《Thundering Dragon》


 Prologue title: The White Fall, the end and the beginning!

    Fu Lai Shan Mountain, a mountain in a star, that does not welcome any beings from the outside stars.


    This star is the home of the chosen protectors, today the lonely mountain was rumbling! Today it was breathing! Today it was alive!


    The mountain stretched for many kilometers into the sky, the peak was virtually hidden within clouds that formed of solid water. Giant boulders, mistaken for clouds would float in the sky. The boulders would occasionally make contact with the mountain, a piece of it would crack and hurl towards the main land.


    Actually this whole planet was a giant natural phenomenon! Each part of the planet was different. Some parts unceasingly, unending and unyielding thunder strikes! Another part with fierce flaming pillars rising from the ground to the sky.


    The more one looked at this place the more one would be shocked and scared. Mountains forming in an instant and exploding the next. Tsunamis, hurricanes and tempests forming in the blink of an eye, and in the next becoming a gentle breeze brushing past the mountain. This was a truly shocking world.


    Within the center of these natural phenomenons was a mountain, that mountain was Fu Lai Shan Mountain. More importantly, the phenomenons were ever changing. The only constant thing on this planet was this mountain.


    This world had its own laws and cycle, making it seem spectacular from the outside to watch this cycle. However, today it seemed like the cycle was going awry, the pillars of light would rise and come crashing down. Initially the moment they crashed they would continue growing in length and wider. The thunder strikes would descend down and strike all over the land the forming mountains would continue forming piling up into the sky. Eventually covering the world blocking out the sky, suns and the stars.


    Today it seemed the planet was being town apart from every corner.


    Atop Fu Lai Shan Mountain was a strange peak, the peak at the very crown of the mountain would split into twelve smaller peaks, each smaller peak looked ancient. The rock that formed the peaks, looked like it would crumble into dust at any given moment, yet it would not.


    Atop these peaks was five figures, each standing on their own respective peaks. These five figures would be standing in unison, four of these figures was positioned in a way that was a formation around the fifth figure. It looked like a formation to protect the fifth member.


    The fifth figure, standing in between the four was an aged man. This man stood like a pillar, every breath he drew made it seem like the mountain vibrated for a mere instant, felt the like the ground shook for miles and miles. The air escaped with each exhale, which would produce a slight whistle, but come rushing back with each inhale like a child rushing back to its parent at its beckoning. With each heartbeat, thunder would clash and explode in the air above.


    Stood in a protective formation of this aged man was four youths. Three boys and single female. They each stood their with a dignified aura. Although, around each of these youths an element was swirling about one could easily notice that the element swirling about was unstable.


    The element didn''t want to be controlled and wished to strike the youths if it had been presented with the possibility.


    The aged man slightly glanced at the youths, he above all could understand their control was limited. From afar this was still apparent. Even so the youths still dared to release their awakened elements.


    This was their conviction! Their final act in the face of death!


    The surroundings were completely black. Even so, one could see the brightly shining rampaging elements around the youths. Each youth had a different color surrounding them. Most apparent, was the lightning forking and snaking around the youth to the farthest right. He had black hair and black pupils a lean body. Eye blindingly light, striking around him was divine lightning!


    The lightning continued to travel around him and fork around his body and slither like a snake, it was impatient and continuously try to shoot off at each given time, yet it would come shrieking back to the youth who was sweating balls from his forehead clearly he was unable to last longer.


    Even though he couldn''t last longer he had already resolved himself to this fate, if all else would fail he would release this divine lightning beast and let it devour the oncoming enemy, even if it meant his own death!


    The remaining three youths were just as bad, the female had five blazing round balls that resembled a mini sun, swirling around her body. The fire that was circling around her body would occasionally rise and expand, similar to the pillars of fire. Yet this divine fire was still unable to break past a seemingly invisible barrier.


    The female had crimson hair and crimson lips with ruby colored eyes, her eyes was different it looked like the elemental fire was swirling in a circular motion within her pupils making anybody who looked into them, unconscionably unable to look away it was a mesmerizing scene.


    The remaining two youths looked the oldest but not by much, a particular youth who had the earth element forming around his body. The divine earth kept crawling up his body and accumulating like a mini spider, it would abruptly explode around different parts of his body.


    This youth was dark skinned, in the night he was almost invisible if it wasn''t for his milky white eyes and hair and if one never heard the rocky mountains exploding, crumbling and building around his body you wouldn''t be able to notice him in the dark. Just like the other youths his divine element wanted to escape just as bad, each explosion sounded like a volcano erupting, a planet colliding with another planet!


    These sounds alone would shock a mortal mans heart, if not kill him!


    The final youth had his eyes closed. It seemed this youth was the least submitting, it seemed like he was trying to control his element even in this predicament! He knew if he could, the situation would be turned and they wouldn''t have to fear the oncoming enemy!


    He even at this moment was unfaltering! However, as each moment passed he knew this wasn''t like before when he could train for as long as he wished and in the end being the most talented he would eventually have a breakthrough. However, with the enormous pressure bearing down on them he was losing the ability to make a breakthrough, also seemed like he was feeding his element more and more power which made it seem like it was going crazy, chaotic!


    Nobody would be able to approach him the slithering water surrounding his body was the most violent constantly whipping, spinning and slicing the air, creating a small vortex within the surrounding two meters of his body. This element was the most violent, but with a single glance from the aged man the element would quieten down, it would meekly retreat and continue eyeing the chance to escape.


    The youth had Silvery long hair which floated and landed around his shoulders with streaks of blue flowing through his hair, his skin was pale white and seemed like it would be bruised upon just touching it lightly. He had Silvery, blue pupils, when one looked into his eyes, it would make you feel like you was standing in a frozen domain standing off against a lone wolf. His eyes were extremely unnerving but one couldn''t help, but look at these eyes they were completely unique and not many people would posses such eyes. Truly stunning sight!


    Into the distance in the black, seven figures could be discerned from within the dark sheet, each of these figures resembled a human body but, was vastly different they looked demonic and demented each figure was emitting a faint dark Qi. The aura emitted from them, looked extremely dirty to the naked eye. One look at this aura would make one feel dirty and disgusted to the bone, within every cell and fiber of their body!


    Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    This dirty aura would unconsciously make disgusting and demented thoughts arise in your mind, it would make you think about doing things you subconsciously would never consider, staring at this aura for long, would result in your skin changing, your limbs distorting and eventually you would become extremely sinister, and slowly lose your humanity as well as human body to this Qi.


    The aged man would stare at these darting seven missiles enclosing towards the summit of the peak where they was currently located, he knew of the impending clash, but he looked extremely calm. The atmosphere was split into two by a seemingly thin invisible barrier one side would give of the feeling that it was calm, serene and nature was in harmony even with the natural phenomenons occurring in the background!


    The other side the atmosphere was chaotic, hard to breath hard to look through! With each passing moment this Qi lingered the animals, and plants in the vicinity of the deathly Qi would begin to distort, change with limbs sprouting and growing from different parts, horns and spikes erupting from their spines, and bones.


    The wildlife and plant life was evolving into demented beings at scary rate. Eventually, each wild life or plant life would hit a final evolution state and soon turn to look at their siblings or children and viewing them as meat. Their teeth had changed into razor sharp fangs, any living creature would begin to tear into anything with a pulse. Deers would begin biting their young-lings. Birds would peck at their newborn eggs. Wolves would begin shredding their own packs to bits..


    One look at the aged man would calm the maddest of men, the aged man glanced at the youths, stopping on each briefly. He whispered a few words to each one before he raised his right arm in a slow fashion, his palm was open. Before any of the youths had a chance to contest the aged mans hand came down slow. It seemed slow however it was strikingly fast like a comet hurling towards the center of the world.


    With the aged mans hand descending the air was ripping below his palm it seemed like the air was seized by him. It was like somebody dropped a huge pebble into a pond the rippling was visible to the naked eye! Behind his palm the wind buffeted, whirlwinds arose from nowhere and hurricanes began viciously spinning anything that came into contact would be shredded to pieces and return back to being dust. Storms had begun whipping about enveloping each of the youths, the storms immediately began to move off into the distance, each moving in different directions with unheard of speed.


    Within the cocoon tempests the elements raged and crashed against the wind wall but was unable to do anything. The element would strike the wall and dissipate without hindering the wind cocoon surrounding the youths. Muffled explosions, raging heat and screaming, shrieking  whipping sounds could be heard from each wind cocoon but from the outside it seemed like a hallucination if one couldn''t see the inside one would never believe that an element was striking against this wind cocoon.


    The aged man glanced at one particular wind cocoon moved his hand in a gesture, like he was calling it to him while he was smiling affectionately. He knew this would be the last time!


    He could see this youth, hurling lighting from each palm into the wind he was the only one left next to the aged man yet he seemed reluctant to send him away, but he was reminded that time was short.


    With the ever growing chaotic aura, that had soon began to contest and attack his, he knew he had run out of time. Before taking one long deep glance at the youths eyes he moved his hand towards his chest, his fingers landed just above his heart and a simple gesture he tore into his chest, and picked out a seed, the seed was reluctant to leave him it seemed. His skin was attaching itself to the seed for as long as it could, the seed had a will of its own trying to move back in but it was not strong enough to beat its master.


    The seed was extremely small, size of a nail yet it gave the feeling it wouldn''t be crushed under a mountain, it gave the feeling of boundless power and total control! But as soon as the seed had come out of the aged mans chest, the world began to shake, land began to split. The star, the mountain was began to crumble in on itself, from the outside it looked like gleaming white lights had began appearing on the planet.


    On the main land however pillars of light and fire began to grow at an alarming rate, they grew bigger and bigger, hotter and hotter, brighter and brighter! Mountains began erupting all over the world but wouldn''t begin to form they seemed to cease to end like the life force of the planet stopped! It gave up!


    The thunder would scream and screech! Thunder no longer moved in a single direction striking the ground, no! The thunder would rotate, spin and move in different directions sometimes shooting back into the atmosphere, the lightning became three times as big as soon as the lightning struck the ground, it was so hot the thunder had actually crystallized! Any animal that came into contact with the lightning would instantly turn to ash, the clouds began to rain and shockingly from above the clouds water boulders began to form and descend towards the planet. The rocks floating, orbiting around the star also began to invade the atmosphere due to the collapsing gravity and would soon crash into the planet destroying it completely.


    The aged man looked at the lightning wielding youth, he extended his hand into the wind cocoon where it would part to allow the man''s hand to pass through, like it was unworthy to touch his hand.


    The mans gentle yet imposing voice resounded out, calming the youth he quietly whispered "Lei, stop don''t waste your energy the divine lightning may consume you. Take my seed and ensure the chosen child ingests it before his coming of age. I have foreseen the future, the one to ingest my seed shouldn''t be alive during my time but nonetheless, if the prophecy can change so to can the chosen one. You must protect this person with all your power, and guide him towards the right path, for I will not be here to help him nor guide him this task, my son must fall on your shoulders and yours alone. Do you understand?"


    The youth had wanted to interrupt the aged man, but he found it extremely hard, his face had already began to flood with tears and he instinctively reached his hand out to accept the seed. He held it extremely carefully and would ensure that no harm would come to it.


    He held it to his bosom and began sobbing. Even if he wielded divine lightning, he was still a child at this moment, no person could stay calm. However, before he could say anything he was already miles away, all he could do was feel the planet destroying itself, as if it was trying to reset the world. He weakly said "Don''t worry father.. I won''t let you down, I promise!"


    The aged man just looked back, with a great big smile on his face, he could hear every single word and wished to linger in this moment a little longer. Looking at his son flying away he had so many regrets in his heart, but he couldn''t voice any of them. This was not the time!


    The aged man looked back at the incoming dark auras, and he just took a step, each step would be to his doom but these steps didn''t contain a weak will or regret instead, they contained hope and resolve! His gaze wasn''t like he was looking at evil or disgusting creatures, no! His gaze was pity he held the power but wasn''t able to avert these seven demons in front of him from becoming a great calamity.


    When the two auras clashed a great white blinding light emitted, anybody who looked at this light whether it be from this planet or another would instantly become blind, the light emitted was a dazzling milky white light that shined across all the galaxy that day.


    That day would become known as the white fall throughout the galaxy.

 Chapter 1: A boy and a slave

    Floating planet Y¨«n l¨®ng


    This tiny floating planet was located on the outer skirts of the galaxy. It isn''t a big planet, well it wouldn''t be able to compare to any of the inner planets but it was big enough to house millions of families, beasts and wildlife.


    The planet is and has always been naturally rich with minerals and raw materials, with green and violet forests as well as vegetation towering above the built cities, that had a canopy that allowed people to move about and live upon if they wished. With brown and blue land that had long ago detached itself from the mainland and floating above the ground in a similar fashion to steps, continuing to rise and float into the boundless milky orange sky.


    These floating islands looked majestic, from afar they looked like another country where people created homes and shops. It was extremely amazing because these lands would move about the whole planet. People who lived on top of them would be similar to nomads! However, some floating rocks had giant study brown, grey inky and orange roots visibly stretching from the mainland through the floating rocks to create stunningly beautiful scenery that would inspire painters and song writers from all over the planet.


    Waterfalls crashing into the mainland, also flowing slowly up to the sky. The scenery was filled with all different colors red, violet, green and blue it was a truly stunning floating planet.


    Within this floating planet was a large mansion, bigger than all the other mansions on the planet.


    This mansion was located at the tip of one huge hill. The mansion walls had dragons, snakes and tigers chiseled into the walls, trying to tell the viewer a story. It would tell each person a different story depending on their mood and perspective on life. The images looked like an embroidery on a piece of clothing, if one looked at this house, they would get the feeling of wealth and history.


    This was naturally, the controlling family''s mansion of the planet the Xuanze family. within the rear end of the courtyard, which was the kitchen area of the mansion a seemingly young youth could be seen walking out in a very calm manner. He seemed calm but he really wasn''t! Dressed in a milky silk robe which was buttoned perfectly to give of an esteemed air, and his combed sparkling hair he looked extremely smart and tidy.


    This youth had pitch black hair, and pitch black eyes he was walking out into the fields in a very calm and slow fashion. Right now he was frequently looking to his right and left, before he couldn''t stay calm no longer with both his small hands he grabbed the top half of his robe and with a ''pipipipipi'' he pulled the buttons apart, next he immediately threw his right hand into his hair and began to mess it up. Now he looked like anything but an esteemed wealthy boy, looked more like a gangster a rebel youth who wouldn''t listen to his seniors!


    As soon as he finished messing his hair he began picking up speed, sprinting to the nearby lake. There just past the starting of the lake, could be seen three more children. These children each waiting in anticipation for something, their eyes were glued to the horizons and two of the kids had snot in their noses leaking down.


    A few breaths of time had passed before a youth with black hair came sprinting towards the lake, they had seen him approach and began shouting in an unrestrained manner "Wenrou, boss what took you long. we have been here all morning, did the master make you clean the shitty toilets again!?" Wenrous face twitched the moment he heard shitty toilets.


    He was the leader of this group and had to sometimes mercilessly beat them up to make them remember, he just snickered at this. He couldn''t contest it but then he quickly rebutted it, he replied in a commanding fashion "I had to clean the toilets because your mom cooks shit food, which makes all the people in the house shit more!"


    The youth who shouted in an unrestrained manner, quickly began to look like he was pondering, thinking about the times he had to have shits after his moms meal, he looked like he understood what his boss had said. He quickly nodded in a simple fashion, accepting his bosses reply. This youth had short brown hair and was dressed in red shirt that came down to his waist, and beige silk pants, and simple black footwear. His name was Xuanze de pu ren.


    The youth standing on the far right looked contemplative to, with a face that was crumbled, he began remembering the times he had shit his bed and quickly began to blame his friends mom. This youth had ginger hair and freckles on his face, he had blue eyes, and even though he was just 8 years old he already had signs of a mustache growing! This would make him feel extremely proud, like he was further developed when he compared himself to the other kids. He too was dressed in red shirt, and beige pants with simple black shoes. His name was Xuanze xia ren 2.


    The most fragile looking youth was in the middle of these two, he seemed to have an aura of nobility around him. His clothes was far different to everybody''s made from much smoother silk and brighter red color that complemented his young skin. He looked extremely handsome in his tiny robe, looking exactly like a small leader.


    Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    This youth was called Jie Xialai de Xuanze.  Jie resembled Wenrou a lot. Actually Wenrou was his fathers mistresses son, whilst he was the main heads legitimate child. He was around about 2 years younger than Wenrou and seemed extremely happy the moment he seen Wenrous body come over the hill, and rushing down from the hill towards them.


    Even though Wenrou had the same blood coursing through their veins, they was vastly different! Wenrou was given nice clothes because he was the mistresses son, but at the end of the day he was still a slave! Nothing could change this fact, not all the good clothes in the world or even his facial features that looked like the main head of the family.


    The youths all gathered up outside of the still lake, the only thing that could be heard was the waterfall, the birds chirping, and the occasional wind howling.


    Wenrous voice came out extremely fast and overbearing as he neared the youths "Get in line you dogs! I am so close yet you don''t conduct yourselves like my subordinates!" he seemed discontent, no matter how much he tried to teach these kids to conduct themselves when they met at their military headquarters it seemed they would completely forget every time!


    The three younger youths all quickly moved and stood in an orderly fashion side by side, whilst Wenrou stood ahead of them with his hand on his chin walking from left to right.  He was currently assessing these youths.


    Wenrou could see they all had no dirt on their faces, they looked to be clean and gleaming from being extremely clean, to perfect to be in an army! Thought Wenrou, he quickly  knelt down and twisted his head to his left while both his hands had been positioned on his knees to support him, he turned and looked at each one. Before long all the three youths could hear was ''pu'' , ''pu'' , ''pu''.


    Three mid sized spit balls flew through the air and landed on to their faces, the youths standing, didn''t dare argue with their commander even if they felt extremely discontent. However, the youth in the middle looked like anything but discontent? His eyes gleamed with curiosity and before long voiced his thoughts "brother Wenrou, why thou bless us with holy spit water?" he looked curious as he began to rub the spit along his face, thinking it was a blessing from the heavens. He looked extremely happy.


    Wenrou just slightly gave them a fierce gaze, they had seen this look many times, each time they received this gaze they would have the shit kicked out of them for being insubordinate.


    Wenrou just slightly raised his head without changing his body posture, like he was to high to look directly down at these youths, he said in a simple yet smart fashion like he understood everything about this world, "you all have faces that are too clean, being to clean is naturally not good. You must add a bit of dirt to be perfect!" whilst he was speaking his left hand instinctively raised and was pointing into the air towards nothing, he sounded like what he was saying, was definitely true and must not be questioned.


    The other youths nodded in agreement, soon they to began spitting in each others faces without holding back, some spits would include a bit of snot and phlegm. Suddenly Jie spat in Wenrous face. Wenrou already in a kneeling position fell back because he tried to dodge the incoming spit, clearly he overestimated his reflex capabilities and was lying for a moment before he regained his composure he looked at the young boy and looked angry for a second but, soon his face turned red and he couldn''t hold back his laughter, and began laughing heartily.


    The youths spent the day climbing and fighting and pretending to be an invading army while they would catch bunny beasts, tamed foxes as well as harmless rats beasts and water spirits that lingered around the quiet lake. They looked extremely carefree and from a distance it seemed to these youths that everything good about the world was right in this lake at this very moment.


    It wasn''t night yet, but the youths all gradually returned back to the mansion, they all moved to their stations.


    Wenrou had climbed and leaped onto the mansions sloping roof. He looked at the 3 moons in the sky, while lying on his back. He stretched his left arm and hand into a gesture that seemed like he was trying to grab the moons, whilst he right hand was placed behind his head to provide some minor comfort. His gaze turned serious, he said to himself in an extremely serious manner "My name is Wenrou de Fengtou, I refuse to take the Xuanze name. One day, I will break this slave bond and be my own man! That day I will be a supreme warrior and travel the skies and reach the moons that are always looking down on me. Then I will show them, chaining people to slave names doesn''t make you any better! We are all equal!"

 Chapter 2: Future limited?

    Floating Planet Yin Long


    Yin Long planets biggest city was built within a scary deep crater. The crater is located near the center of the planet and is astronomically massive in size compared to anything else on the planet.


    With the crater being so deep, the city was built within with carefully constructed platforms and pathways and buildings to develop a flourishing city. From the bottom of the platform to the very tip of the crater has houses, shops and buildings, that are constructed on safe stone and study platforms that hinge of the sides of the crater walls providing them with enough support to ensure the buildings won''t end up buckling and collapsing of their own weight.


    The buildings and pathways were mainly constructed with grey and silver bricks and stone, with the roofs being in mainly red tiling. Every single building was the same color and looked like a milky red sea when one stopped at the top of the crater and looked directly down at the huge city.


    Past the city, climbing up the pathways leading to the exit at the tip of the crater, the land would start forming into mountains, hills.


    Atop one of the hills was the Xuanze family house. Within the main hall of the Xuanze estate was a middle aged man, he was wearing loosely fit white robes, had his hair unkempt floating and brushing past his face. This man was seated on a grand throne chair. The throne chair was made out of marble and had swirling patterns and an open dragon mouth chiseled on to the legs and the arm rests, whilst the cushions was made out of a velvet material. It was positioned on a small platform, with a few steps leading to it.


    This throne was at the other end of the hall, upon entering the hall one would notice the narrow velvet carpet, with gold patterns running through the carpet in a swirling design. This velvet carpet was leading from the entry door to the throne. The hall had many paintings hung up on either side and each painting was a painting of a mountain, or lake or a great dead beast with a man or man and wife standing closely in the picture. These were the previous family heads painted. There was many paintings. With one look anybody would know that this family, had a long lineage!


    On the throne chair was the current house head, who had black unkempt hair, black pupils and a light stubble. Across the man in a respective position with one hand behind him, and another in front just across his stomach stood an old man. The old man had grey hair, he didn''t have much but had a few left. He had a grey mustache and a shiny head wearing a red robe and black shoes, he smiled at the man on the throne and politely requested what the head wanted from him "My lord, you asked for me?"


    The man on the throne looked extremely lazy, with one foot on the throne bent and another stretched out, with his right hand holding his head up and left resting on his bent knee, he asked lazily, but also paying attention to his servant "Greyhound, how old is Wenrou this year? Has his seed been developed yet?"


    Greyhound heaved a sigh, how many times had he been asked this question? He looked up in a very slow and sad manner, he replied without to much delay with a courteous tone "No my lord, Wenrou.. it seems he won''t have a future in protecting the world and won''t move to a higher position in his life. His elemental seed has not been developed since birth, even if it isn''t rare for some peoples to develop later, by the time they are at least three years old, they would have an elemental seed or at least signs of an elemental seed growing. However, Wenrou my lord is already 8 years old and hasn''t had any signs. It is better to give up this notion."


    Greyhound tilted his head back down, he knew how much his lordship wanted Wenrou to have the ability to move into a higher station in life. Even if he couldn''t become the main head in the future, he was still his kid and wouldn''t wish for him to stay a bitter slave his whole life on this tiny planet.


    Greyhound, quickly continued his speech, which caught the attention of the lord, he knew exactly what to say to his dispirited lord "My lord, even if Wenrou doesn''t develop a seed and naturally he will never, because it is unheard of. The young lord is extremely talented. He already had developed his seed in his mothers womb! In these lands, no! This whole galaxy, that is extremely talented. The quicker one develops their seed the more power it will accumulate. The young lord is extremely talented he has two seeds! The ability to control two elements is extremely rare!"


    The lord suddenly had a flicker in his eyes, he still sighed because he wished for Wenrou to truly become a fighter, but if nothing could be done he would still care and provide for him on the Yin Long planet.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    The lord rose to his feet, lifting himself of the throne with his arms and hands and the mini platform the throne was situated on. He steadily moved to the balcony of the main hall and looked out to the far galaxy, he murmured to himself "I, Toulan Xuanze have fostered such a child, one day he will rise to prominence, naturally this planet will become to small for him." at that very moment, Toulan looked extremely contemplative.. he sighed deeply while looking down at the vast fields and shaking his head slowly, almost feeling regret he never had the chance, nor courage to leave this planet. He was not talented like his son, so naturally he couldn''t venture to other planets and become a hero.


    This was a regret for most males and females who didn''t have the power and ability to venture from planet to planet.


    Toulan immediately turned his gaze towards the main hall, he slowly walked in with both his hands in his robe pockets, with his head tilted towards the floor looking at the specs of black in the marble floor.


    He looked like he was pondering, he asked greyhound in a sharp and excited tone "Greyhound! What school should we send Jie to? This planet has a few schools, but we must choose the best. We always go to school gatherings to watch schools students demonstrate their prowess and techniques but we never pay attention to who the best is, after all our family is mainly a merchant family we never pay attention to such matters in detail.." He looked back up at Greyhound with wide eyes.


    Greyhound looked up at this moment, he to pondered momentarily but immediately replied, he also looked excited "My lord! There is three schools, that are worth mentioning in this whole planet. The Zh¨¦ ch¨¬ de q¨«zh¨°ngj¨© school, Hu¨¯h¨®ng de qu¨¢nt¨®u school and finally the Ti¨¡nd¨¬ school. The Tiandi school is the most mysterious school, it only takes on one disciple every year and only has one master within that whole school. The other two are extremely secluded as well, but they take on many more disciples. I greyhound personally think the Zhe Chi school is the best for the young lord to be admitted to!" With each word, it seemed like greyhound was extremely excited, his voice kept rising and rising until people in the fields could hear him slightly.


    Toulan looked out to the balcony and replied to greyhound "Alright, Jie is already six years old, in a few months he will be seven years old. It is required age for the body to begin training and understanding his elemental power within his body. Make preparations for Jie to undertake the test, to gain entry in the upcoming school acceptance day." Toulans gaze didn''t shift from the balcony overlooking the crater city and the fields below his mansion.. nobody knew what he was thinking at this moment, except he looked extremely proud.


    Right at this moment, Wenrou could be seen moving speedily through the fields. Toulan had noticed him and looked a little bit sad, he thought to himself "It will crush him, if he knows I won''t be sending him with his brother to a school to train. He has never understood why a seed is important, and naturally being a child he overlooks a few things. However, it is best if I pull the grass by its roots and destroy his way of thinking. If this continues he will just ridicule himself in front of the city.. how many kids are born without a seed being developed? I have never heard of such a thing, but without a seed, his body won''t develop as fast. nor strong as somebody developing and training alongside their elemental seed"


    Touland moved his left hand to scratch his stubble, continued to think to himself "I will make him hate me, but that is better than him being laughed at by the city in the upcoming acceptance day. When that happens, it would crush a normal mans will, maybe they will change completely for the worse. This way he will keep his pride and live out a comfortable life in the mansion."


    He couldn''t help but feel a little sad every time he remembered Wenrous predicament, he knew how much he wished to leave this planet and travel the galaxy adventuring, fighting monsters and beasts, but what can he do? Fate wasn''t always kind, and he was chained to such a horrible fate not even being normal not even having any kind of seed growing in his body? What kind of fate was that?


    Wenrou at this sudden moment felt a cold chill rush along his neck and backside, he instinctively looked back at the mansion where he could see his father gazing at him. He just looked back, unknowing why, but he felt like something was off.. after a few short breaths, he quickly tossed it to the back of his mind and continued to do whatever he was doing before.

 Chapter 3: Begging fate! Breaking fate! Part 1

    floating planet Yin Long within the main hall of the Xuanze mansion throne room


    Seated in a serious manner was the current head of the Xuanze family, Toulan Xuanze.


    His eyes narrow, his demeanor cold he was faintly emitting a cold qi that had begun seeping into the atmosphere of the main hall. He looked extremely ruthless, coupled with his pitch black hair and black olive eyes, right now he looked like anything but a merchant.


    Across the throne was two young boys, one was Wenrou and the other was Jie.


    Wenrou to the right and Jie to his left, Wenrou held his head low, looking at the marble floor. Unbeknownst to Wenrou he had developed a father complex since he was young. This came about the time shortly after he found out he had no seed. Wenrou was unable to look his father in the eye for more than a few breaths at a time, this was brought about by his inferiority complex which resulted in a father complex. He especially knew how proud his father was of Jie, a talented boy since birth. How could he compare in the future?


    Even though Wenrou never took peoples heed about how weak he will be without a seed, however that was just a front, Wenrou wasn''t soft.. he knew of these things. He just never came to terms with them! He didn''t want to!


    To the left of Wenrou was Jie, he as always looked extremely excited and happy, with his head constantly bopping up and down. He knew whenever his father had called him and Wenrou together to the main hall usually ended up in receiving gifts, or money to go spend in the city with their friends.


    Jie was still a child, he was unable to read the atmosphere in the room, how could he perceive such cold detached atmosphere that had long lingered in this room since entering?


    Behind the boys was greyhound, he too had his head tilted down with his eyes closed soaking in the atmosphere and coming to terms with what must be done. Greyhound is an old man breaking a child''s heart, blowing up their bubble, would make any man regardless of age feel disgusted in themselves. It was a very distinct type of pain in his heart, a pain that wouldn''t leave for a long time.


    Greyhound, whose tutored these kids, looked after them since birth, protected them he would have to bury his heart in ice today, he would have to do what must be done. As he thought about this he would clench his jaw tighter and tighter!


    Toulans gaze lingered around Wenrou for a brief moment, he had noticed long ago that Wenrou had never looked him into his eyes he would always avert gazes as soon as possible. Sometimes when Toulan would engage in conversation with Wenrou randomly to get him to talk to him, Wenrou would subconsciously move to a different part of the room, or to a different room and finish speaking before disappearing. Noticing all this, Toulan had come to assumption that Wenrou had hated him for as long as he could remember, but he later realized with the deductive prowess of Greyhound that Wenrou slightly felt inferiority, he felt unworthy of having Toulan as a father, or being related in anyway.


    Toulan was the first to break the silence by speaking. First Toulan turned his gaze towards Jie and occasionally on greyhound, he begun stating facts in a continuous manner without leaving room for anybody to object or speak "Jie, you are almost seven years old. The school acceptance day is drawing close, do you wish to become a supreme warrior a warrior able to wield the wild elements and Qi, arm yourself with a sharp blade and companions and protect the conclave of planets from the ever growing calamity?"


    The sudden emergence of the words "acceptance day" made Wenrou clench his right fist extremely tight, his slight nails had broke the skin of the palm, digging in a little. Greyhound to the rear turned his head towards Wenrou, he could smell the faint blood running along Wenrous finger he knew today''s outcome was going to leave a heavy atmosphere in the mansion, it would leave the head with an extremely heavy heart after today.

    Jie looked shocked and amazed for a moment. Jie was never really told about his talent, so he had no idea he looked incomparably happy his body almost jumped at the words his father produced. his eyes began to glitter brighter and brighter, his mouth unexpectedly grew to half the size of his face right now you could see all his teeth, tongue and tonsils clearly!


    Toulan seeing this expressions smiled slightly, he thought to himself that this child is pure, his mother would be extremely proud and happy if she could see Jie right now.


    Toulan reverted his gaze back to being ruthless, he looked at the bopping head of Jie and added quickly "Jie you know your mother died giving birth to you, she had been injured before the due date of your birth had been reached, which in return resulted in an early birth."


    Jie upon hearing these sudden words, his face slightly dimmed some of the earlier bright face had become a little sullen he too slowly dropped his head like it was drifting in wind and looked at the floor.


    Jie could only see a dark silhouette in the marble floor, and he didn''t understand what he was thinking at that moment, too much was rushing through his brain, he had a hint of watery eyes. He slowly lifted his head. He stared directly at his father ready to listen to more. He resolved himself to listen to it all.


    Toulan laid back onto the throne, whilst reminiscing about the past he continued in a slightly quieter tone "your mother and I knew at that time that there was not much to be done, it would either be her or your life that would disappear on that evening. But you know Jie? Your mother is an extremely strong women. Before the Doctor had presented her with the choice she had already cried your name, and begged for you to be saved at any cost.. She was the best thing that happened to me, we were both lucky to have her in our lives."


    Wenrou off to the side could see his brother sad, he was on the verge of crying his eyes were watery bubbles. Wenrou wanted to console him, but when he opened his mouth he didn''t know what words to say in such a situation.. he just closed his mouth and continued listening.


    Toulan leaned forward at this moment, with both his elbows on his thigh and both his rugged hands in the form of a fist holding his head up from below his chin, it seemed he couldn''t keep his serious manner for too long, this was his limit!


    Greyhound seeing this sighed inwardly, these two sons took after their father they just played all day, never taking an interest in the family business and responsibilities.


    Toulans voice started of a little weak, but quickly regained his earlier strength with a slight cough "Jie you have good talent, actually you are extremely talented but this talent came at the cost of your mothers life. If you decide to become a warrior, you must unceasingly train, because your do not carry just your will, you carry your mothers as well!"


    Right at this moment both greyhound, and Toulan wanted to see the resolution of this young boy. Determination and resolve would go a long way in aiding him with his cultivation and abilities.


    Jie looked up, unable to comprehend most of his fathers words, his forehead had creased slightly and his eyes slanted, he clearly was trying to understand his fathers words.


    It didn''t take long before this pure child came to a conclusion "Father, I will do my best for my mother and me" whilst throwing his right fist towards his left shoulder, and looking into the ceiling of the main hall. Clearly this action was brought about by the heat of the moment, he had lost himself in thought as he was imaging himself as a hero saving the lands, he was looking at something only he could see, what that was nobody would know!

 Chapter 4: Begging Fate! Breaking Fate! Part 2

    Toulan shouted at the top of his lungs, whilst standing up abruptly with a wondrous gaze "Good, Good little warrior! Now follow Greyhound he will begin your premature training to prepare you ahead of all the other little friends that will participate alongside you!" Toulan gave Greyhound a slight nod.


    Greyhound understanding the situation, moved to the right side of Jie, placing his right hand across Jie backside. Jie was such a cute and small child that Greyhounds hand covered all of his back. He then started to slightly push, urging him to start moving.


