《Tearing Sky》


 Introduction

    Chapter 0 Introduction


    The way of the wuxia is as follows you are either born with an affinity for the way of the warrior or the way of the magician it doesn¡¯t matter in which way you reach immortal hood.


    The warrior as the name suggest raises its abilities in close combat relaying on his body strength always on the frontlines. He steels his body and mind always prepared for the next battle. Their training speed is way faster compared to Magicians as he doesn¡¯t rely on overcomplicated magic and because he doesn¡¯t need to be able to manipulate Spiritual energy his actions are quick and deadly. Even though he doesn¡¯t really needs it everyone is in possession of a small amount it correlates to the amount of BattleChi roughly 1:100 same principle is in use for magicians as well. For protection he relays on his BattleChi which can at the 9. Rank is harder than steel and more durable than the toughest leather.


    In opposition are the Magicians always in the back bombarding the enemy or healing the warriors. Magicians are basically made for support even though they are in possession of overpowering and destructive spells which cannot be blocked by physical means. Their attacks need considerable amounts of time to prepare and cannot cast instantly unlike the techniques of the warriors with their trained bodies. To cast their spells they control spiritual energy even though the amount of their spiritual energy can exceed that of warriors by a thousand times their BattleChi is weak and cannot be used for protection.


    BattleChi or Chi is a formless energy which everybody has it resides within the meridian which sits behind your belly button, the Meridian distributes chi to all the Chichannel¡¯s, and the Chichannel¡¯s are like valves that regulate the chi in your body. There is also the spiritual power which is used by magicians instead of BattleChi, SpiritualEnergy is some sort of life energy much like BattleChi but in contrast to BattleChi which needs to be produced by the body spiritual energy is floating in the surroundings and is only absorbed and accumulated near the soul in the Head.


    The power levels which Warriors and Magicians follow are from the First to the Ninth Rank.


    First to Fifth are common Power levels in which either SpiritualEnergy or BattleChi exist in a very loose Gas like state within the Meridian. To reach the Fifth Rank someone doesn¡¯t need an extraordinary amount of talent diligent training/studying is sufficient. At this stage the protection of BattleChi equals that of very though Leather.


    From the Fifth Rank onwards it gets tricky for a Warrior because the Sixth Rank marks the first real Boundary, in order to reach the Sixth rank you need to compress the BattleChi inside of the Meridian into a liquid and while compressing the BattleChi you always need to actively manage the amount which gets compressed at any one moment too much and you get seriously hurt too less and you need to begin from scratch this procedure puts your body under great stress and pain and if failed will in the best case seriously injure you and by far not all warriors are capable to perform this very complicated act while under constant Pain it helps greatly when said warrior is in control of his SpiritualEnergy. Upon successfully reaching the Sixth Rank your physical power raises greatly by approximately 10 to 20 times. As well as the durability of your BattleChi, which at this point reaches the durability of common iron.


    For a Magician the Sixth rank is only slightly more difficult to reach than the Fifth Rank but the Seventh Rank in comparison to the Warrior for which is not difficult is a huge boundary, the Spiritual Energy in his head is until this point very impure and only amounts to a miniscule amount, to advance to the Seventh Rank the Magician needs to purify the Spiritual energy. Inside the Soul of every living being is a Flame and is called Heavenly Flame so stronger this said flame is so faster the purification goes but for people with a weak Heavenly flame it isn¡¯t rare for them to die of old age before successfully purifying their Spiritual Energy.


    Upon reaching the Seventh Rank the spiritual energy inside their heads form in a liquid which encloses the soul at this point the Spiritual Energy can be used to search for living beings in a small radius around the magician, the radius grows in relation to the amount of spiritual energy surrounding the soul. Spells up to the 5 rank can now be Instacasted with just a thought but cost slightly more spiritual energy as if casted regularly. Spiritual energy can now also be used to make people with weak souls feel dizzy. A Magician at the Sevenths Rank is more powerful than a warrior at the Seventh Rank because even though a warrior if close enough can easily take him out, a magician can attack the warrior with his spiritual energy to impact greatly the reaction time while casting his spells to keep a distance and also because he can cast Fifth Ranking spells instantly he can rather easily obstruct the way of an warrior and this is the reason why a magician is in most cases stronger than a warrior.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    The Eight Rank is for both Warriors and Magicians not that Hard to reach Power levels approximately double.


