《A Failure's hopeful Journey》


 Heart-to-Heart.

    Heart-to-Heart.


    Hello, my dear readers.


    Today, I would like to talk to you all regarding this story. The origin of this story is inspired by my own life. I came to you today to ask that you all please share your valuable feedback so I can make this story better.


    We all have some dreams which we could not pursue because of various reasons, but some people among us get second chances to pursue their dreams even if it ister in life. For me, this dream was to be a book writer. In theter stages of my education, I could not pursue it because I had some circumstances, but during that period I learned that if anyone is pursuing their dream, we can do it too.


    This story might be a web novel, but still, it is a novel; it is my first step towards my dream and I humbly request your support because I know I am not good enough to make it to my goals on my own. I have ws and believe me; I try my best to make up for them every single time.


    Please lend me your support. If anythinges up in your mind while you read this story, pleasement, regardless of negative or positive, I humbly seek your criticism, praise (If what I write is good enough), and support.


    Yours Sincerely,


    The Wordsmith.

 Chapter 1: The Journey Begins.

    Chapter 1: The Journey Begins.


    He woke up surrounded by mist and ss shards; he was confused as he looked around. Suddenly a voice rings out in his mind.


    [Master has now got possession of a new body. The system will startbining with old memories.] the system informed.


    You Xi Wang blurts out, "Who are you? Where am I? Hey!!!! Is anybody there?"


    [Master, rx a bit, you know, you''ll hyperventte even in the soul form.] the system answered.


    "Who are you?" he asked.


    [I am a piece of your soul which gained sentience when you were despising yourself for being a piss-ant failure and the world for being a mean bitch] the system replied with a mocking spirit.


    "WTF! Hey, what gave you the right to speak to me like that you shit bricks!!!" You Xi Wang was already confused and this mocking voice irritated him.


    [Since I am a part of your soul, I am you, idiot, stop abusing yourself and listen up. You are going to feel the pain now, but endure or you might die] system''s tone was filled with contempt.


    Saying this, the merger of memories started as You Xi Wang felt like being jabbed in his mind and he doubled over the misty floor and started rolling around.


    After 2 minutes, which for You Xi Wang equaled to 2 lifetimes, the pain stopped, and he stood up, shaking as his face was pale. He asked, "Say, how did Ie to this world?"


    [Finally, some decentnguage, well master since you despised that old world in your sleep and created me, I thought I should thank you by taking you out from there so we came to this world in the multiverse. I do not know where it is located so forgive me as I cannot provide any more details given my strength is not that high.] the system answered sarcastically.


    "But how did you decide we should take over this body?" You Xi Wang questioned.


    [The old owner of this body also had an emotional surge in his soul energy which resonated with me, so I came here hoping to see an entity just like myself, bound yet free, but unfortunately, the amount of energy was too low his soul shattered but couldn''t gain sentience as different parts. Thus, since we needed a body to start a new life, I took over this one.]


    "So, you mean to say I would have died as well if my soul energy was low when you came into existence that time?" You Xi Wang paled more when he thought about this.


    [In short, yes master, but luckily you had enough vigor. This process can only be done sessfully by rarest among the rare and is purely coincidental, so don''t guess too much and don''t ask too much as I cannot tell you, not as your pitying dumb brain will understand anyway.] You Xi Wang was mocked again.


    You Xi Wang stood there in silence, thinking about what he should do. In his old life, he was a 26-year-old guy who had a loving family, but he let his small achievement get to his head and when he realized what this, it was already toote, his parents had passed away and his brother became busy with his own life, leaving him alone and that''s how he started hating himself for being a loser who didn''t have the guts to try one more time and make it right until it was toote.


    You Xi Wang decided at this moment that he will try to stand up again. To reach the pinnacle of this world. He asked the system, "How do I get out of this mist?"


    [Close your eyes and loosen up master, you will wake up and all the best]


    You Xi Wang instinctively nodded as he listened to the instructions, he was a big lover of web novels where the protagonist will get a boon called system to help him be the big shot, and now that something simr happened to him, it made him somewhat excited and happy.


    ....


    After a few moments in SILICA CITY HOSPITAL, critical care unit ward number 006, in a piece of capsule-like medical monitoring equipment, in the room with white wallsy a lean boy with ck hair is known as You Xi Wang, he was 178 centimeters tall slightly muscr physique.


    His parents named him Xi Wang, which stands for hope in Mandarin. His father You Liangxin and mother Chen Limao were bothputer engineers and core formation realm practitioners, they had a sessful business and were reputable people who were honest and benevolent, but two weeks ago, when they were returning from a business meeting, their car had an ident and both of them passed away leaving only You Xi Wang and his sister You Zhichi, her name means to support in Mandarin.


    They were both loved but You Xi Wang being the youngest was pampered by everyone in the big You family, he was a humble boy, polite to everyone disregarding their status, but his parents were like his oxygen since birth he was never away from them even for a day, and when he heard they passed away in an ident, he fell into a shock and fainted, his sister rushed him to the hospital and stayed there until the doctor sent her away saying ''that her brother will only be more upset if he saw her in this condition''.


    A nurse wearing a sky blue and white knee-length one-piece uniform entered the ward to check on You Xi Wang''s condition. As she was looking at the monitor You Xi Wang slowly opened his eyes and the monitor beeped signaling the nurse, she pressed a button on the monitor and the capsule opened with a click.


    The nurse said to You Xi Wang "pleasey on the bed while the doctor responsible for youes over to perform some checks and I will inform your family toe,"


    You Xi Wang smiled at her and replied in a soft voice "thank you" and walked to the bed to lie down. The nurse had a slight tint on her fair cheeks as she noticed You Xi Wang''s sculpted features. In the capsule, he was wearing only shorts to cover his genitals, so she passed him a garb like a garment before leaving the room.


    A few minutester a woman wearing a white overcoat with a light pink shirt which had white flowers over it and blue jeans with a pair of sneakers matching her shirt entered the room. The woman had big sparkling hazel eyes, a small yet sharp nose, and petal-like lips with shoulder-length shiny dark brown hair and eyebrows as if created by a curved stroke of a paintbrush.


    You Xi Wang was shocked as he watched here near as she spoke with a smile on her face.


    "Finally awake, are we little one?"


    You Xi Wang pursed his lips and replied in annoyance, "I am not little." this was an instinctive response because he had just finished merging with memories of the other You Xi Wang and was still adapting.


    The woman chuckled and introduced herself, "Hello, I am Dr. Susan Watson, I''ll be looking after you. We will run some tests now and wait for your sister toe over, and if you clear the tests you get to go home, do you have questions?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "I will follow your instructions doctor, please lead the way,"


    As she turns with a satisfactory smile You Xi Wang ogles her ass which, despite the overcoat, looked tantalizing enough and walked out the room for his test

 Chapter 2: Meeting You Zhichi

    Chapter 2: Meeting You Zhichi


    Dr. Susan led You Xi Wang to the testing area. He looked around in fascination with this new world. The technology was so advanced that he started thinking he was living in the stone agepared to this ce.


    The patients had a mask on their face, but they were not connected to an oxygen supply, instead, these masks worked as air extractor and purifiers, they directly absorb oxygen from their surroundings. The patients were also not surrounded by beeping monitors, butid inside the capsule-like equipment simr to one You Xi Wang was in.


    Dr. Susan noticed this and was amused by his antics, but she ignoredmenting after all he was still a teenager. While a certain object didn''t have the same opinion as to her.


    [Master, will you die if you stop acting like a country bumpkin? Stop looking like a toddler going to watch the circus. Such an immature mentality I AM ASHAMED.] the system''s voice dragged You Xi Wang out of his dreand.


    He saw the amused smirk on Dr. Susan''s face; he looked down on the floor while walking straight, trying to avoid the embarrassment. That was when he realized that he got his ass handed to him by his own soul, a part of it.


    ''You... Stop being bossy okay, no matter how much you try you can never be the master, you exist because I gave you the power. So, shut up, it''s normal to be excited about new ces.''


    He tried to retort.


    [Yeah, yeah, whatever floats your boat loser]


    You Xi Wang was pissed and almost felt like cursing out loud, but he gave up after noticing his surroundings. He thought ''It''s okay, I am the superior one I should not quibble with a part of my soul''


    They reached the testing area where Dr. Susan took some samples and asked You Xi Wang to stand on a circr disk type equipment which was surrounded by two rings, the rings had some bulges on them at equal distance.


    "What do I do now?" asked You Xi Wang after standing on the disk, anxiously.


    "Nothing, just rx your breathing, and don''t worry, it''s safe," replied Dr. Susan with a faint smile.


    The machine buzzed, and the rings emitted redser light beams over You Xi Wang''s body and started floating up and down along his height in two different directions at the same time as if scanning him. You Xi Wang was fascinated by the principle behind this kind of tech.


    In 10 seconds, the machine stopped and You Xi Wang stepped down. While the doctor analyzed the screens next to the machine, which showed detailed information about his body via X-ray, MRI, CT-scan, etc.


    You Xi Wang had thought and couldn''t help but ask the doctor, "How do you perform checkups on people who can''t stand?"


    Dr. Susan giggled and replied, "It''s simple, we have other equipment for checking unconscious or critically ill patients." pointing at the machine across the room.


    You Xi Wang was embarrassed yet again [tch, idiot] snorted the system.


    Before You Xi Wang could retort, the doctor turned with a blissful smile on her face, which dazed You Xi Wang for a while and he thought ''she is so beautiful....'' he blushed slightly out of agitation while imaging Dr. Susan and he does illicit actions.


    "You are clear for discharge now little one... Eh? Why are your cheeks flushed, are you having any problems? But when I just checked, you seemed to be fine." Dr. Susan asked in rapid session, not knowing that this guy was having perverted thoughts regarding her.


    Subconsciously You Xi Wang blurted out, "No, I am fine, it''s just your smile that was so awesome it agitated me." He stopped and realized what he has done and was embarrassed yet again.


    Dr. Susan was surprised, but giggled after gaining herposure "Thank you for thepliment you are also the most dashing looking patient I have had in a long while."


    She continued, "Your sister is here, I have already notified the administration staff that you are clear to go home."


    She pondered for a while and with an amused smile, handed a card to You Xi Wang while saying "since you are my patient you can contact me if you feel any difort in an emergency."


    After You Xi Wang stood in a daze and said: "Thank you, I will definitely contact you."


    The doctor giggled and led him to his room where his sister waited for him.


    After two minutes, he entered the room, and the doctor left the siblings alone as she knew about their circumstances. You Xi Wang entered the room and looked around to find a slender figure looking at him with eyes slightly red and filled with concern, the figure was none other than his elder sister You Zhichi.


    She was wearing a white silk shirt and blue jeans paired with white sneakers, her long ck hair tied in a ponytail, she had almond-shaped obsidian ck eyes, dense yet sharp looking brows, a high cute looking nose, which had a slight pink tint, and a perfect pair of lips to make her look as if a celestial maiden has descended from the heavens.


    She rushed towards You Xi Wang but stopped and gazed at him from head to toe when she saw him looking fine. She could hold back her emotions as tears started falling from her eyes "Gougou, how are you feeling?" She asked You Xi Wang as she hugged him.


    Gougou, the nickname his mother and sister used to call him by. You Xi Wang felt warmth in his heart, something which he had been missing too much after his parents passed away in his past life and his brother left him alone.


    "I am fine now Chichi." He answered instinctively, and the system notified him [master don''t worry it''s because you have merged with the previous owner''s memories, you are him and he is you now.]


    You Xi Wang released and rxed while You Zhichi calmed herself. They separated, and she said, "let''s go home, okay, don''t worry big sis will be with you forever Gougou."


    It was at this moment You Xi Wang decided to put all his effort to make You Zhichi proud. This was the first time somebody other than his parents in his past life reassured him he will never be alone. Unknowingly tears dripped down his cheeks and he raised his hand towards You Zhichi as if trying to see if she exists in reality and said: "Thank you, big sis."


    You Zhichi felt warm as it was rare for her little brother to call her big sis as they always treated each other as friends and partners in crime.

    Chapter 3: Unknotting the ties of heart.


    You Xi Wang epted his new life after he met his sister and realized how much she cared about him. He also felt sorry for pretending to be You Xi Wang. He changed his clothes and headed out of the hospital; he didn''t forget to look around.


    After reaching the hospital entrance a middle-aged man in a professional suit came to greet them "wee back young master Xi Wang" this man was the butler and bodyguard to You Xi Wang''s predecessor You Xi Wang, his name is Robert McKenzie, a robust guy with a square face, a light scar mark over his right eyebrow splitting it into two parts, a broad jaw, he looked scary yet he emitted a sense of security for You siblings, ording to inherited memories You Xi Wang recalled that Robert has served in defense forces before.


    Although this world called Metropia has no country borders and is united by civilization, there are still toxic elements in the society that need to be dealt with by these defense forces.


    You Xi Wang looked at him with a poker face and replied: "thank you, Mr. Robert, I have troubled you all."


    "It''s not your fault, young master," Robert humbly said.


    Robert led them to a luxury looking maglev car. You Xi Wang looked at this car and was pleasantly surprised as he recalled people in his old world also worked on this vehicle. But we''re not as advanced in production as in this world. Every car was a maglev.


    '' What a beauty'' You Xi Wang thought as he watched the car.


    He turned to You Zhichi by his side and tugged at her sleeves. She turned to him, looking as he said, "Could you take me to see mom and dad? I haven''t said goodbye to them and my heart feels very heavy because of it."


    "Are you sure?" asked You Zhichi as she was worried that visiting the graves might affect her brother''s state of mind.


    "I will be fine, I need to see them and please Chichi trust me" You Xi Wang assured her with a faint smile and confident look on his face.


    "OK, I trust you, let''s go, " she gazed at him for a second and turned to Robert, who understood her motive and nodded.


    After they boarded the car, they traveled at a speed of 200 km per hour, what surprised You Xi Wang was not the speed, but that even at such a high speed the car was stable and there were no trafficplications.


    [Get used to it already for fucks sake you were 26 in your old life besides 16 years worth memorized and knowledge and experience in this life makes you elder to even Robert, master grow up please, I feel disgusted by your antics]


    This remark by system turned his mood sour, and he thought about it and epted the fact, but still retorted '' you dumbass system, even if I have the memories I have never experienced all this myself so shut that sewer of a mouth and let me experience this''


    [Oh, some logic. Okay, I''ll spare your puny self-esteem, but don''t you go being an idiot again or I might take over your consciousness]


    Like a lightning bolt hit him You Xi Wang sat up straight and alert ''what do you mean you are a part of mine you can''t have the power to do that. Tell me, do you have that power your bitch ass system'' yelled You Xi Wang in his mind?


    [I may do or I may not, you''ll know if you act like a newborn brat again.]


    The system answered in a warning tone. Well, the system does not have that skill, but it made You Xi Wang to be more alert.


    Well, he became a loser in his past life and developed this habit of cking off and ming himself so this way system ensured he changes his ways by bit.


    They reached the cemetery where his parents were buried. After alighting the vehicle You Xi Wang saw the entrance to the cemetery on top of which hung a que writing in bold yet soft characters {SILICA CITY CEMETERY}.


    The siblings entered and Robert followed them with a 5 step distance.


    You Zhichi looked at her brother and tapped his shoulder while saying "You are okay, right Gougou?"


    You Xi Wang didn''t smile or you can say he couldn''t but he looked at her with firm eyes and nodded. His sister heaved a sigh as she bought him to their parent''s grave mound.


    Two white gravestones made of white marble stood there with elegant engravings of plum trees and moonlitndscape.


    You Xi Wang smiled while You Zhichi asked, "Why are you smiling?"


    Without turning towards her he answered while his eyes locked on the gravestones, "Do you not know what these engravings depict?"


    She looked at them again in silence and after a while, tears formed in her eyes. She remembered her father would always use a phrase in Mandarin to describe her ''Yugung xi de y h'' which means ''jadeke under the moonlight.''


    She kneeled in front of her father''s grave, which depicted ake under the moonlight while You Xi Wang kneeled and kowtowed the graves. His mother''s gravestone depicted a plum tree with its leaves scattering in the wind. It represented You Xi Wang''s nickname, ''Gougou''.


    You Xi Wang looked at the gravestones and he prayed for the departed souls of his parents, both in this life and the old one.


    ''Mom, dad your son once gave up and became a loser but by the grace of your blessings I was given this second chance, I am forever grateful to both of you for giving me so much love and care, I will always remember you and will always be your son. Rest in peace''


    Unknowingly, he started shedding tears because in his past life he never offered his prayer to his deceased parents as he was not ready to let them go.


    ''Madam, sir, your son You Xi Wang gave me a second chance, although I may sound hypocritical his memories and feelings are now mine too, and I cannot exin, I felt the same way and right now it hurts me a lot and I don''t have enough words to exin this pain, but I will carry you within me, I will be stronger and I will make you proud. Rest in peace, mom and dad''


    By the end of this emotional prayer offering, he was weeping out loud, which made You Zhichi feel worried, and she took him in her embrace while patting his back.


    He wept for his ignorance and cowardice in his past life and the pain he felt in this life for the tragedy his predecessor faced, these tears also unknotted the ties in his heart. After a while, he came back to his senses.

 Chapter 4: The desire to get strong.

    Chapter 4: The desire to get strong.


    Aftering to his senses, he noticed You Zhichi looking at him with concern and he tried to calm her down by saying "I am fine now Chichi, let''s go home, let''s make mom and dad proud."


    You Zhichi nodded and took his hand and looked at the gravestones with a determined resolve in her eyes. They both turned and walked away with Robert following in tow. What they missed was that a holy light shed over both the graves and the silhouette of their parents emerged as they watched the sibling from a distance with a smile on their faces. They held each other''s hands and dispersed in light particles.


    ''No matter if you are my Gougou or not. I felt that your emotions were true, my child. Be strong to take care of your sister and Mom and dad will always love you'' an ethereal gentle voice filled with motherly love rang in You Xi Wang''s mind and he abruptly turned with misty eyes, to see the two silhouettes smile at him, You Zhichi also followed his action and was stunned but as she watched, he held her tears back and gripped her brother''s hand more firmly and smiled a little.


    Their parents were now resting in peace. They both bowed one more time and turned to leave. You Xi Wang thanked his parents for epting him, now was free from all the guilt, and can start a new and better life.


    His predecessor was considered a genius in studies, arts, and strategy, but had mediocre talent in cultivation. The reason was his spiritual energy pathways being narrower.


    He was thinking about how to be stronger as he recalled from his predecessor''s memories. There were 9 realms of cultivation, and every realm had 9 levels, respectively. The realms are namely:


    Body foundation.


    Spirit foundation


    Core formation


    Primal soul formation


    Nirvana rebirth


    Dao Formation


    Ascended mortal


    Dao physique


    Immortal ascension


    The most powerful beings in this world were the guardians of the council, these people were experts from ascending mortals to dao physique realms.


    In this world, everyone can cultivate, the talent may vary, but they could all cultivate. Cultivation starts from the age of 10 years as the body is too fragile to handle the stress of body formation practice. At 16 years, the Pathways arepletely set which decides the future limit of one''s martial attainments and what realm can they reach the highest. You Xi Wang was at the seventh level of body formation while some genius ones were already stepping in spirit formation. He kept gazing out of the car window in contemtion.


    ''System, is there any way to expand my spiritual pathways?'' since he couldn''te up with anything with his predecessor''s gained knowledge, he asked the system.


    [Yes, there is, but nothing is free in this world to think before you agree to it will be painful.] replied system.


    Without hesitation, he said ''yes''.


    [The soul energy will bear off a section of your spiritual pathways and then you absorb the energy in that section. This will continue for 24 hours for each section when you stuff the energy inside the soul energy will encase that section preventing it from the explosion by overstuffing. Remember, this process will be painful and there is no turning back. You may use your spiritual energy in this period, but that will only increase the pain, varying with the intensity of inflicting damage you will have to stay in the bed from forty-eight hours to a week.]


    After he heard it You Xi Wang thought for a bit and asked again, ''how much will it take to expand all of my pathways?''


    [Two weeks, even if you use the spiritual energy.] directly said the system.


    ''We start tonight'' answered You Xi Wang.


    [Ahan! Someone grew a pair. Finally, the burden of shame lessened a bit]


    ''You... Shut up'' yelled You Xi Wang in reply to the system''s teasing.


    [tch, loser]


    These two kept at it until You Zhichi interrupted him by saying with a smile, "We have reached home Gougou"


    You Xi Wang alighted the vehicle and looked at a magnificent mansion. The walls around the mansion were obsidian ck, made of ck marble blocks with titanium bars running through them. Titanium was also used in the spikes prodding out from the top of the wall. The mansionprised white marble and blue ceramic tiles on the roof. They may look normal, but every inch of this structure had carbon nanotube inside it as reinforcement.


    As he entered the main door, a prettydy with dark skin and along with all the staff came to greet them. "Wee home young master"


    Others also followed with the greeting. You Xi Wang smiled at them in acknowledgment as he gazed at everyone.


    After turning to thedy in the lead he said: "Thank you, sister Emily, I feel good to be back, thank you, everyone."


    Some cheered up, and some had some doubt in their eyes started going back to their work.


    You Xi Wang looked at You Zhichi and said, "Chichi, you get some rest it has been hard on you. The summer vacation is still only half-finished, I will help you with things starting tomorrow. You should focus on your studies and cultivation,"


    You Zhichi felt warm in her heart as she knew he was worried about her so not to make her little brother any more aggrieved than he already is, she agreed but not before saying "Gougou you need to take care of yourself as well okay. Promise me"


    He agreed and sent her to her room. He turned and saw Emily this time he properly checked her out.


    A ck and white maid dress just like in some anime he watched in his old life. It gave her a sexual appeal. Her hair tied to a hair band and let loose. Perky boobs and slim waist with fluffy looking big ass. Long stocking covered legs, her eyes deep ck matching her hair, thin but dense eyebrows, a slightly longer nose and fuller lips not too thick and not too thin.


    You Xi Wang was tempted to do something illicit, but suppressed his impulse and asked her to get him something to eat and bring it to his room. He turned around and left.


    Emily followed the orders and left to fetch him some food.


    After You Xi Wang entered his room, he stood there in a stupor and shocked to see the sight in front of him. There stood a floor to ceiling mirror. This entire time he has not seen his appearance and was shocked when he finally did. He walked closer to the mirror and looked at himself from head to toe from every angle, he had jet ck hair, abyss like deep ck eyes, sword-like eyebrows and chuckled ''someone is handsome, hahaha look at that I am a chick ma''


    [Master, you sound like a two dime worth hooligan. Chick ma? Spare me, for fuck''s sake. In this world, your looks only make you a gigolo if you don''t have the strength, so get stronger before being a narcissist or someone might break that pretty gigolo like face, you boy toy]


    Although he wanted to get stronger this remark made him even more determined, he was pissed off and said ''oh yeah? Says the one who got no face. You foggy entity keep floating in there in silence''


    He felt good because he heard a snort from the system, but no retort.

 Chapter 5: The change.

    Chapter 5: The change.


    After he was smug about his chiseled and handsome face, he looked around the room. There was a bookshelf filled with a lot of books rted toputer technology, strategy, business marketing, cultivation, and high school level sybus. Next to the bookshelf was a study table with amp ced on a corner. The table was neatly arranged, which made it look big even after a third of the table was upied by books and notes.


    The room also had a king-size bed, in one corner of the roomy a rack with a wooden bow, wooden sword, and a ck stone spear. You Xiwang liked to train and do everything perfectly, which was why he practiced them all. He was proficient with them.


    While he was checking out his room, he heard a knock on the door and said: e in".


    The door opened and Emily entered, holding a tray filled with snacks and a ss of juice. She walked up to the study table and ced it there. She turned and asked You Xi Wang "would there be anything else young master?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and replied, "Although there is nothing else can I talk to you sister Emily?"


    Emily smiled and replied, "As you wish young master, what would you like to talk about?"


    "Well, first, you take a seat and rx." He said as he gobbled down those cookies and juice.


    After Emily sat down on a cozy bean bag in the room, she looked at him and found his actions cute which caused a soft smile to surface on her face.


    "Sorry if I look ill-mannered but I have eaten nothing since I woke up, I am famished," You Xi Wang rubbed the back of his head.


    "I understand young master, you do not have to say anything. After Master and mistress passed away, we all felt hurt, but you were the most affected one. I only wish that you stay strong and you are not alone young master, you will surely be someone who stands on the peak of this world." consoled Emily in a soft voice.


    You Xi Wang was pleasantly surprised as he heard Emily consoling him and said "don''t worry sister Emily, I promised mom and dad I''ll be strong. But I want to ask you, are you and other staff members okay? Do you not want to go somewhere else to work? I mean me and Chichi are kids as we know little except studying and goofing around, " he has noticed that some staff members are not willing to work anymore, but they didn''t know how to say it, Emily is the head representative of the servant staff at the mansion, that''s why he asked her about it.


    Emily hesitated and bit down her lower lip while looking down. She did not expect to have her young master to notice this as soon as he returned home. She was surprised, but she also felt guilty. Looking at her You Xi Wang smiled, walked up to her, and crouched down in front of her, he held her chin up so she could see his eyes and he said in a soft voice, "You do not have to feel guilty sister Emily, it''s not your fault. I felt their difort when they greeted me even though it was not all of them still five out of twenty who gathered had a doubt lingering in their voices during the wee greeting. Now please tell me out of a hundred how many wants to leave? I swear on Chichi that I will not judge or find a w in them. Even if it''s you, I will ept it with a smile because leaving will make you guys feel happy and live the way you want."


    Even though he said all this by thest sentence, he felt sad and let go of her chin leave. As she saw this, Emily hastily reassured him, "No, young master, Emily was an orphan with no ce to call home, that day mistress picked up Emily from the slums, I was 10 yrs old, they gave me clothes, food, education and also cultivation resources, it is because of them I can live with my head held high. I will not leave even if you want me to, Mistress always said that I have liked her daughter and she treated me, and same for the others but I serve on my own. I will always be a part of this household, even in death."


    Suddenly she was shocked when she saw You Xi Wang hugging her tightly as he whispered in her ear softly, "I knew you won''t leave, sister Emily, thank you" a blush emerged on Emily''s face, although her skin tone was dusky it was very clear and soft, she looked very cute and her heartbeat was frantic because of the hug. You Xiwang immersed himself in enjoying the softness from those two mounds pressing against his chest.


    Waking up from her stupor, she felt how tight You Xi Wang was hugging her and spoke in a small voice, "This... this is... inappropriate young master, I... I.... am a maid." She felt her status was low and unworthy to be touched by him.


    You Xiwang backed away a bit and said, "No, I never saw you as a maid sister Emily, but if it bothers you, I might as well settle this" and abruptly he kissed her soft lips. Emily was shocked her heart was beating so fast as if it would jump out. Her eyes widened as she felt a bolt of lightning ran through her body. After a few moments when You Xi Wang didn''t give up, she responded clumsily as they sucked each other''s lower lip. Emily felt something soft against her lips and she opened her mouth slightly out of instinct, You Xi Wang''s tongue charged into the unknown and entangled around her soft pink tongue as saliva was exchanged among the two. The kiss went on for ten seconds and both of them parted.


    You Xi Wang held cupped her face in his palms and looked in her eyes, "I forgot to ask you, Emily, do you have a boyfriend or someone you like?"


    She shook her head as she tried to wrap her mind around what just happened. You Xiwang pecked her lips again and wrapped his arms around her petite waist as he spoke, "Starting this moment my heart will always have a ce which belongs to you and you only. Will you be mine, Emily? But before you answer I will say that I might have other women in the future but I will never neglect you. Also, I always liked you, it''s just today when I thought about you leaving did I realize your importance in my life." After this, he went silent and kept looking at her charmingly blushed face while holding her in his arms.


    After a while, Emily replied in a small buzzing like voice, "Yes, young master I am yours."


    You Xiwang kissed her again in happiness, but this time his hands were also moving all over her body which caused her to moan. After he was done coping with a feel of her perky breasts, he stopped and looked at her, "Call my big sis and all the staff in the main hall. Tell her, I am going to clean up our house".


    His tone was gentle yet dominating. Emily felt like an emperor was issuing his order and she saw him change as if he was a different person and she left swiftly to inform You Zhichi of his words.


    You Xiwang didn''t want any of those to stay in the house who are having doubts about the future.


    [Nicely done slick, while you were making out with that chick I have created a barrier and enforced the pathway. So for 24 hours you better not go humping or it might disrupt the energy flow] system notified him.


    ''Okay and thank you system'' replied You Xi Wang a bit bashfully as he was imagining ''humping''.


    [So why do you want to clean up] system asked and disrupted the imaginary Humper, the system didn''t know the motive behind You Xiwang''s actions?


    ''Only loyal people can help you and be stronger with you. I don''t have time to clear their doubts like a teacher. They want to go, they can go.'' he replied aftering back to reality.


    He entered the bathroom and took a quick shower and changed into a ck shirt and blue jeans with jet ck sneakers. It made him look dominating. Emily knocked and came in and saw him in his new attire and was dazed. She said, "Young master, young miss, and others are gathered as you asked."


    He smiled and nodded at her, "Emily am I handsome?"


    "Yes," she replied with a blush.


    Heughed and headed out after he pecked her cheek before heading out with her in tow.


    All that happened made Emily notice the change in You Xi Wang''s personality and aura. She was thrilled with this change.

 Chapter 6: Challenge for the throne.

    Chapter 6: Challenge for the throne.


    You Xi Wang entered the main hall with a stern face. The main hall had a ceiling height of 20 feet with two tinum and in the center a twice bigger jade chandelier making it look magnificent. Eight white marble pirs supporting it with azure dragons, red phoenixes, white tigers, and ck turtles engraved on each side of all the pirs.


    One ck, mahogany chair engraved with a mandarin symbol for You familyy beneath every pir. These chairs were chairs for 8 You family leaders, at the end of the hall of the wall which was depicting a mural of four auspicious beasts in all their splendor. Beneath this wally a ck, mahogany chair with a headrest thrice the size of other chairs. You symbol engraved on it, was golden.


    You Zhichi stood near the throne as their father was the leader of You family, the family had eight elders and their role was to advise the leader. All eight of them were seated in their chairs. They all had white hair and their faces had wrinkles while their eyes showing a variety of emotions. Some were upset, some were in anticipation. While the servants stood in the center with their heads held low.


    You Xi Wang walked up to the throne and looked at his sister and nodded at her. As You Zhichi rxed, he turned around and looked at everyone after he took a heavy breath he said: "I know as per the tradition of our family, we select the leader based on their merit and strength, therefore I stand here and wee everyone who would like to challenge me for the throne."


    All the elders were shocked while servants were in a stupor as they did not expect their young master to start the challenge of ascension.


    You Zhichi had color-drenched out of her face when she heard him, but when she was about to stop him You Xi Wang shook his head slightly without looking at her in assurance. She calmed down and stood at her position.


    An elder stood up and said in a heavy voice, "Do you know the importance of this challenge and the price you might have to pay if you fail?"


    " I know," calmly replied You Xiwang and took a pause and continued, "I am aware of my actions elders, please do not worry, I will follow the rules set by our ancestors, but before that, with your permission, I would like to settle a minor issue which came to my notice,"


    The elders gave their consent by nodding, and You Xi Wang nced at the servants, You family had 100 servants excluding the guards, he had a straight face and in a solemn voice, he said "I know some of you are unsure about the future of the family and are having doubts in your hearts, I don''t have time to console you all neither am I interested in it. The only thing I want is to have only those who are loyal to this family to be at ease and perform their duties with no doubts. I give you two choices and five minutes to consider one. The first choice, you swear to heavens that you will be forever loyal to You family and never harm or conspire against any member of the family in return I give you a future you can''t even dream of, the second choice take your stuff and one hundred gold credits along with your any due bnce and leave, also remember once you make that decision you will have no connection to You family and will have your memories rted to You family erased. Now choose,"


    He said his piece and fell silent. The servants thought, and thirty people bowed to him and left the hall. You Xi Wang nced at an elder in the third chair on his left and said, "Elder can I request you to please help me fulfill this task, erase their memories and give them the money we owe and send them away".


    The elder smiled and was satisfied with his humble attitude and left toplete the procedure. Then You Xi Wang nced at the people who did not leave and smiled, "Thank you for your trust I assure you that Your family will strive and reach the peak of this world summit. Now please make the oath to the heavens and go back to work,"


    One by one everyone of the servants made the oath and lightning shed in acknowledgment, after which they left back to their work.


    Now, seven elders and the siblings were left in the hall. You Xi Wang looked at the elders and said "Elders I know you might think my decision is hasty, but it has been two weeks since my parents left, the world may be peaceful but we don''t know what lies under the shadows and who is waiting to attack us. So I challenged. I hope you bear witness to this. Within half an hour anyone might issue a challenge to me in the family, and I will take it on,"


    The elders thought for a while and acknowledged his stance. After ten minutes, a youth of 20 years age walked into the main hall, he had sword-like brows and pointed chin, a broad torso he emitted aura which made others feel like he can destroy mountains he had dark ck eyes, and his long hair fell till his shoulders he was handsome but not enough to beat the godly looking You Xi Wang, his name was You Shanwang which meant the king of the mountains, he bowed to the elders. Then he looked at You Xi Wang and said "Cousin I don''t know if it''s the right time, but since you have started the challenge, I will ept it and if you can beat me, the family will acknowledge you as the new leader, we all know you have a good brain but we need to check your martial talent. I hope you understand."


    You Xi Wang heard him say this and smiled at his elder cousin. You family may not be the biggest family in SILICA CITY, but they were all very strong and united. You Xi Wang nodded "Big brother Shan Wang you are too humble, I know that being the youngest in the family I should not be iming the leadership, but as the son of You Liangxin and Chen Limao I have to continue their legacy. I ask for your advice."


    "Well said," eximed You Shan Wang and continued "Xiao Wang you have just returned from the hospital, let''s do this, tomorrow at 11 in the morning, what say? As for the bet in ascension duel, we bet pride and loyalty of You family if you win, you may send us all to our deaths and none shallin. What about you?"


    You Xi Wang thought for a bit and said with a smile, "Well, I have nothing other than my life so, besides that, I also bet the shares my mom left to me in Chen group. As you know my mom and aunty own majority of the shares in Chen Comtech. Will that do? ," Elders were shocked as they knew how much Chen family shares were worth.


    You Zhichi took a step forward and put a hand on her brother''s shoulder, "I bet mine too, both life and shares" another bomb was dropped and this time You Xi Wang was dumbstruck. He turned and said, "Chichi what are you doing? Take back those words." his words were filled with concern, he was anxious.


    His sister smiled at him and replied softly, "Bro, you are all that matters to me now, without you I won''t live and without life, what good are the shares if you love me then stop being a fuss and kick big brothers ass tomorrow," You Xi Wang saw his sister''s eyes were firm and strong as he nodded in defeat.


    "Hey, you two brats, I can hear you, you know. Kicking my ass won''t be easy, but yes, you can try your best Xiao Wang I would like to see you defeat me and as to give you a fair chance I''ll lower my cultivation to the peak of body formation from 5th level spirit formation. What do you say?" said You Shan Wang.


    "Then it''s settled. Elders, you are our witnesses as it was big brother Shanwang who proposed the restriction." You Xi Wang replied with glee.


    Elders nodded and gathered the whole family in the training ground in the morning and they left.


    The cousins bantered for a bit and then left to prepare. It was going to be a night before the new dawn in You family.

 Chapter 7: Preparations for the duel.

    Chapter 7: Preparations for the duel.


    You Xi Wang left the main hall as his sister caught up to him and asked him, "What were you thinking when you bet your life as if it was nothing? What am I supposed to do, if, something happened to you?" by the time she was done, her pretty eyes were misty as she looked at her brother with resentment.


    You Xi Wang stopped walking and turned to face his sister, he reached out his hand and wiped a tear which fell from her eyes, he felt so much affection, warmth, care and guilt when he so she worries over him like that, he said in a soft tone, "big sis.. Do you trust your bro? If you do then don''t worry about the duel, I will win and make our family strong, tomorrow when the duel is done you will feel proud of your bro," after this, he fell silent and kept holding her hand as she finally calmed down You Zhichi shook her head and said in aining tone, "Are you the older one or am I?" she paused and continued "I trust you and is always proud of you so fight with no burden in your heart whatever happens big sis will be by your side always." after saying this, she gave him a tight hug and left to her room to prepare for tomorrow''s duel.


    You Xi Wang made his way to his room, Emily was waiting for him, he smiled at her and asked her to follow him inside the room, a faint blush emerged on her dusky face, but before she could say anything her feet already moved and she ended up in the room, as she recalled the kiss she shared and the vow she made that blush deepened.


    "So Emily, what do you want to say?" asked You Xi Wang.


    "I... I.... just. wan.. Wanted to say... That I will also follow by your side if something unfortunate happens. Others may have made the oath of loyalty to the family, but my heart and soul serves only you," replied Emily after she mustered up every ounce of courage she had to speak in front of her beloved young master.


    You Xiwang smiled and took her in his embrace and said, whispered mischievously in her ear, "And what about your body ". Emily shivered as her mind ran various scenarios of her and her young master doing things that couples do behind closed doors. But You Xiwang''s voice brought her back to reality, "Don''t worry, I will not lose, I won''t die so easily." he kissed her after he finished speaking.


    She looked into his deep shiny ck eyes as she felt her heart feeling inside that deep abyss, after a few moments she focused back on reality and rested her head on his chest and said in a low voice, "Okay, I will trust you but still be careful young master," You Xi Wang nodded to her and caressed her back with a light hand.


    Emily looked up again and said, "Young master I need to go, I have a lot of work to do," she hesitated, biting her lip, but then she shocked You Xi Wang as if he has seen a ghost by saying, "I wille by at night if you want me to,"


    You Xiwang''s mind went nk and he coughed awkwardly "Say Emily how about we take it slowly, you know I have a duel tomorrow morning I need to be ready, plus I love you for who you are and not because I want sexual pleasure" he looked down at the ground as he felt awkward that a guy rejected such an amazing invitation but then he heard a sigh escaping from Emily and he looked up just to see a dazzling smile on her face.


    Emily replied while smiling, "I feel very lucky to have you as my beloved, young master. Thank you for all the love and care you have given me. I LOVE YOU, I WILL BE YOURS FOREVER" she made the promation of her love for him in a strong voice and kissed him while she wrapped her hands around his neck. After a quick make out, she left the room with a slight spring in her step.


    [Well, what have we got here, a cheesy hoodwinker from the earth, I feel bad for that innocent girl, she fell in my master''s clutches, oh god almighty, bless her soul] said system with mockery.


    ''Shut your trap you over-smart punk, you are a part of that cheesy hoodwinker from the earth. So zip it and get to work I need to get stronger so let''s get done with it.'' retorted You Xi Wang.


    [Even if you break through a level in a night, it won''t make much of a difference as your cultivation won''t be stable. So I suggest that you enhance your senses and reflexes, which will help you respond to his moves and you will be faster than you are.] system informed him.


    ''Then let''s do as you suggest, I just want to win fair and square, it doesn''t matter if I do it by being faster or stronger.'' said You Xi Wang as he sat crossed leg and started focusing his spiritual energy in his eyes, ears and muscles essential for movement.


    After an hour, he opened his eyes and realized a bit of improvement in his senses.


    [Pick up your spear, meditate with it in your hand and try to feel what a spear is andprehend it. Based on your memories you already have some enlightenment in the way of the spear and it''s the most helpful weapon for this fight] the system called out to him.


    You Xiwang followed the instruction word to word and after an entire day he opened his eyes, the sun has already set, it was about 9 at night and he got hungry. He made his way to the dining area to grab a quick bite. After he had his dinner, he took up a spear from inside his room and startedprehending the intent of the weapon.

 Chapter 8: The elder council and You Ziyou.

    Chapter 8: The elder council and You Ziyou.


    While You Xi Wang was preparing for the dual, inside a room of an old building in the estate of You family mansion, where usually the entrance was forbidden eight elders of You family were gathered and among them in the center sat an old man with his legs crossed and his eyes closed as if he wasn''t aware of their presence. The old man was wearing a white traditional Chinese robe, his long white hair falling on his back, his face was wrinkled yet his skin disyed the vigor and health of a young person, his brows were thick and looked domineering while the lower part of his face was covered with a shiny white beard, his hands were joined to form lotus mudra.


    "Old master, forgive us for the dy, but we havee bearing bad news, young master Liangxin and mistress Limao have passed away." after he finished saying all this the pressure in the room turned heavy, the old man opened his eyes, his gaze was like a brewing blizzard leaving everything frozen in its wake.


    "When, how and who?" the old man spoke only these four words, and the elders exined everything from when You Liangxin and Chen Limao passed away till how it happened but as to whom, they didn''t know. The old man''s eyes were red, his breathing was deep, he was trying to control his temper.


    "Any suspects?" he asked again. His voice was calm, but the chill it carried was ever more obvious. Some said it could be those people with whom You Liangxin and Chen Limao had a meeting that very day. The old man has reined his rage by then and shook his head in denial as he believed that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.


    He was informed about the challenge for the throne started by You Xi Wang and how he dismissed people who carried doubt in their hearts and how he also bounded every remaining servant to a heavenly oath. The old man was surprised as he had never expected You Xi Wang to be this smart and brave, yet he felt worried about his grandson and granddaughter betting their lives.


    He pondered for a while and said, "I am leaving seclusion for now. It has been a decade since I have looked after our family. Call every You family member back home by tomorrow morning, including You Naixin," the elders were excited when they heard this name.


    "Old master, are you sure?" asked third elder You Xianhui.


    Old master smiled bitterly and said, "Third brother if our beloved sister knew that her nephew and niece-inw have passed away while their kids are betting their lives as if some metro credits and we did not inform her, do you believe she will burn our beards and beats us till we go bald?" everyoneughed as they recalled how fiery temperament their sister had andughed out loud.


    "True that Xiao You"ughed the first elder You Qingda.


    The old master was the youngest yet the strongest among ten children of the older generation of, You family. His name was You Ziyou. After they talked about the status of the family, they all parted to perform their respected tasks and send invitations.


    While You Ziyou looked outside the window basking in the red glow of the sunset and muttered to himself, "You departed too soon my son, I hope you and Limo are in a better ce and rest in peace, I will see that no harmes to your kids even if it costs me my life." he heaved a sigh and the figure in his eyes dimmed a bit. He walked out of the room and headed towards You Xi Wang''s room.


    .....


    You Xi Wang was meditating, trying to gain insight in the way of the spear. The room was silent, and he sat down on the ground with the spear in hisp. Although Metropia had advanced technology and the weapons were also advanced as they had guns and bombs as well but it was a mandate to train in hand to handbat and traditional weapons the first weapon councillor of Metropia once stated that no matter how much the weaponry advances it will still be rooted to the traditional weapons used by mankind so those who can master the crudeness of traditional weapons can easily master modern weapons but without being too dependent on them.


    The air in the room started moving in straight stabbing kind patterns while sometimes it will swing sharply or move sideways, it was as if the wind itself has be a spear. You Ziyou snuck in the room and witnessed this phenomenon in a stupor, he knew that You Xi Wang had narrow spiritual pathways but hisprehension was heavenly, but this was shocking.

 Chapter 9: Emotional Morning.

    Chapter 9: Emotional Morning.


    The night passed away in a blink and You Xi Wang stayed immersed in his meditation. Early morning the day decided for duel Emily came and knocked on his door but got no reply, she waited and knocked again, but still got no reply, she felt worried, but she also couldn''t enter the room without permission as the doors had advanced locking system which needs a special authority to be opened without the upant''s permission. Emily rushed to call You Zhichi as she had the permission to enter You Xiwang''s room whenever she wanted.


    Emily reached You Zhichi''s room and knocked, instantly she heard a soft voice e in" as she entered the room she saw You Zhichi putting on her ck jacket. She was sporting knee-highced boots with white denim shirt, a white top underneath her ck jacket which she was zipping up to half oh its length. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and her petal-like lips had a lip gloss applied over while simple ruby studs adorned her ears giving a fiery vibe.


    She looked very cute and energetic in the attire, she turned to see the nervous and impatient looking Emily and asked in her soft bell-like voice sounding concerned "What happened Emily, are you okay?"


    Regardless of their statuses they grew up together and were very close like sisters because Chen Limao always strained the importance of good rtionships among children regardless of their status. So when alone, these two beauties were like sisters.


    "Zhichi I went to call young master out, but he did not reply, I waited but nothing happened. I feel a bit worried." Emily started her concern to her friend with no hesitation.


    "Ara, my dear sister-inw, you are already missing my brother only after one night? I need to find out what potion did that brat feed my best friend to be so head over heels for him." You Zhichi teased Emily causes a blush to emerge on thetter''s face who dashed out for a bit but came back when she remembered the intensity of the situation.


    "It''s nothing like that, you bimbo. He didn''t evene out for dinnerst night. I am worried that he is putting up a brave facade in front of us so we do not worry. You also know the shock, he suffered after master and mistress passed away and he just came back home after two weeks. What if it re-surfaced,e with me and let''s check on him?" retorted Emily and before You Zhichi could even say something she was dragged towards You Xi Wang''s room.


    On the way when she recalled the domineering change in her brother''s behavior, she also bes concerned with just a few moments they arrived in front of You Xi Wang''s room.


    You Zhichi pressed her palm against the door. But what they saw shook the depth of their souls, the walls had sh marks dragging along the floor and in the center of these marksy You Xi Wang with his eyes closed, his clothes were also in shreds and his palm was wrapped around the shaft of the spear tightly. You Zhichi was the first one who came out of the stupor and yelled "Gougou" as she ran to her brother hoping that he was alright. She picked him up in her arms and checked him up and down. He seemed to be alright. Emily came out of her stupor and tears started forming in her beautiful eyes, fearing that something bad happened to her beloved. She also lunged towards him, but what happened next almost made them cough up blood.


    You Zhichi took her brother in her embrace and she called out to him "Bro answer me, Bro please wake up" she heard a faint snoring sound. Both thedies looked at each other and fell silent. The snoring sound became more clear.


    You Zhichi wanted to p awake her brother, but when she saw how tight he was holding onto his spear, she understood how much effort her brother put in to win. She let out a bitter chuckle and sighed, "No matter how much your mind grows, you are still a teenager. You have worked hard. Take a rest for a little longer." she gently wiped the drool at the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of her jacket and carried him to his bed.


    She sat beside him as he unconsciously held her hand. She smiled as she gazed at him while stroking his hair gently. Emily watched in silence from the side. She knew that both the siblings have a lot on their tes right now and they needed each other more than anything. After a few minutes, Emily asked You Zhichi who was stroking her brother''s hair in a soft voice, "What will happen after you get married? Who will look after him like you?"


    You Zhichi looked at her and smiled softly and replied, "First, I will never get married. Second, You family gives full freedom to the members regarding rtionships, unlike other families. Third, he needs me to be there now that mom is gone, he thinks I don''t know why he is rushing to be strong, is it not because he wants nothing bad to happen to me. Is it not because he wants to protect me, Emily. You did not see how he wailed, when he visited mom and dad. He rarely calls me big sis, but since yesterday he has started calling me ''big sis'' more than just chichi. Plus my cultivation method, the maiden heart sutra, requires for me to stay unmarried, and yes, I knew it when I choose it."


    The room fell silent again and after a few more minutes You Xi Wang woke up sluggishly and looked at his sister and subconsciously sat up and rested his head on her shoulder and said in a kiddish voice, "I am hungry big sis Chichi, and also I want to visit mom and dad before the duel, I want to show them something" he snuggled against her shoulder, he liked this warm feeling of having a family after he came to this world, his sister patted his head and agreed to his wish to visit the graves of their parents.


    While Emily had rushed out as soon as she found out that he was hungry.


    "Bro, how did you make Emily agree to be your woman." teasingly asked You Zhichi.


    "Nothing much I just kissed her hard and told her my emotions for her and she agreed, but I rejected doing sex as I want to make our bond stronger first, " he replied while being half asleep, but when he realized who he said it all until he was jolted awake and pulled away from his sister while pouting a bit he said "Chichi you..... I hate you" and he quickly jumped up from the bed and ran into the bathroom to avoid the embarrassment while his sister was doubled over whileughing her heart out.


    After Emily returned, You Zhichi left the room to look at how the arrangements were going. After he freshened up You Xi Wang came out andined to Emily about how his sister teased him. Their rtionship was close so nothing was needed to be hidden. He flirted and teased Emily for a bit before picking up his spear and left with Robert to visit the grave of his parents.

 Chapter 10: The Duel begins.

    Chapter 10: The Duel begins.


    Robert and You Xi Wang arrived at the cemetery gate, You Xi Wang turned to Robert and said, "Robert you stay here I''ll be going in alone, Okay?" he didn''t wait for a reply and walked towards his parents'' grave. After he reached the two graves he wiped off the dust and cleaned the graves he kowtowed with no hurry as if he had all the time in the world.


    He looked up at the gravestones which were reflecting the sunlight and looked very spectacr and muttered, "Mom, Dad, remember when you guys left for the meeting I asked you toe back early as I wanted to show you my spear moves, well although it''ste and my moves are now different from earlier I would still like to show you. I hope you enjoy it."


    He stood up with his spear in his hand and gave a bow to his parents'' gravestone. After he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and started moving while his spear danced moving the wind along sharply, the wind some time shed and sometimes stabbed, this whole dance of windsted for twenty breaths. His dance ended, and the wind came to a halt as if it was never moved. You Xiwang opened his eyes and a small smile emerged on his face.


    He kowtowed again to the graves and said, "Okay, now I have a duel with big brother Shanwang and I need to win, so wish me luck mom, dad. Also, don''t worry about anything, all is under control. I willeter, wait for the good news, bye," he stood up with slightly misty eyes and walked away.


    He boarded the vehicle with Robert and headed home. Inside the cemetery, on the graves of his parents, a few words appeared as a breeze ran over them clearing the marble dust. The words were {Here lies, a loving father, a loyal husband and a great leader, You Liangxin. This is engraved by son You Xiwang and daughter You Zhichi.} and {Here lies a loving mother, a loyal wife and a gentle soul, Chen Limao. This is engraved by son You Xiwang and daughter You Zhichi.}


    While he was in the vehicle You Xi Wang was having a discussion with the system.


    ''Say, what do you think if this does not win, after all, he might also have his own trump cards.''


    [Well, while there is a possibility of that master, remember this family is united and given your young age what you have achieved won''t be a small thing, so he might not use his trump card.]


    ''System, suppose if he does, then what should I do to win?''


    [Then, in that case, you can create a disruption in his soul energy, don''t worry, it will act as thest line of defense in case we are about to die. But it might also leave him to end up like a vegetable forever. I don''t have perfect mastery in this.]


    ''Hmm, I think I''ll leave that emergency method to you just in case, but still try to control the output as much as you can.''


    [Yeah, yeah, just focus on your own shit, don''t teach your father how to make babies.]


    ''You piece of shit...'' and as usual the discussion ended in a quibble.


    The vehicle arrived at the main gate of You mansion, there were a lot of unknown vehicles parked, You Xi Wang turned to Robert in askance and Robert replied in a gentle voice, "Young master every neighboring family and influential council officials are invited whenever any family holds a leader selection duel,"


    His words enlightened You Xi Wang he wanted to have a detailed conversation, but he set it aside forter and focused his mind on the duel. There were only fifty minutes left before the duel will start. You Xiwang alighted the vehicle and headed to his bedroom with Robert in tow. After he reached his room, he said, "Robert, can you find big sis and ask her toe over, please?"


    Robert always liked his young master as he was always polite and respectful to his elders disregarding their status. He nodded and left toplete his task.


    You Xiwang entered his room and changed his white clothes into a ck buttoned-down shirt and denim jeans, he ripped the jeans at the knees with his pocket knife, it made the momentfortable. He wore a wrist band on his right wrist. It was the holo phone simr to mobile phones he used in his past but a bit too advanced.


    Just as he was wearing his ck sports sneakers You Zhichi entered the room and started nagging, "Bro, don''t tell me you are going to wear this for the duel, I know you dislike that bodysuit but it can guarantee your safety, right? Plus isn''t this too casual?" although she nagged him, she stillbed his hair softly with her fingers. You Xiwang smiled to his sister and replied, "Don''t worry big sis, I know what I am doing and you cannot always walk around in abat bodysuit right, who knows when might one get attacked? Chill and trust your brother okay. Let''s go I need your blessings for the duel plus I am nervous, you guys gathered a big crowd."


    His words brought a smile on You Zhichi''s jade-like face, making her even prettier and she replied, "You always have my blessings bro, but please be careful big brother Shanwang is very strong. Okay, let''s go to the training grounds. It''s about to start and I heard from the elders Granny Naixin will arrive shortly too."


    As kids, granny Naixin has always pampered both these kids too much as they were youngest in the family. The siblings made their way to the training ground holding each other''s hand and chatting happily, the guest and servants noticed them and were shocked to see how rxed they were as if it was a pic and not a life and death duel.


    Just before they could enter the training ground a mocking voice sounded behind them, "Isn''t that beautiful Zhichi and her nerdy brother, Tell me You Xi Wang are you going to defeat the opponent by lecturing them on physics?" the group of kids surrounding the person who spoke let out augh attracting everybody''s attention. The siblings stopped walking and turned to see anky guy with beady eyes like a snake smirking at them. This guy was You Xiwang''s ssmate and also third strongest in the ss She Congming.


    She Congming had beady eyes and triangr face, he was slim, but it felt as if he had no bones inside of him as if a snake had transformed into a human being


    You Zhichi was about to retort in anger, but she felt a tug on her sleeve held by her brother, this action was noticed by She Congming as he let out another jeer "Aww how cute, Baby Gougou hiding behind his sister. Say You Xi Wang were you scared of being alive that you started this challenge, dragging your sister with you. I could have fulfilled your death wish anytime you know."


    The reason She Congming was so hostile to You Xi Wang was that the strongest and the most beautiful belle of their ss always supported You Xi Wang over him. Although it was nothing like how he thought between them, but not everybody is gifted withmon sense and to think his parent named him Congming which means clever.


    You Xiwang smiled and waited for everyone to pay attention to them and when he saw people in were focusing on them, he took a step forward and said "If it isn''t the Young master of She n, I thought You were clever given your name but now you just proved to everybody that you are not. You know, you are in You family mansion and you just threatened the young master of You family. Dishonored the sacred ritual of ascension duel and its participants by that tent of yours. Also, not to forget about how you dared to address my big sister, the young miss of You family. All this in the presence of guest from various families and Metropia council officials."


    Without giving him a chance to retort You Xi Wang continued "I tugged at my sister''s sleeve because I didn''t want her to reply an idiot like you and also only someone like you who is only passing with marginal marks will die by lecturing. Such a pity." he had a slight smirk on his face. While She Congming was already pale-faced when he carefully thought about the intensity of You Xiwang''s usations. The group surrounding him had already taken a few steps back, leaving him to stand there alone under the scrutinizing gaze of the guests and elders.


    She Congming pointed at You Xiwang and said: "You... Don''t you.. Try to twist the facts, You Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang only chuckled and replied, "The elders can tell who said what and their intention or are you going to call them fools who can''t tell if I twisted the facts or not."


    Before She Congming could retort, You Xi Wang bowed towards the guests and said, "I have a duel to fight, enjoy your time in You family mansion and Young Master She, be careful not to spout any wrong words, some other people might not give a face to She family master."


    He turned around and left with his sister. Everyone who knew You Xi Wang in the past were shocked because they have always seen You Xi Wang being polite and humble, but today he retorted for the first time and the impact was strong. She Congming red at his back and scurried away. You family members and elders were very satisfied with what happened just now as they disliked She family.


    The siblings entered the training grounds. In the center stood a stone tform, guest pavilions were set up in the surrounding, it gave You Xi Wang a feeling of being in diators arena. The fact all this was set up in one night astonished him more.


    ''Well, isn''t the tech here too awesome.''


    [That''s something I can agree with.] system also agreed with him, which kind of surprised You Xi Wang but this sensation didn''tst long.


    [The tech can be ogled atter, focus and try not to get your ass handed to you.]


    You Xiwang didn''t react to him and sat on the chair in front of the tform and started meditating. You Zhichi sat next to him, guarding him. After a few minutes, the guests started filling inside the observation pavilions, and a figure appeared near You Xi Wang.


    You Zhichi was surprised as she didn''t notice the figure approaching them, she turned around vigntly and saw a woman looking to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a red robe with white lotuses embroidered on it, her ck hair held up in a bun with a Pheonix shaped hairpin, the face looked as if made up of jade, slender waist and fulfilling proportions, a sharp nose and almond-shaped eye with eyebrows as if wavingke and petal-like lips, she was a woman who looked like she came alive after the artistpleted his artwork, but to protect her from bad motives gave her face a pinpoint mole in her chin, it did not lessen her beauty instead enhanced it by hundred times, every man in the training ground was shocked to see her but then they heard "Granny Xin".


    They all woke up and realized they have been ogling the famousst shadow. They looked away. This woman was a legend in Silica city, she was the strongest cultivator who had surpassed the core formation realm, anyone who ever had ill intentions towards her family and loved ones and became her enemy died without even knowing what and who sent them to hell.


    You Zhichi stood up and hugged her, You Naixin smiled at her and hugged her back while softly stroked her head, while she said in a tone full of motherly love, "It''s been hard on you, my dear. I am sorry I was not here when all this happened, but worry not I am here now, no harm wille to you and Xiwang." she consoled you Zhichi as she noticed You Xi Wang meditating next to them. You Zhichi smiled and followed her gaze, she said, "It has been hard on him granny but he has grown a lot ever since he woke up froma" her words shocked You Naixin.


    You Naixin looked at her brothers standing a distance away, mingling with the guests and her face turned red from the anger she muttered, "These old coots how dare they not tell me all this soon and even hid the fact that Xiwang fell into aa. I am going to shave them bald after this duel,"


    Before You Zhichi could pacify her granny, You Ziyou appeared above the stone tform and spoke in a solemn voice "You family is grateful to all who witness this ceremonial duel, now wasting no one''s precious time I call upon both the contenders to step over the duel area so the duel can begin."


    You Shan Wang followed his words and appeared on the tform while You Xi Wang stood up and open his obsidian like deep eyes and stepped forward with a slight smile on his face.

 Chapter 11: Dance of the war god.

    Chapter 11: Dance of the war god.


    As You Xi Wang stood on the fighting stage, everybody felt odd. You Shanwang who stood opposite to him gazed at him from head to toe as well and smiled after a few moments of silence.


    "Xiao Wang still hates the ufortablebat suit?" he asked and left people bewildered.


    You Xiwang nodded heavily before he said "One cannot be wearing abat suit always right, big brother?" his answer was interesting for the guests and council officials.


    You Ziyou shook his head and spoke again "The duel will start now picking up the weapons of your choice from the rack" to make sure that the weapons are not overpowering, the people on the council made a rule that participants can only choose weapons avable in the duel arena itself.


    You Shanwang choose a four-foot-long two-handed broadsword while You Xi Wang chooses a seven-foot-tall spear. His thinking was clear ''one-inch longer one time stronger'' some people agreed with him while some gloated as they saw how strong his opponent was, You Shanwang''s strength overpowered You Xi Wang''s reach, but You Xi Wang didn''t care about what others thought.


    You Ziyou spoke as he saw them finish the selection "You Shan Wang will lower his cultivation to peak body formation realm for the duel." another wave of murmurs came forth, but subsided as fast as it came as people were more interested in the skills showcased by these two youngsters.


    You Ziyou came back from the stage and headed to where You Zhichi and You Naixin were sitting. His chair was ced right next to the empty throne. You Naixin scowled in a low voice, "You old bag of bones, first, you didn''t tell me about Liangxin and Limao, but you still had the guts to hide about Xiwang falling into aa. Let this duel finish and see how I will deal with nine old coots" her words made all You elders shiver in fear while You Zhichi and other kids of the house let out a giggle. Although You Naixin was always soft-hearted with the children of her family You Xi Wang was like a piece of her own heart and she felt sorry for her grandson who suffered so much when his parents left him forever, so she was like an angry tigress protecting her cub.


    ...


    On the stage, both You Shan Wang and You Xi Wang bowed slightly to the referee who was a council official as he stated the rules, "The duel will end when one of you cannot fight anymore, admit defeat, out of bound or is disqualified for breaking the rules set by the council of Metropia" as the referee saw both of them nod he also nodded after that both You Xi Wang and You Shan Wang looked at each other but this time they had no smile on their lips, only hunger for battle in their eyes, You Shan Wang was practically the strongest among You family offsprings under the age of twenty-five years old, but he was surprised for a while when he saw the will to battle in You Xi Wang''s eyes but he also knew despite being humble You Xi Wang was apetitive entity.


    You Xi Wang spread his legs and bent them outwards to lower his center of gravity, he closed his eyes and lifted his spear with both hands and pointed it diagonally towards You Shan Wang, while You Shan Wang held his broadsword with both hands towards his left, pointing it straight towards the sky.


    The atmosphere in the training ground suddenly turned tense and cold many people even wondered what was going on this was not something that should happen because of two youngsters, a figure appeared in the sky above, it was a woman wearing a white business suit with a ck shirt, her brown hair tied up in an elegant bun, her big brown eyes shined like sparkles, she had thin petal-like lips and a cute small nose while her brows were like unsheathed long swords, sharp yet slender, her figure was petite but her aura was stronger than even You Naixin herself. People in the arena didn''t make a noise because they recognized the Chen family insignia on the pocket of her coat, she was someone they didn''t dare offend, her name was Chen Qianbei, the current matriarch of the Chen family of Prestige capital state, she also had another identity, younger sister of Chen Limao, she was right now she was searching the training ground when she suddenly heard a sweet voice yelling, "here aunt bei."


    Chen Qianbei located the source of this yelling voice she smiled and slowly descended on the ground near her, she greeted everyone with a nod and hugged You Zhichi with tears in her eyes as You Zhichi hugged her also was sobbing but just before she could say anything she heard her aunt say, "We will talkter, right now let''s cheer Xi Wang" to which You Zhichi nodded, they both calmed down and broke apart but still holding hands.


    The referee said "Begin" and just as You Shan Wang was about to move he felt the wind suddenly turning sharp and stabbing at him, he saw You Xi Wang''s aura change like the wind in the arena, gathered around him, and when he looked in his eyes his heart sank as if stabbed by a spear.


    Everyone in the arena was shocked, some old guys had their eyes lit up as they shouted at the same time "Intent of spears" it was then when they realized how strong You Xi Wang was, they felt ashamed of jeering at him earlier.


    You Shan Wang smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, you sly brat. Come, let''s dance."


    You Xi Wang also giggled, "I learned from you big bro Shan Wang,e let''s dance."


    As they finished speaking they both moved forward simultaneously You Xi Wang was the first one toe in attacking range because of his spear reach, he thrust his spear forward and the wind gathered around the tip turning sharp as a de, You Shan Wang stopped in his tracks and parried the iing spear by swinging his sword from his side ''CLANG'' a sound was produced as both weapons collided. You Xi Wang was still two-level away from You Shan Wang''s suppressed strength, he felt his arms tremble after the collision and he took 2 steps back but instantly charged ahead when he noticed You Shan Wang''s posture as disturb for a moment, this time he thrust the spear forward but just as he saw You Shan Wang''s sword was about to touch the sharp wind around the tip he willed it to spin fast and again the same repulsion happened but this time one thrown off was You Shanwang.


    Everyone who watched this was shocked, pale becausepared to the two-step retreat of a seventh level body formation, a two-step retreat of a peak (ninth) body formation realm martial artist was too shocking and even if the strength is suppressed, it won''t affect the purity and stability of the energy. She Congming among the crowd was also shocked and was gritting his teeth while all the You family members were filled with pride and glee as they watched their youngest fighting equally with You Shan Wang. The happiest were fourdies You Naixin, You Zhichi, Chen Qiangei, and Emily.


    The two on the stage continued, but as more time flew by You Xi Wang''s disadvantages became more prominent. He was weaker. You Shan Wang shed his sword diagonally, but You Xi Wang dodged with all his speed, but he was still a tad bit slower and a wound appeared on his chest blood spilled out on the floor his face turned pale but there was no sound from him as he silently retreated.


    You Zhichi shouted "GOUGOU" in a loud voice and was about to rush up, but Chen Qiangei held her in her arms, shook her head with misty eyes. "Let me go, aunt, let me go" You Zhichi yelled but to no avail. Council had strict rules, whoever interferes in duels will be killed no questions asked.


    You Naixin consoled her, "Zhichi, calm down and believe in your brother. Look at his eyes, he has not given up just yet." and just as You Zhichi looked at her brother, she found him smiling faintly.


    You Xi Wang took a deep breath and calmed his heartbeat and said: "Big bro Shan Wang if you can take this move of mine and remain to stand, I will cut off my head in front of everyone."

 Chapter 12: Victory of the dragon.

    Chapter 12: Victory of the dragon.


    The whole arena was in shock after hearing these words from You Xi Wang. You family was now under tremendous stress as they never expected You Xi Wang to say something like this.


    You Zhichi, You Naixin, Chen Qianbei and Emily had no color on their faces, but before they could even process what just took ce they saw You Xiwangs figure sh on the battle stage.


    You Xi Wang was moving all over the stage, his spear shing the air, it looked more like a dance than an offensive technique. The air des formed by the shing spear gathered and form an illusionary shape of a dragon.


    Some elders in the VIP pavilion held their breaths as they saw the potential of this move, in their eyes You Xi Wang has be an incarnation of the war god who was dancing in the battlefield with his spear and a dragon at beck and call.


    You Shan Wang was utterly shocked, he tried to disrupt You Xi Wang''s movements repeatedly, but the air pressure made it difficult for him to close the distance. The whole duel arena has descended into a storm.


    The pressure around the stage has reached a terrifying level, You Zhichi and the others who were sitting beside the stage were having trouble breathing, Chen Qianbei and You Naixin created a spiritual energy barrier around the young You family people. Chen Qianbei had a surprised look on her face as she said, "Xi Wang has grown very strong for his level" You Naixin nodded with her eyes fixed at the dancing figure on the stage.


    Suddenly You Xi Wang''s figure came to an abrupt halt, and he shouted while thrusting his spear at You Shan Wang "Piercing Dragon". The dragon figure moved forward with its mouth wide open as if it will swallow You Shan Wang, but before it reached him, You Xi Wangmanded the dragon figure to collide with the ground, right in front of You Shan Wang.


    ''BOOM!!!'' a deafening st took ce copsing the duel stage, forming a dust cloud. When the dust settled only half of the battle stage was left intact while the other half was already dust and rubble. On the intact side stood a lean figure holding the spear in his hand, his face and chest were covered with blood, his hair was waving in the wind and his eyes were firm, dominating as if an emperor looking down on the world. While on the other side, from the rubble crawled out a sorry looking figure, although his face was deathly pale, his hair was a mess, but he didn''t have a single scratch. These two figures were none other than You Xi Wang and You Shan Wang, respectively.


    "I admit defeat" spoke You Shan Wang with a bitter smile on his face. The referee nodded and announced in a solemn voice, "You Shan Wang admits defeat, The winner of this duel is You Xi Wang"


    Thunderous apuse shook the arena, You Xi Wang heaved a sigh of relief and slightly bowed to the audience and his elders. He stepped down from the stage and before he could think of what to do Chen Qianbei appeared in front of him and pulled him into her warm embrace not minding the blood over him as she said: "big sister will be proud of you kiddo, you have grown strong."


    You Xi Wang had already realized who this person was and hugged her back as he mumbled, "thank you for being here, aunt." following this he greeted the nine elders and paid his respects to them. As he moved forward, he came to stand in front of You Naixin, who was looking at him with a smile and pride, You Xi Wang smiled and he joked: "Say granny howe you always look so young, even after being a granny?" You Naixin grabbed his ear between her thumb and index finger while scolding him jokingly: "brat, do you want granny to give you a special patting on your bum?"


    You Xiwang chuckled, and he replied softly: "aii, sorry granny, I promise I won''t tease you ever again. Please let go of my ear or it wille apart. And howe you arrived sote? Do you not love us anymore?"


    You Naixin immediately let go of his ear and hugged him in her embrace, his face pressed in her surplus bosom, and she said in a motherly tone: "Xi Wang granny didn''t know about the plight of our family, forgive me for being toote, but do not worry, I will let no harme to you and Zhichi ever again."


    "Okay, but release me please, I can''t breathe, these mountains are suffocating me, granny." You Xi Wang said in a muffled voice. After he was released, he panted, somewhat exaggerating, again incurring the ear twisting punishment from You Naixin but he jumped away, this time, he was ready for her attack and jovially teased her: "You are getting older, granny xin."


    You Zhichi who has been waiting silently for all this while moved to stand in front of her brother and unexpectedly pped him straight across his face, her actions stunned everyone in the arena, but You Xi Wang smiled slightly and said in an apologetic tone while rubbing the back of his head: "Forgive me, big sis, I made a mistake in the battle and made you worry."


    It was now that everyone realized that she pped him for getting hurt during the battle. That was how much she loved her brother. Everyone felt warm when they witnessed the bond between these two.


    You Xi Wang hurriedly hugged her as he saw her eyes turning red and appeased her with a joke: e on, don''t cry, please, see I am fine now and if you cry, you will get older faster, Granny xin and Aunt bei both have wrinkles from crying and worrying and they have covered them with makeup. Do you want to end up being my Granny instead of big sis by looking that old?"


    Although his words caused his sister to giggle, two pairs of enchanting eyes gave him a death stare. He ran away quickly while shouting behind him: "I need to visit my doctor." Everyone from You family chuckled at his antics.


    You Ziyou announced after he walked up the stage, "You Xi Wang is now officially the master of You family, he is not present here as he needed to get his injuries treated before they get any worse. You family apologizes to all the guests, but please do not leave if it is not important, You family will host a dinner banquet tonight to celebrate today''s event. You are all invited."


    The servants and volunteers of You family led the guests to their arranged lodgings while the family started preparations for the dinner banquet.

 Chapter 13: Meeting Dr. Susan again.

    Chapter 13: Meeting Dr. Susan again.


    Meanwhile, You Xi Wang ran towards the maglev parking, Robert followed him as he knew his young master needed to go to the hospital. You Xiwang noticed that You family private parking had a lot of maglev cars, some were luxury sedans, some were lean looking sports cars, he pointed at a car and he asked Robert: "Robert, who owns this car?"


    Robert thought for a bit and said: "Tenth Madam, You Naixin, young master,"


    "Okay, I will ask her if I can take her car, it seems to be quick." replied You Xi Wang as he tapped the wristband on his left wrist. A holographic interface appeared in front of him, he was so fascinated with it, he forgot his main motive and started fiddling with it, a snort rang out and his train of thoughts was derailed by system''s voice: [Master, you are acting like a toddler again. Did you forget what I told you earlier, I will take over your soul if you lose your mentalposure?.]


    You Xi Wang hurriedly called You Naixin who agreed to his request, but asked him toe back soon.


    Robert opened the passenger seat door for You Xi Wang and he went to sit in the driver''s seat. The car hummed lightly and floated in air steadily. After a deep breath, Robert pressed the elerator, and the car zoomed as they moved. They reached the hospital in 15 minutes, half the time they usedst time.


    While they were on their way, You Xi Wang has already called Dr Susan: "hello" a soft butzy voice sounded from the other side of the call.


    The call system was very sophisticated as well the wrist band had a pumpkin seed-sized detachable ball, which was to be ced in the ear while a powerful microphone embedded inside the band can transmit your voice without you cing the wrist band near your face.


    "Hello Dr Susan, this is You Xi Wang here."


    "The handsome little one, eh? Why did you remember me?" there was a bit of energy in her voice now.


    "How does an eight inches long gash on my chest with blood dripping from it sound?" he replied a bit sarcastically.


    "Sister Wang, prepare an emergency kit and ambnce we need to retrieve a patient," she had already started giving instructions to the nursing staff.


    "Hey! Wait, I am already on the way to the hospital stop making a fuss," You Xi Wang replied in a rush.


    "Oh, well then. Sister Wang, get the emergency ward prepped, the patient is on his way." she talked to him and instructed her subordinate at the same time.


    "I''ll wait for you here, then, You Xi Wang." and the call disconnected.


    It only took them two minutes to be done with the call.


    ...


    You Xi Wang alighted the car and asked Robert to not worry and find him after parking the vehicle. He entered the hospital after passing on the instructions to Robert and was attended by a nurse who brought him to the emergency ward where Dr Susan was waiting with a look of anticipation on her face. She was wearing her white overcoat underneath it was a ck frock with floral print, her legs beneath her knees were exposed and looked stunning paired with ck leather gipsy sandals wrapped around her small feet making her look adorable and stunning at the same time.


    "You are here, take off your shirt andy down inside the capsule fast, you have already been bleeding for over twenty minutes, how can you be so careless?" Dr Susan instructed him.


    "Well my granny pressed some of my acupoints as soon as she got a chance and the bleeding stopped but it started again in the car" he replied as he took off his shirt and headed to the capsule but the Dr stopped him and asked him to take off his shoes and jeans too, as they both had some amount of blood on them which might contaminate the capsule during the treatment.


    You Xiwang did as she told him andy in the capsule wearing nothing but underwear when the nurses looked at him, they all had a faint blush on their cheeks as he looked like a god. The Dr noticed this, and she waited for them to turn away as she continued operating the capsule, but after ten minutes she saw these nurses having no intentions to leave and were staring shamelessly, she got pissed and hissed to them in a low voice: "Leave here you, shameless women, save some patients."


    The nurses left reluctantly, but they still sneak winked to You Xi Wang inside the capsule who looked away as if he did not see their actions, this made the nurses giggle as they thought he was a shy person. The Dr saw this and asked him with an amused smile, "Why did you ignore their invitations?"


    "Honestly?" You Xi Wang didn''t reply to her question, but asked one of his own.


    Dr Susan looked at him and only nodded. She understood he was asking her whether she needed an honest answer or just joking. You Xi Wang saw this and smiled softly which dazed her a bit and said; "How can I even consider them when I am targeting you? The prettiest Dr I have ever seen."


    His words were cheesy while his tone was soft. Dr Susan was dazed because of the effect his tone created over her before she could even react, she heard him say: "how about I say a poem to express my emotions for you, Susan?"


    "Really now? Okay, go ahead and if you can impress me, I might give you a chance." Replied Dr Susan amusedly.


    "As she walked into my life with her hair swaying around.


    I wanted to be with her, even if we are hell-bound.


    The spark in her gaze lit up my soul.


    When she smiled at me, I wanted to give my all.


    Now, as she stood there wrapped in the shimmering light.


    I want to protect her smile with all my might.


    Will we ever be together? I ask you, Oh gods above.


    No matter what you say, I will love you to heaven and above."


    These lines shocked Dr Susan, she never expected him to write something like this for her, and a faint blush emerged on her face, she turned her face away and said lightly: "You take rest, I wille and check on youter." she turned and walked away without looking back, but she heard You Xi Wang say: "Okay, Susie, I will wait for you forever."

 Chapter 14: The Assurance of strong.

    Chapter 14: The Assurance of strong.


    You Xi Wang rested inside the capsule while setting up a n he would follow in future. Two hours have passed in a blink as he discussed with the system.


    It was now 1.26 PM and lunchtime was nearing, Dr Susan entered the room to check on him, she avoided eye contact with him; she saw that his wound has closed, leaving only a faint mark which will fade away as he cultivates in the future. She nodded and said in a soft voice: "You are clear to go home now, be careful in the future." she turned to walk out but stopped and hesitated for a bit. She nibbled her lower lip a bit and asked, "Why did you write something like that for a mediocre doctor like me?"


    You Xi Wang, who was getting dressed, smiled and said: "I liked you the first moment I saw you walking in the room with that swaying ponytail, but today when you got flustered hearing that I need medical help I fell in love with you. Simple as that."


    Dr Susan turned with her eyes on the verge of tears, but she reined in her feelings and said in a staggering voice: "I am almost twice your age, just a mediocre doctor in this hospital, I have made many mistakes in life, I am not clean like those upper housedies you know? Will you still say that you love me?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said while walking closer to her: "Everybody makes mistakes in life, that''s the process of growth, you are a doctor who treated my ailments twice, so that''s also settled, age can be controlled with cultivation and alchemy pills, so just stay young in your spirit and leave your ageing problem to me. Never call yourself unclean because what defines our cleanliness is not out body, but our heart and mind, you stated all this hiding nothing is clean enough. I still want to be with you."


    The tears Dr Susan was holding on now started falling when You Xi Wang was just inches away from her and was looking her in the eye, she gathered all her strength and spoke in a choking voice: "You belong to You family, a prominent tycoon of the silica city will Ie from nameless suburbs, your family will never ept someone like me and I have a mother to look after, I cannot let anyone harm her after all that she has suffered in her life, I don''t even know who my father is You Xi Wang. I am not good enough for you. Please leave."


    You Xi Wang smiled and called her sister using his holo-phone.


    "Hello Bro, are you okay now?" You Zhichi''s voice sounded out of the speaker.


    "Yes big sis, I am fine, here I have someone who I like, but she is stating all not so big reasons and implies that she is not good enough for me so will you tell her that how I can protect her and her family and if my family supports me or not."


    Before You Zhichi could reply another voice came out of the speaker: "Young master as your first woman I support you, go for it." another voice followed "I am You Naixin, and as his grandma, I also support him, don''t worry dear no harm wille to you or your family, after all, our Xiwang is now the master of You family. So, don''t worry about anything and tell me if this brat bullies you." now that You Naixin has spoken herself how can Chen Qianbei''s voice followed: "I am Chen Qianbei, I am his maternal aunt and I also vouch for you and your families safety, but you have to be loyal and look after Xiwang or don''t me me for being harsh."


    "Xi Wang, tell me her name and I will n for her safety" although she did not speak before her words now were clear enough to show her support.


    "Dr Susan Watson, bye, talk to you after Ie back home. I love you all." You Xi Wang replied.


    "Love you too bro." replied You Zhichi, and she disconnected the call.


    Dr Susan was standing there with her eyes wide open in shock as she heard all these voices and names. She regained herposure and asked again: "Are you sure about this?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said: "I am sure, but are you? You already know I already have another woman and there might be more in the future, will you be able to live like that?"


    "Yes, absolutely yes," she said nothing more and hugged You Xi Wang by wrapping her slender arms around his neck and kissed him hard. You Xiwang weed her advances and held her waist with his right arm and his left palm held her right cheek. They both explored their mouths and fought the battle of tongues. After a minute they separated with saliva forming a thread connecting their lips. They both smiled and hugged each other for a bit.


    You Xi Wang separated from her and asked her: "Why don''t youe to my house today? You can meet my family and celebrate my victory together, bring along your mother too. I''ll send a car and Robert wille personally. Okay?"


    Dr Susan only nodded as she looked at him with eyes full of love. You Xi Wang came out and told Robert about picking up Dr Susan and her mother from their ce and bring them to the banquet. Dr Susan felt very calm and happy as she watched You Xi Wang waving at her with a dazzling smile on his face before getting in the car and leave.


    You Xi Wang returned to his mansion and went to his room, only to find three women waiting for him inside with affectionate smiles on their faces. He sat next to his aunt, and they started the long Q&A session with him. This scene made You Xi Wang get emotional, and heid his head down in his aunt''sp. Hours flee by unknown to them and Emily came over to remind them they should get dressed as the banquet was about to begin.

 Chapter 15: The Banquet.

    Chapter 15: The Banquet.


    The sunset and the guests arrived in You family banquet hall one by one. The banquet has not yet officially begun as the star of the night You Xi Wang was missing, She Congming who was looking for an excuse to stir trouble attacked You family, "Is this how You family treats its guest? Is this not an insult for the guest to wait as the host has yet to arrive? I will walk out if I do not see You Xi Wang here in five minutes."


    You Naixin, who had just entered the banquet hall heard this tter and retorted with a sneer, "Who let their pup out, without a leash? If I heard any tom, dick and harry daring to nder my You family, I will have them on a tter by the end of this banquet so, you guys better ask your people to behave properly and I won''t be talking next time. She brat, you better aren''t spouting nonsense or I will make you beg me for death."


    Her words made everyone shiver and remember that among all You family elders, You Naixin was the most unreasonable one, and if anyone goes as far as bad mouth the family in her presence they will all have miserable deaths. She walked to the center of the hall and pped her hands once when she was done gathering everyone''s attention, she said in a formal tone: "Respected guests as you all know that my grandnephew was injured during the battle in the morning, he needed rest, which caused him to bete for the banquet. While he was on his way here, he suddenly thought it would be very good to have the banquet to be arranged outside in the open, under the star ceiling. That is why our family was upied in making sufficient arrangements befitting your statuses. I would like to apologize, but if you all could follow me, it might be to your liking." after she was done speaking her piece she turned and left without caring whether or not anyone ising.


    The guests followed her and reached their destination and were taken back when they saw a man-madeke in You family garden was decorated with rednterns and beautifully decorated. The entire garden andkeside was lit up by the cold-lightmps The tables were covered with a white cloth, red chairs was set next to the tables and a mildly cold breeze blew over everyone making them feel rxed and calm. It was really a soothing atmosphere. The guests looked pleased with this set up for the banquet.


    The guests started talking among themselves, just as they were rxing a tinkling sound made its way to their ears and they saw a handsome young man wearing a ck three-piece tuxedo standing in the centre of the garden, he held a wine ss in his right arm and gracefully tapping it with a table knife in his left hand to gather everyone''s attention.


    "Hello,dies and gentleman, my name is You Xi Wang and I would like to thank you all for gathering here tonight to share and celebrate this event of my family, I hope you that in future we all can maintain friendly rtions just like it was when my father and mother were alive. Please ept my toast in your respect, I am technically still not an adult so I hope you pardon me for using juice instead of alcohol. Cheers to everyone and please enjoy yourselves."


    Thest part of the speech made the ambience of the gathering more joy and light as his words caused the guests chuckle and apuse. This also improved his impression of being a humble yet straight forward person. Every few minutes someone will propose a toast to him or his sister and they both would take a sip from the juice sses.


    Robert entered the garden leading a beautiful woman who was pushing a wheelchair in which sat an elderly lookingdy. This woman was none other than Dr Susan Watson along with her mother, Dr Susan wore a moonlight blue coloured gown with a glittery effect on it, the gown had a slit on its side which exposed her slender fair right leg as she walked, her dark brown hair tied in a neat bun while her neck adorned by a simple silver chain with matching earrings hung from her ears, she looked taller because of the five-inches high heels. Although she was not wearing any of those high-ss articles of clothing and jewelry she still made men turn their heads. Her eyes were locked onto only one person, You Xi Wang.


    They were both looking at each other and smiling, You Xi Wang took the initiative and went towards her. He hugged her lightly and then helped her push the wheelchair where his family members were standing.


    You Zhichi was wearing a white gown perfectly contrasting her brother, her hair was left free as they fell on her back as if a waterfall of the night sky and her eyes sparkled like stars her lips only were painted red which made her fair face look even more beautiful, she wore her mother''s ne and earrings which were both made of red jade. She lived up to her title of the celestial maiden.


    Emily was also wearing a champagne color gown, her hair was tied in a bun on the side of her head. Her deep ck eyes shone like gemstones, the gown exposed half of her clear dusky back and a slightly deep neck of the design showcased the valley of wonders which tempted a lot of males gathered around.


    Chen Qianbei was wearing a traditional Chinese white robe wrapped around her shapely figure making her look like a beautiful traditional painting, her calm and straight forward temperament was projected very well because of the robes, her hair was held up with an elegant phoenix jade hairpin.


    You Xi Wang asked Dr Susan after introducing her with thedies: "Susie, are you not going to introduce me to your mother?"


    Dr Susan smiled hesitatingly and said: "She has been in an unresponsive state for a long time, but if you want to, then I will introduce you to her."


    You Xi Wang only nodded in affirmation and Dr Susan: "Mum this is You Xi Wang your Son-inw, Xi Wang this is my mum, Ms Cam Watson."


    You Xi Wang gazed into Cam''s eyes and was about to say something to her when a system''s voice echoed in his mind: [Master, her soul is asleep, I can help you wake her up.] this shocked You Xi Wang as he just kept looking at her, after a few moments he turned to Susan who was confused by his silence and said: "Susie can you stay here tonight, I need to talk to you after this banquet is done" although Susan did not know the reason behind his words she still agreed to his request.


    The banquet wen on smoothly when a suave looking guy walked towards You Zhichi and said: "Miss Zhichi, can I have the honor to apany you for a dance?"

 Chapter 16: The Argument.

    Chapter 16: The Argument.


    The surrounding people gradually fell silent. You Zhichi turned her head to look towards the guy who approached her and she said with a poker face: "Mister, I do not dance with strangers. Please look for another partner." her words were clear and did not sound insulting at all, but the young man was not quite satisfied with this answer and said: "It''s just a dance, do you have to act all high and mighty over it?"


    The atmosphere became tense, but You Zhichi did not reply to the young man and turned to leave, her action caused the young man to burst into fury and he grabbed towards her shoulder but before his hand could reach her it was stooped by You Xi Wang who was looking at the young man with cold eyes, his gaze scared the young man and he took a step back.


    You Xi Wang asked with an innocent-looking smile: "May I know your name?"


    The young man replied with a heavy voice: "Xue Jingshen son of council official Xue."


    You Xi Wang understood his implication and smiled as he said: "Robert, please invite council elder Xue to our table"


    Everyone in the banquet wanted to see how he would deal with this matter. Soon, council elder Xue arrived at their table and saw You Xi Wang holding his son''s arm. He knew his son''s vicious nature and understood it must be his fault, usually powerful people support their own people, but council officials were bound to oaths, he cautiously approached You Xi Wang and asked, "Young master You is there any misunderstanding between you and my son?"


    Before You Xi Wang could speak Emily spoke up as she also moved to stand behind him: "Council official Xue, It''s master You now, You Xi Wang has seeded You family throne."


    The council official understood his mistake and hurriedly replied: "I apologize for the way I addressed master You."


    You Xi Wang smiled and waved his free hand and said in a respectful tone: "Council official Xue, I prefer being called Young master You as I am used to it, plus I am not old enough to be called Master, please rx and you should not apologize to me, you are an elder to me, plus mistakes can be forgiven if they are made unknowingly and are not harmful, just like now. Your son did something for which I would have yed him alive and made him beg me to kill him if he was not your son. Do you know what he did?"


    His voice was soft yet the authority it carried was undistinguished. The council official looked around, he was embarrassed, but You Xi Wang gave him face when he called him an elder and spared his son for something he disliked very much. This was enough face and respect for him anymore and it will make him seem like a tyrant who used the Council''s powers for oppressing others, which resulted in the erasure of his whole family by the council.


    Council official Xue looked at his son in fury as he was the reason of him being in a bind now and angrily asked: "What did you do?"


    Xue Jingshen answered with a shiver in his voice: "I inviteddy You Zhichi for a dance," he was afraid of his father ever since he was a kid but it was his mother who spoiled him rotten.


    You Xi Wang snorted: "Are you going to say it all or should I? But if I am the one who needs to exin your deeds, what use does your tongue have?"


    You Xi Wang''s words were torturing and Xue Jingshen blurted out everything truthfully from how he got drunk and how She Congming encouraged him to ask You Zhichi for a dance to how he was enraged at her refusal.


    Council official Xue lost his temper and pped his son so hard that he fell down on the ground spitting blood. This p shocked every one guest they did not expect Council official Xue to be this fiery. Council official Xue was a respected person, and he hated people being disrespected towards women, he said in a cold voice: "You waste of space apologize tody You and I might lessen your punishment when you get home, if Young master You allow you to."


    Xue Jingshen did as he was told and apologized to You Zhichi, but You Xi Wang has still not decided if to let him go. You Naixin came and stood next to him and whispered something in his ear which made a smile form and he nodded to her, he walked up to the kneeling Xue Jingshen and helped him up and said in a friendly tone: "Xue Jingshen, my sister is my life and if someone has schemes against her, I will make them feel the torment they cannot imagine, but this time you were only used by She Congming as a borrowed knife. I will let you go, be careful whom to befriend and whom to fall out with."


    Xue Jingshen departed with his father and sincerely thanked You Xi Wang, who asked Council official to end this matter here. You Xi Wang asked You Naixin to make She Congming a eunuch with tools, which means he will have a dick and balls but they won''t serve the purpose. It was sinister but was necessary as this snake has tried to sting You Xi Wang a lot many times, but this time he tried to use You Zhichi, this made You Xi Wang furious.


    The banquet was only halfway through and a group of people arrived at You family mansion gates wanted to enter but were stopped by the guards, as the guards were new and did not know them, the group made no fuss and simply called You Xi Wang himself and waited for him toe, the guards asked the group to sit in the guest reception area as they waited. Two minutester You Xi Wang arrived and happily met the group of three people, his ssmates and his best friends, the ss stud and second strongest Neo Paul, the ss princess and first strongest Ushijima Yuki andst but not the least the equipment queen and seventh strongest Fenny Sh.

 Chapter 17: Friends.

    Chapter 17: Friends.


    You Xi Wang met Fenny Sh, Ushijima Yuki and Neo Paul with a big grin on his face, he gave a bear hug to Neo Paul, who was wearing a gray Ming cored shirt with a ck waistcoat over it paired with grayish trousers and ck leather shoes; He had thick brows, which curved downwards at the ends his ck eyes were giving a calm vibe, his body was like a mountain of muscles which were trying to rip his clothes apart ande out, he had a slightly wide jaw and a medium-sized nose and fuller lips, his hair looked like a lion''s mane giving him a very manly look. He belonged to the Man-Demon race; they are the offsprings of human and demons who have achieved human form. His father was a human, but his mother was a Sun Lion.


    Sun Lions were a tribe of demonic beasts who grow stronger when they soak in sun''s radiation and they have innate ability to attract radiation towards them, Neo''s father met his mother when he was a student in a university and was out for research in the Eastern forest of Tyrant Sector of Metropia, his mother was weak because of her recent breakthrough and was vulnerable but Dio Paul (Neo paul''s father) did not take advantage of her and helped to guard her as she healed and they became friends over years they fell in love and got settled in Silica city.


    Neo teased You Xi Wang after they broke from the hug: "I was wrong when I thought you were an innocent little soul, who knew you would cause a ruckus as soon as you have time to."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and did not reply and was about to greet Ushijima Yuki when he was stopped by a chubby figure: "I knew you were a pervert Lil Xi Wang, look how you want to jump on your ''beauty Yuki'' eh?" this person was Fenny Sh. She wore a long skirt and sneakers with her blue-ck hair left loose over her shoulder, she had blue eyes shaped like almonds, her brows were long and thin, her nose was round and small like a button which made her look adorable, she always had a smile on her face and people always were misled by her appearance, she was very toxic when she started talking.


    She belonged to Silica City itself, her parents were both software developers at Tianlong Technologies. She knew You Xi Wang since kindergarten as their mothers were best friends and colleagues. Her father was a descendant of the Thunder Stag and inherited its bloodline trait while her mother was also a Thunder Doe. They both worked at the samepany owned by You Liangxin and Chen Limao.


    You Xi Wang helplessly turned to her and with a begging face said: "Big Momma Fenny, please spare your pitiful child today." other two let out a chuckle and Fenny replied: "Okay pet, I''ll give spare your ugly face today but don''t let it be a habit, I own your pretty ass, okay." her tone was so smug it made the system admire her, while she also spewed fire on other two: "Pukey (Yuki), stop pretending to be girlie we all know you are always in the heat when Lil Wang is around, and you kitty boy lets have some good food or I might make you lose a life of yours,"


    She dragged away Neo regardless of how much he begged. He was truly treated like a kitten by Fenny. Ushijima Yuki was still blushing from her vulgar remark just now. She liked You Xi Wang as he always helped her with her studies and saved her life twice, in an educational expedition, but Fenny Sh made her too embarrassed to go forward and confess.


    Ushijima Yuki was a native of Essen Sector, which was an ind chain on the eastern border of Metropia. Her parents were both Council officials, who were transferred here for work.


    She was wearing a traditional ck dress which looked like a Japanese kimono, but it had a split which exposed her long fair legs as Ushijima Yuki walked towards You Xi Wang. She had her long ck hair tied in a Geisha hair bun with a jade hairpin passing through them, her eyebrows were like shes made by a sword, long, thin and sleek, her red eyes looked like narrow slits, a long, sharp nose with petal thin lips, her face was oval, a broad forehead and narrow chin just like a doll.


    She said in her bell-like voice: "I heard about your parents, but could not offer my condolences earlier Xi Wang. I hope they rest in peace."


    "Thank you, Yuki. Come, let''s go" his reply made her feel a bit disappointed as she was used to himplimenting her almost always, she was used to his flirty attitude when they were alone.


    "You look beautiful as usual, actually I always wanted to tell you I like you, but that nutcase Fenny would make the situation awkward. What say Yuki, want to be my girl?"


    You Xi Wang''s sudden words caused her face to turn so red as if it would start bleeding and she froze on the spot as she was surprised. You Xi Wang then said: "I already have two women I love, they are here, I know I am a rascal who is looking for more when I already have two but it is because you are you, I can protect those two but you can fight alongside me in the future. In two weeks I will reach spirit formation and will stand alongside you in any battlefield, the choice is yours and I am not nning to get any more girls for now."


    Ushijima Yuki was upset when she heard that he already have two women now, but when he said that she will fight alongside him in the future, it made her heart beat faster than it ever has, she kept silent as she looked in his eyes, she saw his words were sincere and his eyes were full of love as he looked at her.


    She took a deep breath and said: "You can only get another woman when they meet the approval of me and my elder sisters or you can leave without your tool dangling between your legs. Don''t worry, we will still love you." with that said she held his hand in her seemingly boneless palm and tugged him while she said with a beautiful smile: "You can gaze at meter first I need to meet my sisters, lead the way now."


    You Xi Wang led her to the garden with a nk look in his eyes, he did not know Ushijima Yuki to be so dominating.

 Chapter 18: The maestro makes the first move.

    Chapter 18: The maestro makes the first move.


    You Xiwang and Ushijima Yuki appeared and people looked at them with strange looks in their eyes, but his sister and Emily, who knew how big of a crush he had over Ushijima Yuki this was bound to happen and given how bold he has be now it came to them with no surprise.


    You Xi Wang made the basic introductions of his friends and left before it gets awkward between the threedies but it turned out that they were all friendly and his aunt and granny were also busy with attending to some guests as they both took over the role of his mother unknowingly, he felt warm in his heart and mumbled to himself in a voice only he could listen: "I have a family again, this time I will not repeat the mistakes I made in my past."


    You Xi Wang suddenly sensed a malicious intent pointed at his back, he did not turn and only a sly smile appeared on his face, his eyes turned cold, he walked to his granny who was talking with a guest. He stood beside her and she said with a tone so warm it shocked the guests: "Xi Wang, do you need anything, my child?"


    "No Granny, I just wanted to know, who is so interesting that you are conversing for more than an hour." he smiled to the guests and saw a middle-aged man wearing sses looking at him with a soft smile. You Naixin made the introduction: "This here is, Mr Dimitri Ivanovich, he is the person who supplies your fifth grandpa with Chrono ore and Iron sand." then she gestured towards You Xiwang and said with pride in her tone: "This is You Xi Wang, master of You family and son of You Liangxin and Chen Limao."


    Dimitri took the initiative of offering his hand to You Xiwang and spoke with a smile: "Pleased to make your acquaintance Young master You."


    You Xiwang took his hand and noticed it was rough for a merchant but there was no change in his face, he replied politely: "The pleasure is mine, Mr Ivanovich, thank you foring here and share our happiness."


    Dimitri wanted to start some small talks, but You Xi Wang took him by surprise: "Mr Ivanovich, I read that the ce where Chronos ore is mined, other material is also found, that material is called Lithical iron, what I would like to ask you is can you supply You family with Lithical iron?"


    His straight forward question shocked Dimitri Ivanovich for a moment and he replied, his question with a question: "Young master You forgive me for being ignorant here, I know, that Lithical iron may not be used for heavy weapon manufacture as per Council mandates and, other than that it has no uses as it is way too tough and lightening element affinity. What use will you have for it?"


    You Xi Wang smiled lightly and said: "I will use it for the future."


    Dimitri Ivanovich was not the only one shocked now, even You Naixin could not understand his motives, but before her imagination could go wild You Xi Wang said: "You supply us with the material and rx as I have no intention of disrupting world peace. I swear in the name of the heavens that I will not use lithical iron for weapons manufacture or any destructive means what so ever."


    As he finished those words, a bolt of lightning shed in the sky catching everyone''s attention and they heard Dimitri Ivanovichughing loudly as he raised the wine cup in his hand and said: "Happy cooperation Young master You, may the future be bright." after this You Naixin bargained the price of the material and Dimitri left to create a contract to seal the deal.


    You Naixin turned to You Xi Wang and asked: "Xi Wang what is it you want to do with Lithical Iron?"


    You Xiwang asked her: "Granny Xin do you know the properties of Lithical Iron?"


    You Naixin nodded and replied: "Lithical iron is good for lightening element users and can create heavy weapons like the rail gun, EMP missile, storm arrowheads, etcetera. It is also a good absorber of spiritual energy, but cannot be used for creating spirit formations as it is way too tough and lighting affinity as Ivanovich stated."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said: "Granny, when you pass lightning current through Lithical iron it will bend to its users, will, right?"


    You Naixin nodded and You Xi Wang said: "If Tianlong technologies pass an electric current and spiritual energy together through the Lithical iron block, they can then will it to change into a sheet, that sheet can make circuit boards, and those circuit boards will be tougher and better than any otherpany ever, obviously, it will take some effort but if we can do it, imagine who is going to rule?"


    You Naixin''s eyes were about to pop out as she saw this boy in front of her. She remembered the moniker he had earned at 16 Maestro of material science.


    Metropia had a very simple rule in material science ''If you can use spiritual energy on it, you can change simple rocks into weapons of mass destruction'' this was the effect of world principles of Metropia.


    This move was something You Xi Wang came up this morning when resting in the capsule, he wanted to make better motherboards for hispany and tried this material first and he was aware that fifth elder of the family You Zhenshi owns a luxury wristwatch brand which uses Chrono ore, a luxury ore which has a gxy like shining patterns all over it.


    That is how he came up with this n, but his luck supported him and he met the dealer while he was about to make proper arrangements for She Congming. Just as he thought him a cold smile appeared on his face.

 Chapter 19: Rattling the snake out of its hole.

    Chapter 19: Rattling the snake out of it''s hole.


    You Xiwang was walking along with You Naixin mingling with the guests and strengthening the connections when both of them were returning to their table where You Zhichi and others were sitting, they had Chen Qianbei join them and that was when You Xi Wang smiled suddenly and said to You Naixin: "Granny it''s time to act and crush the snake''s fangs."


    You Naixin was ecstatic when she heard this and left to execute the n with a gleeful smile on her face, which sent shivers down the spine of both You Xi Wang and Chen Qianbei. They both looked at each other and smiled wryly.


    Chen Qianbei took this opportunity and asked You Xi Wang: "Xi Wang, although you have a good idea about how to use the Lithical Iron but do you not think many geniuses in the past had the same thing ur to them but none seeded?"


    He replied with a dazzling smile: "Aunt, there is one thing that I did not mention to granny."


    Chen Qianbei was brimming with curiosity as a businesswoman herself, she wanted to know how her nephew was going to pull this off. Noticing her expression, You Xi Wang chuckled and said: "Add a little soul power and Lithical iron will bend to your will."


    This single word ''soul power'' was enough to freeze her heart for a second and she looked towards her nephew bewildered. She looked around and noticed nobody heard them. That was when she realized You Xi Wang did not move his lips while he spoke the second half of his sentence. It was directly delivered to her mind space, only she could hear it.


    This was the new ability You Xi Wang gained after he broke through the night before the duel, this was also the hidden trump card the system mentioned, which, if used in an offense is too dangerous as it was not mastered yet and You Xi Wang also learned that it canmunicate in secret.


    You Naixin returned and Chen Qianbei could only smile as she spoke into You Xiwang''s mind: "Xi Wang ability to practice soul power is too precious and is coveted by the elements who still dwell in the shadows so be very careful and make sure to never expose it to anyone until you can trust them with your life, as might drag your loved ones into a mess."


    You Xi Wang gave a covert nod and focused on You Naixin, who was excited like a teenager fleeing home telling no one. Her expression was enough to tell him that the n has been set in motion.


    The trio returned to their table and noticed everyone looking at them in askance, Emily asked first: "Granny Xin, what made you so happy?"


    "Hehehehe..... You all get ready to watch the best show of your lives, enjoy." she said mischievously, which made the gazes turn towards Chen Qianbei who did not answer and sat down, while You Xi Wang was looking at She Congming when everyone noticed his gaze they also looked at She Congming.


    Neo Paul said jokingly: "Bro, what''s the point in staring at him. Tell me and I''ll make him crawl around in circles for you."


    Fenny Sh retorted: "You brawn for brains kitty-cat, I know, Lil Wang is now going to y with this snake, but brat you better gift his snakeskin to big momma here, hehehehe I''ll make a whip out of it and punish you, sissies, when you do wrong with me."


    Her words made everyone giggle except You Xi Wang and Neo Paul and they ignored replying to her.


    ....


    She Congming was sitting at the table reserved for him and his family, he was sulking since the morning when You Xi Wang made a fool out of him and now when he saw him foiling his n of using Xue Jingshen, but his hatred reached its peak when Ushijima Yuki appeared holding his hand, he wanted to tear You Xi Wang to pieces.


    She Jisuan noticed his son and spoke: "Do not make any foolish mistakes this time and be patient in the future, I will help you deal with this You Xi Wang."


    She Jisuan looked as if an adult version of She Congming was sitting next to him.


    She Congming nodded while staring at You Xi Wang, their eyes met and he noticed You Xi Wang gave him a yful wink and with a smirky smile, he stood up and whispered something in Ushijima Yuki''s ears making her fair white face turn red as she offered him her hand and he took it leading her to the dance floor as they both danced you Xiwang did not forget to give She Congming a provoking nce now and then.


    She Congming felt his blood evaporate in the heat of rage. He stood up and excused himself by saying he needed to visit the washroom. He walked to a secluded area of the mansion and tapped his wrist band and called a number tagged as a Master Skull.


    "Hello," a deste and hoarse sounding voice sounded, and She Congming replied: "Master, disciple asks permission to cast a soul severing curse on a person,"


    The voice replied: "You can do that, but if you get caught I will not help you, the rules of Death Sect are Unbreakable, whatever dark arts you use, you are the only one responsible."


    "Disciple understands thank you, master." She Congming replied and disconnected the call.


    He had a sinister smile on his face and mumbled: "You were smug were you not You Xi Wang, let''s see how I make you die and that bitch Yuki will cower under my crotch."


    Unknown to him, You Xi Wang''s system detected the dark soul power inside him and had already alerted You Xi Wang when he thought on how to make She Congming pay a price for his actions he first asked You Naixin to make him lose his masculinity, she asked someone to drug the wine She Congwing was consuming and also asked a core formation practitioner to keep watch on him.


    You Naixin was informed that She Congming had some covert rtionships with dark art practitioners and this suspicion was finally confirmed a few hours ago but just as she was thinking what to do, You Xi Wang asked her to make a move. This gave her an idea. She Congming was still a teenager, luring him in a trap was too easy for her.


    She Congming bit his finger, it started bleeding, and he started drawing symbols on the ground muttering some obscurenguage, while the practitioner tasked to look after him, had been recording the whole process and informed Council enforcers, they arrived in just a few minutes and also witnessed She Congming immersed in his actions.


    They had a somber look on their faces, they looked at each other and a female enforcer said: "We need to stop him now if he finishes, someone will suffer a terrible fate."


    The male enforcer nodded as they both made their way towards She Congming and said: "You are under arrest for practicing dark arts, your family will be informed after you are taken into custody."


    She Congming who was immersed in his action woke up when he heard these words and was shocked when he realized what was going on. He was not given any opportunities to make any exnation. His hands were cuffed by the male enforcer and he was being dragged back to the garden. He knew his life was now over.


    .....


    Back in the garden when You Xi Wang and Ushijima Yuki finished dancing, everyone apuded and both of them returned to their seats.


    Fenny Sh asked in annoyance: "Granny Naixin, you promised me a show. Don''t tell me you meant these two love drunk show-offs swaying their butts on the dance floor was what you meant."


    Before You Naixin could reply, a powerful voice sounded, making everyone have bewildered expressions.

 Chapter 20: Treating Mrs Watsons Soul.

    Chapter 20: Treating Mrs Watson''s Soul.


    Everyone in the garden turned towards the direction the voice originated from and saw two people wearing a monotone color schemed battlesuit with a human palm chain surrounding the world sigil in the front. This made everyone understand that they were councilw enforcers. The sigil belonged to the council of Metropia.


    The male among the two took a step forward and said in a stern voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Takeshi Kinben,w enforcer for the council of metropia. Thisdy beside me is Ushijima Choma. We apologize to the You family for disrupting your joyous asion, but we received a tip a few days ago that there has been some people in Silica city who are practicing dark arts in secret. So a week ago we finally arrested one guy and he leaked out some of the people who he knew were also involved in this, one name came up and that name was, She Congming, we have been watching him in secret for a few days and finally today we caught him drawing blood seals for Soul Severing Curse, those who don''t know about what soul severing curse is you can look it up on Metr."


    His words were like bombs to the audience who had explosions of surprise in their minds, but actually this was all a condition set up by You Naixin as she guaranteed that She Congming was also a dark dweller and the You family can help them arrest him but the You family must not be named at any cost.


    Ushijima Choma pulled She Congming in front as she said in a Cold Voice: "The She family master She Jisuan, follow us to the council magistrate office for interrogation, the same order has been issued for your whole family as well, do not try to run or you might die before you even know it."


    Her eyes scanned the whole crowd and stopped on Ushijima Yuki and she nodded slightly showing her approval towards her ''friend'' You Xi Wang. It turns out You Naixin credited You Xi Wang on this too much. With that said The husband-wife enforcer team dragged She Congming to the magistrate office along with She Jisuan and other She family members.


    The atmosphere in the banquet started to turn dead and guests started leaving one by one after paying respects to You Ziyou and other elders. You Xiwang asked Emily to take Dr Susan and her mother in a guest room in his part of the mansion and tasked Robert to drop his friends to their homes.


    Fenny Sh looked at You Xi Wang with a very intent gaze and said: "This cunning brat Lil Wang has grown up to be so sly and secretive, watch out brat or big momma here will spank your ass to a pulp, next time you better tell us in advance this surprise was too much."


    Neo Paul only gave him a fist bump and said: "That was epic bro, you smoked the snake well."


    Ushijima Yuki gave him a peck on his cheeks and said: "That''s my man."


    After a short time, the three of them left with Robert. You Xi Wang made his way to the guest room where Dr Susan was staying with Emily, whom he called over after his friends left. He knocked on the door and a smiling face came into his sight as the door opened, Dr Susan smiled and said: "Come in Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang entered and hugged her with his arms around her waist and kissed her lips softly, she also replied, but it was a pure, simple kiss on the lips and no tongue and stuff, he separated from her and asked with a smile: "What do you think now? Is my family good enough?"


    Dr Susan knew he asked her this because she had doubted his family in the morning when he proposed her., so she replied while she hid her face in his chest: "I apologize for earlier, and yes they are good... No, they are better than good"


    (Author note: she is two heads shorter than You Xi Wang)


    "Well, that''s music to my ears, now let me treat your mom, but hope you keep it a secret and ask your mom as well as it might cause some dangers for you and other members of my family. Okay?"


    Dr Susan nodded and said: "I will ask mom to stay in the house in case somebody notices something and it raises troubling"


    You Xi Wang nodded and moved towards her mother, he crouched down and put his index finger on the center of her brows and asked the system to work. The system then injected soul power into her mind space, he closed his eyes and next thing he knew was he was floating in a starry space which seemed endless, he asked the system: "Where is her soul?"


    The system replied: [Give me a second to locate her okay, chill a bit your worrying is contagious.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and observed the space around him feeling fascinated. A few secondster the system called out: [I have located her soul, now think about moving forward and eventually you will reach her.]


    You Xi Wang followed the instruction and in a few secondster, he saw a young version of Mrs Watson in a white dress, she looked just like Dr Susan Watson but her hair was ck.


    He floated near her and reached out his hand and held her as he softly said: "Mrs Watson, wake up, you have been sleeping for a long time, It''s time to rise and shine."


    The system in the meantime, fixed the cracks in her soul, they were not visible to You Xiwang''s avatar as he did not know how to control soul energy.


    Some time passed since he had started the procedure, but her soul did not respond, he couldn''t help but ask the system: ''Why is it not working?''


    The system replied: [Calm down, it will work just give it some time.]


    The system kept sharing soul energy to wake her up, finally, when almost all of the soul energy was spared Mrs Watson''s soul avatar opened her eyes slowly. She looked at You Xi Wang in front of her and asked: "Who are you and how did you enter inside the depth of my mind space?"


    You Xi Wang only smiled slightly and said: "Finally, you are up Mrs Watson, we can talk after you wake up in the real world. You have a very caring daughter who is waiting to call her name." with these words his avatar vanished and he left the mind space.


    In the real world You Xi Wang opened his eyes slowly with a smile and saw Dr Susan looking at him anxiously, he spoke softly: "Your mom will be awake in a few seconds, you guys catch up first I need to attend something and you canmute to work from here till your mom ispletely healed." he stood up gave her a quick peck on her lips and turned, he heard her say in a soft voice: "Thank you"


    He turned and said with a dazzling smile: "Susie my love there is no need to thank you between us, a midnight visit will do, "Heughed as he saw the blushing Dr Susan who said shyly: "Shameless rogue" as he left the room. As soon as he came out and closed the door behind him, he held his head in his palms as the world started spinning and he staggered towards his room.

 Chapter 21: New dawn Of The You Family.

    Chapter 21: New dawn Of The You Family.


    You Xi Wang entered his room with staggering steps. He threw his coat and waistcoat down and fell on the bed losing his consciousness. Emily was looking for You Xi Wang after she changed her dress. She advanced into the guest room where Dr Susan Watson was stayed. She knocked on the door and after a few moments a cheerful Dr Susan came into her sight and she smiled as she spoke in askance: "Sister Susan, Young master....."


    Her words were interrupted by the excited Susan as she spoke fervently: "Emily, my mother is awake. She woke up after Xi Wang treated her soul, she wanted to thank him but he left already. I have tried calling him, but he is not answering, please bring me to him along with you."


    Emily was also happy for her and she did not dwell too much on it and only replied: "Follow me then sister Susan, Young master must be in his room." Susan nodded and followed her to You Xi Wang''s room.


    Emily now had special ess to enter the room after what happened in the morning, it was courtesy of You Zhichi after she saw her precious little brother in that terrible state she allowed Emily to have the special ess.


    Emily smoothly keyed in the PIN and entered the room. She was followed by Susan, who looked around and saw him lying in the bed as if sleeping with his clothes all over the ce. She smiled and jokingly said: "I did not expect him to be this messy."


    Emily smelled something fishy, and she said hurriedly: "He is never like that, he is a disciplined person, I am feeling uneasy, let me check on him first." she walked near the bed and turned You Xi Wang over to lie on his back and her fears came true. She hurriedly tapped her wrist band and called You Zhichi.


    "ZHICHI! HURRY OVER, YOUNG MASTER IS NOT FINE." her voice was filled with urgency and it was loud. Susan also came near the bed and saw You Xi Wangying there with a pale face. She checked his pulse, it was also very faint, his breathing was shallow. She now understood why he left hurriedly. The method he used to treat her mother caused him to end up like this.


    The spear of guilt pierced her heart, and tears started forming in her eyes. You Zhichi arrived wearing her icy blue pyjamas, her hair was dishevelled and looked like wild bushes. Her pretty face had a worried expression, She was followed by her aunt Chen Qianbei, who was also in a blue night gown paired with a matching robe to hide her mesmerizing figure from the world.


    Chen Qianbei noticed both Emily and Susan were crying in silence she put her palm over her nephew''s forehead and instantly knew what the problem was so she started infusing her own soul force in his body and he changes were visible instantly, colour returned to You Xiwang''s pale face, his breathing became normal and deep, after ten minutes Chen Qianbei took her palm back and stroked his face, a motherly affection appeared in her eyes as she kept up with her action.


    You Zhichi saw her aunt''s action and heaved a sigh of relief, but still could not resist from asking: "Aunt, how is he now?" her aunt only smiled and replied: "He is fine and is in a deep sleep now, he will be fine in the morning don''t worry"


    She turned toward two otherdies present in the room and asked in a cold voice: "Who can tell me why his soul energy is overexerted? You have one chance, toe clean now or do not me me for being harsh."


    Susan, who was already in guilt now, could not resist and fell on her knees and said while weeping: "He treated my mother''s soul that is why he ended up like this. It is all my fault. Please punish only me, let my mother go."


    Emily had no concerns other than being her young master being happy and healthy, You Zhichi was also somewhat same, but she wanted her brother to be strong, happy and healthy. They both wanted to me Susan but before they could open their mouths Chen Qianbei said in a not so cold voice: "First, I guess it was Xi Wang, who treated your mother on his own ord?" Susan only nodded while crying her eyes out.


    Chen Qianbei continued: "He did this because he loves you and cares about you and as for his condition, it seems this brat underestimated soul afflictions away too much, so do not me yourself and be happy that he made so much effort for you and you better pay it off by being loyal to him and taking care of him. Second, he must have asked you to not unveil any of the information to anyone, right?"


    Susan nodded again and Chen Qianbei continued, "Swear in the name of heavens that what happened in this room and how he treated your mother will never be spoken by any of you ever again in this life. This is to keep him and you all safe from those ill-intended dark practitioners."


    You Zhichi and Emily understood that they were wrong in ming Susan for what happened to You Xi Wang. Also, when they heard Chen Qianbei''s words, they realized the implications of You Xi Wang being a soul power practitioner. The three of them swear in the name of the heavens and after consoling each other as they left the room while Chen Qianbei sat for a little while more stroking his head full of affection. She stood up after some time and left the room while muttering to herself: "Sis, he is just like you, going an extra mile for those he loves." by the end of this thought, a soft smile formed on her face as she left towards her own room.


    ....


    Next morning, the rays of the sun illuminated You Xi Wang''s room, and he grunted in displeasure, he turned on to his side to avoid it and continue sleeping, but his wish ended when he heard his sister''s voice which said: "Bro, wake up you sleepy head, Grandpa and the elders summoned you for your first family meeting."


    He groggily sat up and rested his head over her shoulder, You Zhichi smiled and stroked his back slowly and waited for him to speak: "Good morning big sis"


    She replied in a bell-like voice: "Good morning," he raised his head and looked at her for a while as he fully woke up. You Zhichi raised her hand and ruffled his hair and asked him to get ready as the elders were waiting.


    He followed her instruction and left to get ready.

 Chapter 22: The First Council and RAGING HEART.

    Chapter 22: The First Council and RAGING HEART.


    You Xi Wang took a bath and only a ss of juice for breakfast. He wore an olive-colored button-down shirt tucked in his golden-brown trousers; he wore a ck leather belt on his waist matching his shoes and wrist band. He looked like a man heading to work, his charm and charisma allowed Emily to ogle at him and while he was checking himself in the mirror Emily sneakily clicked a picture of him. He turned around and looked at her with a dazzling smile and shamelessly said: "Emily, aren''t you baffled by having such a godly boyfriend?"


    His words made Emily to be shocked for a second and then she broke out in aughing spell while she pinched his cheeks and said: "hahaha Young master.... You are so cute sometimes."


    You Xi Wang red at her pouting his lips and a wicked glint shed in his eyes, he reached his arms out and wrapped her waist with them and pulled her into an embrace, he looked straight in her eyes and slowly moved his face closer to hers. Emily pouted her lips in anticipation of his kiss, but just as she could feel his breath colliding with hers and their lips were only a millimeter away You Xi Wang stopped his advance and said in a slow voice while on of his hand shifted to Emily''s bountiful bottom. "Someone said I am cute and I am not pleased with it so now I am going to punish that someone by not kissing her." he gave her a strong p on her bottom "St" and left the room with a swaggering step.


    Emily winced in pain and rubbed her butt, feeling wronged. She looked at the holographic picture of You Xiwang and said with pouted lips: "Bully.."


    ....


    You Xi Wang entered the main hall looking all dapper, he stepped towards the throne and looked at You Zhichi who was standing beside the throne, in front of a chair designated for her. He smiled at her and turned around to look at all the elders and rtives present in the hall. He nodded and sat down on the throne.


    Everybody in the hall yelled together: "Glory to You Family, Hail the Master."


    This was repeated thrice. You Xi Wang stood up and said with a half bow: "I thank you all for your blessings, but I hope that in the future you all call me Young master as I still have a lot to learn and I need your help to bring You family to new heights."


    This small speech invited enthusiastic apuse. The young members of the family left the hall as they were only here to greet and bless the master, but the older ones started taking their seats behind the nine elders. You Xi Wang looked around and when he saw everyone settled down the spoke in a firm and resolute voice: "Fifth grandpa, I have asked Dimitri Ivanovich to supply us with Lithical iron, please coordinate with Granny Xin and get this deal settled. The ethical Iron can be molded by channelling spiritual, electrical and soul energies through it. This method should be kept secret, apply for patents as soon as Tianlong technologies, mold the first motherboard out of the material, and get the people taking part in this project take a heavenly oath before they get to know the details."


    He exined the n and earned the elder''s approval. He looked at his grandpa who sat there with a content smile and said with a poker face: "Everyone now that this is done, I ask you guys, starting today you choose what is your interest and follow the elders who a proficient in that aspect regardless it is business, politics, intelligence gathering, music, medical skills. Start learning from them and prepare to spread You familywork in other sectors, but always be in touch with the council officials, do not, I repeat hide nothing which is a family secret from them lest it raises councils suspicions, we are not strong enough to face them yet. Do you all understand what I am saying?"


    Everyone liked this idea of expansion and also praised You Xi Wang for being cautious of the council.


    You Xi Wang gave a nod while keeping a smiling face and asked them to leave him with the elders alone. The peopleplied with smiles on their faces. Chen Qianbei who was also present as a guest was also about to leave when she heard you Xiwang call out to her: "Aunt, you stay. What I am about to say is important to you." while he turned to You Zhichi and said with a smile Chichi how about we visit mom and dad after this?"


    You Zhichi smiled and nodded as her brother asked: "Big sis, if you don''t mind, I need to talk with the elders alone, but if you want to stay you can. It''s just that I do not want you to be bothered. You already have Tian long technologies to handle."


    You Zhichi waved her hand and said: "I know, do not bother with exining, I trust you will tell me when you think you should tell me."


    He gave her sister a gratified look as she left the hall. He then turned to face all the elders and his aura turned heavy, which all the elders rather uneasy. He then waved towards the door and his soul energy gushed out causing the door of the main hall to close. He closed his eyes for a bit and exhaled heavily and said: "Grandpa, I know that you guys are trying to hide something from me and Chichi and I also feel that it is rted to my parent''s death in that so-called car ident."


    He only took a pause and said while he started walking back and forth in front of them: "Luan motors, luxury car model TitanX30, heavily armored and is proven toe out unscathed after facing a rail gun beam. If a grade six beast attack, it won''t affect the car. Human cultivators only above level 7 primal soul realm, which means stronger than aunt can affect the car. So unless it was a rail gun attack, a beast tide of grade seven beasts or an expert of the primal soul realm."


    His eyes turned cold and wind inside the hall started howling as he continued: "If not these than there are only two possibilities. First, somebody tinkered with the car, second somebody attacked with an intent to kill. In both the cases my parents were murdered by someone and it was for something bigger than business rivalry. Now who can share their insights with me as I want to make the culprit beg me for death, I want his soul to shiver if he ever thinks about harming You family even after he reincarnates. I will erase his family regardless of women, children or dogs while I make him watch them die. ANSWER ME WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS FROM ME AND WHO IS THE ONE WHO TOOK MY PARENTS AWAY FROM ME."

 Chapter 23: Last Wish.

    Chapter 23: Last Wish.


    His voice was loud and cold, the wind inside the hall was very turbulent and the pirs were slightly shaking. It was because his soul energy was running rampant after You Xi Wang lost hisposure. Chen Qianbei came forward and said affectionately: "Xi Wang, calm down, you will harm yourself."


    You Xiwang finally calmed down and took a deep breath and bowed to the elders and said: "I apologize for losing my temper and being rude to all the elders and please forgive me for carelessly using you all." You Ziyou looked at him and said: "It''s okay Xiao Wang, we understand the grief you have in your heart and we also share the same pain. In this world exists an organization which targets extraordinary individuals to be a part of them, and they defy the council mandates. They are called The Shadow Council, many families willingly acts as their pawns, Your parents were a pair of geniuses in Computer science they designed many things, but when the Shadow council approached them they denied joining them, even when the council threatened them using you."


    He paused and continued: "Limao told your aunt about and Liangxin told me about it, we both assigned people to watch you and your sister from the shadows without affecting your day-to-day life, that day when they left to attend a meeting with Mirai group, they messaged us that their car has been tampered with when it was parked in the Mirai group''s parking. They added a customized software inside their car capable of detecting any external tampering and interference.


    You Xiwang was about to ask a question when Chen Qianbei tapped her wrist band and a holographic image of a woman appeared in front of everybody, her voice was very soft and ethereal her eyes filled withpassion and affection as she spoke: "Beibei, The Shadow Council has made their move against me and Liangxin. Our vehicle has been tampered with, the doors are locked and we cannot open them, the spiritual core has also been tampered to st as soon as the speed crosses a certain limit. We will perish now, but we will not bow down to the dark elements."


    The video now showed Both You Liangxin and Chen Limao together the scenery visible from the window behind started moving as Chen Limao started speaking again after a pause: "Beibei, we have signed our will and whatever we have will belong to our kids, Chichi is elder and will understand all this, so we have also sent a video message to her. What we are worried about is Gougou. He is still young and he might not take it all too well, so tell him when you think he is ready and then show him this video."


    You Liangxin cleared his throat and said: "Xiwang, be strong and benevolent, do not go seeking revenge for us with no preparation. Trust no onepletely except You family and Chen family, you are the man of our house now, take care of your sister and check on my old man from time to time, also, I love you son."


    Chen Limao who was calm till now had teary eyes while she spoke: "Gougou, mom loves you so much my sweetheart, there are a lot of things mom wants to tell you but...." she choked a bit and You Liangxin held her shoulder and she tried to calm down and started speaking again with tears falling from her eyes constantly: "Grow strong, be respectful to your elders and polite to your juniors, look after your sister she knows about us and is in a lot of pain, you are a big boy now, get a good wife, okay, mom will always watch over you my sweetheart, always..." then there was a loud sound and the video went nk.


    The main hall was silent, and You Xi Wang was on his knees and he was crying, but his tears were red, yes, he had tears of blood flowing from his eyes, his hand was raised towards the holographic video, the light in his eyes was dim, no sound came out of his mouth as the video was echoing in his mind again and again.


    Chen Qianbei was also focused on the video and finally, she noticed You Xi Wang in a shocked state, she hurriedly came to his side and held his shoulders and said: "Be strong Xi Wang, be strong for Zhichi, she has been holding herself well for you, she is also hurting inside, do you not want to fulfill your parent''sst wish" her words reminded him that his big sister was also hurt and she also needed him just like how he needed her.


    You Xi Wang''s eyes focused again, he wiped his face with his sleeves and saw all the elders shedding tears, he looked around and said in a heavy voice: "This council is adjourned, start gathering information about the Mirai group office, shelter all the orphans and beggars from the slum area, hire every desperate person out there and train them, make them assassins, spies, merchants, traders, smiths, provide them with education, food, clothes, medicine whatever they need. Arrange Tianlong technology to make Lithical Iron motherboards within a week and get the process and project patented, Elders we are You Family, we do not let some insect hiding in the shadows to act like a god and take away those whom we hold dear. I swear in the name of my parents that I will y these bastards even if they hid in hell or take shelter in heavens."


    All the elders looked at him and saw the resolve in his young eyes. They all exchanged looks and said: "Glory to You family"


    After passing his orders You Xi Wang left the hall with You Naixin and Chen Qianbei in tow, these twodies were very concerned for the siblings, You Naixin was married once, but her husband and his family were normal people and were massacred by a high-level family, whose Young master coveted her beauty. Chen Qianbei was unmarried by choice as she wanted to make her family strong after her sister left and her parents were now old.


    You Xi Wang arrived in front of his sister''s room and knocked. A minuteter You Zhichi appeared with the usual bright smile and asked her brother: "Gougou should we go to visit mom and dad now?"


    You Xi Wang held her wrist and said without turning back: "We will be fine aunt, granny, give us some time to talk." without waiting for their reply he entered the room and closed the door behind him. Both thedies had concerned look over their faces but were helpless, they knew that after knowing all the things hidden from them, they can only get through it by themselves.

 Chapter 24: Hope and Support.

    Chapter 24: Hope and Support.


    The room was spotless and had a faint fragrance lingering in it; it was like, You Xi Wang''s room but had a girlie touch to it. You Xi Wang made his sister sit on the bean bag near the table while he himself sat on the floor with his head raised, looking right in You Zhichi''s eyes.


    He said: "I know, I am a pain in the ass, I am also the one who always does nothing but make others worry about myself, first, it was mom and now you. But I have grown, you know, I don''t want to be the troublemaker anymore. Myck of control over my emotions did you hide something from me, right? Well, I know now. I only ask you to give me a chance to be your support just as you are mine and be my hope just as you think I am yours. Please, big sis."


    You Zhichi was in a stupor when she heard all this, she knew what he meant, she understood it wall even without him saying anything directly, tears started forming in her eyes, her body was shivering as if a withered leaf in a storm, she clenched her fists trying to stop herself from appearing weak in front of her brother, but she failed, herst barrier was broken by You Xi Wang who hugged her and said in a very affectionate whisper: "Big sis, I am here for you always and forever just like you are for me,"


    She hugged him tight hurting his body, but he did not make a sound as his sister buried her face inside his chest and let out all her pain, she cried and her nails scratched his back but he did not flinch, she hauled with grief with her face buried in his chest while he softly stroked her head without uttering a single sound, as time passed You Zhichi calmed and gained herposure back, her eyes were red from crying for so long but the me of resolve was clear. You Xiwang did not let her say anything and stood up. He took a ss from the table, filled it with water, and passed it to his sister. She took it and silently drank from it. Her breathing gradually turned normal.


    He then said: "Let''s get stronger together and avenge our parents, let''s be the hope and support we both need. Will you be my hope and let me be your support, Big sis?"


    You Zhichi looked at him and took a deep breath as she replied: " our names mean, Xiwang the hope and Zhichi the support, someone might see hope in the support they have while someone might be supported by hope itself. Gougou, you have grown knowledgeable. Let''s be each other''s hope and support," she held her palm in the air and You Xi Wang pped his palm with hers.


    They both talked and consoled each other for a bit and exited the room, only to find Chen Qianbei and You Naixin sitting near the entrance. They greeted them and told them they were going to the cemetery to visit their parents. The twodies also joined them and they headed towards the parking area of the mansion.


    ...


    After twenty minutes You Naixin drove them to the cemetery, You Xi Wang You Zhichi arrived in front of the graves, You Zhichi noticed some words engraved on the gravestones which were not there thest time, she looked at her brother who was kowtowing to their parents and understood that it must be his work. Chen Qianbei and You Naixin also noticed, but they also felt the spear intent in the words and knew how and who engraved these words.


    You Xi Wang looked at the gravestones and said: "Mom, dad, you both rest in peace, your son will avenge you, but only when I am strong enough, also mom your son has already got three girlfriends, cool no, I know I am such a handsome person who they couldn''t resist, hahaha. Also, I have aint. Why did you not stop Big sis from choosing that singleton technique? My poor sister, she will now grow old, changing my baby''s diapers. Imagine her nose fixing in a scrunching position after smelling that toxic smell." his words made everyone chuckle, and You Zhichi grabbed his ear and scolded him jokingly: "You brat, bullying big sis so soon?"


    You Xi Wang stuck out his tongue at her and ran around the gravestones as his sister chased him. After a few minutes, they both stopped andughed a bit. The shackles in their hearts were now broken.


    They paid their respects and cleaned the graves before heading back home. You Xi Wang then asked the other three: "Say you guys, what do you think about those words I engraved on the gravestones?"


    They allplimented him and the group left for home after they reached home, You Xi Wang informed everyone about his secluded training and had dinner with them. After that, he entered the cultivation room and sat down with his eyes closed in the lotus position.


    "System when I wake up after thirteen days, I want to be in spirit formation realm. Let us get to work." He instructed the system.


    [Very well master, but be prepared to handle pain] The system replied.


    You Family also implied the instructions he left before entering seclusion. The new era of change has started in You family.

 Chapter 25: Secluded Cultivation.

    Chapter 25: Secluded Cultivation.


    You Xi Wang was in a meditative state and he started cultivating ording to his cultivation technique, The Overlord as he called it. This was a technique the system tailored for him, his old technique which his predecessor used to practice was called, Strong Heart sutra, it was a technique which resonated with him in the Technique Pavillion of the school.


    The Technique Pavilion was like a library, but it only had information regarding cultivation, the knowledge regarding education and history from The Codex hall. Every school had one Technique Pavilion and one Codex hall, they were divided into levels, The Technique Pavilion was divided into nine levels, every level had nine sections simr to the cultivation realms.


    The Codex Hall had a simple system called The test system, for every new book you read you will have to answer questions from the older book you read, unlike Technique Pavillion which was mostly analog, Codex Hall was digital, you can find all you need after taking a seat in front of transparent desktops, the information you search will not be seen by others in the surrounding, the desktop had a concealment array.


    You Xi Wang absorbed spiritual energy uniformly in every section cordoned off by the system at a steady pace expanding them slowly, he was suffering from the pain yet he did not waver, he also pondered over his martial path, he used the spear intent as a base and pondered over his sword intent, the cultivation room had all the equipment and articles such as weapons, food, spare clothes, and a washroom.


    He willed his soul power to carry a sword from the rack ced inside the room to him, his eyes were closed the whole time, the sword slowly floated towards him with its tip pointing towards You Xi Wang. He flicked his wrist a bit and the sword also flipped and the hilt wasnded in his firm grip. He put the sword in hisp and felt it with his spiritual sense, he slowly stood up and with his eyes closed, he took a stance, he widened his legs and bent his knees slightly with his weight shifted onto his toes; he held his sword at the side of his waist with one hand.


    He took in a deep breath as he kept standing there in silence as if he had turned to stone, he breathing was deep and his body was steady, after an unknown amount of time a drop of sweat formed on his forehead and slowly slid down his nose, the drop of sweat concentrated on the tip of his nose and turned heavy, just when the drop was heavy enough, it dropped from his nose to the floor.


    ''Tip'' the sound of the drop falling on the floor pierced through the silence of the room and You Xi Wang also moved, he shed the sword as if he was drawing it out from a sheath and he danced simr to his dance of the war god but this time he was using back kicks and his body was also shaking. Slowly the dance also moved, the wind forming shes just like when he used the spear.


    As time passed on, the shes became sharper and the thickness of the shes also became simr. He practiced the sword for an entire day and night. He suddenly stopped and a smile formed on his sweat-covered face. He took a deep breath and meditated while standing, he stood there like a statue for three days and three nights. A glow erupted from the center of his brows and covered the sword in his hands.


    The sword vibrated and a clear ''ting'' sound echoed in the room. You Xiwang took his stance again and danced and this time his sword produced light which shed and stabbed through everything. He had officially reached the state of medium sess in the sword''s intent.


    Every weapon intent had three stages, the heart of the weapon, just like the heart of the spear You Xi Wang showcased in the duel, it was the first stage ofprehension in the intent of a weapon. The second stage was the materialization of spiritual energy in the surroundings when using the weapon, Piercing dragon was a textbook example, as the wind elemental spiritual energy formed a dragon and attack You Shan Wang. That was the medium sess and was called the materialization on intent, butmonly intent of a spear, as the medium sess stage is when a practitioner is considered being a master of intent.


    (Someone who can evoke the intent of the weapon)


    These shes were sparkling blue andprised the mixture of wind element and lightening element spiritual energy. The wind element was fast and sharp while the lightening element was famous for its destructive capabilities.


    You Xi Wang felt tired and sat down in lotus position and calmed his breath. In the whole process of swordprehension, his eyes were closed as if he was in a stance. His condition was like aputer system which has been programmed to focus only on getting stronger and cultivation. He was so deeply immersed in his attempts toprehend thews of nature, he forgot to open his eyes whileprehending the sword.


    He sat like that for the rest of the week, and on the first day of the second-week system notified him [Your spiritual pathways have been enhanced now I will connect them so be ready to brace for pain. All the best masters.]


    You Xi Wang finally opened his eyes, they were sparkling bright, and he said: "Go ahead system, I am ready." following his words the system slowly removed the barriers and undid the soul energy entrapment on his spiritual pathways, in one go, although it will be a painful process it will temper You Xi Wang''s body in bone, flesh, and viscera.


    The spiritual energy in the pathways connected with each other and forcefully merges with his flesh and bones, You Xi Wang gritted his teeth hard and clenched his fists tightly, veins popped out all over his arms, neck, and shoulders. His forehead was also covered with vines, eyes were as if made up of blood. He bit his bottom lip and it started bleeding.


    Sweat dripped from his body and his pores also opened spewing out a thick ck oily substance as if made up of lead. It stank a lot, but he did not have the luxury of time as his body emitted cracking sounds, he reached his limit and doubled over with his hands wrapped around his head, he howled in pain, scratched the floor but to no avail, he was like a wild animal trying to run away from this torment. His body had changed a lot without him noticing, he was now 183 cm tall, his muscles were no way lesser than his best friend Neo Paul.


    The processpleted in three long days, he was on the verge of killing himself to end this torture several times, but then he remembered his sister and others, who were depending on him and he depended on them.

 Chapter 26: Coming Back Stronger.

    Chapter 26: Coming Back Stronger.


    You Xi Wang lost consciousness after the pain subsided. He woke up several hourster as his enhanced body now had better recovery prowess. The system spoke: [Master, congrattions for passing through the treatment. You have now entered the peak level of the body formation realm. You can now start perceiving the spiritual energy in the surroundings and break through the next level.]


    You Xi Wang first felt the changes in his body and then he saw himself covered in an oily ck substance which was smearing his clothes, he scrunched his nose and ran to the bathroom, after he was done changing himself in a new set of training clothes he walked out and mopped the floor and then he sat down in the lotus position once more.


    ''System, how long has it been since the seclusion began?'' he asked the system as he has lost count because of his focus and pain.


