《The Conquering Couple》 Prologue – How Far Ive Come In a late spring midnight, the old tyrant sat on top of a mountain of corpses. With a full bright moon high above his head, his metallic ashen hair was flickering in the nights wind like a beacon. His face tranquil but missing it''s usual confidence. His face contained the wrinkles that come with old age but still showed vigour not expected of someone his age. Even in his old age, he was strikingly handsome. His body was motionless, as if it was part of nature. His eyes lifeless but contained understanding as they pierced the heavens. This gave the man an aura of timelessness that was coming to an end. The corpses under the mans legs all fresh, bloodied, missing limbs, heads, and some so disfigured that they could only be a mix of human meat, blood, entrails and body parts. The scarlet blood running off the bodies was enough to fill a lake. The smell of blood was so copious that any predator knew to stay away, for the only fate that awaits them of their curiosity is death. The corpses underneath him were composed of men, women, and some who could barely be called such. Yet the man continued to leer the heavens, as if everything around him didn''t matter. ¡°The heavens are truly unfair. Damn the heavens!¡± Said the old man as his eyes started misting. ¡°I had love, family, and my happiness taken away from me. But I had my intelligence and compassion! I had spent my entire life helping my fellow people! I have spent 200 years improving countless techniques, and giving them away for free! I killed many clans which exploited fellow humans, and abused their power for greed! I opened many minds with the manuals I have written. I had even used the last of my life to destroy the parasitic Mu Clan. I know humanity will prosper, and they may even overtake the King Demonic Beasts that have been ruling over the planet. But my fellow people will never reach what I am currently seeing.¡± The intelligent, loving tyrant continued to observe the heavens, where he saw countless beings! Some with bodies bigger than worlds, yet some minuscule in comparison, but all with Cultivations beyond his comprehension! They could only be described as Gods. He saw worlds, stretched across the night sky, knowing that they were orders of magnitude larger than anything he has ever seen before! He saw that in certain parts of the sky, there was no killing. The majestic beings would fight, with God-like techniques and martial arts, but would wager items before they did so. Other parts of the night sky however, were a blood bath! He saw heavenly weapons and armour, that made his look like paper and wood. He saw Pills, elixirs and food, some which made him feel like he had been eating dirt his entire life. He saw levels of alchemy he never thought possible, with flames he thought could almost burn him across the vast distance! He accepted the information of what he saw, most of which, he could not yet understand, yet knew that this shook his soul, and challenged everything he ever thought possible. Yet he continued watching, taking in everything that he possibly could, absorbing it onto his soul. His face no longer tranquil, but going through many emotions. Being amazed at the glamour of some of the worlds and entities, and feeling utterly terrified and excited seeing the battles and destruction being caused at an unimaginable magnitude by the cultivators, feeling giddy like a child watching new techniques and martial arts being used by beings of unimaginable power. He was utterly in awe, seeing the different Laws of the world and how they operated at different scales. He was thankful, proud yet depressed that his breakthrough in ¡°Information Gatherer¡± was what allowed him to experience all that he had not known in his final moments and not a flashback of his memories, what people usually experience at the times of their death, because he knew his memories could not amount to a single iota to what he was experiencing.

So the old man continued to watch the heavens, for what seemed like an eternity, but watched for only 30 minutes, before he was at the threshold of his death. The old man knew this, so he did what he has always done, and that was to challenge himself and the see the limit of his power. He gazed at the farthest point he could see, a patch of blurry space that seemed to hold no regards to the Laws of the world and perceived to be separate from the heavens. He somehow comprehended that there was more to this patch of blurry space than what he saw. So he focused, with all of his mind and energy, to perceived what was inside this space. And that was when he sensed something in his mind break. This not only gave him a new level of focus, but took all of his energy, that was used to sustain his body and last specs of his life, into his last wish and goal, to sense what was on the the other side of this space. It was at that moment, using everything he had, he broke through and saw what was on the other side of blurry space. What meet him was an image of a young women, but he was not sure. It was as if the heavens would not let him directly see her with his eyes. But he could tell that she was a celestial beauty, and that she had her eyes closed. So he started to look at her again, starting from her feet, making his way up her legs, onto her stomach, and finally to her face. That''s when the girl opened her eyes, and beam directly at him. That was when he finally saw something he could see clearly, her eyes. A shiver went through him. Her bright, celestial pearls contained infinite beauty, love, intelligence and loneliness. He wanted to look away, because he didn''t feel like he deserved to gaze on such a being. But he couldn''t, he was drawn in to her eyes. Questions came into his mind. How does a being with infinite intelligence view the universe? With her infinite beauty and love, how could she possibly be lonely? Why was she alone in this blurry space? Even though he was about to die, he was infinitely content that he saw her miraculous eyes in his final moments. In his mind, seeing her eyes was worth more than seeing the heavens. If he had a choice, he could stare at them for all eternity, and wished to do so. Her eyes locked onto his, across the vast distance, seemly shocked that someone was looking at her. Not because she was naked, no, because she didn''t think it was possible. It was at this moment however, the old mans world lost all colour, and he released his final breath. His last thought was that of regret of not being able with stare at those eyes for an eternity, and not being able to join those Gods, reaching for the peak of cultivation. If someone were to describe how he looked at the moment however, they would say that on top of a mountain of corpses, an old man sat with his body full of holes, bleeding all over, but his bright eyes open, with a face that looked like a child who just fell in love for the first time.

