《The Eternal Dragon》 Prologue The Dragon Warrior Prologue The Dragon Warrior In the vast expansion of the raging rivers, outlets streams of water rushed clashing against rock. The cool spray of water covered the surrounding area in a cold low mist chilling the area. This is was the Water Dragons Realm, one of the top realms in the countless that existed. This place is were most of the realm is nurtured by the water making it one of the top. A tattered man stood in the middle of the raging river surrounded by countless other in the sky looking down unto him. The man was blooded and bleeding but his dark blue eye held not glint of surrender. His black hair hung low as his exposed body held long gashes with blood flowing out dropping unto the ground mixing in the water. Dammit I this is bad I guess I only have one choose left. He looked up at all the figures in the sky, clutching the pearl in his left hand. The Zodiac Pearl was a treasure that his clan had protected of decades and known as a sovereign artifact gifted to them. He was the last protector of the artifact and the last of his kind in the world. A women in black holding a blooded sword in her hand dripping blood. She floated above the man looking down of the man given a faint smile as she spoke to him. He clean green eye and blonde hear lay at her sided. The misty air made the white robe stick to her figure showing of the extremely lovely figure. She was like a goddess descended the realm but her every action would have you only think that a devil had come. "Yu-, no dragon warrior. For things to have developed this way is truly regrettable. I truly had no choose but to destroy the Dragon Clan. The treasure that they held could grant us the wish of absolute power and eternity. Why don''t you hand over the Zodiac Pearl to me? If you work with me we could be partners throughout this, your life would be spared if you join me." The Dragon Warrior channeled the divine energies within his body and coldly replied. "You have destroyed my family and killed my friends. We This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.once stood besides each other in battle against the demons horde but your greed has lead you to such a path. Sui Long you may have been able to destroy the Dragon Clan; but you will pay dearly for your sins." "Is that so? Then I guess there no more need to talk." Sui Long showed a air of indifference. She raised the blood sword in her right hand as it gave off a blue are. The Blade of Dragon the treasure of his clan. It was able to wipe out a city with one swing. The treasure only the leader of the clan held has fallen into such hands. The Dragon Warrior raged boiled inside as he thought of his friends sword being dirty by such a women. The lips of The Dragons warrior face curved into a smile as he looked upon the Tens of thousand figures rush towards him. He had waited for this exact moment. He Channel the Life Qi into treasure as if gave off a faint glow in the palm of his hands. "I offer you my soul, grant my wish and destroy my enemies, Soul End!" He spat out those words in a cold roar, filling the pearl in his hand exploded in color. In less than a second the faint light had touched upon all those who stood before him. Watching all this Sui Longs face went pale as she tried to retreat. However, it was this moment that the terrible energies of the pearl were relieved. The Warriors body burst into a white light and was sucked into the pearl leaving nothing behind. The a blinding like was cast out sending a wave on destruction to whatever it touched. The Realm shock as the area that once stood thousands of Godlike beings now a giant whole open. Not one of the escaped the calamity hey had brought upon themselves. The fabric of space had been ripped apart from the realm leaving only void in its place. The only thing that remained was the faint glow of the pearl as it slowly entered the void. As the light of the pearl faded the rip in space closed and the only remnants that remained of the clash was a giant whole in the ground. Chapter 1: Ling Li Feng Author''s Note: So this chapter had to be edited to fit the other chapters in the future of the non existed plot. On a side note this is my first book writing in a world filled with martial stuff so bare with me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 Ling Li Feng The sun shine brightly in the clear blue sky. At the most secluded courtyard in the corner of the grand mansion, the body of Ling Li Ming who had died laid on a then futon. Suddenly he opened his eyes as they gave off a sharp aura like a hawk. The weak tearful eyes of a powerless little boy were replaced by ones filled with killing intent, and coldness as dark as a winter night. Ling quietly observed the interior of the old and worn room. The structure looked damaged and decayed. Here was only a small table and his futon which he was laying on was thin and worn badly. If a stranger came and looked at this place it would look as though it was the home of a poverty stricken person not that of one of nobility. Looking down at his body with no expression showed. Pale skinny and very weak were the only things that came to mind when thinking of himself. Ling Li Ming was third child born into the Qiang Clan. His mother was one to the top martial practitioner in the capital and gain the name Crimson flame for her skills and talent. She had gain the position as one of the royal protectors because of her skills. The royal protectors are in charge of protecting the royal family, enforcing