    The system replied: [Master. It has been ten days since the seclusion began. Now would you stop wasting time and get on with spirit formation already, master.]


    You Xi Wang said: "I don''t like your tone, but I really don''t want to waste my time after you."


    [Weakling] sneered the system, but You Xi Wang only felt indulgent and let out a big sigh as he closed his eyes to focus on cultivation again. He focused his spiritual energy to concentrate on the center of his brows. This ce was where the spirit root or pineal nd was located. You Xi Wang focused and the spiritual energy entered the spirit root expanding it in size first and when it was big enough to explode a bulge was formed on You Xi Wang''s forehead as if a horn was about toe out from there.


    The spiritual root stopped expanding andpressed the more it ispressed, the purer the spiritual energy it can refine. You Xiwang focused his all and the system was also lending a hand to him and infused a little amount of soul power in the spirit root, making it morepressed. From the outside, it looked like a quinoa seed, but on the inside was a raging five-colored pond. This pool is called the pool of element source. Everyone usually has one or two color ponds while a founder member of the Council of Metropia had three colors and he was hailed as the strongest cultivator in the world.


    You Xiwang had five splendid colors which means he can feel and had an affinity towards all five elements in the world. Metropia had five elements, namely: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightening. And fourws: Time, Space, Life, and Death. Rules can be mastered only in the Nirvana Realm. The system predicted that a huge phenomenon will ur and it will attract unwanted attention from the elements of the dark forces. The system created a barrier of soul energy around You Xi Wang to stop the breakthrough to be witnessed by the strong entities of this world.


    The system also notified You Family to start the concealment array of the mansion to avoid all the ruckus. You say that system is very meticulous regarding stuff like this and his predictions were spot on.


    The pond inside You Xiwang''s spirit root had now settled down, but a mist slowly formed and floated over the pond. This mist was soul energy, it was not an element and neither a rule. It was an energy that can purify everything you absorb from your surrounding. People with soul energy are very rare in this world, and this was the reason they hid their talents from others.


    You Xiwang''s spirit root started absorbing the spiritual energy from the surroundings and tiny cracks started emerging over the surface. These cracks were the sign that You Xi Wang had finish decalcifying the spirit root and it is now open.


    ''CRACK'' a sound was heard in You Xi Wang''s mind. He had broken through the spirit formation realm and a five-colored halo appeared around him and the sky outside the training room also turned into five colors rainbow shocking everyone in the mansion.


    Chen Qianbei and You Zhichi were holding a meeting regarding some matters of Tianlong Technologies, both of them were startled when the spiritual energy in the surroundings went erratic and then suddenly harmonized again, Five colored mist covered the whole mansion but thanks to the concealment array it looked normal from the outside.


    You Naixin ran towards the epicenter of the phenomenon, she reached the room where You Xi Wang was cultivating. She had a prideful look when she realized who and what caused this phenomenon, but just as she was ted, something happened. The five-colored mist flowed inside the room at a quick speed. She became concerned as she was worried that if You Xi Wang absorbed all this spiritual mist, he might injure himself as his Spiritual pathways were narrower than the average.


    Just as she was about to barge in You Zhichi and Chen Qianbei appeared at her side, they saw You Naixin was about to barge inside the room, You Zhichi held her hand and gave her an assuring nce and said: "Don''t worry Granny Xin he is fine, trust him."


    You Naixin did not believe her and said: "Zhichi, your brother was born with narrower spiritual pathways. He should not be absorbing all this spiritual mist, he will injure himself or worse cripple his martial potential. We need to stop him. Let go of my hand, dear, please."


    Chen Qianbei joined in the conversation and spoke softly: "Elder Xin, Xiwang is a soul energy practitioner, do not worry, he told me before entering the seclusion that, he will expand his spiritual pathways by using soul energy, have some faith in him and he will not fail you."


    You Naixin was reluctant to agree, but Chen Qianbei was one realm stronger than her, she had no choice but to agree with them, but she adamantly stated that she will guard the door until You Xi Wanges out by himself and will not hesitate from breaking in, in case something bad happened.


    For the next four days, You Xi Wang did nothing other than nurturing his body with five elements of spiritual energy. He started with his bones making them all shine with a five colored glint, then his blood making it purer and vigorous, then his veins by providing them endurance, then his brain enhancing his intelligence, his sensory organs honing them to the peak, his flesh making it clearer and stronger as if made of jade,stly he focused the leftover spiritual energy onto his spirit root making it grow from the size of a quinoa seed to a pumpkin seed but the inside of the seed was clearer than before.


    Time passed in a blink and You Xi Wang stayed immersed in amassing the spirit energy inside his spirit root. On thest day of his seclusion, the pond inside his spirit root grew ten times the size it was initially. This signified his breakthrough to level two of spirit formation realms.


    You Xiwang opened his eyes and five vibrant colors shone inside his pupils. He stood up and entered the bathroom, he took a shower before he walked towards the door and opened it, and walked out. You Naixin, who was meditating outside noticed the clicking sound of the door and immediately sprang up in alert. She calmed down when she found You Xi Wang standing in front of her while smiling sheepishly.


    "Granny Xin, it has been hard on you." he became warm in his heart that his grandma was meditating outside as she was concerned over his well being. He walked up and bent down slightly as he hugged her. He teased her again: "Granny, I am a head taller than you now. You look even cuter now." his words acted like a foot stepping on a cats tail and You Naixin grabbed and twisted his ear with a smirk on her face as she said: "brat you are still my grandson and I am going to spank you even if you be a father and your kids are as big as you." the duo kept ying the teasing game for some time and suddenly You Naixin got emotional which made tears form in her eyes, You Xiwang asked her what happened and she said while wiping her tears: "You reminded of your parents and that''s all. I am alright."


    "Granny, call everyone in the main hall, please. I want to know the progress of our ns," said You Xi Wang as his demeanor changed from a pampered child to that of a King.

 Chapter 27: The Expansion Begins.

    Chapter 27: The Expansion Begins.


    You Naixin left after she informed all the elders to gather in the main hall and report the status of their respective tasks. You Xi Wang went to his room and took out a change of clothes. The clothes in this world were all very special, they all had a small number of nanobots sewed with the clothing and they would alter the attire to fit the wearer perfectly. You Xi Wang now had broad shoulders, and he was also taller. He wore a jet ck buttoned-down shirt paired with a steel gray trouser. He changed his Holo-phone strap to a more watch-like a silver band which had around the disy as its main interaction screen. He matched it with his trouser and wore ck shoes and a ck belt.


    You Xi Wang was about to exit his room when he saw a starry-eyed Emily entering the room and diving straight into his arms. She rubbed her head in his broad chest like a kitten and said in a shy voice: "Young master, I missed you so much, are you okay do you need anything to eat? Your seclusion was sessful, right?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and stroked her hair gently as he said: "Yes, I am fine and the seclusion was also sessful, I would eatter together with Chichi, you and Susan. I hope she is fine? ording to my understanding of hers, she must have been ming herself for my condition that night."


    Emily smiled and replied: "Yes, although aunty Qianbei said it is okay and she should not me her, but after the meeting when you entered seclusion without meeting her she thought you are upset with her. She even wanted to leave the mansion, but Zhichi stopped her by saying that you would meet her after youe out of seclusion. She has been going to work anding back here daily, but I haven''t seen her smile like she usually did."


    You Xi Wang frowned and said: "After the meeting today I will talk to her and don''t tell her I came out, I will surprise her." You Xi Wang looked at Emily who was also looking into his eyes and they both kissed each other. His hands trailed her curves as she let out small moans and whimpers in his mouth. After a few minutes, they stopped and Emily had a blushed face. She fixed You Xiwang''s clothes while avoiding eye contact with him. This scene looked like a dutiful wife pampering her husband.


    The two of them made eye contact again, but a sweet voice sounded out from the door, making them jump away from each other. "Xi Wang may Ie in or maybeter if you and Emily are having some muah-muah time?" they jumped away from each other like scared cats turning their faces red as tomatoes..


    You Zhichi who was outside the room has arrived at the moment she saw Emily rushing in, thinking of something she gave them some space, but she was an elder sister it was her instinct and right to make fun of her younger brother, so unable to stop herself she called them out bluntly.


    You Xiwang came out after opening the door and Emily followed him as he said: "Big Sis, are you reading too many of those ''Ladies'' magazines? Let''s go to the meeting already, all the elders are waiting." his cheeks were slightly tinted with red. He was a boy, and he was never in a rtionship in his past life. In this life, he had three girlfriends but was not an adult, the icing on the cake, he had a big sister, who, regardless of all the love and care she showered him with, would tease him whenever it came to his girlfriends.


    Watching You Xi Wang running away his sisterughed and felt content, Emily, who saw this rolled her eyes and said: "Zhichi grow up." only to be the next target as You Zhichi said: "Oh, sis-inw, how should I grow up? By licking someone''s face so hard that my lip color fades away?" Emily never imagined You Zhichi to be so naughty and her face flushed and she hid it with her hands and turned away. You Zhichi moved closer to her and said coyly: "Young master, I missed you."


    Emily turned to face her and held her waist as she said: "It''s time to discipline my Sis-inw" and she started tickling her best friend. Theirughter echoed in the corridor and only stopped when Chen Qianbei came looking for them to head over to the main hall.


    ...


    You Xiwang entered the hall with his head held high. He nodded to the elders one by one and took his seat. He said in a firm voice: "Let us begin. What is the status of the things we decided onst time?"


    You Qiangda the first elder stood up and said: "Xiao Wang, we thought if we shelter beggars and orphans with no proper reason, it might raise suspicion of the council of Metropia and also our hidden enemies." he took a pause and continued: "We established a foundation in your mother''s name which will take in orphans and poor children while providing them with all the basic provisions such as education, medical facilities, and martial training. We will conduct examinations after every three months to gauge their growth, and also they all willingly took heavenly oaths."


    You Xiwang nodded and said: "This is a good idea, first grandpa. Thank you for your hard work."


    You Qiangda stepped back and sat down on his chair with a content smile. You Zhenshi the fifth elder stood up next and said: "Xiao Wang the deal with Dimitri Ivanovich has beenpleted and we received the first consignment of Lithical Iron a week ago. It was handed over to You Zhichi and Chen Qianbei. I also made Dimitri Ivanovich take a heavenly oath."


    You Xiwang nodded with a smile and said cheerfully: "Fifth Grandpa, you took off a great burden away from my shoulders, I wanted to make Ivanovich swear in the name of the heavens but I did not find a suitable opportunity. This will ensure that he does not go out and stir up trouble. Thank you very much on behalf of the family."


    He then turned to look at his sister who sat by his side and she said: "The motherboard has been prepared and the patent has been registered, also every single person working in thepany took a blood oath of secrecy and also took and heavenly oath."


    He smiled in satisfaction: "This is thanks to mom and dadying a good foundation and treated the people like family."


    Chen Qianbei smiled and step forward: "Chen group will like to ce an order for the newputer designed by Tianlong Technologies."


    You Xiwang agreed happily and said: "Aunt it will be done and you get a special discount, Chichi, n an advertising campaign for this product. Granny Xin, you are responsible for the martial education of those children in the foundation along with sixth and seventh grandpa. As for remaining people, please look after the youth of the family and teach them your ways. You Family will expand to Croma City in six months. Any objections?"


    "NO YOUNG MASTER, GLORY TO YOU FAMILY" a resolute shout responded his question. The meeting ended.

 Chapter 28: Oath of love.

    Chapter 28: Oath of love.


    You Xi Wang asked everyone to take some rest and not to overexert themselves. After some short talk with some family members, he left the main hall. He told You Zhichi that he was going out to meet Dr. Susan before he called Robert to drive him to the hospital.


    You Xi Wang sat inside the car and gazed outside the window. After a minute it urred to him and he said to Robert: "Do we have any flower shops on the way I want to buy some flowers for Susan."


    Robert nodded and drove the maglev to a flower shop and parked the car in front. You Xi Wang alighted and looked around at the various flowers, some were like the flowers in his old world while some were different. After looking around for a few minutes he decided on ny-nine blue roses like a flower bouquet. This flower was called ''Ciel d''amour'' in the Frenchnguage, this meant sky of love, the logic was simple, it was blue like the sky and its smell had a calming effect on one''s heart.


    You Xi Wang paid for the bouquet and boarded his car again, heading to the hospital. They arrived at the destination in ten minutes. After the vehicle was parked Robert followed his Young master to the reception and made the inquiry about Dr. Susan. The receptionist who was a genial looking middle-ageddy noticed You Xi Wang was holding a beautiful bouquet in his hands and she gave him a knowing smile as she informed them about Dr. Susan''s whereabouts. Just as You Xi Wang was about to pass her, she said: "All the best, Lad" You Xi Wang turned to her and smiled while replying: "Thank you."


    You Xi Wang and Robert arrived in front of a cabin which had its door closed and saw a namete hanging from it, saying ''Dr. Susan Watson- Attending Physician''. He turned and signaled Robert to stand guard as he knocked on the door. Robert nodded, and they heard a voice from inside which sounded like a ghost''s scowl: "Come in." he gulped and pushed the door open slowly and took a deep breath as he entered and closed the door from inside.


    Robert who stood on the outside mumbled: "Damn, our young war god was looking nervous, I am d I stayed single."


    ...


    Inside the room Dr. Susan had her gaze fixed to holographic picture hovering in front of her, It was a picture taken during the banquet party You Xi Wang held her waist and she leaned her head on his shoulder as a serene smile adorned her face and her eyes looked content. She would open this picture whenever she had free time in the past two weeks, she felt very warm when everyone in You family consoled her and did not me her for You Xi Wang''s condition at all, her mother was also very grateful and gave her approval and blessings for finding You Xi Wang as her beloved, but she still could not get that sight of his pale looking face out of her mind and whenever she remembered why he ended up like that tears would start falling from her eyes uncontrobly.


    It has only been a few moments since she answered the door and she was already immersed in gazing at the picture forgetting about everything, she did not know why she had loved You Xiwang so much in such a short time but something about him made her feel like he was someone she could rely on, someone with whom she can share all her feelings, doubts and secrets, the way he acted cheekily and how he easily blushed when teased, she liked everything about him.


    She mumbled in a low voice to herself: "I am so sorry for hurting you Xi Wang, I told you, I am not good enough for you and that I will end up making a mess. See what has happened now." tears fell unceasingly from her gem-like eyes. Suddenly she sat upright when she heard a soft and calm voice behind her saying in a mellow tone.


    "Don''t doubt yourself, for I will always trust you.


    You are not in the wrong, my darling, I still love you."


    You Xi Wang moved closer to her and took her hand and helped her stand up from her chair and continued,


    "The shards of broken hope dropping from your eyes pierce through this heart of mine.


    Rein in your grief, my love, for we are fated to be together till the end of time."


    He now slowly moved his arms engulfing her slender waist and embraced her in his arms and continued, this time his voice was smooth like silk and it went straight to her heart


    "When you smile blooms like a flower, it fills my soul with a blissful desire.


    Don''t you worry about anything, my dear, for you I will happily walk through the seas of fire."


    Dr. Susan buried her face into his chest as tears kept falling on his shirt making it slightly wet, You Xi Wang kept stroking her back slowly with a smile on his face and said: "Did you thought I would hate you after that night, Susie?" his voice was filled with love and warmth, Susan nodded and he said: "You are such a dummy, look at me,"


    Susan reflexively raised her head, and You Xi Wang moved his head close to her and touched her forehead with his own and while looking straight into her eyes said: "I may be many things, but I am not narrow-minded enough to hate you over something which was my mistake and that night I left so quickly because I knew you would not pay attention to your mom if you kept worrying about my condition."


    Susan wanted to say something, but stopped and kissed You Xi Wang on his lips and said after breaking away: "Xi Wang my entire being belongs to you, I swear to the heavens that in this world, I will follow no one else and I will only be loyal to you and you only, my love, my soul, my body, everything is yours." and before he could object she kissed him and lightning shed in the sky witnessing her oath of love.


    You Xi Wang broke away from the kiss and spoke to her: "I, You Xi Wang, swear in the name of my blood that I will always have a ce for you in my heart and no one will ever rece you in my life, I will ask no disrespectful thing of you."


    They both just stood there in each other''s embrace.

 Chapter 29: Confrontation Within.

    Chapter 29: Confrontation Within.


    Susan was smiling sweetly as You Xi Wang held her in his embrace. They both were wrapped around each other like clothes on a body, they kissed and felt each other with no constraint. His wrist band vibrated, and he saw his sister calling him. He distanced himself and picked up the call.


    "Bro, your future inws are here, along with your girlfriend, they want to meet you. Aunt and Granny Xin are attending them. Get home soon." You Zhichi sounded excited.


    "Say, big sis, why do you sound like taking pleasure in my misery." You Xi Wang said in a depressed tone, only to hear his sisterugh in delight.


    "Who told you to get yourself all three of them altogether?" You Zhichi teased him again.


    "Okay, fine, just you wait, I remember that Zack O''Neill got hots for you, I will support him. Then we will see who willugh." You Xi Wang teased his sister by using the name of the School hunk, who always pester his sister, and she would just ignore him.


    "Bro, I am sorry, I will not tease you again... Sob." You Zhichi sounded depressed and there was a tiny sobbing sound that made her brother panic.


    "Big sis, don''t cry I was joking, please, I beg you don''t cry. I will never do that ever again, I will kill that ''numb nut'' if he pestered you ever again. I am sorry. I aming home right now." he hurriedly disconnected the call and grabbed Susan''s hand and looking into her eyes, he continued speaking, "We need to head home. Forgive me, I will make it up to youter."


    Susan shook her head and said, "It is fine, let''s not worry about making it up to me, what you did earlier was enough."


    They both fixed their clothes and moved out holding hands. You Xi Wang turned to Robert and said, "Get us home, ASAP."


    Robert felt a sense of urgency in his voice and sprang into action. The trio was out in a few seconds and just like a gust of wind they boarded the vehicle and it started moving towards their destination with a whoosh.


    They arrived in front of the mansion in just a few minutes, thanks to Robert driving as if his life depended on it. The vehicle entered the parking area and a shadow burst forth from it, it was You Xi Wang and he ran at his fastest speed heading to his sister''s room. He knocked on the door, but no one answered and this silence from the other side was like a banshee''s cry to him, piercing through his heart.


    You Xi Wang used his special ess and entered the room. He searched for it, but his sister was not here. He was getting anxious with every passing moment. He came out of the room and he saw a maid walking by, he stopped her and asked in a shaky voice, "Have you seen big sis?"


    The maid replied, "Young master, Miss is in the guest hall." she heard him shouting ''thank you'' as he ran towards the guest hall. After he reached the guest hall, he saw his sister, whose back was facing him, and her body was slightly trembling. He thought she was crying.


    Every other human being inside the hall vanished from his sight and he walked towards You Zhichi, he stood in front of her and knelt and mmed his head straight on the marble flooring with a BANG the floor cracked from the impact, blood started flowing out and he said in a shaky voice, "Please forgive me, big sis I swear, I will never tease you, I am a fool, please don''t hate me, I beg you.." he was now crying like a child, You Zhichi was shocked to see him react like this and so was everyone else.


    Chen Qianbei gained herposure back, and she quickly tried to pick him up from the floor but he did not budge, she turned and red at You Zhichi, everyone in the room was aware how she teased her brother and when he retorted she acted as if she got hurt and after that, he hung up and hurried here, they never imagined him to bang his head on the floor in apology.


    You Zhichi sensed the re from her aunt and quickly helped her to pick You Xi Wang said, "I am not upset or hurt look at me, I was just acting." she held his face with her palms and raised it so he could see her, but all she saw was her brother crying tears of blood.


    You Xi Wang was influenced by his predecessor''s remnant soul sense. His predecessor inside, he was crying in grief and trying to take control while the system was busy preventing that. Soul sense was like instincts of the dead soul they gained strength from their emotions. The previous You Xi Wang depended on his family for emotional support, and that was the reason he died from shock.


    After merging with the new soul, this predecessor''s soul sense had been growing stronger by absorbing You Xi Wang''s emotions and was now detected by the system and thus began the struggle. It was this soul sense which made You Xi Wang react the way he did. This very moment he was asleep while the system has been confronting this soul sense inside the spirit pond.


    They were not engaged in hand to handbat, but a logical argument of who should stay in this body. As they both noticed You Zhichi and others getting worried for You Xi Wang.


    The system stated, "Do you not know how you used to make them worry in the past and now just in a few minutes you gathered enough energy, you did it again. Are you not ashamed of yourself? Look at your sister who is crying so much after watching all the blood, tears on our face."


    The predecessor''s soul sense sneered and said, "So what this was my body before you came and took control also they are my family why are you so worried?"


    The system sighed, "I was worried when you said logical discussion but now let''s go. They are your family? Where were you when your sister faced everything alone? You wereying in a hospital and did nothing other than die-off in shock. I took your ce and took care of these people, but what did you do?"


    "You were and you still are only a worthless crybaby. What do you want to do now? Come back again and made your family cry to their deaths until you grow up and ept your fate. Nobody else was at fault. Okay, you piece of shit, died when you did not even have energy."


    The systemshed out hard which made the remnant soul-sense calm down a little, the system pushed forward and said, "I have a proposition, are you interested?"


    The soul-sense hesitated but agreed to listen to what the system was proposing. The system said, "Why not let me merge with youpletely? This way you can still be me and I will be you in the true sense."


    The soul-sense pondered and asked, "Does that mean, I will cease to exist?"


    The system replied bluntly, "Yes, but we both will be one. There will be no you or me."


    The remnant soul heaved a sigh and agreed. The soul sense knew that it cannot survive alone and merging was the only way possible. The system started the process and You Xi Wang in the real-world woke up.


    He looked around and found his sister shedding tears, he hurriedly hugged her and said, "Don''t cry big sis, I overreacted and right now my brain just got upgraded. Sorry."


    He consoled her and others too. After a few minutes, a servant came in and informed, "Young master, Council official Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Yuki are here to meet you. Should I bring them here?"


    The siblings looked at each other andughed a bit.

 Chapter 30: Meeting With The In-Laws.

    Chapter 30: Meeting With The In-Laws.


    You Zhichi, gestured the servant to bring the guests in the guest hall. She fixed her clothes and wiped her teary face. You Xi Wang waved his hand and conjured a ball of water out of thin air, sshed both himself and his sister with the ball of water, but before she could even react, she felt a gust of hot air circling around her like a cyclone and her clothes dried up quickly and her face was also cleaned.


    Chen Qianbei and You Naixin exchanged nces, You Xi Wang just used three elements in that process, which was rare. You Xi Wang moved to the spot where he mmed his head and stepped over the cracked marble floor. He focused a bit and concentrated his spiritual energy on the sole of his feet and the crack fixed itself. His action stunted all three females in the room. He turned with a smile on his face and said, "We will talkter, the guests are here."


    He finished his words and took a seat on the single chair and crossed his right leg over the other left, ced his elbows over the armrests, and leaned back slightly with a calm face. You Zhichi sat beside him on a chair simr to his while his aunt and grandma sat on a joint sofa. The servant led Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma inside the hall with Ushijima Yuki in tow.


    Takeshi Kinben was wearing a gray-ck yukata, while he carried a samurai sword on his side, his ck hair was done in a traditional samurai-style called the Chonmage. He had slit-like narrow gray eyes apanied by straight, thin eyebrows, a sharp nose, and butt chin. He looked good. He gave off a warm aura.


    Ushijima Choma was wearing a floral print white kimono, she was holding a fan in her palm, her ck hair was tied in a different Shimadamage style. She had almond-shaped eyes were deep and ck, she had long eyebrows that curved downwards at the end. Her face was like a painting, no words were enough to describe her beauty, pointed yet the small chin, a small pointed nose, petal-like nose.


    Ushijima Yuki was wearing a modern style white one-piece knee-length skirt which was embroidered with silver flower patterns, paired with white slip-on sneakers. She was looking like a Barbie doll You Xi Wang had in his old world.


    You Xiwang stood up and took a step forward and cupped his right fist with his left palm and bowed a little, "Wee to You family, please pardon me for not receiving you all personally, I was amidst something important." he spoke in a tone arrogant firm nor too arrogantly.


    Takeshi Kinben nodded in approval as You Xi Wang showed him courtesy, yet his voice was firm. He looked towards his wife and she disyed a rare smile and said, "Young master You, don''t worry, we should be the one apologizing to you as we arrived unannounced. We hope you don''t mind the intrusion."


    You Xi Wang smiled and gestured them to take a seat as he was about to move towards the table his aunt gave him a mental message to him, "Xi Wang go back and sit, your sister will serve the tea. You are now Head of the family, you have an image to maintain." without a change in his face, he went to his chair and sat down while smiling calmly.


    You Zhichi smiled and moved towards the table and started making tea for the guests, Ushijima Choma spoke first, "Please ept our condolences for losing your parents."


    You Xi Wang replied, "Thank you."


    Ushijima Yuki then asked, "Young master You, my daughter told me she is now in a rtionship with you, while you already have two more women already. Why do you think we should allow your rtionship with her? If someone has over one woman courts your sister will you allow that?"


    The atmosphere instantly turned cold and You Xi Wang''s smile disappeared while his eyes chilled, Ushijima Choma felt surprised and You Xiwang still said, "If my sister loves someone, regardless of his status and women, I will support her but if that man dared to hurt her, make her sad even for a second, I will make him realize that death would be better than living after hurting my sister. Also, I love Yuki, she has the same emotions towards me too. So, let''s get to the point, what do I need to do to earn your approval."


    His straight forward attitude came like a tornado and Takeshi Kinben finally spoke, "First,pare the art of the sword with me and second..."


    "Give the position of your first wife to my daughter." Ushijima Chomapleted her husband''s words.


    You Zhichi offered them tea to both of the guests while she gave a warm smile to Ushijima Yuki, who was rather nervous at this moment.


    You Xiwang leaned forward and his eyes contacted Takeshi Kinben and he spoke with an unhurried voice, "I willpare the art of sword with you, sir." then he turned to Ushijima Choma and continued, "I understand you are her parents and are concerned for her future, then let me assure you I love all my women equally and they all know it better than you do. They can call each other elder sister or younger sister after they understand each other. Also, I told Yuki about the other two before I proposed to her."


    Ushijima Choma turned to her daughter who nodded, She was about to say something when You Naixin spoke, "Madam Ushijima, you do not have to worry, our child is very talented and is an honest man, know myte nephew and niece-inw, he has their blood running through his body and he won''t taint their name. Also, I can swear a heavenly oath to assure you."


    Chen Qianbei also nodded, You Xi Wang spoke in a soft voice, "Yuki do you love me?" everyone turned silent and Ushijima Yuki replied with a nod as she looked into his eyes, he spoke again, "Do you trust me?" she replied again


    "Your daughter is blessed with the divine eye of the heart, she can see if someone is lying. I hope you know that." he continued, Ushijima Choma sighed and said, "I am aware of that, well then I will trust her judgment and allow you two to be together but the match is still needed, it is a family ritual."


    You Xi Wang said, "Very well, let''s do it now." he turned to his sister and said, "Big sis, can you find me a good sword." who smiled and nodded as she left the hall to get him a sword. You Xi Wang turned to You Naixin and said, "Granny Xin the arena, can I ask you to look if it is prepared?" she just stroked his head and left to make the arrangements. You Xi Wang also asked Chen Qianbei to make a recording of this match secretly through telepathy.


    A new battle was about to begin.

 Chapter 31: Phoenix Draw.

    Chapter 31: Phoenix Draw.


    You Xi Wang led everyone in the arena and saw some disciples were exiting the ce. He beacons one of them and said, "Why don''t you guys sit around and watch? You all need to learn a lot, so use this spar as a live session. We are not fighting in aspects of cultivation, but the art of the sword."


    The disciple looked towards Takeshi Kinben who merely nodded, the disciple bowed and went back to his group and they all texted the others toe. Soon the whole observation area was filled.


    You Zhichi arrived with Emily in tow, she was holding a white sword in her hand, she passed it to her brother, You Xi Wang kept gazing at the sheathed sword and his eyes were nk, his system has suppressed the predecessor''s soul sense but the memories and emotion he inherited from his predecessor were still a part of his being.


    The sword was a Chinese long sword, two inches wide, three feet tall, the guard was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings, the phoenix tail was coiled along the hilt. The sheath of the swordprised white marble stone, he held the sheath in his hand and pulled out the sword slightly. The ck sword de was visible. You Xi Wang dropped a gear and sheathed the sword again.


    "Purgatory" he whispered in a slow voice, You Naixin came forward and patted his shoulder lightly and he came back to his senses. She smiled and said, "It was your dad''s, now it belongs to you. Remember, the sword is a part of you and not the other way around Xi Wang."


    "Yes, granny. Mr Takeshi, let''s get it over with." You Xi Wang said and moved to the center of the field.


    Takeshi Kinben followed him and moved to the center of the field. They stood facing each other and Takeshi Kinben said, "If you stand my attacks for five minutes, you win."


    You Xi Wang only nodded and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and raised his sword to his side. It was still sheathed. Takeshi Kinben was a little irritated when he saw You Xi Wang closes his eye.


    You Naixin acted as a referee, and she said, "Go."


    Takeshi Kinben moved in a blink and his sword left its sheath and he shed right at You Xi Wang''s chest without hesitation while You Xi Wang was still standing like a buddha in meditation, just as the sword was about to rip through him, his right hand which was gripping the sword shed and like a blink a white shadow blocked Takeshi Kinben''s attack.


    Takeshi Kinben was surprised as he did not expect You Xi Wang to have such fast reflexes, Chen Qianbei who was standing beside Ushijima Choma smiled a bit as she realized how You Xi Wang blocked that attack while Ushijima Choma was the same and said with a surprised tone, "Young master You is talented, I missed the duelst time but didn''t expect him to be a sword user."


    Emily, who was standing behind Chen Qianbei and Ushijima Choma along with You Zhichi and Ushijima Yuki, heard this and couldn''t stop herself from speaking, "Forgive me if I am speaking out of term, but Madam Ushijima, our Young master practices in both spear and sword, he is also proficient with bow and arrow."


    Ushijima Choma knew You Xi Wang had two more women, but she was unaware of their identities. She turned and was about to scold the maid when her daughter Ushijima Yuki held Emily''s hand and made the introductions, "Mom, this is big sis Emily, Xiwang''s first girlfriend."


    You Zhichi also chimed in and said, "She might wear the head maid''s outfit but she is like a sister to me and a daughter to my mother." her voice was soft but her intention was crystal clear. She was warning Ushijima Choma so, that she doesn''t mess with Emily.


    Ushijima Choma looked at her from head to toe and she realized that this girl in front of her was also in the spirit formation realm, and her foundation was strong, her shoulders were slightly shivering from facing her but her eyes were firm and resolute. She understood how strong her feelings for You Xi Wang were, and she nodded to acknowledge her.


    Dr. Susan also arrived and looked around, she quickly located Chen Qianbei standing there and she moved towards her, she bowed slightly and spoke with an apologetic smile, "Aunt, I am sorry for beingte."


    Chen Qianbei shook her head slightly and gestured her to stand with You Zhichi and others. Susan looked at Ushijima Choma and bowed before moving to greet others, she hugged Emily and whispered something in her ears which made her giggle, You Zhichi was also curious and went forward, Ushijima Yuki stealthily crept close too only to be dragged in a hug by Susan who greeted her with joy and whispered something to her too which caused her to giggle too.


    She was also introduced by Ushijima Yuki to her mother and Susan greeted her mother with a smile and bow, just as Ushijima Choma was about to say something she heard a loud CLANG sound and turned her head to see that You Xi Wang had now opened his eyes and blocked her husband''s attack again. This whole time he has been dodging and blocking his attacks.


    A smile formed on You Xi Wang''s lips and he said, "It''s my turn to attack."


    He distanced himself from Takeshi Kinben and exhaled hard, his left hand mped the sheath of his sword and he bent down a little, he ced his right foot forward and held the sword hilt with his right hand and spoke slowly, "Phoenix draw"


    His hand flicked and a shadow as ck as the night sky shed horizontally and a ck sh formed attacking Takeshi Kinben in a blink. Everyone else only saw a ck line forming in front of Takeshi Kinben. He could not counter, that was how fast the sh was, he had no choice and circted his spiritual energy. He covered his sword de with the Spiritual energy and countered the iing sh, but even after this it was only nullified, he could not attack You Xi Wang without making another move. No matter how fast you are, there is still a time dy before you can attack again without using the martial technique.


    You Xi Wang used this slight dy and appeared in front of Takeshi Kinben while his sword rested on thetter''s shoulder. Takeshi Kinben was shocked and stood there like a statue. The whole arena was so silent that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.


    Ushijima looked at her husband''s face and saw his shock, she remembered how he defeated her father and he had the same reaction as his back then, she let out a giggle and everybody came out of their stupor and no one knows who pped first but thunderous apuse followed quickly after that.


    "I heard you were strong but taking me down in one move, I feel thrilled to have sparred against you, son-inw." Takeshi Kinben sheathed his sword and epted his defeat with grace.

 Chapter 32: A Happy Cooperation.

    Chapter 32: A Happy Cooperation.


    Takeshi Kinben sheathed his sword and gave a pat on You Xi Wang''s back as he said, "Take care of my Yuki. She is a good kid." thetter replied with a nod and walked towards his family.


    Just as he was about to talk further You Ziyou walked up to him and whispered something in his ear, his eyes turned cold and he said in a somber voice, "Granny attend to the guests, I have something urgent that needs my attention, Aunt, youe with me, please." he turned to Ushijima Choma and Takeshi Kinben and continued, "I apologize but something very urgent came up and I need to leave." his eyes were cold, yet his voice was sincere.


    The couple nodded and Ushijima Choma said, "You don''t have to be formal with us now, you are my daughter''s future husband. We will talk with your sister and granny before we leave. Take care of your duties with no hesitation."


    After hearing this You Xi Wang turned and walked away with You Ziyou and Chen Qianbei following him, they have headed to You family guest hall. The reason was that You Family men secretly apprehended a big shot in Miria Group.


    "How did we nab this guy?" asked You Xi Wang to his grandfather.


    He replied, "Three Days ago a spy of our family, You Wusheng, was following a person called Kojiro Shinrai, an assistant manager in Mirai group, our spy scanned his maglev and found that it was also simrly tempered with just when he was about to board the vehicle Wusheng appeared and brought him here in secret, they just arrived when your sparring session began so I told you afterward."


    You Xi Wang nodded and headed towards the guest hall while speaking, "He was to be murdered, you say, there are only two possibilities, first, he offended that person inside Mirai Group by some action of his, second, he knows something he shouldn''t or he knows too much that he has be a liability for them."


    Both the elders gave a positive response, and they arrived in the guest hall. You Xiwang saw a slim man who had beady eyes, a triangr face as if a viper transformed into a human, a sharp nose, thin lips thick brows, he wore spectacles, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were full of wrinkles and dirty. He was obviously Kojiro Shinrai. Beside him sat a man wearing casual clothes yet his mannerism had been formal, his face was typical, someone you can easily forget, maybe that is the reason he was a spy, a usualmoner like body and aura, yet You Xi Wang knew this was all a facade to mislead enemies. This man was You Wusheng.


    You Wusheng stood up and gave a deep bow towards You Ziyou, he nced at You Xi Wang but ignored him, he did not acknowledge a kid as his family''s head, he was not here when the duel happened but when he heard about it he thought it was all over-exaggerated. His action pissed You Ziyou and Chen Qianbei but before any of them could say anything they saw You Xi Wang walking towards Kojiro Shinrai with a calm face. He nced at the servant was there to attend to them and said in a calm tone, "This guest hall is sealed for cleaning, lead the guests to other halls. You understand, right?" the servant shivered when he felt a chill lingering in his voice and nodded. He hurried outside and sealed the hall.


    You Xi Wang looked towards Chen Qianbie and said, "Aunt, I want a barrier around this room." she flicked her hand and produced a spiritual energy barrier capable of suppressing prying eyes and ears and sounds from inside.


    You Xi Wang stood in front of Kojiro Shinrai and a smile surfaced on his lips, he saw a teapot filled with hot tea ced on the table, he picked it up and turned to his "guest" and asked politely, "Sir, you look exhausted, may I serve you some tea?" You Wusheng scoffed in disdain and turned his face around the felt ashamed to have this kid in his sight, but You Ziyou and Chen Qianbei were very calm. Kojiro Shinrai nodded and said, "Thank you."


    Just as he was thinking how courteous You family was his left ear was grabbed and he felt a liquid being poured in his ear. A momentter it felt like burning and he screamed which shook the adults inside the hall. You Xi Wang knew that this guy is a cultivator even though he was only a mid-level body formation cultivator he could resist heat from tea easily, so he infused fire elemental spiritual energy in the tea and poured it down his ear.


    He kept pouring and Kojiro Shinrai kept screaming, but his voice fell on deaf ears. Soon the pot was empty You Xi Wang again smiled and spoke in a joy-full voice, "Sir would you like anything else or..." his voice suddenly turned cold and his smile vanished and his face was now like a stone with no fluctuation, his gaze was a blizzard, he leaned towards Kojiro Shinrai and spoke slowly, "What made Mirai Group target a useless waste of flesh like you?"


    Kojiro Shinrai shook his head in denial and another smile emerged on You Xi Wang''s face and others felt shivers down their spines as this kid looked like he was having fun. You Xi Wang then said, "The tea was hot, sir, might feel hot and want to feel cold, don''t worry sir, I will help you." Kojiro Shinrai thought he was about to be frozen by some cold water but that did not happen. What happened made him realize that dying at Miria Group''s hand was better than being alive in front of You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang grabbed his shirt and tore it off, and spoke with a grin on his face, "Still feeling hot sir, maybe it is your skin that we need to take off of you." he focused his spirit energy, and a wind de formed in his hand, he yed Kojiro Shinrai alive from his fingers to the neck, the process was very disturbing, Kojiro Shinrai had the skin on his fingertips sliced and slowly the de moved upward, the hall was filled with dreadful screams and smell of blood. After five minutes both his arms were yed and Kojiro Shinrai was now begging, "Please kill me, I will tell you everything but please I beg you don''t hurt me anymore. It was CEO, Mr. Edward Colt, who is a part of Shadow Council, he wanted to buy something from your parents but they were not ready and also rejected the invitation to join Shadow Council. He also lusted over your mother but his approach only earned him disdain. He has also harmed a lot of women in thepany. The board could do nothing because he has the backing of the Dark Dwellers."


    He spits out everything, from rapes to illegal transactions made by Edward Colt. You Xi Wang looked towards the others and stabbed the de in Kojiro Shinrai''s chest and started moving it and formed a circle around the heart region. He ripped off the skin, and a heart appeared in another''s sight. He reached inside the open chest and grabbed the beating heart and carefully brought it out and showed it to Kojiro Shinrai with a yful smile.


    Kojiro Shinrai was in so much pain that he could not even groan, let alone scream. He saw the smile on You Xi Wang''s face and said, "You... You are a demon... Edward Colt will not forgive you."


    His words made You Xi Wang smile, he spoke directly in Kojiro Shinrai''s mind, "You filthy insect, I destroyed the soul seal he ced on you the moment I entered this hall. He won''t know anything, Wusheng is in a disguise. Your sacrifice is down in the sewer you crawled out from, I will kill Edward Colt and everyone rted to my parent''s death."


    He chuckled and spoke in a loud voice, "Tell Yama, You family sends their regards and that I hope he will not hate me for sending trash to his kingdom. May we have happy cooperation?"


    He killed Kojiro Shinrai by crushing his heart into a bloody mess.

 Chapter 33: Reunion.

    Chapter 33: Reunion.


    The whole hall was shrouded with a deathly silence, Chen Qianbei and You Ziyou stood in a stupor, You Wusheng also could not wrap his mind around what just happened, even though they all witnessed the whole process they still could not believe how easily You Xi Wang, this 16 years old polite looking teenager killed that man so brutally, even made him beg for death. They were pale when they imagined how much pain did he suffer.


    You Xi Wang stood up slowly, waved his hands and cleaned all the bloodstains over his body with spiritual energy, while he still nced at the dead body with a hole in the chest lying on the floor by his feet. He turned to face three people inside the hall and said, "Investigate everyone rted to Edward Holt, investigate what they do, who they know, where they live, everything and everyone from a child to old monsters, from dogs to what do they shit in the morning. I want everything in front of me in a week. Is. That. Clear?"


    You Wusheng nodded and bowed deeply to him, You Xi Wang moved to the exit without saying another word Chen Qianbie took down the barrier and followed him, she said nothing to him as she was also shared his hatred for the one who killed his sister- and brother-inw. You Ziyou stayed behind to n. He did not know how to face his grandson right now.


    You Xi Wang exited the hall and saw Ushijima Choma and Takeshi Kinben standing there with a look of askance on their faces, You Xi Wang hid nothing and said, "I just killed a guy involved in my parent''s murder. By the rules of the council, I can take revenge against those who harm me or my family."


    Takeshi Kinben said with a smile, "We know that and do not worry about us making things difficult for you, but why did you need the spiritual barrier? That made use here."


    You Xi Wang replied in a low voice, "Shadow council is involved in this, and I do not trust anyone except my family in this world. I interrogated that man and he answered all my questions after some pain. I will not tell you anything further, I need proof, and I also won''t let The Council stand in the way of my revenge."


    Ushijima Choma understood what he meant and spoke, "Do not worry The Council will only be happy if you could get this world rid of the dark dwellers."


    You Xi Wang nodded and chatted them with a bit, after a short while Ushijima Yuki arrived and held his arm unabashed and spoke with a smile, "Xi Wang I met big sis Susan''s mom and she asked to call you. So big sis Zhichi asked me to find you, cause your Holo-phone is not avable."


    "Oh, it must be because I deactivated it." You Xi Wang replied with an apologetic smile on his face.


    "Mom, Dad, you guyses along too, Auntie Watson is very nice you will like her." Ushijima Yuki said to her parents, who nodded and agreed. She then tugged and led him to Cam Watson''s room.


    ....


    Ushijima Yuki pushed You Xi Wang inside the room first, and the rest followed behind him. You Zhichi noticed people arriving and stood up and weed everyone inside. Ushijima Choma froze when she saw a beautiful woman sitting on the chair and ncing at her in surprise, she yelled, "CAMI! Where have you been all these years you dumb woman? Do you know how many times I cried for your poor ass? Tell me, where is that numb nut of the husband you had? That fucking moron, if I find him I swear I will hang him up by that cock of his."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard profanities showering from her doll-like face. Cam who was sitting in the chair was already in tears, although her wrinkles were faded, she still looked older than Ushijima Choma, she stood up shakily and walked towards Ushijima Choma in staggering steps, she lost her bnce and was about to fall when she was caught by Ushijima Choma.


    She looked at thetter''s face and said in a soft voice, "Chocho... Neil is dead. We were on the mission to raid a group of soul shamans. We encountered an envoy of the Shadow Council, he was a Nirvana stage expert, Neil fought and asked me to run I was two months pregnant so I ran to save my baby. I tried contacting you but that Nirvana Realm expert kept haunting me, he killed everyone I asked for help for months I kept running and hiding and to remove his soul mark on my seal, I had to injure my soul, I was weak, so during childbirth, my soul fell into slumber."


    She hugged Ushijima Choma and cried a lot, Ushijima Choma also had tears in her eyes as she said, "Bimbo Cami, it''s all fine now, our daughters are now going to be sisters. Today is a joyous asion, so stop wetting my clothes."


    Cam Watson giggled a little and said while hugging her, "Ara, our little CHOCHO forgot all those days when someone had to wipe her ass after she pooped almost in every task we were handed.


    Ushijima Yuki Couldn''t help but let out a chuckle, which invited a death stare from her mother and she hid behind You Xi Wang. Cam Watson noticed this and said, "Now, now, you brat Chocho don''t bully my niece or might as well leak how you and dummy Ben here were caught having.." Ushijima Choma covered her mouth and said in a fluster, "Bimbo Cami I won''t do it but I beg you please don''t say all that. I have an image to maintain, you know. This is my son-inw''s house."


    Cam Watson nodded and was obviously smug after making her junior sister fluster. She looked towards You Xi Wang and nodded as she spoke, "Xi Wang, thank you, son, for waking me up, because of you I could meet my daughter and also reunite with my junior sister. You have my sincerest gratitude.''


    You Xi Wang said while rubbing his nose, "It is not a big deal after all you are Susie''s mom, so it is fine." and he helped her up and asked her to sit down as she was not healed.


    Then Ushijima Choma, Takeshi Kinben and Cam Watson told everyone that they were all members of an enforcer squad in the past and were very close. Cam also told everyone how her husband Neil stone died fighting the dark dweller expert.


    Cam left with Ushijima Choma and Takeshi Kinben after having dinner with You Xi Wang and his family. She wanted to report to the council about what happened to her and her husband. Ushijima Yuki also followed her parents, although reluctantly.


    You Xi Wang sat on the throne in the main hall, he was alone, he ced his left elbow on the armrest and put his ring finger and little finger under his chin as his middle, index finger rested on his left cheek and his thumb wasid parallel to his ear, he was in a deep discussion with the system.


    <gdiv></gdiv>

 Chapter 34: System Update.

    Chapter 34: System Update.


    ''System, hey system are you there? Ugh, this foggy jerk, where is he when I need his useless ass. HEY! SYSTEM WAKE UP YOU ARROGANT ASS< YOUR MASTER NEEDS YOU HERE.'' You Xi Wang spoke and shouted in his mind trying to wake up system, who has been silent this whole time.


    You Xiwang did not have to wait for long as he heard a groan in his mind followed by a voice which sounded as someone he just woke up from slumber.


    [What the fuck did you eat to be farting fire from the gigolo-mouth of yours, eh? Corky after killing someone, are we? ARE WE BOSSY NOW YOU worthless LOSER, WHO CAN''T EVEN CONTROL HIS MIND AND SLAMS HIS HEAD HERE AND THERE." the system responded in kind.


    You Xiwang retaliated, ''That was your job, you soul guarding mutt, how dare you bark at daddy master here, you couldn''t even detect that soul sense and you expect me to control myself, control your two dime ass you now face, piece of shit.''


    [Oh, really? Now look here you little waste of DNA, do you think I can just control you like that soul sense and make you run around naked ying your unused virgin dick in public? Or better, I will make you run around while you fart five elements from that juicy, thick steak of an ass. You fucking boy toy, who do you think gave you this life, huh? Answer me, you hairy ball sack.] system was on fire as he used his toxic talents.


    You Xiwang fell silent and after a few seconds he sneered, ''Hehehe feeling happy you little prick, your whole existence is based on the emotions I felt that day and you say you gave me this life. Where would have you originated to give me this life if not because of me? From shit?''


    The system was shocked when he saw how You Xi Wang turned the tables on him and was about to retort when he again heard his voice, ''Now answer my questions or I might have to tear that foggy asshole of yours and, search for a brain.''


    The system replied, [Do you have your brain in your ass?] but before he could even feel smug You Xi Wangughed and said, ''No you numb nut, your head is full of shit so I thought you might have a brain hidden inside your ass. Hahahahahahaha.''


    The system was raging, so he just spouted curses to You Xi Wang, who justughed it off. After venting his anger through the curses system described his new talents, which he gained from absorbing the remnants soul sense. Now the system could perform soul searching arts, it could also detect other soul cultivators and their auras more precisely than before. These two skills were very useful to You Xi Wang in his future quests and revenge.


    You Xi Wang meditated to harmonize his system with the rest of the soul and stabilize the update. This update is basically a cultivation breakthrough. The system is like an autonomous software which practices soul cultivation disturbing no other processes inside the body, it also has supportive functions such as diagnosis of the body in case injured, cultivation assist, like forming up a routine anding up with solutions for breaking past bottlenecks, vignce, analysis and emotion control, except rage. The reason is simple, it came into being because of negative emotions, anger, rage and hate are the strongest of negative emotions.


    The system may sound like a part of You Xi Wang''s soul, but it was like a mutation in his soul which needed to co-exist with the rest of his soul, otherwise You Xi Wang might turn into a vegetable or his head might blow up like a balloon. This is why you Xi Wang needed to meditate to make the stabilizationplete faster.


    It was already morning by the time You Xi Wang finished his meditation. He stood up and went to his room to freshen up. After he was taking a bath, someone knocked on his door. He opened and saw Emily standing there with a smile on her face. She came inside the room and hugged You Xi Wang and said in his ears, "Young master Noe is here to see you, he is waiting in the garden."


    You Xi Wang hugged her back and kissed her forehead before nodding and asked her to bring his breakfast in the garden, they flirted as usual and after sharing a kiss which made Emily pant, they separated and You Xi Wang headed to the garden while Emily headed to the kitchen.


    .....


    In the garden and hunk, wearing a loose ck t-shirt and white shorts with ck ankle-high running shoes, a figure was pacing left and right without rest. This figure was none other than Neo Paul. He rushed here because he needed You Xi Wang to join his squad of five to go on a training trip, to improve their martial arts and team coordination for the assessment held when the school starts after the vacation period.


    You Xi Wang came and noticed his friend being agitated and said while walking towards a chair, "Rx, will you? I know that you want to go on a training trip in Flora sector. I have called beauty Yuki, fenny and An. They have all agreed to it and will be here in a few hours. Now can you stop pacing and ruining my garden? Have some food, it will help your furry ass to calm down?."


    Neo Paul grinned and smacked his best friend''s shoulder hard and spoke in a loud voice, "You know me the best Bro." heughed after this and You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile.


    Emily brought the food to the garden as she was asked to and served You Xi Wang personally as a dutiful wife would, Neo Paul noticed this and said, "You sure know how to live and look at me. Stop PDA-ing in front of single people."


    "How about you man up and propose Lena?" You Xi Wang scoffed at him.


    "Are you kidding me? She will shave my head bald, that girl may look like a kitty, adorable and all, but she is wild, I fear her." Neo Paul defended himself.


    You Xi Wang dug deeper and said in a heavy voice, "Even though you are stronger than her, you have always guided her in your spars along the years, you think she is ignorant and doesn''t know about your feelings? You muscle head idiot, just tell her once how you feel and you will realize that I am right."


    "Are you being honest?" Neo Paulcked guts only for expressing his love for the girl in their ss and was called Lena.


    "Bro, How did you think Inded three hotties for myself if I was not sure?" You Xi Wang spoke in a cocky tone. Emily rolled her eyes and served food to this show-offing teen.

 Chapter 35: Heading To The Camp.

    Chapter 35: Heading To The Camp.


    Neo Paul and You Xi Wang finished their meal, and thetter left to pack his stuff while the former headed to the training fields to practice and spar with some disciples of You Family. Just as You Xi Wang has earlier, his friends arrived thirty minutester, and they all were sitting in the family living room of the mansion as they were all treated like family and not guests.


    You Xi Wang walked in wearing a buttoned-down white shirt and blue jeans with tan color shin-high boots, he left two buttons at the top of the shirt open and was wearing a thread around his neck from which hung a wooden pendant carved like a crescent moon, his hair was falling diagonally on his forehead. He looked cool.


    Fenny Sh stood up from her seat and went over to him and she circled him and scrutinized him from head to toe and screamed loud, shocking everyone, tears formed in her eyes and he said, "My kid Xiwang grew up into Hottie Xi Wang. Lord in the heavens this is unfair, why have you not made this happen before adopting him, oh my god such a candy. I missed my chances, but I am also happy that my son grew up hot." othersughed while You Xi Wang just shook his head with a smile on his face.


    "Okay, enough jokes, let''s go. We all have to reach the flora sector by the evening and enter the whispering woods by noon tomorrow. We will spend the night in Sahasa town." this was the medic and a trap master of the team, his nature was jovial and he was very helpful to everybody, but do not take him for being nave, he came from a family which was kind-hearted and gentle though out the ages. This family was blessed by the Crimson Phoenix, they also believed in four ancient great beasts like Your Family.


    The Crimson Phoenix was also known as the beast of care and medication, the blood of Crimson Phoenix was rumored to be so potent that it could help create a new body for a resurrected soul, its tears could fix all and any ailments of a person from a missing limb to not able to cultivate, dual physique to broken spirit veins and dantian, it is the most priceless elixir which existed in Metropia. Even the strongest people in the world did not dare to say they owned it, worried that someone might harm them and their family.


    An Ignis, eldest son of the Ignis family, he was precisely six feet tall, crimson red wavy bob cut hair, chiseled eyebrows of the same color, his golden-red eyes which looked like a me was burning behind them, slim stature, his thin lips always curled in a gentle smile, a sharp jawline and a goatee sitting on his chin made him look very cool, he could give godly looking You Xi Wang a run for his money.


    He spoke again, "Let''s get going guys we need to reach Sahasa town before sunset, and we are going to find a ride ourselves and no family cars."


    Neo Paul asked, "But why?"


    An patiently replied, "Survival, we need to get everything ourselves. I am teaming up with Fenny. You three can do what you want. Come,ssie, we are rolling." he candidly asked Fenny to follow him and she followed with a spring in her step and spoke to him, "Bro An, can we stop by Krispy''s?"


    An smiled and lead her out of the living hall, nodding to Fenny. He was the ever-dependable big brother on the team, even though he was the same age like others. Only Ushijima Yuki, Neo Paul, and You Xi Wang were left in the hall. You Xi Wang thought for a bit and said, "Yuki want to ride with me on lev-bike?" Ushijima Yuki agreed readily and then he spoke to Neo Paul, "Go find your ride we will meet at Silica City high-track way"


    Neo Paul rushed out, and You Xi Wang led Ushijima Yuki to the training fields and looked for his cousin You Liang. The reason was that You Liang used a Lev bike for hismute to various ces and in the whole family only he owned a bike. He was twenty years old, jolly nature young man, liked by all in the family, but he had his moments of being dumb. Like when he proposed to a girl on the and she turned out to be an old woman. When asked why did he fall in love, he said, "She was different and she listened to him." turns out she was just slow to type.


    You Xi Wang asked around and after five minutes he found the young man practicing shadow boxing, and he called out, "Big bro Liang."


    You Liang turned and stopped his practice and smile, "Xiao Wang, what made you look for me today." he nodded to Ushijima Yuki in as a greeting.


    You Xi Wang replied, "Can I borrow your Lev-bike? We need to go out to the flora sector for a training camp. Cars will not have maneuverability in the town. So can I?" he asked politely, with no arrogance of being the family head.


    You Liang nodded in approval and said, "Xiao Wang, It is good to be polite to your family, but remember never being too humble to outsiders, okay. Here, take the bike and don''t worry about anything, we will hold the fort here for the family okay." everyone treated You Xi Wang with affection after all he was the youngest in the family, and also he was very polite and respectful to his elder cousins in the past.


    You Xi Wang carried a rectangr box which looked like a pager, but was a fully touch screen remote key of the lev-bike capable of calling the bike to track the owner with the help of the key and also it helped in the ignition too.


    You Xi Wang thanked him again and left with Ushijima Yuki heading towards the parking area. He already paid respects to his grandpas, grannies, and also his aunt. He asked all of them to inform him immediately in case of an emergency or something rted to the council and the Mirai group.


    He put on a white helmet and also helped Ushijima Yuki by fastening her helmet around her chin. They have all the basic provisions they needed in the space rings, they wore, You Xi Wang also bought his father''s long sword ''Purgatory'' with him. After Ushijima Yuki sat behind him, he saw You Zhichi waving at him and he waved at her and throttled the bike while shouting behind him, "I''ll be back in a few days Chichi takes care and love you." his words made You Zhichi smile as she watched him disappear in the distance. She turned and saw both Emily and Susan pouting, and she teased them, "What is it? Missing him already, or jealous of Yuki?" in a sly tone.


    Susan replied, "It is not like that Xiao chi, he said nothing to us." she was dissatisfied by You Xi Wang not saying bye to them, but just as she was talking bout her and Emily''s wrist band vibrated and a message popped up which read, "I did not see you but don''t worry I''ll be back soon and I love you, please take care of yourselves."


    They both looked down on the ground and felt guilty for wrongly using him, You Zhichi shook her head and said, "Come on, don''t sulk now. We got work to do, let''s go."


    ...


    You Xiwang reached Silica City high-track way and saw An and Fenny riding on a lev-bike simr to his, and Neo Paul was also revving his lev-bike.


    They all nodded and left Silica City to head towards Sahasa town of The Flora Sector.

 Chapter 36: Town Of Adventures.

    Chapter 36: Town Of Adventures.


    Sahasa town also known as an adventure town among the people. This town was situated right at the border of the infamous wild area of the Flora Sector, the Whispering Woods, where lived spirit beasts of shadow element.


    Spirit beasts differed from demons, Spirit beasts practiced cultivation with the help of beast cores. As their cultivation progressed, they strengthen their core bloodline and be Magical demon beasts with further advances, until they can transform into humans. These Magical demon beasts do not have a core or spiritual root, but a bloodline blessed by the heavens which help them cultivate further. Magical demon beasts also have human-like offsprings but they have a seal ced on them before birth, which suppresses the bloodline preventing the offspring from harming itself and others as they cannot control it that well.


    Fenny Sh, for instance, was a simr individual. Her parents were both mid-level Primal Soul cultivators. They were both honest and good people. The intelligence of a spirit beast is very simple. They only gain a higher level of IQ and EQ after they reach thest stages of the Magical demon beast realm. When they transform into humans, they gain inherited memories stored inside the bloodline which helps them cultivate spiritual energy.


    When a magical demon beast transforms into a human they are in the Primal soul realm. They are physically stronger than humans butg in cultivation speed. In spirit beast stages their bloodlines are not pure, Magical demon beasts are missing spiritual core to aid bloodlines, all this speed only increases when they achieve human form. When they reach the human form, they will appear to be a five to six years old kid.


    ...


    After spending nearly five hours on the road, You Xi Wang and thepany arrived at their destination, the town of adventures. The high-track way merged into themon-track way and lead the group into the town, the town was filled with hustle bustle which made the ambiance vivacious, but just as it was lively as it was dangerous too. This lively ce was also a gathering spot for criminals and dark dwellers. Murders and robbery weremon urrences in this town. Strength was the only authority here. The council had dispatched several enforcers, but it still could not keep up with the number of people entering and exiting the town every day.


    An led the way on his Lev-bike, followed by You Xi Wang on his left-wing and Neo Paul on his right nk. This was a standard formation they came up with on the way to reduce the chances of sneak attacks on the group. Who knew when some prick jumped over attempting to rob them.


    The town gate, there was a Council Outpost where you had to register for how long you will stay in the town and what was your purpose of arriving. An entered the outpost and others followed him. The outpost was a beautiful five-floor building likely made up of white marble blocks with titanium threads weaving through them and defense systems mounted on the walls; the building was surrounded by a high tungsten fence which glowed orange, signifying that electricity was running through them and one should not approach. The fence could absorb spiritual energy inside one''s body and once stuck you are as good as dead.


    The group entered the office after parking their Lev-bikes. They saw a beautifuldy and a handsome looking man sitting behind the reception desk. The group approached them and An spoke, "Sir, we are students from Silica City and we would like to stay in the town for a night."


    The man behind the desk nodded and moved his hands over the table, and a holographic screen manifested in front of the man. The man then spoke, "Please scan your ID here by cing it over the marked circle.


    There was a circle marked on the tabletop which scanned the ID of the travelers, An nodded and put his wrist over the circle, a light shed through the tabletop and scanned the Holo-phone. A beep was heard and the man behind the table nodded, showing that the ID is real and verified. The others followed the same procedure and when they were done, the man finally introduced himself, "Wee to Sahasa town, the town of adventures. I am Cole. This lovelydy beside me is Ms. Monica. We will help you regard anything you need during the stay, also please contact us as soon as you think you need help."


    You Xi Wang spoke this time, "We are looking for a ce to spend the night, is it possible for us to stay in the Council Outpost. If not, then please refer to a ce that is quiet and safer by the standards around here."


    Cole gave an apologetic smile and replied, "I am very sorry, sir. The Council does not allow anyone to have amodation in the Outpost until they are immediate council officials. There is a ce where you can stay, the Indi Inn. The ce is clean and quiet, it might be costly, but it is safe given the standards of this ce, as they say ''It is dark under themp'' the inn is situated right next to the so-called hidden assassination organization HQ, The de. So it is almost always there and neglected."


    You Xi Wang thought for a bit and looked at An, who nodded in affirmation. They thanked Cole and left after asking for directions. They followed the directions on foot, the boys formed a triangle around the girls, You Xi Wang came across a vending stall on sideways. He selected few masks and handed it to his friends and they all covered their faces. You Xi Wang got himself a ck wolf shaped mask and Ushijima Yuki got a matching white wolf mask. Neo Paul had a red lion-shaped mask, Fenny Sh chooses a skull-shaped while An bought a scarf and veiled his mouth with it.


    The town was like an inkblot on the face of Metropia, while one side of the world was all clean managed and safe, this side was gray, depressed, and chaotic, this town had an environment the opposite of what You Xi Wang has seen till now, while others were more epting towards it. It could be because he was half a neer in the world, yet he adjusted quickly.


    The surroundings were dirty, people were lying on the sidewalks every few meters, You Xi Wang noticed a pair of kids, a boy and a girl who begged for food, yet nobody spared them a look. The girl seemed to be unable to speak while the boy walked her leading him by the hand. Their clothes were torn in ces and faces were covered with dirt, hair of the two was also scattered and bushy, making them look dirty. You Xi Wang could not take it anymore and walk over to them, his friends were confused at first, but then followed him while minding their formation.


    You Xi Wang stopped one foot away from the pair and asked them, "What is your name? And why are you two alone?"


    The girl flinched as she saw the mask and started shivering, tears were forming in her eyes, after all these two kids were just six years old. The Boy realized someone questioning them so he replied, "Sir, my name is Chris and this is my friend Celestia. Our parents were murdered, that is why we are alone."


    You Xi Wang bent down and took off his mask. He smiled at the girl and patted the boy on his shoulder and said, "Would you two like toe with us? I can bring you away from here and you do not have to worry, I swear in the name of my blood that shall I ever have any ill intentions towards you two then I may die."


    The kids have been suffering for a year now and were in a very dire state they did not expect a total stranger wille and be their ray of hope in the darkness of despair. They both started crying and hugged You Xi Wang tightly. He consoled them a bit and brought them to the Inn. The group also weed them both with warm hearts, and Fenny was already on her way to teach them the way of the world.


    The group slowly moved through the crowd and reached the Indi Inn. The adventure has begun.

 Chapter 37: The Indi Inn.

    Chapter 37: The Indi Inn.


    You Xi Wang and the group stood in front of the inn and a huge signboard was staring at them from above, the signboard was written ''The Indi Inn.'' in bright yellow and the background was very colorful for the dark air of Sahasa town. The group exchanged nces and finally entered the inn by pushing open the door.


    The interior was so bright that it made all of them blink for a second, when they opened their eyes, they saw a semicircr counterying at the end of, what it should be, reception hall, a chandelier was hanging low from the ceiling it lit up the whole reception hall dazzling. The walls were covered with paintings of battles and above the reception counter, two talwars were ced crossing each other, the sheaths were engraved with symbols of peace and nonviolence. There was a staircase on the right-hand side of the reception.


    Neo Paul went forward and knocked on the counter. A hoarse, tired voice sounded from the staircase, "Just a moment." and after a few seconds, an old man wearing a turban and a long shirt with clean white paint came into the sight of the group. The old man walked with the help of a cane. He had a long white beard. His face was wrinkled yet his eyes were focused and calm, he had two scars on his face, one was a vertical sh on his right cheek and another was on his nose, a horizontal sh.


    He came behind the counter and asked, " I am Kripan, the owner and manager here. What can I do for you kids?" he was trying to sound nice and familiar so that the group doesn''t get scared by him.


    An took a step forward and said, "Sir, we need a ce to spend the night so we asked someone and they pointed us here."


    "Okay, please scan your IDs and I will arrange rooms for you guys." the old man replied.


    The group followed his instructions and scanned their ID bands, Kripan then asked, "These kids, they do not have IDs?"


    You Xi Wang had noticed this early on and said, "I found them outside and they will get their IDs tomorrow, is it possible to have them stay here tonight with us?"


    Kripan smiled faintly and said, "You are a kind one, boy. But the council rules are very strict if any person without ID is found using services, it will put the provider in trouble. So, I can not really do anything about it."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Is there any solution to fix it?"


    Kripan thought for a bit and said, "I can make an exception if someone from the council can vouch for them. This way they can stay here with no worries."


    You Xi Wang turned to Ushijima Yuki, and she nodded as she understood his intention. She called her father by her Holo-phone, a few momentster the call connected and Ushijima exined everything to him and then put the call on speaker, a symbol engraved on the strap shined and a domineering voice of Takeshi Kinben was heard, "Mr. Kripan, My name is Takeshi Kinben and I am a fifth-grade enforcer of the council. I vouch for the two kids Chris and Celestia with my honor of a council official."


    Kripan was stunned as he knew how high fifth-grade enforcer''s power and authority was, he nodded and allowed the kids to stay for the night. You Xi Wang asked Kripan to get two sets of the best food in his ce for all of his friends. They collected the room ess keys and headed to rest.


    Celestia was following behind You Xi Wang like a tail, leading Chris by his hand who followed behind them. They entered the room. All of them had separate rooms for themselves. Celestia and Chris were asked to choose who they wanted to stay with, the former choose You Xi Wang while the former wanted to stay with Neo Paul as they both liked to talk, but Celestia gave him no chance.


    They entered the room. There was a bed in the center and two windows on the wall opposite the entrance, showing the bustling dark streets of the town. A bathroom was also attached to the room. You Xi Wang looked around and nodded as the room was immacte and clean.


    He turned towards the kids and asked if they can take a bath by themselves or need help with it. It was not weird at all. They are kids. Celestia shook her head and Chris said, "Big brother, I can ask brother Neo to help me, you cannot help both of us together, right?" You Xi Wang knew that Chris wanted to be with Neo Paul very much and hear the stories of the world outside of this godforsaken ce. He dialed Neo Paul''s Holo-phone and called him over to take Chris with him.


    Celestia was holding Chris tightly by his sleeve, You Xi Wang understood that she was afraid to be alone without him. He walked towards her and knelt in front of her. He stroked her hair with an affectionate smile on his face and said, "Do you trust me?"


    Celestia nodded, You Xi Wang spoke again, "Then do not worry, I have taken a blood oath to not harm both of you, right?" he received a nod from her. She also followed his instructions and let go of Chris but held onto You Xi Wang''s sleeves.


    Neo Paul picked up Chris and brought him to his room, You Xi Wang then led Celestia to the bathroom, and he took her clothes off and sat her in the bathtub, he rinsed her hair with water and then rubbed her face, the water was warm and clean but when You Xi Wang applied shampoo on her head and poured water on it. Celestia hissed in pain and grabbed You Xi Wang''s hand, He looked confused and then turned her around to see her back. He was shocked as he sawsh wound scars all over her back, there were some scratches over her back which were new and formed because of sleeping in the streets, his shock turned to anger, he poured water over the wounds and used his spiritual energy to heal it, slowly the wounds healed and the scars also faded a bit.


    He asked Celestia, "Do you know who did this to you?" the girl shook her head, You Xi Wang asked her, "Celestia, now do not resist okay, big brother will heal your wounds, close your eyes for me, okay?" she nodded with a smile as she closed her eyes, You Xi Wang held her face in his palms and spoke in his mind, "System, I want you to search her soul without harming her anyhow, got it?"


    [Yes, master] The system replied and started searching the girl''s soul

 Chapter 38: Reignited hope.

    Chapter 38: Reignited hope.


    You Xi Wang entered Celestia''s soul space, and what he saw differed totally from other soul spaces he has ever seen. This space was dull and dark. There was not a single speck of light, as if he has fallen into an endless pit of darkness.


    He looked around but could not find Celestia''s soul avatar. He sighed and spoke to the system, ''Is there any way we can find her soul avatar?''


    The system was quiet for some time, but then a voice replied, [Master, this soul is dark because the person has no hope, I scanned everything I could and what I saw makes me depressed let alone this six years old kid. Do you want me to tell you or merge all I have seen with your mind?]


    You Xi Wang replied, ''Merge it with my mind.''


    [Command epted, merging sequence starting now.] the system spoke like some high-techputer system starting a protocol and You Xi Wang joked ''Feeling futuristic, you are a soul and not aputer, please have some dignity and stop mimicking.''


    The system did not reply and after a few minutes, the synchronizationpleted. You Xi Wang saw a man standing in front of him. He looked around but couldn''t move his neck.


    [Master, you are watching things from the girl''s perceptive.] the system notified him.


    You Xi Wang calmed down and watched the whole process, how this man killed everyone in the house, and how brutal he was in his methods.


    A gentle voice sounded in his ears and it said, "Celes, sweetie, forgive mom for not being strong enough. Remember the one who did all this is called The Butcher, he is an elder of the deadly sect. I will now ce a seal on your memories and you will only remember who you are, your parents and that they died in some tragedy, other memories will unlock when you reach the spirit formation realm cultivator.


    The next thing he saw was a woman who looked as if Celestia has grown up running towards The Butcher trying to take him down with her. She moves all her spirit energy and swung her sword but the butcher caught it with his bare hand. He jerked his hand and dragged the woman in his arms, he grinned viciously and started moving his hand all over the woman''s body.


    The woman gritted her teeth and ignited all her energy and vaporized, while she turned to gas The Butcher lost his left armpletely. He yelled and shouted, and in his rage, his eyes fell over Celestia. He choked her with his remaining hand, she fainted fromck of air, he threw her on the floor, took out his belt, and started whipping her back. The girl had already fainted yet the butcher kept whipping, he wanted to take her away but when he noticed the condition she was in he kicked her away and left the ce. He killed the neighbors and the other two houses.


    Celestia was left there to bleed to her death, but she was saved by Chris, who found her and fed her a healing pill. Chris lost his eyes after he saved her from a sneak attack in an alley. One day they went out begging. Chris was her neighbor, and his family was also a victim of the Butcher. The reason the Butcher attacked her family was that he wanted to gain their family treasure, helpful for his cultivation, so he just killed them all to get what he wanted.


    You Xi Wang woke up and his eyes were bloodshot, he was enraged by what he saw, Celestia was looking at him with a smile but this was the first time he noticed how she was trying to hide her pain behind that smile. He calmed down took a deep breath, he moved his hand and stroked her head softly, he then wiped off the water over her body with a towel and infused a little fire element energy to dry her hair. He looked at her back and saw that her scars had faded a bit.


    He got wrapped her in a towel and picked her up in his arms and mumbled, "Celes, do you want to hear a story?"


    The girl flinched as she remembered that her family members also called her Celes, but she still nodded. After she was just a kid.


    You Xi Wang smiled and spoke as he put her on the bed wrapped in the towel, "This is my story, I was born in a very loving and caring family, my parents showered me with all the love in the world, I also have a big sister who loves me a lot, I have good friends too, just like you have Chris. You met them, right?"


    Celestia nodded in response, she was sitting on the bed beside You Xi Wang, she looked like a fairy wrapped in a towel and You Xi Wang''s soft voice caused her to be engrossed in the story.


    You Xi Wang continued while he stroked her head gently, "Everything was going good and something happened, my parents were taken away from me by someone, I could not handle the pain and I fell in aa, my sister and everyone else was worried about me but I survived because of my parent''s blessing. I woke up from thea and found out that my parents were murdered. I was enraged I wanted to destroy the world, but I realized that I am not alone, my sister, family all of them were also in pain. I felt scared and decided that I will be stronger, so strong that in this world no one will hurt my loved ones. I challenged my family to be the leader because that will help me protect them better, I fought and bled yet I won."


    He took a deep breath and noticed Celestia was looking at him with a sparkle in her eyes. Her tiny hands were holding his clothes tightly. He smiled and picked her up to make her sit in hisp and he asked her, "Do you also want to be strong Celes? Do you want your parents to be happy when they watch you grow strong?"


    Celestia nodded and tears formed in her eyes. She opened her lips, but no voice came out. She tried hard but she could not speak a single word. Her vocal cords were damaged when the Butcher choked her. Tears fell from her eyes and You Xi Wang treated her vocal cords with the help of earth and water elemental spirit energy mixed.


    It was said that long time injuries are difficult to heal, but he had a system capable of manipting soul energy and purify everything. So, he mixed water and earth elements together and used pure energy as a healing agent. The cords healed after an hour of continuous infusion of the energy and Celestia spoke, "Thank you, big brother."


    Her voice sounded like a silver bell and You Xi Wang felt happy. He thanked the system for being awesome, allowing it to experience being glorified.


    He stroked her head and said, "Your wee, little fairy."


    Celestia hesitated and asked him, "Big brother, can you punish that person for me? I will do anything you want me to."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Celes, do you want to be your parents to be happy?"


    The girl replied with a nod then he said, "Then get stronger, big brother will help you get stronger but you will have to punish him yourself. Okay?"


    Celestia pondered for a bit and said, "I will be stronger, big brother. I will punish that man." as she waved her tiny fists. You Xi Wang smiled at this gesture of hers.

 Chapter 39: Ally in the alley.

    Chapter 39: Ally in the alley.


    You Xi Wang got her to wear an overhead shirt of his, although the clothes all were made to fit the user, Celestia has been just too young for this size to be altered. She still looked very cute wearing the oversized shirt. He took a picture of her. She yed her arms a bit and saw how the clothes were oversized, and she pouted.


    You Xi Wang recorded it all on his Holo-phone. It was very calming to see her antics. She was tired of all the time she had spent on the streets, so she slowly fell asleep while holding You Xi Wang. She looked just like a little fairy, her clean hair was blonde, her face was fair, she looked very skinny because she did not have any decent nutrition in the past months, her eyes were emerald green and sparkling, she reminded You Xi Wang of the elves he read in his past life. She was very cute.


    You Xi Wang tried to stand up from her side, but she was holding him too tightly. He stroked her back lightly, and she loosened her grip as she felt his touch. You Xi Wangid on his back and called Ushijima Yuki using his Holo-phone. The call was picked up instantly.


    "Xi Wang, missing me?" Ushijima Yuki spoke in a flirting tone.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "My little subus,e to my room, I need to go out for a bit while you look after Celes."


    Ushijima Yuki felt a rage in his voice and replied, "Did you find something? I aming over right now."


    The call disconnected and You Xi Wang called An and asked him toe to his room. After a while, An and Yuki both came to his room. He exined to them what he found out and both of them were enraged too.


    Yuki looked at Celestia and she said, "Xi Wang, should I ask my parents to take her in? You know, as in adopting her."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "She will stay in You family, I will ask Granny Xin to teach her until she is ready for school. She needs to remember her mother''sst wish. She will develop mental demons otherwise. Support her but don''t lead her, If she falls, cheer her to stand up but don''t lend a hand until she is at her limit. After all the trails these two kids have faced in the past few months their mental fortitude is strong but they are still kids. They need care and love along with harsh training.


    An patted his back and said, "Well said, mate."


    You Xi Wang asked Yuki to stay in his room and look after Celestia as he and An went out to search for some information. You Xi Wang also called Granny Xin exined the situation to her and asked for Robert toe to Sahasa Town early in the morning the next day and also asked her to send some clothes for a six-year-old boy and girl.


    After he made the arrangements, the duo moved around the town slowly, and just when they were about to enter a pub they both heard a sounding from the alley.


    "You fucking insects, how dare you set foot in my town?" a calm voice echoed, ridicule and disgust were apparent in this voice.


    Another voice answered, "We only wanted to find a person and not to create any scene."


    "Oh, who might that be?" the first voice was now amused.


    "A teenage boy, he entered the town with his friends. We were told that he is the new family head of You family in Silica City." the hoarse voice replied.


    "So, you thought you can waltz in my crib?" the calm voice sounded.


    You Xi Wang wanted to know more, and he gestured An to follow him into the alley. The two intentionally did not suppress their footsteps. A voice sounded, "Who goes there?" they both stopped.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "The one they are looking for." he sounded calm. This made the man feel amused.


    "What can I do for Master You?" the man asked.


    "We will talk about thatter, but what I want to ask you is your name, and are they your enemies?" You Xi Wang spoke like a family head. His words were neither humble nor arrogant.


    The man nodded and spoke, "I am called Richard ke, uncrowned king of this town, I also regte the illegal businesses in the town. As for these people, they are dark dwellers." he wore a three-piece ck tuxedo with a white shirt inside, his head was bald, a scar on his left temple pointed chin, long nose, grey eyes apanied by long raised brows. Hisplexion was dark.


    You Xi Wang nodded and took a walk to the two men standing at the end of the alley. He asked with a smile, "Who sent you guys?" his voice was soft as if he was speaking to a friend.


    The man replied with a snort, "You better stop acting all chummy with me, okay? I won''t tell you shit. What are you going to do?" he just finished his words and You Xi Wang''s figure blinked and he appeared in front of the man, he clutched his jaw and said, "Um... this is not good if you don''t want to speak then what good is a tongue?"


    You Xi Wang radiated a cold aura that surprised Richard ke, but he quickly gained hisposure only to be shocked again. You Xi Wang forced the man''s jaw open and grabbed his tongue, a cold sadist smile appeared on his lips and the man shivered, he made some sounds as if he wanted to say something but he was not given a chance, his tongue was pulled out


    SNAP, a piece of flesh was seen being held by You Xi Wang''s hands.


    The surrounding people were shocked, and the victim cried and wail in pain. The culprit turned to Richard ke and spoke with a dazzling smile, "Mr. Richard let us be allies. I think we can hunt some of these insects together. What to say?"


    Richard pondered for a bit and said, "d to be your ally, Master You."


    You Xi Wang turned to the man who rolled over the floor and said, "My friends call me Xi Wang brother Richard."

 Chapter 40: Interrogation.

    Chapter 40: Interrogation.


    You Xi Wang was now focused on the other man who watched hispanion go through pain. They were both body formation cultivators. Their strength was meek in You Xi Wang''s eye. Just as they were nning to escape, You Xi Wang asked the second guy in a low voice, "Oi, do you also not want to use your tongue?"


    The mute guy shook his head at hispanion, but You Xi Wang moved again, appearing beside him. This teenager with a kind smile was like Yama for him. You Xi Wang drew a pocketknife from his side pocket and made two cuts over the man''s tendons, making his neck immobile and said, "Your neck would have gone stiff from such strong jerks, I fixed it."


    He looked to the other guy, and thetter spoke with haste, "I am Steven and he is my elder brother Jeremy, we work for Edward Colt, CEO of the Mirai Group. We were tasked to find you and kidnap you. He has ill intentions towards your sister now. He targeted your mother,, but he was beaten like a dog. He said he would use you to force your sister."


    You Xi Wang was as calm as a cucumber. This scared Steven while An was feeling very uneasy because he knew that his friend is about to turn into a demon. His loved ones were his reverse scale, and his sister was more important than his life to him. You Xi Wang nodded and stood up. He called his sister and told her not to leave home until hees back as it could be dangerous. You Zhichi understood her brother must have discovered something, so she agreed.


    "Brother Richard, do me a favor and get me a yroom." You Xi Wang said to Richard ke. He nodded and called some of his men over to bring these two people with them. They entered the pub.


    The pub was lit in bright-colored lights, loud music was being yed, people were dancing, some were sitting next to the bar counter ordering drinks and food. It was vivacious, but You Xi Wang was only focused on Steven and Jeremy being escorted by Richard''s men. They moved towards the back of the pub and a staircase going downwards weed them.


    The men led the two brothers inside and Richard spoke, "Brother Xi Wang, we have a room in here, it is used for interrogation. You can use anything inside."


    You Xi Wang nodded and entered with An following him. Richard stood there pondering for a moment, then entered. He wanted to see what this boy was about to do. Richard''s men tied the two on a chair. Jeremy had his neck supported by the headrest.


    You Xi Wang asked a man, "Excuse me, can you undress the one on the right for me." the man nodded and tore Jeremy''s clothes off and left him there with eyes wide open. You Xi Wang thanked the guy with a nod.


    The former looked around the room and saw some jars ced over a table on the left side of the room, the right side also had a table but it had tools over it. You Xi Wang walked up to the left side and after going through the jars he selected one which had a worm-like insect in it. He spoke to Steven, "Tell me, Steven, which faction do you belong to? Death Sect, or some other degenerative group."


    Steven was in a stupor and did not seem to hear his question, but this gave this young demon a chance which he took, he opened the jar and grabbed the worm between his thumb and index finger, he showed it to Jeremy who turned pale, You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Pain-inducing leech, the name itself exins what it can do." finished saying his piece, he tossed the leech in his hand at Jeremy''s ball sack.


    The Leech wriggled, and it sunk its teeth into his skin. You Xi Wang spoke to An with a smile, "Bro, you know this leech has 300 teeth capable of prating steel. It also secretes a poison inside its prey known as Contradiction Poison, the reason is that usually poisons make you sluggish and destroy your tissues, while this poison heightens your senses, makes you focused, it may look like this is not a poison but an energy drink. HAHAHA... what a misconception, it turns you so fragile that if you just feel someone blow on your skin you will wish for death."


    Richard knew all this. That is why he always used this insect on stronger people. He was shocked that this kid knew all this, and yet he used it. He finally realized this handsome teenager in front of him was a demon, a demon who will make you regret every second of your life for offending him.


    Just in a few moments, the poison triggered and Jeremy started screaming. His body was shivering and cold sweat started dripping from his forehead. Steven, who was tied to a chair next to him woke up from his stupor. Actually, his stupor resulted from You Xi Wang using the soul powers to break the restrictions ced on Steven to prevent him from revealing any secrets.


    He saw Jeremy''s condition and turned pale. Just then You Xi Wang asked him again, "Which organization are you from?"


    Steven spoke, "Death Sect."


    "Edward Colt is also from your organization?" You Xi Wang said.


    The captive nodded. You Xi Wang asked him, "Who is the most valued person for Edward Colt."


    Steven replied, "His son, Ronald colt. He spoils him like nobody else."


    "Where can I find this Ronald and how strong is he?" You Xi Wang asked.


    "He will go out for school assessment next month, I am not informed about where his school will take him." this was the reply he got from Steven.


    You Xi Wang noticed that Jeremy was not screaming as loudly as before, so he stopped questioning and took a hold of his finger and snapped it. Jeremy screamed loud, his voice was already hoarse. You Xi Wang snapped all his fingers one by one, and the effect of the poison made him scream louder every time.


    Everyone present was shocked as they could not even imagine how much pain Jeremy suffered. You Xi Wang turned to Steven and said with a smile, "You were very cooperative, I will give you a choice. First, do you want to take a blood oath and work for me as a spy in Mirai Group? Don''t worry I did not break your soul seals they are fine, I only used a little bypassing technique. Second, I can treat you the same as your brother."


    Steven had a weak mindset, so he hastily took a blood oath, after which he could either stay or leave. He chooses thetter and left with no hesitation. Jeremy saw You Xi Wang walking towards him with a knife in his hand. He thought, ''Yes, kill me, you demon.''


    But his expectations were again let down, You Xi Wang was pissed about Death Sect, and these two guys were also rted to Edward Colt, that guy even dared to have designs for his sister, Steven was spared but only till he has his uses.


    You Xi Wang cut along Jeremy''s face line and when he was done, he peeled his skin off little by little and Jeremy kept screaming, blood dripped down from his face, You Xi Wang used his soul energy to use a precise amount of strength and removed the upperyer of skin from his face.


    Jeremy''s face now looked horrific some of Richard''s men let out screams, but You Xi Wang was not done he took some wine from a table on the left and poured it over Jeremy''s face, it felt like burning, his spiritual energy was already sealed early on by Richard.


    "Tell Yama, his business partner sends his regards." with these words he turned to An and said, "Bro, lend me a spark."


    An hesitated a bit but still snapped his fingers and sparks produced. Some hit Jeremy''s face, setting it on fire as the face rinsed wet with wine.

 Chapter 41: The Kingpin.

    Chapter 41: The Kingpin.


    After giving Jeremy a painful death, You Xi Wang and An left the basement. Under the leadership of Richard, they came to the VIP level of the pub. The area was decorated differently from what You Xi Wang expected it to be.


    This was a private room, the right side of the room was a floor to ceiling ss wall providing the guests with the wholesome view of the dance floor, it turns out it was one-sided mirror ss. A mahogany chair and table set were ced in the room for the guest to be seated. A ss ball hung down from the ceiling, it cast off the reflection of the lights as it spun in its spot. Light music was being yed in the room instead of high bass tracks.


    The three of them took seats and Richard spoke first, "Well, brother Xi Wang, you scared a brawler like me down there." he gave off a wary smile.


    You Xi Wang replied, "Brother Richard, what would you do to someone who killed your parents and have designs on your sister, also not to forget they are death sect scums, who go around killing people for selfish gains. I came to this town today and met two six-year-old kids who lost everything thanks to these worms."


    Richard nodded and answered, "I agree, but those methods did not suit your looks, I was surprised when I saw an adorable, smiling guy killing off people like nothing." his words made a vein appear on You Xi Wang''s forehead and An could not help butugh.


    Richard realized he had said something wrong. He scratched his bald head and You Xi Wang was about to say something when his Holo-phone vibrated and he found it was Yuki who called him.


    He picked up the call and heard a cute voice from the other side, "Big brother, when will you be back, I don''t like this big sister, she does not tell me any good stories."


    "I will be there in a few minutes sweetie, you talk to big sister okay," he replied with a smile.


    "Promise?" the girl asked, "Yes, promise," he replied.


    The girl believed him and said, "Okay, big brothere back soon."


    "Yes Celes, you be a good girl okay." with that You Xi Wang disconnected the call.


    You Xi Wang turned his attention towards Richard and said, "Brother Richard, I will be honest with you, I can tell you are at least a man of principles, who knows what is right and what is wrong. The way you tackled those dark dwellers, that was a reason I befriended you."


    Richard nodded and said, "I may not be a good man but I do things in a limit. I hate dark dwellers, they took away my everything and since then I have killed them every time I have a chance. I used to be a normal guy, wanting to be a council official, yet one fine night some mother-fucking dark dwellers raided the whole neighborhood, killed everyone, raped women, and enved children. The mafia at that time was a dark dweller, so they had strong support and link. I looked up to the council yet they had their hands tied as they did not have that many resources, so I joined the mafia and learned the trade, I used every mean possible, cheating, deceit, framing and even backstabbing my so-called brothers in arms. In one year I climbed up the ranks and became the right-hand man of the then mafia lord."


    He took a deep breath and said, "I killed him in his sleep, I paid an escort who trained in charm skills and you can imagine the rest. It took me fifty years to create all this. The boys now are unlike those old ones, they may look like goons but they all suffered somehow at the hands of the dark dwellers, every one of them has voluntarily taken a heavenly oath. They are all loyal men who shed blood, sweat, and tears toe so far."


    You Xi Wang was silent as he listened to Richard and said, "So, this is the story behind the Kingpin of Sahasa town."


    "Ha hahaha... you are the first one who gave me a name like that brother Xi Wang. Well, it has a nice ring to it. The Kingpin. I like it." Richardughed and epted this moniker, he turned to his boys and said, "Guys, starting today spread the word that I am now called The Kingpin."


    The guysughed as well, still, they spread the word to their contacts. Richard then took out a brocade box from his storage device and handed it to You Xi Wang and said, "This box contains the badges lower only to me in the mafia, you can use it to ask for help in Sahasa town. You will be treated like my brother and your close ones will be my friends too."


    You Xi Wang epted the box and kept it, then he gave Richard a coin with You family crest engraved on it and he said, "This is my family crest, show it to the guard on the gate and they will lead you to the highest designated person in the family."


    Richard kept it and nodded, "Thank you, would you like to join me for a drink or two?" he offered.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and denied him politely with we are both underage excuse. They chatted a little and then as the two boys left the pub, Richard escorted them personally to the Inn. They said exchanged their call signs and bade farewell to each other.


    You Xi Wang entered the inn and dropped An to his room, he wanted to exin something but An said, "Bro, I know why you did what you did, do not worry I will not judge you as an adorable guy killing someone... hahaha." heughed and You Xi Wang turned, leaving for his room not bothering with him anymore.


    You Xi Wang knocked on the door to his room, just in a breath the door opened and an adorable Celestia smiled at him, "Big brother you arete." she pouted afterining.


    "Hahaha, it has only been fifteen minutes Celes." he bent down and picked her up in his arms.


    "Were you a good girl?" he asked the little fairy affectionately.


    She excitedly nodded her head, "Yes, I became friends with big sister Yuki."


    "Very good, now I will tell Celes about a story and then you go to bed. It iste already, you know," You Xi Wang spoke to the girl affectionately.


    He told her about Richard and his story. Soon the girl drifted to the dreand in his arms. He put her to bed and Yuki who was waiting at a side silently spoke as she walked towards him, "You are good at babysitting."


    You Xi Wang hugged her slender waist, dragged her close, and said, "Yes, do you want to have babies of our own?"


    Yuki blushed but just as she was about to look away, You Xi Wang stole her lips, her eyes went wide and she yed her arms but You Xi Wang did not let go. After his constant attacks, she responded. They stopped after sometimes, Yuki was panting and a blush covered her face. Rescuing the situation from turning awkward You Xi Wang hugged her and asked, "Sweetheart, how did she woke up?" the ''she'' was obviously Celestia.


    "Nightmare" Yuki replied in a small mosquito voice.


    They hugged each other under the moonlight.

 Chapter 42: Tickle Monster.

    Chapter 42: Tickle Monster.


    The night slowly passed and at some point, Ushijima Yuki fell asleep while she was in You Xi Wang''s arms, he princess carried her and put her to bed. The two girls slept side by side and You Xi Wang sat crossed legs on the floor to cultivate. He knew how much he needed to work to stop anyone from harming his closed one.


    Time flew away, and the sun rose once again, lighting up the darkness with its golden rays of light. You Xi Wang opened his eyes, turning around he saw Yuki sleeping like a log which made him shake his head, but what surprised him was Celestia sitting cross-legged and trying to meditate but her nose was twitching continuously, she was imitating You Xi Wang. He approached her and she heard his footsteps and opened her eyes.


    She pouted andined, "Big brother, my mom used to sit like you, she told me that this is meditating and it can strengthen one. Why am I not feeling stronger, I tried this before too?"


    You Xi Wang sat beside her and said, "HAHAHA, you will be stronger by this but not that simple, the human body needs to grow before it can be stronger. Just like a tree."


    "A tree?" Celestia tilted her head to a side and questioned him.


    He nodded and replied, "You take a seed, nt it in the ground, over time you nourish it with water and fertilizers. It grows into a sapling like you grew up from being a baby to a little fairy." Celestia giggled and jumped in hisp rubbing her small head on his chest.


    This bond was something unexinable, a girl tormented and left to die, who could not get herself to trust anyone was now so warm to You Xi Wang. Maybe because they both have no parents or because he gave her the much-needed hope. These two get along very well.


    You Xi Wang tickled her a bit, after a few rounds ofughter the girl asked him again, "Then how long do I have to wait to grow strong?"


    "Six years, when our Celes grows Twelve years old, she will be taught how to meditate and interact with the surrounding energy," he replied patiently.


    The little girl counted on her fingers, "That''s too long." she pouted. You Xi Wang stroked her hair, consoling her in a soft voice, "If you get great strength without understanding the value, you will exploit it. Misusing strength makes us bad guys. Tell me Celes, do you want to be a baddie?"


    Celestia hastily shook her head with great strength and said, "I will do as big brother says."


    He patted her head with a smile, "Good girl, now let''s get ready, you and Chris are headed to your new home. You family mansion, my family, which now also yours too, okay. There my big sister and grand aunty will take care of you."


    Celestia shook her head in protest, "No, I will be with big brother only." she said and tears started forming in her eyes. You Xi Wang consoled her again and said, "You want to be strong, right?" the girl nodded.


    You Xi Wang continued, "Then you have to understand what that strength is, where does ite from, etcetera. To get all this knowledge you need a teacher, I am just a student who is still learning so I cannot teach you but my family can. I have a grandaunt, she will teach you. I will be back in twenty days. I promise."


    This worked, Celestia agreed, but still somewhat hesitantly. You Xi Wang took her to the bathroom helped her clean up. He also nourished her body with his spiritual energy, which erased the scars on her back and made herplexion slightly pink and more adorable. He also braided her blonde hair into a French it adding to her cuteness.


    Ushijima Yuki woke up to this adorable sight. The little girl was talking about how she will never talk to You Xi Wang if he did not call her once a day while You Xi Wang kept nodding and braided her hair. Yuki woke up and walked to You Xi Wang from behind and hugged him.


    Celestia saw her and smiled happily. Yuki hugged her and kissed her cheeks in return. Just then a knock was heard. You Xi Wang walked to the door. He opened and saw Emily beaming at him. She threw herself in his arms and give him a big kiss.


    "Young master, I missed you. Hehe," she said after breaking from the kiss. Yuki greeted her and introduced her to Celestia. Emily instantly liked this little fairy and took her in her embrace. She got on with her job to dress her up as You Xi Wang left the room to talk with Robert who came to pick up the kids, Emily was just taking this as an excuse to meet her beloved.


    You Xi Wang found Robert standing in front of Neo Paul''s room. He approached him, "Robert, I have a job for you." thetter nodded, "Ask Takeshi Kinben, to contact his informants in Croma city, and gather every little detail about Ronald Colt. I want to know if Croma City Academy is alsoing to the Flora sector for the assessment."


    Robert replied, "As youmand, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang nodded and turn around as Emily was leading Celestia who was wearing a white frock, white sandals. She looked just like a little elf. She ran to You Xi Wang. Thetter also picked her up in his arms and she gave him a blossoming smile.


    He said, "Celes, now you go home okay. I will call you daily and wille back in twenty days okay." the girl nodded and Neo Paul also came out of his room with Chris in tow. They were both wearing sporty round neck shirts and shorts with ck sports shoes. Neo fed Chris with a medicinal pill that healed his eyes. This was the wonder of Metropia. No disease can not be cured.


    The group had a cheerful breakfast, after which both the children were taken to the council office and given new Identity cards. You Xi Wang asked Robert to be vignt on the way. Emily gave You Xi Wang a kiss and boarded the car, Chris gave everyone a fist bump and thanked them for the care. Chris was to be dropped at Neo''s family house as he discovered that Chris also has a beast bloodline, but it was sealed. Robert will drop him off and make sure he is being treated nicely.


    Celestia looked at You Xi Wang with teary eyes as the former hugged her, You Xi Wang whispered in her ears, "Celes, be strong my little fairy or you will be tickled." he tickled her and sheughed, he kissed her cheek and helped her into the car. She waved at him while sticking out her tongue. "Bye-bye tickle monster," she said as the door closed. You Xi Wang let out augh and the vehicle departed, soon disappearing from their vision.


    You Xi Wang turned to the group and said, "Let''s go. We have limited time on our hands."

 Chapter 43: The Whispering Woods.

    Chapter 43: The Whispering Woods.


    The group into training gear, You Xi Wang was forced to wear a battle suit by Ushijima Yuki. He carried his sword on his waist, his bow and quiver hung over his back and he carried a long spear in his hand. His battle suit was ck in color with white lines on the edges. He looked very handsome in the battle suit; it stuck to his body and highlighted some of his muscles. He looked like War God.


    Fenny g wore a thunder blue battle suit, she carried a handgun strapped on her waist; she looked slick and gone was that adorable girl. She had some kind of utility belts strapped on both of her thighs. Her hair was in a ponytail, she was battle-ready.


    Neo Paul was also in a battle suit, golden red in color. It was sticking to his body and showed all his muscles. He carried a halberd on his back and grenades on a belt that formed an X on his chest. He was very intimidating.


    An Ignis was wearing a crimson red battle suit, he was carrying a big backpack that carried medicines and food. None of them were carrying storage devices right now. The reason was that they wanted to experience hardships and survive for 18 days in the forest on their own capabilities. It will tamper their wills and senses.


    Yuki was wearing a white battle suit, which showcased her curves very well. She carried a samurai Katana, and her hair was done in a high ponytail. She looked exquisite but the kunai des strapped on her suit served as a warning. She was like a rose with thorns.


    The group set off; it took them fifteen minutes to reach the borders, this was where their camp will begin. They exchanged nces and with a nod, they all simultaneously moved forward. They formed a formation with An and Fenny being in the center while Neo Paul took the rear. You Xi Wang was the vanguard along with Yuki.


    Their movement was fast yet steady. In half an hour, they have moved to the midsection of the firstyer of whispering woods. The forest was grayish and spooky aura emitted from it, the trees here were also gray, they were called, Hollow Wood trees, the wood was hollow yet the tree was known for its rigidity, there were pores on the surface of the tree which allowed air to pass through it and give off the sound of whispers, hence the name whispering woods, the further inside the forest you are the more whispers you will hear. It was said that prolonged exposure to these whispers can cause you to go mad and insane.


    Fenny Sh spoke when the group stopped to take a breather, "I will deploy drones for surveince but they will give us only limited time support, we will have to rely on our own after that. What do you think?"


    You Xi Wang was the strategist of the team so everyone looked at him, he pondered for a bit and said, "We have more day time left, we hunt solo in the daytime and stay together at night, in the evening before sunset An will set traps and rms near our camp, also Fenny put some stun beads near the traps and rms, use the drones only for video and set them up on some tree branches, that will save the battery also, use infrared vision cam. Some beast might hide temperature in this spooky forest. Any suggestions?"


    Hisst question was like a surprise they all knew that he will always have back up ns and never asked for their advice before, despite being a good guy he was, An suggested, "How about we move towards some high vantage point If we can''t find a water source?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "How about we look for both. If we find a water source we camp and sleep on trees near the banks, we won''t be using fires at night to avoid beasts. How about it?"


    Everyone nodded, and the group moved again while maintaining formation. After an hour they found paw prints as big as a human foot, they stooped. Neo Paul made a quick analysis and said in a low voice, "Wolf type beast, capable of shadow warping."


    You Xi Wang asked the others to gather and spoke in a whisper, "ording to the books in Codex Hall, all the beasts in this forest can use dark elements. The forest has threeyers, everyyer has three sections, outer section, midsection, and inner section, we are in the midsection of the firstyer. The beasts here are said to be as strong as peak spirit formation. Neo is this the only set of paw prints you found or was it a pack?"


    Neo Paul replied, "Single set, which is weird. Wolves hunt in a pack."


    This was true, wolves lived in a pack, one wolf wandering around in the forest was very rare. You Xi Wang said, "It is a species which prefers being lonely or it has been exiled from its pack. There is only one species in this forest which can be called lone wolf, The Night Hound."


    His words shook the team, Ushijima Yuki asked him with a worried voice, "Xi Wang, you mean that it might be The Night Hound, that beast is spirit formation-level beast at birth, it can achieve Primal soul realm. That Night Hound?" the team became more serious after this, You Xi Wang shook his head.


    "This Night Hound is not that strong or it would have been inside the secondyer. It is weak at this moment, that is why it is in this section. Also if it was a primal soul cultivator or core formation beast, it would not have left its paw prints behind."


    Thye all thought and nodded. They knew that all Core Formation beasts don''t leave behind traces, their spirit energy erases them unconsciously.


    An asked, "So do we get this wolf or we leave it alone?"


    Neo spoke, "How about we track it and then observe it. We can decideter what to do."


    Everyone nodded and Fenny said in awe, "Finally kitty boy used his dead brain instead of muscles."


    They let out a chuckle and the whole team again set out to track the beast. The system was also discussing with You Xi Wang about how to capture this beast. The team drifted and steadily, just before sunset, they reached ake and from a distance, they could see a wolf, so dark that it was visible as an outline which was brighter than the night sky itself.


    ck fur and ck eyes with other line or color visible, it looked like it was darkness incarnated. The team watched every movement of the wolf while theyy in wait to see whether they can hunt it down or not.

 Chapter 44: The Night Hound.

    Chapter 44: The Night Hound.


    The groupy on the trees without making a single movement. This beast could move through the shadows, which gave it an edge in hunting and sneaking behind anyone. The beast cautiously looked around. When it found nothing suspicious it walked up to the bank and bent down to drink water.


    You Xi Wang knocked an arrow but just as he was about to shoot it he stopped and lowered his bow. He shook his head to the team, and they did not question but keptying there. After quenching the thirst, the wolf disappeared in the dark forest. The group then came down from the trees and looked at You Xi Wang in confusion.


    An asked, "Bro, why did you not take the shot?"


    You Xi Wang answered unhurriedly, "It was a female wolf, she is weak because she gave birth recently."


    Fenny retorted with a question, "How do you know that?"


    "Because I scanned this area, fifty meters away, I sensed some cubs." You Xi Wang pointed in the direction the wolf disappeared.


    Everyone understood why he did not take the shot. He would not kill a mother and capture her cubs. Night Hounds were very intelligent, it was said that if you hurt anyone of their kin, they will attack you when spotted regardless of anything. Despite being loners, these wolves mated once a year. They will release an undetectable spirit aura, which was visible only to their kin. Also, they were not immoral people.


    You Xi Wang moved fast and caught some fish from the river, the fish were ck in color. They were only five fish, they distributed among themselves and An took out a small kettle from his bag, he filled it with water and boiled the fish in eat. Neo Paul cleaned the fishes by removing its scales and bones, then they refilled the kettle and boiled it fried, roasted it lightly.


    The process was done this way because the fish in theke could have been poisonous while boiling them with water-induced with spirit energy would clean the poisonous element. The group sat together and ate, You Xi Wang gave half of his fish to Fenny as she needed more food than others. This was the effect of thunder affinity. A higher metabolism, higher diet.


    An left to set traps and rms with Fenny, Neo was on the first watch so he sat atop a tree while Yuki and You Xi Wang shared another treetop. Yuki looked at Xi Wang and held his hand, but You Xi Wang had his eyes closed and he kept cultivating while using his soul energy to monitor the surroundings.


    She smiled and shook her head. She also closed her eyes and started cultivating. An returned with Fenny after an hour he found the couple cultivating and did not disturb them and sat down on another treetop while Fenny took another one as her resting area.


    An took the second watch as Neo took a nap. The night was very calm and silent, except for asional roars of beasts echoing in the forest as they preyed, surrounded by the shroud of darkness. Soon, after another hour, it was You Xi Wang turn to watch. He opened his eyes and saw Yuki holding his hand as she cultivated. She sensed him waking up. She opened her eyes and looked at him.


    "Xi Wang, you meanie. You went into a meditative state as soon as you sat down. What use it is of me being beautiful?" she pouted her lips.


    You Xi Wang chuckled and instead of exining anything, he just kissed her pouting lips. This surprised her. Her face turned red. He parted the lips and said, "The reason I can focus is that I have you by my side, if we need to be strong and better than anyone else we have to be focused on what is the purpose of the moment we are in. I believe my beauty Yuki knows that."


    Yuki was lost in his soft, gentle gaze, his mellow voice as he spoke. She woke up from her stupor when she felt him tugging her hand.


    You Xi Wang smiled, "You continue cultivating, I will take your watch." he said.


    She nodded at him with affectionate eyes. He stood up and walked to where An was keeping watch. An nodded to him and they switched ces. They choose the highest tree in the vicinity to keep watch while they slept on the adjacent trees.


    You Xi Wang Kept watch for two hours and it was three in the night when he suddenly sensed something with his soul energy. He woke up Neo and asked him to keep silent and watch as he went out to check out the frantic spiritual moment.


    He took up his spear and moved through the forest. He reached the area with frantic movements and heard sounds of beasts battling with each other. He sat down by a tree, concealing his presence.


    A giant tiger was fighting the night hound, the tiger was just a spirit formation beast yet he was overwhelming the night hound because her body was weak and she was busy shielding her cubs cowering with each other under the fear of the tiger. The wolf was bing more and more desperate as the tiger kept attacking it relentlessly. The expression of worry was obvious in the wolf''s eyes, although they were ck, yet the charm was dim.


    Your Xi Wang was getting agitated with every moment passing. His body moved on its own and the next second he was swinging his spear towards the tiger''s w. CLANG, it was as if metal bashed against metal. A loud sound was produced and both of them backed up.


    The tiger looked at You Xi Wang with enraged eyes. It wanted to tear this human in front of him to pieces. How dare a weakling disrupt its n? The human was also calcting. This tiger was called Blood Bane tiger. It was known for its regenerative and berserk abilities. This tiger looked just like a normal tiger on earth in size and appearance, but its fur was blood red.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I know you can understand my words, do not worry, stay with your cubs, I will deal with this cat for you." his words were intended to the wolf behind him. The wolf looked cautious but when she sensed no ill intent, she slowly went back to her cubs.


    You Xi Wang channeled his spiritual energy in his battle suit and took down the top. He tied the sleeves around his waist and with a bare torso, he lifted his spear in his right hand and pointed it towards the tiger, taunting it.


    The tiger felt enraged, so it moved towards You Xi Wang roaring loudly.

 Chapter 45: New Team Members.

    Chapter 45: New Team Members.


    The tiger charged at You Xi Wang, while thetter block the beast by pointing the spearhead aimed at its eyes. The tiger was enraged, It''s movements grew frantic as it threw all the defense options out of its mind. The tiger''s eye shone with red light and it vanished from the ce it was standing.


    You Xi Wang felt a deadly threat aimed at his neck and he rolled down forward as a sound of air being shed was heard. The tiger moved quickly behind him and shed its death ws at You Xi Wang''s neck.


    You Xi Wang frowned. He understood that this opponent is not as simple as it looks. He spun the spear in his hand and suddenly stabbed upwards.


    PUCHI, the spear stabbed in the tiger w, the beast roared. It was so powerful that You Xi Wang''s team got alerted.


    An first checked on everyone, he did not find You Xi Wang, he turned to Neo, "Where is Xi Wang?"


    Neo replied, "I don''t know, he said he sensed something and left in that direction." he pointed to the direction where the roar came from.


    Yuki looked at An, Fenny, and Neo, "I am going." with that she left to look for her beloved.


    Fenny followed with no words and the boys shared a nce and followed while An said, "Did they think I will not go?"


    Neo chuckled and said, "You ask too many questions, nothing else."


    "Is that a bad thing?" questioned An, "Other than making you a big brother? Nothing bad." Neo replied.


    An shook his head as he followed the rest.


    Meanwhile, You Xi Wang was facing a berserk blood bane tiger with his spear. The beast tried many times but just got stabbed or shed by the spearhead. It backed off and growled at You Xi Wang. The blood flowing out of its wounds became a red mist that enshrouded everything around them, it was like a cloud of blood covering the beast and the human, this cloud was fifty meters in diameter.


    You Xi Wang found himself unable to see anything. He felt his senses dampen because of the mist. He asked the system, ''I guess we need to get serious here.''


    [Don''t worry master, just focus on feeling the soul energy around you, that way you can locate the tiger.] system stated.


    You Xi Wang closed his eyes and focused on the soul energy around him. He took in a deep breath, and he sensed a malicious re pointed at his back. He swiped his spear horizontally in a circle and the tiger backed off.


    ...


    Yuki saw the mist, she stopped, sensing around she discovered You Xi Wang battling with a beast inside the mist. Others also arrived but stooped, Neo looked at the mist, he chuckled as he said, "Blood mist of Blood Bane Tiger. I can dispel it."


    An nodded while thetter roared his roar disrupted the mist and slowly it cleared away.


    ...


    You Xi Wang realized that his team has arrived, but he kept swinging his spear and defense against the beast, after continuous shing, he surprised the beast who could notnd a single scratch on his prey, a weak human.


    Suddenly the beast heard a roar, it looked around, as if any other beast snatched its prey, more to his surprise the blood mist dispersed and he saw four humans looking at it with no fear.


    ...


    Yuki called out for You Xi Wang, "Get this done already, you will only have two hours to sleep if you take any longer."


    Fenny said, "Oye, baby Wang, get me this kitties fur also, I heard that you did an awesome move at the ascension duel, show us your dance."


    Neo and An also chimed in, asking him to show them his moves. In the past, he used to be the weakest of the group, that is why they wanted to see his improvement. You Xi Wang shook his head. He turned his gaze at the beast and said, "You are a beast yet I can not ept the way you tried to harm a mother by using her weak children as an excuse. It is time to put you down."


    You Xi Wang lifted his spear, held it parallel to the ground, and he advanced toward the beast, just as the beast would try to defend he swung his body in a way as if he was a spin-top. The sudden change in trajectory resulted in the beast getting shed.


    This carried on for a bit but You Xi Wang did not use his spear intent. His movements started getting faster and sharper as the attack progressed, Neo Paul stood up suddenly, he was a spear user, this move shocked the hell out of him as he could never imagine using the spear with such flexibility.


    You Xi Wang unconsciously used lightning spiritual energy and lightning snakes covered his body and spear, these snakes moved and formed a dragon behind him, the dragon moved just as the spear tip, the sight was mesmerizing, Fenny was shocked as she said, "Hey, didn''t he use wind element in his duel? Why is it lightning now?"


    Her questions attracted the team''s attention, but they ignored the question and just kept watching as You Xi Wang danced and wounded the beast. The onught stopped after a bit and the beast was covered in wounds, but it was still defiant to give up. You Xi Wang said, "You have my respect as you are strong, but despite all that, you are wrong."


    You Xi Wang put his spear parallel to the ground once more, the lightning dragon behind him shone as it resonated with the intent of its wielder.


    "Piercing dragon" a cried was heard from You Xi Wang''s mouth and the dragon shed, next second the spear was already stabbed through the tiger''s heart and the lightning dragon coiled the tiger, sending shocks in its body and killing it thoroughly.


    The dead beast fell down with dim eyes, You Xi Wang retracted his spear and felt a soft body in his embrace. He knew it was Yuki who hugged him. He hugged her waist and turned around to see the others.


    "Sorry for making you all worry, but this tiger wanted to hunt the weak night hound and its cubs. I could not watch her die and acted without telling you all."


    They chatted a bit while Neo collected the tiger beast meat for the group''s ration supplies and fur for Fenny. The group suddenly stooped talking and sprang up in a formation. The Night Hound was looking at them from five meters away, they did not notice her until she stepped on a twig and snapped it, which was obviously intentional. She looked at the beast meat neo was putting in the bag.


    You Xi Wang took half the meat and walked towards the wolf while others went on full alert in case the wolf made a move. You Xi Wang knelt in front of the wolf and put the meat down on the ground as he said, "Sorry, this was only a spirit formation beast, it''s core got destroyed in my attack."


    The wolf looked at the human in front of her and moved slightly close to him. She purred and sat down suddenly, You Xi Wang guessed something bad happened and scanned its whole body with his soul sense. While he was about to say something a voice sounded in his brain.


    "Human warrior, I am L, as you know I am a Night Hound, but I lost my realm when I gave birth to my cubs. They are offsprings of mine and snow shadow wolf. Their father is dead, now I am also about to leave them alone. During the battle, my beast core also broke because of the strain. I ask you to look after my cubs and make them strong. I have instructed them, although young they are very intelligent and will not be a burden on you. Please help me take care of them." it was the night hound who delivered a message to his mind space, just as You Xi Wang was about to reply the wolf sat her head down on the ground, and the glow in its eyes faded, the cubs sensed the departure of their mother and rushed to her body as they made weeping sounds.


    You Xi Wang nced at the cubs and shook his head, the team was also witnessed all this, Fenny asked with a deep voice, "Wang, did the wolf pass away?"


    He nodded and moved his hand to pat a cub near him, "She asked me to look after them."


    The team understood and Yuki also moved to pat a cub but the cubs growled at her and moved closer to You Xi Wang who said, "Don''t worry, none of them will harm you. You are now our family and team members."

    THE WORDSMITH.


    ............................


    The group returned to their camp after burying the Night Hound properly. They took the cubs along, five cubs were all divided as one will take care of each cub, You Xi Wang named the cub he chose Maya, it was an exquisite looking female wolf cub; it had white fur and a crescent moon-like ck mark on its forehead, the dark elemental skill it gained was an illusion, it cast a low-level skill to make its fur gray like all the other cubs but was found out when it ran low on energy.


    Maya means illusion in Hindi. In metropia, the kids are taught all thenguages so they canmunicate regardless of the region they are from. This method decreased the alienation of foreign individuals as they can understand what you are talking about.


    The team reached their camp area and sat down on a big tree,. The cubs scampered together tree hole and slept quietly. Fenny could not hold back and speak, "Baby Wang, what was with you using Lightning element, were you not a wind elemental?"


    You Xi Wang looked at all of them and sighed, "Looks like I have to tell you all, but before that please make a blood oath. I trust you all with my life but this involves a family secret. Anybody not bound with an oath should not learn about it."


    Yuki made an oath first, and the rest followed her actions. You Xi Wang nodded and exhaled heavily as he started speaking.


    "In this world, we have three types of cultivators. The first one, normal people who can use one element, the second, people who can use two elements, the third, rare Tri-elementals, like the council head." he paused and continued.


    "Other than the elders of You and Chen family, no one knows about it but both my parents were also people who could use two elements. My mom was proficient in water and wind element. My father was one too. He had mastery of fire and earth. Mom was injured when she was young which effected her potential, Dad was a rowdy, you all know, he had a stable foundation and could take on core formation experts despite being a spirit formation one."


    "Big sis Zhichi inherited mom''s talent while I am blessed by them both and I got five elemental prowess." he ced his palm face up and five balls of spiritual energy with different elements formed over it spinning around each other.


    The group sat there stunned, their mouths were wide open when they heard his speech, because it was very rare to have two elements, and only the council head had three elements. Watching their friend in front of them, they thought he was a monster.


    Fenny said, "You should keep it a secret until you are strong enough, Xi Wang. Who knows what will happen if dark dwellers caught a hint of your talent."


    You Xi Wang nodded and assured her with, "Except you guys, only granny xin, big sis and aunt Bei know about this. You guys need not fret, okay."


    An still said, "Don''t trust anyone blindly bro Wang."


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile, "If you guys are not worth trusting then no one in this universe can be trusted, I trust you all with my life."


    They all chatted for more and You Xi Wang took the watch, Maya opened her eyes and saw him sitting on the tree alone so she scurried out of the furry huddle and walked up to him. You Xi Wang noticed her approach and stretched out his hand towards her, Maya was very intelligent and she rubbed her small head on his hand and sat in hisp.


    You Xi Wang suddenly remembered that he needed to call Celestia. He hurriedly dialed her name on his Holo-phone. The ring was heard, Maya looked at the hologram with great interest, just as she tried to w it a sleepy face formed and scared her. She buried her head in You Xi Wang''sp, who chuckled at this scene.


    The face was of Celestia, who rubbed her eyes and saw You Xi Wang looking at her with a smile through the hologram. She sat upright and said, "Hello big brother, what took you so long?" her lips were pouted and she looked very cute.


    "Sorry, my little fairy, I had to save some babies from a bad guy. Do you want to meet one?" he replied.


    "Yes!" the little girl was very excited to see babies. You Xi Wang maneuvered his wrist and a furry creature sitting in hisp became visible to Celestia.


    "Big brother, this is not a baby." the girl pouted again, and You Xi Wang chuckled while he replied, "This is Maya, she is a wolf cub, her mother died fighting to save her."


    As she listened to these words her eyes became teary, she spoke in a whimper, "She is also like Celes?"


    You Xi Wang felt guilty for his choice of words but quickly handled the situation by saying, "Yes, she is just like my little fairy, she is pretty, cute, and intelligent. Just like you, my dear."


    Celestia smiled a little, and she said, "It is thanks to big brother that I can be strong now."


    "No, Celes, it is because you trust in me. Believe in yourself and the world will bow down to your prowess." You Xi Wang motivated her. His words made her eyes gain a resolved look.


    They chatted a bit as You Xi Wang asked her, "Celes, how do you like your new home?"


    "It is enormous and clean big brother, also everyone is so nice, sister Emily bought me new clothes and toy, big sis Zhichi told everyone in the family that I am now her little sister and if anyone bullied me they will be punished, hehehe, oh I made friends with XiaoXiao, Ben, Kim, and Jojo they are all so nice. Also, I tripped when I was running away from Granny Xin because she pinches my cheeks so much, she helped me up and apologized and was about to cry then I felt guilty, so I pinched her cheeks and said sorry, she kissed me and told me to call her granny xin. Oh, Aunty BeiBei is so nice she gave me a new Holo-phone and new games to y with, you know my holo-phone can now match my shoe color." she told him all about her treatment and was teasing him when she told him about the holo-phone. You Xi Wang shook his head at her tricks.


    The duo kept chatting for a long time. At some point, Celestiaid down while rambling about her day at the mansion and fell asleep. You Xi Wang disconnected the call and patted Maya, who slept in hisp.


    The sun was about to rise and a new day was about to begin. You Xi Wang and others will now begin their training camp in a real sense.

 Chapter 47: The Hunt Begins.

    Chapter 47: The Hunt Begins.


    The sun rose from the east and shone upon the ck leaves, making them look like ck gold. You Xi Wang, looked at his teammates as they all woke up groggily. Fenny saw Maya curled up in hisp, she wanted to pat her but her movement alerted Maya as she flinched back a bit.


    Fenny said, "Such a sharp little one, Wang, you better look after it or you are having it from me, okay?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Yes, momma fenny."


    She patted his head, "Good boy." was the remark she left as she walked up to An to eat the breakfast.


    The rest of the cubs woke up and cautiously approached the group, the group let them be and kept doing what they were doing, Maya growled and the cubs rxed. Turns out she was the eldest and was also the stronger one.


    Neo walked up to the cubs and crouched in front of them, he saw a beautiful cub looking at him curiously, the cubs were all as big as two human palms ced together. He stretched his hand to reach her, the cub flinched a bit yet still allowed him to touch herself, Neo smiled while he gently stroked her small head, after a few strokes the cub rubbed her head against his palm, showing eptance.


    The cub was silver-furred and had deep blue eyes, a streak of white fur was stretched across her side, it was arced like a crescent moon. Neo happily picked up the silver furred beauty in his arms and fed her food, An walked up to the cubs too and he served them all with some meat shreds, the three cubs ate it quickly and a jet ck-furred cub growled when a white-furred cub tried to take a bite of his food, An crouched down in front of the cubs and said in a soft voice, "Don''t worry we have enough for you to eat." he served more meat in front of the cubs as he watched them eat contently.


    Yuki noticed a cub was almost invisible as he sat in the tree''s shadow and she walked up to him and crouched down, she said, "Hello, little one, would you like to be friends with me?" her voice was like silver bells, the cub moved up to her and sniffed her before rubbing her head against her leg, Yuki happily picked her up, she walked up to You Xi Wang.


    She showed him the cub in her arms and asked, "This little beauty was invisible in the shadows. How about we name her Shadow?"


    He nodded as he kept stroking Maya''s back. She seemed to like his affectionate touch because she justid in hisp with her eyes closed. An picked the ck-furred cub just like him in temperament, diligent and orderly. The white-furred cub noticed all his siblings, getting along with a human, he was upset for being left out but then he saw a cute chubby girl eating food, he walked up to her and sat down looking at her.


    Fenny sensed a gaze, as she lifted her head she discovered that the source was sky-blue eyes and a snow-white furred cub, she passed on a piece of meat to him which was an appreciated gesture and the cub became good friends with her following that.


    Following the quick breakfast was the cub naming session, You Xi Wang already named his partner Maya, An named his partner Shroud, Neo named his silver-haired partner Luna as she had a crescent moon on her side, Yuki named her cub Shadow while Fenny choose the name Snowke.


    Maya was proficient in dark and ice elements but also had an illusion creating skill as a bonus, Shroud was a typical Night Hound jet ck and proficient in dark element, Luna could manipte water and darkness her prowess increased at night, Shadow could walk through shadows and could cast cold mist in surroundings, Snowke was all snow element and no darkness at all.


    An spoke up, disrupting the careless mood, "Guys, we need to hunt, what approach should we take for that?"


    You Xi Wang answered, "Two-levels high beasts during daylight, we hunt solo, stay close in case of something unexpected happens, also Neo you better call if the beast is any stronger than mid-level spirit formation or I will make you remember a good lesson this time."


    "Yuki, if you feel like adventuring the deeper zones informing no one and alone, and bad happens, then after we save you, you can forget about talking to me." his voice was serious and calm. The group realized how serious he was in his instructions and warnings.


    "We meet here at sundown also stay within two hundred meters radius that way we can provide support to each other," he said these words and kept Maya on his shoulder and patted her head. He took his weapons and fastened his sword and bow on his waist and back while he held his spear in his hand.


    He turned to see all the group ready to go hunting. He recalled a scene from a movie in his past life. He raised his spear to the sky and said, "Let the hunt begin."


    The others all followed his enthusiasm and yelled, "Let the hunt begin." they all just stood there and suddenly startedughing together.


    Yuki gave You Xi Wang a quick kiss, and she ran in the forest, "I won''t go deep in the forest." was what she left behind as she ran away.


    Fenny was the next one although she was a logistics head still she needed to have somebat experience, and she was a master at sniping. Snowke was sitting on her head with a smug expression as they left to hunt.


    Neo and An also followed and You Xi Wang moved to the ce he had fought with the Blood Bane Tiger to find his den, nearby. Beasts usually have stockpiles of beast cores.


    Yuki left for the northern area, Fenny left for northwestern woods, An moved to northeastern and Neo left for East. Every other direction led to either inner or outer zones of the forest. You Xi Wang moved close to the inner edge of the firstyer of the forest.

 Chapter 48: Cloud Boa.

    Chapter 48: Cloud Boa.


    You Xi Wang was moving in the forest very cautiously with Maya sitting on his shoulder, her little ears were twitching and turning at the sounds she heard from the surroundings indicating that she was also alert. They moved slowly and steadily, You Xi Wang spotted some beasts but they were all weaker than him so he let them be, Maya was too young to hunt on her own, and You Xi Wang did not want to end up her getting injured.


    They both neared a small swampy area there was fog around it, rotten beast carcasses could be seen inside the swamp. Xi Wang furrowed his brows, he did not like these murky ces. The stench made him scrunch up his nose, Maya also disliked this type of atmosphere as it dampened her sense of smell.


    Beasts depended on their instincts and when their instincts were dampened they would feel uneasy. You Xi Wang patted her head softly as he decided to move around the swamp. This decision might cost him a bit of time but it will be safer, that was his mindset as he set off.


    Among the trees covered with fog two sinister eyes were trained on Maya, who set over You Xi Wang''s shoulder. The figure moved and when it came out of the fog it turned out to be a snake, a snake that looked like the fog itself, it was twenty feet long and three feet wide. The head of this beast was gigantic. It slowly crawled to the swap and entered it. This beast did not leave a single mark on the ground.


    You Xi Wang had yet topletely circumnavigate the swap. All of a sudden he took Maya down from his shoulder and he rolled forward. He stood up after rolling, discarded his bow and spear as wielded his sword. His motions were fluid, one thought from his mind and the battlesuit let the bow fall down on the ground.


    Battlesuits were not only a piece of armor clothing, but they were also equipped with high tech features, such as suction, which strapped the weapons and bags on the users back with no actual bindings, they were also neurally operated.


    You Xi Wang was quick to react as he turned back facing the swamp, he mumbled to himself, "I am sure I felt someone attack just now."


    He closed his eyes and focused his soul to detect what his spirit energy could not see. His doubts came true, he detected a beast slithering and crawling in the swamp. He opened his eyes and used his spiritual energy to disperse the fog. After the fog dispersed he was surprised to see a behemoth in front of him looking at him with a malicious gaze. Maya growled at this sight.


    You Xi Wang muttered, "Good timing, Maya stand back and guard the weapons, be alert of your surroundings, Okay."


    Maya was very intelligent even if she was just a cub. She understood what You Xi Wang said and followed his instructions.


    "Let''s dance" his figure moved just as he finished his words. The sword was still sheathed. The Boa has never seen a prey so decisive in counter-attacking, while You Xi Wang thought he gave the beast too much time to put on his guard.


    The snake coiled his body and struck at You Xi Wang with its mouth open, Cloud Boa had a structure to normal Boa species snakes from earth but the dimensions were overproportioned. It had sixty teeth ced in six rows with ten teeth in each row. One row on the upper jaw one on each side, same was the arrangement on the lower jaw while thest two rows were parallel to each other were on the roof of its mouth. It looked beautiful from the outside but was bizarre and deadly on the inside.


    You Xi Wang was very alert of this strike but instead of retreating You Xi Wang suddenly leaned forward bending his back. The snake was unable to adjust its attack because of its fast speed. It missed the target and You Xi Wang would not let such a chance pass away, he draw his sword out of the sheath.


    "Pheonix draw" he bellowed. A ck glint shed under the snake and it hissed as its head flew away from the body. The headnded on the ground it slithered and hissed in pain, yet it was alive. This was a specialty of Cloud Boa. It can stay alive for a week after it''s head is cut off its body. It was not a poisonous snake beast, rather they killed through constricting its prey to death.


    You Xi Wang moved to the slithering head and pointed his sword towards it. He poked the center of the snakehead with his sword and with some effort he managed to get through its hard bones. He dug the spirit core out of the snake''s head, slowly the light in its eyes dimmed indicating its death.


    The spirit core was as big as a peach, You Xi Wang tossed the core to Maya who was looking at it with glittering eyes. Maya immediately started licking it up after cing the core between its paws, she would look up to You Xi Wang form time to time with a gratified gaze.


    You Xi Wang could have used the core for himself but he was practicing the five elemental physique which was faster than any other method in this world. He moved towards the body of the beast and skinned it whole, he was the maestro of material science after all.


    ''System.'' You Xi Wang called out in his mind.


    [Yes, master.] the system answered.


    ''I want to use my spiritual energy to augment my senses can we do that?'' You Xi Wang asked for its advice.


    [Technically yes, but the consumption will be very high.] system replied.


    ''Hmmm... how about I use it only when I am entering the den?'' You Xi Wang thought about it and decided to follow this n as he stored some of the snake meat away by wrapping it in the snakeskin.


    He picked up Maya who was busy licking the core and ced her on his shoulder as they started walking again. spine


    They moved around a bit trying to find the den and suddenly spotted some humans, You Xi Wang hid among the trees and ay low as he watched them walk away. He spoke with a cold voice, "Mirai Group dogs. You won''t walk away alive.

 Chapter 49: Treasure And Trouble.

    Chapter 49: Treasure And Trouble.


    You Xi Wang carried Maya on his shoulder and searched the vicinity for the location of the Blood Bane Tiger''s den. After spending two hours and searching with rapt attention, he discovered that from a certain distance the trees looked distorted. He climbed on the top of the tallest tree in the area and to his surprise; he noticed that the spiritual energy in the center was acting weirdly. The trees seemed to be arranged in an array.


    He had learned from his usage of the technique pavilion that these arrays were formed naturally and only beasts could walk through them with no restrictions. This meant You Xi Wang will have to solve this array or he will be trapped inside if he enters recklessly.


    Arrays are formed by arranging objects in a certain order and in this case, it is the gray-colored Hollow Wood trees that acted as array points and as theymunicated with the spiritual energy in the surrounding an illusion manifested in the center covering the ce in illusion.


    You Xi Wang quickly called his friends by his Holo-phone, informing them about his motive and the array. He instructed them to carry on with their hunt, but if he does not return to camp but the evening they cane here to search, he also passed on his coordinates to them.


    You Xi Wang stroked Maya''s soft fur as he stood there observing the array in front of him. He was very cautious because this was the first time he ever encountered a natural formation. He asked the system.


    ''System, can we not destroy this illusion array?''


    [This is a natural array. If you try to destroy it, the energy in the core of this array might erupt after all spiritual energy is vtile.] the system replied.


    ''Hmm then how about I use my soul energy to solve it and enter this array?'' You Xi Wang questioned again.


    [Why waste the soul energy when your new partner can lead you through it? She is an intelligent beast blessed with illusion skills herself.] system suggested.


    You Xi Wang was also quick on uptake. He spoke, Maya, do you know inside this array is the den of that Blood Bane Tiger? I think he might have many cores stored in there. Will you be able to lead me through, sweetheart?"


    Maya understood his words as she rubbed her small head against his neck in affirmation. He put her down on the ground and she walked ahead of him as both a human and cub entered the array.


    Maya strolled, she would nce around before each step, You Xi Wang nodded at this, it meant she was following her instincts. Maya was a lone wolf beast, they had the sharpest of instincts among beasts.


    She led him for a while when suddenly the array vanished. In front of them was a big cave covered with vines, leaving only a small opening. You Xi Wang picked her up and hugged her with affection. He spoke in praise, "Our little Maya is so smart."


    Maya could sense that he was praising her ability, so she also licked his cheek, making him chuckle. He ced her back on his shoulder and took up his bow and knocked an arrow. He aimed for inside the cave. The arrow had a glowing body, it was called ''spark'', especially used for scouting dark areas just like the cave.


    He let the arrow loose and with a whizzing sound the arrow flew inside the cave lighting it up. There were no beasts inside the cave, but some bones and bags were apparent. Seems like the Tiger collected its prey''s stuff.


    You Xi Wang walked inside with his bow and arrow while his spear was stuck to his back this time. The reason was simple spear could not be used to tackle or defend any beasts inside because the cave was not as big as it seemed to be on the outside. He had to bend down a bit because the ceiling lowered as he walked inside. In a corner of the caveid shiny ball-like objects and some bags.


    You Xi Wang walked up and found a little mound of beast cores just like he suspected the Tiger stockpiled the cores. He bent down and rummaged through the bags until he found out that the bags contained medicines and dry rations that could still be used. He opened thest bag and inside itid a ball which seemed to be one foot in diameter, he took it out and Maya suddenly flinched, she came behind him, her eyes were trained on the ball.


    You Xi Wang noticed that she was agitated as she gazed at this ball. He turned the ball towards the light and saw a button on it, he pressed the button and the ball opened with its upper half sliding along its edges. Inside was a pod. This pod shook You Xi Wang to the depth of his core.


    This pod was called one of the highest grade elixir. It was called the blood shackle tree. This tree when matured will bear fruit every ten years, unlike those trees which would only bear fruit once in a century. It was also a rare elixir. Even The Council of Metropia would spare no expense to have this tree in their hands. You Xi Wang closed the ball again and rummaged through the bag. He found a dairy inside, which was rare after all in these modern times people hardly used paper and pen. He opened the diary and on the first page some words were written, ''Micheal Wistrom, senior explorer, Seedling.''


    You Xi Wang decided that he would read this diaryter and put it back in the bag along with the ball. He was now inside the array for over two hours and he had to get back to the camp too. He stored the bag with the pod inside his battle suits for emergency storage which could only store a medical kit and some emergency tools. The bag was only as big, it seemed to be made of special fabric.


    He carried all the beast cores inside another bag and held it in hand. He lifted other bags with rations and medicines as well and asked Maya to lead the way out. He erased his tracks on the way back with the help of spiritual energy.


    On the way back he also threw away the leftover of the Cloud Boa inside the swamp, totally erasing any signs of battle or his arrival in the area. He rushed back to the camping area to meet his friends.


    Sunset slowly and anky man wearing a ck cloak arrived near the array. He searched around for a bit and entered the array. He discovered nothing other than some beast cores and some bags filled with medicines. The man looked around in the vicinity but found no traces and moved towards the inner section of the forest.

 Chapter 50: Encounter.

    Chapter 50: Encounter.


    You Xi Wang returned to his camping site and found his friends waiting for him somewhat anxiously. They all heaved a sigh of relief at his arrival, Yuki came forward and gave him a hug while Fenny jeered at him, "Baby Wang, you won''t mend your ways right? Always making us worry by entering difficult situations."


    He smiled sheepishly and told them why he entered the array. He handed the bags to An and said, "Put these medicines in our own bags and dispose of these, I suspect some people might be after what I found in the den."


    His words piqued the group''s curiosity and Neo asked him, "What did you discover in that ce?"


    You Xi Wang spoke in their minds, "Blood Shackle tree pod." everyone sucked in a deep breath, after a pause, You Xi Wang continued, "Keep this thing a secret. It can lead our families to destruction." he knew his friends will say nothing about this incident as they did not want their families to be implicated as for Yuki she had no duties towards the council so she will not leak it.


    He then narrated the whole thing and Fenny spoke, "It may be a bag to disrupt the tracking chip inside the container when you took it out someone must have noticed the tracking signal."


    You Xi Wang took out the bag from his emergency storage and showed it to Fenny who eximed from surprise but quickly calmed down and exined, "This stuff here is called Chhal or Guile silk, used for manufacturing stealth equipment and clothing, produced in the most interesting region of Metropia. The Novus sector, as the name suggests it is a very interesting ce."


    You Xi Wang kept the bag and just as he was about to speak something he saw Maya using her illusion to cover all the cubs making them look like ordinary Night hounds. He used the hood equipment in the battle suit and others looked at him in confusion, soon Fenny noticed one drone stopped transmitting and she said in a low voice, "We havepany."


    Others also wore the hoods and sat down making it look normal and before even a minute a ck-cloaked figure appeared near them. You Xi Wang turned and pointed his spear at this figure and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you and what is your motive to approach us?"


    The cloaked figure let out a hoarseugh and spoke, "It is hard to see such alert people these days, but rx kid I only came to the river to collect some water and then I noticed human presence so I came by." this voice was hoarse making it hard to determine the figure''s gender.


    You Xi Wang did not reply but kept aiming his spear at the figure. The figure saw that this guy did not let his guard down and shrugged. This person was about to leave when the group of cubs came into sight. Heughed again and spoke, "What a find, hey kid, how much for these cubs. Name your price, I want them."


    You Xi Wang only said, "Not selling" the figure replied, "Do you believe, I can have them after I kill you all?" at this threat all of them brandished their weapons, and You Xi Wang said, "Wanna try?"


    The figure saw that all these kids were battle tampered and it would be hard to deal with them collectively as they stood in a formation, ready to go at it anytime. He shook his head and left. The group waited for a bit and found out that the person had already left. The group heaved a sigh of relief. You Xi Wang sat down on the ground.


    "The threat which follows the treasure." others also nodded as An spoke these words. The cubs came by their sides, some of them snuggled while some just sat down next to the human partners. Maya climbed up in You Xi Wang''sp andid down there with her eyes closed.


    Neo Paul was lost in thought and said in a low voice, "Do you know what people pet Night Hounds?"


    They shook their heads and Neo replied, "Dark dwellers above Core formation use Night Hounds to guard their hideouts. This is an information only a few people know. My uncle is a beast tamer in the Council. So I think we dodged a bullet there."


    Yuki spoke, "Not really, dark dwellers are very stubborn and they don''t give up. We need to be on guard against that person and also he was a core formation-level cultivator. Should we request back up from the Council?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Call your parents, if they are not avable, I will call Aunt Bei,"


    Yuki nodded and called her parents by her Holo-phone, she told them and they both agreed toe and ask the kids to be alert and stay together. They will arrive in six hours.


    The kids agreed and ate the snake meat You Xi Wang got them and Fenny was busy making some adjustments to their weapons, earlier You Xi Wang asked her to make some changes to the spearhead as it was too limited in its stabs as the spearhead pointed towards one direction.


