On the Yulan Continent, a vast world filled with earth and oceans, was a small village located in the Blue Azure Province within the large territory of the Qin Empire, in that small village, young people were training in the middle of the day in a large grass field while supporting the heat of the sun. These youths came from every corner within the Blue Azure Province, leaving their home, they aimed to join the Xu clan, one of the strongest clan within the region and dreamed to become future Soul Warriors. In front of these youths, an instructor was observing them with admiration in his eyes, he could see the motivation of the youths through their hardworking movements. The instructor was a 1-Star Soul Warrior from the Xu clan, the one charged to train them. "Very well everyone, now let''s do a ten minutes break before starting the sparring training." The youths stopped their movements after hearing the instructor''s instruction. Within the crowd of the young people, a brown-haired boy with blue eyes was sitting totally exhausted from the training. His name was Yin Yun, nothing more than a common fourteen years old boy from the Jiangsu Village. Approaching him, a handsome black-haired boy with black eyes followed by two other young boys who seem to be his servants, they were looking at Yin Yun with mocking eyes, the black-haired boy was the son of a noble Xu clan''s Soul Warrior and one of the most promising martial artist of the Jiangsu Village. "Humph, already tired after that kind of training, you should give up in joining the Xu clan already you weakling." "Hahaha, you''re right young master Chen, such a weakling doesn''t deserve to join the Xu clan." The surroundings young boys were whispering to each other while looking at the scene happening in front of them, it was a daily bullying towards Yin Yun since he joined the Xu training camp. Yin Yun was the weakest of the youngsters amongst the Jiangsu Village, being the target of Xu Chen, the son of a noble Soul Warrior, nobody dares to get involved with him. "Since the sparring training will start soon, you don''t mind becoming my training partner, do you?" It was oblivious that Xu Chen wants to bully Yin Yun, every time they started sparring, Xu Chen always targeted Yin Yun as "sparring partner" to beat him without any restraint. It was Xu Chen''s way to threaten him to stop aiming to join his noble Xu clan he was proud of, such a trash like him doesn''t deserve to join his clan was what Xu Chen thought. Looking at Xu Chen, the instructor could only sigh with a depressed expression showing on his face and ignored the spectacle in front of him. The instructor was a 1-Star Warrior, it was easy for him to stop the bullying from Xu Chen but he was following the order of his superior, Xu Chen''s father to nurture the youths of the training camp, afraid of being scolded by Xu Chen''s father, the instructor didn''t want to get into meanless troubles. Yin Yun got used to the daily bullying of Xu Chen, accepting the training sparring without having really the choice to refuse, he let out a sigh and accepted Xu Chen''s proposal and became his sparring training, being bullied by Xu Chen until he was fully satisfied, he get one-sidedly beaten up, the training ended once the sun was down. Finishing the daily training, the youths left the training place leaving Yin Yun alone lying on the grass fields. Looking at the orange sky with bruises all over his body, he bit his lips in frustration. Yin Yun''s mother was a poor commoner of the Jiangsu Village, working hard every day to look after her sick daughter, he tried his best to become a Soul Warrior to help his mother to have an easier life. He didn''t want to cause any troubles for his beloved mother, which was the reason why he didn''t want to respond the bullying of Xu Chen bringing more harm than good to his family. "Aaah...I should start collecting medicinal herbs soon." With a sigh, Yin Yun stood up from the grass fields, directing towards the forest''s entrance near the Jiangsu Village to collect medicinal herbs. At the forest''s entrance of the Jiangsu Village, low-grade medicinal herbs grow in abundance. It could only be harvested during the night which was the most dangerous moment in the forest''s entrance due to the wild beasts living inside the forest, but to Yin Yun, it was his favored spot due to the huge income he could earn through the medicinal herbs. It was Yin Yun''s usual everyday lifestyle since he was a child, training until the sunset to become stronger and picking up medicinal herbs until it gets dark to earn money. Arriving at the forest''s entrance, Yin Yun started to search around the forest''s entrance for medicinal herbs, after searching for around two whole hours he succeeded to gather quite a good amount before calling to an end to his herbs gathering. "I should head back before wild beasts appear." Wild beasts appearing near the forest''s entrance of the Jiangsu Village during night worried Yin Yun, it never happened to him until now but it didn''t mean that it was safe to collect medicinal herbs during the night. When he was about to leave the forest''s entrance, a sudden growl could be heard. Turning his head towards the forest''s entrance, three wild wolves suddenly appeared in front of him. Staying too long in front of the forest''s entrance, it was the first time that Yin Yun actually encountered wild beasts during his herbs gathering. His body started trembling once the wild wolves entered in his sight. "Shit! This is bad..." With Yin Yun''s actual strength, it was hard for him to escape them. He wasn''t strong enough to fight those wild wolves not even talking about escaping them with a bag of medicinal herbs on his back. ''This is where I''m going to die? Don''t joke with me! I''m Yin Yun, the son of the 3-Stars Soul Warrior Yin Mu!'' Encouraging himself to move his trembling legs, Yin Yun tried to run towards the village''s entrance but his speed compared to the wild wolves was too slow, getting caught from behind by one of the wild wolves, he fell on the ground. Turning his head, he tried to kick one of the wolves who was on the top of him but in vain. Bitten by the wolf on his leg, he tried to keep kicking him but didn''t succeed to repel him. Suddenly, behind him, without him noticing it, a dark portal appeared out of nowhere. The wild wolves who saw the dark portal appearing quickly returned inside the forest due to their survival instinct telling them to get away from that strange dark portal. Suprised by the wild wolves retreating, Yin Yun muttered surprised. "Eh? Why are they retreating?" Turning his head behind him, Yin Yun saw the dark portal and crawled a meter away from it. A book came out from the dark portal and right after the dark portal disappeared as if he never appeared. Slowly approaching the book that was lying on the ground, when Yin Yun touched the book, a notification popped into his head.
Do you want to learn the Legendary All Jobs Book?
