《To Conquer, To Rule, To Change The Heavens!》 Ice King The Begining (gonna proof read tomorrow bey bey) :D First chapter- Ice King In the dark of the night, there was deep rumbling thunder rolling across the land, lightning cracked, scaring every creature alive to the bone. The metallic aroma of blood filled the air, taunting the people and animals of the land. As usual, the morning was devastatingly cold in the north of the continent. Blizzards and snow flurries were common in the desolate north, as numerous as the clouds in the sky. At this early time, one should be sitting by a fire, feeling the differences in temperature. Appearing out of nowhere, a man could be seen, standing on the mountain. He had long hair that blended into the night, vivid green eyes along with a wiry body, bushy brows, and a small nose. He seemed not quite outfitted for the extreme conditions, wearing only a pair of ratty and torn brown pants. To an onlooker, he appeared weak, but if one ventured closer, he would observe thin and taunt muscles. The man looked starved half to death. This was a place at the edge of Snow White Continent, Murumink Empire, it was place forgotten by people and usually only retired strong soldier lived here wanting to escape from people. The young man was standing as if he was part of a mountain calm and unmoving, his eyes closed and he breathed extremely faintly. One could feel a chilling aura coming from him, without trace of fear or waver. One could imagine how cold it was if one would be instantly frozen into a cube of ice if exposed to such weather. "I was blessed by heavens with this special power, but heavens cursed me with poverty and merciless life. It is time for me to raise and break from this curse." This young man¡¯s name was Yin Yun, he was born different from others. His family thought he was a demon after he got five years old out of hate their parents left him in the slums of a considerably big village, and left. Yin lived the life of poverty and hate, he wasn¡¯t able to go to school as he had no money, he learned from life that strong eats while weak starves. Yin''s body was born incredibly cold so much that one wasn''t able to hold him. In actuality it was caused by his incredibly amount of Yin energy in his body, but he lived in far the most forgotten place of the continent with barely two thousand people in the village. During his years Yin learned to control his Yin energy which exists in his body. Yin opened his eyes and started descending the mountain he, crossed the forest and entered the village. Just that his village couldn''t be said to be a village anymore, as hundreds of corpses chopped in half and frozen were covering the village. Yin calmly walked through the corpses and entered a house, he was calm because he was the one who killed all of them after all. In the house Yin took a leather backpack, started putting food and some clothes in it, soon enough he took all the gold and valuables from everyone¡¯s houses and left as if he was never meant to be there in the first place. In Snow White Continent, at the edge of Murumink¡¯s Empire there was a road covered in snow. On the road a carriage with six horses were going at steady pace. "Hick are you sure there are no bandits on these roads? After all this is the edge of Muruminks Empire..." A young lady of around 23 years old with blond hair said. One could see that she''s from noble family as she was full of accessories and extravagant clothes. "Don''t worry, don''t worry Joselline. How can there be bandits here when there isn''t even a single person coming here because of the extreme cold. There would be no profit for them to be here." Hick said with calm smile on his face, but also full of arrogance and haughtiness. Suddenly horses stopped walking and stared at a shadow that appeared on the road out of nowhere. This was none other but Yin carrying big wood cutting axe on his back. Yin started nearing the carriage, and next moment carriage wheels froze not able to move. A man suddenly jumped out of the carriage wielding a sword, "What do you want? Get out of the way or I¡¯ll slaughter you!" The man said as he swung his sword in air showing chopping motion. Yin didn''t say a single word and took his huge axe from his back, wielding it with only one hand. The man with the sword sneered and started walking towards Yale, he was full of haughtiness. "People like you don''t deserve to live." Yin said as he looked at the man with the sword, at this moment the man started moving extremely slowly. He opened his mouth wanting to scream, but he couldn''t as the next moment the man was already dead. Yin chopped with his axe and the man split in half, his internal organs falling on the ground, painting the snow red. One could see terrifying agony on the man''s face. When Hick and Joselline saw this, Hick snared and started running, ¡°Motherfucking, useless, cheap soldier!" Not even trying to take Joselline with him he ran like a wind soon disappearing in the forest. Joselline seeing this got angry, but didn''t have other choice but to run as well, but next moment man screaming sound came from the forest and she didn''t dare to go in. She turned around and shouting, agony, anger and arrogance could be seen in her face, "Don''t kill me! I have a lot of gold if you save me I¡¯ll give you some! Please don''t kill me." When Yin heard the young woman still being arrogant and haughty even in such situation he laughed inside and started walking towards her putting his axe on his back. Joselline thought that he agreed and started walking towards him, ¡°I¡¯ll give you one hundred gold how about that? It should be enough for someone like you.¡± Yin stopped and when Joselline came next to him, he grabbed her neck with one hand and crushed her neck not waiting for anything. At the beginning he thought of sparing her miserable life, but she looked down on him. Yin took all her Jewels and put into his backpack then started running towards the place where Hick ran. As he ran towards Hick he could see a snow tiger devouring Hicks flesh. Yin moved, cold started radiating from his body, axe in his hands he chopped towards the snow tiger. Unexpectedly the tiger managed to dodge, but next moment the tiger stopped moving and dropped dead. The tiger has been made into an icicle, as frost covered the tigers body. Yin searched around Hick where he found a pouch of gold, and a bracelet with one small diamond on it, Yin smiled slightly, he was quite happy with his findings. Yin went back to search the carriage thoroughly, finding many expensive things, it seems that they were moving into the empire¡¯s capital city. Yin took everything he could find valuable and headed out once again. Moving towards the Capital as well. ¡­.. Ten days later inside the Murimink Empire¡¯s Capital a young man entered covered by a robe. He carried huge backpack which was almost two times his size. But to the people of the town it was already normal, to see such things. ¡®I finally arrived at the Capital it¡¯s time to join the army.¡¯ Yin said as he headed towards dark areas of the town. Going deep into the dark area a man suddenly approached wearing a robe, one couldn¡¯t see his face. But neither could the man see Yin¡¯s. ¡°If you are looking to sell your goods come with me.¡± A middle aged man¡¯s voice came from the robed man. Next moment they entered a hidden wall. Inside the house behind the hidden wall, there were many robed men and women, all had come either to sell something or to buy. Inside a row of people were waiting in order to enter big room, as soon as one exited the room another person would enter. Soon Yin¡¯s time to go came, entering the room Yin could see the room packed with jewelry and weapons from all sides. In front there was a man sitting, hidden behind hood in front of him was a desk. ¡°I came to sell jewellery I would also like to buy something.¡± Yin spoke and took off his back, opening it and then dropping all the jewellery on the ground, and then the man came closer and started counting. After good ten minutes the man stood up and spoke, ¡°These will be ten thousands eight hundred gold coins in total, please pick what you want to buy, it will be counted from the ten thousand eight hundred gold coins.¡± The man sat on his chair again. Yin had already decided what to buy, he went next a shelve there were earrings, they giving off cold radiance Yin took them, and then looked at the ring next to the earrings, took it as well, then he moved next to coldness giving radiance blue metal chain necklace. He took these items and nine other rings and two more earrings, then he looked at the two handed sword which was giving cold chills barely looking at it one could feel cold radiance on. Not thinking about it much Yin took the heavy sword. ¡°In total hundred and fifty thousand gold please pay, eleven thousand will be reduced for jewellery¡± The man said as he looked at Yin. Yin gave a cold laugh and instantly the man froze in his place. Yale put on all the rings, necklace and earrings he could feel his power boosted by two fold and with the two handed sword in total was two and a half fold. Suddenly door behind him opened and the man froze in place, Yin started walking towards the door, and people who were there all instantly froze and dropped on the ground. The hidden door opened as the same man led another man in, he saw all the bodies on the ground laying not breathing both of them wanted to run, but were instantly frozen in place. Yale left the place walking out to the main street again, taking off his robe the heavy sword on his back covered in leather holder, he was walking towards two soldiers. ¡°I want to join the army¡± Yin said as he neared the two soldiers, ¡°Follow me, first you will be tested and then you will be placed accordingly.¡± The man said as he led Yale into a camp which was full of soldiers. Soon they neared the training grounds and stopped at an empty area, ¡°If you are able to beat me you can join for missions and after gaining some merits join the front forces of the army, if you are equal to me you will have to join seventy first battalion for training. If you lose you will proceed with training in this base.¡± The soldier said, and handed Yin wooden two handed sword as he saw that Yin was using one. He knew that anyone using heavy sword cannot be called normal and would have great physical strength, but when he saw Yin slim body he was quite surprised. Yin took the wooden heavy sword as he took a fighting stance just like the soldier did. The soldier not waiting for anything he charged at Yin in full speed. Yin still calmly standing as he thought, ¡°From today onwards I must build up my reputation, kill the ignorant, and become the strongest. I must cleanse this world from trash, I was given power and I must use it correctly. Losing is not an option.¡± Yin was still standing, the soldier neared Yin as he chopped towards Yin''s head. Yin closed his eyes pushing out the heavy sword. Moments before soldier¡¯s sword touched Yin''s heavy sword, Yin instantly pushed his heavy sword forward meeting the soldier¡¯s sword, the sheer force and momentum of the heavy sword reflected the wooden sword and send it flying from the soldier''s arm. The soldier looked at Yin shocked, he took off his helmet. One could see that he was about twenty two or so years old with black short hair and blue eyes, ¡°You really beat me¡­ I didn¡¯t expect you to be so strong. My name is Hinky, can I ask your name?¡± Yin saw sincerity and amazement in Hinky¡¯s eyes, he could see that he was a good person, ¡°My name is Yin, nice too meet you.¡± Yin shook hands with Hinky faint smile curved on Yin''s face, he was that type of person who doesn¡¯t do much talking, and respects people who respect him. Yin doesn¡¯t believe in nobility or ranks and think that everyone should have equal grounds, the exception is when someone is stronger than him, only then he will obviously acknowledge them as his superior. ¡°Yin it¡¯s nice to meet you too, let¡¯s go meet Captain Zhale where he will set up a place for you to stay and take soldier equipment.¡± Yin nodded, and followed Hinky, soon enough they closed in on a huge tent with two soldiers safe guarding at the entrance. ¡°Brother Hinky you found new recruit again huh, don¡¯t tell me he beat you too?¡± One of the soldiers laughed saying jokingly. ¡°Actually he did, he is stronger than expected so don¡¯t look down on him, even brother Cestis might not be able to beat him.¡± Hinky said confidently as he looked at the soldier who spoke. ¡°Beat me? We will have to see what this kids strength is later.¡± Cestis said confidently, wanting to test Yin¡¯s strength. Yin and Hinky then entered, not saying anything no more. Inside the tent there were many soldiers of all sorts of ranks could be seen, talking and strategizing pointing at the map. Yin and Hinky neared one of the groups at the left side of the tent, one of the Captain rank soldier saw Hinky and confronted him, ¡°Hinky new recruit yet again it¡¯s already third today this is something new¡­ How is his strength eh?¡± Captain Zhale looked at Yin curiously, he looked at Yin from his feet to head, he saw that Yin was carrying heavy sword which made him quite surprised. Yin as calm as always, standing there looking at the map interestingly then looking at the Captain Zhale and smiled slightly, ¡°Nice to meet you Captain Zhale please call me Yin, I came with the wish of joining army.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you too Yin, actually I have a small question. Why do you wish to join the army?¡± Captain Zhale calmly spoke. ¡°I think that the world is ruined, I wish to reach the pinnacle of power and change this world.¡± Yin spoke without a hint of emotion, as if hiding something. Captain Zhale hearing this was extremely surprised, although he didn¡¯t have such passion, but he for sure can somewhat relate to Yin, ¡°Good, from now on you are assigned for escort missions, If you do well on this I¡¯ll think of promoting you. Also first you will do one week short introduction on army. Your tent will be in the fourth zone twenty first tent, go and get your equipment with Hinky we will inform you when there is mission.¡± ¡°Yes Captain Zhale.¡± Yin said as he looked at Hinky who was staring at him in astonishment, he saluted Captain Zhale and walked off with Yin, ¡°You know you keep amazing me, I never seen Captain treat newbie like you so good, seems he has high expectations of you¡­ Also can I ask how old are you?¡± ¡°I am 17, and you?¡± Yin answered while smiling. Hearing Yin, Hinky tripped and fell on the ground, standing up he spoke, ¡°Brother, how are you so strong at such young age?!?!¡± Hinky was shocked to the bone. Yin didn¡¯t answer and continued walking, not answering Hinky. ¡®He is really mysterious¡­¡¯ Hinky thought. Soon they entered a big cavern and inside was full of army boxes, with weapons and clothes and other supplies. ¡°Brother Yin do you need a weapon?¡± Hinky asked curiously as he can see that Yin already has a great sword, but not necessary as good quality as the army one. ¡°I already have weapon.¡± Yin said calmly looking around. ¡°Alright then I¡¯ll just give you some army clothes it is made from leather, it¡¯s defence is not quite up to standard, but with higher rank you will get better ones, and also with you get army armor, which is plain metal, New recruits usually are not strong enough to wear them, because it¡¯s quite heavy, so it¡¯s up to you.¡± Hinky said as he handed army clothes, which was brown, with few pockets on the chest and pants, with few inner pockets, forearms metal protection and calf and thigh protections, also a light helmet. After Yin tried it on he felt that it¡¯s pretty good, and so he decided to wear them straight away. Then Hinky took out the heavy armor, when Yin saw how heavy it is he immediately thought that is waste of time to wear them, it was full body plain metal armor, which looked extremely uncomfortable. Yin thought for a while and realised that it would be very good for training as it is quite heavy, so he took it with him. Nothing else to do there they left. Soon they entered Yin''s tent which was quite comfortable and not too small, with bed and a table in it next to the tent was a campfire. ¡°Alright someone should come tomorrow to do introduction, you can enter and exit the base whenever you want though, but if you are out for too long without reporting, there might consequences.¡± Yin nodded not saying any more as he looked around and put his backpack on the table and heavy armor on the ground taking the gold headed out to the main street, too look for something to eat. ¡®Why is the capital so low on the restaurants?¡¯ Yin thought and then entered the noble area which was more towards the centre of the Capital. As soon as he entered noble area he could immediately see an extravagant restaurant, with many nobles inside. He entered the restaurant and sat down at the corner of the restaurant, waiting for attendant. ¡°Look at that soldier he thinks he has enough money to eat here ahahha what a joke, he should get out of here he smells like shit.¡± ¡°Who does he think he is coming to noble restaurant like some rich kid he is obviously a soldier, all soldiers are filthy.¡± ¡°I think I am going to Vomit.¡± Nobles in the restaurant started talking in disgust, not accepting soldiers coming here. They were nobles after all, Supreme to those shitty commoners. Hearing this Yin was full of anger inside but not a single emotion came on his face, when suddenly one of the nobles who talked bad about him fell on the ground. He didn¡¯t scream or say anything, his body was covered in frost. Suddenly woman who was sitting next to him started screaming, ¡°Cheng are you okay? What¡¯s wrong with you someone call doctor!¡± She shouted, everyone was shocked not understanding what happened. Yin laughed inside, ¡®Peace of shits like you don¡¯t deserve to live.¡¯ The Cheng¡¯s skin started cracking and poor Cheng fell apart, the woman scream as tears fell from her. ¡°It¡¯s magic!!!!! Someone who can use ice magic is here!¡± one of the nobles shouted, as he was shocked, because there is only three people in their continent who can use magic or so he thought. Yin chuckled for a moment as he thought, ¡®Yes it¡¯s ice magic, but it also has Yin energy within, I was born able to use ice magic, but also incredible Yin energy although I don¡¯t know what exactly this Yin energy is but it lets be control it with incredible accuracy and speed. I don¡¯t even need to say incantation or use anything in order to use it, and those rings earing and necklace that I found increases my control over it by whole 100% percent, which reduces the amount of Yin energy used to control the ice and it takes effect even faster.¡¯ Everyone was shocked, as they were looking at each other, but most of them knew each other, there were only few mysterious figures in the restaurant. Absolutely no one thought that it¡¯s that it¡¯s the soldier, because a magician has authority which is at the level of emperor. Only one in ten thousands has affinity with element and most are usual so low potential that they don¡¯t realise that until they are old and dies. Only about one in two million has big enough affinity with element to realise that they have in their whole life, as there is no clear way to know when one has affinity to any element. Because of this they have no way to train in it, and so only those with extremely terrifying affinity with some kind of element realise that they have affinity with it young enough to train in it. Yin could actually feel his affinity ice element since he was extremely little and started to somewhat train in it since he was five years old controlling snow and water. He didn¡¯t know why he could do that and so he kept silent about it, only about half a month ago he got some information about it, and also half a month ago he was able to finally instantly freeze most things. Usually one needs incantation to do such thing but he didn¡¯t know why but he didn¡¯t need any kind incantation. Yins only weakness is that he wasn¡¯t able to increase the amount of Yin energy in his body, nor he didn¡¯t know how to increase the amount of magic power he could have, as one needs it in order to control the element. Yin knew that those magicians have some kind of method to gather it, but it was top secret, after all there would probably be many people who could use magic somewhat if all of them tried to gather magic and realise that they can control some kind of element. Because Yin has no way to know how to gather the magic power or Yin energy, he only has enough Yin energy to freeze about fifty people every day. Nobles didn¡¯t know who was the one who done it, but all they could do is stay silent about it or they might die magicians are emperor rank entity they can do nothing about it. Commotion didn¡¯t die but instead increase of course they were suspecting some figures in the restaurant. Soon attendant came next to Yin, ¡°Sir have you decided what to order?¡± Attendant was extremely pretty, blond hair and blue eyes, with petite body she gave of elegant atmosphere and no supremacy or ignorance, actually very gentle feeling; she was no older then Yin. Yin looked at the attendant, he thought that she was extremely pretty, and couldn¡¯t help but blush a bit. Seeing Yin attendant blushed as well as she thought, ¡°What is his skin made of? It looks so smooth and shiny completely white as snow and he is quite handsome too, but those eyebrows are quite funny.¡± Attendant next to them seeing this awkwardness between the two suddenly came and slightly pushed the other attendant side and said, ¡°Sir have you decided what you want?¡± she said and pushed the other attendant aside to go to next table quickly. Yin quickly got over it and suddenly said, ¡°Can ask what the other attendants name is?¡± He asked silently, the attendant chuckled as she answered, ¡°If you want to know that you must ask her yourself.¡± She said teasingly. Yin cursed inside and then said, ¡°Then please gives me ten most expensive dishes and most expensive wine then thank you.¡± Yin put on huge smile as he always wanted to say this, he was quite happy being absolutely ridiculously rich by only killing few people. Attendant almost lost her cool as her jaw dropped, ¡°Sir if you don¡¯t have enough money to pay for it after you will be executed after, please think over this, after all everything would cost two hundred gold do you really have so much money?¡± One gold was hundred silver and one silver was hundred copper, a simple soldier usually gets only up to two gold per year, captain five gold, even the main person behind the whole army gets about one thousand gold per year. And yet this person has only simple new recruit wardrobe¡­ ¡°Miss don¡¯t worry about it and get me the food please.¡± Yin smiled slightly. Yin was staring at the blond, petite attendant and the attendant would give him short look and then turn her head immediately, ¡®She really is really cute¡­¡¯ Yale thought as he couldn¡¯t get his eyes of her¡­ ¡®She is like warm summer that I have never felt, like fresh apple which I only ate once, like sun in the sky which only show¡¯s too make my mood, like warm breezing wind.