    The group was busy and You Xi Wang called Celestia and his sister was there too. He talked to them for a bit before he stood up to take the watch duty. The moon shone brightly in the sky and he held the newly adjusted spear in his hand. The spearhead was more like a star now, four des in style simr to the main spearhead but smaller by three and four inches were prodding out two from both sides, forming a star.


    You Xi Wang had a solemn expression on his face as he knew this night will not be as silent as it seemed, a storm wasing and the group will have to face it with all their might.


    He took a deep breath and waited for the dark dweller to make a move on them.

 Chapter 51: Rumble in the Moonlight.

    Chapter 51: Rumble in the Moonlight.


    You Xi Wang stood on the top branch of the tree watching the surroundings with rapt attention. His fellow teammates were also not rxed like they usually were. They knew the graveness of this issue. The dark dweller was a core formation-level expert. It was said that a core formation-level cultivator was twenty times stronger than the spirit formation one, and that was when thetter was on its peak, the peak spiritual formation, while they were all early level cultivators.


    Furtherplicating the situation was them not having man-to-man battle experience, they have sparred at home but it was just an educational spar, not a battle with lives at stake, the more disheartening fact was that they had an idea about the assant''s abilities.


    The forest was very silent tonight, no wind flowing, no beast roars, it was as if the forest has sensed something and thus has fallen quiet. Suddenly You Xi Wang felt a weird movement in the spiritual energy as he let out a whistle, alerting his friends who sprang up into action instantly.


    Fenny picked up her sniper rifle and vanished in the forest. Neo came and stood on You Xi Wang''s right side with his halberd ready in battle stance. Yuki took the left point with her hand resting on the Katana, An covered the back with his spirit assault rifle in his hand.


    They focused and in front of them somewhat fifty meters away emerged a figure, The ck cloak reflected the moonlight. The figure spoke, "I am called Shade, I belong to The Death Sect, you kids denied me of those cubs" before he can finish his words he was interrupted by You Xi Wang, who covered his feet with wind element and charged at this man.


    Shade was taken back to see how this young one charged at him. His wrinkled face shed with an ugly smile under the cloak. You Xi Wang charged and swung his spear at the man''s neck. But Shade blocked it with just his finger. Neo appeared at this moment and shed with the side de of his halberd, moving it vertically to the opponent''s head. This attack was blocked. They allnded on the ground after this.


    Both the teenagers retreated, the Shadeughed in his hoarse voice, "Hahaha, very interesting." and he vanished from his spot, on the other side Yuki moved to the front of the formation she bent down and drew her saber from its sheath making a horizontal sh, the Shade did not expect such fast and capable teamwork and he retreated, despite being a core formation-level expert he was not capable of resisting the damage from these attacks.


    An took aim and fired his rifle with no hesitation, the bullets followed a straight line as if they were a train, Shade deflected them all but An now shifted the aim to shoot all over the body of the shade aiming for his joints, he shot a bullet at his knee, Shade smirked and used his spiritual energy to deflect but suddenly he sensed pain in his right knee, bewildered he looked down and saw blood flowing from his knee and in the ce of flesh and bone, there was a hole as big as a fist.


    After the initial shock and surprise Shade bellowed a painful scream stirring up the forest and before he could think of venting his anger, a spike raised from the earth and pierced his left foot too, he was too busy screaming to avoid the spike, it was Neo who used his elemental affinity, usually, Sun lions were beasts with fire elemental affinity but Neo has inherited his father''s earth elemental affinity.


    Their first aim was nowplete; movement reduction. This was their basic strategy. Being together since a young age they have developed some predetermined offense ns when fighting a target stronger than the whole group. The first step is to control its moment.


    When An fired at all the joints of Shade''s body Fenny had also fired at his knee timing it so well that An''s bullet acted as a cover for her bullet and when Shade revolved his spiritual energy to deflect the bullets for a moment, because of his carelessness or overconfidence, his barrier was weakened at that point. The bullet of a sniper spiritual sniper rifle was high caliber ammunition capable of shooting a Primal soul expert to death if given a good shot at the head.


    As for the earth spike that was done by taking the advantage of Shade ignoring them because of his shock. Yuki held her kunai knives and covered them with her ice spiritual energy and threw them at Shade. This time thetter did not rx or take his focus away, blocked it.


    Shade used his spatial treasure and took out a whip from it as he spoke, "I underestimated you, now I will tame you and may you beg for mercy." heshed his whip out on the group and they all dispersed taking their spots on four different spots to face thisshing.


    You Xi Wang, took out his bow and arrow, knocking an arrow as he spoke, "Tag attack."


    The other three nodded. The formation was simple. One attack, one support, while Fenny stays on stand by and was free to take a shot if it was clean and manageable.


    Yuki moved and You Xi Wang supported her, An paired up with Neo.


    Yuki nodded, and she moved swiftly towards the core realm fighter, he whipped his whip and loud ps were produced from this movement and the whip moved towards Yuki, but You X Wang was ready and he fired his arrows intercepting the whip and giving Yuki the time to close in.


    Neo also moved and behind him, An spoke, "Follow Yuki''s lead we will take him down."


    Yuki Closed in with her Katana and shed, it was blocked and she retreated, followed by her was Neo who closed in and shed his halberd and retreated when his attack was blocked. This move was to harass the target mentally and making him aggrieved, the angrier he became the more chances were there for a slip up to appear.


    This was a battle of mind fought with weapons.

 Chapter 52: Super Nova.

    Chapter 52: Super Nova.


    Yuki and Neo kept attacking one by one, this move of the group infuriated the Shade, he blocked again and again but when it crossed he reached the limit of his patience; he roared and his body emitted the shock wave of spiritual energy pushing them all away. In the diameter of fifty meters, all the trees were uprooted.


    The group stabilized themselves with great effort, and they all had a grave look on their faces. You Xi Wang spoke in a low voice, "Shit just got real. This prick will be a pain to deal with now."


    An spoke, "I did not believe it will be easy from the start, but now it will be even harder. We won''t be able to get close to him because of his so-called domain. What do we do now?"


    Yuki spoke, "Tiring him out seems to be the only way, but how? He is a Core-formation expert."


    You Xi Wang replied, "Kite. We run in the forest, he will chase, we switch and the game continues. I will be the second sniper with Fenny. Now disperse, I take the first turn and hide your spiritual pressure."


    This discussion only took two breaths. They all dispersed in the forest being mindful of the distance between them and hiding their spiritual pressures to the minimal. You Xi Wang took out his sword and shouted to the Shade, "Hey, chump. Come get a piece of daddy if you have balls." his voice was reeking of disgust and mockery, which pissed the Shade even more.


    Shade moved to swing his whip at You Xi Wang but thetter charged forward and just as the whip was about tond a blow on him, a bullet went past his ear and stuck the whip deflecting it. It was the second bullet Fenny shot, this dy allowed You Xi Wang to move with wind elemental spiritual energy, with his body bent slightly forward, he appeared in front of the shade and shed his sword, a ck glint shed and You Xi Wang retreated vanishing into the forest.


    The oue of his sh was a wound was formed across Shade''s chest. The wound was deep and blood poured out from it. Shade looked at the retreating shadow, filled with anger as his eyes turned blood red and he chased after You Xi Wang.


    Fenny who was watching all this from a distance through her scope, called Yuki, Neo, and An via her Holo-phone and said, "He is on to Xi Wang, one of youe and guard the cubs I am following them. Others follow too, in case Xi Wang needs support."


    Fenny was right now the strategist of the team as You Xi Wang was busy running, this was the chain ofmand if You Xi Wang is not there the team will follow her lead as she was the logistic head, and with the help of her drones, she could monitor the whole area and have even a better idea about the scenario.


    They all heeded her words and moved into action, while Fenny picked up her sniper and left towards the direction You Xi Wang left in. An came to the cubs while Yuki and Neo converged with Fenny.


    Meanwhile You Xi Wang was running restlessly and Shade was chasing him. He would asionally exchange blows with him and then ran away again. Whenever he was in a tough spot Fenny would take a shot and give him a chance to getaway. Shade would use brute strength to counter all his attacks.


    After half an hour Neo changed ces with him and You Xi Wang relieved Fenny and became the sniper, Yuki was running ahead of the group and she set many traps and informed Neo to be careful and avoid them, the traps were set on You Xi Wang''s instructions, they were all mildly poisonous, if one fell prey to them overtime they will slowly lose their power.


    Shade fell prey to some traps over his reckless chase and one hour passed. Now Neo was switched with Yuki and the kiting continue. Shade regretted not ending these kids earlier. This group has made aplete mockery of his power.


    They kept switching and attacking, while Shade was helpless against these kids. The group also kept sure that they run in either the outer section or the middle section of the firstyer of the forest.


    They again reached the spot which used to be their campsite, Shade was panting, wounds on his legs were now rotting, the wound on his chest was delivered by purgatory, it was slowly burning him from the inside. His breathing was ragged, his cloak was now torn at ces, You Xi Wang handed the sniper rifle to Fenny and approached the group.


    During the chase, An provided medical aid to all the members of his team and give them stamina recovering drinks and supplements. This kept the group in a good shape. An also moved together with You Xi Wang and approached Neo and Yuki, who were fighting Shade.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "An, let''s try to end this piece of shit before the sunes up."


    An said, "I thought you would not ask me at all."


    You Xi Wang swung his spear and ran towards Shade. He was fearless. Shade was about to use a spiritual wave attack as he threw a palm towards the approaching but An took a shot at him just as he was about tounch the attack, this shot interrupted his energy release and his energy sted in his own hand turning it into mush. This was an opportunity for You Xi Wang, and he used it very well too. A strand of lightning concentrated on the spearhead and just as he was near Shade he spoke in his mind, ''System, now.''


    The system answered instantly, [Yes, master]


    The system used the soul force to stun Shade for a bit and You Xi Wang moved his spearhead and stabbed it through Shade''s forehead, the strand of lightning destroyed the spirit root of Shade. You Xi Wang retreated as he knew this was not enough to kill a dark dweller. They all had some cards up their sleeves.


    There was only a surprise in his eyes as he felt life seeping out of his body. He spoke with a slow pace, "Dual spiritual root. I made a big mistake not ending your life the moment I saw you. But I will take you down with me."


    [Master, this guy ns to explode his core, that will be devastating. Kill him before he can do it.] the system issued a warning.


    You Xi Wang answered, ''My energy won''t be enough.''


    [How about you use the five elements altogether and your friends also use their strongest strike. Then you will take down this prick.] the system answered.


    You Xi Wang asked all his friends to deliver their strongest attack as he focused all five elements in his body to fuse. You Xi Wang could only manipte a small amount of five elements together. The whole energy was only as big as a grain of rice, but the amount of power in this grain was terrifying.


    An and others gulped when they saw this, but they had bigger things to focus on, so they delivered their strongest attacks. Fenny fused her whole lightning energy in a bullet and shot. The bullet hit right on the chest and exploded, opening a hole. Neo followed and delivered a heavy punch filled with earth element this punch made the remaining of Shade''s chest cave in, Yuki made a sh with her Katana using the surplus of her ice element and this sh froze half of the dark dweller''s body, An used his rifle and delivered a heavy spray of fire bullets setting the remaining unharmed body of the dark dweller on fire.


    These were the strongest moves they had, Lightening bullet, Brawler king''s fist, Blizzard sh, and Fire rain, used by Fenny, Neo, Yuki, and An respectively.


    You Xi Wang did not dy and blew the grain towards Shade''s already inflicted body and when the grainnded on his body, a golden glow lit up the surrounding, causing them all to close their eyes, it was as if the sun has fallen right on the earth. When the glow resided, there was a crater left in shade''s ce.


    The crater was fifty meters in diameter and at least ten meters in depth. You Xi Wang mumbled, "I will call this move, Super Nova."

 Chapter 53: Sunny Side Up

    Chapter 53: Sunny Side Up


    The group looked at each other in a stupor. They could not believe the Impact of You Xi Wang''s move had on the surroundings. At first, it was only the Shade uprooting the trees, but how would they exin the crater.


    You Xi Wang said, "He exploded his core, and we ran away." Others understood what he was hinting at and nodded. You Xi Wang wanted to hide his prowess and put it all on the Shade. He was about to take a step when he fell on the ground. Yuki reached him, held him up with an anxious expression n her face.


    She looked at An and hissed, "What are you waiting for? Check him up, An." thetter came back to his senses. He checked You Xi Wang''s pulse and spoke, "He is fine, just exhausted his spiritual energy."


    They all heaved a sigh of relief. Neo spoke up, "We still have two hours before your parents get here Yuki, I will take the watch, you guys look after bro Wang." after he was done speaking his piece he left to take the guard duty. Yuki and An took You Xi Wang to a tree while Fenny followed them with the cubs in her hands.


    Maya jumped and sat down on You Xi Wang''s chest and coiled herself and fell asleep over his body. Fenny saw this and said, "Yuki, looks like you have apetition." she stroked Snowke, who was nibbling on some meat shred.


    Yuki smiled and said, "Nah, Momma Fenny, how do you get all these ideas in your brains?"


    Fenny replied with her head held high, "It is because I care for you, my dear children." they both looked at each other and suddenlyughed. They both chatted as An took a nap.


    The sky was now slightly lit up and two figures approached them at high speed. It was none other than Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma, They were wearing their council enforcer uniform battle suits and were moving through the forest quickly. Takeshi Kinben spoke, "I hope Yuki is fine."


    Ushijima Choma replied as they continued moving through the dense forest, "Don''t worry she will be fine, she is not alone in this."


    Her husband only nodded, and they both increased their speed even more.


    ...


    An was on guard duty suddenly, stood up, and shouted, "Who goes there?" while he aimed his rifle at the spot he detected movement from.


    A figure appeared behind his back and said in a slow voice, "Young master An next time when you take guard duty, shoot first or inform your teammates first and not alert the intruders." this figure was none other than Takeshi Kinben, An found his body stiffen for a second and he slowly exhaled deeply and replied, "Thank you for your pointer, Uncle Takeshi."


    Thetter smiled and patted his back. They both descended the treetop and found Ushijima Choma talking to Neo. Yuki and Fenny were asleep while You Xi Wangid next to Yuki.


    They approached You Xi Wang but before they could Maya stood up and shed her canines at Ushijima Choma and Takeshi Kinben, Snowke and Shadow stood up beside their respective partners.


    An spoke in a soft voice, "Maya, they are friends." Still, a look of caution was clear on the cubs. Yuki noticed the voices and sat up. When she looked around she found out her parents have arrived and she saw the cubs on their guard. She stroked Shadow and Maya and said, "Rx, they are friends."


    Shadow and Snowke backed off, yet Maya only sat on her two hind legs maintaining vignce. The group just smiled as they realized Maya was looking out for exhausted You Xi Wang. Yuki stood up and hugged her parents. She exined how You Xi Wang exhausted his spiritual energy while fighting the dark dweller.


    They all exined how they couldpete with the Shade, but when they neared the end, they all slowed down and Fenny said, "Xi Wang warned us all about how that man was nning to detonate his core, resulting in all of us retreating out of range."


    Ushijima Choma Calcted and found the condition to be usible but Fenny provided her with footage from drones which proved that they were telling the truth. But they made it look as if all the drones were one by one ran out of battery and the one focused over You Xi Wang was driven away by the impact of his spear strike.


    You Xi Wang slowly woke up, but he kept lying down, Maya sensed him waking up, so she got down from his chest and licked his face which tickled him, he said, "Hahaha, okay Maya... hahaha.. that tickles. Stop." and he sat up to make her stop. She climbed over his shoulder and sat down there with a satisfied expression on her face.


    Ushijima Choma greeted him and said, "Xi Wang, you all will get good credits from the Council, also thank you for looking after Yuki in the battle."


    You Xi Wang has just woke up and as per his habit he was looking for a shoulder to ce his head on and Ushijima Choma was the closest so he just ced his head on her shoulder and said in a groggy manner, "Issokay mom, we are a family. No need for thanks." while the team shook their heads with a smile while Ushijima Choma was shocked by his gesture and answer.


    You Xi Wang sat there in a half-asleep state when Yuki said, "Mom Xi Wang loved his family more than anything. His mother would wake him up and he will act just like now, Big Sis Zhichi has taken this role now. Remember when we all used to have night stays at his ce before exam sses, we learned all this then."


    Ushijima Choma nodded in understanding. Turns out You Xi Wang thought she was his mom and thus acted in this way. You Xi Wang tried to analyze what had just happened and realized that this woman was not his mother. He hurriedly stepped back from Ushijima Choma and looked down at the floor.


    He spoke, "I am apologise for acting like that. I hope you forgive me."


    Ushijima Choma wanted to say something but Takeshi Kinben spoke first, "It''s okay Xi Wang. You guys rest. We will patrol the surroundings and leave when the sunes up."


    He tugged her wife. Thetter followed. Soon they vanished into the thick woods. The sky has now lit up dimly. You Xi Wang sat there in silence and kept staring into the distance. A teardrop fell from his eye as he recalled all the moments he spent with his mother both in past life and current.


    A smile formed on his lips afterward, and he wiped his tear and stood up. He looked at Yuki and said, "Call your parents, they should have breakfast before they leave." just as he was done speaking first rays of the morning sun spread across the sky.

 Chapter 54: The Journal.

    Chapter 54: The Journal.


    Yuki heard his words and called her parents back to the camp for breakfast. You Xi Wang acted as if nothing happened earlier and it reduced the awkwardness between him and Ushijima Choma. He was calling her auntie now. After having breakfast, the two enforcers left for the city.


    The group got ready to hunt when You Xi Wang said that he will start a littleter because he still needed to regain his full power. Others agreed and left to hunt with their cubs. You Xi Wang sat on a tree branch, looking down at the river stream and the gray-colored leaves surrounding him, this view was not as shabby as it looked, he smiled and mumbled, "Nature has its own sense of beauty regardless of how different it is, it is beautiful."


    Maya was lying down in hisp, as usual, she seemed to sleep, You Xi Wang stroked her back gently. He took out the Guile silk bag, only took out the journal, and put the bag back in the storage space. He opened the first page of the journal.


    There were words written on it reading, ''Micheal Wistrom, Senior Explorer, Seedling.''


    You Xi Wang turned the page. It was very detailed.


    (15, August 3000.


    Today is my first day as the senior explorer here at Seedling Inc. I have been wanting to work in thispany for so long. Finally, I can provide my family with a good life they deserve.)


    This was the only entry on the page. You Xi Wang thought and closed the journal, he turned his Holo-phone and logged into his Codex Hall ount. He searched for apany named Seedling Incorporation. This was his motive, he wanted to know about thispany before he reads the things written inside the journal.


    He found out that this was a pharmaceuticalpany that mainly focused on rare herbs, their goal was to hybridize the normal herbs by using different techniques and cross-breeding them with rare herbs. This was a unique idea, and they have produced some goals. After reading the basic details, he closed the page and went back to the journal.


    He went to the third page.


    (1, September 3000.


    It has been half a month since I started working here. I have to say this ce is very much like home to me now. The Co-staff is very supportive. Today the CEO called me in and praised my work. As a bonus, I got one day off, I will take my princess to the amusement park.) the entry ended.


    You Xi Wang turned the page again.


    (18, September 3000.


    Today when I was leaving for home I saw a vehicle with the Mirai group standing in the parking lot, looking at my gaze a guard told me that ourpany is working in partnership with the Mirai Group.


    As expected of a rising and sessful pharmaceutical, even the giant like the Mirai Group wants to work with us.)


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow as he spoke in a low voice. Looks like the dark dwellers are taking roots in society. He dialed for his aunt on his Holo-phone. The call connected instantly, "Hello, Xiao Wang, are you okay?" Chen Qianbei asked hurriedly.


    "Hello, I am fine, aunt. Why are you so worried? Did something happen at home?" he asked in reply.


    "No, everything is fine. Ushijima Choma told me that you kids defeated a core-formation dark dweller. So, I was worried about you." she replied calmly, yet motherly affection was clear in her voice.


    "Hahaha, don''t worry, we are all fine," he assured her while scratching his nose sheepishly.


    In the hologram, Chen Qianbei could be seen smiling. She would only smile when she was with her closest people.


    You Xi Wang asked her, "Aunty, can I ask you to do something for me? You family could not do much in this."


    Chen Qianbei said, "Anything for you my son, say what is it that bothers you?"


    "I need info on Seedling Incorporation." You Xi Wang said.


    "It will be done when youe back, anything else?" Chen Qianbei said in a soft voice. Then You Xi Wang told her about the fight in all glory. His aunt listened with a smile on her face. Then he told her about how he by mistake called Ushijima Choma ''mom''. Chen Qianbei chuckled and told him it is fine, as she will be his mother-inw.


    You Xi Wang talked to her a bit when Celestia ran into the room and hugged Chen Qianbei, she turned and froze when she saw You Xi Wang, who was smiling at her through the hologram. She cheered up, "Big brother, Celes caught you."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and nodded as he talked, "I need to go now my little pixie, I will call you in the evening okay?"


    Celestia reluctantly agreed, after making her smile with a joke You Xi Wang looked at his aunt and said, "Take care Aunty." Chen Qianbei replied with a smile, "You too, son." and disconnected the call.


    After that You Xi Wang looked through the Journal and found nothing more informative, except because Micheal Wistrom was assigned to explore this forest under a project undertaken by Seedling Incorporation, the project was to confirm if there were any rare elixirs in this ce.


    The journal also mentioned how some strange things, such as people who cannot aplish some set tasks would vanish from the area along with their families and themon point was the Mirai Group. They were all tasked with some jobs regarding the project undertaken by the Mirai Group.


    After he put the journal back in his suit he stood up and picked up his sword and bow while Maya sat on his shoulder. They left to hunt and continued till sunset. They fought some beast but did not kill them. This was his n, grinding to gain strength. He returned to camp and saw his friends cooking some game they hunted. The group happily ate and after some discussion, Neo went to guard, and others went to meditate.


    You Xi Wang had decided to make a breakthrough in the mid-level spirit formation by the end of this camp. He sat on a tree branch and gazed into the big vast sky.

 Chapter 55: Discussion And Planning.

    Chapter 55: Discussion And nning.


    The group woke up in the morning looking fresh and energetic. Yuki and Fenny had just taken a quick dip in the river stream. They were girls. Hygiene was a basic necessity for them. The boys were all gathered.


    An spoke, "Bro, are you sure we can do it?" his question was directed toward You Xi Wang who stood next to him.


    Thetter nodded. Just as he was about to speak Yuki came to his side and tilted her head as she asked, "Do what?"


    You Xi Wang smiled at her and answered, "We all have some weaknesses. So, I thought if you all about a change of style. This way we all can and will take over each other''s roles and positions if needed. Also, it will only help us have more attack and defense options."


    Fenny spoke, "Baby Wang, an example please, or our muscr kitty will just keep scratching his head." right next to her stood Neo, who was scratching his head


    "Let us talk about An, he is a medic and is very good for supporting the team in battles. You Xi Wang said, he paused and continued, "If An learns closebat then we will have one more attacking possibility in the group."


    All of them nodded, Neo asked, "So we all learn new things to hide our weakness and strengthen our team. But won''t it deviate us from the path we all have?"


    You Xi Wang replied in a calm voice, "We are too inexperienced to walk forward on our path, sometimes taking a few steps back is not a bad thing but it will enable us to see the big picture. It will allow us to see what we are missing."


    They all fell silent after that and started thinking about what should they all do. Yuki was the first one. She was too limited in her saber style so she will learn medical aid and short-range support from An who will learn close-range fighting from her.


    Neo was good with weapons, hand-to-handbat, and short-range support, so he will learn to snipe while Fenny was weak at closebat so she will learn hand to handbat from Neo.


    In this way, the team was now paired and they will not be clueless about what to do because someone will help them along the ropes. Now only You Xi Wang was alone, and he learnedbat without weapons. In his words, he was too dependent on his weapons and had totally no skills in hand to handbat. He also dered that he will venture out in the forest alone for the remaining camp time, as he needed to learn how to stay alert about his surroundings. He knew that hecked instincts because he never needed to train them. He was always amidst people who cared for him, but what happened yesterday when he woke up could eventually lead to his death.


    He decided and told his friends about his decision. At first, they all protested, but when he gave them a detailed exnation, they all could do nothing but agree reluctantly. They all made preparations to leave for training. They all will meet back here in fifteen days. Meanwhile, they will have to record their progress and share it with each other daily, and they were also required to ask for help in case theye across any dangerous situation.


    They all agreed and just when they were about to leave Yuki came to You Xi Wang and pecked his lips after she found that no one was looking towards them, she whispered in his ears, "There will be a big reward when youe back safe, M-Y-D-A-R-L-I-N-G." she said thest words seductively and ran away leaving You Xi Wang in a stupor.


    After a few moments when Fenny pped his back and asked him to take care did he wake up. He thought of what happened in his mind ''Damn this girl is such a fox spirit.''


    [And you are like a dog in the heat.] the system retorted sarcastically.


    ''Huh, says a secondary consciousness.'' You Xi Wangshed back as he took a bag with some supplies and strapped it on his back.


    [At least I am not ungrateful like a certain someone who takes my help for granted.] system replied.


    ''WTF it is your job system, also I can survive on my own too.'' You Xi Wang tried to make aeback.


    [Very well, I am now not interfering in your stuff because I need to absorb the soul energy I captured from that Shade. Bye-bye, see you in fifteen days, don''t die.] after this system went into a deep sleep. No matter what You Xi Wang said, it did not reply.


    Maya was now sitting in a pocket of the bag and was sleeping. You Xi Wang made his way towards the inner section of the firstyer to face beasts in thete-stage spirit foundation realm.


    Fenny and Neo headed towards the eastern side of the mid-section of the firstyer, while An and Yuki chose the western part. They were in different directions yet they could rush to each other rather quickly one or two kilometers was not a big deal for them.


    ...


    A white shadow could be seen flickering in the inner area of the firstyer. This figure was of a girl, she had white hair but her face was covered with a veil, at this moment she was battling with a rhinoceros-like beast but it was as big as an elephant, the skin of this beast reflected light as if it was a mirror, yet this girl entered its territory which it did not like.


    She was using a long sword to attack this guy, unaware she was about to have a meeting that will change her life.


    You Xi Wang was moving through the forest nimbly, and Maya was also jumping from tree to tree behind him. After some time he heard some rumbling roars of a beast and weapon shing noises, curious, he moved towards the sound. Once he saw the scene, it left him surprised. A girl in white, fighting with a beast called...


    ...


    That is for the next chapter folks. I would like to thank you all for your support and love. Thank you.

 Chapter 56: Meeting Snow Wistrom.

    Chapter 56: Meeting Snow Wistrom.


    You Xi Wang did not advance and crouched down on the ground, spectating the fight between the girl and the mammoth known as Terra Dame. This beast was as big as a mammoth from the earth, its skin was grey, big red eyes on its head was a horn which was four feet long, the horn was t at the end. It was recorded in the books that this beast can ram whole mountains t and was used for bulldozing in the history of Metropia.


    The girl had graceful movement and her sword was dominating. You Xi Wang nodded in admiration, but when he looked towards the beast, he shook his head. He looked over his shoulder, Maya was also watching intently, he raised his left hand and stroked her neck as he said, "Do you see this battle, Maya? The girl is strong, but shecks experience. Remember this whenever you hunt, aim for the vital points, in case of this big guy here, the joints are vital." Maya nodded, although she was a cub. She was treated with a lot of beast cores which had enhanced her IQ, and now she could understand him.


    The fight kept going on and the girl''s weakness became apparent. She was getting tired. Terra Dame(s) had a dark skill, vitality dip. This was dark skill overtime in the battle, the user''s opponent will begin losing his/her prowess and strength ultimately dying. The battle dragged on and the girl''s attack was losing the strength behind them. Terra Dame ran towards her intending to ram her into a meat paste.


    The girl dodged the charge attack but her foot slipped over some pebbles and she fell on her butt, Terra dame was an agile beast despite its big size, it turned around and ran towards its prey with even more excitement. The girl was running on fumes and just as her body fell it was like thest nail to her coffin. A look of regret could be seen in her eyes. She grabbed her sword with all the strength she could, but to no avail.


    She closed her eye waiting for death to arrive, contrary to it she heard a shriek from the beast and flung her eyes open. A ck shadow could be seen moving fast around the beast. This ck shadow was You Xi Wang who saw the whole incident and jumped into action. He did not use his primary weapons but a long knife made from the tusk of a Stone Sabertooth. A cat type beast that had two big canines, which were mostly used to forge knives and daggers. These canines were strong enough to cut through iron.


    Maya approached the girl who was still watching in a stupor and sat down on the ground and licked her paws while she watched You Xi Wang fighting the beast. The strategy he implied was very simple, Terra dame was a big beast and bad at turning around so he ran around it. The second step was to stop its movement, which was done by shing at the joints and disabling the tendons.


    RRRIIIPPP


    A sound of flesh tearing was heard when You Xi Wang made a sh on the inside of Terra Dame''s leg, causing the beast to wail in pain and losing its bnce, despite the big size the legs were only as long as two humans which was an easy reach for somebody at You Xi Wang''s level. The beast came down on its knee and You Xi Wang did the same thing to its other leg.


    RRRIIIPPP


    Another wail echoed and now the beast was down on its two front legs, You Xi Wang came to stop at its side and took out his sword. He bent his body forward and set hi right hand on the sword hilt. He drew his sword and shed it. The set of movement waspleted in a blink and the sword went back to its sheath as if it never left. He turned around, and the beast fell down, half of its neck was cut off and a slight glow of re was visible on the edge of the wound.


    He came towards the girl, he nudged her with his finger on her forehead as she was still in a stupor. She screamed, "Argh" You Xi Wang took a step back and the girl picked up her sword out of reflex. You Xi Wang was still smiling. The girl lowered her sword, and said, "Thank you for helping or I would have died."


    The boy waved his hand and said casually, "It is not a big deal, may I know who you are and why are you alone in this ce. My name is You Xi Wang." and extended his hand to shake hands.


    The girl hesitates but shakes hand with him, "I am searching for my dad here. He has been missing for a few days, but before leaving he told me about this ce as it was the region he was assigned to explore. My name is Snow Wistrom."


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes wide while looking at the girl standing in front of him. Snow looked at his expression and asked, "Is there something wrong?"


    You Xi Wang then took a deep breath, "Are you by any chance looking for Mr. Micheal Wistrom?"


    Snow took a second to register what he just asked, and then her eyes widened in surprise. She moved her sword and ced it on his nape. She spoke in a cold voice, "Who are you?" before You Xi Wang could say anything Maya appeared on Snow''s shoulder. Yes, Maya could now create camouge and blend to her surroundingspletely. She snuck up to Snow earlier and when she saw her pointing her sword at You Xi Wang, she used her illusion and jumped up to her shoulder, baring her fangs at thetter''s nape.


    Snow''s body stiffened when she saw a wolf pup sitting on her shoulder and looking at her with extreme hate. While You Xi Wang replied calmly, "I found his journal in a Blood Bane Tiger''s den the other day. I am a student at the Silica City academy. I am here for a training camp with my friends. Maya,e back, she is not an enemy."


    Maya growled in dissatisfaction but hopped down from Snow''s shoulder and moved to stand by You Xi Wang. Snow moved her sword back and said in an apologetic tone, "I apologize, but I have my reasons for not trusting you. Please give me the journal." with this she stretched her hand towards You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang nodded and took out the journal from his storage space and handed it to Snow. He said, "I read this journal, and I am using my connections to get information regarding Seedling Inc. Do you know something?"


    Snow kept looking at the journal and said, "Can I read this first?" You Xi Wang realized that he rushed things and nodded in affirmation. She walked up to a tree and sat down there reading the journal, You Xi Wang looked at a bit and bent down to pick up Maya. He rubbed her belly with his finger in a tickling motion as he said, "Someone has grown stronger, eh? Growling at me now? Hahaha... Who is the boss now Maya?" while Maya just rolled on her sides.

 Chapter 57: Alliance with a fairy.

    Chapter 57: Alliance with a fairy.


    Snow sat down reading the journal while You Xi Wang busied himself with skiing the Terra Dame''s hardest skin parts and taking out its beast core. In Metropia there was a saying, dead beasts are treasures, and You Xi Wang who was excellent in material science at such a young age knew this very well. He looked at Maya, who was about to drool and chuckled. He cut off a piece of beast meat and gave it to Maya. He extracted the bones from the carcass; they were very good material to make swords, spears, and halberds with.


    After he was done, he looked toward Snow and she was still reading the journal. You Xi Wang meditated and replenish his spirit energy, so he sat down on the ground near Maya in lotus position with his eyes closed.


    Snow wiped the tears formed in the corner of her eyes. She stood up and walked towards You Xi Wang who was now in deep meditation but Maya moved and stood between her and You Xi Wang; she bared her fangs on Snow, her blue eyes shone and three icicles formed from the spiritual energy in the surroundings.


    Snow stopped in her tracks and said, "I am not an enemy, Maya." thetter barked at her, which made You Xi Wang wake up. He saw the scene in front of him and shook his head.


    He spoke in a soft voice, "Maya,e here. She is not an enemy." Maya moved back while her gaze still trained on Snow. The icicles dispersed.


    Snow said in a wary voice, "She seems to hate me too much for a Snow Shadow cub." Snow Shadows were among stronger beasts but they did not hate too much while if a Night Shadow hates you the whole species will hate you.


    You Xi Wang picked up the beautiful fur ball in his arms and sat her on his shoulder as he answered Snow, "She is half Night Hound and half Snow Shadow, her trait of hatredes from that side of her lineage."


    Snow was surprised to find out about Maya''s origins and said, "You don''t n on selling her do you?" her words made You Xi Wang emit a cold aura, "You better not try anything or I will make you beg for death." his voice was so cold it made Snow take a step back. She was shocked to feel this much threat from his words.


    She said, "Don''t worry, I did not intend to ask you to sell her, just wanted to advise you against it. You might not be aware, but Night Hound(s) rarely mate with another tribe of wolves. You are lucky to have found her."


    You Xi Wang nodded, he was not very efficient with the beast world knowledge. He stood up and asked, "I have a question for you and you better be honest. Are you here from Seedling Inc. or not?"


    Snow replied, "I am here for myself, and my father. Seedling Inc. offered him a highly paid job but now he is missing. He was never like this in the past. My mother is also missing, I think someone is doing this against my family from the shadows and I want to sort this out. Also, they attempted to abduct me when I was on my way home, but thankfully I got away."


    You Xi Wang nodded and held his chin with his hand. After pondering on this for a few minutes he spoke, "My parents were the owners of a techpany. They went to have a business meeting with the Mirai group and on the way back their maglev exploded. They did not survive. We got to know that Edward Colt, the CEO of The Mirai Group was behind it, I took an oath that day that I will destroy everyone in The Mirai Group. That bastard will pay with his everything, money, family, pets, children, everything." his body was shaking from anger and his eyes turned blood red by the end of his speech.


    Snow saw how angry he was and kept silent. After some moments he calmed down and said, "I apologize but that guy makes my blood boil." the former nodded showing that she understood.


    You Xi Wang suddenly said, "Would you like to join hands with me? We can take down this piece of shit together and look for your parents and don''t worry, they won''t hurt them if they have something important on them, you know. Dark dwellers are very selfish, they never hurt their interests."


    Snow looked into his eyes and she could not see any deceit or ill intentions. She asked, "How long would it take to find my parents?"


    He replies, "I am on a camp for 15 days. I have asked my aunt to gather information about Seedling Inc. I will ask her about the progress tomorrow. If we gather anything too important, then we will depart immediately to deal with it or my family can get it done, we have core formation and primal soul formation realm people behind us it won''t be that bad."


    Snow learned about his resources and came to understand that, this was better than her doing anything alone on her own. She asked, "Which family are you from?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and answered, "We may not be the bigshots but we are known as You Family from Silica City."


    Snow fell silent and asked in surprise, "Who is You Zhichi to you?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile, "She is my big sister, do you know her?"


    Snow shook her head and said, "Know her? Celestial Saintess is my rival in sword art and never have I ever won over her."


    You Xi Wang was happy to listen about this at first as he got to know that his sister won but then he was shocked his eyes widened he pointed his finger toward Snow and said loudly, "YOU ARE THE SNOW WHITE DEMONESS FROM OUR SCHOOL" he covered his mouth as soon as he finished.


    Snow White Demoness was the moniker Snow has gained after she defeated every boy who wanted to see her face. This gave birth to a rumor that she is ugly. Now, when she heard You Xi Wang say this her eyes turn cold, and before she could say anything You Xi Wang said, "Who the fuck gave you this name. God almighty, these shit heads are calling this Snow fairy a demoness? Her eyes and forehead are more beautiful than their whole families collectively." he looked at Snow and in a soft voice said, "I have never seen you ever before, and I thought Snow White Demoness was scary looking, but if you are that Snow White Demoness then I guess you should be called Snow White Fairy."


    He stretched his hand towards her and said in a questioning tone, "Allies?"


    She stood there for a while shocked by how he called her a fairy until her eyes softened a bit and she shook his hand with a nod. You Xi Wang said happily, "I am now in alliance with a fairy."

 Chapter 58: Planning.

    Chapter 58: nning.


    They both shook their hands. You Xi Wang said, "We should move from here. The beast carcass will attract other beasts. Let''s go,"


    They both nodded and moved to five hundred meters away from that spot, a river stream was flowing through the forest like a snake, they crossed the stream to avoid the beasts from getting their scent.


    You Xi Wang climbed up on a tall tree and Snow followed him up. They both sat down. Snow asked him after a few moments, "So, what is your n? How do we deal with this situation?"


    You Xi Wang repeated his early words, "I will ask my family to gather information. Then we will see what to do next."


    Snow replied, "I got that, you have said it earlier but what I mean is, what do we do if things are as we think they are, and what if they are not."


    You Xi Wang was a guy who always kept his straightforward attitude. He replied, "I will put it out there now that we have both formed an alliance. I do not trust you enough to divulge all this information."


    Snow felt exasperated as she replied, "You were the one who proposed this alliance right. What do you want me to do,, kid? How about a heavenly oath that I will be loyal to our alliance?"


    You Xi Wang retorted, "Look here little miss, you are only 19 just like my sister so better not go calling me kid because this kid saved your life when you fell on your perky butt. Also, yes, a heavenly oath of loyalty and no betrayals will do."


    Snow was indignation when he pointed out her momentarypse and even said something like ''perky butt'' to her: this kid was opposite from his so-called polite person image in the school. She did not argue and just took the oath.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "I need to check on my friends, give me a moment." he used his Holo-phone and called all his friends at the same time they all picked up, he asked, "What is the situation?"


    Yuki spoke first, "I collected some herbs, provided support fire in the hunt. I killed 2 beasts."


    An spoke next, "I got 4 kills swords are good I know but sis is very good, my strength and finesse can improve definitely."


    Neo said, "I got 1 kill, we are camping in one region and attracting beasts to us."


    Fenny lifted her chin up and said, "Momma Fenny here got 8 shade hoppers. Hahaha..."


    Basically, what she wanted to state was that she caught a rabbit type beast, and she was stating her speed because shade hopper was a fast beast. Everyone pped as if they were really kids, but it was just so that this acid tongue doesn''tsh out on them for not praising her while Snow found this very amusing.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I took down one Terra Dame. Thanks to the knife big momma gave me."


    Others inhaled sharply at this. You Xi Wang then said before they could say anything, "I found someone we all know here too."


    Neo asked, "Who could that be?" You Xi Wang turned his wrist to Snow and said, "Ladies and gents, I introduce you to Snow Wistrom or as you all know her Snow White Demoness." thetter red at him and he just mouthed ''Oops''.


    Snow greeted them all, they all talked a bit and then disconnected the call, Yuki said before disconnecting, "Don''t make on any moves, though she is a beauty, you don''t have a chance yet." with that, she disconnected the call. You Xi Wang did not know whether tough or to cry. His girlfriend thinks he will make a move on every pretty girl hees across.


    Snow said, "You have good friends." disrupting You Xi Wang''s not so productive thought process. Thetter only nodded with a smile on his face and he spoke with a serious voice, "I have a bug in the Mirai Group, he will contact me in two days. Also, you need to hone yourbat experience soon and as fast because you will fight with stronger foes in life or death situations also you won''t be able to defeat my sis at your current level."


    Snow nodded, although she was a strong-headed girl she was open-minded and never minded please who gave her genuine criticism, just like You Xi Wang was doing. He did not know about sugar-coating things or being too polite after his soul has gone through the merging process and his system was also a vile tongued entity.


    Snow asked, "How do I gain battle experience? Beast hunting is too time consuming." You Xi Wang answered, "One hour, every day I will spare with you to polish my closebat skills. In the morning we hunt. At the noon I will meditate, you can surprise attack me anytime you want. This will help me train my instincts. Maya will not engage you anymore." he paused and continued, "You will practice sword dance and basic moves like draw, sh, stab and block. Try any tree or any clearing, it is your choice."


    Snow left amazed by how easily You Xi Wang made a n for training, she mumbled under her breath, "This is the Maestro." she was aware of the moniker You Xi Wang had earned with his IQ and capabilities two years ago when hepleted all the material science books in the Codex Hall and he was already done with sixty percent of strategy and war maniption books too.


    You Xi Wang stood up and said, "I need to excuse myself." he turned to jump when Snow asked him, "What happened?" he replied, "Nature''s call." and jumped down the tree, he walked a distance and took cover behind a tree, then undid his pants and started taking a pee while used his Holo-phone to text his sister which said, ''NEED INFO, TARGET: SNOW WISTROM. DURATION-10 days P.S.- She is your ssmate.'' even though Snow swore in the name of the heavens he did not trust herpletely. He found out everything regarding her.


    He returned to the tree. He meditated and asked Maya not to be hostile with Snow, but well that took quite an effort. When it was all said and done, he made a call to Celestia, whose face blossomed with an adorable smile. They talked about a lot of stuff, mostly it was Celestia talking and him listening.


    The night flew by in a blink of an eye.

 Chapter 59: Epiphany

    Chapter 59: Epiphany


    Just as the sun rose in the sky, spreading its shimmering warm embrace, You Xi Wang also stood up. He yawned and stretched his stiff muscles. He spent thest night monitoring the surroundings and staying alert. He looked toward Snow who was still sleeping and said in a loud yet calm voice, "Wake up Snow, it is time to rise and shine."


    Snow opened her eyes slowly and sat up. Her long white hair fell on her shoulder like a river of snow. She yawned behind her veil and stood up. Following this, they both ate some meat they had stored earlier.


    Snow spoke, "Let''s start sparring."


    You Xi Wang nodded and stood up too. He took out brawler gloves from his storage and wore them, the gloves had alloy studs over the knuckle area, they were ck while the glove itself was white.


    Snow took out her sword, the sword had a snowke pattern over its body, the de also had a blue gleam. Snow took a stance, with her sword held with her right hand and pointing towards You Xi Wang. Her body bent slightly forward and she ced her left foot forward by a few inches.


    You Xi Wang put his left foot forward and held his fists closer to his body leveling them with his shoulders, his body was slightly facing sideways cing his left shoulder forward, he shifted his weight on his toes. He intended to practice his boxing skills with Snow.


    A breeze blew around them, causing a leaf to fall from the tree. Just as the leaf slowly drifted through the air and came to rest on the ground, both Snow and You Xi Wang moved. They charged at each other with no hesitation. Snow brandished her sword and her blow was tackled by a quick jab from You Xi Wang, which deflected the sword. You Xi Wang took this chance and moved in. He delivered a punch to her gut, Snow saw this and she gracefully used her left foot as a pivot and rotated on her toe, deflecting his blow. She brought her sword down on You Xi Wang with her rotation, making a sh from his right, thetter bobbed his head down making the sword miss its target, and struck Snow in her gut again, but this time she did not rotate but moved back distancing herself from him. Although they were both having meleebat she could not use her sword skills because You Xi Wang was just too close to her. It stopped her from generating power in her sword attacks.


    They both continued attacking each other, They would deflect each other''s attacks with no damage done at all, Snow would distance herself as soon as You Xi Wang was in range, while You Xi Wang would jab her shes or guide away her stabs. You Xi Wang was very frustrated because he could not catch her off guard, so he came up with a different idea. Just as he reached his attacking range he went prone on the ground and using his hands as pivot points he swung his legs and torso making a semicircle, it was like a tail swatting things away, Snow had not expected such a sudden change in style and before she could retreat, You Xi Wang kicked Snow in her left making her fall on the ground. He then appeared next to her with his fist on her cheek.


    Snow said, "Your win. But what was that move?"


    You Xi Wang replied as he stood up, "I call it tail whip."


    Snow nodded but before she could say anything You Xi Wang took out a square of paper from his storage and folded it into a crane. he then said to Snow, "You practice in crane style sword art. This paper contains the permutations andbinations of moves of the crane. I will drop a hint. Crane sword style is not only about the nose or book."


    After this, he went back to his meditation and continuing to fill his sea of consciousness with spiritual energy. He reflected on his spar right now. He realized that infusing different styles and attacks can take the enemy down with surprise. Just as he was thinking of this he remembered how destructive was the might of his all element spiritual energy.


    ''System, can I refine my Spiritual energy more? Can I make it purer?'' he called out for the system.


    [Yes, you can. The method is simple. Cover yourself with ayer of all elemental spiritual energy. Then as you absorb the energy from the surroundings, it will purify after passing through thatyer.] The system replied.


    You Xi Wang was ecstatic he was about to proceed when the system said, [Make sure you maintain the bnce in thatyer or you are dead if it gets unbnced.] the former nodded and proceeded as discussed. After 5 minutes he was covered in a faint golden glow. Just like the system had told him, the energy flowing inside him now was much purer.


    It worked like this, the destructive power in the all elemental spiritual energyyer burned all and any impurities from the outside allowing only our spiritual energy to flow inside the body. This will allow You Xi Wang''s energy to be stronger and better in quality than any other person in the same realm. Also, he will now have more energy than others.


    As he sat refining spiritual energy, changes urred in his physique. His skin became healthier and tougher, his hair now had luster, his bones and muscles were also getting stronger. By the time the sunset, he was on the brink of a breakthrough to the third level of the spiritual formation realm.


    He opened his eyes and the golden luster around him vanished. His Holo-phone vibrated. He had just received two messages. One from his sister and the other from his friend Richard ke, the Kingpin of Sahasa town. It will soon be clear, if Snow Wistrom was worth trusting or not. He was more curious about what Richard had to tell him.

 Chapter 60: Targeted.

    Chapter 60: Targeted.


    You Xi Wang first opened the message from his sister. It said, ''Snow Wistrom is a hard-working girl, and she came this far on her merits with no external support from anyone. Her family members are very humble people, her father is a senior explorer in the pharmaceutical sector. He is well known, but sadly exploration doesn''t pay much. She is trustworthy, don''t be paranoid. AND WHAT THE HELL WAS ON WITH THAT MESSAGE YOU SENT ME? DO I LOOK LIKE AN ASSASSIN TO YOU? YOU BETTER STOP ACTING LIKE SOME BIG SHOT. NEXT TIME BE CLEAR. Take care out there."


    He couldn''t help but chuckle. His sister would always reprimand him for talking like that in texts, even though she could understand it. He sighed in relief knowing that Snow was who he thought she was, He had this suspicion in his mind that Snow might be someone from Seedling Inc. and is using the identity of Micheal Wistrom''s daughter. All this time he was gauging her strength and was ready to go in for the kill any moment, something turns out fishy.


    You Xi Wang stopped thinking about that and checked out the message Richard had sent him. This message was regarding the number of dark dwellers appearing in the town. You Xi Wang called Richard with his Holo-phone. After a few moments, the call connected, Richard spoke, "Hello, bro Wang."


    You Xi Wang said, "Hello, did you find out what is their motive?"


    Richard replied, "They are here to look for a girl. I caught one of the weaker ones and asked him nicely. They were contracted to do this as that girl was investigating too much. Though their task is to capture her alive."


    You Xi Wang was smart and put things together, "The girl has White long hair?" he asked.


    "Yes, I will kill the dark dwellers. Don''t worry." Richard assured him in a confident manner.


    You Xi Wang then said, "No need, just direct them to the mid-section of the firstyer in the woods."


    Richard was surprised at first but before he could say anything You Xi Wang interrupted him, "You will draw too much attention if you kill them all. Direct them to the woods, and I will take care of them. Also, give me the info on their power levels. The urate the better. Try to dy them for as long as possible. We have to arrange a good party for them."


    Richard then said, "Alright, anything else you need?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Extract some poison from the pain-inducing leech and get it to me via drone. Hehehe..." he let out a peal of eeryughter which made Richard shiver as the scene of interrogation that night shed in his mind.


    Richard agreed and told You Xi Wang that the poison will be delivered by the morning along with the information of the assassins. He disconnected the call, and he heard a whooshing sounding from behind him. He turned to find Snow practicing her basic sword moves.


    He stood up, walked up to her, "How is your progress with the crane sword?"


    She stopped and faced him. Beads of sweat could be seen forming on her forehead, "I couldprehend nothing from that folded paper."


    You Xi Wang smiled, raised his hand with his palm outstretched towards her, and said, "Give me the paper, let me show you."


    Sheplied and handed him the paper crane, You Xi Wang unfolded the paper and said, "What do sword moves look like?"


    Snow thought for a while and said, "Straight lines." You Xi Wang nodded. He looked into her eyes and said, "Everything in this worldprises shapes, Crane is like that too. Other than attacking like a crane, you can use the lines along its body too."


    He gave her the unfolded paper, Snow looked at it in contemtion and saw a paper full of lines. She was confused for a second, she understood what he meant. Her gaze was now soft and filled with gratitude towards You Xi Wang.


    She said in a soft voice, "Thank you very much, from an early age I have worked hard but was never sharp enough to understand the profoundness of things but you just taught me that blind hard work will make me be focused on the rocks and ignoring the mountain of treasures around it, thank you."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, It''s fine. Now, let us talk some serious business." he was not smiling anymore. Snow nodded with no words after looking at how serious his face was suddenly. He sighed and said, "There are some dark dwellersing here to abduct you."


    Snow was shocked when she heard about it. She regained herposure and said, "How about I leave first? That will save you from trouble."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and replied, "The first thing is, that the dark dwellers are multiple. The second thing, they are here to abduct you and not KILL. This info came from a trustworthy source. The third fact of the matter is that we are friends and allies now so don''t worry. I have texted my friends, we will take care of it together."


    Snow looked at him for a bit. She bit her lower lip behind her veil, she let out a sigh, "Okay, Let''s do it your way then. What is the n?"


    You Xi Wang smirked, "Wait for a bit and you will see."


    With that said, he contacted his friends and told them to meet up at the border of the inner and the mid-section of the firstyer. The package from the drone was also delivered by a drone along with the information of the dark dwellers. This will prove very helpful in countering the enemy.


    Tonight the group will gather. They will n how to deal with these dark dwellers. You Xi Wang met the others and they discussed the n to face theing assants. Just as the moon came up they settled on using gueri tactics.


    With all said and done they all waited for the assants toe.

 Chapter 61: Ambush In Broad Daylight.

    Chapter 61: Ambush In Broad Daylight.


    The morning sun spread its warm and radiant embrace around the world, engulfing it and making it lively. At the border region of the forest stood 10 men, dressed in ck cloaks, their faces were covered. They all had an eerie aura and presence.


    These men were standing in two queues. A man from the left queue spoke up, "How do we do it?"


    The one on the right said, "ording to the information target is living inside the mid-section of the firstyer, we can head there in a group and split up at the border."


    The man on the left nodded, and they started moving through the forest. These two men were leaders of the two teams, they were peak spirit formation realm cultivators. This group had four 6th level spirit formation cultivators, four 3rd level spirit formation cultivators, and two 9th level spirit cultivators.


    It was quite a big group assigned to capture a target of only 5th level spirit formation. It was said that killing someone was easier than capturing them alive. These people were supposed to capture the target alive and guard her well on the way back to their appointed rendezvous point.


    Little did they know, their task has just gotten harder. This group of people was moving fast in the forest. They would turn now and then based on the signs they found of human movement in the forest. These guys reached a clearing and they saw six sets of footprints moving in different directions.


    The right queue leader said, "Shane, I smell something fishy, let us split up."


    The left queue leader was known as Shane. He nodded and said, "Kojo, you be in touch. These sets of footprints could lead us to strong individuals." the right queue leader, Kojo nodded, and he gestured his team to move towards the three sets of footprints moving towards the right direction and Shane headed in the opposite direction.


    They both avoided something crucial in the scene present to them. Six silhouettes appeared from the treetop,nding softly on the ground. They were none other than You Xi Wang, his team, and the so-called target.


    They avoided the detection because they were covered in the soul energy You Xi Wang used to hide them from the assants. You Xi Wang nodded, and the group split up and chased after the assants of the left group. They have been monitoring these people with drones from the sky. So in the time, these people split up they had a good idea of their personalities and sessfully made an action n.


    You Xi Wang spoke up in a low voice, "Snow, Neo, you two, wait for the two weak ones to die then charge in on the mid-level guys. Yuki, An, and I will take on the final guy."


    They had left those footprints deliberately, with the proposal of confusing the enemy. The motive was nowplete, they only needed to kill them off one by one. The group took a short-cut and intercepted the enemies. They wanted to ambush these guys. You Xi Wang hid everyone with his soul energy. Fenny climbed a tree and waited for the enemies to arrive.


    After waiting for a few minutes, they heard some footsteps running over. You Xi Wang waited patiently. He had absolute trust in Fenny.


    Fenny was crouching on a treetop, waiting for the dark dwellers to reach the designated ambush point. Her wait ended after just twenty seconds. She took the shot at the head of thest guy in the queue. She squeezed the trigger with no hesitation at all. The gun was equipped with a suppressor that muffled the sound of the gun to negligible. The bullet flew across the air and pierced through the skull of the guy like a hot knife through butter. Fenny was positioned behind the group of assants. It was a surrounded ambush.


    You Xi Wang, Yuki, An, Neo, and Snow were positioned like a pentagon around the group of assants, while Fenny had positioned herself behind the assants. This strategy was called, guiding to the guillotine. Snipper will be the guide and the melee warriors were guillotine.


    The assants stopped when they heard the thudding sound but before they could react another bullet flew across the air, iming the life of another early spirit formation realm dark dweller. This was a queue to the melee warriors. Neo jumped into action, he rushed out of the bushes and engaged an enemy with his halberd, Yuki was the next she also chose a mid-level spirit formation cultivator like Neo. They couldpletely kill them with ease despite being on the weaker side.


    Shane wanted to intercept, but he was met with a shower of bullets, An performed impably in his duty as close-range support. Shane was about to attack when he saw from the corner of his eye, a fist covered in blue lightning aimed straight at his face.


    Shane did not even get to react when the fist kneaded into his face, he was forced to take ten steps back but another attack came from behind him, You Xi Wang made him retreat in the direction where Snow was waiting to attack.


    Snow came out of the bushes like an angry lioness and shed her sword on the dark dweller''s back, causing blood to ssh around. Shane wailed in pain. If only the world had medicine for regret. Shane''s only mistake was not being aware of this group of kids.


    He was shocked at what had happened to his group, they never expected to be ambushed and that too in the broad daylight.


    "Who are you? You will pay dearly for this kid." Shane hissed in an enraged voice.


    You Xi Wang sneered and said, "Tch, you worm, kneel."


    It was as if his words were some signal, Fenny fired one bullet aiming at Shane''s knee from a distance while Neo stabbed another one with his halberd. Shane was forced to kneel and to make it worse for him, Yuki took out a kunai and threw it right at Shane''s dantian. The kunai entered his dantian causing Shane to wail.


    "You wanted to make us beg for death. I would make you do the same." You Xi Wang opened his fist and between his fingersid a needle. This needle was hollow and was filled with the poison of pain-inducing leech. He cleverly stabbed this needle into Shane''s skin when he punched him earlier. The poison will take effect in a bit and they will get much more information out of him.


    You Xi Wang turned to Yuki and said, "Take Maya and Neo with you and ce this piece of shit in that den. Make sure you cut off his tendons and seal his acupoints, ask neo to strip him naked and not leave any modes of contact with him, he has nothing imnted in his body."


    Yuki nodded, Neo also heard this and took hold of Shane and took him away, while You Xi Wang gave Maya a look, who is intelligent, understood this and led Yuki and Neo away.


    You Xi Wang looked at the rest and spoke, "Regroup, time to hunt the second guy. Bro An, let''s erase the tracks before others return." thetter nodded and they got to work.


    To be continued...

 Chapter 62: Unexpected Turn Around.

    Chapter 62: Unexpected Turn Around.


    The group cleaned up the surrounding, An used his fire spells to burn the bodies to ashes. His mes were stronger than others because of his bloodline containing traces of the crimson phoenix.


    The group made its way to their next target, Kojo and his team. They met Yuki and Neo on the way to the designated spot. They reached the ambush spot and took their positions. Fenny was also in her position. They waited, yet there seemed to be no movement around them. Time passed and soon an hour slipped by.


    You Xi Wang used his Holo-phone and asked Fenny, "Any movements?"


    Fenny replied, "None but Xi Wang, I get this uneasy feeling. What do you think we should do?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Retre..." he was yet to evenplete his word when he heard voices of struggle from the other side of the call. He stood up and shouted to his friends, "Fenny is under attack, let''s go." and with this, he dashed towards Fenny''s position.


    Others followed him quickly. Very soon they reached the ce where Fenny was camping. There were signs of trouble, but they saw no one around except for some signs of struggle. Just as You Xi Wang was about to say something, his Holo-phone buzzed. It was a video message from Fenny. He yed it without a second dy.


    A figure in the ck cloak appeared. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "You bunch of brats, how dare you imprison my martial brother. You have two ways, the first is you send back Shane and I kill this girl or I make her my soul ve then you beg me but I get my man to ravage her and then throw her in the city in parts."


    His tone was sinister and not was he bluffing. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Very well, I will do as you say. Do not hurt her."


    Kojoughed in his hoarse voice and said, "You have till the sunset." and he disconnected the call.


    You Xi Wang said, "Let''s go to the den." An and Neo shared a ce and the former said, "Don''t tell me you trusted that guy."


    You Xi Wang said, "I am not that nave, I swear to heavens if they touch a single hair on Fenny''s head. I will make them experience the real darkness." his demeanor was so cold that all four of them felt a chill running up from their spine. They all looked at his back and felt like they did not know him anymore. You Xi Wang used to be a level headed boy, and this was the first time they had seen him say something like this.


    Yuki took a step and patted his back as she consoled him, "It will be fine, let''s go."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and the group made their way to the den where they had Shane imprisoned.


    ...


    Meanwhile, in a distant part of the forest, Kojo and his team were sitting in a damp cave.


    Kojo turned to look around and saw Fenny sitting in the corner, her head on her knees with her hands covering her head. He smiled with a sinister light in his eyes. He said, "Girl, do you think your friends wille?"


    Fenny looked up at him. Her eyes were red while her lips were shivering, she looked as if she was about to cry any moment now. As he saw this expression on her face Kojo felt ecstatic. Heughed out loud after a while he said, "Did you think it would be so easy for you to get away after killing my people? Humph... you green-horned kids, I will show you what happens when you mess with darkness." he looked away and said to his underling, "You guys, listen up. If they do not bring Shane back till sunset, you can have your way with this girl, although she isn''t as pretty as that other girl. She can still make up for some time." he let out a slyugh in his hoarse voice.


    The underlings alsoughed along. One guy then said, "Brother Kojo, why can we not have her now? It doesn''t make any difference, right?" he had taken a liking to how cute Fenny looked earlier when they captured her.


    Kojo shook his head, and said, "We need to pressurize them, and if they found anything wrong with her, they will never give Shane back to us. Remember to beat her a bit before we make another call. I want to see the look on that guy''s face. Haha haha..." his sadistic nature made himugh when he imagined the tormented look on You Xi Wang''s face.


    ...


    You Xi Wang and the rest made way into the illusion array, and immediately he waved his hands and cast a soul energy barrier with the system''s help.


    ''System, scan this scum, I want you to find out if there is some kind of art which helped that bastard intercept our ambush.'' he said to the system.


    [Master, this is not as simple as it may seem.] the system replied.


    ''What do you mean?'' You Xi Wang questioned in return.


    [These people specialize in the soul cultivation, you first have to weaken them only then can I pry on the secrets inside his mind.] the system replied.


    You Xi Wang and the others were now standing at the den''s entrance. He was calcting the situation. He said, "Neo, Yuki, did you two found anyone following you when you bought him here?" they both shook their heads in denial.


    After a few minutes of silence, You Xi Wang spoke in a calm manner, "Seems like that guy cannot see everything. He must have ced some seal on one guy in the team we assaulted. The same could be said for this guy, but he lost his cultivation and cannot use that seal. Come, let''s have some fun." hisst sentence made them all develop a chill in their hearts.


    You Xi Wang entered the den, others were about to follow him, but An blocked their way and said in a low voice, "You guy should ready yourself for whatever you are about to see. It might be too much for you to endure, so only enter when you have the resolve to watch it till the end." after saying this he entered the den.


    Neo said, "I want to see what will happen now, I have never seen Bro Wang like this did you notice Bro An gave off a somewhat scared vibe just now. Say Yuki, after waking up from thata, Bro Wang has changed right?"


    Yuki exhaled heavily and said, "Will anyone remains the same after suffering what he went through. Let''s go, we need to support him with anything and everything. He would do the same for us without any questions." Snow who only got to know these guys recently was surprised after she saw the unity among the group.


    They entered the den and saw You Xi Wang crouched and ying with the cubs while smiling. Everyone was confused when An said, "Xi Wang, the poison of pain-inducing leech has been detoxified."


    You Xi Wang stood up and walked up to Shane, who was lying prone on the floor, panting heavily. He looked at You Xi Wang and said in a wary manner, "What do you want?"


    You Xi Wang smile as he took out a dagger and said, "For now, your screams will suffice."

 Chapter 63: Spirit Beast Contract.

    Chapter 63: Spirit Beast Contract.


    While Kojo and his team were busy imagining how they would torment You Xi Wang and his groupter. Thetter was busy making his fellow dark dweller regret being born in the world.


    In the den, You Xi Wang stabbed his darg into Shane''s thigh. Shane winced in pain but didn''t shout. You Xi Wang was still smiling at him. Shane sneered and said, "Do you think this will make me scream, tch you just wait for your death kid. I will show you pain." he turned his head towards Yuki and said, "Bitch, you dragged me here with a hard hand right, I will make you know what a hard hand is when I make this kid watch how I ravage you."


    Yuki was infuriated but You Xi Wang just shook his head at her and said, "Let''s see if you can hold in the scream now." he sat down and held his dagger and transferred a very negligible wisp of his spiritual energy to it. This wisp might be very negligible in quantity but its quality was very pure. Normal cultivators might gain some benefits from it, but for dark dwellers, it was the ultimate poison.


    Just like any other poison, it was corrosive to dark dwellers. They used impurities to temper themselves, making their bodies intolerant to the pure elements. The spiritual energy entered Shane''s body, who had lost his cultivation and could not stop this wisp of energy. He started shivering, cold sweat beads started forming on his forehead. His body was being destroyed on a cellr level. It was very painful, he could not resist and started screaming.


    ARGHH...!


    Heart-wrenching screams continued to echo in the den. Everyone else was pale inplexion now when they saw Shane rolling on the floor. You Xi Wang was the only one who acted as if it was no big deal. A few minutes passed and Shane became tired of screaming his consciousness dwindled. You Xi Wang used this chance.


    ''System, do it now.'' he yelled in his mind.


    [I know my job, shut the fuck up you sick sadistic swine. This guy will die soon.] the system replied.


    The system then scanned Shane''s consciousness. Their motive was to reverse track the guy whom Shane has ced a seal on. By doing that they will locate Kojo and rescue Fenny. They will also have an element of surprise on their side. After a few minutes, the system transmitted some images back to You Xi Wang.


    [Reverse tracking through a soul seal is difficult because the distance is more than what I can calcte with my current prowess. But we got some clues. And the general direction of their hideout.] the system notified You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang nodded and pondered for a bit and then he turned to his friends and said, "I found the direction where those guys might hide in. We can follow up and assassinate them all one by one. I will lead the assault alone."


    Yuki said in protest, "Xi Wang, you are not the only one here who is worried about Fenny." hearing this You Xi Wang smiled at her.


    "That is not the reason I proposed this. These guys are soul cultivators they can sense those if someone approaches them. I can get near them and kill them. I need you guys to do something else for me." he replied to her.


    Others were reluctant to agree with him on this point, but they also did not have any better options. Snow spoke, "How about we y decoy and create an opening for you to rescue her?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Let me show you guys something." he whistled at Maya, who stood up and came in front of the group. He then crouched down and said in a soft tone, "Maya, here can do illusions as you all know, but what you don''t know is I can too."


    Neo tilted his head and said in a bewildered manner, "You mean the spirit beast contract?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and others were surprised. They were all good at studies so they knew that there was only one type of beast contract that allows the beast and host to share their powers. The contract of equality, but nothing in this world was for free. There was a cost of the deal, that cost was life dependency. The human and beast bound by this contract will share their life force if one of them dies another one will die too, until and unless they revoke the contract by dispelling their cultivation.


    Yuki said, "Xi Wang, there might be another way. Don''t take such a step. You know a cultivator can only have one equality contract throughout there life. If you found another stronger beast then what will you do? Also, Maya is just a cub will she be strong enough for this mission? What will any of us do if something happened to her? We will lose you too."


    You Xi Wang knew what she was saying was for his own good, but there was no other way he could take on Kojo. That guy was careless. He would kill Fenny with no hesitation once he smells something fishy.


    He looked at her and said, "I give you all thirty minutes, think of something better otherwise you know I am not a patient by nature. I swear happens to Fenny, I can never forgive myself or any of you for stopping me."


    The den descended into silence as everyone put the gears of their brains to work but all in vain, soul cultivators were a pain, they were thought to be rare but it was only because people hid that they could cultivate souls. After thirty minutes when there was no n which could lead them to efficiently rescue fenny they followed You Xi Wang''s idea.


    They all called their cubs forward, while You Xi Wang consoled Snowke by patting him as he said in a soft voice, "Don''t be sad Snowke, we will bring her back okay. You need to be a big boy so you can show off when she returns. Okay?" thetter was naughty, just like fenny and was coaxed by this sweet talk.


    Snow did not have any wolf cub, so she just stood by Snowke as the rest sat across their cub partners. They slit their wrists and let the blood drop on the cub''s head. They then chanted, "God of all life, I pray to you. Bond my soul with (the cub''s name) for eternity. Shall I want to be free from this bond, take away my life."


    The cubs howled lightly and a white halo enveloped both the humans and the beasts. The bond of equality was nowplete. The wounds on their wrists (humans) healed while the beast cubs absorbed the blood on their bodies. The beasts grew in size gaining strength from the contract. You Xi Wang and his friends also felt a new kind of power flowing inside their bodies.


    They all stood up after the process was over. You Xi Wang gazed at the sun, which wasing down towards the horizon. He mumbles, "Yama, today I will send you evening gifts."

 Chapter 64: Retaliation.

    Chapter 64: Retaliation.


    You Xi Wang and his friends were rushing through the first with their spirit beasts in their arms. Snow and Snowke were also with them, but they were not supposed to act so proactively. The time was running out, and they needed to find the dark dwellers before the sunsetpletely. After running for quite some time, they found traces of humans.


    You Xi Wang asked others, "One vs one or gang up?"


    They descended into deep thought by themselves Neo suggested, "How about we go, in a group? Altogether, they have five people. The leader will ck off, thinking about how we are worried over Fenny. They could have three sentries, one guard for the hostage. This way we can be fast and reduce the risk of being ambushed." his words came as a surprise to the team and he said, "Fenny, taught me about formation and tactics."


    Neo has never been much of a tactician. He had learned some formations and tactics from Fenny, while she was with him. You Xi Wang looked at the others and they also nodded, thinking it was a low-risk assault n so they all agreed.


    You Xi Wang took the point and led his teammates, Yuki was his right nk and neo took left. An and Snow were supporting, other than the sword, Snow was also capable of mid-range archery arts. So, with this formation, they took on the first sentry.


    This sentry was an individual with middle-level spiritual formation cultivation. He was watching the forest with rapt attention. He was ready to give an alert signal to their leader at a moment''s notice. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his spine before he could guess what it was.


    <em>PUCHI!!</em>


    A Kunai knife pierced out of his throat, he didn''t know what caused his death. Yuki appeared from the shadows, her figure was as ck as shadow, this was the ability she gained from her spirit beast, Shadow. She made a whistling sound and her teammates appeared.


    Neo and An appeared with Luna and Shroud on their shoulders, respectively, Snow carried Snowkes in her arms behind them. Neo quickly used his earth elemental spiritual energy and buried the dark dweller, leaving no traces of any battle.


    Snow looked behind and saw You Xi Wang wasn''t behind them. She turns to others and said, "You Xi Wang is not here."


    An replied to her, "Don''t worry, he can handle himself. Our task is to take down these guys. Let''s go." his tone was calm and his eyes were brimming with confidence. He knew his friend very well. He was sure about You Xi Wang being safe given the skills he posses.


    They all nodded in confirmation and departed toward the next enemy position. They spotted the guy and this time Neo acted, hemunicated with Luna through his spiritual consciousness and tapped into her powers, amplifying them with his own spiritual energy. He created a ball of water around the assant''s head who had no clue of what hit him. He struggled but to no use.


    Soon, the guy died of, what can we call it, Drowning. The group quickly took care of his body the same way they did with the previous one. They headed towards the third position.


    Meanwhile, You Xi Wang also sessfully made his way to the cave where they were holding Fenny. He was enshrouded in Maya''s camouge skill, he was invisible if his movements were slow, as he neared the cave some sounds became obvious.


    Thump!! smack!!


    You Xi Wang could guess it was the sound of beating. He moved quickly and from the entrance he saw inside a dim-lit cavern, damp and humid atmosphere, not very camper friendly, stood anky looking figure in a ck cloak and at his feety a girl with a swollen face, her lightning blue hair scattered over her face, her condition was not good.


    Thenky man looked down at her and spoke in an excited voice, "You look like a broken doll, I love breaking dolls. Hehehe... Come before your friendse, I will have my way with you, hehehe...." he let out a sadistic chuckle, he crouched down and grabbed Fenny by her legs, but when he looked at Fenny''s face he was surprised to see her expression of rage and not fear.


    Heughed again and said, "You are the first one who isn''t begging me, bitch. This is no fun. I want you to beg me for mercy." saying that he kicked her in the belly. Fenny grunted, but she didn''t scream. Thenky man was about to kick her again when he suddenly froze. He felt his neck being grabbed by an iron mp from behind. This mp was none other than You Xi Wang using his hand to stop this guy in his tracks.


    He spoke slowly, "You dare to hurt my friend?" he smashed the guy''s head on the floor with a BANG. You Xi Wang wanted Fenny to kill this guy with her own hands. He lifted his leg and stomped the dark dweller''s head repeatedly without giving him any chance to retaliate. After observing that the dark dweller was half dead he moved up to Fenny, and he helped her unblock her acupoints. None of them spoke a single word.


    Fenny focused and ran a cycle of her cultivation while You Xi Wang applied healing ointment on her swollen wounds. After aging back some of her energy she stood up, sparks of lightning could be seen flickering in her eyes. Her blue-ck hair started shining. This was an ability she got from her Thunder Deo bloodline, Rumbling Stomp. Thunder Doe was a beast that got its name because of the thundering sound it produced while it ran. She walked about to the guy who was tormenting her and stomped all over his body, breaking every single bone in his body. Wherever she stomped the man''s body turned into a minced paste, flesh, and bone fragments could be seen mashed together. It was a disgusting sight.


    She stamped over the man''s head and crushed it, taking his life. After taking in a few deep breaths she gradually calmed down and turned to see You Xi Wang. She walked up to him and hugged him. She started sobbing like a child. You Xi Wang just patted her back gently. They both grew up together and were like siblings, they knew each other better than the other three in the group. Fenny would never show her weak side to anyone, even with her life at risk, she was weak only in front of her parents and the You siblings. This was also the reason she was the second inmand in their team.


    Just when You Xi Wang was about to say something, a hoarse voice interrupted him, "Oye brat, I know you are inside,e out or you better tell your family to arrange for all your group''s funeral. Hahaha... hahaha..." the voice was obviously of Kojo.


    You Xi Wang went outside and saw his friends kneeling on their knees. Kojo was holding down Snow by her hair. You Xi Wang was enraged, he wanted to tear this guy to shreds. He still kept his temper in check. He looked around and saw no cubs were there. He asked the system, ''Scan them.''


    The system scanned his friends instantly and replied, [They are fine master, but your friend, An seems to be under a soul spell, it is trying to break his will.]


    You Xi Wang looked at An and noticed his paleplexion and indifferent gaze. He took a deep breath and calmed down. He then looked at Kojo and said, "What do you want?"


    Kojo chuckled and said, "Kneel or they die." You Xi Wang looked at him and bent down forward. His face was calm and his gaze was firm. Fenny looked at him in disbelief. She never thought he would kneel. But just as he touched the ground with his palms. He raised his head and looked Kojo, right in the eye.


    Kojo froze for a second, and the next thing he knew was him kneeling in front of You Xi Wang who was stepping on his head. He turned around and saw things such as limbs detached from bodies, blood puddles, and minced flesh. He was shocked to see such a sudden change. He tried to get up but couldn''t gather the strength. Just as he was lost in these thoughts, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. He closed his eyes and screamed hard.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw You Xi Wang standing next to him with a sword in his hand. He looked at his shoulder and found out that his hand was not attached anymore. The pain attacked him again, You Xi Wang grabbed his lower jaw and opened his mouth using his left hand. He used his right hand and dragged Kojo''s tongue out.


    "You dared to touch my friends. You dared to put my brother under a soul spell. You dared to ask me to kneel. Who did you think you are? You are nothing but trash of this world and trash of humanity. Now I will make you feel pain in all its glory." You Xi Wang spoke calmly but his voice was cooled. He used a soul spell with the system''s help to free An. That was his prime motive. He gestured to Maya, and with the spiritual bond they shared she understood his intention, and an Icicle appeared in front of You Xi Wang, who grabbed it and stabbed it through Kojo''s tongue, pinning him to the ground.


    Kojo screamed, but the more he moved the more pain it caused. He looked at You Xi Wang, in his eyes the look of bafflement was prominent. You Xi Wang looked at him and said, "In this world, you filthy shitcakes are not the only soul cultivators." with that said he stabbed a tranquilizer needle filled with a pain-inducing leech''s poison in Kojo''s hand, and after a few minutes he let in a wisp of his all elemental spiritual energy in his body.


    He looked after his friends, aided them in recovery, and left amidst Kojo''s screams echoing in the forest. As the sunset Kojo died, while back at their camp You Xi Wang looked at the sky and said, "Happy evening snack, Yama."

 Chapter 65: Departure.

    Chapter 65: Departure.


    You Xi Wang and his friends returned to the campsite. They sat down, heaving a sigh of relief. You Xi Wang used his Holo-phone and called his aunt. The call connected after a few rings, Chen Qianbei appeared in the hologram. She smiled affectionately and said, "Xiao Wang, how are you?"


    You Xi Wang, however, replied in a solemn voice, "Aunt, I used a soul spell. I can barely hold on for five to ten minutes, dispatch Robert to take us all back home. I need to sleep for a few days to recover. Others will exin everything to youter. Don''t tell anyone anything yet."


    Chen Qianbei was a smart woman,, so she knew how grave the situation was for her nephew. She nodded and said, "You don''t have to worry, ask the others to stay vignt. It will take Robert sometime to reach you. I am sending Elder Naixin with him. She will look after you all."


    "Okay, I need to make other arrangements aunt, see you soon." he let out a smile and disconnected the call. He made another call before his friends could ask anything. This call was made to Richard ke, the kingpin of Sahasa Town.


    "Hello, Brother Wang. How are you? Do you guys need help?" Richard ke was aware of You Xi Wang and his friends fighting against the dark dwellers. So he was worried about it.


    Thetter shook his head and said, "They are dealt with, but can you do me a favor?"


    Richard replied instantly, "Anything within my power."


    "Get your men to meet my group at the city limits and give us shelter till morning. I am injured and I need to rest. We havepleted our training early thanks to all these scumbags." chuckled You Xi Wang.


    "Brother Wang, I will get this done personally." the Kingpin gave his word. and the call disconnected.


    You Xi Wang knew his friends will pester him so he said, "I overused my soul energy and need to rest to recover. Don''t worry, I am fine." his face was getting pale with every second. He continued, "Bro An, Fenny, and Yuki, you will take right, left, and center points in the arrow formation respectively, Neo you will have to carry me so you are the shaft and Senior sister Snow will be the tail. We meet with Richard''s people. Fenny, take my Holo-phone, contact Robert in the morning." with this said, he sat down on the ground and Maya came near him and rubbed her head against his leg.


    He stroked her for a while and said, "Be a good girl, Okay Maya?" his voice was low and his tone was soft as he leaned his back against a hollow wood tree, he nced at his friends and beckoned Yuki toe close. She came near him and he said, "Good night, love." and pecked on her lips in front of everyone.


    Snow was shocked, and a blush appeared on her face as she averted her gaze, Neo let out a whistle in praise. An shook his head, while Fenny said, "Okay Yuki, you stop feeling the heat. Let''s get out of this ce." her words drew Yuki away from her dreand. Her face turned red, and she mumbled under her breath, "Bully Xi Wang." They tidied up the campsite and departed towards the city limits.


    Just like You Xi Wang said, they moved in a formation. Yuki in front, Fenny and An as her wingmen on left and right, respectively, while Neo carried You Xi Wang on his back in the center, and behind him was Snow. Everyone had their spirit beasts running along with them. These little cubs were now much stronger than before. The reason being the spiritual energy they gained from the bond between their human partners. Maya was running in front of Yuki, she would growl whenever she found some beast in the area alerting the group. She wouldunch ice des and icicles at the beasts too.


    Snow asked Neo, "Hey, how can Maya act perfectly fine, if You Xi Wang is injured?"


    Neo smiled, "Senior sister, Xiao Wang isn''t injured he just used his soul energy too much when he used that soul spell to kill that guy back there. He is fine, but sleep is the best way to stop wasting energy. Also, it helps people recover soul energy."


    Snow asked with a bewildered face, "You mean to say You Xi Wang''s soul energy is depleted?"


    Neo nodded, "Yes, why?"


    Snow replied, "He is so young, yet he can already use soul skills."


    Yuki frowned as she heard this chit chat. She did not trust this senior sisterpletely, yet, so Neo telling her about You Xi Wang''s prowess was irksome to her. She called out, "Pick up the pace, we are just here. Xi Wang needs rest."


    She interrupted the two in the back, and they ran through the forest even faster. After some time they arrived at the border and saw a group of people standing there. An moved forward and showed them the badge Richard gave themst time.


    The goons suddenly became orderly when they saw the badge because those inside the room that day described the scene vividly scaring them, and to be respectful to some extent but the badge An just presented them was for their leader''s personal guests only, so they respectfully led the group back to the town.


    When the group reached the Indi Inn they saw the innkeeper, Kirpan talking to Richard. They both turned their head and gazed at the group. Richard walked up to An and gave him a hug. He then asked nervously, "Brother An, is he really okay? We can get some medical help from the Council hall if need be."


    An shook his head and said, "No need Kingpin, we just need to rest. Xiao Wang will take some time to recover. Also, don''t worry, we are going back to Silica city tomorrow morning."


    Richard nodded with a solemn expression on his face. He then smiled and said, "If in future any of youe here. You better look for me. Now take him inside I will arrange a simple dinner for us all."


    Yuki replied, "You have treated us with much hospitality, sir. We are grateful, and if you need help anytime, please call for us."


    Richard chuckled, "Very well, little sister."


    An coughed and said, "Little sister-inw. Yuki here is You Xi Wang''s girlfriend."


    Richard smiled even, "Little sister-inw, it is then." he spoke up in a cheerful tone.


    While the rest of the group was stunned because this was one of those unexpected times, An would try to lighten up the mood. The group settled in and they had dinner while You Xi Wang was given a potion as a food supplement. Yuki stayed in You Xi Wang''s room and looked after him. she called Celes from her Holo-phone and take to her, but when Celes asked about You Xi Wang, she couldn''te up with anything and told her everything only when the little girl promised not to leak it. By the end of the narration, Celes was crying rivers, Yuki showed her You Xi Wang''s face and consoled her, saying that he will be fine.


    In the morning Robert arrived to pick them up and along with him came You Naixin. She checked them all and heaved a sigh of relief, "It has been hard on you, brats. Come, let''s go home. We have some people to hunt before my grandson wakes up. Snow I am aware of your circumstances. So I suggest youe along with us."


    Thetter only nodded and followed her instructions. Robert took the cubs and put them all on the front seat. The cubs were looking around with excitement. They were only a few days old and everything was new to them. After bidding farewell to Richard, the group departed towards Silica City.

    Chapter 66: Shocking The Opposition.


    You Xi Wang was being escorted home as his friends asked Richard to help them get their bikes delivered back home. They were all traveling in Maglev cars. You Xi Wang was riding a sports car model with You Naixin. This vehicle was faster than the one his friends were riding. Robert was responsible for their safety.


    Maya sat in You Xi Wang''sp. When Robert tried to take her away so she could stay with her siblings, she growled at him expressing her denial. You Naixin interfered and had her sit down in You Xi Wang''sp. You Naixin was more worried about the situation she will face when You Zhichi and the rest of the family find out about this.


    ...


    Avish construct of metal and ss stood tall among many buildings in the Croma City. This structure had an asterisk-like shape, another noteworthy feature was that this buildingprised Azureel and Ambersten. These two metals were said to be invincible in Metropia. This was the office of the Mirai Group. The Building was called<em><strong> Mirai e no Kaidan</strong></em>. Which meant staircase to the future in the Japanesenguage.


    The top floor of this building was designed with a single purpose,vishness. In Metropia there were no poor people, perks of being a united world. This whole floor was used by the CEO of the Mirai Group, Edward Colt. The walls of this floor were made of Diacrylic. A substance hard enough to stop a grade two spirit ammunition, which would be equal to ballistic cruiser missiles from the earth.


    ...


    People here umted credits. The credits were umted by doing their respective tasks. When The Council of Metropia was established, the leaders of that era were very much disturbed by the fact of rich and poor. So, after careful thinking, they implemented these policies. Some people rejoiced at it, while some mourned the fact that suddenly their patriarchy ended. In the beginning, these policies had loopholes and people exploited them but with iron-hand rules and regtions, The Council rectified them, creating a progressively evolving systematic society. The only difference was that for any or every job you want to do, you will first have to gain a license of proficiency in that area, and then only will you get credits to your designated ount.


    Now everyone was treated the same. The better the jobpletion quality you have, the better credits rewarded. Even after so much change in society, there remain ces where powerful people bend the rules of this system.


    Emily, for instance, was found by Chen Limao wandering in the streets. She was an orphan after her family passed away in an attack by the dark dwellers. Metropia had a lot of departments to look into things like this, yet they can not be omnipotent right after all the people working in these departments were all humans.


    ...


    On the top floor of <em><strong>Mirai e no Kaidan</strong></em>, Edward Colt was holding a meeting. The issue was the loss thepany faced in thest two weeks. They lost a big tender and losing a prominent tender really came as a surprise. Although being argepany this did not affect them much, but their primary business was after allputers. The tender they lost was from Metro-Guardians, an organization that could be called the army of Metropia. It was overlooked by The Council of Metropia itself.


    Inside the conference room of this floorid a 26 seater, oval-shaped ss table, 12 chairs at the side, and 2 chairs at the ends. The big chair at one of the table ends was designated to the CEO, Edward Colt, while the seats got smaller as they progressed towards the other and of the table.


    Right now in this room, all the chairs had one shareholder and executive of thepany seatedfortably, only Edward Colt was missing. The people were all chatting with each other in a leisurely manner. Suddenly, the door opened and a middle-aged man with blonde hair and green eyes walked in. His gaze was reeking of deceit and cruelty but all the people present stood up as he arrived. This man was none other than Edward Colt.


    Despite being a scum that this man was, he was good at business. He had led The Mirai Group from a small scalepany to a global giant. Profit was the only thing that capitalists cared about, and he gave them profit. He nodded to them with a poker face and sat down in his chair.


    Edward spoke, "Please be seated,dies and gentlemen."


    Only then did everyone took a seat. This was the dominance Edward had created for himself throughout the years. The Mirai Group was his domain, He was not afraid of anyone here.


    Edward asked the people on the table, "I guess with your level of intellect, it is apparent why you all have been called here today. I want to know why we missed the contract?"


    A man n his fifties replied, "I asked around, Mr. Chairman, I heard somepany invented a new motherboard. It has been tested to be better than any other motherboard chassis in the market at this moment. I tried to ask whichpany was it but turns out The Council has issued a gag order and we know what that means."


    Edward frowned, "Anyone else. Did you guys find out anything?"


    All of them spoke one by one, but the conclusion was the same. For safety reasons, if apany is to deal with any of the Council organizations their information will be kept a secret. That product will also be reserved for that very organization only. Obviously, they will receive the due payment of the product, which will be the same as the market price.


    Edward leaned back in his chair and gazed out of the floor to ceiling window on his left. He kept looking for quite a while and then exhaled heavily.


    He turned to his executives and said, "Well, now there are two things which we cannot do anything about. First one, our products will now be up for scrutiny of the whole in a week." although they were prepared to hear this. It still came to them like a punch in the gut.


    "Second thing, which is very much inevitable, the market value of ourpany will drop. If thepany which reced us willingly announces to the world, then we can do some damage control, but if they remain hidden, then we are in for at least a 25% drop till we rece them. You guys said that their product was at least 10 years ahead of the market, then I think even if we put all our focus on acquiring the contract two yearster, our chances will still be very low." his words highlighted the graveness of the situation they were in.


    In Metropia, the market value represented the same as the share value or the stock price did on the earth. This drop in the value will cost them a huge loss. If they knew that all this was done by apany that has lost its owner recently, then they might jump off this building. And so the meeting ended with The Mirai Group getting ready for damage control and research preparations.


    Edward sat back and while ncing out of the window he mumbled to himself, "Who are you?"


    ...


    It was early in the evening when You Naixin drove her car inside the You Family mansion. Chen Qianbei was waiting for her in the parking lot as she received a call from You Naixin earlier. You Naixin got off her car and said, "Xiao Bei, do all the exining to others. Also, this brat is asleep, but his body has been absorbing spiritual energy on its own. Throughout the journey, he was emitting a slight golden glow. I think it is better if fewer people get to know about this."


    Chen Qianbei nodded and said, "It is as you say, aunty." although the You family was united still the precaution was better than cure. They both entered the house carrying You Xi Wang in their arms. They made sure nobody saw them. Maya followed them all the way while looking around like a child in wondend.

 Chapter 67: Rest.

    Chapter 67: Rest.


    The Mirai Group was now fastening its belt to tackle the unexpected problem in front of them. Inside You Xi Wang''s bedroom sat many people. All of them had a solemn expression on their faces.


    ...


    Inside You Xi Wang''s room sat the elders of You family, his friends, and his sister. Emily, Susan, and Celes stood beside You Zhichi while Maya sat near You Xi Wang with a vignt expression as she did not know anyone in this ce except for the group of kids she met in the forest.


    You Ziyou spoke after the group exined everything, "You are telling me you brat took on one core formation realm, dark dweller, and Two groups of spiritual-formation teams of dark dwellers proficient in the soul cultivation. Correct? I missed nothing out. Did I?"


    The group shook their heads in sync. Even though Snow was new to these people, her synchronization wasmendably good. You Ziyou looked at his grandson who was peacefully sleeping on the bed, and then he turned to look at this group of brats. His gaze was so strong that the kids gulped and took a step back.


    Observing the situation You Naixin stepped up and said, "Ninth brother, if you gaze at my kids like this, be assured I will shave you all bald." her words were targeted at all the elders of the family (her brothers). The elders quickly said, "Ninth brother, spare the kids after all that has happened we should be proud that they survived the attacks and even took down such formidable opponents." the one who spoke was the second elder of the family, You Chengshi.


    You Ziyou helplessly shook his head as he knew this sister of hers will do what she just said. Chen Qianbei heaved a sigh of relief and after some discussion, the elders left. Only You Ziyou stayed behind with an excuse that he wants to check on You Xi Wang again.


    After Emily closed the door of the room, they all scurried their way towards You Xi Wang''s bed, surrounding it. They were all gazing at him from top to bottom. Maya felt uneasy coz they were all so strong and in panic cast her camouge making You Xi Wang and herself vanish.


    Yuki shook her head and said with a smile, "Maya, we will not harm him." Shadow whoid in her armsid a growl to convey this message to her sister, and only then did Maya removed the illusion.


    Susan held You Xi Wang''s wrist to check his pulse. After the assessment, she said, "Xi Wang''s body is functioning normally. There is no problem."


    Chen Qianbei probed with her soul sense and stated that it was his soul that was exhausted and he will be fine after sleeping for two days. You Naixin asked, "Why is there this faint golden glow from his body?"


    Yuki spoke up, "Since we are all his close ones, I wouldn''t mind telling you guys. Xi Wang can use five elements, whenbined they look golden. So maybe he is absorbing energy from the five elements altogether."


    You Zhichi and Celestia however were unconcerned about all this and just wanted You Xi Wang to get better. Celestia tugged at Chen Qianbei''s sleeve, who looked at her and asked, "What is it, Celes?"


    The little girl replied, "Aunt BeiBei, when will big brother wake up?"


    Chen Qianbei gently tussled her hair and said, " soon, sweetheart. How about we prepare a gift for him? So, that when he wakes up he will be happy? How about this?"


    The little girl was very innocent and was easily coaxed by Chen Qianbei, and agreed. She left to find her friends to help her with it after she kissed You, Xi Wang, on his cheeks and wished him to get well soon.


    Yuki whispered to Chen Qianbei softly when others were busy, "Aunt, do not remove his battlesuit, for the time being, there is something which he found after great risk. Let him wake up first." thetter nodded in agreement.


    ...


    You Naixin sent all his friends home. Now Chen Qianbei, You Naixin, You Zhichi, You Ziyou, Emily, Susan, and Snow were left in the room. Snow was asked to stay behind by You Zhichi. She was not yet aware of her ssmate''s circumstances.


    You Zhichi spoke first, "Snow, what were you doing in the Whispering Woods?"


    Snow looked around and she looked down towards the floor as she said in a solemn voice, "My father worked for Seedling Inc. as a senior explorer. He was given an assignment inside the forest. At first, it was okay, but then one day his updates and calls stopped. So, I went and check at home, thinking that maybe mom knew something. When I reached home, I found my mother was missing. Someone is definitely targeting us. So, after I couldn''t find any help, I went to look for him and came across You Xi Wang." her eyes were clouded when she finished speaking, You Naixin came to her side and hugged her in consolement.


    Chen Qianbei asked, "Why did you not seek help from the Council?"


    Snow was in You Naixin''s embrace spoke, "I did. They said they will dispatch an enforcer but after a few hours, that enforcer went missing too. They then made a better team for this investigation."


    You Zhichi spoke, "It is good that you came across, Xi Wang. From now on, you are my friend. I am not taking a no for an answer this time. Also, don''t worry, it will be alright."


    Snow said nothing, only nodded in eptance as tears fell off from her eyes. She hurriedly wiped them off. She felt warm inside her heart after this family disyed such affection towards her.


    You Ziyou spoke, "I will leave you guys to it. These brazen bastards.....I need to meditate or I will burst a vein."


    He left the room in wide stripes. This was going to be one long night for the family. Slowly everyone left. Snow was stayed in a guest house by You Naixin. Chen Qianbei left to handle some affairs too. Leaving behind only You Zhichi, Emily, and Susan.


    You Zhichi stroked her brother''s face gently as she mumbled, "It has been hard on you, Gougou." she never liked her brother to be in pain, and seeing him like this hurt her too. She had tears in her eyes.


    Emily asked, "Zhichi, why are you crying? What if, Young master got to know? Will he not me himself?"


    You Zhichi shook her head, "You better not snitch on me, Emily, or I will tell him how you were drooling while imagining things in broad daylight."


    Emily opened her eyes wide and her face turned as red as a tomato. She jumped on her best friend, grabbed her shoulder, and shook her while saying, "Don''t you dare do that, Zhichi?"


    You Zhichi smirked, "Or what? try to do something and I will ask my brother to not talk to you."


    Emily felt like she was hit by lightning. She cried, "Why are you so cruel?"


    You Zhichiughed at this and looked at Susan, who gulped as she felt her gaze. You Zhichi shook her head and said, "Rx sister Susan, I am not like that. I won''t tell him how you asked granny Xin to show you his childhood pictures almost every day."


    Susan fell down on her knees and said dramatically, "Oh Celestial Maiden, please spare this humble maid."


    She exchanged a nce with Emily and they both started tickling her. Theirughter echoed throughout the room. When after sometime Maya couldn''t take it she growled which was ignored and then she cast Icicles when the girls saw this, they understood that they were disturbing You Xi Wang and thus left after apologizing to Maya.


    The night turned into day and the cycle continued for a week. Naixin, Chen Qianbei, Emily, Susan, and You Zhichi each would spend some time inside the room looking after him daily, while Celestia was happier that she would sleep on a different bed ced in the same room. That was what she decided until her big brother wakes up.

 Chapter 68: Woke Up.

    Chapter 68: Woke Up.


    This past one week You Xi Wang was asleep, while his system still helped his host use this time to the maximum. You Xi Wang''s body was constantly absorbing spiritual energy strengthening his cultivation base. His grandfather just told everyone that You Xi Wang was in a secluded retreat as he needed to digest his gains and only some members could approach his room.


    Given the hierarchy in the family, this announcement was followed to the word, but as days passed the elders got fidgety about You Xi Wang waking up because everyone will get suspicious after all there was a limit for digesting gains from a trip. And You Xi Wang had very highprehension abilities.


    Just as everyone was doubted something, thest day of the week arrived. You Xi Wangid inside his room and his spiritual filter has grown so much that it now looked like a golden cocoon, Maya who sat beside his bed sat on her hind legs looking at You Xi Wang with an alert gaze.


    His family elders were also present on the spot. If You Xi Wang did not wake up today, then they would call in a specialist in soul injuries. Chen Qianbei also supported this decision of the elders after all she might be in the primal soul realm, but she was not an expert in soul injuries especially.


    Just as they were about to discuss the golden cocoon shook slightly. Maya stood up with this movement. Everyone else also noticed this. The shaking of the cocoon got stronger.


    Inside the cocoon, You Xi Wang started to mixing the spiritual energy he had absorbed by using his cultivation sutra with the five-colored pond inside his dantian. He kept doing this and the pond grew bigger. As the pond kept growing bigger the golden cocoon faded. When the cocoon fadedpletely everyone heard a soft explosion from You Xi Wang''s body signifying that he has broken through a boundary in his cultivation base.


    You Xi Wang realized that after the pond reached its limit, the space in his dantian expanded with a boom. He was now a 3rd level spiritual formation cultivator. As he felt an increase in his power, he slowly opened his eyes. Maya quickly jumped on hisp and rubbed her head against his stomach. He looked down and stroked her soft fur gently. He looked around and found all the elders looking at him with smiles. He smiled back and stood up while holding Maya in his arms.


    He greeted them all, "Greetings, Grandpas."


    They all nodded and exchanged some pleasantries. The hub-hub calmed down and You Xi Wang asked, "How are things in the family. I want a report before dinner. Also, elders, you all have chosen your apprentices?"


    The elders nodded, confirming his second question. As for the first question, You Qiangda replied, "Xiao Wang, thanks to your idea of Lithical Iron Motherboard has really a great achievement. Thanks to it, Tianlong Tech. secured the annual contract of supplying the product to the Council''s Guardian Unit."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile this was good news. He then turned to look at his aunt, who naturally understood his intention and said, "The information regarding Seedling Inc. has been collected. ording to our findings, on the surface, they deal with elixir research, but in the shadows, they provide a valid foreground for dark dwellers. They give dark dwellers a way to blend in the open society and influence it."


    You Xi Wang nodded, he replied, "Try to find out about Snow''s father. I will talk to her about thister. Also, Ronald Colt, son of Edward Colt wille to take part in the next school assessment. I want to know your opinions about this. Should I kill him? Or should I make him a pawn?"


    The Elders were all shocked, they have found all this information but did not know how could You Xi Wang also know about this. Noticing their expressions, thetter then exined his encounter with Steven and Jeremy. Everyone praised him knowing how he tortured Jeremy, but they frowned when they heard about him letting Steven go.


    You Xi Wangughed and said, "Don''t worry, grandpas, I will not let even one of them away. Steven is now my soul ve. One thought and he will die, but I need to use him to the maximum." his words gave them all another shock. Chen Qianbei was also very surprised because creating soul seals was a taxing task for anyone under the peak of the Primal Soul realm. Yet, this teenage boy could do it despite being just a Spiritual formation realm.


    The elders then expressed their opinions, which turned into an argument, half of them supported if You Xi Wang could kill Ronald Colt while half of them favored making him a soul ve and act as a spy. You Naixin spoke atst, "You old coots, Xi Wang is still too young and his strength is not enough. If he kills that son of a bitch, then won''t his scum of a fathere looking for trouble? It is settled, Xi Wang, dear make that bitch a soul ve and use him against his father."


    they all calmed down as they didn''t dare to counter her logic. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Not just his father but his whole family. The entire death sect. Everyone who is rted to Edward Colt, they will pay the price." his eyes emitted a strong feeling to kill.


    Celestia who was listening from the side for a long time now reached her limit of patience and pouted, "Are you all done? I want to talk to my big brother too. We are all waiting here for our turns, you know. I will tell Granny Xin what you call her in secret." all the elders turned to look at Celestia, only to find her pouty little face.


    You Naixin''s ears stood up at her words and she appeared next to her. She crouched down in front of Celestia and said in an affectionate voice, "Celes, my dear. Tell Granny, what did they say? I will get you... UMM, how about I teach you knife handling? You want to learn that right?"


    Celestia''s big eyes sparkled she was perfectly coaxed by this offer, and she said, "Granny, First grandpa said that you are like a tiger-hen, always ready to scratch."


    You Naixin smiled as she looked at her first brother who shivered slightly under her gaze and muttered, "Tiger-hen, huh?"


    Celestia continued to tell her how her brothers called her names in secret and how they said Celestia should tell no one about it or they will not y with her. her eyes turned misty as she sobbed saying, she didn''t want to tell it to her but they just won''t stop talking to You Xi Wang and this irritated her. She also said that now they won''t talk to her because she spilled their beans.


    You Naixin hurriedly took the little girl in her embrace and gazed at her brothers coldly as she asked, "Will you guys make our little fairy cry by not ying or talking to her?"


    All of them said in perfect unison, "NO, WE DARE NOT."


    You Naixin then said to Celestia, "See, they were all joking they won''t stop talking to you Celes. Now you talk to Xi Wang and others. I will talk to them." with that said she put Celestia down with a kiss on her cheeks, making the little girl giggle.


    She called her brothers outside the room, and shortly after cries echoed throughout the whole You family mention and the on-lookers just enjoyed the scene of You Naixin chasing her brothers and shaving their beard off.


    While inside the room You Xi Wang, You Zhichi, and Emilyughed out hard when they were told of this. Susan, who was clueless about this said, "Shouldn''t you stop Granny Xin?"


    You Xi Wangughed even harder as he said, "That will make her shave them bald too."


    You Zhichi said, "Don''t worry, this is the way they express their love to each other." she also kept giggling. Emily said, "Just wait till tomorrow, you will find out during the breakfast tomorrow."


    You Xi Wang picked up Celesia in his arms and said, "Well done, little fairy, Big brother will take you to eat out in a few days, okay?" his words were like music to the kid who agreed instantly. They kept talking inside the room. Celestia showed him a handmade get well soon card and other gifts. While You Zhichi just scolded him for getting hurt and so with his girlfriends. Susan has taken up residence in the mansion too, after her mother left for the Council.


    The day ended. You Xi Wang decided on his next step. Tomorrow morning another attack will be put into action.

 Chapter 69: Fight.

    Chapter 69: Fight.


    The You family gathered in the dining hall. The hall was circr. The hall ceiling was supported by strong alloy pirs, the walls were decorated with gemstone engravings of four mystical beasts. The ceiling had ten crystal and ss chandeliers hanging from it in a circle, while in the center of the circle hung five stones encased in four mythical beasts and YOU engraved coverings. Light leaked out from the stones. The light was so bright that it made the engravings look like they were cast by the light itself.


    The tables were set in a unique manner, too. The dining hall had no doors. It was said that the ancestors of You Family did not like restrictions about eating hours. So, when he became the family head, the first thing he did was to remove the doors of the dining hall. Inside the hallid a round table with eleven seats. This table was for the family head and the Elders Council, around this table, was another table, that circumference the main table, this table was for executives in the family. A third table circumference these two tables. This table was for the outstanding young generation individuals of the family. There was left an empty spot of one chair in both the outer tables, preventing them from blocking the way to the Master''s table.


    The tables and chairs were all same but different in sizes. The master''s throne was the biggest and a golden-colored YOU insignia was engraved on its headrest. The chairs for the Elder''s were smaller and had a white-colored YOU insignia engraved on the headrests. The other chairs were all uniform sized and had a blue-colored YOU insignia engraved on them.


    Te family held gatherings here on special asions such as birthdays and achievements of the family members, but some individuals came to have their meals here daily. This dining hall could be seen as a cafeteria of the family. Today was a special asion in the family.


    You Xi Wang arrived with Celestia holding his hand, while You Zhichi and his aunt, Chen Qianbei walked behind the duo. The rest of the family members were almost all present, they all stood up regarding the master of the household. You Xi Wang smiled and nodded to them all one by one as he walked towards his chair. They all took seats and waited for everyone to arrive. There was also a guest table where Susan and Snow sat down. Although Susan was You Xi Wang''s girlfriend, she was not yet an official member of the family. As for Snow, she was a guest.


    Shortly after, when all the members arrived, only the elders were missing. All the You family juniors were looking towards the entrance in anticipation. You Naixin arrived first wearing a red shirt paired with ck jeans. Her hair was tied in a pony. She wore red sneakers with ck flowers printed on them, nobody could say that thisdy was in her fifties, she didn''t look one day older than her mid-twenties.


    She was greeted by everyone with a smile, and she smiled back at them too. She came to the master''s table and sat down. near You Xi Wang, who was smiling at her. Five minutes passed, but the elders were missing. A young man couldn''t hold it in anymore and said, "Granny Xin, why are the elders not here?"


    You Naixin turned to him and said, "They will be here You Kai." she then turned to the entrance and yelled, "ARE YOU OLD COOTS COMING IN OR DO YOU WANT ME TO SHAVE YOUR HEAD BALD TOO?"


    Just as she finished saying all the elders entered the hall. They all had a mask on their faces. The family members all saw this and tried to hold in theirughter, they all knew the reason behind this. The elders sat down on their respected tables, and You Xi Wang stood up to address the family, "Today, we are gathered here because our dear Granny Xin has achieved another milestone, on the behalf of the family I congratte her. Let the feast begin."


    As he was done with his piece, the food was served. Everyone started eating, but Susan and Snow were confused about what achievement did You Naixin achieved. So, Susan stood up and asked, "Granny Xin, I congratte you on your achievement but please pardon me, can you tell me what is this achievement everyone is celebrating?"


    Her innocent question triggered a bout ofughter around the hall. The whole family wasughing except the elders, Chen Qianbei and Susan and Snow. You Naixin answered her after calming down, "Sweetheart. This grandma just slew Nine Dragonsst night." everyoneughed again.


    Susan raised his brows and said, "Granny, Nine Dragons? Isn''t it too much of boasting?" before You Naixin could reply an elder who felt very embarrassed and agitated took off his mask and yelled to the whole crowd, "THE DRAGONS SHE IS TALKING ABOUT IS OUR BEARDS, OKAY? NAIXIN, YOU BRAT, HO..." before he could even finish his words, a pastry was found covering his face.


    You Naixin had thrown a pastry on his face. The whole crowd descended in silence. You Gongzheng (fourth elder) was enraged. He picked up a dish in front of him and threw it towards the former, who ducked and dodged it. The dishnded upon an executive''s face. Amidst all this Susan who saw You Gongzheng''s baby face without the beardughed out loud. Other elders took their masks and showed their beardless faces, You Shengyu (seventh elder) said in a deep voice, "Enough, today we punish this brat You Naixin. We have spoiled her too much." they were after all her elder brothers and they spoiled her since childhood, but this time they really were agitated.


    You Ziyou looked towards his grandson, who was trying not tough hard, and said, "Brat, dere that the fight is on. We can''t wait any longer."


    You Xi Wang looked towards all the elders and said as he stood up, "Everyone, this is the 30th time granny Xin has in the dragons. So, the Dragon keepers seek revenge. Normally, they could have had a duel but this time, there is a change of rules."


    Everyone started whispering, You Naixin asked, "What do you mean, Xi Wang?"


    You Xi Wang said in a loud voice, "I dere the 30th battle of honor is now open." he picked up a pastry and threw it towards his cousin You Shan Wang and yelled, ''Food Fight." it took everyone a bit to understand what just happened, but when they did, the entire hall descended in chaos. Pastries, cakes, noodles, soups, stews. rice balls and whatnot flew all over the ce, hitting anyone and everyone.


    The family had a food fight, where there was no winner. Yet, it helped them dissolve their issues withughter when they looked at how funny they all were, covered in food and beverages. After they ran out of ammunition, You Xi Wang spoke again, "I dere, the winner is You Family. Glory to the You Family."


    His cry was answered by all the people present. "GLORY TO THE YOU FAMILY." after this they all left to clean up and You Xi Wang asked the elders and Executives to be present in the Main Hall for some discussion.

 Chapter 70: Kick-Off.

    Chapter 70: Kick-Off.


    In his past life, You Xi Wang was a small yet sessful entrepreneur for two years. In these couple of years, he led his sales consultancy business to be a big shark of the small pond. If only his so-called sess hadn''t gotten to his head, and he becamecent enough, making him take a step in the big league and getting his ass-whooped. The reason is very simple, even if you are talented and good with brains, it does not guarantee that the world will let you achieve what you want to achieve, someone''s profit is someone''s loss and vice versa.


    So, when You Xi Wang took his step into the big league with no support and backing, the already established yers of the game learned about his ways. His sess in those two years made them envious and insecure of his existence in the game, so they eliminated this threat called You Xi Wang by plotting and ganging upon him. What they did was very simple. They nted spies in his office, learned his ways, and blocked his ways. They thought he will go back to his small leagues after this, but who knew that his will broke and he detested the world for being the way it was.


    It was not his creativity but the others who held him back.


    ...


    After cleaning up when the Elders and the executive members reached the main hall they found You Xi Wang already seated on the throne and his eyes were closed as if lost in deep thoughts. They decided not to disturb him and when all the members gathered, You Xi Wang opened his eyes and greeted them all with a nod. He stood up and came to the center of the hall. He looked around and said in a deep voice.


    "Last time, I made ns for expansions. Though there have been some changes we can still use it. Big sis, I asked you to n an advertising campaign for our Lithical Iron motherboard, but now that it is a Council exclusive product we cannot advertise it. So, we need toe up with another product and look for some allies before we expand because survival in the market alone would be very hard."


    You Chengshi, the second elder of the family, spoke up, "How about we open up a pharmacy in Croma city? It is a big city and pharmacies are profitable."


    The members present whispered among them, discussing the feasibility of this idea. Simrly, every elder presented ideas from designer clothing to perfumes and from weapon shops to auction halls. Everything they could think of was then presented. You Xi Wang kept strolling as he could not decide which idea to follow. Suddenly he remembered a sport popr in his old world. His stroll came to an abrupt halt.


    He said addressing the audience in the hall, "How about we open a game workshop?"


    You Junwang, the eighth elder of the family said, "Xiao Wang does this world not have games already? What will be the differing criteria?"


    You Xi Wang answered, "Grandpa Junwang, every game in Metropia is based on either cultivation, beast hunts, or facing the dark side. The game I came up with might turn into a sport in real-life too. There is no fighting involved, and a proctor will watch over the yers to see they do not vite the rules. This game will not use any weapons but a ball as a medium of y. This game will attract people, believe me."


    You Ziyuo, the ninth elder and former family head and also, You Xi Wang''s biological grandfather asked, "Xiao Wang, child borate this game of yours to all of us."


    You Xi Wang nodded and started speaking, "Matches may be yed on natural or artificial surfaces. The color of artificial surfaces must be green. The field of y must be rectangr and marked with lines. These lines belong to the areas of which they are boundaries. The two longer boundary lines are called touchlines. The two shorter lines are called goal lines. The field of y is divided into two halves by a halfway line, which joins the midpoints of the two touchlines. The center mark is shown at the midpoint of the halfway line. A circle with a radius of 9.15 meters or 10 yards is marked around it." he took a short pause and observed everyone listening to him keenly.


    he took a deep breath and continued, "These were the regtions of the field where the game will be yed now allow me to state the dimensions of the field. The length of the touchline must be greater than the length of the goal line.


    The Length of the field also called touchline should be a minimum of 90 meters or 100 yards, and a maximum of 120 meters or 130 yards.


    The width of the field also called the goal line should be a minimum of 40 meters or 50 yards, and a maximum of 90 meters or 100 yards."


    You Naixin spoke up, "This all sounds soplicated. Xiao Wang, can you not make this simple."


    A wave ofughter spread across the hall, You Xi Wang smiled and shook his head as he said, "Granny, if it gets simple then what will be the difference between my idea and others? Anyhow, should I continue?"


    You, Shan Wang, spoke up, "Yes, go on." he was the youngest executive of the family, he was very skilled in marketing other than martial arts.


    After approval, You Xi Wang continued to speak about many things, from the ball dimension to the yer allotment, from what gestures were forbidden to what things could do during the match. This process was lengthy, but as a ser fanatic himself, he persisted and borated on the rules and scoring policy of the game, and many misceneous things. His vision garnered attention from everyone. When he was done someone asked, "Young Master, can I ask you something?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, "Yes, please do Uncle Chang."


    You Chang asked, "Young master what will be the benefits of this game, and what is this game called?"


    You Xi Wang said, "It will make the kids a bit more physically active as they will be ying it in the V-R pods, just like other exercises these days. Second, It will help them learn unity and better human conduct. Is that enough or should I borate on this as well? As for the name, let''s call it Football?"


    Others nodded in agreement and approval.


    You Chang smiled and said, "I understand Young Master, I will make a report on this and handle the NOC procedure with the council. Will that be okay?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, "I appreciate that, Uncle Chang. Please get that done, I will brief the technicians in thepany tomorrow to create a virtual game ce ording to my rule description. With that said, you all may leave and get to work, If this is sessful we can make You Family a top family."


    The crowd walked out, now only the elders remained as You Xi Wang asked them to stay behind using his soulmunication. He walked up to the throne and from behind it, he took out a bag. This bag made others very curious. You Xi Wang held it in front of them and said, "I found this elixir by a lucky encounter. It is one of the most highly sought treasures in this world."


    You Wanqiang, the fifth elder of the family spoke, "Why the build up Xiao Wang?"


    You Xi Wang then replied, "It is a blood shake tree"


    His word made everyone freeze because they knew the value of this elixir. Before they could ask anything more about it, You Xi Wang opened the bag and took out a spherical container. He deployed a soul barrier to stop any signals to leak out before taking the container out. He opened the container and everyone saw it. You Xi Wang then turned to You Naixin and said, "Granny nt this in a ce nobody knows except for us. My friends helped me with it so they will have a share when it matures. I hope no one has any objections. If you have objections, then pleasee forward, and I will exin my actions."


    You Shengyu, the seventh elder of the family spoke up, "You are the master of the family and The family will support you unconditionally until you make us do something which has gone against the family and our pride. We understand why you want to keep this nt a secret because it can both be a boon and a curse to us. So, the fewer people know about it the better."


    You Xi Wang looked toward him with a gratified gaze. He then handed the nt to You Naixin and the bag and the container to You Xianhui, the third elder, and asked him to dump this bag somewhere in the whispering wood by a trustable man under hismand. He then looked at the time it was already noon.


    The elders nodded and after a small talk, they all left to attend their own matters.

 Chapter 71: Under The Moonlight.

    Chapter 71: Under The Moonlight.


    After the meeting, everyone got busy with their work and You Xi Wang strolled around the mansion in leisure. He was bored. There was a limit to which he can cultivate in a day. He visited many ces in the mansion. After the stroll, he came to a ce which was lonely after his parents passed away.


    It was a balcony garden in his parent''s cultivation room. To this day the room was cleaned and everything inside was kept the way it was when they were alive. The balcony was filled with many flower pots. Most of the flowers were of light colors, his mother always liked white and other light colors. There were some bright-colored flowers there. You Xi Wang waved his hand and created a mist from water vapors which then settled over the nts. It was like morning dew has appeared to moisten the nts.


    You Xi Wang watched these flowers for a bit when he felt someone else appear inside the room. He turned to see Maya walking towards him, followed by Celestia. Celestia''s face blossomed with a smile when she saw You Xi Wang as she ''flew'' herself into his embrace. Maya also jumped over his shoulder and snuggled against his face. You Xi Wang was betweenughter and tears in this situation but he still held Celestia in his arms and asked, "Celes, what are you doing here?"


    Celestia looked him in the eyes and said, "Big brother, Maya is so fast. I was ying tag with her, but I couldn''t catch her." she replied in aining tone. You Xi Wang couldn''t help but chuckle and spoke to the white furball on his shoulder, "Maya, don''t bully my little fairy, okay? She is a good girl." the wolf cub nodded and You Xi Wang turned to the girl in his arms, "Celes, remember if your opponent is stronger than you in physique then use your brain, that is how you will grow stronger. Okay?" he consoled the girl.


    Whoever the kid then asked him, "What if the opponent is stronger in both ways?"


    You Xi Wang got momentarily stunned then he smiled and said, "Then, ites down to the resolve. Resolve to try your best with no expectation of result. Work hard to improve yourself." he stroked her hair gently before he put her on the ground and led her to have lunch. All the way long the girl was silent, then just as they were about to reach she snapped, "Okay, I get it. Granny Xin told me that even if one loses they should not give up and keep on persisting. Only then can they be stronger."


    You Xi Wang patted her head in affirmation. After they had lunch Celestia went to look for You Naixin for her lessons and she took Maya, who was very reluctant to part with You Xi Wang, with her. Again he felt bored. Even after being such an advanced world, Metropia was very constricted. The rules were strict and fun was limited. You Xi Wang saw his cousins carrying some things, and they were about to head out. He recognized those things to be musical instruments. You Xi Wang found these instruments weird and made himself a guitar.


    In his previous life, he liked to do everything himself and when he wanted to learn how to y the guitar. He made one for himself, using his own hands. This was his personality, never satisfied with what anyone else could do. He searched the Metro and found somepanies that supplied wood matching his requirements. He ced a rapid delivery order for the quantity needed. When he was confused about what to do about the strings, he saw apany on the inte which specialized in custom wire works.


    You Xi Wang had the knowledge about how they were made, so he ced an order after filling in all the requirements and processes of manufacture. In thirty minutes the wood was delivered. He took all the stuff to his bedroom and started crafting the body of the guitar. In Metropia, elementary education taught people a lot of things,nguages, basic subjects, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and social science. Curricr activities were smiting, carpentering, alchemy, array study. So they were all very much well educated before they even reached high school. The technology provided solutions for everything, but this also affected the mental age of the kids, as they were way too mature for their age.


    You Xi Wang had felt this in recent days. He became the Maestro thanks to this system, but he never had the time for anything else. He thought some changes should be done to create a more bnced society, that is why he came up with Football as a game in this world. In the evening, the strings he ordered arrived. Robert received them and brought them over to You Xi Wang. When he gave the strings to thetter. He noticed the wood scrubbing and dust inside the room. This made him curious about what his young master was doing, but before he could ask anything the door was closed and he left shaking his head.


    After everything was joined, You Xi Wang strummed the strings, and it produced a familiar sound. He tuned the guitar using the cogs at the back. Because of the special wood, the guitar was light, and it produced a very pleasant acoustic sound. He was about to y the guitar when he looked around and saw the mess he made. With a bitter smile, he called in a maid and asked her to clean the room with an apologetic smile on his face. After that, he walked around the mansion looking for a ce where he can sit down and y the guitar.


    Many servants saw him carrying the guitar, something they had never seen before, and it aroused their curiosity. Just when someone was about to ask him what it was he ran towards his parent''s cultivation room. He opened the door and took a stool from the side and carried it on the balcony. He sat down and ced the guitar on his thigh with the strings facing outwards.


    The guitar was midnight blue, a hand extended outside from its body, six lustrous alloy strings could be seen attached to it. He strummed them downwards and a pleasant sound was produced. You Xi Wang smiled and started strumming the guitar with his right hand while his left hand pressed down the strings on the hand, which was known as a fretboard. He warmed up by ying scales, chords, and doing some exercises to flex his fingers.


    Unknown to him, a clear sky lit up as the stars and moon shone in their full splendor. His family members were looking for him as he has put his Holo-phone away while working on the guitar. He hummed along with the strums and unknowingly started singing.


    "<em>There I stood, under the dim-lit moon, looking at the star-lit sky...</em>


    <em>I don''t know why, but it reminds me of your eyes...</em>


    <em>That gentle gaze which caressed my face, full of sparkles inside...</em>


    <em>I remember your words, those pinches that hurt, and the love you which will always reside...</em>


    <em>There I stood, under the dim-lit moon, feeling the wind blowing my hair...</em>


    <em>I don''t know why, but it reminds me of that fair...</em>


    <em>That firm grip which held me up, securing me by your side...</em>


    <em>I remember your deeds, those yful hits, and the pats on my back which will always reside...</em>


    <em>There I stood under the dim-lit moon, calling for you with a smile...</em>


    <em>There you were, watching over us from the star-lit</em> sky...


    <em>I will carry you with me, inside my heart, even after saying goodbye..</em>."


    The song ended after You Xi Wang hummed a bit more. Unknown to him when he started singing his family, which was looking for him to have arrived behind him, every one of them had misty eyes. The song had affected them all to varying degrees. You Zhichi wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. She moved up to You Xi Wang grabbed his ear and said, "Bro, you made us all so worried." she twisted the ear in her grip, making You Xi Wang beg and scream for mercy.


    He put down his guitar and ran from his sister, who chased behind him to give him a good whacking. Celestia also chased after them with Maya in her arms. This act brought a smile to everyone''s face.

 Chapter 72: First day at work.

    Chapter 72: First day at work.


    After the chase through the mansion, You Xi Wang was given some verbalshing about how he was being irresponsible and making the family worry. He then had his dinner and was about to go to his room when his aunt called him to her room. When he entered, he saw her holding the guitar in her hands as she asked, "Xiao Wang, can you tell me what is this musical instrument? I have seen the Vibra, but this is unlike what I have seen."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Aunt, this instrument is called the Guitar, unlike the Vibra which can be yed by people who are trained to do that. This instrument can be yed by anyone with some practice. As they gradually improve their skill will improve and they will discover new ways to y it. The style to y a Vibra is too rigid, even the posture is pre-defined while the guitar gives one freedom and flexibility."


    Chen Qianbei nodded and said, "How about we manufacture it and sell it? Since it is a musical device, the council will approve of it."


    You Xi Wang then said, "Umm, okay. We will do as you say. I will give you the specifics of manufacturing processes and then you look for apany that makes Vibra. We will work in coboration."


    Chen Qianbei nodded and gave him the guitar. After a small talk, You Xi Wang retired for the night. The sun came up and Emily arrived to wake him up for the day. She entered the room and saw You Xi Wang sleeping with his mouth half-open. As she was about to move closer to him she saw a slight tent protruding on the lower half of the quilt he was covered in. She instinctively moved her hand to grab it, but just when her hand was a few centimeters away she froze. Her face turned beet red, and she retracted her hand while gulping a mouthful of saliva. She closed her eyes and took a few moments to calm her down.


    She nudged You Xi Wang on his shoulder and said, "Young Master, the sun has risen. Wake up please."


    You Xi Wang grabbed her hand and dragged her to his side on the bed, Emily shrieked she tried to resist and said in a very low voice, "Young master let me go, I have work to do."


    However, the effect was the opposite of her plea as You Xi Wang pulled her closer and kissed her lips gently. Emily was stunned and tried to put some resistance, but after a few moments she started reciprocating his advances and the two felt each other while they entangled with each other.


    Celestia carried Maya in her arms as she made her way towards You Xi Wang''s room. She knocked on the door and spoke in the speaker on the side, "Big brother, are you awake? Maya seems to be sick." her anxious voice woke up the love-drunk couple as they quickly sorted their clothes and You Xi Wang opened the door.Celestia gave them a confused look but ignore the feeling as she saw them both blushing a bit.


    You Xi Wang walked up to Celestia and took Maya from her embrace. He then smiled at the girl and said, "My little fairy, Maya is just a few weeks old and she needs to be fed spiritual energy. She has be my spirit beast, so I need to feed her the energy. She is not sick, don''t worry." he patted her head with affection and sat down in the lotus stance with Maya in hisp. He spoke to Emily, "You guys go ahead. I will see you over breakfast."


    You Xi Wang channeled his spiritual energy and passed it onto Maya. This was a process to nourish her beast core and also strengthening the bond these two shared. After he went to take a shower and got ready to leave for the dining hall. He wore a white shirt, blue jeans, and paired them with white sneakers. He always liked to dress. He took Maya and ced her on his shoulder, making his way to the dining hall.


    The family shared a filling meal. Afterward, You Xi Wang and his sister both left for thepany office together with Robert. Despite being the son of the owner, You Xi Wang never visited thepany office. He attended the parties andpany functions, but they were all arranged away from the office. But he had a business in his past life, so he was excited about visiting the office. Soon the pair of siblings reached the office edifice and alighted the vehicle.


    You Zhichi turned to face him before they entered the building. She gracefully took out a silver-colored bracelet, a pendant was hanging from it, the word YOU was engraved on it. She took her brother''s hand and gently tied the bracelet on his right wrist. He looked at her with a confused expression and asked, "Sis, why the gift?"


    You Zhichi was one head shorter than him in height now. She raised her hand and spoke while brushing her hair to a side so they don''t fall on his forehead, "This bracelet is given to the Family Master and Grandpa gave it to me when we were leaving. Congrattions on officially bing the family master, Gougou." her voice was cheerful and her gaze was full of affection and warmth. You Xi Wang felt moved and hugged her shoulder as they moved to the entrance chatting with smiles on their faces.


    The building was not tall, but it was only 10 floors high but, it was designed as if a dragon was raising its head to charge at the heavens. It was an exquisite construct building even if the scale was smallpared to the modern skyscrapers in Silica City. At the entrance were four guards in ck battle suits, they all carried assault rifles and handguns. They saluted as the pair of siblings arrived. As they entered through the gate, a wall-mounted scanner activated and performed a search on them by using aser.


    You Xi Wang was fascinated by the sight and he heard a voice in his head.


    [Here we go again.] the system spoke up after a long time.


    ''Oh, howe you are talking? I haven''t heard from you since that fight." You Xi Wang replied to him in surprise.


    [Well, I was busy absorbing the soul energy I siphoned off from that low-life. So, it took some time before I could speak up.] the system informed You Xi Wang about his exploits. After suing that soul spell the system absorbed quite a huge amount of soul energy from Kojo and refining it took some time. In short, the system was updated.


    You Xi Wang listen to it half-mindedly. He was more focused on the architecture inside the building. The pirs were made of carbon fiber. The ceilingprised ss using natural illumination and it also absorbed the heat energy turning it into electricity. There were light panels inside the walls, flying disks tomute inside the building, elevators did not have walls, and were operated by a light panel hung in the air. These things could be seen in You Xi Wang''s old-world too, but here the scale was too big.

 Chapter 73: Boss.

    Chapter 73: Boss.


    You Xi Wang was very impressed with the technological advancement of this world. His sister held his hand and said, "Bro, this is your first timeing to the office. Your cabin has been arranged and your assistant has been appointed. Come, let''s go to your cabin and get on with work."


    You Zhichi led him to his cabin using the elevator. They reached the top floor, stepped out of the elevation tform. A woman and a man stood there waiting for them. The man was wearing a steel gray suit with ck shoes and a ck tie. He had a lean build but was as tall as You Xi Wang. The man had gray hair and a sharp-looking face with sses resting on his nose. His face had some wrinkles around his eyes. Evidently, he was older and had more experience.


    The women had a genial appearance and gave off a gentle vibe. She was wearing a white formal blouse and a ck pencil skirt paired with ck heels. She had her auburn hair tied in a bun. She looked like she was in her twenties, but she was in herte forties.


    You Xi Wang saw them and greeted them with a smile, "Good morning Auntie Ste, Uncle Gerrard." the woman was called Ste and the man was called Gerrard. They were both assistants to You Liangxin and Chen Limao, respectively.


    The pair greeted him in unison, "Good morning, Young master."*2


    Gerrard was a major in marketing and sales, while Ste specialized in management and finance. Chen Limao and You Liangxin both had different departments to overlook. You Zhichi has taken over her mother''s skill for marketing and sales while You Xi Wang had to wear his father''s shoes from now on. You Liangxin and Chen Limao themselves were good at technology development but because they did not trust anyone else they took these jobs upon themselves.


    Ste came forward and said, "Young Master, today is your first day in the office and you are earlier than the work hours. the staff will be very impressed."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "You overpraise me, Auntie Ste, let''s go to my cabin. Please be patient with me as I know little about business and technicalities yet." although he could be said to have some skill in business. He still needed to appear cordial on the surface. The two people were satisfied with his approach.


    You Zhichi patted his shoulder and said, "Have a good first day, Bro. I am now going to get some things done. You learn, okay."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile and left with Ste in tow. Gerrard and You Zhichi left for their offices. On the way to the cabin You Xi Wang spoke, "Auntie Ste, the works hours are 11 to 4. Is this time enough for thepany to develop andpete with others?"


    Ste was surprised by this question and said, "These hours were set by your father, Young master. This can be discussed in the general meeting today."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and they reached the cabin. This cabin was used by his father in the past. You Xi Wang pushed the door, and an integrated lock system scanned his hand and the door opened with a click. This door could only be opened with the owner''s handprint. The cabin was in the rightmost corner of the building and two walls were made of ballistic ss that can be turned dark and transparent ording to the desire. The left wall of the room was directly opposite to the Cabin You Zhichi was in at the moment.


    You Xi Wang turned to the left wall to watch her cabin and found his sister looking at his office too. They both waved simultaneously and then froze. They shook their heads in sync. Ste who noticed this smiled. This was exactly like the times when they would attend office parties. You Xi Wang, then explored the whole cabin. A rectangr table was ced in the center of the room with a transparent screen set over it. The table faced the left wall, which gave him the view of his sister''s office. Behind his table was a mahogany wood bookshelf. Just that the shelf was filled with documents and equipped with aser curtain security system. Not even air could pass through, let alone a hand.


    In case of a power outage, a Lithical iron shutter would drop, closing the exposed front of the safe and closing the safe, and forget about drilling or breaking into the safe through other sides. They were all just covered with mahogany wood insideid, two inches thick lithical iron sheets.


    You Xi Wang sat on the big cushioned chair and said, "This room is just like how dad would like it. Simple and effective."


    Ste nodded on the side and took a chair opposite You Xi Wang as she began introducing him to the core members of thepany and their roles and present situation of thepany. They talked for an hour and it was now time for the staff to clock in. You Xi Wang said, "Auntie Ste, the general meeting will be broadcasted live through the whole edifice and also blockmunications with the outside for that duration of time. I want the staff to know who and what I am, yet I don''t want it to leak out to our rivals."


    Ste nodded since she found nothing wrong with this arrangement. She left to arrange things the way You Xi Wang asked. It was now 11.30 in the morning and You Xi Wang who was reading some documents on theputer on his table heard a knock on his cabin.


    "Come in," he said in a calm manner.


    You Zhichi came in and said, "Let''s go, it''s time for the meeting."


    You Xi Wang nodded and closed the file on hisputer and followed his sister to a floor below where the conference hall was located. The siblings entered the conference hall under the scrutinizing gazes of the executives.The gazes were focused on You Zhichi. She was the elder among these two. So, the executives thought You Xi Wang was just the in-name boss. This was the first big meeting held after their parents passed away. You Zhichi got nervous but her brother was beside her coughed a bit, making all the gazes fall on him.


    He smiled slightly and said, "Have a seat,dies, and gentlemen."


    He pulled the chair for the Vice-chairman. Everybody thought their spection was correct but just when some were satisfied, You Xi Wang called out for his sister. You Zhichi gracefully sat in the chair. You Xi Wang did not take a seat on his chair. He ced his forearm on the headrest of the chair and stood beside it, silently gazing at everyone.


    He said in an unhurried manner, "My name is You Xi Wang and I am the son of You Liangxin. You all know that. But I am nothing like my father." his words shocked the whole staff, even only You Zhichi was unfazed as she knew it from the very beginning that her brother was his own person and not like her father.


    You Xi Wang continued, "I will show due respect and gratitude to those who deserve it. I will admire those who deserve it. I want Tianlong tech to reach the position everyone here dreamed of. I ask for your support. So, I hope you all stay loyal and true to your duties for thepany. Obviously, providing you with rewards for a job well done is my responsibility and I will not shrink back when that moment arrives. All the rules are the same as they were before, harmonizing together and increasing efficiency."


    Executives nodded, they realized that the young man in front of them was anything but nave. The speech continued as You Xi Wang discussed the aims for the future and the changes in the benefits of their hard work. You Xi Wang then said, "My father once said, If you don''t aim to reach the top, don''t aim at all. So, that is my goal. To make thispany a toppany that is known throughout the. I would like to propose a work hour change. The current work hours are from 11 to 4 in the evening. This is too inefficient. If we want to be the first we have to arrive here first too. " he paused a bit before continuing.


    "I propose we work from 9 to 4, the reason is simple. I only ask for two more hours of your time. You will bepensated ordingly. Those who agree please raise your hands." he stopped and allowed people to discuss withing themselves. Five minutes after 85% of people raised their hands.


    You Xi Wang looked at those who did not raise their hands and asked, "May I know, why you oppose this n?" he was not overbearing and not easygoing and acted just like any other boss would do with an employee. An old man then said, "Young Master, some of us are old and it is not easy to get here so early by ourselves, while some have kids at home who are too young to be left alone. This is why we opposed it."


    You Xi Wang pondered for a bit and said, "Thepany will set a daycare area where you can have your kids stay. Maids and sitters will be hired for their care and as for old people, a cab service will be provided to pick up and drop you. Is that okay?"


    The executives exchanged nces and agreed with smiles on their faces, "We agree Boss." the old man who put the opinion forward was the first person acknowledged You Xi Wang as their Boss. You Xi Wang nodded with a smile and finally took a seat in the chairperson chair.

    Chapter 74: Big Moves.


    After You Xi Wang sat down, the meeting continued and more people came up with suggestions to increase work efficiency. The environment became harmonious, and the staff acknowledged that despite being young You Xi Wang was very skilled.


    A young man in a blue shirt and ck trousers raised his hand and said, "Young Master, previously many people haveined that the environment in the office is too constrained. Do you think we can do something about it? You see, many people are young and they feel down in spirits with these conditions."


    You Xi Wang did not know this man and asked, "I apologize, but may I know your name before we begin our conversation. Please, you must have joined recently and I have never seen you."


    The young man smiled and said, "I am Nichs Wenger, in-house employee councilor. Yes, I joined only a month ago."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for bringing this issue to light. I think it is time to give our ce a makeover. I request the staff to be patient. By next week this problem will be solved." he turned to the Ste and said, "Auntie Ste by the evening please get me a final estimate about how much liquid capital we have."


    He stood up from his chair and said, "In terms of experience, everyone here is my senior. So, I have a question for you all. Do you think Tianlong Technologies have a stable foundation?"


    The executives sensed the profound motive behind this question. They all replied positively, one by one. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Then let''s make Tianlong Group sessful too."


    Everyone nodded at first, but after a moment they were all shocked. The whole building suddenly fell silent. This time even You Zhichi was shocked. She looked at her brother and asked, "Bro, did you just say Tianlong Group?"


    Thetter nodded with a smile and said, "You guys, don''t be so shocked. We are not taking on the big wigs right now. We will enter markets such as furniture, musical instruments, and games. The Chen group will be our first ally. These markets may look small, but small elements define the big pictures. So, those who support the motion raise a hand. Of course, after discussion."


    The executives started discussing this motion using the screens in front of them. These screens allowed them to discuss in secrecy without leaving the room. After half an hour, the old man who first rejected You Xi Wang''s proposal of extra working hours stood up.


    He said, "Boss, this Morgan Stoinis, on the behalf of the whole staff, support this motion. We have unanimously decided that we will make the Tianlong group a force to be reckoned with. This was also the wish of the former CEO." after this the whole Tianlong Edifice was filled with huge apuse. The staff members were excited. They have been here for years and the higher-ups treated them all with muchpassion. You Liangxin wanted to make Tianlong Technologies into the Tianlong Group, but he suffered setbacks again and again. This hurdle was The Mirai Group that always made things difficult for them and when You Liangxin died, the staff members thought thepany will end. Unexpectedly, You Zhichi took the lead and stabilized thepany assuring them that things will be better.


    Hope came when they heard about the Lithical Iron motherboard in theputing systems. This hope was like a fire burning in their hearts, which made The Mirai Group suffer a setback in The Council contract. Now, when they heard You Xi Wang bing the boss, their resolves faltered a bit. This kid stated he was not like his father. Their hopes dampened. He took some actions which sounded harsh, but then he also proposed a way they all never thought of. These actions of his earned him the trust of the staff members.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I thank you all. This journey will be tough with no doubts, but we all are cultivators. We live to defy the heavens itself, let alone apany. I have other ns too, which will be implemented the day our Tianlong Group is registered in the council. Let us all be hopeful for our journey to the top."


    The meeting continued and You Xi Wang introduced some other ns too. He introduced a merit system. Every employee team or department willpete on a monthly basis. The best employees will get bonus credits. The employee dress code was now banished allowing them to wear casual attires but if they are meeting a client or it is a formal event they are supposed to attend they will have to wear formals regardless of the designation. Thepany will also support employees for higher education if someone is interested. The promotions will be given based on the points system and not experience or seniority but if any senior designation staff is addressing a junior who is elder in age, then they must be respectful.