Yes/No
''The Legendary All Jobs Book? What the heck is that?! There is the word Legendary written on it, it may be a legendary book? But where did it came from? Legendary book... If I was to sell this book, I may become rich!'' Such thought appeared in Yin Yun''s mind. When he was going to choose the "No" button, he fell into a deeper thought. ''No... Forget it, Yin Yun, even if you tried to sell this book, there is no way that you can have a fair price for it. Since it''s a legendary book, even your own life will be in danger if you were to sell this... For now, you need to become stronger! Right, maybe with that book, becoming a soul warrior is not a dream!'' In the end, after falling in deep thought and hesitating for a while, Yin Yun decided to bring back the book with him and head back home without choosing an option ignoring the notification in his head. "Yun''er why did you come back so late? And what did happen to you?! What are those bruises all over your body?" When he arrived at his home, his mother who was waiting for him at the house''s entrance shouted with a worried tone. "Sorry mother... I was training more than usual today and ended retarding my herbs gathering..." Trying to find a good excuse, Yin Yun lied to his mother to not worry her too much. "Ai... I already told you Yun''er, you don''t need to force yourself to help me to earn money with herbs gathering... As long as you returned safely from your training, I don''t mind working hard all the day." Even though her mother didn''t want his son to gather medicinal herbs to help the family during the night, a proud smile could be seen on her face. "Hm, sorry to make you worry mother." Sitting on the wooden chair, Yin Yun and his mother started eating the dinner his mother prepared. After he finished eating, Yin Yun returned to his own room and laid on his straw bed. He took out the book that was hidden in his bag filled with medicinal herbs and decided to learn the "Legendary All Jobs Book" by pressing the "Yes" button. An incalculable number of data started entering in Yin Yun''s brain once he pressed the "Yes" button, the unbearable pain due to the data entering in his brain collapse him on the spot.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. "Ugh... I see I ended collapsing after learning the book." After waking up, Yin Yun noticed that it was already the morning. Recollecting his memories, he became excited all of sudden due to the new pieces of knowledge he obtained through the book. Standing up from his bed, he took the bag filled medicinal herbs that he gathered last night under his straw bed and took out a medicinal leaf within the bag while saying "Analyze" in his mind. A detailed notification of the medicinal herb appeared into his head.
Item:
Medicinal Green Leaf
Grade: Low
Ingredients of: Alchemy, Soul Regenerating Pill
Crafting Requirement: 10 Soul Energy
The notification that appeared inside Yin Yun''s head proved him the fact that the information he learned from the book was real. Just by thinking about all the possibilities from the book, he had chills on his back. Taking a closer look at the information within the notification, a thought entered Yin Yun''s mind. ''I wonder what is the Soul Energy that is required to craft the Regenerating Pill...'' After having such thought, he decided to craft this so-called Soul Regenerating Pill. ''Craft Regenerating Pill!'' In the next second, his mind went blank as if something from the innermost parts of his soul has been used. But even before he could have realized what It was, the Medicinal Green Leaf in his hand shined brightly before disappearing from his hand, what replaced it was a red-looking pill instead.A short message popped into his head.
Craft Created!
Following that notification, anotherdetailed notification similar to the last one popped into his head. Looking at the red pill in his hand, a shocking expression could be seen on his face.
Item:
Soul Regenerating Pill
Grade: Low
Effects: After using the Soul Regenerating Pill, the user regenerates 20% of his total Soul Energy.
Upgrade Requirement: 500 Soul Energy
''I can also upgrade the pill?!'' ''Upgrade!'' Trying to upgrade the Soul Regenerating Pill, this time nothing happened. ''I see, the Soul Energy is an energy within my body, using this Soul Energy, I can create this pill and upgrade them, I can''t upgrade the pill if the Soul Energy within me is lower than the requirement... Using this pill will regenerate my soul energy...'' A sudden idea falls into Yin Yun''s mind, taking out all of his Medicinal Green Leaves within the bag, he started to create Soul Regenerating Pill using the Medicinal Green Leaf until that his soul energy exhausted to the point of him collapsing, before using Regenerating Pills to regenerate his soul energy and restarted creating Soul Regenerating Pill with the Medicinal Green Leaf. After several minutes passed, Yin Yu succeeded to create fifty Soul Regenerating Pills, using a total amount of twenty Regenerating Pills during this process. Picking ten Regenerating Pills with him, he put them in his pocket and put the forty other Regenerating Pills in the bag hiding them under his straw bed. After leaving his bedroom, he entered in his little sister''s bedroom. A young girl could be seen lying on a straw bed. Feeling depressed about his little sister''s disease, Yin Yun walked towards his little sister who was in a deep sleep with sweats falling all over her body. Wondering if he could Analyze to learn more about her disease, Yin Yun used Analyze on her. A notification popped into his head giving him the information of his little sister''s condition.
Name:
Yin Meng
Conditions: Cold Wolf''s Disease
Medicine That Can Restore The Conditions: Hot Chilling Pill
Once Yin Yun learned that he could cure his little sister''s disease, he sighed in relief. ''Meng''er... I can do it; big brother will definitely help you to restore your health back! Just wait a little longer...'' With that thought, Yin Yun directed towards the kitchen, he didn''t want to wake her up and let her sleep in peace. Sitting on the wooden chair next to the kitchen table, he started eating his breakfast that has already been prepared by his mother before going to work. It was only grilled eggs, but for him, it was enough to satisfier his hunger. Yin Yu was a poor commoner and couldn''t afford to eat a luxury breakfast, eggs were not expensive and excepted for potatoes during winter due to the lack of eggs, it was the only food that his family could afford to buy and eat. The wooden house Yin Yun and his family was living was the house that his father bought when he was still a child, it was a small wooden house with only 4 rooms but it was enough for him and his family to live. Compared to being homeless, it was better than nothing. Leaving the house, Yin Yun directed towards the Jiangsu''s market that was already busy early in the morning. It was the only market of the Jiangsu Village; thus, a lot of people came during the morning to do their usual daily shopping. Directing towards a medicine store, Yin Yun entered the medicine store. Walking toward the owner of the medicine store, the owner welcomed him with a smile but after that, he suddenly takes a closer look at him, his expression changed from a pleasant one into an annoyed one. With his tattered clothes, the store owner wondered if such a poor youngster could afford to buy medicine. "What''s your business here, young boy? Don''t stay too long if you don''t intend to buy anything." From the annoyed tone of the owner, Yin Yun already guessed that he didn''t want him to waste his time, he took out a Soul Regenerating Pill from his pocket and put it on the counter. "This is a Soul Regenerating Pill, using it, one can regenerate one''s soul energy; how much can you buy me that pill?" Looking at the red pill in front of him, the owner frowned and showed a shocking expression before smiling at Yin Yun with a wicked smile. Soul Regenerating Pill was the base of the alchemy and was one of the basic pills created by the alchemists, such a common pill could be sold for quite a good amount of money to the Soul Warriors to regenerate the Soul Energy they used during training or after a fight. Becoming polite all of sudden after learning that Yin Yun possessed such pills, the owner of the medicine store proposed a price for the Soul Regenerating Pills. "Young master, I can buy you this pill for a silver coin each pill." ''This kind of low-grade Soul Regenerating Pill must cost quite a good sum. Not that I mind being scammed, but let''s try to negotiate a better price.'' With Yin Yun''s actual wealth, being scammed doesn''t matter much to him. Right now, he needed to earn as much as he could afford to, no matter what to help his mother who''s working hard every day to buy his little sister''s medicines. Even if he succeeded to win a single additional copper coin from the bargaining, it was worth it. "I''ll sell you ten of those Regenerating Pills for two silver coins each, not a single copper coins less." Stating his price, the owner of the medicine store smiled towards Yin Yun and quickly accepted the proposal before that Yin Yun changed his mind. After selling the Soul Regenerating Pills, Yin Yun left the medicine store and started walking towards the training camp of the Xu clan. ***** Inside of the medicine store, the