    The Ninth Rank marks a very difficult Boundary because the warrior needs to again compress the BattleChi in his meridian to a semi solid state similar to liquid Metal, to achieve that a warrior needs to be able to manipulate Spiritual energy in order to manage this rather large amount of BattleChi but for a warrior its extremely difficult to even in the first place feel Spiritual Energy but in contrary to the sixth rank if the warrior is able to feel Spiritual Energy and is able to control it, the process is rather peaceful and not painful at all. Because of that High difficulty not many warrior are able to advance from the Eighth to the Ninth Rank. At the Ninth Rank the perception and reaction speed of warriors reaches superhuman levels a Ninth ranking warrior is easily able to grab multiple arrows from all direction out of the air even with a blindfold put on by sensing the disturbance in the air. He can toss a 500 kilogram boulder around like a child would a marble. His speed exceeds 100 Mph on long distances. And in short burst can even triple that. And thanks to the increase of purity in his spiritual energy which equals an seventh ranking magician he can sense all live around him in a radius of a few dozen meters.


    Above the Ninth rank is only the way of the Shanxia with their Heavenly Saints, Deity¡¯s and Gods.

    My Name is Siegfried I am an immortal, I live currently here on this small blue planet called earth and even though I am quite busy with training and research, recently I developed the urge to teach and pass on my skills and knowledge to someone. I will probably choose one of the natives here on this planet even though they are quite primitive and a bit violent they are smart and curious people.


    I originally came from a planet 30 times the size of the earth population of roughly 20 billion people orbited by about 10 moons. Gravity on my original planet is about 5 times more than earth this caused my people to be all much stronger than the people here on earth. My planet is highly developed we colonized almost all of our solar system. We are a Nation of martial artists strengths is honoured even though we love to fight we are not violent all fights only happen if both parties consent to it. But I¡¯m not here because I want to think about my home planet im researching solar systems far away from my home planet. All what I know about my home planet is probably wrong because the last visit I made there was over 300 Thousand years ago.

 Chapter 1 , In the Beginning 1

    Chapter 1:  In the Beginning 1


    Thug: ?Stop!!! Little Bastard!¡±


    Two shady looking  men are charging after me, im only 12 years old and my stamina is almost depleted and I never was someone who liked to exercise anyway but now I wished I would have trained more. My breathing is very rough I can¡¯t feel my legs anymore if this gets on I might just collapse on the spot, they chased me already for more than ten kilometres, the forests gets denser and denser because of the dense vegetation it gets almost completely dark as if it where night. The trees are obviously very ancient around here but it¡¯s no wonder I fled in the old forbidden forest, where it¡¯s said that monsters who steal your soul live.


    The eerie feeling is overwhelming it almost feels like a monster could lurk behind every tree. That fear is not completely baseless because in this world exist beasts whom evolved from normal animals into more ferocious variants mostly in places where it¡¯s said the SpiritualEnergie is extraordinary dense. And as my already bad situation dictates im in a place with the probably densest possible SpiritualEnergy you can find. To the Forbidden forest its said that somewhere in the centre of the forest lives an Immortal with immeasurable power and I heard in the Tavern a talk between adventurers who seemed to call the Forbidden Forest¡± Immortals Forest¡±. But that¡¯s just hearsay and nobody actually knows if that¡¯s true or not.


    ¡°Man, How come this little brat has so much stamina im almost out of breath he is like a monkey.¡±


    ¡°If you have the energy to whine about how hard it is, run faster!¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem this child can hold on much longer so hold on you fat Idiot¡±


    Aaaaa I can¡¯t run anymore they will get me and when they get me they will certainly kill me or something even worse.


    They are only ten meters behind me.


    Shit what should I do?


    I don¡¯t want to end up as a slave.


    Being a slave, means basically the end of your life with a free will from forth on you are only mere property if you don¡¯t behave yourself or are not of use they can end your life anytime.


    And that¡¯s something I will avoid at any cost. But the only problem now is I somehow need to find a method to save my sister and my mother and I will try everything to stop them from taking my sister as a slave.


    How did it come to this?