¡¯ The attendants all are dressed in maid like wardrobe, but includes red stripes as well which represents the restaurant. When Yin¡¯s food was delivered everyone was absolutely shocked, everything on his plate was absolutely the freshest products, which needs to be delivered from the other side of continent where it grows. One could imagine how hard that is to do, and how fast one needs to deliver it. Even the attendants were drooling when they saw the food, but they would never in their life would be able to eat it with their wage. ¡°Is he son of some aristocrat family? But why is he dressed like new recruit?¡± All the nobles were questioning themselves. Yin even got fresh fruit, such as bananas apples and grapes, when the blond attendant was shocked by this young man, and really wanted to taste them, but that¡¯s not something she will ever afford. Actually the whole empire was on shortage of food, because they are currently in war with surrounding empires, and so they can hardly get any resources. The reason why all the empires are fighting over this empire is because this empire resides at the upmost corner of the continent, and at the corner of continent there is incredibly high mountain that reaches the heavens. The legends say that if one is able to handle the extreme cold and obstacles reaching the top, there will be heavenly treasures there. But Yin has no wish in treasures, what he wants is power and so he didn¡¯t try to go on and climb the mountain. At this time Yin saw one of the nobles grab the blond attends butt cheek, instantly the noble froze in place and fell on the ground his body covered in frost. ¡®No one can touch her!!!¡¯ Yin shouted inside, and continued eating. Second commotion appeared in the Snow Queens Restaurant! Instantly the noble was carried away by few guards of the restaurant, everyone looked at the attendant somewhat suspecting her, but they knew that a mage wouldn¡¯t lower herself to being a maid with barely any pay. The attendants would even sometimes be led out by filthy nobles who wanted to have fun with them, and they couldn¡¯t refuse, some attendants would even be happy as the nobles would sometimes give them money. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.The blond attendant didn¡¯t know what to with scared face, but she knew that noble was frozen by the mage because he touched her, she thought that the mage might even have taken fancied her; but then the thought suddenly disappeared as she never thought of herself so highly. After long time. The sky has already become dark and stars could be seen, Yin saw that the blond girl has finished her job and so he packed the food which he didn¡¯t as it was practically impossible to eat so much alone. After everything was packed in wooden small boxes with holes on the top and few from the sides everything was put into an extravagant leather bag. Actually the only reason why this empire is still is alive is because unknown reason of extreme population of all kinds of animals who can survive the harsh weather, they actually exceed the human hundred to one. Which makes meat almost worthless, and everyone gets to eat meat on their table but instead very low amount of bread if any. For this reason the people is way stronger than any other empire around them and so they are able to handle fighting against four empires alone. There is also excessive amount of leather and fur so people able to survive the extreme cold weather, even the carriages are covered with leather, one can only imagine the excess. Yin headed out before the blond attendant and was standing next to the door outside with extreme colds at night is really hard to believe one wouldn¡¯t be cold outside with only simple leather armor. Although everyone thought that the young man has trained his body like other soldiers to resist cold for emergency situations and so they weren¡¯t that much surprised. It was extremely quiet night without any exaggeration, not often that happens, but during cold weather it¡¯s not unseen. One could smell food and wine coming from the restaurant and people quietly walking around, some commoners looking at the restaurant with jealousy in their eyes. Yin always thought that the weak should be looked after by the strong and the strong taken care of by the weak. If the weak is able to become strong then they should without any exception. But neither of them should look down on each other as they are both human, if one saw another in trouble they should help each other. At this moment Yin felt as his pants was slightly pulled, as he look what it was he saw a small kid covered by poor quality leather, he looked extremely frail and was covered by bruises and dirt. ¡°Mister, can I please have some food just a little bit, please I haven¡¯t ate in days, please mister¡­¡± Little kid said almost crying, the kid was actually a girl and about nine years old too, it was amazing that she survived. Instantly in Yin¡¯s memory flashed scene from his past. Inside a small town, noble region a very frail kid of about seven years old covered by leather was walking, he seemed as cold as the winter itself, but he wasn¡¯t shivering, but instead barely walking, he came next to noble restaurant. A noble exited the restaurant and the kid asked the noble for some food, but the noble didn¡¯t give the kid food and instead kicked him to almost dead. All the nobles that exited the restaurant would be disgusted and spit on the kid, who was laying there faintly breathing. The kid was full of anger and pain, but not a single bit of sadness, not a single tear came from his eyes, he would look at every single noble that would spit on him, and would remember him forever. What he was thinking is million ways of slaughtering them with as much pain as possible. A tear fell from Yin¡¯s one eye on the kid which froze in the air and fell in the kids hand the kid never seen such mysterious thing and she found it extremely beautiful. Yin then took his leather bag and handed one wooden box to the kid and a banana, ¡°Kid eat it here or someone might take it from you.¡± Yin said. How could the kid know that such food costs twenty gold, a commoner would live from twenty gold for his all life. The little girl started crying as she dropped on the ground holding the fool, ¡°Thank you mister, thank you, thank you, thank you, tha¡­.¡± She kept repeating while crying. Another tear fell from Yins eye, and he felt anger fill him up he said, ¡°Little girl, do you want to serve me?¡± ¡°*sob*sob* Yes, mister I¡¯ll do anything if you accept me¡­¡± The little girl said. Yin looked at the little girl deeply and said, ¡°Remember you will have to become strong if you want be serve me, you will have to work extremely hard, but you will also never have to be hungry. What¡¯s your name kid?¡± The little girl looked at Yin and stopped sobbing she stood up and said, ¡°Master my name is Yuki! Master I will definitely work hard! Master I will become strong girl!¡± Yin looked at Yuki and said, ¡°Yuki call me Yin never call me Master! I do not approve such titles, I believe that one day you can become like me! I am only taking you in as a favour and in the future when you are strong enough, you can return the favour!¡± ¡°I understand, Yin please look after me from now on!¡± Yuki said strongly. At this time the blond attendant was watching this through barely open restaurant door she couldn¡¯t help but start sobbing as well seeing this, she haven¡¯t seen such kindness in anyone before. Yin didn¡¯t wait anymore and led the little girl towards the tent when suddenly he stopped and looked at the restaurant seeing the blond attendant coming out wearing lots of leather and still shivering he laughed inside and took out apple throwing it to her he said, ¡°I want to see you again, will you be here tomorrow?¡± The attendant nodded not saying a word she was really flushed and words didn¡¯t come out of her mouth. Yin smiled and then led Yuki to the tent, she couldn¡¯t wait to eat it, she also didn¡¯t know where she was going, but anywhere is better than on the street. Soon they arrived and entered the tent, it was unexpectedly not that cold inside, one could see that the tents were made from good quality leather. ¡°Wha! I¡¯ll be living here from no on?¡± Yuki asked looking around curiously, her cheeks flushed and she put the food on the table, she was carrying the leather bag for Yin. ¡°We will be both living here from now on, don¡¯t worry you can sleep on the bad, for me is good on the ground as well, I am use to it anyway.¡± Yin said and put some leather on the ground starting to exercise. ¡°What! How can I sleep on the bed and Yin sleep on the ground?!? Can I really sleep on the bed?¡± Yuki said almost crying. ¡°Of course you can, now go eat I can see that you are hungry, remember in the future we will probably won¡¯t be eating such food much, it¡¯s really expensive after all, well with my current gold we could eat there for quite a while but I don¡¯t want to get excessive.¡± Yuki nodded and started eating enjoying every bite, while Yin put on the heavy armor and started exercising. At this time inside a small not out of ordinary house in the kitchen one could smell food, and feel warmth coming. There sat four people, one girl about twelve on young woman about seventeen or eighteen, one woman about forty or so and a man in his forties, all of them were looking at an apple on the table. ¡°Akemi is it really how you say it is? That noble should have definitely taken fancy to you and he also so kind.. just like a prince¡­¡± The middle aged woman said as she blushed then continued, ¡°Just like your father¡­But he has money¡­¡± The middle aged man got angry and said, ¡°Are you saying I didn¡¯t have money?! it¡¯s because you spend all of them¡­hmph¡­¡± The middle aged man said as he laughed. ¡°Who spends your money, it¡¯s because you didn¡¯t have any in the first place¡­¡± She said with anger then started laughing. The two younger girls started laughing as well, but then said, ¡°Let¡¯s share this apple I don¡¯t think that the kind noble would mind.¡± Actually she only started working at that restaurant only this week as she finished school much earlier than everyone else, she was extreme genius only seen in hundreds of years, but after all she has no money and so she has to start from the beginning. She only started working there because of decent enough money and when she gets enough she wants to open her own business hoping to become noble one day. But now she was taken fancy by a noble and so she was extremely happy that he might help her financially, but she didn¡¯t expect too much, she also doesn¡¯t like taking advantage of the people and so she would never take advantage of him. ¡°No, no, no he gave you the apple you eat it!¡± The middle aged man said as he knew one gets to eat such fruit not often. Akemi didn¡¯t mind his words and split the apple in four and gave each a piece, and ate it slowly, enjoying the taste. It¡¯s really best apple she ever ate¡­when she thought of Yin she blushed, she couldn¡¯t help but think of him. Early in the morning, Yin woke up then woke up Yuki and went for early running, but Yukis body was extremely weak, after all she starved for days. Soon they got back ate breakfast, and a middle aged man came to take him for talk about the army. He introduced all kinds of gears and how soldier supposed to treat others which Yin thought to be absolute bullshit. Soon enough the first day introduction ended which only lasted for about two hours and Yin headed out to the main street. As he was walking he could hear that between houses a woman screaming for help, Yin entered the dark are, he could quickly see two men raping a girl, but suddenly the two men fell down not moving anymore the woman sobbing, Yin said, ¡°Are you alright lady ?¡± he knew the lady is not alright, but he still asked. She saw Yin was a soldier and started running, only now did he realise that the two men were actually soldiers, he got angry he knew that soldiers can be violent, but this is crossing the line. Yin headed out once again with anger in his heart, but he also felt relieved that two piece of shits are out of this world. He was also quite surprised that today everyone is actually talking about an ice mage that killed two nobles yesterday and no one saw him or heard him. Literally everyone was talking about him and most commoners were even extremely happy that he killed nobles, as most commoners hate nobles. ¡°Hmph, good that those nobles were killed I heard one of them raped a girl before and nothing was done! And the other one would go and beat up commoners for no reason, really treashes¡­¡± An old looking man said as he was working with wood. ¡°They done some other crimes, but no one would any about it really how low can our empire go¡­¡± another middle aged man said. Hearing this Yin was quite concerned about the empire, he wanted to one day take over this empire and then keep conquering, but if the empire gets taken this would be more difficult. But since he didn¡¯t really have big attachment to this empire he could just become civilian of another empire he didn¡¯t see problem, only since they are in war in would be a bit more difficult. The reason for this is because the other empires would kill anyone that would try to cross the lines. Soon Yin arrived at the same restaurant again, and sat down at the same table at the corner he could see the blond attendant (Akemi) was putting food on the table for some nobles which was one of the cheapest foods in the restaurant. Akemi suddenly felt a bit of cold coming from her back and she turned around seeing Yin sitting at the same place as yesterday, she blushed and turned around her heart beating fast. Yale chuckled and send little wave which lifted her skirt, and her underwear could be seen, she quickly covered it with her skirt and turned her head saw Yin laughing, she immediately got red from embarrassment. She quickly left going to the kitchen. Yin chuckled at Akemis cuteness and attendant at this time came next to him, ¡°Sir have you decided what you want to order?¡± The attendant was looking at Yin curiously. ¡°How much does it cost to order an attendant?¡± Yin asked with smile on his face. The attendant laughed and said, ¡°Sir please wait¡± she said as she and went upstairs, but quickly came back and said, ¡°Sir actually our lord, will do you a favour today and you can take any attendant for free today.¡± Yin was quite surprised, but he understood it¡¯s because of his yesterday¡¯s order, ¡°Then can you ask the attendant that is hiding in the kitchen to go change and come sit next to me¡± Hearing this attendant was quite surprised, ¡®who is hiding in the kitchen?¡¯ she thought, but then realised that Akemi is not here, she chuckled and quickly went to the kitchen. The attendant went to the kitchen and saw Akemi hiding at the edge of the entrance of the kitchen. She chuckled, ¡°Akemi today is your lucky day eh you got fancied by a handsome noble who is dressed like soldier, he ordered you for today. He said for you to go change your clothes and come sit next to him.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Akemi cried out and blushed, her head went dizzy and didn¡¯t know what to do, ¡°Quickly go change your clothes and go to him! You might be lucky tonight¡± The attendant winked at her. ¡°Lucky tonight¡­tonight¡­tonight¡± These words sounded out in her mind and she slowly went to to change her clothes. The attendant laughed at this innocent kitten, who is about to be eaten by a violent tiger. After about half an hour waiting Akemi walked out wearing pink pretty dress and her long hair pinned into one braid, her face flushed looking at the ground she quickly walked and sat on the other side of the table. Yin started laughing, he is quite nervous actually, ¡°Did you like the apple?¡±, ¡®Ah is that what I was supposed to say?¡¯ Yin thought¡­ Akemi not looking at Yin said in silent tone, ¡°Ah¡­yes I shared it with my family, it was really delicious¡­Thank you¡­¡± ¡°No need to thank me, I saw that you wanted it so I gave it to you, what¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Yin said smiling. Akemi didn¡¯t say anything as she was only looking at the table playing with her hair. ¡°Have you eaten anything from the list on here?¡± Yin asked, and saw Akemi shook her head. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Yin asked then, Akemi nodded not saying anything. Yin raised his hands and attendant came next to him, ¡°Can I have two todays special, the best desert also two glasses of best wine.¡± Seeing Akemi the attendant got quite surprised, but then nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. Quickly the attendant put food on their table and two glasses of wine. Yin chuckled as he saw Akemi still looking at the table, ¡°You know this food is for you as well¡­So please eat.¡±, ¡®Aish¡­ really I don¡¯t know how to talk with girls¡­¡¯ Yin thought. Akemi looked at the food she knew this food is extremely expensive,¡± Thank you¡± she couldn¡¯t resist and started eating slowly. ¡°Aish why you thanking me! This is a date I say a date okay! A man should always pay for girl, and girl should always spend her money on whatever she wants!¡± Akemi looked at Yin, their eyes met and she started eating again. ¡°Too cute! Too cute!¡± Yin thought as he started eating as well. ¡°Well is it good?¡± Yin finished and asked, then took a spoon and took some desert which was ice cream. And then said, Said ¡°Quickly open your mouth its dropping!¡± Yin shouted and then Akemi looked at him said, ¡°Wha¡­¡± But then she saw spoon entering her mouth and she quickly closed her mouth she saw Yin holding spoon which was in her mouth she blushed and opened her mouth, Yin flipped the spoon and ice cream fell on her tongue. Akemi quickly looked at the table not looking at Yin again, her heart beating fast and the ice cream was extremely delicious she started eating the ice cream as she could feel warmth and cold mix together making perfect yin-yang. Right now she was experiencing bliss, and the world around her seemed to disappear. This was her first time experiencing this, but she knew it¡¯s because of Yin. That gentle and kind Look from Yins. The gentle words of Yins. And most importantly Yins kind and gentle actions. It all made inside her heart pound. This moment is when Yin knew that he wouldn¡¯t let the world ruin her never, ever till the end of world. Yin quickly gave money to attendant, and took Akemis hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­ trust me.¡± Akemi nodded and followed Yin holding his hand, their hands pounding, she couldn¡¯t understand but she wasn¡¯t even bit scarred actually she felt sense of security, like nothing in the world would ever be dangerous if she were to be with Yin. She saw that she was going to the door and realised she wasn¡¯t wearing any leather, ¡°Ah wait I need to get dressed¡­¡± She said. ¡°No need, trust me¡± Yin said with care in his voice. Akemi nodded, and when she went through the door, she could feel wind and when she thought she would feel cold, nothing else happened, it was actually perfect not cold and not hot! She was still holding Yins hand and her cheeks started burning, ¡°Ehh how is this possible why is It not cold?¡± Akemi asked. ¡°It¡¯s always like this for me.¡± Yin said as he looked at her deeply with smile on his face but it came from his heart, gentle and caring. He embraced her holding tightly and then jumped up landing on the edge of rood, jumping again and then landing on the upmost top. Of the restaurant from where one could see town fading in the distance, and sun barely holding at the edge, it fell soon fell down and northern light illuminated the sky. Akemi and Yin sat down on the corner enjoying the northern lights, it was extremely beautiful as stars behind the green, blue and violet northern lights lit the night, and it wasn¡¯t even bit cold for them. Actually they were both burning as they still held hands they didn¡¯t dare to look at each other. Even after the northern lights disappeared they still sat there for enough time to burn two incense sticks. Next to a small house two young people stopped walking and a young man spoke, ¡°Can I ask your name?¡± he spoke very gently while looking at the ground and then looked at the young woman. The young woman, looked at the young man she smiled and said, ¡°Then you will have to tell me yours¡­¡± ¡°Okay.¡± He answered calmly with small pause. ¡°My name is Akemi¡­¡± She said with smile, and looked at the ground, a bit embarrassed. ¡°Your name really suits you¡­It¡¯s just like you¡± Yin couldn¡¯t help but say with smile. Akemi blushed and then said, ¡°Now tell me your name¡­¡± ¡°My name is Yin.¡± He said with light laugh Akemi looked at Yin, ¡°Doesn¡¯t your name resemble you even more? And you say my name resembles me! Hmph, hmph!¡± She blushed again looking Yin, she realised that he really is the ice mage. Yin laughed not saying anything, Akemi suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ll be going home now¡­¡± and ran to her house quickly, glancing at Yin for a moment before closing the door. ¡°I¡¯ll see you tomorrow!¡± Yin quickly said and he headed back, he I still excited, he can¡¯t wait to meet her tomorrow, it¡¯s as if something changed inside him. When he got back to his tent he saw that Yuki was already sleeping, Yin took the heavy armor and headed out for training. At this time, in the slaughtered village an extremely tall and robust, masculine man with crazy hair, and brown eyes, he was wearing a shirt that only covered his chest barely with silk belt, and robust silk pants with tightening at the ankle. ¡°Someone who is capable of controlling water has appeared¡­He really went berserk here¡­It seems he is from somewhere around here too¡­¡± The man said to himself and then his eyes opened widely, ¡°That¡¯s right somewhere around here a child with very cold body was born, they called him demon¡­I heard about it few years ago, but thought that it¡¯s only villagers exaggeration¡­Don¡¯t tell me¡­¡± The man suddenly disappeared. In a secretive place a man was seated, he was seemingly thinking about something, suddenly the same man appeared next to him, ¡°I have something to talk about.¡± The man with crazy hair said. The seated man was seemingly about thirty, he was extremely muscular he was three heads shorter than the other man, his hair crazy like as well, and he wore same uniform, but much more slimmer than the other man. ¡°I have something to talk about too, you talk first.¡± The small guy said. ¡°A village have been slaughtered by someone who uses water magic, high possibility that one possess one of those bodies¡­¡± The big guy said calmly. Hearing this small guy was surprised but then laughed and said, ¡°There is someone capable of using water magic appeared at the capital, thief trading centre was cleaned by him and he killed two soldiers and two nobles, I just got back from there news goes around there fast. I wasn¡¯t able to find out who he is, seems no one heard incantations, highly possible it is the same person that you are talking about, also high chance that he possess, ice king body. This is good news if he is young, seems very capable too from your description, I highly doubt he has cultivated.