The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

A month passed, and the Origin Martial Academy announced its entrance examination in Guangling Valley, prompting martial disciples from four states to converge on Feng City.

He began having recurring dreams of being a white ape, leading other monkeys and experiencing a supernatural event under the moonlight.