    Jie feeling the hand understood what it meant, he turned around and began moving to the exit of the main hall. however, he noticed that Wenrou stayed behind and kept his head down. He looked a little confused now, but Jie was just a child he didn''t notice earlier that his dad didn''t mention Wenrou once. He''s just a kid, how could he pickup on such things?


    Jie moving slightly slowed down, the further he went the sadder his brother looked from behind. His heart started to ache slightly, he stopped! However, Greyhounds hands kept pushing gently urging him to continue to the exit, but he turned around lighting fast with a scrumpled face like he was dissatisfied with Greyhounds actions and shouted, his shout was so loud that it turned into a scream at the end "stOP!"


    Greyhound hearing this was slightly startled, but he closed his eyes and continued to push with a bit more force. Jie feeling this was now beginning to understand the situation, he felt his heart pound, he could hear the noise ''bump'' .. ''bump'' .. ''bump'' the main hall was deathly silent. You could hear a pin drop on the ground within this huge hall.


    Wenrou just wanted to be dismissed, he hated being the center of attention he knew the gazes of Jie and Greyhound was lingering on his backside he knew his brother was going to get the best treatment, and he didn''t wish to stand in his way. But he looked up at that moment and asked his father solemnly "Can I be dismissed lord?"


    Toulan looked at him without a hint a love "No. You will not. You will stay by my side and in this house and you will take on more duties around the mansion and learn the family business"


    Wenrous heart began racing at this instant, his throat went extremely dry extremely fast! He had to gather saliva and gulp a few times before he could even start thinking clearly, his forehead had small drops of sweat accumulating, his face pale. He slightly raised his head and continued to speak "I don''t want to learn the family business, I don''t want anything to do with this mansion I wish to do greater things with my life" Wenrous voice started of really weak, it was hoarse at the start and just barely slightly regained his usual voice at the end. He was confronting his father for the first time! Would he be able to? What was this feeling in his heart, in his body?


    Toulan already standing up moved his hands behind his back and held one hand in a fist whilst the other was wrapped around it. He took a few steps towards Wenrou, releasing his aura as he was walking down the platform the throne was placed upon, whilst speaking extremely sharp and strict "No. You have no talent to become a warrior. You will be useless, you will just hold back Jie. You are lucky to be in this mansion, if it was any other mansion you would have already been treated lower than a dog."


    Wenrou started sweating profusely, he raised his head but didn''t look his father in the eye he was looking at his fathers chin. He knew if he didn''t say anything now he would regret it for the rest of his life! His face was already turning red his heart pounding, his fist clenched even tighter, he bit his tongue and said without any regard to servant or lord title whilst swinging both his hands out in a confused manner "Lord I never wished to be treated any differently, I never asked for anything yet everything was given to me. Tell me one time did I ever ask for anything? Did I wish to be treated differently or be given anything?! Tell me Lord!"


    His voice starting off aggressive and maintaining his firm stand it was like he was fighting with his enemy, like he never liked this person standing in front of him. However, this was fiercer there was a deep wound in there somewhere that caused this speech to become sharper than it should have been. Wenrou knew the situation had already gone past no return, like an arrow shot out of the bow. He could do nothing but just continue biting his tongue and think of a way to leave this mansion.


    Toulan looked unhappy right now. His son dare defy his order? He should just grow up and understand he has no future as a warrior, just take this moment to come to terms but Wenrou was still defying him? What a stupid kid he thought to himself.


    Toulan expanded his cold aura, enveloping Wenrou and resolved himself to kick this kid down to the same level as a dog "Wenrou, you think just because you are carrying the same blood as me, you can speak to me in such a manner? You are lower than a dog, you are worthless person, you can''t even do half the tasks kids your age. You run around all day thinking you are equal to everyone else. But you know something? You are not, and I could make many more Wenrous with your whore mother that would be much more valuable than you. You have nothing to contribute to this family, yet you still think you do? Grow up you bastard"

    These words came out extremely overbearing and fierce, each word was like a crushing mountain, but when Toulan said your "whore mother" this was like he had picked up a sword and chopped of his limbs one by one, then plunged the sword into his heart. He had a hint of watery eyes, and a fierce gaze he was unmoving even when his father was so close, this time he was looking his father in the eyes. He couldn''t say anything at that moment except think to himself "this man is a lowlife, just because he is rich and had fathered me he thinks he can act as a father and decide my future?"


    Even though Wenrou thought like this, naturally he was wrong. Toulan seeing Wenrous fierce gaze was slightly startled, his heart beat became erratic for an instant he thought to himself "This fierce, unyielding gaze? Where did it come from?" It took a moment to control his body, and calm his heart. He returned Wenrous gaze, looking directly at him.


    Wenrou didn''t understand, that Toulan was also killing himself with each word, this was his son he never thought like this at all but he needed his son to wake up! What was wrong with becoming a merchant and working with him? It wouldn''t be so bad, yes it would be simple and less adventurous than a warrior but it would still be a providing job, a job that would produce a good man. But Wenrou was blinded by his ambition to become a warrior.


    Wenrou, seeing his father so close, the overbearing aura flowing out and crushing him he clenched his teeth and fists harder, he began shouting at his father, whilst swinging his right arm in front of him, whilst pointing like it was some sort of protective barrier. "I don''t wish to be your son and I don''t wish to live my life out here under this roof. Even if I never become a warrior, I don''t want to be in the same place as you!" Toulan hearing these words turned his head to the right, his right eye had a tiny tear flowing out of it.


    These words were striking him beneath the skin, they hurt him really deep!


    Toulan standing firm with his head turned away thought to himself "Does he hate me this much? What have I done to make him hate me like this?"


    Wenrou standing in a fixed position, unable to change however much he tried. It was like he turned to stone right then and there! He wasn''t able to move his right hand, that was pointing at his father and his two feet standing firm like it was planted into the solid ground. He took a deep breath, with each following breath he regained control of his body bit by bit.  He looked back only to see Greyhound slightly crying and Jie bawling, with water floods rushing down his face, snot hanging out his nose and he was on the floor with his small body crouched into a ball


    For that few moments it seemed nothing in the room was audible except Toulan and Wenrous argument, only when Wenrou turned around did the room return back to the world, the background noises came flooding back in like a tidal wave. The birds chirping, the wind howling and so did Jies crying. Wenrou felt like little pins began stabbing at his eyes for seeing this scene.


    Toulan raised his head, it seemed he just now noticed Jie crying as well, he shouted angrily "GREYHOUND WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE? YOU OLD FOOL TAKE HIM AWAY NOW!"


    Greyhound picked Jie up by the waist, there was no other way to pick him up he was crouched into a ball. He took Jie and moved to the exit, in a few short breaths he swiftly left the room, leaving the heavy atmosphere behind. When Greyhound turned around to look back it seemed like the room had another dense atmosphere so thick and heavy it could be seen with the naked eye.


    Wenrou took to action as well, seeing his brother moving away so fast he didn''t know what he was thinking except, he had to go maybe having Jie and Greyhound in the same room provided him with strength to stand up to his father, except now he felt his body turning cold this was a point of no return, he too slightly began to cry he began rushing to the exit.


    Toulan seeing this looked up, feeling his son moving away, left him with a cold pain in his heart, he just wanted to say a few things more "Wenrou.. I.." Wenrou had already left the room. Not wanting to listen to his fathers words anymore. He directly left the mansion and began heading to the south.


    Toulan stood there, unable to move. He was thinking of what happened mere moments ago, again and again and how he could have handled it to bear a different outcome. He kept thinking it was his own fault, and kept thinking what he could have done for a different outcome. His left land kept scratching his head above his left eye in a circular motion while his palm would scrape past his left eye, didn''t seem like he was going to stop any time soon and his right hand was just resting on his chest feeling his unending heartbeats, within this quiet hall his heartbeats were like drums being played. He just stood there silently..

 Chapter 5: Begging Fate! Breaking Fate! Part 3 Arc End

    Wenrou had been on full gallop since he rushed out of the mansion, running crazily, like a black mucus was chasing him, and if he stopped for one second it would instantly absorb him!


    There was only one thought racing through his mind, at the moment and that was I need to get away, but he wasn''t thinking get away to where? He was just running, it seemed his body knew where he wanted to go even if he didn''t, and so he just kept going. Wenrou never felt the tree vines whipping his arms, or the tree roots and plants cracking and snapping beneath his full gallop. He just kept going, looking in one direction forward without caring about his body.


    He didn''t realize but he had been running for a full day and night, and he had come to the end of his will and energy to run. The moment he gathered his thoughts and slowed down a bit, a pulsating pain kicked into his legs, it was the moment he slowed down, that was his stop!


    He crashed into the ground knees first, followed by his upper body which he had managed to protect even with the unbearable pain in his legs, his muscles felt like they were ripping and tearing with each action. The pain wasn''t just in his legs no! There was pain all over his body, except the pain in his legs was eclipsing all the other pinching, biting, and shredding pains but the moment he moved any part of his body he would feel that pain streak across, which would result in him howling "aarrrggggghhhhhhh!"*cough, cough*. These coughs where like directly from the back of his throat they hurt so much, like the skin inside his throat was peeling of slowly, for that brief moment after every cough he wouldn''t be able to handle the pain. Wenrou started crying and sobbing like he had never before in his whole life! Like a newborn baby!


    No animal would approach the spot Wenrou was laying in, these howls had terrified the animals to escape to a distance of at least five miles radius.


    Not knowing where he had run, and what he would do, Wenrou just laid there in the pain, on his back. What other choice did he have?


    He could only think that this was his destiny, maybe he deserved this pain for speaking to his father in such a manner? Maybe this is the pain he deserved for leaving Jie behind? Maybe this was the pain he deserved for being born into this life as trash? He couldn''t come to a conclusion all he knew was how he could never go back, and could only look to what was in front of him.  Snot flowing down his nose, and into his mouth, water floods from his eyes. Sweat soaked clothes and muddy stains on his robes and face, he couldn''t even see properly nor breath properly!


    He just wished the pain would stop from the bottom of his heart, this was his only wish. He closed his eyes, even though it caused him so much pain, he knew he wouldn''t be able to open them again for the time being because it would hurt more than closing them! Just like that he slowly fell asleep...


    -----------------


    Greyhound running out of the mansion was going to head for a summit near the mansion. It was a secluded summit near the edges of the Crater city, it was surrounded by trees and vegetation and wild life. Mainly birds would sit on the trees and sing without any signs of stopping from sunrise to sunset, it was a sort of safe haven for birds, most of the people in the city wouldn''t bother the birds that lived here and that was because in the morning the birds would sing waking up the city to a cheerful melody that was carried by the wind across the whole city.


    Greyhound moving through the forest and heading up to the summit, pushing his way through the massive branches and leaves with his right hand, could feel a slight pain on his left palm, he rotated his head and turned to look at what was causing the pain only to see Jie who had dried tears on his cheeks and disheveled hair biting his palm. Jie had no energy at all it seemed, and this bite was the last bit of strength he could muster up, before his body had shut down and he had fallen asleep. This sort of stress wasn''t good for a kid, to hard and heavy on his mental state.


    Greyhound seeing Jie in such a state could only have the ice around his heart melt, it seemed to an old man this was a pain he didn''t wish to see. He made his way to the summit only to move into a meditative state, with Jie on his lap crouched into a ball sleeping, but his jaw didn''t unclench Greyhounds hand! His final action, before his sleep seemed to contain all his resolve and will that even in sleep he wasn''t going to let go.


    Greyhound, looking at the state of Jie, just closed his eyes and circulated his Qi, quickly expanding it from his meridians, to envelop Jie and nourish his body to ensure he wouldn''t feel cold. He was soaked in sweat and tears, and if not protected as such would have a cold when he wakes up.


    Greyhound after finishing his Qi circulation, closed his eyes slowly and entered a meditative trance it was a sort sleep where he was aware of his surroundings, if anybody entered his Qi radius he would immediately feel their presence and take a defensive stance.


    The birds in the trees were all smart animals, even some where birds that had managed to awaken their Qi and had some sort of degree of intellect. These birds could clearly see the sad state the child and old man was in, they had felt such pain and sorrow in the child biting the mans hand that their singing was effected by it. The tune they was playing was one of pain and sorrow, the whole city felt slightly depressed for that whole night.


    It seemed with that song, coupled with the starry night sky that was pitch black with shining dots with streaks of orange flowing through that for that particular night, the world seemed less brighter, less vibrant and real like something was effecting their souls, like some sort of invisible sheet or layer was between them and the real world causing them to feel nervous in their hearts but nobody was able to figure out why.


    ----------------


    It was morning, almost the afternoon and Wenrou just barely managed to open his eyes halfway. His eye lids felt so heavy like bricks and blocks were attached to the ends. He was struggling to fully open them, as soon as he got to halfway they would just fall back down and close, like an automatic response of his body telling him he wasn''t ready to move yet.


    So he just laid there again helplessly, feeling the wind brush up onto his nose and arms making him feel itchy, but he wasn''t able to itch it away! It took another half a day to finally release himself from this restrictive bind over his body, he managed to break his unmovable state with his right hand, it took a few breaths to gain miniscule control of his right hand. He moved his right hand towards his face, but he wasn''t able to control his arm fully *WHAP" his hand landed on his face like a slap, the slap brought a sudden emergence, a moment where he woke and managed to coordinate his fingers to lift his eyelids open.


    The sudden action of opening his eyes made the sun seem even more brighter, and glaring his whole body stiff he used his body to slowly crawl bit-by-bit. Slowly starting from his shoulders then his arms and elbows and finally his legs to move to a tree and use the tree as a support to help him get back to his feet. This all takes a moment to describe but took a long time to accomplish for Wenrou.

    Looking around he didn''t quite know where he was, it took a moment to collect his thoughts and understand he had reached the Xiajing waterfall.


    There was a boundary separation where the upper class would live, and the where the lower class would live in Yin Long planet, and this waterfall was the landmark peopled accepted as the boundary between both parts of the planet.


    The upper class where merchants, martial artists of the best kind and developed society whereas the lower half of the city was laborers, and manufactures and botanists. Their jobs was to build homes, plant food and vegetation, manufacture weapons, tools and equipment to provide for the major cities.


    Of course the lower half was paid decent amount of wages, but not close to the upper class. The lower class being so abundant and so many workers competing made it so the upper class only paid a fraction of what they would earn through profits, the lower class even though they wasn''t staving, they also wasn''t living a rich life either. They wold work 5 days a week minimum, either spend the final 2 days working again or spending time with their family.


    Wenrou managed to climb to the top of the waterfall with all the power in his body, each action would cause a slight acute pain to spark, and over time the pains would annoy the hell out of him that he just didn''t want to move anymore. It was better to stay still! He was sitting on a rock at the edge of the start of the waterfall, and knew that if he just let the waterfall carry his body the current would take him directly to the lower half of the planet.


    The only problem with this plan, was that his body was in to much pain, and if at the bottom of the waterfall he wasn''t able to swim back to the sides the current would surely take him and drown him.


    He decided to wait a whole day again, and took this moment to come to terms with what happened.


    He didn''t know how and why he ran to this waterfall, he thought that maybe he too believed he was trash and that the lower half was the only place he would fit. He truly didn''t know, but when he thought like that his heart would pump a bit faster, he would begin to slightly sweat and think was this truly all he would amount to? Is that mans words true?


    It would take a moment to calm his heart, every time he thought like that he looked back at the direction he ran from and just said to himself in a consolingly manner "It''s better to live as free trash, than trash chained to a master like a dog on a leash"


    Some people would rather live like a dog on leash than be free. Even if being free meant to be poor and live out your days working for most of your life this to Wenrou, was better than living a happy life and pretending everything is fine. To Wenrou, this was his way of thinking, maybe he just hated his father so much that this was the only conclusion he could come to. Because what his father said was true, to any other rich family he was really trash and had it good in the Xuanze mansion.


    One day later.--


    Wenrou got back up with his energy partially returned, he was starving and still in pain, but that wasn''t going to stop him no! Not when he is so close to breaking his fate!


    He was able to jump to a small rock platform in the middle of the waterfall, it looked extremely weak at first, it looked like if any weight was pressed onto it, it would crumble and get dragged away in the current. However, Wenrou didn''t hesitate he thought to himself that if this small island has managed to resist for this long it must be a strong piece of rock. It sort of makes sense right?


    Wenrou landed and almost slid and fell on his bottom, the waterfall flowing past the rock made it all slippery and it took a moment for Wenrou to balance himself with the use of his feet and his arms, he just took a small peak at the bottom of the waterfall. This waterfall symbolized him breaking his fate, all he had to do was just jump and he would make his own fate in the lower half of the city! The moment he looked down however...


    "......!!"


    "Fuck, what the hell man, what the hell! It''s so long to the bottom!"


    The waterfall looked frightening from the top, with steam blowing up created from the violent turbulence of the waterfall hitting the lake at the bottom gave a majestic feeling, like small clouds floating around the waterfall.


    Wenrou just looked around his balls shriveled up the instant he looked down, this waterfall would make most men with big balls to suddenly have small balls. As Wenrou was looking around for a smarter plan to get down, it seemed he could only climb down on the vegetation overhanging and massive trees dark green roots from the forest reaching all the way to the bottom. The tree roots wrapped, and coiled around the waterfall like a dark green serpent it seemed as if it would never let this waterfall go anywhere.


    This forest was a part of the waterfall, and this waterfall apart of this forest. They would not be willing to part!


    A slight grin on Wenrous face, but then he cursed in his heart! "Even smiling hurts so fucking much! This stupid forest and this ugly waterfall are annoying I never wish to see these stupid trees again in my life!"


    Looking for a way to jump back to a safe ground, he crouched into a position to get ready to pounce at the edge, with his bum sticking out, his head low and his hands into a motion like it was a grapple he was going to make sure he wouldn''t get taken away by the current!


    For a brief moment a slight crack was heard! Followed by more smaller cracks Cack, cack cack! more cracks appeared, from no where this little platform was breaking apart, crumbling! Wenrou feeling these cracks looked down disbelievingly was his luck so bad? All he could think was "FUCK MY LIFE!"


    "AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.." The shrill scream lasted for a brief moment before disappearing into the white mist, it seemed the waterfall was back to how it was, calm and serene nothing out of the ordinary. The forest looked slightly happier, the lush green leaves and purple berries and vegetation swaying in the light breeze, seemed to be cleansed of trash. Did this forest hear Wenrous thoughts? Was the forest responsible for the platform crumbling? Who could know? All he could do was curse his own luck.


    As Wenrou was falling he could feel his insides floating it was a truly weird feeling sort of how he would feel when he was sick. It took a moment for him to hit the lake, the moment he entered, the violent current swirling about, the force of the waterfall overhead crashing into the lake like a massive boulder continuously crashing, made him feel dizzy.


    Unable to control his body tossing and turning underwater. He could only close his eyes and hold his breath wait for the moment the current died down to swim to shore. But what was this? He felt himself hit a moving object? But in this lake this close to shore, and this shallow and narrow, sea creatures usually don''t appear here. Certainly not at the size he just hit!


    But he didn''t have time to think about that. He could only use this object that stopped his momentum to swim to the edge of this narrow stream, but he overestimated his capabilities he just felt his mind go fuzzy, then blank! He lost consciousness!

    "Hey! Wake up!" Wenrou hearing this slightly woke up, he could feel light sting building up on his cheeks unable to comprehend the situation at all. Right now, all he could do was to sit up and look around to only discover a young girl, her hand in a eager manner ready to slap him again, if he never woke up. He sucked in a cold breath the moment he saw her. She was pretty, to pretty! And so close to him! He forgot about his burning cheeks. He moved his head back a little to create distance between him and her.


    Looking at her he didn''t understand, but he continued to stare blankly at her, unable to look away. She had silvery blonde hair, deep green jade like eyes and pink lips and healthy pink skin, with a small nose, and ears hidden behind her long smooth hair. She looked a little younger than him but she looked much stronger, she was drying her hair with a towel while speaking to Wenrou.


    "Hey why did you jump down the waterfall? Why did you have to jump down the moment I was about to make a breakthrough?" Her voice was domineering, she was looking up at the heavens while saying this like the heavens had played an ugly joke on her. She was asking him why he jumped, but she didn''t care about why he jumped,  she was annoyed that his body collided with hers in the water whilst she almost made a breakthrough.


    She looked at him with beady eyes, not able to understand this boy. If not for her he would have died, can a boy really be so weak? She didn''t understand but she asked again "so why did you jump?" seemingly a little more interested, this was the first time she seen anybody jump down this waterfall, not even grown men would dare this, let alone a boy. Yet this boy had?


    Wenrou looked down at his hands, he had been fixated on her this whole time, he took a gulp, slightly shook his head to regain his composure and looked back and said whilst he was shivering from the cold "I was escaping from something" the girl looked like she understood. Of course Wenrou couldn''t tell but it seemed she was familiar with the concept "escaping".


    The girl crossed her arms and legs, then sat on her bottom, slowly opened her eyes wide and spoke whilst releasing her aura "So! How will you repay me! You broke my concentration when I almost made a breakthrough, this is no small thing what will you do repay me?"


    Wenrou didn''t understand, she was younger but had already begun her Qi training? She almost made a breakthrough before he crashed into her? To him this concept was something he could never understand almost making a breakthrough would be important to any cultivator, regardless of stage.


    Wenrou unknowing what to do, just shrugged his shoulders he didn''t understand nor completely believe her about what she just said to him. He just laid back down, exhausted and wet, he took of his clothes one by one, the girls eyes grew wider she didn''t understand why he was taking his clothes off.


    "...!!"


    "Was this how he was going to repay me!?" Is all she could think, her eyes wide, her breath rugged her heart panting abnormally fast!


    Wenrou didn''t care about her, even if he broke her concentration shes still just a child. This was his new fate, he wanted to get dry, then get moving he wasn''t shy at all at this moment. i#If she wanted to watch him she could, he just wouldn''t care.


    The girls face growing redder, she turned her head slightly her eyes had a sudden fierce glint, she didn''t understand this boy at all, they was talking one a moment ago, next he started stripping? Wheres is this boys etiquette? Stripping in front of a girl, does he have no shame?


    She shouted in a loud voice without looking back towards Wenrous "Grandpa some boy is getting naked to repay me"


    Wenrou hearing this gave a dry cough he replied in a fast fashion "Don''t think of yourself to highly, I am just taking these wet clothes of so I can get dry. I will be gone soon."


    "Ri my dear, has the boy woken up?" A voice sounding happy, and joyful sounded out.


    She looked a little angrier it seemed her grandpa didn''t take her words seriously! She gave a cold "Hmph" and repeated her words louder "Grandpa, this boy is shameless he is already naked quick! Quick, come here and look at this boy!"


    An old man, popped his head out from where it could be seen, his body hidden behind a tree but there was a bright glow where his body was hidden, seemed they had setup camp here and was preparing to spend the night. He had good vision, and was able to quickly see Wenrou so relaxed laying down completely naked! Naked in front of his daughter!?


    The old man jumped out, Wenrou raised his head to see a stomping hunched back man walking to him, he had a straw hat, and a piece of straw in his mouth, he had a mustache that had almost dried up and looked prickly. He had a big forehead, with three moles around his right eye, his nose was hooked and skinny. He held both his hands behind his back and was wearing a cotton beige robe. The robes were simple and comfortable, he enjoyed wearing these the most and sandals. His disgusting toe nails sticking out, but they seemed to fit with his appearance and compared to his other body parts didn''t look so bad.


    Wenrou seeing this old man, just looked confused. He said whilst looking innocent "Mister, your granddaughter is delusional I just removed the clothes because I am wet. She wanted me to repay her, I didn''t know how, but if she enjoys looking at me then that can be considered repayment, since all I have is my body and dreams!"

    His voice came out unrestrained and not polite at all. The old man seeing this just laughed "Haha, this boy is funny come boy, why don''t you join us for dinner, let us escort you to the Xia Ban city. We''ll get you dry clothes as well, how does that sound?" His voice was gentle and comforting, Wenrou hearing this could only oblige.


    Few hours later--


    The camp fire had been blazing for hours now, and lit up the surrounding area it provided the camp with a warm heat, the three was sitting around the fire on wooden logs the old man procured. It seemed Wenrou couldn''t find a comfortable position, always fidgeting, they each held a warm wooden bowl. The old man had a massive smile on his face from ear to ear, when people ate his food he would feel joy this was a sort of profession he liked to always test and try different cuisines, he would enjoy cooking sort of a hobby for him.


    Wenrou was chugging bowl after bowl, some food would spill onto his cheek and his clothes, but he wouldn''t care he hadn''t eat in a few days. This food was to good! He shouted out between chugging bowls "How can this food be so good, old man, you must have added something special to it!"


    The old mans and the young girls appetite was effected by this image, it seemed the more Wenrou ate, the more their eyes was making them feel full from watching him, when they looked back down at their own bowls, they couldn''t eat this boy was eating to fast and eager! The old man said "Ri this boy must have went through on ordeal, it is clear he hasn''t ate for so long, why don''t you make friends with him?"


    She looked back up dissatisfied "He is a savage, look at the method he is eating why would I want to make friends with such a disgusting creature" and with a short "Hmph" she looked the other way, trying to eat her food with a small spoon.


    The old man could only heave a sigh inwardly and thought to himself "This girl, it''s hard for her to open her heart to anybody."


    He turned to look at Wenrou and asked him in a sharp manner "So why did you jump down the waterfall? Why would you come to the lower half when the upper half of the planet has better conditions to live?"


    Wenrou was silent he didn''t know how to answer he looked back at the old man, a cold awkward silence began creeping up, before it lasted any longer the old man waved with his right hand in a shaking manner "Don''t worry about it. By the way my name is Baohu, and this young lady is Ri my grand daughter. What is your name young man?"


    "Wenrou" He replied without delay and continued chugging with his eyes fixated on the old man.


    Baohu asked Wenrou in a concerned manner "What will you do now now that you are here, if you wish to go back to the upper half I can help you, if you like that is."


    Wenrou stopped chugging and looked to the ground briefly before looking back at Baohu, placing the bowl on the log, both his hands had clenched. He replied while he gnashed his teeth "I can''t go back. There is nothing for me to go back to!"


    The girl of to side looking away, she was looking away but she was concentrated on the conversation between her Grandpa and Wenrou. Hearing Wenrous response she looked back, she could see his rage in his eyes and fists, she didn''t understand but her voice came out, it seemed her mouth moved without her command, she blurted out without thinking "Why don''t you join us?"


    Silence!


    Baohu looked at her, had she ever asked anybody to travel with us? "Ri, are you sure?" asking like what she said before, was just a joke or fake sound.


    She looked at her grandpa with conviction "He has to repay me anyway, he can just follow till I figure out what!"


    Wenrou looked annoyed he quickly rebutted her "I don''t owe you anything, and I was planning to let the stream carry me down to the city, but now I am stuck here to far away from the city. You say I broke your concentration, you broke my travel plan!" He was shameless, he was lucky to have just survived! But he wouldn''t be chained to another person like before. Shifting his shameless gaze he looked into another direction.


    The girl had a red face, she had never asked anybody to accompany them before but the first one had rejected her! She didn''t understand this little boy at all, her body felt extremely hot her blood pumping, her heart restless, what was this feeling?


    Baohu looked confused, he moved to sit next to Wenrou and said in a gentle manner "Boy don''t worry. You won''t owe us anything, we travel selling monster carcasses and actually need an extra hand to help carry some. I will provide you with a place to sleep and a school to go with Ri. We work during the night, and you kids will study during the day. How does that sound?"


    Wenrou didn''t understand, this was to good of a treatment for a boy they just recently met. He didn''t know what the old man was thinking giving him a treatment like this, but he didn''t know this was the first time Ri had actually decided to help a random person, and a boy of her age maybe this would help her open up to somebody?


    He was a gentle old man, he wouldn''t leave him out here regardless of Wenrous answer, at least he would help him to the city, then he could leave if he wished to.


    Wenrou replied in non confident manner "I guess, I can..?"

 Chapter 7: Acceptance Day

    Yin Long planet lower half


    Wenrou, Baohu and Ri were located in the Meigui forest, close to the Xia Ban city. This city was located in the lower half and housed millions of people, and with it being the lower half there was warrants to cut down beasts in the Meigui forest to help keep the city as safe as possible. It was also a way to keep the people calm, there was no better way than to hang up dead carcasses and beast heads dangling of the walls.


    Each head of any beast of any rank would be paid in coin, naturally beasts hunters that went out would attain special privileges like free meal or a free bed for the night. It wouldn''t be luxurious especially not in the lower half, but it was acceptable privileges nonetheless.


    The Meigui forests, was located near the south of the Xia Ban city, and housed some of the most vicious beasts. This forest was a death zone for most cultivators and beast hunters, the forest had swirling trees brown and violet colored, from the ground it would grow straight for about 5 meters then it would slowly distort and begin to swirl. The leaves of this forest were red with specs of brown as well as black on them, since all the trees would end up swirling towards the top half, they interlocked with each other and ended up blocking out the sun. From the outside it looked like a massive red dome and it had this disgusting thick mist that would move like a tidal wave.


    When one looked at the mist that would blow out from the forest, and then get sucked back in within mere seconds would give most people goose bumps. A bad premonition!


    Within the forest you could hear beast and monster shrieks from all directions, within a part of the forest was an old man, picking berries and mushrooms of the floor that was mostly made up of stones and pebbles with small streams of water flowing down, this old man was Baohu, he was also, occasionally catching seven legged blue frogs with a tiny bulge on their forehead. To Baohu they was food!


    His face had a sinister gaze and lecherous smile on it he had already decided on many possibilities to cook them.


    He would think to himself "Tonight I am going to boil them alive, ahhh.. the way they boil alive will give them another sweet taste, or no. I will chop of the legs and boil them separately, since the body contains a small poison sac that could affect the taste. I''ll wrap the legs in scented green leaves to give the boiled legs a spectacular taste" with each thought he would take in a deep breath through his nostrils, as if he was smelling the food being cooked, the more he thought about what he could do, the more excited and wicked he would look.


    Ri seeing this old mans sinister gaze and smile just sighed this old man could be so gentle to humans but evil to beasts she and the old man had a special relationship she would shout at him when she would need to, and would be polite and respectful when needed right now she was fighting a beast but this old man wouldn''t help her.


    She could feel her rage boil up within her "Oi, grandpa stop having lecherous thoughts about tonight''s dinner. I AM NOT EATING FROG LEGS! SO DISGUSTING! Now will you help me kill this damned horned iron boar!" Her voice came out with discontent, how can this old man look so happy when his granddaughter was fighting with her life on the line?


    The old mans face didn''t change still imaging the many possibilities, his prickly mustache was able to cut the air, and this made him look even scarier. He just looked back at her "ahhh these frog legs will go nicely as a side dish next to that boar meat, alas I cannot help. No kill no feed. Kill that boar for tonight''s dinner and your training for today is complete!" his voice came out extremely smooth while he took a meditative position, he looked extremely happy holding his backpack, like it carried jewels and gold, didn''t even seem like he noticed Ri fighting the boar, he was in his own little world.


    Ri, held up her hands into a protective stance, Qi expanded from her fists and she was fighting this Horned Iron Boar bear handed. Her palms turning slightly red, from the constant collision with the Boar but didn''t look like it worried her at all. Looking for a place to strike the boar she looked around to only notice a branch up behind her, not to high not to low.


    She dodged backwards with skill, not even looking back perfectly standing on rocks like she had mapped this place, like it was imprinted it into her brain before the fight. The boar however, had different plans it wasn''t planning to die to such a weak looking girl! It kept following her tightly wailing and thrashing with its tusks at every chance, her brows creased she had one chance to to kill this boar, and that was a clean cut to the nape of the neck.


    The moment she neared the tree, she used her lower body strength to thrust her up to the branch, her body moved in a 180% with her legs landing at the bottom of the branch, an evil smile painted across her face, her left hand stretched out like a knife and she thought to her self "half crescent slash!" her body using the momentum of the leap, and the gravity of the planet her Qi focused towards her knife like palm and fingers, she descended at a scary speed! The branch split under her foot exerting pressure, and blasting of.


    Blood spurted out from the boars body, "Puchi.." the head flew off and landed close to her body, "bak, bak" she just looked at the Boar with contempt.


    These Iron Boars wouldn''t understand concept of surroundings or abilities to fight back. Their body was hardened through the Qi pouring through their orifices and being absorbed by their thick leather skin made them hard to deal with for some people. However, anybody who trained to a certain degree would be able to fight back with ease, able to kill them with a clean cut to the nape located at the back of the neck.


    Ri, just left the 4 meter long body, riddled with scars and wounds made from falling and attacks from humans. The boar had hair that had become as hard as mini wooden branches, it was grey colored across the stomach, and had brown fur. It had two white spear tusks coming out of its mouth, but one had been snapped off clearly from an earlier fight where it had survived, it gave it a fierce expression. It would send any boy back to their mama crying.


    The grandpa wasn''t far, he seen the body slumped he just walked over discontent on his face and voice "Your crescent chop is still to slow, if the branch was closer to the ground would you be able to make the jump and spin in time, and build enough momentum to generate enough power for the chop to cleanly cut this boar? No I don''t think so. Stop looking proud and go get Wenrou you silly girl!"


    She just pouted her lips and crossed her arms "I''ll master this skill before long!"


    Ri ran over to the cart where Wenrou was lying down "Oi Wenrou get the fuck up you freeloader. Help my grandpa carry my kill" She crossed her arms and raised her head as she said this, she looked way to proud, it was faintly emitting from her.


    Wenrou hearing the word "Oi" could only feel rage from deep, deep inside him. He had come to hate this word with every cell and fiber in his body. This girl would start every sentence when she addressed someone with "Oi" his face would twitch, he would clench his jaw because after a few months it had started to irritate him, and Ri noticing this naturally wasn''t going to stop any time soon. She was having a lot of fun pissing him off.


    He just looked at her with his eyes droopy, that contained malice behind them, he could only nod. He jumped out the cart and headed towards Baohu. Along the way he couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air and think to himself "this girl is crazy, shes able to kill a Horned Iron Boar! Fucking freak" he would curse in his heart every time she killed a huge beast because, she would kick him down and look down at him, he wasn''t able to do such things, without even a seed growing and having weak Qi maybe he would never be able to.