¡± The other man nodded and said ,¡±I heard couple years ago that someone was born about seventeen years ago from now, he was called demon because of his cold body, highly possible it¡¯s the same person¡­ If he is only seventeen then you know what that means¡­¡± The small guy nodded and said, ¡°Yes truly, this is good news. It¡¯s been very long time since last one appeared, of water element¡­¡± The man smiled and then disappeared together with the other man. Soon morning came and Yin with Yuki were currently running around the base, ¡°Yin you came back really late yesterday, I even fell asleep waiting for you, and also it was very boring inside that tent being alone for so long! So I just kept exercising¡­¡± Yuki was quite sad left alone for so long, she also really want to go to school and learn all kinds of stuff like other kids¡­ ¡°We will go buy some books later, I want to buy some too, I never went to school before my knowledge is quite poor as well.¡± Yin said calmly as he kept running. Yuki was left without words, and was amazed by Yin. Lunch time. Inside capitals and whole Snow White empires largest library. ¡°Whoa! Yin look at all those books, I want all of them! Then I could sleep in between the books!¡± Yuki said laughing with joy. Yin chuckled, ¡°Where are you going to put all of them eh?¡± So many books he was amazed himself, he wanted to get some books on some general knowledge, legends about ice and mages. Yuki quickly found some books she wanted together with Yin they bought thirty books in total. They also went to buy some clothes for Yuki and both of them went to one of the hot springs to wash themselves and headed to Snow Queen restaurant, when they entered Yin and Akemi nodded to each other both of their hearts beating fast. They stayed at the restaurant till late reading the books Yin didn¡¯t find anything useful, which Yuki was full of excitement reading the books. Yin and Akemi would glance at each other from time to time. Yuki seeing this couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, she understood that Yin fancied that girl. Akemis working hours were over and so, Yin send Yuki back to the tent, while both of them went for a stroll around the town, ¡°So you actually want to open your business! Don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll help you.¡± Yin said and he took out a bag of gold from his backpack and handed it to Akemi, he said, ¡°What are you going to do thank me?¡± Yin sounded quite as he smirked, looking at Akemi attentively. It was already night and stars could be seen in the sky, it was quite cold, but for Akemi and Yin it was perfect weather, there were never many people at night because of the cold so they could take a quite comfortable straw. Akemis cheeks flushed and she said, ¡°I¡­I¡­I can¡­.I don¡¯t know¡± barely saying she quickly turned her head and didn¡¯t say anymore. Yin started laughing as she took her hand, ¡°This is enough for me¡± Akemi nodded slightly, she didn¡¯t mind Yin holding her hand, and actually she felt safe and comfortable. On one of house roofs two men in blue uniforms appeared one extremely tall with crazy hair and one shorter with crazy hair, ¡°That¡¯s definitely him I can sense qi radiating from him and he really is an ice king, wonderful, so young as well, now we just need to watch over him for some time, to see if he is worthy or not.¡± The other man nodded not saying anything. Chapter two: Warming feelings Day by day calmly passed, soon one week passed, but Yins and Akemis relationship barely advanced, And Yin still haven¡¯t got a mission. Today is extremely cold day, and almost no one could be seen walking. One could smell leather and snow, everywhere absolutely white, it was beautiful but deadly, snowflakes slowly falling. At this moment, deep into the night, a young man and woman could be seen walking, they gave off very pleasant and warm feeling seeing the two talking and laughing, one would just simply be happy seeing the two. The young woman was like a fresh summer breeze, she had blond hair that of caramel, one would want to eat it seeing it. She had delicate body, which looked perfect as if from painting, and her smile¡­her smile was that of a goddess giving approval on humanity, those small lips close together when she pouting can make one die from feeling of cuteness, and those big eyes that could make one faint when she gazes at you. Her name is simple yet beautiful, just like her Akemi. The young man next to her, felt as if one too snow, but yet the snow would melt touching him from his kindness, with tough yet frail frame he looked like prince who is about to come on white horse. He had black long hair which was put into ten or so small braids, reaching his waist, it seemed as if ten snakes that could bite when you come near. His incredible white skin that was in no way plain, but whiter like a snow, when sunshine falls on hi it would almost have a glow to it. Unexpectedly he had thick black eyebrows which looked as if two punches that would knock you out if you stare at it for too long. His big green eyes which looked as if tiger gazed at you when you look at him. His name is simple yet forever existing, since ancient times, but seemingly was made especially for him, Yin. Both of them were absolutely not perfect yet perfect together, holding hands as if one entity. ¡°Yin¡­Can you tell me about your past?¡± Akemi spoke as she gazed at Yin, with warming look. Yin didn¡¯t answer for some time, as if he was deeply in thought, or maybe thinking if he should answer or not, ¡°I was born in a simple commoner family, everyone thought I am demon when I was born out of hate for me my parents abandoned me in the slums. Back then I was only five years old, and how can a five year old survive, I was beaten up by other kids in the slums and every time I got food, they would take it from me, every time I would try to fight back, but they were much older than me. Sometimes I would even starve for weeks, but because of my special body I was able to somewhat survive, by using water I was able to get some clean and good water so I didn¡¯t get sick much, but rarely when I got ill I had to starve for a month one time. Fortunately there was a kind old man who gave me a bit food and so I was able to survive till I got well again, but unfortunately the man was beat to death by others because he gave me food.¡± With his last words one could feel deep hatred, pain, and extremely terrifying killing intent from him, then Akemi tightened the grip on his hand, and seemingly it all disappeared, he continued, ¡°Everyday was extremely terrifying, and painful sometimes I would lay down covered by snow for weeks because I was beat up, but because of my physique I was able to recover. Snow seemingly has somewhat of a friendly feeling to me, as if every snow flake has spirit of its own, and each one of them is kind and friendly, when they touch me I could feel like a drop which the snowflake would drop into and ocean which is me and I would feel fuller.¡± Yin said as he opened his palm and multiple snowflakes fell on it as I magnet were attracting them. ¡°I started to believe that everything in the world has spirit of it its own and as if I am the lord of the snow flakes and I must protect them, they are my little friends my companions who would look after me during my lonely days.¡± Yin smiled as he gazed at Akemi looking at her eyes, Akemi embraced Yin holding him tightly said, ¡°I¡­I I¡¯ll be with you! S¡­so you don¡¯t have to be lonely anymore!¡± Akemi started sobbing, ¡®You really had to suffer a lot, how can one still be so kind even experiencing all that¡­¡± She felt as that she fell for him more and more each day. After long and comfortable embrace, they separated and both of went on their ways. When Yin got back Yuki was already sleeping, he still haven¡¯t asked anything about Yukis background or what happened, nor was he too concerned, he knew how tough it is too share something like this with others. During this week Yin actually found out about some stuff about the ancient Ice King and the story follows like this, ¡°Long, Long ago amidst the great Mountains at the edge of the continent a baby was born, with an extremely cold skin and he had extremely snow like skin. The baby was extremely beautiful, yet scary the new about the baby was spread out throughout the continent the continent, and one day the baby disappeared. No one knew where he gone and people of the continent went into commotion saying that the baby was taken by the gods as he was born into mortal world by an accident. Some would even say that he merged together with continent and became the true spirit of the continent, but no one knew for sure. After long twenty years a young man appeared amidst the raging armies between two empires who ruled the continent, with just wave of his hand he spread the continent in two by a gigantic ice wall. The man absolutely godly appearance of long Silver hair, deeply sky blue eyes and godly like body which shined snow like white, with sky blue robe clothes. The man spoke and as if divine voice sounded out throughout the continent, ¡°People of the Snow White continent! You shall not fight for the land of this continent you either join or be separated by this wall!¡± The man then disappeared and was never seen again but everyone knew that it was the spirit of the Snow White continent! It was the same boy who was born twenty years ago who shaken the continent.¡± Since then thousands upon thousands of years passes and now the continent has been divided into nine empires in total four of which had declared war against Murminks Empire, but what he read next absolutely out of his expectations, ¡°The legend says that the boy still lives at the upmost highest peak of the continent at the upmost corner, where he over watches the continent till this day. If one is able to get to the peak of the continent he will be rewarded by great treasures and power.¡± , ¡®Power?¡¯ Yin thought amused, ¡®it might actually be quite useful to check it out¡¯. Next morning, Yin sleeping like dead, seemingly even meteor wouldn¡¯t wake him up, saliva dropping from his mouth he was sleeping with fully open mouth and big perverted smile on his face; One could only imagine what he was dreaming. Yuki jumped on him and said, ¡°Yin wake up, wake up it¡¯s time for morning exercises! Stop sleeping you lazy bum.¡± Yuki laughed as she kept jumping on him, during this past week she became extremely more cheerful and she is extremely hard working, one could see that she went through tough times, she was no genius, but hard effort definitely made up for it. This moment in Yins dream, Akemi and Yin making out and then suddenly Akemi started jumping on him and saying, ¡°Wake up lazy bum¡± Yin not understand started opening his eyes he saw Yuki jumping on him, he laughed awkwardly, ¡°Stop! Uhh you interrupted my extremely good dream!¡± During this past week, certain changes could be seen on Yin behaviour as well as he become more cheerful and kind, but not one bit more merciless, he would always kill anyone who would be haughty, ignorant, arrogant people it¡¯s his own promise to himself to never forget his true goal. One could see that he smiled way more, and would even joke time to time. ¡°Who care about your perverted dreams, get up it¡¯s time for morning exercise!¡± Yuki said as he stood up and showed running motion she laughed pouting. ¡°Alright, alright! Hey! Also don¡¯t call me lazy bum!¡± Yin said laughingly, and then stood up and got dressed, going for a run with Yuki. Everyday Yin and Yuki would do simple exercises, such as running, pull ups, push ups, squats and plank, after Yuki would train with wooden sword while Yin with his heavy sword. Yin¡¯s heavy sword was about two meters in length, the handle thirty centimetres in length while the blade about one meter seventy, the blade was about two centimetres thick in the middle and its width was about thirty centimetres as well. The blade was whole thirty centimetres in with only the last ten centimetres were made into sharp ending. They would practice simple forms and swings, both of them could be called absolute newbies with the swords, so they were kind of good match for each only that their physical strength was completely not on par. When they were practicing with swords Yuki spoke, ¡°You know before being poor I was noble.¡± Hearing this Yin was quite shocked, because nobles very rarely become so poor¡­Yuki continued ,¡± When I was seven my family got robbed and killed, I had no place to go and so I lived on the streets, I had some friends so I was to get some food from them for a year. But after their parents got to know about me they disallowed them to meet me and so I was left absolutely alone, nowhere to go and not knowing how to survive I would beg for food every day. Yin I promise I¡¯ll work hard and become strong, I also want to revenge my parents.¡± Yin nodded and felt that Yuki started to swing the wooden sword harder, he was quite proud of this girl and her trials only shows that she won¡¯t give up. ¡°You know I was in quite similar situation to you¡­¡± Yin started talking about how he was thrown away, and how he was treated. When Yuki heard this she was extremely shocked by Yin words, and she realised that what he gone through is many times tougher then what she went through. ¡®Yin is someone amazing, he will one day accomplish his dreams for sure and I will make sure too look after him.¡¯ Other soldiers were looking at Yin and Yuki training and were quite surprised as they usually don¡¯t see such young girls training here, and they have been seeing this girl and the other guy training here every day for the past week. They saw commander and his daughter training here but she was a bit older then this girl and that happened few years ago, but since then they haven¡¯t seen no one else. Yin then saw Cestis and Hanky walking together towards them and he smiled continuing swinging the sword. ¡°Yin! How you doing, how was the introduction?¡± Hanky spoke. ¡°Hanky, Cestis hello, actually it was extremely useless and waste of time in my opinion, but nonetheless there was some useful information introduced. I am doing great too.¡± Yin said laughing. ¡°Who is the little girl? Ehh?¡± Yin said interestingly. ¡°Ah this is my friend, I am looking after her as a favour.¡± Yin said as he stopped Yuki from training. ¡°Hello mister my name Yuki nice to meet you.¡± Yuki said as she bowed. ¡°I see, I see! Actually we came here because Cestis want to have a training match with you¡­¡± Hanky said laughing. ¡°Hey I can speak myself! Aish¡­¡± Cestis pouted. ¡°Alright why not, but I must say I am new to the sword¡­¡± Yin said as he laughed. ¡°Alright I¡¯ll go easy on you¡± Cestis laughed as he took fighting stance. Yin nodded, and took fighting stance too he took wooden heavy sword, as they were going to fight with wooden swords. Cestis took wooden shield and a wooden sword, standing steadily but surely as well. They charged against each other, in just moment there were already next to each other, Yins heavy sword coming from right to left side with a swing. Cestis shield in hand, he took blocking position, and then swinged with his other hand which was holding short-sword. Yin¡¯s Heavy sword hit Cestis, and Cestis could feel as if a cannon ball hit him, he staggered and fell on the ground not being able to hit Yin. No ever expect such thing to happen, Cestis was two heads taller than Yin and he also had tough robust build, he was perfect for wielding shield. Unexpectedly he was thrown on the ground by just one Yin¡¯s swing, one could see monstrous Yins strength. ¡°Ah maybe I over did it a bit I am sorry¡­¡± Yin said laughing as he scratched his head, Yuki couldn¡¯t help but start laughing. Everyone was flabbergasted by this, Cestis not understanding how Yin had such strength he could only sigh, ¡°Brother Yin, you really are a heavy sword wielding no wonder you have such strength, even though your chosen attack was not good, but your strength really makes up for it¡­¡± Many soldiers were currently watching this interested as well they started training and challenging Yin wanting to try out his strength one after another. Currently one of the captains saw commotion at training grounds and shouted, ¡°What is this commotion?¡± One of the soldiers who stood not too far from his said, ¡°Sir there is newcomer with amazing strength! He is heavy sword wielder! Sir he even managed to beat Cestis with just one sword swing!¡± the soldier said with amazement in his eyes. The captain was surprised and went near them saw, one of the soldiers and Yin charging at each other, Yin swinging the heavy sword fr0om upwards down, like chopping wood, the other soldier held two wooden long swords crossed just a bit higher than his head, one could see veins popping out from his skin, he held the swords with his full strength. As soon as Yin sword fell on his swords, he could feel as if mountain just fell on him he immediately squatted, with no action left to do he fell on his butt. Both of them nodded to each other and then another soldier came to fight, all of them were learning from each other, it¡¯s very good for battle experience. Yin was improving by leaps and bounds. Captain couldn¡¯t believe that a kid with such frail frame would have such strength, ¡°He must be gifted by heavens with such strength, he needs to be nourished he might even become the pillar of our army.¡± He then got startled when he remembered something and put a smile on his face. After training, Yuki went back to the tent, and Yin headed out to Akemis house today Yin is going to meet Akemis parents he was extremely nervous. Firstly Yin went to the hot spring to wash him-self and then headed out to the get a bit of haircut, and cleanly shaves his facial hairs as it started growing recently. The one who shaved his facial hair and did a short ending cutting, was surprised by shiny and strong Yins hair, he said he has extremely good hair and that he should take care of them. Yin only laughed awkwardly, and didn¡¯t say anything. Yin got ready, all neat and tidy he headed towards Akemis house his cheeks flushed. It was around 4pm at this time, he knocked on the door of one seemingly not out of ordinary house. One could hear voice from the other side of the door coming, ¡°Mom I¡¯ll open the door, don¡¯t open it!¡± but then suddenly door opened and middle aged woman, with slightly brown skin, blond hair and green eyes opened the door she was about Yins¡¯ height, she was wearing tidy neat dress it was sub noble quality one could see that she prepared neatly. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. ¡°Oh, hello Akemis boyfriend I was waiting for you hoho you are quite handsome!¡± Yins face flushed he was at loss of words, he felt extremely awkward, ¡°MOM!¡± suddenly a sweet angry voice came out as Akemi ran next to the door, she looked extremely pretty, with a pink noble quality dress and neatly pinned hair with a very slight make up. When Akemi saw Yin, she didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or to cry, because he was actually wearing soldier uniform, she couldn¡¯t help but think that he doesn¡¯t have any other clothes. Akemi started laughing she said , ¡°Why are you wearing soldier clothes¡­? Phahah and stop standing there come in.¡± She saw Yin staring at her she blushed a bit. Yin then spoke, ¡°Ah yes hello, Akemis mom nice to meet you! My name is Yin! Nice to meet you!¡± Yin said extremely formally and he bowed at the end he ever repeated same phrase out of nervousness he then looked at Akemi and then said quickly, ¡°You look fantastically beautiful too!¡± Yin was embarrassed about wearing his soldier uniform as he didn¡¯t know what to wear in the end he spend three hours choosing costume and saw that it was already late and so he just went with his soldier clothes. ¡°Oh myyy¡­¡± Akemis mother said as she held the doors and Yin entered and then she silently whispered in Yins¡¯ ear saying, ¡°You look just like my husband when he was young!¡± Yin looked at her embarrassed, Akemis mother winked at him. Yins¡¯ went all read from awkwardness, Akemi sighed and pushed her mother to go forward she didn¡¯t want her mother to make things even more awkward. Akemis father was standing in the kitchen with Akemis sister as soon as Yin entered the room Akemis father with Akemis sister bowed and then said, ¡°Please look after Akemi¡± Akemis sister in childish voice said , ¡°Please look after Akemi!¡± Akemis father had skinny frame with seemingly quite tough muscle, he had short black hair, and blue eyes, wearing sub noble clothes. Akemis sister was extremely, pretty as well one could see that she will conquer countless men when she grows up, she had black hair, green eyes and petite body, she was dressed in sub noble dress, very cute. Yin couldn¡¯t help but this that this family is weird or it¡¯s just that he never had home and didn¡¯t know how it should be. Yin awkwardly bowed and said, ¡°Yes sir!¡± Somehow the awkwardness almost disappeared and Akemis father spoke, ¡°My name is Gandalf, and this is Akemis¡¯ sister Julie. *cough* our house might not be extravagant, but please bear with it!¡± Gandalf said and saw Yin looking around and said, ¡°Sir your house is very extravagant in my opinion, it¡¯s that all someone like me would want. It¡¯s extremely comfortable and family likes, and has warm atmosphere to it!¡± Yin said smiling he could feel the warm atmosphere in the house. Yin could see height being measured next to the door every year, and few painting of Akemi young as well also Akemis father and mother painting, he could also see some old dolls and abc books around the kitchen. It¡¯s everything that Yin never had, and truly perfect in his opinion. Hearing this Gandalf was very pleased and proud of his home it made him happy hearing this, he could see that Yin is not like other nobles, and he was wearing new soldier uniform too for some reason. Julie asked Gandalf, ¡°Dad, why is he wearing Soldier clothes¡± she asked innocently with curiosity. Yin almost fell on the ground hearing this only laughed awkwardly, and didn¡¯t say anything. Akemis¡¯ mother came into view awkwardly saying, ¡°My name is Kathrin I forgot to mention earlier¡­¡± she said. Akemi sighed again and then said, ¡°Ok everyone please lets go to the guest room and let¡¯s sit down!¡± As Akemi said it she dragged Yin to the guest room not waiting for them, in the guest room there was quite normal sized table with five chairs next to it, and bunch of food on it. Also some booze on the table, Yin got bad feeling about this somehow. Everyone sat down and then Gandalf said, ¡°Ok firstly let¡¯s drink for Akemi and Yin!