    He also introduced the pension system. Thepany will deduct 1% of their ie and deposit in the bank. They will then invest this amount in bank schemes to get interest returns and when some employee thinks they are too old and want to retire they will be given the umted fund as a pension every month in parts till the amount is nil. It was not all good though. Anyone who resigned from thepany will not be hired back at any cost. They will also have to sign a non-disclosure contract and swear a heaven''s oath in front of council officials. If anyone was caught being disloyal and cheating thepany, they will be killed with no hesitation.


    You Xi Wang''s actions were very impactful, but they were all deciding factors for the betterment of thepany. The meeting concluded and everyone left the conference room with excited and expecting expressions. You Xi Wang had issued a warning that if the contents of this meeting leaked out at all. He will find who did this and they will beg him for death. They were all shocked for a moment but rxed, knowing this will only happen when they did something uncouth. They also realized that this was a necessary step to warn some renegades.


    You Xi Wang had lunch in the office canteen as he never liked to eat alone. His sister apanied him and they were greeted by every employee in the canteen. You Xi Wang approached a group of software developers and talked to them about the game. They all were very interested and volunteered to take part in it. After lunch, You Xi Wang parted from his sister and went to the Research and Development wing to meet the two most skilled people in thepany. The two people were Minerva Sh and her husband Matthew Sh, this couple was responsible for the trademark product of thepany the stag OS.


    Stag OS was one of the most interactive and easy-to-use OS in the market of Metropia when it came out, but after a few days, Mirai Groupunched Future 5 OS making thepany go back to zero. The advancement of Metropia was so fast that new product ideas were scarce.


    You Xi Wang knocked on the door of the R&D department. He heard a small st from inside the room. He entered and couldn''t help but shake his head and said, "Auntie Min, Uncle Matt, long time no see."

 Chapter 75: Minerva and Matthew.

    Chapter 75: Minerva and Matthew.


    You Xi Wang entered the R&Db with a smile on his face. There were only two chief executives who did not attend the meeting, they were Minerva and Matthew Sh, Chief Researcher, and Chief Developer of thepany, respectively.


    They both turned to see the boy who just entered theb. Minerva was a woman of grace and elegance. She had long electric blue hair reaching her waist, a narrow chin, and a well-proportioned forehead, almond eyes sharing the same color as her hair. Her slender lips added to her charm. She was a work of art. She was wearing ck trousers with ck high heels, a turquoise blue blouse, and a whiteb coat.


    Beside her in front of a table sat a man who seemed toment on something, he had blue-ck hair in a crew cut style a pair of sses sat on his sharp nose, his blue eyes were a shade darker than his wife''s, wide jaw-line made him look a strong man. He was wearing an olive green shirt and golden brown trousers paired with ck leather shoes and a ck belt on his waist. He also donned ab coat.


    Minerva looked towards You Xi Wang and let out a smile and her gaze turned soft as she teased, "Boss Xi Wang is here to inspect our work on the first day?"


    You Xi Wangughed and said, "How dare I inspect my aunt Min?"


    They bothughed and Minerva moved on to give him a warm hug. After separating she said, "I heard what you guys went through in the woods. Xiao Wang, thank you for saving my Fenny."


    "Oh, please, if big momma got a wind of me epting thank you from you, this baby Wang will lose his skin." his words triggered another round ofughter among the two while Matthew only smiled.


    Matthew was an introvert, while Minerva was his exact opposite. Now you can understand from where Fenny gained her personality. Minerva and You Xi Wang camp towards the table. You Xi Wang saw some parts were scattered over and a burned-out smell was lingering in the air.


    He asked, "What happened here?"


    Matthew replied, "We were experimenting on a new idea we came up for making the Holo-phone more advanced but it didn''t work. Anyway, what brings you in theb, Xiao Wang?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Two things. First, we stop focusing on the mainstream ideas and products for a bit, leave it for the juniors, because the whole of Metropia is chasing mainstream. Second, I want you to design a piece of equipment that can let humans use a virtual world when they sleep."


    Minerva and her husband were dumbstruck by this idea. They exchanged a nce and Minerva nodded towards Matthew as he replied, "Xiao Wang, you might not be aware, but the Council of Metropia said that human brains need time to repair or it might affect them negatively. Even if we develop something like you said, they will never approve of it."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "These people are so damn focused on cultivation that they forget a simple fact that we are nothing but mortals before we ascend. There is a difference between normal human brain functions and cultivation activities."


    He paused and continued, "As you and all the scientists and biologists of the world are aware before humans cultivate. They all use basic energy produced by consuming food. This energy is not very good in healing and repairing the body in a short duration. This is also the reason people use special elixirs to strengthen themselves before they start cultivation."


    "Now cultivators use spiritual essence, which is a thousand times more efficient than the usual energy produced by the human body. Now that the difference is clear, let me state the purpose of sleep. The human body needs sleep to heal the neuralwork of our brain. Just like every circuit, the neural human brain also has a limit of usage. Now if we design a piece of equipment that can be helpful with this matter, wouldn''t it be groundbreaking? Also, if people can use a virtualwork during the process. I guess you can specte the impact."


    The couple was looking at him with wide eyes. Minerva lifted her hands and held his face in her palms. She said, "You are really the maestro. Xiao Wang, you are a genius." her eyes were filled with glee. She pecked his forehead and left theb, "I am going to research on this right away." were the words left behind by her.


    Matthew shook his head with a smile on his face. He looked toward You Xi Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, this idea of yours is really ingenious. We will leave a mark on civilization if this works. But what about the virtual space? I understand that it can be created by a software developer, but the level of programming needed will be very high. We don''t have that high-level technician in thepany right."


    You Xi Wang said, "We have machines in the world that are used to scan human physique in hospitals. If we can use those machines to upload the data to create a virtual avatar. Then we code our machine to interpret the signals sent by our brain to operate that virtual avatar the same way we use our bodies. It can work. Things such as pain and touch can be programmed and then converted into signals to transmit to our brain, creating a virtual world. This process is attainable if we have allies."


    Matthew was listening to his exnation keenly. The more he thought, the more he was fascinated. He smiled and said, "It sounds usible with the current technology we can use it. But where will we find such skilled people?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Pro-Code private limited."


    Matthew felt his body free and said, "Xiao Wang, you mean, that stereo-typical old punk? he will never help us."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and replied, "He will have to, ording to the word in the market hispany is on the verge of closing. Not because of funds, but because ''Code-win'' poached half of their people. They now cannot gain new clients, and the old projects are also almost done. So, which employee will stay there to work? That old man might not want to change his ways, but if he wants to save hispany, he will have to change. People who love their faces more than their lives will do stuff they never imagined."


    Matthew shook his head and said, "That old man is going to regret it this time. You are a natural businessman, Xiao Wang."


    After a small talk, You Xi Wang left Matthew to delegate the work on juniors and set-up a group of people for the new project. He headed towards his own cabin on the top floor. On the way he was greeted by every employee he came across, they were all thrilled and expressed their satisfaction when You Xi Wang asked them about the changes he made.


    Metropia had a pension system, but the number of credits dispensed by the council was limited. So, when they all found out a source of extra security from thepany, they were all thrilled. He came inside his cabin and sat heavily on the chair, and he exhaled deeply. He was waiting for his assistant Ste toe over with the financial report.


    He stood up and came to stand beside the window facing the garden. Gazing outside he thought, ''Despite being so advanced this world has a lot of ws.''


    [Master, nothing in this world is perfect] system replied.


    ''I know, constant improvement is the only perfection. This world may look very good, but it is very limited. This limit holds this world from growth." You Xi Wangmented.


    [So, what do you aim for master?] system questioned.


    ''Breaking this limit sounds good for an instance. Don''t you agree?'' he spoke with indifference.


    [*sob* *sob*...] system issued some sobbing voices.


    You Xi Wang was shocked, and he asked, ''What happened? Hey, system, are you okay?''


    [Master, *sob* you have grown so much in such a short time. You have be so good at pretending to be an elite. I *sob* FEEL *sob* SO ASHAMED. OH GOD ALMIGHTY PLEASE ERASE ME IF YOU EXIST.] the system used his acidic tongue.


    You Xi Wang stumbled, and he almost coughed blood from anger. After that, he rained curses on the system, who replied in kind. Ste knocked on the door and the cursing ceased. You Xi Wang took a deep breath and said, "Come in."


    Ste entered and handed You Xi Wang a ss screen, "This is the report on everything we have in savings, Boss."


    You Xi Wang busied himself in analyzing the report in his hands. You Zhichi came to call him to head home in the evening, but he told her. He will stayte because he had a lot of work to do. She tried to convince him but left helplessly.

 Chapter 76: Over Night Acquisitions.

    Chapter 76: Over Night Acquisitions.


    You Xi Wang stayed in his office going through the reports. The sun was already setting when he was done with it. He heaved a sigh and used the screen embedded in his worktable and called Ste to his cabin. He leaned back in the chair, giving himself some mary rest. The door was knocked, and he said, "Come in."


    Ste entered the cabin and stood facing You Xi Wang, who was sitting in ax manner. She smiled and said, "Boss, don''t overwork yourself."


    You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile and gestured her to take a sit. Stell settled in a chair opposite him and waited for him to speak.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "At this moment ourpany holds 78 million credits in funds which can be mobilized at any moment, while another 5 million worth is in the form of buildings and vehicles."


    Ste nodded, while You Xi Wang continued, "Last year we were rising till the first quarter, after that our profits took a dip leaving us barely anything. So, till now, our input is equal to our output. This won''t be good enough as a foundation."


    Ste said, "Boss, we have never seen a loss since thepany started. Is that not good enough as a foundation?"


    You Xi Wang stood up and kept shaking his head as he said, "No losses do not make you profitable Aunt Ste, we only grow when we show some improvement. This stagnation is because people in thispany suffering from tunnel-vision. Too focused on what everyone else is doing. If you don''t make your way, you will be stuck in this rat race forever."


    Ste, who kept her gaze locked on the boy walking back and forth, felt astonished. This way of thinking was exactly the problem of thispany. The development hase to a point where they don''t see the need to improve. She asked, "Then what do we do about it, Boss."


    You Xi Wang smirked and said, "Acquire threepanies, first a leather works factory, second a woodworks factory and for the third one arrange a meeting with the boss and management of ''PRO-CODE'' even if it is an hourter."


    Ste was shocked, "Boss, the first two are still understandable as you described the product idea in the morning, but why are we meeting with the people from PRO-CODE?"


    "You will know soon. Just get it done." You Xi Wang spoke with a dazzling smile.


    Ste nodded and stood up to leave the Cabin when she heard You Xi Wang calling her. She turned, and he said, "I would assign Mr. Morgan Stoinis to work with you on this. Also, I apologize to make you guys work tillte."


    Ste nodded with smiled and said, "It''s fine. We can use some work." and left the cabin.


    You Xi Wang used the table again and called in the Chief Negotiator and market analyst, Morgan Stoinis, to his cabin. Thetter soon came in and saw You Xi Wang strolling in his office in a leisurely manner.


    He smiled and asked, "Do you have something for me? Boss."


    You Xi Wang asked him to take a seat and said, "Mr. Stoinis, I need you to work together with Ste and prepare the groundwork to acquire some factories. I don''t mind if they are small, but I want them to be good at what they do. They can keep their name and they can also manage the factories, but they will work for us. Buy them out and pay them to work for us. Also, prepare a negotiation pitch with PRO-CODE. I want that Oldman to work for us too. It is time he pays his dues."


    Morgan Stoinis was stunned, but he quickly gained hisposure back and asked, "Boss, it will be done in two days."


    You Xi Wang replied, "I need it all wrapped up by midnight. You can take off tomorrow when it is done."


    Morgan again asked, "Boss, but what is the rush?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Those on the top of the stairway will create difficulties if they got a wind of it."


    Morgan Stoinis was a clever and experienced man. He quickly understood that You Xi Wang wanted to get this all done before the news leaks out to The Mirai Group. He nodded and left the cabin after he assured You Xi Wang to see this task finished by the morning at thetest.


    You Xi Wang assigned Gerrard to keep these things under a wrap. He wanted to y safe until it was all settled and they reap the profits. He stood by the window gazing outside while lost in thought. Three hours passed since he assigned them to this work. He only came back from his deep thoughts when he heard a knock on the door.


    He replied, "Come in." The door opened and a white shadow shed and jump in his embrace. He caught the furred creature in his arms and smile. Maya let out cheerful sounds as she rubbed her head on his chest. Your Xi Wang stroked her furred gently. He gazed towards the door and saw a little girl wearing blue jeans and a white shirt pairing it with white bellies enter the room carrying a box.


    You Xi Wang approached her after putting Maya on the table. He took the box from her with a smile and put it on the table. He crouched in front of the girl and said, "How did my little fairy arrive here?"


    This girl was none other than Celestia, who smiled brightly and said, "Big sis Susan wanted to bring you dinner. So we came with her. Uncle Robert drove us in the mag-lev."


    You Xi Wang rubbed her forehead with a smile, "Thank you."


    Celestia pouted, "I don''t want to thank you. I want a hug just like you gave one to Maya. Also, Big sis Zhichi helped Celes buy clothes like you, hehe..." her adorable gestures were enough to make You Xi Wang feel rxed, washing up all his fatigue.


    You Xi Wangughed and picked her up in his arms. Susan walked into the room wearing a grass green blouse and ck wide-leg pants. Her heels make a knocking sound as she walked. She smiled when she saw You Xi Wang and Celestia having fun.


    He mouthed thank you after he saw her while she just shook her head. He put Celestia down and embraced Susan for a bit. Celestia walked around the room and looking at theser curtain shelf wanted to touch it when You Xi Wang said, "Celes, that is dangerous."


    She stopped and stuck out her tongue at him. They all had a meal and Ste called informing him that the meeting is arranged. They will have to arrive at PRO-CODE''s office in an hour.


    You Xi Wang sessfully sent Celestia back home but not before he promised to take her out on a holiday. Susan was reluctant, but she understood that his work was important. Maya used a sure kill technique and stayed by his side, the puppy eyes. After the two of them left You Xi Wang left to attend the meeting with Ste and Morgan Stoinis, while Gerrard and some juniors were tasked to sign the deal with two otherpanies.

 Chapter 77: Shark Night.

    Chapter 77: Shark Night.


    You Xi Wang and his group were headed towards Pro-Code Headquarters. Morgan Stoinis was sitting in the back with You Xi Wang and Ste was riding shotgun while Clive drove the car. Clive was a cab driver and was hired by You Liangxin when boarded his cab and liked Clive''s temperament. Morgan Stoinis fetched You Xi Wang with a file summarizing the condition of the saidpany. You Xi Wang glimpsed through the file in silence. It will take them half an hour to reach their destination. When he was done, he spoke with a soft smile.


    "In the meeting, no matter how rashly old man Shark behaves, you all are not to retort at all." his words made Ste feel confused. Others were, all the same. They were all aware of the rtions between their twopanies and the past incidents of You Liangxin being humiliated by the owner of Pro-Code. They could not understand why You Xi Wang did not want to defend himself.


    Two mag-levs of TianLong Technologies were moving through the traffic at fast speeds. Soon they reached in front of a building, which was covered in ss on the outside, looking like a fragile piece of art. On top of the building, a sign made up by lights said, PRO-CODE.


    You Xi Wang got down from his vehicle with Ste on his right and Morgan Stoinis on his left. He took a deep breath and walked up to the entrance. His strides were calm and his eyes were calm. Ste and Morgan exchanged a nce. They nodded to each other and followed You Xi Wang to enter the building. They approved of his attitude. The juniors followed inside.


    You Xi Wang stopped in front of the security guards to let them perform a check on him and then entered thepany. He was greeted with a deste reception area. He looked towards Ste, who went over to the reception table and asked thedy sitting there in boredom, "Excuse me, can you tell your CEO, Mr. Robin Fisher, that CEO of TianLong Tech is here for the meeting?"


    The woman sat up straight when she heard her voice. She used the device and made a call inside, and the reply she got made her give Ste a wry smile.


    She said, "Madam, they ask you to wait in the lobby."


    Ste was enraged as she knew that the CEO of thispany was deliberately making it hard for them. She wanted tosh out at the receptionist but she knew it was not her fault so just kept it inside. Ste nodded and turned towards the group and whispered something in You Xi Wang''s ear. Thetter chuckled and led everyone towards the lobby.


    They took seats on the couch and waited in silence. You Xi Wang closed his eyes and started meditation. He entered a deep state when Ste woke him up.


    "Boss, it is time to go. They have called us inside," she said in a soft voice.


    He used nodded and stood up to follow them, he observed his watch/Holo-phone. It has been an hour since they came here. He was amused by the behavior of this Oldman Shark. They all entered the elevator to go to the top floor for the meeting. They were greeted by a forty-something looking man in a navy blue shirt and steel grey trousers.


    He came forward, extended his hand towards Morgan, and said, "Wee, I am Kreiser Finch, General Manager in this office. Apologies for the wait."


    Morgan shook his hand and said, "I am Morgan Stoinis, an executive for Tianlong Tech. We understand, shall we go now? It is alreadyte."


    Kreiser Finch nodded and led them to the conference room. He noticed when he saw You Xi Wang among the people but ignored him thinking he was out for a field trip with his grandfather. He entered the conference room and gestured Morgan Stoinis to the chair for the representative head of the visiting group.


    Morgan turned to You Xi Wang, and thetter was busy scanning the people from Pro-Code''s side. He did not find the man he was looking for but saw a pretty girl as old as his sister sitting to the left of the CEO. He looked at her and said, "Miss, may I know where is your grandfather, Mr. Robin Fisher?"


    His question made a blonde-haired man sitting on the right of the CEO frown as he said, "Does Tianlong Tech think of our office as a field trip for teens? Who let this kid in?" his voice was calm.


    Ste stepped forward and said, "Mr. Carl Herald, allow me to make the introductions. This is Mr. You Xi Wang, CEO of Tianlong Technologies" then she turned to face You Xi Wang and respectfully said, "Boss, this is the Chief Programmer of Pro-Code, Mr. Carl Herald." her words shocked the whole room. Ste carried on to make introductions. Just when she was about to tell him the identity of the pretty girl.


    The girl stood up and in a soft voice said, "Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Petra Fisher, Managing Director of Pro-Code and as you have already guessed, granddaughter of Mr. Robin Fisher."


    You Xi Wang nodded with an amiable small smile. Just when he was about to repeat his question and old voice called him out, "You are that brat, Liangxin''s son?"


    You Xi Wang turned and nodded to the grey-haired old man who just walked into the room. He was wearing a gray shirt and a pair of jeans, matched with the gray sneakers. He went around the table and sat down on his chair.


    He did not wait for any opening pitches from You Xi Wang and said, "I thought someone capable would have taken over the lead in yourpany but turns out it was just you, a brat wet behind his ears."


    You Xi Wang only smiled and sat down on the chair opposite the old man without breaking eye contact. He waited for him to continue.


    The old man continued, "Your father was really ipetent. I don''t understand why will he not pursue his career as a tech developer but be a businessman. Do you know why I disliked him that much? It was because he was too optimistic, too proud. If he would work for me. He might still be alive. But not only did he reject my offer, but he also had to start his ownpany andpete against us. What a pity, such a good engineer with such a trash attitude."


    He took a deep breath and continued, "They say like father, like son. You must have inherited his attitude, right? Your mother looked was the reason behind all this. I despise that witch. She enchanted Liangxin into giving up his skills. Humph and to think Liangxin gave up all his potential for a wealthy woman. Trashy couple. Anyway, I have a proposition to make. How about you merge yourpany with mine, you take 49 while I take 51% share?"


    The room fell silent nobody from Tianlong expected this old man to speak like this, You Xi Wang stood up and suddenly let out a smile.

 Chapter 78: Done and Dusted.

    Chapter 78: Done and Dusted.


    The crowd inside the conference hall had a perplexed expression when You Xi Wang stood up with a smile on his face.


    You Xi Wang had his gaze fixed on Robin Fisher''s face, and he spoke, "You are just as my father said a disappointment. Say Oldman Shark, did you suffer some trauma in your youth, or were you like this from the start. I wonder how your parents felt after they got to know your nature. A false pretense through and through"


    Everyone was dumbfounded, Robin Fisher himself was no exception. He never in his wildest imagination thought a teenager calling him Shark and questioning his way of existence. He was livid, he released the pressure of the top-level spiritual formation cultivator but, You Xi Wang waved his hand and the pressure dispelled.


    Robert stood up with his brows shaking in anger, he yelled, "BRAT, YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOUR SENIORS. GET OUT BEFORE I TEAR YOU TO PIECES."


    You Xi Wang only sneered and said, "Oldman Shark, do you have any respect for the deceased? Do you have any manners? Despite standing in your grave till your waist, you talk to your juniors in such an abusivenguage? After all that you expect the other party to be respectful to you? Shameless old man, who do you think you are? And you said you will tear me to pieces?" he let out a low whistle.


    Maya appeared on Oldman Shark''s shoulder and bit into his flesh. Oldman Shark had no chance of defending himself. On his sides, Petra and Carl wanted to make a move on the beast but when they saw Maya gnawing on Robin''s shoulder so hard they hesitated. You Xi Wang let out another whistle and Maya vanished for a bit before reappearing on You Xi Wang''s shoulder.


    "BRAT, I WILL GO TO THE COUNCIL. HOW DARE YOU USE A BEAST TO ATTACK ME." Shark bellowed while holding his shoulder.


    You Xi Wang only chuckled and said, "Oldman are you sure about that?"


    Robin frowned and before he could say anything, he realized that his shoulder was not hurting anymore. He checked to see where the wound was but found nothing. He was confused, he heard a mocking voice, "Too old to differentiate the reality from the illusion old man. That was how you were in the past and this is how you are when old. Do you think I am afraid of The Council? A lot of people die in disputes. I am of a lower cultivation base than you. Calling it self defense will suffice."


    "BRAT, EVEN YOUR FATHER WASN''T THIS BRAZEN." Robin Fisher(Oldman Shark) bellowed.


    You Xi Wang startedughing as he moved, in a blink, he was in front of him, his arm rested on his shoulder, the wind around them was sharp. The former spoke, "If not because of the value my parents upheld. Let alone me, my whole family would have erased you and your people from existence on the very day you insulted them."


    Watching that Robin Fisher was suffocating, Carl Herald shouted, "You Xi Wang, how dare you? You can forget about doing any business with ourpany now. Get out or I will call the enforcers from The Council." he pressed an SOS button on the table alerting the security guards in the edifice.


    The guards rushed and came in the door very quickly. You Xi Wang removed his hand from Robin Fisher''s shoulder and the wind calmed down. He looked at Carl Herald and said, "At first, I wanted to acquire thispany and leave you guy for the management. I will still achieve the goal to acquire thispany but it will be hostile."


    He walked towards his team of executives and, "Miss Petra, you should be very well aware of the state yourpany is in. Your Grandfather is a narrow-minded person and he would rather let all the employees of thepany go jobless and close down than work for Tianlong Tech or any other firm. This guy liked The Mirai Group, huh, that piece of filth disciple of his is now a worm sticking on to Edward Colt''s ass along with a significant number of your staff. I hope you still see the bigger picture. The offer is on the table by the time we are out of this building."


    After this, he left without once turning back. Ste gave a disdainful look to Robin Fisher and followed, only Morgan Stoinis and his secretary stood by. Robin Fisher scowled, "Why are you standing there? Get lost and babysit that kid, Morgan."


    They were both old people and obviously knew each other. Morgan Stoinis shook his head and spoke, "Why did you have to call out his parents Oldman. If you don''t respect anyone why would they respect you? I only stayed back because I wanted to show your granddaughter and your chief programmer Carl a manifest about the policies my boss implemented in Tianlong Technologies the day he took charge, which happens to be today as well."


    He gestured to his secretary who passed the two people to paper-thin ss screens. The two people hesitated but then still skimmed through the content on the screen. They exchanged a look and found each other surprised. Petra took the lead and said, "Mr. Morgan, we ept your proposal."


    Robin Fisher who was rubbing his sore shoulder stopped and looked at his granddaughter. He called her out, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING PETRA?"


    Petra looked at him and said, "Grandpa, first you look at what they did, and then you act this way."


    She passed him the screen, Oldman Shark gritted his teeth and took it. After looking through this he could not point out one thing which would be wrong. Morgan Stoinis knew what he was looking for and said, "You won''t find anything wrong. Our boss made all these policies in the general meeting with the votes and support of the wholepany. When I say the wholepany, I mean all the staff members, from executives to ground workers. Now, what is your answer, mind you, not much time is left before Boss takes action. Believe me, he will do what he said."


    Robin Fisher exhaled heavily and said, "Fine, we agree."


    Morgan used his Holo-phone and called You Xi Wang who was just about to take a step out of the building entrance, he said as soon as the call connected, "Boss, they agreed. We can talk further about the acquisition."


    You Xi Wang replied, "You can talk about the process on your own. You are aware of the terms and conditions, I will send Ste back. Also, add one more term. That Oldman goldfish will not have any decision making authority in thepany all his rights will be transferred to his granddaughter. I don''t want that wrinkled soggy ball sack interfering our progress by his shit-filled brain"


    You Xi Wang''s words were heard by everyone because Morgan has intentionally set the call on speaker, Robin Fisher almost puked out blood out of anger. Petra, on the other hand, had her eyes lit up. She was now very curious about getting to know more about You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang sent Ste back to see through the transition and sat inside his vehicle with Maya sitting in hisp. Just as he was about to enter meditation, his Holo-phone vibrated. It was Gerrard who called him. He picked it up and allowed Gerrard to speak.


    "Young Master the deal is done and the process isplete. Both the owners are happy to work under us. We now own, Sarangi Music Instruments and Chikara Woodworks. They both will be meeting you in your office tomorrow. Is there anything else for me to do, Boss?"


    You Xi Wang spoke as he kept stroking Maya''s back, "Good job, Uncle Gerrard it has been hard on you. Tell your juniors toplete the process of registration and licensing with the Council first thing in the morning. Also, ask one of them to prepare a report about these two people. I need it to be through and on my table in the morning. They will be paid overtime. That is all for now."


    Gerrard replied in affirmation and wanted to ask something but hesitated, You Xi Wang guessed his hesitation and said, "Don''t worry, the goldfish is now in a pot."


    Gerrard took a couple of moments toprehend what You Xi Wang meant and he was surprised by this new, he congratted him and disconnected the call to get his job done. You Xi Wang went into meditation, what he did not knew was awaiting him the next morning was not only some official work but also a new moniker for his deeds tonight.


    After disconnecting his call, Gerrard first called You Zhichi informing her about the wonderful task aplished by her brother in one night. He also instructed his subordinates and obviously shared the news with them as he was feeling ecstatic about You Xi Wang thrashing Robin Fisher.


    Morgan and Ste exited the building with a big wide grin on their faces, while Carl Herald followed them to the vehicle. After exchanging a small talk about a prosperous work term, You Xi Wang left straight for home as he felt exhausted. He just wanted to sleep.

 Chapter 79: Going Back To School.

    Chapter 79: Going Back To School.


    The moment You Xi Wang got home, he went straight to his room. He found Emily waiting for him there. She was wearing ck pajamas. She looked were enticing in the silky engrossing fabric highlighted her figure to the outmost. She stood up from the chair she upied in the room and came up to You Xi Wang.


    She spoke with a slight blush on her face, "Young Master, the bath is ready. Also, sister Susan will stay in the hospital for the night."


    You Xi Wang kept his eyes locked, his gaze on her face, and said, "Okay." he ran to the bathroom to avoid losing control and do something inappropriate with Emily. He shook his head and took off his clothes. He sat down in the tub and rxed. He did not know when but he fell asleep, Emily entered the bathroom after he did note out after half an hour.


    She had a faint blush on her cheeks when she saw his sculpted physique lying inside the water. She bit her lower lip and extended a finger to touch him. But before she could touch him, You Xi Wang woke and abruptly stood up, ready for battle. Emily who was still on her knees felt her mind go nk after witnessing the goldenrod hanging between his legs. She let out a wail and ran out of the washroom with her eyes covered and face blushing like a tomato.


    You Xi Wang came to his senses and hastily covered himself. He wanted to exin things at first, then he let things be and rity in the morning. He went out and picked up Maya. He ced her on the bed andid down. Maya snuggled close to him and he slowly drifted into a deep sleep.


    When he woke up in the morning, he found his sister sitting by his bedside. He smiled and sat up, slowly leaned his head on her shoulder as she patted his back with a gentle smile on her face.


    After a few moments, she said, "Good job, getting Pro-Code. I heard about it from Gerrard."


    You Xi Wang only hummed in response. He was feeling at peace with his head leaned on her shoulder. You Zhichi spoke again, "Also, Emily is standing outside. Did something happen?"


    You Xi Wang rubbed his face against her shoulder and sat up, raising his head from her shoulder and said, "I will deal with that. It is not a quarrel, big sis. Don''t worry."


    You Zhichi nodded and reached out to sort her brother''s morning hair gently. She wanted to say something but You Xi Wang''s Holo-phone started ringing and it was from his school. He picked it up and after a few minutes, he disconnected the call.


    He looked at his sister and said, "Sis, I need to head to school, we have to register for the assessment. Can you and granny Xin take care of the merging process? Ask grandpa and others too, okay?"


    You Zhichi only smiled and said okay to him. After some more chatting, she stood up and left the room. On the way, she sent Emily inside because You Xi Wang wanted to talk to her. She left Emily with a teasing look. Thetter entered the room and was held by You Xi Wang in his arms. He kissed her and after breaking up the kiss he said, "I am really sorry. I did not mean to startle you at all, what happened thest night was my instinct. During my training camp, I developed this habit of sleeping half-consciously. So when you entered the bath and tried to touch me, I just stood up thinking it was an enemy and the scene urred. I am really sorry to have done that."


    Emily shook her head, "You don''t have to exin anything to me, Xi Wang. I should have knocked on the door first. I ran away because I was startled and it was my first time seeing a man without clothes. I did not know how to face you. So I just stood outside trying toe up with an exnation. I thought you would be angry with me for running away like that."


    You Xi Wang hugged her and said, "How about we redo the scene, and this time I just drag you inside the tub." his tone was so tempting that Emily nearly gave in. Just when she was about to give in, the door was knocked and they both broke the hug in a hurry. Susan entered the room. She watched the two of them acting weird and chuckled, "My dear Emily, you know that there is nothing wrong in you hugging or kissing our lovely Xi Wang in front of me right?"


    Emily''s face turned red, and she pouted, "Big sis Susan, you are always teasing me and Yuki."


    Thetter only giggled, Emily''s Holo-phone ringed. She was called in for work. She left after kissing You Xi Wang and sticking her tongue to Susan. You Xi Wang hugged Susan after they were alone. He scrunched his nose and said, "You smell like a hospital. That is rare. What were you doing?"


    Susan smiled and said, "There was an ident on the fast track, so we were terminalst night. That is why the smell."


    You Xi Wang gave her a sly smile, "How about we wash off that smell?"


    Susan licked her lower lip slowly, "I thought you would never ask." she replied withoutgging in her tease.


    You Xi Wang picked her up and took her to the washroom. They both kissed and groped each other, but that was it. You Xi Wang needed to go to school while Susan was too tired to continue. Otherwise You Xi Wang may have lost his V-Card. He came out of the washroom after putting much effort into not consuming the beauty in front of him. He dressed up and whistled to Maya, who jumped onto his shoulder.


    He left the room and grabbed a quick bite in the hall. On the way, he was greeted by everyone with much reverence. He called Robert to drive him to school. On the way, he called Ste and asked her to help his sister in the meeting as he was upied with school stuff. Metropia imposed on no leaves from school until the cause is very reasonable or important. A school student dealing with the business was absurd in this world, too.


    You Xi Wang rushed to school. He was a first-year student at Silica City Academy. The school building was constructed from White marble and titanium webbing inside it. The entrance of the school was a thirty feet tall gate. You Xi Wang found that this building somehow resembled the forbidden city in his past life. The central pagoda or building was where the administrative block was located and surrounding this building were sses separated by the years. Outer buildings were first-year sses, the years and floors increased as one proceeded to the center.


    The second-year sses had two floors, third-year sses had three floors, and so did the fourth year sses had four floors. The administrator building had six floors. The whole construct was in a square form. Every year was given their own field and respective facilities. You Xi Wang was headed towards his ss in the first circle. His ss was on the eastern face of the building.


    You Xi Wang walked through the corridor and came to a halt in front of a door that had ss 1A written on it. He hesitated, and the system said, [Go boy, get it done. This is just school. Ball up, you pussy.]


    You Xi Wang opened the door and entered the room while cursing the system. He saw his teammates sitting in their seats, and the whole ss was looking at him. He smiled and headed towards his seat. The whole ss called out in sync, "Wee back, Maestro Wang."


    You Xi Wang was confused at first, then his inherited memories kicked in. He found out he had a good rtionship with almost everyone in the ss. Except for the She guy he dealt with earlier. Though She Congming''sckeys were still hesitant about greeting him, they all gave in after the whole ss of sixty students nagged and scolded him.


    Yuki came over and hugged him. She even kissed his cheek in front of the ss. This act started a chain of hoots and whistles.


    {Beauty Yuki is now taken? Fuck you, Maestro Wang, you are too good.}


    {Maestro Wang, you better take care, you are now public enemy for hogging the beauty}


    {Yuki, you better look after him or we will snatch him.}


    {I will not give up on making him mine, Yuki just you wait}


    The guys and girls all passed on variousments, turning the mood friendly. While You Xi Wang felt bashful, Yuki had a smug look on her face. Fenny stood up and said, "Enough now, all you bitches and dogs in the heat. We are in the ssroom. Tighten your belts or I might let ants lose on your wet genitals. Fucking horses, all of you."


    Fenny was the ss rep, and her acid tongue always worked in silencing the fish market. The ss turned quiet and Fenny nodded after that she looked at Yuki and You Xi Wang, she spoke in a soft voice, "You two really like to unt, eh? Mamma Fenny will make you unt this love when you need a sniper. You horny little chickens can''t wait to screw each other. Just you see how big momma will teach you a lesson."


    They both felt a chill down their spine when they heard this. They quickly moved to their seats and sat down like they didn''t know each other at all.


    The bell ringed and the ss door opened. A blonde woman entered the room with a tab in her hand.

 Chapter 80: Unexpected Bet.

    Chapter 80: Unexpected Bet.


    The door opened and a well proportionate figure d in a fennel skirt and a white satin blouse entered the ssroom; she was wearing t sole gypsy sandals. Her blonde hair was tied neatly in a ponytail which was swaying with every step she took. She had a round shape, slender eyebrows curving downwards forming a perfect arc, big sparkly eyes, tender lips, the cherry on the top was the cute small nose. She was a beauty without a doubt.


    This woman was Maddison Midnight, the teacher responsible for ss A, and she taught battle formations. She achieved all this with her own hard work and belonged to a rather normal family. Her family was not from Silica City, but she came here to work and earn better so she could provide her family with a better standard of living. She looked perfect, her mind was sharp, her heart was pure yet there was only one w which acted as a repellent in her love life, her clumsiness. She could kill beasts without batting an eye as she was in core formation-level, but she would trip on pebbles.


    She was about to step on the podium but she slipped and fell down. All the students shook their heads. A girl quickly got up and said, "Teacher Midnight, why do you never ask us students to help you with this? See, the knee is scrapped again." she helped thedy get to her chair and cast a spiritual energy spell and healed the scrap wound on her knee.


    "Thank you, ire." the injured teacher thanked her student ire after she was done casting the spell. ire only shook her head, showing that it was unnecessary, and left to take her seat. Midnight sorted her clothes and stood up. She gazed across the ssroom and her eyes stopped at You Xi Wang. She spoke, "You Xi Wang, I am very sorry about what happened to your parents. You have my condolences and if you need any help, please tell me."


    You Xi Wang stood up and said, "Thank you for the concern." after that, he sat back down in his chair.


    Teacher Midnight continued after nodding her head, "You all are aware of the assessmenting over in a couple of days. So just like you have done in the past assessments, take a strength test and then go register your team. This time, however, there will be apetition with other city academies in the solo category."


    Her words started a sequence of whispers and some even looked for the details in other academies. Midnight snapped her fingers and the whole ss descended into silence. An raised his hand to ask a question. The teacher nodded, and the student asked, "Teacher, may I ask which teams wille here? Also, is this Solo category free for all or will there be an internal selection?"


    "Good Question, An, and to answer this. You will all be shortlisted to represent the academy based on your score in the team assessment." Midnight replied to An with praise. Just then, another hand raised, this guy was called Alester Brown.


    He asked, "Ma''am, will there be rewards?"


    Midnight nodded and said, "There will be rewards, but it will depend on your performance. As for what they are? I am not aware."


    The ss started making spections regarding rewards. Midnight again snapped her fingers, and they all fell silent. Despite being clumsy, Maddison Midnight had her own charm and dominance in the ss which was undisputable.


    She asked all the students to go to the strength test field to get their skills noted and then get registered. Fenny was thest in the queue to leave as she held onto one hand of midnight to escort her to the strength testing field.


    The strength testing field was actually a big room with some equipment inside. This room was as big as two basketball courts lined up together. Overall rank was decided after average marks in three different categories. Despite being in the same realm, strength was a variable factor. Element one was good at influencing this a lot. For example, earth element was stronger than wind, while the wind was faster than earth.


    The three categories were;


    Brute strength. That was calcted using the force pole. The poleprised high integrity carbon fiber and titanium webbing wrapped together to form the shell containing some micro-sensors and a lithical iron pir. When the examinee punched or kicked the pole, the sensors will calcte the power exerted and then disy the result.


    Speed. Along the walls of the room was an area designated for the examinees to run their best. This area was a two-meter wide strip, simr to the tracknes in stadiums on earth. The turf of thisneprised st-chrome, a rubbery substance produced by a nt called Chrombber. This nt had a shiny surface like a chrome painted grill and secretes juices when cut, which is called rubber. This substance was said to be fireproof, waterproof, and once it cools down after being heated, it is uncuttable too. So, no issues regarding durability. Just like the pole, thisne also had sensors fitted inside for evaluation.


    Weapon prowess. This was a test where the examinee is asked to used weapons and disy some of their skills on a dummy, the destruction of their skills was counted as the criteria of marking. The examinee should be capable of at least using two weapons.


    These tests were called Power Pole, Speed Lane, and Weapons Master.


    Maddison Midnight was about to start the test for her ss when another ss entered the room, turning the whole atmosphere rowdy with their indiscipline behavior. This was ss D of the first year. Even though the students looked like delinquents, they also had some powerhouses amongst them.


    Midnight frowned because she hated indiscipline the most. Just when she was about to make a move a woman came inside. She wore bright red jeans and a ck t-shirt paired with ck calf-high boots. This woman was known as Daina Carter. She was also an undisciplined person, but at least she knew how to act when she was inside the school. She had her hair falling loosely on her shoulders, they were dyed red in some spots, her tender lips were covered with dark ash ck lip color, a sharp nose adorned with a nose ring, smokey eye makeup around her gray colored eyes, her eyebrows were raised sharply before curving downwards. She looked like a feline ready to hunt.


    She whistled and her ss turned quiet. Despite being opposite personalities she and Maddison were very good friends. Can you believe it? But it was the truth. It was said that once Midnight saved Daina on a mission in college and to return the favor, Daina rushed inside a dark dweller squad who kidnapped Midnight once. After that, they became sworn sisters and took up the teacher''s job together.


    Daina came forward and greeted Maddison with a hug. She said, "Yo, clumsy woman, you also here for the test and registration?" she had a soft voice but her vocabry was boorish.


    Midnight only shook her head and said, "Yes."


    Daina smiled and said, "How about a friendly game between our sses."


    Midnight never better and Daina was aware of it so she did not state any stakes. Midnight nodded, she turned to Fenny who stood on her side.


    "Fenny, dear, tell everyone about the arrangement okay?"


    "Yes, miss. I will be back" Fenny sounded very polite and replied to her before she told her ssmates about this. She like Maddison as a person and thus was very docile in front of her.


    Thepetition started, the sses formed two queues and got ready to take all three tests one by one. The order was simple: ss A examinee will take Power Pole, Speed Lane, and Weapons Master first, then ss D examinee, then ss A examinee will repeat and ss D examinee will follow. This cycle will follow until everyone was done taking the test.


    Just when everyone was about to start a guy from ss D moved towards Ushijima Yuki who was talking to another girl from her ss.


    This guy shoved the other girl away and before anyone could say anything he spoke, "Yo baby, want to hang out with me after this test?"


    The whole of ss A did nothing and just looked up to You Xi Wang, who was sitting in the back of the queue. He watched the whole scene with a calm face. His calm face gave An and Neo a bad feeling. Maddison spoke to her friend, "Daina, please calling him back before things mess up."


    Daina chuckled and said, "I would treat you if anyone can tame this guy for me."


    Fenny came by and stood beside Yuki, who had a cold and apathetic face. Fenny spoke, "Oye, ball sack with a mohawk. Do you want to take out Yuki? If yes, then you have to do something first."


    The guy had an enraged expression, but when he heard the second half, he smirked and said, "Say it, this daddy can do anything. But you must stay true to your word."


    Fenny smiled and said, "You see that guy in the back of the queue?" the boy nodded as Fenny continued, "Beat his test results and then you can take this girl away."


    The boy looked up and saw You Xi Wang gazing at him with a calm gaze. He was excited and said, "Just you wait. I will beat him"


    You Xi Wang smiled and Fenny said, "We are on."


    The bet was set.

 Chapter 81: Defeat.

    Chapter 81: Defeat.


    The delinquent boy was called Hermes Jettison. He wore an open shirt and his muscles were shown in full glory, some hints of body tattooed could be seen on his chest. He had a mohawk hairstyle. His ears were pierced and his eyebrow had a cut close to the edge dividing them in two. He really looked like a thug. Schools in Metropia had no restrictions on the dressing style but only on grades.


    The two sses were fired up, one wanted to save their beautiful ssmate while the other wanted to win her over. Maddison Midnight was worried, and she called Fenny.


    "Fenny, I expected you to be responsible. How could you ce such a brazen bet?" she spoke in a scolding tone.


    "Miss, trust me. You Xi Wang is not like he was in the past anymore. Plus, you also know how he treats his close ones. Maybe, you are not aware, but he and Yuki are now a couple. Don''t worry, miss, just enjoy the show." Fenny told her about Yuki and You Xi Wang dating each other. Her words helped the teacher calm down a bit.


    Daina who was also standing next to Maddison listened to all this. She was surprised by the attitude Fenny disyed. Her ss was united with the rust these kids had in each other, but it was not this adamant. She turned her gaze towards You Xi Wang and found him meditating with some kids sitting next to him, including Yuki. These kids were none other than his team, An, Neo, Fenny, who had just left their side, and Yuki.


    Daina then turned to face Maddison and said, "Say, Maddie, is this the strongest team of your ss?"


    Maddison nodded and looked at her friend in askance. Daina understood the question in her gaze and replied, "Isn''t this student You Xi Wang known as the maestro? Why is the think tank of your sspeting at the front?"


    Maddison only said, "How would I know? This group is strongest because they are unpredictable. Plus, ever since this morning I feel You Xi Wang is not like how he used to be. He has gone through a lot."


    Then she started telling Daina about You Xi Wang of the past. While the teachers were chatting with the ss monitors, Fenny and a boy from ss D called Damon came forward discussed the rules.


    For the first test, each of thepetitors will get five trials. The best score will then be taken as a valid strength. The second test was of speed which was kept simple. Both of them would run from side to side and the one who finishes the track first will be the winner. The final test was to be decided by the contenders themselves. They both agreed and told their ssmates about the rules.


    Hermes was the strongest in his ss while You Xi Wang was known as the weakest in his. After the teachers used their authority to start the machines both of them came to stand facing each other near the Power Pole.


    You Xi Wang had a calm expression on his face. He was so calm that it looked indifferent. Those who knew him understood it was just the calm before the storm. Hermes had a scowl on his face, he was arrogant in his strength. He spoke, "You the weakling of ss A, dare to y with me? You will lose your face and the girl too, Maestro."


    You Xi Wang only looked at him as if he was air. His indifference was enough to irritate Hermes. Before thetter could react Fenny said, "Oi,wn head, go take the test. I am rooting for you."


    Hermes looked at Fenny in a rage. He took a step in her direction but then a soft voice stopped him, "Are you backing out?"


    It was You Xi Wang, who spoke up. Let alone, Hermes, whole ss D got triggered.


    "Are you looking for death weakling?"


    "Oi, oi, ain''t that a high tone for a loser."


    "God damn is this boy toy taking our bro as a joke."


    A lot ofments came forward from the students of ss D just when ss A wanted to reply they heard a snap sound and they all swallowed their words.


    You Xi Wang spoke again, "Since you will not make a move, I will do it myself."


    He did not wait for Hermes to reply and came to stand next to the pole. He spread his legs and bend his knees a bit. He bends his elbows and raised his hands to his waist. He took a deep breath and infused his spiritual energy in his fist.


    BOOM


    The whole room fell into silence after hended his blow on the pole. The pole was vibrating slightly. Readings appeared on the calction panel.


    1000 kg.


    This was a reading of a peak spiritual formation, but You Xi Wang was in the early spiritual realm. This shocked the whole room.


    You Xi Wang turned to Hermes, who was stuck in a stupor and said, "I will take only one attempt because I always try to do my best. Your turn,"


    His voice was calm, but his words were arrogant. Hermes gritted his teeth and gave him a cold look. You Xi Wang still looked at him in indifference. Hermes came next to the pole and took his stance. He punched out.


    BANG


    A sound rang out, but it was not as loud as You Xi Wang''s. Again the numbers appeared on the screen.


    750 kg.


    800 kg was the strength of someone in the peak middle-level spiritual formation. Hermes was a genuine fifth level spiritual realm cultivator. His strength was valid, butpared to You Xi Wang it was all in vain. The winner of the first round was decided.


    Hermes then looked at You Xi Wang and said, "You might be strong, but I, Hermes, is faster. Just you wait to eat my dust, kid."


    You Xi Wang didn''t reply and moved to take a position on the Speed Lane, Hermes followed him and stood next to him. ording to the rules, any contact between the twopetitors will lead to a straight disqualification of the initiator.


    Daina spoke in a loud voice, "On your marks."


    You Xi Wang and Hermes bent forward, spreading their legs.


    Daina spoke again, "Get set."


    Thepetitors then raised their heads and focused on the tracks while infusing their spiritual energies in their feet. They were ready to move at any moment.


    Daina''s voice rang out in their ears, "Go!"


    Just as these words left her mouth the two people on the track vanished. They ran with all their might and You Xi Wang did not hold back anything or underestimated his opponent in the slightest of manner. Hermes was the same, he was cautious of You Xi Wang after the Power-Pole test. But the reality was cruel. Despite all his effort, You Xi Wang was an inch ahead of him. The Speedne waspleted soon. They both reached the end.


    The system then showed the image of both of them crossing the finish line almost simultaneously. The speed data was also disyed along with the image.


    129 km/Ph for You Xi Wang and 127 km/Ph for Hermes. This result also shocked the crowd, because the difference was minimal, but it was in You Xi Wang''s favor. There were murmurs inside the room, they all were discussing the oue of this race in hushed voices.


    Hermes was so angered that he almost coughed up blood. He could not understand how was this kid so powerful. He looked at You Xi Wang and saw thetter had some beads of sweat on his forehead. This made him understand that his opponent was not looking down on him but was doing his best to defeat him, You Xi Wang''s image in his heart raised a bit after this.


    He did not provoke him and directly went to the quadrant-off area and held a spear in his hand. He gestured to You Xi Wang toe and fight with him. Thetter epted and followed.


    Hermes spoke, "I have heard that you are proficient in the art of spear. How about wepare in the same?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and epted his proposal. He waved his hand, and a spear appeared in his hand. It was the spear Fenny had changed for him. They both took their stance and Maddison snapped her fingers. The battle began. They kept exchanging moves and their attacks were all very sharp and dangerous, but the other party always parried or dodge it. You Xi Wang opened up a gap between him and Hermes and said, "One move to decide?"


    Thetter nodded in eptance.


    In the crowd of students, Neo spoke, "Bro Wang is going to use that?"


    An by his side nodded. Yuki watched the whole exchange with a poker face, but inside her heart was beating like drums. She was happy because her boyfriend was fighting for her and nervous if he suffered any injury. Despite being cultivators, they were still teenagers.


    You Xi Wang moved and his spear formed beautiful arcs. The wind moved along with the spear tip. The winds acted as knives of wind. Hermes countered with his own spear sense. But You Xi Wang had already looked into a higher ability, the spear intent. As they both moved and thepetition stagnated at a level, he started releasing the spear intent.


    Spears of wind started forming and follow his attacks. Hermes was getting pushed back, he was feeling overwhelmed, without giving up he kept countering with his own attacks but when they both exchanged a hundred moves You Xi Wang increased the pace of his moves, He was now dancing with his spear, his attacks were now grazing Hermes and scratch started forming on his clothes.


    This movement was exquisite, and the students were dumbstruck after watching You Xi Wang''s battle skills. Maddison and Daina exchanged a nce and started recording this move. And as the dance progressed, the wind surrounding You Xi Wang took the form of a dragon. The dragon roared, shaking all the students. The dragon rose and dived under the spear tip. It was as if a magician moving his wand and directing a spell.


    "Piercing Dragon" You Xi Wang stabbed his spear, the dragon moved at a frightening speed and Hermes said hastily, "I admit defeat" the spear tip which was enshrouded by the dragon form energy appeared in front of his brows. He heaved a sigh of relief. He never expected this so-called weakling to be so dangerous.


    The teachers came to their side. They were about to speak when You Xi Wang spoke.


    "Metropia Penal Code, article 980, recording anyone''s martial skills without knowledge is punishable by 50shes." his meaning was clear, he did not permit his teachers to record his skills as the revtion of his skills could prove detrimental if leaked, he was not undefeatable.


    Both teachers felt embarrassed and reluctantly deleted the videos in their Holo-Phone. After this You Xi Wang was dered the winner. The rest of the students started taking their tests.


    He started walked towards a corner to sit down as others started taking the exams when a guy from ss D attempted to do a sneak attack on him. Others were surprised, and a scream rang out inside the room.

 Chapter 82: Acceptance.

    Chapter 82: eptance.


    The boy who attacked You Xi Wang was very close to him and the teachers were not on guard against such a situation. The boy attacked You Xi Wang when he turned to walk away. The others who noticed this they were surprised. They had no clue why someone will suddenly jump the gun. It was a bet but the entire event was fair and thorough. Even if there was a grievance it should be the person who lost and not a bystander.


    You Xi Wang did sense the attacking but he did not turn back to avoid it, and a loud scream rang out through the hall. This scream attracted the attention of those who did not notice anything peculiar earlier. The scream came from the attacker and not You Xi Wang.


    Someone asked about the situation and a student from ss D told him how the guy tried to pull a quick one on You Xi Wang but ended up screaming. The teachers came forward and frowned after hearing the situation.


    "Student You Xi Wang, what happened here?" Daina asked while frowning.


    You Xi Wang respectfully replied, "When I walked away, this person tried to sneak attack on me. I only countered in self-defense, Miss."


    Maddison saw an ice shard stabbed through the guy''s foot pinning it to the ground. Maddison looked around at the students and said, "Which one of you attacked? Come forward." her calm tone was really scary for her own ssroom. They all shook their heads and flinched back. Maddison''s eyes turned cold, watching this everyone was scared but You Xi Wang came to their rescue.


    "Miss, I was the one who attacked and not anyone else," he called out to her teacher.


    Maddison turned to face him and said, "You can use wind element, can you also use water? Not to mention the principle of ice?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile, "That is not my skill, but my spirit beast can use it."


    His words shocked everyone, they knew how hard it was to get a spirit beast at a young age. The beast in nature can only be contracted as a spirit beast when they have not awakened their bloodline and not transform into humanoids. Now You Xi Wang told them that he has already contracted one. They were all curious to see what the beast looked like.


    Daina first removed the ice shard from the student who attacked and asked, "Thomas Colt, why did you attack him?"


    The student in question was Thomas Colt, a boy with meek looks and a cunning face. He shared a simr golden hair color, just like all the colt family members. You Xi Wang heard this name and tilted his head to look at the boy who attacked him. Daina frowned on getting no answer. They thought they should ask the higher authorities about this but before they could speak You Xi Wang came to stand facing Thomas Colt.


    "Say, trash of Colt family, how about we have a life and death battle? I will give your snake face a proper chance before I crush you like a worm." You Xi Wang spoke with his head tilted and he had a warm smile on his face. He looked like a maniac. His voice was calm but the chill contained in it made them shudder in fear. What kind of change was this? They all know You Xi Wang as an amiable boy who never offended anyone until and unless they made a move on his close ones.


    Maddison snapped her fingers and calmed down the atmosphere and looked at You Xi Wang. She spoke up, "You Xi Wang, what do you think you are doing?"


    You Xi Wang replied without taking his gaze off of Thomas Colt, "I, You Xi Wang swear in the name of my blood that this person called, Thomas Colt is a dark dweller. If I am proved wrong, I shall cease to exist."


    This blood oath shocked all the people inside the room. The world of metropia was bound byws of nature if someone swears something in the name of blood they will pay a prize for it. If the im or statement was false, their blood will evaporate and they will die. This was thew of Metropia which was no controlled or changed by anyone. That is why they were shocked.


    Maddison acted quickly and sent an SOS signal to the administrative block and within five seconds a middle-aged woman came to the STR. She looked around and saw everyone being anxious except for five kids standing together. Maddison and Daina came forward and saluted the woman respectfully. Maddison spoke up first, "Senior Gabrie, this is the kid suspected to be a dark dweller." she pointed towards Thomas Colt.


    This woman was called Gabrie, she was a peak primal soul realm cultivator. She did not say anything and only nodded to the two who informed her. She took out a needle and poked it inside Thomas Colt''s stomach and chanted some words. Soon Thomas Colt started to shiver and sweat beads formed on his forehead.


    Gabrie''s eyes turned cold and she spoke, "You dark dwellers have grown some real guts toe and hide inside our school." her words proved You Xi Wang''s earlier im. The whole crowd flinched. This was an unexpected event.


    Gabrie looked at You Xi Wang with a warm smile and said, "You have done a good deed."


    You Xi Wang ignored her praise and said, "You will take him to the administration block for interrogation?"


    Gabrie nodded and said, "Yes, why do you ask?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Can Ie along? I also have some information regarding these scums."


    Gabrie thought about it and nodded. You Xi Wang called out, "Maya,e along." he stretched out his hand and a wolf cub jumped over and sat on his broad shoulders.


    Without Maya''s spell, all the other cubs also appeared. Let alone the students even senior Gabrie was stunned. They did not expect these five students to have their own spirit beasts. You Xi Wang did this to show his talent. Every academy treasures talented people and this was an undeniable fact.


    You Xi Wang walked up to Thomas Colt and tapped his body a few times and sealed his cultivation base. He took out the needle poking in his stomach. He gave the needle back to Gabrie and said in a respectful tone, "Senior let''s go. Time is precious."


    Gabrie nodded and wrapped them both with her spiritual energy and took them to the administration tower. Daina and Maddison acted as if nothing happened and the test continued as usual. Gabrie took them to the section called Interrogation Department. This department in any school was established to uncover and deal with students or teachers who are involved in malpractices and sometimes theye across dark dwellers among the staff and students just like now.


    When You Xi Wang reached the interrogation room, he found it very... empty. Gabrie informed her higher-ups using her Holo-phone and received her instructions. First, she called up a colleague of hers to talk to You Xi Wang and get the information he had to share. You Xi Wang cooperated with the man called Fredrick Link and told him about the things regarding Seedling Inc. When they both came out of the room they saw Gabrie frowning as she stood next to the entrance of the room where Thomas was contained at the moment.


    Fredrick Link asked his colleague, "What? Another tough nut?"


    Gabrie nodded and spoke, "I cannot understand how tenacious these maggots are."


    Fredrick said, "Let me call someone from the executioner department. They are good at this."


    You Xi Wang said, "Seniors, may I interrogate him?"


    They looked at him with wide eyes, Fredrick chuckled and said, "What makes you think he will speak after you ask him?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile on his face, "He will."


    Gabrie spoke up, "Knock yourself out, student You Xi Wang." and gestured him to the door. Those who discovered the dark dwellers had the right to interrogate them too.


    You Xi Wang entered the room with a smile on his face. Thomas who saw him entering the room sneered, "You think, you can make me speak? Tch, arrogant. If not for that bitch I would have killed you." he was unaware of what kind of storm wasing towards him and on top of that, he just abused Maya verbally.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and took out a dagger from his ring. He came to stand next to Thomas who was sitting in a chair with his hands tied. He pressed his hand on top of his hand and cast a soul spell.


    In the soul spell, Thomas was his time with beautiful women while You Xi Wang was lying on his feet like a dog. While outside You Xi Wang yed him from his torso to his neck. His veins and tendons were visible. He looked like a model used in medical ssed to teach the students about muscles in the human body. You Xi Wang wiped the sweat on his forehead, he was slightly tired because he was doing two tasks at the same time which both required high focus.


    You Xi Wang then took a seat on the chair opposite to Thomas Colt and removed the soul spell. The work process of a soul spell was very simple, it won''t let your brain interpret anything happening to you in the real world, even pain. The pain from being skinned was umted and when the spell came off, Thomas wailed in pain. His scream leaked from the room and Fredrick and Gabrie who stood outside were shocked. They rushed inside the room, only to be shocked by the scene.


    You Xi Wang whistled to Maya who sat on his shoulder. Thetter stood up and walked to Thomas who was wailing, she sniffed him and turned her head away. She stood sideways and raised her hind leg. She took a piss on the yed body and loud screams followed, some were from the physical pain while some were because of his shattered dignity. You Xi Wang took out an alcohol bottle from his ring and sshed some on Thomas''s body.


    He lit it up with a lighter he borrowed from Fredrick, after Thomas issued some screams You Xi Wang would extinguish the mes and then repeat the process again. Just fifteen minutes have passed and Thomas was begging them for death.


    You Xi Wang said to Gabrie, "He is all your now teacher." and with that said, he went outside the room.

 Chapter 83: Assessment.

    Chapter 83: Assessment.


    After treating Thomas Colt with his skills, he came back to the Strength Testing Room. His ss was still getting their results. He sat down in the corner, waiting quietly. He had no interest in mingling with people on his own. After reincarnation, his mentality has changed. Maya and the other pups came to his side and sat down there in peace as the others were busy in their assessment.


    Daina noticed him from the monitoring area. She was curious about this guy, so she made her way over to him. She spoke, "Student You Xi Wang, thank you for saving me from the usation of teaching a dark dweller."


    You Xi Wang locked eyes with her and said with an indifferent face, "It is what one should do."


    Daina did not expect him to give her such a cold reaction and was taken back. Even though she dressed up differently from the others, she was not ugly in any manner. She probed again, "Student You Xi Wang, do you mind telling me, how did you know that Thomas was a dark dweller?"


    "Teacher Daina, I have faced She Congming earlier and noticed his behavior. Dark dwellers are impulsive, and when they make a move, the spiritual energy does not fluctuate. It is a very minute change, but it will be noticed if you keep up your guard. The stronger a dark dweller, the better they conceal it." You Xi Wang replied.


    Daina was surprised to know such a thing even existed. Then she felt shameful for not knowing all this as a teacher, yet a student in his teens knew this. She stood there in contemtion. Just when she was about to ask something Maddison also came beside You Xi Wang with Yuki helping her.


    Maddison smiled and said, "You Xi Wang, you have done a good job."


    You Xi Wang smiled lightly while replying with a thank you. Yuki came to his side and crouched down to y with the pups. Maddison looked at the pups and Maya, who was sleeping in You Xi Wang''sp, caught her eye. She asked, "This white one is your spirit beast, right?"


    Thetter nodded while he kept stroking Maya on her back. Maya snuggled closer to show her fondness. Maddison looked at Daina and asked her with a weird look.


    Maddison asked, "You are not thinking about poaching my student, are you?"


    Daina immediately looked away, scratching the back of her head.


    Maddison pouted, "Daina, I will never let this happen. Go mind your ss."


    Daina gave her a sheepish smile and spoke, "Like maybe we can exchange our students no? This will be a good experience."


    Maddison was about to speak, but Yuki cut her short, "Teacher Daina, please give up. This n might backfire on your ss."


    Daina looked at her a bit and then remembered how Hermes fought with You Xi Wang, and given the violent and rebellious streak inside the students of her ss. It might turn out into a roadside brawl inside the ss. Thinking about this, she gave up her idea, shaking her head.


    Daina sighed and spoke, "Student You Xi Wang, if ever need my help do not hesitate, as long as it is within my power I will lend you a hand. Okay, see you guys around. Take care sis." after bidding farewell to Maddison, she left toplete conducting the initial tests for her ss.


    Soon, An, Neo, and Fenny were done with their tests and came over. They alsopleted the registration for the annual assessment. You Xi Wang picked up Maya and told his friends he needs to get to his office as he had a meeting to attend. The others also left to prepare for the assessment. What they were unaware of was that You Xi Wang''s way of handling Thomas Colt has made hime into the limelight and the school.


    The executioner department sent Tanaka Kinben to take over the scene, and when he found out it was You Xi Wang who did this, he put a gag order on the news. This order prevented everyone from leaking any word about it because if the news leaked out and someone attacked You Xi Wang to avenge Thomas Colt this would be a blemish on The Council''s face.


    ...


    You Xi Wang rushed to his office and started dealing with things to stabilize thepany. He also held meetings about the direction of their new products. The furniture he wanted to produce was bean bags, this was the easiest project, the technology eased up sewing up a leather bag and filling it with a gel-like substance which will take re-shape when anyone sat down on it. Metropia did not use styrofoam, so they came up with a gel which was even more convenient than styrofoam.


    You Zhichi nned a thorough advertisement campaign for selling this product. You Xi Wang kept cultivating in his free time and conducting meetings forunching the guitar and ser video game. The council has given them a no-objection certificate as these two ideas were not found harmful for society. The Council even praised theirpany for taking such a unique approach towards the development of the world.


    The days flew by in a blink and before they knew. The day of assessment was here. The assessment was always held in the wild. The area wasbed and pacified by the Council. The executioners would eliminate every threat higher than the average level of the students taking part in the assessment. The annual assessment was held at the same time all over the. Silica City, Croma City, and Neon City were neighboring cities. They were allocated the same zone for the assessment. This location was never to be disclosed before the assessment officially started. This step was taken to prevent any student or their families from interfering with the process. Executioners from the council were posted to watch over the transparency.


    The school would assign their teachers to safeguard the students in dangerous situations, but this only was not enough. There were still some deaths happening in the assessments. The goal was to survive in the forest. The students could raid each other and grab their tokens. These tokens were given to them by their schools. When a student losses their token, they would be thrown out of the examination area. Besides this, one can also survive by collecting beast cores. Ten beast cores were equal to one student token.


    The exchange ratio was cruel, but this also taught everyone a lesson. Only with strength can one live. The process wouldst for a week. The score list was disyed live. The area was a circle with thousand miles in diameter. The scale of these examinations was worldwide and given that this world was ten times as big as the earth You Xi Wang was not shocked when he researched all the information.


    He asked all his friends to wear a ck battle suit. They even painted their weapons in ck. The motive was to hunt at night. Their ck suits and weapons would help them in hiding. They could not take any form of medicine and rations with them. Otherwise, how would they learn to survive? Those who had spirit beasts had a restriction set over them. They could not use their shared skills by themselves. Only the beast can cast their skill and not the human.


    This would limit them from taking advantage of the situation. It was understandable that some people are stronger than others but the strength of a spirit beast was a boost that can not be matched with just hard work. Imagine two people of the same realm, but one of them has a spirit beastpanion? Not fair.


    You Xi Wang and his team arrived at their school wearing their battle suits. They all looked spectacr. Maddison passed them all with the student tokens and said addressing the whole ss, "I do not care about the rules, but if any of you attacked each other to score, or rejected to help in need. You can forget about stepping inside my ssroom afterward. Do you get it?"


    Her firm voice made students understand that their teacher was not joking at all. They all replied in sync, "Yes, Miss."


    Maddison smiled and nodded, "Good, now go get them."


    The ss cheered and all of them departed to take the airship they were assigned to. An airship looked like an aircraft carrier but was equipped with thrust engines running on spirit cores. This was a magnificent vehicle. They could use Holo-Phones, but they could not contact their ssmates other than their team. While they were on the airship an officer from the council tweaked with their Holo-phones and set them ording to the guidelines.


    They all checked their equipment. You Xi Wang received calls from his family wishing him all the best. Emily and Susan called him together to wish him and Yuki good luck. You Zhichi also called him she tried to hide her concern with a smile. This made You Xi Wang feel warm. He assured them he will take care of himself. he asked his sister to focus on herself, as her examination will also be heldter. Celestia was the only one whoined to him about leaving her and not taking her out for a pic. You Xi Wang, the maestro had to spare a lot of effort to coax this little fairy into forgiving him. After an hour they reached their destination.


    The area designated to them was called Fire Dunes. The mode of disembarkment was a dive from the airship and using the parachutes inside their battle suits tond safely. Thus, You Xi Wang, and his team jumped off from the airship.

 Chapter 84: Fire Dune.

    Chapter 84: Fire Dune.


    You Xi Wang jumped down the airship and his friends followed his lead. They all had parachutes and glide wings equipped in the all adaptable battle suit. They all had a sling over their backs for the pups. You Xi Wang nced at thendscape below and saw that most of the area was covered in rock cliffs. He spotted a rtively in area and moved his body so that he couldnd in that area. His team followed him with no hesitation.


    <em>SWISH!</em>


    <em></em>The glide wings inside their battle suits flung open. The glide wings were simr to the wingsuit used on the earth, a thinyer of rubber between their arm and torso, providing the user with enough thrust to change direction and finend. You Xi Wang and his friends were traveling by air at a great speed. Just when they were a couple of hundred meters away from the ground they opened their parachutes.


    The group gradually descended on the ground after the parachutes broke their speed. Theynded with a run, turned around, and tugged the parachute towards themselves. The Parachutes then wrapped up automatically and got stored inside the back of the group. The mythical nanotechnology from the earth was so advanced on Metropia that it could easily create parachutes instantly.


    The group''s movement was performed in a blink. You Xi Wang nced around quickly and gestured his team to follow him. They ran for a couple of miles and then he turned to Neo.


    "Neo, dig it up. The day is as hot as 80 degrees celsius. We travel and hunt at night." he instructed. Neo cast a spell and a big hole appeared on the ground. You Xi Wang then asked An to cast a spell and bake the pit walls. This created firm walls for their hideout. You Xi Wang and the others jumped inside and Neo created a ceiling and An baked it. The ss cell was now prepared as the sand melted and took the form of ss.


    You Xi Wang took out his spear and drilled some holes in the side and asked neo to create some holes leading to the surface. This idea allowed air cirction. You Xi Wang stroked Maya and the furry beauty created some icicles hanging from the ceiling. These icicles were not for decoration but were rms. If there was movement on the surface then they would be rmed as the icicles would vibrate.


    You Xi Wang asked Fenny to use a light blob to light up the dark inside. The underground was coolerpared to the hellish desert. The group sat down in a circle with Yuki hogging You Xi Wang''s shoulder. It was now time tomence a battle meeting.


    Fenny spoke first, "Hunting in the day is dangerous and most of the people will be thinking the same thing like us, hunting in the night."


    An used his Holo-phone to ess the holographic map of the region. He spoke, "We are in the western region of the desert. The east, the north, and the south are covered in cliffs. This side of the desert is rtively in and not considered as good as a cover for teams so we will have fewer chances of hunting here."


    You Xi Wang replied, "Do not be so anxious. I choose this region because even in the daytime the people in the cliffs will duke it out within themselves. No one will be giving up on a frontal assault. It saves energy in the short term. We stay here and we hunt animals in the dunes. Also, This desert also has another name."


    Neo jumped up, "Shit, this ce is also called frozen me pit."


    Yuki asked, "What does that mean?"


    You Xi Wang patted her hand and said, "The sand in this desert is special. It is called, Radiant-grain. The grain of sand in this desert is known as one of the best radiators in the whole world. The temperature here could be as high as 100 degrees Celsius on a summer day and as cold as -110 degrees celsius at night in winter. This drastic temperature change is a reason why people avoid this ce like a gue."


    Yuki praised, "You know so much. I am so proud of you, Xi Wang."


    Fenny sneered, "Hoe-ki, you please don''t make me barf in this congested settlement. Seriously can you act your usual self? This desert is not a lover''s point. I read on the that there are poisonous creatures as thin as a needle. They are deemed extremely hazardous. So please don''t take my baby Wang in the sandbox to clean up your pipes. Or you both might end up dead by stings on them genitals."


    You Xi Wang and Yuki both were so embarrassed by this rowdyment that they separated from each other. An and Neo tried their best to stop their giggles because they would be put on the pedestal the next moment. Momma Fenny never spares anyone.


    The group waited inside the cell for six hours. It was now evening and You Xi Wang decided to go and hunt some meat. After cutting up a hole in the ss ceiling and carefully setting it down the group left to hunt. They traveled together to avoid sudden confrontations.


    Fenny spotted a Feiry Lizard in a distance and was about to take a shot when an arrow flew past her with a swoosh sound. The arrow found its target andnded on the lizard piercing its head giving it an instant death. Fenny was about tosh out on You Xi Wang but thetter quickly said, "Momma, I know that you have silenced your weapon, but the muzzle sh is too eye-catching in this desert and that too of aser weapon."


    Fenny reined in her anger and to hide her blunder she spoke, "Good boy, baby Wang. You have learned well from big momma. Now let''s go and get that leather. I will make some boots and belts for myself anddies at home."


    She looked at the other three and said, "Don''t worry your moms will receive gifts from this sister of theirs." her tone was that of an elder of the family.


    The other three bowed a bit and spoke in sync, "We thank big momma for the big heart."


    Fenny patted their heads and walked towards the dead lizard. The four left behind only shook their heads. You Xi Wang and others followed. He collected his arrow and put it back in his quiver. They continued to hunt some more beasts and creatures of the desert. You Xi Wang also collected the me thread viper found in the desert only. He wanted to use the poison extracted from it against his enemies in the future.


    The moon gradually rose up. The temperature started to drop with every minute. They rushed back to their hideout. They cooked their gathered meat after cleaning them up using spiritual energy. As they were eating Fenny said, "Xi Wang we will be needing water."


    You Xi Wang thought for a bit and created a cone using the leather and skin they got from their hunt. Then he ced them all outside in the night in an inverted manner. This would collect the vapors condensed to water through the night.


    They ate and spend the night in silence and meditating. They went out before dawn and this time they managed to track two teams from Neon City school. They raided them in session. Maya and the paw squad yed a significant role in these raids. They used their spiritual beast skills to confuse and sneak on the opponents scoring an easy win for their own teams.


    You Xi Wang and others managed to gain more than what they expected. These two groups seemed to have shed with other squads earlier and thus were slow and tired in retaliation. They also have grabbed some supplies and tokens of the other squads. This made them have twice the results in half the work.


    Although it could be considered a good start for their team but You Xi Wang had another target in mind than just passing the assessment. This target was enving Ronald Colt and nting him inside The Mirai Group for his future assault. He knew it was hard to achieve it but he did not want to give p even before trying. He spoke to his team to focus on gathering info in exchange for tokens and supplies. This method would work as not all the teams arepeting to survive and score in the assessment.


    The sun has risen again and it was now day two of the survival assessment. You Xi Wang and his team followed their initial n of resting in the peak hours of the day and the night while they hunted and raided in the evening and the twilight hours. This n was effective and sure to bear fruits.


    His teammates did ask You Xi Wang, why are they not hunting to stockpile. You XI Wang replied to them with a quote.


    "Nature is to be respected and only take what you need from nature." this was something his mother has taught him in his previous life. If you overexploit nature, someday it wille back to clear the debt. His words left his teammates in a state of contemtion.

 Chapter 85: Tracking The Prey.

    Chapter 85: Tracking The Prey.


    Although You Xi Wang had given out some tokens for the info that was only applied when the info was valuable and correct. They did this for two days and tracked Ronald Colt inside the eastern region of the desert. The team traveled and hunt simultaneously. They were also aware of being counter tracked by Ronald Colt, and that was something they could only hope for.


    Ronald Colting to them would be like serving himself on a silver tter. They had information about his and his team''s strength and it turned out they were evenly matched, but You Xi Wang had his unique cards. His team members were proficient in ying two vital roles in any formation. Fenny was a sniper and mid-range attacker before, but now she could close quarters and tank too. Neo was a closebat expert, but after the time he spent with Fenny in whispering woods helped him train in sniping and long-range interceptions too.


    Teams like theirs could be counted on one hand in this entire examination. They were not overconfident, as You Xi Wang sometimes appeared in front of other teams during the scoring day or freezing nights. It was like he and his team were inexhaustible and they could hunt or raid anytime they want. This little trick of theirs gained them a new moniker, The Phantoms. They would be apanied by stunning and sassy looking wolf pups, except for snowke who always looked like he was out for a pic if not for Maya''s growls he would have probably started ying with the opponent.


    ...


    Today is the fourth day of the survival assessment and You Xi Wang and his team were traversing the desert in broad daylight. You Xi Wang did this because the heat could also be the means of tempering. Too much restraint and caution will not allow one to be a peerless cultivator. The motive behind cultivation was to break past the human limits and defy the heavens.


    The temperature was 76 degrees Celsius, You Xi Wang, Neo, An formed a triangle, and Yuki and Fenny were inside the triangle. Maya, Luna, and Shroud scouted. Maya could use camouge, Luna could use the shadows cast by the dunes to move through them while Shroud was a typical night hound. He could mingle with the tiniest shadows and live inside them.


    This was an extreme quirk present only in most authentic Night Hound bloodlines. Despite being born to a cross of Snow Hound and Night hound, Shroud did not inherit a single speck of Snow hound blood and kept his Night Hound powers. His blood being pure allowed him to awaken a quirk of living inside the shadows during the moment he signed his spirit beast pact. He rarely showed himself when his siblings were not around. Usually, he would live in An''s shadow and cultivate there.


    Snowke was his total opposite, that is why they would fight over the slightest of issue. Snowke had pure Snow Hound blood and just like Shroud he could now live in reflective surfaces, such as mirrors, but this guy was too naughty and cheerful to live alone so he would rarely go inside the mirror ne Fenny wore.


    The group moved at a slow and steady pace. But the heat was too much for Yuki, who practiced the water element. Her strides were bing dragged with every step she took, You Xi Wang could not watch her like this and stooped walking, he turned to Neo, "Let''s take a rest, she won''t be able to hold on like this."


    Neo nodded and opened a cave in the cliff wall. They had entered the eastern part of the Fire dune desert. You Xi Wang called Maya back to the team, An and Neo also called Shroud and Luna back. Inside the cave, fenny asked Snowke to cast a snow spell, and the temperature droppedforting Yuki. The pups also returned at this moment. Maya came to You Xi Wang and jumped onto his shoulder. After this, she ryed some information in his mind.


    You Xi Wang stood up in a calm manner and spoke to Fenny, "Give me your sniper rifle. I am going to hunt."


    His tone was a bit too calm for them to not know what he intended to do. They knew him all too well.


    An said, "I will be your spotter, and Xiao Wang, this is not up for a discussion."


    Neo also heaved a sigh and stood up stretching his muscles, "I miss brawling. Don''t you dare to say otherwise or I will ask Momma Fenny for help."


    Fenny said, "Xi Wang, we know that your enmity with him is too deep, but you need to keep a calm mind. Take them with you. Don''t worry about Yuki and me. Just close the cave opening when going out and erase your tracks."


    Yuki wasying down exhausted. She sat up and spoke to You Xi Wang in a soft manner, "Go, but pleasee back to us okay?"


    You Xi Wang felt warm in his heart looking at the concerned looks on their faces and said, "Don''t worry, we will be fine, Fenny, we will be in touch using Holo-Phones."


    Fenny nodded and said, "Go brats, ande back alive."


    The trio exited the cave with their spiritpanions, Neo closed the cave opening while he winked to Fenny, assuring her they will be fine. The three exchanged a look, Maya to lead the way. You Xi Wang followed her with others. They were running through and over the cliffs. The sun was descending and the temperature lowered to 40 degrees Celsius. The trio could bear it with ease, and so could their spirit beast as they shared the spiritual affinity of their partners to some extent.


    Maya slowed down after running for a couple of miles. Even Though she was a pup her speed was fast because of her strong physic. The group following her slowed down and crouched down to avoid being noticed. You Xi Wang took out binocrs to look into the direction Maya was pointing at.


    Five hundred meters away, a group of teens wasying inside a cave. Among them was a guy with blonde hair and green eyes, he was as tall as You Xi Wang, a pointy chin, high cheekbones, yful smiling lips. He was almost as handsome as You Xi Wang. His arm was coiled around a beautiful girl who was drawing circles on his chest.


    ...


    Ronald Colt, Jared Crow, Tom Benedict, Chris Steiner, and Lara Michel were the best team in assessment from Croma City academy, ss 1A. At this moment they were all rxing and goofing around in a cave they had dug out to hide from the sun.


    Tom Benedict was a sly looking teenager. He clicked his tongue and spoke in dissatisfaction, "This god damn ce is too hot. These fuckers in The Council, do they want us to die here?"


    Jared Crowughed in a weird manner, "Are you afraid your skin will get a sunburn? Look at Young master Colt. He is way too handsome yet he doesn''t seem to care about it?"


    Tom Benedict couldn''t reply and directly jumped on Jared Crow. Thement soon became a brawl with Chris Steiner joining in.


    Lara Michel spoke to Ronald Colt in a coy manner, "Young Master Colt, when can I meet your father?"


    Ronald Colt spoke with indifference, "All in the meantime. Don''t worry."


    Lara Michel nodded and keptying down in his arms, Ronald Colt spoke, "I wonder when will that You family mutte to this father, that weaklings mother was beautiful and it was her pleasure to be an object of fascination to my father yet how dare she deny it." heughed shaking his head, "That bitch died, along with her loser husband. Now, I want her daughter, I heard that she is called the Celestial Maiden."


    His words caused the brawl to stop and Tom Benedict spoke while holding Jared Crow''s neck, "Young Master, good things should be shared among us all."


    Chris Steiner and Jared Crow also emitted the lust in their eyes, Ronald Colt shook his head and with a smile, he said, "Fine, you guys can have your turns when she is under my control."


    The cave was echoing with their lecherousughter.


    ...


    You Xi Wang and his two friends who watched all this from a distance were watching all this calmly. An had his spiritpanion Shroud infiltrate the cave with a radio mic strapped on his back, they could hear every single word of what had transpired inside the cave. Turned out these four guys were of the same nature and as for that girl Lara Michel, she was just a money-minded girl.


    You Xi Wang spoke after he exhaled heavily, "At first I only wanted to stun them and enve Ronal Colt but now I will make gift them with something which will change their whole being."


    Neo asked, "What do you n to do?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "You will see." with this, he set some tranquilizer shots in the sniper rifle he borrowed from Fenny and took the position, aiming at Ronald Colt who was busy making out with the girl in his arms. He took a shot. Before the people inside the cave could react he took four more shots, one after another sessfully stunning the group.


    An spoke, "What do we do now?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Follow me."

 Chapter 86: Atlantis.

    Chapter 86: Antis.


    Neo and An experienced goosebumps when they saw You Xi Wang''s creepy smile. They knew nothing good wasing out of these four guys. They dared to poke sleazyments on You Zhichi, and Chen Limao. They would have been lucky if they died during the initial stage of torture.


    You Xi Wang sat down on the ground with his legs crossed and held his chin between his right-hand index finger and thumb with his left hand tucked under the right elbow. His straight eyebrows would rise and fall constantly. After five minutes his eyes lit up. He looked up at An and spoke, "Big bro An. You take both of our tokens and go back to the hideout. You wait for us there but leave Shroud here to help me."


    An shook his head and was about to say something in refusal when You Xi Wang cut him off and said, "Trust me, I swear we will not close in on them till they are awake." his voice was serious


    An realized and knew he was not joking so he said, "Okay, but you better not do something crazy and endanger yourselves."


    "Hehehe... that won''t happen." You Xi Wang chuckled and send An away with their student survival tokens.


    Neo asked, "Why did you give him our tokens?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and exined patiently, "How does the Council keep track of who lost the token?"


    Neo spoke, "Umm... by tracking the token?"


    You Xi Wang affirmed his answer and exined, "ording to the rules, the whole team can collectively keep their tokens on a specific member of their teams. The tokens have a sensor that is helpful in scanning the biometrics of the token owner. This scan is performed every five minutes. basis. If the biometrics don''t match the owner or the team member it is then disyed as a loss and the team whole lost their tokens is taken out of the exam."


    Neo asked, "Maestro Wang, but what is your motive to do this"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Ooff, muscle mountain Neo, the council can not only determine who is surviving or not but also get our whereabouts traced with these tokens. This is a w in the rules which is exploited by me with Bro An''s help."


    Neo suddenly stood up and said, "You mean, it was done to keep our whereabouts mystery? You are awesome." he gave You Xi Wang a thumbs up.


    You Xi Wang did not entertain Neo and called Maya, and Shroud towards him. He asked Maya to use some ice spell to create a water pond in front of the cave and Luna was to make that water turn into a woman. He strapped Shroud with a mini speaker. The trap was set, all that left to do now was to watch them take the bait.


    Neo was standing on the side could not guess the head or tail of these instructions but his trust in his brother made him stay silent and watch the whole thing from start to end. You Xi Wang watched the pups go ahead and take their positions. Although, Maya was invisible, because of the spirit pact and they had he could tell where she was standing.


    Maya stood near the opening of the cave and cast a spell. Icicles formed in air and melted into water. Before the water could fall on the ground and evaporate, Luna who was standing beside Maya under the cover of her sister''s camouge, cast a spell and the water took the form of a woman. This woman looked like Neo but her figure wasparable to Yuki.


    You Xi Wang who was watching this whole process couldn''t help but fall on the sand holding his stomach andugh. Neo had his face flushed and did not know what to say. He cared about Luna a lot. He trained her and fed her with the best of his capabilities and they shared an inseparable bond with each other. Maybe that was the reason why Luna made the water look like him.


    Neo snorted and said, "Xi Wang, you asshole. If you are doneughing get on with it."


    You Xi Wang panted as he reined in hisughter and said, "Yes, sister Nia." his pun was like a knife to Neo, which caused him to jump on the former and strangle him. You Xi Wang spoke in a choking voice, "Bro, I am sorry. I won''t do it again."


    Neo let him go and stood up with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His face had a dignified look. You Xi Wang coughed and gave Shroud a nod. The Night Hound pup was smart and quickly wrapped in the shadow and appeared near the shadow. The speaker was set on echo mode and You Xi Wang manipted his voice to speak like a girl''s voice.


    Shroud only let the speaker outside the shadow, the speaker was so minuscule that it hid behind a small stone very easily.


    ...


    The people inside the cave only saw how some icicles formed in the air and then it morphed into a woman''s figure. the woman looked beautiful and just when Tom Benedictwanted to approach this figure he was stopped by Ronald Colt.


    "Stop, we don''t know what is this thing. Be cautious," he warned and all his brothers nodded.


    Jared Crow then asked, "Who or what are you? What do you want here?"


    The figure''s lips did not move but a voice echoed, "A puny mortal fleshing dares to talk in such a high tone in front of this princess."


    The voice was filled with dignity. The group inside the cave was stunned when they heard such high disdain in the voice. Ronald Colt acted cautiously as he could not discern the power of the other party, this was only possible when either the entity in front of him was too strong or too weak. The manner this water-woman in front of him spoke meant she was too strong and they were not worth anything in her eyes.


    He spoke, "We apologize, pardon my friend for being so blunt. May I ask, why have youe here?"


    The water woman talked again, "Oh, humans do have clever subjects among them. The reason I came here is simple. I am looking for a groom."


    The boys were all stunned. Ronald Colt asked again in a soft manner, "Miss, youing here, could it be that you want your groom to be one of us?"


    The Water-woman replied, "Yes when I was born, the royal priest made a prediction. We will find my groom and future king of our kingdom at the end of the summer solstice in the year we turn 26. Today we are 26 and this is the location the priest suggested. The fire dune, the desert which will forge my marriage in the fire of love."


    Jared Leto spoke, "How do we know if what you said is true or not?"


    The Water Woman spoke without turning to him, "It is up to you whether you believe it or not. I do not need to provide you with any exnation, and it is not like I cannot find any other grooms in this desert. There will be countless men stronger than you in this human realm. We only wanted to give you the chance because it was fate that led us to you. Since you''d rather stay here and live like a mortal insect than being a king and rule the world by my side, I shall take my leave."


    The Water-woman turned around and was about to go away when Ronald Colt spoke, "Please stay. This guy is a frog at the bottom at the well. Can you please give us another chance? We will not let you down." his tone was dripping with a pleading expression.


    The Water-woman turned around and said, "You are the only tactful person in this group of horny pigs. We will give you a chance but this time there will be no mistakes. I will erase your existence."


    The three boys red at Jared who could only nod his head. The Water-woman spoke, "We have one groom but we don''t know who it is among you four."


    Ronald punched his chest in a knightly way and said, "I am the most handsome and strongest among this group, it is definitely me who is your husband."


    Tom Benedict stepped forward and said, "I am still a virgin unlike the most handsome guy here. It is me who is worthy of you my princess. You don''t deserve used goods." his words made Ronald feel very angry.


    The other two also spoke some words trying to highlight themselves but they were not even worthy to be written by me.


    The water-woman spoke, "You all will take a test of manliness, and only then can you be qualified to be my groom. Do you have the guts?"


    Ronald Colt spoke, "Of course, tell us what is this test you speak of? We will take it and may the bestman win."


    The cronies nodded too.


    The Water-woman said, "Very well, let us take you to our world then."


    Jared asked again, "Where is that?"


    Just as these words left his mouth the whole ce around them turned into an underwater world with human-like water-man/woman walking around on the seabed. The ce was lit with pearls and rubies, the fishes were exotic and some people were riding on sharks and dolphins. The five people rubbed their eyes and the water-man/woman turned into humans, The Water-woman who brought them to this ce turned into a long and slender dusky girl. She had sea-shells as her crown and she used them as clothes to cover her sweet-spots too. The people who saw her bowed their heads in respect.


    The girl then spoke, "Wee to Antis, I am Mary, the princess of this world."

 Chapter 87: The ding ding dong is gone.

    Chapter 87: The ding ding dong is gone.


    Ronald and the cronies were stunned after they saw Mary take up a human form. She was ady of elegance. Slender long legs, plump butt, waist looked as if it was molded by hands of an artisan, two proud peaks hidden behind big sized seashells, a deep crevice of beauty parting them. Her figure was dripping with beauty and charisma.


    Her face also changed, an oval face, long eyebrows curving downwards, two big sparkly ck eyes, a sharp gaze. Her long smooth nose and thin lips. She was a piece of art created by God to define beauty. Ronald has totally forgotten about any other woman in this world. He wanted only her.


    Well, it may sound exaggerated, but that is how things are in illusions. Yes, when they were busy focusing on the water-woman, Maya created an extensive illusion with You Xi Wang''s help. This was the final nail in the coffin for the boys as they were too focused on the water woman.


    ...


    On the outside of this illusion, Lara Michel was the only one who was not under the control of You Xi Wang and Maya. Neo closed in on the cave receiving You Xi Wang''s go signal. He entered the cave and subdued the girl after some struggle. He knocked her out and as You Xi Wang asked him, he used her Holo-phone to record whatever was going to happen next and came out of the cave so he does not get caught in the video by mistake.


    (You all must think why can Neo ess Lara''s Holo-phone despite it being so secure and advanced. Well, Holo-phone has a w too. Despite being so advanced and secure, it unlocks when it scans the fingerprint of the person wearing it. And since Neo subdued her, how hard could it be to manipte a finger?)


    ...


    Inside the illusion.


    Ronald and others were mesmerized by Mary''s appearance, so they unconsciously gulp a mouth full of saliva. Their third legs woke up just besetting sights on Mary''s curves. They were determined toplete the test and then get her under them on the bed.


    Ronald asked, "Mary, I am called Ronald Colt. Can I ask you a question?"


    Mary nodded and Ronald asked, "How can we breathe underwater?"


    Mary tilted her head and said, "Antis is blessed by the God of seas. All humans here can breathe underwater."


    Chris spoke, "Can you tell us more about your God of Seas?"


    Mary replied in a monotonous tone, "You will know after the test." she paused and then continued, "Follow me to the trial grounds. It just so happens that today is the day of my n''s annual trial ceremony so every man in the empire will take the test."


    The group of boys was curious and followed her with noints. On the way, they saw the wonders of Antis which they never could have imagined. The females were extremely beautiful, and the males looked extremely strong. Some people were walking on two feet while some were riding sea creatures. They reached a square where a statue was standing. This statue was of a man who looked handsome and held a trident in his left hand while his right hand was pointing forward. He looked very valiant and awe-inspiring. The eyes of the statues were as if they were following the group.


    Mary stopped and bowed to the statue. The boys followed her actions. They did this with two motives, first, if this statue was a living entity then by bowing they will show it due respect and not to offend it. The second, to create a good impression on Mary that they respected her culture. This moved could be called sleek, but Mary was a beautiful illusion and they were not aware of this.


    Mary spoke, "This is our founding father, Poseidon, the god of the seas."


    They nodded and after the brief introduction, they followed her and reached a big open training field. The field was filled with thousands of men standing in queues holding butcher knives in their hands. They all looked like a well-trained army. They were all draped in Blue Colored cloth. They wore matching Dhotis. Mary led the group to a high pedestal and asked them to stand there.


    Before leaving she said, "If you all could really perform the first part of the task unflinchingly, no matter who bes my groom the others can marry my sisters, and just so you know, we are all untainted." she pointed to a pavilion nearby where a lot of Aphroditic women stood gazing at the guys and whispering something to each other now and then. Some even waved to them. This was enough stimnt for them.


    Ronald said, "Let''s conquer this ce." and hisckeys nodded.


    Mary left after shing them all an expectant smile. This shocked the guys.


    Tom spoke, "I don''t mind spending my whole life just to have one hour of her life"


    Jared sneered, "I will do that for 30 minutes."


    Chris spoke, "I will do that also but not just her, her sisters."


    Ronald said, "Brothers, the time hase when we all conquer these beauties and live a blissful life."


    They all cheered inside the illusion while in reality, they looked like they were all just standing there in the cave with a vignt expression on their faces.


    ...


    Inside the illusion, on the podium where they stood came an old man who introduced himself as the royal priest of Antis, the group of hooligans then bowed to him earning themselves a nod.


    The priest then turned to the crowd of men below and said in a normal voice, "These guests are the nominal candidates of princess Mary''s future grooms. As long as one of them seeds, he will be married to the princess, and if all of them passed, then the princess will select who do they all want to Mary. Now show them how to take the test. For Anta."


    "For Anta." a cry shook the sky, and the men raised their butter knives and undid their dhotis. They were now buck naked and before the boys on the podium could discern anything, these men shed down in a synced motion.


    SLASH!


    They cut down their ''ding ding dongs'' with no hesitation and did not make a sound. The boys on the podium were shocked and felt their souls sucked out of them. They all exchanged nces, but just when they were about to flee, rays of light descended from the sky and the men below the podium were all showered in it. Soon there ''ding ding dongs'' grew back. Their physiques were enhanced at a visible pace. This sight left the boy even more confused. They turned to face the royal priest.


    The old man then said, "This is a test by our god Poseidon. When one seeds he blesses them and their genitals also grow back. We all have gone through this test and all received the blessing of the god." throughout this process his voice was calm and his face had a smile.


    The boys exchanged nces and after watching the phenomena in front of them, they believed it to be real. The royal priest then said, "You can close your eyes and before you sh you can chant, "For the strength of Poseidon. That will help you abandon every distraction. Since you are all blessed, warriors please use your own spiritual energy to form des. Warriors of Antis cannot practice spirit that is why we rely on metal knives."


    The boys were hesitant and looked at each other, just when they were about to give up some sweet voices yelled, "We are waiting for you, husband."


    The boys turned and saw all those aphroditic women waving at them, with their eyes filled with expectations. They nodded and hardened their hearts.


    They closed their eyes and undid their pants. They raised their hands. Their respective spiritual energies gathered and formed des. They yelled, "For the strength of Poseidon."


    SLASH!


    After the silence of initial moments, they all issued cries of agony.


    ARGHHH!!!


    Neo who was watching from outside gulped and the hair on his neck stood up. He could not imagine what kind of illusion made these guys cut off their penis.


    The boys inside the cave fell, holding their crotches. Ronald opened his eye with great effort and when he saw that the surrounding area is no longer the underwater paradise, he yelled, "Lies."


    He wanted to rush out of the cave and find the one who did it and tear him to pieces, but the pain made him roll on the ground like a worm. Shroud was ordered by You Xi Wang to go inside the cave and wake up Lara Michel. The Night upper followed the instructions and using shadows came under Lara and licked her cheeks a bit. He masterfully avoided being caught in the video frame. That was innate instincts of a Night Hound.


    "Mmm, Young Master Colt, you are so naughty," Lara mumbled while she was unconscious, and as if a bolt of lightning hit her she sat upright remembering how she was knocked out by a burly boy. She checked around and saw her four friends rolling on the ground with their hands on their crotch, which was bleeding profusely.


    She rushed towards Ronald Colt and asked him, "Young master, we were attacked. What happened to you." her expression was that of panic.


    Ronald replied, "Get me some medicine to stop this pain."


    "Yes." Lara moved like sh and opened her storage, she took out some herbs and mashed them together. Then carefully she put some of them under Ronald Colt''s tongue and repeated the same thing to others. A few minutester their pain eased and they managed to sit up looking at their ''ding ding dongs'' on the ground they felt aggrieved and enraged. Lara also saw their penises on the ground and covered her mouth not daring to utter a single sound. It was only then she felt something wrong with her Holo-Phone.


    She checked and saw that her Holo-phone recorded the entire thing. She closed the recorder and just then they were all tranqed by a sniper-rifle and fell unconscious.

 Chapter 88: Enslaved Prince.

    Chapter 88: Enved Prince.


    The group inside the cave fell down unconscious. After a few minutes, You Xi Wang entered the cave with Neo supporting him on the side. The one who snipped all of them with the tranquilizers was none other than You Xi Wang. Neo went back to the ce he wasying to attack the group and brought him here.


    At this moment, You Xi Wang looked pale. His eyes were filled with vein patterns. The illusion Maya cast by borrowing his soul power was abined result of her illusion and You Xi Wang''s soul spell. These two were not so strong yet to cast something that big on their own. Maya, Luna, and Shroud came to their side as they watched the two boys entering the cave. You Xi Wang sat down on the ground and panted slightly.


    He said, "Neo, first copy send the video from this girl''s Holo-phone in the data-coin." Data coin worked just like any other external hard disk, but just like the advanced technology in Metropia this tiny non-significant-looking gadget also got a makeover and became ''tap and store''.


    The principle behind tap and store was simple, you select the file you want to copy and tap the coin on the device the file is on and Tada it will suck the file off of that device and create a copy. The storage device looked like a coin. Easy to keep and easy to use. Neo nodded and acted swiftly. He controlled Lara''s hand and operated her Holo-phone, and stored the video inside the data-coin.


    You Xi Wang observed the face of Ronald Colt and his gang. He stood up and ced his hand on their heads one after another, and with the help of his system, he imprinted them with seals. Except for Ronald Colt, none of these guys were dark dwellers and indulged in heinous activities for fun.


    This made You Xi Wang feel more irritated after discovering this. He manipted their memories and made them forget about how they cut their dicks off. The system made seals in a way that as long as You Xi Wang focused his soul power, he will appear in the dreams of these people and issuemands and they will follow thosemands with noints.


    It was just like aputer executing a program. Onceunched the machine will follow the orders of the administrator andplete the task, but since these guys were humans, they came with some perks that machines did not have. After the sealing wasplete You Xi Wang gestured Neo to help him get back to the hideout and he asked the pups to remove all their traces. These wolf pups were super smart and followed the orderpletely. They left without leaving a trace.


    This whole event was sessful because You Xi Wang used his utmost to exploit the loopholes in the Council systems. Otherwise, the tracking feature of the tokens was good enough to have them called in front of the council to answer why did they carry out such actions against their fellow students.


    Neo carried You Xi Wang, back to the hideout on his back and the pups followed. When they reached their hideout, Neo first entered and closed the cave entrance and sat You Xi Wang down.


    Yuki who was now feeling relieved walked up to him and asked with an anxious expression, "Xi Wang, what happened? Are you okay?"


    You Xi Wang had a paleplexion and with a weak voice, he replied, " I cast a soul spell which left me exhausted. I will sleep for a bit. You guys will take care and be careful." with this said, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


    The system has notified him when he was casting the Soul-spell that even with Maya''s support he will put a strain on his soul energy and will need to sleep for 24 hours, although unlike thest time when he forcefully used the same method, this time he used this method by his own will and Maya carried half of his burden. Since Maya was fifty percent creditor in this deed. She came over his chest and curled up in a ball to sleep and restore her health.


    You Xi Wang''s body started emitting a golden hue just likest time. That meant his body will now be self cultivating. Maya who wasying over his chest also benefitted from this. The three others turned to Neo and asked him about what happened there. Thetter could only describe the incident word to word how he witnessed it.


    He spoke with a sigh, "These people really did not want to live. If not, because this is apetition, Bro Wang would have killed them brutally. But right now they are more miserable."


    Fenny spoke, "For real?"


    Neo only nodded his head as he sat down on the ground. An spoke, "They had iting. Xiao Wang will kill the entire world for his friends and family. We all know this, but we also know that Xiao Wang hates shady people too. So regardless of whoever it is, they will pay once he catches them."


    Yuki nodded and changed the topic.


    "What do we do now? Today is the fifth day of the assessment, and I do not think our points are enough to get a high rank in the zone? Should we just stay here as Xi Wang needs rest?" this was her question.


    Fenny shook her head, "We raid people. The time is short and many people have already been eliminated. We need to use this time and don''t worry about Xi Wang. He will be fine."


    Neo asked, "How do we approach this aim, then? Bro Wang is injured, this will affect our formations."


    Fenny shook her head and said, "We have pups. We will cope up with it. Also, the method this time will be distractions. The pups will attack one guy in a pair and when the others try to support, another pair will counter. The third step will be us. An all-out attack. Let''s go, we have little time."


    The group started preparing and just as the evening arrived, the four humans and four wolf pups left the cave. They made sure that the cave is closed and secure. They erased all their traces. This location could be seen as the needle in the haystack now, and only the wolf pups with an extra keen smelling sense can backtrack here or a human with soul cultivation, that were hard to find, especially since the area had been cordoned off by the council.


    While the Phantoms were raiding people with all their might and skills to ensure a good score. Inside the cave hideout where Ronald Colt and the others were lying unconscious, another team from Croma city academy arrived and when they looked at the scene in front of them they were bbergasted. They quickly used the token to attract the invigtor''s attention and sent the five people for medical treatments.


    In the medical science of Metropia, nothing is left uncured and chopped ding ding dongs were no exceptions either, the only drawback was they will be shorter and less sturdy after the procedure. There were some methods for the iron pir to gain its former glory, but that will take a decade at the least, add or subtract two-three years.


    ...


    Mirai no Kaiden, the edifice of The Mirai Group, top floor. Edward Colt was busy conducting a meeting of executives to counter against the productsunched by Tianlong Group, suddenly received a phone call. He was irritated by this, he thought, ''Who dares to interrupt me.''


    He lifted his hand and saw the caller ID belonged to the council medical services. He recalled his son was out for a school assessment and this made his heart trembled a bit. Thinking something happened to his son, he forgot his arrogance and picked up the call.


    "Am I talking to Mr. Colt? Father of student Ronald Colt?" the staff on the other side asked with a soft voice.


    Edward Colt felt his heart skip a beat, thinking his spectionse true. He forced himself to calm down and asked the staff in a calm voice, "Yes, it is Edward Colt. What happened to my son?"


    The staff replied, "Your son has been afflicted by genital amputation. He was found unconscious with four of his team members in their cave hideout. You are requested to arrive at re City Hospital toplete some formalities, and we advise you to arrive as soon as possible." the call was disconnected after the staff finished speaking.


    Edward Colt felt his world-shaking when he heard that his son suffered from Genital Amputation. He did not dare dy and left the conference hall directly without uttering a word to the executives. The meeting ended.


    ...


    The moon was about to rise when the group made it''s way back to the cave, Fenny and the others were extremely vignt. After Neo manipted the cliff wall, the team entered the cave and was shocked by the sight in front of their eyes.

 Chapter 89: Backed off.

    Chapter 89: Backed off.


    The group was shocked because You Xi Wang was levitating in the air. Yuki rushed to his side and saw Maya growling at her to stop her. Her intention was clear, not to disrupt whatever was happening. You Xi Wang was undergoing another minor upgrade in his soul cultivation. The pressure inside the hide-out was increasing with every passing moment. An hurriedly asked Neo to close the opening and used his spiritual energy to lit up the dark cave.


    They did not want the pressure to leak out of the cave, lest it attracts some unwanted elements to disturb them. As time passed, the group found the pressure more unbearable. They wanted to move but found themselves totally bound by the pressureing from You Xi Wang''s body. The wolf pups were a different story altogether. They were sitting near You Xi Wang and curled up together. Their eyes were closed, and they seemed to have been meditating. The golden light radiating from You Xi Wang was nourishment for them to temper their growing physiques and improve their bloodlines.


    Fenny saw this and slowly with great effort moved near You Xi Wang and sat down in a lotus position. She started meditating. After a few minutes, her ragged breathing calmed down and became even. The pressure was now not grinding on her but blending with her cultivation. She analyzed and opened her eyes.


    "You guys,e and sit near Xi Wang. The pressureing from him is unique. It is helping my cultivation grow. Come quickly." with that, she closed her eyes again and fell into a meditative state. Yuki followed her instantly and came near You Xi Wang with An and Neo in tow. Neo was sitting near the cave entrance, which made him the furthest and thetest to reach You Xi Wang. After a few minutes, they all realized that what Fenny said was correct and this pressure was a good thing.


    A couple of hours passed by when the pressure started decreasing. The group felt it and opened their eyes. They looked towards their hovering friend with anticipation in their eyes. You Xi Wang''s body gradually descended on the ground. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around at his friends. He smiled at them. Maya came to snuggle her head into his cheek. He gently stroked her fur with an affectionate smile on his face.


    Yuki came to his side. She held his face and kissed him forcefully. You Xi Wang was shocked by this action of hers. But being a guy, he responded to her advances in full fervor. Fenny on the other side crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor, waiting for them to stop.


    After 40 seconds when the couple separated, they heard a pping sound. They turned and saw Fenny pping her hands with a sweet smile on her face. They both felt chills in their heart. Thest time she did this was when she found them gazing into each other''s eyes for too long, so she just glued their nose together with ultra glue. Ultra glue took an hour for the doctors to take off from their noses.


    You Xi Wang hurriedly covered his lips and spoke, "Momma, she forced herself on me. It is not my fault." he was so scared of Fenny that he did not even think twice and threw Yuki under the bus.


    Yuki did not feel bad but also did the same, "Momma Fenny, I swear, it was him who kept ongoing." they both could kill themselves for each other and destroy the world for a smile on the other''s face but for Fenny, they would sacrifice the other person with no hesitation.


    Fenny sneered and said, "Oh, so you remember that I am present here? I thought, I am invisible. Come show me how you both were licking and sucking each other like dogs. Show me, my babies." her tone was very soft and warm but this warmth was deadly. Neo and An slowly crept away from them, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.


    Yuki and You Xi Wang kept shaking their heads. Fenny sighed, "To think my kids were such wanton bitches. They have no shame in exchanging their saliva when momma is present. I wonder if they jump on to hump each other every time they are alone. Neo, you know about beasts, right? What do you call those lustful pups with pink fur?"


    Neo replied, "Cupid Dingo, momma."


    "Ah, yes cupid dingo, those pups mate all year round and their poption is so fast-growing that it is scary. I wonder if Yuki will produce kids on yearly basis too." Fenny spoke in a weak voice. Her expressions were as if she was really scared.


    There was no sound inside the hideout for a few seconds and then Fenny yelled, "You horny ball sacks and cunts. Do you not know that some people do not have a happening sex life? Next time I find you hoes performing PDA, I am castrating you. Do you get me?"


    "Yes, momma." Yuki and You Xi Wang replied in sync. The reason Fenny always reacted like this was not that she was jealous or anything, but because she had found no one and despite being open-minded and all she was quite conservative on the inside so PDA was something she never liked.


    After the situation calmed down, they talked about how You Xi Wang did what he did, and he told them everything about his soul prowess. He did not feel any need to hide any of his skills from them. They were all very touched by this disy of brotherhood by him. They decided to never betray each other and even swore a heavenly oath for this. An narrated how they raided when You Xi Wang was asleep. They also told him they are known as the phantoms now.


    You Xi Wang knew that they had a nickname but did not understand that it was so popr now. They rested and headed out to raid when the dawn arrived. You Xi Wang took the lead, and the raids became easier to conduct. They raided 6 squads in three hours. Their points started soaring and their name started climbing the list quickly. They would stop and rest as they did in the past. The group totally owned the sneak attack method.


    You Xi Wang and his team were now in the top 10. This shocked everyone when they learned about this. It was the secondst day of the assessment when this team showed its prowess. The presiding invigtors were very calm and kept on watching the show. This was very normal that some teams will show off their prowess at the end of the examination. The group continued to hunt regardless of the time and reached the top 5 by the evening.


    Now with one day left, there were only five groups left inside the area of examination. You Xi Wang and his friends did not run through the area to search for the teams butid a trap any genius or expert won''t avoid.


    They set off a re that could be seen from the whole assessment field. The re attracted the fourth and third group on the list, and they were handled by You Xi Wang and his team with some effort. You Xi Wang and Neo got injured while Yuki and Fenny had some slight flesh wounds. But they won those two groups and taking over the umted number of student tokens they were now the first team on the list and they left the region again to sit down and hide inside the cliffs and hills.


    You Xi Wang and others rested for a day before healingpletely. The assessment ended. You Xi Wang and his team received the top result with humble smiles on their faces. They were all escorted to the hospital for a mandatory check, where they came across Edward Colt, who was also inside the hospital to meet his eunuch son. You Xi Wang and Edward Colt came across each other and the wind inside the hospital went turbulent.


    Edward Colt spoke to him with a sneering face, "I see the You family''s Young master is also taking part in this harmful exam?"


    You Xi Wang stopped and his face became calm. He spoke, "You have a problem with that?"


    Edward was surprised and then again sneered, "Such a high tone, are you not afraid of my guards?"


    You Xi Wang walked towards him and said, "You really do not want to provoke me. You minion of the death sect. I will put you in the coffin one day." his voice was slow and only the two of them could listen to each other.


    Hearing his words, Edwards''s pupils dted to needles, and he asked, "I will tear you apart."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Come and try. Dark dweller."


    Edward found out that this guy knew his secrets, which if disclosed will be the means of his destruction. He backed off and red at You Xi Wang with eyes full of killing intent. You Xi Wang also did not back out and red back. After a few minutes, Edward snorted and left the area.

 Chapter 90: Divide and Conquer.

    Chapter 90: Divide and Conquer.


    You Xi Wang was irritated and decided to give him a vor of his own medicine this scum a lesson. Despite being fit, heined of having a headache. The hospital staff led him to a room where a simple bed was arranged for patients to rest if their ailments are not serious. He wanted to see Edward Colt when his son acts against him.


    You Xi Wangid down and closed his eyes to focus on the seal he left inside Ronald Colt and his friend''s soul sea. After a few breaths, he stabilized the connection between him and the soul ves. He issued amand which they had toplete without fail. He would just have to sit down the lines. After issuing themand, he sat up and walked out of the ward, and head towards where the group was kept.


    ...


    Inside the operation theatre, the doctors were done connecting thest neurons and were sealing the wound. The process was performed in a blink of an eye. The doctor asked the support staff to shift the patient in the ward for observation as they had to perform the same process on others too. You Xi Wang patiently waited outside the ward. Edward Colt who sat there spoke first.


    "Young Master You, what brings you here?" his tone was nd.


    You Xi Wang replied with a calm voice, "My friend is also injured. You should better focus on your own things."


    Edward Colt raised his eyebrow and asked, "Oh, you have a friend in my son''s team?"


    You Xi Wang did not bother to reply but kept sitting there with his arms crossed, ignoring Edward Colt and his facial changes. Edward Colt was, after all, a cultivator of the primal soul realm, so of course, he was treated with respect everywhere he went. Even You Xi Wang''s parents gave him face in public, but this kid totally ignored him, this was enough to piss him off.


    Soon the four patients were sent inside the observation ward. The doctor came out and started talking about the health condition of the four and he left after that. Edward was about to enter the ward when the sound of hasty footsteps stopped him. He turned this left and at the end of the corridor stood three women and three men. These people were the parents of Jared Crow, Tom Benedict, and Chris Steiner.


    Alice Benedict, 46 years old, a charming woman with auburn hair and scarlet eyes. She was averagely pretty, beside her was her husband and father to Tom Benedict. Mr. Neil Shanon, 47 years old, the face was just an older version of his son but they had different qualities. The Benedict family was female-oriented. That exins why their son had his mother''s name.


    They all came outside the room. They wanted to enter the room but the staff denied as the patients were unconscious and needed rest. They made some all talk with Edward Colt. Alice who was sitting in the back noticed You Xi Wang. She wanted to ask who this boy is, but her words were cut short when there was a loud cry from the inside of the ward where their sins were. They rushed in and found their sons bawling.


    You Xi Wang also followed but kept silent. The parents consoled their sons and asked why they were crying. The three boys pointed towards Ronald Colt and told their parents how he wanted to achieve great power and asked them to follow his way and that their strength will skyrocket. The price of strength was the sacrifice of their ding ding dongs. They all denied at first, and then Ronald convinced them that ''it'' will grow back. Thus they cut it off for the sake of brotherhood.


    The three families were shocked and looked towards Edward Colt. They wanted to curse him and retaliate, but Ronald woke up and started sobbing.


    Edward Colt asked, "Ron, what happened to you, my son?"


    Ronald replied, "Dad, I don''t want to do this anymore. Please spare my friends. They might be naughty but we are all just teenagers, please spare them." his words confused the three families, and Alice Benedict stepped up. She grabbed Ronald by his cor and lifted him.


    She spoke with amanding tone, "What do you mean? Speak clearly or you might as well don''t speak at all."


    Ronald Answered her with tears in his eyes, "I am guilty of deceiving my friends, Aunty. My father asked me to convenience them all for the fake sacrifice. This way he would y the fellow victim card and use you all to attack our savior here."


    Darell Steiner asked him in a deep voice, "You mean to say that it was your father who wanted you to read our boys and make them cut off their genitals?"


    Ronald spoke in a grieving tone, "Yes, Uncle Darell, he threatened to kill me if I failed the task. I am sorry. I beg you to save me, uncle, please. Save us all."


    Elena Moore then said, "Edward Colt what was your motive behind this?"


    Edward Colt was shocked at first and then calmed down as the thing progressed. Now that Elena asked him about this he said, "This is all a lie. I would never do that. Plus, do you not know how much I love my son."


    The room descended into silence and just when they were all suspicious about the whole thing, You Xi Wang spoke, "Jared, I told you this in the beginning, right?"


    His words attracted everyone''s attention, and they saw this handsome teenager standing in the room and was talking to Jared Crow. Anthony Crow was also there, and he asked, "Boy, introduce yourself and tell us, What do you mean? But be sure you do not lie or I will make you regret ever being born."


    You Xi Wang sped his fist with his other hand and bowed down slightly without taking off his gaze away from Anthony Crow. The crow family, the Benedict family, and the Steiner family were all righteous families, and they supported The Council in fighting against the dark dwellers, it''s just that their sons were badly influenced by Ronald Colt and Edward Colt.


    You Xi Wang spoke with ease, "Sir, my name is You Xi Wang. Master of the You Family in Silica City. I met Jared when we were both ying a game on Metr. After I got to know that he wasing for the assessment with his team I expressed that I want to meet him. Jared was also interested, but before the n could bepleted, he told me that Ronald wants to take them to a secret ce for some strengthening ritual. I asked him to be careful, but he just said that Ronald was like a brother to him and things will be fine. Then after the examination, I heard this news, so I came here."


    The three families were surprised to see that this young boy was the master of the You Family. They knew about You Family as Tianlong Technologies was apany they were familiar with. They also heard the news that the patriarch and the matriarch of the You Family passed away sometime back.


    Alice then asked You Xi Wang, "Why did you think something bad would happen?"


    He smiled sadly and said, "Thest person to meet my parents was this man Edward Colt, Ma''am. They visited him for a meeting and never came back to me. This was an ident, but I cannot get myself to trust this person."


    "BOY, DON''T YOU SPOUT NONSENSE FROM THAT SHITTY MOUTH, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT I WILL TEAR IT APART?" Edward roared, he was afraid that You Xi Wang might enclose his secrets to these guys, and then everything will be over.


    You Xi Wang did not back off and calmly said, "Did I use you of something, Mr. Colt? Remember that the world might be afraid of you, but I am not. I only meant that I do not trust you. You are a bad omen for my family. Nothing more, nothing less. Try tearing off my mouth and see if the council will take action against you."


    This confidence in You Xi Wang''s tone was something none of the elders expected from him, and this left a good impression on them. Anthony turned to Edward Colt and spoke, "Without fire, there is no smoke, Mr. Colt. You better act like an elder you are."


    Ronald spoke, "I swear in the name of my blood that, whatever happened to us is because of my father, Edward Colt." his blood oath was enough evidence. This was a bypass that You Xi Wang came up with, whatever he did to these guys eventually started because of Edward Colt. The three families inside the room all now believed that it was Edward Colt''s action to make his sonmit such a deed.


    Ronald Colt again spoke, ''This man does not love me. He controls me. He wanted to acquire Tianlong Technologies but was unsessful and when he heard that You Xi Wang wasing to the same area, he made me do this if I cannot find him and kill him. This way he will y a victim card and get you all to attack against his family."


    Edward was shocked pale by the wordsing out of his son''s mouth. Neil Shanon, who was quiet till now, asked, "Then why are you confessing now?"


    Ronald sobbed and tears fell down his eyes, "Uncle, I cannot see my brothers like this. They all have saved me many times on our trips and examination. I truly realized how much they care about me when they did not hesitate to do this following my words. Please forgive me you all." he was a great actor and even bowed down to them from the bed. You Xi Wang never expected the soul seals to have this kind of effect.


    Anthony turned to Edward and said, "You better get out of here, or I might lose my control. Also, I am backing off from investing in any projects of The Mirai group."


    Alice Benedict and Darell Steiner also took simr decisions and backed out from being the investors of Mirai Group. You Xi Wang was thrilled to hear this, but he did not show it on his face. He turned to them all and said, "Sirs, Madam, I will take my leave, the airship will depart shortly, also please take care of them, and if you evere to Silica City, I will be d to y the host for you." he slightly bowed and left the room. He left a good impression on the six people. A sincere junior respecting his seniors and also did not take initiative to make friends with them by calling them, uncle or aunty.


    You Xi Wang scored a big win this time and was ecstatic.


    [Master.] the system''s voice rang in his ears.


    ''Yes.'' he asked.


    [You are such a cunning bitch, hahaha...] the systemplimented You Xi Wang in a vulgar manner but this brought a satisfied smile on You Xi Wang''s face.

 Chapter 91: Dinner Date With Sisters.

    Chapter 91: Dinner Date With Sisters.


    You Xi Wang boarded the airship heading home with a dazzling smile. His handsome and blissful appearance caused some girls to have their hearts start racing while the guys just wanted to rip his face off with a scythe. He came inside the airship and sat down beside An and Neo. The inside of the airship was more like amercial airline, just way too spacious than the carriers on the earth. This world was simply extravagance materialized.


    Neo Paul tried to hold in his curiosity but just after two minutes he failed and asked You Xi Wang.


    "Bro Wang, why are you indy killer mode. Leave some dough for your brothers too, man. By the way, what is the reason behind this smile of yours." he gave away his motive after some teasing.


    An on the other side shook his head and said, "Neo, calm down. He will tell us when he wants to." this time Neo shook his head and thought inside his heart, ''Could it be that bro An is possessed by some old ancestor. That must not be the case. Howe his temper became like that of an old and sensible man. I just hope he does not die a virgin. God, please help him.''


    If An were to know that his musclehead brother was having such thoughts he might bust a fuse and spank the former''s butt to kingdome. You Xi Wang just sighed with the pleasure he felt recalling how Edward Colt looked like. This incident ensured quite a few things in his future.


    The first, Edward Colt suffered such a severe blow at the hands of his dear son.


    Second, his rtionship with the three families, The Crows, The Benedicts, and the Steiners turned sour. Not only on the personal front but also the professional front as the three families pulled out from investing in his ventures.


    Third, The Crow family was known for going the extra mile to help their friends, You Xi Wang can be said to have gained the friendship of The Crow family. The Benedict Family was the same and the Steiners were known for the brutality their enemies face on standing against them.


    Fourth, the fact of You Liangxin and Chen Limao having an ident on the way back from an unfruitful meeting with Edward Colt did nt the seed of suspicion. If You Family suffered any personal grievance it will be pinned at Edwar Colt. So a few months will be now smooth sailing and his sister cane out in the public eye. But You Xi Wang did not turn a blind eye to the potential danger in the shadows. After all who knows what kind of cards this dark dwelling parasite had.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I just put my hand inside Edward Colt''s gut and twisted it inside out. Hahaha... and I discovered that this dark bug is a coward who can only harm you from the shadows. But that is also his skill, after all, catching someone off-guard requires a cunning fox brain."


    After that, he exined to them both what he did, and when he was done, instead ofughing his friends were feeling rather bbergasted. The airship moved through the void (empty space in the atmosphere/ sky, etc;) at a stable speed, and soon the group touched down on the asphalt of Silica City. All of the First-year students from the Silica academy were gathered at the airport (Well, not everything needs a different name,).


    The faculty of the academy was also here to take custody of their students from the council executives. The family members were also there to check on their children. Amidst the gaze of School faculty and the family members, the council officials guided the students out after setting their Holo-phones back to the way they were before the examination. You Xi Wang and his team all followed the executioners in a disciplined manner, like soldiers.


    Celestia was sitting on Roberts''s shoulder to have a better view of the situation. This little girl was so loveable that even the Iron-Faced butler of You Xi Wang sumbed and let her be willful with him this time. Celestia was a sensible girl and the elders in the family taught her good values. So she knew how to behave. She turned out to be very disciplined as well. She was bobbing her small head up and down and was eagerly waiting for You Xi Wang.


    "Muu, Uncle Robert, why is big brother still not here?" the doll-faced girl pouted her rosy lips looking very adorable.


    "Aww, who wronged my little Celes." a voice and affectionate voice came from behind and You Xi Wang approached them wearing his ck Battlesuit. Celestia jumped down from Robert''s shoulders. This girl forgot that she is not yet very proficient in bncing her body and she twisted her ankle and was about to fall on her face when You Xi Wang came to her rescue and caught her in his arms.


    The girl had water gathering in her eyes from the pain of twisting her ankle. You Xi Wang could not see her like this and channeled his spirit energy through her ankle and the pain faded away, the ankle was as if it was never twisted. Celes knew how her pain went away and she spoke in a small voice, "Sorry to be a mess big brother."


    You Xi Wang pinched her cute as a button nose and shook his head, "I know you jumped because you wanted to meet me right? Next time be careful. My Celes will not make the same mistake twice, right?"


    Celes vigorously nodded her small head, and let You Xi Wang carry her in his arms. Then You Xi Wang headed to see his school faculties to inform them about leaving for home. On the way to meet his teacher in charge a lot of students from the other sses, who were either spared by him or were helped during the exam congratted him foring out on the top, while the parents of the students also came forward and made introductions, they all knew that You Xi Wang was known as the Maestro and he had inherited the Tianlong Technologies after his parents passed away.


    Maddisonpleted the formalities and then asked him to report to the school in the morning the next day. His team also followed suit and left home with their families. Fenny was tagging along with You Xi Wang as her parents were busy working at thepany and Yuki followed him because she wanted to talk to his sister about the insights she had gained during the examinations. You Zhichi was a girl with a cultivation base of the sixth level of the spirit formation. Her skills were a force to be reckoned with. She was also capable in the way of the sword and had achieved Sword intent at the age of 19. She was 21 now so her skills should have improved.


    Aftering back home Celestia was speaking less and less. You Xi Wang noticed this and asked her, "What happened Celes, do you want to say something?"


    The girl looked into his eyes with some hesitation in her eyes. You Xi Wang smiled at her and encouraged her to speak her mind. The girl said, "Big brother when you were gone. Uncle Haoren took kiki and lucy out to eat. He invited me as well but I said, I will go with big brother. Can we go?"


    You Xi Wang caressed her head and said, "Okay, let''s go and eat outside today. Okay? Let me change my clothes and take a bath first okay? Who else should we invite?"


    Celestia shook her head and said, "No others, they don''t let Celes have ice cream."


    You Xi Wangughed and said, "Okay, just you, me, and big sister Zhichi. Is that okay with you?"


    Celes bloomed into a big smile and nodded her head and she also rushed to tell You Zhichi about the n and change her clothes. You Xi Wang took a shower and changed into his favorite white shirt and blue jeans. He waited for Celes and his big sister to arrive by dealing with some tasks in the family, listening to some reports, and passing down some instructions.


    You Zhichi was busy discussing things with Yuki and when Celes came to tell her about this n. She started multi-tasking, she chose a white top and blue jeans. She would always twin her clothes with her brother when going for a casual dinner.But the surprising thing was that the little Celestia was also wearing the same colorbination of clothes. When the two of them entered the main gathering hall of the family, the three of them looked at each other and startedughing.


    You Xi Wang asked Robert to drive them to a ce called The Hearty Kitchen. This ce was newly opened and he got to know about it from a cousin of his. He met inside the gathering hall during the time he was listening to the reports. This ce had a rule, that if the guest could cook something new then they will be forever VIPs of the ce. The dishes in this world were somewhat ndpared to the Earth.

 Chapter 92: ICE ANGEL.

    Chapter 92: ICE ANGEL.


    The three people were very much at ease with each other and they enjoyed thepany. Before heading off to the restaurant they visited some small shops in the vicinity for some casual shopping. While You Zhichi was acting a lot more sensible, You Xi Wang and Celestia were like kids who were looking at everything with starry eyes. You Xi Wang got some small use, such as a hair trimmer that can help him groom himself, an egg-like object which can help the user mend up his shoces. The reason he bought all this was that he liked how the appearance of these products was different and some products were even something he could never have thought of.


    You Xi Wang held Celestia''s small hand and they both looked around excitedly. Soon after the trivia shopping, they reached the entrance of the famed restaurant. A five-floor high building covered in various graffiti stood in front of them. The building was shaped like an oval, entirely covered in ss panels and every ss panel had a different graffiti. Some were abstract while some were ssical in style. This disy of art was just as unique as the name and the regtions of this ce.


    ording to what You Xi Wang had learned by searching the Metr and asking his peer, the first floor was open for all. The second floor was also open for all but it was more costly. The third floor and above were open only for those who could create something new on the spot. The unique invention. The higher floor your membership. Once you sessfully invent something new you will forever be a VIP patron of this ce. The VIP membership was distributed in three tiers. The lowest level of VIP was Bronze, Silver, and gold.


    There was only one Gold ss member till now, the owner himself, who came up with this idea. The establishment had aputer ced at the entrance of the building, where the guest would sit down and describe their idea and if possible demonstrate it as well, to help the system assess it more correctly.


    You Xi Wang spoke to his sister, "Big Sis, do we try to put in something or do we go to the normal floors?"


    You Zhichi pondered for a while and said, "Well, you do it. Since you cane up with the guitar. You can think of something new too. If it gets us a membership then fine otherwise the normal floors are open anyway. Go on."


    Celestia also cheered, "Yes, big brother can do it."


    You Xi Wang patted her small head and walked up to the attendant and said, "Excuse me, can I try to put my idea forward?"


    The attendant was a red-haired girl, her hair was dyed and tied into a neat bun, she had a pierced lower lip and wore rouge on her eyelids. She was wearing a neat white shirt and a crimson waistcoat. She had a charming figure, worth gazing at. You Xi Wang who hade across women even more beautiful than this attendant was immune to her charm and his gaze was stable and he did not show any covetous intention towards her.


    This attitude of his raised his impression in the girl''s eyes. She nodded and led him to theputer where a guest could input their ideas. You Xi Wang sat down on the chair and started operating theputer. He attracted the attention of the passing crowd and some of them stood by to sate their curiosity and watch the result of You Xi Wang''s effort.


    Someone in the crowd spoke up, "A few days ago, I came across an invention. It is a musical instrument. I researched and found out that it was created by a high school student. I wonder if this boy is the same as that guy." his casualment started other people to start specting about You Xi Wang''s invention.


    ''Yeah, the guitar sounds very pleasant and can be yed alone too. My daughter got me to buy it and the smile on her face was worth it." another man spoke.


    This man was apanied by a friend of his who asked, "Jacob, how much does it cost to buy the guitar, My son is also asking me to buy it and I forgot about it. You know about it so you better get me a good deal."


    Jacob smiled and said, "It costs 500 silver credits. Although the price seems to be too much, ites with a spare set of strings, a teaching manual. You can learn to y the guitar by yourself. They also provide you maintenance support for the item for free, this is limited for the next three years. Though they do not cover any superficial damage, they will indeed rectify the basic issues encountered over time. Also, if you are unable to buy it in one go then you can pay in installments. You get some other offers if you buy more expensive models."


    His friend said in surprise, "This deal sounds good. I want to hear my boy sing a song one day. Let''s go get one after watching this young man."


    They nodded and some of the other people who heard them could not help but ask about this musical instrument and they came over to discuss. This could be said free advertisement. You Xi Wang was unaware of all this and kept his focus limited on theputer and half of his mind on his sister who stood beside him. He was very vignt ever since their car left the You Family mansion. Robert was also beside them but who knows what might these dark dwellers do once they are yed with.


    After You Xi Wang was done inputting the information regarding his idea theputer asked him if he would like to demonstrate his idea on a practical level too. He asked the attendant if he could use the big artificial pond in the middle of the garden, in front of the restaurant? The attendant called her higher-ups who agreed on the condition that if You Xi Wang fails to get the membership then he should bear all the expenses to restore the pond to its original state.


    You Xi Wang agreed with no hesitation. He walked up to the pond with his sister and he said to her, "Big sis, can you freeze this pond, make the ice thick enough so that if I jump on, it won''t break."


    You Zhichi looked at him confused trying to figure out what good mighte out from freezing the pond. Still, since it was her brother who asked, the Celestial Saintess cast an ice spell, freezing the whole pond with a thickyer of Ice. You Xi Wang then asked her to make a blunt ice de on the soles of his shoes. The de was made in a way that it won''t cause friction when used to slide on the ice.


    You Xi Wang stood up holding his sister''s hand and took a step on the ice pond. He bent his knees with his toes facing inward and bnced himself on the surface of the ice pond. Then he pushed off his feet and shifted his weight from left to right. The onlookers were surprised and then intrigued to try the same thing and understand how it feels to do something like this.


    You Xi Wang ced both his feet on the surface and shifted his weight to a side and he looked like he was going to fall but on the contrary to this, he glided across the surface with the elegance of a go. His handsome face was lit up with a dazzling smile. He started moving fast and suddenly jumped up and turned his body in a full horizontal circle,nding on the floor with one foot and kept on sliding. This move was called a toe loop.


    Then he went on and performed a lutz, an axel, a flip, a salchow. All these moves looked very graceful, he stretched his hands and legs whilending or initiating the jump. The whole performance looked like a dance, his clothes were sticking close to his body to allow him less wind resistance, his hair fluttered on his face enhancing his appearance, he looked like an angel on the pond. Celestia was so excited that she was recording this whole performance with her Holo-Phone. The jumps were very difficult than they looked. After dancing for a couple of minutes, he came back to the side where his sister was standing.


    She held his hand and helped hime back to the normal ground. The whole crowd was stuck in a stupor. Even the breathing of the people was audible as if the breeze was blowing. Celestia started pping and thunderous cheering followed her ps. The crowd began to apuse in fervor. They all felt like a new world had opened to them after watching this performance. They came to respect this young boy.


    It was unknown who started the chant but the crowd was chanting, "ICE ANGEL! ICE ANGEL! ICE ANGEL!" You Xi Wang who heard this had a wry smile on his face, he was wondering if these people knew how cruel he could be to his enemies would they change his name to ICE DEMON.

    Chapter 93: Gold Member.


    While the crowd was going crazy after watching You Xi Wang''s performance, the person targeted to this awe was busy thinking what grade will he get. Although he preferred low-key, he did not mind attention as well. Celestia was jumping like a frog on a sugar rush. You Xi Wang patted her head and sat down by the side. His sister removed the ice spell she cast on his shoes and the pond. The ice in the pond melted just like it formed, instantaneously.


    You Zhichi affectionately fixed her younger brother''s hair and asked, "Xiao Wang, how did you do all those moves there? I don''t know but you are getting more and more hard to see through."


    You Xi Wang replied, "I got this idea from the footwork you practice in."


    You Zhichi spoke, "Maiden skip? but how is that rted to this?"


    You Xi Wang was about to reply when Celestia spoke, "AAAHHH, no wonder it looks so familiar. I remember when big sis Zhichi performs her sword maiden dance, she skips and turns in the air to sh."


    You Xi Wang pinched the little girl''s cheek gently and praised her, "Absolutely correct, who knew our family''s Celes is so smart."


    The little girl giggled and hugged You Xi Wang. She spoke, "Big brother, you have to teach Celes. That dance was so pretty. Celes also wants to be an Ice Angel." she looked very adorable and the two siblingsughed as they yed with the little girl. The system took more than ten minutes toe up with the result. It scanned the Metr for simr acts and when it found nothing matching the parameters, itpleted the task assigned.


    <em><strong>DING!!</strong></em>


    A notification sound rang out, sessfully attracting everyone''s attention. A mechanic apathetic sound rang out.


    <em>Assessmentplete: No previous traces found. The authentication of the proposed method is original. The result is GOLD. Congrattions guest on sessfully gaining GOLD membership of The Hearty Kitchen.</em>


    The crowd was stunned and then they all cheered. There has never been a GOLD membership other than the owner in the history of this restaurant. The system would always found some sort of trace or relevance by searching the Metr. It could be said that the reason behind people being unable toe up with new ideas was their limited desire to try new things. They were all satisfied with the development and convenience.


    You Xi Wang was not very surprised because he used an idea from the earth that is why there was no trace on Metr, and as for that made up inspiration, he told You Zhichi. It had two uses, first, it perfectly provided him a background and second, it made his sister happy. Although it could be said that the idea was inspired by a certain movement method it was not be found on the Metr. The Council forbids anyone from providing data regarding cultivation techniques on the Metr lest it is somehow acquired by the divergent elements of the world.


    There was nothing absolute and no one knew who among the normal looking people walking on the streets is a wicked dark dweller snake lurking in the wait of a loose moment to strike. This was why the still used the ancient jade card method to store the cultivation methods. Over that, the cultivation method of the maiden heart sutra was a secret art of the Chen family. So, no chance at all to find a reference over the Metr.


    The red-haired attendant came to You Xi Wang and bowed slightly in reverence, the attendant spoke, "Patron, please follow me. You and yourpanions can sit down and order the food while your membership card is being prepared."


    You Xi Wang nodded and then nced at his big sister. They then followed the attendant to the top floor in an elevator. On the way, they got to know that the attendant was called Ruby. The nameplimented her very well. Ruby is said to be an exotic gem and this girl certainly had an exotic charm to her. She guided You Xi Wang to the top floor and sat them on a table for three. This table was set to meet the requirement set by the guests of the restaurant.


    You Xi Wang asked Ruby to arrange a table only for these siblings and that they should not be disturbed by any unfamiliar guests. The gold level floor was indeed gold level floor. The decoration was unique and the ambiance was also veryfy. You Xi Wang sat down at the table along with his sisters they all looked around. The floor was decorated with lights of all shapes and sizes. the walls were covered in painting frames. Some were ssical, some were abstract. They werebeled, DO NOT TOUCH.


    After a few moments, Ruby came to the table and passed the menu card to the trio. The menu was filled with all sorts of dishes. Celestia tilted her head and looked at You Zhichi with a pout on her lips. You Zhichi understood that the little fairy was confused with so many options and ordered a sweet and sour chicken dish with gravy for her. You Xi Wang asked Ruby how the dishes would be cooked. She diligently fulfilled her task and exined all the things to You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang ordered a chicken tter which allowed him to sample all the highlighted chicken dishes avable in the restaurant for himself along with some light pasta and traditional Chinese noodles. You Zhichi also ordered a tter but she chose a burger and a carbonated orange-vored beverage to apany her. The food was served in just a few minutes.


    The trio was very much indulged in the taste. You Xi Wang could not help but pay thepliments to the chef via Ruby. The ingredients were all very fresh and the taste was not too overwhelming. He did share some of her food with Celes when she was done eating her dish. After the main course was done, the trio ordered pastries and ice creams for dessert. These three were certainly foodies. They did not look like they could eat so much but they left the dishes clean. You Xi Wang and his sister were taught by their mother since young to never waste even a bit of food, and Celestia was under You Zhichi''s care, who passed down the values to her.


    You Xi Wang was about to ask for the check when he noticed that Celestia wanted to say something. He asked her with a smile.


    "Celes, do you want to say something?"


    "Can I have another Ice cream? Granny Xin won''t let me eat more than one in a week." her voice was so pitiful that You Zhichi couldn''t help but pat her head and say, "I will ask granny to let you have two Ice creams okay?"


    Celestia looked at her with gratitude brimming in her gaze. She jumped down the chair and hugged You Zhichi. She was a kid who lost her family in a brutal massacre, she nearly died and lost hope in this world. If not for You Xi Wang, maybe she would have died a long ago. She was grateful for every bit of love they showered her with, the You Family never let her feel any grievance at all. They treated her just like their own, and this made Celestia also reciprocate their feelings. Though the family was uniformly strict with everyone when it came to education and well being. Granny Xin was a guardian angel for all the kids in the family but she was also a strict dictator when it came to discipline.


    Celestia loved to eat popsicle ice creams but once she suffered a toothache and her favorite delicacy was cut down to once a week. Now with You Zhichi''s word she wanted to cry but being the strong and smart girl she was, she just buried her face in her big sister''sp, while thetter kindly stroked her head. You Xi Wang smiled as he watched this scene and asked Ruby to get one more ice cream for the little fairy.