    Baohu noticing Wenrous quiet and distant demeanor couldn''t help but pry "What are you thinking about?"


    Wenrou looked up, he looked at Baohu as he picked up a leg of the Boar and started quietly murmuring at a volume Ri wasn''t able to hear, "My brother will be attending the School Acceptance Day today" maybe she would laugh till tomorrow if she found out his brother was extremely talented, compared to him who was pretty much garbage.


    "Your brother? Interesting, Interesting.. Does he have talent?" Boahu said this while running his oily fingers through his spear like mustache, looked a little shocked inwardly, Wenrou would hardly talk about himself or his past, he couldn''t help asking more. This man loved hearing peoples secrets, he had an air of mysticism as well, which probably came about by all of the secrets he knows.


    Wenrou just silently nodded confirming Boahu''s question.


    --------------------


    Crater City was lively today, it was vibrant and glowing! Today was the School Acceptance Day! many youths would enter a school and begin to train, eventually being able to master some sort of Art that would propel them when they left this planet.


    The city was having a giant festival, everybody would attend and watch the acceptance day either from the streets or from their balcony and windows of their top floor. The city had decorations littered from building to building, or plastered to the walls with orange and blue lanterns lit all around the city giving an air of festivities, some parts of the city had fireworks and dance shows going on with people dressed in beast costumes reenacting a famous fight between a beast and a supreme warrior. Drums were constantly being played throughout the city, it wasn''t to loud nor to quiet it blended into the mixture of sounds perfectly.


    The city as loud as it is, quieted down, the drums slowed down and eventually coming to halt. When the three major schools entered the square and surrounded a round platform positioned in the very center of the city. The platform was made up of silver stone, with a black wooden border running all the way around the perimeter, it was one meter above the ground.


    Everybody was silent as the City lord Toulan Xuanze moved up to the platform, ready to give a speech to the crowd he was wearing a metallic red colored robe, with a gold and black pattern embroidered onto it, with black shoes that was plain but suited the robe very much. The robe was fluttering in the wind, Toulan had both his hands behind him, his hair floating in the slight breeze, brushing past his face every so often.


    Toulan using his Qi to address the people in the square and all the schools present started talking "Today is another joyous occasion for our Yin Long planet. Today is a day our children have reached an age where they can grow wings and fly. Without further ado we will let the Zh¨¦ ch¨¬ de q¨«zh¨°ngj¨© school and Hu¨¯h¨®ng de qu¨¢nt¨®u school come up and display a martial art routine then we will begin the administration tests to test the children''s capabilities.


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Didn''t take long for the Zhe Chi school to step up first, wearing white uniforms they was 8 young adults at the age of 18. They looked calm yet fierce, moving into a circle position, all facing each other at each other they began collecting their Qi and soon it turned into the wind element. Their dance routine was one of composure, elegance and swift movements jumping in and out between each other, using the wind to propel them a hairs distance past each, truly left the crowd gasping and wanting more. The wind element they utilized had calmed the air surrounding the platform, but left the people with jumping heartbeats.


    Next the Huohong school stepped up, wearing black uniforms specializing in the element of fire their moves were all firm and explosive they started in a straight formation but each move would place them at a different part of the platform synchronizing their fire to bring about crazy moves, each move would lift them selves of the ground with the explosive capabilities of the fire element bursting out of their palms and feet. They had magnificent control over the fire element, utilizing the fire to burst from their fists, and bottom of their soles enabling them to glide around the platform weaving in and out of each other with the occasional one flying above for a brief moment and spiting an explosive flame.


    This all left the crowd gasping at every turn the young adults would almost collide with each other, or when one would fly out from within the black uniforms, and would use the brief moment before landing to conjure fire to slow his descent enough to move into a position within the formation.


    It took a moment for the Huohong school to step down, and the atmosphere was left with a fiery breeze, everybody looking extremely excited and their blood boiling. Parents happy their sons and daughters would be able to wield elements such as this when the time came.


    Toulan stepped back up, all the people around the platform fell silent.


    Toulan looked down to the bodies that filled the square and said in a quiet manner "we will have the kids who want to join the school they wish to join stand up in an orderly fashion and prepare to meet the heads of the respective schools  and see if they have the requirements to join.


    Zhe Chi school was clearly very popular, the many kids lined up to meet the head. The head of the Zhe Chi school wore a long white robe with golden patterns embroidered onto the robe, the robe was especially long that it covered his feet, he had grey hair and grey thin long beared that dropped down to this waist, he gave of the feeling of ancientness and a profound wind was circling around him.


    Each kid stepped up walking towards him, he would touch their wrist for a brief moment analyzing their seed, he would give a affirmative nod which would move the kid to the next stage, where he would place his hand upon a special gemstone that would demonstrate the amount of Qi their body was generating at their age. The more Qi one produced, the more one could use skills, and profound movement techniques the less Qi one produced per breath would result in a  longer waiting time before they was battle ready again.


    The Zhe Chi was taking long it seemed, and the Huohong and other schools stepped up, each master was emitting a dignified aura the Huohong school master was dressed in deep black azure robes with a circular swirling motion sewn, with a red fire phoenix image on the back of his robes, he had white hair and red eyebrows with flaming fiery red eyes.


    You could  hear numbers being shouted out each school was recording the results of the students participating in the test numbers such as "112, 78, 89, 65, 92, 221" 221 was an extremely high number, most people gaped at this number and heads were raised to see which kid this was, whoever it was would bring great pride and power to their family in the future.


    The numbers kept coming out unceasingly, the Zhe Chi and Huohong as well as the other schools had accepted a considerable amount of students in the square, except one. This was the Tiandi school, an old man dressed in black, with a black hood he turned all the kids around as they came. Their seed and their Qi accumulation talents were weak no matter whoever came, it seemed he wasn''t willing to accept any kid this year..


    The parents seeing their kids being turned around without being tested could only curse in their hearts.


    Most of the lords who seen this could only sigh, the Tiandi school was mysterious the master would only accept one student a year and that was just through sheer luck, however everybody knew that the Tiandi school produced the best quality students. Cause he took very little on, he would develop them much more as he could concentrate on them enabling them to develop greater.


    Greyhound and Toulan were surrounded by servants and other lords, eating fruits and meat as they was drinking wine, watching little Jie make his way to the platform. They wanted him to go to the Zhe Chi school, but after the things that happened between Wenrou and Toulan he had become a little rebel, not listening to his fathers and Greyhounds suggestion he didn''t go to the Zhe Chi school, he just stood there pondering about where to go, his eyes moving along each school but he would constantly drift to the Tiandi Schools master, it was like he was drawing him in he could only look more and more towards him the more he focused.


    Toulan gave Greyhound a slight nod, even though Toulan was eating and drinking wine and looked happy, he actually wasn''t he seemed to have aged five years over the course of a few months. He was just fake laughing and smiling at his guests but he just wanted Jie to be accepted and make his way back home.


    Greyhound moved and landed next to Jie, on one knee he asked "little lord? What is the matter? Just pick a school, you are talented whichever school you decide to go to they will accept you, me and your father sug.." before he finished speaking Jie gave him a fierce look he still hadn''t forgotten how Greyhound had took him away from his brother and he hadn''t forgave him yet.


    Greyhound could only laugh bitterly, his little lord had tried to act cold towards his father and him but he wasn''t very good at it his fierce looks, weren''t fierce at all they was just a small child angry but if one looked past that they could see he still loved his father and Greyhound he was just punishing them for what had happened.


    Jie just moved to the platform but he didn''t walk towards any of the major schools he just walked close to the Tiandi school master and sat down with his legs crossed and his fists below his chin holding his head up. He spoke directly towards the master who had his eyes closed "Mister, why do I feel like I am drawn to you?" His cute voice sounded out direct and sharp.


    The other masters in the square picked up on this and looked interested, stroking their beards they all looked towards the old man in black hooded robes with curiosity gleaming in their eyes. The air was quietly blowing across the square and it seemed everybody and everything had stopped and turned to look at this situation going on in the square. A child had addressed a master directly?


    Buzzes of conversations sprouted out from the crowd "Whose kid is this? He spoke to the Tiandi school master" most of the people had confused looks on their faces, Greyhound and Toulan could only laugh in their hearts this kid knew no fear. It didn''t take long for word to spread out that this kid was Toulan Xuanzes kid, the crowd paid even more attention when they gained the knowledge of who he was.


    Tiandi School Master opened his eyes slowly, his gaze looking across the square, before long it landed on this kid who sat in a position like he was listening to a lecture or looking at a sculpture, the master just looked at him and said in a voice filled with veneration "may I test your seed little one?" Jie just nodded, handing his hand over...


    The moment the Tiandi school master placed his hand onto Jie''s wrist his eyes filled with shock his body jumped up, everybody in the crowd who seen this scene was filled with shock as well, at most the master would usually just grunt and accept a disciple before leaving but they never seen such a scene! The master urged Jie to place his hand on the rock, it was important to be talented in both areas, Qi and a Powerful seed.


    Jie placed his small hands onto the stone, the stone was a great deal bigger than his hand and he only managed to cover half the stone where the stone illuminated producing a gold colored number 321!


    The whole crowd was stunned "...!!!!!!!" "Is that even a child? I have never seen a number so high on our planet!"


    Instantly the crowd burst into a riot they had never seen such a number, this was higher than most kids in the inner conclave planets, it was extremely hard to match kids from the inner planets as they had the best treatment and even the best materials and food, pills to treat their body way before the required age of training, but Jie had reached this number on this small planet?


    Toulans calm gaze turned into an expression of shock, instantly his body heated up producing sweat that had started pouring down his  head he didn''t believe the number? He rubbed his eyes twice, three times and then a fourth but he still didn''t believe it! Greyhound and all the other lords the same, they had never seen such a number in an acceptance day!!


    The Tiandi Master just clasped his hands and had a affectionate smile on his face, he could only think to himself "I will be able to train another sage! The lords have blessed me with one final student and he is so talented, he will become a sage in the future. haha!"


    It took a long time for the crowd to quieten down, nobody could still believe the number. The other masters were also unable to move their eyes or even concentrate on the kids in front of them, they all wanted to know the quality of this kids seed? If his Qi talent was so high, what was his Seed like? They all felt their hearts pump at this notion.


    Once the whole ordeal calmed completely down, the kids returned to their parents side, most still unable to remove their gaze from the child especially the other school masters, the Tiandi School had gotten extremely lucky this time and had gained such a talented disciple.


    Jie moved next to his father and sat down, he didn''t quite understand the situation but he enjoyed all the people in the square looking at him with wide eyes and shock filled faces. He wasn''t completely the same as Wenrou, where Wenrou didn''t like to much attention, Jie welcomed it. He liked to be noticed and wasn''t as shy as his brother either.


    The festivities continued on for another day before coming to and end, at which point the children chosen would make their way to the respective schools to begin training.

 Chapter 8: 7 Years

    Yin Long Planet Upper Half


    Crater City was stilled on this night. The quietness was almost tangible, no rustle of clothing, everybody¡¯s breathing was slow and barely audible. The whole of Crater City was gathered at the center, viewing the platform in the center of the city with utmost care. To these people, being able to view martial artists as they grow up, and spar is a truly blood boiling occasion. Men would enjoy it more than women, of course not all women were of such mind.


    The platform was a whole new domain, the atmosphere within the platform was reserved for only the fighters to feel the stones below their feet. To be able to breathe the air that lingered above the platform, made one feel like royalty. It was truly astonishing.


    Knowing the moment you stepped on that platform all of Crater City would have their eyes upon you.


    The platform hovered there, like a flat disc, uninterrupted by the gazes homing on to the platform. Two young adults were locked in gaze, one was adorned in a white cotton robe belonging to the Zhi Chi School. The other youth was enveloped in a pitch black, loosely fit silk robe with a hood. This youth was none other than Jie.


    Jie looking at the boy across him, edging his feet inch by inch. His left hand stretched out in front of him, aligned with his upper torso. Jies palm was open, with his right hand in a fist by his waist line. His left leg stretched ahead of his right leg, his body slightly crouched, and his weight on his right foots toes to give him the spring required for his leap. Whilst the Zhe Chi student was relaxed, both his feet distanced by 30 cm, forming the letter L, his knees slightly bent. Both his arms relaxed out, with an open palm, a slight curl raised on the side of his lips.


    The Zhe Chi student took two light steps, moving his left leg first ¡®pu¡¯ . ¡®pu¡¯. Both his hands dropped to his side, dangling in the wind. His light steps were more like mini leaps, he covered three metres in a breath. His third step landing on his left leg, he sprang vaulting in the air. Behind his left leg, wind element was accumulating from the moment he entered his stance. The slashing blades of the wind behind his leg, distorted the surrounding atmosphere.


    The moment his leg closed in on the platform, bringing with it a swirling wind. The wind blade unleashed, sprang out from behind his leg parting the wind above the platform, screeching across the platform ¡®screeeeeeeee¡¯.


    Jie looking at his opponent, ignoring the incoming wind blade, grinding across the platform. Jie sidestepped to the left, both his feet working in unison like each foot was orbiting around the other. He moved steadily, The wind blade rushed past him, blowing wind into his face. The Zhe Chi student hadn¡¯t landed yet. Jie Sprung, like a dragon flying out of his cave! Leaping a whole eight metres, his right foot landed first, his left foot lagging behind, came sliding through.


    His body utilizing the Qi from his right foot that was like a pole stuck in the ground. His right fist clenched harder, he had also been rotating and circulating his Qi from the beginning. His left foot sliding, carrying the momentum of the launch and land, pivoting from his waist, carrying the power which moved towards his left palm. His left foot stopped just before the Zhe Chi student. Jies body rising from his landing position, his palm shooting to the Zhe Chi students¡¯ chest! He couldn¡¯t dodge, his palm that had flew out, like it exploded out of a canon! The instant it moved, was the instant it landed on his chest!


    The Zhe Chi Student didn¡¯t know what to do, a deep feeling of fear imbued in the palm. The whole place darkened in his view. All he could see was the palm that landed on his chest! All he could hear was the palm landing on his chest ¡®PA¡¯. He closed his eyes, it was instinct that told him to close his eyes.


    ¡°¡­¡­.¡± The whole square still quiet, everybody in a knelt position around the square using their hands to clutch on to their clothes! This fight was decided in an instant!


    A muffled explosion sounded on the platform, a second after the palm landed on the Zhe Chi students¡¯ chest. It was like a small bomb had exploded in a closed metal container. The air was blasted, but didn¡¯t move far like it was compressed around the platform. The Zhe Chi student felt a cold, yet gentle breeze flow through his innards and explode behind his back!


    ¡°¡­¡­.!!¡±


    The crowd couldn¡¯t contain their excitement and curiosity any longer!


    ¡°Did you see that white smoke?¡±


    ¡°Is he okay?!¡±


    The crowd gasping, they could clearly see the white dust explode from behind the student. Most of the kids and women had their hands covering their mouths, unable to understand the situation at all. Actually nobody was, the only people who could tell was the School Masters, and Disciples. They all understood that Jie had went easy, he had controlled his Qi to explode it directly behind the opponent. Otherwise it would have been a serious injury. Such control!


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    Jies gaze looked evil, he was thinking to himself ¡®I won¡¯t let him of this easy, that wind blade was capable of chopping of an arm or two.¡¯ Jie rotated his palm that was flat across the Zhe Chi Students chest, the moment his palm rotated the enemy blasted of, his body twisting in mid-air, crashing onto an empty food stand not too far away from the platform.


    ¡®Bang¡¯ , ''kuchi'' ''chicha'' sounds of splitting, splintering and snapped woods filled the square.


    The student got back up, clasped his hands towards Jie, then the school masters and bowed towards the spectating crowd. Making his way back to his school, he sat back down. He was replaying the fight in his mind, trying to understand what he could have done better. This was the first time he had been beaten so quickly, his name was Pinjing. He had curly, golden brown hair. Lean body, with deep blue eyes.


    Jie following suit did the same, next he moved of the platform in a steady and calm fashion. He seemed like a martial god to this crowd, able to predict his enemy¡¯s movements and technique, being able to counter with a lightning fast response!


    The crowd went into an uproar, wanting to view more fights, see these youths before they left this planet in a years¡¯ time.


    Greyhound of to the side, was talking quietly with Toulan. They looked aged, but happy. It was seven years, since they sent Jie to train, even they never imagined he would have joined the Tiandi School. However, in a short period of time, he exhibited such amazing talent, eclipsing all the other youths in training.


    Toulan started to think about somebody else. He was in a relaxed manner, lying down on the beast fur, where a beautiful lady who was feeding him grapes and cherries. This lady, was Wenrous mother. She had medium blonde hair, and had well defined body with swaying curves. She wasn¡¯t the prettiest women in the square, but for some reason Toulan could only look at her. She had this beauty that appealed just to him, like a sparkling diamond nobody could see.


    She carried a face of happy, and comfort for public events. However, she wasn¡¯t happy, she had poor ovaries since birth and Wenrou was her only child, naturally she thought he would grow up just like Jie. But fate wasn¡¯t just cruel on Wenrou, fate was also cruel on her.


    Toulan looked sad, thinking how Zhi had lost Wenrou. He couldn¡¯t have believed that Wenrou would run away, nobody was able to find him. They found tracks leading to the waterfall, and looking at the displaced rock, and tracks made them understand that Wenrou had fallen into the lake and died, as his body was feeble. No way would he have been able to survive the drop, not with his body!


    Greyhound of the side, couldn¡¯t help but think ¡®one son a bright flame, the other whose candle was never lit. Such a shame, I miss that rascal. I wonder what he would be like today.¡¯


    Zhi had her hands, running through Toulans hair scratching it slightly. She felt some of the blame was Toulans fault, but Zhi understood that he cared for Wenrou, more than he should have in his own right.


    Zhi was a naturally quiet women, she would always think in her head and wouldn¡¯t talk much with others. The only people she really talked with on more than one occasion was Toulan, Greyhound and the other servants. After Wenrou, was presumed dead she went even quieter, and she avoided Jie like he was a plague. He looked like a spitting image of Wenrou, and this would cause her more suffering.


    She had mistaken Jie for Wenrou, on more than one occasion, every time he returned from school. Keeping her hopes up that one day he would return, these thoughts would break her heart even more. She had went even quieter over time, she just nodded nowadays. The last time she had spoken was 3 years ago. The time she had closed her heart to anybody and anything. To her this world was dull, grey and devoid of light.


    How important is a son to a mother? The pain of bringing him into this world? Could a father understand this? She carried Wenrou in her womb for 38 weeks, and was so happy to have a good looking child who made friends and knew how to have a good time. If you was a mother, could you live in a world, where your son had fallen of a cliff and presumed to have drowned to death? Could you?


    The platform was filled with more fights, scorching flames, whistling winds and shattering rock sounds filled the city square that night. It took a whole day, to get through all the students to demonstrate to the city and their parents how much they have grown. Even though Jie only stood up for one fight, his fight was imprinted into the hearts and minds of everybody there.

 Chapter 9: First Meeting

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 9: First meeting.


    Floating planet Yin Long, lower half


    The planet was especially warm during this season. It is the summer solstice, this period of season for the Yin Long planet felt like a dragon was breathing flames, fumes into the atmosphere making it hard to breathe. Practicing cultivation would make it for the majority of the population hard to maintain their vigour.


    This naturally never applied as harshly to cultivators, but it would still be a burden during this time of the year. The landscape looked crimson from a distance, the sun raging within the distance, would produce bursts that would carry with-it raging flames as it illuminated the nearby revolving planets.


    Every sun is different within the galaxy, and the sun providing life to the Yin Long planet is a young son.


    Baohu and Ri had just finished hunting, and wanted to surprise Wenrou, making an earlier roundtrip to pick up Wenrou before heading back out to hunt and prepare camp. Ri had stopped attending school alongside Wenrou. Since Ri was too far ahead of all the cultivators and martial artists, why bother with them?


    ¡°Grandpa, do you understand Wenrous situation at all?¡± Ri asked sitting on the cart, looking curiously at her Grandpa.


    Baohu just glanced at Ri from the side, he is also unable to completely understand Wenrou. He replied calm and quiet ¡°I do not know he is different that is for sure. His meridians are not completely blocked, but his body is unable to absorb the Qi lingering within the planets and the galaxy. He is unable to draw from the essence of the worlds. The last remaining planet guardians all disappeared 10,000 years ago. They had cultivation methods for all kinds of situations. However, like I said. Wenrous case is a little special, for him to cultivate again will require extreme measures..¡±


    Ris expression became solemn. Baohu noticed the change in her emotions, how could he not? They had spent the past seven years on this planet, and Wenrou had always accompanied Ri. Ri has had little to no friends since birth, and carries the burden of a family awaiting her return. She is not so close to Wenrou to fall in love with him, but they are good friends, even if they tease each other and annoy each other they still have a good time, and these are the only years Baohu has seen Ri smile and become close to somebody other than him.


    ¡°Ri¡± Baohu called out, stopping the cart. His expression had turned serious


    ¡°You must bury your heart in ice. Once we leave this planet in a few days you will never see Wenrou again. His fate is tied to this planet, never to leave, and perhaps that is best for him. He wouldn¡¯t last long in the other sectors, especially not in our family.¡±


    Ri was about to argue, but could see Wenrou up ahead. She turned her gaze and noticed a scene unfolding in front of them.


    ¡°Hey Wenrou, check this new skill I have mastered¡± a thin and grating voice sounded out.


    And with that the assailant leapt forward, one foot in front of the other there was a swirling motion around his left hand where a faint Qi stream could be seen from the tips of his fingers leaving behind a smooth trail. The fingers struck Wenrous top right shoulder, where Wenrou was blown away to crash into a wall behind him.


    Wenrou was being beaten, and these weren¡¯t just normal attacks. They were Qi infused abilities, obviously the person attacking had amazing control allowing him to leave the littlest of damage. This was Ra¡¯win.


    Ris eyebrows knitted together. She never liked Ra¡¯win, he liked to hurt people too much. It had become a sickness with him.


    Seeing Wenrou unable to defend against him, she was just about to leap up, and protect him when Baohus arm suddenly grabbed hers.


    She turned looking furiously at her grandpa.


    ¡°What are you doing Ri? If you act now, Wenrou is a man, already a young adult. Helping like this will only further send him to his grave, what will he do when you leave? If you help now, and even if you hurt the other boy, later he will come back even harsher for protecting Wenrou. Then imagine his situation?¡±


    How could Baohu not understand Wenrou. He knew that Wenrou was being beaten up daily, but if he never asked for help, he wouldn¡¯t help him. He has already done enough for Wenrou. He knew that helping beforehand would only make it worse for Wenrou.


    Wenrou felt extremely ashamed of not being able to fight back on his own, and his natural deficiency of not being able to circulate Qi around his body made him feel lower than a dog.


    He would occasionally think back to his argument with his dad back in the mansion. Seven years had passed, but he had not forgotten that day, what his father had said. He had long ago believed to be lower than a dog.


    As Wenrou was lying on the floor pain stricken, his face solemn he noticed Ri and Baohu. He noticed their eyes looking at him.


    ¡°No why are they here?! No no! Why! Fuck you Ra¡¯win. You piece of shit. Now they are looking at me like that as well. Does everybody think I am lower than a dog?!¡±


    Wenrou could only curse in his heart. He hated how people looked at him, he shifted his gaze away from Baohu and Ri. He was unable to look at them, viewing him as a weak and pathetic human.


    Just as Ri was about to push of her Grandpas arm, the atmosphere changed.


    A man had suddenly appeared on top of a small cliff of at the side. The cliff was like a small overpass, such cliffs are overabundant within the environment. The man was crouched, he wasn¡¯t emitting anything but his gaze. He looked towards Wenrou and Ra¡¯win.


    Within the area was Ri and Baohu. Ra¡¯win and his people we¡¯re there as well and just Wenrou. Now that this mysterious person had appeared, time had suddenly stopped. Nobody could move, Ra¡¯win felt a cold chill pass through his body. He suddenly felt Goosebumps all over his arms, his hair was sticking up! This was fear, this was instinct telling him to run!


    Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    He stayed crouched, looking at the scene in front of him. He had long black hair, his head was tilted slightly towards the ground making the bamboo hat on his head block most of his features. However, this still made Ra¡¯win shiver with a cold sweat. His features being hidden, his gaze that was hidden which made it seem much fiercer. This man was mysterious and mysterious was scary.


    The man was adorned in black martial attire with a dark blue robe with blue bubbles all over the robe.


    Nobody realised but they had stopped for a little while. Everybody was waiting for this man to move, who was he? Why did he appear here just now? Everybody was guessing in their hearts.


    Baohu was amused. He couldn¡¯t help but smile, he was unable to understand the strength of this mysterious man. However, Baohu being a martial artist of a high calibre could understand that the man to the side of them was not normal.


    ¡°¡­.¡±


    ¡°Oh? These little baby chicks are playing training. That boy though, such a pity. He can¡¯t protect himself.. hm? Why are they looking at me? Is there something wrong with my clothes? My face?


    The man began touching himself, feeling his clothes, his body and face. This made everybody feel slightly awkward. What is he doing now? The situation had shifted from Wenrou being bullied, to watching this man perform acts.


    He kept touching himself, slowly his hand slipped down to where he grabbed his two balls. He then began itching them. A momentary look of satisfaction eclipsed over his face.


    Ra¡¯win seeing this felt his face twitch. He looked down at Wenrou and spat at him ¡®tuk¡¯ and continued ¡°is this your friend Wenrou? He looks just like you a goddamn fool! Pretending to be something he isn¡¯t.¡±


    Wenrou would piss Ra¡¯win off every time he attended the local lectures based on Martial Arts, Qi and Essence training. Nobody paid attention to Wenrou, because he wouldn¡¯t last more than five minutes in a lesson before a master would shame him in front of the class and beat him up, or watch others attack Wenrou as a way to teach the class martial arts. They would practice on him when they ganged up and ridicule him whenever they saw him.


    It just pissed Ra¡¯win off, making him mad. People who didn¡¯t belong somewhere, shouldn¡¯t be there. This was a rule of society a rule his father beat into him.


    Just as the mysterious man was about to leave, he stopped and turned his head looking at Ra¡¯win. He was tall, standing on the hill with the sun behind him gave of an aura of ancientness.


    Ra¡¯win continued arrogantly ¡°Hey old man. You look similar to this dog here, you worthless sack of shit. Why are you watching something you shouldn¡¯t and why are you hanging around this area. I have never seen you before¡± he finished spitting again ¡®huarrk, tuk¡¯ gathering the phlegm in his mouth and shooting it towards the ground.


    The man just stood there, thinking about what he just said. He replied in a righteous manner, while touching his chin with his right hand as if he was the most serious person ever to say this line ¡°I am looking for females to add to my harem.¡±


    Wenrous eyes bulged, Baohu looked disbelievingly, Ris jaw dropped and Ra¡¯win looked unsightly. He replied ¡°You are just a pervert old man. No girl will willingly give themselves to a pretender like you. Ah, however a pervert like you can¡¯t stop these sort of disgusting thoughts. It is my duty as the instrument of justice to put people like you in their place.¡±


    The man¡¯s gaze turned unsightly. He hated the word pervert! His rage was beginning to billow, the more it billowed within, the redder his face became. Ra¡¯win could see he struck a nerve, and was for sure this man was just a commoner pretending to be a martial artists. Maybe this was his ploy to get females?


    He continued whilst approaching him step by step ¡°Perverts are men who need to be castrated, so we as a human kind can stop more perverts being born.¡±


    Before Ra¡¯win could take another step the wind shuffled, the atmosphere changed it turned cold and chilling! Before Ra¡¯win could look up, he felt a shadow fall on him. He felt the weight of a presence approaching him and before He could do anything ¡®PAK!¡¯


    ¡°Call me a pervert one more time¡± ¡®PAK!¡¯ the man¡¯s rage sky high he continued in a raging fashion ¡°call me a fucking pervert one more time. Watch me take you home and take your mother under me and father more perverts with her¡± ¡®PAK!¡¯


    His rage was seeping out through his nostrils and eyes, before he looked sort of looked handsome and refined under his bamboo hat. Now though he looked like raging red boar! He kept continuing and with each time he kept slapping Ra¡¯Win.


    At this moment, he wanted Ra¡¯win to keep calling him a pervert, because the sensation from slapping made him feel extremely serene! He kept shouting unrestrained ¡°Call me a pervert one more fucking time! Do it!¡±


    Ra¡¯win was being held, he could feel his right arm was stuck in some sort of vice. He couldn¡¯t move any longer. His face red, swelling slowly and few of his teeth knocked out, alongside his nose bleeding. Made him look like a red warthog!


    Ri was shocked as well. The sight of Ra¡¯win being slapped wasn¡¯t what had shocked her. It was that this man had moved 15 paces without expanding his Qi, nor disturbing the surrounding atmosphere. He passed through as if he had owned the air between him and Ra¡¯win!


    Just who is he?!


    Baohu, looked up at him, there was only a few breaths between him and the man. He still couldn¡¯t feel the man extrude any sort of Qi or Essence. He was a talented individual indeed, hiding Qi whilst utilising movement technique would be hard for many master tier martial artists, but this man was able to do it without being prepared for a fight.

 Chapter 10: Senior Laohu

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 10: Senior Laohu


    The mysterious man holding Ra¡¯win, just gave a cold ¡°humph¡± at the end, continued arrogantly ¡°looking at how ugly you are, your mother is probably no better off.¡±


    After saying that, he just let go. Ra¡¯win fell to the ground like a deflated ball. His people, scared to offend ths mysterious expert the three of them continued to quietly hover in the background trying to conceal their figures as much as possible. The man just looked at them and nodded, signalling them to come pick him up and leave.


    The three lads moved in a weary fashion, they clearly saw how much Ra¡¯wins face had changed. How would Ra¡¯win explain to his parents how his face came to be? Three additional melons had spontaneously grew on his face. The sight shocked them to the core, they couldn¡¯t look this mysterious figure directly in the eyes, and right now he looked like a devil to them!


    An awkward air began to linger, as Ra¡¯wins deflated body was being carried off. Nobody could really say anything, or do anything not even the mysterious man. It was like a Mexican stand of, Wenrou on the ground, Ri and Baohu on the cart exchanging gaze for gaze with the mysterious man. However, as much as Ri wanted to look him the eye, she was unable to as some sort of pain would seep into her eyes every time she tried, her eyes felt a slight strain accumulate the longer she stared at this man¡¯s eyes, eventually she gave up. Unable to penetrate through this technique, she could only give up.


    The man was eyeing Ri with dissatisfaction. He was thinking in his head, whilst heaving a sigh ¡°Already a young lady, 16 years of age and potential almost limited. I don¡¯t see great growth in her legs, and upper chest. Her facial features just barely pass. Not good enough for the Harem!¡±


    He said it like, ¡°the Harem¡± was the only Harem viable to be officially classed as a Harem. The man gave a snort, when he thought about this planet and all the low quality females.


    Ri felt unpleasant with his action, and had a crumpled face while looking at him. Baohu could only think how unruly Ri is.


    This was her character, which would make him also admire her in his heart.


    Mysterious expert looked a little annoyed and dejected, as he was about to walk away when his body in motion came to a halt. He wasn¡¯t concentrating particularly on Wenrou, but he noticed the boy had moved to his knees and had his eyes glued on him.


    He looked over, with it moved a fierce gaze able to carry a gale wind, penetrating deep into Wenrous mind sending him reeling. But to his shock, he regained his balance and continued to look directly at this mysterious man¡¯s eyes!


    He looked a little surprised and amused. ¡°His willpower is astonishing...¡±


    He looked like a hidden expert underneath the bamboo hat, couple with his black robes. Wenrou could only have respect in his heart. ¡°This man he is special!¡± is all Wenrou could think, unwilling to waste a second! He would imprint this man in his heart.


    Somebody strong enough to protect the weak, this to Wenrou was already the most amazing person.


    The longer Wenrou looked at him, the more strain was accumulating and very quickly his vision became blurry and darkened slightly. However, he was unwilling to remove this man from his gaze.


    Suddenly his vision went blank, an abyss of darkness followed by the feeling of a palm covering his eyes.


    He could feel somebody blocking his vision, knowing it wasn¡¯t Baohu¡¯s wrinkly old man hands, or Ri¡¯s young soft skinned hands, the more he thought the more his heart began to race, he knew¡­ it could only be the mysterious man!


    His heart was pounding so loud it was about to fly out of his chest! His breathing became extremely ragged almost in sync with his heart beats, his mouth dry as desert. He was scared to swallow the saliva building in his mouth.


    Ri looked unsightly thinking quietly in her head ¡°is he going to hurt Wenrou?¡± clenching her firsts as she thought of the possibilities of what the man of such calibre could do to somebody like Wenrou.


    Her Qi was circulating from her abdomen, silently moving towards her legs, passing through her blood stream and seeping in to her feet¡¯s sole and bones, preparing to rush to Wenrous aid if the situation turned grim.


    Baohu, of to the side had a sensitive aura. Ri being in the beginner stages wasn¡¯t able to contain her Qi and some lingered around her which startling him awake. He could only laugh, this young lady didn¡¯t think things through. He just tapped Ri on the back and quietly said ¡°If he wanted to hurt Wenrou, from that distance even if, I myself moved Wenrou would be dead. Don¡¯t worry Ri, This man is no threat. If Wenrou continued to look at him, his eyes would eventually darken and he would be forever blind in grimacing pain as the technique this man is utilising is Bu Zhide.


    Baohu continued, taking this as an opportunity to teach Ri ¡°the longer one maintained visual contact with the other party, Qi would eventually seep into your eyes. This Qi would then solidify into small drops of substance that has sharp properties similar to that of brittle metal that would sit inside your eyes for an eternity. Even though this technique is made to inflict damage upon the enemy nobody would be able to endure that acute pain in their eyes  The man is protecting Wenrou, not harming him.¡±


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Ri felt a little satisfied, and now looked curiously at this expert. Now that Wenrou is not in any danger she wanted to know more.