It was the only place where she could dream of being somewhere else, somewhere other than this timeless prison. In her dreams, she could dream of a loving family, one that didn''t throw her away after using her for what they wanted. In her dreams, she could live life, fight enemies, make high grade elixirs, and explore the infinite universe. In her dreams, she could even find love. It would start off with friendship, building into love that would last an eternity. In her dreams, she could escape her everlasting loneliness. She was placed in the jail by her family. Her family wanted power, more than anything else, and she gave it to them. She looked at the world through a scientific eye, something no one else did. With her mind and intelligence, she improved her families vast arsenal of techniques. She found ways to better the great dao of alchemy, which improved elixirs and pills, and created tiers of medicine never seen before. She even found ways to improve food harvests and produce better qi grains, improving everyone''s lives. She even invented ways to create stronger metals for armour and weapons. She gave her family profound arrays and formations that saved their lives many times. She continued to improve everything she could, all throughout her life. She was driven with the thirst of knowledge. All this was for her family and it was expected of her. All she wanted in return was love, praise, and a feeling of being part of her family. But it was not to be. Her family didn''t have the capacity to love, not a single person. Maybe it was a flaw is how they were raised, their environment which demanded power, or a genetic condition. But she was still praised by her parents and they were still family, so she continued to do all she could to give them what they want. That was until one day she decided her family had enough power, because they could not find any other beings stronger than them. They conquered the planet, explored the heavens and still could not find beings stronger than them. So she told her family she wanted to leave and find someone who she could love, and that person who would love her back, because it was something she wanted to experience, something she needed. She did not know why she wanted to experience love, because no one else in her family wanted to experience it, only her. She thought she might have been her with the genetic mutation. She could control her body well enough to stop emotions, but the feeling of wanting love always came back to her, and each time, it came back many times stronger. It was as if no net or wall could capture or stop this feeling and it was building within her, until she finally told her family of these feelings and what she wanted to do. Her family did not agree. They told her that if she left, others would capture her and use her to make themselves stronger. Others would trick her and achieve their own goals. The Fang family told her that she should keep busy, doing what she does, discovering new information and improving everything. They said that the feelings of love would pass in time. If she wanted children, she could have them within the family. So one day, she decided she wanted to escape. She was the strongest member of her clan, because while she improved the families cultivation techniques, she had made stronger ones for herself. She could fight her way out if she wanted. But she did not want to hurt her family. She wanted to find love but still come back to her family. She did not want one without the other. If she hurt her family, she would be chased to the ends of the universe. It would not be pleasant being under some of the techniques and poisons she had produced throughout her life. But she wasn''t afraid of that. She just didn''t want to hurt the family she loved because she didn''t have the heart to hurt her family. But she would question herself. Where would she find love. Her family controlled the planet. They would not let others look at her, much less let her roam and find love. She was watched and monitored, throughout her day, even when she Cultivated. The vast and endless universe gave her hope and hopelessness at the same time. It was because she knew there was someone who could love her out there, but she would have to find them, away from her family, and did not know where they were and when she would find that someone. But wanting love drove her crazy. So she tried, without hurting her family, to escape. She was unsuccessful. They were ready for her and surrounded her, making use of their bodies because they knew that she would not hurt them. So they captured her and put her in a jail created for someone like her, something which she had helped them create. It was called The Space/Time Prison, and it was for someone who could not be killed, or hurt, either because they were family, or because the entity was too strong. She filled both positions. Here, she would be trapped forever, without a means of an escape. The space was created, right at an event horizon of a massive, dormant black hole. The created space no longer followed the laws of physics, and she could only get out with outside interference. She was frozen in space, without a means to move or use her cultivation, with nothing to see, while time was still moving. There was no qi in this space, so she could not cultivate, or any other energy she could make use of. It was a lifeless, barren prison. At first, she thought