the law and politics with the other clans or sect and are said to be this countries backbone. He lack talent in martial arts and was deemed useless at birth by his clan. He wasn''t even given the clans name Qiang but the name Ming by his mother after birth. As a ancient clan they are able to see there clans men innate talent at birth and his was deemed only a level one and therefor a waste. There were at least ten levels of talent, so his talent wasn''t that different from a average person who wasn''t trained. Ling had a innate talent of 2 which if he wanted to peruse the martial path was a fantasy. Ling laminated on his poor talent and fate in the family. In a noble family that placed high value on such talent and skills this could only mean death or a life of hardships. His looks were just as bad as his low talent and weak body. With long black hair covering his scared face and skinny body. It a person looked at is naked body most people who be horrified by how is skinny body covered with scar like a war veteran. His mother was frequently away from home and neglected him letting his sister treat him as they wished. This cruelty didn''t stop when she was at home but they would hurt him less. In this world the weak are but playthings for the strong and as such he had no way to rebel. Ever day he would avoid his cruel sister''s who liked to whip him for even looking their way and try not to die. Nobody cared whether he lived or died even the slaves chose to be indifferent towards him. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. As a matter of fact according to his body''s memories his second sister favorite dish got burnt leading to his untimely death. The chief blamed the servant girl who was no more than 8, a year younger than Ling. He had seen the chief with one of the older maids out back forgetting about the food and knew he was laying. Tears ran down the young girls face as she denied it but he was the chief cook and she was a small new maid. Compared to there history and who to trust it was obvious she would believe the chief. Second sister flew into a rage wanting to whip her 10 times, which was excessive to say the least. Ling remembered her, just started working three months ago in the manner. When she saw him she would smile and even share her snacks sometimes. This was the only kindness this boy every new and knew that she wouldn''t survive the whipping of a grade warrior like his ruthless second sister. Ling rushed out and defended her which brought his second sister into a even worse mood. After a few moment her anger face turn as she told him that if he didn''t want to the servant to be punished he must take it himself and did so without hesitation. This irritated her even more and the amount of 10 were moved to 25 lashes with and excuse of disciplining him as well. Ling knew himself but resolved to take it even if he had to dye to protect the one person who showed him kindness. Ling''s 9 year old body didn''t grow well as his food was reduced every year by his dreadful family. The lashed had seriously injured him but were done in a manner that would not kill him. He guess they wanted to cover there tracks with some excuse but it did matter as he. He was carried back to his room by the little made but lost consciousness along the way. He could feel the life draining fast but he felt no sorrow or fear only like a weight has been released from his heart. As the last of his energy faded and his soul vanished into the void he promised himself that in his next life he will not be weak but gain strength and to bend to anyone else. A burst of golden energy came from his heart as he died breathing life back into him, along with a flood of memories. Closing his eyes he did not try to fight and accepted everything. A battle field with endless blood flashed along with faces smiling as a man screamed in fury and pain. Images of people flashed in his face then of there blood, dismembered figures laying on the ground. With every picture that pass more sorrow filled the man until there was no pain no anger only a blooded sword as he swung cutting down the laughing figures on by one. Everything turned dark again and then three things entered his head, Earthen Body Cultivation, Five Heart Essence, Dragon Soul Cultivation. After the flash of information entered his head a flash of pain awoke him from his trance. The fragments of the man filled with sorrow were now his. He was Ling Ming but not at the same time. He chose to accept this as a rebirth and decided he would live the way he wanted to. Chapter 2: Reborn Author''s note: So I''ve decided to make this book a slow burner when it comes to plot and stuff so more power slower pace. On another note this world is something new so creating as I go, so if you have any suggestion comment below. Chapter 2: Lin After returning from the well and sitting at the small worn table he organized his thoughts. He knew that he needed to leave in the future or risk death by his cruel family. Now that he had a way to get strong even if the family begged him he wouldn''t return though he knew that this was a fare dream at the moment. He exhaled deeply and closed his eyes trying to find the feeling of the pearl he had felt before. His mind wondered inward toward his sea of conciseness. In the darkness a small pale light started getting closer he was lunged from his calm state and opened his eye, deeply heaving. As he tried to understand what happen a thought popped into his mind that he need to be higher level to interact with