    The ice cream arrived and Celes ate with a content expression. You Xi Wang and You ZHichi discussed something regarding the office work and it was decided that You Xi Wang will go to the office on the weekends after school. He also prepared to take the ss promotion exam along with his team. His sister approved this and asked him to be careful when he entered the senior year''s ss before time.


    He also told her about the confrontation with Edward Colt and the three righteous families of the Croma city. They were not worried about someone listening to their conversation as the space around the table could be manipted to be sealed or unsealed at the will of the guest. This was the treatment reserved for the highest grade VIPs. You Xi Wang liked this very much. He asked Ruby about how many guests can he bring along with him. To this, he was told that the maximum limit he can invite is ten people. They will then be given a private box table to have their meal.


    After Celestia was done eating the ice cream You Xi Wang asked for the check, he was very satisfied with the service provided to him by the restaurant and left a good tip for Ruby. Robert ate his food on a table slightly away from their table. He was invited to join them but he insisted on eating alone as he was on guard duty and it was not very preferable to eat and ease his guard in a public ce with the kids. The trio could only give up the notion under his stern gaze. Robert was a responsible uncle to them. He was recruited by You Liangxin after he left the defense ask forces and was in need of work. He knew nothing other than guarding andbat but still, he was taken in and gradually learned how to be more humane.


    The trio then departed for home after a hearty meal. In the vehicle, You Xi Wang decided his next step, to gain power, while Celestia was busy learning how to upload videos on the Metr from You Zhichi.


    The two girls did not know that this video will set a new trend in Metropia.

 Chapter 94: Prize Of Hard work.

    Chapter 94: Prize Of Hard work.


    You Xi Wang came back home where he can lower his guard. The close few were gathered in his room. Emily, You Naixin, Chen Qianbei. After entering his room, Celes did not leave his arms, and while everyone was talking about things he faced in the examination. The experience shared by You Xi Wang gave them an emotional rollercoaster. When the conversation was moving to an ending. He told them about how Ronald Colt suffered under his nning.


    Chen Qianbei and You Naixin thought he was joking. He was a kid too. You Xi Wang took out the Data Coin he stored the video in the desert and silently yed the video. The more they watched, the more surprised they were, and the recording were from an extremely close point. You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "It''s up to you whether or not you believe it." he shrugged his shoulders and went to lie down on his bed.


    The adults realized they are underestimating this guy a bit too much. They coaxed this big baby You Xi Wang with some affectionate and sweet words. You Xi Wang enjoyed the treatment just as much. Finally, everyone left the room. Celestia slept on You Xi Wang''s bed while he himself sat down on the floor and cultivated for the whole night, but not before he flirted and spent some quality time with Emily and appease her dissatisfaction while he was gone. He called Susan and found out she was busy preparing for a special exam in hospital and was d that he came back safe. She also assured him she will visit as soon as she has some spare time on her hand.


    ...


    The sun peeked over the horizon and a new day started. The birds were chirping and the fresh morning breeze was whistling now and then. You Xi Wang sat down on the floor of his room, and a ray of light lit touched his body, which was covered in the five-element spiritual energy. The ray of light was also energy and was refined by the spiritual funnel.


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes and dispelled the refining barrier. He stood up and was about to go to the washroom when he heard a scream behind him. He turned around and saw Celestia screaming with her mouth covered. He came by her side and asked, "Celes, what happened?"


    Celestia looked at him and then made a gesture with her small fingers, and instantly a big holographic screen popped up in front of You Xi Wang. The screen was showing a video where he was ice skating, below the video projection was a counter. This counter was constantly moving, and the number was increasing. You Xi Wang knew what this number was, it showed how many people watched your video. Till now 20 million people have watched it already and liked it too. This was now a trending video.


    He asked Celestia, "Celes, what is this about?"


    Celestia said, "Big brother, Idol Lena Maze, has liked your video, and she asked for you to teach her this exercise. AWWWW it is such big news, so what do I reply to her."


    You Xi Wang took her in his arms and replied, "If not for the smartness of our little fairy, could it be trending videos. Okay, I will teach her Ice Skating but tell her she will not be treated like an Idol. If she is okay with it, then she cane here tomorrow night."


    Celestia was ecstatic and kissed You Xi Wang on both his cheeks. She quickly replied the Idol and ran out to tell others that a star wille to You Mansionter on. You Xi Wang shook his head and went to the washroom to take a shower and attend school. He wore a in white t-shirt and blue jeans. He wore ankle-high white sneakers. He looked energetic, just like a young man should.


    You Xi Wang headed to the Dining hall to get a quick meal. He met Emily on the way and shoved her inside a storage room. Emily was wearing her maid attire. You Xi Wang held her close to his body and asked, "Why are you wearing this attire. Did I not tell you not to?"


    Emily pouted and turned her head away, still she answered him, "All my clothes are dirty. I forgot to doundry. This is all I have left. I will change it in a few minutes."


    You Xi Wang held her chin and said in a soft voice, "Emily, are you worried about the idoling to our ce?"


    Emily looked into his eye and her heart skipped a beat. She nodded in a daze. You Xi Wang had a hypnotic charm. She could never lie as long as she is looking in his eyes. You Xi Wang smiled, pecked her rosy lips, and said, "Don''t worry, I will teach you something even better."


    Emily was about to ask what is it, but her lips were sealed by You Xi Wang. He kissed her with great passion and his hands explored her soft buttocks. Their crotches were rubbing against each other slowly, turning them on. You Xi Wang put his sly hands over her covered garden and Emily felt her whole body turn rigid.


    You Xi Wang put his lips next to her ears and spoke in a whisper, "You are mine and I am yours, Emily. No one can deny that. Not even you, yourself." his words were a bold promation, and they made her body turn soft as cotton and if not for his second hand holding her, she would have fallen on to the floor. You Xi Wang slowly flicked her earlobe with the tip of his tongue. Emily moaned and her face turned rosy. You Xi Wang kissed her neck and licked her cor while his hand danced over her forbidden area.


    Emily could only grab You Xi Wang''s arms with her dainty hands, and her nails left a bit of impression as they dug in. You Xi Wang did not mind as it was not much force. He noticed that after a few minutes of kissing and rubbing Emily was now breathing raggedly and his hand moved faster and he added various gestures in the process too, such as pinching, flicking, and pulling. Soon Emily could not hold any longer and be about to yell when You Xi Wang covered her mouth with his mouth and Emily''s body shivered, she hungrily sucked onto the lips of her beloved as her underpants became stained.


    She felt like she was riding a cloud. She had the first orgasm of her life. The more she imagined the process the more she blushed but You Xi Wang who knew about it gently spanked her perky butts and said, "You are now satisfied, but what about me?"


    Emily looked down and a bulging tent on his jeans made her blush even harder. She spoke in a buzzing voice, "Should I use my hands too?"


    You Xi Wang kissed her and kneaded her perky boobs as he spoke, "Do you want to?"


    Thetter only nodded and her hands started wrapping around the heavenly pole of You Xi Wang. After that, she followed his instructions and after a session of rhythmic jerks, You Xi Wang was also relieved. Emily cleaned the crime spot with his help and both the culprits fled the spot. They exchanged some sweet words of love after rendezvous and then parted ways for the time being. (They both got work to do)


    You Xi Wang had a filling breakfast and left the house to attend the prize ceremony in the school. His vehicle rushed to the school at a high speed. He asked Robert to wait in the school parking for a bit, as he would go to thepany office soon. Thetterplied and after dropping off You Xi Wang at the school gate turned the Mag-lev to the school visitor''s parking area. You Xi Wang entered the school premises with a slight smile on his face. His steps were long and stable.


    He soon reached his ssroom. His friends and other ssmates were present there. Yuki came to his side and held his hand with a yful smile on her lips. This smile made You Xi Wang feel a little uneasy, and he hugged her. He whispered in her ear, "Did I do something wrong, baby?"


    His affectionate voice and warm embrace were enough to melt Yuki. The girl in his arms said with pouty lips, "You do that kind of stuff with big sister Susan and big sister Emily, but not me. Why?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said in a hushed manner, "How about I spend the night with you?"


    Yuki blushed and after pondering for a few minutes she nodded and after pecking his lips she buried her face in his chest. This hug was cut short when Maya appeared over You Xi Wang''s shoulder and licked his face. She was taken by Yuki to apany Shadow as she tried to breakthrough in her cultivation. Shadow shared her spirit energy with her as to not let her feel hungry and weaken. Yuki and You Xi Wang separated. The boy took the white-furred beauty in his hands and gently sorted her fur. He interacted with Maya using the spirit beast pact they shared and found out she doesn''t like to spend time away from him.


    Well, she has extremely attached to You Xi Wang. Although she was a beast cub. She has seen how he fought the blood band tiger to help her mother and with this almost human intellect how can she want to leave this person. Even her mothermanded the pack to be with him and follow his lead. These wolf cubs only follow theirpanions or You Xi Wang. While Maya only followed him and him. If not for him asking her to apany Yuki how could she leave?


    Soon after Fenny entered the ss wearing a white and pink floral print top and blue jeans, her hand was holding a dazed Maddison. Fenny spoke in a whisper, "Teacher, we are in the ssroom."


    Maddison snapped out of her stupor and nodded gently, "She climbed up the podium and said, "Congrattions to all of you on passing the examination. The next thing is announcing the result. You can all check your Holo-phones and also, I don''t think I should remind you all that your next semester will start soon. So, rest and prepare as we will learn new things starting next week." she again went nk while the students were busy checking their scores andparing them with each other.


    They all congratted You Xi Wang and his team for gaining first among the three cities and bashing The Croma City academy. You Xi Wang noticed Maddison was again dazing and her eyes were pink. He walked up to the podium and spoke, "Teacher." his voice was filled with concern as Maddison always took care of her students.


    Maddison abruptly turned her head and when she saw this handsome boy looking at her with concern. She closed her eyes a bit and controlled herself. When she opened her eyes, she felt a little warm because on her tableid a note saying, "You are the strongest, teacher. You can always tell me if you need help."


    She saw You Xi Wang who was sitting down with his team and was joking around. She spoke, "You Xi Wang since you took the first ce in the three cities you are awarded a 2nd tier cultivation manual from the school library and a 2nd tier weapon of your choice from the arsenal."


    The whole ss cast an envious gaze toward him as the boy left the ss to rush to the library and arsenal. The teacher and his friends could onlyugh at this. This guy has always been eager to get the cultivation manuals.

 Chapter 95: Azure Shadow and Jade Brawler Gloves.

    Chapter 95: Azure Shadow and Jade Brawler Gloves.


    You Xi Wag ran straight to the Technique Pavillion library. While he was on the way he was thinking about what kind of skill to choose but after contemting that he was still in the initial stages and was unaware about how to select skills, he asked his system.


    ''System.'' he transmitted his thought to the system.


    [Yes, Master.] the system replied to him in an instant.


    ''Can you tell me what kind of skill and weapon should I choose? I am confused with there being too many aspects I can improve about myself.'' You Xi Wang asked earnestly.


    [The answer is one movement skill. In the past encounters, you defeated people with strength and even if no one in this world is perfect, you who is blessed with heavenly spirit root can break the Norms of this world. Your movement is your w, so correct it. As for a weapon, why not select a pair of brawler gloves? You already have Star Spear, Purgatory, and Comet longbow.]


    You Xi Wang nodded after hearing the exnation. He came and stood in front of a pagoda-style building. This building had nine floors, each floor contained manuals for corresponding major realms of cultivation. You Xi Wang was in the Spirit refinement realm so he could collect 2nd level skill and weapon. You Xi Wang came in front of the entrance and saw two stone lions on each side of the gate. He took a step forward and a ray of light emitted from the stone lions. The light shed over You Xi Wang and a mechanic sound rang out from the stone lion positioned on the left side of You Xi Wang.


    "Student You Xi Wang, identity confirmed, allowed to go to the 2nd floor of the cultivation library."


    The stone lion on the right-hand side also issued a sound.


    "Space ring storage blocked, spirit beast detected, be warned if any damage is done you will be fined. Maintain silence inside."


    These stone lions were robots equipped with a scanner and arms strong enough to dispose of Nirvana realm cultivators if need be. The door of the building opened and just as You Xi Wang was walking in a figure walked out. This figure was none other than Snow. She saw You Xi Wang and smiled softly. The boy generously returned her gesture. Snow Wistrom gestured to him with her fingers that she will wait for him toe out. You Xi Wang nodded and entered the building. The door closed and Snow sat down on a bench near the building to wait for You Xi Wang toe out.


    ...


    Inside the building, You Xi Wang went straight to the second floor. There was a table set up, and a boy was sitting there arranging the jade slips and scrolls. You Xi Wang approached the boy and said, "Good morning to you, senior brother. My name is You Xi Wang, a student of ss 1A. I have been allowed to select one skill and one weapon floor the 2nd floor."


    The boy on the table looked up and saw You Xi Wang looking at him calmly. He nodded and checked theputer in front of him to see whether You Xi Wang''s im was true or not. The verification came out positively and the boy spoke, "You can first pick up a technical skill and then after you have decided which one do you want. Youe back here, okay?"


    You Xi Wang nodded made his way over to the movement skill section. Although he had the memories from the previous body owner, the extent of skills and knowledge stored in this ce still blew his mind away. He was surprised to see that people in this world used every kind of weapon. The shelves were allbeled. Javelin, Spear, Lance, Pike, Halberd, Long Sword, Katana, Soft Sword, Short Sword, Dual Sword, Knife, Dagger, Needle, Bow, Gun, Whip, Rifle, Grenades, Mace, Hammer, Axe, Dual Hand Axe, etc; many more. These were all weapon skills. There was a separate section for movement, flight, offense, and defense techniques.


    You Xi Wang came straight to the movement section and looked at the variety of skills kept there. Lightning sh, Fire step, Willow walk, Phoenix flicker, Ascending roc, Tiger Stance, and many more. The list kept going and You Xi Wang kept moving. He was looking for a skill that can help him cover his spirit root. He came to the section for the wind spirit root and found some good ones.


    Falling Leaf Levitation, Storm Step, Azure Shadow. He read then the description of the three-movement skills.


    Falling leaf Levitation:


    This skill is suitable to be cultivated by practitioners with wind spirit roots. The Falling Leaf Levitation skill when trained to initial sess can help the practitioner glide at a height of twenty meters from the surface. This distance will improve ten folds every time the practitioner crosses one minor boundary.


    This skill would allow You Xi Wang to levitate but he was not in a hurry to fly like a bird. So he avoided it.


    The Storm Step:


    This skill is suitable for practitioners with a wind spirit root. Whenever a practitioner takes a step using this skill, a storm will be triggered. This storm will be upgraded two folds with each step. The highest realm is nine consecutive steps. NOTE: THE PRACTITIONERS PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SKILL SHOULD BE PRACTICED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE CULTIVATION BASE OR THE STORM MIGHT TEAR APART THE PRACTITIONER ITSELF.


    This skill made his face turn pale when he imagined taking the ninth step and triggering the storm he felt superb but when he saw the note, his spirit felt deted.


    Azure Shadow Step:


    This skill is suitable for practitioners with a wind spiritual root. This skill will allow the practitioner to cast an afterimage with each step taken. The distance covered with each step will upgrade by ten folds. The first step will help the practitioner reach anywhere between one inch to fifty meters. This skill was developed by the four beast temple and is inspired by the azure dragon. The highest number of steps is 9.


    You Xi Wang liked this skill and with no hesitation, he learned this skill. He picked up the jade slip recording the skill and made his way over to the table where the senior in charge of issuing the slips was sitting and sorting the scrolls and books. You Xi Wang spoke, "Senior, I am done picking up a skill."


    The boy lifted his head and took the skill jade slip. He typed on theputer and the slip was issued to You Xi Wang. There were copies of this slip, so it was not a problem for him to keep this slip. The boy looked at You Xi Wang and said, "Go select your weapon."


    You Xi Wang politely smiled and left to pick up a weapon. This was very easy as the weapons on this floor were simrly strong and it did not make any difference which one you select. You Xi Wang walked around and saw a shelf where gloves were kept. There were ten pairs of gloves and all of them looked very strong but there was not a single pair suitable for wind spirit root after all they preferred either sword or bows. Sometimes spears, but that is it. You Xi Wang wanted to lead but then he saw a pair of gloves which wasbeled as, JADE HANDS.


    The description was. This pair of gloves are suitable for increasing strength only and is not meant for any element. These gloves can withstand an attack up to the peak of the Core Formation Realm.


    You Xi Wang picked up the gloves and went back to the table toplete the process. After the stuff was issued, the senior unlocked the seal ced on his space ring and after storing in his new toys You Xi Wang left the pagoda. Maya, who was lying on his shoulder under the effect of invisibility stood up suddenly and growled. You Xi Wang followed his gaze and saw two guys pestering a girl who sat down there in silence.


    You Xi Wang saw the bit and recognized him. This was the school prince of the previous generation. Before You Xi Wang joined the school, that is. Zack O''Neil. This guy imed he liked his sister but was shot down by You Zhichi brutally. He was beaten in a dual fair and square. You Xi Wang used the invisible spell and walked close to the boy. He wanted to learn what was the matter before interfering with their stuff.


    ...


    "Snow, I know you are now very close and chummy with my Zhichi. Say something good to her about me. I will pay you with credits." spoke the tall, handsome blonde guy.


    Snow was keeping her head down until now, but after hearing this sentence she looked at the boy in front of him with disdain and disgust shing in her eyes. Zack saw this and gritted his teeth.


    He spoke again, "Ok, I will not force you but I will conquer my Zhichi''s heart. Humph" after snorting, he turned around and was scared to find You Xi Wang standing in front of him with a cold face.


    Zack let out a chuckle and said, "My little brother-in..."


    Snap!


    He was pped in the face by You Xi Wang. The hand was so fast that he couldn''t even react. He was a practitioner in the Early Core formation realm. This p hurt his pride, and he suddenly felt enraged, but before he could speak any word, a white sheathed sword was ced on his throat. He looked up and found You Xi Wang''s chilling gaze locked onto his face. His heart jumped up to his throat.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Without the consent of my sister, you dare address her as yours. Should I lodge aint of you maligning my sister''s reputation in the Council enforcement?"


    Zack never thought this polite boy will be this domineering. He was scared if You Xi Wang logged hisint then his life would be as good as over, but his pride did not let him say this. He gritted his teeth and said, "You Xi Wang, I challenge you for a life and death duel. Dare you to ept? I swear in the name of my blood that, if anything happened to me, then my family will not take any action against you or your family and friends."

 Chapter 96: Life And Death?

    Chapter 96: Life And Death?


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I dare ept it. Why not? But you know you need to state the reason for the duel in front of the duel proctor and the public. Will that not ruin your so-called boy toy reputation?"


    The boy standing behind Zack O''Neil was not his friend but was a teammate of Snow Wistrom. He asked Snow in a whisper, "Snow, what is this situation?"


    Snow only kept looking at You Xi Wang''s devilish smiling face. She understood what he wanted to do. You Zhichi was his reverse scale, and this guy Zack dared to poke it with a spear. He will be lucky if he died early, otherwise what waits for him is hell on earth with You Xi Wang as King Yama. she was wondering why people were so full of themselves without knowing the horrors of the world.


    Before Zack could utter a word, You Xi Wang cut him off and said, "Let''s go to the Deathmatch arena. I will fulfill your wish."


    He gave Snow a look, who stood up and followed him in silence. The boy was shocked when he saw this scene. He could never imagine the Ice demoness following a boy with her own consent. He hurriedly followed them, leaving only Zack standing on the spot. Zack regretted his decision and the blood oath he took. If he presented any kind of retaliation, then it will be death. He could only grit his teeth and believe in himself to defeat You Xi Wang, obviously, he cannot kill him for You Zhichi will kill him as she was stronger than him. He walked towards the deathmatch arena.


    ...


    On the way, You Xi Wang and Snow were walking side by side and a guy was following them silently. He could not resist it anymore and spoke up, "Hello, junior brother. My name is Rafael. Sister Snow''s teammate. I also have some contact with your sister."


    You Xi Wang spoke without turning back, "Hello, senior Rafael."


    Rafael felt awkward when thetter did not turn back. He was a smart person so he understood, You Xi Wang had taken a disliking to him for not opposing Zack O''Neil when he was speaking earlier. He wanted toe up with an exnation, but You Xi Wang interrupted him.


    "You can be thankful that you did not support Zack in his stints. Also, please do not talk to me as if we are friends. It is only for Snow''s face that I spared you. As for that Zack, hehehe... I will make him regret it." he let out a creepy giggle and Rafael felt a chill down his spine. He looked at Snow and found that she was also looking pale. He understood that Snow, the ice demoness, his team captain, feared this junior.


    The rest of the walk waspleted in silence. You Xi Wang left a message for his friends toe to the deathmatch arena. They were all shocked, but when they heard it was Zack who started everything, their anger was ignited. They knew how big of a jerk this guy was, and they were confident in the abilities You Xi Wang had. They were talking among themselves about this matter, and a ssmate heard it. The words spread around the whole school like wildfire. Soon the whole school was buzzing and both students and teachers alike rushed to the deathmatch arena.


    Snow also texted You Zhichi and just as she expected the Celestial Maiden was enraged. She replied she will immediately rush to school and Snow was asked to dy the deathmatch. But looking at You Xi Wang who was calm as a cucumber, she was afraid. She has seen him deal with that dark dweller during her time of camping in the Whispering Woods. That scene she can not forget, even if she wanted to. The aura You Xi Wang gave off was the same. She only prayed that the faculty try to intervene and stops this duel.


    Soon they reached the area where a square tform was set up. Many people were already here. An old man could be seen standing on the tform. You Xi Wang saw his friends but did not approach them and approached the elder on the stage.


    The elder looked towards You Xi Wang and was surprised to see the calmness at first, but that his surprise turned into shock when he felt a terrible storm brewing inside You Xi Wang. Zack also arrived in the arena at this moment. He walked up to the elder and saluted him.


    The elder asked them both, "What is the reason behind this deathmatch."


    You Xi Wang replied with calmness, "He insulted my elder sister."


    Zack spoke, gritting his teeth, "It was unintentional."


    You Xi Wang replied, "Then I pped him and then he issued a Deathmatch. So Iplied."


    You Xi Wang''s word set off a chain of murmurs in the arena. Everyone was aware of Zack''s identity and they knew he was chasing You Zhichi and he would try any means necessary. They understood who was You Xi Wang. They have heard of a schrly genius in the academy who learned and sessfully passed the test of the Codex Hall. He was the youngest student in the history of Metropia to learn everything about Material Science.


    "To think Zack would do something so lowly in the name of pursuit."


    "Yeah, no wonder the maestro, pped him. I have heard that Maestro is actually very polite to his seniors."


    "Yes, I have once seen him in the past. He is a calm person. But well, every dragon has a reverse scale. I heard he also took first ce in the annual assessment."


    "Zack might not be so disadvantaged. His realm is strong. He is only second to You Zhichi in the senior year."


    "That is because these senior year students suppress their cultivation base to have a sturdy foundation otherwise how could these geniuses be only at thete phase of spiritual formation."


    "Yeah, You Xi Wang might lose, if Zack unlocks his potential."


    In the crowd, some students were busy specting, and the opinion was mixed, some favored You Xi Wang while some favored Zack O''Neil. Snow came to stand beside Yuki and the others. They asked her if she knew what led to this, and she recited the whole scene word byword to them. Some students who were actually favoring Zack felt shameful when they heard what he said about the Celestial Maiden. You Zhichi was an existence in their mind who can only be admired from a distance but will be stained if you approached her. That was how nice and polite she was to them.


    They cursed themselves for supporting Zack. On the stage, the elder presiding over the match as a referee came forward holding an agreement, and both of the candidates were required to call their parents and swear a heavenly oath of no third party retaliating against the winning person or may the opponent be sted by the heavenly lightning. You Xi Wang knew his sister will not allow him to take part, so he called Granny Xin, when he told her theplete matter You Naixin raged like a fierce lioness. She allowed You Xi Wang to kill his opponent. Afterward, both of the fighters signed the contract, and they swore a heavenly oath. The stage was set.


    You Xi Wang took his position and was fifty meters away from Zack O''Neil. He knew that the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantageous it was for him. Since it was a Life and Death battle. He could use Maya. Zack saw You Xi Wang standing on the tform, stroking Maya with a calm expression.


    Zack sneered, "You Xi Wang, are you sure that this will nog die?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Come and I will show you pain."


    Zack said nothing and took out a spear. Maya was sat down on the ground and curled up to sleep, curling up in a ball of fur to sleep.


    "You Xi Wang,e meet your death," Zack yelled,


    Right in his moment, something happened. The elder spoke in a loud voice, Zack moved fast and appeared near You Xi Wang, he stabbed his spear but just at the moment his spear was about to touch You Xi Wang''s body faded away. Next moment the whole crowd sucked in a deep breath. You Xi Wang appeared beside Zack with a white Sheathed saber. He swung the de, forming a deep wound on Zack''s chest.


    He staggered and looked at You Xi Wang in shock and surprise. He never imagined that this first-year guy was so strong. He clutched his chest and pressed a few acupoints to seal the blood. He raised his spear again and tried to attack You Xi Wang again but the result was the same, this time it was as on the back.


    Zack wanted to do something but he was unable to see You Xi Wang move. The wounds were all giving him a burning sensation. At this moment the entire arena was so quiet that needles dropping could be heard clearly. This silence was the loudest exmation.

 Chapter 97: The edge of life and death.

    Chapter 97: The edge of life and death.


    Under the battle tform, the whole crowd was silent, while over the tform screams of anguish sounded every time You Xi Wang moved. It has been five minutes and despite having a difference of three minor realms, Zack O''Neil could not counter You Xi Wang in the slightest. Let alone counter he wasn''t even able to dodge or block You Xi Wang''s sword.


    The sword was so fast that it woulde out of its sheath, a ck arc will sh and the next moment the sword was sheathed again. This shocked people, they watched as You Xi Wang toyed with Zack O''Neil, he could have killed him anytime he wanted but he kept wounding him with that horrible sword. It was now that they realized the horror of You Xi Wang. Some elders from the academy faculty saw this and wanted to stop this battle, but they also saw that You Xi Wang was in a calm state of mind and there were no fluctuations in his mood. It was as if a non-living robot was attacking Zack. If You Xi Wang projected a rejoicing expression or mindset, then he will be stopped. But he did not, so they understood he was doing all this to leave a mark in Zack''s mind.


    ...


    You Xi Wang suddenly distanced himself from Zack O''Neil. He put back his long sword and took out the newly gained Brawler Glovers. He looked at Zack opposite to him, hair disheveled, cut marks all over the body. His handsome appearance was now shattered. He was like a beggar in front of a beast. This beast was, of course, You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Come, let me test my new skills."


    Zack gritted his teeth and was about to admit defeat. But will he be given such a good opportunity? The answer was a chopping side palm on his throat, making him unable to speak. His chop interrupted his vocal cords. Zack held his throat with his right hand he was ferocious when he saw that You Xi Wang did not want him to get away by admitting defeat. Zack stabbed his spear and You Xi Wang took a side step and patted the spearhead with his right hand, deflecting it to his left. He used wind spiritual energy and fused it in his calf muscles. His muscles contracted, and he took a step forward. The spiritual energy boost allowed him to close the distance of 10 feet in just one step, and what followed next was a blow to Zack right in his lower right torso.


    Zack bent slightly only to take an uppercut moving from below to kiss his nose. Zack''s head flew up and then it was a crazy and brutal barrage of punches on his face from left and right. To put maximum force in his blows You Xi Wang bobbed his head forming a horizontal eight in the air and used the kic force in his blows and delivered the heavy payload right on Zack''s face, which did not look handsome at all. Blood sshed and teeth flew, You Xi Wang did not stop. His fists were moving through the air, producing a whooshing sound.


    BANG!


    Thest punch connected and Zack fell down on the ground. You Xi Wang took deep breaths, he took off his gloves and what everyone saw made them realize that You Xi Wang was also suffering while he was clobbering down on Zack''s face, but he was so angry that he did not stop at all. His fists were bloody, his knuckles were scraped, and his fists were shivering. The crowd too sucked in a deep breath.


    "You dared to speak shit about my sister. What are you? I have been tolerating you and your bullshit for a long time now. Did you think my silence is my weakness? Or did you think that my sister''s pride is something you can joke about and get away with? You are nothing but a bundle of bones and flesh, even if a god someday tries to take liberties with my sister, I will y him. If a demon lusted for my sister, I will y him. Anyone dares to calcte on my sister I will y him regardless of their power. No one can force my sister to do anything she does not want to." he paused and his gaze swept over the crowd. When they saw the coldness in his gaze they all flinched. They finally understood what can happen if you y with the dragon''s reverse scale.


    You Xi Wang continued, "I will say this onest time. If you want to pursue my sister, do it, but if my sister said no, then you better leave respectfully lest you hinder her, and believe me you don''t want that. " he turned towards Zack O''Neil who was looking at him with half-closed eyes, shivering in fear. You Xi Wang took out his sword. He wanted to chop this guy into pieces. He walked towards Zack O''Neil step by step, and thetter crawled back in trepidation. Before long You Xi Wang was already standing in front of him. The reason Zack could not put up any resistance was the me poison in the de of Purgatory. The ember will slowly burn you from inside out once you are shed by that de.


    You Xi Wang looked at Zack lying at his feet.


    ZENG!


    A shining ck de came out of the white sheath and the whole arena felt gloomy. The elders in the spectators emitted their aura, and the gloominess lightened. This was the domain of Purgatory, if You Xi Wang was any stronger, this whole area would even look like hell itself. Suddenly, the atmosphere turned sharp. The students in year four and above were stunned. It was said that one may not figure out weapon intents even if they use a weapon for all their lives. Now when they saw this teen in front of them using sword intent. They felt like donkeys. You Xi Wang raised his sword high over his head and he was ready to chop his head off. He exhaled and swung down with force. Just then a voice sounded from the edge of the spectators.


    "Gougou, stop, don''t kill him." but the person understood it was alreadyte when she saw the ck arc.


    SHING!


    An ear grating sound rang out, but since everyone was a cultivator, they did not even notice it. The sword did descend but the sword intent did not chop off Zack''s head but the sword intent shed the tform two inches above his head. Over the tform, You Xi Wang raised his head and followed the direction the sound originated. At the edge of the spectators, he found his sister standing. You Zhichi was panting slightly as she ran from the school entrance to the deathmatch arena. The spiritual Formation realm could not fly. She quickly moved towards the tform and the crowd silently made way for her. First, she was the Celestial Maiden who was respected by everyone in the student circle, and second, the handsome devil on the tform had just warned them all to be on their best behavior.


    You Zhichi was followed by a middle-aged woman, who wore an anxious expression on her face. You Zhichi spoke sternly after reaching the tform, "Come down, it is over. Do you see this aunty behind me? She is Mrs. O''Neil, Zack''s mother. She contacted me on the way and even swore a heavenly oath on her son''s behalf that he will change his ways. You, spare him now."


    You Xi Wang was hesitant, but looking at the eased expression on his sister''s face he stored his sword first. He looked at thedy and spoke, "I will let him go."


    Mrs. O''Neil spoke, "I have sworn an oath in front of miss Zhichi, and for my foolish son I will swear one in front of you, Young Master Wang." just as she was about to continue, You Xi Wang came down the tform and stood in front of her. He smiled and bowed down to her. He spoke in a soft voice, "Aunty, I dare not say that I am a dragon but yes my family and friends are my reverse scale. When my parents were alive, they took care of us, and I said nothing about how Zack pursued my sister. Now they are not here. Before they left the world, my parents asked me to take care of my sister, to safeguard her dignity and her happiness. I will do anything and bear any burden for her. I know you also have a daughter, so you might understand my words better than that guy on the tform. I hope you forgive me if I was out of line."


    His words were sincere and everyone approved of the way You Xi Wang dealt with it. They all knew that he did it for his sister, but they forget to count the fact that these siblings were now without parents and their bond was now even stronger than it was in the past. Mrs. O''Neil was also touched by these words. As a mother, she understood the plight of this boy in front of her. Zack who was on the stage also heard these words and tears formed in his eyes. He recalled how he treated his younger sister with love and respect and if any scumbag came to tarnish her reputation then will he not do something like what You Xi Wang did? Of course, he would.


    He decided he would not seek revenge but admit his fault and change his ways. Just as he was nning his apology. You Xi Wang came back up onto the stage. He looked at the proctor and said, "I admit defeat."


    The proctor smiled at this and said, "The match is over." he did not announce a winner because he knew that You Xi Wang only admitted defeat for the sake of ending the match. This disy of his chivalry earned him the respect of not only the students but also several elders in the crowd. You Xi Wang took out his sword and just when everyone was wondering what he wanted to do? You Xi Wang unsheathed the sword and closed his eyes. Hemunicated with the sword spirit and the me inside Zack''s body all rushed out, forming an exquisite looking ckbird. The bird flew around You Xi Wang in circles twice before fusing back with the sword.


    The wounds on Zack''s body did not burn anymore. He felt relieved and was about to stand up and apologize to the pair of siblings, but You Xi Wang turned and said, "I only believe in actions and not hollow words. I will still cut you down if I find there is a next time." and jumped down the stage.


    Zack understood that if You Zhichi did not stop her brother at that moment from the edge of the crowd, then he would have crossed overke Styx and not lying in the world of the living.

 Chapter 98: Punished.

    Chapter 98: Punished.


    You Xi Wang was standing beside his elder sister with his eyes looking down at his feet and his hands were kept behind his back as they were injured in the fight earlier. Maddison Midnight came to the pair of siblings and she spoke addressing You Xi Wang, "Student You Xi Wang, I won''t say that what you did was something wrong but you should not take this life and death battles lightly. Zack O''Neil was careless and lost his temper, that his why he underestimated your capabilities, but what if he was cautious? You know he is a person who is suppressing his cultivation base for a sturdy foundation, right? What would your sister and family do if something happened to you? You are too careless. Reflect on your actions."


    You Xi Wang also understood this if not for Zack was agitated and that is why he lost this fight otherwise it would have been him on hisst leg or maybe died. He had some strong cards, but if exposed they will cause trouble for him and his family. He nodded his head in silence. Maddison understood he was afraid of his sister and she left after speaking a few words with You Zhichi. His friends wanted to approach him and say a few words, but when they felt the chilling gaze of You Zhichi they all left midway.


    You Xi Wang saw this and cursed them in his heart. You Zhichi ignored her brother and walked away. You Xi Wang whistled to Maya and hurriedly followed his sister. He was in deep shit this time. It won''t be easy to coax his sister. They arrived at the parking and You Zhichi directly got inside the car and she closed the door with a band, without giving him an opportunity to get in beside her. Robert shook his head and took his seat as the driver, while You Xi Wang, had to ride shotgun.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Uncle Robert, home." her voice was so calm, yet this calm made You Xi Wang feel a chill in his heart. Robert on the side have noticed his hands, and he thought to himself, ''Young War God is in trouble this time and it is big.'' it was known to all that whenever You Xi Wang did something naughty and careless, he would be punished. This punishment could be anything.


    Once in the past when he was four years old, he climbed up the roof of the house and he fell down, he was rescued by his elder cousin. Chen Limao punished him, and the punishment was to hang him upside down from the edge of that roof for 3 hours. He pleaded, but his mother did not forgive him. Only when three hours passed by and You Xi Wangpleted his sentence did she allow him to get down. He made some mistakes in the past which were potentially harmful to him and he was duly punished every time and maybe because of these punishments he never repeated the same mistake twice.


    Today was about to be one of those days where You Xi Wang will be punished and his sister was ten times strict with him than his mother, so he could only hope that she will be lenient. Just when he was busy thinking what the punishment could be and preparing himself the vehicle approached the mansion. You Zhichi got off the maglev after it lowered down on the ground, and she waited for her brother toe down.


    When he got down, his sister looked at him and said, "Follow me."


    She had already called the elders to the main gathering hall of the family. They arrived at the hall in a few minutes and they saw the elders were already waiting only You Naixin was missing because she was grounded by all her brothers in order to appease You Zhichi because she might say nothing to her but as the elders, they knew that allowing You Xi Wang to fight a life and death battle against an academy elite student was as foolish as it could get. So they ground their sister.


    You Zhichi walked with a brisk pace and her footsteps echoed in the hall. The hall was so silent that it was deafening. The whole family had got wind of what might happen and so the atmosphere was solemn. You Zhichi took her seat beside the throne of the family master. You Xi Wang stood in the center of the hall with his head down sensibly. You Zhichi saw his attitude and spoke in an amusing tone.


    "Oh, the master of the You family, the war god, You Xi Wang lowered his head? At least the values passed down by the family still have some worth in his eyes." her tone was like ash and words were like thorns covered in the whip. This whipshed out straight on his heart. He could bear the beating, but when his sister talked to him like this, he just wanted to die.


    Theshing only got crueler, You Zhichi spoke again, "As the Young Miss of the family, I now sentence You Xi Wang to stand on his hand for a whole night while he isshed out ten times every hour." this sentence made the elders change their facial expressions.


    The first elder took a step ahead, but just when he was about to say that the punishment was too much for a teen. Thesh was a spiritual weapon and it could kill people if they are hit too much. He was interrupted by You Xi Wang, who was standing in the center of the hall.


    He spoke after taking a deep breath, "You Xi Wang admits his mistake, and epts this punishment. I would also like to say these words to all the family. I live by the values passed down in the family, but if someone came and tried to trample on the dignity of my family members, elders, and my close ones. I will do these same mistakes no matter how many times it is needed because..." he raised his head and looked at his sister with slightly red eyes and continued, "because I believe they would do the same for me. Mother used to say, treat others the way you want them to treat you. I beg your forgiveness, big sis." after that he knelt down and kowtowed nine times before leaving the hall. He was headed to the punishment hall.


    You Zhichi felt a knife stabbing her heart when she heard his words. She looked at the elders, trying not to let the tears flow out. You Ziyou came to her side, put his hand on her head, and said, "He has grown up Xiao Chi, don''t worry, he deserved the punishment so he handles things more carefully. You don''t feel like this because you also know how his heart is."


    You Zhichi hid her tear-stained face in his chest, she knew her punishment would teach him a lesson and that her brother was more mature than she expected, it was shown by his words but she still felt bad because that much how she loved him. How can she feel happy about punishing her brother who she thought off as her most precious treasure?


    ...


    In the You family mansion, there was a basement that was known as the punishment hall. It was a ce that was dreaded by all. This hall would lock once you set in the punishment''s timer, and the automated machines will then monitor your sentencepletion. If you have even one moment where you fell short of the requirements then the sentence will start all over again. Now the rest can be left to your imagination.


    For an instance, you are asked to do 100 squats and your posture falters on the 99th squat, then you have to do it all over again. This was the horror of this punishment hall. You Xi Wang essed theputer on the wall outside and typed in the details of the punishment. He also typed in a message in his Holo-phone and sent it to his sister before entering the hall and starting the punishment sentence.


    You Zhichi who was crying felt her Holo-phone beep in a special pattern. It was a unique pattern she set for her brother. She opened the message:


    ''I always fail at not making you worry and cry. I will try not to, but I do not know why whenever I try to do something good it ends up hurting you. Also, I know you are crying right now. Did you forget you will get old soon like granny Xin if you cry so much? Please don''t cry big sis, your tears are something I cannot handle.''


    Just when she was busy reading the message she heard an angry shout from the direction of You Naixin''s room.


    "BRAT XIAO WANG, YOU JUST WAIT AND COME OUT OF THAT HALL. I WILL BREAK YOUR LITTLE ASS INTO PIECES, MY LOVE IS WASTED ON YOU."


    When everyone rushed to find out why she was so enraged, they found out that there was a picture of her covered in wrinkles and no teeth, she was smiling, below the pictures, some words were written, they said, "Smile please."


    These pictures were posted on the walls of the mansion and You Naixin was tearing them off one by one. Everyone could not help but smile when they saw these pictures, and they knew You Xi Wang must have asked some of his naughty cousins to help him do this. You Naixin came to the elders and spoke, "Howe this isn''t seen as trampling on my dignity?"


    You Ziyou spoke, "Xiao Xin, look how kind and benevolent you look in this appearance. Our grandson portrayed your caring heart in such a brilliant manner. No brothers?" he even asked his brothers. They all agreed and said that You Naixin was looking like the incarnation of motherly love itself. These wrinkles and smile showed she will care for her children. Men will be men, and with these sugary words, they calmed down the storm.


    Who in their right mind would tell this woman that they were lying? Never p a smiling face. They smiled and coaxed her. The family members shook their heads with a smile, the elders were no less yful than the kids in this household. Someone would check on You Xi Wang through the observation window every half an hour. There were screams whenever a robotic arm would hit him withshes. They saw his body was sturdier and could take on the beating, but for how long they did not know. The amount of energy inside a Spirit Formation realm cultivator was limited, and You Xi Wang had wounded his hands earlier.


    In the You Mansion, the atmosphere was heavy because their youngest was facing his punishment and You XI Wang was loved by all. This family was so united despite the big size that people in Silica City had a proverb for unity.


    ''I for You, You for I'' meant that everyone in the You family was a single entity and every single individual of the You family was the face of the whole family.

 Chapter 99: Pleasure In Pain.

    Chapter 99: Pleasure In Pain.


    Inside the punishment hall, You Xi Wang discovered the whole new meaning of pain. His knuckles were already scraped, not because Zack had a physique of iron or something which led his hands to be hurt. It was he, himself who put a little too much strength in his fancy head bobbing punches he adapted after recalling an old anime from the earth. Now that he was standing inverted on his hands, the pain came hugging his mind. This was not enough because this cake was iplete without the whipping he was subjected to every hour, true cherry on the top.


    He diverted all his spiritual energy to his arms and his back while he adjusted his legs to a perfect bnce point. This helped him leave his legs be as they were not whipped. His punishment required him to stand like that for 11 hours. It was only 6 in the evening when he entered the punishment hall. It has been only two hours since then and he did not know how long could he stay like that.


    The system came to rescue his sorry ass.


    [Master.] an unsympathetic voice rang inside his mind. You Xi Wang asked in annoyance.


    ''Yes, want to joke? Come on, go on.''


    [Master, your whole existence is a joke in my eyes so I could not bear to waste any more sense of humor on you. Now if you please don''t mind, stop being a sour-ass jerk. You got yourself in this shit. My purpose is to help you and I will help you only if you are willing.] the system hitting him down then helped him up.


    ''Oh, how can you help me?'' You Xi Wang ignored the poisonous early half of the sentence.


    [It is time you start learning about soul skills. Inside the soul sea located in the brain of a human being, time flow is slower than it is on the outside. You can go in there and cultivate your soul skills. I will, on the other hand, manage your physical body.] the system spoke about his idea.


    You Xi Wang was bewildered when the system said that it will manage his physical body. He was scared that the system might take over his identity. Just as these thoughts were running wild in his mind. The system sensed it andshed out.


    [Aww, is the master afraid of me. Hahaha, has anyone ever told you, that you are such a treasure. I mean how do you think of all this? I can''t express how ashamed I feel at this moment. Is your brain filled with dog shit you bitch? Do you not understand the concept of primary and secondary? For fuck''s sake, grow up.] the system was sarcastic and then he went ballistic on You Xi Wang.


    The master understood that he was just imagining a bit too much and focused on his soul sea. The surroundings changed, he looked around and a world with a blue sky, endless ocean came into his sight. You Xi Wang was standing on an ind, not bigger than a king-size bed. You Xi Wang moved his feet and felt the sand grains underneath his feet. It was a pleasant sensation. He raised his hand but was shocked when the palm of his hand was only as big as that of a baby.


    The system spoke, [This baby represents your soul power. It will grow as your strength grows. Usually, when a cultivator achieves the realm of The primal soul, only then can theye here. You are an exception as your soul fused and it woke up the Soul Embryo. Your spiritual energy nurtures the soul over time. It will not grow significantly stronger until you actually reach Primal Soul Realm but yes, you can stay here and exercise your soul control and learn the mysteries ahead of time. After the Primal soul reaches the peak stage, a cultivator has to go through a heavenly tribtion to achieve Nirvana Rebirth. When your soul and physique is at its peak. It has the potential to go against the will of the heavens and thuses the tribtion. Heavens do not tolerate something that defies it not until they can pass the trial.] the system exined the reason why You Xi Wang should practice his soul skills.


    You Xi Wang sat down on the ind floor and started to meditate. He focused and the spiritual energy inside his soul sea started to revolve around him and slowly started to fuse with his soul physique. This process was very slow and it had almost no effect on his strength. The system also performed his tasks. The spiritual energy inside the punishment hall was almost negligible, it was to prevent the punished person from regaining his/her strength and avoid the pain inflicted by the machines.


    The system used spiritual energy with much better efficiency than You Xi Wang himself did. The spiritual energy was now focused on the joints of his hands such as elbows, shoulder, and wrists. The energy was also channeled through the muscles every ten minutes to prevent them from tearing. The machines came to give You Xi Wang''s back 10shes. This time system did not use the spiritual energy to cover the whole back but focused it on the point of contact.


    ...


    Inside the mansion, people were aware of the pain You Xi Wang was facing when they heard the words from people who went to check on him. You Xi Wang was the youngest in the family. A cousin of his was just two days older than him. There were some who were a month older. Unlike some families in Metropia, who treated their weak members like trash, You family implemented a, treat them with love policy. They believed that those who are not good at martial arts can be good in other fields. There was a time when You family was not any different from other families. They changed after a girl in the family rose to power with only her skills in business. She was blessed with a good brain and when she was sent out from the family, she started her own small business and when the family was in need she came forward and pulled the family back to where it was. Today You family have a lot of big businesses such as Tianlong technologies, Zhengyi Mining, Hei Gui pharmaceuticals, etc.


    These businesses may not be the big shots in the world but they were still not at the bottom of the world as well. You family have maintained these businesses with hard work and they also came to understand the value of each and every member from the incidents in the past. Since then they never looked down on anyone. So when You Xi Wang was born with narrow meridians the family did not abhor him for his weakness but even nurtured him with love. You Xi Wang also used his spiritual energy to enhance his brain back then and he became the youngest person ever to learn every book in the Codex Hall written on Material science.


    The council awarded him with the moniker of The Maestro. The family was overjoyed at that time. You Xi Wang was only 14 that year and he also gave valuable advice is business-rted issues sometimes. If not for his mother Chen Limao, who believed that the children of the family should have a normal upbringing, he would have been managing the business in the family already.


    At this moment You Zhichi, You Naixin, Chen Qianbei, and Emily were sitting inside a pavilion in the garden and none of them were talking. Celestia ran to them with Maya in her hands, she innocently looked at them and when she saw the atmosphere was a bit heavy she quietly came and sat down by Chen Qianbei.


    You Zhichi saw that this little girl had one of her braids undone and there was a mark on her neck which she was desperately trying to hide by pulling over the shoulder of her dress. She asked, "Celes, how did your braid came undone? And what is that mark on your shoulder?"


    Celestia bowed her head and bit her lips because she did not want to lie, she chose to avoid answering it. Chen Qianbei put her hand on her head and asked in a soft voice, "Celestia, what did aunt teach you? What should you do when an elder asks you a question?"


    Celestia was smart and understood that she can not avoid answering this question, so she looked up to her face and spoke in a soft voice, "Kiki and Jojo told me thatshes leave deep wound, so they wanted to gather all the kids to go and gather medicine from the herb garden. But aunty Lily said children should not interfere with adult matters. So they canceled going there. I asked Maya if she can make me invisible, then we went inside the herb garden and plucked a rejuvenating peach from the tree. One of the branches got stuck in my hair so the braid came undone, as for the scratch it was from the thorns in that bush. I had to hide from that guard uncle."


    Everyone shook their heads while they wondered howe this little girl was so clever to go inside the garden ande back without getting caught. You Naixin spoke, "Celes, you should not steal things."


    Celestia pouted, "Granny Xin, can I not take a rejuvenating Peach for my big brother from my family herb garden, if not because I was afraid of getting punished by the guard uncle, I would have gone in the open." she puffed her cheeks in protest.


    You Zhichi came and hug her and spoke in her ears, "Yes sweetheart, next time you go out in the open, okay. This is your family and no one will punish you." Celestia has epted them as their family and her statement rified that. This was a happy thing for them.


    The time passed and they all kept waiting in the pavilion, Celestia fell asleep with her head in Chen Qianbei''sp. Emily was anxious, she called Susan, told her the whole incident, and asked her toe home in case any medical help is needed. Thetter agreed to it with no hesitation. The night was about to end, to the family, this night was like an era of darkness. They all were gathered outside in the garden where the entrance of the basement was located.

 Chapter 100: Skipping A Grade.

    Chapter 100: Skipping A Grade.


    You Xi Wang was inside the punishment hall and he was unaware of the status of his physical body was in. The system has cut off his senses to prevent any distractions. You Xi Wang was now standing in his arms with no external support. It was because the system had locked all the joints and found the perfect bnce point to keep the energy consumption low. The spiritual energy consumption was also kept low and only circted to ease the muscles a bit or to take the pain of theshes.


    The whole night was passed like this but You Xi Wang, who was focusing on adapting to his soul skills, was unaware of this for him: it was only an hour. When the sun rose outside the system came to wake You Xi Wang.


    [Master, it is time please wake up.] the system was not bothered about disturbing You Xi Wang in his cultivation. You Xi Wang was not at a critical juncture, and he was particrly not making any significant progress. It was just him getting familiar with the process.


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes. He nced around him and found that the world around him was a little different. The ind now that scarce patches of grass. The patches were only 10 cm in diameter and were scarce. Just as he was thinking about how the world inside his soul sea changed the system exined.


    [Everything inside your soul sea is a representation of your soul power, as you grow the world will be rich and vibrant, and if someday broken your soul, then it will be hell. Also, the time is up; the sun is out. You move your ass away as I need to rest.] the system unceremoniously kicked You Xi Wang''s consciousness out of the soul sea, before thetter even reacted. You Xi Wang shook his head helplessly and opened his eyes.


    ATTENTION: THE DURATION OF THE SENTENCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.


    THE PUNISHMENT HALL WILL NOW OPEN, THE PRISONER MAY LEAVE.


    You Xi Wang felt he just hear the best symphony in the world. The system sneered, [You act as if you were tormented? You have been chilling for the past 8 hours. Hypocrite.]


    You Xi Wang did not bother with it and tried to stand. Just as soon as his feet touch the ground, he fell miserably. He wailed in pain, his body was sore, all the pain his body went through came at him altogether. He felt a strong pain in his hands when he tried to support himself. His legs were numb because of irregr blood cirction, no matter how awesome the system was it could not defy thews of gravity. You Xi Wangid down on the floor for a few moments. He only stood up after he ran all his spirit energy throughout his body ten times.


    He reinforced his arms with it, put them under his chest as support, and stood up. His legs were still in a state of partial numbness, theck of oxygen in the muscles can not be rectified in moments. Walking was an extremely difficult task for him, staggeringly he walked to the hall door. He supported his body against the corridor wall using his shoulder. He grimaced in pain, yet he could only go out on his own. ording to family rules, the punishment is supposed toplete when the subject of punishmentes out of the basement on his own.


    It took him thirty minutes to walk out of the basement. He stepped out of the basement door and closed his eyes when the morning sun shone on his eyes. He lost his bnce and was about to fall when he felt a soft grip on his shoulder; he grimaced in pain, and tears formed at the corner of his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his sister was supporting him with tears in her eyes.


    He gave her a bitter smile and spoke in a low voice, "Did you not see how you will look if you cried so much, should I use aunt Bei''s sketch next time?" his words brought a smile to his sister''s face.


    While Chen Qianbei also could not help but only shake her head after closing her eyes. She was trying to hide her tears. The boys in the family moved and held You Xi Wang in their sturdy arms. The grip was tight and You Xi Wang cursed, "Do you guys want me to die? Be gentle big brothers or I will really cry." his tone was very pitiful, but his brothers only took pleasure in this. They chuckled and carried him to the room where Susan had a bed prepared for him.


    The boys put You Xi Wang on the bed and left after throwing some puns on him being a sissy. Thedies in the family left to cook food items and the males just went back to their work. Susan came to the side of his bed and gave him a check-up. She was about to give him some meds, but Celestia came to the room. Her eyes turned red when she saw You Xi Wang groaning in pain. Maya jumped out of Celestia''s hands and sat down next to You Xi Wang. Celestia called for Susan and said, "Sister Susan, can you give big brother this peach? Will it be helpful?" her eyes were filled with anticipation, and Susan knew that the little fairy herself bought this.


    She smiled and picked her up in her arms as she spoke, "Yes, little one. It is good. Do you want it to feed it to him?"


    Celestia nodded adorably, Susan couldn''t help but kiss her cheek. She bought her to You Xi Wang and said, "Xi Wang, Celes is here. She bought you a rejuvenating peach."


    You Xi Wang turned his head. He was right nowying with his chest down. He saw the adorable girl and only blinked his eyes in affirmation. He was too tired after all the energy inside him was exhausted when he felt pain. Celestia quickly came and held the peach next to his mouth. You Xi Wang grabbed a bite and then another until the flesh was all eaten, leaving only the pit in Celestia''s small palms. He let out a smile, and Celestia smiled back. She kissed his cheek and said, "Get well soon, big brother."


    You Xi Wang replied, "Thank you, Celes. Your Idol ising over tonight right?"


    Celestia nodded and spoke, "I will tell her no, you rest, and don''t worry."


    You Xi Wang replied, "No, I will be fine after spending some hours in the recovery capsule. Also, once youmit something, you should live up to it."


    Celestia left after a few more words. She also needed to sleep. Mostly all the people who stayed in the mansion were sleeping. They all spent the night awake after all, and the stress of You Xi Wang''s suffering made them tired. You Xi Wang asked Susan to send him to the hospital. There he spent two hours inside the capsule to recover. He called his friends regarding the grade skipping test application. The procedure of taking the promotion exam was different, the applicant must hand over a letter signed by his guardians of adults in the house acknowledging he could take this exam. Then he must inform his ss teacher, then the principal was needed to be informed.


    There must be the whole team to follow you, and if a single member fails, then the whole group fails. Failure will result in expulsion from the school. The conditions were rash, but he had to do this in order to get stronger. After his team epted the proposal, they all went to find out Maddison to register their team. They were told that the exam will be held the day after tomorrow. They all talked a little and You Xi Wang ran back to his office and saw a bigmotion happening on the doors.


    He walked forward and saw a beautiful woman was using an employee of scamming her. You Xi Wang asked the people in the crowd and turned out, the woman was using Sarangi Music Instruments of selling her a lot of broken instruments and when they asked for a refund. Thepany denied it, saying that they are not responsible for the delivery of the package. You Xi Wang was irritated.


    He stepped in and handle see this whole matter through. He walked ahead and came to stand in front of the raging woman. He spoke in a humble yet firm voice.


    "Madam, I am the CEO of thispany, do you mind telling me your grievance, I assure you, that I will give you an exnation if your im is correct." his words drew the crowd''s attention and the woman. The woman saw a handsome young man in front of her was lowering himself to solve her problem. You don''t p a smiling face and a dazzling one at that. She told You Xi Wang everything.


    She started a music outlet business after she finished her final year. Her background is not financially strong, so she bought some music instruments and set up a music teaching ss and she also sells instruments. These days the guitar was very famous, and she ordered ten high-quality models of it, but when they were delivered by thepany, the equipment was broken. She asked the person who took her order for a refund or a recement and he said they are not responsible after the order is shipped. He also insulted her for not being rich.


    She found out that thepany was a subjugatepany to Tianlong Technologies. So she came here to see the higher authority but was stopped by this employee who asked her to wait for a week till they investigate. The woman direly needed money and could not wait for a week or her shop will be closed down.


    You Xi Wang asked her to sit in the waiting hall. He investigated and found out that the employee who caused all this was drunk on duty and was already fired. He provided the woman with a refund and gave her a 20% discount on her future purchase and reced her order for free. He also called for an urgent meeting with the marketing department to deal with simr situations.

 Chapter 101: BIZ Maestro.

    Chapter 101: BIZ Maestro.


    You Xi Wang sat in his cabin going over the reports and documents of various things that happened over days. Ste sat in front of him patiently waiting for him to finish reading the documents. He muttered something from time to time, Ste was nervous for the first time since she joined Tianlong Technologies. The credit goes to You Xi Wang for being so attentive to every little detail in the reports. He had a separate note on his screen now, on which he was writing the key points. He kept doing this for another 30 minutes.


    He looked up to Ste and said, "Aunt Ste, call a meeting with the production department of the group and the sales department. I want to here in now." his calm manner gave Ste a bad feeling she nodded and hurriedly stoop up to make the arrangements. Just as she was about to open the door of the cabin You Xi Wang spoke, "Call Uncle Gerrard in the meeting." he did not lift his head and was still writing in the note. Ste left the room and called every executive from the Sales and Production team to the conference room ASAP.


    ...


    In about thirty minutes, the executives from the sales and the production department were standing inside the conference room. Ste was about to call You Xi Wang when thetter came inside with Gerrard following him. He nced at the gathered staff before taking his seat. He tapped down some buttons and uploaded some statistics for the others to see and disyed it on the projector screen. Everyone looked at what it was. Their faces changed after they read what was written on the screen.


    The screen was disying the number ofints the customers have filed against them and the effect it had on thepany''s face value. Tianlong group was down by ten percent in the initial stage of operation. Despite their product being popr, people were not buying it because of poor post-sale services. The production was also too wasteful. The wastage of raw material was also a factor that stacked on the loss.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, "Who among you will tell me? Why are we under loss, only after the first two weeks of operation?"


    The room was quiet, none of the executives even dared to speak. You Xi Wang leaned back in his chair and looked at all of them. He spoke again, "Either the answer or resignation. The choice is yours. You all have 5 minutes to think."


    A young staff was getting nervous and when he heard about the resignation, he lost whatever left cool and spoke, "Reporting to the CEO. Sir, it is because the ground level staff doesn''t cooperate with us. They deny orders and some of them even beat up a colleague yesterday for saying that the finish of the product is not good."


    You Xi Wang nced at him and spoke, "What are your name and designation?"


    The employee spoke up, "Thomas Stone, junior quality inspector, Sarangi Music Instruments, sir."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will rece your senior." he turned to the guy responsible for quality check and said, "You swap position with him. If you think it is below your prestige, then you can quit or I can fire you directly."


    The senior employee can only bitterly smile and nod as he did not want to quit his job and get a bad note on his resume. You Xi Wang asked others again, and he got to know that the main problem in all the newpanies they have gained was the uncooperative staff and goons. He sat down and pondered for a minute.


    "Did you try to find what they want?" he asked the executives. They said it was the Human resource department which dealt with this thing. You Xi Wang was frustrated and called the Human Resources team over.


    They came in a few minutes and the head of the human resources spoke, "Young Master, it is the union leaders of the ground staff who are doing this. These guys are deliberately hindering our operations. At first, we gave them better amodation and food. They asked for better hygiene in the factory and we did that too. Now they say the machinery is faulty and even beat up a quality check officer. We cannot just change the whole factory equipment because of this. It will be a huge loss."


    You Xi Wang said, "Get me these Union Leaders, seems like someone from the backstage is feeling itchy."


    The human resources guy nodded and asked one of his junior to get it done. You Xi Wang spoke, "I have a proposal. The customer has obviously hated our products because of the poor after-sale services, right?"


    The crowd nodded, You Xi Wang continued, "How about we set-up an app for Holo-Phones, if the customer uses this app they can directly contact a customer care representative, state their issues,ints, and the representative will help them rectify it, refund or rece if the situation is unsolvable. What do you think?"


    Director of Human Resources asked, "Sir, this might be usible, but how are we going to earn profit from this?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "There are many otherpanies who want to advertise their products, right? We contact them to ask for a 2.5%mission on every product we help them sell. Also, provide the same post-sale services for their products at a reasonable price. I leave writing a letter of intent to you, Uncle Gerrard. Also, tomorrow morning I want those union leaders to be missing from their usual spots, bring them here in secrecy. I guess all you big directors and managers have your ways with these things? Aunt Ste, you are to start a hiring fest. We hire everyone is above 18 and the qualification must be at least 4 grade of school. Also if when you advertise this hiring fest, specifically mention that we hire dropouts and will provide training for them but on the premises, they work 3 years for us and cannot quit before that. Get it all on the contracts too for those who are intrusted. Do you guys favor?"


    They all expressed their eptance, the meeting was adjourned. It was evening, the sun was about to set. You Xi Wang wanted to introduce 24 hours working policy but then he left it for the future. He worked and dealt with some more matters before Celestia called him. With a nodding gesture, the call connected and Celestia who was jumping like she was standing on a hot te came to his sight.


    This little girl was effortlessly adorable. You Xi Wang smiled at her antics. He spoke, "What happened Celes, why are you so energetic today?"


    Celestia immediately pouted her rosy lips and spoke in aining manner, "I told the big sister that you must have forgot about Lenaing over. Now my anxiety looks like energy to you. Big brother, you are a bully." she expressed her heart with no hesitation at all.


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, I am leaving office and will be home in a few minutes. Okay?"


    Celestia grinned wide but again asked, "Okay, I will have your white shirt and blue jeans prepared. Hehe.." her giggle had a touch of slyness in it.


    You Xi Wang noticed it and asked her, "Little fairy, tell me what is cooking in your brain? Tell me or I won''te home." he threatened her, shooting in the dark.


    "No, you muste. Okay, I will tell you. When Lena asked me where I got this video, I told her it was my big brother in the video, then when she asked me to arrange an appointment with her, I might have taken some VIP passes to her concerts in the future." she stuck out her pink tongue.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Who taught you all this?"


    Celestia gave him a smirk and said, "Granny Xin." she lifted her chin up to the sky acting smug as if she learned something really great and was looking at You Xi Wang as if he was dumb.


    You Xi Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "You smug little doll, just you wait for me to get home and I will teach you too." the two joked around for a bit and disconnected the call.


    He wrapped up the office work and left after informing Ste, who still had to stay for a few more minutes. It did not take You Xi Wang anymore than fifteen minutes to reach home. He saw Celestia was walking back and forth in front of his room holding his clothes and Emily was standing there. She gave him a wry smile and was about to speak when You Xi Wang gestured her to be silent.


    You Xi Wang used Maya''s invisibility skill and vanished from sight. Celestia turned and saw nobody. Just when she was about to turn again You Xi Wang picked her up in his arms and started tickling her. Bell-likeughter echoed in the corridor. All the servants who passed by saw this and smiled. You Xi Wang sat down on the floor and kept tickling the little girl until she was slightly out of breath. He did not let her go and asked, "Why are you not smug Celes?" he undid the skill and came into her vision.


    Celestia giggled and hugged him. You Xi Wang could do nothing else to her and stood up with her in his arms. Celestia pinched his nose and said, "Sorry, tickle monster."


    They bothughed and then You Xi Wang sent her away to see if Lena had arrived. Emily followed You Xi Wang to his room to check if he needed anything. Who knew he would take her to the shower and do erotic things to her. They had a good time, but they did not take thest step. Emily came out and dried herself. You Xi Wang also came out with a smirk on his face. Just as he was about to do something again, Celestia came shouting, "Big brother Lena is here. Come quickly."


    They both shook their head and after wearing his clothes he walked out of the room holding Emily''s hand.

 Chapter 102: Angel In Trouble.

    Chapter 102: Angel In Trouble.


    You Xi Wang came to the guest hall holding Emily''s boneless, soft hand. He was wearing a buttoned-down white shirt and blue jeans. In his neck hung a fine neck chain, one button of his shirt was left open making him look really dapper. His slightly long hair fell on his forehead, though he was irritated by it, he could never get them set the way he wanted. He kept flicking his head on the way, but the hair just won''t budge. Emily tried setting it than for him but it did not work.


    Celestia was chatting with a beautiful young girl with much enthusiasm. There were some other kids from the family too. The beautiful girl was also smiling and talking with all of them with no facade. You Xi Wang observed her from the doorway, Emily also did the same and whispered to You Xi Wang, "Young Master, this girl is a looker."


    You Xi Wang replied, " but she ain''tpeting with you, three sisters. You are in a different league."


    Emily blushed but felt very content inside. Just as she was getting ahead in her thoughts, her hand was tugged by You Xi Wang, who gestured her to follow him inside the hall. Some kids saw You Xi Wang approaching, and they cheered.


    A little girl only three-four years old ran to him with a smile. Her hair was tied in two pigtails on both sides of her head, blinking ck eyes, and a cute round Babyface. You Xi Wang smiled and lifted her. He spoke, "Hello, munchkin."


    The girl smiled and spoke, "Xixi, candy." this girl is niece to You Xi Wang, one of his cousin''s daughter. When she was about to be born You Xi Wang''s cousin and her father were attacked by a group of dark dwellers. Her father died, her mother was injured before the executioners could arrive. After the incident, her mother came back to the You mansion. This girl was called, Lily. During the attack, her brain was affected by dark energy. She waspletely normal except for thepse in speaking. You family never discriminated against her. She could not speak proper sentences but can speak in broken words.


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Only two, and you have to brush before sleeping." he always kept some candy and choctes with him, so he took to candies from his space ring and gave it to the girl. The girl smiled rubbed his nose with her and pecked his cheeks before saying, "Thank Xixi, best" You Xi Wang also rubbed her nose and said, "Lily best, wee." they both chuckled and You Xi Wang put the girl down.


    The other kids also came to him like an army, they all spoke, "Uncle Xi Wang, we want candy too." they all were in sync.


    You Xi Wang did not know if he shouldugh or cry. He spoke, "How many times do you little rascals rob us, siblings of candies, be careful not to get cavities. You all get two each, Okay?" he shook his head and distributed the candy.


    He spoke, "Okay, go tell your parents to gather in the garden. We will have fun."


    "YAY!" the kids cheered and ran to tell their parents. You Xi Wang watched them with a smile. He heard a sigh behind him and turned to see the young girl who was talking to Celestia sighed when the kids ran away. Sensing a gaze, the girl looked up to You Xi Wang and spoke with a wry smile, "Kids are too energetic, I am not very good at handling them."


    You Xi Wang gave her one of his dazzling smiles and blew the girl''s mind away. The girl was as beautiful as Yuki inparison, just as her eyes were green round. She wore a blue round neck t-shirt and white jeans. She had an oval face, thin lips, eyebrows like curved, golden-brown hair. She looked beautiful. Celestia stood up from her side and came to You Xi Wang, held his hand, and said, "This is my big Brother, You Xi Wang. CEO of Tianlong Group, Inventor of Guitar, and also the head of You Family. He is my favorite person"


    Then she introduced the girl, "This here is, Lena Light, an idol of Metropia. She has 15 hits out of 15 songs she sang till now and her dance videos are also hit. I like her very much." her words caused the girl to giggle while You Xi Wang shook his head.


    You Xi Wang noticed an elderly woman was also seated on the couch so he asked, "Who is this elder?" his manner was polite, and the woman nodded in praise. She was about to stand up when You Xi Wang came to her side and squatted down in front of her. He said, "In our family, elderly guests do not have to stand up in front of youngsters, please speak while seating."


    The elder woman smiled and said, "My name is Amanda Light, I am Lena''s grandmother. I rarelye out, but when I saw your video, and Lena told me she wanted to meet you and learn. I thought abouting too. I hope you don''t mind the intrusion, Young Master You."


    You Xi Wang waved his hand and spoke with a smile, "It is our pleasure Grandma Light, and please call me Xiao Wang, you are my elder and you don''t need the honorifics."


    Lena saw her grandmother smile, and she also developed a good image of You Xi Wang in her heart. She spoke, "Young Master You, I heard from Celestia that you also invented a musical Instrument. Can you show me that as well?"


    You Xi Wang did not mind and said, "How about I teach you these two things and you help me advertise my Guitar product?"


    Lena Light was a sharp girl and understood You Xi Wang wanted her to advertise his product. She hesitated and said, "This... I can only go ahead after my agent says it is okay. I have a lot of endorsements, so I apologize. Please be rest assured I will ask my agent about it as soon as possible."


    You Xi Wang nodded and did not insist on it again. he took Lena and her grandmother to the garden where most of the family members were now gathered. Emily stood with Susan and You Zhichi. You Xi Wang pped and gathered everyone''s attention. Then he spoke in a loud and sonorous voice.


    "How about we all learn figure skating today?" and to his reply was a loud cheer from the family members. He then asked the ice attribute cultivators to freeze a section of the man-madeke in the garden. He went up to his sister, and she created ice des on his shoe soles. She also notices his hair falling on his face, so she set them over gently. You Xi Wang smiled and nudged her nose with his finger. She smacked his forehead gently. The You Family was very harmonious with each other. It was to an extent that Lena who was unaware of the family''s strength took it for weakness. She decided to reject the offer You Xi Wang made earlier..


    You may think that she is a cunning bitch, but she is actually just a dumb celebrity who has never been close to the field of humble businessman and chivalrous martial artists. Businessmen are always cunning, and martial artists are always arrogant in her perception. You Xi Wang gave Susan and Emily a quick kiss and came up to the bank of theke. Theke was now frozen, and he had created a soundtrack using some applications on his Holo-Phone.


    He took a step and came over the ice. He looked over at Lena and said, "I will do it first and you watch. Then you try to ask if you have any problems."


    Lena nodded this arrangement suited her. You Xi Wang stretched himself and did a few normalps for warmup. Then he came to a stop and tapped his Holo-phone. A tinkling sound then echoed in his ears. You Xi Wang started his performance. He ran anotherp and this time his speed was fast. Just when thep was about to end he jumped and did a full 360-degree spin with his hands crossed in front of his chest. Hended and his hands opened on his sides like wings. He did not use his feet to push himself forward but let the jump force take him forwards. He was gliding on the Ice. He then came to a stop.


    "You can do all the tricks just like this one after watching the video, right?" he asked Lena.


    She said yes and after casting an ice spell on her shoes. She also went over to the ice field to try skating her progress was slow but after a fewps she was confident and jumped up like You Xi Wang but she fumbled and thending was ruined. She tumbled forward, she screamed and fell forward.


    On the side, her grandmother shouted anxiously, "Lenaa.."


    But just as Lena was about to bust up her pretty face, she felt a hand around her waist, holding her up. She had closed her eyes from the fear of falling. She opened her eyes and saw You Xi Wang holding her waist, preventing her from falling. He looked very dashing.


    ''Although weak, but he is very handsome. Maybe I could try it and get to know him first.'' this was the first thought in her mind.


    You Xi Wang help her up and came to a stop. He said, "How about I lead and you follow? I can also show you some moves that you can do with the male lead of your videos?"


    Lena subconsciously nodded and extended her hand for You Xi Wang to hold. The boy grabbed it and wondered, ''Whoa, so soft. Maybe it''s her idol halo.''


    He then started skating while holding the girl''s hand. At this moment unaware to him, a pair of cold eyes was focused on him. You Xi Wang showed Lena the ropes of jumps andndings, and when he came to the edge, he felt his shirt was grabbed by someone from the neck. He turned and saw Yuki staring him dead in the eye.


    "Beauty... Yu... Yuki.." he stammered.

 Chapter 103: The Dance Of Ice & Fire.

    Chapter 103: The Dance Of Ice & Fire.


    Yuki was staring at You Xi Wang, and the guy was so scared that cold sweat emerged on his forehead. Everyone around could only shake their heads. Who asked him to teach the other girl in front of his girlfriendS. After watching him stammering, Yuki softened her gaze and said.


    "You were punished?" her tone wasmanding.


    "Yes." You Xi Wang replied in an instant.


    "You deserved it. Who asked you to go to the life and death tform with that big bastard. What if he undid his seal before you could pressurize him? Did you forget he was suppressing himself? Huh. And what are you doing here? Ice Angel, do you want me to be the Fire Demon and melt your third leg?" as she spoke her tone got stern. Thest sentence scared You Xi Wang, obviously he knew she was joking and won''t harm him but physiologically, you threaten a man with his balls. He will get scared.


    "No, please don''t be angry beauty Yuki. How about I teach you a dance? A dance only for us?" You Xi Wang spoke in a soft tone. His attempt to coax this girl worked as she replied, "Humph, depends on your effort."


    He took her hand and gazed into her eyes. His gaze made Yuki freeze. A slight blush emerged on her face but she did not avoid his deep ck eyes. The boy spoke in a soft voice, "Let''s change our clothes, and let me arrange the set up for us?"


    Yuki could only nod stiffly as her heart was beating quick, it was almost jumping out of her mouth. Regardless of the overbearing demeanor, she was still a teenage girl inexperienced in the matters of the heart. You Xi Wang asked Emily to get a crystal-studded red one-piece dress for Yuki and a White and blue crystal-studded jumpsuit for him. He also asked for matching essories. He gestured his cousins to set up some spotlights on the edge and set them to follow two people. These lights could be set to shine on a single person.


    Lena was also watching all this and thought that You Xi Wang was really weak to be over-powered by a girl. She wanted to leave but was curious about what kind of performance he was going to do. She did not hold any hopes, though. In her view, ice skating was just a little difficult. If one can pay attention, then they can get it done with ease. You Xi Wang used the song from a famous anime he watched back on Earth. He used his Holo-phone to skillfully arrange a score with the help of an app and connected it to the speakers he asked his cousins to arrange.


    The setup wasplete, and he rushed to change his attire. He saw a jumpsuit was already delivered and the boutique efficiently pasted some crystals on the left side of his chest, the back portion of the right side. He still felt that something was missing, so he searched the stuff in his room. He found some greyish feathers. These feathers were memorable when his father took them camping and they hunted a Swan-like beast. He used the super glue, he had in his room and pasted the feathers carefully on his right shoulder. The dress was now more elegant and easy on the eyes.


    He took a shower, used some hair wax to set his hair in a back brushed manner, and let a bundle of strands fall on his forehead. He put on the dress and when he was ready, he called Emily to go out and leave Yuki for him to escort to the ice pond. He checked himself onest time in the mirror and walked out of the room. The few maids who saw him on the way to Emily''s room, where Yuki was waiting, were stunned. Some even had drooling out, yes that was how handsome he looked at this moment.


    Yuki heard a knock on the door and when the door opened she froze. In front of her stood a handsome hunk gazing and her without blinking. You Xi Wang also froze when he saw Yuki dressed in the ember red one-piece. Her curves were so well defined. Though she was a teenager. She was looking exquisite. There was red makeup around her eyes, her lips were also colored a bright red. She was a fire in every sense, capable of burning cities with just a nce from those sharp eyes.


    You Xi Wang came to his senses and came to hold her hand. Yuki also came out of her stupor and gave him a sweet smile.


    You Xi Wang whispered after cing his mouth next to her ears, "You look so beautiful, my love."


    Yuki blushed and said, "You too, are very handsome, darling."


    They exchanged a nce and spoke in unison, "Ugh, cringy." they giggled and walked out holding each other''s hand.


    ...


    Lena smiled and exchanged a few words with some people who came to click photographs with her. She was maintaining her image of an idol. Suddenly, the lights went out and everyone fell silent. You Xi Wang arranged for little Celestia to be the introducer.


    Celestia put on ice des created by You Zhichi and skated her way to the center of the ice ring in her cute pink dress. She spoke in a sweet voice, "Ladies and Gentleman, I, Celestia, proudly present to you a special performance dedicated to big sister Yuki Ushijima by our very own Big Brother You Xi Wang. The song of Ice and Fire performed by none other than, Big Sister Yuki and Big Brother Xi Wang. Give them a big apuse." with pping of her small hands, she quickly glided on the ice to head to the edge like a pixie.


    The family all pped and cheered. The lights fell on the left corner of the ice pond. Everybody saw two figures holding hands standing there. You Xi Wang nodded, and the music started. Holding Yuki, he glided on the ice. After ap, he was skating in reverse. Yuki also followed his lead and extended her left hand outside and stood on one leg, while her right hand was held by You Xi Wang. He was guiding her with soul sense. The music changed beats, and they took some sharp turns. They were very graceful and looked beautiful. You Xi Wang pivoted on his toes and spun Yuki around him once and let go of her hand. Yuki was also following the music now, and whenever she felt it was good enough, she would jump. they were both like mirror images. Doing the same jump on the opposite side. They would meet in the center but then after a brief spin around or graze past, they continued like earlier. The entire crowd was mesmerized.


    You Xi Wang glided and came to Yuki and held her willow waist. He pushed his legs forward, and they both moved. Yuki matched his steps, lifting the same foot as he was at this moment. With a sharp turn on the floor he glided in an arc, he held Yuki up in the air as he was spinning on his toes. Yuki arced her body with her hands stretched outward and her eyes facing the sky. After a few spins, You Xi Wang brought her down with care. He held her waist again, and they kept moving. They jumped and spun. When the music was getting fast again You Xi Wang lifted her again but this time only a little and Yuki kept one of her hands on his shoulder, while the other extended outwards. Her legs bent from her knees to the direction of her outstretched arm. They spun and Yuki''s dress which was slightly loose below the waist fluttered.


    You Naixin spoke in the crowd, "Like a me fluttering in a blizzard." The performance ended. The dance was mesmerizing. The audience was still waiting for more. Lily, who was in You Fengxian''s(her mother) arms pped and said, "Xixi, good dance." Her voice woke up others from their stupor and they all pped. The whole mansion was echoing with a shower of apuse. You Xi Wang held Yuki''s hand and came to the center of the ice pond. He lifted his left arm in the air and bowed to the crowd. Yuki did the same with her right arm.


    Some family members were even yelling for them to do it once more. Lena was shocked. Her view and imagination were nothingpared to the performance she had just witnessed. Amanda on her side was pping with a face full of smiles. She really enjoyed the performance. The lights turned on and You Xi Wang came to the edge with Yuki. Susan came to him and hugged them both tightly.


    "You two were so amazing, Xi Wang, I also want to do this once okay?" she spoke in aining tone. Before You Xi Wang could reply Yuki held her hand and said, "I will make him do it even if you don''t say big sis Suzi. Don''t show him love or he might get ahead of himself." she stuck her tongue at You Xi Wang and hid behind Susan. The boy only shook his head. Emily came and kissed You Xi Wang''s cheek as she whispered something in his ears. You Zhichi came to his side and stood there with a smile on his face.


    You Xi Wang hugged her and asked, "Is something wrong?"


    You Zhichi just hugged him and said, "Nothing." she was missing her parents tonight. If they could see how much this boy has grown up wouldn''t they be happy with them? You Xi Wang seems to have felt her emotions and said, "If you cry again I will not talk to you, crybaby chichi. Don''t falter, for you have me. Please."


    They separated from the hug and You Zhichi kissed his forehead. She spoke with an affectionate tone, "Yes, I have my brother."


    The rest of the family alsoplimented them and some cousins teased You Xi Wang and Yuki. Lena and her grandmother also came over, but at this moment a maid came to You Xi Wang and whispered something in his ears. His eye became cold and the aura around him changed. He was like a demon from hell. He lost control and yelled.


    "I WILL HAVE THEM EAT THEIR HEARTS TODAY."


    Everyone was shocked by this roar. They knew it was really rare for You Xi Wang to lose control. They wondered what caused this.

 Chapter 104: Feeding Some Love.

    Chapter 104: Feeding Some Love.


    The aura emitted by You Xi Wang was so strong that even a Core formation realm practitioner like You Naixin was surprised. She yelled, "Xiao Wang." and with a wave of her sleeves, the pressure dispersed. You Xi Wang clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and calmed down a bit, but when he opened his eye, they were red. Everyone realized he was angry. Emily asked the maid who was shocked and scared after You Xi Wang erupted and she was standing really close to him.


    Emily spoke, "Sharon. What is it?"


    Before Sharon could speak You Xi Wang spoke in a calm voice, "Everyone, gather in the main hall. Excluding kids."


    After leaving these words behind, he left towards his room. He changed his clothes into a ck shirt and trousers. It all ck. It was his subconscious reaction. He would go for dark clothes when having a surge of negative emotions such as gloom, anger. He left his room and was walking towards the main hall. You Zhichi caught up on the way and told him that Lena and her grandmother also wanted to stay for a bit. It turned out that the maid told everyone that the incident was rted to dark dwellers and the olddy was an old council official. She was also a victim of these bastards and hated them from the depth of her bones. She wanted to stay in case they needed any help with this matter.


    You Xi Wang did not speak and only nodded. A few momentster they arrived at the main hall and all the family members were present. Except for the kids. They were sent to their rooms. They all saw You Xi Wang and greeted him in unison, and You Xi Wang nodded. He stepped up and sat down on his throne.


    He nced around and saw that people were looking curiously at him. You Xi Wang spoke in a sonorous voice.


    "Today, the family is called upon because I wanted to deliver a message to you all. The You Family does not bow down to the dark dwellers or any such scum. Is it understood?"


    "Yes." the crowd shouted in reply.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Bring them in."


    Four guards of the family wearing silver-ck battle suits brought two people inside the main hall. The couple was kept at gunpoint. Their hands were cuffed and a very high-density puck was tied to their feet. Their cultivation was also sealed. They were just like ordinary humans at the moment. The guards made the couple stop in the center of the hall. They pushed them down on the knee.


    Then Robert and a servant came inside the hall they were carrying two children in their arms. The children were not breathing. Their eyes were open and there was a wound on their chest. They had scared expressions on their faces. The couple kneeling in the hall saw theme, and they licked their lips. They tried to charge towards the children''s bodies but were kicked down by the guards. Robert came to the hall and stood there in silence, waiting for his young master to speak.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "These two people are dark dwellers. The two kids held by Robert and Uncle Sebastian were originally from our family''s Limao Foundation. These two came in and adopted the children a week ago, they were told that they have to visit the foundation office every week on Sunday for us to see if they are taking good care of the children they agreed. They missed two weeks in session and when an invigtor of the foundation went to check on them, he found that this lot of scum had killed the children and were now preparing to run away with the corpses. After a brief investigation, it was found that they belong to the corpse sect and they refine corpse puppets. They dig out the hearts of the target, eat it in front of them, and then refine the puppet. Fortunately, the invigtor called the guards. They nabbed them before they could run away."


    The whole hall was silent. You Shan Wang stepped forward and said, "Xiao Wang, kill them. They don''t deserve to live." he unsheathed his sword but before he could sh You Xi Wang stopped him, "Big brother, wait. This death is too easy for them. They need to experience fear. I promise you all that they will beg for death."


    Amanda, who was sat beside You Naixin looked at You Xi Wang. She nodded in approval. This sh would be too easy for them, and she looked forward to what he might do. Just when the crowd settled down, they heard a burst of creepyughter. They found the couple wasughing.


    The man looked at You Xi Wang and spoke, "You want to scare us? How, by torturing us? You are being a tiger because our cultivation is sealed. Dare you to release us and I will show you you are just a paper tiger."


    You Xi Wang took a deep breath and said, "Release him." his two words triggered a wave in the hall. Elders stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, don''t get provoked by his words. He wants to y mind games with you."


    You Xi Wang only looked at You Zhichi. You Zhichi saw her brother was confident. She stood up from her seat and said, "Release him."


    The elders quietened, they realized that You Xi Wang was not hot-headed but quite the opposite. He was very calm at this moment. Susan and Emily have not seen You Xi Wang in any real battle and were nervous, Yuki who stood next to them smiled and whispered, "This guy will regret demanding freedom. Don''t worry."


    Her words were heard by severaldies in the family. They all realized that they did not know You Xi Wang other than being the youngest child in the generation, who was a pampered prince of the family. They also anticipated the progression of this event.


    The guard on the side did not hesitate, they were totally sure to act if needed. He pressed a button on the sleeve of his suit and the shackles unlocked and the cultivation of the guy also got unsealed. The shackles injected a serum to seal the cultivation when the prisoner is suppressed. The antidote is released when the shackles are unlocked ifmanded, or it will stay sealed. The surge of Dark Qi inside, made him cheer. He stretched his hands and tilted his head. He looked around and spoke to You Xi Wang in a provoking manner.


    "Kid, you have a lot of beauties gathered here. I wonder if there are also kids in this noble house. How about I refine them as well? Hehehe." his tone was very creepy and some kids with low-level cultivation felt their hair standing on the ends. You Xi Wang was very calm. He waved his hand and a pair of gloved appeared in his hands. He did not speak a single word and put on the gloves. He took a step forward, and he was already in front of the man. Given his physique, he was taller than him. He bent his head and looked down on the man.


    The dark dweller was surprised and before he could react he felt a strong pain in his gut. His body turned into a < figure and he flew into the marble pir.


    BAM


    He was spread across the pir as if a poster. You Xi Wang moved again and came next to him, waved his hand, a needle appeared in his hand. He stabbed the man with him and stepped back casually. The entire hall was stuck to see this. They did not expect this boy to be so strong. You Xi Wang did not even give the other person a chance. Lena was shocked to her core. She could not imagine that this smiling, easy-going boy could be so domineering and cold.


    The man fell down from the pir. He shivered and started screaming. He looked towards You Xi Wang and shouted, "Boy, what did you do to me? You devil."


    You Xi Wang smiled. He startedughing. Hisugh scared the people more than the dark dweller. He abruptly stopped and said, "Yes, I am a devil from hell itself and my job is to send you pieces of filth to meet King Yama. Oh, I just stabbed you with a needle covered with the poison of the Pain-inducing Leach. Come, let''s dance."


    Everyone understood what Pain-inducing leach was and how effective its poison was. You Xi Wang was really cruel to these dark dwellers. They all shook their heads and prayed that this guy to die early.


    You Xi Wang moved and came in front of him and jabbed the man. Before the man could even shout in pain, another fist shed. You Xi Wang was punching this guy but not too hard. He would take a step back after every punch. He was jumping on his toes and hitting him ording to the out boxing style he learned in his previous life. The man could do nothing but just scream and wail in pain. This style was effective in dealing with people quickly and confusing them. It also looked cool. Yuki was already busy clicking his pictures and share themter. Lena was shocked to see how elegant he was looking at this moment.


    Suddenly the youngsters in the hall could not help but started cheering, "WAR GOD, WAR GOD, WAR GOD" the elders smiled, and the man kept screaming. Amanda spoke to You Naixin, "This boy, why is he such."


    You Naixin spoke with a sad smile, "He was a momma''s boy a few months ago but his parents were killed by the dark dwellers. He suffered a big trauma, when he recovered it became a different story altogether. He has killed a few dark dwellers since then."


    Amanda nodded, she could rte to his situation. She had lost her children to these dark dwellers. You Xi Wang came to the woman and dragged her by her hair, showing no gender discrimination, to where the man was screaming. He looked at the man and said, "I will give you an antidote. You just have to cut out her heart and eat it now."


    The man was so desperate that he did not need a second nudge and quickly used his fingers and dug them inside the woman''s chest. That woman kept pleading with him, she even asked him to stop for the sake of love. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Don''t worry, you are feeding him your love."


    The man dug out her heart amidst the building eyes of the onlookers You Xi Wang smiled. They did not imagine him to be so cruel. Lena and Emily even puked. The man took a bite on the beating heart held in his hand and the woman''s eyes dimmed. You Xi Wang couldn''t care less. He bent down and said, "Good." and gave the man the antidote.


    The man had just felt relieved when he again felt being stabbed. He saw You Xi Wang holding a needle. The man cried, "KILL ME, PLEASE KILL ME. YOU MADE ME EAT ANNA''S HEART. KILL ME ALREADY, YOU DEVIL." his voice was hoarse.


    You Xi Wang did not bother and started punching him again. After five minutes he stopped again. The man crawled on the floor and looked around and begged the people to kill him, but nobody came forward. He looked to You Xi Wang and kept begging. The handsome devil smirked and said, "Dig out your heart and get free from all the pain."


    The man looked at him and after a pause, he dug his bloody hands in his chest and tore it apart. The pain was too much after being poisoned, he died. The hall was silent.

 Chapter 105: Dominance.

    Chapter 105: Dominance.


    The entire hall was shrouded in silence. This silence was quite opposite to the shouts inside their heart at this moment. They all always saw dark dwellers as subjects, who would make you realize death is better than life. They were the most notorious beings on the face of the. Now in front of this teenager, two corpse refiners died so miserably. They wished to die, but it was not given to them. They could digest the fact that a person dug someone else''s heart out, but even doing the same to himself. It was the perfect example of separation he was experiencing at that moment.


    You Xi Wang spoke while he stood in the center of the hall, "You all may think I am cruel, nasty, and a lot more bad things. I do not care. When I see these dark dwellers harming innocent people, the only thing that matters to me is to erase their existence from this world. We have lost a lot of close ones to these scum. Brother Tyler, Lily''s father, was also a good man. One day these bastards attacked a mall and kill for their enjoyment. Big Brother Tyler fought back to save sister Fengxian. Do you think Lily, deserves to grow up without her father? Have you seen that child, trying to hide her pain of not being able to speak normally with a brave smile? Does she deserve to have pain like that? No, she does not. What wrong did my parentsmit? They were good people. They did charity, had a benevolent heart, but these bastards. They took them away from us."


    He paused, his eyes were already reddening. He continued with a loud voice and domineering tone, "If you think I am a Demon, yes, I am one for these dark dwellers. If you look down on me, that''s fine, you have your opinion and I don''t care about it. I only care about a handful of things. One of them being, cleaning up the trash of nature. I will not allow even the gods to stop me, let alone mortal individuals. Beware, if I found anyone from our family hesitating in ying these fuckers, it will be your head on my sword. DO YOU GET IT?"


    "YES, YOUNG MASTER." the family replied in unison. They were well aware and knew that You Xi Wang will do what he said, so they put more effort into cultivation and be helpful to him. You Xi Wang waved his hand and asked Robert and the other elder to clean the room. He directed the elders to first check the identities of the people whoe to adopt kids in the foundation.


    The Limao Foundation was a front but the children who were screened to be not eligible to receive training were all up for the adoption process, while those who were screened to be good were trained in information gathering, surveince, assassination by You Naixin, Chen Qianbei and some of their loyal handymen. The entire process was treated to be top secret. The children were bound by the heavenly oath, and the same goes for the instructors. Despite the training, the children were provided with education just like the normal children of the. This was a method used to let the children have a way to blend in with society.


    The children killed by the dark dwellers were from the normal adoption process. They were innocent, and they were both just as old as Celestia. You Xi Wang hated dark dwellers from the depth of his whole existence. After handling the funeral for the children You Xi Wang asked Yuki to contact her parents and see if they will provide some help in investigating the background of the people whoe over to adopt the kids. This step should have been taken earlier and it would have saved these two kids, You Xi Wang shook his head ming himself for being too careless.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Adjourned." his dominance was reflected by the action of the family members. They all left the hall in an orderly manner. Leaving only the elders, You Zhichi in the hall. You Xi Wang was about to speak when he saw that Amanda and Lena were still sitting in the hall. Amanda sensed his gaze and said, "This olddy lost his eldest son and daughter-inw to dark dwellers. Lena was two years old. Today I found out that you also suffered grievance in their hands. I only advise that you always remember what you are because sometimes we be what we hate."


    She stood up, nodded to the fellow elders, turned to leave the hall when You Xi Wang spoke behind her, "Thank you for the teaching, elder. I will always remember your words. Please wait in the guest hall I will see you after finishing the matters here."


    She nodded without turning, Lena held her hand and led her out of the hall. She passed a few sneaky nces to You Xi Wang, who was sitting on the throne. At this moment, You Xi Wang was just as she imagined a man of her dreams should be. She felt guilty for thinking that he was just a boy toy she could keep. She even thought that this guy was shared by the three girls because of his face and trivial skills. Despite being an Idol herself, the man she dreamed of was a martial artist and a strong one at that. Ironic isn''t it.


    ...


    Lena and her grandmother came out of the hall. They were just wondering about where to go and Emily appeared. Lena took the lead and said, "Excuse me, can you tell us where should we go to reach the guest hall?"


    Emily smiled and said, "Yes, please follow me."


    They nodded and followed the beauty. On the way, a lot of staff members met her and greeted her, "Head of staff."


    Emily smiled and nodded in return, and they reached the guest hall in just a few moments. Amanda was curious about Emily and could not help but ask, "Little girl, if you don''t mind, this old woman has a question."


    Emily led Amanda to sit down, and she replied with a smile, "What can I do for you, Elder?"


    Amanda spoke, "The staff addressed you as the head of staff. That means you are the manager of this mansion, right?" Emily only nodded with slight confusion.


    Amanda continued, "Then can you tell me what is your rtion with Young Master You?"


    Emily now understood and replied truthfully, "Xi Wang and I are a couple. May I ask why?"


    Amanda saw the two acting close in the garden but did not expect it to be true. She asked, "Then the girl he danced with is also his girlfriend?"


    Emily nodded and said, "Elder, You Xi Wang has three girlfriends, Yuki, Dr. Susan, and me. But I don''t know why you are asking."


    Amanda spoke, "I thought, I should encourage my granddaughter to see him more, but now that he has three of you I don''t think it is good."


    Lena yelled with a faint blush on her face, "Grandma..."


    Emily smiled and said, "You Xi Wang is not like those vicious men, elder. The moment he proposed to me, he told me he will have women other than me too. Same for sister Susan and Yuki. This matter depends entirely on fate. None of us can push You Xi Wang to do anything he doesn''t want to."


    Amanda nodded and said, "True, well that boy is too likable."


    Emily nodded and after some small talk, she called a maid to serve them tea and attended to them till You Xi Wang arrived after dealing with some matters in the family. You Xi Wang got to know that Amanda was once a high-level council official who dealt with social welfare. He also asked her to give some valuable advice after observing the working method of the foundation to help them reach more ces and help the kids.


    Amanda happily agreed and also said that she will call for some more patrons to raise funds for the welfare. This made You Xi Wang thrilled. Amanda was a council veteran and she must have developed some very good contacts despite the social welfare department being closed. It was decided that Amanda would take Emily with her to see the foundation. Thetter agreed with the proposal. She had the identity of You Xi Wang''s girlfriend/ the head of staff for the family. Lena meanwhile contacted her agent and expressed her desire to advertise the guitar.


    The agent was reluctant at first but when he saw the initial results of the product, he contacted Lena in a flurry and asked her to arrange a meeting with You Xi Wang so he could discuss the terms and payout for the campaign. Lena ryed the news to You Xi Wang, and the time for the meeting was set.


    They left the mansion after a few minutes. Yuki came over and she spent some good time with You Xi Wang in the garden and reluctantly left when her mother came to pick her up. They were aware of the sensation they have created tonight. The night went by calmly.


    You Xi Wang woke up with a scream in his room.

 Chapter 106: MetroFrame.

    Chapter 106: MetroFrame.


    You Xi Wang looked and saw Celestia was shouting in excitement. This little girl is just too hyped. She saw You Xi Wang waking up and directly jumped on the bed and came to his side. She snuggled up to him, You Xi Wang only patted her back and said in a soft voice.


    "My lovely fairy please calm down, big brother wants to sleep a bit more. Okay, we will talk when I wake up" it was just an excuse, You Xi Wang did not sleep these days. He would just lie down and continue to refine the spiritual energy by creating ayer of all attribute spiritual energy. He would do this for 8 hours a day. This process helped him in consolidating a strong foundation in his cultivation. He will encounter fewer bottleneckster. Celestia thought he was sleepy so she just hugged him and soon she fell asleep. Maya on the side woke up, came to You Xi Wang, and slept on his chest, absorbing her daily spiritual share from him. This was just to strengthen the bond between the two unlike earlier when she needed his power to provide her with energy for a few days.


    Maya had grown up a bit, she was now twice her original size but looked as beautiful as ever. The trio was sleeping when You Zhichi entered the room. She smiled when she saw this. You Xi Wang sensed her presence and smiled. She sat down beside and You Xi Wang shifted his head to herp and turned on his sides. Celestia was also grabbed by him. Now a boy, a wolf pup, and a girl were sleeping with their heads in herp. You Zhichi only shook her head helplessly. Celestia was just like this whenever she woke her up.


    You Zhichi smilingly caressed the head of the boy and the girl. Her expression was full of affection. You Xi Wang got up after a few minutes and looked at his sister who was pampering them. He decided that he would also pamper her the same way. The siblings sat next to each other without saying anything. It was azy morning for them. Celestia woke up after a few minutes, like a squirrel she came to sit between You Xi Wang and You Zhichi. She waved her hand and her Holo-phone deployed a tiny bead in the air. She blinked and the bead clicked a picture. The bead came back to her Holo-phone and a holographic picture appeared in front of them.


    You Xi Wang was on the left side with his eyes half open half closed, You Zhichi on the right smiling brightly with Maya in herp, and Celestia making a V symbol with her fingers. The girls giggled at You Xi Wang''s expression a bit. The atmosphere in the room was very warm. You Xi Wang''s Holo-phone rang. His sister had ess to all his devices, so she epted the call. Lena''s face appeared in front of her. She wondered if she is getting another sister-inw.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Hello, good morning. My brother is still not properly awake. Is there anything important, Lena?" they had met on the previous night so they were a bit familiar.


    Lena nodded, "Good morning, actually it''s about two things. The first is about the appointment I have with yourpany today for the advertisement campaign. Another thing is I wanted to congratte him for bing this week''s top video on Metr."


    On the side, You Xi Wang opened his eyes wide. He was about to ask what was going on when he understood why the little fairy was excited in the morning. Turned out this girl again recorded the whole thing and uploaded it on Metr. He shook his head helplessly and again closed his eyes back to the way they were. The two girls on the side talked a bit and discussed some stuff regarding the meeting. You Zhichi disconnected the call and said, "Bro, go get ready. We have a meeting in two hours plus you have to go to the recruitment drive as well."


    You Xi Wang looked at her with a smile and obediently nodded. He was about to enter the shower when he turned and said, "Big sis, I have a business Idea. Call in the director of Pro-Code for me. I want to see her before I attend the recruitment drive."


    You Zhichi only replied with an Okay. She gave Petra Fisher a call to tell her that the CEO wants to meet her ASAP. Thetter agreed without a second dy. She understood how big it was if the CEO is calling her for a meeting so urgently. You Zhichi got up and left to dress after kissing Celestia goodbye. Celestia stayed in the bed stroking and talking to Maya, who just looked at her blinking her eyes from time to time. Maya could not understand why this little girl was so chirpy all the time. But well, she did not mind it.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was wearing a blue shirt and ck trousers paired with formal ck leather shoes. Celestia who saw him getting ready spoke, "Big brother, I miss aunty bei. When will shee back." Chen Qianbei had returned to the Chen family to handle the matters there. She was the matriarch and should not stay away from home for extended periods. Though the three kids would call her daily after dinner still they missed her. You Xi Wang pondered a bit and said, "How about we go a meet her next weekend."


    Celestia jumped up excitedly, "Yes, I love you big brother, you are the best." she threw herself in his arms. She really loved this second family of hers. You Xi Wang patted her head and smiled. He held her in his arms and walked out with Maya following behind him. He spoke on the way, "You little fairy, your buttering is getting better every day, huh?" he pinched her small nose gently. The girl giggled. You Naixin appeared in front of the loving duo and her temper was not looking good.


    She spoke, "Celestia, you arete for the calligraphy sses." Celestia hurriedly jumped out of You Xi Wang''s arms and bowed her head in apology. She spoke in a pitiful voice, "Granny, I slept in today, I will go there after taking a shower and I will study extra today in repentance."


    You Naixin nodded and approved of her attitude. Handing over the girl to You Naixin, our protagonist made his way to the parking area where You Zhichi was ready for him in a steel gray office suit and stilettos. She tied her hair in a high pony-tail and beneath the coat, she was wearing a chiffon white shirt. She had gray aviators covering her eyes. Her vibe was that of a big boss through and through.


    You Xi Wang felt he was somewhatcking in formal attirepared to his sister. You Zhichi saw this and with a wave of her hand, a ck coat and tie appeared. She gave them to You Xi Wang and sat down in the car. The boy scratched the back of his head. His sister knew him way too well. Today they had to dress up formally because You Xi Wang was going to interview some people. He got in the car and the two arrived at their destination, the Tianlong technologies office. You Xi Wang got out of the car, he was wearing the thin ck tie. You Zhichi came to him and smacked the back of his head then took the coat from his hands and helped him wear it. You Xi Wang gave her a sheepish smile. She shook her head and said, "Grow up, gougou. What will the staff think if they heard their boss don''t know how to tie a knot?"


    You Xi Wang was nodding his head like a chick pecking rice. Robert could not help but smile. The siblings walked inside the office side by side. The duo was so dynamic that the staff could not help but feel awe. The male staff worshipped You Zhichi as a goddess, with no dirty thoughts at all. The female staff however were smitten by their handsome god. If they had it their way they would tear You Xi Wang to pieces and eat him with a spoon. The staff greeted them with respect.


    They arrived at the top floor and after a high five walked to their cabins separately with their secretaries. You Xi Wang asked his sister to deal with Lena''s advertisement meeting because he was not good at negotiating prices and all. He took off his coat and hung it on the hook in the corner of the room. Folded his sleeves and started sorting through the documents while waiting for Petra to arrive. Today he was going to make another world-shaking proposal.


    In another thirty minutes, Petra arrived in the office wearing a jet-ck one-piece formal dress. Her long legs and curvy figure attracted the attention of many men, Her feet adorned by a single anklet and she was wearing ck pump high heels. She confidently walked on the top floor and on the way crossed Lena and her agent. They nodded to each other for courtesy. Lena had juste out of the room after the advertisement deal was confirmed. She was still a bit disappointed about not getting to meet You Xi Wang. Just when she was about to go down in the elevator. She heard a calm and crisp voice, "Miss Ste, I am notte, am I?" she saw Petra talking to Ste and heading towards You Xi Wang''s office.


    Her disappointment turned into vignce. She wanted to get to know You Xi Wang more now. Petra knocked and a calm voice came from the other side, "Come in." Petra took in a deep breath and walked into the room after opening the door.


    She saw a handsome boy wearing a blue shirt working through the documents at a very fast speed, but his expression was notx and was paying attention to everything in the documents. She finally understood why this guy was called the maestro.


    "Sit down, Petra" You Xi Wang spoke without stopping his work.


    Petra sat down and greeted him, "Good morning, Boss."


    You Xi Wang stopped his work and looked up at her face, she had only worn eyeliner and lip color as makeup. She was very much to You Xi Wang''s taste but right now was a formal meeting so he decided not to flirt.


    He returned her greeting and spoke, "How is the gameing up?"


    Petra replied, "Boss the initial work is done and we are now just fine-tuning the graphics and control UI. We will send the game into BETA-TESTING after showing it to you. It will take one week only."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "I have another thing. You must know that we are setting up a customer care unit. I want you guys to assimte a link to contact a representative of thepany in case the users face any troubles. They will be provided full support in terms of technical problems. Also, make sure you state that the privilege of gaming will be revoked if their ims are found baseless. You can talk to your teamter in detail, Okay."


    Petra was aware but did not know that the gaming division will also get a dedicated team. She epted it with gratitude. You Xi Wang talk a little about this topic and the more he talked the more Petra was surprised at the way this guy was thinking. You Xi Wang paused and said, "Get me a team to develop an app. This app will provide people an opportunity to share the picture they click with the world. Idols and celebrities can also use it to gain poprity. The products can be advertised by this. Small businessmen in remote areas can also use it for business. We will charge thework providers. The more people use this the more they will use thework. You will oversee this project."


    Petra was surprised at first and then it was a deep shock because she never thought thatputer technology could be used like that. They talked about this in detail and the n was formed. You Xi Wang recorded all the content in a documented form and provided Petra with it. He asked her to get theyoutpleted in a week and they will fine-tune it together. The app was named MetroFrame.


    After the meeting he sorted his clothes and took up his coat asked her toe along with him. He wanted her to select some young programmers in the recruitment drive.

 Chapter 107: Boring.

    Chapter 107: Boring.


    You Xi Wang went to his sister to pass her a copy of the n for Metr. He asked her to look at it and edit anything which can be added or subtracted. You Zhichi felt very touched by this gesture of his. He was the CEO and could do anything he wanted to, even so, he came and gave her the n. She loved her brother very much, and he also cared very much about her. You Xi Wang came to Petra, and they both walked with Ste following them with a ss tab in her hand. Maya was following beside You Xi Wang silently.


    You Xi Wang never noticed Petrapletely before. Last time in the Pro-Code office she was sitting behind a table, and today was the only time he saw her so close and with no barriers. He spoke, "Miss Petra pardon my rudeness for not saying this before but you look beautiful today."


    Ste had a knowing smile on her face while Petra could swear that her heart skipped a beat. She smiled and replied, "You too Young Master, you look very handsome."


    You Xi Wang replied with a thank you and did not speak anymore. Petra recalled something and asked, "Young Master You, who is the girl in that red dress in your video on the Metr."


    "That is my girlfriend, Yuki Ushijima. Why do you ask?" he replied casually. Petra felt bitter in her heart. She wanted to be with this young man. Given the insight she had, how could she not see that this young man will grow beyond anyone else? She gritted her teeth and replied in a depressed voice, "Oh, nothing special actually. I was wondering who was the person who could dance along with you."


    You Xi Wang deliberately did not talk much about his love life and they were already out of the building and he saw a very nice looking Maglev car. He asked Robert, "Uncle Robert, whose car is that?" he pointed towards a red vehicle. The vehicle was very streamlined, and it looked like a needle.


    Robert replied respectfully, "Young Master, that vehicle belongs to miss Petra. This vehicle is a swift streamer. It is a sports car model. It is worth 2 million credits."


    You Xi Wang nodded and saw that Petra was about to board the car and made his way to her. He spoke, "Miss Petra, is it okay if I ride this car with you. I really like this vehicle and wonder if Miss Petra could let me experience it?"


    Petra on the side felt her heart was about to fly out of her chest. She kept calm on the surface. She nodded and spoke, "It will be my honor, Young Master You."


    You Xi Wang nodded and ran to Robert and Ste. He told them he will ride with Petra and came back and boarded the vehicle. The vehicle floated and slowly turned to move and enter the traffic. Inside the vehicle, You Xi Wang sat in the co-pilot seat with Maya in hisp. He kept looking at the control panel, but he was disappointed. This vehicle was not meant for sharp turns. Just like its name, it was only meant to run in a straight line or the performance would drop. Who designs such vehicles? But he said nothing and shifted his focus to Petra.


    Petra sensed his gaze and asked, "Young master, are their flowers blooming on my face?" she joked.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "No, but your face itself is a flower."


    [Ugh, fuck you such a cheesy line. I want to puke in your garden. Yuck.] the system spoke with disgust.


    You Xi Wang wanted to focus on Petra and thus ignored this bitchy thing inside him. He suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the sses the beautiful woman was wearing, and gently took it off. This girl was beautiful. At this moment Petra was frozen and did not even dare to breathe. Her face was flushed. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Now you look like a scarlet rose."


    Petra tapped the auto-drive button and bowed her head. She kept looking down in herp. You Xi Wang found her particrly adorable at this moment. Petra looked up at him and said, "Young Master, don''t make fun of me. Miss Yuki is so beautiful yet you mess with me." although she protested, she wanted him to continue. You Xi Wang used his Holo-Phone and dialed his three girlfriends with a conference method.


    The calls connected and three beautiful faces came to vision in form of holograms. You Xi Wang spoke first, "What are my lovelydies doing?"


    Yuki replied, "I am preparing for my exam tomorrow."


    Susan followed, "Just did some ward rounds."


    Emily said, "I am going to meet elder Amanda and go to the foundation premises."


    They then asked about what You Xi Wang was doing? He replied, "I am heading to the recruitment drive with Petra. I am also trying to pursue her."


    The threedies and Petra froze. They did not expect You Xi Wang to be so open with them. Yuki spoke, "Show her to me."


    You Xi Wang turned his hand and Petra''s face became visible to the girls. She was now looking at herp. Yuki sternly spoke, "Look up." thetter subconsciously lifted her head. She did not know that Yuki would be so dominating. Yuki eximed, "You Xi Wang, you hoe, how did you find such a prettydy?"


    You Xi Wang knew about Yuki and chuckled. She would not stop him as long as he loves her the way he does. The other two were also smitten by him and had no issues. They all praised Petra and Yuki spoke, "You don''t have to answer him now, big sister Petra, just take your time. Even reject him if you want to. He is not like those people who are narrow-minded and make things difficult for others for a disagreement."


    Petra nodded and calmed down. She understood why You Xi Wang was open with his girlfriends. It was because these women truly loved him. They would not mind if someone elsees and joins the harem, but the premise is they maintain harmony with others and not fight for hegemony. They exchanged contacts, and the call disconnected. Petra looked at You Xi Wang and did not know what to say.


    You Xi Wang sensed her hesitation and smiled. He extended his hand toward her and said, "Hello, I am You Xi Wang, will you be my friend?"


    Petra did not expect him to ask her to be friends. She took his hand and shook it gently with a smile she said, "Hello, I am Petra Fisher. d to make friends with you, You Xi Wang."


    The two talked about what they liked and disliked and childhood events. A lot of stuff before they reached the destination. The journey was only 30 minutes long, and they were now more familiar with each other. You Xi Wang entered the edifice holding Maya in his hands. Ste and Robert were further ahead of them and were waiting for him and Petra.


    Ste smiled and said, "Young Master, your sports car was slower than us. Howe?"


    "We were talking about important things, Aunty Ste." his face was calm. Petra also did not show any difort. Ste thought she was overthinking. She shook her head and led him to a cabin. You Xi Wang sat down and on his left sat Petra and on his right sat Ste. They then called in the candidates one by one. You Xi Wang left all the responsibility to Ste.


    He would only ask some questions or speak when the candidate would catch his eyes. Petra also selected some of them for her programming division. Soon the first round was done and the three people ate lunch together. The second round was to hire manager level staff for their stores and outlets. You Xi Wang was active. He stood up and came out to where all the candidates were waiting for their names to be called.


    The candidates saw a handsome boy walking out of the cabin. They understood this boy was their boss. You Xi Wang nced over them and said, "The next round needs a limited amount of people, you will follow inside the room in a group of ten and the interviewers will give you a topic. Your group will have five minutes to prepare and speak about the topic. You all will get two minutes each. Also, please don''t use your Holo-phones and only speak what you know about the topic. After this, we will short-list the best candidates and conduct another round of interviews. Don''t worry, we will also arrange your food and convenience charges."


    The candidates were stunned they never heard of this method of interview. Some people were not satisfied and wanted to speak, but You Xi Wang beat them to it.


    "I understand that there are some people who think they are better than others. They want to be treated specially, I would only like to say, Tianlong Group is a ce where equal opportunities are provided, regardless of the background, but if you misuse the power or are found disloyal, then you will be thrown out. So if you guys think you are better than others, leave now for we don''t need you." he turned and left. Some people were not satisfied and left cursing You Xi Wang.


    The interview started, and the candidates flowed the instructions You Xi Wang gave them first. The interviews progressed, and it was very positive. They hired about 50 store managers, 150 sales personnel, and 40 executives. The process was very nd, to be honest, not like how You Xi Wang imagined. He thought he would encounter some godly talented manager, or someone would offend him, but no. It was so boring that he considered sleeping in Petra''sp, but dropped the idea after recalling that Ste was there.


    The only constion was that he got to drive home with Petra in her car. They were now friends and Petra was like an onion. You Xi Wang took his time with thisdy. When he parted with her. Petra gave him a gentle hug, and the system spoke in his mind.


    [Oh, master you found yourself a woman of culture.]

 Chapter 108: Pampering.

    Chapter 108: Pampering.


    After You Xi Wang reached home Susan and Emily cornered him before he could even reach his room. They squinted their eyes and Susan spoke first.


    "Xi Wang, you haven''t even eaten the dishes on your own te yet, you are still looking at other dishes to serve. Tell me was it you or was it her who started first."


    Emily heard her sister''s first half of the sentence and her face turned red. Usually, she would have turned her face away, but today she kept her eyes locked on the ck-haired, handsome in front of her. You Xi Wang understood what was happening. He gulped a mouthful of saliva, then he spoke in a warm and soft tone, "Suzi, she was curious about your Xi Wang. She asked me about my rtionship with Yuki. So I understood she wanted to ask something. I only talked to her in an informal manner and when I flirted she asked me how could I do it even when I have Yuki in my life. So I had to rify that. We are just acquaintances, no, nothing more."


    Susan''s gaze softened, and she hugged his hand. You Xi Wang felt his blood pressure increase when his elbow was buried in Susan''s valley of joy. Susan spoke, "Okay, if it was she who was interested then fine. Now, how about a shower? I will wash your back for you." her tone became seductive by the end. Emily also wanted to hug You Xi Wang but her bewbeis were not big enough to bury You Xi Wang''s hand, but she was a smart girl. She took his hand and wrapped it around her waist and put his palm on her soft, plump bun. You Xi Wang subconsciously grabbed it.


    Emily shivered and bowed her head. She spoke in a mosquito-like voice, "I will massage your shoulders, Young Master." she may be elder but this girl was adorably shy.


    You Xi Wang wanted to experience this but shook his head and calmed the fire inside him. He spoke, "Not today I need to see big sis." the girls did not protest at all. They encouraged him to meet You Zhichi, she was always worrying about You Xi Wang, pampering him, supporting him, and she would neverin about anything. You Xi Wang got to his room and after a quick shower changed into a loose t-shirt and lower. He also gave Maya a quick wash. The furred beauty then followed him to You Zhichi''s room.


    He knocked and a silky smooth voice spoke, "Come in." You Xi Wang pushed open the door and walked in. His sister was now lying on the bed. Her face was extremely tired. She must have worked hard at the office. She had her cultivation and studies. She sat up when she saw her brother. She smiled and said, "Gougou, is there something you need from me?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and sat down next to her. He said, "You lie down, I massage your feet. You need rest and care, big sis." before You Zhichi could refuse, You Xi Wang grabbed her legs and started massaging them gently. You Zhichi knew her brother would not let her refuse and sat back against the headrest of the bed. Her room was the same as You Xi Wang, except she had a bigger closet and more books.


    You Zhichi kept watching her brother massaging her legs. She wanted to tell him she was a cultivator and was not in pain. The stress she had was just a mental thing, but You Xi Wang''s diligent expression kept her from speaking the fact.


    You Xi Wang kept massaging it for a few minutes when he suddenly smacked his forehead. He turned to face his sister. You Zhichi tried, but she could not help butugh after this sight. Her brother just recalled that they are cultivators and they don''t get tired by physical work but mentally stressed. He stood up and walked behind the headrest. He raised his hands and started massaging her head. She spoke, "What are you doing? I am fine, you know. Don''t worry or you will grow old."


    You Xi Wang used fire elemental spiritual energy to warm his fingers. The massage became even more pleasant. You Zhichi subconsciously closed her eyes. You Xi Wang saw this and started humming a luby. The effect was good and soon You Zhichi was in slumbend. You Xi Wang massaged her head for more and then tucked her in without waking her up. He dimmed the lights and exited. Maya was trapped in You Zhichi''s arms. She wanted to get out, but You Xi Wang asked her to sleep here tonight and he will take her in the morning. This calmed down the furred beauty, and she slept next to You Zhichi.


    Back in his room, You Xi Wang reviewed for his exam in the morning. The exam was divided into three sections. Section one will test the strength, martial arts, and weapon proficiency. Section two will test the knowledge about the world such as various medicinal herbs, beasts, ailments, special physique. The same section will also have a fifteen minutes interview where the examinee will be asked to answer the questions regarding what they learned in this year''s annual assessment. The third section was essay writing. Examinees could write about anything and this essay will be the key factor in their promotion. In short, it will decide whether or not they are mature enough to skip a grade.


    You Xi Wang was sure about everything else but he was clueless about his topic for the essay. He could write something which he was already proficient in, but what was the point if it is not something that can show his mindset. So he pondered over this topic for a whole night. When the sun rose outside, You Xi Wang''s eyes also lit up. He decided on his essay. He stood up and went to the bathroom. His hair was long enough for him to tie them in a top knot. He wore a white t-shirt under an open zip ck leather jacket, blue denim rugged jeans. There was just a small hole over his left thigh below the pocket. He paired his attire with a pair of high ankle rubber sole boots. Although the boots looked a bit too rigid, they were very flexible. They did not differ from sports shoes. That resulted from development. Turn a boot into sports shoes.


    He was looking very dashing. He walked out of his room after putting on a ck aviator. You Zhichi saw him as she was heading for his room. She was surprised to see that her good baby brother was dressed up in such a different manner. She walked a circle around him and said, "Gougou, you look really nice. Is there anything special today?"


    You Xi Wang took off his sses and said, "Nah, just felt like changing things a bit. Also, you are looking beautiful too big, sis. Have something at work today?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "Yes, store inauguration ising and today a council executive wille over to give us the NOC certificates. I have a banquet organized for the staff."


    You Xi Wang nodded and they head towards the dining hall. You Xi Wang called his cousin You Liang to borrow his lev bike, turned out he was out of town for the family business. You Liang told him to get the keys from his mother. You Xi Wang walked into the giant mansion and came to the courtyard where You Liangs family lived. He knocked on the door and after a few moments, a sharp-looking red-haired woman opened the door.


    You Xi Wang smiled and saluted with his fists, "Xi Wang greets auntie Lore"


    Lore Sebastian, a woman with red hair, is the second daughter-inw of the third elder. She was a very warm person and helped in the third elder''spany as a manager.


    Lore smiled and grabbed You Xi Wang''s ear, "Brat Wang, finally came to aunt Lore." right now he was not the master of the family but her nephew.


    You Xi Wang said, "Ow, sorry aunty Lore, I was busy, you know. Ouch, let go of my ear aunty or it wille out. Your daughters-inw will leave me."


    Lore shook her head with a smile and spoke, "I dare those little girls to leave my son. Now here are the keys and don''t worry about returning them because I got you a new Lev-bike. Liang told me you liked one, so I bought one for you. This was delivered yesterday, but you were out. Now, how do you like this surprise?" she gave him a key with a ribbon knot on it.


    You Xi Wang felt very warm. His eyes were slightly teary. He remembered how his rtives would buy him stuff. He thought it will all change after his parents passed away. Even though You family was united, some changes should be expected. Lore saw his expression and gave him a hug. She spoke, "Xiao Wang, Limao may not be here, but you still have your mother(s) okay. Our affection for you will not change. You are never alone."


    You Xi Wang closed his eyes and hugged his aunt for a while. He separated and gave her a peck on her cheek and said, "I won''t think like that. Also, thank you for the gift aunt. I will now run or I will bete for the exam" he waved his hand at her after running a few meters. Lore returned his wave with a smile on her face. They all loved You Xi Wang because not only was he the youngest, but it was his mother who was always kind to the members of the household and always cared about the children in the family. At first, when Chen Limao was just a new bride, she was very caring and would often watch after the children in the absence of their parents. The whole family was warm because of the rules they had, but the spirit of the family were people who upheld the rules and did thing disregarding the rules. Chen Limao was such a person.


    You Xi Wang grabbed a quick bite and grabbed a sling pouch to carry Maya with him. He came to the parking and saw a group of kids surrounding a ck shining Levbike. The bike was designed like a chopper. The paint was ck and chrome. The whole thing looked powerful and macho. You Xi Wang came, and the kids asked him for ap. He carried them all one by one around the mansion, and the whole family watched themughing and cheering. Lily was thest one to ride. She did not want to sit behind so You Xi Wang put her in front of him but the girl turned and hugged him. She said, "Xixi, slow" she was afraid of speed.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Okay princess, but you have to face forward. I swear I will drive slowly." He stayed true to his word and drove slowly the girl''s face blossomed in a smile. She loved this uncle of hers because he would always fulfill her wish. After the ride, she got a bar of chocte and kissed You Xi Wang on his cheek.


    You Xi Wang left home and headed to the school for his exam on his Lev-bike.

 Chapter 109: The Exam begins.

    Chapter 109: The Exam begins.


    You Xi Wang riding on a ck and silver chrome lev bike caught many eyes. He was looking very manly. Soon he reached the school and parked his Lev-bike. He came to his ssroom and greeted his ssmates. His team was already on the way. He took his seat, spent some time chatting with the people. Girls were trying to y with Maya but the furred beauty dug her head in the sling having no intention to mingle. An was the first one to arrive.


    An sat behind You Xi Wang and shroud sat on the desk in front of You Xi Wang with Maya. These two looked good, and Shroud just sat there in silence. Fenny and Neo came together. The boy was threatened by Fenny, that if he did not pick her up, then she will trim his mane-like hair. Yuki was thest one, and she looked beautiful in a ck top and blue jeans. The pups ran after each other, turning the ss atmosphere lively.


    Maddison soon walked in with the help of a student, stood on the podium, and said to You Xi Wang and his team, "Team Phantoms, there is a slight change in the exam today. You will take the written test first, then the essay. After you are done with that, you take the practical assessment. Any problems?"


    The five people stood up and shook their heads. They were asked to go out and report to the examination hall where they will take the exam. A special team of invigtors was present there when the group reached. The invigtors asked them to queue up through the scanner. They will be frisked to see if they are carrying any cheats on them. If they were found to be carrying anything, that would lead to an instant DQ and expulsion from the school. After the checking, they were led to their designated seats. The desks were cordoned off with a specialpound which prevents the examinee from using the spiritual probe to cheat. Theponents of thispound were kept secret, as if used in a battle it will be extremely dangerous for the forces of the council.


    The examiners watched the clock and at 10 o''clock the exam started. The whole process was digital, the examinees were required to use a stylus and write the answers on the screen. This was to not forget the basic foundation of humanity n the age of technology. The time allowed for this section was just one hour and forty-five minutes. The next fifteen minutes were allocated for the vocal interview. You Xi Wang''s stylus moved at a constant speed and he kept answering the questions one by one. There was no fluctuation on his face. He only used one hour and ten minutes to finish the exam paper, the rest of the time was spent double-checking his answers.


    The invigtor spoke, "Hand in the solution paper, please."


    The group of young people did as told and submitted the screen to the invigtor. The invigtor then asked them all some questions. They were all tested by different invigtors. They were then asked to write an essay, and this was an important thing so none of them could ck off. The essayposition was a time of thirty minutes. You Xi Wang wrote the heading in clean and graceful handwriting. His handwriting skills were taught to him by his mother, yet it looked sharp and straight. The essay was titled, The World In a Nutshell. This essay summarized what You Xi Wang felt from the day he arrived in this world.


    The people here tried nothing new, the growth process was at a standstill. Life was sofortable that people did not feel the need to try anything new, and a ce world where there was no growth could not develop talents or leaders. This was not yet the pinnacle of human talent or growth. The council was too focused on the dark dwellers, and the entire world seemed to be a battlefield of the two forces. This could only change if the masses felt the need for new things. This world was governed by the council, and thus it was their responsibility to create the need.


    You Xi Wang stated some facts in his essay. These facts were about how the entire world was now following the same standards. This had created an advanced yet mediocre society. Metropia needed new things not only in the infrastructure of technology but also in mindset. He checked the whole thing, edited what he felt he should, and submitted the essay when the invigtor asked him. They were given a five minutes break and after the break, they were to test their strength.


    A burly man in a battle suit was standing in the strength testing room of the school. He was their examiner for this section of the exam, Adonis Matthaeus. The man had a slightly tanned skinplexion and his muscles looked very dense. Even with the battle suit on, they gave off a very powerful vibe. He saw the group walking inside the hall. He nodded in approval when he saw that the group was standing in a Pentagon Formation. They all maintained an attention stance taught in the school.


    Adonis spoke, "Change into a battle suit, you have thirty seconds."


    They all waved their hands and wore the battle suit taken out from their space rings. The battle suit was taken out and put on in a blink the movement was like taking a breath, smooth and fluent as if natural. Adonis nodded, entered the score of the team on a scorecard. He instructed them to take test their strength. The team punched the power pole starting with Fenny followed by Yuki, An, Neo, and You Xi Wang. They were all given one attempt each and were asked to punch their best. The scores were 900, 980, 1000, 1150, and 1500 respectively. This score was far more than what they scored in the internal assessment.


    They were holding back. Also, they have improved a lot after the assessment. Adonis looked at the roles and primary sses of the team and nodded. He again scored them and ordered them to get on to the next level. They were now supposed to use weapons. Fenny chooses dagger, bow and arrow, short sword, sniper rifle, and drone bombs. Yuki chooses Katana, shuriken, longbow, Kunai, and light machine guns. An chooses Javelin, assault rifles, long swords, knives. He was exempted from the fifth weapon as his ss was Medic. Neo chooses brawler gloves, halberd, spear, light machine gun, and sniper rifle. You Xi Wang chooses Spear, Bow and arrow, Long Sword, Brawler glove, Dagger, pistol, sniper rifle, and assault rifles.


    He selected eight weapons because the team leader must have a minimum of seven weaponspletely mastered. Adonis nodded, and they all showcased their skills one by one. They were asked to fight against bots. The result was perfect. They all defeated the bots with ease. Adonis entered the score. The first part waspleted. Now was the time for a final step. Adonis vs Fenny, Neo, An, and Yuki. You Xi Wang would face him alone. The team would have to face Adonis for thirty seconds. Adonis was a primal soul realm cultivator. Thirty seconds against him were thirty days for these kids. You Xi Wang also had to face him for thirty seconds.


    The team gathered in the center of the field. Fenny was inmand. She arranged Neo and Yuki to be the primary attackers and An as support. While she herself used her sniping skills. The battle started with Adonis''smand, "Come."


    Yuki rushed from the right with her Katana, and Neo rushed in from the left with his halberd. Yuki immediately used her ice sh skill, casting a sword light made of sharp ice. She drew her Katana again. This went on five times. Neo used his halberd and swung it down on Adonis''s head. Adonis scorned and waved his hand. The attacks heading towards him vanished. He wanted to attack but An fired when Adonis was just raising his left hand. This timing was perfect, it disrupted his attack and did not allow him to defend as well. He was showered with bullets, but his physique is so strong that the bullets didn''t even tickle him. Fenny did not fire because Adonis still was not in a weak moment. Ten seconds have passed.


    Yuki threw away multiple Kunai''s and smoke bombs to create a screen, and An followed her by spraying bullets all over Adonis. But the attack did not go as nned Adonis vanished and chopped at Neo''s neck. His hand was quick, but it was met with a bullet from Fenny. The bullet did not stop the chop, but it gave Neo the time to roll away and he quickly turned around while he hacked his Halberd horizontally at Adonis. His Halberd was glowing with spiritual Energy. The Halberd connected with Adonis''s waist. A light shield appeared, stopping the halberd.


    Adonis spoke, "Good. Time to end this." his figure vanished and Yuki fell down. She was hit on her neck and fainted under Adonis''s palm chop. Neo switched his halberd with his brawler gloves. An came and stood back to back with Neo. Neo spoke, "Momma, what now, senior is moving so fast that we cannot see him." they could not even sense him. Fenny spoke, "Lightening Caltrops."


    The boys felt as if they heard a heavenly blessing and immediately scattered caltrops in the whole field. Fenny dropped her sniper rifle and ran to the center of the field. Adonis thought that it was a desperate regrouping and appeared behind Fenny. Fenny sensed it and activated her spiritual skill. Her whole body was covered with lightning snakes. The caltrops around the field were something she designed to target heat, and at this moment she was emitting a lot of heat. The caltrops flew towards her, she backstopped and bent down avoiding Adonis''s palm chop. She turned and was already behind Adonis. The caltrops were only a meter away, and they all exploded.


    BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.


    Adonis and Fenny were now covered with the smoke. The smoke cleared and An saw Fennyying down, and there was no trace of Adonis. Neo felt something heavy on his neck and he also fell down. Adonis stood in front of An and said, "Your team is good, but you are still not good enough. Do you surrender or do you also want to fall down?"


    An raised his gun and fired with no words. Just as Adonis moved to appear behind him, the sniper rifle dropped by Fenny automatically fired at An''s head. An ducked, and the bullet connected with Adonis''s palm. Adonis did not expect that the gun could still fire. This was his weak moment as he was wondering how smart this move was but An broke his train of thoughts, Adonis was showered by bullets.


    Adonis used his hands to block the bullets and then was about to attack, but the timer rang and he realized that the examination ended. An was still conscious. They have passed the assessment. He nodded and punched in the score. An wiped his sweat, sat down on the ground. The school staff came in in order to help the fainted kids. They also restored the deformed field. It was now You Xi Wang''s turn to face adonis.


    He walked to the center of the field and stood facing Adonis. He had the cogwheels turning in his brain.

 Chapter 110: War God.

    Chapter 110: War God.


    You Xi Wang stood in the center of the field, with jade gloves covering his hands. He was holding a spear in his hand and his long sword was tied to his lower back horizontally. The position was something Adonis has never seen. He did not think too much about it. You Xi Wang was busy, but he did not stopprehending the martial art skill he got as a reward. He was blessed with high-levelprehension which allowed him to cultivate this art in small session. He could not show his skill of using all elements. Yesterday he found out that he can hide the spiritual energy beneath his gloves.


    You Xi Wang held his spear diagonally, his right foot was ced in front of his left foot. His hands were positioned in front of his chest. Adonis looked at this stance. After a while, he was surprised that despite looking like a rxed stance he could not find any opening. If someone was to fight You Xi Wang would win if there were no unexpected circumstance. This stance was enough to showcase his battle prowess. Adonis pondered and spoke, "I will lower my cultivation to the peak core formation realm. If you can stand against me for over one whole minute. I will rmend you as the captain for the uing solo battle fest. Do you ept?"


    You Xi Wang was surprised but his expression did not change. He nodded in reply, dare to face Adonis, are you kidding, his father always taught him that a cultivator is someone who dares to go against heaven, they are people who should not be afraid of meager things. He epted without even thinking. You Xi Wang closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his state of mind was totally focused on the battle. Adonis also controlled his cultivation.


    His team was now awake and sitting down on the sideline. They all were now safe and won''t be expelled. The school staff was also watching from the side. A man among them had a low mentality and could not stop himself from speaking.


    "This pretty boy has a very calm expression."


    A nurse beside him sneered, "Igor, you sure are jealous."


    Igor snorted, "Let''s bet, if master Adonis beat him, you will be mine for the night."


    The nurse was pretty, but at this moment she was indignant. She looked the man right in the eye and said, "Agreed, but if the boy withstood it. I want you to run around the school naked. Dare to ept?"


    Igor was confident in his words and nodded with a smirk. Yuki and Fenny were pissed, but they clean this guy up after You Xi Wang wins. Neo and An also looked at him with disgust.


    Adonis yelled, "Come."


    He felt sharp wind stabbing at him as soon as he finished his words. You Xi Wang attacked with spear intent, the spear was stabbed for a least fifty teams in session under one second. Adonis was prepared for this and dodged the attack. He was not to attack his opponent so early without seeing what cards he held. The second wave of wind stabs were all scattered in the possible spots Adonis could move to dodge. You Xi Wang vanished and swiped Adonis with his spear. Adonis used his bare arm to catch the spear. You Xi Wang manipted the wind and just when Adonis was about to grasp the spear a wind de condensed around the spearhead, shed his palm.


    He was surprised. This wind de came very abruptly. He wanted to disarm his opponent but was not expecting the other party to use the spear attack in such a manner. Blood dripped from his palm. It has been a long time since he was injured. The wind de just now wasced with spear intent and was too sharp. The spirit shield of a core formation level was not enough to stop the attack. You Xi Wang had a mentality, spears are dauntless, they are unstoppable, they pierce the high heavens, they pin the opponent down on to the ground so how could someone stronger take away this mighty weapon from his hand.


    Adonis gazed at the blood dripping and felt somewhat offended. He was a senior and how could he be wounded by a junior. That took only 10 seconds. He looked up at You Xi Wang. He was surprised that the man did not jump back but thrust the shaft of the spear in the ground and rushed forward holding his fists. Adonis came back to his senses and balled up his fists to meet his opponent. You Xi Wang did not use themon martial arts from the school but he yed by the rules of boxing and martial arts he has seen and experience on earth.


    Adonis stepped forward and punched You Xi Wang with his left hand. His opponent was using his left hand so to meet his fist You Xi Wang used his left hand, just as both the fists were about to touch each other. You Xi Wang opened his fist and grabbed Adonis by his wrist with his left hand and ced his right hand under his elbow, turned his back to face Adonis, before the other party could use a counter You Xi Wang parted his feet, putting his left foot in front of the right and fused the spiritual energy in his muscles and flung Adonis in air.


    The school staff was stunned watching this situation. Yuki, Fenny, An, and Neo were no different. They did not expect their captain to throw the instructor in the air like a ball. Adonis himself was not ready for something like this, but he was now in the air and before he could evennd on the ground. You Xi Wang took out a gun and fired a whole magazine on him. Adonis could only use his spiritual energy to save guard and just as hended on the ground and was ready to counter, he felt a chill down his spine. He sensed You Xi Wang was retreating before he could find what it was...


    BOOM.


    His whole body moved forward after the explosion, You Xi Wang had cleverly used a wave grenade and threw it to the general spot where Adonis was to descend and retreated. The shock wave was sudden and Adonis was caught into You Xi Wang''s pace again. You Xi Wang moved and used the Azure step art. He cast an azure shadow as he moved. He jumped up slightly and delivered a roundhouse kick to Adonis. Thetter used his arms to block the kick. The kick was followed by an overhead sword sh. Adonis could only jump back two steps. The sword sh suddenly changed and a horrible sword wind followed. Adonis sidestepped, even so, his shoulder was grazed by the sword wind. One more wind, one more flower of blood.


    Adonis felt ashamed and enraged. This guy was not giving him any time to counter. He waved his hand and staff appeared in his hand. He did not expect that he would use a weapon against a greenhorn. You Xi Wang sheathed his sword and rushed forward.


    Staff is lethal when the user can stretch his hand and have enough room to maneuver. You Xi Wang cast Azure step and shed in a zig-zag motion. Adonis expected him to move right, so he attacked his right side, but You Xi Wang used his soul sense to catch all the muscle moments of his opponent, he changed his movement pattern. From zig-zag to straight-line motion. He was already in front of Adonis. Thetter swiped his staff in order to hit You Xi Wang, on the side but his target bent his knees and squatted low.


    Adonis had a smirk and lifted his leg to kick You Xi Wang in the head, but thetter did not get hit. He put his hands on the ground and swiped his legs like a dragon''s tail. His aim was the only leg Adonis was standing on. The instructor was holding a staff in his hand while his kick made his leg stretch outward. This was the worst stance. The leg swipe connected and Adonis fell on his butt. He wanted to get up, but a cold dagger was now ced on his nape. He could not believe it just now, but he would have died if it was a real-life situation.


    He looked at You Xi Wang and found that the guy showed no emotion at all. His sole focus was the battle, throughout the whole fight, not once had he taken a defensive stance. Adonis realized that this guy in front of him applied, Offence is the best defense to its best. He used spear intent to catch him off guard, followed by hard and soft to use his force against him, bullet shower to distract him and used a bomb, then a kick to the head followed by a sword sh, closed the distance to prevent him from having any chance to make a move, lured him to kick and swiped his leg from under him. This was a chess game, and Adonis was led by his nose. He gazed at the boy in horror. This guy was a beast in human clothing and ording to the data, he did not use the skills he shares with his spirit beast. He did not even dare to imagine what would a core formation realm be if he faced these kids altogether. If they could defeat a primal soul realm cultivator with just four of them, then if this monster came in, it would end in half a minute.