her family would forgive her, and she would be let out, because they still needed her. But after a few thousand years, Jasmine gave up that hope. She went through sadness, that her family had abandoned her, and in this jail, she could never experience the different parts of life. Then she went through anger, that they would treat her like this, because she had spent her entire life living it for them, and asked very little in return. For the first time in her very long life, she wanted to slaughter her family. They were parasites for making use of her. Bugs, vile vermin that didn''t deserve the gift of life. She regret not looking at them with another perspective, one where she didn''t have to hesitate to hurt them, one where she would place herself before them. Then her thoughts went to madness, because the feelings of wanting love would return, and she could not do anything to fulfill the need. She would miss experiencing life with her senses. She was not able to touch other people and different textures. She couldn''t listen to the sound of people laughing. She couldn''t look at the many colours of the world. She missed the delicious tasting food. The lack of these experiences was utterly soul depriving. She could only look with her eyes in this prison, look around at nothing, because she was lucky to be frozen in space with her eyes open. Then finally, she would go through depression. The futility of being able to do nothing, not even cry at her misfortune for all time, was utterly soul shattering. But the thought would not shatter her soul, no matter how much she wished it would. Then the cycle of sadness, anger, madness, and depression would repeat. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. To get herself out of his cyclical cycle, she would go deep in her mind, to look at her memories, each and every one of them, starting from her oldest, and analyze them. She did this because she loved discovering new information about the universe, improving and learning everything she could. It brought her a type of happiness that she believed was closest to love. There were many mysteries contained in the universe, and she wanted to discover them all. She had already discovered information and secrets that she would keep in her soul, telling no one else. So she spent her time improving her cultivating techniques and creating new ones, furthering the dao of alchemy, hypothesizing a plethora of theories about the universe, and learning all she could from her memories and imagination. The only other option she had was force herself to sleep, to dream. So she spent her days dreaming, a place where her family loved her, where she found true love, where she experienced the different parts of life, and where she was less lonely. That was until one day, she felt something she hadn''t felt in many, many years, someone staring at her. At first she thought it was her imagination, but the feeling continued. Than she got began to get excited, to feel happy, for the first time in eons! She immediately came out of her mind and looked at the being staring at her, for this being could possibly be her saviour or just a family member to talk to! But what she saw shocked her. He was an old man, with ripped cloths, ones that didn''t look like they were made of something strong. He had cuts, holes and blood all over his body! She could not see anything else, only him, and his eyes. His bright eyes were of one that made her soul shake. She knew, at that very moment, for the first time in her very long life, she was looking into bright, clear eyes of someone who was in love, someone who was in love with her. It felt like I was connected to him, and him to me, through each others soul. This connection was very faint, and I knew through this connection, it was because this man was about to die and because he was a vast distance away from me. My happiness immediately came crashing down on me and I would have cried if I was able to. The first person I had seen in countless years, one that could show what it looks like to be loved, is about to die. But I did not give up hope, and used my mind and intelligence to think of all possibilities available to me. To get out of prison and return the love I was seeing in his bright eyes, I must not give up hope! So my mind came up with a plan. It was something I had to do to get out, but I knew there was a slim chance of this working. I had to sacrifice my body and cultivation to use the connection of souls as a gateway to get out. It was very likely I would die and this would not work but it was better than being in frozen limbo and death was better option anyways. I also knew this person was at the threshold of death, so I made my decision. I used all my cultivation to make this connection of souls stronger, and force each others soul to come together at the time of his death, because I did not want him to experience the pain I am about to. ¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHH¡± This caused the worst pain I''ve ever felt in my life. The feeling of your soul being ripped apart from your mind and body is not something that can described, but I knew that if I survived, I would never forget this gut wrenching, indescribable pain. It was as if each and every molecule in my body was being ripped apart at the same time. Hopefully time, which I had a lot of, and love, which I could finally get, could make me get over it. This also