owner was looking at the Soul Regenerating Pills with a greedy expression. Those Soul Regenerating Pills actually costs around ten silver coins each, buying them for an amount of twenty silver coins the ten of them was an amazing deal. "But to think that such a poor youngster have Soul Regenerating Pills... He''s probably not an alchemist, there is no way that an alchemist can be living in that poor village... I need to investigate about him but in any case, doing business with him is really good." Calling out one of his servant who just came back from his work and entered the store, he ordered. "You, follow that young boy who just left and starts gathering information about that young boy. You better do your work discretely without getting caught!" "Yes, sir!" The servant quickly left the medicine store with great haste right after returning from his work. "Hehehe, if I can discover a way to force him to sell me for such good pills for a cheap price, I''ll be able to start a commerce in the Xu Village. Even becoming a wealthy merchant of Qin City isn''t a dream anymore!" ***** Arriving in the training camp of the Xu clan, Yin Yun joined the group of youths who already started their jogging around the grass field. It was necessary for the future Soul Warriors to train their stamina, it was a daily physical training that the instructor recommended to the youths until the time that he arrived in the training camp. As soon as the instructor has arrived, the youths who were running around the grass field started to gather in front of the instructor waiting for his instructions. "In two weeks from now, an elder from the Xu clan will be coming to choose several promising future warriors to join the Xu Village. A test will be held with a soul crystal to decide either you will be chosen or not. Be sure to thoughtfully train your physical strength until then. Now let''s start the daily sparring training after a short break." Hearing the instructor''s sudden announcement, the crowd became agitated; It was finally the time for those youths to have the chance to become a soul warrior, they finally felt worth receiving the harsh training during all that time since they first joined the Xu clan''s training camp. During the break, they couldn''t help but becomes excited. Discussing amongst them about the incoming test that was held in two weeks, Yin Yun, as always was alone in a corner of the crowd sitting on the grass fields in deep thought. Noticing that three people were approaching him, he let out a depressed sigh, they were Xu Chen and his servant. "You weakling still didn''t give up to join my honorable Xu clan huh? Today I''m going to beat you so hard that you''ll totally give up the idea of joining my Xu clan." After warning him or rather after threatening him, the sparring training started and obliviously, Yin Yun became the training partner of Xu Chen. Receiving an even harder beating than usual, Yin Yun noticed that Xu Chen''s beating didn''t hurt that much compared to yesterday or the days before. ''Is he holding back? From his look, probably not... Which means that he becomes weaker compared to yesterday? No... Did I become stronger?'' With such thought in Yin Yun''s mind, he ended gave up thinking too much and didn''t want to try out his theory, if he was to block Xu Chen''s blows or tried to hit back, he was afraid to infuriate him or worst-case scenario; hurting him. As soon as Yin Yun finished the daily sparring, the sun was down. Once again lying on the ground from exhaustion with bruises all over his body, he looks at the beautiful orange sky and recalled what the instructor announced this morning. Yin Yun hoped that he could join the Xu Village to become a Soul Warrior. If he was to succeed, he''ll be able to change his lifestyle and face poverty, becoming someone else, the dream of becoming a Soul Warrior, it was finally the opportunity for him to change. With such thought, he stood up and directed towards the forest''s entrance to collect medicinal herbs, it was the everyday lifestyle of that young boy called Yin Yun. Chapter II Chapter II: Accused of Cheating
"He''s a 14 years old boy, a commoner from the village. He joined the Xu clan''s training camp and... Selling Soul Regenerating Pills in the morning, training during the day and collecting herbs during the night, this is the usual lifestyle of that young boy called Yin Yun sir..." Telling his report to his master, the servant of the medicine store''s owner tensed up while waiting for a good reaction from him. "And when or how does he even create his Soul Regenerating Pills? You do not care about your life, do you? You better not joking around and do your job correctly! You... Useless fool! Keep following that young boy until that you find out his secret in creating the Soul Regenerating Pills!" Infuriated by the undetailed report from his servant, the medicine store owner throws the report sheets towards his servant. Afraid of angering his master any longer, the servant left the medicine store as quickly as possible leaving the medicine store owner alone in the medicine store. "Really... what a useless servant... I may need a better plan against that boy, but this is weird, how does this young boy have so much Soul Regenerating Pills? Did he really become the disciple of an alchemist? But the report didn''t mention any master alchemist... but If this is really the case, I should be more careful from now on, I don''t want to dig my own grave while scamming that boy." After a deep thought, a wave of hesitation falls upon the medicine store owner, he was a smart merchant, he didn''t want to choose the wrong choice. What was the good thing to do? To forcibly steal his secret method to craft the Soul Regenerating Pills? Or to associate with that boy to earn more money, which was the right choice? The store owner was at loss about what to do with that young lad named Yin Yun. ***** Three days have passed since the day that Yin Yun found the Legendary All Jobs Book. His every day''s lifestyle didn''t change much since then but today was different.After finishing his daily training in the Xu clan''s training camp, Yin Yun head back home and was meditating on his straw bed in his bedroom. Today was an exception, after these three past days, Yin Yun succeeds to earn a total amount of sixty silver coins from selling Soul Regenerating Pills. It was a huge amount of money that he couldn''t earn for a whole two months of selling medicinal herbs. During those past three days, Yin Yun collected and created a large amount of Soul Regenerating Pills, selling ten pills per day, he stocked up a total amount of two hundred Soul Regenerating Pills. Exhausting his Soul Energy every day, his Soul Energy has increased significantly. The reason why he didn''t go to the forest''s entrance today was quite simple. To begin, the Medicinal Green Leaves could only be harvested after a full day of growth, thus, during those past three days, Yin Yun actually collected too many Medicinal Green Leaves near the forest''s entrance of the Jiangsu Village leaving almost no Green Leaf herbs remaining to grow. Leaving only a tiny amount of Green Leaves left, he needed to wait at least a full day without collecting it for the Medicinal Green Leaf to let it expand its territory. The second reason was the main reason and it was to learn a new cultivation technique, the Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique. The Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique was a cultivation technique that Yin Yun discovered from the Legendary All Jobs Book, requiring more than three hundred Soul Energy to unlock the cultivation technique, only reaching three hundred and twenty Soul Energy today, he didn''t have enough Soul Energy until now to learn that cultivation technique. Meditating for two whole hours, Yin Yun was finally able to use the Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique. Lying on his straw bed, the exhausting meditation that he has this past two hours has exhausted almost all of his soul energy. The Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique, as the name said could strengthen a part of his body or even his whole body using his Soul Energy giving him a massive amount of strength. He thought that he''ll probably need this cultivation technique later on and the earlier he learned that cultivation technique, the better it is. Right now, Yin Yun could only strengthen a small part of his bodies such as one of his hand or one of his feet. Using the Strengthening technique was exhausting, spending a large amount of Soul Energy just by strengthening his right hand, he was depleted of his Soul Energy a few seconds later. When strengthening his whole hand, Yin Yun could destroy a rock by punching it, which was impossible for him with his current strength without using the Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique. Compared to his actual strength, the Body Strengthening Technique could multiply his actual strength by several folds. After learning and testing thoroughly his new cultivation technique, Yin Yun decided to prepare the dinner to help his mother''s daily task at home. Finishing his hard-boiled eggs dish, Yin Yun suddenly remembered that the Legendary All Jobs Book could be used in cooking as well. Using Analyze on the dish, a notification popped into his head.