    He was not aware that they killed a Core formation cultivator when they were just early Spirit formation brats or he would have screamed in horror. He wondered if this kid was the incarnation of the War God.


    Beep beep.


    The beeping sound brought him back to his sense. It has been one minute, but You Xi Wang defeated him in fifty seconds. This must be reported to the upper authority so they nurture this talent. It will bring the school honor in thepetitioning up. He stood up after You Xi Wang took back his dagger. He spoke, "You all go back to your ss and wait for the result."


    The practical exams came to an end.

 Chapter 111: Surprising Results.

    Chapter 111: Surprising Results.


    You Xi Wang exhaled heavily, and his temperament returned to normal. He walked up to his group and found them all looking at him in shock. An shook his head, walked up to You Xi Wang, and smacked the back of his head. You Xi Wang called out, "Hey, what did I do now?"


    Neo said in aining manner, "Bro An what happened just now was real. Xi Wang feeling pain clears the fact that we are all awake."


    Fenny jabbed at Neo, "Kitty boy, what my baby did just now, you can''t possibly do even in your dreams."


    Neo looked at An, who said, "Lassie, don''t harass Neo anymore. But the fact still stands, even after instructor Adonis lowered his cultivation base. He should not have been defeated so easily just now."


    They all looked at You Xi Wang, and Yuki spoke, "Everyone has their secrets. If it is too much, then don''t tell us. We understand."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Any battle is decided by two things. First, who controls the pace. Second, maintaining that pace. How about we all talk after the results? Call your parents to my home. We will celebrate. What say?"


    They all agreed happily, just when they were about to leave for the ssroom. Fenny stopped and walked up to where the school staff was standing. You Xi Wang asked what the matter was and was enraged when learned about the matter. He disliked men who tried to take advantage of women. He walked up and stood beside Fenny.


    "Hey ugly, strip and run naked on the school premises. You are a MAN right. Show us your manliness." Fennyshed out as soon as she saw Igor.


    Igor replied, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Get lost." he turned to face the nurse and said, "You also forget this matter, and we never cross each other." he turned and was about to walk away when he heard a cold voice behind him.


    "Hello, discipline hall. I would like to ask for help. A man here in the Strength testing area for the first year is harassing the nurse. The man is called Igor. Yes, sir, we will wait here." the voice was obviously You Xi Wang.


    Igor turned and his ugly face became even more bizarre when he was frowning. He spoke, "Do you think you defeated an instructor, so you have be a big shot? Huh, I would like to see who dares to offend me. I am the younger brother of Council Official Dimitri."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Using a Council Official''s name to influencemon people. Punishable by 5 years of imprisonment. Starting bets in school premises, dismissal of duties. Resisting cooperation adds a year or two to the sentence. So what do you want to do? I don''t understand why you people love to threaten others without proper strength?"


    Igor''s face turned ugly. Most of the people in Metropia get scared when someone uses the name of a Council official because the Council is a big force and they do not dare provoke those who are involved with it. They forget that the Council was actually made for their convenience and not the officials. They also forget that the officials all have an oath foundation which makes them take action against the guilty regardless of the rtionship they have with the guilty party. You Xi Wang was aware of all this and was not scared by this empty threat.


    Igor wanted to say something but when he remembered how strong these kids were, he dropped the idea. Before he could plead or beg for mercy, the people of Discipline hall enforcers arrived. They were pretty quick, they could respond in 15 seconds, all the discipline hall people were above the early Core Formation realm.


    The nurse described how she was insulted and the guy wanted to take advantage of her and instigated the bet. She was led to the office and You Xi Wang and others were sent away to their ss. The result would be announced in a few minutes. So it was not good for them to stay here.


    ...


    In the central pagoda of the academy, Adonis was standing in front of five elderly looking people. His expression was that of respect towards the elders. The elders were looking at the footage at this moment, and they were astonished. They knew Adonis was a veteran, but they never expected him to be dealt with by a kid. This kid only took fifty seconds. They watched the second video, Adonis fought as a primal soul cultivator, but still one of them could survive. Elders had their eyes turn bright.


    These five people were none other than the deputy principals of the school. They were also strongest in using five different elements. From left to right these people were the users of fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning. They all exchanged a nce and sighed.


    The elder in a fiery red robe spoke, "Too bad we old guys epted our disciples early. These brats are simply gems."


    The other old people nodded, the elder in earth brown robe said, "It is good as it is already. Adonis, what was the reason you lowered your cultivation to face this kid."


    Adonis spoke, "Sir, this kid ranked first with his team in the annual assessment. That is why I wanted to see what the best team''s captain was like. At first, I just wanted to see if he is good enough to join but just as he took his stance I wanted him as the team captain and after this fight, my decision of appointing him as the solo Inter-school tournament has be firm. His control of the overall situation could only be said to be natural. He never let me take the initiative. I used the staff and even thatst kick could not shake him. He was decisive in his attacks and the range he disyed I have not seen in anyone. Even the fifth years in the battle hall can''t hold up against me the way he did."


    The elders nodded Adonis was a veteran and deputy of the battle hall. The battle hall was a ce where the students who were interested in joining defense forces learned advanced tactics and skills. The elder in purple electric blue robe spoke, "We appoint him as the team captain for the solo team. Select this student Neo from his team and that student Fenny as a substitute and technician. The boy has power, and the girl has a good brain to use that caltrop trap. The other two are good as well, but they need more guidance."


    The elderdy in aqua green spoke, "I agree, I will guide student Yuki personally for the internal selection test. Calor you take student An."


    The fiery robe elder nodded, "Okay sister Shui, then do the others agree?"


    They all unanimously agreed on appointing You Xi Wang as the captain of the team taking part under the school''s name in the battle fest. While they were shocked by the battle prowess of the young man, their counterparts were wondering how a 16-year-old have thoughts such as the potential of the world poption ising to a standstill because they are not trying anything good enough. They could have thought that thisposition was just trash but world-known facts were also present in the essay, for example. The checking teachers had no words to refute. They even thought about passing thisposition to the higher authorities in the government.


    The council had a talent admiration wing set up to cherish the geniuses worldwide, but the standards were now depleting so the teacher-in-charge took the call and sent a digital copy of the essay to the talent admiration wing. When they found out that this student was called the maestro they were pleasantly surprised, after all the maestro was a genius, and unlike many people who get satisfied after a couple of achievements, this guy was still thriving to improve to never give up. This kind of spirit inside a student was what teachers craved for.


    They settled the scoring and sent the message to the school site on the Metr. Soon the whole school was buzzing. There were two updates. First, five students from ss 1A passed the promotion examination. The second, the captain of team phantoms is also appointed as the captain for the team in the battle fest. The first one was forgotten by those of senior years, but the second news triggered a silent storm in the sses. How could senior students agree to a junior leading them? They all will be challenging this nominal captain and teach him a lesson, while some people were praying for those who offend this guy.


    Those who were praying were the students who have seen You Xi Wang beating Zack half to death, Snow was one of them. The school administration knew something like this would happen, so they posted a link for those who wanted to challenge this guy can queue up one by one. ss 1A was however cheering and congratting You Xi Wang and his team for passing the promotion exam. You Xi Wang asked the whole ss toe over to his house and attend the celebration dinner. He called home and made the arrangements. The family was more than happy for their kid to call his friends over.


    Maddison was also invited and You Xi Wang was going to pick her up personally. On the way back home with Yuki on his bike he spoke, "The school just stirred the aquarium of piranhas by that appointment."


    Yuki, "It will be fine you can deal with these guys." she replied as she hugged his waist and leaned on his back slightly.


    You Xi Wang felt softness attacking him from behind but still sighed, "What a headache."

 Chapter 112: Treating Lily.

    Chapter 112: Treating Lily.


    You Xi Wang dropped Yuki at her home and invited her parents to the party in the evening. They agreed to his invitation. You Xi Wang took Maya home on his Lev-Bike. He liked this familiar feeling of cruising on a bike. He slowly reached home as he was parking his lev-bike, he saw his cousin You Fengxianing out of her vehicle. She saw You Xi Wang and smiled. Thetter came to her side and helped her with the bag and coat.


    "Xiao Wang, I can carry those easily. Don''t fret." her voice was soothing. She was a beautyparable to You Zhichi. Although she always had a smile on her face, ever since she lost her husband in the dark dweller''s raid. Her eyes only seem to light up when she is with Lily. You Xi Wang knew this and said, "Your Xiao Wang has grown up, big sis xian"


    His voice was calm yet confident. You Fengxian babysit on him a lot when she was not married. You Xi Wang and Fengxian walked to her room in silence. You Xi Wang spoke when they were about to reach her room.


    "Big Sis, I can cure Lily''s ailment." his words shocked Fengxian. Her footsteps came to a halt. She looked at You Xi Wang. She spoke in a cold voice, "Are you making fun of my weakness?"


    You Xi Wang was aware something like this might happen so he smiled and said, "Come with me and you know that I can do what I just said." he held her hand and led her to her room. Fengxian followed him with a cold and detached look, while the boy kept smiling. They reached the door and Fengxian opened it. She entered the room and turned to look at You Xi Wang. You Xi Wang smiled and raised his palm.


    Five small balls formed in his palm. As a cultivator in the Core formation realm, Fengxian sensed that the balls were made of five different spiritual elements. She was shocked, but then again became cold and detached. She spoke, "So what if you can use all five elements. Lily is affected by dark energy. It cannot be cleansed by any means." she turned around. A mother whose child is suffering in front of her will never pay attention to even the heavens.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Big sis, I can refine dark energy. You must know Susan''s mother. She was also afflicted by the dark energy, I refined it and cured her because I cultivate in not only five elements but also the soul."


    You Fengxian turned around and looked at him in shock. She could not understand what just happened now. She took two steps and stood in front of You Xi Wang, "Brother, please help my Lily. The doctors said that the dark energy will spread throughout her body and corrode it as time passes by. At this moment the elders use their spiritual energy to suppress it, but I am afraid in the future it will get more difficult. In a few years, I am afraid my baby will leave me." tears were falling from her eyes. her beautiful appearance was now very pitiful.


    You Xi Wang hugged her in his arms and said in aforting manner, "Don''t worry, I am here. Never stop hoping because only when the night is darkest does the sune up."


    You Fengxian calmed down after a bit and said, "Tell me what do you need in return, I will give up everything I have, Xiao Wang."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Just try to bring back my big sis Xian." he smiled at her. You Fengxian smiled at him. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by her cousin.


    "I will cure her tomorrow." He said. She nodded and after talking for a bit and assuring that You Fengxian will not let out the secrets lest it spells disaster for the family, You Xi Wang left. He cured Lily in thirty minutes and surprise the whole family. He found Lily sitting and reading books on the tab in the library.


    She saw You Xi Wang, put down her work, and rushed to him with a sweet smile. You Xi Wang picked up the little girl and said, "Lily, want to surprise the family?" the girl tilted her head. You Xi Wang whispered something in her ears and the girl nodded vigorously.


    ...


    Inside You Xi Wang''s room, Lily was sitting facing You Xi Wang in a crossed leg position. Her eyes were closed, and she was holding onto You Xi Wang''s palms. The boy was right now using the soul energy to locate the dark energy patches inside her body. His motive was to locate and refine these patches one by one. He has been onto this task for almost half an hour now and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he could not stop as he was now clearing the patches in Lily''s brain. The human brain is the most delicate part of the human body: one mistake and everything is finished.


    He cleared the cerebellum cortex, cerebrum, medu oblongata. Now the only patch left is in the pineal nd. You Xi Wang induced a tiny amount of his spiritual energy to the part and slowly cleared the patch. Some minutes over half an hour the process was over. You Xi Wang was now looking a little pale.


    Lily opened her eyes and saw You Xi Wang in this condition. She hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead. She said, "Xixi, are you okay, should I call Mother?"


    She did not notice it at first but the girl spoke a proper sentence, only when she saw You Xi Wang smiling at her did she realize. She pinched herself and looked at her uncle. She jumped in his arms. You Xi Wang had not only cured her but nourished the areas with his spiritual energy. Lily cried and wailed in his arms. The girl has suffered a lot. Dark energy inside her might look like it was suppressed, but it was gradually deteriorating her and she was aware of it. You Xi Wang saw it in her memories. Many times she just cried at nights watching the people around her doing so much for someone like her who was not destined to live over ten years.


    You Xi Wang changed her fate. He became the hope she was holding on to. Despite being young, she wanted to repay her family for what they have been doing for her. She was always trying to do that by caring for them in any manner possible, but she knew it was never enough. Now You Xi Wang gave her another chance to live a normal life and in the future share the burden of her family and do something for them.


    You Xi Wang calmed her down and just when Lily wanted to rush to her mother You Xi Wang reminded her about the surprise. She calmed down and practiced singing with You Xi Wang. You Xi Wang yed the guitar, and she sang. They would dance while singing. Soon the guests starteding and You Xi Wang had to get ready. He asked Fengxian to not worry about Lily''s dress. It was all taken care of by him. He designed a skirt for Lily, which looked like an inverted lily flower from the earth. The dress was white and suited the little girl very much.


    You Xi Wang was dressed in a blue tuxedo with a white shirt underneath paired with a ck belt and shoes. He also did Lily''s hair by himself. Lily''s hair was as long as her waist, so You Xi Wang tied them up in a side bun. It looked beautiful. Lily was very satisfied, she also had eyeliner around her eyes, slight gloss on her lips. She was all set to surprise the family tonight.


    You Zhichi came and entered directly after opening the room. She was surprised when she found her brother doing Lily''s makeup and hair. She never knew he could do these things. She also got to know that her niece was now cured and was thrilled. You Xi Wang rushed to attend the guests as the Master of the family, leaving the pair of aunt and Niece to talk. You Xi Wang wanted his sister to help Lily feel at ease when she was out there.


    ...


    You Xi Wang arrived in the garden where the guests were assembled he greeted them all. It was just a small gathering, so no big shots were invited. He greeted his ssmates and their parents with a humble attitude. The guests were a little conscious when they came here, knowing that they were going to one giant in the city. They were all relieved when they saw how good and kind this family was. Soon everyone arrived and like You family, Ignis, and Paul family were also open-hearted people so they got along with everyone very well.


    Suddenly the lights went out and people started asking what happened. A spotlight lit up and You Xi Wang holding a guitar appeared in front of them. He smiled and said, "Thank you all foring here tonight. You all have my gratitude. What I am going to do is to sing a song and this song, I will sing together with a beautiful princess from my family. Hope you all enjoy it."

 Chapter 113: Night of Treasures.

    Chapter 113: Night of Treasures.


    Another spotlight was switched on and it fell over Lily. Under the light, the slight shimmer of glitter on her dress also came to life. The girl was nervous and quickly came beside You Xi Wang and held his trouser in her small hand. She was only tall enough to reach You Xi Wang''s waist. This scene was very adorable. The family members were shocked to see Lily they all knew that she could not talk properly, and now You Xi Wang has put her on the stage to sing. They were nervous to the limits. You Fengxian was about to walk forward and take Lily away but she was stopped by You Zhichi.


    You Fengxian looked at her and was about to say something when a sweet voice rang out.


    "Hello, I am Lily, today I will sing a song with my uncle Xixi," it was Lily who spoke.


    The family looked at her and then looked at You Xi Wang, who was smiling at the girl. They understood that the master of the family has again done something big. The elders issued a mentalmand to not say anything and just act normal. You Fengxian was trembling. The scene in front of her was just too sudden. She always wanted her daughter to talk normally but never expected it woulde when she gave up all hope.


    On the stage, You Xi Wang patted on Lily''s hand lightly and asked, "Ready?"


    Lily shook her head. She was very nervous. You Xi Wang smiled and squatted down. He said in the girl''s ear, "Just look at me okay?"


    Lily raised her little head, locked her eyes with him, and nodded. You Xi Wang nudged her small nose and stood up. He started strumming the guitar while his eyes were locked with the girl. Lily was still grabbing onto his trouser, started singing.


    The song was a popr one from his old. The song was called ''Superheroes'', the song could lift up spirits and was a very good morale booster. Over the top when a little girl sang it slowly it had an overwhelming effect altogether. The energetic chorus was sung by You Xi Wang. They sang three songs in the whole performance, one was a duet, called ''Together we walk'' this was a song from Metropia.


    Thest song was a solo by You Xi Wang, he sang another song from Metropia called ''The horizon''again a motivating song. At first, he wanted topose some songs for the night but when he was don curing Lily, he was affected and did not have the time to do anything more than what they just performed. The performance was finished. You Xi Wang held his guitar to his side and bowed to the crowd. Lily saw him bowing to the crowd and quickly followed. The audience adored this little star. They pped and cheered them.


    You Xi Wang bent down and picked up Lily in his arms. He came down from the stage, and the crowd gathered around to apuse. Some of his ssmates asked him if they can upload the recording of the performance on Metr. You Xi Wang asked them to send the videos to him as he will give them a surprise in a few days. They all agreed after You Xi Wang and Lily clicked a picture with them. Celestia has been waiting for a long time now and seeing that the ssmates still did not leave. She pushed them all and put her hands on her tiny waist. She red at You Xi Wang and pouted. Thetter understood that Celestia was feeling ignored. You Zhichi was busy apanying the shocked You Fengxian.


    You Xi Wang picked up Celestia in her left arm. You Xi Wang coaxed her with his sweet words. The two girls started chatting in his arms as he made his way to You Fengxian. Lily was now more energetic and would talk tirelessly. Her voice was very sweet and pleasant sounding. You Fengxian felt that this time was like an eternity she wanted to run to her daughter and hold her in her arms. She saw as You Xi Wang walked towards her holding Lily in his arms who was now talking with a smile on her face.


    Lily turned her face, her eyes stopped on her mother. She spoke, "Xixi, let me down."


    You Xi Wang also knew that this little girl wanted to go to her mother, so he put her down. Lily ran in her mother''s embrace as soon as she touched the ground. Both of them started shedding tears of joy. You Xi Wang watched this scene in silence. This scene reminded him of his mother. His eyes were about to get misty when he felt someone holding his hand. He smiled and closed his eyes. He knew that it must be his sister. She would always magically appear by his side whenever he is feeling upset.


    You Zhichi leaned her head against his shoulder. Celestia spoke at this moment, "Big Brother, did you cure Lily?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "This is a secret. Do not tell anyone, okay?"


    Celestia extended her pinky finger and said, "Pinky promise."


    You Xi Wang smiled and kissed her cheek. You Zhichi also joined in the chat and the three joked around slightly. The atmosphere lightened up a lot after they started joking with each other. You Fengxian walked over and stood near them and said, "Xiao Wang, thank you. I do not have words to express what this means to me. I cannot repay this debt."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "If you speak like this, I am ignoring you. Lily, teach your mom toe and talk to me when she sees me as your uncle and her younger brother."


    Lily knew You Xi Wang was just pretending so hurriedly said, "Yeah, I know right, Xixi. She is so formal all the time. What do I do with her?"


    You Fengxianughed and said, "Okay, no formalities, and you little brat learning from your uncle teasing mom. Just you wait and see how I teach you." she raised her hand and grabbed You Xi Wang''s ear.


    "Now preach. Do you think are old enough to teach your sister?" You Fengxian said with a smile on her face. She seems to have turned into a younger version of herself. You Xi Wang on the other side acted as if he was really hurt. The party went on smoothly, the couples danced and yed some games. Slowly the guests walked out, leaving only Neo, An, Fenny, and Yuki along with their parents. You Xi Wang asked them to wait in the guest hall as he had to deal with a small thing in the family.


    The family gathered in the main gathering hall. You Xi Wang took his seat on the master''s throne. He spoke in a calm voice, "You all are aware of Lily''s ailment. Yes, It has been cured. She can now live a normal life without the help of elders to suppress the dark energy. The thing I want to ask all of you is to not let this out. If someone asks, tell them that the dark energy disappeared after the elders refined it. Understood?"


    The crowd replied, "Yes, young master." as a united and loving family, they followed all themands of the leaders, and the leaders always worked for the sake of the family.


    You Xi Wang asked his cousin You Shan Wang to call the people from the guest hall to the gathering hall. These guests were the parents of his best friends. Today they were gathered here to celebrate and also to distribute the baked cake. While they all were in the whispering woods You Xi Wang found an invaluable treasure. Today the time to distribute it has arrived.


    The door opened and 12 people walked in the chairs for them were already set. You Xi Wang greeted them as the master of the You Family and not a junior. He spoke, "Wee everyone, please have a seat. Before I show you what the treasure is I hope that everyone can swear a blood oath to ensure the secrecy of this issue otherwise it may spell the destruction of my family."


    A red-haired man, who was obviously An''s father and had 90% of his facial features matching with the boy, stood up first, followed by his wife. Neo''s parents also swore a blood oath so did Fenny and Yuki''s parents. You Xi Wang saw this and nodded. The elders of the family watched all this calmly. They all have seen You Xi Wang grow up. They knew that he will do his best for the family. You Xi Wang spoke in You Naixin''s mind and she stood up. She walked to the center of the hall and said, "I think you juniors have all heard of the blood shackle tree?"


    Her words were like a bolt of lightning striking all the guests in a daze.

 Chapter 114: The Word is?

    Chapter 114: The Word is?


    The guests were all sitting in a daze. They quickly woke up from their stupor, but before they could say anything, You Naixin interrupted them. She raised her hand and said, "We have got five ripe fruits from the blood shackle tree. The distribution is clear to you all. One for each family. You can decide how and what to do with it."


    An''s father Aaron spoke, "Senior, I have read that the book shackle tree can produce over ten fruits. Why did you only get five?"


    You Naixin smile and said, "That is also true, but only when the tree is mature. What we have is just a pod. Five is still a satisfactory number. If you still do not believe me, I can swear a blood oath too. That would guarantee that I did not lie."


    Takeshi Kinben spoke, "Senior, there is no need I believe what you said is true." his wife Ushijima Choma nodded to show support. Minerva and Matthew, Fenny''s parents were half like family already, they were best friends with You Liangxin and Chem Limao so they naturally believed in You Naixin''s words. Neo''s mother was a beast, so she could guess when someone was falsifying things. She sensed nothing and thus remained calm. Her husband naturally remained silent on the side. He was still somewhat dazed. He was like a scientist, and when he heard the word Blood Shackle fruit, he was stunned.


    Aaron hurriedly spoke, "Senior, you misunderstand my words. I did not know that the nt was just a pod, and also even if you do not share it with us, I think no one will have any objection because An has told me it was Young Master You, who found this. It is his virtue and generosity to share this with us. I beg forgiveness for any offense I caused unintentionally.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Uncle Aaron, it is fine. Maybe you are not familiar with my granny, she is just teasing and testing you all. I treat my friends as my family so their parents are also family. I am neither generous neither am I self-less. This is just a way I thought of to make the rtionship between the families a bit more concrete."


    The elders nodded, You Xi Wang handled this situation with eloquence. They knew that You Naixin was someone who was prideful. She would not stand for some junior toe and question her intentions. At this moment You Xi Wang covering up the situation before this bomb was about to go off shows he is intelligent.


    The guests were humbled, the feeling of camaraderie shown by the host family has won them over. They were all intelligent people who understood that actions speak louder than words. they extended this friendship with the new master of You Family to another level. The atmosphere calmed down. Under You Xi Wang''s message, his grandmother took a shiny crimson red fruit out of her space ring. The fruit had wless skin, zed as if made of jade. Neo''s father could not stand anymore and stand up.


    He looked at You Naixin and said, "Senior, with your permission, may I inspect the fruit. I am a researcher and have always read about such things in books and papers. So I am a little curious."


    This man is called Simon Paul. He is a giant in research. he was a down-to-earth person, and that is why Neo''s mother who was a strong beast took a liking to him and married him. You Naixin nodded and Simon approached her. He pushed his sses up on his nose and observed the fruit with stars in his eyes. After a few moments, he stepped back and said, "It really is worthy of being called the millennium treasure. Xiao Wang, good find."


    You Xi Wang smiled quietly. He used his soul sense and the fruit floated from You Naixin''s hand. She took out the other three fruits from her space ring. The fruits floated in the air and drifted to Aaron Ignis, Ushijima Choma, Rivera (Neo''s Mother), and Minerva. These were the ruling people of the four households. So it was okay to pass on the fruits to them.


    You Naixin spoke, "The fruits have been shared, now you all can decide how to distribute the fruits among your families." she finished her words and went to sit down on the chair designated for her.


    They all talked about a few more things such as business and examination. Takeshi Kinben was asked to teach An some sword, and Yuki would receive Closebat and body training from Rivera. Fenny was also to apany her and try to increase her strength. Neo was asked to study gadgets, modification, and repair with Matthew. His face did not look happy, but it was a decision for the betterment of the team so he reluctantly agreed.


    The guests left the mansion with glee on their faces. He headed to his room and found both Susan and Emily waiting for him. They were wearing satin silk pajamas, looking absolutely gorgeous. You Xi Wang closed the door and took off his clothes in front of them. Susan''s eyes lit up when shey her gaze on his physique, while Emily''s face turned red with shame. He took a shower, came out, and changed into his nightwear. He faced the two women who were sitting quietly and asked, "Yes, lovelydies, what can I do for you?"


    Susan spoke first, "Emily sneaked out of the room. I followed her and found her here."


    Emily spoke, "Hey, you dragged me here saying that you want to stay with Young Master."


    Susan said, "You agreed to share with me."


    You Xi Wangughed, "Okay, how about we all sleep together?"


    The girls exchanged a nce and spoke in unison, "Okay."


    You Xi Wang was more than happy, this was was a virgin for 42 years counting 26 years in hisst life and 16 years in this one. He imed up the bed andid down. Susan took his right arm while Emily took his left arm. The softness of their body made his blood rush so fast that he was worried about nose bleed. Although he had seen these two girls without clothes, still being in close proximity with them makes him very excited. The boldness he showed when he was having intimate time with them was just a facade.


    Susan spoke, "Xi Wang, I know that you are not yet an adult, but is that the only thing that stops you from taking thest step with us?"


    Emily blushed and snuggled in his chest, but her ears were perked up to hear his reply. You Xi Wang spoke, "No, my focus right now is on getting stronger and increasing my power. I love you all, believe me, sometimes I have the urge to just do it, but that will distract me from my motive. I hope you understand."


    Susan spoke, "I understand, don''t worry. You and not just a teenager anymore, you are the master of the house and CEO of apany. So your responsibilities are more than just being with us and diving in pleasure."


    Emily spoke, "Yes, Young Master, we understand. You focus on your work with no worries in the heart. We all support you in every manner possible."


    You Xi Wang gazed at the ceiling with a smile on his face. Suddenly Emily kissed him. This surprised not only You Xi Wang but also Susan. She gloated, "Oh, the shy cat is not so shy."


    She also could not let go of such an opportunity, so just as Emily separated to catch her breath, Susan kissed You Xi Wang. They kissed and fondled each other. The situation escted when the clothes were taken off and they pleasured each other using hands and heads. But You Xi Wangs mental control was unshakable. He did not cross thest line, neither did the girls push him to. They also wanted their first time to be special.


    They yed with each other for a couple of hours before they stopped. One had to admit, the stamina of a cultivator was amazing. The three of them chatted and joked with each other before finally falling asleep. The night passed on in silence.


    You Xi Wang woke up in the morning surrounded by the softness of two beauties. He smiled with content in his heart.


    [Master, do you think that you can fool everyone in the name of responsibility?] the voice of the system rang out.


    You Xi Wang deted and replied, ''What do you know? It''s not like I don''t want to do it. It''s just that I get nervous whenever I think about it.''


    [You know they have a word for people in this situation] the system spoke again.


    ''What word is that?'' You Xi Wang asked.


    [L-O-S-E-R... haha haha] the system jabbed at him.


    ''#**$@#@#*@&#*@&#'' You Xi Wang abused in his mind but the system keptughing.

 Chapter 115: Meeting.

    Chapter 115: Meeting.


    You Xi Wang was riding his lev-bike to thepany office when he received the call. He parked the bike at one side. The call was from Petra. He epted with a dazzling smile. Petra''s image formed over the Holo-phone. She spoke first, "Good Morning, Xi Wang."


    "Good Morning, Petra. What made you call me this early?" he replied.


    "I wanted to ask if I cane over today to your office. The game isplete,, so I thought you should see if it is up to the mark. If all is good, then we send it for BETA testing?" she stated her motives.


    You Xi Wang agreed and set the appointment before lunch. After chatting for a few more minutes, they hung up. You Xi Wang headed home with Maya in a sling. She kept her head on his shoulder and would look around curiously. This beauty was now in the early stages of her growth, so her curiosity was reasonable.


    ...


    While You Xi Wang was heading to his office. He was unaware of the waves hisposition has created in the Education Council that even the head of the Silica City Council House felt he was not good enough to present a worthy reward for this essay and he passed the content on to the HeadQuarters of the Council.


    This decision was now going to earn him a lot of praise. The content was soon a topic of talk for the whole education branch. Some people were talking among themselves.


    "Say, Ben, how old do you think the schr needs to be this mature?"


    "I now right, the kid who wrote this is only 16 years old. I checked in the system. He is an old achievement holder."


    "Huh, that is surprising. What achievement does he have?"


    "The kid was awarded the moniker of The Maestro for finishing all then-existing books in the public avable content regarding Material Science in the Codex Hall."


    The others who heard him found it interesting. A woman asked, "That is not a big deal my child also did that at 18. Why was this boy awarded the moniker?"


    Ben replied, "Madam, this boy was only 14 that time. Imagine the hard work and persistence to clear the whole section at such a tender age. The award was shallow."


    Suddenly a voice filled with vicissitude rang out behind them, "Hmm, I agree with you ben."


    Everyone stiffened when they heard this old voice. They stood up and bowed in the person''s respect who had just appeared. Without them knowing, an old man was standing behind them listening to their conversation. This man was known as the most knowledgeable entity in the entire world and was the head of the Education Department of the council. His habit of randomly checking on the staff''s work was very well known,, and it kept the subordinates on their toes. Today was one of those days.


    The person stood straight and his skin was ruddy, his white beard was almost as long as himself. His eyes were sharp and shiny. He was wearing an ancient style robe. His name was not known to many people, so they called him President Book.


    Ben spoke, "Greetings, President Book."


    The old man nodded and asked with a smile, "May I see the essay, Ben?"


    Ben opened the essay on the screen. President Book read the content and his face changed. He smiled. The people who watched this sight were surprised. He spoke, " I have to make a trip and see The Maestro. Ben, go to the certification department for me and ask them to prepare amendation letter. The letter must say, "The candidate is rewarded rank of honorary Council Official and the title, The Pioneer.'' have it done in 10 minutes. I will collect the certificate from you soon. Also, update the forum and list this achievement. Disy the content of the letter to the entire world."


    Ben was shocked to hear that the president was going out himself. But he dared not speak. He just nodded his head like a chicken. He raised his head only to find that the president has vanished, but before he could sigh in relief, he recalled the task given to him by the president. He rushed to the certification department toplete the task.


    Just as the ten minutes passed, President Book appeared out of thin air. Ben has just finished updating the information and award on the Council page along with the Essay. He heaved a sigh of relief. President Book behind him smiled and said, "Good job, Ben. May I have the certificate please?"


    Ben stood up with a flinch. He picked up the Certificate and carefully passed it to the old man who stood behind him. President Book saw the certificate and nodded in satisfaction. He vanished just like smoke in the air. The whole Checking Department collectively heaved a sigh of relief. Someone asked, "Ben, why did the President go himself? Could he not have called over that kid himself? After all, the president is a Dao formation realm cultivator, they are one of the strongest entities in the entire world."


    Ben shook his head, "It is not about the strength but nature. You all must know that before he became so strong, the President was a normal Teacher. He cared for his students a lot. Teachers always search for students who will learn. The content of the essay was something that might have shaken the President and gave him the hope of finding a student. Who knows what the boss is thinking."


    The others nodded, and some were shocked by discovering the background of their boss. Still, they all went back to work with a little gossip. Who knows when the old man appears behind them.


    ...


    It was now 11 in the morning and Petra had just arrived in front of You Xi Wang''s cabin. Ste knocked and said, "Young Master, Miss Petra Fisher is here."


    "Let her in." a calm voice came from inside.


    Petra nodded to Ste and entered the cabin. You Xi Wang saw her and kept gazing at her. Petra was also gazing at him intently. They both sensed each other''s gaze and turned faces in embarrassment. You Xi Wang spoke, "Come, have a seat Petra."


    Petra was wearing a floral skirt, red flowers were scattered over the beige background. Her hair was left open, spear over her back as if a curtain of the night sky. She looked refreshed and ssy with the red pointed heels on her feet. A single anklet made her legs look especially tempting. You Xi Wang just wanted to jump on her. But he controlled his impulse and asked, "Would you like to have some tea?"


    Petra shook her head and said, "Can I have some juice?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and asked someone to send in two sses of juice. Petra took out a coin disk from her bag and ced it on the table. She spoke, "The game draft is inside this coin disk. You see it first and then we go to the final stage."


    You Xi Wang asked, "How is the progress of the Metro frame?"


    Petra smiled and said, "Completed."


    You Xi Wang was surprised and spoke in excitement, "Really?"


    Petra took out a ss tab from her bag it was as big as a mobile on the earth. She gave it to You Xi Wang. She spoke, "Standard Tab, dedicated to click pictures on the post them on the servers of our app. The app interface is just like you described. Instant reaction feature,menting, following each other, also, the report feature has been added. Thepany also posted an application in the council office regarding the memes you spoke about. The reply told us that material under the tolerance policy is okay to publish. I mean, try not to post anything with creates a social disorder and you are fine."


    You Xi Wang held the tab in his hands and operated. He created an ount and password. He saw the interface was good. He asked, "When are the servers going online?"


    Petra replied, "One week."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I have an idea about the update of this thing. Develop an app for the Holo-phone and post the download link. Add the camera filter feature as a premium user privilege."


    Petra nodded, stood up. She spoke, "You check the game data and contact me in the evening?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Okay, how about we discuss it over a meal in the evening? My treat."


    Petra smiled, she knew that he wanted to spend time with her. She was also looking forward to spending time with him and said, "Okay. Pick me up from my home."


    You Xi Wang said, "Wear somethingfortable to ride on the Lev bike."


    The girl blushed and nodded. She left quickly after that. Ste came in after Petra left and told You Xi Wang, that an official from the council is waiting for him. You Xi Wang told her to call him in.


    This official was none other than President Book. His beard was not as long as it was in the checking department office, and he was wearing a suit. He entered the office with steady steps. You Xi Wang stood up from his seat and was about to greet him when the system spoke, [Master, this man is under disguise and his strength is above Nirvana realm. I don''t know how strong he is at this moment.]


    You Xi Wang kept a calm face. He held his fist together and bowed his head without taking his eyes off of the man. He spoke, "Junior has seen senior. Please have a seat."

 Chapter 116: Acknowledging Master.

    Chapter 116: Acknowledging Master.


    President Book took the seat on the chair across the table. You Xi Wang spoke, "May I ask the purpose of your visit, Senior?" his tone was calm not overbearing, and neither too humble. The old man nodded inwardly when he saw that the temperament of this boy was good.


    He spoke, "I am here to pass on the certificate of achievement to you on behalf of the Council. The essayposition written by you is appreciated by us." he took out the certificate and ced it on the table. You Xi Wang nced at the certificate, unconsciously smiled.


    He looked up at the old man and said, "Thank you."


    The old man was supposed to leave at this moment but he asked, "I wonder how a young man like you came to this conclusion. Can you share some insights with this old man?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I dare not teach anyone as I am still learning myself. But since senior has spoken I would express my thoughts." he paused to see the old man''s reaction. Thetter nodded and You Xi Wang continued, "The world around us is very advanced but it still retains the ancient charm and practices. What I personally find missing is the spirit. The spirit of always improving. The people these days, do not chase after improvisation. In my eyes, those who do not improve are just living in vain. The current downfall in the quality of cultivation base of the masses is a perfect example. The people are used to living infort and they seem to have forgotten that cultivation is all butfort. If this trend continues then our world might degrade into a mortal world."


    The old man was shocked but also nodded. You Xi Wang had written this in his essay but the effect of hearing him say this is extremely awakening. He watched the kid in front of him curiously. He asked, "Tell me about yourself. Why are you handling the office work at such a young age?"


    You Xi Wang looked at him and spoke, "My parents passed away after the spiritual core in their vehicle exploded. So my elder sister and I took it on ourselves to carry on what our parents build."


    The old man spoke, "You have my sincerest condolences. I heard that you are also the master of the family now, Why did you take up such a big responsibility?"


    You Xi Wang replied in an unhurried manner, "Pressure keeps one from giving up. I want to reach the apex of this world. This pressure helps me grow. It is just like a sword, the more you refine the metal the better the final product. My family is my strength and I want to lead them to the very peak of this world."


    The old man nodded. He asked You Xi Wang one more question, "What do you think one should do to make people remember the spirit of ancient times?"


    You Xi Wang pondered for a while, "A spear too stiff will break while the same being too flexible will lose its strength to stab. The world is just like a spear. The spirit of ancient times cannot be applied in the current age but the fact that we are cultivators is being forgotten. The only way I see can work is to create new opportunities and give people a chance to do their best to improve." this answer was the least expected by the old man.


    He smiled and said, "Say, kid, would you like to acknowledge me as your master?"


    You Xi Wang was shocked to hear this sudden proposal. He spoke, "May I ask senior a few questions before I answer this?" the calm voice sounded like a wail to the Old man waking him up from his ecstasy.


    He nodded to You Xi Wang letting him ask the question. The boy spoke, "Is it convenient to disclose your true identity? I do not trust everyone easily, forgive my bluntness."


    President Book was shocked by the fact that this boy discovered his disguise. He waved his hand and his disguise was taken off. His beard also grew back to its full length. He spoke, "My name is Alester Book, president of the Education Department of the Council."


    You Xi Wang nodded and continued to ask, "Why did you want to take me in as your disciple?"


    The old man spoke without any hesitation, "In the early days of my life, I used to be a teacher and due to some reason took over the path of a teacher.ter in life gained strength and was then appointed to my current position. I never choose any disciples because their satisfaction was not to my taste. So when I saw your satisfaction in the world. I thought about asking you. In my view, only those who seek constant improvement are suitable to cultivate."


    You Xi Wang nodded and he spoke, "This will be myst question, I know that senior''s cultivation is near the pinnacle. But I do not like to be bound. The council is one such bound. The administration is too rigid, I feel it is wed. This gives birth to my question If I say I do not want to be a part of the Council in the future. Will you still ask me to be your disciple?"


    The old man smiled, he was an undying monster and was aware of You Xi Wang''s temperament by now. He also understood a fact, Dragons are not meant to be kept in cages. He nodded and spoke, "Yes, I swear in the name of my blood, that if You Xi Wang acknowledges me as his master, he will be free to select his own path in the future."


    You Xi Wang was once again surprised by the bluntness of this old man in front of him. But he was not shocked so he stood up from his chair, picked up the kettle on the side, and brewed some tea. He walked up to the old man and kneeled down. He spoke with his arms extended towards the old man, "Disciple has seen master, please ept this tea."


    The reason You Xi Wang acknwledged Book as his master was because the system has passed a decree that this man passes the test and is not having any malicious intent towards him. The system was an entity that cannot be described with themon principle of logic. It can look into the soul of any targetted person to sense if they have any malicious intent.


    President Book smiled in satisfaction as he epted the tea. He spoke after taking a few sips, "Xiao Wang, I can see that your physique is different than others. Why is that? I cannot see what is your elemental affinity."


    You Xi Wang smiled and did not say anything, he raised his hands in the air and five balls formed, hovering over his palm. President Book shivered and the cup in his hand fell down but there was no noise. You Xi Wang used his soul energy to keep the cup floating. The old man stood up from his chair. His face was now red as a tomato. His breathing changed and became chaotic. You Xi Wang saw this and said, "Master, you need to calm down or the bacsh will cause injuries."


    President Book woke up from his stupor, closed his eyes, and calmed down. He spoke when he opened his eyes, "Xiao Wang, how many people know about you having the ability to use five elements?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Including you, family elders, my elder sister, and my team. They are all the people I can trust with my life rest assured Master. This thing will not spread, the reason I showed it to you is that as a disciple, one should trust their Master."


    The old man nodded in content, exhaled deeply, and said, "Very well then. I will give you a gift. The breathing exercise you practice is not high enough. From now on you practice The five elements Sutra. I once found this book in a ruin. This ruin once belonged to ancient cultivators. This method caught my eye and I kept it. Now it seems that we were fated to be Master and Disciple." he took out a book from his space ring and passed it to You Xi Wang. The book was tattered but the content was unharmed. You Xi Wang was excited to start practice because this method was tailor-made for him.


    President Book exchanged his contact information with You Xi Wang and waved his hand. Space cracked, You Xi Wang was shocked, and before he could ask anything President Book spoke, "For the time being do not tell anyone about our rtionship on your own initiative. I will see you at the battle fest. Cultivate well and if you do not understand anything you contact me."


    You Xi Wang bowed and spoke, "Yes master."


    He heard a soft hmmm and when he looked up the Old man was gone.

 Chapter 117: Progressing.

    Chapter 117: Progressing.


    You Xi Wang called Petra only to find out she did not leave the edifice but was talking to You Zhichi about some finance issues. The young man took the data coin and made his way to his sister''s office. He knocked twice on the door, his sister spoke from the inside, "Come in."


    You Xi Wang entered the room and saw Gerrard and Petra were sitting in chairs across from You Zhichi. He walked beside his sister and spoke, "I am going to test the game myself, so I would need the chief programmer to follow me to the R&D wing."


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "Okay, we are finished talking about the finance distribution here as well. The advertisement n has been revised."


    You Xi Wang looked at the n key points on the screen and said, "Why do guys always make things so generic?"


    You Zhichi smiled, "What do you suggest? The reason I did this is to keep it simple and easy to manage."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, after all, his sister was also from Metropia as well. No wonder she also thinks the same way. He spoke, "Big Sis, only when you try to go out of yourfort zone can you achieve greatness. I came up with these things because I did not want my efforts to be forgotten with time. This game will be recorded in history, believe me. Anyway, do this. Select 100 people at random from the users of your products. Pro-Code is a well-established name among tech geeks. Provide them with the equipment and let them test the game. Stream it live on Metr."


    The three people felt as if a new world opened to them. They agreed, and the n was revised. You Xi Wang led Petra to the R&D department. He found an engineer from the team who developed the VR helmet. The engineer had sses, a standard to-the-side hairstyle. The body was lean and tall. He stood up from his chair as soon as he saw You Xi Wanging in. He greeted You Xi Wang first.


    "Good noon, Young Master." his voice was calm and his eyes were firm.


    "Good noon, Mr. Ndri. Is the VR helmet ready?" You Xi Wang spoke politely. This man was one of the earliest engineers his father recruited back when he started thepany. Ndri was an introvert, did not like gossip. He was a kind-hearted man and treated the surrounding people with kindness. You Xi Wang had a good impression of him. That is why he asked him to lead the team to fabricate a VR helmet meant for games.


    Ndri nodded and picked up a ck helmet from the shelf behind him. He spoke, "Young Master, the typical VR helmets are used for educational purposes and thus they have limited performance. We have designed this helmet a bit differently. The processor can process at a speed of that of a supeputer. Boot time is 3 seconds. We have also incorporated a slot specifically for coin disks. The user can y multiple games with the same helmet. The helmet also includes an emergency rm. If the user feels any sort of difort while using the equipment, the rm will set off and the connection will automatically end and notify the nearest hospital and the rtives of the user."


    You Xi Wang felt very satisfied with this design, this was just the first version and the specs will be upgraded. He spoke to Ndri after listening to his description, "Mr. Ndri, if possible, then please make it so that the equipment cannot be reverse engineered, or we will have to apply for a patent."


    Ndri nodded, which meant he will look into it. You Xi Wang gave him the coin disk with the game software and asked him to set it up for him and connect the game to a big screen so that the people on the outside can monitor how and what he is doing. Ndri did as he was asked. You Xi Wang sat down in a chair and put the helmet over his head. He smiled at Petra and said, "See you in a bit Petra."


    Petra smiled at his gesture. You Xi Wang closed his eyes and issued amand, "Boot"


    The equipment started and You Xi Wang drifted into the virtual world. He opened his eyes and around him was a white wall. Soon he heard a prompt in a machinic voice.


    ''Wee, please register a username''


    You Xi Wang thought about his name and registered.


    Phantom1


    Space glowed and You Xi Wang stood on a field which was just as he described, his outfit changed, he was wearing a white sports shirt and ck shorts. His legs were covered with knee-high socks. He was wearing spiked shoes as he described. He jumped up a few times and spoke, "Petra, make this a little more creative. Rather than throwing the yer straight on the field, give him an option to design his own clothes."


    Petra on the outside took notes of everything he said. You Xi Wang proceeded with his testing. He sprinted from end to end of the field and said, "When you run without spiritual energy you will get tired, and a normal human will sweat. The body will feel warm and the legs will feel heavy."


    Next, a ball appeared, but the size was bigger than the one on earth by one inch. He spoke again, "Downsize the ball by one inch, the diameter should be 22cm. Also, please make it so that the user can sense kicking the ball. I felt nothing at all. Too virtual, not real."


    He gave some more instructions, such as adding a virtual audience around the field, like making stands in the stadium. Time settings, weather settings, pitch settings. He tested the game for twenty minutes and came out of the virtual space. He asked Petra to design a tunnel that leads to the stadium, and the menu about different settings should appear on the left or the right of the user inside the tunnel. They can adjust the settings before they walk out on the field.


    You Xi Wang removed the helmet and said, "Petra, ask your programmers to find a way and make it so that the yers can stream the game live on Metro Frame."


    Petra nodded and asked, "Xi Wang, how do you evene up with all these ideas."


    You Xi Wang shrugged his shoulders and after asking Ndri to make some changes in the design to make it morefortable, he left. Ndri was also very satisfied with the approach of his boss. He was an engineer, and he liked to make new things.


    Petra followed You Xi Wang to his office and sat down in the chair opposite him. You Xi Wang spoke while trying the tab in his hand, "Petra, this app also needs some changes. You remember I asked you about the filters option?"


    Petra spoke, "Yes, what about it?"


    You Xi Wang said, "We keep the app free, but we charge the people for advertising their products. Like a hotel owner wants the people to know about his new dishes and offers, then he can pay us and we advertise it for him. You get what I mean?"


    Petra thought about it and said, "How about I talk to Miss You about this? She would know about this better."


    You Xi Wang agreed and send her away, but not before flirting with her a bit. He called Ste inside and asked, "Do I have any other meetings?"


    Ste spoke, "No."


    You Xi Wang: "Do me a favor and ask Aunty Minerva and Uncle Matthew to pace up the Virtual Cabin?"


    Ste smiled and said, "Okay, will do. Anything else?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Yes, no disturbance. I need to cultivate."


    Ste nodded and left, You Xi Wang locked the door from inside and sat down crossed leg on a mat in the office. He opened the Five-element Sutra book Alester Book gave him. The words were written in the ancientnguage. The system spoke, [Hint, run the all attribute spiritual energy through the book.]


    You Xi Wang did as the system said andbined his energy into all attribute energy and ran it through the book. As soon as the transmission of energy started, the words written in the book glowed with golden light. They floated up in the air and entered his dantian. You Xi Wang did not know how long the processsted because his consciousness was blurry at that moment. When he came to his senses, he found out that his realm has advanced by one minor level. He was now an early 8th level spirit formation cultivator.


    You Xi Wang exhaled a mouthful of white mist. He stood up and practices some Taichi while running the five-element sutra during the process. The more he practiced, the smoother his progress became. After he was done ten cycles of running the spiritual energy, he stopped. You Xi Wang rxed his body and his eyes were filled with bliss. He muttered, "Twice the gain, half the effort. This method is tailor made for me. I will consolidate my realm in two days. Then we can go on umting more energy and advance."


    He looked around and saw that the book in which the technique was recorded had already turned to dust. The system said, [The technique is now inside your dantian. You can check it when you focus and look inside yourself.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and was about to test what the system said when his Holo-Phone rang.

 Chapter 118: Sparring.

    Chapter 118: Sparring.


    You Xi Wang saw that the caller was his school administration office. He picked up the call, "Hello."


    The other side replied, "Hello, Student You Xi Wang?"


    "Yes, speaking." You Xi Wang replied.


    "Student, we are calling you regarding the duel set up between you and the other battle fest seed participants. The date has been decided and we are sorry for the inconvenience, but you will have to report to the battle arena in the inner ring tomorrow morning."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Okay, sir."


    The administration staff told him some things such as basic rules and timing before the call disconnected. You Xi Wang heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw his sister standing in front of him. She saw him, suddenly she smiled and said, "You broke through?"


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. He held her hand and dragged her inside before closing the door again and cast a sound barrier to make sure that no one could peep on them. This was just to increase security. He said, "Big sis, I was visited by the President of the Educational Department."


    You Zhichi naturally understood this person was from the council. She was surprised and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Did that person say anything to you?" she was worried that such a big shot appearing here to meet her brother could be a troublesome thing.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "No, I acknowledged him as my Master. Also, he asked me to keep it a secret. Do not worry, he pledged on his blood that he will not harm me. He also told me that my freedom will not be restricted."


    You Zhichi was shocked, and then the shock changed into a pleasant surprise. This meant that her brother now had a strong backer. She hugged her brother in joy. You Xi Wang was also very content to see her sister like this. You Zhichi then said, "You know I am also a seeded candidate in the battle fest. You will fight against me tomorrow. Be careful because I won''t go easy on you."


    You Xi Wang chuckled replied, "I won''t have it any other way." although he was worried about how to attack her tomorrow because his heart could not bear to injure his sister. He kept calm on the surface. He talked about this issue with his elders.


    The two set off for home, this time You Zhichi was also riding on his Lev-Bike. You Xi Wang rode the bike with ease. The siblings also grabbed some street food take away for the family. After a round of some window shopping, they returned home. You Xi Wang let his sister take care of the food distribution and he rushed to adjust his new strength. He called his elder cousin You Shan Wang in the training field.


    A lot of members were still practicing inside. They saw You Xi Wang and You Shan Wang walking inside, and the atmosphere immediately picked up. Two groups were formed, the boys of the family were siding with You Shan Wang and were teasing You Xi Wang, who kept smiling, while the girls in the family were like angry tigresses defending their cub ''You Xi Wang''.


    You Shan Wang said, "Hey, Xiao Wang, howe you are always so popr among the sisters."


    Before You Xi Wang could reply a girl from the side said, Because Xiao Wang never bullied us, he was naughty but never harmed us. While you bunch of brawn for brains, had the gall to cut this olddy''s hair."


    You Shan Wang coughed to hide embarrassment. They were all naughty as kids although they were cousins they did not differ from real siblings in the family. The boys had always bullied the girls in the past. You Xi Wang was always polite and respectful to his elder cousins. You Shan Wang spoke again, "Okay, Xiao Wang say how to do it"


    You Xi Wang said, "Big brother, I have to fight with many people including Chichi tomorrow in school and I broke through today, so I want to adapt to this new strength. How about no weapon sparring? You all take turns? It will be fun, I can umte some experience and train my techniques."


    You Shan Wang nodded in agreement. Everyone else also felt their spirit rise. These words would have sounded arrogant if anybody other than You Xi Wang would have used them. They all clearly knew his strength and some of them were close to breakthrough to Core formation realm. They wanted to see You Xi Wang''s limit as well.


    The crowd took a few steps, leaving You Xi Wang and You Shan Wang in the center of the field. You Xi Wang did not put on his jade gloves but used bare fists to confront his elder cousin. The crowd spoke in unison, "Three, two, one, go!"


    The two moved together, fists connected.


    BOOM!


    Dust rose the impact was strong, neither of the people took a step back. You Xi Wang was holding back and so was the case with You Shan Wang. They both stood on the spot and exchanged blows. You Xi Wang was enforcing his muscles with spiritual energy and with every blow he was getting proficient with the energy control. You Shan Wang was also increasing the power with every blow. They exchanged fifty punches in a minute. From the side, a figure came and stood between them with a smile. This person was called, You Tong, he was proficient in the art of kicks and was already level on core formation like You Shan Wang. He spoke, "Big bro, your minute is up. My turn." he was just a month younger than You Shan Wang.


    You Shan Wang retreated, and You Tong took his ce, "Xiao Wang, ready?"


    You Xi Wang smiled saluted him with his fist, "I have seen big brother Tong. Yes, ready now."


    The family was amused with his mannerism because when he sits on the throne, his demeanor goes aplete transformation. You Tong smiled and his figure shed. His leg whipped towards You Xi Wang reaping air. The kick produced a whooshing sound. He did not believe in holding back.


    You Xi Wang did not hold back as well and kicked with his full strength, meeting his opponent''s strike.


    BANG!


    The ground under the two cracked slightly, they were evenly matched. You Xi Wang however did not stop and used his left foot to jump in the air. His body turned to 360 degrees generating momentum and his leg shot out fiercely, You Tong used his hands to defend himself. Another big sound rang throughout the field, You Tong took back two steps. The duel did not end, but the two figures kept jumping around and kicking each other. They continued for one minute and the opponent changed. This time it was the grappler of the family You smith, his mother was from the western side of the world. You Xi Wang also disyed his proficiency in hard and soft. The two people were like snakes trying to wrap each other in a deadlock, but the grapple was always broke by the other party.


    You Smith was also a core formation-level cultivator. He has evenly matched with You Xi Wang. The sparring continued, and the opponents kept changing. Even girls took part. You Xi Wang used the skills from earth to face them all one by one. His proficiency in taekwondo, Wing-Chun, Kri, Muay-Thai, boxing, and other arts also grew in this sparring session. The culture of Metropia was like that of the earth. The martial skills here had some simrity with them, and thus he became proficient with the usage.


    After two hours all of them were down taking turns and now You Xi Wang was also tired. His clothes were soaked in sweat, but he was not panting. He enjoyed this session a lot. The others in the family also learned more about their weaknesses and resolved to grow strong. You Naixin was watching all this and finally could not hold back. She came forward and said, "Xiao Wang, how about having a round with your granny."


    All the cousins were surprised, they all knew the horror of Granny Xin, as they all had sparred with her at least once when she guided them in cultivation. Her forte was speed, and she had a fire spiritual root. The destruction capability of this element was overwhelming under her control. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Ready when you are granny."


    You Naixin smiled, "Good." she pointed at him and turned to look at the children of the family and said, "You brats, look at this. Your younger brother never hesitates, that is why he is strong. Remember, cultivation is to defy the heavens. You all need to be decisive."


    The crowd spoke, "Yes, granny Xin."


    She took her stance, her soft palms in a halting pose. Her right hand in front of her left hand, while her left foot was in front of her right foot. Her left knee was slightly bent. You Xi Wang saw this stance, and he knew that his grandmother was serious. You Xi Wang took a deep breath. He put his fist up left in front of his right fist, he stood with his shoulders slightly facing to left. His legs were parted. The weight of his body was transferred to his toes. He was skipping on his feet.


    The crowd did not know what battle style was this, but they could not find any weak spot. You Naixin was also surprised and her left eyebrow raised a bit. You Xi Wang said, "Granny, spare my face, your son needs to appear in public tomorrow. I rely on my face the most you know."


    Granny Xin chuckled, and they both vanished, stirring up the dust. The crowd could only see an azure shadow and fire sparks flying around. Another thing was the thumping sounds. They could feel the shock wave but not find the two amidst the dust cloud. This continued for a minute and they came to a stop. You Xi Wang was panting, breathing was ragged. It showed that he gave his best topete against You Naixin. There were red palm prints on his shirt. Evidently, he was burned by You Naixin''s palms. You Naixin was not having a good time too. Her palms were red, the sleeves of her dress were also torn, and there were some blue marks. These marks were left by the kicks and punches.


    You Naixin said, "Well Done, Xiao Wang." she smiled and used her spiritual energy to heal the bruise marks. You Xi Wang smiled and staggered, "Granny, you are getting old. Otherwise, my ass would be red now."


    The whole crowdughed. This kid still had the gall to tease granny. You Naixin shook her head and came to his side. She supported him and said, "Putting up a brave front,e you need to rest."


    She looked at the others and said, "Go, eat something and deal with your affairs. You all need to rest and ponder over today''s sparring too."

 Chapter 119: Let The Battle Begin.

    Chapter 119: Let The Battle Begin.


    You Naixin supported You Xi Wang to his room and helped him to his bed. You Xi Wang was exhausted to his core. The final spar with his grand-aunt really derived his reserves clean. Hey down on the bed with his eye half-close. You Naixin caressed his forehead gently and smiled. She loved this boy a lot. After all, no one in the family had the guts to pull off pranks on her, but You Xi Wang would tease her and pull pranks on her ever since he was a kid. She was a widow and as a virtuousdy did not choose to marry again. You Xi Wang was just like her own blood and bones to her.


    She was about to get up and leave the room when You Xi Wang asked, "Granny, I have a question."


    You Naixin replied in a soft voice, "Tell me."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "How do I face big sis tomorrow? I do not want to hold back, but if I hurt her, then I would never forgive myself."


    You Naixin chuckled and said, "You two kids sure are siblings. Even your sister asked me the same thing."


    "What did you tell her?" You Xi Wang asked with curiosity."


    "I told her to believe in you, you can face her. I, now, tell you the same thing. Believe in your sister that she can handle a greenhorn brat like you. Also, do not hold back." She teased the boy a bit.


    You Xi Wang smiled slightly and his eyes closed, seemed as if all the burdens in his heart have been lifted. You Naixin stood up and left the room. As she was in front of the door, she looked up at the sky and thought to herself.


    ''Liangxin, Limao, your children are very strong.''


    She let out a sigh and walked to her room with a faint smile on her face. She really wanted to witness how the duel between these siblings would be like. She came up with an idea and left to find some kids.


    ...


    Every student in the Silica City Academy was now gathered in the central school stadium. This stadium was the ce where important and big assemblies of the students were conducted under the supervision of the teachers and elders from various halls. Today was one such day. The event today was themencement of the Battle fest internal selection. Every year had 10 sses, each ss had 60 students each. There were seven grades of students. A total of 42,000 students, this staggering number was no less than an army troop, but since there was only one academy in every city. It was still digestible.


    Before the selection tournament starts, the seeded yers will have a bout for the designation of the captain of the team. The method of this contest was very simple, You Xi Wang was the captain rmended by the five elders of the school, so he would face the six strongest students of the senior years. Although he has passed the examination and is now a student of the third grade, while he was appointed as the captain he was still a first-grade student.


    ...


    The stadium was designed in an oval shape, stands for the audience was build to witness the ceremonies alongside the edge of the stadium field. In the center of the field, there was a tform created with Lithical Iron. On the sides of this tform were some scratch marks, fist marks, footprints. These marks were left by some of the strongest students who graduated from the school. This tform was made of special material and if the marks left are a bit too shallow, then they would erase after ten days.


    The principal of the academy was standing on the top of the tform. He was an elderly man and his face was filled with wrinkles. He was wearing a western suit, his gray hair was neatlybed. Although, he was old in age his eyes were as sharp as a sword out of its sheath. The students did not dare to look in his eyes. He spoke in a sonorous voice, "Dear students of the academy, I, William Trevor, called you here to witness the selection of our team captain in the uing Battle fest. I hope that you all share their spirit and support them as these fellow students of yours embark on the journey to win glory for them and you."


    Thunderous apuse rang out in the stadium. All the students stood up regarding William Trevor. It was said that William Trevor was a veteran of the defense force before he joined the academy as a battle hall instructor. He trained the battle hall disciples with an iron hand rule and led them all to the top of among the other city battle halls.


    William Trevor spoke again, "All the students listed for the battle today,e forth on the tform. Let your fellow students see your spirit."


    You Xi Wang waked up the stage. He was representing the first grade in this battle so the students ascended the tform is starting from the lowest grade to the highest. Next to You Xi Wang stood a brawny boy with brown hair. This boy was representing the second grade. His name was Marcus Langdon. He looked at You Xi Wang with arrogance and snorted. Our protagonist, however, ignored this behavior and mop the floor with his face in the battle.


    Then came a Lolita. This girl had violet hair, her eyes were also violet, those her face was beautiful, but her figure was not that well developed. She had a smile on her face. This girl was called Misty Shay. Don''t be deceived by that smiling face, there was a rumor that this girl was a sadist and however offended her in the third year would be seen bowing their heads when they see her after a few days. God knows how she did that.


    Another fellow came up the stage this guy was a handsome boy, he looked like a book work with sses on his nose. But the sword tied to his waist and the cold aura emitted by him made people think twice. This boy was called Jack, nobody knew hisst name, and he wasn''t interested in telling them as well. He was representative of the fourth grade. His sword was said to be the swiftest and sharpest in the whole school.


    The representatives of the fifth and sixth year were two brothers. They were called Orion and Aries. They belonged to the Paul family. Elder Cousins of Neo Paul. They both had star-like eyes. It was said that they were blessed by the constetions they were born in.


    You Zhichi ascended the tform. I guess there is no need for me to describe how good she looks. The crowd looked at her and was mesmerized. The participants were standing in a circle. So You Zhichi stood on the right side of You Xi Wang facing outwards, to the audience. The audience cheered for their favorites. You Xi Wang stood there with a calm face.


    Aries looked at You Zhichi and he could help but imagine some obscene things. But just as he was drawing in fictional a cold gaze and killing intent broke his train of thoughts. This killing intent was emitting from You Xi Wang, who was looking at him with a calm face. His eyes were so cold that Aries felt chill rising from his spine. You Xi Wang spoke, "Do you want to fight before the principal announces?"


    Everyone was shocked to see this You Zhichi bitterly smiled and said, "Gougou, don''t make trouble"


    You Xi Wang snorted and the killing intent vanished. William Trevor noticed this and spoke, "Student You Xi Wang before we all start. Exin to me why did you think about killing a fellow student? Do you know that this incident is enough to expel you from school?"


    You Zhichi was about to exin, but You Xi Wang beat her to it.


    "If the heavens looked at my sister with obscene thoughts, I will y the heavens, let alone this guy. I know you would want proof. I swear on my blood that if this guy did not reek of lust, I will die right now." You Xi Wang bit his finger and a drop of blood flew up in the air. The drop shone brightly, showing thepletion of the oath. William Trevor nodded just as he was about to turn around he saw You Xi Wang looking into his eyes calmly.


    He was surprised that even if he did not emit his aura, all the students would try to avoid his gaze. You Xi Wang stood with his hand behind the back, high head, and straight back. He was like a spear standing against the heavens. William was surprised and nodded in approval. This young man was not simple.


    William spoke in a sonorous voice, "Student You Xi Wang will face all the other six students back to back. The senior year students can even go against him altogether should they want to."


    His words set off a chain of murmurs around the stadium. You Xi Wang''s friends, however, were calm in the crowd. Neo spoke, "I bet Aries will lose at least a dozen teeth in this battle."


    Fennyughed and said, "Oye, don''t you look down on my baby Wang. Your cousin will lose his ribs and might even go to spend a day in the hospital."


    Yukiughed at this, she said, "He will lose his dignity. How dare he think bad about Big Sis Zhichi? If you poke the reverse scale of a dragon, then you better be ready for the retribution."


    William spoke, "I would like to inform the contenders now. You are prohibited from abolishing dantian, killing. If you are found to be viting the rules then you will be punished ording to the Council''s penal code. Also, if anyone seeks revenge for the defeat they face in this ring outside. They will be hunted down by all the forces."


    The students nodded and parted into two groups. You Xi Wang stood on one side of the tform while the other six stood opposite him. William Trevor spoke, "The battle begins."

 Chapter 120: Sweeping.

    Chapter 120: Sweeping.


    William Trevor was the presiding judge, and he stood outside the battle area designated for the contenders. The rule was simple, either you make the opponent admit defeat, throw them out of the designated area or you knock them out. Fulfill one of the three conditions and you will win. You Xi Wang was pumped up and took a step forward, raised his palm, and made the gesture towards the opponents.


    He even spoke, "Come let''s dance."


    William Trevor and the audience were even more surprised by his attitude. They obviously knew this term was the modern ng for let''s fight but facing six people and he did not hesitate before calling them out.


    Marcus Langdon was the type of person who bullied the weak and worshipped the strong. He felt very indignant after hearing this and step forward. This conceited guy spoke to You Zhichi, "Senior sister Zhichi, forgive me but I will have to use a heavy hand."


    You Zhichi spoke in a gentle tone, "If you think you can please go ahead." she was not even the least bit worried about this guy winning her brother. Marcus on the side felt a little uneasy with herment. He shook his head and stepped forward. He locked his eyes with You Xi Wang and said, "Come, let senior brother teach you."


    You Xi Wang stood on the tform with an indifferent face. Marcus was even more pissed. William Trevor spoke, "Begin."


    Marcus was getting ready to make a move, but he had not even taken the stance yet and a fist came in contact with his liver.


    Pooh!!


    You Xi Wang punched him right in the liver, making him barf his breakfast on the tform. You Xi Wang did not stop and chopped on his neck. This chop wasced with spiritual energy. Marcus only felt a sting and then he fell down t on his face. The crowd was stunned. The contestants were stunned. The referee was left speechless. You Xi Wang looked at him and said, "Sir, he is out?"


    William Trevor woke up from his stupor. He nodded and gestured for the support staff to carry off Marcus from the stage and clean his puke. You Xi Wang stood on the spot and waited for the next participant toe.


    Misty Shay came forward with a wicked smile on her face. She spoke in a coquettish voice, "Little brother, are you ready?"


    You Xi Wang was still indifferent regarding her. William Trevor gestured, and the fight started. Misty Shay was not like Marcus. She unrolled her whip and swung it violently at You Xi Wang as soon as the hand gesture from the principal was done. You Xi Wang was also not cking off. He directly grasped the whip in his palm and tugged it with all his force. Misty involuntarily took a couple of steps forward. She wanted to counter, but she saw You Xi Wang approaching her like a gale. Her eyes shed, and she took out a dagger tied to her back and stabbed at the approaching, You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang knew that he was approaching too fast and cannot stop midway so he waved his left hand and his spear appeared with a sh. He stabbed at Misty. Spears have the advantage in range. One inch longer, one inch stronger. The tip of the spearhead was pointed at Misty''s porcin neck. It was faintly touching the skin and a drop of blood could be seen forming slowly on the point of contact. Misty felt her whole body turn stiff. Her eyes were dted into needle points. She did not expect You Xi Wang toe at her so seriously, yet she was not afraid as she did not sense any killing intent. This made her drop her guard slightly and allow You Xi Wang to defeat her.


    She spoke, "I admit defeat." her voice was tiny. She did not dare to make big movements, worried that the spear tip might dig in deeper. William nodded and spoke, "You Xi Wang, advances."


    The Misty walked down the stage and stood by Marcus, who by now was awake. He was still contemting what happened to him. Misty also recalled the scene just now. She shivered in fright. This guy could kill you and perfectly hide his killing intent. She decided never to be on this guy''s bad side. The experience of death was simply terrifying. She prayed for those who were about to face him. She looked at Marcus who sat next to her and asked, "Why are you having a confused expression?"


    Marcus said, "I don''t remember how he defeated me."


    Misty: ...


    ...


    On the stage, Jack came forward with his sword, and the crowd began talking, "Senior brother Jack will definitely deal with this guy in one sh."


    "Tsk, shut up and watch okay, I have butterflies in my stomach right now and they want to fly out."


    Another person spoke, "I know right, this junior brother only used a handful of moves to defeat two seeded contenders. He is making my blood boil."


    ...


    You Xi Wang was calm on the stage and a sword appeared in his hand. This sword was purgatory. Sheathed in a white case, quite contrary to its nature. You Xi Wang spoke, "To respect your sword."


    Jack was surprised and nodded to You Xi Wang. William also liked this attitude. Jack was a student who achieved sword intent at such a young age, and he deserved to be respected. The old man waved his hand, signaling the start of the battle.


    You Xi Wang was not carefree. He sensed a sharp intent shing at him as soon as Jack touched the hilt of his sword. You Xi Wang did not falter and released his own intent to sh. Sparks flew out in the center of the stage. Both the parties have not yet moved even a step but this is just the result of their intent. Jack did not expect this junior to have realized the intent of the sword. His eyes lit up and a strong desire to fight emerged in them. He took a step forward and sword winds formed behind him. The sword winds flew to You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang also condensed some sword winds of his own to meet Jack''s attack. The air in the wind started moving. Everyone felt a gentle breeze flying by them. This resulted from two intents shing together. The speed of the exchange was fast, the onlookers could not keep until they infused spiritual energy in their eyes. Jack unsheathed his sword and his aura changed. His eyes became sharp, as if the sword itself. This was the second stage of sword intent, Sword Heart. When a person bes one with the sword, this state is called a sword heart.


    The sword in Jack''s hand was white, emitting a cold aura. jack pointed his sword at You Xi Wang and said, "I named my sword, Typhoon." his intention was to show respect to his opponent. Swordsman would dere the name of their sword to the people whom they think are worthy opponents.


    You Xi Wang nodded and unsheathed a ck sword. The sword emitted a gloomy aura. The wielder spoke, "Purgatory." He was returning the gesture. The two people exhaled and their figures flickered. You Xi Wang used wind spiritual energy to help himself move fast. Jack was also a wind elemental practitioner. He also infused his muscles with spiritual energy.


    CLANG!


    The metallic sound echoed in the arena. The two people smiled. You Xi Wang felt a sharp wind shing at him when they exchanged blows. He closed his eyes and entered a state of deep focus. When he opened his eyes, the aura changed. His eyes were shining like the starry sky. He treated two steps and called in a low voice, "Dance of the Pheonix."


    Next moment he shed out, under the gaze of the thousands of onlookers his sword moved towards Jack. Thetter weed this move with his own counter, "Snow Sword, ke stabs."


    Jack continuously stabbed while You Xi Wang gracefully parried all the oing attacks. Jack''s face changed. This was his ultimate move. When using this move he could stab fifty times in a minute, yet You Xi Wang parried or avoided it all by using his wrist to turn his sword in all directions and moving his body as if a dance. The opponent did not give him a chance to reminisce. He heard a calm voice say, "Descent of the Pheonix"


    You Xi Wang raised his hand diagonally and his body moved like a spin top and the ck de came chopping on Jack''s neck. The speed was very quick, Jack could not even raise his sword to block the move. He spoke, "I concede."


    William was shocked, it was only now that he understood why did the elders appointed this boy as the captain of the team. He announced, "You Xi Wang advances." following these words, You Xi Wang retracted the sword. Jack wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He smiled and said, "You are strong. Good fight."


    You Xi Wang stretched out his hand and said, "You are strong too."


    Jack shook hands with him with no scruples. He retracted his hand and descended the stage. The crowd apuded and cheers sounded for You Xi Wang''s name. The whole first year was chanting his name.


    "MAESTRO, MAESTRO, MAESTRO."


    It was unknown who spoke first, but when hundreds of people cheered together the momentum was very exciting. Orion had an ugly face. He stepped out and said, "I will make them forget who the maestro is." the people of the Paul family were verypetitive. His voice was enough to dampen the spirits of the people. They all shared the opinion that defeating students in senior grade was a good this.


    You Xi Wang replied to him with a calm face, "I will fight with my fists. Ick control, so don''t me me if too many of your bone break."


    "We will see," Orion replied with a snort. Neo in the crowd already called his family. He spoke, "Big Uncle, your boys picked on You Xi Wang."


    The elders in his family were grateful for the blood shackle fruit they have received from You Xi Wang, when his uncle heard this he sighed and spoke, "Neo, did the You Family express any displeasure?" he thought his nephew called him because the you family was angry.


    Neo shook his head and told him how one brother showed his indecent thoughts for You Zhichi in front of You Xi Wang and now the second was proiming to make people forget about him. The man on the phone said, "So, what extent will the damage be?"


    Neo said, "These two might spend some days in the hospital to mend broken bones."


    The man sucked in a cold breath and said, "Well, until the older generation intervenes it''s okay."


    Fennyughed after the call disconnected, "This will be fun kitty boy."


    The other two people shook their heads, they wondered why these two had to wake up the dragon. On the stage, William spoke, "Begin."


    You Xi Wang moved with the spiritual energy infused in his muscles. He swung his right hand from the left to right in a backhand p. Orion parried it easily with arrogance in his eyes. next moment he choked because when the backhand p came it covered his eyes and he did not see the left fist was also following and struck his chin. The punch was so strong that his jaw dislocated with a click. Now he could not admit defeat even if he wanted to. You Xi Wang moved fast. He moved his right hand and coiled around Orion''s right wrist like a snake.


    Orion felt a chill in his heart and raised his knee to kick You Xi Wang but thetter moved to the side, cleanly avoiding it. You Xi Wang twisted his hand abruptly and people only heard a clicking sound. Orion let out a muffled wail. His hand was broken in three or four ces. Aries yelled, "You Xi Wang, stop, I will kill you."


    You Xi Wang looked at him and said, "Come, I will show you that death is much better than life." the chill in his voice made people remember how he dealt with Zack a few days ago. They felt bad for the two brothers, but then again who asked them to wake up the demon. The onught on the stage continued, regardless. The screams rang out, William wanted to intervene but when he saw that You Xi Wang avoided vitals and did not have any intention to kill the opponent, he stopped himself.


    Punches and kicksnded on Orion''s body, leading to broken bones. After fifteen minutes of torture, he fell on the stage fainted. William Trevor spoke with a sigh, "Take him to the hospital."


    The arena was silent, the people were still recalling how many clicks they heard to predict how many bones did You Xi Wang break off that unlucky guy. You Xi Wang was also injured, but it was just some bruises he suffered under the desperate struggle. Aries had his face flushed at this moment and he was shivering in anger. He turned to You Zhichi and said, "I will break your brother for you to pick up. Zhichi."


    You Zhichi had not even replied when a cold voice sounded, "Hey pig, is Zhichi a name you can take? Come, kill me if you have the guts. I swear in the name of heavens, that if you kill me today, no one will me you." lightning shed in the sky.

 Chapter 121: Hot Chocolate.

    Chapter 121: Hot Chocte.


    The lightning sh in the sky, You Zhichi looked at her brother, who just made another life and death oath. She wanted to kick him inside the punishment hall, but she knew that it won''t have any effect. He will offend anyone for her, and in all honesty, she herself was offended when the people saw her as a beautified vase made of porcin. This Aries person, whom she did not even know, told her he would break her treasured brother. This statement made the ice beauty burn in anger. She spoke in a soft voice, "Gougou, make him roll away."


    You Xi Wang was originally worried about his oath, but when he heard these words he was pumped up. At this moment, he could even fight the gods in heaven. Aries was so enraged that his entire face was shivering as if the muscles are having an earthquake. He took arge stride to the battle area. He wanted to speak but You Xi Wang interrupted him, "Shh... use your blows to talk."


    "Humph," Aries only snorted.


    William shook his head. Even if this is the modern time martial artists all felt they were superior until they face an obstacle. He gestured, and the battle began.


    Aries moved in a flicker and punched his right fist at You Xi Wang, who was ready to intercept. Aries did not hold back at all. You Xi Wang also did not hold back. He wanted to beat this guy so bad.


    BOOM!


    A loud sound erupted from the two of them. Aries was on par with You Xi Wang. They exchanged blows and after ten exchanges You Xi Wang suddenly opened his fist and grabbed Aries from his wrist. In his right hand, he held Aries''s wrist, and in his left hand appeared a dagger. He held the dagger with a backhand grip. He stabbed the five times in a second. Aries had not even had the time to react when he suddenly heard a ripping sound.


    You Xi Wang stabbed the dagger along the arm''s length from wrist to shoulder and after thest stab, he did not take the dagger out but dragged it done connecting all the stab marks forming a pattern like a blood worm. He carefully avoided the tendons and ligaments. The muscle fiber was torn by the dagger drag producing a ripping sound. This all was done in a second. You Xi Wang took back the dagger and retreated. It was only now the pain transmitted to Aries''s brain, and he screamed in pain, "Argh..."


    The crowd heard the scream and felt a chill growing inside their hearts. Some people saw this and trembled. The scene was too gory. William saw this and realized that You Xi Wang was still calm, he just wanted to leave a shadow in Aries''s mind and nothing else. Aries was also a man of will and rushed to You Xi Wang. He made a kick directly to You Xi Wang''s chest. Thetter caught the leg and stabbed the dagger. Then another ripping sound was heard, followed by a scream. You Xi Wang frowned and hit Aries throat with the hilt, making him choke a bit and the screams ended.


    Aries was still standing on the stage. He red at You Xi Wang. He suddenly closed his eyes and in a slightly hoarse voice said, "You are cruel."


    You Xi Wang did not exin and said, "You should have thought that before disrespecting me and my sister." with these words he appeared next to Aries and started punching him. the punches were like meteors falling from the sky andnding directly on his face. Blood flowers bloomed and teeth flew out. After five minutes, You Xi Wang said, "You better roll out of here. Or do you want more beating?"


    Aries did not have any strength in himself, directly crawled out. William watched this and eximed in his heart, "Damn.. this kid is sassy."


    He spoke, "You Xi Wang advance. He will now face the final contender and the strongest student of the school, You Zhichi."


    You Zhichi walked forward. She bowed slightly to Willian, causing thetter to smile a bit. Willian nodded and said, "Begin."


    You Xi Wang had a solemn face about this fight but he saw his sister smiling at him. She spoke, "Come, let''s dance."


    You Xi Wang couldn''t help but chuckle a bit. He took out his jade gloves and said, "Let''s dance."


    They both disappeared and the next moment the entire stadium was vibrating with booming sounds. You Zhichi used palms and You Xi Wang used fists. The two did not hold back even a second, it was more like a spar. You Xi Wang was gradually enjoying the duel with his sister. After hundreds of exchanges, they both jumped back to create a distance between them. You Xi Wang waited for his sister to make a move. You Zhichi spoke, "Not bad brat, but I will use my sword." without waiting for a reply, she took out a sword and infused her ice attribute energy in it. The whole atmosphere turned cold.


    Some students in the crowd spoke, "Senior sister, is not going easy on her brother at all. Damn, this is getting exciting."


    Another guy said, "It is precisely because it is her brother that senior sister is doing her best. This makes her different from us."


    A girl from the seventh grade was also standing there. She chuckled and said, "This junior brother, big sister Zhichi, is doing this because she wants to push her brother to act seriously. Did you think this guy was serious for even one match? The hardest he fought until now was against that boy Jack."


    This statement made them realize that You Zhichi was trying to see how strong her brother was. They all sighed, genius could never fit in normal standards.


    On the stage, You Xi Wang tilted his hand and said, "Big Sis, One move to decide? Then the winner treats with ice cream?"


    Thousands of jaw dropped collectively. Some people even pinched themselves. How could they believe that this handsome demon would ask for an ice cream treat? He looked very adorable with his head tilted and an innocent facial expression. Some girls even shouted obscene things like, "Little brother, eat this big sister, she is no less tasty than ice cream."


    Fenny wasughing while she clutched her stomach, and Yuki''s forehead was full of ck lines. Neo and An gave each other a wry smile. They can never predict what would this guy do.


    You Zhichi on the stage said, "Only if you hit me with all you have." she smiled faintly. She did not want to fight with her brother too long as well. She just wanted to see his full strength. You Xi Wang nodded and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, a spear appeared in his hands and the wind started revolving violently. His eyes were calm, vacant expression. William was startled. This was the first time he saw this kid in such a state. He was startled because he could not sense what his next action would be. He sucked in a cold breath and thought, "Damn this young generation."


    You Zhichi raised her sword to her eye level, and the tip was pointed straight at You Xi Wang. The boy raised his spear, held it horizontally, and pointed the tip at his sister. There was not a shred of hesitation in the eyes of the two. You Zhichi focused and a big ice sword appeared above her head. The sword was exactly the same as the sword she held, and it emitted a blue glow. The giant sword made the crowd hold their breath. They could only imagine the strength of this sword. The temperature was freezing, people could see their breath as they exhaled.


    You Xi Wang also focused, and above his head, a spear appeared. The spear was not as detailed as You Zhichi''s sword, but they could with the strength hidden inside. They both inhaled and moved at the same time. You Zhichi let out a soft shout, "Stab of the Ice goddess."


    You Xi Wang also called out, "Piercing the heavens" this was a move he came up with, this move contained the momentum equal to the dance of the ward god. But instead of a set of movements, it was a stab.


    SHING!


    The crowd heard a sharp sound and covered their ears as the two weapons came in contact with each other. In the sky, the two giant weapons also grinding against each other. The wind spear chipped at the ice sword, while the ice sword made the air heavy and disperse slowly. The whole arena was slowly filled with sharp snow chips. The students all used spiritual energy barriers to resist being scratched by the chips.


    The crowd could not see what happened on the stage and who won. William was very curious but could only wait for the fog to dissipate. The wind spear and the ice sword slowly vanished, and the fog also vanished. The people saw You Xi Wang was covered in frost while You Zhichi was standing, and behind her was a big ditch. It was caused by the attack You Xi Wang made. They were all shocked and then the shock changed into confusion about how You Zhichi avoided such a terrifying attack.


    You Zhichi put her sword back in the sheath waved her hand dispersing the frost on You Xi Wang and she said, "I admit defeat."


    Before William could speak Misty who was sitting on the side spoke up, "Senior sister, you won, then why did you concede?"


    Her words were followed by the crowd and soon chants sounded, "WHY? WHY? WHY?"


    You Zhichi smiled and raised her hand. They all calmed down. She is not the school flower, but Goddess. She spoke in a soft voice, "I lost because this little brother of mine deliberately missed his attack, otherwise I might be hanging from the tip of his spear."


    Everyone was still confused, William had no choice but to step in, "Yes, it is as she said, You Xi Wang deviated the tip of his spear when they were about to meet. The spear intent You Xi Wang disyed was so sharp that it left a 3 inches deep grove on the tform. I now announce, You Xi Wang as the captain of the battle fest team. You can challenge him after you are through with the internal selections. But for now, his strength is enough and justified."


    The first-grade students joined up loud chants echoed, "MAESTRO, MAESTRO, MAESTRO."


    The subject of the chants was shivering in the embrace of his sister at this moment, who led him down. He spoke, "Forget ice cream, I want hot chocte."


    You Zhichi giggled and said, "Okay, you big baby."

 Chapter 122: Race.

    Chapter 122: Race.


    You Xi Wang was shivering slightly as he walked to the shower room to change his clothes. He circted the fire elemental spiritual energy. He moaned in pleasure as the warmth spread through his body. He could have done that earlier, but for the sake of keeping the secret, he did not. He changed his clothes, washed his face, and tied his hair. Maya was left with his friends before thepetition. He walked out of the shower room and found that Neo was only waiting for him. Neo looked fidgety.


    Neo saw his friending out of the shower room, so he greeted him. He spoke, "Good fight, but there is an issue." with a wry smile on his face. You Xi Wang understood that it might be because of the Paul family. He nodded, signaling Neo to continue speaking. Neo spoke, "The elders of the family want to meet with you. Some people are unreconciled with the way you dealt with Orion and Aries."


    You Xi Wang pondered and said, "When do they want me to meet?"


    Neo spoke, "In the evening."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Tell them, I wille with my grandaunt and first grandpa."


    Neo understood You Xi Wang was bringing the two elders because he felt insecure. He spoke, "Bro Wang, I tried my best and even my father spoke in your favor, but it''s just that my big aunt has an influence on the family and pushed this matter. I am ashamed."


    You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile and replied, "Why are you ashamed? It is not your fault. It is just some shameless people who need to be cleaned up. Wait for me to mop the floor with them tonight." He punched Neo''s shoulder slightly. Thetter rxed when he saw that his friend did not alienate him. You Xi Wang walked with him to gather with the others. The five people got together. Yuki came to You Xi Wang''s side and grabbed his hand. The students in the area saw this and they could not help but feel envious of this golden boy and jade girl couple.


    Fenny spoke while patting You Xi Wang''s shoulder, "Baby Wang, you have done a good job. I liked how you broke the stars. " she giggled.


    An flicked Fenny on her forehead and spoke in like an elderly man, "Lassie, don''t encourage him. Neo is in a bind because of this." he paused and turned to You Xi Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, you need to control your impulse."


    You Xi Wang and Fenny, who was covering her forehead, nodded like chick peck grains and spoke in unison, "Yes, big brother."


    Yuki couldn''t help but giggle. An always said he wanted to break his big brother image, but his cautious nature made him the big brother, anyway.


    Snow and You Zhichi walked over to gather with the group. You Zhichi spoke, "Bro, we need to go home something came up. Grandpa called in for the elder council. Snow is alsoing with us."


    You Xi Wang nodded and beckoned at Maya, who was sitting on the floor with her siblings. He bid farewell to his friends and stole a kiss from Yuki when she turned her head to him then he ran away leaving a blushing Yuki standing behind. You Zhichi also said goodbye to his friends and left with Snow. Robert was waiting for them in the parking area already. Turned out the You Zhichi called him over as three people can not ride on a lev-bike. You Zhichi and Snow sat in the Mag-lev while You Xi Wang rode his lev bike with Maya is a sling.


    He spoke to Maya, "Maya, want to ride fast?"


    Maya understood his intention and nodded her head as if h she was a human. You Xi Wang scratched her forehead and started the lev bike. Robert was already ahead of him by some distance. You Xi Wang turned the throttle, and the vehicle zoomed. In a blink of an eye, he reached the Mag-lev and spoke to Robert with gestures. Robert asked You Zhichi, "Young Miss, You master is asking me for a race to home."


    You Zhichi spoke with a smile, "It''s okay Uncle Robert, this brat won me today so he is high on that help me tame him a bit." she fastened her seatbelt. Snow also fastened her seat belt and asked, "Senior sister, how can you still be in the mood to have fun?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "My mother used to say when you are worried, go y because when you treat situations as a game. You can win with ease."


    Snow thought for a bit and nodded. She did not speak again. Robert nodded to You Xi Wang, who was putting on a helmet. They reached a pedestrian crossing and stopped, waited for the signal to turn green. Just as the signal turned green You Xi Wang turned the throttle and Robert floored the pedal. The two vehicles zoomed at a high speed. You Xi Wang easily took the lead as the vehicle had a high pickup and speed. Robert was also not that far behind him. He was an experienced driver and maneuvered the vehicle with ease.


    The mag-lev over took You Xi Wang when a sharp turn came. Robert formed a glide drift in the mag-lev. Glide drift differed greatly from drifts, as the vehicle here did not have wheels to grip on the road. Maglev worked on maic induction, and here cars were powered by spirit stones. The vehicles had four maic rys recing the wheels. Robert manually had to switch them on and off. This was a very dangerous thing, and one slight error can cause an ident. You Xi Wang did not expect this to happen. His memory may be synced, but it was not like he was the old You Xi Wang who would remember these things by heart.


    He recalled how Robert was a ferocious driver and a smirk emerged on his face. He sped up again and overtook Robert. You Zhichi spoke, "This kid, does he not understand that consistent technique always wins over burst speed?"


    Robert said, "Young Miss, I feel Young Master is up to something." just as he was speaking he saw a right turn ahead. He increased his speed a bit to perform a glide drift and overtake You Xi Wang from the inside. But You Xi Wang did not slow down. To the shock of the three people, this boy actually stood on the right side of the Lev-Bike and tilted the whole bike to the right. The bike turned perfectly. Robert did a glide drift, but his eyes were wide open. You Zhichi saw the bike turn and her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. She spoke, "This brat became a daredevil."


    Snow also nodded in affirmation. They did not expect You Xi Wang to do something like this. You Xi Wang who was on the bike wasughing. He felt so good when he just did this. To him, this was very easy. The auto levitation feature of the vehicles made sure that the bike won''t crash. No wheels meant no resistance from friction. He kept performing turns like this unit until he reached home. Maya had her tongue sticking out of her mouth. She thoroughly enjoyed this wild ride just now. Though You Xi Wang will have to pay some fines, it had nothing to do with Maya.


    A few secondster Robert also arrived. You Zhichi directly jumped out and grabbed You Xi Wang''s ear and twisted it. Thetter cried, "Argh... big sis. I admit defeat. I admit defeat. Holy maiden, spare this poor boy. OH, MY EAR IS COMING OFF." his exaggerated acting made You Zhichi smile, it was like flowers blooming. She let go of his ear and said, "Come, grandpa is waiting for us."


    You Xi Wang held her pinky finger and walked to the gathering hall. This was a subconscious action of his. When he was a kid, he used to hold his mother''s finger like this. You Zhichi was surprised but did not stop him. She felt a certain warmth in her heart. In the video message, her parents left to her, Chen Limao asked her to take on the role of You Xi Wang''s mother. The previous You Xi Wang was a greenhouse flower. He got punished for mistakes, but the treatment was that of a prince. You Zhichi did not expect him to still subconsciously show this child-like habit of his. They arrived at the gathering hall. You Xi Wang sat down on the Master''s throne and greeted the elders. You Zhichi sat beside him while Snow sat near You Naixin.


    You Ziyou stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, we have found out the whereabouts of Dr. Wistrom and his wife."


    His words hit Snow like a bolt of lightning. She stood up and asked hurriedly, "Elder, where are my parents, how are they? Please tell me. I will go there as soon as possible,"


    You Ziyou spoke, "Child, calm down first. Haste makes waste."


    His calm voice made Snow calm down a bit, but the urgency in her eyes was the same.


    You Ziyou spoke, "We capture a minion from the Seedling Inc. after interrogating him we discovered that Dr. Wistrom is kept in a hideout of the death sect to perform some experiments. His wife is also kept there. They are fine for the time but the minion spoke, that he was only given three days to aplish their demands or..."


    Snow trembled a bit. You Xi Wang pondered and spoke, "How much time do we have?"


    You Ziyou replied, "ording to that minion, the deadline was given a day before we nabbed him. It means, we have till tomorrow."


    You Xi Wang asked again, "Do we know what is the strength of the people keeping them?"


    You Ziyou spoke, "One Primal Soul realm, three core formations, and 10 spirit formation cultivators."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Call the elite in the family. Grandpa, you and Granny Xin will take on one core formation dweller each, leave the third one to me. As for that primal soul realm, Big sis call aunty, we need her help. Also, you are to retreat as soon as you are done dealing with spiritual formation practitioners. Granny, you are to call Big brother Shan Wang, Tong, Smith, and other core formation cultivators of the family. They will act as protectors for the young generation and intervene if something goes wrong. The young will gain experience and the old will act responsibly."


    The elders nodded in approval of this n. You Xi Wang spoke, "Okay, arrange this and Grandpa, you and Grannye with me to the Paul family. We have to deal with some people before we act against the death sect. Also, scout the location to make sure there is not secondary surveince in the area. This will make sure that these scum don''t get to backtrack to us. The council is adjourned. Let''s show these bastards, the result to mess with our friends and family,"


    "Glory to the You Family" the elders spoke in unison and left the hall to make preparations as asked. You Xi Wang walked down the throne and spoke to Snow, "You want toe with us to rescue them?"


    Snow nodded rigorously but You Xi Wang spoke, "Sorry, but if you cannot learn to calm down, then you will not only die yourself but also cause the death of others." he did not wait for her reply and walked towards the exit.


    Snow was is a stupor at his refusal. She turned and spoke, "You Xi Wang, I promise. I will follow all your instructions, please take me along." her tone was calm.


    You Xi Wang nced at her and when he found that her eyes have calmed down he nodded and left the gathering hall. The situation was now a race to rescue her parents.

 Chapter 123: Domineering.

    Chapter 123: Domineering.


    The whole You Family was busy preparing for the action. You Xi Wang called Ushijima Choma after he left the gathering hall. The call connected, Ushijima Choma greeted him with a smile and said, "You Xi Wang, what makes you call your mother-inw." she has approved of You Xi Wang''s rtionship with Yuki and regarded him as a family member already. You Xi Wang was embarrassed and spoke, "Mum, we found a hideout of dark dwellers. They have two hostages. The family will take action. So can you and dad provide us support? They have a primal soul cultivator. Although I have asked my aunt toe, it would be better to have you two along. If that person had a hole card then it might be troublesome."


    Ushijima Choma was surprised and then asked, "What sect are they from?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Death Sect."


    Ushijima Choma replied, "Kinben is out to do something for the council. I will call your second mother-inw. We both wille to your ce and then act together with your family. Okay?"


    You Xi Wang naturally agreed. The second Mother-inw Ushijima Choma mentioned was Cam Watson. She was now an active member of the council and had recovered from her injuries. You Xi Wang talked to Ushijima Choma for a few minutes and came to his room. He was pissed by the attitude of the Paul family, so subconsciously picked up a ck shirt and a ck pant. He wore ck leather masins, hair was tied in a topknot. He walked out of his room to gather with his grandpa and grandaunt. You Naixin was wearing a ck-red robe with a ck and red phoenix hairpin in her hair. As for You Ziyou, he also sported a ck suit.


    You Zhichi came to see them off, and said, "Grandpa, you need to take control or this brat will fly off handle and might beat them in their house."


    You Ziyou patted her head with a smile and nodded. He sat in the car driven by Robert. You Xi Wang sat shotgun, and You Naixin sat with her brother in the back. The maglev moved and You Xi Wang spoke, "Grandpa, you let me handle this. We don''t need to be taking their shit."


    You Ziyou spoke, "I know that Xiao Wang, but at least listen to them first."


    You Xi Wang wanted to retort but then You Naixin spoke, "If they make too much noise, Xiao Wang is free to do things his way."


    You Ziyou was about to say something but his eyes met a fierce gaze of You Naixin. They already know what happened in the challenge in the morning and if You Ziyou spoke anything more, then he will be beaten by this angry tigress. He could only close his mouth and shake his head in helplessness. Now only did he understand why his grandson asked him toe when he already had You Naixin. It is because You Ziyou is a calm person and everyone gives him respect.


    You Xi Wang was satisfied when he heard the words spoken by his grandaunt. He used his soul energy and spoke in her mind, "You are the best Granny."


    You Naixin shed a warm smile in the back. The vehicle arrived at the entrance of the Paul Family residence in half an hour. The vehicle stopped at the entrance and a guard came to the driver''s seat window and asked, "Sir, may I know who you are?"


    Robert rolled down the window and spoke, "The master of You Family is here on the invitation by your family. Ask them." his tone was freezing. Robert waspletely loyal to You Family. He was warm to the family and cold to the outsiders. The guard heard it and hurriedly apologized spoke, "Sorry for the mistake, sir. We were told early to let you in." he was afraid they mightin to the higher members.


    Robert eased up a bit, "It''s fine, you are just doing your job."


    The guard nodded in gratitude and opened the gate for them to enter. Robert led the car to the guest parking area. You Xi Wang spoke, "Neo will be here to take us in."


    He opened the door and alighted the vehicle. He opened the door for You Naixin, while Robert opened the door for You Ziyou. You Xi Wang stretched his arm towards his granny. You Naixin spoke with a smile, "Howe our Xiao Wang is acting like a gentleman?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I am always a gentleman Granny. But that''s only for young girls." he emphasized the word Young and a blue vein protruded on You Naixin''s forehead. You Xi Wang spoke, "Okay, see if you stop reacting will I prank you?"


    You Naixin spoke, "Humph, you just wait to get back home. See how I will fix you."


    You Xi Wang stuck out his tongue. Nobody could imagine that this hippy-like person is a demon if pissed off. Robert spoke to alert them, "Young Master Neo is here."


    You Xi Wang''s demeanor changed as if a switch was flipped. He saw Neo approaching them with his mother, Rivera. Neo did a knuckle bump with You Xi Wang while Rivera greeted You Naixin and You Ziyou. They then led them to the gathering hall of the Paul family. The mansion felt like an eco-friendly building from the earth. Rivera spoke as they were walking, "Elders, Xiao Wang, I apologize for this matter. Neo told me everything and the family also knows that what you did was something the two called upon themselves but the elder sister is a bit unreconciled so she called the elder council meeting."


    Neo spoke, "Yeah, You Xi Wang, I apologize." his eyes were filled with a sincere apology.


    You Xi Wang unceremoniously smacked the back of his head and said, "You apologize one more time and I am calling Big momma to teach you some sense." his tone was very casual as if nothing happened then he turned to Rivera and said, "Aunt you do not have to apologize for something a blind woman did. Rx, we are a family. Well, just you, Neo, and uncle Simon."


    Rivera chuckled at his statement, but her heart was warm. They soon reached a hall. The elders and the upper echelon of the Paul family were already there. A burly man sat on the throne. He had white hair but his physique was very strong. He moved his eyes in the entrance''s direction and saw You Xi Wang and others arrive. Just as You Xi Wang took a step inside, his warm and friendly look disappeared. He stood up in the center of the hall like a spear. His gaze was sharp as he locked eyes with the man on the throne.


    He spoke, "You Xi Wang greets the elders of Paul Family." he sped his fist with his palm. The man on the throne nodded as he approved of this and was about to speak when a cold snort came from the side.


    A woman wearing a white and blue dress came forward from behind an elder''s chair. She spoke with her finger pointed at You Xi Wang, "How dare you, a brat disrespect our family master? Did your You Family not know manners of greeting an elder?"


    You Xi Wang looked at her with cold eyes but did not react. You Ziyou spoke, "You seem to be the firstdy of the Paul Family, wife to first master, right?"


    The woman said, "Yes. So what?" her voice was not respectful. You Ziyou shook his head and said, "You Xi Wang is the family master of our You Family and this identity does not allow him to bow to others, except for his parents and master."


    The woman spoke with a scornful look, "Humph, a mere boy is equal to our family master? Maybe his father was, but unfortunately, he died along with his wife." her words made the whole Paul family shocked. They knew this woman was impulsive and rude, but this statement would only make things difficult. You Ziyou''s face turned cold, and he was about to retort, but then You Xi Wang shook his head to him. You Xi Wang was now calm. You Naixin also saw this and swallowed her rage.


    The paul family master could not watch it anymore and said, "Aureum, quiet. Let us talk."


    Thedy had golden hair and was named after the color. She was a golden fur fox. This species of beasts was very cunning and wild by nature. You Xi Wang spoke in a calm voice, "It''s okay, elder Paul, let herplete."


    The woman saw this as an opportunity and spoke, "Yes, father-inw, are we afraid of this boy and his family? How dare he hurt my children? Is it that big of a deal to imagine about his sister? Humph, a maiden? Going by his violent reaction, I wonder if these siblings have done something sinful."


    The whole hall descended into silence, You Ziyou and You Naixin were shocked to see that a woman could speak so vulgarly. They both nced at You Xi Wang, who was looking as calm as a cucumber. They were worried about what he would do. You Ziyou did not speak anymore. He was a peace-loving man, but that did not mean anyone cane and trample the dignity of his family. The woman saw the three people did not speak. She smirked, thinking that she has put pressure on them.


    You Xi Wang smiled at this moment. He took a step and walked to the woman. Neo held his mother''s hand tightly, he was aware of what was about to happen. Rivera looked at him. She did not know what could make her son so anxious. The Paul family master was also looking at all this quietly. This woman was a core formation-level cultivator. She was valued in the family because she was strong enough to face an early primal soul cultivator. He was now thinking about what to do in order to defuse the situation.


    Suddenly a loud snap rang out. You Xi Wang had pped the woman in front of him. He used his soul pressure to immobilize her. He did not wait for others to say anything and kicked the inside of the woman''s knee.


    CLICK!


    This sound was followed by a wail. The woman''s knee was broken even if you are a cultivator you cannot deal with sudden pain. That also of high intensity. You Xi Wang kicked her another knee as well. The woman fell down on the floor, wailing in pain. Only now did the elders react and shouted, "Boy, how dare you act against our family member."


    Another man spoke, "What do you think you are?"


    The third man also spoke, "You think you are god? Who cane inside our home and beat our people?"


    You Xi Wang looked up at them and they fell silent under the pressure of his gaze. His gaze was so cold that it sent chills running down their spine. He spoke, "When this creature of your family was insulting my parents and sister, you did not speak a word. Is my family''s dignity less than yours? Did you treat my family''s benevolence as a weakness? If not for Neo, I would have in those fucking posers right there on the stage. Did you think that people are fools and do not know that you get the starry pupil after eating the star spirit fruit? Now if you have something to say in defense of this creature, I would take that as an action against my family, and believe me, you do not want to go to war with me."


    Neo spoke, "You Xi Wang..."


    You Xi Wang spoke to him, "Neo, if you value me as your brother, stay out of this. I spared those people because of you, but if your family is set on insulting my family. I do not mind spilling blood." his bold and tant promation shook Neo to the core. He was also disappointed with the attitude of his family.


    You Xi Wang looked at the man on the throne and spoke, "You value her because she is s strong person? Are you yourself not strong? If not, then pass the throne to someone with a spine as to not let this creature invite disaster to your family."


    The man on the throne was very ashamed when he heard these wordsing from a junior. He stood up and spoke, "I apologize to you, Young Master Wang."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I do not need your apology. I want this creature to swear on heaven that she and her sons will never scheme against my family and never will they instigate others to act. The same goes for your whole family, excluding Aunt Rivera, Neo, and Uncle Simon."


    The whole hall was silent, but the master of the family spoke, "We agree, this is our own doing. So we need to pay as well."


    Some elders spoke in denial but the family master roared, "SHUT UP, YOU GUYS STILL SUPPORT THIS WOMAN? DO YOU ALL WANT ME TO TAKE OUT MY SABER AFTER A DECADE? I DO NOT MIND CLEANING MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH THE BLOOD OF NARROW MINDED FOOLS."


    The elders who spoke in denial shivered when faced with the killing aura the master emitted. They all could only make the heavenly oaths in order to protect themselves. The whole family made the oath even to those who were not present. The old man spoke to You Xi Wang, "Young master You, your words have awakened this old man. From today, you are my, Jamison Paul''s, friend."


    You Xi Wang shook hands with him and apologized for acting brashly. The anger inside him has not yet quenched. He left the hall for You Ziyou to talk and defuse the situation. After a few hours of discussion, the atmosphere turned a bit easy. The trio from You Family returned home. This incident made the Paul family realize that the new master of the You Family does not make concessions regarding the family.

 Chapter 124: Anger.

    Chapter 124: Anger.


    You Xi Wang and the others came back home but his face did not look too good. He was filled with rage. As soon as the vehicle stopped You Xi Wang made his way to the family training field. Today it was a bit deste as people were busy preparing the action. In a corner of the training field, there was an array. It was known as the nine realm array. This array was very popr in the old days, but now people did not use it at all. They trained with VR modules, after all. Who would like to waste time and sweat when they can justy down and practice in sleep? The arrays were treated as relics of forgotten times.


    This array was ced inside a circr ring. There were nine stone puppets, each of them specialized in 9 different skills. Starting from fists, palms, kicks, staff, spear, sword, short swords, the spiritual spell caster, and soul spells. The puppets will mirror the strength one major level higher that of the practitioner who enters the array. So if You Xi Wang has a strength of the eighth level of spiritual formation. The puppet will have the strength of the eighth level of core formation. This way, practitioners were pushed to train harder.


    You Xi Wang saw a stone que was erected, this stone described the method to trigger the array and the rules of the array. After a thorough read, he understood that it takes ten low-grade spirit crystals to power up this array. He scanned his space ring and found that he had nine spirit crystals. In a world where people use credits as a currency, spirit crystals were only used for cultivation and not carried on the body. You Xi Wang searched around and found that You Fengxian was also practicing today in the field. He approached her and called out, "Big sis Xian."


    You Fengxian who was practicing her sword stopped. She smiled and spoke in a soft voice, "Xiao Wang, do you need something?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and asked, "Are you carrying some spirit stones?"


    You Fengxian scanned her space ring and took out twenty shiny crystals. She spoke, "These are fire elemental spirit stones. Will they be helpful?" she had a fire spirit root. You Xi Wang picked one and said, "I only need one." he waved at her and ran back to the array. You Fengxian''s gaze was obviously locked on this guy. She saw him putting ten spirit crystals in the slot next to the stone que. The stone puppet''s trembled and a dome of light formed around the circle. You Xi Wang took off his Holo-phone and stepped into the light dome.


    You Fengxian saw this, and she quickly informed the elders of the family. Shortly after they arrived, they could vaguely sense You Xi Wang inside the light dome. He was fighting. They instructed the juniors of the family to keep an eye on and inform them as soon as anything happens.


    ...


    Inside the array, You Xi Wang was fighting with the stone puppet expert in fist arts. You Xi Wang was angry, but he was calm. He infused his fists with all element energy and shed with the stone puppet. The stone puppet imitated a human. They looked as if baked of y. Smooth surface, no details on the face. The craftsmanship was poor, but that is because, in the old days, people focused on practice rather than appearances.


    The rules stated that only after defeating the stone puppet in its specialty can you advance. You Xi Wang was here to vent and not to study, so he let go of everything and just mindlessly punched fiercely.


    BOOM BOOM BOOM


    Loud sounds were produced when the fists collided. The puppet did not back down even an inch. You Xi Wang was also stubbornly holding his ground. After hundreds of punches, You Xi Wangpletely vented his anger. But then it clicked. In You Family, they worshipped the four ancient beasts. Azure Dragon, known for its righteousness and speed, Pheonix, known for benevolence and healing, White tiger, known for its ferociousness and tenacity. ck Turtle, known for its wisdom and defense.


    There was a skill set unique to the family, it was called, four beast manual. The first level was the minor practice of this manual required the practitioner toprehend four skills to a small sess stage. These four skills were Dragon step, Pheonix sword, Tiger Fist, Turtle shield. Dragon step is a footwork skill, You Xi Wang has already learned it long ago, Phoenix sword was also in small sess. The next step was Tiger''s fists. How do your fists be like a tiger? Harmonize a tiger (aura) into your fist. What is the tiger''s aura?


    Fearless, wild, ferocious, savage. This was the essence of the tiger. You Xi Wang kept punching and closed his eyes to imagine a tiger. After five punches, he was pushed back. He did not care but kept his eyes closed, his hands never stopped punching. Another five punches, another step back. You Xi Wang suddenly took a step back and opened his eyes. He looked at the stone puppet in front of him and gave out a low shout, "Wild Tiger fist."


    A tiger''s roar sounded in the field. It alerted the juniors who were asked to keep a watch. They hurriedly called the elders. Soon, You Qiangda and You Chengshi arrived. They hear the tiger roars and sensed that the source was You Xi Wang''s fist. They both exchanged a nce and startedughing with joy.


    A teenage girl with short hair asked, "Say, first grandpa, why are youughing like that? Is Xiao Wang okay?"


    You Qiangda pinched her nose and said, "Our Xiao Wang, is very good. The brat broke through the third obstacle of the firstyer of the family martial skill-set. You brats need to hurry and catch up to him. You all are the gems of our family."


    The girl pouted and rubbed her cheeks. She spoke, "First Grandpa, you pinched so hard, wait let me tell granny xin that you bullied me."


    You Qiangda immediately calmed down. He gave the girl a good amount of credits to coax her. These nine brothers were terrified of their sister, but that was just part of the reason, after all, they all loved the children in the family.


    You Xi Wang was practicing inside and roars kept sounding. After an hour, he sessfullynded a punch and pushed back the puppet. This was the way to defeat the stone puppet. He wanted to advance but was tired and voluntarily came out of the array. He sat down on the ground. His clothes were dripping with sweat but a smile was blooming on his face. He picked up his Holo-Phone, tied it up, and went and interrogate the minion captured by the family.


    After resting a few minutes, he stood up greeted the first and the second elder. He spoke, "First grandpa, I suggest that the family revive these arrays and let everyone practice. These arrays are much better than those toys. Also, we should try to buy a few more arrays of different types to have a better training environment for the family."


    You Qiangda spoke, "Okay, I will get someone to set up a few arrays such as this one."


    You Xi Wang nodded and asked, "Select some rtively smart candidates, and ask them if they want to learn arrays and pill making. Candidates can be selected from both the family and the foundation. It will be really helpful in the future. I think it is time to set up another business venture."


    You Chengshi asked, "What business venture is it this time, Xiao Wang?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "How about a fitness center for the cultivators."


    You Chengshi spoke, "Xiao Wang, cultivators are already better than normal humans in the aspect of fitness. Then what good would the fitness center do?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "They are fit but theyckbat experience. When dark dwellers raid they suffer because of this, so we open a fitness center with arrays like this one and help them gainbat experience. How much profit do you think we will get?"


    You Qiangda and You Chengshi felt their world view copse. They could not believe this guy was such business savvy. He coulde up with such an idea just after spending a few hours inside a battle array. They imagined the vast amount of credits rolling in. But before they could start drooling, a bucket of cold water was sshed on them by the next words.


    "The entire world is a big piece of pie and people will try to snatch it from us so people get a grip and do not fly high. Our family will rise and lead the trend in the future and for that, we need to be calm. Let''s go first to solve this seedling inc. and then we can look into this business idea." You Xi Wang spoke in a calm voice. Do not judge their age by the length of their beards, they all are sixty to fifty years old. Quite young for a cultivator. They use spiritual energy to make the hair look gray and beard grow long.


    They are quite an interesting bunch of people.

 Chapter 125: Plan Of Action.

    Chapter 125: n Of Action.


    You Qiangda took You Xi Wang to the underground prison of the family mansion. They had the prisoner transported here from Croma city overnight. They did not want to risk the prisoner to flee from confinement. You Xi Wang entered a dim-lit room, where a man sat on a chair. The man had a dense beard, his eyes were still sharp as they lingered over You Xi Wang. His hands and feet were tied by special shackles. There were some traces of blood on his dirty clothes. You Xi Wang spoke, "First Grandpa, can we have some more light in here."


    You Qiangda nodded and with a wave of his hand the intensity of the light increased. Now the prisoner and the captor both became clear to each other. You Xi Wang asked the first elder, "Who interrogated him?"


    You Qiangda answered, "It was Wusheng."


    You Xi Wang called You Wusheng with his Holo-Phone. The other party replied to be on the way. You Xi Wang in the meantime grabbed another chair and sat down on it, right across from the prisoner. He spoke, "Grandpa, how about you leave me here with this guy."


    You Qiangda spoke, "Xiao Wang, your First grandmother will y me alive if I did that. Yourst stunt in the gathering hall shocked those women. Thankfully, nothing happened or all of us brothers would have to kneel on the cactus for a decade." he chuckled, and You Xi Wang also could not help butugh.


    The prisoner was irritated, and he thought to himself, "Laugh while you can. My masters will turn this mansion into a graveyard in the morning. Then I would like to see what will you do."


    How was he to know that he was under surveince of You Xi Wang''s system?


    [Master, we have a problem.] the system''s voice rang out.


    You Xi Wang turned his attention towards it and asked, ''What happened?''


    [This fucker seems to be a soul practitioner who hid well. He has been emitting soul waves silently andmunicating with his people. They all will attack the mansion tonight.] the system spoke with urgency.


    You Xi Wang''s expression turned cold. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He instructed the system, ''Block hismunication first, scan his memories to find out how many people are there, and how is there strength?''


    [Affirmative.] the system worked. After the update, the system could hide its intrusion from the other party. It could also intercept the soul sense of other people. This guy was obviously less powerful than You Xi Wang. He focused on his soul cultivation and kept the physical practice at a low level to act as bait.


    You Xi Wang had to p for the ingenuity of this n. He turned to his grandfather and spoke, "We were yed. This scum is a bait, thrown out by the dark dwellers to lead to us. They will attack tonight. Alert everyone."


    When You Qiangda heard this, he was shocked but he asked nothing useless. He knew it was all true when he saw the shocked expression of the prisoner. He hurriedly sent messages to the other elders. They all alerted the people in the family. It was still evening they had over five hours to prepare. You Xi Wang also called everyone to be present in the main gathering hall. Soon the system was done scanning and You Xi Wang stood up from his chair. He spoke, "Thank you for your help, please help me send regards to King Yama."


    He gathered a wisp of golden spiritual energy and inserted it inside the prisoner''s body. His body was filled with dark energy, so the pain was something he could never imagine. He was refined while alive. His soul energy was alreadypletely wiped out by the system, and given the pain, he was in, how could he have time to replenish it.


    You Xi Wang left the prison cell. Just as he exited he found You Wusheng rushing to him. The person kneeled down and banged his head on the floor. He spoke, "Young Master, it is my fault. I did not expect such a deep y and led a cmity to our home. Please punish me."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Get up. Now is not the time for all this. Also, it was not your fault. How knew these sons of bitches were so intelligent. Get to the main hall and wait for your orders."


    He left before You Wusheng could even stand up. You Qiangda spoke, "Wusheng, mistakes happen, but what''s important is to learn from them. Come along now."


    You Wusheng spoke, "Yes, first uncle." and followed You Qiangda, ignoring the horrible screamsing from the prison cell. You Wusheng was the son of the third elder. Shocking? (leave yourments about this introduction.)


    ...


    Inside the gathering hall, the atmosphere was very somber. You Xi Wang sat on the throne while the elders sat on their chairs. Other members of the family stood behind the elders. They were all silent. Suddenly, You Xi Wang chuckled, shocking everyone. Before anyone could ask anything, he spoke, "Isn''t this funny. These creatures delivering themselves to us. Saves us both effort and travel time."


    Some hot-blooded young members couldn''t help but cheer some things like, "Yes, true young master." "Stupid pigs,ing to our house to get ughtered."


    They all received res from their parents and shut up. You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile and spoke, "Okay, listen up everyone. You Fengxian,e forward."


    You Fengxian came to the center of the hall. She stood tall and her eyes were burning. You Xi Wang spoke, "Although you might tear off my ear but do me this favor, big sis. You and other big sisters take the children of the house to either Tianlong technologies office or some other ce for the night. Their security is your responsibility."


    You Fengxian wanted to refute, but she heard a voice inside her mind, "Big sis, please do me this favor. I cannot think of anyone else right now." it was You Xi Wang who was asking her sincerely. Only now did she realize how much pressure he was suffering from. She nodded and left the hall after calling out to other women in the family.


    You Xi Wang spoke again, "Okay, there has been an update, We now have to face three primal souls, 15 core formations, and 30 spirit formations." the people in the hall gasped collectively. You Xi Wang spoke, "Yes, so now everyone below 8 levels spiritual formation, leave the mansion. Before you all start refusing, answer this. Do you think you can share the burden or increase it in this battle? If anyone of you suffers one scratch, the family will be aggrieved. You all are smart people, and you know that one second ofpse can lead to death. This is not a joke, so please think carefully before you answer."


    The young people who were about to refuse swallowed their words back. You Xi Wang said, "Oh,e on, stop being big babies, nothing will happen to us. Have you all seen such a good younger brother, I am now giving you all an opportunity to have a night out. Your parents won''t say anything." some young people could not help butugh at this. It was true they do not have the freedom to spend the night out until they are adults. This is to prevent them from indulging in sinful acts.


    A middle-aged woman spoke, "Xiao Wang, if your brothers came home stumbling or if your sisterse home with a bloated belly. Regardless of your status, aunt will spank your butts to a pulp." You Xi Wang hurriedly spoke in a pleading tone, "Okay for the sake of my buns, you people do nothing silly, please." the peopleughed when they saw his aggrieved look.


    He paused and said in a calm manner, "If you came home with a bloated belly, then the male responsible will lose his third leg to my sword. If you came home stumbling, then you will lose the privilege of walking for a week." he had a smile on his face, but the young people in the hall were scared. This time the middle-aged peopleughed.


    The woman who spoke earlier said, "Good boy, Xiao Wang." theughter grew louder. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Okay, leave now. We are tight on time."


    The people left the hall after greeting their parents and other elders. The hall now had over 150 people, they were all elites of the family and couples of the family. You Xi Wang spoke again, "Big brother Shan Wang, lead the other core formation realm people to form teams with spiritual formation realm cousins. Those you are close with and understand their tactics better should stay together. You deal with the spiritual level troops. Prioritize to deal with them as quickly as possible and support the others. Also, do not go in for the kill until you are a hundred percent sure. Try to use trickery and deceit because these people do not deserve the honor. Third, when you are done cleaning them up, spiritual formations retreat and you can try to support the elders. Okay?"


    You Shan Wang nodded and said, "Brat Wang, you better take care." You Xi Wang chuckled and nodded as the other party left.


    You Xi Wang looked at the elders left in the hall and spoke, "Grandpa Wanqiang, open up the treasury. Distribute the spirit restoring pills, healing pills to everyone. Do not hold back. Also, pass on the spirit weapons to them."


    The sixth elder nodded and arranged a loyal man under hismand to get things done. You Xi Wang spoke again, "The uncles and aunts are to team up and face the core formation guys. Grandmothers, you are inmand. Prioritize depleting their energy, use poisons to speed up the process. Your safety is of greater significance than killing them. Please take care, okay?"


    The first grandmother stepped to the center of the hall and spoke, "Xiao Wang, the grandmother is proud of you. We will do our best to kill them. Don''t worry, we all have our fair share of battles. None of us are vegetarians. Right sisters." other seven women stood up and spoke in unison, "Yes." They all assured You Xi Wang and left with his uncles and aunts to prepare. Now there were only elders, You Xi Wang, and his sister were left in the hall.


    Robert came to the hall and spoke, "Young Master, Lady Chen, Lady Ushijima, and Lady Watson are here. Should I lead them here?"


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. He spoke, "Okay, old boys, time to stop suppressing your cultivation base. I know all of you are strong enough to make a breakthrough to the primal soul realm in one fell swoop. Do it before the battle starts and stabilize your cultivation base. Now is not the time to grow up."


    The elders looked at each other and then at You Xi Wang in shock. Originally they were all Core Formation realm cultivators, but they converged their base and suppressed it to get a strong foundation. This was a secret only this band of brothers knew. Even their wives were told that their cultivation has regressed because of injuries umted. They all were once members of the defense forces. You Ziyou spoke, "Say brat, how did you know all this."


    You Xi Wangughed and said, "Because I am a genius." his sister giggled at this. She knew her brother could use soul sense, and uncovering this was not a problem for him. They were about to scold him when Robert came leading three beautiful women.


    You Zhichi stood up from her seat, but her brother''s figure shed and he appeared next to Chen Qianbei. He looked back at his sister with his tongue stuck out. You Zhichi also flickered and grabbed his ear. She spoke, "Huh, now tease this olddy."


    You Xi Wang acted as if he was really hurt and even wailed exaggeratedly. He spoke, "Oh, Gods in heaven, see what has happened to my sister. She called herself an olddy. I knew this would happen one day."


    You Zhichi pouted and twisted his ear, hard this time. Her brother wailed. It was real this time. After a few seconds, he begged her to let go, only then did the punishment ended. The siblings hugged Chen Qianbei, who smiled with affection. After greeting his mothers-inw (s) You Xi Wang returned to the throne and spoke, "Granny Xin, you also try to break through, or if these old boys surpass you won''t they bully you."


    You Naixin was suppressing her cultivation, and she was also aware of her brothers. She spoke, "In their dreams, you give us three hours. That time will be fine." she then spoke to her brothers, "Old coots, follow thisdy. Thest one to breakthrough is a sack of shit." they totally did not care about the twodies. Chen Qianbei was long used to this behavior as she was practically family.


    You Xi Wang told the threedies about the changes and the n of action after the elder left to breakthrough. Ushijima Choma spoke, "What will you do? I do not think, you want to give up such an opportunity." Cam was not that familiar with this son-inw of hers, so she only looked at him with curiosity. You Xi Wang smiled and spoke, "My sister and I have called over our school teams. We have our own stuff to do tonight. Don''t worry you will know."


    They discussed a bit then You Zhichi asked Robert to pick up her team members from their home. Snow was also a member of her team. They were going to make a collective breakthrough tonight before facing the dark forces.


    You Xi Wang spoke also did the same thing. He arranged for Susan to treat the wounded in the battle, and Emily was arranged for assisting Susan.


    You Xi Wang also called his master to inform him about the battle. Alester Book was shocked. He said he wille right away, but You Xi Wang stopped him by reminding him how pressure makes people grow. He wanted to use this to strengthen his family. Still, Alester Book appeared next to him said, "You fight to your heart''s content, I will be here, just in case."


    You Xi Wang could do nothing but agree and let the man sit in his room.

 Chapter 126: First Blood.

    Chapter 126: First Blood.


    The battle n was set, and now the You Family waited for the Dark Dwellers. The young generation was distributed in 16 teams of five people each. The teams were led by the young Core Formation realm talents of the team. In this stagnant world, reaching the third major realm is a good achievement. The team leaders all stood in two neat queues. They looked at the boy sitting on the throne. Some had affection and some had respect in their eyes. You Xi Wang sat on the throne with his legs crossed, wearing a ck battle suit. Maya sat beside the throne with no intention to hide from the people present.


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes and smiled at the people in front of him. He spoke, "All of you have ears?"


    The people nodded, You Xi Wang continued, "Keep it connected, we use push to talk mode. Use it to deliver messages and urgent information. Also, ask for support if you think the situation is unfavorable. Keep an eye out for the scum to use boost pills. Okay?"


    They all nodded a girl stepped forward. She had two adorable bangs covering her dusky forehead. She spoke, "Xiao Wang, although we have all read the strategy and battle formation in school I still feel nervous. I know you have faced Dark Dwellers before, can you share something with us?" this girl is one year older than You Zhichi, her name is You Alisha.


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke with a smile on his face, "Big sis Alisha, these dark dwellers are not that scary. They are just tricky. You know they rely on dark energy while we have five elements. Say if you think it is difficult to fight with them face to face. Use kiting. If you think the guy is fast, then contain him byunching some surprise attacks on his legs. Every person can be broken if you have a calm mind. Okay, tell me what is the biggest w of these dark dwellers?"


    Everyone fell into thought and You Shan Wang spoke, "These guys are as fickle as a withered leaf. You blow and they fall apart."


    You Xi Wang spoke in praise, "Correct, big bro Shan Wang is correct. So you all keep calm and tell the same to your teams. We will conquer this. Don''t worry if you think it is getting difficult. The phantoms will be your support."


    After giving them some advice and tips about the things to look out for, he sent them out. The elders were all briefed early on and they are all smart people, so it was unnecessary to tell them anything again. His Holo-Phone rang, the caller was Celestia. He connected the call, but the usually beautiful smiling face was looking at him with clouds of worry scattered all over her face.


    You Xi Wang knew this girl was worried about losing him. He smiled and said, "My little fairy, do not fret. You know your big brother is strong, right? He will beat the bad guys badly."


    Celestia calmed a bit but still said, "Big brother, Celes will wait for you and big sis chichi. Please take care okay. I love you." her eyes were red by the time she was done speaking. You Xi Wang spoke, "Sweetheart if you cry like this. Big brother won''t be able to concentrate. So please trust me and rx. I will take you to meet my grandparents after this. Okay, and I love you too." he coaxed her and finally hung up.


    The whole mansion was covered in the soul sense of Chen Qianbei, Ushijima Choma, and Cam Watson. But You Xi Wang had a range bigger than the three of them. The reason was that his soul was fused with two souls. He was the only entity who skipped steps and gained ess to the soul sense. Although soul cultivators also have this advantage, their physique is trash. Also, Alester Book was present inside the house, so he was not worried. He had asked his master to monitor the situation and if he finds anyone in mortal danger, then his master should intervene.


    ...


    You Xi Wang came to stand in the center of the training field of the mansion. This was the biggest part of the mansion and was likely to be the battlefield. Maya stood beside him silently, her ears twitching now and then. The other teams were also hiding. They were all wearing battle suits equipped with stealth skills. Yes, it was a piece of high-end equipment, but the You Family could afford them. An was to monitor the eastern part of the mansion with Shroud. Neo in the north with Luna. Yuki was in the western area with Shadow. Fenny was on the highest lookout point in the mansion with Snowke. The little white furball was quite serious today for a change. Seems like beast instincts made him realize that a storm wasing.


    Although Fenny was on the roof, she was not alone. She was guarded by You Zhichi, Snow, Tisha, Rafael, and Lina. This was the strongest team of the academy. They were asked only to take action when necessary and not before. They were emergency support. Fenny was the support and leader of all the snipers posted in the mansion. Her safety was important. She was also responsible for issuingmands if You Xi Wang is upied at the moment.


    You Xi Wang stood with his eyes closed. Suddenly he spoke, "Everyone, they are here. We take the initiative."


    His message was delivered to every team leader, and they all replied, "Roger."


    ...


    A group of people infiltrated the mansion silently. This group was wearing ck cloaks and a gloomy aura radiated from them. These were dark dwellers. They saw the mansion was scarce of lights, their eyes lit up. Thinking that the people in the mansion are asleep and they can catch them by surprise. what they did not know was that at least ten guns were trained at them at this moment. The snipers wanted to take a shot, but they were forbidden by Fenny. These shots will alert the big guys who are hiding at the moment. Yes, the three primal soul scums were hiding at this moment. They will only appear when the leading force suffers damage. They underestimated the You Family way too much.


    The minions were about to scatter and raid when the core formation realm cultivator among them spoke, "Wait, I don''t sense anyone" his words were loud enough in the silent night. The people were wrapped in the soul sense of the elders of the family. This man was the soul cultivator whomunicated with the prisoner. He was themander of the frontal forces.


    Before he could think of the reason behind why, he cannot sense anyone.


    SWISH!


    An arrow flew with a swishing sound and logged into his forehead. Every dark dweller was stunned by this sudden attack. The targeted person did not die, but he raised his hand and grasped the shaft of the arrow. Only now did a bad feeling surfaced in his heart. But it was toote.


    ZWANG!


    A mini shock grenade was equipped inside the arrowhead. When the man tried to pull out the shaft, he triggered the grenade and his head turned into pieces of meat by the shock wave inside his skull.


    You Xi Wang spoke in his, "Attack."


    The young elites and the middle-aged group started the attack. The outer part of the mansion was filled with sounds of weapon shing and shouts of people. Despite outnumbering the dark dwellers, they were not losing. The whole situation could be seen as a stalemate, but in the long run, the less experienced side will lose. To tip the scale in their favor, You Xi Wang engaged. The chain ofmand was transferred to Fenny.


    Chen Qianbei was busy keeping an eye out for the Primal soul cultivators to appear. Otherwise, it would be her instead of Fenny. Plus this battle of the core formations realms and the spiritual formations were better handled by the young generation.


    You Xi Wang saw that two spiritual formation dark dwellers were fighting with four of his cousins. The fifth member of their team was the sniper, hiding in the dark and waiting for a good shot. The fifth member spoke in Fenny''ss, "Fenny, this is the sniper of Team Five. I cannot find a good shot from this angle. The enemy will soon overwhelm the team. What to do?" he was very anxious.


    Fenny said, "Chix, You Xi Wang will handle it." she then ryed the message in a veryx manner, "Baby Wang, team five, close-range support required." a calm voice replied with only one word. Done."


    You Xi Wang moved through the field quickly and appeared near team five just when a Dark Dweller escaped the siege of his cousins and was about to attack the team captain You La, who was busy facing another dark dweller with hernce, from behind. The two responsible for holding down this guy did not even have time to warn when the dark dweller raised his razor tooth de, aiming for La''s neck.


    The man raised his de, covered in rotten blood stains, the de curved in the air forming an arc it was about half a meter away from La''s neck, the dark dweller ginned sinisterly. He thought to himself, ''Such a pretty toy will die. Pity, if only she could let me enjoy a bit before death. Oh, I miss the pleading eyes.''


    He suddenly felt his hand go numb. The guy looked at his hand and found it falling down on the ground with a dull thump. Yes, he saw it right. His hand was detached from his shoulder. It was a clean-cut made by You Xi Wang''s purgatory. Before he could even find what happened, he felt the world spinning, and he saw a headless figure as the world turned dark.


    You Xi Wang shed the second time and kill him directly by beheading him. Thest thing he saw was his own body. Fenny on the roof spoke after a whistle, "First blood."

 Chapter 127: Battle.

    Chapter 127: Battle.


    Lina was a girl who sat behind Fenny on the roof. She was also a sniper and covered her teammates, who guarded Fenny. She spoke to You Zhichi, "Zhichi, why are we asked to guard here? We are the strongest team in the academy. Is your brother looking down on us? We broke through to the core formation realm. We can also kill people."


    Before You Zhichi could reply she heard Rafael speaking, "Lina, it is not that he underestimates us. The fact is, we cannot keep up with him."


    Lina spoke, "What do you mean?"


    Rafael said, "He saved three people while we were chatting and also killed one of the dark dwellers. He treats this battle as a practice method for the people."


    Lina snorted and focus on her task, but she was unreconciled in her heart. She was about to talk to Fenny, but she just heard her guide people. Fenny spoke, "Sniper team two get ready, your team target is about to go for the kill. Disrupt him."


    Lina shifted her attention to the ground below and located a team of two people attacking a dark dweller, but the dweller was like a sneaky worm and dodged every time. He was about to break away and counter the team of two men when aser shed. With a WENG theser passed through the dweller''s arm leaving a clean hole. The dweller descended into pain and rage. But the other teammates took care of it. You Tong, the leader of team two kicked the back of the dweller''s neck, knocking him out. Two make sure this dark dweller does not make a moveter they sealed this guy perfectly and moved on to help his teammates facing the other opponent.


    These dark dwellers were as crude as it can be. They did not believe in strategy. They all loved the chaos and followed the way of chaos. They were sneaky little bitches. Always attacking when the opponent is the least ready for them. Do anything to get their goal. Their teams had teamwork existing just in name. That is why they were sessfully divided by You Family troops.


    The young core formation realm disciples of the family adapted quickly and took on the role of support. The difference between a major realm was something the dark dwellers could not deal with. So they were suppressed by the spiritual formation realm boys and girls collectively, and whenever they had they found the opportunity to counter-attack they were forced by the core formation realm individuals.


    The scale tipped in the favor of You Family. You Xi Wang nodded in satisfaction. Lina who was keenly monitoring the situation was shocked by this. She could not help but ask, "Howe I feel that these guys are gaining experience at a frightening pace, and also, how did the core formation warriors dropped back from the front and became support?"


    Fenny on her side chuckled and said, "Maestro is ying chess, Senior sister Lina. This was the strategy You Xi Wang came up with. Use the artillery to allow the infantry to have enough time to adapt, then the infantry advances while the artillery support it. The core formation is the artillery, while the spiritual formation is the infantry. Do you now understand? You have no idea how deep the mind behind this pretty face is."


    Lina was left in a stupor. The dark dwellers observing from the shadows were also surprised, they ordered the core formation realm practitioners to advance and deal with the forces of You Family. You Xi Wang sensed this movement of theirs and spoke in thems, "First grandma, you are on."


    A genial voice sounded in his ear, "Very well, dear." Xia Xue was the person who replied to him. She was the only wife of the first elder of the family You Qiangda. She was addressed as the first grandma by every young grandchild of hers, even her own grandchildren would call her first grandma. She was in charge of the Elite core formation team of the family. This team contained people who were at least mid-level core formation. These guys were also hidden by both the stealth suit and soul energy from the elders and the threedies.


    The Dark Dwellers of the primal soul realm also felt some faint soul energies lingering in the mansion, but they just sneered at them. They were all at the peak of the realm and were not afraid of some newbie primal soul cultivators. Theymanded their subordinates to advance.


    The core formation realm Dark Dwellers rushed towards the mansion quickly. They all loved killing people. They were all looking at the young generation of You family as if roasted chicken. But their drool was sent back to their filthy stomachs by the You family snipers. The bullets andsers whizzed past them, leaving wounds. This time the guns were wielded by core formation cultivators. In metropia the same weapon used by a higher level cultivator would produce a higher damage effect to that of a lower-level person.


    A core formation-level cultivator can st up an enemy in the same realm, but a spirit formation realm cultivator cannot do that. The secret lies in the difference in the quality of the spiritual energy transferred through the weapon. This wave of shots left some core formations to be wounded badly, but it was nothing that a healing pill can not fix.


    One man was standing ten meters away from Xia Xue he took a healing pill and recovered from a wound that left a hole in his torso. He grinned sinisterly and rushed towards Xia Xue. Thedy saw this, but she stood there unmoved, and just as the man took a step in her range all he saw was a bright orange-red ropetching itself to his neck. Before the pain could register, his head was cut off from his body. The flesh was cut clean by the fire whip as if a hot knife passing through butter. The rest of the people in the You Family team were in high spirits and met with the dark dwellers with much confidence.


    One of the Dark Dwellers was fighting with You Shan Wang''s mother, Jiang Carol. He used a smoke bomb suddenly and snuck behind her. He wanted to knock her down and take her hostage. He saw a woman in front of him. He took out a knife from his sleeve and quickly put the de on the woman''s nape before speaking, "Stop, I have taken this woman under control. If you dare attack, I will rip off her clothes."


    The others stopped attacking. The man thought that he won this battle slowly everyone in the family was beaten to death by his brothers and they were about to ravage the women when he felt a sharp pain in his throat. He shook his head but was shocked to see that he was standing behind the woman, but half of his throat was missing. He was bewildered by this and even forgot to use a healing pill for a moment. This moment of distraction cost him his life. Jiang Carol turned around and stabbed him between his brows with her long sword. When this man snuck behind her, she felt like she was about to die, but she saw Maya jumped and ripping off this man''s throat. She understood that it was Maya who helped her finish this scum.


    The battle raged on and slowly the You Family took the lead. The spirit formation cultivators finished the spirit formation dark dwellers and then supported the older people with the core formation realm people. The primal souls watching from the sides were very pissed at this situation and could not help but appear on the grounds.


    A man with white hair stood in front of the three men. He emitted a heart freezing pressure, scaring the people to take a step back. He spoke in a threatening manner, "Surrender your weapons and I might spare you a full-body to keep after you die. Also, hand over your women, they will solve the problem of entertainment for my brothers."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Granny Xin this man, I want him to be a cripple." You Naixin heard this and immediately set her eyes on the man who spoke rubbish. She said, "Hey old maggot,e let''s see if you have what to take us on."


    She flew into the sky. The man also followed her actions and they both appeared in the void, and soon the situation was chaotic. They exchanged blows and soon all the elders also joined in to beat up the man. the man was not worried but what he did not expect was the ferociousness of these people. You family elders teamed up to fight against the three primal soul realm cultivators. But after the initial impression, the situation was in a stalemate. You Xi Wang spoke in his earpiece, "Aunt, Mother-inw. Please help the elders."


    The three womenplied with the request and rushed out immediately. The three men who thought they could suppress these elders were confused and frowned. The leader spoke again, "You sneaky bastards, how dare you hide such powerful masters."


    Nobody replied but You Xi Wang spoke, "Old bitches, did you think that scum like you can stand against my family?" he paused and spoke, "Oye, you, hidden rate on out and let the world see what kind of trash you are."