    She looked at her grandpa with a sweet girl attitude and asked extremely politely, ¡°How does one counter this technique? Even I am unable to look that man for more than a few mere breaths.. so how is Wenrou able to look for so long?¡±


    Her question changed to another question, as she thought about how long Wenrou was able to keep staring at this expert in the eyes. Baohu knew the only way to ever calm Ri was to show her a new technique, or to tell her about fascinating Qi battles between man and beast. She was just like a child in this regard, making him remember somebody which put a giant smile on his face.


    The more Baohu smiles the higher up his prickly mustache would rise giving, making his smile seem extremely malicious if one never knew this man they would be quick to judge him as a villain.


    He just continued by slapping below Ris bum, making her legs collapse and her bum landing on the cart. She didn¡¯t even care about her grandpa¡¯s actions, but was just too damn curious about the technique! ¡°The only way to counter a technique as such, is to setup a Domain, or to protect your eyes with Qi. His technique is an old technique, passed down from emperor to emperor. From sect master to sect master. It is a technique that wastes Qi and was used by royalty to stop the masses of common folk looking them directly in the eyes. As for Wenrou, that boy has willpower to continue looking him directly in the eyes¡±


    Baohu just looked over, seeing Ri listening so intently gave him an aura of profundity he could teach kids about Qi Techniques all day long. Talking about the subject would fill him with great pleasure, and then he would feed them his delicious cooking. To him this was a dream, if he could make Ri listen so well, he could make anybody listen! He would heckle and slap his knee when he thought like this, it was truly too amusing to him!


    However, he would easily scare the children to death before they could learn about Qi every time he smiled.


    As soon as both granddaughter and grandfather started to talk about Qi and Abilities it was like they entered their own little world. They forgot that nearly mere moments ago Wenrou almost became blind.


    --


    The man covering Wenrous eyes looked slightly annoyed to have helped him. ¡°Who are you?¡± he asked.


    To which Wenrou replied quietly ¡°Wenrou greets senior¡± while he cupped his hands. He knew to be respectful towards this man, he had stopped Ra¡¯win from beating him up.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you fight back? Why did you resign yourself to defeat so early?¡± His question was not about humiliating Wenrou, but Wenrou couldn¡¯t help feel angry at the question.


    Wenrou just worded out emotionlessly ¡°I have no Qi to fight back. My body is a degenerate¡¯s body, if I had the power¡­¡±


    Wenrous palm had moved next to his knees, his palms flat on the ground with each word his palm got tighter till his hand was in a fist that dug into the soil.


    ¡°If I had the power. I would never shirk away, I would never resign myself to a dogs beating. I would instead stand up for myself!¡± His voice growing louder and louder, more assure of himself!


    The man couldn¡¯t see past his palm to look at Wenrous eyes, but he could tell this kid had been through a lot. This was the first time he sore somebody without the ability to draw in Qi, nor manipulate the essence of the world.


    Wenrou couldn¡¯t help taking the initiative, even if it meant to be rude! He asked before too long had passed ¡°What is seniors name if I may ask?¡±


    ¡°Laohu¡±¡­ ¡°Leiming Laohu¡± he replied softly. Leiming closed his eyes for a moment, as he began to open his eyes, he also removed his palm from covering Wenrous vision. However, unlike before Wenrou didn¡¯t feel any pain looking at this man¡¯s eyes.


    Staring into his eyes, his eyes were cold and detached and gave the feeling of immense power. Wenrou had only envy in his heart. If only he could be given the chance to be like him he would take it!


    Leiming had been crouched in front of Wenrou for far too long. He now swiftly got up, positioning his bamboo hat to cover more than half his features again, he prepared to set off. However, before he began to walk, Wenrou jumped up and shot past him!


    Leiming looked slightly annoyed again, looking at Wenrou kneeling in front of him. This is what happens when he saves retarded kids, they wish to follow him and praise him, and flatter him and ask him, to go and save their beloved family or mother from their wicked father. Sometimes it would be bring their mothers who ran away back home.


    He just snorted, and began to move away from Wenrou. Again! Wenrou moved again this time kneeling even more, his head digging into the ground trying to show this man utmost respect. He shouted ¡°Senior Laohu!¡±

 Chapter 11: I will not beg fate!

    Wenrou kept forcing his head inch by inch into the ground.


    Leiming seeing this, just moved past this time if he was to block his path


    again, he would beat him up just as bad as the other boy.


    ¡­


    As Leiming was walking past, Wenrou could feel that this was


    his final chance. He had to do something, or he would never be able to break


    the binds that wrapped around his life suffocating him every day.


    ¡°Do you know what it is to be alone?¡± Wenrou¡¯s voice sounded


    out, it wasn¡¯t strong nor weak. It resounded in everybody¡¯s ears, as somebody


    was done injustice by the heavens themselves.


    Leiming upon hearing Wenrous voice, slowed down he didn¡¯t


    completely stop. His distance from Wenrou was only measly few metres. He didn¡¯t


    turn around, he kept looking away. Neither Wenrou or anybody else could see his


    face. However, if they could see his face they would see a look of contemplation,


    and a flicker of deep longing in his eyes.


    Leiming looking away, began to speak. His voice was


    completely calm and tranquil not a speck of emotion contained within it ¡°To


    have been surrounded with loved ones is a gift from the heavens...¡± as Leiming


    was going to continue, Wenrou cut him off.


    ¡°To keep them close by is dependent on how much you love


    them. Your determination to suffer, so that they never have to suffer.¡± Leiming


    looked down at the ground as he heard Wenrou¡¯s words. Feeling the solid dirt


    beneath his feet, feeling his foot press into the earth. It was like the words


    took him back to another time.


    ¡°I ran away from home, because I was ashamed I would never


    have the ability to protect the people I loved. I left my loved ones behind,


    because I wasn¡¯t strong enough to stand in front of them. I never wished to be


    protected if I could not protect them.¡± As Wenrou continued to say that, he


    turned his head to gaze at Baohu and Ri.


    Ri seeing Wenrous sorrowful gaze, felt a heavy pain in her heart.


    Wenrou continued whilst looking Ri in her eyes ¡°Grandpa


    Baohu, and Ri are leaving this planet in a few months¡¯ time. I will be left


    alone again.¡± Ri hearing this, and seeing Wenrous sorrowful gaze as if, he was


    saying I am sorry I cannot share your burden with you. I am sorry for being


    weak! Seeing Wenrou like this, Ri had to avert her gaze, it was too painful


    hiding this from Wenrou! But, somehow he already knew the truth.


    ¡°I often ask myself when will the pain go away? The truthful


    answer to that question is, never. Pain is like an ocean; it changes intensity


    with each wave coming to shore.¡±


    As Wenrou¡¯s final words came crashing out, he slowly stood


    up and moved into a bowing position. ¡°Master Leiming. Will you teach me? Just


    like you, I want to have the ability to protect my loved ones and take care of


    my own problems. I have been told since birth, that I will never attain the


    constitution to practice martial arts, and that my essence accumulation has


    never began. Although, I have been told that, I never gave up the notion that


    one day! One day I will break my fate! I have never begged fate, not once. Fate


    gave me this type of body, so I will never beg it! I will instead break it! The


    only person, I am willing to beg is you Master Leiming!


    With each word sounding out it was like an ocean tidal wave,


    as it continued each wave was getting stronger and more resolute.


    The more Leiming listened, the more he was entranced. He couldn¡¯t


    move from his spot; he was long fixed unable to move in fear that if he did, he


    would break the atmosphere. These words were especially familiar to him.


    Baohu was shocked to have heard that Wenrou knew about them


    leaving in a few months¡¯ time. He was constantly trying to find a good time to


    Wenrou, but was unable to break this boys heart. As a kind man, he didn¡¯t like


    to hurt innocent people, but somehow Wenrou already knew! He could only feel


    bitter, maybe Wenrou resented him a little for not telling him straight away,


    man to man. But what is done is done.


    Leiming, just twisted his head to the right, half his face


    showing he began to speak ¡°Your words are true to your soul. I felt your


    painful soul touch me. Your pain is deep, but talking is different to action. Are


    you responsible to your words? You must have the will to die if you plan to


    train under me!¡±


    ¡°I have had the will to die since I came to terms with my


    body. What I will not allow is to die a dogs¡¯ death!¡± Wenrous gaze became


    fierce, like a trapped tiger in a cage. Waiting to break free!


    ¡°We will see. Bid your farewell to the people behind you. I


    am waiting up ahead on the cliff. I¡¯ll give you a few hours, do not rush


    yourself.¡± With that Leiming, continued up ahead. Knocking his hat even lower


    to cover more of his face, he trotted towards the cliffs ahead of him.


    Baohus eyebrows knitted together, thinking to himself ¡°He


    can help Wenrou? What does this mean?¡±


    Wenrou felt a cold sweat rush over him. This was the first


    time he was given true hope to do something with his life that had meaning! He


    was ecstatic, but before he could realise any of his other feelings, he turned


    to look towards the cart where Baohu and Ri was situated at.


    ¡°Wenrou? You knew already? How?¡± Ri asked, her voice was


    extremely quiet and contained a hint of displeasure.


    ¡°We usually sell the dead beast carcasses and other goods,


    where Grandpa Baohu always takes the earnings to spread evenly between us, and


    this was the case up until a few months ago. I noticed Grandpa Baohu, had begun


    to place all the earnings into just my sack. At first, I thought nothing about


    it, it wasn¡¯t until I heard Grandpa Baohu. A few months ago, Grandpa Baohu got


    out of his bed and sat close by me. I heard him mutter it to himself then, he


    thought I was asleep but I wasn¡¯t. I wasn¡¯t able to sleep as well, because I


    felt something wrong, something different in the air, something different


    beneath me in the ground and inside me all day like a worm moving about inside


    my stomach. When I heard Grandpa Baohu, I knew why I was restless, it seemed


    even you guys were unwilling to stay on this planet.¡±


    Baohu had an apologetic look plastered over his face. Ri


    looked sorry as well. Baohu understanding the situation started to speak, but


    coughing first as a way to break the tension ¡°Wenrou, I¡¯m sorry. It is just


    that there was no way for us to include somebody innocent into our world.¡±


    Wenrou seeing the apologetic continued ¡°Grandpa Baohu I do


    not blame you guys at all. You have even taken me in, and helped me out. You


    never looked down at me, not once. You held me at the same level as Ri. I am


    just sorry; I am not strong enough to repay your kindness.¡±


    Ri was extremely quiet, and looked displeased at her


    Grandpa. She said extremely quiet manner ¡°Grandpa, can you give me my bag of


    holding now? I am at the final stages of my 7th stage, I wish to


    give Wenrou some gifts before I never see him again¡±


    Baohu seeing, how resolute and firm Ri was could only


    comply. He knew she wanted to tell Wenrou herself, but she didn¡¯t have that chance


    anymore. He took out two small pouches, and handed them to Ri. They were small


    and brown, with a mini rope binding on the mouth of the pouch keeping it


    closed. ¡°One is for Wenrou, his accumulated earnings for staying with us.¡±


    With that Ri grabbed them with a quick swoop and jumped over


    to Wenrou. ¡°Oi. Let us depart!¡± She had seemingly returned to her jubilant


    self. Wenrou upon seeing her usual mannerisms kick in, could only feel pleased


    that she no longer felt sad about the whole ordeal.


    --


    It took a few minutes for Wenrou and Ri to disappear. They


    moved through the overpasses and out of the mountainous area, making their way


    to a small forest nearby. It wasn¡¯t big, but it was big enough to be secluded


    for people to speak.


    Wenrou kept following Ri closely, he never thought it but he


    was going to miss her annoy him, or to call his name the way she did.


    Following behind, his gaze would linger on her long hair


    bouncing and swaying behind her. He had taken her looks for granted, but now


    that their time was near to the final farewell, he noticed more things about


    her. The way she would joke with him, how she ate her food all lady-like in the


    forest and how he could get her angry by just being himself.


    While moving through the small forest, Ri didn¡¯t know how to approach Wenrou now that they were


    alone. She was usually the strong one, but had no idea what to do now nor the


    courage.


    Wenrou, taking the initiative he moved to grab her arm,


    where they touched she felt scared and excited at the same time. He stopped her


    movements, and he moved in front of her. Looking straight into her deep green


    Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.eyes, he could feel losing himself. This close in was akin to being lost in a


    green moonlit pearl.


    ----


    After a few breaths, Wenrou, feeling the courage building within he started ¡°I


    won¡¯t say goodbye to you. This isn¡¯t the end; I will see you again one day.¡±


    Then he slowly let go, his hand floating down her arm, slightly touching her gently their


    palms gradually touched feeling each others sweaty palms, finally their fingers slightly retracted unwilling to let go.


    He walked slightly away letting go slowly, looking around the forest, Ri had a bashful


    expression. Ri didn¡¯t like the feeling of being embarrassed or shy. She could


    only look at Wenrou, he had a weak constitution and always joked about with her,


    but he had become her best friend over the years. Her only friend. She touched


    his back, with her palm with a bit of force pushing him into a tree.


    ¡°Hehe. If I never knew you, I would think you are a great


    man right now.¡±


    Both felt a little relieved now, the atmosphere a moment ago


    was quite intense and left them with weird feelings inside. Wenrou hugging the


    tree he was pushed into, just wryly laughed and continued ¡°What I will miss the


    most is Grandpa Baohus cooking.¡±


    ¡°EEE? What about me?¡± She grabbed the back of his hair, and


    gently pulled it back. Not willing to hurt him too much. Wenrou feeling his


    hair being pulled back, let go of the tree, twisting his body he came into


    close proximity with Ri, hugging her immediately. His head following the ricochet


    of his body, also entered her hot zone.


    ¡®Puck¡¯


    ¡°AHHH! What was that for!?¡± Ri asked, extremely surprised by


    Wenrou being straightforward. He had never been like this before. She didn¡¯t


    know what to think or feel¡­


    ¡°Most of the time I was being hit, and humiliated was because


    the boys in the class would see me leave everyday accompanying you. So all the


    beatings, some of it you are responsible! You owe this to me!¡±


    Ris hands had moved to land on Wenrous chest seemingly her


    final barrier to stop Wenrou¡¯s advances. Ri wasn¡¯t going to push him away. This


    was the only boy she had this much contact with. No matter how strong Ri is,


    she still wanted to experience what it felt like to kiss, what it felt like to


    be held. Ri would grant him this moment, she moved in closer, her hot breath


    brushing past him, him inhaling her beautiful scent. Ri feeling Wenrous pounding


    chest.


    She closed in, their lips interlocking beneath the forest


    lit up by the suns blazing red colour, the leaves falling around them, they


    stayed interlocked for a few breaths. Their tongues swimming in each others mouth, unwilling


    to part. Ri didn¡¯t quite understand what was happening, but she enjoyed this


    feeling.


    Wenrou felt uncontrollable, the more he kept touching her


    the less he wanted to let go. He was a 17-year-old male, first time kissing a


    girl, such a beautiful girl at that. He felt this lust, washing over him,


    unwilling to let go.


    His arms like starving tree roots that found water, wrapping


    more and more around Ri¡¯s waist.


    After what seemed like a long time had passed, Ri pulled


    back, but their heads never parted. Holding each other trying to process what


    happened she could only say looking at the ground below, whilst clearing her


    throat ¡°Ahem. before me and Grandpa leave. I want to pass you some stuff. Since


    you¡¯re a freeloader, you will need some stuff to take care of yourself.¡±


    Wenrou waking up, felt extremely shy especially when he saw


    a rosy ting covering Ri¡¯s face. He pulled back, moving his right hand to lift


    Ri¡¯s face, taking another long glance into her eyes before he continued ¡°What


    is it?¡±


    ¡°This bag of holding. It is a magical pouch, upon slapping


    it with Qi you will be able to access its contents. Although, if you are never


    able to activate your Meridians to circulate Qi, pass it to your new master to


    help you opening it. However, you must tell him not to look at the contents.


    Only to open it, to allow you to access some of the items in there. I can¡¯t


    name everything but there is a few pellets and pills to help you, when needed.¡±


    Ri looked a little unsure towards the end of her speech, she


    looked back up meeting Wenrous gaze for gaze


    ¡°There is a medallion in there. It is of a Lion, sitting


    above a pool with the reflection of the moon in it. You must keep the medallion


    safe at all times. If you make it to the Alliance planets, and your ever alone


    all you will need to do is show that medallion.¡±


    "Oh, you must add blood to link it to yourself!" Ri added extremely fast.


    Wenrou could only nod. He had never seen what most of these


    things look like. His arms still holding Ri tightly, he moved in again. This


    time it wasn¡¯t for a kiss, but just to hold her. His head landing on her


    shoulder he looked sad ¡°We must go now, the sky has darkened, the forest looks


    cold and empty. I don¡¯t wish to say farewell in this desolate forest. Let us


    return.¡±


    Ri looked a little reluctant, but could only nod this was


    the only time she had seen Wenrou vulnerable, he looked like his true self in


    this moment. She could only comply as her Grandpa will leave tonight with her.


    In her mind, she knew that Wenrous case was forever set in stone, he would


    never be able to cultivate or practice martial arts. Maybe this Master Leiming,


    would just protect Wenrou for a period of time. Long enough for him to find his


    way in the world.


    Making their way back to the cart. Ri had parted from his


    side, moving closer to the cart. She looked up at Baohu ¡°Grandpa, I am ready to


    leave tonight¡± Baohu only nodded in confirmation.


    ¡°Wenrou, let us say our farewells as well.¡± Saying that


    Baohu, lightly stepped moving right in front of Wenrou. Wenrou seeing this,


    could only suck in cold air, this old man was dangerous as well. Maybe no less


    than his Master!


    Baohu within arms distance of Wenrou, threw his arms out


    gesturing Wenrou to come in close and hug him. However, the moment he did he


    felt a cold chill pass through his spine, then he heard Baohus chilling voice


    enter his ears ¡°If you have hurt my granddaughter, I would castrate you right


    here and now boy¡±


    Wenrou just looked back disbelievingly, upon seeing Baohus half-closed


    gaze, and his rusted metalic like moustache gave him a feeling of deep fear.


    Added with his, disgusting human features made Baohu look like a toad demon.


    Then Baohu continued ¡°I know you are a good boy,


    hehehehehehe. I would never castrate you here in front of Ri hahahaha.¡± His


    gaze turning more relaxed, he patted Wenrous head which looked like it was


    about to roll off from sheer fear.


    ¡°I will miss you Wenrou. You have always been generous and,


    even though Ri kissed you, you still had the mind to let her go. You never


    asked for more than we gave you, and I do hope in the future we will meet


    again. For now, you must forge your own path. Create your own fate!¡±


    Saying that with an aura of profundity, Baohu closed his


    eyes and approached Wenrou with his lips puckered out. Wenrou seeing this tried


    to struggle, trying to push this toad like man with all his strength, but it


    was to no avail his voice sounded out involuntarily ¡°ahhhhh, help me! Ri!¡±


    Ri seeing this only giggled.


    Baohus lips landed firmly on Wenrous lips, this man was just


    too devious. Wenrous mind began to cry out in shock just what kind of diseases


    he contracted just of this type of connection!


    All Wenrou could think is ¡°will I turn into a toad!?¡±


    Baohu pulled back with a mischievous smile, that was


    punishment for taking my granddaughters first kiss! With that, he slapped


    Wenrou on the shoulders, and looked at him thoughtfully for another second.


    With a slight nod, he moved away, walking back to the cart and getting ready to


    make preparations for tonight.


    ¡°Farewell Wenrou!¡±


    ¡°Bye Freeloader!¡±


    As they both made off, Ri could only look back feeling sour


    inside. Saying goodbyes, was the worst thing, she then looked back at her


    Grandpa and said in a trembling voice ¡°Grandpa, you will never leave me right?¡±


    He could only laugh, he bumped shoulders with her, nodding


    in confirmation that he will always be by her side.


    Seeing them move into the endless night, the sky was lonely


    no stars to accompany it tonight. The raging red sun in space looked unruly


    just like Ri.


    Looking towards the horizon, his master was waiting for him.


    Each step he took, felt like the shackles that fate had branded on him, began


    to shake off him. His body feeling slightly lighter with each step.

 Chapter 12: The waterfall where it all began!

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 12: The waterfall where it all began!


    Leiming who was in a meditative position, gazing at the vast land beneath lost in thought.


    ¡°Father? His words? Was it a coincidence? How could he have known the words you told me when talking about mother?¡± His face looked confused, yet serene. Leiming stayed in a meditative position viewing the vast land, and how beautiful it looked from this cliff. The land from below and the rocky mountains with the blazing sun landing beautifully on the rose, jade like flush forests below made the view spectacular, giving it a peculiar glow that could bewitch a man for hours.


    Wenrou approaching, his footsteps heavy and joyful. His arms swinging by his sides, trying to generate enough strength to allow him to climb this slightly steep cliff.


    He approached behind Leiming, without second thought he interrupted ¡°Master, I am ready now. Let us begin to train!¡±


    Leiming hearing Wenrous voice, just leaned back, rotating his head back 180% to see Wenrou behind him without a speck of politeness or obedience to his ¡®so called master¡¯.


    Leiming just looked at Wenrou from top to bottom, sizing him up with a look of dissatisfaction. ¡°Who is your master? Before I take you under my tutelage, you need to be responsible to your words. Are you ready?¡± His gaze transforming from serene to sinister in seconds.


    Wenrou seeing this change, felt his scalp go numb. He could only gulp and nod in return. What did he get himself into?


    ¡°Let us begin then. Hold on tightly. Ban Ban wake up!¡± With that mighty shout, Leiming stomped his right foot¡­


    Wenrou could only feel the land beneath his feet begin to shake, the skies rocked upside down, left and right! ¡°WAHHHHH! WHATS GOING ON¡± Wenrous scream came flooding out extremely panicked!


    ¡°RARARARARARARARA!! HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!!¡± A voice came booming out, hoarse and deep, followed by an extremely loud sound of a massive chunk of land detaching itself from the rocky cliffs, seemingly alive! Wenrou twisting and turning on the rocky land, before falling of felt Leiming catch him.


    Leiming smiling deviously at Wenrou ¡°Meet Ban Ban. Don¡¯t look so frightened boy, he is harmless.¡±


    ¡°What... What is it?!¡± His voice confused and shocked, the sounds from this beast sounded human like but also degenerate, could it really be alive?! He looked around disbelievingly, rubbing his eyes unable to comprehend such a beast.


    ¡°Sit down and hold on to a piece of long grass. Ban Ban is a rock fish.  Just like a rock fish, he has the power to manipulate earth and wind, he is able to traverse both elements like a fish in the water. His species is extremely rare, almost extinct, for you to have not witnessed one before, is quite natural.¡±


    With that Leiming sat down, crossing his arms, and entering his meditative state once again.


    Wenrou was extremely confused and curious, his questions flowed out without end ¡°It can speak?! It can fly!? How big is it!?¡±


    Leiming couldn¡¯t avoid such questions, Ban Ban without question is a rare species and would attract everybody¡¯s attention. He could only answer Wenrous questions ¡°Ban Ban isn¡¯t able to speak the human tongue, he is still a baby but his mind will never outgrow the way it is. Even when he becomes an adult, he will still act like a child. Rock Fish are kind in nature, they speak through the manipulation of the elements.¡±


    ¡°The rock fish species, mainly develop the abilities of sage like grandmasters being able to grow two seeds since birth making them extremely special. These elements are mainly water and earth. However, there is a special type with the ability to fly, such as this one. He is one of a kind.¡± Leiming finished his speech, patting it with his right hand, seemingly proud of Ban Ban.


    ¡°There is enough room for about 5-6 people, Ban Ban doesn¡¯t like it when too many ride him though. He has feelings as well! Ban Ban, let¡¯s head over to the place where you have your bath! Also I have a new friend for you to play with!¡± With that Leiming, slapped him once again sending vibrations through Ban Ban¡¯s body!


    ¡°RARARARARARARARARA¡± Ban Ban upon hearing he had a new friend, was unable to contain his excitement a large pink tongue came out the size of two men put together, as he twisted in mid-air flying to the designated bath location!


    Wenrou was still way to confused. ¡®What the fuck is this thing?!¡¯ is all he could think in his mind. It looked way to scary, it looked like a giant smooth pebble that he would throw, and skim across the lakes when he was a kid. Further examining


    Ban Ban, he could see it had about four tails swirling in the air, what seemed like it kept them afloat and propelling in the air! What was odd, was that the swirling tails, and didn¡¯t disrupt the air at all, moving through and around the air so calm and smooth.


    Ban Ban looked green on the top side, with vegetation growing, if he never saw this beast fly today, he would think it was just a normal piece of land!


    Wenrou managed to calm down after a period of time, remembering what his master said earlier ¡°Master, where are we going, and what is the final task I must do?!¡±


    Leiming just ignored the additional advances Wenrou made. Seemingly, doing enough teaching today by explaining Ban Ban!


    Soon a mountain began to coalesce in the distance, and a little while later the violent, turbulent sounds of water crashing into rock and lake surrounded the area. Wenrou noticing this, looked up to see a familiar place. It was the waterfall that separated the upper and lower half of the planet, remembering how he met Ri and Grandpa Baohu, he didn¡¯t look at the waterfall with anger, but slightly elated.


    Soon before Ban Ban descended, Leiming got up abruptly signalling Ban Ban to just hover in the air for a little while. He turned to look at Wenrou, his expression was slightly grim thinking to himself ¡®this is it boy. Prove to me, don¡¯t disappoint me!¡±


    ¡°Wenrou, to train under me is to be prepared to die. You see how far we are up from the ground?¡±


    Wenrou had a bad premonition ¡°Yes, we are quite far up. What are we doing here, master?¡± his words were filled with confusion.


    ¡°You have to jump into the waterfall below.¡± His words extremely fast, and clear. No room for negotiation!


    Wenrou just grit his teeth, voicing his concerned thoughts ¡°But why? What is the point of jumping from this height, I am not a good swimmer and perhaps, I¡¯ll die before I even reach the lake! What is the point in this?¡±


    ¡°Are you so dumb, you make me repeat my words? You must be prepared to die! If you won¡¯t jump, you don¡¯t have the gall nor the spirit to train under me!¡±


    With that Leiming, looked extremely furious he continued berating Wenrou ¡°What a fucking waste of time. Why did I bother with you?¡± Leiming began to move to the edges looking the opposite side to Wenrou, unwilling to put this useless person in his gaze.


    Ban Ban hearing the harsh tone was able to understand the situation wasn¡¯t as joyful as earlier and cried out in sadness ¡°rurururuuuuu¡­.¡±


    Wenrou gritting his teeth further, I already fell down here once. I have nothing to lose, except this trash life! ¡°All I have to do is jump? And you will take me on as your student?¡±


    Without waiting for consent, he rushed to the edges of Ban Ban facing the waterfall. Without thinking ahead, or considering the possibilities that this could be death he clenched his jaw, closed his eyes and launched himself off!


    ¡°¡­!¡± An expression of shock plastered across Leimings face, followed by a grin.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t wrong!¡±


    Ban Ban seeing Wenrou jump off, wished to follow him by stopping his flight and diving behind Wenrou ¡°HIHIHIHIHI¡±


    ¡°Not yet friend, few more breaths. He mustn¡¯t cry out in help! He must be prepared to die!¡± Leiming, clenching his hands, this was the spirit that would make a master martial artist or break one! If you couldn¡¯t break this boundary, you would never break it no matter how strong you are!


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Wenrou was hurling towards the lake, the crashing sounds of the waterfall hitting the lake kept growing and growing. Soon his mind, reeled in thoughts thinking of his mother and how he left her behind and all these years he never thought about going back to say how sorry he was. The day he ran away from home, how he left Jie crying and didn¡¯t comfort him.


    ¡®Am I really going to die with such heavy regrets?¡¯ The wind blasting into his face, he was unable to make any movements, this fast descent left him immobile. Even if he wanted to cry out in help, it was too late. He just closed his eyes, clenching his hands harder!


    Feeling himself approaching the ground his body let out an involuntary roar ¡°AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGG!!¡±


    ¡°Now! BAN BAN CATCH HIM!¡± Leiming, close to the head of Ban Ban stomped powerfully, resonating a high vibration telling Ban Ban the situation is dire! They must catch him before he crashes!


    Ban Ban energized gave out a cry of power ¡°RARARARARARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡± HIS BODY INSTANTLY DROPPING LIKE A COMET, LIKE A CHAIN ATTACHED TO WENROU HE WAS ENCLOSING INCH BY INCH, INSTANTLY IT BECAME METRE BY METRE! Wenrou 15 metres above the lake surface, his roar resounding out as if it would help him eclipse the pain he would feel by crashing into the lake!


    ¡°RAAAAAAAAA¡± BAN BANS MOUTH OPENING UP, HE WAS JUST UP BEHIND WENROU! WHAT SEEMED LIKE A GIANT PINK ROCK CAME RUSHING OUT, WRAPPING AROUND WENROU LIKE A CACOON AND PULLING HIM STRAIGHT BACK IN TO HIS MOUTH!


    A heavy crash sounded out, as a giant beast smashed into the lake surface ¡®CHICHIHIHIIIII¡­¡¯


    A few moments later, just a bit further ahead, a beast emerged on the surface ¡®CHACHAHCAAA¡¯


    Ban Ban came flying out of the water, and landing on the grass land near the lake!


    Leiming, drenched wet, looked unsightly, but was pleased his student didn¡¯t cry like a baby! This boy! Then he stomped Ban Ban which seemed to hurt him, ¡°Let him out you baby! He isn¡¯t going anywhere!¡±


    Soon Ban Ban, just opened his mouth, his blocks of teeth that looked like giant white concrete walls opened up, releasing his giant pink tongue and out came Wenrou!


    Wenrou was shocked, scared stiff! Before his crash he felt something disgusting and smelly encapsulate him! He turned around to only piece things together. Realizing Ban Ban¡¯s giant white concrete teeth and pink tongue just about ready to wrap him up again put him into a state of terror! ¡®AHHH¡¯ he cried out in shock in his mind, seemingly lost his voice to say anything!


    Ban Ban could feel Wenrou displeased with his tongue, he just voiced his discontent ¡°ryryryryry¡± as if nothing to worry about. His mouth is clean!


    Before Wenrou could continue, Leiming approached him. ¡°You crazy boy¡­ You really jumped, most would be unable to jump with a single though, and you never cried once from that distance. Go clean up, we can talk a bit later, when you don¡¯t smell.¡± Leiming announcing his displeasure at the end, waving his hand in a fashion to blow away the smell from Wenrou.


    Ban Ban looked down at Wenrou his tongue slapping onto the backside of Wenrou, pulling him in and jumping over to the lake and spitting him into the water ¡®PAAAAA¡¯.


    This act seemed to have caused Ban Ban great joy laughing immediately after ¡°HIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHIIHII¡±


    Wenrou felt pitiful, going into Ban Ban¡¯s mouth wasn¡¯t so much fun. This was the second time, but for some reason he felt like it wasn¡¯t going to be the last time! He could only get up, and undress moving closer to the waterfall to clean himself. Feeling the water overhead pouring made him feel slightly refreshed¡­ but soon the water stopped coming from above.


    ¡°Eh?¡± Looking up, his expression became extremely ugly.


    ¡°This goddamn beast! What the hell he is cleaning himself up above! What a cheater!¡± Wenrou had enough, he began to shout his discontent at the situation, and however it fell on death ears.


    Ban Ban was just cleaning himself, feeling the crashing water made him happier than most, moving into a position to drink all the water flooding into his giant mouth he could slightly hear Wenrou but just had the mind-set that he was the first student! The senior gets the best water!


    --


    After a long awhile later.


    Wenrou was passed new clothing from Leiming, wearing it he slightly felt much more profound.


    The garments was extremely comfy, and was still a bit baggy. Wenrous body wasn¡¯t fed by the Qi and Essence of the worlds, so his body was much skinnier when compared to a healthy boys who had been training since a young age. However, he had hopes that would all change, his muscles would eventually tone up, his body would be able to absorb the Qi and Essence, with much more eating he would put fat on and then transform it into muscle as he began to train!


    Wenrous hair was medium long at this point, it wasn¡¯t long where it blocked his features, so he still had that damaged but na?ve look visible to the world when he kept thinking of stuff.


    Approaching his master, who was sitting around a newly made campfire near the lake just close by where Baohu had made camp, when they met for the first time. He could feel Ban Ban¡¯s tongues shadow approaching him, before he was touched he spun lightning fast shouting ¡°NOOO! NO!¡±


    Ban Ban just cried out in displeasure ¡°Ruruu... Ruuruu!¡±


    Ban Ban made his way back to the lake, his new friend had made him sad.


    Wenrou seeing how sad Ban Ban became, felt bad. Remembering what Leiming told him, he was just like a child, he heaved a sigh. ¡°Okay, one lick only.¡± Another look of pity was expressed by him.


    Quickly a rustle of ground and leaves followed by the looming presence of the great pink tongue! ¡®sluuuuuuuuuurrpppp¡¯ a giant tongue landed flat across Wenrous front!


    With that, Ban Ban laid close to Wenrou, nudging him to sit on top of him. Where Wenrou, moved and sat cross legged on top of Ban Ban.


    Ban Ban, slowly fell asleep the events of today, had put a strain on him. He was extremely tired.


    ¡°Wenrou, what do you know about Qi and the Essence of the worlds?¡± Leiming, observing their actions, waiting for it to die down before he began to address Wenrou.


    ¡°Nothing, I tried to learn at the schools around the lower districts. However, I was usually chased out, or used as a punching bag for the other kids to train!¡± He looked angry at the notion of how he was treated!


    ¡°So you know nothing really? I¡¯ll explain the various forms to you later on. First we need to temper your body then you can slowly understand the laws of the world and the restrictions set on the body. You must understand Wenrou, your body, it isn¡¯t completely blocked off from the laws of the world, rather different laws apply to it making you unable to cultivate.¡± Leiming, closed his eyes briefly, opening them again, with an undiscernible layer of Qi, observing Wenrous body in a detailed manner.