    Before I was forced to flee I led a rather peaceful life it had it merits but it also had it demerits but all in all I was quite happy. I come out of a rather Poor Family I was born and raised as the son of a maid and a Tailor but because my father was mostly drunk instead of working our financial situation was never that great to begin with. I grew up in a small rural city Called Austrey with at most 600 Citizens mostly Farmers some of them Hunters as well as a Blacksmith and a tiny Magic shop led by an old friendly Lady. The Blacksmith was led by a huge fellow called Steff who had a son which I hated; we always beat at each other whenever we meet. The Hunters where only met either being drunk in the Tavern called Laughing Boar or selling their meat to the Butcher or the Pelts and Hides to the Tannery. I met often with children of the town to play together. On such a day I came home earlier because I got bored, but as I saw my Mother crying and then my father lying on the ground I thought at the beginning he was so drunk that he couldn¡¯t stand and fell over but that couldn¡¯t be why should my mother cry then, then I realized there was blood underneath him. My Face turned instantly ashen.  I was Frantic and ran over: ¡°What happened?¡± I screamed.


    My mother said they took my sister. I shouted ¡°Who?¡±


    She then explained the loan sharks who we had a dept. with where sending people to size the money but because we had none so they tried to take my sister as my father saw that, he attacked them to stop them but by doing so he was stabbed by a sword in the chest.


    This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    I instantly decided to save my sister I was always extremely stubborn and once I set my mind on something I won¡¯t budge no matter what.


    As my mother was still crying I hugged her and said in a somewhat calm voice:¡± Don¡¯t worry I will save sister. Where did they go please tell me?¡±


    Mother looked perplexed at me and frantically said:¡± You must not go you can¡¯t save your sister I heard they have a warrior of the Fourth Rank backing them up. You could never flee from him.¡±


    I was surprised and shocked even though I like to listen to the stories of the various adventurers that come to our town. And they have seen and done many fantastic things. But almost none of them were ever above the Third Rank. You need to understand that this city of Aubrey is rather small and even the major of the town only has a warrior of the Fifth Rank as his personal guardian. So to hear that some shady bandits have a Fourth Ranked warrior in their ranks is quite shocking they must planning something bigger than the money they need to pay for a single Fourth Ranking warrior is equal to a small fortune enough for a normal family to live almost a year off of it, they could buy 10-20 First and Second Ranking Mercenaries instead of one Fourth Ranking one.


    But nonetheless even if they would have had an Sixth ranking warrior in their Ranks I would still go if I would lose my little sister to some tugs and knowing they would abuse her without me doing anything that would be worse than Torture to me.


    I begged my Mother:¡± Please tell me! I will go any way even if you don¡¯t tell me but please help me so I can find her faster.¡±


    Tears where running down my mother¡¯s cheeks as she said:¡± You stubborn idiot if you die I will never forgive you! Do you hear me?¡±


    She knew how stubborn I was if I said I would go no matter what the only way for her to stop me would if she where to knock me out and bind me to a chair.


    She silently nodded then she pointed towards the road that leads into the outer part of the Forbidden forest. I said:¡± Please take care of Father he might be a douche but at least I give him credit for protecting my sister even if he failed as usual.¡±


    ¡°Sigh, He wasn¡¯t always like this in his younger days he was quiet reliable but you are exactly as hot headed as he was as I met him. I only hope you will come home unharmed.¡± Mother said with a painful ache in her heart.


    I pretended to not hear her as I turned and began to run. Even I was worried I was absolutely not certain that I will survive this.


    I started to run as fast as I could down the road, if im lucky I get a chance to save my sister before they meet up with this mysterious expert of the Fourth rank.


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

    Next Chapter</a>                              Overview</a>

 Chapter 1: In the Beginning 2

    I ran through the city gates out of the city and followed the street for almost 3 hours.


    How far they are ahead, I can only hope they stayed on the road and didn¡¯t take some hidden path.


    The city was surrounded by lush and green grassy meadows for several kilometres in every direction.


    The road I was currently running down was directly leading towards the forbidden forest that was ridden with bloodthirsty bandits.


    No sane person without protection and some bodyguards would go alone into this forest not even by day. After I ran an hour more until I saw the first trees appearing I suddenly heard a disgusting laughter some distance down the road behind a small rolling hill to the right side of the road.


    There was a big old oak tree on top of the hill with some bushes beside, perfect for hiding.