the pearl. After a long while he calmed himself down taking a long sip from the bucket of water emptying it clean. He felt refreshed although hungry but that was something he was used to and decided to ignore it and focus on the three Cultivation method Earthen Body Cultivation, Five Heart Essence, and Dragon Soul Cultivation in his head. Once again closing his eye, Ling tried to gather the information on each one. Five Heart Essence was a godly way to gather and temper the qi in the body. Unlike other methods that would just try to sense it and gather it into on dantian. This method tried to gather the pure essence of the qi making a five pointed start in your daitain, and at each point it would hold a pure essence of Earth, Wind, Fire, Water , and Pure Qi. Ling felt a great since determination to master all of them. This method would break the mold but the requirements to practice it was also server. Unlike other methods the Five pointed star was about balance. To train in order to advance one must be able to have all five elemental qi toward the breaking point and then push on through. It was so hard that if your start to practicing it the only way to advance in one element was to restarted sacrificing all the effort it took. What astonished Ling was that his was just the entry level of the skill. Even though he wanted to practice it he couldn''t because it required, at least the user to have entered Qi Gathering stage. After feeling a little disappointed he steeled his heart and swift through the next method, Earthen Body. This method was a body cultivation art and was quite rare in the Yulia. Most of the art were those of the sword for martial arts. The Earthen Body was just the entry level skill and could evolve according to the user understanding of it. The method would gather qi layering it on the skill making it as strong as a mountain but as soft as silk. This art was perfect for his weak body but it to required that he be at Qi Gathering stage as well. Ling was not to disappointed as he readied himself earlier and looked at the last one called Dragon Soul. Training the Soul and mind falls into the field of medical art and is little help to martial practitioners of weapons or body. The soul and mind are the hardest to train that''s why there are so few magus in the world. There power for formation technicians are abominable and they can manipulate the essence of a element which give them power near or far. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. The Dragon Soul is a meditation method that not only tempers the mind to channel energies better but also trains the soul. Soul training arts are but a legend but Ling could feel the instruction in his head as clear as day. What left him speechless what that unlike the other he was able to practice this as it only required the user to practice the breathing method at sunrise. Ling open his eyes after a long time looking out toward the sun. It looked like a long day lied ahead but he felt weak, as the once dampers pain came back. Looking at his body the once broken leg when he was dragged her had healed mostly and he thought it would take a month for it to fully heal. Lost in thought, he turned he head as a young girl entered along with a tray of food with sadness in her eye. ¡°Lin Mei, why are you here.¡± She looked at Ling in shocked then slowly filled with water as she came to the table and sat down the tray. ¡°Young master your awake!¡± She rushed and hugged him letting take in fresh clean sent. Ling was stunned by this as he had never done this with anyone before. ¡°Um, um Lin¡± he stammered as the young girl gently let go tears pouring down her face as a big smile plaster on it. Ling reached out his bone hand and patted her hand smiling at her.After while she had dried her tears and now had bowed. ¡°Master Ling, you had saved me I could never repay you.¡± ¡°Lin Mei its ok you have helped me in the past sharing you food with me. I knew you did nothing wrong it would have been cruel to repay your kindness with silence in your time of need.¡± ¡°M-master!¡± ¡°Get up, and tell me how long was I asleep and what has happened since then.¡± Ling listen closely, trying to understand what happened while he was unconscious. It had been a three week since then and the family manner had not changed. Because of his serious injure his elder sister sent Lin Mei to looking after him and even made her is personal maid. This surprised him because he knew that his standing in the family did not allow him to have such. She had told him that his elder sister had gotten engaged and the whole clan is in a joyful mood, he was even given twice the food. He usually got one bowl of rice and some small meat for a meal once a day. A lot of thing happen and it took him awhile to understand this drastic change in the clan. As he wondered, a growl came from his stomach making the room fall into silence. ¡°Sorry Ma-¡± ¡°I wish you''ll just call me Ling like usual Lin¡± ¡°Oh, ok Ling... I brought you some soup but since your awake you can feed yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you Lin is there anything else you need?