Read this novel on the original website.After several tests, Yin Yun learned that he couldimprove the Hard-Boiled Eggs as long as the improvement succeeded. Increasing further than the level 10 also give additional effect to the food. Until now, he could only improve the food to the level 10, unfortunately, he didn''t succeed toimprove the Hard-Boiled Egg more than the level 10. Afraid of wasting all the remaining Hard-Boiled Eggs, in the end, Yin Yun didn''t try to increase the level any further. "I''m home! Oh, my little Yun''er did you came back home earlier than usual today? You even prepared the dinner... Ai, what a proud son I have there." Hearing his mom at the entrance, she was surprised to see that his son prepared the dinner, showing an exquisite smile filled with happiness, she sat on the wooden chair and start trying the food Yin Yun brought. "What is this? So delicious?! You should head back earlier more often to cook the food! You improved way better than last time, did anyone teach you how to cook better?" "Yes, Kind of... I also tried my best in that dish so that you can enjoy the food... Mother, do you have any impression after eating the food" "Ngh, yeah I strangely feel lighter after eating that hard-boiled egg. It feels like my tiredness faded away..." Seeing such a face filled with happiness from his mother, Yin Yun resolved himself to prepare the dinner every night for her mother''s sake. Picking a hard-boiled egg, he bit the hard-boiled egg in his hand. The sweetness of the egg could be felt from his mouth as if a strange but pleasant energy entered his body. Opening his wide eyes, he took another bite and before realizing it, ate the whole hard-boiled egg. On that night, Yin Yun made 20 hard-boiled eggs disappeared out of 40 hard-boiled eggs he prepared, but there was no way he could say that to his mother. Fortunately, it was the eggs that he bought before heading back home ***** "Master, I think this young boy is really an alchemist! I saw it with my own eyes! I took a peek in his room from the window yesterday, he... he created a Soul Regenerating Pill with his own hand after picking up a leaf from his bag! He must be an alchemist there is no doubt about it!" Hearing the report of his servant, the medicine store owner frowned. ''If this is true, then he must be a disciple of an alchemist master...''with that thought, the medicine store owner ordered. "Stop investigating about that lad any longer. As long as he keeps selling us the Soul Regenerating Pills, then this is a good trade for us." ''This young boy is really an alchemist?! I never expected that such a poor boy like him could have talents for alchemist... "The clothes do not make the monk" after all, but I should keep in touch with him. This boy is truly a gold mine! As long as he''s willing to sell the Soul Regenerating Pills to me, I can easily become the wealthiest merchant of the Qin Empire...If I''m not mistaken, he joined the training camp of the Xu clan, I should head towards the Xu Village as soon as possible.'' "You will keep the store and continue to sell the medicines in my stead there. I''ll be moving to the Xu Village. You better do a good work! You may receive a raise of salary once I''m back." Hearing that he may receive a raise of his salary, the servant answered with a cheerful voice "Yes, master! I''ll try my best!" Heading for the Xu Village, the medicine store owner directed towards his main store located at the Xu Village. ***** Ten days have passed since that night, during these past ten days, Yin Yun''s every day''s lifestyle didn''t change much apart from meditating the Body Strengthening Cultivation Technique. After earning a gold coin from the medicine store, Yin Yun stopped collecting Medicinal Green Leaf. Giving the gold coin to his beloved mother, Yin Yun lied to his mother by telling her that he found a rare medicinal herb while collecting Medicinal Green Leaf. Creating quite an amount of Soul Regenerating Pills, Yin Yun didn''t have the need to collect Medicinal Green Leaf anymore at least until that he used all the four hundred his Soul Regenerating Pills that he kept. With the remaining sixty silver coins he earned, Yin Yun expected to buy some armor gears after entering the Xu Village. Confident enough to succeed today''s test to join the Xu clan, Yin Yun directed towards the training camp of the Xu clan. The moment Yin Yun arrived at the training camp, the instructor could be seen with two men next to him with an emblem of "Xu" showing behind their back, one could guess that they were two elders from the Xu clan. One was wearing a white robe and luxury accessories while the other one was wearing the same white robe but with his face was hidden by a hood. In front of them, a crowd of youths could be seen standing straight waiting for the elderly old man to speak, joining the group of youths, Yin Yun wondered what kind of test will be held to determine either or not he''ll be accepted to join the Xu clan. "Alright, It''s about time. Form a line in front of me. Each of you will be tested either or not you have enough Soul Energy to join our Xu Clan." With that single announcement from one of the elderly man, the group of youths quickly moved in front of the old man forming a long line hoping to pass the test.Even though the Xu clan was a strong clan within the Blue Azure Province, it was still amazing to see that many people participating in that training camp. The first one to pass the test was Xu Chen from the Xu clan, holding a red Soul Crystal in his hand, the crystal shined brightly with a red color. Watching the brightness of the crystal, the elderly man nodded his head. "Xu Chen, Soul Energy 239, you passed. Come behind me. Next!" "Pan Long, Soul Energy 200, you passed. Come behind me. Next!" "Pan Luo, Soul Energy 180, you passed. Come behind me. Next!" "Luo Fong, Soul Energy 149, you failed. Leave that place. Next!" "...Next!" "...Next!" "..." The long line was gradually shrinking as the youths who failed the test left the training camp. Behind the old man, only twenty young boys out of two hundred passed the test. Now it was finally Yin Yun''s turn. "Yin Yun, Soul Energy... What?! Three... No, Four hundred Fifty?!" Showing a unbelieved face, the elderly old man takes a closer look at Yin Yun, from his clothes, he should be a common young boy from the Jiangsu Village and couldn''t afford to use pills to increase his Soul Energy. "Then how come he had such a huge Soul Energy at the young age of fourteen?!" With such thought, the elderly old man''s body trembled as he shouted. "A genius...It must be a genius! Pass! You passed the test!" On the contrary, the other man whose face was hidden by the hood muttered "Yin Yun... Yin?!" But his voice was too low, thus, nobody knows that he actually spoke. "No way, this weakling