    His words were right there was one more primal soul cultivator, who was hidden in the shadows. This person attacked when he heard You Xi Wang taunting him. You Xi Wang vanished and avoided the old man''s attacks.


    Heughed and said, "Come, is that all?"


    You Xi Wang also thought about this and said, "I''ll show you a thing or two. How about you face my team?"


    The man in the ck robe sneered and said, "One little puppy or more little puppies makes no difference. I will y with you."


    You Xi Wang grinned and whistled. In five seconds, Neo, An, Yuki arrived next to him. While Fenny could be seen walking leisurely. You Xi Wang face-palmed and said, "Big momma, this shit is serious."


    Fenny spoke, "It''s okay. I am here now, am I not?"


    You Xi Wang looked at her with cold eyes, Fenny shivered and hurriedly ran to the team and stood behind An. She was afraid of You Xi Wang getting angry. The boy then faced the ck-robed man and said, "Let''s dance."


    The man vanished from his spot, and so did the phantoms. They all used the spirit beast skills they shared with theirpanions. Also, the beasts stood away forming a pentagon. They all were hound beasts. If they did not move, then they will not be spotted. Their outer circle was to watch over the humans so they could inform them if the enemy approaches them from blind spots.

 Chapter 128: Awkward Ending.

    Chapter 128: Awkward Ending.


    The people around did not stop their own battles when they saw the kids vanish from the spot. On the roof, You Zhichi was a bit anxious. She wanted to help her brother but before she could act, You Xi Wang asked her to stay away, not because he doubted her strength or skill but because he might need her to attack at a crucial moment.


    You Xi Wang and the others moved using the spirit beast skills. They moved through the shadows. The primal soul cultivator could sense them a moment, but they would again vanish as soon as he would attack. He was enraged to find that he was now being yed by a kid. The man in the ck robe shifted the target for his embarrassment. He moved towards Xia Xue, who was watching over the battle. His figure flickered and just as he appeared next to Xia Xue. He raised his corpse-like pale and bony hands towards her with his fingers forming a w.


    Xia Xue was a core formation realm level cultivator and was not ready to face such a cruel sudden attack from this Dark Dweller. She raised her hand to block his w. The man grinned under the hood of his robe. His w was just a few inches away from Xia Xue. Once the wes in contact, his skill will take effect and this woman would be his puppet. Just as he was about toy his w on the Xia Xue''s arm, a bad premonition struck his heart. He could not retreat. When you cast a powerful attack, you cannot stop it midway or you will face a bacsh. His second long hesitation cost him a hand.


    SHING!


    A vibrating sound rang out in his ears and the next moment he felt his extended right hand go numb. He retreated, only to watch his right hand fall down on the ground. He did not even feel pain because the cut was so clean. The man turned and saw his whole right hand has been detached from his shoulder. There were some burn marks on the edges of the wound, it was the me poison of Purgatory. It would work slowly but surely.


    The man wailed. A hoarse voice rang out. People in the surrounding could sense the pain in this scream. All the surrounding people stopped amidst their battles. The primal soul dark dwellers fighting with the You elders cried, "Nightmare."


    They wanted to ask more, but just then they saw a bullet flying aimed straight at the man in the ck robe. He might be hurt, but he was still a high-level cultivator in this part of the world. He waved his left hand in order to stop the bullet with a sneer on his face, but how was he to know that this bullet was a facade. A spike protruded out of the ground where he stood, stabbed through his left feet. The left hand suddenly wavered because of the pain. The bullet prated his hood andnded on his face. The man gave off a muffled scream.


    The elders realized that the juniors did not stop attacking because the opponent was in pain. They woke up from the stupor and immediately attacked their respective opponents. The dark dwellers were distracted, but they sensed some attacks being cast on them, and hurriedly tried to block them. The defensive measures taken in haste were notpletely invulnerable. They could offset fifty percent of the attacks, but they still bore half the damage. Ushijima Choma spoke two words, "Frozen Horizon."


    This was her strongest attack. She raised her hand and pointed her slender finger towards the lead Dark Dweller. A blue light shed on the horizon. The targeted dark dweller was already wounded, and this strong attack was too swift. Before he could guess what happened, he felt a strong cold originating from his abdomen. He turned to gaze down on his torso. The scene left him aghast. His torso was split into two parts by a horizontal cut. The more frightening aspect was that the body started freezing at a quick pace. Before he could react, the man had turned into two ice sculptures. A dark light could be seen drilling out of the Dark Dweller''s forehead. You Naixin was aware that a primal soul could still live even after the physical body is destroyed. She made her move.


    "me Forest." her voice was calm and cold. Soon she waved her right hand towards the dark dweller. Soon shrill cries came out as the frozen dark dweller was engulfed in mes. Both thedies exchanged a nce and nodded. Ushijima Choma destroyed the physical body while You Naixin took care of the soul trying to escape. They focused their attention on the two primal soul dark dwellers. You Naixin shouted at her brothers, "You Old Men, If you did not wrap up these two then watch how I ask my sisters-inw to let you kneel on cactus, and ninth brother, your beard will be turned to ashes this time."


    The nine men shivered and their attacks became more strong. You Naixin was very good at motivating this bunch ofzy old men.


    ...


    Down on the ground, the man in the ck robe was not spared even an inch. When he was wailing because of the bullet hitting his face. Yuki appeared behind him and with no hesitations, she drew her Katana out of its sheath. The drawing sh was filled with ice elemental spiritual energy, Yuki was using the shadow walk skill she got from her wolfpanion Shadow. You cannot be sensed if you walk through shadows. The night hounds and snow hounds had the best stealth in the world. The upward sh continued with a downward sh. Both the shes were diagonal marking the back of the ck-robed man with an X. The wounds had blue light shing inside dimly.


    This was You Xi Wang''s idea, Infiltrate the man''s body with your own spiritual energy and disrupt his dark energy. Yuki retreated before the man could attack her. The ck-robed man felt cold pain from his back, making him suck in a cold breath. This kind of pain could only be defined as burning. He waved his hand and took out a healing pill. Next moment his hand froze in mid-air. Maya had unknowingly left her guard position and appeared next to the man. You Xi Wang needed to look at the man''s eyes to cast a soul spell, but Maya could do that without fulfilling this condition.


    She had cast an illusion of what the man wanted to see desperately at this moment. He saw himself eat the pill and then he cast a soul skill, killing everyone. The time flow changes inside the illusion depending on the caster. An moved at this moment, he cast a fire spell. He spoke two words in his heart, "me shower."


    He took out his heavy assault rifle and fired at the man from point-nk range. The bullets were all filled with fire spirit energy. The man in the robe could not sense all this as his brain was wrapped inside the illusion. The bulletsnded on his body, but they could not leave deadly damage. The physique of a Primal Soul realm cultivator was very strong after years of practice. An retreated as soon as the magazine of 100 bullets was emptied. Maya also returned to her position with haste. She had used all her energy. Despite being a level four beast, she was still a cub. Her body could not contain a lot of energy now. The illusion ended, causing the man to wake up. He looked around and found that the situation was still the same as before. He felt strong paining from all over his body. He screamed in pain and anger. He could not remember thest time he felt such pain and torment. But will he be given the chance to catch his breath? Only in his grave.


    Neo had earlier pierced through his feet with an earth spike, this time he just made the already stabbed through spike to grow more branches of sharp thorns. The man gritted his teeth and did not give in to pain this time easily. The healing pill in his hand had been sted off by An earlier. He lifted his foot and broke the earth spike tying him to the spot. You Xi Wang shed and attacked the man.


    He yelled in a low voice, "Piercing Dragon." all his spear intent converged into a dragon in a sh. At this moment he was pushing himself to the limit. This opponent was very dangerous. He could tip the scale of the battle in an instant. If he were to be allowed an opportunity. The spear was aimed at the man''s chest. The dragon differed from before. It was as big as a needle and it was golden. Yes, You Xi Wang used his all elemental spiritual energy and concentrated it on this attack. The man in the ck robe was startled at first, but when he saw the needle-sized dragon attacking him. He sneered and waved his w towards You Xi Wang.


    The w scratched You Xi Wang''s chest and blood spilled, but the golden dragon also pierced through the chest of the ck-robed man. The man spoke in a wobbly voice, "Humph, mutt wanted to kill me with this superficial attack. You will now be my puppet."


    His eyes shed under the hood. He tried to attack You Xi Wang with his soul. You Zhichi on the roof spoke to Lina, "Shoot that bastard." Linaplied and fired the sniper rifle. A bullet flew and in an instant appeared next to the man in the robe.


    You Zhichi had disappeared after instructing Lina. Snow followed You Zhichi. They were both Ice elemental cultivators. They held their swords, forming a cross. They both gathered all their spiritual energy in their swords. They spoke, "Dual Ice Cut."


    The man was busy trying to control You Xi Wang and deflecting the bullet. He did not expect this attack toe to his back so suddenly. he hurriedly cast a soul shield to block, but his mind was already doing three tasks at the same time. An appeared close to him and fired the gun in his hand. Neo also rushed and appeared next to him and swung his halberd down at his head. Fenny also shot three consecutive shots at him, aiming at all his vital organs. Yuki followed behind You Zhichi and Snow. The moment the sword attack by the twonded, she drew her Katana and attacked the man with her strongest attack, "Luan sh."


    The man had was already wounded and could not block this barrageing at him. He blocked sword sh, but his right side was showered with hot bullets. He tolerated this spray with his physique alone. His left shoulder was cut by Neo''s halberd. This attack was crude and left his arm hanging by a patch of flesh. Fenny''s bullet hit the man''s heart, liver, and crotch. The man was hurt beyond words. The icing on the cake, Yuki''s sh, came at his back which had apparently no protection after blocking thest attack from You Zhichi and Snow.


    Neo appeared next to You Xi Wang, who was sluggish now. You Xi Wang''s eyes cleared up as the system acted to flush out the robed man''s consciousness. He spoke, "Tell Yama, You Family sends their regards. SuperNova."


    Neo supported him and all of them fled. The man in the robe wanted to chase, but he felt his body boiling. He screamed in bewilderment, "What is going on?" he was a primal soul realm cultivator. He waspletely aware of his body conditions. He looked at the sky and screamed, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? ARGH"


    His screams were useless. The golden dragon inside him refined not only his dark energy but also his soul energy. His body started glowing and then an explosion sounded.


    BOOM.


    The man in the robe was reduced to ashes and what left was a crater of a 30-meter radius. The people were shocked by this explosion. Alester Book was monitoring it all, and he was worried about his disciple. He waved his hand and all the dark dwellers froze in the spot. Space tunnels opened behind them. A strong suction pulled them all inside. Just as they were half inside the space tunnel, the tunnels closed. Their bodies were split in two and they fell down. The whole environment was silent and awkward.

 Chapter 129: Aftermath.

    Chapter 129: Aftermath.


    The battle suddenly ended with leaving only half the bodies of the Dark Dwellers. The elders were confused as they did not understand this phenomenon. Mrs. Watson spoke, "It was just like a move of President Book. Infinite space pits."


    Ushijima Choma subconsciously nodded to show agreement. She looked at her friend and was shocked. She spoke, "Cami, could it be President Alester is here in the vicinity?"


    Cam was also lost in this situation. She shrugged her shoulders. They only put this matter aside when they heard Chen Qianbei''s voice calling out for You Xi Wang. They looked down on the ground and saw Neo standing next to You Zhichi, who was anxiously looking around as she held her brother in her arms. They hurried down, the elders followed. You Naixin was the fastest to reach the kids. The whole family gathered.


    You Xi Wang''s body was now controlled by the system his consciousness was injured. The Dark Dweller tried to control him by invading his soul sea. Although the system is strong and can prevent some damage, the opponent was two realms higher than him. The damage was significantly big this time. It may take some time to recover.


    You Naixin spoke hurriedly, grabbed his wrist, and her face changed. She spoke to Chen Qianbei, "He is inflicted with dark energy. The spiritual energy inside him is dry and cannot resist the attack."


    Chen Qianbei spoke, "How about we try to suppress it for him?"


    You Naixin spoke while shaking her head, "This will not work. His attributed elements are not something we can understand. Our attempt might make him suffer."


    You Ziyou spoke, "Did you guys feed him any healing medicine?"


    You Zhichi, who was in a stupor as she felt her brother''s faint breathing, was shocked awake to this sentence. She hurriedly took out a level five healing pill in her hand and stuffed it inside her brother''s mouth. The pill fell into his mouth and melted in an instant. The pills were made with ingredients containing high spiritual essence. As soon as the pill melted, the spiritual essence ran through You Xi Wang''s body. The system could not let this opportunity go and started circting the essence ording to the five elemental sutras.


    You Xi Wang''s body started gathering spiritual energy from the surroundings as well. During the cirction, the different attributes were gradually mixed and formed golden wisps of spiritual energy. The system issued a soul message to You Zhichi, "Take me inside, do not allow others toe near." Yes, for the first time the system spoke to someone other than You Xi Wang''s primary consciousness.


    You Zhichi spoke, "He gave me a soul message."


    Chen Qianbei asked, "What is it?"


    You Zhichi responded, "He wanted to go inside and asked for the other to not approach him."


    Everybody exchanged nces. You Qiangda spoke, "Shan Wang, pick up your brother and take him to the cultivation room used by your Uncle Liangxin and Aunty Limao. Hurry."


    You Shan Wang appeared in an instant. He bent down and slowly picked up You Xi Wang in his arms. He spoke to You Zhichi, who was looking at all this anxiously, "Xiao Chi,e along."


    Yuki spoke at this moment, "Big sis, please take Maya along with him. She is his spirit beast. She is also hurt and without his help, she will not survive. We all have equality contracts." her words made them all realize that You Xi Wang have a spirit beast. Maya was being carried in Yuki''s arms. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was faint. This time the injury affected both the physical body and soul sea.


    You Zhichi carefully took Maya in her arms. She made haste towards the cultivation room of her parents. You Shan Wang followed with You Xi Wang in his arms. The two reached the room soon. You Shan Wang waited for his cousin sister to find a mat and ce it on the floor. You Zhichi gently ced Maya in her hands on a cushion on the floor and opened a mat for You Xi Wang. You Shan Wang thenid You Xi Wang slowly on the mat. He stood up and said, "Xiao Chi, don''t worry about him. He is strong and will recover, but you need to perform the duties of the guardian. The family just finished a big battle. The aftermath is yet to be dealt with."


    You Zhichi took a deep breath and nodded. She gently kissed his unconscious brother''s forehead and whispered in his ears, "Gougou, wake up soon okay. Big sister needs her hope back to support you."


    She stood up and left the room reluctantly with You Shan Wang. While she was closing the door, her gaze was still set on her brother''s face. The door closed, and You Zhichi left to deal with the family matters.


    ...


    Inside the room, You Xi Wang''s body gathered the spiritual energy from the surroundings and refined the dark energy slowly. The void near the gate twisted and Alester Book appeared inside the room. He came to You Xi Wang''s side and spoke, "Good boy, gave master such a surprise. Thankfully, you are blessed. Your family is also good. They will surely be a pir of Metropia in the future." his voice was calm and soft. he waved his hand and took out a level nine spirit rejuvenation pill and a level nine soul-nurturing pill. He fed the boy with two pills. With his level, he could see that the soul was hurt.


    After a few moments, he nodded and stood up. The medicine started working, it was now up to You Xi Wang himself to recover. Alester Book looked towards the gathering hall and vanished from the room.


    ...


    The family and the guests were all now gathered inside the gathering hall. You Zhichi sat on her seat beside the throne while the elders sat in their chairs. The grandmothers and rtives sat behind them while the young people stood in the back. The atmosphere was very heavy. You Zhichi spoke, "The battle may have ended, but the war has just started. Today these scum dared toe and attack our home. I wonder what they will do next." her eyes were cold and domineering. She was not the princess of You Family at this moment but a general of an army. She paused and was about to speak when the void in the center of the hall twisted and an old man appeared. The elders stood up instantly while the other members also took out their weapons.


    The old man saw this and nodded with a smile on his face. Ushijima Choma and Cam Watson were shocked to the core. They hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of the old man. They both spoke in unison, "Executioner Ushijima (Watson) greets President Book." they then bent their waist a full ny degrees. The people were confused, but they did not put down their weapons. You Zhichi stood up from her seat and waved her hand as she spoke, "Junior You Zhichi has seen senior Book."


    The old man nodded and said, "Are you not going to tell them to put down the weapons?"


    You Zhichi spoke with a calm yet cold voice, "Despite the identity, anyone who enters the family gathering hall without permission is an intruder. This action is a deliberate insult to my family and my ancestors. I apologize, but we will not put down our weapons." she took out her own sword after she finished speaking these words.


    Alester Book was shocked at first, but then he startedughing out loud. After a few moments of maniacalugh he spoke, "I finally understood why my disciple has this never back down attitude. It seems to flow in the veins of your You Family. Good family. I apologize to the members of You Family for barging in in such a rude manner." he then bowed down slightly.


    The elders exchanged a nce and nodded. They had inklings about this man''s identity: asking him any further would humiliate him. You Chengxi spoke, "Sir, the grievance between us is now dissolved. Please tell us, how did our family attract your presence." a diplomatic sentence to ease up the situation.


    Alester Book nodded and said, "I am You Xi Wang''s master. My name is Alester Book, and I am the president of the educational department of the Council of Metropia. Also known as the fifth head of the Council. As for my purpose, here is to tell you all something."


    You Chengxi asked again, "Sir, please continue."


    Alester spoke in a calm voice, "I have set a defense array in the mansion. It will protect you from these raids. Also, You Xi Wang will recover, so do not worry. If possible, please do not tell anyone that You Xi Wang is my disciple because he would then attract many enemies."


    The people in the hall nodded. President Book bade them farewell and left the mansion. Ushijima Choma and Cam Watson stayed. Soon after Susan was done taking care of the wounded people, such as working staff that were working inside the mansion. She left with her mother. They did not see each other much in the past few months. The battle was over and You Family won with no casualties. You Zhichi issued a gag order about You Xi Wang''s injury and they would hold a meeting when he recovers. Ushijima Choma helped Snow to recover her parents from the ce they were kept at by the Seedling Inc. too bad they were both dead.

 Chapter 130: Wrath Of The Guardian.

    Chapter 130: Wrath Of The Guardian.


    Snow Wistrom was devastated. She stood inside the Silica City Hospital''s mortuary, watching the two dead bodies in front of her. Ushijima Choma came to her side and spoke, "Snow, theymitted suicide and this coin disk was found in your father''s hand."


    Snow nodded and said in a voice colder than ever before, "What is inside it?"


    Ushijima Choma said in a sympathetic voice, "A video message, addressed to you."


    Snow raised her trembling hand, and Ushijima Choma passed her the coin disk. The former connected the coin disk with her Holo-Phone. Soon a holographic video appeared in front of her. A couple with smiling faces were sitting in the video holding hands.


    The middle-aged man was her father, Micheal Wistrom. The middle-aged woman next to him was her mother, Sh Wistrom. The man had some gray and ck hair, a dignified face, spectacles resting on his nose. Sh Wistrom had long hair, some wrinkles on her face, but she looked beautiful. Micheal Wistrom spoke first, "Snow, if you are watching this video then it means, your parents have departed ahead of time. I know you will be devastated, but this was the only option left for me and your mother. These people are worse than scum. I have no words to exin the horrors of these people. They made me experiment on innocent human lives. I cannot describe to you how much I hate myself. They fed me a poison pill when I joined this ce without my knowledge. They provided me with an antidote every month. Then one day the manager, Jacob Stanley, sent me outside in the depths of whispering woods. There I found a pod of blood shackle tree. I secured it, but a beast attacked my team that night, killing all of them. I ran away but lost the bag with the treasure. Later I tried to find it but could not locate it. The higher-ups med me and captured me. They forced me to experiment with some synthetic nts. They wanted tobine humans and nts. The process is very horrendous. When I denied they captured your mother, but you were not found. One day, I and your mother broke out. I was afraid that these people might locate you, so I did not contact you. I used the special frequency to track the pod and found that it was recovered by You Family. I hid the secondary tracker inside the pod so they might not be aware. These people captured me and as a punishment, they cut off your mother''s tongue right in front of me." the man had tears in his eyes and Snow was also crying. She wanted to kill people right now.


    Micheal wistrom wiped his tears and spoke again, "One thing you should know is that I owe You family a life-saving grace. You Ziyou, the old master of You Family saved me from a raid of the Dark Dwellers. My parents died starving, then I was taken in by the council orphanage. One night the orphanage was attacked by a group of Dark Dwellers. Just when we fell in despair, Senior You arrived with his team and defended us. In that attack, he lost his wife. She was the teammate of his and she died saving a boy who panicked and attempted to run away. The boy was cornered by a Dark Dweller and thatdy jumped in front of the attack, sacrificing herself. The boy was me. Senior, You did not me me and silently took away thatdy''s body. You can trust You Family with your eyes closed. I heard from these people they aim to kill the young master of You Family because he is friends with you. They wanted to use us, husband and wife, as a bargaining chip. Theyid a trap to lure you all here and kill you. So I and your mother ended this torment. I know we are selfish, but I hope you forgive us, my princess."


    Snow just watched the frozen video frame in silence. Ushijima Choma was aware of the blood shackle pod and was not surprised. She said to Snow, "How about we proceed with the funeral?"


    Snow woke up from her daze, hurriedly wiped her tears. She nodded to Ushijima Choma. They arranged for the funeral to take ce tomorrow morning. Snow was escorted by Robert when they came here. Ushijima Choma asked her to go home and get some rest. The girl obviously denied it at first and wanted to stay, but Ushijima Choma talked to her as a mother. Snow was an ice demoness on the surface, but on the inside, she was a big ball of mush. After Ushijima Choma coaxed her to return to You Mansion with Robert.


    On the way back, she just sat down listlessly. Her eyes kept staring outside the window. She suddenly realized what You Zhichi and her brother would have felt when their parents passed away. She looked outside the window. The sky was turning bright. She spoke, "Mr. Robert, how did senior sister Zhichi handle it?"


    Robert was a smart man. He was aware of the meaning behind this question. He spoke in a calm voice, "She did not have the time to mourn at all."


    Snow was shocked and asked, "Why?"


    Robert replied, "Because when Young Master got the news, he fell into aa. His condition was very critical. On the other side, thepany faced attacks from rivals. Young Miss took the lead and held consecutive meeting solving thepany troubles and also took care of the funeral. She did not even visit her younger brother in the hospital once. Not because she was busy, but because she was afraid that if she saw her brother in that condition she would break and things will fall apart."


    Snow was surprised by these words. She understood that only by being calm can you achieve something. She thought of something and asked again, "How did You Xi Wang handle things then? I think Senior sister has recovered from the trauma a little now."


    Robert did not smile but his gaze changed as spoke, "Young master, woke up and the first thing he did was to visit his parents. He wailed like a child. Then he came back home and directly challenged the throne. He won the battle and only then did the two siblings expressed their grief. Young master grew strong after facing a setback."


    Snow nodded and fell into deep thought. She heard Robert speak, "May I say something?"


    She nodded, Robert spoke, "Miss, death is the ultimate truth of life. Even if you are a cultivator, you may fail in the tribtion and die. As humans, being sad over losing someone important to you is also normal. Expressing emotions does not make you weak. So I suggest that you let the emotions flow, and not let them overpower you and be a heart knot. I apologize if I said anything insensitive."


    Snow shook her head and said, "Thank you."


    The girl understood a lot of things after hearing what Robert said. She wanted to avenge her parents, but if she left the hatred control her, she would be what she hated. She closed her eyes and let the restraint go. Tears fell down her face. Robert offered her a tissue box. As they reached the mansion, Snow wiped her face and thanked Robert for his advice. She walked inside but suddenly stopped. She didn''t know where to go. At this moment You Zhichi came to her side, sensing the hesitation inside thetter. She gave her a hug.


    You Zhichi spoke in her ear, "You are family, do not worry. This is also your house starting today, Okay?"


    Snow felt warm in her heart, raised her arms, and broke into tears while embracing her friend. The two girls just stood there, one crying and one consoling. After half an hour, Snow gradually calmed down and the sun rose from at the horizon. You Zhichi led the girl inside and arrange for her to rest before the funeral. She made her way to the cultivation room of her parents. She poked open the door and saw her brother was covered with a dim golden light. Maya was also basking in the glow emitted from him. She wanted to approach her brother but resisted and decisively walked back.


    She called the elders to the gathering hall. She sat down in her chair and waited for the elders to arrive. After a few moments, the elders arrived. You Zhichi spoke, "This time, these insects have crossed the bottom line. How dare they cause harm to our family and our kin? First grandpa, please call back all the cousins. Tell them to escort the children and the elder sisters back home safely." her voice was cold. She was very angry, unlike her usual temperament. She took a deep breath to force her rage down.


    You Qiangda nodded and sent out a mass message to the young one of the family. You Zhichi spoke again, "Granny Xin, activate the intelligencework and assassination squad. I want the dark dwellers on that staircase to experience fear. Before Gougou wakes up, I want to clean the field. Also, do things cautiously, leave no traces of involvement. The master of the family will deal with the rest when he wakes up."


    The elders nodded. This time You Zhichi acted strong, as a guardian should do. You family selected a master based on their strength, and a guardian based on their wisdom, decisiveness, and loyalty. You Zhichi was the best candidate and was already a candidate before her parents died. This time the guardian has taken out the sword, and she intended to teach the dark side a lesson.

 Chapter 131: Harsh Awakening.

    Chapter 131: Harsh Awakening.


    Inside the cultivation room, You Xi Wang''s body was continuously healing. The golden glow emitted from him gradually grew stronger and it looked as if he was wrapped up in a golden cocoon. Maya has somewhat healed and was conscious on the second day itself. She moved closer to You Xi Wang. She would open her eyes to check up every now and then. The only reason she could wake up was that the system first stabilized her. The two beings were connected with a bond of life and death. So stabilizing one would help the other recover faster too. The injuries Maya suffered were spiritual and not physical.


    Maya was aware of this and even though she was a beast she was intelligent. Her eyes were filled with concern and warmth whenever she looked at You Xi Wang. One boy and one beast kept healing inside the room in silence. You Zhichi told everyone not to disturb them and asked some people to guard the room just in case. Celestia returned with You Fengxian and the rest. Everyone asked about You Xi Wang when they did not find him. The elders gave them some excuses such as gone out for urgent work or something.


    The children of the family, who were supposed to be gullible and naive, sensed something fishy and they got things out of You Naixin. They did something very cruel to her. The next day they all gathered in the learning hall. You Naixin saw them all having an indifferent expression towards her. Usually they all would cheer up and greet her with big smiles on their faces. She thought they were stressed about the battlest night and gave them all candy to eat. What she got in return almost gave her an existential crisis. The kids would hug her and kiss her cheeks with big smiles but today they all gave her a functionary, ''we thank grandmother for her gifts.'' and left.


    You Naixin almost broke into tears. She stopped Lily and asked in a very sweet voice, "Lily, my baby, tell granny the reason why all of you are so upset. I would do anything to cheer you all up." her tone was affectionate and her eyes were sincere.


    Lily hesitated but still spoke in an indifferent tone, "All the elders lied. You also did not tell us where Xixi is. We may be small but we are not stupid. If Xixi is alright he would always answer our calls. Yet now we all called him daily and he won''t even send back a text reply. This is why we decided to silently protest until Xixies back and exin or you all tell us the truth."


    You Naixin was shocked to the core. She would never have imagined that these little devils were all so sharp and intelligent. She wanted to deny it but looking at the doll with an indifferent gaze in front of her. She could not control herself and told them all about how You Xi Wang got injured while helping them deal with an unexpected enemy. The kids all had tears in their eyes. Celestia was on the other hand very calm. She spoke, "Okay, calm down everyone. You know big brother is very strong. He will recover soon. What we need to do is to grow strong and intelligent so that he does not have to bear all the burden himself."


    The kids all nodded, and Celestia became the undesignated leader of camp Little Devil. You Naixin also had a few tears in her eyes, but this time the kids did not avoid her. They all yed with her and asked her to tell stories. Lifting up her mood. You Naixin and all the other elders med themselves for not being strong enough. They thought that if they were strong enough would a sixteen-year-old jump into such a battle?


    The elders were now not as rxed as they were in the past. They all could hear the dissatisfaction in You Zhichi''s voice when she was addressing them. They all could do nothing but feel ashamed. After all, the juniors did so well in the battle but they as the elders and big cultivators were falling behind. After executing themands they all went back to cultivate diligently. You Naixin had activated the spywork and also the assassinationwork under her hands.


    Thiswork was made up of the selected orphan kids they had in the foundation. The family also had various rtives and people working outside. They selected some targets and ced their pawns in their circle a few weeks ago. The pawns quickly blended into society and were only waiting for the orders to execute the task. People might think that a group of children cannot do any significant damage but they were to be proven wrong. A group of ants can kill an elephant and the same can be done by a group of children.


    They all hade in contact with various people of the Colt family. These people were all Dark Dwellers. The kids were trained to gain their trust and once the order is sent they were to execute them. The people in the dark society are all very hasty and fickle in nature so their trust can be gained with some ttery. After all, they were just minions, and if someone and mistakes them for a master their eyes turn blind with it. The targets chosen for execution were all kids of big people in the colt family.


    ...


    Time passed quickly and it has now been a week since the battle and the orders passed out. Inside the cultivation room, the golden cocoon slowly faded revealing You Xi Wang. Maya on the side sat up on her hind legs watching You Xi Wang with rapt attention. The boy groaned and bit in his slumber.


    [Master, you have recovered but the soul needs more time to get back to its peak condition. You are advised to practice soul cultivation daily. The system is exhausted and going to sleep. Also, fuck you, you asshole. How dare you y a hero and get your ass wed. If not for me you would be under the ground now. Overconfident piece of shit. Do you understand how many lives are connected to you? If I was the primary soul I would have choked you by stuff shit in your cunt of a mouth. I warn you, If you did anything irresponsible in the future, I will take possession of this body and have you get fucked by a bull. *!#*!*#*!#*#^$*!#&!(@#(*&*!@#$^!(@&] the system abused You Xi Wang with no hold bars.


    You Xi Wang also sat up from the shock he received such harsh verbal abuse. His butt tightened when he heard that bull part. He imagined the scene and felt a chill running down his spine. He swears in his heart to not be so careless and daunting in the future. He was also worried that this ancestor inside him might actually let him be fucked by a bull. The only thing to hisfort in this awakening was that Maya climbed over hisp and snuggled into his chest. He stroked her fur and said, "I am sorry, Maya. I let you get hurt."


    Maya looked up at his face as if she was a human. She only licked his chin. After ying with him for a few minutes Mayaid down in hisp. The bond between the two has grown strong again. You Xi Wang caressed her fur as sheid in hisp. He stood up and walked to his room. He did not find anyone to attend to him. He had his own arrangements. Entered his room after taking a bath and cleaning up he changed into a neat grey shirt and blue jeans. He used his Holo-Phone and saw a dozen missed calls from all his nieces and nephews. He typed a message and sent it to all the family members.


    <em>REPORT TO THE GATHERING HALL.</em>


    He made his way out with Maya following him in tow. On the way, some of the servants came across him and bowed to him they also congratted him on recovering. By the time he reached the Gathering Hall, the hall was filled to the brim with all the family members inside. From children to elders all stood inside. They were all happy to see You Xi Wang recover. But at this moment his expression was very serious so they all kept quiet.


    You Xi Wang came to his throne and saw his sister looking at him with an affectionate gaze. He smiled and stuck out his tongue to her with his back to everyone. He turned around and faced the people with a poker face. You Zhichi was surprised and thought, ''When did this brat be such an actor?''


    You Xi Wang spoke in a loud yet calm voice, "I hope after this battle every one gained the understanding of the present situation. The world hasws but thews are made by the strong. I do not wish to see my family running and scattering as a group of chickens running from the butcher. I have thought of a few things to help our family strengthen. I am going to announce them now. Our family now discards the ways of cultivation in the modern world and switch back to ancient traditions. I do not want to hear a singleint and difort from you all. If you have problems keep them to yourself or if you really want to express them thene and challenge me. I will beat those things into your flesh. Do you have anyints?"


    The hall shook with a shout, "<strong>No, Young Master.</strong>" this was the unabated obedience the family had for its leader. They all trusted the leader with their life and You Xi Wang had proven this when he gave them a way out and fought to defend the family.


    You Xi Wang spoke again, "The more you refine the metal the better the weapon bes. What we have faced against these dark dwellers is a hard awakening to the fact that these dark forces are getting more and more unruly. In order to not suffer grievance in their hands, you should cut off those hands. Only with strength can you be the sword capable of cutting off those hands. Only hardships can make you gain strengths. Do you understand me?"


    The crowd again shouted, "Yes, Young Master." their blood was boiling regardless of their ages. They wanted to be strong.

 Chapter 132: Abolishing Walls.

    Chapter 132: Abolishing Walls.


    You Xi Wang suggested using ancient ways of cultivation and everyone epted it. The children were of the family were also present in the hall and one of them spoke up hesitantly.


    "Uncle Xi Wang, can you tell us what are the advantages of ancient ways?" everyone in the hall focused their gaze on the boy who just spoke. You Xi Wang also looked at him with a surprised expression.


    The seventh Elder reprimanded the boy in a light voice, "Jojo, do you not know one should not question the master of the family. Do you know how big is the punishment for this crime?" this boy was called Jojo. He was the grandson of the seventh elder. The boy''s parents were also present in the hall they were scared that their child might be punished and the mother couldn''t help but step in front of the boy and bowed to You Xi Wang. She spoke in a pleading tone, "Young Master, please forgive the child. I will take the punishment on his behalf. Please spare my son."


    Before anyone else could even react, You Xi Wang spoke in a questioning tone, "Sister-inw, is your son, not my nephew? What crime did hemit to be punished? He just asked me about the advantages of the ways I suggested. Also, Grandpa Shengyu (seventh elder) you guys need to be flexible about the rules. We live in the age of reasoning. So question if you do not understand my motive because it will help you grow. Only by questioning can you find the truth. Oh, my lords, sister-inw stand up already. I swear I am not joking."


    Everyone was surprised because they never thought that the family leader would allow them to ask questions. Jojo''s mother Hailey stood up and looked at the young man in front of her. You Xi Wang sat down n front of the throne with his legs crossed. The elders stood up from their chairs. You Chengxi asked, "Young Master, why are you sitting on the ground?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "It is such a boring thing to tell you all to be frank with me every time. I will talk to the kids now. Humph." he pursed his lips and beckoned the children with his hand toe to him. They all hesitated a bit. Celestia and Lily were the first to move and came in front of him. You Xi Wang saw them he smiled. The atmosphere eased a lot. You Xi Wang was blessed with a smile that could melt stones. He hugged both the girls in his arms. He spoke to the family while holding both the girls in his arms.


    "When I woke up this morning. I realized that I am actually a stranger to you all now. Right? When I used to fall sick in the past, I was looked out for by at least three people. Whether it was grandmothers, aunts, or cousins. After mom and dad left, things changed a lot. Of course, change is necessary, but this change kinda made me an outsider in this big mansion. I challenged the throne because I wanted to carry on the dreams my parents had and not because I wanted to have hegemony in the house. Though you all still love me. This halo of the family leader made me someone you all look at from a distance. My elders bow down to me, fearing I will punish my juniors. Is there anything moreughable? If I cannot be someone you can open up to, then I''d rather quit being the master of the family."


    His tone was calm, yet the eyes were filled with sadness. He really did not like his family to iste him because of this leader halo. He was the leader, but for whom? Was it not for the family itself? But if the family was going to see him as a sacred being, then fuck it. He would rather be a normal member of the family minding his own business. The people held themselves in contempt. Only now did they realize how they had isted this boy unintentionally. Everyone started forming ns on who to ease up the situation when they all woke up to a scream.


    The source was You Xi Wang, whose ear was held and twisted by his sister, You Zhichi. The boy was screaming hysterically. Xia Xue spoke first, "Zhichi, why are you hurting Xiao Wang, quickly let go."


    You Xi Wang talked between his screaming, "See grandma, this girl doesn''t love me anymore. Oh, someone, help me."


    You Zhichi squinted her eyes and twisted the ear harder. This time the pain was real and You Xi Wang begged, "Okay, I give up. I GIVE UP, CHICHI. LET GO, PLEASE. I DEPEND ON MY FACE TO EAT."


    You Zhichiughed out loud and said, "First Grandma, you see this. This brat was acting and pulling a prank on you all."


    Everyone was more surprised. They wanted to beat this boy so much. Celestia spoke, "Everyone, how about we give him a tickle punishment. Hehe."


    You Zhichi spoke, "I agree. Come Celes, let''s teach this big guy a lesson." she squatted down and started tickling You Xi Wang. Celestia and Lily also joined in. You Xi Wang startedughing and spoke, "Hahaha, I give up. Hahaha, let... hahaha... me go, Oh hahaha, my ribs hurt. Hahaha."


    Everyonedy and child in the family tickled him at least once. This time he was not seen as the master of the family. This was the motive You Xi Wang had behind this act. He wanted the people to know that the family leader was also a human being like themselves and they can act normally. The respect and awe among one''s own family members would iste one, and an isted person can never make the right decisions. To make your family grow, you must first be one with the family.


    After the tickling session was over. Everyone stood neatly back to their ces, leaving a soft-body You Xi Wang on the floor who was curled up like a dumpling. He was panting and his face was red. Hair was scattered. He shakily stood up and sat down on the throne. after catching his breath he asked, "What else did you all do in the past week?"


    You Zhichi said, "We activated the intelligence and the assassination squads. They achieved good results with no casualties."


    You Xi Wang sat up straight, "I want a full report about this."


    You Naixin stood up and said, "A week ago we activated our people inside the dark side. Especially the people of the Colt family. These people were a group of children who topped the training session. They were all ced into the social circle of the dark dwellers of the colt family. The children were ordered to gain the trust of these people and wait for the order to execute and vanish. After the battle when you were injured, Master Alester Book set-up a formation around the mansion to stop these scums from invasion. Zhichi ordered that we should strike back. We should attack from the shadow so that these scums live in the fear of being hunted down constantly. Till today we have collected 21 of these scums. All of them are the younger generation of the Colt family and the people rted to the dark side in the Mirai Group."


    You Xi Wang was pleasantly surprised by this news. He turned to his sister and gave a big thumbs up. You Zhichi smiled. You Xi Wang asked a question, "What are the chances that this could lead them to our foundation?"


    You Naixin spoke, "No chance at all. Our agents always changed their faces by disguises or transfiguration techniques. They also destroyed their fake identities. I have made sure this does not lead back to us. But just in case it does, we have collected all the evidence of these people being dark dwellers. The evidence is enough to kill some major big shots of the Miria Group."


    You Xi Wang shed a bright smile. His grin was so wide that his eyes turned into crescents. He spoke, "You are so awesomely sneaky granny Xin. I love you to death." although it was apliment to You Naixin. This boy deliberately added the word ''Sneaky'' to take a hidden jab at You Naixin.


    But too bad the jab was spotted by You Naixin. Her figure flickered, and she shot at You Xi Wang to teach him a lesson. You Xi Wang was also ready for this attack. He picked up Maya and ran away, leaving a loud shout, "THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED. GRANDMOTHERS, YOU ALL MAKE PANCAKES FOR US TONIGHT. BYE BYE." his speed was so fast that You Naixin could not catch up to him without getting serious. But this was all just their regr teasing and ying, so she could onlye back to the gathering hall while shaking her head. She had a smile on her face.


    Everyone else in the hall also smiled. At this moment, Xia Xue pped her hands to gather the attention of everyone. She spoke after seeding in her goal, "You all may think that what Xiao Wang said earlier about isting him was just a prank, but I can feel that he really misses his parents and the love from the past. You all need to realize that he is not some old monster, but just a teenager. He is like a young nt that needs support and nourishment to grow into a big tree. Xiao Chi twisted his ear to save you all from guilt, and that silly boy also followed her lead. This pair of siblings is a gift to our family. So I ask you all not to objectify them into something sacred. They are children who need love." she paused and turned to face You Zhichi, who had her head bowed a little. She walked up to her and patted her head as she said, "Xiao Chi, you silly girl. You have grown so much. take a break ande with grandma. Learn some cooking. Okay?"


    You Zhichi directly hugged her first grandmother and started sobbing into her bosom. The crowd only scattered when they all pampered You Zhichi a bit. You Xi Wang watched all this from a distance and smiled. He nodded and put on his helmet to go out of the house.

 Chapter 133: Game Time.

    Chapter 133: Game Time.


    You Xi Wang moved out of the house and rode his bike straight to the office. Before leaving he already made a call to Petra to meet him in the office and also apologized for the dy in the proceedings. Though Petra expressed her understanding as everyone in the Silica City was aware that You Family has suffered a Dark Dweller raid. Though they were all also surprised that the raiding team was not only defeated but eliminated with no casualties. This incident also disyed the power and strength of You Family. The position of the family was now not among the top but the top itself. Although it was not an officially stated position it was a silent understanding among the people of the City that You Family is not to be touched and messed with.


    There were also spections that You Xi Wang himself defeated a Primal Soul Level dark Dweller with the help of his teammates and spirit beast. The strongest member of this assault team was a Core level Cultivator, suspected to be You Zhichi and Snow Wistrom. These few days Snow Wistrom has also gained a reputation. The academy has conducted the internal selection tournament. You Xi Wang was appointed the captain but had not yet addressed the team due to his injury. Today was Sunday and the school was closed so he decided to call Petra to deal with his affairs of thepany. Petra also called the team as the progress has stagnated. They were all to wait at the office of Pro-Code.


    You Xi Wang rode his Lev-Bike straight to the location discussed earlier. He walked into the office after passing through the security check. He was not stopped this time because the security staff was notified in advance by Petra Fisher. Just as You Xi Wang was about to ask a staff member about the way to the conference hall. The elevator opened with a ''ding'' sound. A slender figure wrapped in a one-piece steel-grey skirt appeared in front of You Xi Wang. The woman walked towards him in her stilettos producing a clicking sound with every step.


    You Xi Wang felt as if the clicking sound of the heels synchronized with his heartbeat. he was woken up by a sweet mellow voice, "You Xi Wang! You Xi Wang!"


    The boy''s gazed focused again on the source of the sound. He smiled and spoke, "Petra, are you perhaps trying to make memit a crime tonight?"


    Petra was a thin-skinneddy from the start but she understood that You Xi Wang was flirting with her whileplimenting her beauty. She was already very satisfied by the charm she had over this guy just now. This sentence multiplied her happiness and also made her experience butterflies in her heart.


    She spoke as faint red clouds surfaced on her face, "Stop sweet mouthing me and let''s go to the meeting. everyone is waiting for the Maestro to arrive."


    She took the initiative to grab a hold of his hand and started pulling him towards the Elevator. You Xi Wang obviously followed her with no protest. He was smiling as he experienced the softness of the boneless palm around his wrist. Petra asked him as soon as the elevator door closed.


    "Are you fine? I heard from Miss You Zhichi that you were injured?" her voice was dripping with concern. You Xi Wang was the first friend she had ever since she graduated high school. She was a tech genius who was often seen as a nerd. As a student, she always neglected her looks, although she was pretty, even diamonds collect dust over time so was the case with her.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Just a week of rest and I am fine. I tell you a secret. I have grown stronger." he spoke with a low voice. He then asked, "Why is this elevator having doors. Last time it was an open elevator and now it is this box."


    Yes, thest time he came to this ce the elevator was an open tform-like design. As a person orientated to details how could he miss this change? Petra replied with a sweet voice, "This cabin is for my use only. People ogle too much. So when I took charge I shifted the employee elevator to the other side."


    You Xi Wang nced at her, scrutinized her from head to toe. His gaze made Petra blush. She turned her head away in embarrassment. You Xi Wang said, "Who asked you to be so pretty then? Also, where is your anklet? That thing looks so good when you wear it."


    Petra''s face flushed, it was as if blood would drip out. Peoplepliment her every time but never did she getplimented that a piece of jewelry looks good because she wears it. How sweet was it to hear such words? You Xi Wang naturally knew what she was thinking. He mused, ''She gets satisfied too easily.'' he even had the urge to shake his head while covering his face with a palm but he controlled it.


    Petra did not answer and the elevator reached the second most top floor of the building where the conference room was located. Petra was still holding You Xi Wang''s wrist and subconsciously pulled him towards the room. Only at the door did she realize that she was holding him. With a blushed face she let go and entered the room with You Xi Wang. She tactfully stayed half a step behind him. This was a subtle gesture but it was to make people in the room aware of his status and not to look down on him because of his age.


    You Xi Wang had a calm expression on his face when he sat down on the big boss chair. Petra sat down on a chair on his right side. He gestured for everyone to seat down. He saw that the chief technology developer was also present. You Xi Wang nodded to the man with a slight smile and the other party returned his gesture. You Xi Wang spoke first, "So may I know how far is the progress with the game and also the download number of Metro-Frame?"


    A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Sir, I am Timothy Cullen, Head Of Sales in Pro-Code. Answering your question, the Metro-Frame is really a hit product. From the day it wasunched till now, the download number has reached a gigantic 10 million, the counter is still ticking. The people like this app and also we have tied up with 20panies till now. They all will pay us an advertising fee of 10 million credits each annually. These terms were set only for the tenure of a year, that is 365 days."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Take out 10% credits from every month advertising revenue and distribute it among the staff. Take out a special 5% of the revenue to distribute it to the best employees in every department. The distribution will be based on the amount and importance of their work. And from every department, I mean every department. Janitors to executives. Understood?"


    Timothy Cullen nodded like a pecking woodpecker and said, "Understood, boss." he was an experienced man and understood the implementation of this move was to motivate the employees to work hard and improve.


    You Xi Wang spoke again, "Petra, arrange a campaign, every employee whoes up with a game sample that can be produced without harming the social value of the world will receive five percent dividend till the game is out in the market. Whether it is a lifetime or two years. They will earn from it."


    Petra nodded in response. The whole room was shocked and pleasantly surprised by these two arrangements made by You Xi Wang. They finally came to know the real skill of the Maestro. They recognized this young man as the boss. It was amon practice to earn profits for businessmen but not every boss was generous. Especially Old man Fisher, that man was not called shark for only his coding software fame. That man was a money-grubber. Petra was generous but it seemed that she was still learning from You Xi Wang.


    Carl Herald stood up and said, "Boss, I am responsible for the game you asked us to develop earlier. The game was changed ording to your directions. Can you test it and see if it has any more things that needed to be changed?"


    You Xi Wang nodded to show his affirmation. Carl Herald was ready to act as soon as he agrees and passed him a virtual reality helmet. You Xi Wang put on the helmet and leaned back in the chair. He executedmand with his mouth, "Game Start."


    The scenery changed and he came to stand in the center of the field. The stadium was filled with a lot of crowds and some music was also ying in the background. The helmet was connected to the projector and everything inside was disyed outside. You Xi Wang spoke, "The start is good."


    The developing team cheered up. They were all really worried that the boss would not like it. You Xi Wang heard a voice, "Please select your team colors and name."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Team name Phantom." soon the name was registered. He was then shown a cursor leading somewhere. You Xi Wang followed it and he found himself in the Locker room. There he customized a set of ying gear for himself and his team. Soon he did everything, he yed the game. He liked this sensation of ying football after such a long time. he won the game and said, "I really like it. It is good. The only thing itcks is the game strategies. I will dictate some and you develop an autonomous code that executes these strategies ordingly throughout the game."


    You Xi Wang then put down the helmet and told the people some strategies such as Offside-trap, time consumption, wall formation, and team y formations. He said in the end, "After you have done all this make it so that 11 people can connect together and make a team to y together. Also, if theyck people then they can y with bots. Okay?"


    Carl Herald nodded and he was noting down every word You Xi Wang spoke. As for the sales of this game, You Xi Wang obviously had a n in his mind. This game was going to be a big move towards his goal to cripple the Mirai Group.

    Chapter 134: Gentleman Gets The Girls


    The meeting was concluded after You Xi Wang conversed about many points rted to the game development and BETA testing. It was decided that ording to his previous orders, thepany will conduct a survey to find out some people who are interested in gaming. The survey will be conducted over Metro-Frame. The selected users will be then sponsored by thepany toe to Silica City and take part in the testing. Thepany will pay for their amodations, meals, and basicmodities. This was a better way to attract users. Also You Xi Wang asked them to release a video clipping containing the gamey.


    The rted personnel wanted to conduct a meeting with their teams, but You Xi Wang asked them to do it tomorrow as it was a holiday and the people deserved to rest. He also asked Petra to reimburse one day''s sry for the people who were called over today. The employees expressed their gratitude and left the office. You Xi Wang and Petra were the only ones left in the conference hall. The whole office slowly turned empty as the couple was immersed in their happy talks. You Xi Wang was boasting who valiant he was during the battle and was asionally joking too. Petra was smiling non-stop during this time.


    "Okay, okay, Xi Wang, stop it, please. My jaws are stiff from smiling." Petra spoke with an aggrieved expression. You Xi Wang could help but pinch her porcin-like nose. He said with a sigh, "You are so adorable Petra. I wonder if the people knew you can be like this, what will they do."


    Petra immediately drowned in faint red clouds. She felt very sweet with You Xi Wangplimenting her. She turned away to hide the embarrassment. You Xi Wang took the opportunity and brought his face next to Petra. The girl opened her sparkling eyes big and wide. She looked exquisite. This sight was perfectly captured in a camera. Petra heard a shutter sound and saw that You Xi Wang was holding his hand high with the camera aimed at the two of them. In the picture, his smiling face and Petra''s face was visiblepletely.


    He came back to his chair and used his Holo-Phone to register an ount on Metro-Frame. He said to Petra, "If we do not use the product we created. Then what is the point of inventing."


    He aimed the camera at himself and clicked a half-face picture of himself. This picture was set as his profile picture. Then he typed in a status, ''Peace.'' along with a V finger emoticon. Soon the ount was registered. It looked just like a socialworking site he used and saw on Earth. As for his first post. He posted a picture of Celestia, You Zhichi, and himself ying together. The picture was taken at night when the three were out together for a dinner. Then he posted one picture with Yuki, Fenny, Emily, and Susan. Then was the picture of him and his team dressed in the ck battle suits holding weapons. The picture was captioned as ''Phantom Squad''. He tagged his friends together. Only they were using the app at the moment.


    He took out a coin disk and tossed it to Petra. He said, "This video will an advertisement for Metro-Frame. Show it to your team and ask them what they think. If they have any ideas, talk about them. We can use multiple advertisements and also make sure that you highlight the key points of the app in the advertisement videos."


    Petra nodded and spoke, "I will follow up on it, first thing in the morning tomorrow." she thought of something and asked what are you doing after this?"


    You Xi Wang pondered and said, "I was about to ask you out. I am hungry. I haven''t eaten in a week. So, shall we?"


    Petra was surprised that this boy who was so full of energy had not eaten in a week. She stood up hurriedly and said, "Come let me take you home. I will cook something light for you. You should not eat outside."


    It was You Xi Wang, who was surprised this time. He nodded and walked out of the office with Petra. The target was the parking area. You Xi Wang saw Petra walking to her mag-lev. He suddenly felt that this vehicle design was too blunt. His mind was as if struck by lightning at this moment. He smacked his forehead. He seemed to have never noticed that the exterior of the ''cars in this world looked like a brick on the outside. The Lev-Bikes were still designed a little proactively, while these Mag-Lev cars were simply luxurious bricks. They were allfy and ssy on the inside, but on the outside, it was just unsightly.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Hey, Petra, how about we ride on my bike? It is faster than that brick."


    Petra thought about it and hesitated. She said, "Xi Wang, this dress is a bit ufortable. I will follow in the car. Do not worry, my ce is nearby."


    You Xi Wag nodded and rode his bike. Petra drove her Mag-Lev to a luxurious apartment some 3-4 kilometers away from the office building. She parked the car and as You Xi Wang was following her car he was not stopped by the security personnel as Petra in the front have told about him. She did not want him to be held at the door by the Security. After all, he was her friend and also the boss. You Xi Wang parked the bike and looked around this area. The buildings here were a staggering 50 floors high. Petra lived on the 40th floor. They took the levitating elevator and reached their destination in a few seconds. Petra led You Xi Wang to the steel grey door at the end of the corridor.


    The door opened itself. A female voice sounded, "Wee home, Sister Petra."


    Petra replied, "XiaoAi, prepare bath water for me." she took off her shoes revealing her small jade feet. If not for his image, You Xi Wang would have jumped on Petra right now. Petra took out guest slippers from the side drawer and gave them to You Xi Wang. She said, "Xi Wang, you sit down. I wille back in a few minutes. Then I will cook okay. I am sorry, but I really need to take a bath."


    Her face was slightly red, and she was not blushing, concerned You Xi Wang touched her forehead with his forehead. He asked after parting, "Petra, are you okay? You are not having a fever."


    Petra had not yet woke up from the previous shock of this guy almost kissing her. How was she to answer? He shook her slightly and asked in a concerned voice, "Petra, are you okay?" the shaking woke her up and she spoke with a face much redder, "Yes, I am fine, it is just girls problems." her voice wasparable to the buzz of a mosquito.


    You Xi Wang was a smart persona, and he understood what she meant. He said, "Okay, you take care of it also, can I instruct your houses A.I.?" he asked quickly to avoid embarrassment.


    Petra nodded and spoke, "XiaoAi, set Xi Wang''s status as an upant of the house. Secondary owner privilege granted."


    A female voice sounded, "Command epted sister Petra."


    Petra told You Xi Wang some basic guidelines about the A.I. and left to take a bath. You Xi Wang watched her back leaving quickly and spoke, "XiaoAi, tell me where is the kitchen."


    XiaoAi responded, "Sir, the kitchen is on the left-hand side after you cross the living room."


    You Xi Wang followed the directions and saw a well-equipped kitchen. The appliances were all thetest ones. He nodded in satisfaction. He spoke again, "XiaoAi, do you know if there are some milk and rice in the supplies?"


    XiaoAi replied, "Yes, sir." provided him the location where the rtive items were stored. You Xi Wang spoke, "XiaoAi, change the way you address me. Call me Xi Wang from now on."


    The A.I. replied, "Command epted, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang nodded in satisfaction and took out the Milk, Rice, and Sugar. He wanted to make sweet rice porridge. He turned on the stove and started cooking. His movements were all very subtle and smooth. On the side, he heated some water as well. Soon, Petra arrived in the kitchen. She was surprised to see You Xi Wang wearing an apron and cooking porridge. She was about to speak when You Xi Wang turned to face her. He smiled at her and took a ss of warm water to her.


    He said, "Drink this, it helps with the cramps. The porridge will be down soon. Also, do you mind if I put some dried berries in the porridge?"


    Petra dumbly took the ss in her hand and shook her head. You Xi Wang smiled and turned back tomunicate with the A.I. to find the raisins, while Petra was lost in a warm feeling. She only woke up when her belly cramped a bit. She gulped down some warm water. The pain eased a lot, and she took a breath of relief. She turned and walked out to sit on the small dining table across the kitchen. She was wondering whether the warmth inside her was because of the warm water or how well You Xi Wang treated her. Just when she was getting further and further in her thoughts. The table surface was knocked, and she saw You Xi Wang standing next to her with a bowl in his hands.


    You Xi Wang was also scanning Petra from head to toe. She was wearing a baby pink t-shirt and a pair of white cotton shorts. The shorts were covering only half of her white plump thighs. You Xi Wang nearly drooled. He came back to his sense as Petra took the bowl of porridge from his hand with a blush on her fair face. You Xi Wang sat opposite her and started eating the porridge with a soup spoon. Petra also took a spoon and after blowing the piping hot porridge twice she ate it.


    Her expression was that of surprise. She was an intelligent woman. She understood that given You Xi Wang''s background if he could cook a bowl of porridge which is as good as the one you get to eat at home, then it was a major achievement. At least, in her vision it was. She ate the bowl of porridge to every bit of grain. You Xi Wang ate faster than her and also took another bowl of serving. Petra put the bow in the sink and left it to washter or put it in the dishwasher after You Xi Wang leaves. The boy took up both his and Petra''s bowl and washed them clean.


    Petra wanted to stop him, but when she saw him smiling contently, she stopped herself. How was she to know that this boy was a transmigrator, and he was smiling because he got to do household chores after such a long time? He came out and took off his apron only when he was done with everything and sat next to Petra on the sofa in the living room. It was still early. The two of them just had ate breakfast. The two started talking again and after 30 minutes, Petra''s cramps returned. You Xi Wang helped her with a ss of warm water.


    After he sat down next to her he said, "Petra, it might sound a bit too much to you but would you like to sit in myp? I can stroke your belly to help you ease the cramps."


    Petra was shocked to the core. She even wondered how can this guy actually say something like this with such a serious face. Also, her heart was racing like a scared deer and nearly jumped out of her mouth. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She hesitantly nodded and stood up from her seat. You Xi Wang calmly took her hand and guided her to sit in hisp. Petra dared not look at him and just kept looking sideways. Her body shivered a bit as You Xi Wang ced his palm on her belly. You Xi Wang slowly caressed the belly and used a bleak amount of the fire spirit energy to make Petra feel warm. Soon, the girl rested her head on his shoulder and drifted into slumbend. You Xi Wang sat frozen with only his hand on her stomach moving from time to time.


    ...


    Petra woke up after a couple of hours. She saw You Xi Wang was still sitting in the same posture and let her have afortable sleep. She mustered her courage and kissed the boy''s cheek. She then buried her face in his shoulder. You Xi Wang smiled and patted her back gently. He heard a timid voice in his ears, "Can you be my boyfriend?"

 Chapter 135: Celestial Motors.

    Chapter 135: Celestial Motors.


    You Xi Wang was surprised at first and then he spoke with a smile, "It would be my pleasure."


    Petra hummed and buried her face in his chest. She felt very warm when sheid over him. Thest barrier in her heart broke when You Xi Wang took care of her. He sat still in a posture, allowing her to sleep withfort. You Xi Wang spoke, "Should I call the other three to let them know about us?"


    Petra hummed again to show her approval of the thought. You Xi Wang used his Holo-Phone and dialed the three people. Petra jumped off hisp like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. The call connected and the threedies saw You Xi Wang sitting next to Petra. They all immediately gave him a knowing smile. Susan spoke first, "Sister Petra, wee to the family."


    The other two followed the lead. Emily spoke, "Sister Petra, you now need to see the holy trinity in our Young Master''s life. They are all good-hearted people, but when it is rted to the Young Master, they are all very strict. All the best."


    Yuki spoke, "Yes, Granny Xin, Aunty Qianbei, and big sister Zhichi. Hehe... I will tell them now so that this meeting can be dealt with sooner and then we four together throw this skirt chaser to the side and hang out together."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Hey, I am not a skirt chaser. Though I can be seen as a womanizer. But who made you all so beautiful and nice? Huh, ming me all the time. I tell you guys, do not deliberately make fun of me. I will spank your butts senseless."


    The three women giggled while Petra blushed. She never expected these guys to be so frank in front of her. The five people chatted together for a bit, and then the call disconnected. You Xi Wang tuck a strand of hair behind Petra''s ear and said, "You can meet my elders after you feel well, Okay?"


    Petra nodded as she locked her eyes with You Xi Wang. How could a boy give up? You Xi Wang leaned towards her and Petra closed her eyes. The boy sped her tender face in his hand. Their lips met. Petra trembled a little, but soon awkwardly she started responding to You Xi Wang''s advances. The two kissed for a bit and then separated. Petra opened her eyes and saw You Xi Wang looking at her. Their eyes met, and the girl blushed.


    You Xi Wang said, "Petra, I will leave now. I have something to do. You call me if you need anything. Okay?"


    Petra nodded like a docile kitten. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, but she also knew that You Xi Wang might have something important to do. Plus their rtionship might be slow, but it was still too fast. She did not know him much. It was as if this man was d in a mist she could not see through. A bulb went off in her mind. She stood up and said, "Wait for me toe back." and walked inside to her room.


    After a minute she came back with a pair of anklets in her hand. She said standing in front of him, "These two belonged to my grandmother. She passed them down to me. She said if one day I like someone I should ask that person which one suits me the best. That way I will know how much that person knows me."


    You Xi Wang gazed at the two pieces of jewelry in her hand and smiled. He spoke, "These two are a pair, meant to be worn together but if you wear different looking anklets on both your ankles, then it would be funny. So these two are to be worn on one of your ankles together. They showcase a person''s temperament. That day when you came to my office you wore this silver one. It looks in and cold, suited for a formal meeting. This other one is made of ss Gold, the metal is called docile because it is very delicate and can only be carved once. The possibility is very low too. Since you have asked me about which one suits you the most. My answer would be..."


    He stood up, took both the anklets, and pushed Petra on the couch. He bent down in front of her and gently tied both of the anklets in her right ankle. He stood up and said with a bright smile on his face, "You are someone who is both shy and bold. You behave ording to the situation. So you should wear both of them."


    Petra was still blushing because he grabbed her bare leg and tied the anklet. She still nodded while wanting to bury her head in a hole. You Xi Wang took his helmet and said, "I will see you soon. Take care, love." and pecked her forehead gently before leaving.


    Petra hurriedly walked behind him like a little wife. She spoke to him when he was at the door, "Xi Wang, you drive safely, okay."


    You Xi Wang nodded to her with a smile and took the elevator down. He came out and started his Lev-Bike. He left the apartment as Petra watched him from a floor to ceiling window. She sighed and sat down on the couch. Grabbed a cushion and muttered to herself, "Petra, you are so fickle. What if Xi Wang lost control and felt you?"


    A fierce blush came over her face as she buried her face in the cushion while thinking, "Why are you expecting for him to do that?"


    ...


    You Xi Wang had people in his TianLong Tech work on a 24*7 basis. The staff working on the weekends were interns and part-timers. They worked under the scrutiny of some experienced staff members. You Xi Wang park his car and entered the office. He was at the reception when he saw Gerrarding down from the elevator. He saw You Xi Wang and greeted him with a smile. You Xi Wang asked, "Uncle Gerrard, are you getting off work?"


    Gerrard shook his head and said, "Boss, I just came down for a bite. I still have to arrange some stuff."


    You Xi Wang asked again, "Do you have any subordinate of yours which is capable in a market analysis?"


    Gerrard nodded and said, "Yes, there are a few. What do you need them to do?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Is it possible to send them to my cabin? I will give them overtime for this."


    Gerrardughed and said, "Young Master, these greedy boys are already on overtime so do not worry. I will send them to your cabin, right away."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Then, I will wait for them there. You have a good meal, Uncle Gerrard, and look after yourself. Rest is important too."


    Gerrard felt good after hearing such concerned words from this young boss. He then texted his subordinates and left to have a meal in thepany cafeteria. You Xi Wang took the elevator and came straight to his cabin. Not long after he started going through some pending documents, the door was knocked.


    He spoke without lifting his head from the screen, "Come in."


    The door opened with a click and four men came inside. They lined up and stood before him. This boy in front of them might look young, but his brain was that of an old monster and he had an amazing sense of business. They were all very respectful towards him, as the treatment of employees was very good. You Xi Wang looked up and with a faint smile he said, "Have a seat."


    The four people sat down. You Xi Wang spoke, "Pardon me but can you introduce your names to me first? I don''t think I have ever met you all."


    The man on the leftmost chair said, "Boss, you do not need to be so humble with us. It is our pleasure to do something for you."


    You Xi Wang nodded and let them introduce their names to him. Starting from the left, As, Ray, Cal, and Andrew. They all specialized in marketing. You Xi Wang spoke, "I have a bold idea. This might change the face of transport vehicles as we know."


    The four people were shocked to hear such big words. You Xi Wang continued, "The vehicles look like bricks on the outside despite beingfortable on the inside. Although the world prefers to treat everyone equally still there is always a difference. If they do not know the difference, then how could they even chase other people? So we are going to pick up vehicles and make them a definition to define the ss of people. I want you to search for and select some Mag-Lev manufacturers. See, which of them will sell thepanies. Negotiate the terms, register them as a subsidiary of our group, and name thepany, CELESTIAL MOTORS. You have a week, the one who can get this done first will get to be the manager of thatpany. Also, we do not change management but preside over it. Do you understand?"


    The four of them spoke, "Yes, Boss."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Good, and keep it in mind that this thing should not be known to anyone except uncle Gerrard. We need to get one manufacturingpany. Now get working boys, the clock is ticking."


    The four of them were in their mid-twenties and they were energetic. They did not even greet him. They ran straight out of the cabin. You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile and went back to deal with the pending work.

 Chapter 136: Letting go.

    Chapter 136: Letting go.


    You Xi Wang stayed at work till evening and dealt with all the things he was supposed to today. He took one break and asked the front desk to get him something light to eat. He also took out to time inform his master about his recovery.


    Alester Book was dealing with some people in a bad mood when he saw You Xi Wang calling him. His mood immediately cheered up, and he spared his poor subordinates. You Xi Wang told him that his soul prowess has lower a little and will recover with time. Alester Book also consoled You Xi Wang that cultivation takes time and he should take it slow.


    You Xi Wang disconnected the call and sat packed up his stuff to leave the office. He rode his Lev-Bike back home. He also called Petra, asking her about how she is feeling. Though it was just an audio call. He nced at his Holo-Phone and thought of something. These things are convenient, but they are also too rigid. The thing he disliked about these gadgets was that the camera inside did not have too many options. They could only point in one direction. The people in this world had no concept of selfies and timepse or other camera functions. You Xi Wang decided this to be his next project after Celestial Motors.


    He reached home and parked the bike. He went to his room and saw Emily waiting for him inside. He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. Emily knew that it was him, so she did not protest but enjoyed his embrace. The boy asked, "I did not take Maya with me. Where is she?"


    Emily spoke with a giggle, "Where else could she be? Celes and Lily are giving her the princess treatment."


    You Xi Wang shook his head. He loosened the embrace and said, "I will take a bath and then can you get me some food. Emily said, "I am here for just that. Zhichi asked for you toe to the dining hall. The family will eat together tonight."


    You Xi Wang nodded and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Emily followed him inside. He looked at her and said, "Why are you inside?"


    Emily said with a blush on her face, "I want to take a bath with you."


    You Xi Wang was shocked but then he shook his head. He did not even react when Emily took off all her clothes and stood in front of him bare. She even came to his side and took off his clothes. Then dragged him to the shower. What happened afterward is something that a 16-year-old can only fantasize about. Emily almost crossed thest line, but they were both cultivators and suppressed their fire. They came out with blushing faces.


    You Xi Wang wore a white sports shirt and a ck lower. Emily wore a sport shirt and shorts given to her by him as she forgot to bring her space ring and clothes. You Zhichi walked inside the room. She stood in a daze when she saw this situation. She covered her eyes and turned to leave the room. You Xi Wang ran behind her hurriedly and dragged her back to the room. He said, "This is not what it seems like. Emily spilled water on her clothes and did not have her space ring, so I gave her my clothes."


    Emily also spoke hurriedly, "Zhichi, what young master said is true."


    You Zhichi gave them a suspicious gaze and asked, "Are you sure? Well, not that I mind you guys doing indecent things."


    Her brother hurriedly denied all this and took her to the dining room. On the way, Emily stopped to change her clothes. How would they exin her wearing You Xi Wang''s clothes to the whole family? She changed into something casual and followed the siblings to the dining hall.


    The whole family was gathered at this ce. You Xi Wang came in with his sister and everyone acted normally as they used to in the past. Treating him like a normal member. You Xi Wang was usually spoon-fed by his mother and ever since she died he has eaten by himself. Not that he could not eat, but he was always studying and someone would have to feed him by hand. This task was taken care of by You Zhichi or Chen Limao. Today, when he was about to pick up his spoon to eat, Xia Xue appeared by his side. She smilingly took the spoon from his hand and fed it to him.


    Then his aunts, cousins, everyone fed him a bite. Unknowingly he was full. His vision blurred, the boy looked at the ceiling trying to stop himself from crying. You Zhichi saw this and smiled. She hugged him.


    "Gougou, it okay. Let it go. I am here beside you. Do you remember what mom said? Sometimes letting go can help you go further. Carry their memories in your heart but let them go sweetheart." her voice was very warm. Although You Xi Wang merged with the soul remnant of the real You Xi Wang, he could not break free from the pain of losing his parents. Today, once again, he was overwhelmed by grief. Slowly tears fell down his eyes. He hugged You Zhichi and buried his face in her shoulder. Muffled wails echoed in the dining hall. You Zhichi calmly held her brother and kept patting his back. The boy cried and cried. The whole family could sense his grief. This boy was the prince of their family. His parents loved him to the limits. It did not differ from other parents loving their children, but when they found out that the boy had a weak cultivation talent they started taking care of him better than before. The boy was also very loveable. He was naughty but obedient when needed.


    Suddenly left without any parents, how can a teenager just let it go. He works well, cultivating, exercising revenge. He might not know, but this is a sub-conscious reaction to keep himself upied. But the elders of the family know it. The weather outside turned cloudy and lightning shed. It started raining as if nature was crying alongside him. You Xi Wang exhausted himself as he cried. He would speak sometimes as he cried. You Zhichi patiently consoled him and she also cried silently. The siblings held each other. Soon, You Xi Wang fell asleep in her arms. You Shan Wang came and took the boy from his sister. You Zhichi''s dress was wet.


    ...


    You Xi Wang woke up in his room, nkly gazed at the ceiling. He muttered, "I cried. How embarrassing it is to ept that it can also make your burdens ease up."


    You Zhichi''s voice sounded beside him, "Embarrassing it is, but it is also true."


    She was lying on the other side of his bed while gazing at the ceiling nkly.


    You Xi Wang said, "It is grandma''s birthday in a few days." his sister hummed. He continued, "Mom used to visit her every year. How about this time we go?"


    You Zhichi nodded. Her brother said, "How about we take Celes too?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "Hmm, okay. Come, let''s go to school first. You need to meet the team for the battle fest today."


    You Xi Wang nodded and took a shower. He appeared dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans. You Zhichi was dressed in a silver long top paired with ck leggings. The two rode You Xi Wang''s Lev-Bike. They were silent the whole time. You Xi Wang also took Maya along with him today. The two people were not upset, but they were enjoying the silence. Today there was no need to speak up to make the atmosphere light. The serenity they were experiencing at this moment. They arrived at the school and You Zhichi led him to the core region where the team was gathered together.


    The team for the battle fest had ten regr members and five substitutes. The battle fest had two segments. A group battle and a solo battle. Group battle was survival in different spaces. Each team will be sent into a different space on a random. The time flow in these spaces differs from the outside realm. After one month, those who stayed on the inside will be taken out by the council executives. It may seem unfair, but it also has its own perks. Such as better tempering conditions. So people actually wished to be given a space with a longer time flow than others to get stronger.


    You Xi Wang walked with his sister. In the training room, 13 people stood in a queue facing a man. You Xi Wang knew some of them. The man in a battle suit was Adonis. The instructor You Xi Wang defeated earlier, in front of him stood the students who ranked top 10 in the battle fest. You Zhichi was undoubtedly the strongest after she broke through the core formation level.


    Among the students stood Snow, Lina, Neo, An, Yuki. These were the people You Xi Wang knew personally. Lina was the sniper in his sister''s team. The unknown people saw the two of them arrive immediately became very solemn.


    Adonis pointed to You Xi Wang who stood behind him with a thumb and said, "This is You Xi Wang, student third grade, ss A. He is the captain of this team."


    You Xi Wang took one step forward and faced the team. He said, "I know some of you are still not very satisfied with being led by a younger person. But I don''t have time to care about your emotions." his words made some people feel unsatisfied. They wanted to protest, but You Xi Wang cut them off.


    "I will satisfy you all. Come at me together. The sooner I beat you people, the sooner we get to proceed. There is only one month left in the tournament. Also,e together. You can use live-fire weapons." his tone was domineering and straight. He did not even bother to hide the disdain in his eye.


    Soon eight out of fifteen people rushed at him.

 Chapter 137: Iron-Hand Rule.

    Chapter 137: Iron-Hand Rule.


    You Xi Wang rushed forward to face eight people head-on. These people all rushed up in a formation. Their motive was to overwhelm You Xi Wang, and also to not give him any chance of escape or scatter the formation. But how were they to know that You Xi Wang was going to disrupt them from the very first moment?


    A burly man swung his right fist, aiming straight to his face. You Xi Wang turned, using his left foot as a pivot while grabbing his opponent''s right hand with his right hand. After turning, he nted his right foot to the ground and bent down a bit. The next scene was a big ball of muscles flying down in the air.


    <strong>BANG!</strong>


    The ball of musclesnded on the ground. He groaned in pain. The second opponent wanted to kick the back of his head but You Xi Wang again turned, this time using his right foot as a pivot raised both his hands to grab the leg of his opponent. He nted his left foot on the ground and pulled his opponent along with his turn without throwing him. His opponent had little time to react when You Xi Wangpleted the turn. Two people were aiming their guns at You Xi Wang''s back. They wanted to pull the trigger, but there was no opportunity. Their teammate was a Meat-Shield.


    You Xi Wang took out his own handgun. He threw the meat shield toward the gunners and fired three shots at the three who were running towards him with their blunt weapons. While doing all this You Xi Wang did not stop even for a second because there was a sniper hidden in the covers of the training field.


    The training field was an underground facility. The battle area was as big as two kilometers. Enough for snipers to hide and kill. Adonis and others on the side were witnessing all this. No one was NOT shocked to see this operation. Adonis still could not help but say in astonishment.


    "Damn, student Zhichi, is this kid a monster? How does he train?"


    You Zhichi spoke with a helpless tone, "Instructor, if I tell you that this boy is hardly seen practicing, would you believe it?"


    Adonis spoke with disbelief, "Given your character, I believe you do not lie, but how is it possible to have such a battle instinct with no practice?"


    Yuki spoke, "Instructor, battle instinct is used when you are evading or defending the unknown. Not when you have been attacking."


    Adonis subconsciously nodded, he then again focused on the battle in front of him. You Xi Wang suppressed the three people with his handgun. Instead of approaching them, he advanced towards the gunners. The gunners also saw this and after the ''meat shield'' fell down they fired at You Xi Wang with no hesitation. You Xi Wang smirked as soon as the two squeezed the trigger. His figure shed, and he vanished from his spot. The bullets carried on straight to the blunt weapon squad.


    The trio with blunt weapons was directly behind You Xi Wang. Now they had no choice but to scatter to avoid the bullets. The gunners also stopped firing after witnessing this. Soon their bodies turned stiff. A cold de was pressed against their napes. You Xi Wang, who vanished earlier, appeared behind the two of them. He spoke in a cold voice, "Should we carry on with this facade, or do you all give up?"


    <strong><em>WHIZZ!!</em></strong>


    A bullet flew. You Xi Wang vanished again, and the bullet hit the ground where he stood. The sniper was self-aware. He saw his shot miss, and he ran quickly to change his position, but You Xi Wang chased him. Soon, the sniper was hit with a cold arrow in his leg. The arrow was shot by You Xi Wang. He came to the sniper and knocked him out with a chop on the neck. Then he picked up the sniper rifle and changed the bullets with tranquilizers.


    On the sidelines, Lina said, "I wonder if he can get them out in five minutes."


    A gunshot sounded throughout the field. A tranquilizer hit one guy with a spear right in the middle of his brows. Another gunshot sounded, this time it was the balls of muscle who was thrown away. The same spot was hit. In the middle of his brows. The remaining people all gave up. They raised their hands and said, "We admit defeat. Captain."


    Only then did the feeling of being locked on finally end. You Xi Wang walked over dragging the knocked out sniper. He saw that these people were all resting. So he snorted. All of them stood in a queue neatly after his snort. You Xi Wang spoke, "Now listen up. Our team will follow some rules, and If these rules are defied even once then the offender can leave to nevere back. Do you all understand?"


    The teammates all looked at this boy. They all were now convinced with hisbat prowess. They spoke, "Yes, captain."


    You Xi Wang said, "Starting tomorrow, we all will gather at the city gate. We will jog back here. We all will carry 3 tons of Lithical Iron blocks on our backs. This exercise has some rules. The first rule, no one gets left behind. Second, if you think someone cannot keep up, support him. Third and most important rule. All of our breathing must match with each other. If I sensed any looseness. You all will regret it from the depth of your hearts."


    The teammates all nodded and no one daring to resist the decision. They were very well aware of the demon hidden inside this handsome boy. You Xi Wang pointed at those who were knocked out and said, "An, you tell them all about what I just said when they wake up."


    "Yes," An replied.


    You Xi Wang looked at Yuki, Snow, and You Zhichi, "You three are proficient in water attribute so you guys will be indispensable for our team regardless of the domain we are thrown in. Look after each other inside. Also, just to make sure that people are strong enough to survive inside. The team will conduct a one-on-one battle test. This will give the reserved people a better chance and also allow us to only take our best people in the group battle."


    He thought of something and looked at Adonis on the side. he said, "Instructor, we will all wear those stealth battle suits. We hide our details, such as gender and face. It will help us in the solo battle fest. Also, ask them to not publish our information list as we just suffered a dark dweller raid. They should be sensible to understand that it is a matter of security. Can you talk to the principal to convince the council official about this matter?"


    Adonis held his chin in his hand and nodded after a bit. He said, "Student You Xi Wang, I know what you mean and I will try my best to get this done."


    You Xi Wang nodded then he spoke to Neo and others of the blunt weapon club members, "Neo, you are grinding them. Their sense of team y is weak, it needs work. You are a blunt weapon expert on my team, so you handle this. Okay?"


    Neo nodded and said, "Yes, captain." then he patted his chest.


    You Xi Wang looked at the gunner, "You guys need to read books on battle formations. Go, find teacher Maddison, and start learning from her in these few days. Also, everyone read books rted to medicines, survival, weapon maintenance, and also team mentality. Okay?"


    They all said, "YES."


    They were dismissed by You Xi Wang after giving them a few more instructions. He had tampered this time starting tomorrow morning. What he wanted to achieve a battle unit. A unit, so scary that it can kill cultivators even two realms higher than them. This was just the first step. He will achieve that even if he has to break these people into pieces. Even if it was his sister, if it can help her grow more strong by doing training ording to his n then it is worth it.


    Next, he nned to ask his aunt Chen Qianbei if the team can train in the Chen family. The Chen Family had some strong masters who will guide them. They were people retired from the defense forces. The team y was the weak point of this team and they will be the perfect people to knead in the values of teamwork in the team. You Xi Wang said to Adonis, "Instructor, can the team go out for training?"


    Adonis was surprised, and asked, "Where do you want to go? If it is a dangerous ce in the wild, the school would not allow that."


    You Xi Wang replied, "No, I want us to learn from the Chen Family of ke City."


    Adonis eximed, "You mean the SNOWSTORM FAMILY?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Yes."


    Adonis spoke, "How do you know the Chen Family?"


    You Xi Wang gave him a nk look but his sister said, "My mom was the eldest miss of the Chen family. Our aunt is the matriarch of the Chen Family."


    Adonis looked at them with shock in his eyes and said, "No wonder you two are such monsters. It is in your blood brats." shaking his head he said, "Okay, I will ask the principal, you will get the answer by tomorrow."

 Chapter 138: Monster.

    Chapter 138: Monster.


    You Xi Wang dealt with some matters of the team, and then he took his sister back home. The siblings rode Lev-Bike, while You Zhichi held Maya in her arms. She spoke, "Bro, did you put Uncle Gerrard up to something. He is so busy these days."


    You Xi Wang chuckled in the front, he replied, "Big sis, I set his four subordinates up to a task. Also asked them to not leak any information to anyone other than Uncle Gerrard."


    You Zhichi spoke with a suspicious tone, "Not to leak the news to anyone? Not even me? Brat, you tell me what storm are you studying this time? The whole Metropia is slowly getting used to Metro-frame. The amount of people who want to work with us is piling up daily. Tell me, what is it this time?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Changing the face of vehicles as we know. Also, introduce another sport to the fanatics of Metropia. A sport that will be the paradise for adrenaline junkies. It will also help reduce the number of people turning to the dark side."


    You Zhichi was puzzled by this statement she asked, "How will a sport reduce the number of people turning to the dark side?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "The people turn to dark because they do not see hope in this stagnated world. The purpose of sports is to give them all one more excuse to not give in to despair. This has to be sudden slowly. Otherwise, if those scum on the top of the shadow council will ruin it."


    You Zhichi focused her gaze on the back of her younger brother. She leaned on his back and said, "Mom will be proud to see you grow up like this, gougou."


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile on his face, "Well, it would be nice for sure. But I think she can still see me from the above, no? Also, guess what dad would say if he hears you speak so well of me."


    Both of the siblings spoke in unison, "Are you sure you are talking about my son?" And then they both startedughing. They started recalling all the funny and happy memories they had with their parents. They did not even realize it when they reached home.


    Theirughter also attracted a lot of gazes and relieved smiles from the family. They were all worried about this pair of kids. The trauma in the mind of children suddenly losing their parents is not something they can imagine. They were relieved to see them in such a cheerful mood. You Xi Wang took a bath and changed his clothes. Then he spent his time mingling with the family. Visiting aunts and uncles. Pranking cousin brothers and granny Xin. He was seen running from granny Xin, who was carrying a steel stick to beat this boy. Though she could catch up with him, it was for fun and joy.


    During the dinner, You Xi Wang broke the news that he will take his team to train with the Chen family. He will also take Celestia, Lily, and Jojo with him. That is to allow young kids to experience the world and gain knowledge. The family agreed with him. The three children were jumping with joy and those who did not get to go were coaxed by You Xi Wang that he will take them next time. He also promised them, and the little devils let him go. To take care of the kids, three trusted servants were also assigned.


    You Xi Wang called Fenny and asked her to pack her bags. Fenny did not take part in the tournament. Her spot was already reserved as the technology consultant of the team. He was assured that the school will agree because of Adonis''s guarantee. He found that Susan visited him. The two of them spent little time with each other, so the two spent a night together. They hugged each other to sleep.


    The next morning, You Xi Wang and You Zhichi boarded a car with Robert and waited for the team to gather at the entrance of the City. It was so early that even the sun has not risen in the sky. You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were the captains and the vice-captain of the team respectively, so the team. They intended to lead with example. They did not wait for over five minutes when 13 people arrived. They all came in groups, car pulling. Yuki was dropped by Takeshi Kinben.


    You Xi Wang definitely had to greet his future father-inw. Takeshi Kinben was full of praises for You Xi Wang. He was aware of his spoils in thest Dark Dwellers raid. Yuki was also thrilled to see her father praising her boyfriend. Takeshi Kinben waited for Adonis to arrive and watch over them to practice. Adonis also arrived soon. He apologized to the guardians of the students for his dy. The reason was that he had to visit the hospital to meet his wife, who was a nurse there.


    Takeshi Kinben wanted to leave, but You Xi Wang said, "Father-inw, why don''t you stay? You can watch our training and also give us some tips."


    Takeshi Kinben thought for a while and nodded. The kids all took out 3 tons of lithical iron tes and carried them on their backs, tied some smaller ones on their legs and waist. Lithical Iron was one of the heaviest and the most sturdy metals found in this world. It was so dense that a one-inch long piece weighted one kilogram. After tying up the weights, they all stood in a queue facing You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang shouted, "The run will be three hours long. Be mindful about conserving energy and matching your pace with me. Are you all ready?"


    "Ready." they all shouted loudly.


    You Xi Wang nodded and turned around. He took a step forward, and the others followed. He did not remind them to match their breathing with his. His teammates although did not even need a reminder. They knew that You Xi Wang was going to make these people crawl by the end of this run. Including his own big sister, You Zhichi. These people did not know that either this handsome devil won''t practice or when he does, it will be a fucking, hell mode.


    The run started as a walk, then after fifty meters, You Xi Wang broke into a full sprint. The people were all cultivators so they could handle this. They all ran in a sprint behind him. Another hundred meters and he slowed down to jog. Then again, a sprint for a hundred meters, followed by a fast walk. after one hour the people were sweating like pigs. Every one of them wanted to cut off their legs and throw them to kingdome. But how could You Xi Wang let them realize such a wish? He turned to face them and jogged in reverse. The people looked at him with weird gazes. You Zhichi tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and asked, "Do we run in reverse?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "No, I just wanted to see if you weaklings are good enough to hold on."


    Everyone felt ashamed and angry. They wanted to curse but You Xi Wang spoke, "Weaklings may not protest. They are just allowed to lie down and rot in the ground. Do you want to curse me? Do you want me to take back my words?"


    They all spoke in unison, "YES"


    You Xi Wang, spoke even louder, "THAN GET YOUR ASS MOVING. COMPLETE THIS RUN AND IF YOU CAN STILL STAND THEN YOU CAN THINK ABOUT CURSING ME."


    Adonis wanted to stop him, but Takeshi Kinben shook his head to stop him from intervening. Adonis and Takeshi fell back at a distance.


    Adonis spoke, "Captain, long time no see."


    Takeshi Kinben gave him a teasing smile and said, "Doni, you better not reveal that you are my subordinate. You lost miserably to my Son-inw. How does it feel?"


    Adonis, the little muscle mountain, blushed and said, "Captain, who knew that this brat is a monster beneath that pretty face. I was still thinking that he will hold back in the training for the sake of his sister, but now. He even called her a weakling."


    Takeshi Kinben smiled and said, "A leader who is soft to his subordinates in training is only leading them to death. The students all know that his strength gives him the capital to be arrogant. That is why they can only suffer this humiliation. Only when people suffer humility will they grow. Their temperament is still not good enough. You Xi Wang is a monsterpared to them. It is as if this guy has seen a lot of things in his little life. I can not see through him at all."


    Adonis nodded, "Yes, I also cannot see through him. I wonder if it is because he suffered the loss of his parents."


    Takeshi Kinben said, "Only, God knows that, but yes one thing is for sure. This boy is a monster, and the training is going to be a hell for them all."


    You Xi Wang led the team on the sidewalks in front. The pattern of sprinting and jogging continued, disregarding the condition of the rest. You Xi Wang spoke without turning back, "What do you all think of me?"


    They all roared, "Monster."


    You Xi Wang smirked and said, "Then get ready, I will show you what a monster really is."

 Chapter 139: Hell Mode.

    Chapter 139: Hell Mode.


    You Xi Wang led the thirteen people back to school by road as they carried heavyweights on their bodies. Ten people fell in the second hour of the run. You Zhichi, Neo, Rafael, and Lina were the only ones who still kept up with the monster in front. Neo was powered by his will while the other three were core formation realm cultivators. Those who fell had to witness a smirk on his face. Yuki and An somehow stood up and kept running. The others were also tired, but their pace was very slow.


    One guy is called Hercules. The one who was flung over the shoulder in the match the day before even used You Xi Wang of wearing lesser weight than the others. But the truth was the opposite. You Xi Wang was carrying five tons of weight over his body. They were all shocked. They asked how was he so strong? You Xi Wang replied, "Because I do not give up. I was born with narrow meridians, so I put more effort in refining my physique." to his surprise, this lie even worked for them.


    Only Yuki, Neo, An, and You Zhichi knew that it is because he is proficient in five elements that he can carry so much weight and still run at a carefree and irregr pace. The motive of this run was to know the extent of strength, will, and flexibility of these guys. With this data, they can form a better n in the future. Although Lina and Rafael did witness him blowing up that ''nightmare'' they were told that You Xi Wang used a prototype spirit bomb.These two also asked little after that.


    When the group was ten kilometers away from school. You Xi Wang started sprinting. Everyone thought that he would again change the paceter, but this monster did not do any such things. You Zhichi was the strongest among them. She fell a hundred meters before they reached the school gate. She had no energy left inside her. You Xi Wang carried her on his back. No matter how strong he was, it was still his sister. The two waited for the others to arrive. You Zhichi sat down on the ground and started meditating.


    Takeshi Kinben and Adonis arrived with other students at the school gate, and You Zhichi also woke up. The two seniors stood at a side, waited to see what kind of treatment You Xi Wang had in store for these people. The boy stood in front of all the people, just gave them a look. He turned around and said to Adonis, "Instructor, how about we take back the name from the battle fest?"


    Adonis was shocked. He was expecting something, but thisshing was too strong. Still, he followed along, "Yes, I also think we should take back the name. If we were to represent the city in such a state, then I think we will only invite mockery from the others."


    Every one student looked down in shame. Whether it was Snow, Yuki, An, Hercules, Neo, Damon, Rafael, and so on. But they all noticed one thing when they looked down. You Xi Wang''s legs were slightly shivering. They all opened their eyes wide. This guy was obviously tired, but he did not show it on his face and did not let it affect his actions. They all felt a fire spark up inside their heart. Their every expression was right now monitored by Takeshi Kinben. You Xi Wang had asked him to watch them via text from his Holo-Phone. He did this when they were running back.


    Takeshi Kinben spoke, "You Xi Wang, give them another chance. They are all raw jades. Polishing them will take some patience and diligence. You can do it. Okay?"


    The students looked at Takeshi Kinben with grateful eyes. They wanted to ask this themselves but Takeshi Kinben took the lead, making it easier for them. Hercules spoke, "Captain, give us one more chance. We will not let you down."


    You Xi Wang said, "Don''t let me down? You better not yourself down. Do you think you can do anything for me when you cannot keep up with me? Only my sister was the one who kept up with me. She fell just a hundred meters away. That too, because her breath broke. Do you want a second chance? Good, get inside the gym and I will give you a second chance. Do not me me, but once you take a step inside, I will not let you leave until either youplete the routine or you fall into aa. Dare you to step in?"


    The people all spoke in unison, "Dare."


    You Xi Wang said, "Good." and led them to the gym, but not without winking to Takeshi Kinben. The team all stepped inside the gym. You Xi Wang took them all to the ce where arrays were setup. These arrays were all usable as long as the practitioner provide a spirit stone. The array in front of them was a nine realm array set up. He was familiar with this array and said, "If you all can beat the opponent one major realm higher than you. Then we will have a talk about that second chance. I will enter first." he put a spirit stone in the slot and stepped in. The screen outside the array lit up. They could all see how You Xi Wang tackled the first puppet.


    BANG! BANG!


    You Xi Wang and the puppet with fists confronted each other. The first puppet was defeated with ease. This array was just like the one at home. So You Xi Wang used White Tiger Fist and defeated the first stone puppet. Soon the second puppet activated and started fighting with You Xi Wang. This puppet used the palms to fight. You Xi Wang had a hard time with this one. As he was not proficient with palm attacks. He started observing the stone puppet while he parried its attacks. But soon he was defeated and had to retreat.


    He came out and said, "Get on with it. Decide who gets the first turn. The goal is at least the second puppet by the end of the day."


    He spoke and came to sit down on the side to meditate and reflect on the battle with the second puppet. the whole battle ran through his mind like a film. now and then he would hear the others say something about the battle. He did not bother with them and kept doing what he was doing. Unknowingly their practice caused a lot of sounds and attracted the attention of other students.


    Some students in the school came to see what was happening.


    They started speaking, "Hey, isn''t that Senior sister You? Why is she ying inside the array?"


    "I think this is their way to train themselves."


    A girl spoke, "Look, You Xi Wang is meditating there." she pointed towards the corner where the boy sat.


    Many students wondered why he was sitting there in silence? While some people said that the array was easy to break. The members of the battle fest team turned numb to all this nuisance. They suffered repeated defeat at the hands of the stone puppets. Some could get through the first one, but they were all stuck at the second puppet. They would all try again after some rest, but the progress was not very prominent.


    They were all stuck and the people on the sidelines mocked them. Hercules got irritated by this repeatedmenting. He retorted in a loud voice, "If you find it so easy, then why do you not try to show us how to get it done? huh?"


    The entire crowd turned silent, with no one daring to utter a sound. Do not undermine the authority of this person. He was a senior student of the sixth grade. He had his own reputation in the school. The strongest in the standards did not take part in the group stage of the battle fest as they were all reserved for the solopetition. Only You Zhichi was an exception as she was experienced with group survival and she can y a crucial role in the battle fest.


    You Xi Wang stood up and opened his eyes. He spoke, "Ignorance is bliss, Hercules. let them talk, you need to learn to avoid skirmishes and keep calm. Now my turn."


    Hercules sighed and calmed down. He turned to sit down and watched You Xi Wang step inside the array. The captain stepping in the second time made them wonder if he can break past the second level. This was also an opportunity for the melon-eaters (aka the crowd) to see if he can seed. If You Xi Wang broke through, then they would eat melons, and if he lost, then they will spit out the seeds on him.


    Would You Xi Wang care about these people? He was right now in training mode. The rest of the world was unrted to him. He inserted a spirit stone inside the slot and stepped inside the array.


    The light curtain formed and the screen outside showed the situation inside. Everyone saw the first stone puppet and You Xi Wang both moving towards each other. You Xi Wang threw a punch to intercept the punch from the puppet.

 Chapter 140: Nine-Folds Dragon Palm.

    Chapter 140: Nine-Folds Dragon Palm.


    Everyone trained their gaze on the screen. They wanted to see what capability You Xi Wang had to boast in such a manner. The formation started and the stone puppet started the attack. It was the first stone puppet. You Xi Wang had already squeezed everything from this puppet. He did not want to waste any more time. He put his left foot forward, lowered his center of gravity. His torso slightly facing left. He balled up his fisted, and he closed his eyes.


    The stone puppet moved fast. The crowd outside still thought that You Xi Wang was still mystifying the scene. They all spoke in whispers. Not daring to speak out loud. They were afraid that Hercules might fly off the handle and gift him a couple of fractures. Although medical facilities can cure fractures in a matter of seconds. The sensation caused by broken bones is still painful. No one in their right mind would like to go through it.


    They all focused on the screen again. The sight in front of them made them drop their jaws and take a step back in fright. You Xi Wang stood with his eyes open and his aura turned wild like a tiger. He threw his fist to meet the stone puppet.


    BANG!


    A loud sound echoed through the gym. The stone puppet was sted back by three meters before it came to a stop. The people outside were shocked. Neo had his eyes fixed on the screen and asked, "Big sister Zhichi, what technique is this?"


    You Zhichi smiled and said, "That is our family technique, Wild Tiger Fist. He has been trying to learn that for a long time. He was only sessful only a few days ago."


    Neo nodded and said with a wry smile, "Why is he such a monster?"


    Yuki kicked him in the butt and threatened him, "Do you want me to beat you blue, Neo? Don''t scold my Xi Wang."


    Neo could only look at An, who turned his head away. Neo said, "Big Bro An, you are a traitor."


    An smiled and said, "I can''t offend my sister Yu for you, boy. Traitor I am." the four people acted normal and their behavior deepened their shock. They just discovered thatck of strength limited their view.


    ...


    Inside the formation, You Xi Wang exhaled and the wild aura dissipated. He took back his stance and waited for the second puppet toe. The second stone puppet was quick to react. It was on to You Xi Wang in a blink of an eye. You Xi Wang was ready to intercept the attack. He stood there with his back straight like a spear. The stone puppet threw his palms at You Xi Wang. The boy countered with the palm attacks of his own.


    BANG! BANG!


    The loud sounds reverberated throughout the gym. The people outside were all bound to the scene. A stone puppet and a human exchanging hits in session. Their momentum piled up the stone puppet broke increased the pace of his attacks. The stone palms carried a majesty. You Xi Wang vaguely heard some dragon roars. He closed his eyes and his breath turned very shallow. His aura changed again. He enforced his shoulder, back, arms, hips, and legs with five elemental spirit energy.


    Heunched his own palm. The people outside heard a dragon roar. They were all shocked, and this time the people in the ''shocked me to death list'' had five more names. You Zhichi, Yuki, Neo, An, and Snow.


    These five people did not expect You Xi Wang to grasp this in one attempt. They all exchanged nces, feeling how stupid they were. They again focused on the inside of the array formation. The battle was still going on. You Xi Wang exchanged palms with the stone puppet. He was thinking to himself, ''The secret of this move hides in the majesty''s manifestation of a dragon. I do not know how a dragon''s majesty seems to be. How could I produce a higher intensity?''


    You Xi Wang kept thinking as he countered the attacks. Suddenly his eyes shone with a spark of joy and he smiled. On the screen outside, his smile was noticed by them all. This smile set off a wave of murmurs inside.


    "What is he so happy about?" a student spoke out loud.


    Another boy replied to him, "I don''t have an idea. Someone, ask his teammates."


    A girl mustered up some courage and shouted, ''Senior sister Zhichi, what is junior brother Xi Wang is so happy about?"


    You Zhichi gave her a wry smile and said, "This boy is about to shatter our world views."


    Everyone was surprised. They wanted to continue asking when the change in aura was sensed by them. They all focused on the battle again You Xi Wang did not explode with umted aura to counter the stone puppet. He used Taichi to diffuse the stone puppet''s move. To parry it. He kept on umting momentum and the battle continued. This whole process was repeated nine times. The aura explosion from the puppet was also getting stronger with every cycle. You Xi Wang was ready before the stone puppet could explode he emitted the aura he had umted.


    ROAR!


    A loud dragon roar sounded throughout the academy. Everyone present on the premises was rmed. The principal and the deans of the halls all gathered at the gym, the source of the roar. They all exchanged nces and nodded. They entered the gym and were surprised when they saw all the students standing there with a shocked face. They followed their gazes and found that inside the array You Xi Wang stood with his palm extended outwards.


    A vague outline of a golden dragon was formed behind him in the air, and it was this dragon that caused themotion. They heard a voice speak, "Ninefold Dragon Palm."


    The dragon flew forward, colliding head-on with the stone puppet. As the two entities collided, a golden glow erupted. Everyone closed their eyes, even the higher-ups of the school. When the glow dissipated, they opened their eyes to see that the stone puppet was ten meters away from You Xi Wang and two clear grooves could be seen on the ground. It was evident that You Xi Wang won this confrontation. He also figured out the hidden technique in the array.


    He did not want to face the third stone puppet and came out of the array under everyone''s stunned gazes. He came and sat down next to his sister. He said, "Momentum umtion." and with these two words, he closed his eyes and went back toprehend the gains of this battle.


    You Zhichi looked at her brother and saw that his arms and back were a bit swollen from the impact of the aura sts. Yet he kept on fighting without giving up. She nodded and tussled his hair a little. She stood up and said to the people of the team, "You all are aware now, let''s get it done and go home."


    Everyone nodded and said in a loud voice, "Yes, Vice-captain."


    Hercules took the first turn and after a hard battle, he almost won. The team kept on fighting and after three attempts You Zhichi won, followed by Snow. Yuki, Neo, and An could also win. They did notprehend the secret of umting momentum like You Xi Wang, but integrated it into their own skills. This was the most suitable way. Adonis was watching from the side, and he was thrilled with the growth of the team. Takeshi had left in the middle.


    The principal and the deans also expressed their satisfaction with a smile and left. The whole team couldplete the task a few minutes before the school was finished for the day. When they came out of the gym, they saw the students who mocked them earlier did not leave but they stood together blocking their way. Hercules was following behind You Xi Wang like a henchman. He was about to run inside the crowd and tear them up when he recalled what You Xi Wang said earlier.


    A female student came forward from the group and bow to the team. It was a proper 90-degree bow. She said in a loud voice, "Junior brother You Xi Wang, I apologize for mocking you and the team. You guys are training so hard to win glory for us while we are still trying to find ws in you. We apologize to you."


    Behind her, the whole group of students also bowed down. They all spoke in unison, "We apologize to the team."


    You Xi Wang asked them to stand up and said, "It''s not a big deal. You guys stand up. Don''t forget toe and cheer up for us in the battle fest. Although I guess the survival round could not be watched." he then put on a sheepishugh and scratched the back of his head. His handsome, goofy appearance made a lot of female hearts flutter. Their thoughts of approach were mercilessly ughtered by Yuki who came forward and took You Xi Wang''s hand as if dering her territory.


    You Xi Wang turned a blind eye to the female fans and led his team to the principal office to receive the order, allowing them to go out for training.

 Chapter 141: Arrangement.

    Chapter 141: Arrangement.


    You Xi Wang and the team came to the door of the principal''s office. He raised his hand and knocked on the mahogany door twice.


    KNOCK KNOCK.


    William Trevor spoke from the other side, "Come in."


    You Xi Wang pushed the door and entered the room. The rest of the team stood outside the room, waiting patiently.


    ...


    "Good evening, sir." You Xi Wang stood across the table and greeted the principal.


    William Trevor nced at the boy standing in front of him. He nodded and spoke with a slight smile on his face, "Student You Xi Wang, have a seat."


    You Xi Wang nodded and sat down in front of William. His actions were smooth, neither clumsy neither too arrogant. William nodded, he asked, "I along with the elders in the school, witnessed you using the nine-fold technique. Although it was a magnificent disy, I want to tell you you should not use this technique for prolonged periods. This technique can leave umted trauma, which will affect your growth in the future."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Junior understands, thank you for the advice, I will keep it in my mind."


    William Trevor nodded and said, "The elders of the several halls are already fighting over which hall you will join in the future."


    You Xi Wang slightly smiled but did not answer. William Trevor tweaked with the screen on his table and You Xi Wang felt a buzz on his wrist. IT was the notification after he received the permission ticket to leave the school for training. The same thing was also sent to every member of the team. You Xi Wang spoke, "Sir, if there is nothing else then I should take my leave. I have some arrangements to make."


    William Trevor nodded and said, "Okay, you may leave. Take care of the team and also remember do not to overwork yourselves. Rest and work go hand in hand."


    You Xi Wang nodded and stood up from his chair. He greeted William and left the room. After he came out, the whole team came in to greet the principal. They all came out and gathered together. You Xi Wang said, "I want you all toe to my house tonight. We are leaving tonight. I don''t wish to waste time. If you have any problems, then talk now."


    They had already informed their parents and thus they were all ready. They said, "NO PROBLEM, SIR."


    You Xi Wang nodded and departed with his sister. They reached home quickly and headed to their rooms toplete packing. You Xi Wang simply took three battle suits and some of his shirts and jeans with a pair of shoes. He was a boy and did not have many requirements. He kept all the things inside his space ring. Just when he was about to call Petra and Gerrard, the door of his room opened.


    Celestia ran in, holding a little pile of dresses in her hand. Her muffled voice sounded, "Big Brother, tell me which clothes do I select? Granny said that it will be cold there. I don''t have warm clothes. What to do?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and smiled, "We can buy new clothes for the trip, little fairy." he took over the pile of clothing from her small hands. Then he bent down and picked up the girl. He said, "How about we go shopping, with a friend of mine?"


    Celestia nodded like a chick eating grain. The little girl was so excited that she pecked his cheeks twice. You Xi Wang carried her in his arms and exited his room. He called Petra while he was on the way to the parking.


    The call connected and a smiling Petra emerged in front of him. He asked, "Are you at work, Love?"


    Petra blushed and said, "No, just finished for the day. What is it, Honey?" she stuck out her pink tongue after she finished speaking.


    You Xi Wang replied after he was tugged by Celestia in his arm, "I have to take my sister to buy some woolen clothes. So I was asking if you can apany us?"


    Petra replied, "Okay, I will be d. How about we meet at GRANDEUR SHOPPING CENTER?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and asked Robert to drive them to the agreed location. As the vehicle started moving, You Xi Wang took the opportunity to call Gerrard and asked him to deal with the acquisition of the Mag-Lev manufacturingpany. He also called Ste and told her to help Gerrard while he is away. He also told them he would try to finish as much work as possible remotely.


    Ste wished him safe training, and the call disconnected. He deboarded the Mag-Lev and held Celestia''s hand. They both were followed by Robert. This guy was a bodyguard as well, so don''t get it wrong. You Xi Wang looked around to see if Petra had arrived. He felt a hand on his shoulders. Turning around, he found Petra standing behind him with a beautiful smile on her face. She said, "Sorry, I waste."


    You Xi Wang said, "No, we also just arrived." he then pointed towards Celestia to made the introductions, "This is my lovely little sister, Celestia." then pointed towards Petra and spoke to Celestia, "Celes, this is your sister-inw"


    Petra smiled with a blush, feeling happy. Then she took Celestia''s little hand and said, "Hello, Celestia." the little girl was stunned by this pretty smile and said, "Big sister, you are so pretty."


    Petra giggled and said, "You are also beautiful."


    Celestia looked at You Xi Wang, "Big Brother, when will we shop? Big Sister said we need to get back home early."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile and held one of her hands while Petra held the other hand. Celestia was very happy when You Xi Wang and Petra selected a lot of woolen dresses for her. She enjoyed spending time with these people. They took her in and gave her a home. Then they provided her with good food, a loving environment. Although she had not forgotten her own family, she had epted this foster family of hers as her own.


    The three people bought a lot of clothes for Celestia. They then grabbed some snacks before ending the trip. Robert took Celestia to the vehicle while You Xi Wang grabbed Petra''s hand and bought her a dress. Petra liked it very much and as a thoughtful woman, she helped him select a few more dresses for her other sisters. You Xi Wang also bought some jewelry for thedies in his family. All this money was from the profit he earned from Metro-frame. He held Petra''s bags in his hands and walked to her car. Petra had alreadye to know that You Xi Wang was going to his maternal grandparents to train for the uing battle fest.


    She was a bit reluctant to let him go, but she knew that it was necessary. She did not want to be an obstacle to the man she loved. So she wished him well and was about to sit down in her vehicle. A hand wrapped around her willow waist from behind her. She felt a warm breath against her nape. Then You Xi Wang said, "I will be back soon. Don''t worry."


    Petra turned around in his arms and locked eyes with him. You Xi Wang did not hesitate and kissed her gently. They broke away after a few seconds. You Xi Wang gently tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "Take care of yourself for me, Okay? You can also call me daily."


    Petra hummed and hugged him for a brief period. Then she broke away. You Xi Wang helped her inside the vehicle and watch her leave the parking. Then he walked back to his own vehicle and saw Celestia ying with some new toys in the back seat. The vehicle returned to You family mansion filled with the little girl''s chirping talks.


    At home, You Zhichi was attending to the members of the battle fest team. She was notified by Emily that her brother is back and asked for every family member toe to the gathering hall. She excused herself from the team members and headed towards the gathering hall. Yuki and Susan took on the role of the hostess as You Xi Wang''s girlfriend.


    ...


    Inside the gathering hall, You Xi Wang was presenting gifts to everydy in the family. This made his grandfathers, uncles, and cousin brothers to feel bitter in their hearts. You Xi Wang sensed this and said, "Men should dress with bravery and essorize themselves with responsibilities. I leave you all with the responsibility of the family. Keep on hunting and infiltrating the dark dwellers in society. Even if you have to slow down your pace. Make sure you do not leave any traces. Do you understand?"


    The men had their spirits fired up. They shouted, "YES, YOUNG MASTER."


    With these words, he dismissed the gathering, and they waited for their family airship to arrive and take them to the Chen Family.

 Chapter 142: The Pursuit Of Happiness.

    Chapter 142: The Pursuit Of Happiness.


    The group of people stood on a pier-like structure on the top of You Family mansion. Yup, you heard that right. They have a pier in their house. The reason behind this structure is that they are simply rich enough to get a permit and also afford the maintenance of this thing. The pier was extended out from the balcony of the mansion. You Xi Wang was talking to his cousins about some things they need to be careful of while hunting dark dwellers.


    The elders were also gathered to bid him farewell. In the past, it was not this grand, but now things have changed. This boy is now the master of the family, plus the fact that the family loves him very much. {I tell you guys, Youngest in a generation are a bit too much pampered.} You Zhichi was also treated with much affection by her elder cousins. Xia Xue put her hand on You Zhichi''s head and said, "Xiao Chi, don''t worry too much. Be careful while training, okay?"


    You Zhichi nodded with a smile on her lips. She hugged her grandmother and was about to say something when she heard her brother, "Grandma, you are so smart. I have told her so many times not to worry but when does she ever listen to me? She wants to look like an old hag with wrinkles. Just like a certain someone in our family."


    Thedies all smiled and next a pair of jade fingers grabbed You Xi Wang''s ears. It was You Naixin, who heard his words and grabbed his ear. She spoke, "Brat if you bully our princess then I will kick your butt. Also, who is the certain someone, you speak of?"


    You Xi Wang smiled dazzlingly and hugged You Naixin. He said, "Why do you always think I am talking in a bad way, Granny. What I mean is very simple. Someone in our family is always worried about the family and the people in the household. Do you not worry about us all the time? Is there anyone who is more loving and caring than you in our family?"


    Some cousins also spoke, "Yes, he is right. Granny Xin is the best."


    "Long Live Granny Xin."


    You Naixin smiled at this. She was happy hearing this. From the bottom of her heart. She said, "Humph, looks like my love on you pipsqueak is not wasted."


    Lily shook her head and said in a bell-like voice, "Granny, Xixi is coaxing you to avoid your punishment. He called you a wrinkly old hag, indirectly."


    You Xi Wang had already escaped by the time this reached You Naixin''s ears. It was like a volcano is about to burst. He spoke, "In my absence, all the things in the family are decided by my Granny Xin. She is the acting-master of the family. See her as you would see me. Understood?"


    "<strong>YES YOUNG MASTER</strong>."


    The team members standing on the pier were surprised to hear such a roar. They finally understood You Xi Wang''s majesty. Suddenly a blue giant airship appeared in the sky in front of them. The airship was magnificent. It looked like a canon. The whole ship was 200 meters long and 20 meters high. The airship was equipped with a state of art stealth system. Heavy artillery canon systems and emergency escape pods. You Family may sound small but that is only because these people prefer to stay low key otherwise they might buy out the whole City. Tianlong Technologies is just a new businesspany that was established by You Liangxin on his own. If you were to discover the empire this family has, people might not dare to approach You Xi Wang, let alone hitting on You Zhichi.


    This airship was exclusive to the master of the family. In the past, You Liangxin used this airship to take his family on vacations. Imagine the splendor of these guys. This ship used 8 ionic turbine engines to fly. The power source of this ship was a 10-ton spirit stone. It was actually formed bybining too many little spirit stones. Inside this ship were 25 luxurious cabins along with 30 bathrooms. The bathrooms came with a jacuzzi. There was one gathering area, two observation decks. One cockpit and 20 crew cabins. It was operated by a crew of 20 people. The airship did notnd but maneuvered in the air. The entrance hatch was on the side of the ship. The hatch slowly opened and a crew member controlled the panel on the side to dock the ship to the pier.


    With a muffled sound, the ship sessfully docked to the pier. The captain of the ship crew came out and greeted the elders of the family and You Xi Wang. You Zhichi first led the team members inside the ship. You Xi Wang searched the crowd and found Celestia standing beside Lily holding Maya in her arms. Lily was upset as she has never been away from her mother, and this time she will leave for 15 days. Celestia was also very attached to this family and did not feel as excited as she was earlier about going out. You Fengxian stood behind the two girls trying to coax them.


    You Xi Wang came towards the two girls and spoke with a smile after he squatted down, "Why are our two little pixies so upset? Do you not want to go?"


    The two girls wanted to go out but were hesitant to leave home. You Xi Wang said, "You two know that in order to grow even birds leave their nests. We are only going for a few days and wille back soon. If you two are brave, thene back wiser. Learn all you can and make your family proud. When you buy candy, you pay credits. This is just like that. To learn more, you have to go out for a few days. Plus, me and Big sis will be there with you no?"


    The two girls thought and finally, they held You Xi Wang''s arms. You Fengxian was about to speak when You Xi Wang spoke, "Don''t worry, Big Sis Xian. They are my treasures too. I will be careful." You Xi Wang picked up the two girls in his arms and smiled at the family. Then he walked to the ship with Jojo and Maya following on foot behind them. Maya did not like anyone to carry her except for You Xi Wang, but what can she do about Celestia? Her cuteness won over Maya every time. Still, the furred creature preferred to walk on her own whenever she gets a chance.


    The people boarded the crew and You Xi Wang waved at them from the window before the airship took off.


    ...


    Inside the airship, You Xi Wang saw everyone sitting on the couchesid in the gathering area. A voice sounded from the speaker system embedded in the ceiling, "<em>This is your captain speaking. We are about to take off so kindly remain in your ces. The crew will notify you when it is okay to move</em>."


    Though the ship''s operation was very smooth, the force of the initial thrust still affects the people inside. This warning from the captain was to avoid injuries by mistake. Everyone sat down on the couches and were talking with ease. You Xi Wang wanted to sit with Yuki but he was already taken by the two little pixies. They were holding his hands very tightly. The children were still a little awkward about the whole leaving thing, so You Xi Wang had to be with them. He started talking with the two girls after the ship took off. He had Maya in hisp and stroked her hair slowly as he was talking to the children.


    You Xi Wang taught the three kids some mind games, and the time started passing quickly. It was unknown when the three kids slipped into slumbend while trying to get one over each other in the mind games. The maids were about to carry them all to their rooms when Lily and Celestia woke up. They did not want to sleep in their rooms but with You Xi Wang.


    Yuki was watching all this from the side but she was not feeling any negative emotion instead. This woman was enjoying how You Xi Wang wanted to be with her but could not because of the kids. She sighed when she heard his mental message. She stood up and came to Celestia. She picked up the little girl in her hands and said, "Celes, is your big brother trying to make you sleep in a different room?"


    Celestia nodded. Yuki said, "How about I join you guys. Then he won''t be able to say no."


    Lily looked at Celestia and vice versa. The girls bobbed their heads up and down in agreement. It was now decided that You Xi Wang can enjoy some quality time with Yuki, but the enjoyment became PG rated. He helplessly took the three girls to his room. He tucked the two girls in and sat down on the side of the bed. Yuki was sitting on the other end of the bed with two little girls in between them.


    You Xi Wang decided not to give up the pursuit of his happiness and his brain worked at a high speed.

 Chapter 143: The Chen family.

    Chapter 143: The Chen family.


    You Xi Wang waited for the two girls to fall asleep. After an hour when he confirmed that the kids are asleep, he silently came to Yuki''s side. He scolded in her mind, ''This young Master has been waiting on you and you had the guts to fall asleep? Just you wait, Yuki.''


    He used his right hand to support Yuki''s neck, and his left hand slipped under her thighs. With little of an effort, he hoisted her feather-light body in the air. He was very careful in his actions and made sure not to wake up the sleeping beauty. He nced at the two girls and found they were sleeping. He sensed a gaze focused on his back. He turned back only to face Maya, looking at him as sheid on the bed beside Celestia. He can clearly sense the question in her eyes. He smiled and shook his head. Maya seemed to have understood his meaning and went back to sleep.


    These two people had developed such a deep connection that they can understand the other person''s heart with just a nce. She wanted to You Xi Wang whether she should follow him. But since he shook his head, it meant that he was not leaving the room. You Xi Wang took Yuki inside the bathroom attached to the room and closed the door. He used his toes to turn the switch. Soon, cold water flooded inside the bathtub. An evil smirk surfaced on his face. He did not hesitate and dropped Yuki from his arms to the bathtub filled with cold water.


    Yuki fell down with a slight ssh, and she woke up with a scream.


    "AHHH."


    You Xi Wangughed when he saw her hapless look. Though she looked very adorable and funny. Yuki turned to look at this boy standing on the side,ughing loudly. She could not think of anything else and pulled him inside the tub. You Xi Wang did not expect this reaction and was surprised. He fell inside the tub with a slight ssh. The two looked at each other and startedughing. It was unknown when they started kissing and wrapping around each other like snakes. Well, what can you do these things happen when you are young and exist inside the fantasy book?


    The two gradually calmed down and changed clothes. They then changed clothes and dried each other''s hair. The two came out andid down on the big bed. The two girls seemed to have sensed a familiar personying next to them so they snuggled closer to You Xi Wang. Yuki saw this and said, "They really love you, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang smiled as he caressed the girls and said, "I also love these little devils. You are aware of how I met Celestia. As for Lily. This little girl is much like my big sis. She was suffering from the pain of dark energy inside her body, yet she always hid it. They did not have anyone to share their pain with. While I used to be such a fuss. Always crying about trivial things. After my parents died. I wanted to be strong mainly because I wanted to exercise revenge but when I came across so many people, who did not give up and always moved forward, it changed me slowly. Celestia and Lily are among those people. That is why I do anything I can to make them feel happy."


    Yuki smiled without answering him. You Xi Wang had started to be happy with and for other people, which was a good change. In the past, he would never be jealous of others, but he would definitely not make efforts to make them happy on his own until those people are loved by him. This was also a reason they did not confess in the past. She did like You Xi Wang, but that was only because he saved her life twice and was a good-natured boy. These things were not enough. A man needs to be confident in front of a woman and You Xi Wang used to be a veryid back person. This changed on the night of that banquet. Not only did he propose to her, he took her to dance in front of everyone and also eliminated the pest She Congming.


    Also, how can she forget about the dress he designed for her and also the dance they performed on the ice rink? Then his caring attitude towards Celestia and her friend Chris. Taking in two strangers and giving them excellent conditions to grow up was very benevolent. Chris was living in Neo''s house. He was now legally adopted by Rivera, Neo''s mother. The boy''s bloodline was activated and is now growing strong.


    The four people fell asleep on a bed veryfortably. The Chen Family lived in the Frost City of the Blizzard sector of Metropia. This region was typically the d borders of Metropia. Any further into the Blizzard Sector was said to be uninhabited. It was impossible for people to survive there. There were two poles on Metropia, both frozen and scarcely inhabited. The Chen Family were descendants of a pioneer who was in charge of a prison here. That ancestor passed away, and the descendants were asked to go back. The descendants refused to leave because of filial piety. They settled in this deste region. They were elites and had made countless contributions to the world. The old generation of the family had all killed a lot of dark dwellers. Thus they earned the nickname of SNOWSTORM FAMILY.


    Though the Chen family sent their disciples to the maind for educational purposes, still they seldom went back by themselves. Chen Limao was also a student and after a strong fight, she met You Liangxin in her peril. The hunk of You Family was very charming and sessfully won over the beauty. Chen Limao would take her children to visit their grandparents and maternal family every year.


    It takes 8 hours in an airship to travel such a distance. Everyone knew that it was probably thest time they can rx before the training period ends. You Xi Wang had not yet said anything, but they knew inside their hearts. How could a monster like You Xi Wang make things easy for them? So they were also preparing themselves mentally. The time flew quickly, and the airship entered the Blizzard Sector. The weather became colder as the airship traveled deeper. The scenery also became monotonous. Tall ck mountains covered with a thick nket of snow. The ship traveled and came to a stop.


    ...


    In front of the ship, an old man stood in the air. He wore an ice-blue robe and had a long beard fluttering in the air. He may look old, but his back was straight. He spoke in a sonorous voice, "Identify yourself. This is the Chen family territory. Trespassers are not allowed."


    The airship deactivated the stealth functions and materialized in front of the old man. The old man was obviously a Primal Soul Realm master. The cockpit window opened and You Xi Wang poked his head out and spoke loudly, "Third Grandpa, are still going doing your, ''Thou shalt not pass.'' act."


    The old man was surprised when he heard this sentence. He focused his gaze at the head poking out from the cockpit window. He smiled and said, "Yound first, brat, and see how this old man will teach you."


    You Xi Wang stuck out his tongue with a smile on his face. He leaned back and closed the cockpit window. The airship moved forward and after another kilometer, a grand castle appeared in front of everyone who was standing on the observation deck. The castle was shiny and looked as if itprised ice, but in reality, the exteriorprised white marble, and the walls were coated with ayer of ss to make it look so shiny. This castle was the symbol of hegemony of the Frost City. The first family, the Chen family, also known as the snowstorm family. Their enemies shivered with fear when their name was mentioned, and the allies felt a cool breeze easing the heat from the world.


    The castle reminded You Xi Wang of a fairy-tale castle he often saw in the movies back on earth. He smiled when he spotted some people gathering near the pier. You Zhichi came and stood behind him. She said, "Do you think you can win this time?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Hoho, someone is confident? What trick do you have under your sleeve." he spoke in an amused manner.


    You Zhichi said, "That is a secret. Also, you naughty boy, don''t you dare to think you can win this time." she said with a sly smile on her face.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "We shall see. The loser will wear the paper hat saying ''I am a donkey'', deal?"


    You Zhichi grit her teeth and said, "Who is afraid of you? Deal. Just you wait, brat."


    The surrounding others were confused. It was apparent they werepeting over something, but they did not know what it was? Amidst the quibble of the siblings, the airship slowly maneuvered and docked to the pier of the Chen family castle.

 Chapter 144: Training Plan.

    Chapter 144: Training n.


    The airship docked to the pier and the entry hatch opened. You Xi Wang and You Zhichi stepped out of the ship with others in tow. Many people wearing woolen attires stood there. You Xi Wang waved at them as he approached with a quick step. He was rushing to give his aunt a hug, but he obstructed by a muscle mountain. The man grabbed the back of his jacket and lifted him up in the air. You Xi Wang said nothing just used Azure dragon step. The man looked surprised as he saw the empty jacket in his hands.


    "Hehehe... the third uncle, you have gotten slower. Is the old age catching up with you?" You Xi Wang teased the man. This man was the third and youngest brother of his mother. This man was called Chen Qiang. He was an initial primal soul realm cultivator. The Chen family second generation was better than You family, but that was because the people in this family were always contending with the dark forces and were tempered by constant bloodshed.


    Chen Qiang said, "Brat, do you really wish to get your butt frozen like a popsicle?" though this man had a scolding face, his tone was very warm.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I will tell grandma, you bullied me because you couldn''t catch me." there was a sly spark in his eyes. Chen Qiang wanted to scold him, but when he saw his elder sister ring at him. He shrunk back. This big man turned and held You Zhichi in his arms. He loved his nephew and niece just like his own kids. You Xi Wang hugged his aunt with a smile. He greeted the other people and some of his cousins who were gathered together. He turned to his uncle and said, "Uncle, I have brought my team here to train. Can you help me with their lodging and training?"


    Chen Qiang''s spirit immediately lit up. He said, "Don''t worry, I''ll make a man out of you kids."


    You Xi Wangughed while his teammates had chills running down their spines. Their captain was a devil and a good-looking one at that. Just when they were imagining what kind of torture they would have to go through. You Xi Wang said, "Don''t worry, uncle''s training is not suitable for everyone but Neo, Hercules is the exception. So you guys will start training with him in the evening. As for the others, your instructors wille soon as well. Yuki, youe with me."


    You siblings were loved a lot by the Chen family. Their mother was the beloved princess of the household, and her children were also loved. It is said that people love interest more than the principal. Some cousins used to feel insecure because of the two siblings. Though this feeling faded away as they grew up. Still, the siblings had some say in the family. They were all aware of the skills they both had. You Xi Wang now was the master of You Family. He was also the CEO of the Tianlong group. The Chen family had some shares in the business and also reaped good profits, which made them understand the caliber of this humble natured boy.


    Chen Qianbei arranged for some servants to help other people with their lodgings. She was about to turn around and lead You Xi Wang And his sister to meet the elders of the family, but then she spotted three little heads among the crowd looking a little nervous. You Xi Wang also followed her gaze and hurriedly came back to the three children. He squatted down and asked Jojo to hop on his shoulders as he grabbed the two girls in his arms. He grinned and said, "Why did the two of you not kept up with me?"


    The kids did not reply but smiled. These kids did not want to say that they were nervous. The cold in the region was a bit too much for these kids, so You Xi Wang circted fire element spiritual energy in his body and provided them with warmth. The pale faces instantly turned ruddy. You Xi Wang took them to meet Chen Qianbei. The matriarch of the Chen Family then took the six people and two beasts to the elder hall.


    The group entered the pce, suddenly the icy feeling vanished. You Xi Wang recalled that it was because of the venttion of this ce. This building used a special venttion system which allowed the temperature inside to be warmer than the outside. The boy thought to himself, ''Earth also had a cooling venttion system like this which needed no equipment support but some conditions were mandatory for it. This world really is a wonderful ce.''


    Just when he was lost in thought, they had reached the gathering hall of the Chen Family. You Xi Wang put down the children and asked them to be on their best behavior also not to speak until they are told to. The children were smart and nodded. Celestia and Lily still held the corners of his shirt. While Jojo held onto You Zhichi. Yuki was also nervous as she instinctively stood closer to You Xi Wang. Chen Qianbei nodded and pushed open the door of the gathering hall.


    A gust of cold air flowed out, hitting the children in the face. You Xi Wang formed a soul power shield to prevent them from getting cold. You Xi Wang looked at his aunt, who shook her head showing that she did not know. Sure enough, as soon as the door was pushed openpletely You Xi Wang and the others heard a loud voice, "Elder aunt is dead already, why are her children here again? Why did the second aunt agree to help them train? The frost city is also taking part in the battle fest. Is this not treacherous? That weakling from You family and his sister, the so-called Heavenly Maiden. It is just a facade. I am the future master of the Chen Family, but have you all ever showed such care to me?"


    You Xi Wang raised his cold eyes, focusing his vision on a tall burly young man standing in the center of the gathering hall. His body trembled a little, if not for the rtionship between him and this family. He would have tortured this man so much that he would never think about reincarnation in the world. He contained his anger because it was not good to be blind in anger.


    Chen Qianbei spoke in a cold voice, "Chen Kong, how dare you to raise your voice in the gathering hall?"


    The boy named Chen Kong fell silent, and he turned back to face Chen Qianbei. His eyes registered You Xi Wang and You Zhichi. He spotted Yuki and his eyes lit up. He spoke, "Why? Can I not speak of the grievances in my heart to my family? Also, why is this pair of orphans allowed to step inside Our Chen Family''s gathering hall? Do they not understand that the knot of the rtionship between their family and us, their mother, exploded in a car ident?"


    You Zhichi was enraged and was about to speak when You Xi Wang gave her a smile and shook his head. You Zhichi reined her anger. Chen Qianbei stepped up and walked to her throne she was asked by You Xi Wang to keep calm. You Xi Wang followed inside and nced at the elders. He could see that these people had their brows shivering in anger because of Chen Kong but they kept quiet because Chen Kong was an enforcer in the council and if they hurt him because he insulted them then it would not be enough.


    You Xi Wang bowed down to the elders, and the others followed. He spoke, "You Xi Wang has seen the elders. Hope you all have been well." there were three elders in the Chen Family. The first elder was You Xi Wang''s grandfather, Chen Shaoyang. The second elder, Chen Moqian, and the third elder, Chen Longxue. Chen Kong was the grandson of the third elder. The third elder was also irritated by this young boy who did not put the family in his eyes. Chen Kong noticed that You Xi Wang ignored him. He was enraged and said, "Do you not know that you should greet the member of the council? You Xi Wang? Or do you not put the council in your eyes?"


    You Xi Wang nced at him and said, "Do you not know that any council official cannot represent the council until they are a level 5 official? And from the badge on your uniform, you seem to be just a level one executioner. My father-inw is a level four execution, and my mother-inw also just got promoted to level five. Do you want to talk to them about the rules?" a ferocious counter from his mouth made Chen Kong''s face red in embarrassment. He thought this boy was just boasting, so he said, "Why not? I would like to see what can waste like you pull off."


    You Xi Wang said, "Yuki, please call mom and dad so that a certain someone can step down his high clouds."


    Yuki nodded and dialed her mother. The call connected and Ushijima Choma appeared. She seemed to get ready for work. Yuki spoke, "Mom if we see a level one council executioner do we have to bow to him even if we did nothing wrong?"


    Ushijima Choma looked at her daughter weirdly. She shook her head and said, "The council is made for the people. So why would the people have to act like that? If you see a council official above level five, then you should greet them, but that too depends on your own consent. There are no such mandates regarding this until and unless it is a formal event. Also, my daughter, you should know this already. Why do you ask me such a question?"


    Yuki smiled and shook her head, then she exined how Chen Kong was trying to pull his weight on them. Ushijima Choma told her daughter to point the camera towards this official. Yuki did as instructed and then Ushijima Choma asked Chen Kong, "Who is your superior? Which area are you posted in?"


    Chen Kong did not reply he stood there like a statue. He had spotted the badge on Ushijima Choma''s cor. These batches can not be duplicated because the technology to forge them was a top secret of the council. You Xi Wang spoke, "It''s okay mother-inw, I will ask him to be careful in the future. It may be because he is young that he spoke something like that to us."


    Ushijima Choma nodded and said, "Okay Xiao Wang, I''ll leave this matter to you. Also, send my regards to your grandparents."


    The call disconnected and You Xi Wang looked at Chen Kong, who stood there with his gritted teeth. Chen Kong wanted to leave the room, and he had only turned around when he heard a voice, "Pathetic trash, you only deserve to lick my shoes"


    Chen Kong stopped and nced at You Xi Wang''s figure and he vanished from his spot.

 Chapter 145: Collision.

    Chapter 145: Collision.


    Chen Kong''s figure vanished, and he appeared next to You Xi Wang in an instant. He took out his gun and stuck the muzzle to You Xi Wang''s forehead. Nobody reacted. Chen Qianbei, You Zhichi, Yuki, and Maya were all asked to not act. The threedies had full confidence in You Xi Wang. They followed the arrangement and other than showing a look of shock, they did not move. Maya bared her fangs at Chen Kong and growled the moment his figure flickered. The elders were shocked. The kids were scared pale; they did not expect such a thing to happen. The girls grabbed the helm of You Xi Wang''s shirt so tightly that their hands turned pale.


    Chen Qianbei spoke in a freezing voice, "Chen Kong, what is the meaning of this?"


    Chen Kong replied in a harsh manner, "You are asking me? This trash dared to stand in my family''s gathering hall and called me trash. Do you expect me to stay silent?"


    Chen Shaoyang spoke, "He did not speak a single word."


    Chen Kong was shocked he looked at his grandfather. Chen Longxue, this man was the person You Xi Wang met when their ship entered the area. He had a good rtionship with Chen Limao and always looked after her as his own daughter. He spent most of his life on the battlefield, and his son followed him. His son, and daughter-inw once foiled a big set-up of the dark dwellers at the price of their own life. Since then this brave man returned home to help the family. He pampered his only grandson a lot. Chen Kong showed good potential, but there was only one w in his nature. That was insecurity. This insecurity was not limited to You Xi Wang and his sister, but also to the other good young members of the family. He was the strongest and put a lot of effort in cultivation, not because he was diligent but because he was scared that someone might surpass him.


    This always worried Chen Longxue. As a senior cultivator he understood that if Chen Kong did not rectify his ws, he will develop a heart devil. This heart devil will make his cultivation stagnate for a long time. Now, facing today''s situation. He was thrilled that You Xi Wang, and You Zhichi came to visit the family, but when Chen Kong found out he deliberately made a fuss about it. He even dared to call the two children orphan in the face. This act was like bashing the face of the Chen Family.


    Chen Longxue spoke, "Chen Kong, you pointed a gun at your own rtive. You just said that the connection with You Family and your cousins should be cut off because your aunt is no more. Then how about I ask Xiao Bei to throw you out of the family as your parents also died and you are also an orphan."


    Chen Kong was shocked he did not expect his grandfather to use such heavy words to reprimand him. The words did not ease up the situation but deepened his hatred for You Xi Wang and his sister. He pressed the muzzle harder onto You Xi Wang''s temple and said, "You bloody trash, it is because of you that my grandpa wants to throw me out of my home. Your mother was the same. She went out of the family, yet she still did not stop manipting the household. Death in an explosion was too easy for her." he paused and roared, "IT''S GOOD THAT SHE DIED OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED HER WITH MY OWN HANDS. I WONDER IF SHE IS STILL MANIPULATING YOUR FATHER IN HELL."


    This sentence made people dazed. Nobody expected Chen Kong to be containing so much poison in his heart. You Xi Wang was calm even after hearing this but his gaze was getting colder and colder. Chen Shaoyang was about to erupt in rage, but Chen Longxue was even faster. He focused his killing intent on Chen Kong. His eyes brimmed with disappointment. The killing intent immobilized Chen Kong in his ce. You Xi Wang took the hand of the two girls and handed them to Yuki he spoke with a smile, "Lily, Celes, you two go with Yuki and Big sister Zhichi to meet grandma okay?"


    The two girls wanted to stay with him but they saw that although You Xi Wang was smiling his eyes were different they nodded. Celestia spoke in a tiny voice, "Big brother, you wille soon, right?" she had a feeling that he will leave her. You Xi Wang pecked her cheek and nodded. Lily also asked him to take care and You Xi Wang kissed her cheek. He stood up and spoke to the twodies, "Take them away."


    You Zhichi spoke, "I will send them to grandma but I am staying here. This is not up for negotiation." her tone was domineering. You Xi Wang just wanted her to be safe, but since she decided he did not object. Chen Qianbei said, "Yuki, dear, go outside the hall. I have arranged for a steward to take you to my mother."


    Yuki nodded and led the three children out of the hall. You Xi Wang gave Jojo a fist bump before going out. Jojo looked weak, but he believed men must be strong and he was strong. The three children went out of the hall under Yuki''s lead. At the door, Yuki gave You Xi Wang a look. You Xi Wang nodded to her with assurance and Yuki left. The door closed again, and the temperature dropped inside the hall very sharply. You Zhichi and You Xi Wang were the epicenters of this cold aura. The elders were surprised to see that the aura radiated from You Xi Wang was stronger than that from You Zhichi.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a cold and calm voice, "You filthy insect of darkness. You dared to insult my parents. If not for the tie of blood I hold with this family, I would have made you regret ever being born. Do you think you can fool everyone with this meager skill? What I find interesting is that you can sneak inside the council of Metropia." The elders had heard from Chen Qianbei about You Xi Wang''s perception capabilities. Suddenly the three elders felt a bad premonition rising inside them.


    Chen Moqian, the second elder of the family, finally could not keep quiet. This man was known as the wisest in the family, and he would rarely talk. Today was that rare day, "Xiao Wang, can you exin, what you just said?"


    You Xi Wang kept his gaze locked on Chen Kong and said, "Second grandpa, Chen Kong has sumbed to the dark side."


    This simple-sounding sentence was equal to a nuclear missile for the elders. The three of them stood up in shock. Chen Qianbei was equally shocked. Chen Longxue stopped emitting his killing intent under the shock and Chen Kong grasped this opportunity. He has heard what You Xi Wang said just now. At first, he was shocked but when You Xi Wang rified his words he was scared. He turned around wanting to run, but Maya appeared near his leg and bit his ankle with force. Chen Kong screamed and tried to shake away Maya. Because of his strength, Maya could not keep biting the ankle and was thrown away, but in an instant three Ice des condensed in the air and all of them were just a few millimeters away from his neck.


    Chen Kong had to stop otherwise. The ice des would prate his neck. Chen Longxue asked You Xi Wang in a stammering tone, "Xiao Wang, how sure are you? You know that this is not a joking matter."