    I sneaked to the top of the small and hid behind the tree inside a bush. And then I saw two men one was skinny tall with red hair he was extremely skinny almost as if he had some sickness. He was also wearing simple and shabby clothes they were torn and patched up countless times everywhere.


    The other was not as tall as him but not short either he also had red hair his cloth looked similar at first glance they both just look like the typical bandit. They were the type of people if you see them on the street you would unconsciously be disgusted and automatically try to avoid them as much as possible.


    ¡°Fuah, Im tired this child is heavier than I thought. ¡°


    ¡°Geez, if you would exercise more then you wouldn¡¯t be so fat and have more stamina.¡±


    ¡°Hah, says the one who looks like a dry bean stalk.¡±


    As I was listening I saw a brown cloth bag that was wiggling. ¡°That must be my sister!¡± Suddenly one of the two tugs kicked the cloth bag and said.


    ¡°Tchh, Hold still you brat I will kick you again if you don¡¯t hold still!¡±


    As I heard my sister sobbing unknown anger was welling up within me enough to make me instantly barf 10 litres of blood.* My fists began to hurt as I was urging myself to not storm in and try to beat them up. I swore to myself I definitely will let them pay for this.


    *(Something out of Chinese culture about being extremely angry disturbs your chi and causes you to barf blood something like this im no expert im not sure if this is right but I read that somewhere a while ago.)


    ¡°Good thing the guards where stupid enough to believe us as we told them we had a dog in this bag.¡±


    ¡°Yes that¡¯s true but im still wondering it was going a bit too smooth shouldn¡¯t they not have asked a few more questions?¡±


    ¡°Maybe the guards were also our boss¡¯s men would at least explain why we got trough so easily?¡±


    A shiver running down the skinny bandit¡¯s neck he said.


    ¡°True, if you think about it our boss really is scary!¡±


    Even the Fucking guards where involved with this criminal who kidnapped and hurt my sister my sister like this just because of money.


    ¡°Hey Harvey? Why don¡¯t we let her run on her own instead off tying her up?¡±


    ?Are you stupid? Do you even think before you talk? Two shabby dudes with a little girl with handcuffs behind them if this isn¡¯t considered suspicious then I wouldn¡¯t know what else. Trever, sometimes I really can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re my brother!¡±


    ?Don¡¯t be so harsh too me.¡±


    ?Enough, we need to go we still have more than 2 days of travelling ahead of us if we were too late this Jeffrey will literally rip our heads off!¡±


    ?Too bad that we aren¡¯t allowed to hurt or touch her I would really like to play with her a bit. He he¡±


    ¡±¡­..Really now? This girl is maybe only 8.¡±


    ?Yes that¡¯s exactly what I mean I like it when they squirm and cry.¡±


    ¡±¡­¡­¡­. Do me a favour and never tell me something like this again or I might just stab you to death the next time even for the fact that you are my brother, for the good of the world!¡±


    I gritted my teeth at the words of the fat guy, ¡°The fat one is just disgusting, I swear by the gods, I will definitely let him pay for even thinking about touching my sister that way!¡±


    They stood up and began to pack their stuff together I thought now it¡¯s not good I need to wait for a chance when the two are separated then I will knock both out one after another. After all im not as weak as I look!


    I followed them the whole day always a hundred meters behind them hiding in bushes and behind trees, my heart always racing at the thought that they notice me because then im screwed.


    I played hide and seek before with friends but this was totally different this was no game one mistake and my sisters and or my life is forfeit. From time to time I heard my sister pleading and crying every time I heard that my rage began to boil anew and every time that happened I swore again I will save her.


    As it was getting dark we already were at the borderline to the outskirts of the forest before we arrive at the the inner parts where usually bandits, thieves and the like lure about it will probably still take us about half a day.


    From the whole day hiding and cowering on the cold and damp earth im shivering and im rather exhausted. I also am afraid of the forest one false step and some wild boar or even worse will find you and tear you apart. I know it¡¯s dangerous but what should I do, I can¡¯t let my sister be taken by them. I hope soon one of them will make a mistake so I can take action.


    I¡¯m getting nervous because the whole day this two where sticking together as if glued together.


    ¡°Phew, we will rest here for the night.¡±


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    ¡°You get firewood I will make sure no wild animals are near us.¡±


    As the skinny bandit said that the fat one was without saying a word walking to a nearby patch of trees to collect some firewood accidently it was also the spot I was hiding at.