a genius? He cheated! He must be cheating! There is no way such a weakling could be stronger than me." Hearing the shout of one of the youths who passed the test, the old man turned his back and saw a handsome black-haired boy walking towards Yin Yun while pointing towards him, it was Xu Cheng. "You..." ''To accuse me of cheating?! Your foolishness knows no limit, Xu Chen!!!'' Fiercely glaring at Xu Chen, a slight killing intent leaked out from Yin Yun. It was the first time that he actually wants to give Xu Chen a beating. ''If the Xu clan reject me because of you, I''ll definitely seek for revenge!'' It was the only opportunity for Yin Yun to become a Soul Warrior within the Blue Azure Province. If he was rejected by the Xu clan, he was losing his only opportunity to become a Soul Warrior. Hearing the accusation of the young black-haired boy, the hooded-man leaked out a slight smile that couldn''t be seen from others and approached Yin Yun while grabbing one of his hand. Wondering why the hooded-man from the Xu clan grabbed his hand, Yin Yun''s eyes were redirected towards the hooded-man releasing the killing intent he had towards Xu Chen. "This young boy is right! That boy actually cheated with a Strengthening Soul Crystal on his hand, here is the proof!" Showing the Strengthening Soul Crystal in the hand that grabbed Yin Yun, Yin Yun''s eyes widened to the point of popping out both of his eyes from his face. He was totally shocked and didn''t expect the hooded-man to collide with Xu Chen. "I didn''t! I swear I didn''t cheat! I... I-" Interrupted by the hooded-man, Yin Yun couldn''t prove his innocence. "This boy''s test is canceled and he''ll never be able to pass the test of any other clans within the Blue Azure Province ever again. He will also be banished off the Blue Azure Province. Now disappear from my sight!" Since the hooded-man belongs to the Xu clan, he gained the trust of the people gathered at training camp. There was no apparent reason for the Xu clan to utter such lie. Whispers from the crowd of youths could be heard next to Yin Yun. "Humph, I know that such a weakling could only have cheated to have such a high number of Soul Energy what an idiot." Snorted Xu Cheng. "Hahaha, why did he even choose such a high number? He''s indeed really stupid" One of the servants of Xu Chen said. "Why did he even tried to cheat in front of two elders... he must to have a bird''s brain." All kind of swearing could be heard from the group of youths, everyone believed that Yin Yun truly cheated. "Xu Fao... But..." The old man from the Xu clan didn''t saw any Strengthening Soul Crystal when he gave the red Soul Crystal to Yin Yun and tried to reason his senior, but the hooded-man, Xu Fao said in a cold tone towards his junior. "Xu Hao, do you dare to contradict me?!" With that single sentence, Xu Hao, the elderly old man shook his head and announced while feeling regretful, "Such a waste to refuse such a talented young boy..." He thought. "Yin Yun, you are forbidden to join any other clans within the Blue Azure Province. Disappear from the Blue Azure Province and never appear again!" The Xu clan''s influence within the Blue Azure Province was huge, to never appear in the Blue Azure Province means that Yin Yun had to leave the Jiangsu Village and disappear from the Blue Azure Province if he didn''t want his life or his family''s life to be in danger. He had but no other choice to leave the Blue Azure Province! ''Why such a thing is happening to me... Xu Chen and that hooded man. If I''m not mistaken his name was Xu Fao, I swear I''ll never forget your names... I''ll make you pay back a hundred...No... A thousand-fold for what you''ve done to me today.'' Leaving the Xu clan''s training camp, Yin Yun disappeared from the sight of the crowd, ignoring the mockery of the crowd, his eyes were filled with deep hatred towards the Xu clan. On that day, twenty new youths joined the Xu clan. Yin Yun obliviously wasn''t part of these twenty youths. ***** Returning back to his home, Yin Yun entered his home with a depressed expression. Without leaving a single message of his departure, he took out the bag filled with a large amount of Soul Regenerating Pills. "Big...brother? Are... you... back?" When he was about to leave the house, Yin Yun heard a faint and weak feminine voice, his heart throbbed as if a dagger was piercing his heart. Entering in his little sister room, Yin Yun bid farewell to his little sister while trying to not cry in front of her little sister. "Meng''er... Big brother needs to leave the house due to certain circumstances... But I promise you... I''ll definitely come back and cure your disease." "Big brother... I... I don''t know what happened, but please... don''t be sad... Meng''er will try her best... to become healthier...Have a good trip... Meng''er... will be... waiting... for big brother..." Yin Meng used all of her remaining force to say that single sentence before closing her eyes from exhaustion due to the medicine she took in the morning and in addition to her frail body, she could not stay awake for too long and fell asleep. Yin Yun who didn''t want to stay any longer in that room left the house with drops of water falling from his cheek. ''If I can''t become a Soul Warrior within the Blue Azure Province, then I''ll become the strongest Soul Warrior within the Qin Empire! When I come back, I''ll destroy your so-called honorable Xu clan.'' Directing towards the Jiangsu Village''s exit and with the wish to become stronger, Yin Yun set his new goal. Chapter III Chapter III: Encounter with bandits and learning the Tiger''s series!
Before leaving the Jiangsu Village, Yin Yun bought several goods such as leather armored gear, rations of steamed buns, a dagger as his weapon and a large backpack to carry everything. He put the all his stuff inside his backpack including the Soul Regenerating Pills that were within another bag and left the Jiangsu Village. Having spent thirty silver coins to buy his goods, only thirty silver coins remained. Entering the forest near to the Jiangsu Village, Yin Yun''s destination was the capital of the Qin Empire, Qin City. Qin City was the largest city of the Qin Empire, located at the center of the Qin Empire, he will have to travel for a whole month before he can reach Qin City. Surveying his surroundings, Yin Yun decided to take a break after walking for an hour. Sitting on a grass field within the forest, the area was an open field allowing him to monitor without any risks the incoming wild beasts that could appear during his break. Opening his backpack, he took out the leather-armored gears he bought beforehand such as a leather tunic, a leather belt, and leather armbands. Picking up the leather tunic, using Analyze on it, the detailed notification of the leather tunic popped into his head.