gravely injured my soul in the process, but soon the process was finished, my soul was separated from my mind and I was about to travel through the link to meet my saviour. Than everything went dark. My last thought was that ''luck, please be on my side, so I finally live my dream, to find a less lonely and more loving place in this universe.'' Soon the two souls were on a collision course with each other and were going to meet half way. Even with the vast distance between each other, the souls met after a short amount of time. The old mans soul was better off than Jasmines because he did not have to experience the pain caused by the forced separation of soul and mind. Because the moment of separation had been his death, there was no pain. When the two souls met, you could see the difference. The old mans was more substantial and radiant, while Jasmines soul was damaged, dim and meager. What the old man did not know what that his unique technique ''Information Gatherer'', was cultivating his soul throughout the entire process of his heaven gazing experience. Perhaps it was that the old mans soul was still changing and getting stronger, even after death, or perhaps the connection between them was so strong, that at the moment of impact, Jasmines soul went into the old mans, but they did not destroy each other. What happened was that the old mans soul accepted Jasmines, and her soul was placed in the center of his. The connection between the two souls had become even stronger. It was as if he would protect her and nurture her with his own soul. It was as if he was giving his love to her and she accepted and cherished it. Soon, the old mans soul became a protective barrier around hers, and it was providing nurture and care for her injured soul. This caused mutual changes in their souls, because it was an event that had never happened before. The two souls were now connected, changing and becoming stronger than any other in the universe, wandering the endless and vast universe together. Authors Note: Even though I called our main character ''old man'' and our female lead Jasmine, she is much older than him. This is my second novel. My first one is An A.I Is Such A Cheat In The Martial World and I will be writing both simultaneously. Enjoy!

Chapter 1 – A New Life Short Lived When I gained consciousness, I felt a warm puddle around my body, seeping into my cloths. I felt weak. Even in my delirious state, I remembered. I had died, and I was going to die. As Yun Ning, I had died under the countless stars looking at a celestial beauty. As Aaron Fang, I would die because I was betrayed. Aaron Fang was 14 years old. He had long, lustrous black hair and piercing obsidian black eyes, much like his previous life as Yun Ning. He was currently in White Star Academy. A prominent Cultivation academy in Floating Cloud Continent. A girl that Aaron had a crush on had coaxed him into helping her on a mission. They had to into The Desolate Forest, kill a Xiantian Realm White Jade Antler Deer, and retrieve the jade antlers. The pair were successful in their kill and retrieve mission. Only after they killed the deer did the pair realize that it was protecting something. A 4th Grade Dan. Each Grade of Dan, represented a Realm. 1st Grade represented The Houtian Profound Realm. The 2nd Grade represented The Xiantian Profound Realm. The 3rd Grade represented Elementary Profound Realm. The 4th Grade, was The Nascent Profound Realm. Each Dan was separated into low, medium, and high quality. The Dan that the pair had found was a high quality 4th Grade Dan. A true treasure. Aaron Fang, and the girl, Su''er, were both in the Xiantian Profound Realm. A 4th Grade Dan was a priceless treasure to someone of their Cultivation. At first, the pair were bewildered. A 4th Grade Dan was suppose to be hundreds or thousands of kilometers deep into The Desolate Forest and it should have been guarded by Nascent Realm Desolate Beasts. When the pair came out of their stupor, and realized that they had been granted heavens fortune, they celebrated their luck by having sex. Aaron had felt like he was truly favoured by the heavens. Not only did he find a 4th Grade White Berry, but he was also having sex with his crush. Who knew, at the moment of Aarons climax, a dagger would pierce his heart, instantly killing him. Death as a result of climax. Aaron didn''t even have time to wallow in self-pity before he died. Aaron was an 8th Realm Xiantian Cultivator. Su''er was a 5th Realm Xiantian Cultivator. The plan was that they would turn in the 4th Grade White Berry, in-turn receiving more contribution points than they both had accumulated in the past two years in the academy. If Aaron wanted to keep the Dan for himself, he had the power to do so. But he was more than happy with sharing the reward between the two. He liked Su''er, and by sharing the reward, he would be in her good grace. Su''er unfortunately, had other thoughts. Stolen novel; please report. She knew that Aaron was stronger than her by 3 Stages. There was no chance to forcefully take the Dan. He was one of the stars of the 2nd year students. Not many were equal to him, and it was one of the reasons why she had manipulated him into helping her. She knew that he had liked her. She had even liked him. He was handsome, intelligent, loving, and had a great future. But a high quality 4th Grade Dan was just too tempting. If she were to turn it in, it would set her