    I was relieved and couldn¡¯t help it as I whispered ?finally¡± while I was covering under a bush and as I saw the fat bastard coming towards me I got down on my stomach and tried not to move or make a sound otherwise he might notice me and then all my preparations would have been for naught.


    I heard him mumbling stuff and coming directly towards me I thought ¡°What is this bastard doing here there is no firewood around here.¡±


    As I was lying on my belly beneath the bush the fat tug came near and stopped before the bush and as he seemingly stares at me my heart begins to race as if it would jump out of my ribcage. My thought was ?hit, He knows im here im fucked!¡± As im about to run he suddenly begins to pull down his pants and I realize what he is about to do and think ?No not really this isn¡¯t true now.¡± This disgusting bastard really does begin to pee on me. I really need all my self-control not to stand up and run. I feel nauseated as I stop my urge to barf.


    ¡°Hey!! What takes you so long to get wood it gets cold hurry up.¡±


    ¡°Yes Yes I needed to take a piss don¡¯t make so much stress.¡±


    As he began to pull up his pants, I thought now or never. I began to slowly crawl out of the bush drenched and angrier as I ever was in my life. He walked a bit deeper into the forest and picked sticks and twigs up along the way. I in the meantime had already found and grabbed a piece of root nearby. ¡°I think this will be enough to put this fat bastard to sleep for a while.¡±


    I sneaked behind him and with all strength I could muster bashed his head. ¡°Thump¡± He collapsed on the spot the white in his eyes visible. My only thought was ?You are lucky that I don¡¯t have enough time to properly deal with you.¡±


    The other guy noticed something was wrong.


    ¡°Hey what¡¯s up everything ok?¡±


    I hurriedly pull his hands in an effort to bring him out of sight as good as possible.


    As the fat guy didn¡¯t answer he hurriedly stood up and with speedy steps coming to the position he knew the fat guy was before.


    Im hiding behind a tree I see him coming over. I ready myself as he walks past the tree I hide in that moment I jump behind him my trusty root already in the air I swing in a downwards motion with all the force my body is able to muster, aiming at the back of his head.


    In a split second somehow the tug registered that something was wrong turned around and I hit his nose with full force. ¡±SHIT¡± Even though I hit his nose it was still a square hit and made considerable damage he staggering back while falling on his ass was witness enough. But I know this is not enough.


    I charge at him as fast as possible I raise my club like root again and aim at his face. As I already revealed myself he himself is not stupid he knew he has no chance to get timely back on his feet before I will hit him.


    He ducked to the side and instead his face this time I hit his shoulder I heard bone cracking and as he began to scream I was sure if this goes on I will win. He glared at me with enough anger that would scare the usual me to death but not now my blood was boiling my head was light my heart was dancing as if it wanted to free itself from the clutches of my chest. As weird as it was I don¡¯t feel even a bit of fear, is this they call bloodlust? I never experienced something like this before and im liking it.


    With a somewhat evil smile I again ready myself for an attack the tall tug is still stunned because of his broken shoulder as he sees that I was about to attack him again in that moment he, in an effort to protect his face, guards with his only working arm. I mercilessly beat at him again and again and again until I finally realize I killed him!


    Suddenly my hands loose grip and I let go of my club like root and realize I just took a life even if it is a despicable life it still is a life it felt like it struck me with a force enough to cave in my chest. I fell on my knees and tears began to roll down my cheeks. I cant believe that i''m able to do something like this i really need to be careful in the future.


    I took everything together on strength I still had left and somewhat swaying walked over to their camp as I saw the cloth bag I knew I saved my sister I undid the cord and opened the bag. There I saw my sister lying in there unconscious.


    She was somewhat pale but she was breathing I took her into my arms and said ¡°Hey sis wake up its me.¡± as she actually opened her eyes she looked and began to cry and sob.


    Holding her to comfort her I said. ¡°It¡¯s ok! Its over I will bring you home to mom and dad.¡±


    Hi I know it took me a lot longer than promised but I couldn¡¯t help it this whole chapter was not planned or at least much, much shorter I just began to write and as I wrote I felt the need to fill all the holes and so this probably only half site big passage turned into a chapter on its own. And the story I already wrote was pushed back considerable.


    I hope you all like it comment and give me a review I really would be happy about it.