    Viewing this body, he quickly noticed, there is a dark black hole surrounding his Dantian, it is disrupted from the world accumulating something completely different? There is no seed as well!?


    This shocked even Leiming!


    ¡°Your seed! When you said earlier that it never began to grow, you truly meant it!¡± This is... unheard of!¡±


    ¡°Yes... I never lied!¡± That is all Wenrou said. Adding nothing additional to that, that alone would make Leiming understand just how weak his body is!

 Chapter 13: The body of a 12th pulse demon!

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 13: The body of a 12th pulse demon


    ¡°Again!¡± Leiming¡¯s voice sounded out slightly impatient.


    Leiming and Wenrou, had spent the next two full days, in the process of practising breathing techniques, to forcefully open a Meridian. Although, they started out optimistic, it soon turned grim, Wenrou¡¯s body had solidified more and more over the years his body hadn¡¯t felt the movement or nutrition of Qi.


    The body since birth, should be nurtured by Qi and Essences to feed the meridians and the body, keeping it consistent with the surrounding Environment. Once the Meridians are introduced to feeding of the Qi and Essences of the world, it will stay in a wet state allowing the cultivator to continuously mould and change it in accordance to the breathing techniques they practice. However, the problem with Wenrou is that his body had solidified early on, no matter how much Qi he absorbed, wouldn¡¯t allow his Meridians to change or adapt to the Qi being introduced.


    Although, it looked more and more grim, Leiming still had many ideas on how to break the solidified mould, and revert it to a state, where it would become slightly ¡®wet¡¯ and produce a starting point where Wenrou would be able to, slightly change his Meridians bit-by-bit.


    Leiming and Wenrou where sitting in meditative positions, opposite each other. The plan was to, have Leiming draw in as much Qi as possible, without absorbing or inhaling it but just to have it silently linger around their area. Next, it was up to Wenrou, to continuously employ the breathing technique taught by Leiming and forcefully smash into his Meridians, which would in time allow the solidified Meridian to become ¡®wet¡¯ and provide Wenrou with a slight help to unlock the additional Meridian points! Since the body isn¡¯t like a piece of bread that has been burnt, or piece of concrete that has solidified. The body is made up of cells and tissues, just how you train your body will get stronger, and if you stop training it will revert slowly. The Meridians, should in theory also work like this.


    Leiming, whose eyes opened slowly, and exhaling deeply, as his gaze landed on the boy opposite him ¡°Wenrou, this isn¡¯t working. Your unable to forcefully smash open the Meridian, I will have to inspect your body with my own Qi. Only, you should know, me injecting my own Qi to inspect your body, will result in excruciating pain. Since your body hasn¡¯t felt the presence of Qi before, adding to that your muscles and tissues are extremely undeveloped due to the deficiency of Qi. However, I will try to be as gentle as possible, if you are able to endure for a few moments of breath I will be able to understand your body in greater detail... can you do it?¡±


    Wenrou just maintained his meditative position, his eyelids closing tighter. Gritting his teeth, he opened his eyes in a flash and replied with unreserved will ¡°Yes!¡± Wenrou, knew how much pain this would be, being attacked by other kids he came to understand if it hurt so much landing on his body, imagine the pain inside my body!


    ¡°Come here, and sit with your back facing me. Take your top off as well.¡± Leiming sounded slightly conflicted. This would be one of the greatest tests to Wenrou¡¯s will and spirit.


    Wenrou got up, and moved into a meditative position within arm¡¯s length of Leiming, facing away from him, removing his top garment. He closed his eyes, and immediately forced his eyes closed, his hands interlocked gripping tightly his fingers slightly cut into his hands causing pain, his jaw locked extremely tightly. He was preparing himself to the painful Qi, intrude into his body!


    Leiming placed both his palms on Wenrou¡¯s back, his fingers on Wenrou¡¯s nape, and the bottom side of his palm was on the shoulder blade. Leiming was going to use the feeling of his Qi invading Wenrou¡¯s body to guide him slowly. His eyes, would do him no good now.


    The forest fell silent, as if it was observing these two, undergoing a strenuous task, unwilling to affect their concentration.


    Feeling his Qi move from his Dantian, through his blood stream and passing through his Meridians to his fingertips, Leiming felt his Qi move through pores of the skin.


    Wenrou didn¡¯t feel much, it was like a small pin pricking at his skin... What he felt next was out his imagination.


    The Qi that started off as light as pin prick, gradually grew. It felt like an ice cold piece of rock continually growing inside him. He felt the rock solidifying within his muscles, his skin felt like it was tearing millimetre by millimetre. His teeth clenching even harder, his lips had now opened to expose his teeth that was how much pain he was feeling.


    Leiming understood the pain, however it had to be done. The Qi that expanded around the nape of the neck under the skin, began to travel in accordance with Leiming¡¯s palm slowly travelling down the back of Wenrou.


    What felt like a rock expanded between his necks, leaving Wenrou sweating profusely, his forehead creased and his jaw clenched to the extreme, now felt like the rock slowly decreased in size, but now felt like a sea of knives tearing through his innards!


    Leiming¡¯s eyes knitted together, feeling the Qi travel through the middle area of Wenrou¡¯s body left him stupefied. ¡®This body? What is it!?¡¯ that¡¯s what he was thinking, the more he travelled the more he encountered these black holes within Wenrou¡¯s body which shocked even Leiming to his core!


    ¡°These black holes! No it cannot be!¡± His face was distorted to the extreme, he looked savage right now! The more he inspected, the more he grew cautious of Wenrou. His left hand, moved extremely fast travelling up to Wenrou¡¯s left shoulder.


    To Wenrou, the feeling of Leiming moving this fast came as even more of a shock ¡°acckkkkk¡± he uncontrollably spat crimson blood, dyeing the surrounding grass into a bloody jade. It felt like a sea blizzard crashing against his internal organs. He could only cry out in pain though, even, if he wanted to break free at this moment he was utterly incapable! His body belonged to Leiming now.


    Leiming was now with disregard to the pain causing Wenrou, absorbed by his findings continued to inspect his body. He had come across four black holes around the top of the abdomen. His left hand discovered, that Wenrou had another two black holes in his arms, one in the shoulder, the other a slightly smaller black hole in his forearm.


    ¡°A total of six so far! This shouldn¡¯t be possible, to have so many spiritual pulses is... is inconceivable!¡± His breathing became ragged with this thought and the more he thought the more his control became chaotic, crazy and careless within Wenrou¡¯s body.


    ¡°Spiritual pulses are mirrored, if there is two in his left arm, there is two in his right arm! His Dantian!¡± With the shock in his heart, Leiming controlled his right hand and forcefully brushed past the internal organs coming closer to the Dantian.


    Although he was rushing to the spot, he was still taking his time inspecting, the closer he made it to the Dantian, the darker the area became. His Qi, began to lose sense of direction becoming confused inside... what happened next was out of Leiming¡¯s expectations! His Qi, was being burnt the closer it go to the inky coal black Dantian!


    This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    ¡°His Dantian. What is this? It is burning my Qi up! MY QI?!¡± Leiming as he was saying this in his mind, began to feel a pain swell up within him. His right hand close to the Dantian, was receiving severe backlash. Wenrou¡¯s Dantian was burning the Qi, which resulted in Leiming¡¯s right palm that produced that particular Qi to begin heating up slowly. However, this slowly heating up continuously quantified uncontrollably, soon it was akin to having his hand stuck in thick molten lava, and with the Qi being burnt he was unable to employ the technique to protect his palms from this unforeseen disaster!


    With a quick move, he closed of his Qi in his right hand, severing the connection with Wenrou! As his hand detached, the faint streams of his Qi was visible having turned into steam that was evaporating of off his palm. Opening his eyes, his face looked unsightly the sound of the evaporating Qi, and the pain in his palm gradually resided. The whole forest had become extremely quiet, no birds chirped. No leaves rustled in the wind... the environment could feel this extremely dark, overbearing convoluted Dantian.


    ¡°Arrgghhh!¡± Wenrou''s painfilled cry resounded in Leiming''s ears like a clap of thunder, waking him up immediately! Leiming had totally forgot about his left hand, still around Wenrou¡¯s left shoulder. He was lost in thought, losing himself in the moment of this extremely rare body. He quickly released his left hand as well.


    Wenrou looked strained to the maximum, his whole face was clenched. His veins clearly visible as if they we¡¯re forcefully emerged due to the strain put on his body. His vision gradually closed, getting darker and darker... he suddenly found himself  in a dark room, with a dark water that filled half the room. His body slowly drifted into that dark water, submerged his consciousness faded...


    Now that Wenrou was asleep, Leiming laid him down. Covering his body, he looked exhausted. Sweat was still pouring from Wenrou¡¯s forehead, as well as his other areas. The strain must have been colossal, especially the fact that Leiming accidently and forcefully rotated his Dantian must have caused a huge backlash to his body!


    Looking apologetically, he touched his head moving Wenrou onto his side. He began to slowly massage his body with Qi on the surface of the skin. Although, he looked in control he was still pondering what this body was.


    ¡°12 Spiritual pulses, this has never been witnessed before. No wonder, his body was unable to accumulate enough Qi to activate. However, that shouldn¡¯t be all the reason for blame. His body was damaged before birth, while still in the womb this must be directly linked to his mother.¡± Coming to quick conclusions, he moved on.


    ¡°His Dantian... if I am not mistaken it is hereditary... it is the Shenyuan clan! But... it is impossible! How could a single child of that clan survive!?¡±


    ¡°All of the Shenyuan clan members have been wiped out, and harvested. Or so the united allied martial arts federation must think so. There must still be a clan left... his mother or father will know the truth, but where are they?¡±


    ¡°Leiming¡± a nonchalant voice sounded out, followed by a fiery blaze that flashed past Leiming. Looking down, she saw Leiming massaging the boy, which caused her to be slightly curious.


    ¡°Have you been playing house all this time with that boy? I need help to search the upper side of the planet.¡± Her voice came out curious and sweet.


    As she descended from the sky, her boy was enveloped in a ruby glow, her hair crimson that had a faint flicker of blood red pulsating throughout. She looked like a crimson god, adorned in blood. As her body gradually neared the ground, the glow reduced her eyes revealing an entrancing gem.


    ¡°Ch¨¬h¨®ng, will you mind this boy for a day while I go out and search?¡± Leiming didn¡¯t even seem fazed, or uninterrupted at this female approaching him.


    ¡°Why should I?¡± She didn¡¯t much care for this boy, and at a single glance looked extremely dissatisfied with him.


    ¡°RURURURURUUUU¡± Ban Ban noticing, Ch¨¬h¨®ng¡¯s presence came rushing out. Before, even he was scared to disturb the atmosphere, noticing that Leiming was concentrated on Wenrou, but now it felt like the atmosphere had returned back to the usual. So he came rushing out, trying to lick Ch¨¬h¨®ng!


    In his eyes, this female was extremely pretty and looked delicious. So whenever, he saw her he would try to lick her straight away!


    Ch¨¬h¨®ng already anticipating Ban Ban, caught his big pink tongue in mid-flight pincer like fashion with her scissor like hands. ¡°Calm down you big baby! Don¡¯t lick me, I just took a bath before coming here!¡± she sounded unfazed by Ban Ban¡¯s actions. Knowing what he is like from the start to finish.


    ¡°ruuuuuuruuuuuuu¡± His tongue had a spot of purple on it, from the bruise inflicted by Ch¨¬h¨®ng¡¯s pinching. He just landed next to Wenrou, nudging him to wake up and play with him.


    ¡°Ban Ban, protect Wenrou. Don¡¯t let him wake up. He is seriously injured, his innards are convulsed. Ch¨¬h¨®ng, I will go search this time, wait here with him for a day or two.¡±


    Without waiting for her to acknowledge his proposal, a faint flicker of silvery blue shined, and he disappeared.


    ¡°Hmph, he didn¡¯t even notice the new fragrance bath I took. What a fool! Why is he always so self-absorbed...¡± she seemed displeased, looking over at Wenrou, she just moved close to him observing his body and face.


    ¡°Ban Ban, who is this boy?¡±


    Ban Ban, just staring at Wenrou, seemed to enjoy play sleeping with Wenrou, licked his face without restraint, replying to Ch¨¬h¨®ng ¡°RARARARA¡±


    ¡°Your new friend? Where did you guys find him? Ch¨¬h¨®ng was curious about this boy, and why would Leiming be interested in this boy who was clearly not talented at all.


    --


    An almost invisible silvery blue light was currently streaking across the sky.


    ¡°The Shenyuan clan is known as the clan of demons. The more spiritual pulses they activate, the further their martial prowess grows. However, the more pulses activated, the further they fall into the abyss, losing their minds in the process... the most common was seven pulses, and the previous genius of the clan has 10 pulses, but this boy has 12 pulses! There is simply one word for something like him! A demon!¡± His eyebrows knitted together, he looked distraught at the thought of his Student heralded from the Shenyuan clan!


    <hr />


    Information heavy! I hope you enjoyed the exploration of Wenrou''s body! Please let me know what you guys think so far, anything I can add or reduce to make this more interesting for you guys!


    also RARARA have a good one guys!

 Chapter 14: Unexpected turn of events

    Thundering Dragon!


    Chapter 14: Unexpected turn of events


    The sky gradually shifted from daylight to night. The planet was still warm, during the summer solstice it would keep a consistent temperature all the way through.


    Leiming was soaring through the sky, his robe fluttering in the wind. His expression wasn¡¯t anxious anymore. Leiming, travelled to the upper planet to investigate, he was in search of certain type of Qi on the planet, this Qi was hard to identify and would require pursuit.


    ¡°There is no point, worrying about Wenrou right now. I should focus on finding, the corrupted Qi on the planet, I can¡¯t waste any more time here. Who knows, when the Martial arts federation will track me to this planet, I am not prepared to fight them just yet.¡±


    Leiming arrived above Crater City. From his view, he could see the vast land beneath. The aim, is to find a master whose been affected by the cataclysm. The additional objective of the search, is to quickly dispose of the martial artist before the corrupted Qi, awakens and begins anew calamity on this particular planet.


    Hovering in the air, between the clouds looking down at the planet, Leiming was basking in the moonlight adorned by the glowing sun, opening his garment to reveal a wound on his chest, the size of a nut. Focussing his attention on the city beneath him, feeling the wind brush past him. A faint glow around his eyes, the wound that is the size of a nut, began to slowly expand.


    Extending his right arm in a relaxed palm motion, the black wound began to flow through his veins, through his meridian down to his palm. A pained expression shrouded his face, his right hand gently moving around the city, slowly being drawn to a mass accumulation of Qi. These mass accumulation of Qi, would be the schools within the area.


    --


    Chihong and Ban Ban, had rested within the area of the camp. Chihong had taken the initiative to inspect Wenrou, to her surprise, Wenrou was masked by an inky coal glow when she tried to use her eyes to see investigate his body.


    ¡°Ban Ban, are you still awake?¡±


    Ban Ban, never replied though. He had also, long fell asleep pretending to sleep play with Wenrou, and had led to the eventual inevitable sleep of his.


    --


    ¡°Where am I?¡± Wenrou, was currently fully submerged within the dark waters of the black room. His body, felt cold and he kept feeling this chill pass through every so often. He wasn¡¯t able to explain the feeling, it just felt like he shouldn¡¯t be here at all. It felt wrong.


    The further he descended, the colder it got. The further he drifted away, the more it felt like there was these invisible hands pulling him in to an unfathomable, bottomless hole. However, what seemed like forever, slowly stopped he felt a suction from below, the dark water was constantly rotating around a sphere.


    Wenrou¡¯s most senses where obscured, although he felt like that something willed erupted within him. A burning sensation from his abdomen, looking down he say a tiny black flame. Seeing this flame though, he didn¡¯t feel any pain... it was just there.


    The closer he drifted to the sphere, the more his consciousness began to fade. He was soon, completely drowsy unable to even look straight ahead an extreme amount of need to sleep intoxicated his mind and body. Wenrou surrendered himself.


    His eyes closed, soon he kept being pulled closer into the dark rotation...


    --


    ¡°Eh?¡± Chihong, was slightly startled by the turn of events. Wenrou¡¯s face looked extremely grim, his body was profusely sweating. The covers thrown over him, already soaked to the extreme.


    Chihong jumped up, and removed the blanket. The moment she removed the blanket, it was like a dark spark within Wenrou¡¯s Dantian erupted, his body looked pained and twisted from the inside. Suddenly, Chihong felt her pouch rattle violently.


    ¡°What is going on?¡± She slapped her pouch, and out came a nail sized pill. The moment the pill entered the area, the trees slightly stressed towards it, the air immediately began to draw around this pill, the plants and vegetation in the area swayed back and forth.


    The earth also trembled, bulging closer and closer to an epicentre. At the epicentre, was this pill? The whole planet, was shaken, trembling from within to the surface.


    ¡°Ahhh? Earthquake!?¡± Many cries of shock began to fill the various cities on Yin Long Planet.


    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s go into the underground shelters! Grab the essentials only fast, fast!!¡± Alarmed citizens began to execute their own personal safety measures.


    ¡°This pill has finally reacted to something after all these years? But, why him? I don¡¯t understand!¡±


    Wenrou¡¯s body was beginning to twist, and coil around his own abdomen. His veins now as clear and thick as tree roots. His face extremely darkened in pain, his body arcing of the ground, his body pressing hard into the ground. He wasn¡¯t crying out in pain, just grunting.


    ¡°ANHHHHH¡±


    ¡°NMHHHHHMHHHHHHH¡± depraved sounds kept coming forth from within his closed mouth. He kept tossing and turning, his body was in immense pain, but he wasn¡¯t awake to fully realize the pain.


    His mind was still submerged in the water, just listlessly attached to the inky coal sphere, which was now attached to his abdomen, his body wrapped around that small sphere unwilling to it go!


    The pill within Chihong¡¯s hand, was now fighting her grip at every inch and quarter, wishing to be released. However, she wasn¡¯t willing to let go, forcefully enduring the pull and tug and keeping it within her hand!


    ¡°RUUUU!¡± Ban Ban awoke, and seeing the depraved expressions flush across his face, left him sad, confused and angry! Why was this happening? He couldn¡¯t understand, but looking over at Chihong, he was extremely angry, why wasn¡¯t she helping him and just standing there?


    Ban Ban in a fit of rage began to furiously bash into the surrounding area around him. Kicking up a dust and caving in the ground.


    ¡°RUUURU! RUUU!¡± his cries muting the constant shifting ground, the stressed trees cracking due to amount of gravity like pull the pill produced.


    Chihong snapped awake by Ban Ban¡¯s cries. Looking at the situation, the pill was in full rotation now, nothing could stop it. The only option would be to crush it with her full abilities, but it would be such a waste!


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    She moved close to Wenrou, the closer the got the more tenacious the pill got. Pushing even harder to be released from her grasp. Holding the pill in her right hand, she quickly moved her left hand to hover above Wenrou¡¯s abdomen.


    Chihong pressing Wenrou¡¯s body still with her Qi. Next, injecting her Qi directly into the abdomen area to look at Wenrou¡¯s abdomen she was shocked!


    ¡°His Dantian is in complete reverse rotation, it doesn¡¯t have enough Qi to allow it to rotate correctly so it is in reverse rotation trying to draw life essence from his body to feed it!¡±


    Gritting her teeth, feeling the pill trying to smash free she understood now. This world pill is able to feed this Dantian and regulate its rotation! How could she have expected this turn of events, she acquired this world pill from a dying sun it is a rare occasion only a few World Pill was ever acquired, however they had never chosen a Dantian to merge with! However, that was until now!


    She closed her eyes, and hoping for the best released the Pill from her grasp! The pill reached his Abdomen, sitting on top of his abdomen left even Chihong speechless. Unable to understand what will happen next. Something like this, has never happened before!


    Ban Ban, call to Leiming! Quick!


    She sore this boy with Leiming earlier, and he had an affectionate smile on his face. He must know what is going on with this boy¡¯s body!


    Ban Ban was to furious to listen to Chihong, Wenrou looked extremely hurt. However, his bond with Leiming, master and companion had already notified Leiming of his angst!


    --


    -A few moments before the world pill was released from the pouch-


    Leiming¡¯s palm had reverberated with pain, the black wound within his right hand had felt something similar. However, the school it resonated with wasn¡¯t in the crater city directly, it was a smaller location a few miles outside of crater city.


    There stayed a boy and an old man. The school was quiet, only one master and one student.


    There the faint corrupted Qi, had sewn its roots. However, when he traveled close by, he didn¡¯t immediately attack. Rather, he was just observing both males.


    ¡°There is a young boy as well... A bit younger than Wenrou¡± His face had an expression of reluctance, this boy looked young, probably hadn''t tasted a women yet, or any of lifes true pleasures.


    Leiming, couldn''t see the young males face from his position.


    ¡°Ahh, what am I getting soft for. His master killed him, he killed him the moment he began to Qi train with him. There is no saving him now, no way to burn this corrupted Qi, and the only solution is disposing of the corpse!¡± Scuffling his own hair, in an attempt to reconfigure his feelings.


    His gaze turned cold once again, preparing for battle. Qi was protruding from his body, looked like steam rising from his body. The clouds above gathered extremely fast, lightning was slowly coalescing within, his hair fluttering in the wind looking sharper cutting the air that passed by it.


    His aura became sharp and powerful, nothing was able to disturb him, only...


    ¡®cuc.. cuccc.. bucuccc...¡¯


    Land began to rage. The clouds began to seethe.


    Leiming¡¯s gaze reverted, now he looked intently back towards where Wenrou was. He could feel Ban Ban¡¯s emotions flooding his realm, the lighting above that coalesced, was unable to be contained no matter where it was and shot off striking the ground, tearing it up. Followed by a silvery blue faint flash...


    Feeling something was up, the school master looked up. His gaze stopped for a few breaths, before he retracted his gaze and continued to talk to the young adult near him.


    ¡°Come boy, something feels off. It isn¡¯t good to practice breathing, and Qi during a heavy disturbance of elements. Let us go back inside, and continue to train tomorrow.¡± The old man with a mask and a hood, took the initiative to leave, heading back into the small building.


    ¡°Yes, Master¡± The boy also looked up, he felt from his gut that something was watching them a moment ago, but nothing was there. Was it just a feeling?


    --


    A faint flicker streaked across the sky, booming sounds filled the disturbed environment.


    ¡°WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?¡± Leiming¡¯s anger crashed out.


    ¡°HIS DANTIAN! IT WAS IN REVERSE DUE TO NOT BEING FED BY QI, LEIMING... I HAD A WORLD PILL AS WELL ON ME... WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, EVEN I COULDN¡¯T HAVE EXPECTED!¡± Chihongs plead went unnoticed!


    "DAMN! HIS DANTIAN WILL IMPLODE IF THIS KEEPS UP!"


    Leiming quickly landed next to Wenrou.


    Looking at the boy with ghastly expression, had no time to think about it.


    ¡°Let me see, just how strong your Dantian is Shenyuan descendant! HehehahaHAHAHA!¡± His voice turning crazy at the end, sounding like a man going into his final battle!


    He quickly produced his Qi to maximum rotation. His body on full power, both his palms slapped Wenrou¡¯s abdomen without any hesitation. However, the moment his palms slapped, the amount of Qi forcefully entering Wenrou¡¯s abdomen he quickly found out the amount of Qi produced by the World Pill was too much trying to squeeze through a single meridian. His blood stream isn¡¯t thick enough to allow the Qi smooth passageway, leading to a clogged Meridian!


    Injecting his Qi, piercing through the abundant Qi In his stream, like a sharp spear. He was able to produce a hole for the Qi to pass through. Too much Qi, and somehow the Black Dantian, rotating the black flame erupted feeling Leiming¡¯s pure Qi.


    The black flame began to spread from Qi, to Qi area, enveloping the World Pill. The Qi being produced now wasn¡¯t grey or white, but turned inky coal. Leiming surprised at the scene, had to endure the pain, there was no turning back now!


    The Qi, forcefully smashed through amazingly 13 points of Meridians, what Leiming wasn¡¯t planning for was the first dark pulse was at the 14th Meridian. The moment the Qi reached the Dark Pulse, a vibrating feeling emerged from Wenrou¡¯s Dantian, which immediately, intensely transformed into...

 Chapter 15: Awakening, first dark pulse

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 15 Awakening, first dark pulse


    The Qi, forcefully smashed through amazingly 13 points of


    Meridians, what Leiming wasn¡¯t planning for was the first dark pulse was at the


    14th Meridian. The moment the Qi reached the Dark Pulse, a vibrating


    feeling emerged from Wenrou¡¯s Dantian, which immediately, intensely transformed into...


    ¡°Gravity?¡± Leiming was both confused and shocked, he hadn¡¯t anticipated the first dark pulse. It could be said, he completely forgot about the dark pulses, he was completely concentrated on protecting Wenrou¡¯s body.


    ¡°His first dark pulse has an innate ability? Such a powerful gravitational pull at that as well!¡±


    Now that Leiming was prepared for the gravity, his body relaxed once again, adjusting to the force pushing on his body.


    A vibrating feel continued to grow within Wenrou¡¯s body! With the Qi, continuously flowing through the first dark pulse, the pulse continued to rotate rapidly.


    --


    Wenrou¡¯s body was no longer latched onto the small vortex. The vortex slowly expanded, encompassing his ethereal body within his Dantian.


    There was still water in this room, but the feeling of floating had fled Wenrou, once the vortex encompassed him. He was now just lying at the bottom of the dark water, his eyes shut tightly.


    --


    ¡°This isn¡¯t typical gravity. Actually, I don¡¯t think this is gravity at all!¡± A moment of enlightenment struck Leiming. Before his realization could be understood it was too late, he tried to remove his palms from Wenrou¡¯s stomach located above the Dantian, when the rotation of the Dark Pulse exploded!


    Lightning began to crack along Leiming¡¯s chest area, the moment it began to seep out, it was completely raging! It was being drawn out! Just like an animal in deep slumber, it was disturbed in its cave!


    Leiming¡¯s eyes bulged, his Palm was completely attached to Wenrou¡¯s abdomen, pressing deeper into his abdomen! The muscles alongside his upper chest, his shoulders and triceps and biceps and forearm completely contracted! Tightening around his bone, he was trying to contest the yanking feeling on his lightning element!


    His forehead profusely began to sweat. His eyes bloodshot, the feeling of having the lighting forcefully dragged out was akin to having somebody, put their hand down his throat, and grip his heart!


    Clouds in the sky also feeling this lightning coming out into the environment began to converge. After a single breath, the sky blackened entirely covering the complete lower half, and most of the upper half of the planet!


    ¡°Damnit! This isn¡¯t gravity! This is planetary pull! A planetary pull so strong, it is able to drag this divine lighting within my Dantian out!¡±


    The lighting dancing around Leiming¡¯s body caught him completely off guard. He was at a loss of words, unable to predict such an ability in such a weak body.


    It must be understood. The abilities pertaining to Gravity, was a technique to amplify the gravity of the planets core within an area to place a force on the opposing enemies body, or area depending on the controller. Not just that though, with gravity techniques the planets natural laws would only be amplified. The direction of the pull would be just down.


    However, Planetary Pull, was the cultivators own Dantian (core) acting as the planet. The Planetary pull could be controlled to push, pull and change the ripples of the pull according to the wishes of the master of the Dantian!


    Such a rare ability, within such a weak body! For it to be found within Wenrou¡¯s body was what was the scariest of all!


    ¡°Leiming! Retract the lightning quickly!¡± Chihong¡¯s voice was extremely concerned. The situation didn¡¯t look right at all! What was going on; how did it end up like this?! Wasn¡¯t this boy supposed to be a cultivator with a weak body! How is he able to exude such a pull!


    ¡°Chihong. This boy¡¯s origins is deeper than I initially thought! His body has the innate ability; Planetary Pull! Don¡¯t come any closer to us! I¡¯m not able to control my element! Take to the skies and fight the lightning before it strikes down and burns the surface of this planet!¡± His voice filled with severe pain!


    ¡°For me having to fight your lightning will be something fun, at least that is the only thing fun about you!¡± Chihong sounding as if she had forgotten all about Wenrou¡¯s situation, looked straight at the dark clouds with Lightning brewing within! From the bottom the lighting was one giant serpent. Occasionally a scaled body would drift out of the clouds, next the tail of the lighting would slither out!


    The lighting completely wrapped around the clouds, its body as giant as half the planet completely domineering in the sky!


    Chihong¡¯s body slowly glowing with a blood-soaked glow. Her body, adorned by the bloody glow, her hair pulsating with a crimson glow. She looked directly up, eyeing the giant serpent in the clouds, there wasn¡¯t a sliver of fear, only joy!


    She stood still, looking back down at Leiming and the boy once more, her gaze returned to the serpent! Her body exploded with immense pressure! The air buffeted, the surrounding atmosphere changing immediately within five miles radius!


    A formless fiery cape emerged out of nowhere, the cape was astonishing though! It had ball shapes that resembled miniature suns from her shoulder to the ground giving her an air of supreme might and destruction!


    The moment the formless cape was completed, the surrounding trees, the ground looked notably dehydrated. The cracking sounds of dry earth splitting and churning, the trees cracking as the bark dried up extremely fast!


    The air turning hot, and heavy. It was akin to a mini sun pulsating on the surface of the earth.


    Chihong¡¯s body dropped slightly into a kneeling position, her hands curled into fists as it pointed towards the ground. Two flame blades appeared on the end of her fists, immediately began to enlarge! Her body launched of the ground with such velocity, the soles of her feet had hell fire erupting as well! Instantly blowing the ground away, the ground left ablaze the trees singed black, began to melt from the immense heat!


    From the ground, all that could be seen was a glowing red sea envelope the ground, and then transform into a scorching meteor as it exploded into the clouds above!


    ¡°Damnit! I can¡¯t stop the lightning at all! It won¡¯t listen to me!¡± Leiming was in dire straits, the day he completely integrated with this Lightning was the day it became one with him, nothing felt like it could separate him and his lightning! However, today this lighting was being drawn out of him, inch by inch!


    The lightning forked, and even though at first it was unwilling to part with Leiming! It grew closer to Wenrou, the closer it got the greater the force expanded. Soon it wanted to be pulled into his Dantian!

    Wenrou woke up slightly. Looking around, only to notice the area was still slightly dark, but above him a faint blue light flickered constantly. Unsure about what was going on, he could only look around. He noticed an illuminating glow was around his area allowing him to see a fraction into the abyss.


    Helplessly looking around he couldn¡¯t see where it was coming from, the light illuminating the surrounding area didn¡¯t have a source. He looked down at his own hands, both his arms in front of him.


    ¡°I¡¯m on fire!?¡± To his shock, his body was completely enveloped in this white flame, wisps of flame fled his body from his back as the flame burned from the front of his chest. However, it wasn¡¯t dark like his Dantian but pure white.


    ¡°Wenrouuuuuuuu~, wenrouwenrouwenrouwenrou~...¡± a sinister voice came out from within the abyss.


    ¡°That is burning Qi, hehehe how dumb must you be to not know that, that of all things!¡± the voice continued.


    ¡°Whose there?¡± Wenrou replied unceremoniously.


    ¡°You. Who else. This is your Dantian you idiot. Other than you who else could be here?¡± The voice exuded a sinister aura with each word.


    ¡°Ah. Somebody else will soon arrive though, hehehehe. A new toy for me, after sleeping for so long, I¡¯m going to get such a nice toy... hehehe I like toysss~ toytoytoytoytoy! Such a bright toy as well! ~¡±


    ¡°Do you like toys as well Wenrou~?????¡± The voice maintaining its anonymity, lurking in the abyss.


    ¡°If this is my Dantian, why are you here?¡± Wenrou¡¯s thoughts where in a confused state right now. Unable to process everything, he was burning Qi? His body didn¡¯t have Qi, yet alone to burn Qi! How did he end up in his Dantian? Actually what is a Dantian!?


    Thoughts kept flooding Wenrou¡¯s mind, the more he thought the more questions he had to ask!


    ¡°O¡¯ boy... such dull questions, why are you so dull Wenrou~? You are so na?ve, stupid and dull! Dulldulldulldull! ~¡±


    ¡°This is my Dantian as well! My house! My world! My planet! My cave! My place of entertainment! ~¡± The voice sounded depraved and excited towards the end, a mouthful of saliva could be heard as he reached the end!


    ¡°Enough of the games. Show yourself¡± Wenrou angered by the continuous action and way of speaking the other person kept displaying, a tinge of discontent in his voice could be picked up.


    ¡°ooo, we have such a rock hard boy now that he has Qi, he thinks he can boss people about? Okay, Mr Boss as you wish!¡±


    ¡°What the hell are you?¡± Wenrou, now able to see this form emerge from the abyssal darkness, couldn¡¯t hold his confusion in!


    A male that looked exactly like Wenrou stepped out of the abyssal waters, adorned in a black flame as it wisped and fled his body just like Wenrou. However, this Wenrou was pointing up as he walked out. His stance relaxed, and comfortable his gaze didn¡¯t even look at Wenrou but rather up!


    Wenrou, out of curiosity looked up, as he did the top of the black waters had a crack inside it, and what seemed like a raging bright dragon was smashing into it continuously!


    First ram.


    Second ram.


    Third ram.


    Fourth ram, accompanied by a colossal smashing as if planets are exploding the seemingly invisible barrier broke, in came a blindingly bright light which immediately compressed flying towards the Dark Wenrou!


    Sucking in the lightning into his mouth with a single gulp. Dark Wenrou, looked back up, which a black serpent coiled around his body with his head sitting on his right shoulder.


    ¡°You see our new toy? Isn¡¯t he cute? What do you think? Oh, never mind of course you like it! You are me and I am you, we like the same things! I almost became you a moment ago, asking stupid questions just like you heheheeheeHAHAHAHAHA!¡±


    Wenrou, looking at the lighting fork around his body, it was similar to the one on the Dark Wenrou. Although they looked similar, they had different colors. Wenrou¡¯s looked like a black serpent, with a black outline and silvery blue inside.