¡± He raised a glass with booze. Time passed, it was very cheerful when the awkwardness disappeared, and everyone talked about good and bad things, for example how Akemi in second grade was better at maths than the teacher, and how Gandalf patted the teacher while he was crying¡­ It was already late and so Yin thought that it was time to say his goodbyes when suddenly Kathrin startled said , ¡°Where you going? Aren¡¯t you going to stay? There is plenty of room in Akemis room.¡± Akemi and Yin blushed and Gandalf coughed as if approving. Yin looked at Akemi blushing he said, ¡°Well then maybe I¡¯ll stay¡­¡± he coughed few times awkwardly, and then Gandalf said, ¡°Well it¡¯s time for us to sleep anyway so we will go¡­¡± Yin have already gained Gandalfs approval, he was extremely proud for her daughter to find such gentleman. Since Julie had already went to sleep few hours ago now only Yin and Akemi were the only ones still sitting on the table, extremely awkward. Yin then spoke, ¡°So uhm, will you show me your room?¡± He looked at Akemi innocently. Akemi laughed at Yins face which broke the awkwardness and she said, ¡°Alright¡­¡± As Yin was following her his heard beating extremely fast he didn¡¯t see but Akemi was biting her lip, she was playing with her hair as well. Akemis¡¯ room was at second floor, her room had big bed, all of it looked extremely girly, and there were loads of books around as well as dolls, it was very pink. As they entered Akemi said, ¡°Well here is my room¡­¡± One could see she was nervous. They were both awkwardly standing, both not sure what to do, one could only imagine how awkward it was. Unexpectedly Yin calmed down, and went behind Akemi taking hold of her left hand he turned her to his side and went extremely near her lovely face, which was as red as apple, she was playing with her lip. She took step back as she looked Yin from so up-close,Yin took step forward at the same moment, they were walking like this till the edge of the bed, Akemi stumbled on the edge of the bed falling on the bed. Yin climbing on the bed on top of Akemi, inside he was actually extremely nervous, this is the only thing he could come up with. It was extremely silent and the only thing could be heard is their heavy breathing, as their faces were merely five centimetres apart, Akemis hands on Yins chest as if she would want to push him, but at the same time not. Suddenly Yin spoke, ¡°I will kiss you.¡± He kissed her sweet lips with the taste of strawberries, her lips were extremely juicy and soft, once one tasting it would forever be bound to them not wanting to let it go ever. This is exactly how Yin felt right now he was locked to her lips he held her face gently with on hand embracing her with another. He kissed out once again locking their lips once again, teasingly he lifted his head Akemi following him like a magnet she blushed and embraced Yin. They embraced each other, not resisting their feelings, eyes closed, teasing each other and kissing; suddenly Yin opened his mouth introducing his tongue to her lips just slightly. Akemi following him, they touched each other¡¯s tongue. Like a shock going through their body they could feel arousal of their bodies, their emotions mixing in, and their hearts beating fast. Akemi could feel Yins tongue entering her mouth just locking with her tongue and retreating, locking their lips this time Akemis tongue entering Yins mouth locking with Yins tongue. Playing with their tongues they kissed passionately, their bodies heating up, Yin locked lips with Akemi again lifting his head they simultaneously opened their eyes momentarily looking at each other in the eyes. Akemi bit her lip, and Yin kissed her cheek slowly, then her forehead and her other cheek, locking their lips together, Yin held her neck and face gently yet controllingly, he shifted his kiss to her neck, going a bit lower down her neck with every kiss. Akemi let out faint *Mhmm* sound as she blushed, this made their bodies get much hotter. Hearing this Yins confidence jumped to the sky kissing her a bit more aggressive, but nonetheless gently. They locked their lips once again passionately kissing, their bodies burning with desire. Yin then gently touched her humpty dumpling with one finger going around in laps still kissing her passionately he could immediately see slight reaction. Yin then started moving towards the centre of her Scooby snack, going in laps closing in on her breast berry he could see obvious reaction of slight moan in between the kisses. Yin stopped the kiss and started pulling her dress of her, Akemi not resisting one bit, actually had high anticipation in her heart. It was her first time nonetheless, she could feel such feeling for the first time in her life, she naturally extremely curious about everything, she wanted to feel it even more. Taking off Akemis dress, Yin quickly took of his armor, embracing Akemi, kissing her deeply locking their tongues, bolting their lips, Yin started kissing her neck going a bit down with every kiss, slightly touching her skin on her frost detectors with his tongue. He looked at her pillows, billows and her pink small chest berries, flame rising up inside him, he started licking around her traffic stoppers teasingly sometimes barely touching her chi omegas. Playing with her chest berry with another hand, sometimes barely twisting it, sometimes pulling it gently, sometimes grabbing it roughly, sometimes fondling her smurfs. Her moans could be faintly heard as she was holding them in, he kissed her on her lips and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to hold it in, it¡¯s beautiful.¡± As he said it he bit her chest berrie just barely, licking just the tip slightly, and instantly contracting it. Hot fires burning inside them, she moaned loudly, she could feel Yins member touching her, she really didn¡¯t care about it anymore, she really wanted it right now. Their hearts beating fast, he kissed her on the lips once again, which is never enough and never too much, he slid his hand through her belly playing with her belly button, circling around it with his finger he slid his hand slowly towards her hoo-hee. As soon as he teased her clit, she moaned like crazy, playing around her clit he started going down with kisses, building up the anticipation. Akemi gripped the bet sheet tightly feeling him getting close to her mini she let out a moan, even before he actually reached it. She could suddenly feel wet amazing sensation dripping on her clit, and instantly like a shock gone through her body she crooked like a bow, her knees clenched gripping Yins head, her whole body shaking just a bit and then she dropped on the bed opening her legs, breathing heavily she looked at Yin her cheeks flushed she looked at him with love. She just experienced something amazing, which was unknown to her before, but now known. Yin started teasing and playing with her crotch with his tongue, his fires already reaching the maximum hearing her moans he wanted to feel the same. He slowly started entering her with his finger, she was extremely wet, Akemi feeling Yins finger entering couldn¡¯t feel a bit of pain, unexpectedly it felt just a bit good and strange. Yin entering deeper and deeper inside her crotch, felt it to be quite tight, reaching the furthest he can he started entering and exiting her, in equal rhythm, he was moving calmly, he then started licking and playing with her clit with his tongue. Unexplainable feeling welled up inside Akemi as she could feel the same feeling as before coming extremely fast she let out moans nonstop. Their hearts beating, fire burning, it¡¯s fire that could no more be distinguished between them, Akemi started trembling a bit and let out load moan, her body bowing again as she clenched legs again griping the bed sheet tightly, she let out another loud moan *Mhhhmmmmmmmmm! Ahhhhhhhhh!* she let out the moan she released her legs and started breathing even more heavily experiencing two orgasms in a row her muscles gave in. Looking Yin and seeing anticipation build up in Yins eyes she wanted to let him experience it as well she said faintly, ¡°I want you inside me¡­¡± Hearing this Yin could feel his member getting rock hard as if rocket is about launch. Yin not hurryingly, gently and slowly embraced Akemi kissing her and then slowly ramming his member inside her slowly extremely gently he entered step at a time. Akemi could feel something big and hot entering her she tried to relax, which was actually much easier after two orgasms, she could feel as the hot member entered her deep inside. It was unexplainable sensation, not logical, yet very good. Especially for Yin, who was waiting for this, the whole time, it was first time this sensation he felt right was the best thing he felt in his whole life ecstasy filled him, and he started moving slowly but surely, kissing Akemi. She put her legs around Yin locking her legs she indicated to move faster, as they were breathing heavily letting out moans, they could them being connected. They were connected with their bodies, desire welling up inside them, it was something they never felt before, they kissed passionately while making love, Yin flipped Akemi putting her on four and started pounding her roughly and rhythmically. Akemis hips started shacking and her arms gave in her back bowing it she stopped the moan she couldn¡¯t say a word and then let out faint moan. Yin in this sight could feel that he was near climax as well, and couldn¡¯t help but flip Akemi on her back and continued pounding, holding it in till she will climax again. Kissing her deeply Yin started playing with her breast, slightly touching the tip of her nipples, twisting it just barely, licking just a bit above her nipple, he could soon feel Akemis tightening, while himself hardening. He was thrusting his thick member like there is no tomorrow. Akemi let out moan following words, ¡°It¡¯s coming!¡± she let out another moan as she was about to climax, hearing this Yin could barely hold it in suddenly Akemi started trembling a bit once again shaking her hips her back bowed. Yin also let out manly moan as he was thrusting, stopping as soon Akemi stopped, his hot seed entering her. Both of them fell on the bed embracing each other soon to fall asleep. Warming atmosphere coming from them and actually light elements surrounding Akemi entering her body, her skin shining unexplainable phenomenon happening. Chapter Three- Trials Early in the morning Yin, Akemi her sister and her parents were having breakfast, atmosphere extremely awkward. "We heard you had great time together yesterday..." Katherin said slyly while laughing. Yin and Akemi went completely red out of embarrassment. ** Soon after Yin got back to his tent and saw Yuki exercising, he laughed and said, "I am back!" Seeing Yin, Yuki gave a hump and didn''t say anything. Yin sighed and said, "I''ll buy you some clothes later if you want..." Yuki put a smile on her face. ''Aish! This girl is sly! hahah'' Yin thought. Suddenly someone spoke from behind the tents door, "Yin, Captain Zhuan asked your presence, he said it''s very important." "Alright I''ll be there in a minute." Yin calmly answered, he thought that he might have finally gotten a mission. Yin quickly headed out, soon arriving at the big tent he saw three Captains standing talking about something. One of them glanced at Yin lifting his hand showing to go there. "Hello Captains." They nodded and one of them spoke, "Yin there will be Captains recruiting training going on in two days and we would like you to join, what do you think?" Yin was quite shocked a chance to be promoted to a captain? Who wouldn''t want that? He thought for a moment and realised the reason must be because his reputation skyrocketed between the soldiers. Who doesn''t want to be member of a strong captain? Ones survival in war would be much bigger fighting side to side with strong ally. For Yin this is like skipping many years of his life on missions and other crap, which was meaningless to him. "It would be my honour I never expected this to happen so soon though." Captains laughed slightly and then spoke, "Training will happen at the Snow White Peak Mountain, one must climb at least five hundred meters in order to pass. This involves extreme cold, and weak wouldn''t even be able to pass one hundred meters so be prepared." Yin didn''t know whether to cry or to laugh, in the end destiny kept sending him to the legendary peak. And now he has no other choice but to go there, it seems that destiny just can''t wait and see what''s going to happen. When Yin was about to get going suddenly one of the Captains spoke, "Yin you know, I saw you fighting with your heavy sword not long ago. You have good potential, but you need to improve on your technique a lot. Let''s go have a spar I''ll teach you a thing or two." "Wow that would be great Captain, many thanks." Yin answered with smile, after all learning means improving his strength. Improving his strength means improving his power, improving his power means one step closer to changing the world. Soon the Captain who was two heads taller than Yin, and has tough body very much soldier like. He had shoulder length hair and a bit of a beard with manly features, one could call him man of the men. He handed a heavy sword to Yin and said, "First of all, it''s not about which technique is better, but how you use the technique. Even the weakest technique in strange situations can become the strongest technique. Just because you know a technique or sword stance which covers wide range of attacks, doesn''t mean it''s good. Its good when you know wide range of techniques for a lot of situations, it''s because those techniques specialises in that area. Trust me people who created these techniques didn''t create them because they are flawed, but because it is good, extremely good for them. Let me give you an example, imagine a man who lost his arm he thought he cannot wield heavy sword any more. What he thought is wrong let me tell you, do you think you cannot wield heavy sword in one hand? Yes you can, but the way you wield it will be completely different, from when you wield it with two hands. One must learn how to wield their weapons with both hands which is the basics for every soldier, second you must be capable of wielding different weapons, third you must learn how to wield different weapons, because only then will you properly understand your foes flaws. Now then let me teach you something about heavy sword, hold it horizontally pointing it towards me." Yin kept listening and nodding about what the captain was talking about, he thought that everything he said makes a lot of sense. He pointed his heavy sword towards Captain just like he was asked to. "Good now tell me what heavy swords flaws is?" Yin kept holding the sword and said, "One has to expend much more strength executing heavy sword attacks and so your stamina lowers while your strength increases. "Yes that is true, now tell me can you wield heavy sword as a normal sword?" "Definitely not, heavy sword must be used a lot different for it to show its full strength. The reason for this is because it''s much bigger than normal sword." "Correct, one of the heavy sword weaknesses is its speed it is much slower than normal sword. Simple mistake while wielding heavy sword and your opponent will slaughter you. For this reason heavy sword wielders must swing the sword so that it would hit wide area. This leaves opponent out of choices, either dodge or block, but blocking might result in their injuries. When one goes against heavy sword they will usually try to dodge and attack as quick as possible, if the heavy sword user is not able to block the attack it will most likely end up in death. This is why one must have incredible strength, in order to wield heavy sword properly as to avoid its disadvantages." Yin nodded in understanding, and swung the heavy sword few times. "Another thing is the length and shape of your heavy sword, which determines your attack range. For heavy sword users it''s very important to keep the range to the maximum." Yin nodded calmly, continuing to listen. "Now show me, what kind of slash would you use against, sword and shield wielder." Captain said, curiously looking at Yin. Yin thought for a moment, but couldn''t really come up with nothing. If he slashes from the side then the shield user can just block it with his shield. If he manages to block then Yin surely will be dead as it will easy for the shield user to then get to him. If he slashes from the top then he can easily dodge it, but then suddenly he realised something. "Sir there are only two choices in my opinion first is to use the heavy sword as a spear and try to pierce enemies shield. Second choice is to slash from the side using momentum, hit the shield, changing in position, quickly giving a spin and slash from the other side. If I am fast enough it would be certain win." "Very good, second option would be the best option indeed, but don''t forget you can hit from below, knocking the opponent backwards, and then jumping on him with your sword with your all might . I tell you something important about heavy sword, at first it was created for defence and not attack! Because of its gigantic size whole person can hind behind it, which makes it a shield and it can be used as sword to attack. But because of its extreme weaknesses only the strong can use it and it doesn''t mean, just because you are strong you will be able to beat your opponent remember! Who do you think is going to win you who have greater strength or someone with supreme technique and control! Think, son without risk there is no reward, if you want to wield heavy sword you must put five times the effort other people put in! If you are unwilling to die you are never achieve what you want, you must give on your life and put your life on line." Yin nodded saluting, "Sir, Yes Sir!" Yin was absolutely pumped. Yin realised that he must work many times more than others in order to make his dreams come true. He put on his heavy armor, took his heavy sword and started swinging the sword, from left to right, from right to left, from sky to the ground, from ground to the sky. Without wavering, his full focus on training he could feel as the time flew, he was fully immersed in training. ''Ah I have to train more! Why is my body so weak! I must work five times harder than others!'' Yin kept swinging the sword as hard as he can, barely lifting the sword, he stopped and started doing sit ups, "There was time when I was weakling, no matter how hard I would fight, no matter how hard I would try and no matter how many times I didn''t give up I still kept being beaten up and left without food. This is not going to happen again!" Yin jumped from doing sit ups he took his heavy sword swinging again, soon evening come and he kept training, like crazy. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. *Gasp* *Gasp* Yin heavy breathing he was barely standing, he suddenly heard screams coming. He started walking to the Capitals gates and he saw beasts rushing in to the city; as he heard horn sounding out from one of the soldiers, "Wild beasts attacking protect the town!" Yin smiled, he wanted to test out how much he improved he took his heavy sword and charged amidst the beasts. Sweat dripping from his head as he walking towards the beasts, he saw beast walking towards him. Yin did have time to think why the beasts were attacking, what was the point or reason for this, but he knew that he must slaughter them or the capital might fall. A beast red as blood in colour in the shape of lion charging at him, with his claw targeting Yin''s neck it let out a growl. Yin didn''t stop at all charging at the red lion he lifted his heavy sword piercing with it towards the lion, just few meters from each other Yin changed his pierce to swing. *slash* the red lion was cut in almost half as the gore splattered on the ground as it could do nothing. The same instant three Snow White tigers charged at him, Yin didn''t panic calmly he was actually smiling, it looked very terrifying as his clothes were painted red from the red lion''s blood. One would probably piss himself if he saw Yin, like this in the middle of the knight. Yin stood there waiting for the tigers, when they were about five meters from him, he swung his big sword from right to left with all his might, almost lifting himself in the air from the momentum, at this time one tiger managed to dodge while other two fell down with their heads barely hanging. As soon as the tiger dodged it attacked Yin, the tiger barely two meters from him, Yin didn''t panic as he jumped backwards with his heavy sword, swinging his sword from ground to air, grazing the grass, cutting the very tops of the grass. Tiger charged at him, at this time Yins sword was still pointing towards the sky, Yin put on crazy smile from ecstasy, he gripped his sword changing his hands he pierced with the sword down, tip went towards the ground. The next moment *drip**drip* the tigers blood flowing on the snow painting it red, Tigers head pierced. Yin charged, at the beasts, one bear like with green fur and horn on his head, one Birdlike Black like the night itself, blending in perfectly one could barely see it. But all they could do is to die by Yins sword, as he went through the crowds, soon piling up in tens. Suddenly a whole crowd of twenty or more beasts started charging at him, Yin as clam as water, unmoving, blending In with the red snow, he started giving of terrifying killing intent. Yin roared as he charged at the beasts when suddenly a shout from behind him came, "Charge!" and many soldiers charged at the beasts, "Today we die or the capital falls, we sacrificed our lives for the people. Do not be afraid, because today we are going to become heroes!" One of the captains shouted as he charged in front of them, lifting his sword in the air, he bashed against a bear like beast with his shield. Next moment he already pierced with his sword in to the beasts head, not even waiting for the blood he kicked the bear while it fell another beast charged at him from the side, soldier next to the captain pierced it with his spear, like a barbeque. Yin slaughtering beast by beast, one after another, it was as if an invisible wall were in front of Yin which none of the beasts could cross. Soldiers through the sides of their eyes, were looking at Yin with respect, their blood pumping up they looked at Yin as their inspiration, as they fought with their whole strength. Yin sweat dropping from his head, his body becoming heavier and heavier, but he didn''t give up, no he couldn''t give up not that he didn''t want to give up. An extremely loud roar sounded out like a thunder throughout everyone''s ears as they saw trees falling down, and a huge lizard like creature was nearing the soldiers, it was covered by sand colour scales and had extremely long tail which was lifted in the air swinging. The tail seemingly reaching the sky, looking as strong as steel, with every swing whistle could be heard. On its head big horn and it had big nostrils as well as huge mouth with sharp teeth, not forgetting its claws which were monstrous. Everyone was shocked to the bone, but their spirit didn''t die, no instead their spirit grew, "Gentlemen! Today we will probably die here, but we will die as heroes!" Everyone spirited, they were soldiers