¡± ¡°No, no Ling I''ll go get you some water¡± ¡°Thank you¡± She grabbed the bucket to filled it up as Ling devour the food on the table. He decided that he couldn''t do anything except train and would plan to leave and join a sect when he grew stronger. Chapter 3: Goals & Training Author''s Corner: Soooo I''ve been having one heck of a time with this chapter and just decided to let it goooo... Well I''ve been deciding on which style he would fight in and came up with reason for the family being ducks there''s that. Chapter 3: Goals & Training The youths of the Qiang family would start training their Qi when they were six. To increase there chance to be selected by one of the five Martial Art Schools in Yulia and become a outer disciple. In noble families it was common to reach layer 9 by the age of nine which would make them more than qualified to join most martial schools. The Qiang family has many martial art, but some such as Ling could not acess anything. To save face the family gave him a martial skill to practice called Water Style a base martial art that is of the lowest rank. A useless skill for a useless person is the what Ling could only describe as nothing less than humiliation. This was made worse as the younger generation had used the excuse of pratice to bully and hurt him. For a weak skeleton looking boy back thing is wasn''t anything short as a living hell. That was the ling before but after his transformation many things have changed and this was just the beginning. ... As Ling tattered body glistened in the setting sun he continued his routine training of the Water Style. It had been three weeks since the fragment of the other Ling fused with his memories giving him the chance to become a martial arts, but he knew he was well behind other. Armed with the lower class martial skill and a unshakable will he continued to practice the moves over until his body was powerless. Your talent and level will determined what school or sect that your able to join. There are some exceptions but not many for the most part. Ling knew even if he broke into the Qi first layer his road would be a hard one. "In one year I must gather as much strength as possible and join a school or sect." Ling clenched his weary body and began to meditate. What Ling needed was power to break free from the shackles of this tragic life. The simplest way was to join a sec the train. The only problem with going off and joining a random sect was that he was from the Qiang clan and he knew if he didn''t improve there option of him he would in danger. Even if he was a direct descended of the head and his mother was a powerful figure this power wasn''t his. This world respected power and he had none at the moment. By partaking in the tournament and getting in the top 10 the clan would reconsider his position entirely. It wasn''t uncommon for some of there clan members to train in other sect because they were usually about the pursuit of power not like clans which was about family. This was the only safe way to break his ties with the clan and Ling knew if he didn''t become stronger soon he will die under these heartless beast of a family. Ling sighed heavily releasing his meditation, he gather his thoughts and proceeded to train again. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. ... Over the past weeks he had started some excessive workout routine to build his body and to achieve a balance. His skeletal figure had been slowly transforming into a health young boy. A strong body and soul are need to cultivated and Ling needed to build up his body. For this he decided to gather Qi according to the Five Essence method. This cultivated Qi of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and pure Qi. Ling would gather Qi then filter it for the Purest qi before letting it gather in his dantain. This was a very slow method and would build a solid foundation and make breakthroughs easier. The other benefit to this was the unfiltered qi would nurture his body. With the memories from the other Ling he could break into the Qi gathering realm at any moment if he chose to gather qi unfiltered but he want to test out if he would grow strong if he started this method as a base. After hours of meditation Ling got up from withered tree and headed inside for a meal and rest. Walking in he would see Lin waiting with a table of small food. ¡°Hmmm, that much more than they usually give me.¡± As he glanced over to the food. ¡°Umm yea the chief was ordered to keep the increase of food your given even.¡± She glanced at the bowl of rice and soup with a bit of sadness. ¡°What wrong Lin?¡± ¡°No, its just even maids such as I when be go to eat get at least twice as much as this. To know master has live with only half I find it quit cruel.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Lin really your are one weird girl, but I guess you''ll have to be to want to be my maid.¡± Ling could hear the bitterness in his own voice as he said it. Lin didn''t say any, instead she got up and hug Ling tightly catching him completely off guard. ¡°Ling I know you''ve been training like crazy and believe in you.¡± The smell of flowers entered his nose as her soft body wrapped around his. The his heart speed up and his vision became blur. Ling had cried himself to sleep many nights when he was younger and thought his tears had all dried up. ¡°Yea, thanks.¡± the crack in his voice was there but Lin said nothing of it. After a short while they both sat down and eat in comfortable silence. Chapter 4: Breaking Through Author''s Corner: So I took a time to try to write a couple chapters ahead and well... I was hit with the equivalent of the blue screen of death aka writers block. So I just went back to one chapter at a time and will see how it goes from there. Chapter 4: Breaking Through In the early morning as the sun crested over the hills bring light to the land a boy sat in a lotus style as still as the frozen pond. Ling opened his eyes and with a burst of energy flipped back like in a smooth motion. ¡°Alright, now I''ve finally broken through into the gathering realm. I can train in my other skills.