    ¡°wenrouuuu~ why are you distracted! You silly boy!¡± When the sinister ended, his body distorted, and he appeared before Wenrou, both flames clashed in the water, trying to burn each other out.


    However, Wenrou was unexpected, and he wasn¡¯t prepared nor did he have the training to fight this fiend!


    With the unexpected maneuver, Dark Wenrou¡¯s palm flew out grabbing Wenrou by the neck! Grasping tightly he whispered ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The outside world is borrrriiiinnnggg~. All I want is to watch that lady in red, and meet your new daddy! Stop trying to hog all the time outside! A suave guy like me needs to take a trip now and then, instead of staying cooped in here! Right baby black right? Letmeplayletmeplayletmeplay as well~ hihihihihihiihihi¡± A joyous laughter rang out, as the serpent on Dark Wenrou¡¯s shoulders mouth slowly opened, enlarging, then directly launched at Wenrou! Eating him in one whole!


    --


    ¡°The lighting hasn¡¯t all left!¡± Leiming still unable to release from the pull, he could only think of releasing the full force of the Divine Serpent locked within his body! Although, he felt like this he didn¡¯t have enough time as a dark liquid came bubbling out of Wenrou¡¯s pores around his abdomen, and igniting into a black flame!


    The lightning within Leiming¡¯s body uncontrollably erupted, a pillar of lightning white erupted within a brief moment rising from his body to the heavens, breaking through the atmosphere of the planet!


    ¡°Fuck this flame! How can it be so domineering?¡± Leiming jumped back out, the pull had come to an abrupt end, just as he was thinking about releasing the full force of the divine serpent he released a sigh of relief as he didn¡¯t have to.


    With the release, and the kick of distancing himself from a danger zone around Wenrou, dust was kicked up as the black flame immediately began to burn the surrounding environment, burnt pieces of ground and bark added to the dust cloud transformed it into a black mist, which slowly enveloped the area.


    ¡°ack¡± as the black invaded Lieming¡¯s body he felt a quenching pain, move from his palms to his torso! He involuntarily shot a mouthful of blood, as he fell to his knees.


    ¡°tsk, tsk¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t fully control this baby serpent?¡± A sinister voice, accompanied by a dark silhouette within the dust cloud sounded out.


    Leiming still injured, alongside the sudden eruption of the lightning from his body caused a humongous backlash! Took all of his might to reply ¡°Whose there? Is that you Wenrou!?¡±

 Chapter 16: Awakening, first dark pulse (2)

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 16: Awakening, First Dark Pulse (2)


    Leiming received two giant blows. The dark fire which invaded his body, alongside the sudden emergence of the divine serpent within his Dantian released against his wishes. On his knees, his view obscured by the dust cloud, all he can do is to hope nothing else goes wrong. However, deep within he felt something was off about the figure in the dust cloud.


    ¡®oooo this baby serpent is so cute and obedient why don¡¯t you hand over the rest of him?¡¯ the voice carried a tinge of envy.


    Leiming still on his knees, brought about words ¡®Wenrou, is that you? Stop talking like that. I am not in any...¡¯ as he was speaking, Leiming felt a sudden piercing pain flare inside his brain resulting in him closing his eyes for a moment due to the sheer pain.


    Expecting this development, Dark Wenrou from within the cloud produced a malicious smile as his body vaulted from the trees within his radius that began to change into black ash as he came into contact with them! As the dust cloud parted from the sudden leap, blowing away, revealing a figure shrouded in inky coal like aura.


    Within a mere few breaths, Wenrou was immediately upon Leiming, who was still clutching the pain. Feeling the instantaneous change in the wind, as well as the shadow which approached him with extreme speed. Sense of danger struck him.


    Still pain stricken, his first action was to defend as exerting pressure to launch an attack would be ill-advised. Moving his body into a defensive posture, his left arm came up, guarding his knelt body almost completely.


    ¡®hihihihihiii, lets see how capable Wenrous new daddy is! HERE. I. COME. MISTER. NEWDADDY.¡¯ Leiming clenched harder the moment he picked up the words said. As contact was made, a crashing sound of trees toppling flittered the woods. Dark Wenrou borrowing the striking momentum scurried into the Dust Clouds protection. Leiming, now a few metres from the previous position was grasping onto a half smashed tree. Rotating his Qi, slowly subsiding the pain in his body to regain his wits and composure. His left arm, if not for protecting himself would have been snapped in half. Inwardly, he was shocked, thinking that it was impossible for somebody who has just awakened their Qi, to have such powerful attacking capability.


    Thinking of ways to buy time, Leiming announced his thoughts ¡®Wenrou! Immediately come to your senses! Your body won¡¯t be able to handle all of that Qi. You¡¯ll burn yourself up, and die a fool¡¯s death!¡¯ but nothing replied back. The dust cloud continued to grow, enlarging, eventually encapsulating the whole forest. All that could be seen at this point, is a few metres ahead.


    Sounds of disintegrating trees and earth filled the environment, coupled by the heinous laughter of Dark Wenrou. This was all a giant game to him. He just couldn¡¯t get enough of it. Leiming, now partially recovered was still nowhere near his full power, but he was somewhat prepared, within the dust cloud up above every so often a flash of lightning would illuminate the sky, piercing the Dust Cloud.


    Leiming¡¯s game plan was simple, if he couldn¡¯t stop Wenrou in his current condition, all he will have to do is wait for the ¡®Flame God of the Crimson Planets¡¯ to return and help him. ¡®Why are you hiding yourself? What have you done with Wenrou?¡¯


    ¡®oof always talking about Wenrou! Whats so special about wenrouwenrouwenrou. Daddy issues wenrou, mummy issues wenrou, damaged body wenrou. Jesus fucking Christ his life is so mundane and boring, i am him and even i feel bored inside. He needs to get fucking real with himself!¡¯ sounding displeased, Dark Wenrou was able to spot Leiming. Understanding that Leiming was regulating his breathing, Dark Wenrou gave a sneer and kicked off two branches from a nearby half burnt tree, holding them in a javelin posture.


    Leiming was now more or less capable of defending and attacking properly. All that was left, was a tingling residual pain in his left arm, from the terrible protection employed by him earlier. Still, his body was in no condition to go toe-to-toe with Dark Wenrou, as he needed proper time to recover. The Divine Serpent, wanted to be separated from the rest of it no longer. Constantly thrashing and raging from within the Dantian. He was essentially fighting from within to contain this Divine Serpent, and fighting his pained body to protect against Dark Wenrou.


    As Leiming was about to reply back to Dark Wenrou, his intuitions kicked in. Able to feel an extremely fast incoming projectile heading to his direction. He kicked off the ground vaulting to a higher part of the smashed tree he was holding onto. As the first projectile, pierced into the ground a looming danger of death lurked about as Leiming immediately looked back up from the direction where the Spear came from, as another was mere seconds away from penetrating his body and nailing him into the tree!


    Leiming reacted as fast as he could, throwing his left fist out which just barely came into close proximity of the spear. Before Leiming¡¯s fist made contact with the spear, unreserved amount of Qi thundered out! The spear burst into dust upon initial contact. The flying direction of the spear, and the Qi that slammed into it from Leiming¡¯s end made the tree branch disintegrate into dust, flying straight at Leiming with even more speed! No matter how fast Leiming was, how could he have reacted to this or even known Wenrou was capable of such tactics? The first spear was a decoy taking advantage of Leiming¡¯s chaotic state of mind.


    As the Bark Dust flew onto his body small bits landed around his eye¡¯s ridges. His body moved into a protective motion, which left him momentarily vulnerable. Dark Wenrou hiding within the dust cloud, erupted from his spot, kicking of the nearby ground shooting towards Leiming with speed! ¡®Your no good! Hihihii didn¡¯t even see that useless technique what sort of martial arts master are you? Are you used to fighting 1on1 in fair conditions haaahaa. You¡¯re just fucking useless! Roll over and die you idiot! OoF! HERE. I. COME!¡¯ Dark Wenrous most joyous laughter resounded out as he neared his target.


    Leiming could only feel anger well up inside him, unable to contain his fury any longer not worrying about his hurt body, Qi came gushing out of his body, like an overflowing river! Pushing of the pieces of Bark Dust around the ridges of his eyes, he was just able to catch a glimpse of Dark Wenrou approach him, noticing his body in a punching motion. Leiming moved to receive as well.


    Both their punches made contact as a low thudding sound could be heard from the clash. Both only momentarily halted in place before, Leiming¡¯s right fist, changed into a palm, sliding past Wenrou¡¯s wrist, grabbing it! His Left hand, also in a fist motion launched towards Wenrou¡¯s abdomen when! ¡®Oof... Master? What¡¯s going...¡¯ it was like Wenrou transformed back! The inky coal like Qi had dispersed, the chaotic atmosphere quietened down. Wenrou genuinely looked like he had reverted from his crazed state! Leiming, could only halt his attack, his face plastered with hesitancy, a look of relief moved across his face.


    ¡®HAHAAAHAAA. GOD DAMNIT! NO FUCKING WAY. FUCK ME SIDEWAYS! HE FUCKING FELL FOR IT HAHAAAAAAAAAA. NO WAY WOWWOWOWOW. KEKEKEKEKEKE. JAJA! JEJEJEJE! WKWKWKWKWKWK¡¯ The moment of laughter was fast, and immediately interrupted the silence ripping it apart the tension as Dark Wenrou¡¯s left fist also blasted out. Leiming already in an extremely angered state, was hitting his zero patience mark. Although he felt like this, he still kept his caution up waiting to receive Wenrou¡¯s attack. ¡®ooo did you do it like this? Let¡¯s see¡¯ Dark Wenrous fist was already close to Leiming, the closer it got the more caution Leiming experienced. Leiming¡¯s palm in a blocking motion, prepared to stop the fist, like an iron wall.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    A thunderous roar boomed out of Dark Wenrous fists upon contact with Leiming¡¯s palm. Leiming who received this attack, felt his palm numb before it was blasted back. Leiming¡¯s face filled with unwillingness to believe, ¡®He copied the atta..?¡¯ He muttered in a low tone.


    Before Leiming could finish his thought, Dark Wenrou cut in front of him and his crying voice filled the air, ¡®FUCK! It hurts so fucking much. Fuck you and fuck this skill, fuck this goddamn planet! I WANT TO GO BACK HOME. FUCKING WENROU AND HIS DADDY FUCK IT HURRRTS SO MUCH. Owiee OwIEEE! FUCKMYLIFE WHY DID I COME OUT HEREEEeeEE!¡¯


    Dark Wenrou was still face to face with Leiming, but unlike before, he didn¡¯t contain a hint of savagery or malicious intent. However, their gazes met and since this was the first time Leiming was able to look Dark Wenrou eye to eye he noticed something astonishing. Dark Wenrous Iris was golden black, and the white around the eye was completely darkened. Not a speck of white could be seen. Although this was shocking, what was even more impressive was that Wenrou¡¯s pupil had enlarged by a greater length than an average persons¡¯ pupil! Leiming was slightly able to deduce now how Dark Wenrou replicated the ability! The Iris contains the ability to see Qi. Although that is what the Iris can see, if a person is born in a special clan they will eventually develop their clan¡¯s special traits. Some clans have special eye sights which contribute to their martial arts, providing them with exponential advantages over their respective enemies.


    Wenrou¡¯s pupil has enlarged, which means he is able to directly see the flow of Qi, from Meridian to Meridian. If this is true, it must be a trait special to the Shenyuan Clan! Coupled with Wenrou¡¯s 12 Dark Pulses, once he matures just what kind of Martial Artist would he be?!


    Wenrou slowly woke up from his slumber, waking up the black around his Iris reverted back to white. His golden black Iris and pupil returned to just plain black. He looked up at Leiming, his body no longer under the influence of Qi he slowly began to drift down before Leiming caught him. Holding onto him, Leiming could feel the explosive dark Qi, somehow didn¡¯t injure him too much. As if it was helping him, it enabled Wenrou to integrate with the Dark Pulse. Otherwise, even with Leiming¡¯s abilities even he wouldn¡¯t be able to easily integrate the Dark Pulse into a body that is Qi deficient!


    Leiming looked down towards his left arm, completely shattered from his hand to the elbow. A thunder strike, able to shatter my whole arm... only after seeing it once. His eyesight alone couldn¡¯t have done that...


    Closing Wenrou¡¯s eyes, he picked him back up and moved towards Ban Ban when overhead the crashing thunders and scorching planets battled. He could only give an apologetic look. The Divine Serpent is of the Lighting Element! The Lightning Element has no natural counter, and is the most unruly element in the whole galaxy! It is the most deadly element once it begins to rage. However, it is lucky that the Divine Serpent wasn¡¯t fully released, just a partial imprint escaped, and wanted to wreak havoc having been locked up for so long.


    Even though a partial of the power escaped, it wouldn¡¯t affect the Divine Serpent in slumber, what was lost could be recovered through Qi Breathing and Element infusion. Wouldn¡¯t even take long to fully recover what Dark Wenrou absorbed. However, what Leiming wouldn¡¯t believe is there was now a replicated Dark Lighting within Wenrou¡¯s Dantian, chained around the Dark Dantian in his abdomen.


    --


    A fiery glint flashed in the sky, piercing the White Lightning Serpent in the sky. A figure coalesced with a frown. This Divine Serpent suddenly erupted with such ferocious force that it could decimate half this planet if it wished. Something must have happened down below?


    Chihong¡¯s body blazed about the sky, the fiery cape grew greater and greater as two fist sized scorching planets moved from the cape placing directly above her palms. Her palms changed into a fist, as the balls of fire floated above the knuckles. Slowly, growing. The Divine Serpent in the sky, noticing the pressure building up, swam about in the air as it readied its body! Its body, migrating from one space to another before it locked onto the crimson figure, opening its mouth as Lightning began to draw from its body into its mouth. This action seemed to have caused it to grow smaller and smaller, soon it was the size of a sail boat in the sky.


    Chihongs Scorching Planet Fist, instead grew in size, now it was the size of two small houses on the ends of her knuckles. The fire planets drawing power from her cape of scorching planets, they began to rotate vigorously! It takes a while to explain this, but it all happened within mere breaths!  The Divine Serpent, already a bit smaller than a mid-sized sail boat, opened its roar as a blinding bright flash screamed out of its mouth; a long beam of lighting rushing towards Chihong!


    The blinding light didn¡¯t even take a second to reach Chihong! As it moved, it burnt the surrounding air to a crisp! Smoke filled the sky! Chihong looking head on, facing this lighting roar she lifted both her fists up to greet this Divine Serpent! A cold smile hung on her lips! Chihongs body exploded, like a dormant volcano as two ball sized scorching planets beneath her feet kept rotating with extreme speed tunnelling her through the atmosphere! The more she moved, the more fed her technique became. Feeding off the surrounding air it grew even greater!


    Her fists raised the planets hovering over her knuckles kept growing and growing! Drawing so much power from the atmosphere, the whole half of the planet was in a drought all the plants and wildlife either suffocated or dried up to a crisp! Both the Scorching Planets came into contact with the Lighting Roar, quickly rotating and grinding the incoming Lightning! Each grind reduced the Lightning bit by bit as bits of the Lightning separated and crashed into the ground transforming the tree or rock into Lightning crystals!


    Chihong kept ploughing her way through the roar. Her body moving extremely fast and powerfully through. Chihong, in the blink of an eye made it to the mouth of the Divine Serpent! As soon as the Scorching Planet Fist crashed into the Divine Serpent, a moment of disruption emitted from the dyeing Divine Serpent that ran through the whole planet. Shaking the planet, a loud vibration lasted for the entirety of two breaths before coming to a halt. The surrounding school masters within the planet had balls of sweat pouring from their heads, they were scared stiff. All they could see was fierce clashes of red and white warring in the clouds, unable to comprehend just what existences could produce such destructive power!

    A giant galleon, made out of Vivendi wood sailed the sea of space. Carved by the great sea masters of the twelve sea masters. The galleon is awe inspiring, a gem among gems. A ship worthy of any schools young master! Colossal demon face adorned the very front of the ship, made out of complete metallic alloy. All who seen this head, would come to know the owner of this giant galleon is the Iron Demon Body school!


    The whole galleon was made out of Velvet colored wood. this particular wood is capable of absorbing immense amount of Qi. Capable of sustaining such devastating attacks, within was layered with Iron Demon Body¡¯s own metallic alloy from their precious schools techniques. The whole galleon able to hold up to ninety people. Each room had double bunks, housing four students within a single room. The school¡¯s advanced students, would share with one other student demonstrating them above the initiate students.


    The school¡¯s branch leaders and 2 star ranked martial artists would be given their own room. Their personal rooms would be special. The wood for their particular rooms would be laced with a special type of liquid that would provide them with tranquility to practice Qi breathing without being disturbed from anything outside.


    The whole ship was carved to give of an aura of iron anger. All the way from the back of the ship, moving to the front. If one followed the lined carving their gaze would end up drawn to the giant demon face on the front of the ship.


    The largest space in the whole galleon belonged to the young master, with the rear had an invisible Qi bubble allowing the view from the rear to be extremely rich. All of the lights from the surrounding planets, and stars would be drawn to the Qi bubble, and filtered through, lighting the room up like a starscape had manifested inside!


    A man was seated in an agitated position. He had dusty grey hair spiked up, and a scar across his face from eye-to-eye.


    ¡®We¡¯ve been at it for so many years, tracking that lightning dog around the galaxy! I feel shamed for taking this long! I don¡¯t have the face to pay respects to master¡¯s shrine!¡¯


    ¡°Brother Taegu, calm yourself. Remember your status, you shouldn¡¯t have shame. In due time we will find him, and punish him.¡¯ A figure nonchalantly replied.


    ¡®Did you even mourn master¡¯s death? You must be happy he got killed, now you can take over the school without any contest? You¡¯re all despicable, taking advantage of master¡¯s death! So don¡¯t talk to me about having no shame! When you¡¯re all worse than dog shit!¡¯ Anger boiling out of him, Taegu smashed the Jar of ale he had clutched in his hand.


    ¡®Brother Taegu, you¡¯ve started spitting when you talk again. Even through this is a transmission, I feel disgusted. Its better I go, and leave you to your hunt. Also, join up with the Martial Arts Federations search party around the outer rim. Todoloo Brother¡¯ waving his hand in a goodbye gesture.


    ¡®Where are you going?! Wait a mom...¡¯


    Before he could finish, the figure on the other side of the transmission disappeared.


    ¡®Argh! You complacent dog! When I return watch me fuck you like a little bitch with my fist! Then I¡¯d like to see you sit so calmly in front of me!¡¯


    ¡®Bring me more ale quick!¡¯ An overbearing voice roared through the ship.


    A young student was running towards the young master¡¯s room with an anxious look across his face, ¡®Young master! Young master!¡¯ he shouted.


    ¡®Come in what is it?¡¯


    The young student bowed before Taegu, he continued, ¡®There¡¯s been a development. A great amount of Elemental activity has been picked up around the outer rim sectors of the planets!¡¯


    ¡®What? Quick! What elements was it?¡¯ His body jumped out of his seated position, unable to contain his fury and excitement, a violent aura exuded out of his body.


    The young boy took a deep gulp, and developed his story, ¡®Lightning and Fire... only¡¯. Retribution shone in Taegu¡¯s eyes.


    Taegu¡¯s body trembling with excitement, he shouted in an elated voice ¡®turn course towards the elemental activity! He¡¯s there! That lighting bastard is there! Hahaha¡¯


    The young boy bowed a little deeper, then looking up once more. Beginning to slowly step out of the room before Taegu interrupted him. ¡®Where are you going? Didn¡¯t you hear me before?¡¯ A confused look appeared briefly, then a terrified look replaced it. Because he didn¡¯t hear him before!


    ¡®No... Young Master I was bringing this news to you... I thought this is what you wanted to know. I am sor...¡¯ The young boy was no younger than Wenrou, he carried a prideful look in his eyes usually.


    Taegu, didn¡¯t move upon hearing the boys excuse.


    Shaking his head, he replied ¡®I asked for ale. You came to my room without ale... tsk tsk. Then you presumed to know what was important to me and barged into my room without bringing what I want? Is that what you¡¯re saying to me. Am I hearing it correctly.

    ¡®No young master I didn¡¯t¡¯


    ¡®It wasn¡¯t a question. Come over here. You¡¯re new aren¡¯t you?¡¯


    ¡®Yes... yes I am young master¡¯ scared witless, his voice began to stutter slightly.


    ¡®Ahh. New students are always the hardest to teach. Stay here, and I¡¯ll help break in the rules to you for a while. Think of it as personal tutoring if you like¡¯, Stroking the approached young boys head slowly, Taegu¡¯s whole body felt like a slippery eel, disgustingly wet and dripping all over the floor area.


    The young boy now felt like he was stuck in sinking mud, feeling extremely uncomfortable his heart pounding. His throat as dry as a desert. He thought of trying to voice discontent and wished to be excused but when he looked at Taegu his thoughts dispersed. He had heard of Taegu¡¯s dirty tendencies but had never paid heed to them. Making his way into the school of the Iron Demon Body was already a great accomplishment for him and his family. He slowly picked up where this was leading from all of the rumours that had always been said in hushed voices, and dark corners.


    He generated willpower from his soul and opened his mouth muttering a few words in a low tone, ¡®No... No... No young master... I¡¯ll go get your ale! Yes, then I¡¯ll... I¡¯ll come back okay! Okay?¡¯


    ¡®That won¡¯t do. My personal servants already brought my ale, he¡¯s at the door look.¡¯ His voice was now careless, pointing at the door. Everything in his control.


    The young boy only felt his scalp go numb. He didn¡¯t have the courage to turn his head, turning his head would mean accepting what was going to happen. Thinking of something to help him get out...


    The door crept shut. Completely shattering his thoughts. He didn¡¯t move from his position, only looking at the floorboards of the ship, images flashing in his eyes, yet he couldn¡¯t make out any of the images at all.


    Taegu¡¯s footsteps lightly trotted around, moving to his bed.


    ¡®Now you¡¯ll come here and do as I ask. Or I¡¯ll make you do as I ask. Trust me, you don¡¯t want me to do that¡¯, Taegu snickered.


    Still unable to process everything happening, his body turning slowly to face the bed in the room. His breathing heavy, not willing to open his mouth breathing through his nose leaving behind the noise of air squeezing out of his nostrils. He slowly moved to the bed.


    The servant at the door is Taegu¡¯s personal servant and advisor. Acknowledging everything taking place he respectfully bowed. Closing the door, making sure nobody would interrupt the young master¡¯s fun.


    --


    The servant was cloaked in metallic clothing as is the traditional garb of the Iron Demon Body school. His face covered in a giant beard, and a moustache that far exceeded his heads width. He was a quiet man always thinking in his head, but respected among the school. His rank was second only to the young masters.


    Making his way to the Command station of the galleon, respectful bows took place before he made it a giant moving screen. The screen was generated through Qi, and was a diagnosis of the current area where the Elemental Eruption took place.


    Looking carefully at the screen he asked calmly, ¡®Have we examined the Lighting Pillar that rose through the atmosphere? Has the exact location been determined?¡¯


    A veteran of the school stepped forward, ¡®Master Mad Iron, the lighting pillar as you can see on the screen, renders the Qi reading almost useless. However, that being said we did manage to locate the area where the blast could have come from. That is... the best these machines can do.¡¯ His voice a little hesitant at the end.


    Master Mad Iron gave a thoughtful look. The young master wants revenge above all else, if he can¡¯t get it he won¡¯t rest for another day. For him personally, goals and aims chasing a Lighting Cultivator around the galaxy is a waste of time. Aiming to make this trip as fast as possible he called out, ¡®There is six planets in that area. The Yin Long Planet, Hetion Planet are the two biggest. Let¡¯s stop in-between them and search the grounds for any clues. If the Lightning Element was used to such an extent that we discovered readings from the outer ridges of the inner sanctum of planets. The land and sky will definitely have evidence burnt into it.¡¯


    ¡®Yes master mad iron! Setting course, will approximately take us 6-9 months to reach the area.¡¯


    ¡®That won¡¯t do. Do what you can to shorten the time span. Once you do, send word to me. I¡¯m going into secluded meditation. Also, nobody is to go near the Young Masters quarters without my permission.¡¯ Without waiting for any reply, he turned and moved sturdily to his personal quarters.

 Chapter 18: Victim to nature, only strength is the common factor.

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 18: Victim to nature, only strength is the common factor.


    Aftereffects of the battle in the sky imprinted itself majorly upon the land of Yin Long Planet. Crystallized shards for trees, every so often illuminating briefly, whilst also producing a piercing screech.


    From up above if one looked down around the centre of the planet, you would see the burnt leaves and dead animal carcasses burnt to a crisp unrecognizable. From miles, upon miles of distance the land had bulged towards an epicentre from the start of the land movement to the centre looked like a displaced carpet. The land would take a new name after today though, how could it not? The change was massive, rendering people speechless as they left their shelters and took to view the new horizon.


    Toulan and Greyhound had sent word to see if Jie was safe and well. Most school masters stepped forward to issue an explanation to the commoners on the planet. Though, it was a simplified version of what they knew and all agreed in unison before announcing.


    The real cause was only known to the masters, they knew it was the cause of hidden experts on the planet. Why they was hiding on the Yin long Planet, and took to fighting just now? Nobody could answer that.


    In a quiet courtyard, far away from the Crater City a young male sat next to an old hooded man. Both sitting in silence, breathing in the soothing air practicing breathing techniques. The youth is extremely handsome, his body well defined and toned clearly he kept up with his training without rest. His skin fed by Qi glistened as sweat soaked his body. His features and hair nurtured by the Qi, left him with a mysterious look. His long black hair dropped to his broad shoulders, garbed in just bottom half of his clothing, he sat there allowing the sun to heat up the sweat as it ran down his body.


    ¡®Good jie, my boy. You have far surpassed the practitioners of this planet of the past few years. Nobody is your match, not even little old me. Hehe¡¯ His body in a meditative position, though he looked like he was practicing, his gaze wavered as he allowed his mind to be disrupted by the ever so often water filled bamboo pipes that tapped on the rocks by the man made mini water garden.


    Softly continuing, ¡®I have received word of an entourage coming to seek help from me. Heh, even after so long after hiding on Yin Long they still haven¡¯t forgotten me... I don¡¯t know if I should be irritated or honoured.¡¯ Looking thoughtful for a second, his gaze changed instantly coughing up heaps of blood on the hot floor bed, dying the grey rocks bright red!


    ¡®ACCKK! HUFF huff¡¯ Taking deep breaths as he felt his chest contracting on his lungs!


    Jie¡¯s eyes snapped open! ¡®Master! Hold on, I¡¯ll go get your medicine!¡¯


    ¡®Sit down fool! I¡¯m not dead yet, I can get my own medicine!¡¯ He unwillingly momentarily raged at Jie.


    ¡®Master!¡¯ Jie looked uncompromised, aiming to get the medicine before his master¡¯s illness does any more damage to his body.


    Waving his hand in a state waning of the caution. The Tiandi master apologetically looked back at Jie. Knowing him, in a moment of weakness angrily shouted at Jie. However, this wasn¡¯t the first time. Over the years, the illness that had seeped in his body had taken dramatic effects slowly.


    Every night he would lose himself to rage and anger. Deep hatred would consume his body, transforming him into a hating monster. Many nights close calls happened as Jie had to protect himself against his Master. Even after his Master lashing out, he still never left him. This man had taken a spot in his heart and soul that was irreplaceable. Jie witnessed this old man who needed his help, unwilling to let a tragedy like what happened to his brother repeat itself he decided that he would do his best no matter for who and when as long as it was within his power! No! Even if not in his power! This is Jie!


    Rushing in with quick successive double strides, he picked up the medicine in a simple wooden cup. It had a no lid, but was covered by a cloth, keeping it as clean as can be. This whole yard was under the protection of a partial Qi Domain set up by the Tiandi School Master, not allowing a speck of dust or animal to float by. Slowly Qi rotated inside cleansing the whole courtyard and building everyday bit by bit.


    The weeds sticking out through the stone floor-bed was nurtured by the Qi in the area which was amplified due to the domain. All living things strived of Qi, and essences. Trees and plants bloomed in this courtyard, changing to the Qi manipulation of the practitioners in the courtyard. Where they practiced, the plants and trees and bugs would sway to that direction. The Qi bubble magnified the effects of the sun that shone onto the courtyard, making it even more potent.


    Jie made it back without a moments delay, carefully carrying the Medicine in the cup. He handed it over to his master, returning to his meditative position. Although he moved back to his breathing, his mind wouldn¡¯t rest easily, constantly checking up on his master who sat there slurping loudly.


    The Tiandi Master must have enjoyed drinking medicine, as each time he took a slurp his facial features looked as if they were pinned back. Jie always joked inwardly, about how he must have been a Night Lima in his past life. His eyes would open round like a Ping-Pong ball, his mouth and forehead would shift towards the back of his head. Such an unusual technique to drink medicine.


    ¡®Are you laughing at my drinking again? I¡¯m an old man ayyy don¡¯t do this to me. Let me save some self-conscious and drink in peace will you.¡¯ His features wouldn¡¯t change, even when knowing Jie would laugh at him. This was their inside joke.


    ¡®No master don¡¯t worry. I just wish I could save this image, and look at it when I feel sad. Maybe show my dad or Greyhound. Hahaha¡¯


    ¡®You silly child. You¡¯d make a joke of your master even when he is sick and old? What kind of disciple are you? Ayyy I made a mistake back then at the acceptance day.¡¯


    ¡®Oo? Master, I know you wished you was as good as me back when you was younger. Haha, I see you flex trying to look younger when you see how the ladies at the red light district look at me¡¯ and Jie snickered teasingly.


    ¡®I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. You know I feel self-conscious, it¡¯s why I always wear a hood!¡¯ his face displeased with his student, he shifted and spun himself away from Jie. Showing only his back.


    ¡®Master... I have a serious question though.¡¯ Curious look shone in his eyes.


    ¡®What is it ask away.¡¯


    ¡®Do you wear the hood even when...?¡¯


    ¡®Even when? What?¡¯


    ¡®When you go down on the ladies?¡¯


    ¡®PFFTT,¡¯ spitting the saliva in his mouth right out, his eyes bulged unable to comprehend just what goes on in Jie¡¯s head.... ¡®You fucking lunatic what kind of question is that! Quick scram! Go bring me back 20 Iron Boars before dinner you lunatic! So rude!¡¯


    ¡®Master don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll take the answer to my grave, I just want to know. Because you don¡¯t even take the hood of when you...¡¯


    ¡®WHEN YOU WHAT?¡¯


    ¡®When you have a shit!¡¯ He said as a confirmed look on his face took place.


    ¡®PFFT!¡¯ angered by continuous onslaught of Jie, the Tiandi master finally erupted! ¡®YOU SPY ON ME WHEN I HAVE SHITS? YOUR CRAZY LUNATIC GO AWAY BEFORE I CHOP YOU IN HALF!¡¯


    ¡®Okay, okay. No need to get mad, we like family. It¡¯s normal.¡¯


    ¡®Nothing you just said is normal!¡¯ Tiandi school master replied helplessly.


    ¡®Jesus. So uptight. Okay I¡¯ll be back soon master, faster than last time!¡¯ Jie said confidently, as he was running away.


    ¡®Ayy, I¡¯ll keep track of time! If you¡¯re slower than yesterday, it will be divine punishment!¡¯ He said as an evil grin hung on his lips.


    Jie¡¯s face twitched, as his body erupted with speed dashing towards crater city!


    As he descended to skip around crater city, heading towards a nearby forest to begin his hunt. His thoughts ran racing through his mind, ¡®Only strength can prevail. Only way to keep anybody from dying, I need more strength! I need to become an unmovable pillar!¡¯ Ferocity and determination shone in his eyes, as his speed once again reached greater heights!

    --


    The galleon kept sailing the sea of space. The bottom of the Galleon had a giant arc, providing it with the ability to cut through the empty space and sail to the desired planet.


    A young male was spotted on the galleon¡¯s brig. With a mop in hand, he kept to himself completing his tasks for the day. He looked tired, yet vigilant. If one could look deeper into his eyes, one would see a victimized soul.


    Past few days had become somewhat akin to a nightmare to him. From the moment he rushed towards Taegu¡¯s quarters to personally present him with the wanted information to now. He had even erased the status of ¡®young master¡¯ in his head. He had brown hair, with youthful skin and beaming eyes when he entered the Iron Demon Body School. Now though, he looked exhausted, dull and his eyes hadn¡¯t beamed like his first day.


    Life is cruel, and he had come to accept this notion day by day. He felt deeply ashamed, at first he thought he could get away by keeping his head down and he would be forgotten by Taegu. Little did he know, that isn¡¯t the case.


    Everywhere he moved, sat and ate he felt gazes linger on his body. He felt the heavy shadows trap him and he knew, deep down something was wrong. He tried to ask for help, even though he tried nobody had taken to help him. When one isn¡¯t the one receiving injustice nobody is concerned with you, as long as you keep away and your problems don¡¯t effect anybody else nobody will step up to help you in this world. That is what he came to know, and understand.


    Iron Demon Body is a ruthless school, with ruthless teaching. You make your own way up, and you are your own downfall. Every night Taegu would request his presence, and every night he was forced to endure despicable acts.


    Taegu enjoyed this type of perseverance. He liked young boys, who would fight back until they had no will to fight back anymore. This was sport for Taegu, he enjoyed it every time he held a young lad down and watched them clutch to the bed covers in anger till their palms went numb.


    If anybody wished to help, they would tell young Jianding that if he wanted to be left alone, it would to be submissive. Don¡¯t fight back, but nobody would help young Jianding. For helping him, would mean they were put back in the crosshairs.