up for the rest of her school life, and it would put her advantage beyond any 2nd year student. Competition was fierce between students in the academy. If she does well in her time at the academy, she does well for the rest of her life. So Su''er made a plan. She understood the core weaknesses of men. More importantly, she knew a weakness of Aaron. That he liked her. She knew, that no matter Aarons Cultivation, that he was powerless at the moment of orgasm. Even though she had steeled her heart, and went into a mental state colder than 0 kelvin, she still shed a tear when she had killed Aaron. But such was the way of the world. The importance of Cultivation went beyond love and sex, and she had done exactly that. Su''er had put her Cultivation and self-interest first. Even though it had left a bad taste in her mouth, Su''er left with the deer antlers and the 4th Grade White Berry. She would report Aarons status as ''Killed in action''. It was not uncommon for a student to die during a mission. In her mind, Aaron was just one of them. So Yun Ning, now Aaron Fang, lay there in a puddle of his own blood. It was Aarons love and compassion that had attracted Yun Nings wandering soul. But this did not mean that Yun Ning was naive. He had killed many clans in his previous life and could read a person perfectly. If he thought that someone could become a problem for him, that person would be taken care of quickly and efficiently. His love and compassion was not blind, it was only given to those who deserved it. But he could not move, and could not think of any way to stop the bleeding in his heart. He did not feel sadness, pain, remorse, or even betrayal. That was only because there wasn''t enough blood in his brain to do so. So he closed his eyes and waited for his inevitable death. Only then, did he hear the most sweet, loving voice say in his mind ¡°We''ve only just met. It''s too early for us to depart.¡± Authors Note: Comment and Rate. Most chapters will be short and sweet. Enjoy. Chapter 2 – Transported Into Another World Yun Ning had been transported into Floating Cloud Continent. He was now in the body of Aaron Fang, who had been blessed with Cultivation talent. Aaron Fang had died when Su''er had stabbed him in the heart and Yun Nings soul had been placed in his dying body. Even though Aaron Fangs soul had departed from this world, Yun Ning had gotten Aaron Fangs memory. Never the less, Yun Ning was going to die by blood loss because he had lost too much blood. That much he had figured out. Because Yun Ning had died, and he had merged with Aaron Fang, he was now Aaron Fang. Hopefully, he''ll live. He couldn''t move, so he couldn''t call for help. He was in a critical state, and something needed to be done if he wanted to live. But after wracking his brain, there was nothing he could do so he gave up hope, and waited for his death. When he heard an angelic voice say, ¡°We''ve just met. It''s too early to depart.¡± He though that he was hallucinating. He thought it was his brains last motivational push to live. Than he heard the most melodic, heavenly giggling in his mind. The heavenly laugh was a mixture of wind chimes and a goddesses voice. He was convinced. If there was a goddess of voices, she would have the voice that he heard in this mind. Somehow, the face of the celestial beauty came in his mind. In his mind, she was the perfect beauty. It would only be fitting that she had the perfect, celestial voice. He smiled in his last moments. Two lives. Two deaths. Both ended with him thinking of the same person. Maybe in his next life, he could meet the celestial beauty. So he closed his eyes as the darkness overtook him. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Isn''t he romantic, Jasmine thought to herself as happiness and love overtook her. Tears gathered in her eyes and she had the most loving smile on her face. She had already fallen for him. She was watching him with amusement. Did he forget that he was a cultivator? From her perspective, he really was in no danger. Even though he was stabbed in the heart, he still had his Cultivation. He was in the Xiantian Profound Realm, and had access to his Dantian, which contained qi. She had just started her new journey, and escaped from her endless loneliness. That journey wouldn''t end here. When her saviour lost his consciousness, she gathered some qi from his Dantian, stitched the cut in his heart, and used the rest of the gathered qi to help his body recover naturally. Jasmine was quick and efficient. The stitches made from qi stopped the bleeding. Under her control, the qi will slowly dissipate while the heart heals. The rest of the gathered qi was used to assist the body in producing more blood, which was currently in short supply. It really was that simple for her. Even if the injury was more severe, it wouldn''t have been a problem for her. Saving her saviors life. It was the least she could do for him. Because Jasmine could read his mind, she knew that they were in The Desolate Forest. The smell of blood should attract Desolate Beasts. For now, they were safe because they had spread monster repellent powder. But it doesn''t work on stronger beasts. So Jasmine thought it was best if they leave this this dangerous place. They needed to take revenge on a certain treacherous girl. Chapter 3 – The Desolate Forest The Desolate Forest was a place of death. It was truly survival of the fittest. It was