who volunteered to the army every single on them joined knowing their life will be on risk. Their blood boiling, they roared, crashing against the beasts, one on one. Yin saw the thing and his blood started pumping, he knew this will be his biggest foe yet, as looked at the lizard, it''s like they knew that no one else here besides each other are opponents to them. Suddenly cold atmosphere erupted from Yin, as he stared at the lizard his killing intent mixing in, Yin charged at the Lizard. The lizard swung his gigantic tail at Yin, not waiting for the tail to come at Yin he slashed with his sword at the lizard''s tale with all his might. Unexpectedly he couldn''t even scratch the lizard''s skin, as he was sent flying, breaking few trees. Barely standing up he started to slowly walk towards the lizard, heavy sword in his hands, like a demon he had no feeling of fear. Ignoring everything the lizard charged at Yin, swinging his tale at him again, this time like a whip send it flying at Yin. "Damn it, I don''t think I can block this, I guess I have no other choice, but to use my powers." As he silently said it cold breeze swept from Yin, flying towards the incoming tail freezing everything in its way. As soon as the breeze touched the lizard''s tail, it started to slow down stopping two centimetres from Yin''s head. Yin shopped with his heavy sword at the tail as if he was about to cut wood, shattering the ending of the lizard''s tail. The lizard shrieked miserably as a gas-like substance started emitting from the lizards nostrils, the next moment it opened its mouth and fire swept throughout the forest. A huge fire tornado approaching Yin at an astonishing speed, Yin without wavering, pointed with his sword towards the fire tornado and an ice blizzard swept out. Like waves crashed against the fire tornado, two powers have faced against each other neither of them able to surpass the other. Yin knew at moment he can only try with all his might to surpass this seemingly indistinguishable fire, it''s either he fail, or he win. Yin''s face changed as he roared and slashed with his sword through the air, and cold wave roared through the air as it went towards the fire tornado, *Puff* A giant smoke mushroom fifty meters in high appeared, as the ice and fire both disappeared. For about 3 seconds it was, silent and nothing happened, Yin knew very well that this is not the end. And the next moment, from behind the smoke a lizard figure came flying towards Yin with its claw targeting Yin, at the same time ball of fire came from its mouth. The fireball was nearing Yin twice as fast as the lizard, and Yin didn''t have any way to dodge it. Yin swinged his sword from the ground to the sky and a mist condensed in front of him it was snow white with silver shine to it, one could feel terrifying cold coming from it. As soon as it condensed the same moment fireball the size of five men hit the mist, the huge impact sent Yin flying backwards. Rolling in Yin didn''t wait anything as the lizard was already ten meters in front of him, and it was approaching at incredible speed. Yin stood as memories of Akemi flashed in his mind "I don''t have any more Yin energy left in my body, I either defeat it or I die. NO! I cannot die! I cannot put Akemi to danger if something happens to her I will forever hate myself..." Yin roared with all his might and coldness radiated from his body, he took a step forward launching himself toward the Lizard he pierced with his sword towards its claw. At this moment a man and a beast, both in the air, one with sword and one with claw attacking each other, It was sight that cannot be seen, often because today a hero in the eyes of other people will be born. *Shreeek* Ear piercing sound came from the two collisions, as if two metal blades collided without each having advantage over each other. Yin could feel the toughness of this beast''s scales, but he knew it wasn''t tough enough, as his sword pierced through the Lizard''s tail cold spread out from the sword towards the inside of the lizard, and it let out an extreme scream; Fire started coming from his nostrils and its mouth. Suddenly the lizard started to get bigger, when suddenly the lizard exploded making five meters deep and ten meters wide crater in the ground; sending trees and other things flying who was with in fifty meters of explosion. Yin gave a laugh, saying, "This motherfucker, killed himself..." as he said it, the sheer force of the explosion sent him hundred meters flying. Hitting the capitals wall he made a crater in the wall. He spit mouthful of blood and fell on the ground blood flowing from all of his body, his bones broken he was laying down on the ground, he smiled faintly and silently said with faint voice, "You lose." Chapter Four- The Truth After a week, Inside Murumink''s Empire''s Capital, Inside one of the hospitals. On one of the beds which was covered with hanging drapery, a man with a just bit facial hair and long black hair, his body seemed frail. His whole body was covered in bandages. The young man opened his eyes looking around, he felt pain all over his body, he could barely move his body. "Aish, so I am still alive, I knew I wouldn''t die so easily hehe, but I can feel that most of my bones are broken." This young man was exactly Yin. Yin coughed few times and suddenly Akemi ran inside. She was sobbing, tears falling one after another she saw that Yin had opened his eyes she started sobbing ever more. Yin gave a faint laugh and said faintly, "Hey don''t cry I am alright, I''ll heal up and be like new again hehe." Akemis started pouting while crying, "You dummy! who said you can get hurt! look at yourself all full injures what will you do if your thingy won''t work anymore!" "Hey hey! don''t joke like that! it''s not even funny..." Yin said as he laughed bitterly inside, this woman really says ridiculous things... '' How can my precious friend not work! watch when I heal up hmph! hmph!'' "Don''t worry, don''t worry I can do it without my friend! no no no no... My friend will work sure, when I heal, just watch!" Yin joked, as he laughed a bit and he coughed with blood. "Dummy!" Akemi said, as she saw him cough blood she was worried to death. Akemi hugged Yin, he enjoying the hug could feel that something was amiss. It was somewhat warm yet strange energy he could feel, ''What is this?'' Yin taught surprised he couldn''t understand. Yin noticed that the faint warm energy coming from Akemi, he could feel the energy embracing him. He couldn''t understand what it was, he could feel it being similar to that of his own energy. "!!??!" Yin looked at Akemi extremely curiously, he could feel the energy coming from her body and helping him heal just barely but surely. "Akemi!" Yin suddenly said, startling Akemi as she curiously looked at Yin, she didn''t realise that she was actually giving Yin her energy subconsciously. "Akemi, you can use light element ?" Yin asked Akemi curiously, because he read in the books that light element has healing effect, and this warm sensation. "What ? no I can''t dummy what are you talking about?" Akemi looked at Yin curiously, she couldn''t understand what was he talking about. Using an element is something that she could never imagine, she thought that it''s out of her reach, and only those blessed by the gods can use it. "No really, Akemi you can use light element! I could feel it coming from your body!" Yin was absolutely sure of this there is no mistaking. At this moment, on one of the houses, two men in blue uniform were standing, both of them looked at each other shocked, they could feel light element coming from Akemi. "Inconceivable... This actually happened hahahaha!! ahahahah! One in billion chance! One in a billion! what are the chances, brother... what are the chances ??" The tall man nodded at short man words and he spoke, "Truly, one in a billion... I have never actually seen it myself, it was only recorded in books... To actually, gain Light Queen body... only when someone who posses King''s body, can give their other half Queen''s body! Both of them must be virgins, and the chance is one in a billion! In all existence there haven''t even existed more than hundred milion kings! Only once before has a queen appeared! This time Light Queen appeared it seems... I imagine the future of this couple, unimaginable... Brother my hands are shaking! We must get them to join our clan as soon as possible!" The short man stopped tall man from going and said, "Brother be patient, they will surely join our clan, but we must wait or it might not happen." The short man said, with smile on his face. Akemi was shocked by Yin''s words, ''I have light element ?'' It was something unimaginable for her. "Me..me ? light element I can use light element ?" Yin nodded, "I am absolutely sure of it, I could feel healing effect from your element. How long was I in coma?" Yin asked. "One week..." Akemi answered faintly, she was somewhat worried. "Yes, I am healing somewhat faster... You really have light elemental affinity, it''s wonderful! haha, wonderful!" Yin said as he was extremely happy, about it. "But how do I use it?" Akemi said she was ecstatic as well, she still couldn''t completely believe it. "You must get rid of all your thoughts, empty your mind and be shapeless like water, imagine river of light flowing inside you. Focus empty your mind, concentrate, put your mind two centimeters up your belly, concentrate with your hands and with your mind. This might take a while so don''t over do it, calm down, and get rid of your thoughts. Feel it." Yin said calmly, as for him it was much harder to find out everything, he had no teacher. Akemi nodded as she sat on the chair next to Yin''s bed, she concentrated trying to feel it. Sweat dripping from head, it''s very mentally exhausting and hard to do this for the first time. Slowly two hours passed and she felt something, she felt warmth residing in her belly, slowly she started seeing colour, where she slowly started seeing small world of light just like the sun it self, but much brighter. But it didn''t burn or feel pain, or any danger coming from it, instead she could only feel warmth coming from it, and pleasant feeling. Akemi opened her eyes as she had big smile on her face, she said loudly, "Yin I can feel it! I can feel a bright world two centimeters up my belly! and it''s warm! It feels amazing." Yin smiled, "Great! great! It''s just like mine... Only that mine is world of cold, but I cannot feel the coldness instead I can feel calmness radiating from it. Now in order to use it, try imagining taking the light from the planet flowing through where ever you want imagine it coming out of your body, through those points on your body." Yin started talking about the Qi points on the body, through where it is suppose to flow. Yin have found over two hundred Qi points in his body with slow meditation and trying to flow his Qi energy through every single part of his body. "That''s how I was able to use it, with this power you can control your element. But to control element is much harder It will take you long time, but you can try extracting the light power from your body to flow out which will help me heal." Akemi nodded, time slowly passed and after about one hour suddenly little light appeared on Akemi''s palm she cried out and said, "Yin look! I managed to do it!..." Yin looked at Akemi shocked, he was astonished by Akemi''s comprehension, no wonder she is declared genius seen only once in hundreds of years... How can it be so simple to actually do it? Although Yin understand that it is partially because he explained it pretty well to her while he had to find out how to do it himself. He even made his own techniques, such as blizzard, ice slash, ice wall, instant freezing, ice breeze, but it took him twelve years after all. "Good, good now try sending your light energy to me." Yin said and suddenly Akemi''s grain size light ball flew to Yin and entered his body. Yin could feel warmth welling up and surrounding his body, he felt extremely comfortable, and suddenly fell into dream world. Akemi was surprised, but continued giving Yin her energy hoping it to help Yin recover. In a blink of an eye another week passed in which Yin, recovered quite a bit but still had a lot too heal, leaving him laying on bed all the time. Although only week passed many things happened. Yin and Akemi came to hard decision which is Yuki being taken in by Akemi''s parents and now she lives at Akemi''s place, she was actually quite happy to have two older sisters and now she can go to school. Another thing that happened is Yin was promoted to higher captain, because of his incredible achievement in killing the Sand Fire Lizard, he was declared as hero just like other soldiers who survived. However no one still knows why the beasts attacked, it was extremely serious matter and the soldiers around towns were all on their feet for the past two weeks, but since nothing else like this happened they calmed down. Three in total soldiers died, and Yin felt guilty for it he wanted to go and apologize to their families, but neither he could walk nor the family would accept his apology. All of the captains were extremely respectful towards Yin most of them saw him fighting, they could see Yin''s inextinguishable fighting spirit, all of them would come and pay respect to Yin almost every day. The gains from that day''s fight were however actually very big, as all of the meat from those beast were eatable, and leather can be used from them. The biggest gain is the fire lizards scales which, when the lizard exploded were like metal disks cutting deep into the trees one after another, luckily soldiers were able to avoid them with minor injuries. These Lizards scales can almost used like small shields, but most importantly as armor, which will be used for special forces of the army. This will extremely help the army, as they were quite at the disadvantage, but now they believe they could restore the advantage, as one can equip around ten people with the scales, it''s extremely light yet sturdy. And weapons or arrows wouldn''t be able to pierce them, making the special forces soldiers much stronger, as they were the best out of best in the empire already. Lucky thing is that neither of Yin''s injuries were fatal somehow and the doctor it said that as soon as he recovers he will be able to be just like new again, with Akemi''s healing during the week he was recovering many times faster. Soon enough Yin will heal and will be able to join the war. Five days later. Inside Akemi''s house, in her room, Yin with dirty smile on his face he was sleeping on top of akemy. Literally. "Yin ! wake up get off me!" Akemi cried out as she woke up finding Yin sleeping on top of her his head on her chest while he was sleeping belly to belly on her. With dirty smile that too, one can only imagine what he was dreaming. At this time in Yin''s dream he was surrounded by hot big breasted girls one of them serving, another three massaging his body while some other dancing next to him, suddenly one started slapping his face and started shouting, "Wake up! Wake up!!!" Yin was startled slowly opened his eyes his smile gone as he saw another slap coming to his face he closed his eyes hoping that it won''t hurt. *slap* sounded out through the house then, "Ouch!" and then "What happened !? why you hitting me!" House ironically went silent again. "I should be asking why you sleeping on me like that I can barely breath! not to mention that I am suppose to sleep on you like that not you on me! Hmph! hmph!" Akemi pouted as she turned to the side not talking to Yin. Yin put on evil smile he spoke, "Hehe you know my member is already working hehe" Yin laughed evilly as he said and poked with his finger Akemi''s right butt cheek. "Ah!" Akemi startled her face red she took her feather pillow and started hitting Yin. He laughed as he said, " I give up! I give up!" raising his arms in air he got hit by pillow in the face. When suddenly out of nowhere two men appeared in front of the bed, one tall with crazy hair and blue uniform another short with crazy hair and blue uniform, looking at Yin and Akemi, one of them coughed. Yin and Akemi startled both shot up, jumping out of the bed Akemi in her nightwear while Yin absolutely naked with his member in the air swinging, he covered it with his hands shouting, "Who are you?" Akemi looked at Yin embarrassed, "Why are you naked?" she said silently as she gave a sigh. Yin looked at her awkwardly, not saying anything. The short man said something silently to the tall man''s ear and his face went ashen he tried to hit the short man, but instead hitting the air as the short man appeared standing just barely further. Five minutes earlier. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. On top of one of the houses roofs two men standing, "Brother It''s time." The tall man nodded as they appeared in Akemi''s house standing watching as Yin was being hit by pillows. The short man coughed and they saw Yin and Akemi jumping out of the bed, seeing Yin''s member he chuckled inside and whispered in the tall man''s ear saying, "His member is bigger than yours. haha" Presently. The short man bowed a bit and started talking, "*Cough*, please dress up and we will talk then" The short man turned his back to Yin, tapping the tall man." Yin and Akemi quickly dressed up, both embarrassed not understanding what was going on, but they obviously saw the short man''s speed it was, it was inconceivable with eye they didn''t even know how or when the short man moved. Yin was absolutely shocked, he couldn''t imagine such thing being possible, ''What does one have to do to achieve such speed?'' Yin was eager, his heart full of excitement. Yin coughed as he spoke, "We are dressed..." The two men turned around nodding the tall man started talking, "It''s very nice to meet you Akemi and Yin, we are brothers, I am Babu he is Babi. We came here with a request of joining our Snow White Dragon Clan." Yin calmly looking at them he spoke, "What is this Snow White Dragon Clan? I never heard of it." Short man answered Yin, "Snow White Dragon Clan is clan of deviners and martial artists. Deviners are those who can control the elements with magical energy or King and Queen energy while martial artists are those who can strengthen their body with the element and use techniques to use the element they use Qi energy or King and Queen Energy. Youngsters when you saw me move with an astonishing speed earlier is because My body is strengthened by lightning Qi." To Yin and Akemi this was completely new world what they were talking about, they were completely confused. "Let''s go for a walk somewhere more remote I''ll explain in more detail." The short man said. Yin and Akemi looked at each other nodding Yin answered, "Alright." Soon they were walking behind the Capital Walls. "We right now are in the mortal territory, by mortal I mean people who live short and meaningless life, in this world we Cultivators live in between the mortal not showing ourselves as we do not care much about mortals unless they want to completely wipe out each other only then will we interfer. We live in completely different worlds, we Cultivators can live for much longer than mortals, once we achieve Olympian level we can become immortal. We are also many times stronger than mere mortals." As the short man said it he moved with an extreme speed he cut tree chopping it into tens of pieces with his bare hands. he cut it even before it got time to fall on the ground. Yin was absolutely terrifyingly shocked just as Akemi was, their eyes bulged out. This level is something out of their imagination absolutely unfathomable, Akemi was so shocked she even thought that he might be a god. Akemis family was actually quite religious they believed in supreme beings, Akemi almost wanted to fall on knees, but Yin stopped her. Yin nodded thinking about something, "Why do you want us to join your clan?" he asked calmly. Short man without waiting answered quickly, "It''s because you two can become absolutely more powerful, if you want. Inside of you two''s body there is a little planet which contains King and Queen''s energy, this makes your body have highest affinity to the element, at the same time stronger body and soul, making you able to be both Deviners and Martial Artists." Yin''s blood started boiling as he heard this, because it means he can raise in power! What they said is absolutely true that they have little planets inside of them. "What''s the catch?" Yin said calmly looking at them, it can''t be just so simple as just joining their clan and helping them raise in power for no reason. The tall man laughed faintly, "Kid you are quite smart, but all you two''s have to do is represent our clan. Of course if you betray our clan we will kill you, as simple as that." Yin thought for a moment he still had many question, but they weren''t appropriate to ask at this time, he disliked these two men arrogant behaviour and would kill them if he had the power. He now knew that he was only at the absolute bottom of the power and not on the top, he was no more but a bug in front of them, he now also realized that he knows much less about the world then he thought before. It was quite a shock to Yin, something he didn''t imagine. "Will we be able to get back here when we want or what ?" Yin asked. "You will be able to get back for twelve days once a year. We do not care about mortals much so it doesn''t matter if they know about us or not it doesn''t change nothing, it''s just that we like to keep it a secret. In other continents people usually knows about our existence, but our Clan is only thirty thousand years old and we don''t usually go around looking for potential mortals, unless someone like you two appears or someone with extraordinary affinity to element." The short man answered briefly. Yin nodded as he was rather baffled as the guy said only twenty thousand years, how would other clans or whatever exist then? Yin looked at Akemi who had rather puzzled face on her, all the element things and all that was completely new to her as she was trying to put everything into place. "I''ll talk about this with my wife." Yin said as looked at her, Akemi looked at Yin not knowing what to do. She then got over it a bit and said, "Who''s your wife! J! J..just becose we..we! nevermind!" her face went all red. "I will go with them and I want you too join me. Financially your family is already very good, and they might even take Yuki in, ah Yuki right." Yin said as he looked at the two men. "We will join, with one condition, you will have to accept my friend who is nine years old as well. I can guarantee, she might even be mentally stronger than me." Yin said calmly. The two men looked at each other, they almost never accept mortals this young. More so when someone doesn''t have anything special. "I must say that if we accept her, it will very hard for her as she doesn''t have anything special about her. In the clan it''s not like here, everyone is merciless and would do anything just to have more comfortable life." The tall man said. Yin nodded and spoke, "I already