? All of his hunted ferocious beasts were clearly far above his cultivation. Moreover, those twelve monsters. Was he helped by someone else?" sighed and asked the middle-aged man while looking at Whana's back which was progressively disappearing from his sight.

"Isn't that Whana Rahngu? Wasn't the news spread that he was being pounced on by a wild beast?" ask a passerby to his partner.

On the way many pairs of eyes were staring at Whana with full question, wonder, surprise and amazement.

"Hey! He was already at the Fifth level Body Formation Stage! Who said Young Master Whana was still at the Birth Stage?" other pedestrians also asked.

Whana did not respond to the gazes and speech of some of the pedestrians she heard and saw. He continued to slowly move his feet towards his home. Arriving at the gate of the Rahngu family, the two guards were immediately shocked.

"Young Master, you're back. The Master and Madam were very anxious." a guard said to Whana.

Whana simply responded with a smile and gave each of them one gold coin. "This is for you"

"Thank you, Young Master. Thank you." while staring at Whana's back that left them from the gate, the two guards looked at each other gratefully.

How not, one gold coin was equal to a hundred silver coins. While their wages in a month were only ten silver coins. With one gold coin, they can support their small family for ten months. Unbeknownst to Whana they secretly set their hearts on staying true to Whana and her family.

Whana headed straight for her simple house. Since his father was no longer serving as a elder in the Rahngu family, they were transferred to the usual facilities in the family.

Arriving at the door, Whana saw her mother sitting on a chair crying. Dira, Whana's sister, also cried sobbing next to her mother. Only Rimo was speechless sadly, standing some distance away from his mother and sister.

Feeling that there was someone at the door, Rimo immediately stared at the door. It just so happened that Rimo's position was right facing the door. "Madam, Young Master Wha .." before Rimo's sentence was finished, Whana's mother and sister grew even more saddened.