¡± Ling could train in the Five Heart Essence gathering the pure elemental power of Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and True Qi to bind them. Each Essence required him to gather to the bottleneck of each before breaking through. The would hinder his level but he would have at least five times as much Qi then other of his level. In a since he could be at Qi gathering first stage and defeat a Qi gathering fifth stage. Thinking about it Ling how his training Ling decided a order in which he would train his Five Heart Essence. True Qi, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire would be the starting order he decided after struggling with the pros and cons. After that he decided to train the Dragon Soul to strengthen his soul and temper his mind. Ling conformed his training plans then went in to eat breakfast to regain his strength before practicing. Lin was sitting at the small worn out table setting down the last dish of rice for there breakfast. She wore a thick kimono to protected her from cold winds. The kimono was all white complementing her hair which she wore in bun showing off her health pale skin. Lin had taken to her duties over the past month with great care. Even though he woke up early everyday Lin had gotten used to her master schedule and had breakfast ready for him when he arrived. This past few week have been the most conformable since she arrived in the mansion. She had made rice soup cooked with chicken. She had used the left over steam rice and let it simmered in the dashi soup. After glancing at Ling she could feel a shift in the aura around home. ¡°Ling have you broken through?¡± ¡°Yes, I just did.¡± His words were clear and held a tone of great joy. She could not stop her beating heart after hearing this. Master Ling had not gotten any help with his training and was considered trash by his family. For him to breakthrough without the help of pill or herb without a master would be a miracle. Stolen story; please report. Her voice was filled with joy as he eyes began to moisten. Seeing her like this Ling face became somewhat red as he cough and sat down in he usual spot. ¡°Congrats Ling I sure your standing in the house will rise now.¡± ¡°Yes Lin I finally can be see the starting line of martial artiest with this but...¡± He trailed off before he finished gripping his hand tightly. Lin could understand how he felt because of how long they spent together. Even if he broke through, he is at the starting point that many others in the clan his age had already overcome. Still she did not let it damper the mood and fixed him a bowl gesturing him to eat. Ling calmed himself and gave a genital smile before they at there meal. Things had been quit every since the incident and nobody had bother them. Ling felt that this period of time was the calm before the storm and new he couldn''t waste a minute. ... Qiang Clan A well aged man sat at his desk drinking a cup of tea looking out of the window at his estate. He wore a long blue robe that didn''t hide the well built muscle underneath it. His graying black hair and cold green eyes gave him a aure of mountain. ¡°How is the boy?¡± the man gently sat down his cup of tea as from the shadows a figured appeared. ¡°He is well and has awoken. We have done as you instructed and increased his food and given him a maid.¡± The figure spoke keeping his head down behind the elders back. The elderly man nodded at the cloaked figures answers. ¡°Good. Family shouldn''t treat each other as such, even if he is talent less I wouldn''t have out Qiang clans name tarnished by such a relentless girl.¡± The elder anger boiled spilling out a little qi making the cloaked figure choke up blood. ¡°Send a messaged to there mother given the detail of her daughters punishment. I will also like you to inform the other two clan about the preparation of the tournament.¡± ¡°Yes sir.¡± As he finished the elder sat down and once again began sipping tea as the cloaked figure faded into the shadows. ¡°hump, kill the golden goose before it lead it eggs how wasteful would that be. Hehe, once the treated is signed we won''t need him anymore but before than no one shall lay a hand on him.¡± Chapter 5: Water Style Author''s Corner: ....Ok I caught a bad case of writers block and haven''t been as active in this story but worry not because here is your fix as promised. In truth after rereading I find myself wanting to change more and more of it so I''ve made it a goal of mine to reach 10 chapters. Afterward I will heavenly edit everything I written hopefully making it a better story afterwards. So if you would comment below it would help, though probably much later. Chapter 5: Water Style Ling days of harsh training continued for week after his breakthrough. Thought the Water Style was a low tier martial skill with only low benefits it still help him train. He had trained it to the beginner stage third layer without the used of Qi which kept him at the stage of the skill. Thanks to his breakthrough into the Qi gathering stage he has broken through to the intermediate stage first layer. Skill have a level of mastery just like Qi levels. Skill mastery stages can be summarized into beginner, intermediate, mastery, and perfect. Each skill stage has three layers to breakthrough and with each breakthrough it becomes harder and harder. Most talented