saw through this, I believe she will be able to handle it, and it will make her stronger. One cannot become truly strong without experiencing hardships. Also she is more special than you think." Yin smirked. The men nodded in acknowledgement, they understood that what he said is somewhat true and they were quite surprised by Yin''s words. ''Could it be that the little girl has something special to her as well?'' They couldn''t help but think this, having slight expectations. "Alright then you can take her with you, but you three will have to live separately, our clan spreads throughout whole of this continent. We made basses for each element in their friendly environment for faster training. You will be able to see each other for two days every month, also there will be meetings with students from different bases to share their experiences. You will get to know later, we should start as soon as possible." Yin nodded as he looked Akemi he said, "We will go get prepared we can meet tomorrow if that''s okay?" "Yes, we can wait till tomorrow." The tall man spoke. It was very hurried decision, but it is something that cannot be delayed. They soon got back to house and they were having breakfast Akemi and Yin already decided on what they are going to say. "Mom, dad. Me, Yin and Yuki will be going to experience the world. It is something that we have to do... We will be back once in awhile, so um... Don''t worry okay ?" Akemi said with strange look on her face. Hearing this Gandalf and Katherin were both startled, as it came out, out of nowhere. How can they just decide this so fast without nothing?. "How can you go explore the world, when it''s so dangerous everywhere have you gone nuts ?" Gandalf said looking at the two, thinking they really gone nuts. "No, no father in law what she said is true, we really are going, but don''t worry I am confident in myself that I can protect them. So father in law don''t worry." Yin said. "But how can you decide this is so... So out of nowhere ? why do you want to go?" Katherin said, she was about to start crying. "Sis you really going ? take me with you..." Juliet said with sadness on her. "No sorry sis we really can''t take you with us, it will be too dangerous for you..." Akemi said, she was really sad as well, she actually really didn''t want to leave, but she also didn''t want to leave Yin. She also liked her power, light element is element of support and healing as deviner that''s what one does, on other hands martial artists when using light element they have absolutely highest level of recovery and second to none speed. This is new world and she is definitely not stupid she understood that this is chance to experience something out of this world. Her curiosity for everything is much greater than her peers and learning is what she always desired for. Katherin and Gandalf really didn''t know what to say, after all they understood that Yin and Akemi are already grown ups. "Mom, dad we really are going. This something we already decided. I know it''s a bit dangerous, but without danger there is no reward. We will head out tomorrow." Akemi said. Yuki curiously looking at Akemi and Yin she didn''t know when they decided this, but it''s not she could refuse either. After all Yin took her in and she is in cost of her life. "Alright, then we need to celebrate our last day together in a while!" Gandalf said as he took out some booze and food. He understood that they already can''t change their decision, all he could do is support them. Yuki sat next to Yin she spoke silently, "What''s going on?" "Ah excuse us we need to talk..." Yin said, and everyone nodded. Yuki and Yin went outside to the small garden at the back of the house. "It''s happened like this..." Yin started talking about everything making Yuki dizzy. "Whoa, whoa you are joking?" Yuki started laughing, barely understanding what Yin just said. "I am not joking, you will understand everything tomorrow. I must tell you that it will probably be extremely hard there, you must never give up, remember." Yin said as he patted Yuki. "So we are going to join them just like this?" Yuki said curiously. "Yes we will join them, because It is something out of this world, you would have saw that man as he chopped that tree I felt like a bug. I want to be as powerful as him, maybe then I will have power to change something." Yuki was a bit flabbergasted by what was happening, but she nodded and accepted she was somewhat of a smart girl. But most importantly she is absolute monster. The day passed quickly, as Yin was taking care of matters and leaving all his money for his his father and mother in law, he felt like they treated him like their own son. They were extremely good and kind hearted people, someone he can trust and knew that they wouldn''t become like other nobles. Chapter 5- New World Snow White Continent. Murumink''s Empire. Murumink Empire''s Capital. Next to seemingly absolutely ordinary no different from other houses, there stood five people, two youngsters one girl one boy seemingly about seventeen years old. A girl about nine years old and two muscular men in their thirties, one tall one short, both with crazy hair and blue uniforms. "Where is the main clan residing ?" Yin asked Babu(tall) and Babi(short). He was quite curious as to where the main clan resides, but he had some suspicions. "It''s at the Snow White Peak. It''s time to head out get comfortable." Babu said as he grabbed Akemi and Yin on the waist, while the short guy took Yuki on his arms. *Swoosh* They disappeared as if they never even been there. Yin only felt as he was moving at an astonishing speed, everything blurry. ''When will I be able to move at such speed ?'' Yin asked himself and he also laughed because in the end he still will be going Snow White Peak. He couldn''t understand if Heavens were helping him or not, he didn''t know whether he should to cry or to laugh... Yin''s blood boiling he couldn''t wait to see what''s life like there. Soon they arrived near the Snow White Peak, they stopped and Yin got covered in Bluish white colour while Yuki faint brown, and then the two men jumped. As if flying piercing through the heavens, piercing the fog and white substance which covered the peak, flying through it. An amazing view came across, It was huge temple on top of the Snow white peak, one could see the stars from this place, with breathtaking feeling to it. One could only see sky up and clouds downwards, going at least one kilometre up more, around the peak one could see many small houses and vegetation around, there was no snow or anything. One could see trees and everything growing absolutely astonishing, and on the very top a big Temple resided. Small pathways leading around the peak, some people walking could be seen. Yin and others slowly landed next to the temple. The temple was made out of stone and it had ten or so building connected to it, in the middle there was big hall, where one could enter any-time. However the other buildings had doors which were closed. In the hall there was an elderly man speaking with youngsters around sixteen or so years old. The elderly man had wise brown eyes, which radiated with wisdom, white shoulder length hair and long beard, he was covered by blue robe. "Remember dantian rounding is very dangerous! Ask an elder when you think you are ready to start rounding your dantian. He will support you in case your dantian becomes unstable. Alright today''s session is over you may go now." The elderly person said as he saw Yin and others walking in. "Whoa! is this even possible, how can a temple exist so high up ? and so many people...?" Yuki said as she had ecstatic and astonished face on her. Yin and Akemi were quite surprised by this as well, one could only imagine how hard to get things built here is. ''This is quite amazing place, I can''t wait to see where this will lead...'' Yin taught with smile in his mind The students were currently exiting the hall looking at Yin, Akemi and Yuki curiously, mainly because they have never seen them before and newcomers are quite rare too. "Hello! Babu and Babi" The elder man said, as he bowed slightly, Babu and Babi bowed a bit too, bowing the three too. "Hello Master Zhing, we are back from our search, we found few treasures haha!" Babi said. "Yes ? these three youngsters eh ? so how special are they ?" Master Zhing looked at the tree looking from head to toes. Babu laughed, patted Yin and spoke, "This Is Yin, Ice King..." When master Zhing heard this his eyes almost popped out from surprise, it''s been quite few years since last Ice King showed up. "Good! Good!" He said as he looked at Yin delighted, this time they catched a big fish he thought. Babu laughed then patted Akemi and spoke, "Akemi, the Light Queen." Master Zhing took two steps back as his eyes popped out he said, "I am sorry, I think I am getting old you said Light Queen? hah I must be going crazy already... I need to train more diligently from now on..." Babi laughed and said, "You didn''t misheard she really is Light Queen, she is Yin''s wife hehe" Master Zhing opened his mouth and started laughing loudly, his voice going throughout the whole peak, "Gods, have really blessed us! an Ice King and a Light Queen! What a perfect match!", ''This must be kept a secret! if other clans gets to know about this they will try to snatch them with their lives!'' Master Zhing thought as he looked at the youngsters he then looked at the young girl and said, "And how about this young girl?" "This is Yuki, she was taking in by us as agreement to Yin and Akemi joining us. We are not sure if she has an specialties..." Babi spoke. Yin thought secretly, "If they knew...haha they would probably go crazy as well, I was astonished about her myself..." Master Zhing nodded in agreement, but he suspected that this girl must not be ordinary if she was hanging around these two nature freaks. Yin and akemi didn''t speak yet, but they didn''t know what to say either. "Alright let''s go get your uniforms, space belt and some other things and you can go to you will be sent to your training areas." Master zhing said as he led them to one of the rooms. The room was pretty small just enough to fit ten people, around the room there were six columns and inside each of them there was big black sphere, it seemed that if one looked at them for too long they would be lost in it forever. It gave of very mysterious and ancient aura as if it was carved by the gods themselves. Master Zhing touched one of the black spheres and in Yins, Akemi''s and Yukis hands appeared blue uniform it had long sleeves cotton jacket, wide pants with tight endings on it and blue belt with twelve black small spheres around it. The spheres were exactly the same as the big spheres just smaller. They were flabbergasted about, and couldn''t understand how it appeared in their hands. "These are Interdimensional space crystals, depending on the size of the crystal it has different amount of space on them, it works by putting our finger on it, and only has one owner in it''s lifetime. One can store items inside it." Master Zhang spoke with little laugh one could see that he was in an excellent mood. They didn''t really understand but surely they will understand what it is soon enough. Then Master Zhing touched another black sphere and three big books appeared on their hands, " These books contains a lot of information about cultivation and Olympian world. This is it for now, you should head out to your respective training areas, where teachers will guide you through your training." Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Everyone nodded and headed outside, "All right you guys should say your goodbyes, you will only see each other in couples months only. Ah wait!" Babu said as he looked at Yuki, he touched her shoulder as he closed his eyes. "No elemental affinity to elements you will have to train in Qi, tell me what element would you like to train in with your Qi?" Babu asked Yuki as he had to know in order to get them for their elemental friendly areas. Yuki looked at Babu not knowing what to say, she didn''t even know what elements there was... "What elements are there?" Yuki asked with smile. Babu forgot that he haven''t told them what elements there is, "Alright listen you three''s, There is seven elements in total! Earth, This element increases body strength and skin toughness increasing your defence, most if it''s techniques are close range or is defencive. Water it increases body flexibility and your skin gains good resistance against cold, fire, wind, light attacks. Water techniques are specialized in long range attacks, but low on defence. Also for water element there is also Ice sub element which focuses on ice controlling, but they much less efficient with water, but much better at attack and defence, their body become stronger and tougher. They are efficient at close and long range attacks. Wind element increases your speed, but is low on defence. Wind users have techniques for close and long range. Wind user''s speed is second to none so you shouldn''t look down on them. Their cutting techniques are definitely the best. Fire element is pretty much the most destructive element. Fire element user''s bodies are fast, and strong, but their defence is definitely the worst. Fire element techniques are equally distributed between close and long range. In such areas as forest they are the most dangerous. Lightning element is fucking amazing, it zaps the life out of people. Lightning element users have very fast, similarly to wind users their defence is not the biggest. I am lightning user I know it, it has biggest one target destructive techniques. It has techniques for close and long range and it is strongest during stormy days when there is a lot of lightning element around. Light element users have speed second to none and their body recovery is much bigger then other elements. Light element doesn''t have much defence or attacking power as the techniques are few, but their support is really important in team work. They have techniques for close and long range. Darkness element users bodies are usually slim and their speed is high, their defence is low but their techniques is mysterious and unpredictable, they make very good assassins. They are strongest at night." Yuki''s head went dizzy for a bit and then spoke, "So which element''s techniques are hardest to learn and hardest to master?" When Babu heard this, he was quite surprised this was the first time someone ever asked him this before choosing an element to train in. "Well that would surely be darkness element in my opinion." Babu answered honestly. Yuki put on wide smile, "Then I''ll choose darkness element!" Yin looked at Yuki giving a laugh, he knew exactly why she chose darkness element, and why she asked that question. "Alright we should head out now!" Babu and Babi took them on their waists again and disappeared in the horizon, as if birds, gliding through soon emerging from the clouds. "So beautiful..." Akemi said as she looked downwards, they were gliding through the air flying forward from the Snow White Peak, they could even see huge dinosaur like birds flying not to far from them. "Alright we split here, say your goodbyes." Babi spoke. They said their goodbyes, "Yuki, don''t forget to be strong and never give up, no matter how hard it gets." "Roger!" Yuki answered with smile. Yin nodded and they went to different directions, gliding through valleys they soon entered deep in between the mountain, one could see everything was absolutely frozen. Ice storms everywhere, one could imagine how harsh the environment here was. When they were getting closer, Yin could see huge training area, and many houses around the whole valley which spreaded few kilometers in diameter. He could see some disciples sitting, meditating on the training area. "Alright Yin this is where you will be training, elder will meet you." Babi said as they landed in the ground. Yin quickly embraced Akemi, "I will miss you..." He said silently. He knew that he won''t be able to see her for considerable long time, he will miss teasing her, and he will miss her smile, he will miss everything about her. It doesn''t matter if it is imperfection, because in his eyes she was absolutely perfect, and all of it makes her what she is. Akemi looked at Yin she closed her eyes embracing him even closer, "I will miss you too..." she said just before kissing him roughly on the lips. Warm energy transferring from her to Yin, he could feel his body warm up and feel comfortably, he kissed her back slightly biting her lip. An elderly man suddenly appeared next to them coughing loudly he said, "Hello youngsters." Hearing this Yin and Akemi jumped from each other like spiral, both with red faces just like apples, both embarrassed to the bone. Babi gave a laugh as he said, "Master Taku I am here to deliver this young boy who is an Ice King, his name Yin, look after him." Babi said he bowed, took Akemi and disappeared. Master Taku was quite surprised as he looked at Yin it''s been almost hundred years since the last Ice king appeared in the clan, he was quite happy. ''He is as fast as always'' Yin thought and bowed to the elder. "Follow me Youngster from now on I will be one of the teachers here, we will give you one week to read the book you got and get to know this place then we can start the training." The two of them went past the frozen trees, unknown for how long those trees were here, forever frozen. Soon they entered area with many houses around, there were about five meters in between the houses, in total about fifty of them. They neared one of the houses and he said, "The houses are shared between the students, and food you don''t need while cultivating." Yin nodded ecstatic he couldn''t wait and start training already. Chapter 5.1- If the main character was actually evil Chapter 5.1-If the character was evil af I woke up early in the morning after some good action last night with Akemi, she really is a good fuck friend. After eating breakfast and acting like a good boy like always, it was time to head to those shits place to learn some cool techniques or whatever, I just want to get some girls and rule the world that¡¯s all I ask for¡­ When we went outside to wait for them, I saw some sexy girls walking and I accidently whistled at them, apparently Akemi got angry. Well it¡¯s not like I care, I already have her around my finger. Soon after those two douches arrived, they actually dared to hold on my waist while they carried me to the Snow White Peak, it seems that it¡¯s their main base. I already suspected that these douches were living there, where else would these cowards hide. They have such power, but can¡¯t even rule simple mortals. I was feeling absolutely sick, of his dirty hands holding me. I already decided that I will kill him when I am strong enough. Soon we arrived next to the peak, he just simply jumped and we pierced the clouds, and that white substance around the peak. Jumping through the clouds, a disgusting view of peace and harmony came into my view. All greenery and peaceful. I wanted to destroy all of it... On top of it there was temple with a lot buildings connected to it, we landed next to it. A lot of 16-18 students wearing blue robe were going out of there, I could see some potential hot girls that I could have fun with. As they were exiting and looking at us I blinked at some girls, doing ass slap motion. They looked at me with disgust, but I knew when I feel them up, they will fall all over me. Akemi still not talking with me, I just winked at her and she blushed turning her head to the other side. I laughed inside. An old man came from behind the students looking at one of his students butts. I laughed inside, thinking that this must some pervert, well not that I can judge him, the juicy butt of hers really looked good. I smirked at him as I looked at her butt too, the old man understood and smiled, putting up fake wise look on him, ¡°Hello! Babu and Babi¡± The old man said looking at them they bowed slightly. ¡°Who is these youngsters?¡± the old man said, as he looked at Akemi with, lust I gave a hmph, touching her but, I gave a look saying, ¡®It¡¯s my woman.¡¯ You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.¡°This Is Yin, Ice King¡­¡± babu, or babi whatever his name said as he patted my shoulder, I really wanted to puke but held it in putting on a smile, ¡®Fuck yeah I am Ice King wahahah just I¡¯ll become strong and kill you ahah¡¯ I thought. The old man was scared shitless when he heard that I am Ice King he even took two steps back. Really this old man is funny. Babu or Babi whatever his name patted Akemi saying, ¡°¡°Akemi, the Light Queen.¡± Hearing this, the old man was scared even more, he thought of how he could get of this situation, he knew that he offended me, but the clan will obviously have protection over me. The old man almost went crazy as he started blabbering bullshit. From going crazy he even started laughing all over the place. After the introduction we went to some room with bunch of black spheres, suddenly the man took out robes and a book out of it giving it to us. ¡®The hell is this sorcery?¡¯ I thought, but then he said that it¡¯s some kind of storing device, I was already planning how to get everything from it, because it was obvious that it could save some treasures in there. But then the old man said that only when the owner is killed only then will one be able to access them. Thinking of this I realized that this will be quite easy after all I only have to get strong and kill him as simple as that. Soon we went outside and Babu or babi whatever his name started blabbering about some elements or whatnot, some ice, fire, wind, earth, lightning, light and darkness. It seems that¡¯s the elements that exist. Yuki chose Darkness, because the techniques are hardest to learn, that sneaky girl is really good trained by me. Can¡¯t wait till we rule over the world. Soon we arrived at a very cold place which was for me to train, I gave Akemi a quick French kiss, another damn old man interrupted us. ¡®So many targets in this clan really, this will be fun¡¯ I thought as we went to my house. Seems I will have to share it with someone, well I¡¯ll just probably kill him or her as well, and I will be able to live alone. Chapter 6-Terrifying Chapter 6: Terrifying. As Yin entered the house he could see two, two floor beds, and a table with four chairs further. Three beds were currently taken as Yin saw three guys sitting in meditative position. One was short and quite chubby with black short hair and blue eyes dressed in blue robe. One was skinny with red hair, brown eyes. And the last was tall and thought looking, with long brown hair reaching his shoulders and blue eyes all of them opened their eyes as they looked at Yin. ¡°Who are you ?¡± They all asked simultaneously, absolutely in sync one could see that they were alike. They laughed because of this. ¡°I am your new roommate Yin, nice to meat you!¡± Yin said ecstatic, hoping they are good people. ¡°Hello, I am Jakob¡± The chubby guy spoke first, with big smile on his face. ¡°I am Zen nice to meet you.