evolution taken to the extreme. Monsters here had evolved to take in a heavenly energy called qi. They are called Desolate Beasts. Each entity, be it plant, human, animal or monster, takes qi from the atmosphere and uses it differently. Living, instinctual, intelligent creatures were given a ready made power source. No matter where, if an intelligent species is given a power source, it will thrive. The entire planet had that power source. Imagine the chaos. This made the competition fierce within the entire planet. Every entity was under the stimulant of qi. But the species which went the farthest were intelligent species. This included humans. Humans were unique. They were intelligent but stupid. Loving, compassionate, selfless while hateful, vengeful, and destructive. They were protective of family, property and themselves. They were social, out going people. Yet, at the same time, they were solitary beings. They enjoyed peacefulness and exciting adventures. They were on extreme ends of every scale. Humans were truly unique. The Desolate Forest contained beasts from the Houtian Profound Realm to the Nascent Profound Realm. The weaker the creature or beast, the further it was from the forests center. Yun Ning, now Aaron Fang, was in the area where Xiantian Profound Realm harboured. When Aaron Fang awoke from what he thought was his death, he was extremely surprised. His body didn''t feel weak and he was no longer bleeding. His heart was actually healed! He estimated that he hadn''t slept for more than 4 hours! What a drastic turn. From deaths door to alive and healthy! He knew that someone had healed him. Even though he had looked around, he couldn''t find the person who had saved him. He wanted to thank the person for their act of kindness. Reluctantly, he made his way back to White Star Academy. With blood covering his entire body, Aaron Fang truly looked like a bloody demon. But in his mind, he was thinking about one person. Su''er. She had attempted to kill him. He would have his revenge. But how far would he go? Poison? Torture? Rape? Yun Ning, in his previous life, was a Master Alchemist and had a Nascent Profound Realm Cultivation at the moment of his death. It was easy for him to kill Su''er. He had many options. Did he want to kill her at her moment of climax like she had done to him? From Aaron Fangs memory, killing wasn''t allowed in the academy. But there was the Life and Death arena for when students had deputes that couldn''t be settled by talking. Not to mention, the academy would punish Su''er for attempting to take his life. She had taken the 4th Grade White Berry and must have reported Aaron as ''killed in action''. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. When Aaron shows up alive and well, the punishment for Su''er should be expulsion from the academy. The hefty reward she should have gotten from the 4th Grade White Berry would be transferred to him. But he didn''t think that the punishment was harsh enough. With the Cultivation Su''er had, she would be accepted at another academy. She would still receive humiliation from others because she had been expelled from the prominent White Star academy. So he formulated a plan while he made his way back. The blood covering his body had attracted the attention of the Xiantian Realm beasts surrounding him. If it was the previous Aaron Fang, he might have had some trouble with them. He might have even lost his life. For the current him, they didn''t even slow him down. They were just more academy contribution points in his eyes. So he killed and collected Xiantian Realm beasts while he made his way back. This new world was more advanced than Yun Nings previous world. In his previous world, storage devices were rare and expensive. In this world, they were common place. They were connected with blood and qi so they could only be used by one person. Because he had technically died at the hands of Su''er, she had access to his storage bag and she had taken his valuables. His main weapon, money, artifacts, and talismans were all taken. But she still had left him his backup sword. It was made from fine tempered steel and It was more than enough to deal with the surrounding beasts. Each slice was a kill. Each stab was directed at the brain, heart or spinal cord. All fatal moves. Each step was made with no wasted movement. His qi consumption was almost nonexistent. He had a lifetime of combat and life/death situations. Mere Xiantian Realm beasts weren''t a match for him. Not to mention, Aaron Fang had the Cultivation of the 8th Xiantian Profound Realm. Beasts of Xiantian Profound Realm acted on instinct and small amounts of intelligence. Against a truly intelligent creature like a human, they should be simple prey. But each year, dozens of students of White Star Academy are killed by Xiantian Realm beasts. By the time Aaron Fang was in the vicinity of White Star academy, he had killed over 40 Xiantian Realm beasts. With his excellent vision, Aaron Fang could tell there was quite a bit of commotion at the academy. He smiled. Looks like news of the 4th Grade White Berry had spread. Aaron was certain that instructors were busy little bees doing all they could to get their hands on the rare treasure. Aaron Fang could almost imagine the horror in Su''ers face when he returns. A devilish smiled appeared on his face. It was time to ruin a girls life. He couldn''t wait. Authors Note: Rate, Comment and follow.