''As expected, not only upgrading foods, but I can also upgrade equipment!'' Without hesitation, Yin Yun upgraded his leather tunic. ''Upgrade!'' ''Upgrade!'' ''Upgrade!'' Taking a closer look at the leather tunic once again, he showed a satisfied expression after upgrading it for the 10th time.

''Oh! I can sense that the leather tunic is releasing Soul Energy now.'' As Yin Yun said, a weak Soul Energy could be sensed on the leather tunic. Taking out the dagger inside the backpack, he started upgrading the dagger in his hand. ''Upgrade!'' A few seconds later...

But the 10% of increase of attack speed should be amazing during a fight, I wonder how do you know when your attack speed is increasing...

''Alright, this should be good. With all that Agility increased, It should be worth upgrading them.''The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Having upgraded and enchanted his leather-armored gear, Yin Yun took out eight Soul Regenerating Pills from his medicine bag inside the backpack, exhausting almost all of his Soul Energy just by having upgrading his equipment, he could feel his body totally numb from the exhaustion. Swallowing five Soul Regenerating Pills to completely regenerate his Soul Energy, he took out a steamed bun from his backpack and started improving it before eating it.

Filling his stomach, Yin Yun stood up and prepared to continue his journey when all of sudden, a woman''s scream resounded the whole forest. Putting the three Soul Regenerating Pills in his pocket, he picked up his backpack and ran towards the direction of the cry. While running towards the destination of the cry, he was surprised that his movements were faster compared to before. ''I know that the Agility increased was amazing but to that point...'' Following a road, he saw a carriage a few meters further, next to the carriage, two bloody bodies of young men at the same age as Yin Yun could be seen lying on the ground. Approaching closer to the carriage, there were two young women surrounded by a group of bandits several meters farther from the carriage. ''There are four bandits, I should probably be able to handle them. This is also a good timing to try out my Body Strengthening Technique.'' Each of the four bandits was equipped with longsword and leather-armored gear. None of them were releasing Soul Energy, which means that none of them were a Soul Warrior, only normal bandits. Even though that they were bandits that could be found everywhere, if Yin Yun wasn''t careful enough, there was still a slight chance for him to be endangered and lose his life during the process of saving the young women. With that thought, Yin Yun''s body suddenly started to tremble while recalling the fight he had with the wild wolves when he first found the Legendary All Jobs Book. ''Not good, get a hold of yourself! You are stronger than before, just trust yourself.'' After talking to himself, he took a deep breath to calm himself and charged towards the bandits. Coming out of his bush, a slight moving sound could be heard from Yin Yun''s location. The bandits who noticed the noise turned their heads towards him. "Wha-" The distance between Yin Yun and the bandits was roughly around fifty meters. Running as fast as he could, he closed the distance between them within 5 seconds and strengthen his right fist with his Body Strengthening Technique. The bandits who didn''t expect a sudden surprise attack all of sudden didn''t have the time to take a fighting stance. Pow! A strong sound resounded once his right fist entered into contact with the stomach of one of the bandits. Not enough to break his bones, it was still strong enough to collapse him on the spot. ''One down.'' "You bastard!" Blocking the incoming attack of the bandit on his left with his left wrist strengthened, the longsword entered in contact with his leather armbands. A "Clang" sound resounded as if the longsword collided with a metal bar which destabilized the bandit and numbed both of his hands. Strengthening his right foot, Yin Yun gave a low kick towards the bandit''s left leg. Receiving the strengthened low kick from him, the bandit dropped his longsword from the numbing of his body and the pain received by the low kick. Losing his balance, he made an agonizing cry. Regaining his fighting stance, Yin Yun didn''t give the opportunity of the bandit to regain his balance. Closing the gap between them, he grabbed the back of the bandit''s neck with both hands and strengthened his right knee before aiming at the bandit''s face with a knee strike. Receiving a strengthened knee strike on his face, the bandit has been knocked out and fell to the ground before realizing what happened to him. ''Two down.'' Recovering from the surprise attack and realizing that two of their comrades were beaten, the two remaining bandits finally regained their composure and tried to land a simultaneous attack towards Yin Yun. It was a coordinated attack from both side perfectly synchronized. "Wha-" Blocking both of their weapons with both of his wrists strengthened, he raised his arms violently in the air. Losing their balance due to that, Yin Yun took advantage of that opportunity and strengthened his right foot before kicking both of them in their stomach. At that moment, his movements were so fast that only a blurred motion could be seen from his move. ''Four down!'' Knocking out the four bandits within five minutes, he sighed in relief. Using quite a large amount of Soul Energy due to the [Body Strengthening Technique], he was afraid of exhausting all of his Soul Energy. Walking towards the young women, he suddenly lost his balance due to the exhaustion of his Soul Energy and the overuse of his Body Strengthening Technique. ''Ugh... The Body Strengthening Technique uses really too much of Soul Energy... I already almost depleted all of my Soul Energy after only a few minutes of using it!'' Taking out the three Soul Regenerating Pills from his pocket Yin Yun swallowed the three pills them in one gulp. The three Soul Regenerating Pills completely regenerated him 60% of his Soul Energy returning him back his strength to move properly. The young women who were watching the fight not far away from Yin Yun opened both of their eyes wide open while muttering the word, "Amazing" before realizing that Yin Yun actually saved them. "Are the both of you alright?" "Yes...Thanks to you we were saved. Are you perhaps a Soul Warrior?" It was the only explanation that could come out from the young women''s mouth after watching such an unbelievable scene with her own eyes. "No, only a mere apprentice Soul martial artist, I can''t call myself as a Soul Warrior yet." ''Only a mere apprentice Soul martial artist you say...'' It was true enough; Yin Yun didn''t have the ability of a real Soul Warrior yet. A 1-Star Soul Warrior such as the instructor of the Xu clan in the Jiangsu Village could easily deal with those kinds of bandits three times faster than him. It was just how strong a Soul Warrior was. "We should move away from this place before they wake up. I only knock them out after all." Looking at the unconscious bandits, Yin Yun didn''t want to waste any more time there. Looting their equipment and money, he tied the bandits to a tree using a rope that one of the bandits possessed. Talking to each other during their journey, Yin Yun comes to learn the young women''s names. The black-haired tall girl with round black eyes, a jade-like nose with perfect curves and beautiful red lips was called Cai Hong, she was the daughter of an innkeeper. The other blue-haired petite girl with beautiful green eyes, thin eyebrows and pink rose lips was his little sister, Cai Chen. Both of them were accompanied by two bodyguards and were returning to their home after visiting a friend of them. Unfortunately, they ended up encountering a group of