¡± The skinny guy spoke as he looked at Yin, his face is calm and seemingly unmoving. ¡°Purk, I am pleased to meet you.¡± The tall and tough guy stood up seemingly reaching the ceiling at least 2 meters in height. ¡®This guy is really huge¡­ I don¡¯t even know how he got to be in this element. He much more suited for earth ahah.¡¯ Yin thought as he remembered their names. ¡°Hey what rank are you?¡± Jakob spoke. Yin was a bit lost he didn¡¯t know he meant by rank ¡°I am sorry I only just joined here I am clueless about all martial artists or deviners and what not¡­¡± All of them nodded in acknowledgement, this is because every year there would be one or two people joining, from the mortal territory. They themselves were from martial families, but they weren''t arrogant towards mortals; after all the legend of this clan the greatest Ice king have come from mortals. Because of this ice element students don¡¯t usually look down on mortals. ¡°Alright, Brother Jakob will give you some pointers about it then, Every rank consists of ten levels, one must breakthrough each of them in order to advance to another rank. Ranks are easy to remember they are simply named each after, what you have to do. Rank one is dantian forming this is rank where throughout ten levels you form your dantian. Rank two is dantian shaping, In this rank one makes his dantian sphere almost egg shaped, It is extremely hard to do this and some people are stuck at this stage for the rest of their lives. Rank three is Qi liquefaction rank, this gives major boost in power for the people who pass this. Generally speaking rank two level ten and rank three level one is like comparing earth to heavens. Well that''s for now reaching higher levels is really hard and takes decades. For now we only hope to reach rank two which is not so hard compared rank three as the master says, but if you are lucky and put a lot of effort in it you will reach it by your twenties¡­ Well unless you are Ice King haha, Ice Kings are born being rank two, but of course unable to use it. But they say that for Ice King''s life is actually not that easy because one''s body must be trained way harder. Our master says that ¡®Kings are blessed by a curse, but if it''s given to the right person he will certainly achieve great things¡¯.¡± Yin nodded now in some understanding, he wasn¡¯t afraid of hard path actually he was rather excited. Yin didn¡¯t know if he should keep being an ice king a secret or not, ¡®I think keeping it a secret wouldn¡¯t hurt.¡¯ ¡°I see now....¡± Yin said to Jakob. ¡°Read the book that the elder gave you, you will learn a lot, we won¡¯t interrupt we go back to gathering energy.¡± Jacob said, it seemed that he is the friendliest here and likes to speak. Yin nodded as he got his stuff out of his backpack which is mostly simple clothes. He put his blue uniform on, looking at himself he was rather surprised how comfortable it felt. The cotton jacket and cotton pants, it felt more like heavenly silk and not cotton. Putting the belt with black spheres on and touching it with finger he could feel the inside of the sphere. He was quite surprised that in such small thing can fit two cubic meters of whatever. Yin took out the book he got from the elder, and made himself comfortable on the second floor of the bed, as on the first floor, Purk was meditating. Yin started reading the book, emerging himself in the book. ¡­.. At the Snow White Peak, In one of the temples building a round table with many elders seated, they were currently engaging in conversation. ¡°We should get that kid to The Great Dragons Temple, since he is Ice King he is already at the second rank. Who knows maybe a good dragon will choose him.¡± a bald elder with thick eyebrows said. ¡°We need to be patient too many things at the same time is not good. Let¡¯s wait a week, he will get comfortable with everything then we will take him there.¡± Elder with snow white hair which reach his shoulders said. All the elders nodded in agreement. ¡­.. ¡®So Qi is everywhere! It''s just that one cannot see it.¡¯ Yin said to himself. ¡®In order to gather Qi one must concentrate, cleanse the mind, and imagine a whirlpool appearing around me! A whirlpool that sucks in Qi. When the whirlpool is made one will be able to see the Qi energy, one must imagine the whirlpool. But the most important thing is belief, one must believe in the King''s energy. One has to want the energy, they must want the energy with all their heart.¡¯ As Yin was reading this he was completely immersed in it. He was completely focused on it, seemed that outer world didn¡¯t exist. He had astonished face on him. ¡®You must remember that meditation is something that is different for everyone. The way you meditate, the way you pose yourself during meditation will affect the rate of your Qi absorption. It is best to find your own meditation pose, but until then you must gradually do that. With the increase of belief and desire, your cultivation speed will gradually increase.¡± Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. ¡®Desire?¡¯ Yin thought to himself as he smiled. Why he smiled? It is because his desire for power is something that no one can match him in. Belief? This not question of belief, Yin himself has world of Ice king Energy in him since the day he was born. If he is not to believe that it actually exists what else can he believe in? ¡®But it is not just that. When the whirlpool and the meditation is in place, one must then absorb the actual energy. In human body there is in total fourteen main types of meridians and eight sub-main meridians, each type of meridian has many acupuncture points, which is in total 409, 361 main and 38 sub main meridians. In order for you to absorb King energy one must absorb the Qi energy through all of your 22 meridians leading through 409 acupuncture points, at the same time! If one thinks it¡¯s is easy one will never be able to cultivate.¡¯ ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I have only ever used 106 of those points...and it was extremely hard to find them too, and now I have to use 409 of them at the same time¡­.¡± Yin thought with extreme smile on his face. Yes! He had smile on his face, ¡®It¡¯s hard, it is extremely fucking hard!¡± Yin started laughing. Purk, Jakob and Zen opened their eyes looking at Yin, all of them thought that Yin must have went crazy, barely holding their laugh. ¡°The harder it is the more fun it is!¡± Yin said, as he closed the book, taking meditative position. ¡­.. In a blink of an eye a whole week passed, Inside remote area, blizzards and high peaks from all sides there was a plain small houses, in one seemingly non different from others, house. A young man of about seventeen years old, his skin is snow white which has become plain and scary too look at, he had bushy eyebrows, and long black hair, which must reach his ankles and green eyes. He was dressed in blue uniform and sweat dripping from his face, he was shaking and he was scarcely skinny, If one went closer to him they could see thin, but dense muscles. It was none other than Yin. ¡°AAArghh!!!!¡± Yin shouted, as seemingly invisible ice stream shot from his body. ¡°Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!¡± He kept swearing as he still in meditative position, his back and head straight, his legs crossed, his hands crossed thumbs pressing against each other two centimeters up his belly. Sweat dripping from his face, his veins pulsing, he seemed in extreme pain, his teeth clenched. ¡°A week, a whole week he has been sitting in that position! he haven¡¯t moved an inch!¡± Jakob said looking at Yin in terrifying shock. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s incredible I haven¡¯t seen anything like this before.¡± Purk spoke as he looked at Yin, he could almost feel Yin¡¯s pain himself just from looking at him. ¡°Alas, he still haven¡¯t been able to cultivate¡­ It took me one week to start cultivating but I barely tried to cultivate for two hours a day as it is extremely exhausting¡­¡± But how could he know that for Kings it¡¯s at least five times harder to cultivate and more exhausting. ¡°This guy is a monster...His talent is seemingly extremely low, but he makes up for it by will power, I don¡¯t understand how it¡¯s possible to cultivate for 168 hours straight...It does not make sense by common logic it should be impossible¡­¡± Zen spoke, he was terrified he wasn¡¯t even able to cultivate as he watched Yin, his blood is boiling. ¡®Compared to him, my efforts is worth nothing¡­¡¯ He thought looking at Yin. ¡®HAHA! I can feel it one more time, just one more time!¡¯ Yin shouten in his mind he was breathing heavily, an invisible vortex appeared surrounding him as he could now see the Qi energy. With all his will power he pushed the white and black energy entering in his body, through all 22 meridians flowing through all 409 acupuncture points. The white and black energy mixing, flowing in equal laps around each other making Yin and Yang, just when it was about to enter his ice cold planet, one of the streams delayed. An extreme piercing pain spread out through Yin¡¯s body as he shouted, ¡°One more time!¡± Starting from the beginning once again, Yin and Yang Qi energy mixing in entering his body. Suddenly elder full of white hair and very faint white eyebrows, covered in blue robe entered, it was Master Taku. Purk, Jakob and Zen bowed slightly as they saw elder entering. Master Taku looked at Yin, his eyes bulging out, ¡°What¡¯s is going ? why is he looking like that ?¡± ¡°Master Taku, he has been sitting like this for the past 168 hours trying to cultivate, seemingly his talent is very low, but his will power, his spirit won¡¯t let him give up¡­¡± Jacob spoke, as he looked at Yin. Currently Yin was absolutely focused on cultivation and outside world currently didn¡¯t exist for him, he was in his own small world right now. ¡°!AAAhh¡­¡± Yin suddenly let out another shriek as he felt pain, in his body. He tried to cultivate so many countless times that, his meridians started to burn, and his blood boil. ¡®One more time!¡¯ He said to himself, his teeth clenched, breathing heavily, and suddenly a smile started appearing on his face as the Yin and Yang energy started flowing into his small planet transforming into an icy energy filling up his planet. His Ice King Energy, was still in gaseous form seemingly making clouds on the small planet. Everyone seeing a smile appearing on Yin¡¯s face and his sweat drying, his skin recovering, his natural shine appearing. The three smiled looking at Yin, while Master Taku looked at Yin, like he were to look at a monster. ¡®What is this kid?¡¯ Chapter 7- Temples Everywhere Chapter 7- Temples Everywhere Enough time passed for an incense stick to burn, and Yin opened his eyes smile on his face, his body still obviously in pain, he saw Purk, Zen, Jakob and Master Taku staring at him. Yin started laughing awkwardly, ¡®Did I over did it?¡¯ He thought and tried to get off the bed but all parts of his body hurt, so he stayed still bowing slightly, ¡°Hello Master Taku. Why you all looking at me like this ?¡± Yin said, with smile on his face. Master Taku coughed few times, ¡°It¡¯s nothing continue, I¡¯ll be back tomorrow we will be going somewhere.¡± He said and went out, quickly disappearing. The three laughed, ¡°Ah¡­ No it¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just that you are quite a freak¡­ I advise you not to cultivate for next few days because, you might damage your meridians. You should rest, meanwhile we could get to know each other a bit.¡± Jacob and others spoke. Yin smiled, he understood that he overdid it a bit, ¡°Sure!¡± Yin said, ¡°So where you guys from exactly?¡± ¡°I am from Dinder Empire, from Zurger martial family, we are quite new martial family with only three hundred years of history. Also I am a Martial artist.¡± Jacob spoke as he sat on his bad, smile on his face. Yin nodded, with big smile on his face, his thick eyebrows looked quite funny. Dinder¡¯s Empire is located at the utmost south east of the continent, it is considerably much warmer there, Yin wanted to visit it sometime. ¡°I am from Xung Empire, from Sangu martial family, there is not much to say about my martial family, as I am only the second generation. I am a Martial artist.¡± Zen spoke, quietly and calmly, he was not a man of words seemingly. Yin, nodded, Xung empire is in the north east of the empire, it is extremely cold there as well, it is empire which is much bigger than Murumink Empire. ¡°I am from Xung Empire as well, but I am from Xian martial family, which is few thousand years old, it¡¯s quite famous between martial artists, we had few deviners in our family too, but they are rare.¡± Purk spoke with his low pitched voice, just like a mountain, smile on his face. ¡®How are you water martial artists?¡¯ Yin couldn¡¯t help but start laughing. ¡°What ?¡± Purk asked looking at Yin and scratching his head looking at Yin then at Zen and Jakob. Yin then spoke, ¡°I am from Murumink Empire, not too far from here you could say, I don¡¯t have family.¡± Yin said, with smile on his face not saying anything else. Everyone nodded, ¡°So why you guys decided to be ice martial artists?¡± Yin asked them. Purk spoke first, ¡°Well for me it¡¯s because our family have always been water martial artists for long time, so it¡¯s kind of become a tradition. I don¡¯t mind being Ice Martial artist either, I think it¡¯s pretty cool, the way I can make ice spikes on my body.¡± Purk said, and then ice spikes started appearing on his body. When Yin saw this his eye¡¯s bulged out, ¡°Woah! Hey you gonna teach me, this right ? right? hehehe.¡± Yin said while laughing. ¡°This is quite easy! look all you need to do is¡­¡± Purk got into it explaining in detail, all complex Yin¡¯s head started going dizzy. ¡°Got it?¡± Purk asked as he smiled. Yin looked at him, ¡°Ah! yeah, yeah of course! haha¡­¡± He laughed awkwardly. Even though Yin made some of his own techniques, but every single technique is extremely different from each other and works in different aspects. It was also close range technique while Yin only made mid and long range techniques. Also Yin was no genius either, he think¡¯s fast, but he usually acts on instinct. ¡°How about you guys ?¡± Yin asked Jakob and Zen. ¡°We just like, ice in general that¡¯s all¡­¡± Jakob said as he looked at Zen. Yin nodded and then some question came to his mind, ¡°Hey can you tell me what are those Olympians exactly?¡± Everyone looked at each other, realizing that he hasn¡¯t finished reading the book. ¡°It is quite simple, Olympians are those who have managed to breakthrough nine ranks of cultivation and achieve immortality. They cannot age, and their power is at the peak. I already told you the first three ranks, let me tell you another six. Fourth rank is Dantian Compression, In this rank one needs to compress his dantian, which gives one more explosive use of Qi. Rank five is dantian splitting, during this rank one needs to split his dantian in two, making two even smaller dantians, making so that if one dantian is destroyed you can recover because you have another one. Rank six is Qi solidifying, what happens during this stage is that you solidify your Qi increasing it¡¯s volume and quality greatly. Rank seven is Dantian Enforcement, during which you make your dantians thicker, making one able to hold more Qi and harder to destroy. Rank Eight is Soul formation, during this stage your soul takes shape it usually takes a shape of the weapon you are wielding, It¡¯s quite random actually. Rank Nine is world Mysteries no one quite knows what one means by that, there is just way too little Olympians, and they obviously doesn¡¯t want to share their secrets. When Rank nine surpassed one becomes Olympian.¡± Jakob spoke non stop, he was excited talking about this, after all Olympians is someone of unimaginable power. ¡®Amazing¡­ To know that something like this actually exists¡­ He never imagines of such things being possible.¡¯ ¡°My goal is to become Olympian and eliminate all the demons!¡± Jakob spoke passionately, even though he knew that his chances are less than one percent. Yin looked at Jakob confused, ¡°What demons?¡± He asked looking at Jakob seriously. Purk, got angry as he smacked Yin on his head, ¡°You fool you don¡¯t even know what are demons! Why are you even trying to become strong! You fool!¡± Purk smacked Yin again in rage, but Zen and Jakob stopped him, ¡°Purk, we live in the upper most corner of the world how do you expect him to know! he was just simple mortal a week ago too!¡± They calmed Purk down. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Sighing Zen spoke, ¡°Demons are species who attacked humans half a million years ago. Because of this we almost went extinct, but because of couple of heroes we managed regain half of the world and so since then we are constantly in war, without anyone being able to get upper hand. Mostly because demons multiply faster than rabbits, because of their supreme number we are never able to get the upper hand. All humans hate them, because of them billions of billions people died, because of them humanity have never been able to live peacefully.¡± ¡°.....¡± Yiin went quiet for some time, as few tears fell from his eyes. ¡°Demons?¡± he said quietly. ¡®Demons have been constantly killing people, and I barely trained¡­ What if the demons killed Akemi or Yuki, they killed innocent people! and for what! fuckers ! unforgivable¡­ unforgivable! and I actually was looking at training that is something fun¡­ When people were being killed because the strong couldn¡¯t protect them! Unforgivable! This people thinking is unforgivable! I should have killed everyone who tries living good and safe life! bunch of cowards, when their are suppose to fight for humanity, they are only hiding, but they are still not happy!¡± Yin went into complete rage. His eyes bloodshed, his veins popping out, his pupils shrunk, he looked extremely scary, lifting his head he spoke, ¡°Demons? Demons¡­¡± Yin got up picking up his heavy sword he started walking outside. ¡°Whoa what¡¯s got into you?¡± Jakob spoke, but then Zen patted Jakob shaking his head, ¡°He might have done something that he regrets a lot¡­¡± Zen spoke. Going outside, Yin stood up, he didn¡¯t feel any pain anymore, the mental pain he felt is nothing compared to physical pain. ¡°I must start training, seriously.¡± Yin said as he started swinging his sword, tears falling from his eyes. ¡°For every piece of trash that I didn¡¯t kill I will swing my sword ten thousand times!¡± Yin spoke as he swung his sword. Physical training is always best when venting anger. When they saw that Yin started swinging his sword, they couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°This guy is really insane¡­ But at least he got some motivation, I can¡¯t imagine where he will go with this willpower¡­¡± ¡­. In a blink of an eye, next day came Yin was laying on the icy ground seemingly barely alive, suddenly light surrounded him, and two elderly men appeared in front of him. Yin felt his body being recovered and his senses repairing, he slowly stood up, stretching a bit, he felt a lot more vented and relieved than yesterday, his eyes regained its normal look, ¡®Aish I over did again, hahah I must have definitely went crazy from miserable life haha¡¯ He laughed inwardly. Yin bowed a bit, ¡°Hello elders.¡± One of the elders were Master Taku and the other was called Master Xu he was light deviner of high rank. ¡°This kid! Don¡¯t you know how to properly train! You are only damaging your body! Aish!¡± Master Taku said as he looked at Yin. Master Xu gave a laugh as he spoke, ¡°Don¡¯t be so angry, this give have great future, he only needs proper guidance!¡± Yin laughed awkwardly as he scratched his head, not saying anything. ¡°Kid let¡¯s go it¡¯s time for you to fuse with a dragon spirit.¡± Master Taku spoke. Hearing this Yin put on confused face, as he didn¡¯t know what it was. Seeing this elders couldn¡¯t help but get confused as well, not understanding why Yin was confused. ¡°Kid why are you confused didn¡¯t you read the book?¡± Master Taku spoke as he looked at Yin, one could see a vein popping out on his forehead. Yin laughed awkwardly, ¡°Well...haha¡± Master Taku smacked Yin on the back of his head as he grabbed Yin¡¯s hand, ¡°Aish! let¡¯s go I¡¯ll explain on the way.¡± The next moment they disappeared, in the air Master Taku spoke, ¡°Kid, fusing with dragon spirit means gaining a special ability of the dragon which you are going to fuse with. Dragon spirits are genuine dragons who were once alive but due to unknown reason all of them died, since their soul is much superior to that of us humans they were able to escape eternal death. Before they died they managed to create temples all over the world, which connects to all of them via these temples they can choose who they want to fuse with. But they are unable to speak as their souls are too weak, they can only give the people they fuse with their special ability, which is usually special kind of attack, but they are extremely powerful, some better some worse but they all have their speciality. We can all fuse with dragon soul once we reach rank two, the soul surrounds our dantian, and then fuses with it. If you die the dragon once again goes back to his resting place waiting to fuse with another person, one could say that they are immortal in a way.¡± Yin was completely astonished by these creatures called dragons, they must be beings above humans, if any of them can in a way escape death. ¡®I wonder what kind of dragon will I be able to fuse with¡­¡¯ Yin thought of this strange concept. As they were gliding through the air, the cold was disappearing while warmth appearing, trees and animals could be seen, smell of flowers flourished as fields of them came into the view. Soon a forest appeared which was covered by a fog, absolutely indistinguishable five meters into it. *whoosh* Yin and the two elders entered the forest piercing through the fog, soon the fog disappeared and a small temple appeared, the temple is seemingly made from marble. It had Dragons carved all over it, with small entrance to it, with a heptagram in the middle of it, with strange symbols all over it. ¡°We are here.¡± Master Taku spoke. Chapter 8-Dragon (Some dickhead rated my novel a 1, I don''t believe it''s is so crap >.> If you could guys rate it something that is really worth I would appreciate it a lot <3 x3 Chapter 8- Dragon. Yin looked at the Ancient Temple which had this suffocating feeling to it, seemingly forever existing. ¡®Amazing¡­¡¯ He thought as he started walking into the temple. When Yin saw the heptagram he was quite surprised seeing the complexity of it, all kind symbols and lines covered the whole heptagram this gave it an unexplainable feeling. Looking around the walls he could see carvings of all kinds of dragons, one without legs, one with wings, one big without wings and four legs, one with three heads and many more types. Getting almost hypnotized in the carvings, Master Xu coughed slightly snapping Yin out of it. ¡°Do you have questions?¡± Master Xu asked Yin. Yin laughed as he spoke, ¡°What is the heptagram in the middle?