martial arts can master low tier skill but its almost impossible for higher ones to be master by normal means. Skill tiers can be divided into low, median, high, master, and legendary. The Yulia content greatest level skill is high. The past Ling couldn''t have dreamed of him breaking through and obtaining the rank of martial practitioner but thanks to the soul fusion a number of surprising things have happened. For one his Qi manipulation and control had improved by leaps and bounds. In his first three days of gathering True Qi he had reached the limit for breaking through the first layer. Ling had long since thought it would take longer since it took so long just ot breakthrough but that wasn''t the case. He followed up by gathering Water Qi Essence which took only two days to reach the bottleneck. Ling knew that he need something more than the Water Style to win a the tournament. Movement and Weapon techniques would be needed if he was to truly compete against the others. His family had a martial library were only those who are able to enter the martial path may enter. Since he just broke through he hadn''t gone but knew he needed to gain more techniques and learn more. With that in mind he dusted himself off before heading toward the clan martial library. After telling Lin, he left out of his court yard for the first time since waking up. Ling memories of standing outside looked at wishing to be able to enter was now about to come true and he couldn''t help but feel a little happy that one of his small dream came true/ As he approached one of his second sister followers Jie Qiang had spotted him and stepped in his way. Jie was a lowly slave''s child but he showed potential and was taken in by the second miss. Though he was 11 and only at the Qi gathering fifth stage he was still promising for a slave. He had a big figure of muscle and fat looking twice his age. Ling had tasted his famed Bone Breaker Fist without Qi infused in it but it still left a vivid memory in his mind. and was well know to use Bone Breaker Fist. ¡°Well look who crawled out from under his rock.¡± ¡°...¡± Ling looked at him and continued walking ignoring him. In the past he would cowherd in fear of the this muscle bound brain but now that he had broken through and begun to practice he thought nothing of him. Jie face grew red as he clinched his fist at the blatant disrespect that he was given. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. ¡°Look like this wimp has found some balls. Hehe I''ll have to teach you how to respect his elders if place of second miss!¡± Jie thrust his fist at the Ling face with now restraint. The difference between a Qi gather stage and none was still strong so even if he didn''t use Qi it would have damaged Ling. Ling looked with contempt at the upcoming fist and started to relaxed his body. The water fighting style is mostly fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment. The core concept of the style is letting your defense become your offense, turning your opponents own forces against them. Ling had practice this Water Style since he was young but never could fully utilize it because he wasn''t able to break through then. Ling waited until the punch was a three inches away from his face, then tilted his head to slightly making the fist mist. He did not stop there, like a continues flowing river he moved his body to the side of Jie''s body and attack this rib cage with his palm making hims tilt to side throwing off his punch and redirection it to the ground. Jie shot up in anger his eye red with fury at Ling. Jie unleashed his Qi and pounced thrusting his fist at Ling faced using Bone Breaker Fist, a low tear technique that is a grade above water style. Ling face grew darker feeling the sudden rush of Qi from his opponent. Water Style was strong defenses but not many took mind to it since the family like aggressive martial arts. Even the Elder who gave him the tech probably thought it was useless and only served to shut him up. Ling chuckled at Jie grew closer and started to circulate the water qi in his body. Unlike True Qi Ling had discovered early on that if he used essence in technician then it would change the property. Ling and trusting his palm at the fist letting the core style take over. Has the the pale collided absorbing the force behind the attack twisting his pale and body throwing of Jia center of gravity. Ling then advanced stepping into the Jie broken center of with the momentum gathered from his own attack. Grabbing tightly to his arm kicking his leg then, he bent his body sending the Jia head first into the ground with a loud bang. Ling did stop there as the Jie hit the ground he twist he body in a 360 turn and hit him the chest sending him flying to the large oak tree. The impacted scattered the leaves and the Jai had his face pale as blood dripped from his mouth. The fight was over in lest then a minute as Ling looked at the fallen boy, with a since of accomplishment. The guards just started at the two in utter shock at how the useless master had defeated someone. What astonished him more was that he could feel that not only did he breakthrough into the gather stage but that he defeated someone at least two stages above him. Before he could even say a word Ling turned and entered the library without another world. What body saw was when he hit him in the chest he aim for his dantain and injected his Qi completely breaking it so that Jie could never practice again. Ling would show no mercy to anyone who wished to kill him.