bandits during their travel, they were bandits coming from the Xuegong Mountain. A gang of unsavory thugs focused on targeting traveling carriage around the Xuegong Village. Led by Qian Zexi a dangerous 1-Star Soul Warrior, the bandits were controlling the road between the Jiangsu Village and the Xuegong Village. "Since you''re directing towards Qin City, then you''ll probably need to cross the Xuegong Village right? What about staying in our inn during your stay in the Xuegong Village?" Yin Yun didn''t answer to Cai Hong directly, his mind was busy with another thought. ''Exterminating the bandits of the Xuegong Mountain can be beneficial. They must possess quite a good amount of booty in their hideout. But I need to be careful about that Qian Xezi, for now, I need to become stronger before fighting a 1-Star Soul Warrior.'' "Yin Yun?" It was until that Cai Hong called once again his name that he finally noticed that she was asking him a question. "Oh, yeah, sorry I was lost in my thought. What did you say?" "She asked you if you wanna stay in our inn during your visit in the Xuegong Village, I also want to learn more about you. You''re really strong after all!" "Yeah sure, I''ll gladly accept your proposal. By the way, is the Xuegong Village still far from there?" "Not really, if you keep following the river, then you''ll arrive in the Xuegong village after around fifteen minutes of walking." After fifteen minutes of walking following the flow of the river, the village''s entrance of the Xuegong Village could be seen several meters away from them. It was a small village similar to the Jiangsu Village. Passing through the bustling market with people doing their shopping here and there, an inn with a wooden big sign above the door''s entrance could be seen. "The Cai''s Family Inn" was written on the sign. Inside the inn, wooden chairs and tables filling the large room. Directing towards the counter, Cai Hong and her sister were welcomed by a beautiful black-haired woman in her earlier thirties. "Hong''er, Chen''er you finally came back! Your father and I were worried since you arrived later than expected." "Sorry mom, we were attacked by bandits during our trip, fortunately, we were saved by him." Noticing the brown-haired boy behind her daughters, the woman grabbed Yin Yun''s both hand while showing a charming smile filled with gratitude. "Thank you so much for saving my daughters. Our inn is not really luxurious, but we will give you one of our best room for free during your stay in the Xuegong Village. " "Please don''t mind too much, I just could not ignore the situation before me. Helping someone in troubles is common sense." Guided by Cai Hong, Yin Yun directed towards his room. Entering in his room, Yin Yun closed the door and sat on the bed. Looking at his surroundings, the room was three times larger than his bedroom back in the Jiangsu Village. Picking out the loots he dropped from the bandits, Yin Yun started to upgrade them. Several minutes later, he finished upgrading and enchanting the items. Most of the equipment that he upgraded from the bandits were the same stats as his equipment, either it was the leather-armored gears or the weapons, the only differences were the enchantment and the bonus effects given. Upon finishing upgrading and enchanting the last weapon that he looted from the bandits he defeated, his body was suddenly filled with a large amount of Soul Energy. It was both a pleasant yet painful feeling that made his body lighter, Yin Yun doesn''t know it yet, but his strength was now reaching the stage of the 1-Star Soul Warrior. Exceeding the total amount of 600 Soul Energy within his body, a notification popped into his head.
You have reached the minimum threshold required to learn the [Tiger''s series]!
Similar to the first time he learned the Legendary All Jobs Book, tons of information and images entered into Yin Yun''s brain. Looking at the wooden wall in front of him in deep thought, images of experts martial artists practicing strong martial techniques were parading before his eyes as if he was watching a movie. Just like this, Yin Yun learned the Tiger''s series! Chapter IV Chapter IV: Qian Zexi''s gang and the Xuegong Mountain
Even though Yin Yun learned the Tiger''s series through the memories of the martial expert artists, he didn''t have enough physical strength to use them. Imitating a fierce tiger''s fighting stance, the Tiger''s series required a huge amount of training and before they can be used properly. Not even mentioning the huge amount of energy required for each technique, Yin Yun knew that he''ll need more than several years of practices before he could use the techniques efficiently.Fortunately enough, he saw the training method from the martial expert artists and know what physical trainings he needed in order to learn them. Deep in thought, he was interrupted by a knocking sound coming from the door."Did I disturb you? Since the meal was ready, I brought it to you." In front of the door, Cai Hong was carrying a wooden tray with a plate of foods on it."Not at all, I was only meditating." Letting Cai Hong entering the room, she put the wooden tray on the low-table next to the bed before leaving the room in hurry. Looking at the wooden tray, Yin Yun swallowed his saliva. Excepted the single steamed bun that he ate during the day, he didn''t eat anything the whole day. The delicious smell of the grilled fish filled the room and slowly tempted him to eat it. Taking a bite of the grilled fish steak, despite the delicious smell, the taste was strangely horrible. Using his [Analyze], his brows suddenly frowned and he quickly understood the reason.
Item:
Grilled Fish Steak
Quality: Bad
Ingredients: Garlic, Oil, Salt, Vegetables, Fish
Improvement Requirement: 32 Soul Energy
''What the heck... How come the quality is bad with such a good smell coming from the food... Fortunately, I can improve the dish...'' ''Improve!'' Even though he could directly improve the food to the level 9 without making the food in front of him disappear, Yin Yun wanted to try out the difference in taste between the level 1 to the level 9 of food improvement. Taking out a small piece of grilled fish steak after improving it, the bad taste was still present after the improvement. The level of improvement of the food from the level 1 to the level 4 was eatable and became slightly better by each level. At least much better compared to the horrible taste he''d eaten when he first tried it without improvement. Between the level 4 to the level 6, the food became delicious, it felt like it was a totally different food eating in a luxurious restaurant.From the level 6 to the level 9, it became even more delicious to the point of him wanting another bite before improving it.Exceeding the level 10, the pleasant yet strange feeling he had when eating the hard-boiled egg back in the Jiangsu Village came back into his body.It was as if he was traveling to another imaginary world where different flavors of the foods were dancing around his body. The sweetness of the fish meat mixing with the taste of the fragrant taste of the garlic, the strong taste of the vegetables or even the quality of the oil that suddenly changed becoming a top-quality oil. Everything from the foods changed to a whole new level. It was literally a huge difference compared to the level 9 he just ate a few seconds ago. Filling his stomach after finishing the improved grilled fish steak to the level ten, Yin Yun decided to cultivate his Body Strengthening Technique for a few hours before going to sleep. ***** A week later... During this week, Yin Yun explored the whole forest between the Xuegong Village and the Jiangsu Village searching for medicinal herbs. Not only did he Gathered quite an amount of Medicinal Green Leaf, he also discovered a new species of grass.