    Jianding left victimized day after day, declared a notion in his heart for retribution of the filthy acts committed against him. Every night when he would be sent back by Taegu, he wouldn¡¯t sleep. Instead his aim was different, sleeping as less as possible to use as much time as possible to train and bring about greater strength to himself. Jianding wasn¡¯t naturally extremely talented but waking up to the cold truth of the world was like a bucket of ice waking him from sleep. His mind locked and determined to not be dragged under and used as somebody¡¯s toy.


    Each night, when most of the students would take to sleeping, he would stay up and creep out. Making his way to the training hall where it was quiet and spacious. He took to practicing. The Iron Demon Body School, had a very ruthless requirement to train. Elemental infusion from the seed would require the user to have a slight mutation in their body. They would require a high content of Iron in their body once that was found in the user he would be fit to practice the Iron Body techniques.


    One of the greater ways to increase one¡¯s strength was to constantly break your bones. Crushing them over and over again. This would slowly but exponentially boost the body¡¯s endurance, but breathing technique was required. Not so much Qi, but the Elemental absorbing was the most important constantly enhancing the mutation in the body.


    Jianding kept picking the same spot, and same wooden dummy before without a care and only a determined devils look in his eyes. He would smash his fists, elbows, knees, shins and all parts of his body into the wooden dummy. Every night taking to do this, his goal grew from just escape, to more malicious content.


    Every night his body bled, he would write a blood debt on the wooden dummy. Always picking the same wooden dummy, always reminding himself of what he has to do. The shame he has to lift. Some of the students who practiced so late, noticed Jianding. The ones victimized just like him, could feel their souls spurned taking to practice late with him.


    One single thought kept creeping up in his mind, ¡®Only strength can prevail!¡¯


    --


    Master Mad Iron was standing in the Young Masters personal quarters, addressing him about a serious matter, ¡®Taegu, you shouldn¡¯t take to sleeping with too many boys. The more yang energy is absorbed by you through the action will cause the Qi and Elemental seed in your body to also receive side effects. Your techniques will become unstable, and uncontrollable. There is a reason why the gods created men and women. Your body needs to be balanced for it to bring about its greatest potential.¡¯


    ¡®You say that Master, but that is a bygone eras thinking. If you see my explosive power, even you would shudder with fear!¡¯ Taegu replied with an evil flash in his eyes.


    ¡®Taegu. Too much yang energy will cloud your judgement. Making you more agitated, you will quickly become aggressive over trivial matters. Take some time away, we have women on the ship that you can taste, and even if you don¡¯t enjoy them, you can let them do what they need to. There is some that even resemble young boys.¡¯ Concern in his voice, Master Mad Iron kept reiterating.


    Taegu only felt like a small child getting scolded by his parents. He didn¡¯t like this feeling and he quickly became agitated at Mad Iron.


    ¡®Receive this then!¡¯ He explosively leapt at Mad Iron!


    His palm, and forearm transforming into a metallic alloy that darkly shined in the room! His palm in a gripping motion aiming to rip Mad Iron¡¯s face!


    Mad Iron only laughed inwardly, ¡®Humph. This stupid brat. If not for my personal goals I would have long since castrated you and fed you to the boars alive!¡¯


    As he thought so in his mind, he moved to receive Taegu¡¯s pitiful attack.


    His right arm just barely made it in time. However, unlike Taegu¡¯s metallic alloy, Mad Iron¡¯s shined brightly and attracted the light giving him a brightly lit arm that would almost distract one if they looked directly at the light shining off. He still didn¡¯t receive the attack with a 100% of his power. Instead, reducing his power to slightly leave him in disadvantageous position.


    A look of shocked swept Mad Iron¡¯s face, as his body was forced back by the extreme violent collision.


    An astonishing look of pride filled Taegu¡¯s eyes, even he didn¡¯t expect such explosive power. ¡®I knew it! This is the new generation¡¯s way of practicing!¡¯


    ¡®Young Master your strength! Even I am no match for you now!?¡¯ His expression, one of questioning.


    ¡®Ha. The student becomes the master, is the right saying for this occasion. Master Mad Iron, would you like to taste my boy that I¡¯ve handled for the past few days? He¡¯s a little dull, though still feisty hehehe¡¯


    ¡®I must decline young master. I should take my leave, and prepare for the landing procedures. I¡¯ll take my leave now young master.¡¯ Mad Iron bowed, before he turned to take his leave.


    ¡®Before you go, call my young friend will you. Defeating you in a single strike, has sparked something down below. If you know what I mean¡¯ A crude look in his eyes, Taegu moved into a seated position.


    Authors note:


    Longer chapter than usual. Some heavy drama, some light drama. Motivations from various sources and difference areas for everybody, our young Wenrou still asleep. Jie and Jianding talk of the topic. I really like the Jianding character, and personally wish to see him join Wenrou at some point. I hope I can make it happen!


    Maybe I take t writing like this better, as this chapter just wrote itself. I started at one point and before it took any time it was written! Which makes me think a lot of mistakes are in there! I hope not cause I read a lot over it!


    Please I hope you enjoyed, and let me know how you feel and think so far about the book and the various aspects I have introduced so far.

 Chapter 19: A devil in the wind

    Thundering Dragon


    Chapter 19: Devil in the wind


    Jie could be spotted dashing past the lumberjacks, and guardsman on guard protecting the lumberjack from wild animal attacks... Jie was the fantasy of many young hearts. His mysterious, yet dominant face. His long black hair that swayed in the wind, his confidence that made girls of tender hearts swoon.


    Jie descended the hills of where his master resided, and approached a forest just outside of Crater City. His speed was truly astonishing, moving through the wind. His goal was to hunt 20 Iron Boars for dinner, he completed this task twice a week as training. The first time, his master dropped him in the middle of the forest with agitated Iron Boars as a test of reflex, also to see how he performs under pressure.


    The second time was to test how he could handle tracking, and killing without disturbing a herd of Iron Boars. Each time, he would struggle as each training required something new from him to perform, adapt and to understand. Each time he grew learning how to track, kill silently and understand his abilities. However, he didn¡¯t quite enjoy silently killing. Something about doing something in the shadows irritated him. He would rather have his targets know they fell under his hand.


    Looking at the forest, daylight still hung high allowing for clear inspection of the forest. He approached a nearby tree with a buzzing sound around it. Looking up to spot a bee hive. Jie began to rotate his Dantian, supplying his body with the required Qi. Moving up the tree in one single graceful movement, he stood before the hive. As the bees sensed his approach, some assaulted him only to be left stuck slowly moving through the Qi exuding from his body.


    ¡®Heh, this should attract them faster than usual. I¡¯ll have the 20 in no time¡¯, he thought meticulously.


    Holding onto the Bee hive, he moved down. Dashing into a deeper part of the forest. He moved through the thicket of trees before coming to a decent amount of clearing. Enough space to move about if needed.


    He placed the Hive down, bending near it. He picked up a few branches, placing the Hive on top of the branches. Using a flint to get the fire starting, he quickly moved back as the fire surrounded the Bee hive. The Bee¡¯s furiously came flooding out but it was too late, the fire quickly spread all over the Hive burning their honey in the process.


    J


    ie seeing all in his view, moved into a kneeling position. Both hands on his knees, he closed his eyes allowing time to do the rest.


    As the burnt honey wafted out, soon a pungent smell took place. Holding firmly and spreading around the forest in a few breaths of time. A few more seconds later, trees shook slightly. Jie opened his eyes from his meditative positon, thinking to himself silently, ¡®Iron Boars can¡¯t stand the smell of burnt honey. It makes them restless, unable to rest as long as the smell resides in the forest. They would surely come to inspect and possibly try to destroy the smell.¡¯


    As the trees slightly shook, it soon turned into a tremble as more than 20 Iron boars came stampeding through the forest looking crazily at the area of the spell. Their noses sensitive, they just couldn¡¯t handle this smell, not one bit at all! The longer it lingered in their home, the crazier they got!


    ¡®Oh. You idiot ha-ha. Why do you carry such a heavy spear with you? It¡¯s a horrible hunting tool. You should learn the bow like me¡¯, as he said he pulled back on the string of the bow. Testing his fine weapon of choice.


    ¡®Why do you always try to force other people to like what you like? I rather kill with the spear, for a real man doesn¡¯t hide at a distance...¡¯ he said trying to uplift his own spirits.


    ¡®How many boars did you manage to kill with that spear? I can collect a clean kill from 30 yards out. You, however run around like a headless chicken...¡¯ His mocking tone wasn¡¯t hidden at all.


    ¡®Master said a man shouldn¡¯t be ashamed of his shortcomings. When I make it to my 1st star rank as a Martial Artist. I¡¯ll be able to employ the wind to my advantage and my spears will become twenty metres further.¡¯ The lad said, puffing his chest out looking prouder of himself the more he talked.


    His friend looked approvingly at what he said, then added ¡®I¡¯ll probably get to the 2nd star ranking once we ascend to the gateway. Once we get there, it¡¯s all dependant on our luck and each other which school, or sect...¡¯


    ¡®Or clan!¡¯ The spear wielding youth interjected. Looking with expectations in his eyes. He continued, ¡®I want to join the Lion Clan of the Bright Moon.¡¯ I have heard stories of how wild and arrogant they are.¡¯


    ¡®Shameless all of them...¡¯ the confident youth said, looking at his spear wielding friend from the corner of his eyes, with a sheepishly grin he added, ¡®Which I like!¡¯ They both laughed at the thought of joining a clan filled with such people!


    ¡®Shh¡¯ he waved at his friend. Something caught his senses. ¡®Do you hear that? Is it a mini earthquake?¡¯ He added curiously.


    His friend looked lost for a moment, he added dazedly ¡®Woah~. Look at the dust being kicked up! It has to be a stampede of Boars!¡¯


    ¡®Come on lets go then! We need to kill a few before we go back to school anyway!¡¯ Spear wielding youth was clearly ignorant of what a stampede of boars could do!


    ¡®Are you serious? We can hardly handle five between us, maximum eight if it¡¯s a stampede we will get chased to the ends


    of the earth. Why would you...¡¯ He looked angrily at his friend who would disregard his own safety for his daily quota.


    ¡®Bro. You scared? BWak bwak¡¯ He started yelling chicken noises, coupled with his terrible chicken impersonation.


    It must have struck a nerve, because his friend agreed. Spear wielding youth took the lead, as his friend followed suit.


    The both of them quickly moved through the dense forest, before making it to a small clearing. Hiding behind a rock, looking from the side staying out of the way the Boars would come through. The spear wielding lad turned around to his friend and said, ¡®All we got to do is pick them of from the sides. Easy days¡¯ work right?¡¯ He said as he had a look like everything was planned by the gods.


    His friend had a look of dread on his face, he didn¡¯t voice anything and just thought inwardly to himself, ¡®Roquan you are an imbecile.¡¯ He just turned back to get ready, with a heavy look on his face. He knew he would have to do most of the work yet again. He should have definitely made other friends...


    Roquan blurted out as he caught sight a young boy with black hair, ¡®Oh. Look somebody beat us to the punch already? Over there look he¡¯s sitting in the path of the boars! Who is that?¡¯


    ¡®How should I know? I just got here with you, if you don¡¯t know how should, I know!¡¯ His irritation had come out as he answered back.


    Roquan felt like his friend was in a foul mood, so he didn¡¯t talk back just watching the scene unfold. He thought for some time, before he said, ¡®Should we extend our help to him? We shouldn¡¯t sit and watch should we?¡¯


    ¡®You have this fools need to keep getting involved with everything. I swear, Roquan. You are a lost cause. He¡¯s luring the boars himself. Look at the fire, he¡¯s burning honey and that pungent smell is evident of it!¡¯


    ¡®Oh... but do you know anybody who can fight so many boars alone?¡¯ Before he could turn to his friend for answers, the stampede was upon them! The ground shook violently as the crazed boars with red eyes and clear frustration written across their faces filled the view of the forest!


    Trees kicked down, pieces of earth and rock flying the storm of the stampede.


    Jie slowly opened his eyes, changing into a fighting stance. His whole body was in an L shape. His left hand foremost out, his body slightly bent and springy. He inhaled, exhaled slowly... inhaling again, and exhaling for the last time. Slowly a faint glow of green leaked out from his body. The wind died down, even with the boars flooding towards him he felt no fear. His face fixed with concentration, the first four boars at the front was in close proximity.


    15 metres.


    13 metres.


    7 metres!


    Jie¡¯s body flowed like the vast sea, and stood as strong as the open land! His right moved past his body, drawing him closer to the flood of boars! Drawing an arc in front of him, his body twisted slightly to the left pivoting from his left foot and hip.


    A crashing amount of wind came bolting from the seamless air! Like a wave of wind struck the middle two boars along the side piercing their thick hide inches deep as they gave a dying squeal and their body¡¯s crashed into the ground like a giant boulder! Jie didn¡¯t stop! No! How could he! The boars, that wasn¡¯t able to fight ran past him bearing their tusks towards him! But it was for naught! A billowing wind wall pushed them off! The closer they edged the stronger the wind got pushing them off!


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    They had no choice, continuing on their designated route! Unable to turn around, unable to hurt Jie they kept squealing and rushing away!


    Jie kept moving, with each arc and movement, a wave of wind like the boundless sea came crashing down towards the horde of Iron Boars.


    ¡®Rising wind, crashing heaven!¡¯ His voice came out dominating the playing field. This was all calculated in his mind!


    ¡®Did he say crashing heaven?¡¯


    ¡®Gulp¡¯... waking up to his friends shout, revealing a look of shock on his face! This young lad didn¡¯t shirk away from the Iron Boars! Instead he edged closer and closer, dropping boar after boar! Like a devil in the wind!


    Step after step he grew more devouring! Like a tiger as agile as the wind, taking bite after bite!


    Jie moved slowly, but surely! Each move containing a subtle sway of the wind, yet as heavy as the mountains that adorned the horizon!


    His left arm drew arcs, his right arm drew arcs as three more boars fell. There lifeless bodies slid in the dirt, stopping by his feet.


    ¡®Gale Tiger!¡¯ His shout accompanied by an instantaneous fierce howl of the wind! He jumped two metres ahead as both arms from the back of his body, and crossing past each other! This movement came with immense speed! His palms in the shape of two tiger claws scratching the wind!


    As his hands abruptly stopped, ten lines of screeching winds sliced the atmosphere into ten parts! Ten parts! The crying squeals and crazed roars of the boars bean to quake throughout the forest! More than 12 Boars sliced from limb to limb in that single exchange! Headless Boars slumped to the ground! Their bodies didn¡¯t slide like the rest! They died instantly as their bodies jumped back at the frightening movement of the wind! Their instincts told them to run away! This is the end!


    Jie quickly, moved back into his stance. Unwilling to stop, this was a form of training! His gaze grew more carnivorous! He looked past the sliced wind as the sliding and slumping bodies of the dead boars made his view look hazy. It didn¡¯t matter though! He could feel the wind, the vibrations!


    He moved his body into sharp positions, two fingers on both his hands stuck out with each movement! His body constantly moved piercing the nearby area, moving in sharp movements!


    Greater amounts of deafening howls erupted as a last cry of plea from the Iron Boars! Finger sized holes had penetrated their halted bodies through their stomach piercing their hearts and rupturing past the back of their thick, strong hide!


    He didn¡¯t just stop there! With each move, he felt more in control of the wind! His distance to strike grew even greater! Feeling the rustling of the wind, the howling screams of the boars he grew more avaricious!


    He wanted to taste blood, agilely stepping onto the wind platform he had created his body was carried with a gust of the wind!


    ¡®Gale steps!¡¯ He thought in his mind, instantly he appeared above his target!


    Both his hands in the form of a claw, he struck down! Accompanied by the dominating force of the movement, and the wind under his control! His fingers penetrated the boar from his nape. Jie¡¯s body rotated as he landed facing the Boars head! Malicious look in his eyes, he kicked off as his hands ran through the spine of the Boar!


    A torturing death! Blood dripped on his fingertips as the boar¡¯s lifeless body shuddered for a second, then dropping into the dirt.


    Slowly moving around the other boars whose sight was distorted by the dust wall created by the dead animal carcasses hitting the ground with great weight.


    ¡®Did you see that?! His movement! He¡¯s Jie!¡¯ A shock of enlightenment hit the spear wielding lad!


    ¡®Jie? The Tiandi School¡¯s student?¡¯ he answered back to his friends shocked call.


    ¡®Yes! I remember seeing him defeat senior Pinjing on the platform in town! Don¡¯t you remember?! He was defeated in a single move!¡¯ His alarmed cries grew louder and louder!


    Jie circled the remaining four boars, who was easy pickings. Their minds had gone numb, but they was still in a crazed state thrashing their tusks into the empty space trying to get a clear sighting. Clearly distraught by being unable to move, they felt hot blood on their skin making them grow wilder!


    Jie picked one boar, looking at him crazily attacking the empty space he moved! His palm in the shape of a war blade his chop descended! Slicing the tusk into two, the boar was struck dumb! His head moved back! Bringing into view dirty teeth and dirty smelling breath! Jie moved faster as he slipped past the Boar striking across the side of its stomach! His stomach sliced, an unwilling look of death appeared in the boars eyes! He tried to move but he couldn¡¯t! His body wouldn¡¯t listen, his body wouldn¡¯t do as it¡¯s told!


    It seemed as he had the greatest strength in the horde of Boars. When he fell the remaining three fled the idea of fighting this devilish youth! Jie looked at their backs as they trembled from head to toe, scrambling away into the thicket of trees.


    Wiping the blood on some nearby Boars hide, he looked towards the two lads hiding behind the rock, ¡®So, are you going to introduce yourself, or should I take it as you being rude?¡¯


    Both of the lads caught in the unusual sight, took a moment to process Jie calling out to them as they both looked at each other trying to figure out who else could have been hiding, when they realized it was themselves. They came out with look of awe plastered across their faces.


    ¡®Juni...¡¯ before the spear wielding youth could finish, his friend elbowed him angrily and with a look of disgust!


    ¡®Senior Jie! Sorry for intruding on your training... we came for the boars before we realized it was you luring them all to this spot. Sorry for the interruption.¡¯


    ¡®Nonsense. I was done anyway. I guess if you needed to hunt boars and I killed a dozen, you can just take back some carcasses from here I won¡¯t be able to fit it all into my dimensional ring anyway.¡¯ He said without care.


    ¡®Thank yo...¡¯ again before his spear wielding friend could finish his sentence, he hit him with another nudge! This time more piercing and clearly left his friend in pain as his eyes grimaced on the spot.


    ¡®How could we dare take from a Senior...¡¯ He said extremely respectfully.


    ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯re both from the Zhi Che school right? I utilize the wind as well, so this could be considered a lesson for us all¡¯ He said humbly.


    Both lads bowed towards Jie, receiving the same from him. They moved to provide space for Jie as he absorbed the carcasses into his Dimension ring, counting as he did.


    1, 2, 5, 9, 12, 18, 22!


    Twenty two Boars do you see Raquan! He will surely be a master level in no time! He¡¯s probably already at the 3rd rank! He controlled the wind so fiercely and sharp, like holding a weapon in his palms!


    ¡®Damn yo! I can¡¯t wait till I am just like that. Watch me pierce enemies before they even take a step. Watching him has already gave me techniques to create and utilise!¡¯


    ¡®Stop daydreaming. You are too much of a blunt head to create your own techniques!¡¯


    Jie bowed once more to the boys who are too busy bickering between them, before he dashed away unceremoniously.


    ¡®Bye Senior!¡¯ They both shouted as loud as possible ensuring he would hear them.


    After half an incense stick to burn, the rest of the carcasses moved into the young lads dimension rings.


    ¡®Woooooo. He killed 34 alone. We have a story to tell once we get back.¡¯ As Raquan said happily.


    ¡®OW! What was that for this time?!¡¯ he cried out in pain as he received another piercing elbow nudge.


    ¡®You are so slow in the head. If we tell them Jie killed all the Boars master will make us go out and hunt again! Think sometimes you stick wielding moron.¡¯ His friend critiqued him.


    Dashing away from the scene of slaughter, he moved to wipe the sweat of his brow. Still not enough, just few breaths of utilizing the wind had left me drained. If I didn¡¯t kill the leader, I would have required help to finish the final three.¡¯


    Dashing away he clenched his fists tighter. His speed was nowhere near the speed he entered the forest with, but he made his way back skipping through the town.

 Chapter 20: Destiny forged, re-emergence from a dreamscape

    Jie returned back to his master¡¯s residence.


    The Tiandi School Master was as still, he didn¡¯t look back just grunted as if to say, ¡®good job, you barely made it in time¡¯.


    Jie approached his master, and just moved into the lotus position. The Tiandi School master began slowly, ¡®Jie, you¡¯ve made it to the third star rank, your capabilities far outstrip this current small world. Such a talent has blossomed in such a small world. Even in the inner conclave of planets a sage master¡¯s rise is extremely rare. Do you... know what a sage master is?¡¯ when he finished speaking, the Tiandi Master looked intriguingly at Jie.


    ¡®I don¡¯t know much about it, but from what I know master, from what you told me that is. It¡¯s a Martial Artist who is able to combine two elements together, utilise two separate elements to bring forth much greater power to amplify one¡¯s own body.


    However, the rarity of such a user, you said would number in the 10¡¯s of thousands even throughout the whole galaxy...¡¯


    ¡®Aye. Part of that is true. In actuality there is more than one way to become a sage master. You don¡¯t have be born with double seeds. There are more malicious ways of attaining the title of ¡®sage master¡¯ with a thought the Tiandi School Master looked a little sad at such a notion. Jie interjected caught in the moment of talking of great power his adrenaline was pumping throughout his body. ¡®Yes master, the other way to kill opposing martial artists and absorb their seeds. However... you said such a sage master is a failure, and will never attain a true sage master¡¯s power or capabilities of moulding both elements together?¡¯ Jie finished his words with curiosity on his face.


    ¡®Aye... Aye that is what I said. The true amount of sage master¡¯s in this universe numbers in the thousands.¡¯ Jie jumped at the notion, ¡®only a thousand!? So master... then me! I am a true sage master?¡¯ The notion of being in the top one thousands of power houses was truly too tempting. Even for a child who has been training his heart and mind since little of age to become a true master.


    ¡®Yes. It is true. When I first touched your seed and inspected your body I was truly astounded. The reason why such bodies are rare is because they drive too much power from the world to create such magnificent seeds and power. If too much of these seeds are born the world would be unbalanced.¡¯ The Tiandi master looked back at Jie, then he slowly raised his head to the sky and continued, ¡®Jie there is also more approachable methods to become a sage master or something of a similar calibre which the united nations martial arts federation has been trying to achieve for quite some time now and they have made amazing progress on that path... however to me if that power is not yours then it is impure and isn¡¯t natural and will upset the balance of the world even more. Jie looked much more lost in thought at what was said. Jie, trying to calculate and understand the world on a greater spectrum. But how could he? He has only seen this small planet and nothing else.


    ¡®Let us not get carried away by such magnificent notions. Let¡¯s focus on what is before us. You have already reached the 3rd stage of the Tianshang Jiang. I have already provided you with the later stages of the breathing technique, and a few of my clan¡¯s secret techniques. I am not able to pass everything to you, as the Tiandi clan is a major clan and requires greater efforts to become a core member. But with your abilities that shouldn¡¯t be too difficult, and not to mention you are my direct disciple.¡¯


    Jie suddenly had a thought and asked, ¡®Master, I have always trained, fed and lived with you. But you never spoke of why you, who seems to suppress all other masters of this planet, lives on such a small planet. If I was to guess, I wouldn¡¯t dare say you are lower than a clan master...¡¯ Maybe he overstepped, but Jie wanted to learn more of the Tiandi School.


    ¡®um, it could be said. Once I was the true leader of the Tiandi School. I gave it all up though, I was carried away by power once and sought to do something I should never have. It affected my heart and my martial arts. Now I am cursed forever to give into hatred and pain.¡¯ As he said so, his face was filled with resentment. Jie had wanted to say something, but to cheer up a man with such deep pain would be fruitless. Better they both swallow the pain together, as he thought so he put his hand on his master¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡®Haha. But you came along Jie, once the Martial Arts convoy comes to greet me, and the Iron Body School arrive. I will arrange for you to be taken to the next sector, to continue your training without any problems. There will be no need for you to look or be selected by any other schools as the Tiandi School is already the greatest. Under their tutelage you will excel further than anybody...¡¯


    Jie turned slowly, to look at his master, he sounded out in a low volume, ¡®so, will you be coming with me master?¡¯ The tiandi school master looked at the ground, the ground was crystal clear without a spec of dirt or dust. Images played out slowly atop the stones. Images of the past seven years, a kid growing up unable to understand martial arts, slowly eclipsing his own master. Images of love and life filled his mind...

    ¡®Master master! Looook at this ball of wind hehehehehe, now I can fight you!¡¯ ... ¡®great, great Jie my boy!¡¯ slowly he was being lost to it.


    ¡®Master prepare yourself for the canon!¡¯


    ¡®Hold on you darn fool don¡¯t splash the water on me, its super cold!¡¯


    ¡®Arrgh to late! God dammed....¡¯


    ¡®Hahahahahahaha....¡¯ Voices of fun and playfulness flooded throughout his mind.


    A little while later, ¡®Master?¡¯ The sudden call awoke the Tiandi School Master.


    ¡®Aye Jie, I am still alive an¡¯ kickin¡¯. Ha. No I must say, I can¡¯t go back, I don¡¯t have the desire nor will to go back to such a chaotic scene. It will only add fire to the fuel. I think, I will farther one more child and die a happy man. Maybe I¡¯ll even name my child Jie... haha wouldn¡¯t that be amazing, so even after you leave I will still get to speak and train with you...¡¯


    Jie looked back at his master, he didn¡¯t have anything to say. Listening to his master expound on Martial Arts was what he liked the most... but maybe he should have talked a bit more with this man he came to love and learn more about him. He had come to understand he knew very little of him, so he asked as a question sparked up in his mind. ¡®Master. If I am to not see you again for a very long time, would you mind telling me your name... I know you once said you feel shame carrying this name, but to I Jie, my master¡¯s name is my honour.¡¯


    A gaze flickered of deep love in the Tiandi School Master¡¯s eyes, it was a gaze of love and pride. Such a student had been brought up by him, he said with pride ¡®It is Heiran... Heiran Tiantang.¡¯


    Student and master, sat in the courtyard quietly. Nothing able to affect them.


    A chaotic air filled the lower region of the planet, winds raged and the sky burned. The ground glistening with crystals lit up the ground rummaging of the night sky making it look even more spectacular.


    Leiming sat atop Ban Ban, in the lotus position trying to recover from his miserable state. Chihong of the side, was giving cautious looks to Wenrou, with a hint of maliciousness contained in her eyes. She kept thinking ¡®I was only in battle for a mere five minutes, how could a boy who hasn¡¯t practiced martial artist injure Lei?!¡¯


    Wenrou¡¯s whole body still looked strained. The grunting sounds coming forth from him was extremely unsettling. Neither Chihong nor Leiming knew what was exactly going on. However, deep inside Wenrou¡¯s mind a turmoil of pain and darkness was taking place.


    A darkness surrounded him, in the distance twelve seats stood alone. He tried to move closer to no avail.


    A hand moved from behind pulling him further back!


    He looks up he sees a black mass burning the world!


    He didn¡¯t know why. Only he was there, only he stood in it¡¯s way only he could stop it! But why him? ¡®Why me?¡¯


    He looked down, but nothing. It¡¯s empty.


    He chooses not to fight it! He drops his guard.


    The fiery mass eclipses him!


    He died, burnt to ash! Nothing left. Just darkness.


    ¡®Arrgh! Master!¡¯ Wenrou woke up from his deep slumber panting and coughing. ¡®This feeling! The world it¡¯s changed?! How?! Why is it so hot, why does the ground feel so wet, what is this noise it¡¯s so loud!?¡¯ Master, my eyes it¡¯s so bright! What¡¯s going on!?¡¯


    Wenrou awoke from confusion into confusion. What we¡¯re those images he saw? Never mind that, Wenrou didn¡¯t understand this change that happened to him. The world had changed over night. He felt something surging inside him, like a swirling hunger, deep chains attached to his body locking him to this world. He felt extremely strange, yet extremely satisfying at the same time. What was this change? The world was filled with brighter, vibrant colors. The wind felt gentler, yet felt like he could let it take him to greater places. Everything changed, his perception had increased.


    Leiming noticed the strange looks on Wnerou¡¯s face. The motion of his hands the position of his body. Wenrou slowly discovered the acute changes all around his body. Leiming looked at him smilingly he waved his hand to get Wenrou¡¯s attention, ¡®your body has now felt the movement of Qi, it would be strange to see or feel the world as you did earlier. There is so many minute changes taking place upon your body that the world before was, how can I put it? Dull, void of colors. Now Qi is making you feel ecstasy, everything is changing for your body. Doyou feel that rush in your body?¡¯


    ¡®I.. I do, it feels so great. I feel so powerful like I could crush rocks with my bare hand! This feeling is amazing¡¯ Wenrou could only stare at amazement his body felt so elated, so jubilant his cells his skin was undergoing extreme changes every second.

 Chapter 21 : Enclosing danger, first breath, first step

    Spoiler: Spoiler<input class="spoilerButton" type="button" value="Show">


    Thundering dragon! Im back!


    chapter 21: Enclosing danger, first breath, first step


    Spoiler:


    A few days had passed since the events that occured on Yin Long planet. Wenru couldn''t believe it but his master was injured, what didnt make sense was the injury wasn''t light and every time he questioned Leiming, he was told to forget about it.


    Eventually, Wenrou ceased asking anymore questions related to the incident. After all it was all a massive blur to him. Not to mention he was absorbed by all the changes happening to his body.


    Leiming was just a mere metre away from Wenrou. He looked up, and spoke to the boy who was in a lotus position utilising a breathing technique.


    ''Your body is extremely feeble right now. The amount of Ki coursing throughout your body is truly immense. To be able to extract all of that Ki, from your Dantian, your body must be strong enough to withstand the pressure of the Ki. Your muscles, skin and bones have to act as canals guiding the Ki, if it is weak it will collapse. Worse, shatter!


    Wenrou, over the past few days has constantly listened to his master lecture. He knew his bodies conditions better than anybody else. Everytime, he moved the Ki from his Dantian, it was agony. He felt the bones shatter into tiny parts. His muscles would distort. The one time he managed to move Ki to his fist, he felt the feeling of complete swelling. Swelling like his fist would pop under the immense pressure of the Ki.


    He nodded, staying in complete silence continuing the breathing excersise. He would be seated in the lotus position, occasionally he would move his hands in a circular motion as if drawing the outline of a planet and bring them together. This breathing technique was known as the chained lightning breathing technique. It was personally passed to Wenrou, from Leiming.


    Before passed onto him, Leiming and Wenrou both swore an oath of blood. Both cutting their hands and touching their wounds together a blood pact was formed as both Leiming and Wenrous Ki touched. A sacred bond was created, thus allowing Leiming the proper authority to train Wenrou as an official desciple. The bond was set so that Wenrou, would never expose the breathing techniques special trait and all the teachings of Leiming.


    He remembered what Leiming had told him before he swore the oath. ''These breathing techniques and arts that I will teach you is extremely important that you do not show anybody how they are performed. These techniques are ancient and the most powerful techniques that belong to me and my school. My school has only one descendant, there was just me and now, there is you.'' Leiming had a stern look and he continued as he noticed Wenrou shrugging of the importance. ''If anybody finds out you are my direct desciple, not only will you be killed for these techniques, but you will be tortured till not even a body is left for your mother to recognize!''


    Wenrou didn''t look phased at all, not taking the words seriously he was jubilant at not only the vhanges to his body at that time but he was being trained by probably the very best! He said in a playful manner ''Not to worry master, as long as we are together who will dare touch me?''


    They both continued to stay in complete silence, Wenrou practised the breathing techniques with utmost diligence. There was something special about him as he trained, it looked like he had done this many times before. It looked completely natural. Slowly the morning came to a closure, and Leiming began to instruct Wenrou. ''We have to strengthen your physique, not only to withstand the immense Ki, but tomprepare your body to channel an elemental power.'' As the word ''elemental power'' was spoken, Wenrou lost all concentration and his eyes opened wide sparkling.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    Leiming ignired Wenrous gaze and continued, ''to stregnthen the physique we will go to the basics. The kost fundamental way to strengthen thr body! Running laps, squats, situps and press ups!'' This kethod was extrmely basic, Wenrou had a look of dissapointment when Leiming only mentioned something so simple. He looked up at Leiming, some of the sparkling in his eyes faded as he said. ''Master... what the hell technique is that to strengthen the body? How will I catch upto the 16 years I''ve lost with the most basic method? There has to be another way to bypass that and to strengthen the body quicker!''


    There was no possible way in Wenrous mind that the most basic stuff anybody could do from a farmer to a merchant that would help him quickly close the years he missed. If it was this simple, why would he need a master at this point?


    Leiming leaned in to speak to Wenrou, like he had discovered something and was willing to sell it to Wenrou. He said, ''You have something nobody else, are you ready to hear what it is.''


    Wenrou slightly looked confused, he leaned in as well, he asked in a curious tone ''what is it master?''


    ''Determination'' Leiming leaned back with a satisfied look. This word could answer everything for him when it concerned Wenrou.


    ''Are you serious?! Fucker, I wish people told me that when I was a kid I wish somebody had said this to me then!'' His voice was sarcastic and he looked down on Leiming. Leiming noticed this and wasn''t going to be shouted at by a kid.


    Leiming looked extremely agitated, he slightly clenched his jaw which made a cracking sound as his teeth rubbed each other. Wenrou seeing this action, swallowing his next set of words and quickly got up. He asked in a conceeding tone, ''what should I domfirst master?'' Coupled with his obediant tone, Leiming looked pissed off. This kid could play the little bitch roll to escape a beating. He said nonchalantly ''50 laps around the city. If you can''t even do this don''t even consider eating tonight! Now scram you little rat!''