¡± ¡°This is dragon heptagram, with this one is able to connect to the souls of the dragons. It is an ancient heptagram of the highest level, and we are unable to understand it ourselves as it is lost in time.¡± Master Xu spoke, he had quite passionate eyes as the heptagram excited him. One could see that Master Xu liked heptagrams and might be even studying it himself. Yin nodded and said, ¡°What about the carvings on the walls?¡± ¡°It represents some of the ancient dragons that existed long ago, the carvings appeared together with the temples. In actuality the the temples are made from extremely strong material and only strong experts would be able to destroy them.¡± Yin was quite astonished when he heard this, material that only strong experts would be able to destroy? what kind of material would that be... ¡°Are you ready to start?¡± Master Xu spoke with slight smile on his face. Yin thought for a moment, making sure nothing is amiss, calmly answered, ¡°Yes we can start.¡± Yin was actually quite surprised, full of expectation and anticipation of what is about to happen. ¡°Good, then please take meditative position in the middle of the dragons heptagram, clear your mind, the dragons will give you a test. On how you pass it depends on you.¡± Master Taku spoke as he looked at Yin carefully. ¡®Alright, let¡¯s see what test will they give me.¡¯ Yin sat down calmly breathing in equal rhythm, slowly he fell into a trance. As soon as Yin fell into the trance, the heptagram lighted up and Yin could feel his head go light and as if he felt as if he was going somewhere. ¡°It started.¡± Elder Xu said while he was looking at Yin. Elder Taku didn¡¯t say nothing and only nodded, closely watching Yin. **** ¡®Whoa what¡¯s going on?¡¯ Yin thought as everything went black and he suddenly appeared, on a bed. ¡®huh I got shorter ?¡¯ Yin thought as he looked around and then a woman entered his room. The woman had long brown hair, green eyes she was dressed in noble clothes, but she had a motherly warmth coming from her and not even a single bit arrogance came from her. ¡°Yin, wake up it¡¯s time for breakfast!¡± The woman said, with smile on her face. Yin seeing her couldn¡¯t help but be shocked, ¡°Mom?¡± He spoke out loud for some reason. His heart beating, fast he didn¡¯t know what was going on. ¡°Yes, what is it?¡± She asked curiously, ¡°Let¡¯s go eat, or it will get cold!¡± Yin¡¯s mom spoke and went back. Yin was currently in deep thought he didn¡¯t understand, ¡°Was it all a dream?¡± he quickly thought as he dressed up looking around his room but he couldn¡¯t understand why it had noble things everywhere. Going out of his room he could smell food coming from downstairs, not waiting he came down, and saw his mother and father sitting waiting for him to start eating. Yin''s father had black short hair and green eyes, he was quite skinny, but looking healthy. Suddenly Yin¡¯s tears started falling as he went into tears, ¡°Mom, dad?¡± Yin spoke with deep meaning in those words. He was completely lost. In truth Yin never actually hated his parents who threw him away, he hated the people who made their parents give up on him. His parents got beaten up, thrown out of their jobs and acted upon with disgust. It was never Yin¡¯s parents fault that they thrown him away. When Yin¡¯s parents saw Yin being like this, they both stood up going next to him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± They asked as Yin¡¯s mother hugged Yin. ¡®Was everything just a dream?¡¯ Yin kept asking himself as he slowly calmed down. Looking at his parents they seemingly haven¡¯t changed at all and they are completely the same. ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡­¡± Yin answered, with smile on his face. They simply had breakfast together, Yin still confused, but extremely happy. ¡°Okay Yin let¡¯s go to school.¡± Yin¡¯s mother spoke. Yin smiled, he was excited. He was back to being five years old, his first day in school should be today. He never went to school before so he was extremely excited. ¡°Bye dad see you later!¡± Yin said as he went outside with Yin¡¯s mother it was extremely cold, but bearable. Unexpectedly Yin could feel the cold too as he started shivering, he felt as if he never felt cold before. Going outside and walking on the main street he was in the small town, which is made of nobles mostly. He himself was a noble before him being after all. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. While walking Yin could see some other kids his age going to the school, for some reason he felt deep hatred for them as in his dream he was beaten up by them many times. As he was walking with his mother towards his school, on the side of his eyes he suddenly noticed a commoner being beaten up by a three noble kids. His anger welled up in him as he went into a rage, he tried to use his freezing technique, but then ancient sound came from his head. ¡°If you use your powers, you never be able to live peaceful and normal life again. Ignore the kid and live peaceful life with your parents. Didn¡¯t you always wanted to live normal and quiet life, falling in love having and having kids. Making your own family just like everyone else?¡± The ancient voice was deep and muscular. ¡®Peaceful, normal life? ignore the kid?¡¯ Yin thought as he looked at the kid that is being beaten up at this moment. ¡®Indeed, I always wanted to live peaceful life and loveful life.¡¯ Yin thought as he turned his head looking towards his school, his eyes moisturized and two tears flew down his cheeks falling on the snow. Yin then looked at his mother, ¡°Mother I really love you so don¡¯t hate me.¡± As Yin said these words suddenly cold spread out from his body and and in a seemingly split of a second everything around him froze. ¡°Tell me how can I have peaceful and loveful life when there is so much evil existing in this world?¡± Yin asked out as he looked at the sky. ¡°How can I just ignore, innocent and kind hearted people being killed! The strong should overlook the weak, and the weak should be looked after the strong! That is how the world should be! Trashes like you who think such life is better in quiet and peace, and ignoring the wrong things that is happening in the world should just die!!!!! Fighting for your beliefs and never giving in never giving up, never looking down on the weak. This the true way of life!¡± Yin shouted, as he already breakthrough the illusion. Currently Yin was standing in black space forever on going. Suddenly, ear breaking roar sounded out as in the black space next Yin appeared a dragon the size of seemingly million kilometres long the width of a kilometer, it was floating in the air, like snake wiggling. It was all red with black scales, it¡¯s head had two devil like horns mouth the shape of a dog and eyes that of a cat''s the dragon''s eyes green. It had ancient and extremely strong aura to it, it had the aura of a ruler someone who isn¡¯t suppose to be part of the world, someone who seemingly shouldn¡¯t exist. ¡°Kid, you have extraordinary will power, you managed to break my illusion. You are worthy of being my soul carrier.¡± The ancient dragon spoke with terrifying ruling voice. Looking at the dragon Yin was quite grateful that the dragon let him see his parents which was deep inside his soul. Yin has decided that one day he will go search for his parents, hoping they will still be alive. Yin then started speaking, ¡°Who says that you are worthy being my dragon?¡± Yin chuckled looking at the dragon straight in the eyes he didn¡¯t care about it¡¯s ruling aura. Hearing this the dragon was completely stunned, looking at Yin he thought he misheard what Yin said. One could almost see a vein popping out on the dragon''s forehead. ¡°Kid what did you say? I think I misheard you hah¡± The dragon spoke in seriously giving small laugh at the end. Yin chuckled as he repeated, ¡°I said, why do you think you are worthy being my dragon?¡± Looking dragon straight in the eyes. The dragon went into complete rage, as seemingly even the Temple that Yin was currently in shook slightly. ¡°You shit human! Who do you think you are talking to! I am one of the twelve dragon gods, Livyathan ¡°! I once ruled over the world and you speak with me like this! Foul mouthed kid! You are lucky that I already chose you, or else I would do anything to kill you!¡± The dragon spoke looking at Yin with rage. Looking at the dragon, Yin spoke, ¡°I don¡¯t see how you are worthy of being my dragon. You better have some good technique!¡± The dragon started laughing, ¡°Very well, you stupid immortal forget about the technique!¡± as the dragon disappeared, Yin could feel something surrounding his Ice King planet. He felt as irresistible force surrounded his Ice King planet and it started fusing with it. In just few more seconds the fusion was over, and a Yin heard a voice in his head. ¡°Kid from now I¡¯ll be sticking with you! I need to discipline brat like you!¡± The Livyathan spoke. Suddenly Yin regained his consciousness as the trance was over, opening his eyes he thought, ¡®But weren¡¯t the dragons suppose to be unable to talk ?¡¯ Suddenly in his head he could hear a voice, ¡°Who do you think I am! I am the great dragon god Livyathan my soul is much stronger than other dragons of course I can talk!¡± Yin was surprised for a moment, but he then spoke, ¡°So what¡¯s your special ability ?¡± Yin asked in anticipation, ¡°Hmph kid you ain¡¯t getting no special ability! you need to be disciplined first!¡± Yin was completely shocked, ¡°What do you mean disciplined? Look at yourself a dead *cough*god some shit dragon*cough Livyathan telling me I need to disciplined! what a joke!¡± Yin was enraged as he spoke. The elders seeing Yin open his eyes spoke out, ¡°Ah great! you were very fast! so what kind of dragon chose you?¡± Hearing the elders, Yin got angry as he said, ¡°Hmph I got some disabled dragon he seemingly doesn¡¯t have any special ability.¡± On purpose insulting Livyathan as well. Livyathan sneered as he heard this, ¡°Kid you just watch when you have to fight against other dragon ability users. hmph, hmph!¡± Livyathan was obviously butt hurt. The elders were completely shocked the never heard about dragon who has no special ability! ,¡± How can this be? all of the dragons transfer you the knowledge of the special technique to your mind when they fuse with your dantian, how can a dragon be without special ability ?¡± The two elders shocked looked at Yin, without dragon ability one will be at an extreme disadvantage during battle after all the are the highest level techniques. Chapter 9-Ice Fort Chapter 9- Ice Fort Master Taku and Master Xu were quite concerned for Yin, having a dragon without ability is really something to be concerned about, the whole future of Yin will be much tougher if he won¡¯t have a dragon ability. They sighed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry maybe there is something that happened, you might have gotten some special ability¡­ You just don¡¯t know of it yet.¡± Master Xu spoke wanting to console Yin. ¡°Don¡¯t worry elders, I don¡¯t need a dragon ability, I can do it myself, those dragons are extremely haughty!¡± Yin said, he really didn¡¯t like the way that dragon treated him. ¡°Alright, do not worry about it for now let¡¯s just go back, today we will start training.¡± Master Taku spoke calmly. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be leaving as well, since there is no more troubles.¡± Mastur Xu spoke, Master Taku and Yin nodded and Master Xu disappeared. ¡°Let¡¯s go as well.¡± Master Taku said, as he took Yin on his shoulder, and both of them disappeared. Yin was really amazed by Master Taku¡¯s speed he moved much faster than Master Xu. ¡°Elder, can I ask what rank are you?¡± Yin asked, he had big respect for the elder. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you today during training.¡± Master Taku spoke. Yin nodded not asking anymore, ¡®Hey dragon, why are you so haughty?¡¯ Yin asked the haughty dragon honestly, he knew that there is no way to get rid of him. He should befriend him at least. ¡°Kid, it¡¯s because of you humans that we dragons are now in such a miserable form. We should be superior to you humans, but look now we are nothing more, but play toys.¡± Livyathan spoke. Yin was angered, ¡°No wonder you got killed, acting so haughty.¡± He spoke to him, but the dragon didn¡¯t answer anymore. ¡­. In just a moment Yin and Master Taku arrived back at the Blizzard Basin. ¡°Kid get ready and get to the training grounds, today''s training will start in ten minutes.¡± Master Taku said as he disappeared, leaving Yin next to his house. Yin nodded, as entered the house seeing that the guys were out, he came to conclusion that they were out training. ¡°I guess it¡¯s finally starting.¡± Yin said as he took of to the training grounds. Training grounds are made of, practice matches area, training dummies area, body building, obstacles training area and elemental training area. Besides normal ranks there is also Physical ranks which is basically divided into ten levels, it¡¯s said that in order to become olympian one¡¯s body has to be level three so that the body could hold the Qi. But that¡¯s only for martial artists, deviners on other hand doesn¡¯t need physical power to hold magical Qi in your head where magical core exists. For this reason martial artists spends a lot of time on the physical training and they usually don¡¯t try to surpass level three of physical power as they better spend time cultivating. At the same time when one absorbs the Yin and Yang Qi some of it goes to the body which strengthens it just slightly, while the rest goes to the dantian where it is transformed into elemental Qi. Entering the training grounds at this time Yin could see bunch of people, running, lifting rocks, kicking and punching dummies, practicing and showing of techniques. It was eye catching and absolutely amazing, ¡®These people are real warriors, all of them tries their best, for one or another reason, but they are pushing their limits.¡¯ Yin thought as a flashback came to his mind. ¡­.. ¡°Come one Kid stop fucking around and swing that axe!¡± A bald tough looking very old man said as he looked at Yin. At this time Yin was barely eleven years old, he looked so skinny half to death, one couldn¡¯t see much muscles on his body, nor much fat. His eyes is lifeless, without hope or emotion, barely lifting small axe he chopped at the tree leaving just small mark. The old man sighed as he looked at Yin, ¡®This kids eyes...He looks dead inside, just as much as outside,¡¯,¡±Kid come here I still have some food, get few bites.¡± The old man said. Yin looked at the old man as he lifelessly walked next to the old man, ¡°If you help me, you will die¡­¡± Yin said looking at him. ¡°Shut up kid, I already lived my life. You¡­ You still have whole life in front of you, you should never give up kid. Remember these words kid if you ever give up, what is there to live for? If you want to really die than you have your axe, what are you waiting for! You could have died long ago if you really wanted it.¡± The old man said as he gave Yin a piece of meat. Yin couldn¡¯t understand himself why he is still trying to live. His life is probably as miserable as it gets, the only people that would help him is those who gave up on their lives. Because of painful loss of every person that helped him he slowly started to reject all the feelings, he started to become less and less emotional. For some reason every time he was about to die, he would want to live very strongly in the end surviving. ¡°Kid do you have a dream?¡± The old man asked seeing Yin eating the meat slowly. Hearing this Yin fell into deep thought, ¡®Dream?¡¯ Yin asked himself. ¡°What is having a dream means?¡± Yin asked the old man, staring at the him curiously. The old man sighed, ¡°Something that you want to do, something you want to achieve.¡± Yin thought deeply before long he answered, seemingly some liveliness was back to his eyes, some passion could be heard from his voice, ¡°Sir, what I want is to protect people that I love and never get them hurt! Sir I really want to protect those who help me. Be. Because everyone I care about always leaves me.... because I am so useless¡­¡± The old man laughed, he had big smile on his face, ¡°Then stop giving up, if you want to protect those you care about you must first be strong yourself! How do you think one becomes strong? Kid when I was young and joined army, I was weakest in the whole army¡­ But I never gave up, kid I never gave up, when I face enemies, I didn¡¯t run from them, I fought them till the last drop of my blood. This is the reason I survived every single time, I managed to become the general, because I never gave up kid,¡± The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.¡­.. The old man¡¯s words startled him. The words of that old man stuck in his head and till this very day he didn¡¯t know why he can¡¯t forget them, but neither did he want to forget them. ¡°Hey, Yin!¡± Suddenly sound came from the left side of his, turning his head he saw Purk running towards him like a tank. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Yin said as he walked towards Purk. ¡°I am sorry for yesterday man¡­¡± Purk said looking at Yin. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t need to worry, I would have been angry as well in your situation,¡± Yin answered as he shook his head, patting Purk, ¡°so where is the training going to happen?¡± Yin asked looking at Purk curiously, it¡¯s his first time in the training area after all. ¡°Ah it usually starts in the middle of the training grounds there is big flat land there where we usually all come together and train. The elders would give us advices on training, and sometimes answer question, sometimes would give advices. The elders would also show us some techniques which we would need to learn.¡± Purk spoke while they were walking. Yin nodded as he spoke, ¡°What techniques do the elders teach?¡± Yin was quite curious. Purk smiled, ¡°hehe, he would teach us movement techniques, fighting techniques, body strengthening techniques, sense strengthening techniques and such, but we are not allowed to use weapons for now. They say that before we learn to wield a weapon we should learn to fight with our bare fists and legs, because if in battle you lose your weapon somehow and you don¡¯t know how to fight with fists, it¡¯s certain death. Ah also that¡¯s not the only reason! Second reason is because weapons are usually advantageous only at low ranks, higher ranks doesn¡¯t matter if one wields weapon while the other doesn¡¯t. Our master always says that, this world is extremely mysterious and so there is some unimaginable techniques, he told us a story once. It was about some girl who appeared three forty thousand years ago. She had an unimaginable strength and speed, the legend say that she didn¡¯t even use elemental techniques and just by relying on her own body she would beat anyone. And she was only martial artist user that too, she could beat any King at the same rank, not even talking about only deviners or only martial artists. Unfortunately, the ruler of demons killed her before she was able to rise in strength¡­¡± Yin¡¯s blood went cold after hearing this; relying only on her body she could beat anyone at her rank¡­ Anger swelled up in Yin, that demon ruler must be really despicable, he was afraid that she will beat him, so he eliminated her, truly extremely despicable¡­ Suddenly Livyathan spoke out, ¡°Damn that demon ruler¡­¡± His tone extremely angry. ¡®What about the demon ruler?¡¯ Yin asked out surprised. ¡®What do you care kid? *tch*¡¯ Livyathan spoke out angry. Yin gave a hmph and didn¡¯t speak with that rude bastard. In just a moment Yin and Purk arrived next to a big flat area which was covered in grunt. Currently many people of around Yin¡¯s age were talking and displaying some techniques. ¡°Brother Yin, Brother Purk!¡± A shout came from the front as they saw Jakob and Zen nearing them, Jakob waving his hand, big smile on his face. Seeing Yin healthy and well he said, ¡°Brother you alright? Your body recovery is really amazing!¡± Jakob said, looking up and down. ¡°I am alright, Elder Xu helped me to heal up. hehe¡± Yin laughed as he scratched the back of his head. ¡°Whoa elder xu came here just to heal you? you must be something special eh. hehe teach me your secrets hehe¡± Jakob laughed evilly as he poked Yin few times. Suddenly a crackling sound came as an elder landed in the middle of the training grounds powerfully. Sending some of the disciples flying, after the wave came ice spikes which grew from the ground instantly. Everyone took few steps back as they were looking at the person, they sighed as they were already use to this. ¡°Hello students today are going to learn this technique today. First lesson of understanding its power should already be clear to you.¡± it was none other but Master Taku. It looked as if this method was quite cruel, but effective one could see that the elder is taking his lessons seriously. Yin was flabbergasted, spikes went melemeters past the heads of the students. The technique is obviously instantaneous, and close ranged. Yin was quite flabbergasted by this technique and in no way he saw it as an ordinary technique ¡°Disciples, you must all remember that our clan is considerably new, but nonetheless most powerful in ice techniques. Since long ago when an Ice King Qin Ban established our Clan, we have kept his secrets in our clan and no one can compare with us in terms of Ice techniques. But just because we have strong techniques it doesn¡¯t mean you will be strong! Technique is not about the technique it¡¯s about how the user applies it in the battle! Technique without user is just pile of shit I tell you, and technique used badly is even worse! Every technique that we teach have stages! Applying principles, showing the principles, connecting the principles to one¡¯s self and Joining the principles with the world and oneself. Remember some of you will never be able to reach the highest stage of these techniques if you waste your time on changing the techniques constantly and choosing one that does not suit your personality. If you cannot connect the technique to one¡¯s self how you expect to reach higher stage? You simply can¡¯t. But! Remember mastering the technique is not always important, because every technique is useful and mastering it only makes it stronger.¡± Master Taku spoke as a true master, his knowledge exceeds the students by leaps and bounds. He spoke honestly and without hint of waiver, the words were extremely intimidating and had the aura that they are unchanging. ¡°Yin listen carefully Master Taku knows his stuff for sure.¡± Purk spoke in agreement to elders words. Yin nodded as he listened carefully. ¡°The technique, which I just demonstrated is called Ice fort. The name of this technique resembles the name, as it makes a fort out of ice spikes, but of course what I demonstrated is only first rank of this skill. In total this technique has seven ranks, each has four levels of understanding, nonetheless first rank is hardest to master.¡±