Item:
Royal Magic Leaf
Grade: Low
Ingredients of: Alchemy, Soul Cultivating Pill
Crafting Requirement: 10 Soul Energy
Additional Bonus Effect Given After Eating: Increase the Endurance of the user of 10% for 30 minutes.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.The Royal Magic Leaf was a blue cyan magic leaf, an alchemy component used for the Soul Cultivation Pill. The Soul Cultivating Pill was a pill that increases the cultivation speed of the user by 10% for an entire day. Despite the fact that it can be used once a day, it was still an extremely good pill for Yin Yun. After discovering the Royal Magic Leaf, Yin Yun cultivated his Body Strengthening Technique every day while using the Soul Cultivating Pill, using the Soul Cultivating Pill once a day, he was now able to now use the Body Strengthening Technique for several hours without consuming too much Soul Energy. Apart from gathering medicinal herbs and cultivating his Body Strengthening Technique, Yin Yun also started the Tiger''s series and gained two techniques after a huge amount of efforts. One was the Tiger''s Palm, a technique that gathered his Soul Energy within his palm sending a strong energy wave towards its enemy. Using around one-tenth of his Soul Energy, it was a relatively strong technique that required a lot of Soul Energy. Not having fully mastered the Tiger''s Palm, it was only slightly stronger than a strengthened palm from his Body Strengthening Technique. Fused with the Tiger''s Palm, it was tremendously strong. The second Tiger''s series technique that he learned from the Tiger''s series was the Tiger''s Fist, similar to the Tiger''s Palm, it was a technique that gathered his Soul Energy around his fist unleashing an explosion of Soul Energy in front of him. Three times stronger than the Tiger''s Palm, it could only be used three times per day due to its huge Soul Energy consumption. Following a narrow path of the Xuegong Mountain, Yin Yun finally arrived at the top of the mountain after thirty minutes of walking. Today, Yin Yun was feeling confident enough to decimate Qian Xezi and his gang of thieves. After hearing from the villagers of the Xuegong Village that Qian Xezi kidnapped many of their relatives and was going to kill them tonight, he could no longer postpone his duty. Even though at first he just wanted to steal the treasures that Qian Xezi kept, now it was more the desire to save the villagers that motivated him to stop Qian Xezi and his gang. "This is the Qian Xezi''s hideout? It looks more like the castle of a king..." Sneakily approaching a castle surrounded by walls through the big rocks of the Xuegong Mountain, Yin Yun muttered. The castle was surrounded by large walls made by stones and was 3 meters high. The castle itself was even more imposing and was three times taller than the walls. Surrounding the walls, big rocks could be seen everywhere. ''There are only two bandits watching the castle''s entrance I should be able to take them down but the inside...'' Since Yin Yun doesn''t know how many bandits Qian Xezi led, he was worried that they could outnumber him and wondered how he could invade this huge castle by himself. "Counting Qian Xezi himself and those in front of the castle, they numbered up to a total of twenty-six bandits." Suddenly heard a voice next to him, Yin Yun became instantly cautious. Turning his head towards the direction of the voice, a blonde-haired young boy with blue eyes around the same age as him was looking at the castle while letting out a desperate sigh. From a closer look, the blonde-haired young boy had the same amount of Soul Energy as him. Feeling that he might even be stronger than him, Yin Yun took a fighting stance while retreating to another big rock. The blonde-haired boy who saw Yin Yun taking a fighting stance raised both of his hands explained showing him that he doesn''t want to fight at all. "Hey, I might be suspicious but I don''t plan to fight against you. I only came here to recuperate a precious item that Qian Xezi and his gang stole from me." Showing a wry smile on his face. The blonde-haired boy who saw that Yin Yun was still doubtful about him, he continued. "Besides, if I really was Qian Xezi''s lackey, do you really think that I''ll even bother talking to you? I could knock you out even before you noticed me right?" After hearing the boy''s explanation, Yin Yun let out a sigh of relief. "Sorry for doubting you. Not a lot of people are visiting the top of the Xuegong Mountain since they know that this is Qian Xezi''s hideout." It was true, his explanation was right and that this boy was probably not Qian Xezi''s lackey but Yin Yun was still cautious about him. "Haha, don''t worry about that. It was my fault in the first place to surprise you all of sudden." With an amused laugh, the boy''s eyes were examining Yin Yun. ''At the bottom of the 1-Star Soul Warrior huh, he should be able to compete with Qian Xezi.'' Falling in a deep thought, the blonde-haired boy proposed a plan to Yin Yun. "What do you think about attacking the castle during the night? During the day, there are too much of bandits guarding the castle. Attacking during the night when they lessened their guard is way easier and with the both of us it should work somehow." Expecting Yin Yun to accept his proposal, a surprised expression could be seen from the blonde-haired boy when he saw him shaking his head. "I can''t wait until tonight. The villagers prisoned inside the castle are going to get killed by the time we saved them." "Are you there to save the kidnapped villagers?" Such a question came out from the blonde-haired mouth. Seeing Yin Yun''s nod, he let out a depressing sight. ''I see... he''s that kind of guy...'' "Then forget it, you can attack the castle during the day if you want but I don''t want to help you to do a suicidal attack. I''ll just wait for tonight." Since Yin Yun didn''t want to compromise with his plan, he didn''t have any reason to help him to save the villagers either. Letting one or two villagers dying was better to die together with them. "I never asked for your help to save them either." Yin Yun intended to attack the castle alone in the first place, he didn''t want to let not even a single villager died and wait until tonight to reduce the number of bandits. Even though he doesn''t know when Qian Xezi planned to kill the villagers, he wants to save them as soon as possible. The blond-haired boy who already prepared to leave the place, he suddenly turned his head after noticing a huge amount of Soul Energy released behind him. Not even a few seconds passed since the blonde-haired boy lost the sight of Yin Yun but he already closed the distance between the two bandits and him with the help of his Body Strengthening Technique used on his feet. ''Wha©¤ He''s fast!'' Once Yin Yun was close enough to the two bandits, he concentrated his Soul Energy on his fist and©¤ *Boom* a huge explosion resounded in front of the castle''s entrance. Watching the scene that happened in front of him, a smirk appeared on the blonde-haired boy. "This might be more interesting to help this guy to save the villagers." After muttering that sentence, he slowly walked towards Yin Yun.