    ''Ah fuck 50 laps!! Is this real!?'' 50 laps? This is impossible the xia ban city wasn''t massive, but it would take at least 50 minutes for a lap... as Wenrou thought of this, was there even enough hours left to finish 50 laps?? It''s an impossible feat...


    ''ban ban go look after him, dom''t get to close, let him concentrate on his running.''


    ''rarara'' ban ban flew up in the air. Following behind Wenrou.


    Wenrou seeing Ban Ban follow felt pleased. At least when he collapses from this impossible task Ban Ban will give him a ride home. ''Ban Ban come on you little baby let''s go!'' Wenrou shouted to him, ban ban hearing Wenrou shout him forgot Leimings orders and quickly flew next to him.


    Leiming seeing this just heaved a deep sigh. They were both idiots, how did he end up with both of them?


    The moment Ban Ban and Wenrou departed a deep red light bloomed and died. ''You took him officially as your desciple? This... you have never agreed to train anybody before, even when the alliance sent over deciples with much greater aptitude than him? Not only that, you never took a liking to any of them, but it seems different with him... why?''


    Naturally this was Chihong, she was confused by this change in Leimings demeanor. He didn''t resemble the ruthless killer he is. He changed overnight to a low-key martial artist. Not even that his devil aura had dissipated only a tranquil master remained. This change was far to outrageous. The master of the heavenly chained lightning. The twelve steps tournament dominator and the man who warred against the martial arts alliance federation alone...


    ''You know our breathing technique passed by father! Has twelve points to completely master, not only that when the first twelve points are mastered the breathing technique is extremely unfathomable and anybody without a divine element will be unable to complete even one step. This boy... this boy he has already completed the first step!''


    ''What? How, just how is that possible?! You have the Chained Lightning Technique, me the Blazing Sun Domain... not only that your technique nobody except you has mastered all twelve points since the start of time... you even said nobody else could ever master a single step without the ability to comprehend such a volatile breathing technique, but the strain on the body is immeasureable...''


    ''The great master, your father once allowed me to test the breathing technique. At that time I had already mastered 6 steps of my breathing technique and stepped into the rank of elemental bound god. Yet, yet! I almost destroyed my Dantian trying to manifest the first step within my body! Nothing about him makes sense... is it not safer to...'' as Cihong comtinued she hesistated, ''safer to dispose of him? If the Martial arts federation captures him he will be dangerous to us in the future.''


    ''Who says they will capture him? I could always take him with us to the Alliance.'' Leiming said as he entered in a state of thought.


    Chihong thought for a bit then interjected the quiet atmosphere, ''Even though his mind snd Dantian is special, there is still the problem of his body.''


    ''I know, right now even I havn''t got a clue about how to change that. We will cross that bridge once we get to it.''


    thanks for readig guys, hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you thouht of it so far!

 Chapter 22: A dog

    Thundering Dragon!


    Chapter 22: A dog


    Chihong, and Leiming we''re both still having a discussing Wenrous situation, as well as the bizarre status of his body.


    ''Wait... you once said that the first step requires the lightning to chain the Dantian to the elemental seed. The meridians must support this phenomenal change within the body. Not only that Leiming, but he hasn''t trained in any type of breathing technique... how did he pull it of?'' Leiming, simply looked up with a smile on his face. This female was extremely smart when it came to martial arts and has no equal who can talk evenly with her in this area.


    He simply smiled, ''there is a few bodies blessed. Wenrou is such a case. There has never been a case of a world pill making a move in my lifetime nor before our time. Many have tried to destroy a world pill, many tried to absorb it, and many tried various methods to release the amount of Ki, trapped within the world pill. Nobody has succeeded once, but this boy released a flame that burnt the very world pill, which melted the Ki, residing within. You saw this with your very own eyes, no?''


    Chihong looked lost for a moment. She never quite understood that scene, nothing like this has ever happened before. She has never read anything like this, nor heard of such a thing. She had even doubted it was a world pill. She definitely would have doubted hearing it, only she had seen this with her very own eyes! How could she be so ignorant, or stupid to not think anything of it?


    Leiming smiled even more, just observing someone whose world is growing bigger infront of them was truly fascinating sight. He simply coughed lightly, continuing he slowly said ''I''ve already inspected his body at that time. He has twelve cores! Not only that, his Dantian is pure black, even my own Ki, was burnt coming into contact with it. We have heard of something similar to this haven''t we?''


    Chihong''s eyes darted along the ground, she was clearly thinking through her memories and information of what it could all mean. She stopped, looking back up at Leiming, seemingly coming to a consensus. She spoke, woth an astonished look ''Twelfth pulse body? But, it doesn''t make sense. The only other person who had such a heaven defying physique is no longer apart of this world! I don''t believe it, not one second that his descendant has been hidden for so long!?''


    Leiming looked thouhtful for a moment as well. The world pill is formed after a sun dies in a galaxy. Even a sun has a breathing technique the amount of eons it practices a breathing technique, slowly accumulating Ki, and world essence allows it to burn brighter and stronger! Once it dies, all of the residual Ki, forms in the shape of a world pill. However, to this day only three world pills have been acquired successfully after a world sun died.


    These pills had become nothing more than myths and tales. Something that lost value over time. People began to slowly forget about world pills. So many tried to make a miracle happen with world pills but it all ended up for naught. Many lost interest, and eventually over time nobody gave a damn about them!


    ''What''s truly scary about Wenrou, is not that he absorbed the Ki within the world pill... but the fact that his body still hasn''t collapsed underneath all of that pure energy!''


    Chihong had never realised this. Only upon hearing Leiming did she connect the dots. She was instantly shocked and horrified. ''The amount of pure Ki within a world pill... it''s a miracle he hasn''t exploded due to the pure Ki overflowing his Dantian!''


    ''However, there is far to many obstacles in his path right now. His skin is still dirty, his pores are tightly shut. His inner meridians are still convoluted and worn down. Even if he managed to train his body and open up his meridians slowly, the pure Ki, would only become dirty and contaminated resulting in all of that pure Ki coming out extremely slow and weak. Weaker than it could ever be!'' Leiming looked extemely stressed thinking about the impossible happening, only for the gods to play a cruel joke on Wenrou. The Ki, was pure within his Dantian, however the moment he moved the Ki, through his meridians and skin it was like water being filtered through closed funnel. The Ki that eventually passed through would be extremely weak and dirty.


    Leiming abruptly stopped his thinking and conversation with Chihong, looking towards Xia Ban city ''Oh? Ban ban is calling for help. It seems he ran into trouble again...'' he thought to himself.


    Chihong picked up on the changes and asked him, ''Is it Ban ban?''


    Leimin only nodded and flashed away from his position moving towards ban bans distress signal.


    Wenrou managed to complete 19 laps. His body felt absolutely wrecked. He kept eating moutful of air, afraid if he didnt he couldnt breath any longer. He slid down on a tree a few metres away from the city walls. It was a desolate area. Only a few people were currently here.


    Ban ban was preoccupied with chasing little animals and licking them in the most unceremoniously fashion. Ra''win and his group of mates where wondering the city when they noticed the cripple running around, as if he was training. This made them all itch with anger, that day he had been beaten till he dropped like a deflated ball. His anger still hadn''t dissapeared it was growing inside of him, like a festering wound waiting for his chance to meet somebody who he could show all of his friendly side to.


    Seeing, Wenrou stay still he moved towards him. His face showing a sort of smile, but upon seeing this smile anybody could notice it was suppresing the pure rage inside of him. He laughed, while saying ''this little bitch is still playing martial arts''.


    His boys laughed, the laugter woke Wenrou from his slight daze. Peeking out he saw the four lads walking towards him. He was truly exhausted, he couldn''t be bothered with this group. He only wanted to rest now, so as to complete another lap. He tried to keep quiet, but the group of lads only moved closer.


    Seeing this, he knew he was getting out of this unscathed. He grit his teeth, and pulled his body up, using the support of the tree.


    His body looked tired, and exhausted. Leaning against the tree to keep his body up.


    ''Look boys, a dog standing on two feet. Not even a circus has this, hahaha!'' Wenrou hated the word dog, he had heard this word far to many times growing up, this word was an insanely irritating word for him. It would tick him of immediately.


    He only continued to look at Ra''win and his boys. Ra''win seeing Wenrou''s dirty gaze only made him angrier. He clenched his fist and grit his teeth, he leaped at wenrou moving like a monkey swinging of the branches, his two knees crashed into Wenrous chest.


    Wenrou only a bit away from the tree, was flung hitting the tree and falling to the floor. Ra''win felt a sense of superiority. Seeing the single move rendering his opponent dead. Just as he turned around to celebrate with his friends, he heard an annoying sound. He only slowly turned around, with a curious look, he asked ''did you say something dog? Can you even s-p-e-a-k~?''Stolen novel; please report.


    His tone was clearly derogatory towards Wenrou. He was slightly startled, he wasn''t knocked unconcious of that strike? The more he thought how this weakling wasn''t lying on the ground dead of his vicious strike, the crazier he got!


    Coughing blood out his lungs, Wenrou on all four legs only lightly said with all the strength im his body, ''I said, is that all you got you dumb fucker. Your moves full of openings idiot'' after finishing his speech, he slightly laughed, the slight laughter turned louder.


    Ra''win was being laughed at. It was truly embarrasing, anybody could knock this cripple out with serious strike. He even bragged on the way up. What made it worse was his mates also laughed along. Laughing at the cripples jokes? Ra''win got pissed of, he moved closer to Wenrou wih a single step. He grabbed him by the hair, pulling him up.


    Wenrou could only grunt. He didn''t have the true strength to fight Ra''win yet. But he was good at taking beatings. Ra''win was merciless he kneed Wenrou in the chest, his knee was especially piercing. However, it didn''t stop there. As he dropped Wenrou, he elbowed him across the back of the head as Wenrou was grimacing in pain on the floor. Trying to catch his breath, he was suffocating.


    Ra''win didn''t stop he continued to strike Wenrou in the sides. Each strike carrying greater strength. ''Haha, talk now bitch. You don''t know when to be quiet.''


    This scene was becoming more and more out of hand. It was only supposed to be a strike or two, but now Ra''win had took it to far, some of his friends seeing this stepped forward. ''Ra''win come on man. This is taking it a little to far now, his rib cage looks fucke, and he''s having trouble breathing. Come on, we can go find enjoyment elsewhere.'' As he said he touched Ra''win on the shoulder to pull him of.


    Wenrou looked truly angered, in a knelt position felt his body going numb. He felt like this before, everytime he moved Ki, his body felt ecstasy it felt stronger, more powerful. He gradually condensed Ki from his Dantian, forcefully moving it to his wrist. He was trying to maintain concentration, even as Ra''win rained furious blows on him. He wanted to fight back so desperately. His body wouldn''t listen, the Ki halted at his wrist but he didn''t know how to execute it. He Recalled a piece of advice from his master before he unleashed his blow.


    ''If you don''t want to lose your limbs, don''t execute the Ki within your body! No matter what!'' Remembering his masters words of wisdom, he retracted the Ki.


    His gaze had unknowingly also darkened, became even fiercer. Ra''win who was in full view, was startled awake. He muttered to himself ''He''s still not unconcious? His eyes, was he always like this?'' The gaze was truly fierce, it halted Ra''win for a second.


    Suddenly he felt his friend touch him on the shoulder. Taking his mind of Wenrou''s gaze he became furious. Ra''win knocked his hand away. Continuing the relentless beating on Wenrou.


    Ban ban just now heard Wenrous grunting. To his shock, he had been distracted following the sound he saw Wenrou on the ground, his head bloodied, and body in wounds. ''RARARAAAAAAA'' furious ban ban flew straight for Ra''win.


    ''Ah, what the fuck is that?'' Some of the lads behind saw Ban Bans descent from afar. It truly looked malicious, such massive teeth, such a furious looking beast was flying towards them!


    ''Impossible, it''s moving so fast. It''s coming towards us, what... what the hell!?'' Confused the group bickered between them as they each created space from Ra''win. Every man for themselves, their defensive mindset kicked in, noticing the trajectory of Ban Ban was aimed at Ra''win.


    One of the lads, quickly shouted to the absorbed Ra''win. ''Watch out Ra''win! To your left!!''


    Ra''win heard the shout, with a face full of smiles he just glanced to the left. Only to see a giant pebble, with large white teeth flying to him at immense speed! The enraged ban ban was truly frightening! His speed far surpassed these mere children! He Is an extremely rare fish, even within his species! A rock fish, who can fly is extremely rare and special! His flight speed couldn''t be compared to on this planet, and Ra''win he was no match. Just barely noticing the giant pebble flying straight at him, he only had time to cross his arms in a protective manner before it collided wih him!


    He didn''t have time to think, only to protect. He grunted in pain. It was like a giant rock face had slammed into him, his body rolled and flew a few metres away. Landing on his knees, he didn''t have time to look up, he moved to run away! Turning his head, using the distance created to escape.


    What was this? If that thing was that fast, could he really escape it? This fearful thought crept into his mind. This sort of thought made him slower, and sloppier like shackles around his feet. His movements clearly resembled he was in both shock and fear. He didn''t get far before his feet collapsed under him.


    Ban ban hadn''t hit him with full force because Wenrou was right next to him. He looked down, seeing Wenrou motionless on the floor, infuriated him! His mouth grew bigger, his body slightly bulged he let out a fierce shout ''RA RA RAAA'' he moved even faster this time, with no limits. How dare somebody atrack his only friend? He was incapable of smart thought, he was still relatively a child, and just like a child he was cross!


    ''Listen you baby! Don''t do anything stupid till I get there!'' Leimings voice, resounded in Ban Bans mind, it was futile. Ban ban didn''t hesitate he moved extremely fierce straight at Ra''win.


    Ra''win saw the pebble of death, his body lost all control. He leaked his pants involuntarily. He closed his eyes in fear, he wasn''t strong enough to face it head on.


    This was truly the first time he was in a death-like situation. How did it end up like this? It''s all that boys fault, that thing attacked me because of him. As he thought so, his anger towards Wenrou went darker and deeper.


    ''Ban..Ban. You big baby what are... you doing!'' Wenrou''s feeble voice boomed out, immediately Ban ban took notice!


    Ra''win still in a kneeling position. His urine all over his lower half. He heard the words as well. His eyes closed, he clenched his face even harder feeling the pebble of death enclose on him. But nothing happened? A gentle breeze hit his face. Ofcourse this gentle breeze felt like a wind whipping which resulted in his face being bloodied, his body also tossed and turned a few more metres away!


    The lads seeing this scene was left stupefied! A mere few words left this giant pebble of death completely harmless. No! What was even more shocking was the cripple managed to crawl back upto four legs, even in his current condition.


    Wenrou just looked at ban ban, even when he is bloody this giant rock fish would still lick him. Immediately, after a single lick most of the blood vanished. Wenrou, only patted ban ban on the head. He looked tired, and hurt but he knew that ban ban would certainly kill Ra''win. He didn''t wish for such an innocent thing to easily kill other living beings, even for him. It wasn''t natural.


    Ra''win saw the affectionate bond between the cripple and this giant pebble. He slowly felt even more irritated. Was he saved by him? He didn''t understand what irritated him more, that Wenrou had a friend who was truly caring about him or that he spared his life after beating him to an inch of his life?


    Nevertheless, he was still in fear. He couldn''t move. Just as everyhing almost settled down, a brilliant flash appeared in the sky, like the sky was split open, it was truly to fast. A man had appeared, Ra''win seeing this man, could only say his prayers. This was the man who beat him till he deflated like a ball!


    ''Master, it''s good that your here. I finished nineteen laps...'' Wenrou said solemnly, like he forgot what happened here.


    Leiming was understanding, Wenrou didn''t want him to fight his battles. Although, he thought like this. He was truly angered this time, it wouldn''t take half a thought to kill such a person. Just that single look of Wenrou, managed to wash away his burning desire to kill. He looked back, he only asked ''what happened here?''


    Wenrou only coughed lightly and said ''nothing, just a few pointers by these trained fighters. It''s nothing, lets go back to camp.'' He swept away some of his blood, tidying up his hair a bit. He moved standing up, bowed to his master and climbed back up on ban ban.


    He was truly angry, but he wouldn''t ask for help for such a shameless act of asking his master to kill or punish people on his behalf. He didn''t think more on it, he had always been beaten, until he had the strength to fight back on his own he would continue to taste these beatings. It''s what slowly drived him to his goal!


    Leiming couldn''t do anything. If Wenrou didn''t ask for help, he wouldn''t force the issue. Seeing man, beast and boy dissapear. The lads was truly sighed in relief. The ones who saw him, beat Ra''win last time only shuddered at the thought. But what was this? The cripple actually let them go?


    They moved towards Ra''win who was still knelt lost in thought. ''Master? That guys training the cripple?'' Seeing his friends move closer, in his pitiful state he barked, ''leave me here alone go without me''


    Hearing his harsh tone, the lads didn''t say anything. Just nodding, they departed together. Leaving behind Ra''win.


    let me know what you think!

 Thundering Dragon: First form, First Art

    Leiming ordered Ban Ban to travel much slower back to camp. He wished to enjoy the scenery, ever since the events occurred the horizon towards the lower half of the planet looked mesmerizing. Enjoying such a scene was everybodys right.


    Leiming glanced over at Wenrou who seemed down and gloomy. He nonchalantly inquired ''what''s the matter Wenrou?''


    Wenrou''s head still hung low. He just quietly whispered ''Sorry to have caused you trouble again master. It was my fault..''


    ''Haha.. is that what your worried about?'' The sudden change in Leiming''s voice jolted Wenrou from his gloomy expression. He looked up with a curious gaze, he curiously asked ''what''s so funny?''


    ''You''ve already made me proud, you didn''t ask for me to fight your battles and most of all you didn''t fight back in anger...'' as he said so he smilingly looked at Wenrou. He continued after a slight pause ''if you really did strike him with all that Ki, swelling up in your wrist, you would have exploded your his head along with your hand.''


    Wenrou looked a little skeptical at what his master had said. He looked at his fist, only to feel the swelling throb it could make sense in a way. If all of that Ki, came exploding out maybe it''s true that his fist would explode. However, he still held his doubts to himself.


    Leiming could see what Wenrou was thinking to himself. Reading people''s expression is a form of lesson all martial artists should be open to. Noticing that Wenrou still had slight disbeliefs, he scoffed and said ''go ahead and try to punch the air, release all that trapped Ki. See if you still have your wanking hand in a minute. Haha.''


    Whatever notions Wenrou had, or disbliefs flew out his mind. He just embarrasingly looked up and muttered ''don''t go shouting that everywhere! Fucker!''


    ''Ey'' watch who your calling a fucker you piece of shit!'' Leiming slapped Wenrou in a reflex action.


    ''Hahaha, sorry master. Forgive your shitty desciple'' Wenrou bowed to Leiming, but then Leiming also couldn''t hold it in he joined in laughing as well ''Haha. Don''t worry shitty desciple your shittymaster will teach you everything in time.''


    They both continued to laugh calling each other shitty, which made ban ban also join in shouting ''Rarara''


    Suddenly, Wenrou and Leiming stopped laughing. Looking seriously at Ban Ban which in turn made Ban Ban worry somehimg was up. All of a sudden the atmosphere tensed up. Leiming slapped Ban Ban on the head softly and said ''Your the only shitty baby here'' both Wenrou and Leiming tried to keep a straight face for as long as they could. It didn''t last for two breaths time as they both broke into howling laughter immediately after.


    Ban Ban was a but confused but seeing Leiming and Wenrou suddenly broke into more laughter which made him more delighted. Also, the word shitty baby sounded extremely funny to him. He swam through the air screaming ''Rararitty raraby''.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    As they made there way back to camp, Leiming moved closer to Wenrou. Slapping his wrist and then moving his palm from his swollen wrist back to his shoulder he dispersed all of the trapped Ki.


    He slowly continued, as he inspected Wenrou ''The body is a vessel for Ki. You move it through your  Meridians, and blood stream. The tendons, bones and muscles act as a canal. It is extremely important that you understand this. In the future don''t do anything rash okay? Not if you want to hop to where your going.''


    Wenrou only nodded. Leiming got up to walk to his quarters. As he walked further away, he casually mentioned ''get some rest for the laps tomorrow.''


    Wenrou''s face slightly convulged at that, Leiming quickly added ''In a week I will show you your first Art!'' As he was walking away, he moved closer to a stone boulder slightly greater than him in height. Throwing out his left hand he punched the boulder in a straight forward fashion. It looked so calm as he did it. He retracted him arm and slowly walked back to his personal quarters.


    Wenrou looked a little dissapointed. Nothig happened, actually no! There''s something on the stone boulder now? He got up and ran towards it in an excited fashion. As he got closer, his excitement turned dull. It was just a small crack?


    He casually placed his hands on the boulder, trying to inspect the crack. However, nothing unusal happened... ''maybe the crack was already there?'' He thought quietly to himself.


    He looked dejectedly at the stone boulder. He turned back to walk to his bed, with his hands in his pockets. He took a few steps to hear an eroding sound take place behind him. The sound slowly started of quietly but eventually grew. It was like insects eroding bark!


    He turned round in a wary fashion only to jump out his spot in fear! The stone boulders front side was completely fine, but that wasn''t what startled him. The rest of the boulder behind the front bit had completely eroded, vanished! How was this possible?


    He quickly walked back over, his steps much faster this time. The crack was still there, the front of the boulder was still intact, but past that part had all crumbled into dust! It was truly scary, his mind couldn''t make sense of it at all.


    ''How is that possible?'' He exclaimed in his heart.


    After examing the boulder for as long as he could. He hugged it and kissed it, this would soon be his first Martial Arts!


    He returned to his bed, but he couldn''t sleep. He kept rememberig Leimings movement, imprinted in his kind he began to slowly decipher the secrets of what had happened. As he thought about it, he began to quietly drift of to sleep.


    Wenrou had fallen asleep for awhile now. The sky was pitch black. The clouds slowly drifted in the sky, like a set of jewelry adorning a beautiful dark maiden. Leiming could be seen sottimg over Wenrou, the amount of Ki, releasd by Wenrou while he was sleeping was astonishing. When he first saw this event occur was the first night since Wenrou absorbed the world pill, and the dark wenrou had nearly obliterated his right arm.


    He stayed still, slowly moving the excess Ki around Wenrou''s body ensuring nothingwas trapped or clotted. ''His body is releasing the Ki subconciously, his Dantian isn''t rotating but it is conciously releasing the Ki. Bythe looks of it a lot more tonight.'' He silently sounded.


    He only yawned, the amount of sleep he had sleep since that day was at most three to four hours a day. He slowly looked upto the night sky, so many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn''t help shudder as a few words arose in his mind. His face turned grim as the words reminded him of something he had nearly forgotten...


    ''You will kill someone close to you...'' like the slight breeze, the words entered and quickly left his mind. He only subconciously looked down at Wenrou, his only desciple to date.


    Although, the words quickly left. The damage was still done, his polite mood had been reverted to a violent aura of thunder and anger. He whispered a few small words in anger as he grinded his teeth ''wait for me to come back and relieve you of those vile eyes!''

 Thundering Dragon: Slow Progress

    Thundering Dragon: Slow progress


    Everyday Wenrou managed to attempt the laps around Xia Ban city. Each day was a new beginning, each day that passed he felt changes to his body. Maybe, from the outside it was insignificant but to him feeling it inside submitted him to a wondrous feeling.


    With the beginning of each day, before the morning rooster even had a chance to wake the neighbourhood up, Wenrou had already begun his primitive training. Laps around the city soon became a systematic schedule, he would try to complete.


    At first, he only managed to complete nineteen laps around the city. To his irritation he continued to complete 19 laps for the next few days, however it all slowly changed bit by bit. Something inside of him kick started, a jolt of energy would imbue within his body every night. He didn¡¯t understand what was happening, all he knew was that as soon as he woke he felt refreshed, also to his amazement he completed more laps in the following days.


    Each day he progressed, this progress to others would only be small. However, to Wenrou this is what he wished for. Right now he was just running around the city, he could feel his legs in strenuous pain. Absolutely sweating, his hair soaking and his clothes wet with blood. He was having difficulty breathing, he continuously pushed himself to the limit every day. Each day he would push harder.


    What more was that he would immediately bleed upon any sort of exercise that pushed him to his limits? So much Ki was pumping through his body that, his body the vessel of the Ki, was having a difficult time not collapsing underneath all of that pressure being exerted from the inside.


    ¡°Now it¡¯s 31. I need to complete another lap!¡± He raised his voice, raising his morale along with it. He continued on his designated path, blood dripping from all over his body. If somebody saw him like this, they would be immediately worried trying to help him. However, Wenrou had been trying to complete laps around the city had grew accustomed to his bloodied presence. Ban Ban just flew close by, observing him closely. He wouldn¡¯t let him out of his sight since the unfortunate events that occurred a few days ago.


    As Wenrou looked over to Ban Ban he could only curse himself for his bad luck. ¡°Look at that guy, what a fucker he can complete laps like it¡¯s nice walk around the park. His body retains millions of water as well the lucky bastard! I¡¯d love a nice cold water to drink from¡±


    Ban Ban noticed Wenrou looking at him, which is usually the signal he understood the most from Wenrou as it meant his laps are finished! A surge of joy rolled through his body, as he changed his trajectory flying straight for Wenrou.


    ¡°No you idiot, I¡¯m not finished yet!¡± Wenrou understood immediately what was happening, how could he not? He had spent far too much time with this child to know anything slight would catch his attention. All of his shouting was for naught. Before he could even finish his sentence Ban Ban was next to him, pinning him down!


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare Ban Ban! I¡¯m all sweaty, I don¡¯t need your saliva as well it¡¯s hard to wash off!¡±


    Ban Ban only looked curiously, was Wenrou mad at him? He couldn¡¯t detect a hint of true anger, he put the thought to the back of his mind! He flung out his mountainous pink tongue and slapped it straight onto Wenrou¡¯s body! With its mighty weight, and Wenrou¡¯s feeble body he was completely pushed into the ground lying flat. His huge tongue covered Wenrou¡¯s whole body.


    ¡°auhwqhadwao¡± Mumbled sounds came from beneath.


    ¡°Rararara¡± Ban Ban replied. Seemingly understanding the sound.


    ¡°aswanasdlkadkj¡± another set of mumbled sounds came forth from beneath.


    ¡°Rarara?¡± Ban Ban didn¡¯t understand this set of voices. He looked confused for a second. He slowly, slid his tongue down Wenrou, savouring a final long sweet lick. As his tongue slowly retracted back into his mouth, a young lads head popped out.


    ¡°Why, just why do you like to lick so much?¡± Wenrou, was all squashed together a form you take when your cold, and only had a kind of special look. A look that is manifested after many times of being wronged, but at a certain point you just don¡¯t care anymore.


    He had so many questions for this child, if only Ban Ban could answer why he liked to lick things so much. ¡°Well that trainings over, we might as well head back and see master.¡±


    ¡°RarararaRARA¡± Ban Ban was even more overjoyed.


    Chihong was sitting quietly atop a massive tree branch. Silently inhaling, channelling and distributing Ki. Practising her breathing technique, she was startled awake, ¡°A reply?¡± she though. Quickly, taking out a small piece of jade tablet, she held her palms directing Ki into.


    Quietly observing the stone a voice came from within, ¡°Chihong are you there?¡± Chihong looked surprised for a brief moment. She replied ¡°Yeah I am here. Why haven¡¯t you contacted me earlier?¡± Going straight to the main point.


    ¡°It¡¯s been difficult. So much movement in the alliance we just barely managed to get out¡± The voice continued. ¡°Anyways, the outer rim planets supposed to have low traffic, but all of a sudden it has come to the attention of the higher clans in the alliance¡±


    Must have been the sudden outburst of Wenrou¡¯s and Leiming¡¯s powers. I didn¡¯t help by releasing a large amount to destroy the Lightning Elements residual effects...


    It was true. The Alliance had gotten readings of the sudden Ki accumulation and outburst of the elements. As soon as the readings was received upon the Iron Demon Body¡¯s ship, the information was passed to many other alliance ships patrolling the planets. Now, that the information seemed concrete, the higher clans moved upon it as well mobilising elite forces.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Chihong looked distraught for a moment, she continued in a determined voice, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It continues as planned originally. Don¡¯t hesitate we will do as we promised your clan. Send the information of the pickup to me shortly and I will make plans to retrieve it!¡±


    After a moment of silence, the voice continued in a darker tone ¡°If you make a mistake it is on your head. You know who you will anger if this doesn¡¯t go as planned! Not only that Chihong, but the clan will be in an even worse predicament. If we lose another lady of the house the Alliance will have that much more control over us! This can¡¯t be tolerated anymore. Do you understand?¡± Chihong looked down at the tablet. A little annoyed, she thought to herself that they asked her help, not the other way around!


    ¡°Yes, yes. Don¡¯t worry. Have I ever let you down before?¡± A look of annoyance was written all over her face. She hated reassuring people, nothing was ever certain but some people liked to hear it. ¡°So is that all? Send the details to me, and I will move to receive!¡±


    ¡°Okay. Be careful.¡± The jade tablet went dull.


    Just a moment later, Ban Ban flew past Chihong. However, Ban Ban didn¡¯t notice at all. Wenrou was atop Ban Ban practising the breathing technique Leiming taught him. He still struggled to complete the full breathing exercise as the Ki began to move it would place huge strain on his body. It felt like the muscle, tendons and blood stream was being forcible stretched. Sometimes, the Ki would recoil causing in Ki collision within his bloodstream. He endured none the less. Although, he was taught the first step by Leiming, he was told never to attempt the second step. If the Ki did recoil, he body would burn up underneath all of that immense Ki moving within his body that he would be ripped to shreds.


    Only under the guidance of Leiming was he allowed to practice the second step slowly. Even then, it was unsure how long it would take Wenrou to master the second step of the breathing technique.


    As they flew by, Chihong concentrated on Wenrou. The breathing technique was not of the original Chained Lighting technique. But how could that be? Leiming said he had begun training in the chained lighting arts. This breathing technique? This technique, was slightly different but much more overbearing on the user!


    ¡°He is not practising the original breathing exercise. I would know if he was, I have trained in it myself! He taught that kid that technique?!¡± Furious! Chihong was absolutely furious as soon as she noticed the technique!


    She abruptly stood up, rotating Ki she flew out to find Leiming. Closing her eyes, she felt his presence practising his own breathing technique trying to recover his damaged arm and Ki.


    In a standing position, his body was flexible yet sturdy. His feet slowly moved around the grassy plain, his upper body moving in a motion moving gently with the breeze. Each move was like a dancing chain, tying up the surrounding, each move chained the atmosphere to his presence. As he moved, he breathed feeling the moving animals, the plants swaying in the wind the sun that was ever so slightly moving in the distant space. The wind that howled but brushed up against the rocky wall nearby.


    Feeling a familiar presence he stopped his routine. His top was naked, while he had a martial clothing on covering his lower half. He looked calm, his eyes we¡¯re still closed, he didn¡¯t open them maintaining his state. Discovering Chihong was just silently observing. Noticing she hadn¡¯t spoken yet. Opening his gaze, revealing a slight glint of dark crystalline thunder swirling within he looked over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°So calm after what you have done?¡± Chihong asked aggressively.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Leiming didn¡¯t understand at all. He didn¡¯t really care what happened either, he just wanted to continue to train.


    ¡°You taught him that breathing technique? You did something as careless as that!?¡± Like a dormant volcano, her aura released unconditionally into the atmosphere. The overbearing Ki in the area began to transform searing, turning into her domain.


    ¡°Why is it your concern? He is my disciple is he not?¡± Leiming didn¡¯t look concerned. Hinting he wanted to go back his training, he moved back into his training posture. Signalling Chihong to go away.


    ¡°You dare ignore this? She moved with a single step, where she moved a wave of intense burning sensation swelled up in the atmosphere!


    Leiming didn¡¯t even bother protecting himself. He didn¡¯t even flinch or move, standing as he was.


    Chihong moved to his side, grabbing him by the neck and ramming him into the nearby rock wall!


    All of this happened before a spark could fly of the end of a fire!


    Rushing Leiming into the rock wall, her claws dug deep into his neck. She was absolutely crazy. Once she thought of something, she would act upon it. Their gazes met, she was slightly shocked on the inside, he¡¯s still looking like he is innocent!


    ¡°Why did you teach him that technique? That technique was never supposed to exist! Because of that everything fell apart!¡±


    ¡°Release me.¡± that¡¯s all that was said by leiming, not a single level above his normal voice. But, it contained his unrestrained will. As he looked into Chihongs eyes, she slightly wavered under his dominating gaze.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand, everything that happened father¡¯s death. The alliance coveting techniques like that is the reason we are on the run. We don¡¯t know if our other brothers are still alive either, or what state they are in! Yet, even after your father¡¯s death you passed that technique onto another! Was his death meaningless to you!?¡±


    Leiming only looked silently, even though she was head strong she still felt feelings like grief. It was true, the Alliance moved on their world for this technique and many other like it. Their greed it what drove the current planetary systems to chaos and war.


    He only looked down, Chihong had still full grip of his neck. Her fingernails dug deep into his skin, and blood was flowing out slowly. He didn¡¯t look concerned at all. He moved his hand to release her tightly held clutch. Holding her hand as he removed hers.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that father¡¯s death is meaningless. The normal technique wasn¡¯t strong enough to release all of that trapped Ki within his body. Something of equal strength had to be used to maintain his Dantian. The only other technique was the heavenly dark dancing thunder chains breathing technique.¡±


    ¡°This technique might be overbearing, however he needed a power distribution technique on the same level as the all of the Ki swelling up inside his Dantian. Trust me, I wouldn¡¯t have taught him the secret technique without considering all of the facts!¡±


    Chihong was only silently listening, her gaze couldn¡¯t meet Leiming¡¯s she didn¡¯t want to be seen in her current state, her eyes misty from the thought of her loved ones separated from them.


    Leiming just continued, ¡°This technique was never meant for me nor my father. It turns users into demons, that¡¯s why it¡¯s known as a demon art. However, he is from a demon clan already. This art is befitting somebody of his heritage.¡±