    You Xi Wang cut the tip of his finger and said, "I swear on my blood that Chen Kong is a Dark Dweller." the reason he was so sure to make a blood oath was that during the period he was healing his soul he has grown more sensitive about the energy around him. He had sensed the darkness inside Chen Kong the moment this guy aimed his gun at him. The gun radiated a slight trace of dark energy contained inside it. You Xi Wang suspected his behavior when he saw him talking so savagely when the door opened. If it was just normal insecurity, it did not invite such poisonous words from Chen Kong.


    This person was the future patriarch of the Chen Family and his temperament had always beingposed. In the past, whenever he felt insecure. He would read sutras to focus himself and tame his mind. Chen Limao treated this man with the same kindness she treated You Xi Wang with so much hatred was not normal. This suspicion was confirmed when the gun touched his temple.


    The Chen Family elders were stunned by the sudden blood oath. They understood that what You Xi Wang said was true. Chen Longxue sat down in the chair as if his legs lost all the energy to support him. His back hunched, wrinkles appeared on his face. His appearance changed from vigorous to haggard in a few seconds. The impact of this truth was heartbreaking. Chen Shaoyang and Chen Moqian came to his side. Chen Qianbei also kept quiet. After sometime Chen Longxue raised his head and looked at Chen Kong. His eyes had no hope. The blood oath confirmed the usation. What else could he hope for?


    He spoke in a slow voice, "Kong, why did you fall to the dark side? Did you not used to say that you will kill all the dark dwellers? Then why have you be one of them? Do you not remember that your parents also died at their hands?" his eyes were reddening as he spoke. His brothers held his shoulders to show support.


    Chen Kong spoke with a sneer, "My parents died because they were weak. Why should I not follow the dark path? This path bought me such strength in such a short time. This path gave me the strength to surpass all my opponents, so why should I not pursue it?" his tone was getting excited as he spoke about the dark energy.


    Chen Longxue spoke, "Xiao Bei, deal with this ording to the housew. Also, call Kelly here. She needs to see this." he finally epted the truth. Kelly was his wife, and she was the grandmother of Chen Kong. Thedy was an iron-woman. A strong heart and a sharp brain. She used to be an opponent of Chen Longxue in the defense forces, but during a task, they both fell in love.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I would call my master over as well. He needs to know this." he dialed Alester Book with his Holo-Phone and exined the matter to the old man. The old man told him, he will be there in a few minutes.


    You Xi Wang never thought that his arrival here would set off such a storm. Deep in his heart, he was afraid of being hated by the Chen family for uncovering this truth and making them cost such a close family member.

 Chapter 146: Debt Of Life.

    Chapter 146: Debt Of Life.


    Inside the gathering hall of the Chen family now stood Chen Qianbei, the matriarch of the family. Chen Shaoyang, the first elder of the family, Chen Moqian, the second elder of the family, Chen Longxue, the third elder of the family. Apart from them, ady with brown hair and slightly tanned skin was also present. They all had painful expressions on their faces. Their eyes were focused on Chen Kong, who was surrounded by flying ice shards. You Zhichi took over subduing this guy as Maya was still a young beast and her power was not strong enough to be used for prolonged periods.


    You Xi Wang stood at the side with his sister. His gaze was trained at Chen Kong. Not even for a second did he take it off of him. The family elders were discussing how to deal with this guy when the space in the center of the gathering hall twisted. It twisted, and a figure walked out of it. The elders were shocked as they knew that people who can tear apart space were all Nirvana rebirth realm experts. They stood at the pinnacle of this world as the people in higher levels would not appear to deal with the mortal matters until it was necessary.


    You Xi Wang bowed to the man and said, "Disciple has seen master."


    Alester Book nodded to him with a light smile on his face. He waved his hand slightly, gesturing You Xi Wang to stand up. You Xi Wang bowed to this man because of the respect he had for him. During the raidst time, he saw You Xi Wang getting hurt and immediately took action. This was a great favor for the whole family and You Xi Wang acknowledged it.


    Alester Book nced at Chen Kong and his gaze turned cold. He waved his hand and the level-one emblem on his uniform flew off. The emblemnded straight on Alester Book''s palm. He then turned to face the Chen Family elders. Before he could say anything, all five people bowed to him and said, "Junior has seen senior."


    Alester Book nodded and said, "I have taken away his privilege of a level one executioner. His identity was discovered by You Xi Wang, so he is left to be dealt with by him. I understand how painful it might be to see him like this. He is still in the initial stages and for him to turne back from this road of peril. But the risk is very great as well. You might know it, right?"


    The elders nodded in understanding. You Xi Wang asked, "Master, do you mean that he cane back from the path of darkness?"


    Alester Book nodded and said, "In the Imperial Sector where the Council Headquarters is located. There is a special area. It is operated by the long lost religion of our, the Solidarity Monks. Their ways are a mystery to us even now. They have some methods to purify the dark thoughts and allow the person to return to righteousness."


    You Xi Wang lost his calm for a second and then asked, "Master, what is this risk you speak of?"


    Alester Book answered him patiently, "If the process is unsessful then the subject will lose himself to darkness and will be killed by the monks. But even if the process is sessful, the subject will have to live in that area for his whole life without contacting the outside world."


    You Xi Wang fell silent. He looked at the elders, who were confused about what to do. If they sent Chen Kong away, it would be like he is dead even if he is sessful in repenting his ways. You Xi Wang nced at his sister, who shook her head slightly. He knew now that killing Chen Kong would not be possible. He was also aware of the price this decision would cost him. He closed his eyes and sighed.


    He spoke, "Big sis, put away your spell." his words attracted everyone''s attention. You Xi Wang''s figure shed, and he appeared next to Chen Kong. He balled his fist and punched straight at his lower jaw. Chen Kong was not ready for this attack and his jaw broke. Though it can be curedter. The pain was unbearable. You Xi Wang moved quickly and tapped his acupressure points. This action sealed Chen Kong''s cultivation. You Xi Wang took a healing pill and with a reluctant smile, he fed it to Chen Kong. This was an inferior grade pill, only capable of healing Chen Kong''s injured ankle and easing the pain in his broken jaw.


    Everyone was confused by his actions. You Xi Wang spoke, "To be honest, the moment you insulted my mother I wanted to rip off your skin inch by inch. I wanted you to die so brutally that your soul would have shivered by just remembering the scene when you travel down the hell. Look at the faces of your elders standing there. Do you see the grief on their faces? Do you still think that they do not love you? Look at your grandfather, look at how you have weakened him in just a few minutes. Are you proud now? Have you ever thought about what will your parents think when they look at you from the heavens? No, you haven''t because you are enjoying being the insect in the gutters of darkness. Do you think darkness gave you power? You, piece of shit, if you were sincere with your practice the result would have been twice better, but no you had to feel insecure. You called me trash. Do you still have any sense of shame? Your parents died fighting darkness, your whole family is known for fighting darkness, yet you do this. Let alone others, you scum, your own prestige is so high at such a young age. I used to look up to you. I used to envy how you had awesome talent in martial arts. But you are just this? Pathetic swine, killing you is as easy as crushing a poisonous insect. You did all this so the family gives you attention? right? I now tell you that if you have the balls, then live in that area my master just mentioned and conquer this. You cannot be the master of this family because that throne is only reserved for winners while you pathetic junk, you are a loser. A loser who gave in to the darkness."


    You Xi Wang was panting by the time he finished speaking. He caught his breath and looked at the man sprawled on the floor, looking at him in surprise. He spoke with a sneer, "What you looking at punk? You think you are the same Chen Kong I used to look up to? No, you ain''t shit, bitch. You are just a loser. You look at those people there and tell me if the love in those eyes decreased even a bit? You turned into a dark insect and they still love you, then tell me why should they not love my mother who was known as the gentlest person? Are you worthy? Your life is something I give you as I gave charity. You owe me a debt of life. So you better pay it or I wille and send you to visit Yama." during the monologue You Xi Wang noticed a trace of sadness and regret flicker inside Chen Kong''s eyes. That is why he emphasized thest words. He raised his head to the elders of the family and said, "You can decide what to do with him." then you looked at Alester Book and said, "Master, can I go first? I want to meet my grandma." his expression was tired, so Alester Book nodded and allowed him to leave.


    You Xi Wang walked towards the door looking exhausted and You Zhichi also caught up to him after bowing to the elders and Alester Book. She held her brother''s hand as they walked out and Maya ran after them, but not before growling and Chen Kong. The door closed after the two people left the door.


    Chen Longxue spoke in a deep voice, "It was Xiao Wang''s virtue that he spared this guy. I give you all ten breaths to decide what to do with him or I will first kill him and then kill myself." his words were firm and his expression was pained.


    Kelly wanted to speak, but she was stopped by her husband. Chen Kong groaned and crawled a little towards Alester Book. Thetter waved his arm and with a click sound, the broken jaw was connected. It was not perfect, but still allowed Chen Kong to speak.


    "I will repent. Please give me a chance. I know that I was wrong. Grandpa, please allow me to repent for my sins." tears flowed from his eyes. Alester Book saw this and a slight smile appeared on his face. He raised his head and nodded to the Chen family elders. They allmunicated with the soul sense. The content was that Chen Kong really is regretful and he should be able to repent his sins.


    Chen Qianbei looked at the other elders. They all nodded, and she said, "Chen Kong, you are given a second chance. But after this, you may not interfere in the ways of the secr world. This means that you can no longer be the master of the family. Do you ept this condition?" her demeanor was cold.


    Chen Kong nodded as he kept crying. He wanted to hug his grandparents and cry his heart out for misunderstanding them and ruining the beautiful life he had, but he was not given a choice. Alester Book said, "I have been here a long time. I need to rush back. Waiting for the council to send people to escort him would be wasteful. How about I escort him there personally? That is if you don''t mind."


    The elders looked at Chen Longxue, who was gazing at his grandson. Chen Longxue spoke in a low voice, "I will trouble senior then."


    Alester Book nodded. He allowed Chen Kong to say goodbye to his family and stood on the side quietly. Chen Kong hugged his grandparents apologized to everyone and finally, after a kowtow he surrendered to Alester Book. the old man waved his hand and the space cracked. The old man held Chen Kong and stepped inside the space crack. They vanished from the hall. The hall was then filled with sighs.

 Chapter 147: The Price Of Vow.

    Chapter 147: The Price Of Vow.


    You Zhichi held You Xi Wang''s arms as the two of them walked through the halls. They would exchange hearty greetings whenever some rtive came across them. You Xi Wang continued to maintain a dazzling smile, but You Zhichi noticed an anomaly in his eyes. As they met more rtives, he let her do all the talking and just stood beside her with a smile on his face like a good boy. This was abnormal because he was never a shy or snobby person. Though his smile and some words eased the doubts in the heart of the people and they concluded that the boy has undergone a change after his parent''s demise. The two continued walking all the way to a rare green courtyard in the white estate. This courtyard was not covered with snow or had a chilly air around it. You Xi Wang felt a warm air current. The garden in the courtyard was filled with many flowers and nts. It was unknown when You Xi Wang picked up Maya in his hands.


    This courtyard belonged to Chen Shaoyang and Mu Qingling. Mu Qingling was a genialdy and a pharmacist by upation. She had retired from the forefront and would only make pills for her closest people. The pills You Xi Wang and You Zhichi had been all sent to them by their grandmother. Behind the garden stood a vi. You Xi Wang nearly mistook it for a house at earth. The exterior was very simr to those modern style vis he had seen on earth. Thebination of wooden textures and ss windows looked very eye-pleasing and matched well with the garden.


    The siblings entered the courtyard, followed the stone pathway leading to the house. They were about to knock on the door when the door opened and a genial looking middle-aged woman appeared in front of them. The woman may look like she was in her early thirties, but she was seventy years old. This woman wore traditional clothing, matching her temperament perfectly. Her face was ny percent like Chen Qianbie, and seventy percent with You Zhichi. The woman smiled as soon as she saw You Zhichi standing in front of her. She raised her hands and hugged her granddaughter in a warm embrace.


    She spoke in a warm tone, "How are you, my dear?"


    You Zhichi was unconsciously crying. Thest time they all met was at her parent''s funeral. They all stayed there for a week as they waited for You Xi Wang to wake up. They were continuously in touch via calls and messages, but the physical presence was something that can never be reced. You Zhichi calmed down after a few seconds. She separated from her grandmother, who looked at her with a motherly smile. You Zhichi also smiled and said, "I am fine, how are you, grandma?"


    Mu Qingling nodded while the smile not leaving her face. She replied, "Let me first discipline a naughty bunny then I will talk to you." she slightly pushed You Zhichi to meet her grandson. You Xi Wang liked to eat the carrots she grew on her farm when he was young, so she nicknamed him Bunny. You Xi Wang smiled weakly and said, "Grandma, did you get more beautiful while I was not here?"


    Mu Qingling smiled and said, "Ah, my little bunny is still as sweet mouthed as ever. Come here and let grandma see how you have been doing after all your adventures recently."


    She took a step forward and hugged her grandson, who carried a white-furred wolf in his arms. But the joy did notst too long. Her face changed as she sensed an anomaly in You Xi Wang''s body. His body was shivering slightly. She was about to ask what is going on when she felt something wet on her shoulder. She mistook it for You Xi Wang to be crying. She said, "Okay, Bunny, do not cry now. Grandma is here with you, no?"


    You Xi Wang was a weak person in the past and he would usually cry when in pain, so Mu Qingling''s misunderstanding was fine. Things changed when You Xi Wang''s shivering increased and he did not reply to Mu Qingling. She also felt that the wait of You Xi Wang''s body increased a bit. She was a level 7 pharmacist and her senses were that of a mid-level Primal Soul level cultivator. She held You Xi Wang''s body up and slightly pushed his body up.


    She was shocked when she saw You Xi Wang''s pale face. The boy had gritted his teeth very hard and some blood flowed down his nose. His eyes were also blood red. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. Mu Qingling acted quickly and pulled him indoors and You Zhichi anxiously followed as she was also surprised to see this.


    Inside the house, in the living room on the ground floor, Yuki and the kids were waiting for You Xi Wang toe back. They were happy when they heard Mu Qingling say that they have arrived. They were all looking towards the direction the entrance was located. They saw Mu Qingling supporting You Xi Wang in her arms as they rushed inside. They were shocked before they could ask what has happened they saw You Zhichi signaling them not to. You Zhichi carried Maya on the side. Maya was also shivering, her eyes were shut tightly closed.


    Her grandmother asked, "Did something happen in the gathering hall. You Zhichi replied, "Chen Kong was influenced by the dark side, Gougou resolved the matter. Although he wanted to kill him at first but looking at the faces of the elders in the hall, he spared him."


    My Qingling was shocked and so was Yuki. Celestia could understand a little, she found that Mu Qingling was in a daze and said, "Grandmother, is big brother Xi Wang okay?" her bell-like voice rang in thedy''s ear and she came back to her senses. She quickly raised her hand, and a thread formed out of Spiritual energy formed and connected itself to You Xi Wang''s wrist. She took his pulse and said in a solemn voice, "Why did he want to kill Chen Kong?"


    You Zhichi replied, "Chen Kong used abusive words for mother and me. He also called us orphans and half-bloods, who had no right to even visit here, let alone step into the gathering hall."


    Mu Qingling''s body trembled. She spoke again, "Where is Chen Kong, now?"


    You Zhichi again replied, "Grandma, Gougou''s master took him away."


    Mu Qingling noted the matter of the master but did not ask for the moment. Her main concern was You Xi Wang. She pressed some acupoints on his body and You Xi Wang''s expressions eased up a lot. He opened his eyes and nced at everyone present in the room. His gazended on Maya, who was in his sister''s arms. He tried to raise his arm and gestured her to bring Maya to him. You Zhichi did not ask why or what and sent Maya in her brother''s embrace. She was aware of the spiritual bond of equality they shared. They can help each other when they are close.


    Yuki spoke in a low and anxious voice, "Grandma, what happened to Xi Wang?"


    Mu Qingling spoke in a deep and low voice, "This boy is paying the price of vow breaking."


    The adult was surprised, but the children did not know which vow You Xi Wang had broken and Lily spoke up, "Grandmother, Xixi is a good person. He never breaks his promise."


    Mu Qingling sighed as she squatted down beside the three children. She said, "A good person also sometimes has to break his promises so that the others important to him could stay happy."


    The children nodded in understanding. They were very smart for their age. From the statement of Mu Qingling, they derived that You Xi Wang had to break his promise for someone. You Zhichi asked, "Granny, what is happening to him exactly? Can it be cured?"


    Mu Qingling said, "First, call over those people from the gathering hall. They also need to know how big trouble their wish has created for my Bunny."


    You Zhichi nodded and called her aunt. She spoke as soon as the call connected, "Aunt, grandma has called all of you over to her courtyard. Including granny Kelly. Gougou is not alright. Come quick." Chen Qianbei nodded, and the call disconnected.


    The two girls, Yuki and You Zhichi were very anxious when they saw You Xi Wang trembling and gritting his teeth. Five minutester, a group of people from the gathering hall arrived. Yuki opened the door for them This house did not have any futuristic features inside. Mu Qingling preferred it that way. The five people entered the house. They all entered the hall and saw You Xi Wang''s trembling figure lying on the sofa. Chen Shaoyang hurried down to his side with a worried expression. He asked, "What happened to him?"


    Mu Qingling may not interfere with the family business but she has always been a pampering mother to her children, and this was his grandson lying down in front of her facing such torment. How could she let them go so easily?


    She spoke in a voice so cold that it made the elders feel chills running down their spine, "You people must have been thrilled when he spared Chen Kong, right? After all, that guy is your blood. While my Bunny is an orphan in your eyes."


    Chen Qianbei spoke, "Mom..." but her words were cut off by her mother.


    "Shut Up. Are you the one who imed to be responsible for the well being of these children in front of their mother''s grave?" her voice was not only cold but also very loud. Chen Qianbei fell silent and bowed her head. She was not the matriarch of the family now. The others also kept silent when they heard the firstdy of the family spewing fire from her mouth.


    Mu Qingling spoke again, "You want to know what he is suffering from, right? Then hear well. He is going through the bacsh of breaking a vow. This is a price he is paying for sparing Chen Kong. His body is suffering from pain in all his meridians. The pain is so strong that it can break all bones inside the human body 100 times over. He is also using the spiritual bond with his beastpanion to ease her pain, adding up to his own pain. Now can you imagine how much pain he is facing right now?"


    The people turned pale. This was a living hell. They did not dare to estimate the extent of it. Yuki and You Zhichi rushed to his side and the children. You Zhichi asked, "Grandma, how long would itst? Can we do anything to ease it up?"


    Mu Qingling said, "This state willst for 24 hours, the only thing we can do now is to ce him inside a spirit gathering array with him as a target. If his spiritual energy ran out, then his bones will break. Given the pace now, he canst for two hours at max. Fortunately, we have a spirit gathering array in the family. I wonder if the elders have any objection to use the array for my grandson? After all, he is an orphan and half-blood of the family, right?"


    Kelly spoke, "Eldest sister, please don''t say such words. We are ashamed of our doings." her eyes were full of tears and her tone was sincere. Mu Qingling sighed and said, "What are you three old men waiting for? My child''s funeral? Get the array started, you have fifteen minutes. If you arete, see how I will skin you all."


    Chen Moqian and Chen Longxue shouted, "Yes, eldest sister-inw." they ran away after shouting this, leaving only Chen Shaoyang behind. The old man stood up and said, "Ling''er..." he wanted to say something, but thedy just spewed fire, "You better keep that Ling''er to yourself right now. I will have you kneel on poisonous pine spikes. Get going."


    The old man wanted to help her calm down, but his good intention was set ame by her words. He ran away to help his brothers. Chen Qianbei sat down on the sofa and put You Xi Wang''s head in herp. She spoke with a sad voice, "I am sorry Xiao Wang, aunt let you down."


    You Zhichi and Yuki consoled her while the kids sat down quietly in the hall with their gaze trained on You Xi Wang and Maya. Mu Qingling and Kelly stood together on the side waiting for the Chen brothers to tell them that the array is ready.

 Chapter 148: Blessing in disguise.

    Chapter 148: Blessing in disguise.


    You Zhichi, Chen Qianbei, Yuki were all attending to You Xi Wang. They were slowly transferring their own spiritual energy inside his body to slow down his consumption. Mu Qingling and Kelly Stone were talking about something regarding his condition on the side. The three children were sitting down at the side with Shadow. Lily could not hold it in her anymore and said, "Grandmother Mu, what is going on inside Xixi''s body?"


    Mu Qingling and the others were surprised by this question. She spoke, "I have only read about this in books. ording to the ancient texts, the patient will suffer from pain in all his meridians. the pain will be strong enough to break all his bones a hundred times over. These things I have stated earlier. What else do you want to know?"


    Lily said in a low voice, "Grandmother, in our family library there is a book ''Blessing In Disguise." that book states that if there is a cmity then you can always turn it into a blessing. In one article I read a pharmacist stating that repeated bone fractures can strengthen the bones. I forget what was that senior''s name."


    Celestia beside her spoke, "Do you mean, Dr. Hannah Ma? She did state that, but was it not a statement supporting the body forging technique?" she subconsciously asked a question.


    This time Jojo spoke, "Yes, now that you two mention it. I recall that ''secrets of the human body'' also have an article stating this, but the process is painful. Also, I can guess where Lily is going with this, but given uncle Wang''s condition, this is not possible. I have seen a copy of the text grandmother spoke about. In uncle''s situation, we need to stop the body from fracturing at any cost. This bacsh is a chain reaction type process. Once the bones fracture, they will continue to break regardless of any interference. This is a heavenly bacsh. We cannot interfere with it."


    Lily pursed her lips and Celestia also fell into deep thought, ignoring the shock of the surrounding adults. Who could believe that these were just 6 or 7-year-old children? They were talking like adults who have experience in the medical field. Suddenly when Mu Qingling was about to say something Lily and Celestia spoke together.


    "Idea."


    Their voice was brimming with excitement. Jojo asked, "what is it?"


    Celestia said, "Since we cannot interfere we can point our fingers at it." Lily continued her sentence, "Correct, Inside the array where we are about to shift Xixi, apply ayer of bone forging powder over him. He is circting the spiritual essence. So, the bone forging powder will itself digest and help him in resisting this pain." the two girls nodded and looked at Jojo. The boy said, "Yes, this could work. Now we have to wait for the array to set up."


    The adults were again shocked when they saw these kidsing up with such a way to turn You Xi Wang''s cmity into an opportunity for him. Mu Qingling asked, "Where did you all learn these things?" she could not digest the fact that these kids who have not even started meditating came up with such an idea.


    Jojo replied, "We spend our free time in the library. We have finished half of the medical science section in the family Library, also Uncle Wang would share his copies of medical books he get from Codex hall every month." his tone showed ''is it strange to know such things?'' act. The two girls beside him also nodded in affirmation.


    Mu Qingling spoke, "Is bunny trying to breed tigers and phoenixes at home." her words confused the kids but You Zhichi understood full well what her grandmother meant by this. She was aware of You Xi Wang asking the children to focus on various fields to avoid getting bored in learning, but she did not expect the kids to follow his words so seriously. However, this was something they would talk aboutter. She asked her grandmother as she gazed at her brother''s pale face.


    "Grandmother, will this work?" her tone was very anxious. She would not let You Xi Wang face anymore risk in this condition. So she sought assurance from her grandmother. Mu Qingling fell into deep thought. She replied after a few moments, "Yes, it can work. We just need to provide him with enough spirit energy. I will mix body coagtion powder and bone forging powder together. We will coat You Xi Wang in a thickyer of that powder''s paste. It will cleanse and forge his body at the same time."


    You Zhichi nodded and used the sleeve of her dress to wipe the sweat on the forehead of her brother. Mu Qingling spoke, "The formation should be ready now, Xiaobei, you take Bunny there, I will create the medicine paste."


    Lily, Celestia, and Jojo spoke, "Grandma, can we follow you?" they were eager to learn and help You Xi Wang. Mu Qingling liked these little guys and agreed. She led them to herboratory. Chen Qianbei lifted You Xi Wang in the air using her soul power. You Zhichi and Yuki walked beside her. Kelly walked ahead to check the arrangements at the cultivation cave. This cave was specially made for the master of the family and the elders of the family. They could alle here and practice in retreat.


    ...


    At the entrance of the cultivation, cave stood three brothers. They nced at the multiple jade stones they buried around the cave once again to check everything was in ce. Chen Longxue was about to call back inside to inform Mu Qingling about thepleted preparations when he spotted his wife stepping in his spirit sense range and he also spotted the group of people following behind him. Chen Longxue spoke to Chen Shaoyang, "Big brother, they are here."


    Chen Shaoyang sighed and nodded. He spoke, "After all the things these kids have been through, this is the first time they came here and now this. Would their tribtions ever end?" his voice carried a hint of sadness he felt for his grandchildren.


    Chen Moqian who stood beside him said, "Big brother, the tribtions make a cultivator stronger but this is not a tribtion of life of the heavens but our fault. We handle what our family members do. This time we owe You Xi Wang a big debt." he sighed at the end.


    Kelly rushed over to them and said to Chen Shaoyang, "Big brother, the three children who came with You Xi Wang came up with a way to turn this torment into a blessing. The eldest sister agreed with them and she is right now making preparations for it. You need to pour the cave with spirit stones. The more the better."


    Chen Shaoyang nodded. Their family had no shortage of spirit stones. He walked inside the cave and with a wave of his hand, he poured all the spirit stones he had in his space ring. the spirit stones he carried were so much that they formed a little mountain in the cave''s corner. Chen Moqian also poured out his spirit stones, followed by the third elder and thirddy of the family. They did this with noints and hesitation in their hearts. First, they always had a good rtionship with You Xi Wang, and second, he was in this condition because he spared their grandson.


    Chen Qianbei arrived with You Xi Wang floating beside her. The body was constantly trembling and showed no sign of stopping. The elders felt guilty when they saw a teenage boy in this condition. Chen Shaoyang asked his daughter about what was the way to turn this cmity into a blessing. Chen Qianbei simply recounted the conversation of the three kids and how her mother supported the idea. They all then waited for Mu Qingling to arrive and carry out the procedure.


    The wait did notst long as Mu Qingling arrived just in 10 minutes. She carried a big earthen vat in her hands. She entered the cave first and put down the vat on the formation circle drawn in the center. This was the spot where You Xi Wang had to sit down earlier. Now there was ced a vat filled with a thick paste of Bone forging powder, Bone coagtion powder, and spirit liquid. The spirit liquid was a liquid form of spiritual energy in the surroundings. This liquid could cause minor riots in the barrennd of the frost city. But for a big family like the Chens, it was normal. They were the kings here.


    After cing down the vat, Mu Qingling came out of the cave and took control of You Xi Wang''s body from her daughter and took him inside. She waved her hand and Maya separated from You Xi Wang''s embrace. She waved her other hand and You Xi Wang''s clothes vanished. She then gestured her hands through the air and put down her grandson inside the vat. She did the same with Maya as well. She sighed and walked out of the cave. Chen Shaoyang took out thest jade from his space ring and half-buried it on the ground in front of the cave entrance. The spiritual energy in the surroundings tumbled down through the entrance of the cave into the vat of the paste.


    Yuki was very nervous, so You Zhichi held her hand and assured her that everything will be fine.


    Inside the cave, You Xi Wang''s body glowed with a golden radiance. He waspletely drowned inside the paste, yet it was easy to breathe. The same applied to Maya. The process to turn this into a blessing has begun.

 Chapter 149: What goes around comes around.

    Chapter 149: What goes aroundes around.


    Whoosh...


    The spiritual energy started pouring inside the cave as soon as the spirit gathering array started working. Everyone gathered outside could witness the faint golden radiance inside the cave. You Zhichi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this glow. This was a reaction based on the past whenever You Xi Wang was injured his body would repair and emit this golden radiance. Yuki also felt a little at ease as she watched this. She turned to Mu Qingling and asked, "Grandmother, where are the kids?"


    Mu Qingling smiled and said, "They all are in myb, reading medical records. You know what did they say when I asked them ''why they did not want toe here?'' Celestia answered me with a smile, ''Grandmother, you all worry too much. Big brother is very strong and he is a good man. Those who do good will never suffer.''"


    Yuki smiled after hearing this. Celestia trusted You Xi Wang the most, and she had a reason as well. He saved her from the peril of being alone and gave her hope to live. You Zhichi also smiled at this. Mu Qingling spoke, "I know Lily and Jojo but I never heard about Celestia. She is very smart and talented. I wonder who are her parents."


    The other elders were also curious after hearing a high remark from Mu Qingling. Chen Qianbei was already aware of Celestia''s identity, but she let You Zhichi answer her mother. You Zhichi nced at Yuki, gesturing her to answer. She did this because Yuki was there when they rescued Celestia. Yuki nodded and spoke, "Grandmother, Celestia is an orphan You Xi Wang found when we passed through Sahasa Town for our training camp. She was apanied by another kid called Chris. That kid was also like her, an orphan. You Xi Wang found out that her family was massacred by the dark dwellers while the leader responsible for the raid, killed Celestia''s mother in front of her. He also tortured Celes and left her there to die. The boy Chris was her neighbor and saved her. They were in very dire straits when we found them."


    The elders were surprised to see how benevolent You Xi Wang was. Mu Qingling nodded and said to You Zhichi, "Xiaochi, go get some rest we all will take turns to keep watch here." thedy turned to Chen Longxue and said, "You pick up your spirits already, third brother. After resting, arrange the training for the kids Bunny brought along." her words were not less heavy than an imperial decree. She was the wife of the old master of the family and the mother of the current master of the family. The reason Chen Shaoyang gave up the burden over to his daughter was that he wanted to focus on his cultivation.


    Chen Longxue nodded and left toplete the arrangement. Chen Qianbei called over a few members of the family and assigned them to guard the array. The family was enormous, and they preferred to share their work. Such as guarding and patrolling. The Chen Family had a custom, which was to let every member serve in the Defence forces for five years. It was not mandatory, but the young people did not want to fall behindpared to the older generation, they all followed it. Thus guard duties were a way of training for them.


    Mu Qingling sent away You Zhichi and Yuki to rest and she herself went over to theboratory to watch over the kids. Leaving Chen Shaoyang, and Chen Moqian to guard the cave. Kelly and Chen Qianbei left toplete some work for the family. The patrolling guards would salute the two elders whenever they would pass by. The two elders would nod in acknowledgment. The two brothers were sitting on rattan mats side by side.


    Chen Moqian said, "Big brother, what do you think? How will Xiao Wang handle this? Big Sister hid one thing. This pain will continue to grow intense as time passes." don''t be misled by his quiet image. He is not sly, but he is a very well-read person. Chen Shaoyang replied, "Ling''er did not want Xiaochi and others to worry about this that is why she said nothing. It is understandable, after all, the girl only has her brother left. She hides her expression well, but her eyes reveal everything to those who know her well. Also, I do not know how Xiao Wang will deal with this cmity. I just hope that hees back fine if not stronger."


    Chen Moqian nodded and sighed. They all knew inside that even if it is just sparing Chen Kong''s life in name, it was a big favor You Xi Wang did to the family. Chen Kong was the reason his grandparents were living, and Chen Longxue was an indispensable pir of the Chen Family. If anything were to happen to him, then the family would be in tatters.


    ...


    Inside the cave, You Xi Wang was drowned inside the thick paste inside the vat. He was circting ording to the five elemental sutras. The cirction did not increase his cultivation base but provided him the strength and spiritual energy to resist the bones in his body from shattering. Not only that, but it also helped Maya. The vat was filled with two different physique improving powders. Maya could also absorb these powders a little. They both stayed inside the vat and absorbed the vitality of the paste a little with every cirction of their spiritual essence.


    You Xi Wang was half-conscious and half-unconscious when his conscious was jolted awake by a hysterical roar.


    [<strong>WHAT THE FUCK, DID YOU DO? HOW DID YOU END UP IN SUCH A STATE?</strong>] the system woke up.


    It did not care that You Xi Wang was focusing on the cirction of the essence. He asked him the reason behind this pain. After all, they were sharing everything. You Xi Wang replied in a weak manner, "Spared a dark dweller."


    The System kept quiet for a few moments and then said, [I saw it in the memories, you did well. It is necessary to control your hatred otherwise it may start controlling you. You probably have little brainpower left to endure the pain and cycle of the spiritual essence. I will lend a hand.]


    You Xi Wang felt the pain ease a little, and he started focusing on the cirction of the spiritual essence inside him. Cultivation enhanced not only his powers but also improved the quality of his essence. Although all the five elements of energy were spotless it was not condensed. So you Xi Wang condensed the essence into liquid form. If other people saw this, they would be scared because People would usually do this when they reach Core Formation Realm.


    Condensing the spiritual energy into liquid drops and then forming a form by solidifying the liquid is called the Core formation realm. Yet here a teenager condensed liquid drops when he was at the eight levels of spiritual formation. This whole thing sounded absurd. The system was monitoring everything as it disconnected You Xi Wang''s brain connection from the body and just let him focus on circting the spiritual energy.


    The system also took care of the spiritual bond with Maya. The wolf cub was now two feet long. Maya was also covered inside the paste and thus her physique was also growing at a pace faster than her siblings. The system acted like a multi-taskingputer at this moment and kept monitoring every minuscule change in the bodies of the two people. Six hours passed by and You Xi Wang spoke in his mind again, ''System, you are controlling the amount of pain I can sense right?''


    The system replied, [Yes master.]


    You Xi Wang spoke, ''Every fifteen-minute increase a controlled amount of pain. This way my body will get used to the pain and my endurance will increase.''


    [As you say.] the system replied with no sarcasm. Not that he did not want to insult his primary soul, but the situation wasn''t right.


    Time passed slowly, every fifteen-minute system increased the amount of pain by a significant level. The process to control the pain was very simple. He just reestablished the connection of nerves back with the brain. As the number of the nerves increased so did the pain. This process continued for the whole twenty-four hours.


    Increase. Adapt. Increase. You Xi Wang sessfully paid the price of breaking the vows. The system said, [You are now free from the vow of killing every dark dweller you find, but if you break any other vows, then the heavens will smite your corny ass with the lightning. Do you understand what I mean, you piece of generous shit? Every single time I wake up, I discover you in a quagmire. Should I take over the possession and let you experience a cuckold life?]


    You Xi Wang who had just stepped out of the vat shivered and apologized with the promise of being careful in the future. You Xi Wang wasn''t an ungrateful person, he knew that it was the system who has helped him or the situation would not have ended up on a good note. He looked over the vat and saw Maya moving a bit. He acted immediately and took out the three feet long wolf cub. Maya was now as big as a juvenile wolf beast. She shook her body to get rid of the sticky paste of impurities but could not. You Xi Wang waved his hands and formed a blob of water around Maya only her head was left outside. Soon the dirt was removed and a beautiful white fur came into his vision. the crescent moon between her eyes was now in the center of her forehead. It also grew big and dark with her growth.


    You Xi Wang made a blob of water around him and washed off the dirt on himself. When he appeared his physique had gone by a drastic change. His muscles were dense yet not bulging. He was not a hunk now, but a lean and dashing young boy. This physique suited him more. His eyes were brighter, and theplexion was also a scale fairer. He was now as fair as Yuki. He took a set of clothes from his ring and changed his old and wet ones. He sighed and stepped outside of the cave while he thought about his gains.


    Mu Qingling and others saw a beautiful white wolfing out of the cave followed by You Xi Wang. They all had one thought in their mind at this moment that You Xi Wang did everything with good intention, so how could he suffer the wrath of the heavens? What goes aroundes around. He gained good things from his good deeds.

 Chapter 150: Fooling Around.

    Chapter 150: Fooling Around.


    You Zhichi ran up to her brother as soon as he took a step out of the cave. You Xi Wang didn''t even have the time to react when he felt a warm embrace surrounding him in the freezing air. He closed his eyes and hugged his sister. He spoke, "You cried again because of me, didn''t you?" his voice sounded a little husky as he hugged his sister.


    Although he hugged her his body was numb to all sensations. The controlled pain may have increased his endurance but his skin which was as tough as a normal cultivator still suffered from the after-effects. ording to the system, it will recover in a week. You Xi Wang raised his head as he hugged his sister and found everyone else standing in the distance. He said, "Okay, stop crying or dad will descend just to kick my ass silly. Think about how I will sit with half a swollen butt." he acted very aggrieved.


    It was the truth actually. He never wanted to make his sister worry because of himself. Yet again and again the situation made him fail again and again. His joke made his sister chuckle and she hit his chest with her palm. She said, "What do I do with you? You are still in the mood to joke? Everyone was so worried about you. Well except for the three kids. They came up with this idea to give you a body forging treatment to stimte your potential." She separated from him and used her hand to sort his hair.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said with a smirk, "Looks like my love for the little devils is not wasted."


    You Zhichi chuckled when she saw his reaction, he was acting like an old man. She looked behind him and saw a grown-up Maya. She was surprised by how much the fur beauty grew up after one treatment. You Xi Wang followed her gaze, reached out his hand. Maya understood that he wanted to pat her and walked over to him. She rubbed her head on to his palm. You Xi Wang squatted down and rubbed her neck after he pulled her a little closer. He spoke, "Troubled you again, Maya. Sorry."


    Maya had grown to the juvenile state and with this, she unlocked her intelligence. She spoke in You Xi Wang''s mind, "I am fine, brother Xi Wang. If not for all the tribtions how could I have grown so much in such a short time?" her voice was melodious like a little girl but her mind was that of a teenager. A teenager beast. You Xi Wang was shocked when the voice rang inside his head. His initial shock turned into a pleasant surprise. He smiled brightly and said, "I am lucky to have you, Maya."


    Maya replied in his head with a sweet voice, "I am lucky to have you as well, brother Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang was very happy to find that he can now talk with Maya. He stood up and walked up to where everyone else was standing. He first met his grandfather and gave him a hug. Though their rtionship was very good, as a tough man Chen Shaoyang never expressed feeling too much. He just smiled and broke the hug. You Xi Wang then greeted Chen Moqian with a formal greeting as that was Chen Moqian''s preference. Thetter patted him on the back. You Xi Wang stood in front of Chen Longxue and was about to greet him when he saw thetter was going to bow to him. How could You Xi Wang a boy instilled with the values of filial piety ept this bow? Let alone ept the bow how could he let Chen Longxue, his third maternal grandfather to bow to him in the first ce?


    He hurriedly held Chen Longxue by his shoulders and asked with a squinted eye, "Say third grandpa, do you might be wanting my mother to break my butt with a stick by bowing to me? Don''t think that she has left. She still watches over me. I surely cannot let you act like this for the sake of my soft delicate butt." his words made Yuki and You Zhichi chuckle. But the others just smiled and shook their heads. They thought this guy would at leastin but who knew he would joke and involve his mother in it as well?


    Chen Longxue was an upright man throughout his life. He always returned the favors and debts he owed. This time he owed the biggest debt of his life to this boy in front of him, who did not even let him express his gratitude. He felt very lowly in front of this boy. As these thoughts shed through his mind You Xi Wang spoke, "Third grandpa, did big sis tell you about the battle fest survival round? Just train us all with all you have and don''t go easy on us. I will count it as the payment of the debt. Okay? Now can you please stop sulking?" thest sentence had a haughty tone.


    Chen Longxue squinted his eyes and smacked the back of You Xi Wang''s head. He spoke in a berating tone, "You wait brat, I will spank your butt monkey red for my niece. I still have to ask you about what you said to me at the entrance of the estate." he was about to grab his ear but You Xi Wang ran and hid behind Kelly. He peeked over her shoulder and said, "Third grandma, this old tiger is roaring at your bunny."


    Kelly giggled at his antics. You Xi Wang and Chen Longxue would often y a running game among themselves called Tiger and the hare when he used to visit in the past. He was very young at that time and all the elderdies would call him Bunny as he could often be seen chowing on the sweet carrots with his front teeth. You Xi Wang named Chen Longxue the Old Tiger as he was always chased by him like a hare. She said, "Okay Longxue, let him be. He just came out of the torment and is trying to loosen up the knots in our hearts."


    You Xi Wang jumped out from behind her with his hands on his waist, he said, "My third grandma is so smart." he then rested his chin on Kelly''s shoulder and looked at Chen Longxue, making faces at him. Chen Longxue finally picked his spirits and sighed. He said, "Kelly, look at this brat, making faces at me."


    You Xi Wang said, "Bah, lies grandma all lies." he spoke in a pitiful tone. Kelly was aware that he was making face to her husband but she loved him very much and after what he did for Chen Kong her love multiplied by a thousand times. So just like it used to be in his childhood, she cupped his face with her palm and berated her husband, "Chen Longxue, when will you grow up? Bickering with my baby. He is such a well-mannered kid. Humph, go carry on with your training. See if I make you kneel on the washboard if you bother my Bunny."


    Chen Longxue shook his head and with a sigh and helpless face, he turned to his brothers who were trying to control themselves fromughing. Just when he wanted to say something he heard a voice behind him, "Third grandma, I missed you." it was You Xi Wang who hugged Kelly from the side as he gave her a gift. Kelly smiled and took the gift without any refute. Kelly said, "Only Bunny would bring grandma gifts, unlike someone who can''t even remember my birthday. Humph." thedy turned her face to another side when Chen Longxue turned to exin.


    You Xi Wang hurried to greet his grandmother and hugged her. He said, "I missed you Moon fairy."


    Mu Qingling smiled and hugged him back. She said, "I missed you too Bunny. How do you feel now? Tell me if you have any difort?"


    You Xi Wang whispered in her ears, "The pain made my skin numb, other than that I am fine. Don''t tell anyone, they are already too bothered."


    Mu Qingling asked, "Then why to tell me?" she spoke in an amused manner.


    You Xi Wang replied, "Never hide anything from your doctor andwyer." he replied in a sheepish tone causing Mu Qingling to chuckle and p his shoulder. They broke away from the embrace and You Xi Wang asked, "What gift did big sis gave you?"


    You Zhichi came to them and said, "I bought grandma a set of Sunlight jade earrings." she had a smirk on her face. ording to her You Xi Wang should not have bought anything that could outvalue these earrings as he was busy all the time.


    You Xi Wang gave her a sly smile. This smile made You Zhichi feel uneasy. She thought to herself, ''This brat is too smart. He must have gotten something better than my earrings a long time ago.''


    You Xi Wang took out a piece of paper and gave it to Mu Qingling. The elderdy unfolded the paper and eximed, "FOR REAL?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said with a proud expression, "Not only one, but I also got you 4. Whose gift is better now grandma?"


    Mu Qingling stood there with a surprised expression and said, "Yours, as always Bunny. Xiaochi I told you not to select that Maiden Heart Sutra. See you lost because of it."


    You Zhichi was confused about what was written on You Xi Wang''s paper slip. She took the paper from her grandmother and she yelled, "This is cheating, brat. You wait I will teach you a lesson now." and instantly she sprang up to beat You Xi Wang who ran ahead of her. Kelly asked, "Eldest sister what gift did Bunny got you this time?"


    Mu Qingling pointed her finger at Yuki and said, "He got me 4 granddaughters-inw." her words surprised Kelly and the other elders and Yuki blushed when she heard this sentence. She quickly squatted down to pat Maya to avoid embarrassment. Mu Qingling spoke excitedly, "We can have a bunch of Great grandkids now. Hahaha..."


    The others shook their head after hearing herughter. This woman was so eager for great-grandkids that if she was not stopped by Chen Limao she would have fixed You Xi Wang''s marriage when he was just born. They watched the two siblings running after each other in the distance. The elders were aware that this boy was fooling around to ease the tension they all had inside their hearts.

 Chapter 151: Training Begins.

    Chapter 151: Training Begins.


    You Xi Wang''s fooling around eased up the tension among the Chen Family elders. At this moment, You Zhichi was dragging her brother with his ear back to where people were gathered. You Xi Wang was begging continuously, "Big Sis, please let go of the ear. I admit defeat. I will wear a fool''s crown. My ear wille off."


    He acted very genuinely, with an aggrieved voice. If people did not know his naughty nature, they would have believed him. You Zhichi had turned blind to his antics and kept dragging him. Only when the two reached the group did, he was granted freedom. You Xi Wang spoke while he rubbed his numb ear.


    "Third Grandpa, team training will start today. Two days have passed and we have little time on our hands. I also have to deal with something rted to thepany. What do you think? Can we start?" his tone turned serious. His temperament underwent a sudden change. The elders noticed the change and were surprised by this. They did not expect this naughty guy to turn so serious suddenly.


    Chen Longxue spoke, "Okay, your two friends Neo and Hercules are following the training n I provided them. As for the others, Xiaochi told me their plus points. Since we have a little time, I suggest that we polish their qualities to cover up their ws. What do you think?" his tone also showed that they are ready for business.


    You Xi Wang pinched his chin between his index finger and thumb. He said, "Okay, let''s do this. Try to break them both mentally and physically. Only after facing the pressure can they all understand the gravity of the situation. Also, moon fairy, can I have four slots of the body forging paste?"


    Mu Qinling was shocked, and she asked, "What do you need so much for?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Other than Maya we have four more Spirit beasts. They all should also go through this baptism. It is important for their growth. They will be of great help in the battle fest."


    Mu Qingling nodded and approved of his request. Yuki spoke, "Xi Wang, only the four of us are taking part in the Battle fest, Fenny is just a technical advisor, right?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Though Fenny is justing along as a technical advisor of the team. She is also the substitute in the team. If someone is injured and cannot even take part in the battle fest, then she will have to make up the number. Also, even if it is not for the battle fest, Snowke needs to grow stronger for the future." he understood Yuki''s intent behind asking this question so he rified. Although Fenny was a technical advisor, she was still a member of the team and would have to step up if something happens. This was his aim for the training, to temper the people''s will.


    He looked at his sister and said, "Call everyone to the training field. I need to brief them."


    You Zhichi nodded and used her Holo-phone to call over the team. The designated gathering ce was the training field of the Chen Family. You Xi Wang wanted to give them all a wake-up call. His Holo-Phone rang, and he saw that it was from Gerrard. He picked it up and Gerrard''s image formed above his wrist. You Xi Wang walked a few steps away from everyone and spoke, "Hello, uncle Gerrard. Is there anything?"


    Gerrard spoke, "Young Master, the acquisition of apany isplete. We kept the old staff and also the old management. I wanted to inform you about this."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Who singed the deal?"


    Gerrard answered, "Andrew."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Send him over there and have him re-register thepany under the name of Celestial Motors. Also, promote him as the GM of the motorpany. You decide the sry yourself. Tonight I will send you a sketch. Tell Andrew that when I get back, I want a Mag-lev looking just like the sketch manufactured. Also, he only needs to ask the engineers to tweak the engine and make it faster than usual. Okay?"


    Gerrard spoke, "Okay, Boss. Anything else?"


    You Xi Wang pondered a bit and said, "Tell Ray, Cal, and As to keep a watch in the market. After our prototype is ready and tested to be mass-produced. The automobile market will fluctuate. Tell them to buy off shares when the prices fall."


    Gerrard was surprised at first, but then he remembered that You Xi Wang had no small appetite. He nodded, and the call disconnected. You Xi Wang returned to his family, and they all departed to get their own things done. Mu Qingling was going to prepare the medicinal mixture he asked for. Chen Qianbei had to deal with some business matters. the grandpa(s) had to rest as they were on the night watch here.


    You Xi Wang, along with Yuki, Maya, and You Zhichi made their way to the training ground. He greeted his cousins on the way and even teased some. When he arrived at the destination, he found that the whole team was standing there. But something that irked him was the discipline they allcked. You Xi Wang walked up to them and said, "Would you guy be kind enough to stand in a proper queue? Or should I teach you?"


    His cold voice made them all wake up from their delusion that this was an easy trip. They realized that their team leader was a monster. Quickly they formed two neat queues and stood in ascending order regarding their height. You Xi Wang spoke, "Starting today, the training intensity will be doubled and if anyone had aint, I don''t mind adding more to what you already have. We are not here to joke and neither to rx. I will give you all one day to rx before the battle fest starts, but if I found anyone not following the arrangements, then don''t me me for sending you back home."


    The people who wanted to protest killed the words inside their throats. They knew that this monster would really throw them out. You Xi Wang spoke, "You all are weak, and you know that. Although the world is organized, the rules andws are still set by the strong. Do you want to rx? Then get the strength to rx. Starting today, the disciples in the Chen Family may sneak attack you guys anywhere and anytime. I should not tell you this, but it would be too brutal. You guys will not have an excuse of ''I was not expecting'' or any other bull shit. I am telling you this because I want you to know your weakness. You are so weak that you cannot even detect people, let alone surviving in a different space where fierce beasts will skin you alive and turn you into a pile of poop."


    His tone was harsh. He was abusive towards his teammates. His cousins at the side were all shocked to experience the drastic change in his behavior. They almost could not believe that their sweet little cousin was such a bad-mouthed person. What shocked them more was that the team members stood there silently. They would have started a brawl if someone was to abuse them like this. You Xi Wang was ignorant to their shock and surprise and continued, "You want me to take back these words? Good, I will give you guys a chance. If you all can finish the tasks assigned to you without getting caught in the traps set by the people in the mansion, then I will bow my head to you all. I will add another condition with this. If you can keep the attack count under five times a day, then you may sleep at night otherwise, you are smart enough. Do you get it?"


    The team roared, "YES."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Good, you are dismissed now. Carry on with your training. Also, if someone has questions, then you cane to me. I will practice at the arrays."


    He turned around and left to practice at the arrays of the Chen Family. The basic array was still the Nine Realm formation he had used at his home and the school gym. The Chen family had another formation that was not to train the people in the offense, but mental attacks. You Xi Wang found it very interesting and came to the que which described the rules and functions of the array.


    This array was called Mental Prison Formation. The function of this formation was to cast an illusion or the participant. The participant had to break out of the illusion. The shorter the time taken to break the illusion, the higher the mental potential one had. Besides the rule que, there was also a ranking board. It had the names of the top 50 people. The first person could break the illusion in 5 minutes. This surprised You Xi Wang. His curiosity to check out the array increased even more.


    He took out a Spirit Stone and spoke to Maya, who was silently following him, "Maya, what do you think? How long would it take me to break this array?" his tone was a little haughty, and Maya replied in her sweet voice, "Brother Xi Wang, my instincts tell me this is something to be wary of."


    You Xi Wang stroked her head gently and said, "It is something to be wary of. Mental arrays can mess you up real bad. But the greater the risk, the greater the reward. I am going to try. If I don''te out in an hour you don''t worry and go to Yuki and rest, okay?"


    Maya rubbed her head against his arm and said, "As you say, brother Xi Wang." You Xi Wang patted her neck and stood up to go inside the array."

 Chapter 152: Secret and Surprise.

    Chapter 152: Secret and Surprise.


    You Xi Wang activated the array formation and stepped inside. He had already asked his third grandfather to arrange for some family disciples to watch over the team and also to sneak attack. The purpose of the sneak attacks was to help the team develop vignce. In the uing battle fest, they can not act like they do in daily life. It will just spell a loss for them all. He shook his head and got rid of all unnecessary thoughts inside his mind. The stone que outside suggested that one sit down cross-legged.


    You Xi Wang sat down crossed-legs in the center of the array cloak. He closed his eyes and waited for the array to work.


    Buzz...


    A buzzing sound rang out in his ears. He sensed himself falling down from a high altitude. He opened his eyes and found that his body was falling down a vertical tunnel. His eyes turned foggy. After a few seconds of free fall, he snorted and rity returned to his eyes. He observed his surroundings to find different lights shining around him. He looked below and saw a pinpoint of light shining in the distance. This was a scene from the Abyss. Abyss is said to be the pathway to hell. This description is matched to a verymon folk book in Metropia. You Xi Wang felt a weird power trying to confuse his mind was constantly getting stronger. He closed his eyes and started deducting a way to break this level of the formation. After careful analysis, he let go of any slightest restraint he held in his mind.


    The fall abruptly came to a halt. He opened his eyes and returned to his seat in the center of the array. A lot of information shed in his mind. This information was regarding the first level of the array.


    This was the first level of the mental prison. As a cultivator, one must have a stable and smooth mindset. This level stimted the scene where one falls down the Abyss. When humans are pushed into situations, they do not expect, they panic. This panic disturbs their mindset and a messy mind can never be a good weapon. So You Xi Wang calmed himself and give up resistance. Abyss is not a real thing, but fiction created to teach people to be good. You Xi Wang only concluded that why resist something that does not exist? The array intercepted his brain waves and returned to normal.


    The second level of the formation activated and with another buzz, You Xi Wang found him on a ck pedestal. In front of him stood a man in white clothes. The man said, "Wee, are you ready to face your demons? I warn you, there is a risk of losing yourself while facing the mental demons."


    You Xi Wang nodded, showing that he was aware of the risks. The man nodded and waved his hands. The scene changed, You Xi Wang found himself in his office. The office of his firm back on earth. Today was the day when he had fallen from his pedestal. This day was his biggest mental demon. He wanted to go back in time and change himself. He sat down there silently immersed in this nostalgic familiar surrounding.


    CLICK...


    The door opened and a group of people came inside. They all had enraged expressions on their faces. You Xi Wang saw them and smiled. His smile enraged the others even more. One burly man could not hold it ande up to him. He mmed his fist hard on the table.


    BANG.


    He cursed, "You Xi Wang, you fucking loser. You still have the gal to smile? We are all in this shit because of you. If you don''t give us an answer, then don''t even think about leaving here."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Brother Mo, all I can say is I am sorry. I always thought that by relying on myself I can make it big. It was so delusional that I took all of you for granted. Blinded by arrogance and mour of minuscule sess I messed up everything." then he stood up from his chair and came to the side he bowed to the man called Mo. Then he bowed to all the people inside the cabin.


    Last time in reality when he was facing this situation, he was so arrogant that he med everyone else for the loss and called them ipetent. The result was that he had to spend a whole month in the hospital. But this act of his shocked the mental demons. The array would project the scenes one feared from his old memories. This was a test, one can only pass the test when they epted their mistakes and learned from them, and You Xi Wang had learned his lesson a long time ago. Today, he only needed to implement what he learned.


    You Xi Wang''s figure stood up and looked at all the old faces and said, "I ask for a chance. The world has not ended and I believe together we can clear this up. I don''t want to conquer the peak if you all are not there. When we started this firm, it was you all who supported the burden with me and it was also you who tried to keep this firm alive. While I was adding on to more losses, it was you people who tried to offset it. I never even reflected on myself before today. I will give up 99% of the shares I have. You all divide it. I will also resign from the CEO post. You all decided who is better suited for the job. I will work my way up again to earn back what I have lost." his tone was sincere. In the past, he wanted to say all these words countless times but he did not have the guts to go out of his house and face his colleagues. One time when he encountered one of them by chance on the street, he could stand what the other party jeered at him and then ended up in the police station. His parents had to pay the bail, and even then he acted badly with them.


    Remembering the scene, his eyes brimmed with tears. The mental shadows saw this, and they all faded slowly. The man on the pedestal appeared again and said, "Young man, you are brave. There are many people who have tried the Mental prison array. Some passed, some failed. The secret of the mental prison array lies not in your mind but in your heart. One who can reflect on his mistakes, ept them, correct them, and still feel guilty for what he did is the only true conqueror of the mental prison array. This array tempers a person''s will. Willes from the emotions a person feels. Only when a person can control his emotions, can he think of controlling his destiny. Now you know the secret of the array."


    You Xi Wang was surprised by what he heard. At first, he thought that this man was just an embedded hologram or something, but he did not know that this person was a self-conscious entity. He asked, "May I ask, Who are you senior?"


    The man chuckle and said, "It has been centuries since I have been able to interact with someone. My name is Animus. I was an orphan. What you see is just a leftover consciousness I leftover in the arrays I created through time. I thought it would be interesting to watch how the younger generation performs."


    You Xi Wang was shocked. He wondered if the real person is dead and this is his spirit, like those in the novels. Animus suddenly chuckled and spoke, "Boy, you are an interesting one. I am alive, currently, I am cultivating in seclusion."


    You Xi Wang was surprised again. This old man could read his thoughts. The old man spoke again, "Correct, I can read your thoughts. Though, it is not actually reading your mind."


    You Xi Wang blurted out, "Micro-expressions."


    This time the man was surprised. He spoke, "Correct, it is micro-expressions. Tell me where did you hear about it?"


    You Xi Wang suddenly kowtowed to the old man. He spoke, "Disciple greets Grandmaster Mentalist."


    The Oldman spoke with a strange expression, "You know my name in the circle?" his aura changed, a crushing pressure came over You Xi Wang. The boy had no resistance to it. His forehead was directly touching the ground. As prideful as You Xi Wang was, he did not even put up the slightest resistance. He spoke with his gritted teeth, "My master is Alester Book. The Educator."


    The Educator was Alester Book''s name among when he used to hunt dark dwellers. He to this name because he would preach some moral values to all his preys before killing them. The pressure subsided, and the man said, "You are the disciple of the book worm disciple of mine?"


    Yes, Animus a.k.a. the Mentalist was the master of Alester Book. He is at this moment a cultivator of the peak Dao formation realm. He was one of the high elders of the council. The high elders were those who would only act if the situation is enough to danger the world system. Animus was the strongest array master in the world. He was 16 when he passed the exam of Level 1 array master. At present, there was no one in this world who wouldn''t know of his legend. He was also known for a skill that only he could master. The mind-reading. That is how he became famous as a mentalist. In his youth, his brain was so sharp that he could read the micro-expressions, and he used this trick to extract a lot of information from the dark dwellers.


    He was a man who always tried to learn new things, and that was why how he took in Alester Book as a disciple when thetter used to be a teacher. Alester Book used to work as a teacher for the poor children when he was not hunting the dark dwellers. His character impressed Animus, and he took the former in.


    Animus waved his hand and You Xi Wang was lifted from the ground. You Xi Wang did not dare to resist at all. Animus looked in his eyes, reading his micro-expressions. Suddenly, heughed, "Good, grand disciple. You have real talent. Alester told me about you. The first person to have an affinity to the five elements. I wonder how those old guys feel when they find out. Hahaha... I will gift you with my array,prehensions. It wille in handy in the future."


    He pointed his finger at You Xi Wang, and a ray of golden light pierced through thetter''s be. You Xi Wang sat there lost in theprehension of the arrays. Animus spoke, "Hmm, quick enlightenment. Good boy. I will see you in the future." with that he flicked his sleeves, and the array deactivated while You Xi Wang kept sitting there on the ground with his eyes closed, unknown that he has set off a storm in the Chen Family.

 Chapter 153: Miserable Team.

    Chapter 153: Miserable Team.


    While You Xi Wang was sitting down on the ground, lost in the knowledge''sprehension of the arrays in his mind. The team was going through brutal training. At first, things looked not as so serious, but after the first day, they experienced what true cruelty was. The process was more suitable to be called ''HARASSMENT'' rather than training. Their cozy beds in the mansion were reced by tents in the training field. Imagine sleeping in tents when the temperature at night is low enough to freeze boil water in a matter of seconds.


    In the morning, when they finally experienced some rise in the temperature. A man woulde and yell in their ears. They would all awaken in a panic. Only You Zhichi and the phantoms were alert and would awake as soon as someone approaches them. You Zhichi had trained herself in the past. She ventured out alone for a week in the whispering willow forest. She may look like a doll but she can switch into a battle angel in a blink. As for the phantoms, it was the credit to the minimal beast instinct they got from sharing a spiritual bond with the wolf pups. The rest were not so fortunate, so they all suffered.


    The tragedy was that as soon as the instructor announced the break time and the team wanted to rx, someone would shoot them with rubber bullets. It was a group of snipers who were arranged by the instructors to interrupt the rest of the trainees. They did not know that the trouble was about to increase. They were all asked to run through the obstacle course. This course was created by the family to stimte the body of the practitioners. The body of the cultivators must be firm and flexible. But even when they were running the obstacle course some of them tripped because of a spirit-trip wire, some fell inside deep pits suddenly appearing on the ground out of thin air.


    The team had some sort of restraint shackles on their hands. This shackle sealed 90% of their spiritual essence. They were just slightly powerful than normal humans. The second day has just ended and the instructor announced that they can go to rest now. They dragged their tired bodies to the bathing area to clean themselves. Rafael took off his dirty clothes and started the tap. Since they were not allowed inside the mansion, they used a wooden barrel as a bathtub. The boy jumped down inside the barrel and he yelled, "Hercules, light it up for me."


    Hercules was a guy with fire element affinity. So he lit up the fire beneath the barrel so that the water can heat. Hercules came to the barrel and said senior Rafael, where is the captain?" as used the meager spiritual energy to light up the fire beneath the barrel.


    The water heated slowly and Rafael said, "I don''t know where he is but one thing is for sure. He is not resting. You have witnessed his potential. How can a monster be training with us humans?" as soon as these words came out of his mouth, a spark of lightning flew up andnded inside the barrel. Big mouthed Rafael realized two things at this moment. First, water is a good conductor of electricity. Second, the attacker was cruel this time. His body first turned numb and then he wailed in pain. The brain takes a bit to register the pain caused by electricity.


    Hercules hastily pulled him out of the barrel. He looked around and found nobody. They had dropped their guard just now while they were conversing. This was the 9th time today that Rafael had suffered. Yet his vignce was still not good enough. If he is a cultivator, then the attacker is also a cultivator. The other party is an experienced veteran in a way, so how can a noob detect them with just one day''s torment?


    Hercules carried a twitching Rafael back to the camp. The others all gathered when Rafael recovered and ate a healing pill. He spoke, "I called this meeting so we cane up with some n to reduce the amount of our torment. Just in one day, we have suffered an average of 7 attacks on a person. Only the vice-captain sessfully avoided 3 attacks, yet she was still hit 6 times. What do you guys suggest we do? Because if this continued, let alone proving the captain wrong our daily performance will fall."


    Lena spoke, "How about taking night watches? We can do it one by one. In a cycle, it can help us guard each other and our performance will also not drop."


    The others thought about it and agreed. The night watch started. It started with one person at a time. How could one person keep watch against multiple enemies who would sneak in the camp area and p you awake when you get into a state of deep sleep? The watchmen increased every night for 6 days from 1 to 6 at a time. They suffered fewer attacks with this strategy. On the 8th day of training (the 7th day since they started night watch), the people on watch duty turned their backs and were about to wake up the others.


    <em>BONK, BONK, BONK, BONK, BONK, BONK...</em>


    They all were knocked out from behind. Then the attackers entered the tents and woke the people up by pping them up. You Zhichi, Snow, and Neo were the few people who woke up just as the assant was about to enter their tents. Though they still could not save others from being pped. These attacks showed that if an enemy attacked at night when they were resting, then they are all dead before they could even react. They all gathered again.


    Hercules rubbed the back of his head and said, "Man, this really feels shameful. Now that we can avoid some attacks during the day and at night, this new strategy of attacks messed us up again. What to do now?"


    Fenny spoke, "Change guards one by one instead of all at once. Also, don''t lose morale they are trying to harm our will powers."


    They all understood this. They were all geniuses to a certain degree. The day when You Xi Wang wiped the floor with them is still fresh in their minds. They realized that the attack tonight could have happened on the previous night or even early, but the assants waited till the team had full confidence before stabbing right in the chink to lose both their defenses and morale.


    They all revised the strategy and continued on. Time passed and they all gradually developed a reflex towards surprise attacks and other traps. By the 15th day of the training, they suffered no more than two attacks. That too was only concentrated to a quarter of the team. They thought that they were getting closer to their goal of defeating You Xi Wang.


    On the other side of the ground sat a figure covered with snowkes. This figure was You Xi Wang, he had been upied with theprehension of the array left inside his mind by Animus. 15 days have passed since then and Maya has always been guarding beside him. You Xi Wang''s body trembled lightly, Maya who sat beside him stood up and sat down on her hind legs. You Xi Wang slowly opened his eyes. Maya rubbed her head gently on his shoulder.


    You Xi Wang''s eyes were clearer than before. He felt Maya''s head rubbing against his shoulder, so he also patted her head. He stood up while brushing off the snow on his body. He spoke, "How many days have passed?"


    Maya replied, "15 days, brother Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang nodded and walked up to the camp. He saw that some people were standing guard while the others slept. He liked this ''y for the team attitude.''


    Sensing his gaze, the guard turned to face him. You Xi Wang spoke, "Rx, it is just me."


    The boy on the duty was the gunner, Ihi. He rxed when he heard the voice. You Xi Wang walked over and said, "You guys look good."


    The others also heard himing, but they did not leave their positions. You Xi Wang nodded in satisfaction when he saw this. The gunner spoke up with a bitter smile, "Captain, you still say we look good." when he smiled he was missing three teeth.


    You Xi Wang had an urge tough, but he controlled himself. He spoke to Ihi, "Tell everyone to get ready. Tomorrow I will fight you all with my team."


    Ihi was shocked at first, but then he was confused. He asked, "Captain, what team? Do you mean the Phantoms?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "You will know in the morning. Tell everyone that this time it might hurt. I will not go easy on you guys." without waiting for any answers, he turned around and left the way he came. The team in his mouth was all the spirit beasts. Shadow, Luna, Shroud, and snowke. All four of them had not undergone the baptism of the Body forging paste. He was going to use them as his teammates. If others knew this outside, they will all call him a maniac, but You Xi Wang did not care at all. He decided to fight the team with all he has got.

 Chapter 154: The Shodown.

    Chapter 154: The Shodown.


    Ihi did not wait he instantly told everyone that You Xi Wang just issued a challenge. He wanted to face all of them together with his own team. The whole camp immediately sprang up. They were very confident in themselves this time. Everyone came out and found out that Fenny was missing. Yuki tried to contact her and all she got in reply was a text.


    ''Gonna snip for baby wang.''


    The team cared little. They also had a good lineup. 3 snipers, 3 gun assaulters, 3 spear wielders, 3 swordsmen, 2 brawlers. Without You Xi Wang, they were 14 people. While You Xi Wang was a monster proficient in all the sses. They still thought they could win over the team You Xi Wang created in a haste. They all sat down in meditation to adjust their condition to the peak. The night silently passed away, and the sun rose. The team was given aplete time to adjust their condition with no assants disturbing them.


    They all changed into their battle suits and moved towards the spot where they usually have battle training. The snipers, Lena, Jim, and Kurtis had already left to hide. The others arrived at the training spot and found five wolves standing there. They all recognized these wolves, they were none other than the spirit beasts of the phantom team. Just when Yuki and the others were about to move forward to pet theirpanions, You Xi Wang materialized. He stood between the beasts and the team.


    He said, "Today they are all my teammates. You all see the bands on their legs? Those are array bands. They stop them frommunicating with you guys. Don''t worry, it is not painful. So I would suggest that you all focus on your battle and don''t go easy on them because if you can break the defense barrier on them, then they will be counted as defeated. The same goes for us. I don''t want any fatal injuries before the fest actually starts. Also, use rubber or stun ammunition. Okay?"


    The team pondered for a bit and said, "OKAY."


    You Xi Wang was dressed in his white and light blue streaked battle suit. The distance between him and the team was ten feet. You Xi Wang stood at the forefront behind him was Maya. One step behind Maya on left stood Luna, one step behind Luna to her left stood Shroud. In the same manner on the right of Maya stood Shadow, and behind her stood Snowke. It may look like the night hounds were at a disadvantage here, but that is just a fatal misunderstanding. Beasts can never be at a disadvantage when they are fighting in the open and a Pack of wolves with elemental powers? Not a chance.


    You Xi Wang took out his star-headed spear and took a stance. Hercules and Neo also took up their brawler stance. Behind them stood Bale, Sterling, and Gomez holding their spears followed by the gun squad, An, Ihi, and Wenger. The rear was held up by Yuki, Snow, and You Zhichi. The snipers were Lena, Jim, and Kurtis.


    You Zhichi was leading the squad. She spoke, "Pay attention to any abrupt changes. The hounds are not just for the show. This brat is a monster with beasts on his side. Understood?"


    They all spoke, "Yes."


    Unknowingly, the surroundings were not empty. They were filled with the disciples of the Chen family. Mu Qingling was also present with the three kids. The three Chen elders were also there. Some disciples spoke, "Xi Wang, is outnumbered."


    Another guy scoffed, "Dumbass, he got a wolf pack with him, don''t you know that a pack of wolves'' instinct is to break formations? So what if he is outnumbered, if the formation is broken, they are done for?"


    Some others nodded and praised the guy who pointed out the advantages of the wolves. Chen Longxue heard this and said, "Brats, look at the battle with silence. I will ask you all questionster and if anyone could not answer then you all know what you will be facing."


    The disciples shivered and fell silent instantly. The other Chen elders shook their heads. They knew this old man was very strict and would always give battle analysis as an assignment to the trainees. Anyone making a mistake would be punished with triple training. Kelly was sitting beside Mu Qingling. She asked, "Eldest sister, what do you think? Who will win?"


    Before Mu Qingling could even reply, the three children spoke in unison while their eyes did not leave the battlefield at all, "Big brother Xi Wang (Xixi) (Uncle Wang)"


    Their reply was not based on the tactics but the trust they had in You Xi Wang. Mu Qingling spoke, "Bunny is holding some hole cards. Let''s see what happens."


    Kelly nodded and turned to watch the battlefield. Chen Qianbei flew over from the stands and stood at a distance from the two teams. She spoke, "May the best wins. Let the showdown begin."


    As soon as her words fell, You Xi Wang rushed up to face the brawlers. He put his spear back in his space rings. The gunners in the team scattered, attempting to find angles to zero in on You Xi Wang, but they were blocked by the wolves. The wolves did not go easy on their opponents and directly cast their spiritual skills.


    Luna howled and the entire field was covered in a thick fog. Maya howled and the entire team fell into an illusion. The snipers noticed this, and they fired at Maya. The bullets disturbed Maya, she dodged the bullets, and the illusion broke. But this was just enough for You Xi Wang and Fenny. Fenny figured out the positions of the opposing snipers. She did not give them the chance to change and shuffle the spots.


    BANG BANG


    Two gunshots rang out and Kurtis and Jim were taken out. Lena hid very quickly. Fenny spoke, "Baby Wang, Lena is the only one left. You can let loose."


    Her words did not mean that You Xi Wang can rx. It meant that You Xi Wang can go berserk, and she got his back. The protagonist was at this moment entangled with Hercules and Neo in closebat. He instantly changed his approach of assault and started using Wing-Chun. Hercules threw a fist at his face and Neo kicked his legs. You Xi Wang grabbed Hercules''s wrist and kicked Neo on the leg he was using to stand on the ground. Neo lost his bnce. He tried to regain it, but You XI Wang shoved a mini-muscle mountain Hercules onto him. Both of them fell down and what followed was a barrage of punches and them.


    Chen Qianbei dered, "Hercules, Neo, Out." You Xi Wang stopped punching them and quickly moved to face the Spearmen who were entangled with the wolf pups. But he was blocked by the swordswomen of the opposite team. You Xi Wang took back his spear and reced them with two handguns. There was a smile on his face and he advanced to face thedies.


    Chen Shaoyang spoke, "The guns in You Xi Wang''s hands seem different from regr handguns."


    Chen Moqian replied, "Yes,st night he asked his friend to add a curved de from the barrel end to the handgrip."


    Chen Shaoyang nodded. You Xi Wang added the curved de spanning the handgrip to the barrel. The motive was to give him an edge, and it allowed him to use the guns in a close-quarter fight.


    TINK


    Snow shed, and her sword collided with You Xi Wang''s gun de. Yuki shed from the other side and again a tink sound was produced. You Xi Wang blocked them both, but now both of his hands were busy. It gave You Zhichi a chance to attack him. You Xi Wang saw his sister approaching him from behind and he pulled the trigger.


    BANG


    Two rubber bullets were fired at a difference of a nanosecond. You Xi Wang''s gun barrels were aiming right at the twodies in front of him. His right gun was facing Yuki who attacked him from the left and his left gun facing Snow who came at him from the right. The two were standing in very close proximity and could not avoid the shots. The two bullets hit their faces. You Xi Wang pushed back their swords and squatted on the ground. You Zhichi''s sword missed. She had stabbed at his back, but in thest moment, You Xi Wang crouched, making her miss.


    The boy rolled on his back and with a big grin on his face, he pulled the trigger.


    Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang...


    Six rubber bulletsnded on You Zhichi''s shoulders, abdomen, and knees. She would have died in a real-life situation. Chen Qianbei spoke, "Yuki, Snow, and You Zhichi, Out."


    This announcement shook the audience, but the battle was still on.

 Chapter 155: Unconventional.

    Chapter 155: Unconventional.


    The audience was shocked to hear that You Xi Wang took out five people so quickly. Mu Qingling spoke with vicissitudes in her voice, "Limao was always fretting over her boy''s strength. If she were to see that Bunny has be such a fierce tiger, then what would she do in happiness."


    Kelly Stone spoke, "She would have told him not to becent and never to let the strength to get to his head. But in secret, she would have donated tens of millions of credit to umte good karma for him."


    Mu Qingling nodded with a smile, "That was her way of doing things."


    Celestia was listening to the twodies and watching the battle unfold at the same time. She spoke, "Granny, big brother Xi Wang has always been so strong. Why do you all say he has changed?"


    Mu Qingling shook her head and spoke, "Do you all know there are some nts that are grown inside the greenhouse?"


    The three children nodded without taking their gaze off the field where You Xi Wang was running towards the spear wielders. Mu Qingling spoke, "When You Xi Wang was born, his meridians were narrower than average people. It was diagnosed that he would not have higher achievements in the martial arts. So the boy was showered with more love than any other child in both families. The other people also epted it because he was the youngest in the generation. He focused on his education and cleared a whole section in the codex hall in 4 years. He gained prestige for the family and proved that he would still make a name for himself. Yet what he did not know was that his mental temperament was very weak. He used to cry when someone even joked at him. You know, in his school nobody wanted him to be on the team. It was Fenny who took him in her team and they together won over Neo, Yuki, and An. They used their brains to conquer the team. Once Yuki ventured off in an assessment and found herself in a dangerous situation. Despite being weaker, You Xi Wang saved her life. He was badly injured. He was so hurt that he cried in pain. Unlikest time when his whole body was about to burst like an over-inted balloon."


    Lily asked, "Granny, what changed Xixi?"


    Mu Qingling replied, "The death of his parents. I remember when Qianbei called me telling me to rush to Silica city. I was worried about how the two children would deal with this. When we reached your house, You Xi Wang was already in the hospital. Zhichi told me that as soon as he heard the news he froze from shock, then he fainted after crying. Now that I see him here fighting like a tiger. You tell me did he change or not?"


    Jojo spoke, "Correct analysis granny. Mum told me uncle Wang was not strong from the start. He strengthened himself for the family and for aunty chichi."


    Mu Qingling nodded in response. She did not say, but she was proud that the younger generation of the You family looks up to her grandson.


    ...


    While they were all talking, You Xi Wang rushed up to the spearmen. The three spearmen did not shy away, they all stabbed at You Xi Wang from three directions, blocking off his path. You Xi Wang did something unconventional again. He took advantage of the snowkes on the surface. He dropped on his hips and the inertia carried him forward in a slide while the snowkes reduced the friction. Before the three spearmen could even respond to this sudden change, You Xi Wang used his foot to and kicked the left knee of the spearman called Sterling.


    Sterling lost his bnce, You Xi Wang pushed his palm and in a quick motion he stood up. His space ring shed, and a dagger appeared in his hands. Sterling was not given any chance to counter and just as he regained his bnce, he felt a cold de pressed against his nape. Chen Qianbei spoke, "Sterling, out."


    You Xi Wang did not rest he was about to move towards Gomez who stabbed at him from the left when he abruptly jumped high in the air.


    BANG


    A bulletnded a few meters from where he stood, but the trajectory of the bullet was intercepting where his head would have been if he had continued moving. An saw this, he stopped countering Luna who was attacking him and aimed at You Xi Wang who was in the air.


    BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG...


    An fired a whole clip of incendiary rounds on You Xi Wang. He neglected his own opponent to take out You Xi Wang. Chen Qianbei spoke, "Lena, An. Out."


    The rest of the team members yelled in surprise, "<strong>WHAT?</strong>"


    Chen Qianbei exined, "When An fired off, Fenny took out Lena, and she also shot down An. There is a sticky bullet over their hearts."


    The others looked and saw that there was actually a slimy bullet stuck to An''s battle suit. The bullet was right over his heart position. They all turned their gazes to where You Xi Wang should have fallen. Their eyes were about to fall out when they saw that instead of You Xi Wang there was a log of wood.


    You Xi Wang materialized behind one gunman Ihi, "You let your guard down." he whispered and knocked out Ihi. The rest of the battle wasme. The wolf cubs dealt with the remaining contenders. You Xi Wang won effortlessly. Chen Qianbei was about to announce the result when You Xi Wang spoke, "Auntie, I will take it from here."


    Chen Qianbei nodded. She was interested in what her nephew would say. She flew back to her seat among the elders. You Xi Wang said as he faced the team, "You guys have made a significant improvement but what made you lose was not your skills but your way of applying the skills. If a sword is too sturdy, it cannot block any strikes and be brittle. You are all smart people, you know that brittle things break. You need flexibility in your mindset. My sister would have never attacked an opponent''s back, but today she did. I am happy that she did because in a real battle when you face your enemies, you cannot expect them to be honorable. The only honor in the world is being alive after a life and death battle. This false pride people uphold is what makes them weak when they face those dark dwellers. Answer me, have you ever seen a Dark Dweller upholding values?"


    The entire audience was now attracted by his monologue and they all subconsciously answered, "<strong>NO</strong>."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "That is why they mostly win the battles. I am not saying that we all be like them lest you all misunderstand. What I am trying to say is that the pride and prestige you should uphold is your family''s safety. Is your family more valuable or the false pride that prevents you from being flexible? The choice is yours. Also, if anyone is not satisfied with my approach of assault."


    He stood in his ce and took his spear. He lifted the spear up and stomped the shaft end on the ground. He spoke in a sonorous voice, "I stand here, waiting for your challenge."


    His words made people think again. The ways they had been practicing from ancient times, are they wed? Is it worth it to stick to the old times instead of your family and friends? You Xi Wang''s speech gave birth to a lot of questions. One middle-aged man stood up from the crowd he spoke, "You Xi Wang, I am not convinced. Do you ept my challenge?"


    The audience turned their attention to the man. A guy spoke, "Hey, isn''t that Uncle Ward? When did hee back from the defense forces?"


    Another guy spoke, "I was at the guard dutyst night when he came. He looked very despondent. Something happened, I guess."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Yes, I ept your challenge."


    The man nodded and jumped up from the stands andnded right in front of You Xi Wang. This man''s cultivation was the peak of the core formation realm. He spoke, "I will lower down my cultivation base to match yours."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "The dark dwellers do not spare children, who have never cultivated. They do not match their cultivation base with yours. This is a battle, not a spar or a martial arts ss between friends. Come at me with all you have, sir." he finished speaking and raised the star-headed spear. The tip faced the middle-aged man.


    The man nodded in a detached manner. He took out a bow and arrow and directly pulled the bow to a full moon. The two people stood at a distance of ten feet. If the arrow shot from this distance, it would be very difficult for You Xi Wang to dodge. The audience all held their breath. They also wanted to see how You Xi Wang would deal with this. The man was about to shoot the arrow when You Xi Wang''s shoulder flinched to his left. The middle-aged man let the arrow loose but You Xi Wang did not move forward, he actually turned to the left and jumped back to his right. Everyone was surprised that he dodged the arrow in this manner.


    You Xi Wang turned right, and the man thought that he would jump back again, but this time he advanced forward while his shoulders faced right. He held the spear in his right hand. He understood that he could not close the distance with this man, so he condensed wind spirit energy at the end of his spear shaft. The ball of airpressed and spun at a high speed. The man noticed this motion and quickly took out three arrows. This Uncle did not want to give You Xi Wang a chance to dodge this time. While he was noticing You Xi Wang, thetter was also observing the man. Ward shot the three arrows at the same time, but the target was all different spots.


    You Xi Wang swung the spear in his hand and thepressed ball of air expanded around him. The turbulent air current changed the direction of the arrows. Everyone in the audience was struck by this. Chen Longxue even stood up and shouted, "<strong>WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT IS THIS OPERATION? HOW CAN HE CONTROL THE ELEMENT SO SUBTLY? OH, LORDS, I LIVED IN VAIN</strong>."


    You Xi Wang''s control over the element shocked the people. Just as You Xi Wangpleted his turn, he threw the spear at Ward. In the previous steps, You Xi Wang had closed the distance a little. The previous 10 feet were now 7 feet. At this distance, a seven feet long spear was thrown at him. How could he defend? Just as the tip of the spear shed in his eyes. He felt it stabbing in his brows. You Xi Wang had released his spear intent.


    Ward thought he was going to die. Not only he the whole audience thought the same. They could even imagine a blue spear lodged in Ward''s brows. You Xi Wang was not a bloodthirsty person he reined in his spear intent and held the spear shaft from the end. The spear tip was touching Ward''s be. Just a few millimeters and he would have died. He finally understood how an unconventional technique could turn the tables.

 Chapter 156: A New Era.

    Chapter 156: A New Era.


    The entire crowd seemed to havee to a stop when they saw this scene. They never expected You Xi Wang, to have defeated Ward in such a manner. Chen Longxue sighed and spoke, "This brat has grown into a monster. Chen Ward is a veteran who excels in close range bow fights. He is also a master in de weapons. I heard from an old friend in the defense forces that a few days ago Ward and his team came in contact with a dark dweller and were caught in a hostage situation. Ward wanted to charge and diffuse the situation but they were forced by the dark dweller and in order to save the hostage, they let that guy go. Later that guy and his team conducted a raid, killing a team of 12 people, not sparing even the dogs. So ming himself, he came back home in order to find sce. Huh, I hope he can get over it soon."


    ...


    On the field, the team was standing on the side and they watched the duel very closely. You Zhichi''s emotional state was very simple. She was excited beyond words. She could not believe that her younger brother just defeated the other person with his air elemental spirit energy. As if hearing her thoughts Snow spoke, "Senior sister, how can someone manipte the spirit energy of wind element like that? This element is known for swiftness, shing through, but You Xi Wang used it as a shield. How can he do that? What extreme control is needed for such an operation."


    The others dumbly nodded. They were still somewhat lost in the duel, they kept recalling the scene in their mind repeatedly. Hercules spoke, "Does this mean that my earth attribute can also be a de? Can I also cast long-range spells?"


    You Xi Wang who had retracted his spear heard this. He wanted to show Hercules that it can be down, but he had to hide his skills from everyone. Even so, he was very happy that at least someone was motivated to even think about changes and unconventional methods of assaults. He turned to look at Ward who was standing in front of him stuck in a daze. You Xi Wang spoke, "Uncle, are you okay?"


    Ward woke up from his shock and spoke, "My name is Chen Ward, I can be seen as your maternal uncle. I have a question for you. If you can answer this question for me, then I willpletely believe in the change you pointed out."


    You Xi Wang nodded. He also wanted what question could it be? Those in the audience also heard it crystal clear that Chen Ward wanted to ask You Xi Wang a question also became very curious about it. Chen Ward asked, "What would you do if you have to choose between innocent life and a death-row criminal? The innocent life has been taken hostage by the aplice of the death-row inmate. Will you let the person go to save an innocent life?"


    The entire audience also began thinking about what they would do in such a situation. A guy in the crowd said, "Isn''t this unfair? We cannot choose anyone without defeating one of our responsibilities. Ugh, wouldn''t make any single choice defeat our whole purpose."


    Some people supported him while some shook their heads as the situation was way tooplex and they could not find a correct answer. They all focused their gaze on You Xi Wang, who stood there calmly.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Is it a situation you faced earlier?" he asked in a calm tone.


    Chen Wand nodded and You Xi Wang spoke, "Did you want to kill that aplice?"


    Chen Ward nodded again. He wanted to kill that aplice at all costs, but he was forced to hold back for the sake of the hostage''s security. You Xi Wang asked, "Did the dark dweller use the hostage as a meat shield? Is that why you could not act?"


    Chen Ward nodded again. You Xi Wang turned to face his sister and said, "Big sis, act as a hostage while Uncle Ward will act as the offender. I will take his ce as a defense force officer."


    You Zhichi nodded and came over to stand in front of him. Ward hid behind You Zhichi, just like the Dark Dweller did. You Xi Wang took out his bow. He spoke, "Uncle ward, I will act and it might hurt you."


    Chen Ward spoke, "Xiao Wang, act as you will. I don''t mind getting hurt a little in of a solution."


    You Xi Wang nodded. He nced at his sister to see if there are any openings. His brain was working quickly at this moment. His eyes shed, and he raised his bow and aimed in front of him. He pulled the string and let it loose.


    PENGG...


    The string produced slight vibrations. The people could not understand what You Xi Wang wanted to do by pulling on the string without an arrow set on the bow. Yes, he did not use an arrow when he made his move. Though his posture was valiant and his actions were done in a single breath, looking very smooth. Chen Ward wanted to ask what You Xi Wang meant to do when suddenly he heard a ''pop'' next to his ear. The next thing he knew was his senses blurring for a moment. This one moment was the only thing You Xi Wang needed to rush up from his position to where Chen Ward stood and took You Zhichi away.


    Chen Ward stabilized after one second. He looked at the situation in front of him with bewilderment in his eyes. Not only him, but the whole audience was also the same. They could not understand what just happened. Chen Ward asked with a shivering voice, "Ho....w did you do it?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and replied, "Spirit marble shot."


    Chen Ward asked in a confused manner, "What is this Spirit marble shot?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "We all know that spirit energy is present around us. Once you condense it outside your body, it can also interact with the spirit energy outside. Just like how swordsmen condense it on the edge of their des to make it sharper and swifter. I condensed a marble of spirit energy between my two fingers when I took hold of the bow-string. My bow has a hole in front of the body. I shot the marble out of that hole and let it fly next to your ear. Then I manipted it to st. The explosion disrupted the natural flow of spirit energy around your head. We, cultivators, are always unconsciously allowing the spirit energy to pass-through our body. The momentary disturbance in the natural intake flow caused you to go dizzy, as for the rest you know it already."


    Chen Ward was stunned by these words. The elders of the Chen Family were stunned by this. The entire audience was feeling dumb. They did not understand how this teenager coulde up with such ways to deal with situations like this. If what he said is true, then snipers can totally diffuse the hostage situations with no problems. You Xi Wang was unaware of the effects of his deed and he spoke, "The intensity of the explosion can be controlled by the will of the caster and also I kept it minimal because I was unsure and my sister was too close as well. But a person with some practice where do they want to fire and the intensity as well."


    Chen Ward suddenly fell down on his knees and spoke, "If only I had this method earlier. Those 12 people would have been alive. I don''t know how to get over this grief. Tell me Xiao Wang is there any way I can get over it."


    You Xi Wang said, "Uncle, if you keep grieving over the past then you can never see the better future. You see in the stands, near Granny Mu Qingling, there is a girl with golden hair? She lost her entire family to the dark dwellers, she was only half an inch from death when she was saved by a friend who was the same as her. Not only that, these two children suffered so much that they would have starved to death. Yet today they are happy without forgetting the past. they are happy because they look at the future. They are happy because they want to make a change. So, if a little girl can do this, why can''t you? You can also stand up and walk forward. You must remember those 12 people but do not look back. Try to make this world a ce where nobody suffers from what they suffered."


    Chen Ward was looking at You Xi Wang, their eyes were locked with each other and You Xi Wang''s word gave him a motive. To make the world a better ce. He was a soldier, and he did not want to give up as well, and these words were like a push that he needed very much. He stood up and bowed to You Xi Wang. Chen Ward spoke, "I thank you for pushing me forward. I will try my best to make the world a better ce."


    You Xi Wang also bowed back to him and said, "I thank you too, for trying your best and being able to ept the change."


    The audience in the stands started cheering for him. You Xi Wang looked around and said in a sonorous voice, "Only when we change ourselves can we change the world. Let''s hope to make this world a better ce."


    The audience shouted, "<strong>YES</strong>" hundreds of people shouting together with spirit energy empowering their voices sounded like thunder in the sky. The elders exchanged nces, they did not speak but the content expression on their faces said it all. A new era is about to begin.

 Chapter 157: Good News from all sides.

    Chapter 157: Good News from all sides.


    The battle between You Xi Wang and Ward ended. The speech about the change made some disciples in the Chen family feel their blood boiling, and they all left for practice. You Xi Wang took his team to the stands where the elders were sitting. Chen Longxue looked at the tired expression of the team, but their eyes were shining. He said, "Okay, I allow you all a day of rest."


    The team cheered in excitement. Finally, they can sleep in a soft bed and eat a good meal. No worries about the sneak attacks. You Xi Wang spoke, "You guys have worked hard. Let''s rest first."


    The team heard this and dispersed. You Xi Wang saw two little figures running at him but he did not react. The two figures were Lily and Celestia. You Xi Wang bent down to pick them up in both his arms, one left and one right, and spoke, "How have you guys been? Also, where is Jojo?"


    Lily spoke, "Xixi, Jojo went back to granny Mu''sb to continue reading. We will also goter." these past few days the kids have been diligently learning in Mu Qingling''sb and personal study. They only came out today to watch You Xi Wang battle the team by himself. They were sure of his victory, but they wanted to witness it by themselves. Celestia spoke, "Big brother, those guns are so cool. I will ask big sister Fenny to make me one in pink color when I grow up." her eyes were filled with sparkles more than usual. You Zhichi and Yuki stayed behind and found this little girl too cute at this moment while You Xi Wang was stuck betweenughter and tears. He imagined a killer with pink-colored guns.


    He shook his head and said, "Ok, little fairy, you don''t think about weapons now. Go with Lily and get Jojo out of theb. We will have a meal together. Then how about we ice skate? There is a big ice rink in the mansion."


    The two girls nodded. You Xi Wang put them down, and they two ran holding each other''s hand. Everyone unconsciously smiled when they saw this. Maya''s voice sounded in You Xi Wang''s mind, "Brother Xi Wang, can you put off the array from my siblings? They are restless to talk with the others."


    You Xi Wang heard this and pped his forehead. He came to the wolf cubs and undid the formation on them. The wolf cubs rushed over to meet their friends. Yuki, Fenny, An, and Neo were shocked. It was to an extent where they all stood frozen in their spots and You Xi Wang took this opportunity to take a picture of their silly expressions and shared it on the Metro frame. You Xi Wang turned and said to his grandmother, "Moon Fairy, let''s click a picture together? I will post it on Metro frame. The people would get to see what a great beaut my grandmother is."


    Mu Qingling liked his sweet honey-words and agreed to take a picture with him. She also followed her grandson on Metro frame. They both took dozens of pictures in all angles and various poses with filters on the faces. The two people dragged the other elders, and they gradually ended up starting a spree of clicks and flix. It was only after half an hour did they all stop. You Xi Wang excused himself by the ''I have some office work to deal with.'' and slipped into the room he had in his grandparent''s vi.


    You Xi Wang closed the door and the first thing he did was to call Alester Book. The call connected and the old man appeared in front of You Xi Wang. Alester Book spoke, "What made you call me, Xiao Wang?" this old man understood his disciple''s character. You Xi Wang had never called him unless it was very important. That''s why the question.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, I want to ask you something."


    Alester Book smiled and said, "Go on, what do you want to ask?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, is Animus the mentalist your master?"


    Alester Book was surprised to find out that his disciple knows about his master. He nodded and said, "Master is cultivating in the mountains. I don''t think he came out of his seclusion. How did You know about My master''s identity?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I entered a mental prison array in the Chen family. The array had a divine sense strand left inside by Grandmaster. After I passed the array he interacted with me and passed on his arrayprehension to me."


    Alester Book was surprised. His voice rose a few decibels, "WHAT?" after an exaggerated shout he calmed down. He came back to his senses, feeling slightly embarrassed to losing hisposure in front of his disciple. He then continued, "You are very lucky Xiao Wang, your grandmaster is a very entric person. I tell you he was a riot in his days. You know why he is called the Mentalist, right?"


    You Xi Wang spoke with a smile, "I know Master, but I couldn''t even thank him. The knowledge he passed down, burst in my brain and I was lost in digesting it when Grandmaster left. So please help me convey my gratitude the next time you contact him, please."


    Alester Book nodded in satisfaction when he saw his disciple being filial. You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, the knowledge grandmaster passed down to me will take a long time for me to digest as it is very extensive. At this moment I have some insights on the basic level 1 arrays. Even if it is level 1 arrays, they are very useful. Butst night I suddenly thought of something very interesting."


    Alester Book had looked into his disciple''s record and found out that he has done innovated a lot of interesting things in a fast few months. Although they might not be significant on their own. The number of things You Xi Wang came up with was enough to give him some fame. So out of curiosity, he asked, "What did youe up with Xiao Wang."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, there is a level three array which can detect the moment of the tectonics moments and rm in case of an earthquake. This array had saved a lot of lives in thest decade''s great shift in the west. So I thought, what if, we had an array that can detect the shock-waves emitted by the dark dwellers? In a book, written by Dr. Xabi, the spirit energy expert, the molecules containing energy or any kind of energy inside them are always emitting a very minuscule shock wave. He even proved it by a practical experiment. This gave me the thought that if we could detect the shock-waves emitted by the dark energy inside a person, then we can easily spot the dark dwellers blending in society."


    Alester Book felt he has lived his whole life in vain after hearing this. He was aware of this theory of shock-wave emission You Xi Wang just pointed out, but he never thought that it could be applied like this. If this idea of his disciple can be sessfully realized, then the advantage the defense forces have over the dark side wouldpletely surpass the previous levels by leaps and bounds. He spoke, "Xiao Wang, do you have any specific thought of making such an array?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Not yet master, I might start experimenting when my understanding of arrays grow to at least level 3." he sighed at the end.


    Alester Book said, "It is fine, you are young and you still have a lot of time. Don''t worry, as for now just focus on the battle fest." as a master he was aware of the duty to point his disciple on the correct path. For You Xi Wang, the correct path right now was to focus on the uing battle fest.


    You Xi Wang understood this and said, "Master, I still have something. Was my cousin sent to those monks?"


    Alester Book nodded and said, "Yes, I delivered him. Don''t worry. Also, your cousin provided us with some very vital information. So the council was lenient with the Chen Family."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Master, I will take my leave. You please take care."


    Alester Book nodded with a smile and the call disconnected. You Xi Wang then called Petra, Emily, and Susan. After chatting for a few minutes, he called You Naixin and asked about everything in the family. When the 0ther side told him that the new arrays have beenid down on the training grounds and everybody is practicing with them, he felt good. After teasing and joking around with each other, the call disconnected. You Xi Wang also called Gerrard to check on the situation of Celestial motors.


    The answer made him very pleased. Gerrard told him that the vehicle has been prepared and tested. It was ready to be announced to the world. You Xi Wang called Minerva(fenny''s mother) to check on the progress of the virtual reality helmet. The project was undergoing the final testing and ording to Minerva, if the testse out satisfactory then they can start mass production tomorrow.


    You Xi Wang walked out of the room with a bright smile on his face. He knew that after another fifteen days, it will be the battle fest so he wanted to go back and get these things done ASAP. The field was all set. All he had to do now is watch from the sidelines.

 Chapter 158: The Past and The Future

    Chapter 158: The Past and The Future


    After the calls were done, You Xi Wang apanied his grandparents and aunt to have a hearty meal with the family he also broke the news that he needs to leave while the team can stay here to train. His grandparents asked him what was the hurry and You Xi Wang broke the news that the Tianlong group is about to introduce two products and he needs to be there to oversee the final proceedings. You Zhichi proposed to go back with him but You Xi Wang asked her to take some time off and rx while staying here with the grandparents for a week more.


    He also asked the team members if they wanted to leave or to stay here to train for longer. Unexpectedly, the team members all stayed here and train for one more week and they will return with You Zhichi before the battle fest begins. You Xi Wang called Adonis and told him the situation. Thetter told him to wait while he discussed the matter with the school officials. You Xi Wang then took the kids to the ice pond near the family.


    The pond was naturally frozen by the climate. This area was under the Chen Family jurisdiction. Some elders woulde here to practice their skills once in a while. Those seniors in the family liked nature to be raw, so this ce was left untouched. In the past, Chen Limao used to take You Xi Wang and his sister here and they would both make snowmen and ice fairies. They would sometimes fight with snowballs. Chen Qianbei, the famous ice block, would also join and y with the kids. It has be her habit toe here in the past and reminisce about the old days ever since her sister passed away.


    It is not known to many people, but once Chen Qianbei suffered from a bacsh in her cultivation. Chen Limao saw her younger sister hurt and set out to find an elixir called The rejuvenation wood sap. This elixir was just like sap and was found in the caves in the tropical forests of the evergreen sector. These tropical forests were the definition of how deceiving nature can be. Chen Limao could not leave home by her parents, but for the sake of her sister she ran out. Two guards followed her in secret. Chen Limao traveled for a month and when she could finally collect the elixir, she was attacked by a group of dark dwellers. Her guards sacrificed them for her.


    She was injured and was saved by You Liangxin, who was forced by his family to go out and gain experience in martial arts rather than spending time in theb. The couple got acquainted and after a life and death situation and also fell in love after a month of travel. The injury Chen Limao suffered left permanent damage in her body, which limited her potential. Chen Qianbei has always med her for the situation, but Chen Limao always said, "BeiBei, would you not do the same for me? Calm down, we are sisters. It''s okay, and I did not want to be strong." this statement could have been a lie before Chen Limao met You Liangxin.


    ...


    On the Ice rink, Celestia was gliding on the frozen pond slowly while holding onto Lily''s hand. The two girls had developed a very close bond. You Xi Wang, who was teaching Jojo how to skate, saw this and the corner of his lips raised. Jojo followed You Xi Wang''s instruction and soon learned basic skating. Thetter was about to skate himself but was hit by a snowball on the back of his head.


    You Xi Wang turned around and found his aunt smiling at him. He spoke in an aggrieved manner, "Aunt Bei, this is not fair. You always sneak up. Fight fair and square with me." his words made Chen Qianbei smile. She waved her hand and formed dozens of snowballs. She spoke in a teasing manner that was not eat heard by the outsiders, "Gougou, let auntie make you a snowman." with that she flicked her hand and the snowballs flew through the void.


    You Xi Wang did not want to be a snowman and ran. This was what Chen Qianbei would always do with him. She would make ''him'' a snowman. You Xi Wang glided on the ice rink while dodging the snowballs. Celestia thought of something and recorded the video of aunty and nephew running and chasing. This video was just a memory and not for showing outsiders. Lily also made a small ball of ice and crept up behind Jojo, who wasughing at the scene.


    Lily pulled the back of Jojo''s coat and dropped the snowball inside it. Jojo suddenly sensed something cold slipping down along his back, and he did the ''dance''. Celestia had already started recording another video of Jojo and Lily. The girlsughed as Jojo ''danced'' the three then fought with snowballs. After fifteen minutes when they were tired they spotted a snowman in the center of the ice rink and Chen Qianbei was wrapping a scarf around its head with her back facing the kids.


    Celestia glided to her, and then she startedughing wildly. Lily and Jojo followed her, and their reaction was the same. The snowman was none other than You Xi Wang. They were lost in their snowball fight and did not know when Chen Qianbei made You Xi Wang a snowman. Only his head was revealed and the rest of the body was covered in snow. You Xi Wang carried a despondent look at this moment.


    Chen Qianbei said, "Gougou, smile, please. We will take a picture and aunt will post it on her Metro frame ount." with that said she asked the three children toe and stand next to the snowman while she stood next to the snowman with her arm coiled around his neck. The picture was clicked and posted in a blink of an eye.


    Celestia spoke, "Auntie Bei, can I also have this picture? I want to post it on my Metro Frame as well."


    Chen Qianbei nodded with a smile and shared the picture. This thing did not stop here. They called You Zhichi, Yuki, Mu Qingling to the ice rink and let them take a picture with You Xi Wang or the snowman. Mu Qingling made a pair of bunny ears over You Xi Wang''s head before taking a picture while she had a moon ced over her head. After embarrassing for an hour, You Xi Wang was spared. He spent the rest of the time skating or ying with his family.


    At night the scenery was exquisite. You Xi Wang always wanted to visit ska and watch the aurora lights in hisst life but never got a chance. Today that wish of his waspleted. Frost City also had Aurora lights at night. The group of people spent the night around the bonfire. Lily stayed to learn some more knowledge from Mu Qingling. Jojo was a book worm, and he liked the library here, so he also stayed. Celestia wanted to stay as well, but You Xi Wang asked her toe back with him as he needed her help in something.


    In the morning, after a good breakfast. You Xi Wang, Maya, and Celestia stood at the pier. Behind them stood You Zhichi, Yuki, Mu Qingling, Chen Qianbei, the elders of the Chen Family, and the battle team members. You Xi Wang turned back as he held Celestia in his arms and they both waved at the people. The airship hatch opened and You Xi Wang entered. The airship took off after the hatch closed.


    ...


    In the evening, You Xi Wang reached home. After telling the elders and You Fengxian about the situation of You Zhichi and the kids staying behind to learn a little more, he left home to the site where Celestial Motors was located. You Xi Wang also called over Gerrard and Andrew to meet him there. It was evening, so You Xi Wang asked Robert to drive him. He also messaged Petra and asked if she would like to meet him. The reply was affirmative, and it lit up his spirit. The factory nt of Celestial Motors was further from his residence, so it took them a couple of hours to reach.


    You Xi Wang reached and saw Gerrard and Andrew were already there. Along with the two, there were three more people whom You Xi Wang did not recognize. He disembarked the vehicle and came over to Gerrard.


    Gerrard spoke, "You are here, boss." his tone was respectful and calm.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Sorry to make you wait, uncle Gerrard. This ce is further from my home."


    Gerrard spoke with a smile, "It is okay, Young Master. I have just arrived."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile on his face. Gerrard gestured toward the three unfamiliar faces and made the introductions, "Young Master, these gentlemen are the chief technicians of thepany and they are the ones who made the vehicle ording to your drawings."


    You Xi Wang''s identity was already known to these people. They all greeted him one by one and You Xi Wang was then led inside the nt. They introduced him to the machinery and the assembly area of the factory. The three people noticed the happy and content expression on his face, and they all took a breath of relief.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I want to see the vehicle I asked for."


    Andrews took the lead this time and took the group to a room only essible to the upper echelon of thepany. The group entered, and the lights turned on automatically. In the center of the room stood a vehicle covered with a ck cloth.


    You Xi Wang walked over before anyone else could and eagerly pulled the cloth off of the vehicle. A white vehicle came into the sights of the group. You Xi Wang grinned and said, "You guys have done a good job." as he swept his hand over the lines and the edges of the vehicle. He drew this car from his memory. He had driven this car in his past life only once and fell in love with it. The others saw his actions and thought that he was inspecting the surface.


    Gerrard spoke, "Young Master, what do we call this vehicle?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Countach."

 Chapter 159: Command Accepted.

    Chapter 159: Command epted.


    You Xi Wang stood beside the vehicle, admiring it. He asked, "Do we have this vehicle road-tested?"


    Andrews replied, "It has been tested on the test track behind the factory, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang asked again, "How long before we can introduce her to the world?" The ''her'' in his sentence was the vehicle. Andrews did not understand this as he was not a car enthusiast. He scratched the back of his head while ncing at the chief technicians on the side.


    The chief technician spoke, "Anytime you like Young Master. She has been testedpletely and all the features work normally. Also, her performance is better than the other vehicles. I can guarantee that she will be the face of new vehicles in the future."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Give me the keys, I want to take her for a ride. Don''t worry, I will be on the track." He assured the group of people who thought he was up to some mischief. The chief technician handed You Xi Wang the key.


    You Xi Wang unlocked the wing style door and got inside. The interior differed from those conventional mag-levs of Metropia. The module contained a few switches such as an air conditioner, auto-drive, a gear shift module, which was never seen before. Although the car was automatic, it still had to be put in reverse, neutral, and parking manually. This was a feature You Xi Wang came up with to remove the bulkyputer system inside. This vehicle was designed for speed and thus it should not contain those heavyputers.


    The whole bodyprised graphene. The whole exterior of the car was covered by countless strengthening arrays. There was not a single joint in the body. A sheet of graphene was manipted by spirit energy and precision machines to create the body. Graphene made the vehicle light and sturdy. The chassis was usually made up of Star iron, but because of its heavyweight, it was reced by an alloy SD1. This alloy wasposed of mixing steel and diamonds on a molecr level. As for the 1 in the name, it was the first molecrly manipted alloy of the world.


    The vehicle used the traditional mag-lev technology, but the performance was enhanced by two points more than other sports ss vehicles because of the design. The vehicle was designed in a way that it had a lower center of gravity, which provided it a boost. It flew just a few inches above the ground, just like any car with wheels would. The vehicle was also equipped with aser surface scanning system to change the ground clearance ording to the terrain in advance and save the passengers from trouble.


    You Xi Wang pressed the start button and ced the triangr key in a slot. This key was actually an integratedputing system that would provide the user with features such as Speed limit warning, fastest routes to the destination, and also monitor the condition of the vehicle while it was being used. This key was also acted as the stereo inside the car and the users can ask it to y some songs and videos. It also acted as a link between the driver''s holo-phone. In case the driver gets a call on the road, then he can use his voice to connect the call directly on the key system while the holo-phone acted as the medium.


    Vroom, Vroom...


    The vehicle came to life and grooming sounds echoed throughout the room like a beast roaring. The mag-lev vehicles do not make any noise, but You Xi Wang wanted this vehicle to make a noise whenever the elerator pedal was pressed on. He put the vehicle into the drive gear and the vehicle slowly moved. You Xi Wang''s movements were rigid and hesitant in the beginning, but by the time he drove the car to the track, he was a natural. This surprised the people a bit because they knew that Mag-lev driving took at least a week to learn.


    You Xi Wang took the car to the starting line and slowly started increasing the speed. He drove for onep at a very moderate speed. The real driving began on the secondp. He floored the elerator, and the vehicle flew. Everyone who apanied him was very anxious at this moment because You Xi Wang was their boss. Although they were all cultivators. The vehicle they designed was stronger than them. Now if something stronger than you mess up, imagine the oue.


    This vehicle also had power breaks, which were something never used in any vehicles before. The mag-levs used in Metropia operated with four modules responsible for the speed and the speed and levitation of the vehicle. The Countach also adapted the same mechanism, but instead of using four separate switches to act as an instant break. A single lever was added inside the central control panel. This lever worked under the steering wheel position. If the steering wheel is straight and the lever is pulled, then all four of the maic motors woulde to a stop, if the lever is pulled when the steering wheel is turned to the right or the left then it will activate the gyroscope inside the car chassis to prevent the vehicle from tilting and also it will reduce the speed.


    You Xi Wang did this to make drifting in the vehicle a lot easier. This is what he was doing at this moment. The vehicle waspletely in his control and he perfectly performed the S turn. The technician monitoring the performance chart took note of this. You Xi Wang''s average driving speed was better than the professional driver in thepany and he also broke the fastestp record in this vehicle. This was because the professional driver wasn''t used to the power break and gyroscope inside the chassis. While You Xi Wang waspletely familiar with the lever break. He asked the engineers to affix a gyroscope to add it to his convenience.


    The technician ran up to the chief and said, "Sir, the boss ran the record. He beat it by two minutes. The performance potential of the vehicle is also better than our previous run." his tone was filled with excitement. Just as they were speaking, You Xi Wang parked the vehicle near the service station. He walked out of the vehicle with an exhrating expression on his face. He spoke to Gerrard, "Uncle, get this vehicle ready and serviced for a public run. Also, arrange a media address for tomorrow morning. We are going to shock the world."


    Gerrard replied, "Yes, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang turned to face the three chief technicians and said, "You guys have done a very good job. This vehicle will only be produced on demand but will not exceed 100,000 units. I will give you other designs to mass-produce. Those units will have a standard performance but make sure they are all safety tested, and the quality is good. Also, make the interior of the Countach luxurious. Use wood and leather inbination along with some chrome paint around the dials and the screens."


    The technicians all nodded. They were very moved by the vision of this young man. They all took the chance to praise his driving skills as well. You Xi Wang smiled and shook his head. He exited the factory with Gerrard and Andrew, only to see Robert waiting for him with the vehicle. You Xi Wang bid farewell to the two people and came to Robert.


    He spoke, "Uncle Robert, drop me at CyberNest apartments. I have to meet Petra tonight." his voice was firm but at this moment he was feeling butterflies inside his stomach. Robert smiled and nodded. The two departed in the vehicle and after two hours they reached Petra''s housing. You Xi Wang had texted her about five minutes before he reached, but he did not expect Petra to be standing at the entrance of theplex. You Xi Wang felt very warm and said, "Uncle Robert, you go home. I will stay here tonight and go straight to thepany in the morning. Do me a favor and bring Emily with you tomorrow."


    Robert said, "Very well, Young Master. Take care and please call me if you need anything." he gave You Xi Wang a knowing smile. You Xi Wang obviously understood what this guy was hinting at but he acted dumb. He got out of the vehicle and walked up to Petra with ease.


    [I am going to sleep. I don''t want to witness what is about to happen.] the system spoke. He would stay quiet usually, but whenever You Xi Wang was about to experience love. This guy would turn up and pretend to be forced. You Xi Wang had be used to him by now and ignored the exaggerated sigh of the system.


    You Xi Wang smiled at Petra and hugged her in a warm embrace. Petra blushed, but she liked this feeling. She whispered, "Stop, go home first. People are watching." her voice sounded like a buzz. You Xi Wang turned around and found that the security guards at the entrance were giving him a death stare. They were very jealous of the public disy of affection. You Xi Wang acted shamelessly and left while he held Petra''s willow waist.


    The two reached the elevator and quickly came to Petra''s residence. The two had just entered when You Xi Wang hugged Petra in his arms and said, "Did you miss me?"


    The girl nodded as she looked him in the eye. She spoke, "What will we do tonight?" her voice disyed her anxiety. You Xi Wang smiled and kissed her forehead. He said, "Cook some food, eat a good meal, and then we will dance and watch some movies. After we get tired, I will hold you and fall asleep. How is that as a n?"


    Petra buried her head in his chest but said, "Okay."


    The two took off their shoes and entered the living room. The artificial assistant spoke, "Wee home, sister Petra, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "XiaoAi, you switch on the DND mode. We do not want any disturbance and also lock the doors of the apartment." he ordered XiaoAi. He did not want the AI to provide them any help and causing the two to miss even a moment together.


    XiaoAi replied, "Command epted."

 Chapter 160: Date Night.

    Chapter 160: Date Night.


    You Xi Wang asked the house assistant to set DND mode on and went into the kitchen. He picked up the apron and tied it. Petra followed him, then she also took an apron and got ready to help You Xi Wang. The boy opened the refrigerator and took out some vegetables and uncooked chicken. He washed the vegetables while Petra peeled and chopped them. You Xi Wang took out a deep, heavy-based pot.


    He spoke, "Petra, do you have refined butter at your ce?"


    Petra smiled and walked up to an overhead shelf. Then she took out a small box from it. You Xi Wang took the box from Petra and poured the content inside the pot ording to his requirement. Soon the refined butter was heated. You Xi Wang quickly took out some spices and put them inside the pot. He said to Petra, "You cook the vegetable, I will make chicken, Okay?"


    Petra nodded and sauteed some vegetables on a frying pan. The two worked in harmony without disturbing each other. They did not talk but looked at each other from time to time with a content smile on their faces. Soon the dishes were cooked. The two people ted the dishes and left the kitchen. The dinner was set on the small dining table Petra had. The couple set the table, and the dishes were served. You Xi Wang waspletely immersed in the pampering boyfriend roll. He pulled the chair for Petra, then he severed the dishes. He opened a bottle of red wine and poured some into her ss.


    He sat down and spoke, "XiaoAi, dim the lights by fifty percent." the lights dimmed and You Xi Wang lit up a candle in the center of the table. The dim light illuminated Petra''s beautiful face, giving her an ethereal appearance. You Xi Wang was also very eye-pleasing at this moment for Petra. You Xi Wang yed a romantic instrumental music piece on his Holo-Phone. Petra''s eyes shone with joy. The atmosphere between the two people was very romantic right now. The boy stretched out his hand and held the girl''s jade hand as the two ate in silence.


    It was not something nned, but the DND mode had been applied on the two of them as well. They enjoyed each other''spany in silence with no vulgar thoughts. The two people were very content. Petra knew that You Xi Wang had juste back from his training and he came straight to spend time with her. This made her feel very warm in her heart. She was an introvert and always maintained a certain distance from people. She was 21, but she was a child prodigy in her teens. She was only 18 when she became a full-fledged programmer with a license and then she started helping around thepany. Because of her being a genius, the surrounding people always looked at her with a Halo around her.


    She was idolized by her peer and when that happened everyone looked at her through a halo of a genius. Gradually the treatment of the surrounding people changed. So she distanced herself from the people and only interact when needed. You Xi Wang was the only one who treated her like an ordinary person. His love and care made her open up to him. Women are stage creatures. Once they get curious about something, they would find out everything about it.


    Petra was wiped off when the first time she saw You Xi Wang domineeringlying inside the office of ProCode. Then the way he handled her grandfather, the famous, Old man Shark. When she was a kid her grandfather''s attitude towards other people did not matter to her but as she grew up and she learned how utterly hurtful a person her grandfather is she started to deliberately distance herself from her.


    The two people were eating in silence when Petra suddenly said, "Xi Wang, why do you hate my Grandfather so much?"


    You Xi Wang hid nothing he said, "I respected him until three years ago. You might not know, but your grandfather insulted my parents during the annual party of our then Tianlong Technology. He had the gall to curse my mother by calling her a manipting witch who took away the bright engineer. My father was Old man Shark''s half disciple. My father spared him because of this rtionship only, otherwise, he would have died then and there. That is why I feel disgusted with that man. He is an intelligent person, but he let it go to his head and became arrogant. I hope you do not mind my feelings for him because I will not let it affect us."


    Petra smiled and shook her head slightly, "no, I don''t mind. I will also not let any third person affect us."


    You Xi Wang suddenly smiled slyly and said, "I wonder if that old man would cough up a pail of blood if he found out that his jade granddaughter has been robbed away." his tone was brimming with mischief.


    Petra shook her head saying nothing because she knew this boy is a big baby and he would only be more brazen if she said anything to him. The two people ate and then You Xi Wang washed the dishes while he asked Petra to store the leftovers inside the refrigerator. Petra dried the wet dishes with a piece of cloth and let them stay on the b while You Xi Wang ordered some ice cream for them to eat. He ordered a drone service delivery so that they are not disturbed.


    Drone delivery worked in two ways. First, a man will deliver the order at the entrance of the building, and then an automatic drone will drop the order to the person after it collects it from the guard window. This was a very wonderful service. It reduced the risk of getting murdered by the delivery boy.


    Petra came out of the kitchen and You Xi Wang already had the ice cream in his hands. He quickly opened the box lid and beckoned Petra toe over and eat. Petra took out two ss bowls with spoons and came to sit beside him on the couch. You Xi Wang pursed his lips and said, "Why should you dirty the bowls? We eat directly from the box." He did not pick up the spoon but licked the lid and Petra said, "why do you lick the lid? Is it not dirty?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Sweetheart, you haven''t had ice cream if you haven''t licked the lid." with a smug expression as if he had just tasted the holy nectar he picked up the spoon and the two people started eating the ice cream from the Box. Unknowingly Petra was snuggling close to You Xi Wang when the ice cream finished. Petra asked XiaoAi to y some horror movies.


    What surprised Petra was that the war god, You Xi Wang, a big boy was holding her hand. He would let out a scream at every ghost appearance and he would make sounds when the screen turned silent and the ghosts are sighted. Petra was amused by this and her horror movie turned into aedy by You Xi Wang.


    The movie ended, and it was already midnight. You Xi Wang wanted to go to the washroom, but he feared going there alone because in the movie the ghost killed a person in the washroom while the person was relieving himself. Petra registered his unusual behavior and said, "Xi Wang, what happened?"


    You Xi Wang squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Umm... that... Petra can... can you go... go to the washroom with me?" he was embarrassed and couldn''t help but stutter as he asked this question.


    Petra was stunned but then she figured he might be scared. After all, he was a teenager. She nodded and took his hand and guided him to the washroom.


    [Fuck, are you actually doing this? If you fear this fucking artificial ghost in the movie, then how will you face the tribtions of the world. Mother fucking dog you better straighten up or I will possess you.] the system roared with anger and shame. The scolding did not stop here, [Are you a man? You are letting this little girl take you two to the washroom. Do you know what self-esteem is your shameless pig?] the voice was getting stronger and stronger.


    You Xi Wang pondered and found out that this was indeed shameful for a boy to ask a girl to help in this matter. He spoke, "Petra, you stay here I will go myself. I should not be so scared." his voice was calm and determined. As she heard these words Petra nodded and let go of You Xi Wang''s arm.


    You Xi Wang walked in the bathroom and relieved himself. He came out of the washroom and found that Petra has already changed and was sitting at the edge of her sofa. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Xi Wang you in my room here, and I will sleep here."


    You Xi Wang said, "This is not fair. This is your home how could I let you sleep in the living room? Also, do you not have a guest room?"


    Petra said, "That guest room has never been used, and it is not clean."


    You Xi Wang stubbornly replied, "I will sleep in the living room."


    Petra tried to pursue it, but You Xi Wang did not budge. Although You Xi Wang wanted to say that they can share the same bed but he was still shy. Heid down on the couch and was about to drift into slumbend when a timid voice sounded. It was Petra who said, "Xi Wang, you cane here and share my bed. If that is not a problem."


    Hearing this, You Xi Wang''s heart was galloping like a horse.

 Chapter 161: Surprise.

    Chapter 161: Surprise.


    You Xi Wang could not believe it when he heard Petra''s voice. His heart was beating quick. Since he did not react for a few seconds Petra spoke again, "Xi Wang, are you asleep already?" this time her silky voice contained hints of confusion.


    The teenager was aroused, and he stood up from the couch in excitement. He restrained his emotions and spoke, "Petra, are you sure?" the calmness in his voice contradicted the excitement in his eyes.


    Petra inside the room gulped a mouthful of saliva, and with a flushed face, she said, "Yes, if you don''t mind you cane inside. We are girlfriend boyfriend after all."


    You Xi Wang nodded and walked up to the room. He pushed the slightly open door and saw Petra lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, highlighting her curves perfectly. If not for his image, he would have howled like a wolf. The room was simply decorated with twomps by the headrest of the bed. The bed was made from wood and the headrest was decorated with jade leaves. Petra looked like a fragile porcin doll as sheid on the king-size bed.


    You Xi Wang came up andid down by her side. He said nothing because he could say nothing. At this moment his heart was beating so fast that he felt a little dizzy. He was unaware that Petra on the other side of the bed was going through the same sensation. She was even shivering slightly. You Xi Wang calmed down and he noticed the situation. He turned on his side as heid. Now he was facing Petra''s back. He spoke, "Petra, look at me." his voice was firm and domineering.


    Petra turned on her side slowly. Her reaction was subconscious as she found herself unable to reject You Xi Wang. She turned and coincidently, their eyes locked with each other. The two did not speak but kept looking each other in the eye. Petra calmed down and the pace of her breath matched that of You Xi Wang. The two were lost in each other''s eyes. After some time they noticed this and let out a smile. the smile turned into a burst of heartyughter. Petra spoke, "That was so embarrassing."


    You Xi Wang shifted a little closer to Petra. His action was noticed by the girl, and she also did not shy away and shifted a little closer to him. Their hands touched, then their fingers crossed. Theyid in the bed holding hands. Petra closed her eyes, and she wanted to kiss him but You Xi Wang said, "Petra if we took another step then I might lose control. I love you, but the Yang essence in my body is useful to me. Only after I turn eighteen can I cross the bridge of celibacy."


    Petra opened her eyes, and she smiled, "I forgot you were only sixteen. Also, I might have kicked you out if you did something like that. I am not ready now. Our rtionship is still going too fast."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Yes, but that may be because of my charm. You have been smitten by me?"


    Petra snorted and said, "Humph, I am sure that you are surely smitten by yourself, Young Master. You are so narcissistic. Howe I did not see it earlier?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Do you think I am a liar, Petra?" his expression was that of surprise, voice filled with anguish. Petra thought he took her joke seriously. She hurriedly held his hand with both of her hands and said, "I was joking, Xi Wang. Please."


    You Xi Wang looked at her and said, "I was also joking Petra." a sly smirk appeared on his lips while his eyes brimmed with mischief. Petra was surprised, but before she could express her dissatisfaction. You Xi Wang attack her smooth belly with his fingers and tickled her. The room was filled withughter and begging sounds of Petra. After ten minutes, Petraid with her head using You Xi Wang''s shoulder as a pillow and You Xi Wang held her waist in his hand. The two people talked a little and then fell asleep unknowingly.


    ...


    The next Morning, XiaoAi''s voice rang up, "Sister Petra, wake up. It''s morning."


    Petra was a light sleeper, and she woke up after one call from XiaoAi. She replied in a groggy voice, "I am up, XiaoAi. Please make two cups of coffee and also 4 slices of honey toast."


    XiaoAi replied, "Command epted."


    XiaoAi had a direct uplink with some equipment in the kitchen, such as the coffee machine and the toaster. Petra noticed that You Xi Wang was still sleeping and did not disturb him. She stood up and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for the office. You Xi Wang felt her actions but keptying down because he could only use the bathroom after Petra is done. Their rtionship was not something like he had with Emily and Susan.


    He suddenly stood up and used his Holo-phone and called Emily. The call connected, Emily''s smiling face appeared in front of him. You Xi Wang spoke with a smile, "Hello beautifuldy."


    Emily replied, "Hello handsome." she giggled after this.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Someone is getting bolder, eh."


    Emily replied, "Yes, sister Susan''s teachings are very useful to me." her voice was filled with pride, as if Susan''s corruption was a good thing for her. You Xi Wang helplessly shook his head and said, "Emily, please select a nice suit from the wardrobe for me, please. I have a press address to attend today. tell Uncle Robert to drive you to the venue."


    Emily nodded and replied, "I will get it done Young Master." she would reject nothing You Xi Wang had asked for. She had walked towards his room when he has just spoken the first sentence. You Xi Wang just watched her move through the corridors and did not disconnect the call.


    [How long are you going to y the lover boy? I know that they all love you a lot and you are a love depraved person and you appreciate it, but guess it is time for you toplete the first task. System task is being issued:


    You are to exercise revenge on the Colt family, duration six months. The task is mandatory and must bepleted. The faster youplete the task, the better the reward. The punishment will be me taking possession of your body.]


    You Xi Wang felt like he was hit by a bolt of lightning. He spoke, ''What the fuck did you say? I have system tasks? Howe you never issued one earlier? You told me the punishment, but what about the reward?''


    The system replied, [The system tasks are issued depending on the system''s mood. In the past, I did not feel like it so I did not issue any tasks. Now that I see you indulging in the pleasure of the flesh, I feel like it is too bad to be stuck inside you. I want to go out and have some fun. As for the rewards. The reward is definitely your freedom. I won''t possess you.] the tone used was as if nothing has happened, but this information shattered You Xi Wang''s mind to pieces.


    You Xi Wang asked again, ''Hey are you not an entity sourced by me? How can you juste out and possess me on a whim?''


    The system spoke in an annoyed tone, [Did you forget that the source of my existence is your outburst of negative emotions? I am a dark entity living inside you. The day I want it, I can make you turn to the dark side. But your stupid vows have made that impossible otherwise I this body would be destroyed by the heavenly lightning.]


    You Xi Wang sat up in the bed, his back was covered with cold sweat. His breathing was ragged. He was scared. He did not expect the system to be a dark entity. His brain started working at a high speed. He wanted to think of a solution to this problem.


    Petra was done freshening up and came out of the bathroom. She saw You Xi Wang sitting up on the bed with sweat on his forehead. His expression was horrified. Petra was worried that something had happened. She came to his side and asked, "Xi Wang, what happened? Are you okay? Tell me, what happened? Please don''t scare me. Xi Wang, love, are you listening to me?" the girl was scared to see him not replying to her, and he did not even react to her.


    She held his shoulders and shook his body. You Xi Wang was brought back from his train of thoughts. He realized Petra has been asking him something and when he saw the worried expression on her face, he felt guilty. He raised his hand and cupped her jade face in his palm. He said, "Nothing sweetheart, I just had a nightmare and was lost in the afterthoughts."


    Petra sighed with relief. She pushed back his hand and said, "Go take a bath, you are sweating too much. We will bete if you did not hurry."


    You Xi Wang nodded. He got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. He was about to enter when he heard Petra say, "You can leave your used clothes inside the washer. I will clean them with mine. Okay?" her face was covered by two red clouds.


    You Xi Wang absent-mindedly replied, "Okay." he entered the bathroom after leaving these words behind him. Petra sensed this peculiarity and asked again after You Xi Wanges out of the bathroom.


    Inside the bathroom, You Xi Wang had just started the water shower when the system spoke up again, [Oh, master, I want to tell you something.]


    You Xi Wang was scared and asked, ''What?''


    The system said, [Xi Wang, I was joking don''t take it seriously.] the voice was just like how Petra spokest night just with a manly pitch.


    You Xi Wang froze in the spot. He cursed inside, ''Fuckkkkk, fuck you. Bitch, I was so scared. Motherfucker I would kill you.@@##@*&$^*&$*^%&^#%$(*&#)(*)^@$@#!'' the cursing continued for a long time and the system kept onughing. It took pleasure when he sensed You Xi Wang''s pain.

    Chapter 162: Driving With Style.


    You Xi Wang felt good after abusing the system. Then he asked the system after calming down, ''I just want to ask you. Can you really possess me on a whim?''


    The system replied, [Master, do you think I am like those systems you read in the novels on earth?]


    You Xi Wang pondered as the water from the shower poured on him, then he replied, ''I don''t know. To be honest, you don''t give off the vibe of something that might harm me. Yet this behavior of yours is sometimes very scary.''


    The system spoke, [Master, I am a part of your soul which has gained self-consciousness. You can think of me as an avatar you create in video games. So please I won''t harm you. But that does not mean that I will not pull pranks on you. I get pretty bored inside here, you know, nor can we disclose ourselves to the world as well. Otherwise, who knows how the nerds here will open up our scalps.]


    You Xi Wang calmly analyzed the exnation put up by the system. He found this statement usible, but he himself could note up with anything to solve this dilemma. He shook his head, and the topic ended. He finished his shower with aplicated mood and came out after grooming himself. Petra was waiting for him outside quietly. She was surprised to see You Xi Wang walking out of the bathroom with his lower body wrapped in a towel while there were still some droplets of water sticking to his chest. Hebed his hair, but as usual, they would never be tamed by him.


    He smiled at Petra and took out his clothes from the space ring. He said, "Do you want to watch me change, Petra dear?" he spoke like a rogue. A sly smile rested on his lips. Petra''s face flushed with shame when she saw his expression. She stood up from the bed and ran out of the room like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. You Xi Wang chuckled when he saw her reaction.


    You Xi Wang changed into a sports round neck shirt and jeans. He then walked out of the room barefooted. Petra had breakfast served on the dining table for both of them. You Xi Wang messed up with her a bit as the two of them ate. Then they both walked up to the shoe locker to wear the shoes and depart for work.


    Petra was going to drop You Xi Wang off at the Celestial Motors manufacturing nt. Today You xi Wang was going to drive the new Countach they have produced in front of the press. The couple boarded the vehicle and Petra drove them off to the destination.


    You Xi Wang dialed Gerrard using his Holo-phone. The call connected, and he spoke, "Good morning, Uncle Gerrard."


    Gerrard replied, "Good morning, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "I thought about the sales of the vehicle. We are going to sell them directly. No agencies and no distributions. Exclusive showrooms in the nearby cities, we will expand with the sess rate and also, set up an official web page for the people where we do not sell. Also, contact some e-gamers. Pay them some credits to broadcast the vehicle test drive live in front of their fans. The better exposure, the better the money. The same policy will be applied on the forums rted to Mag-levs. Pay them for advertisement. Broadcast the presentation live on all the tforms."


    Gerrard on the other side of the call froze for a little. He never imagined marketing could be done in this way. It was as if a new world opened up to him. He nodded and jotted down all the things and points You Xi Wang had just spoken. He did not even disconnect the call and issued rapid instructions to his subordinates. The whole marketing department of the Tianlong Group spurred into action. They all were surprised and enlightened after they all received the instructions from Gerrard. They were all cultivators, and they were all smart people. they all could figure out the impact this level of marketing will have on the sales of the product. Although they did not know what the product was, they guessed it was some sort of vehicle.


    ...


    You Xi Wang and Petra reached the manufacturing unit and deboarded the vehicle. Petra was acting as the technical advisor in this project. The vehicle was equipped with an onboard miniputer to calcte the slope change in the terrain to automatically changing the ground clearance. Petra was the one who designed the program and also rectified the minor ws in the vehicle''s design. The vehicle was notpletely a replica of the one on the earth. Petra had made the design a little curved and optimized it ording to the futuristic design.


    Emily and Robert were already waiting for the two of them. Emily came forward and greeted Petra with a hug and a smile on her face. She said to You Xi Wang, "Young Master, Granny Naixin passed a message. The shadows are ready to reap the fruits." her tone was solemn. You Xi Wang obviously understood what it meant, and he only nodded. He said, ''We will deal with it after the event is wrapped up."


    Emily handed him a formal attire from her space ring. You Xi Wang kept it all in his space ring he said, "I am going to warm-up the vehicle. Ask the media people to use the drone cams to record the performance drive. They can all wait in for the presentation to begin after the drive."


    Petra nodded. She would pass this all to Gerrard when he arrives here. Think of the devil and the devil is here. You Xi Wang went inside the service stop where the vehicle was stored and Gerrard arrived with Andrew and behind them, a lot of media could be seen. Petra walked over and whispered the instructions left behind by You Xi Wang. Gerrard nodded and asked the media people to follow the arrangements. He arranged for one of thepany employees present at the venue to control a drone cam, and they ry the broadcast to the contracted E-sport yers and automobile forums.


    ...


    Inside the vehicle You Xi Wang sat with his eyes closed, waiting for the signal and drive the vehicle out. The Holo-phone on his wrist rang. He epted the call and Petra''s voice came out, "It''s all set, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang nodded and silently disconnected the call. He pressed up the ignition switch, and the vehicle started with a vroom. He pressed down on the elerator and the vehicle moved to the startingne. The reporters all saw the vehicle with a surprised expression. The surprise then changed into excitement. The reporters started talking within themselves.


    "Anna, how can a vehicle look so slick? This is good." a middle-aged otaku-looking reporter spoke.


    Anna was a blonde reporter who was renowned throughout the Metropia. She was a researcher on vehicle trends in a Metr channel called, ''Horsepower.'' this channel was particrly focused on many vehicles all around the. She was the face of this channel. When Gerrard contacted her for today''s event. She asked why she shoulde over to the event. Only when Gerrard told her repeatedly that this event will be worth her time and it will start a change in the vehicle trend of Metropia. He also left the choice of whether or not to attend the event on her.


    Anna also stood stunned when she saw the vehicle. She did not expect the vehicle to look this spectacr. This was something that broke the norms. She replied to the otaku beside her, "Jeremy, this is going to be a shocking chain of events. This vehicle is something people would crave for. I want pictures from all angles. Every inch of this vehicle must be on my table tomorrow. Do you get it?"


    Jeremy spoke, "Okay, I am on it."


    There were many people talking about the vehicle just like these two. Even the Metr was ringing with discussions. Petra suddenly spoke, "Please control the drone cams to record the performance of the vehicle." her voice was bright and usually, people would have nced at her, but today the charm of the vehicle was so much overwhelming that Petra was overlooked. She smiled at this situation while nced at Emily, who stood beside her.


    Emily said, "Whatever Young Master does, he always creates a sensation." she spoke as a matter of fact. This statement was based on her experiences. You Xi Wang had always been someone who could attract attention from the crowd ever since he was a kid. Petra, although did not know You Xi Wang for such a long time yet, she decisively agreed with this as this boy has sessfully attracted her attraction from the day they first met in the conference hall of Pro-Code.


    ...


    You Xi Wang sat in the vehicle at the starting line of the circuit. He revved the vehicle and let go of the brakes. The vehicle whizzed through with a vroom. He was already familiar with the vehicle and the circuit. The performance improved by twenty seconds. The people were shocked when they saw this. The drifting glides, the straight sprints, the graceful turns the vehicle performed were all still shing through their brains like a movie.

 Chapter 163: Joy Ride.

    Chapter 163: Joy Ride.


    You Xi Wang drove the vehicle from the start line and then he did his best to showcase the vehicle''s performance and perks. The vehicle was not outdone in any single department. The braking system and the gyroscope enhanced the output to another level precedent to what has ever been seen in Metropia. After twops of the circuit track, You Xi Wang drove the vehicle neatly below the stage and parked it in front of all the reporters. He had already changed into his formal clothes.


    The butterfly winged doors opened and You Xi Wang stepped out of the vehicle with a certain charm. The whole vibe he gave off was very dominating and stylish. He was wearing a ck suit with a red shirt inside coupled with a ck tie. He stood in contrast with the white-colored vehicle. He calmly stepped onto the stage and spoke, "Hello everyone, I, You Xi Wang, the CEO of Tianlong Group wee you all to the unveiling of our newest product. The Countach, a luxury sports mag-lev produced by Celestial Motors. You all have seen the performance of the vehicle but I would still like to introduce you to some of the features we have introduced in the vehicle before we carry on with the Q&A session as well as the lucky ''Joy Ride'' where I will drive one of you through the circuit in the vehicle itself."


    The media apuded enthusiastically. They have never seen such a vehicle design in Metropian history. If not for the live performance they just watched, they would not have believed that it was true. The performance was nothing short of a movie sequence. This drive-by piqued their curiosity and when Media gets curious you can expect the effect the product has created. You Xi Wang raised his hand and signaled the crowd to calm down.


    After the media settled down You Xi Wang spoke, "This vehicle uses themon Mag-lev technology used by any other vehicle in the world but we have introduced some auxiliary features to enhance the performance. Celestial Motors has introduced a power braking system that works under the influence of the steering wheel. A gyroscope to stabilize the vehicle during sharp turns. The design of the vehicle is also optimized to meet the expectations of the people..."


    You Xi Wang talked for 15 minutes and exined the various features of the vehicle to the media. The people on Metr were also watching the presentation with interest. You Xi Wang finished his presentation and another apuse rang out. You Xi Wang again raised his hand and signaled the people to calm down so that he could start the Q&A session. Petra, Gerrard, and the others did not expect their boss to be such a natural in front of the media.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Now, we will start the Q&A session. So let''s begin with it." he looked around in the crowd and pointed at a man wearing a white shirt and pleated navy blue trousers. The man stood up and said, "Hello, CEO You, my name is Theodore Tatum. I work for Silica City Daily. My question to you is, How much this vehicle will be sold for?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a smile, "This vehicle will be made on-demand only. The cost of the base model is 50,000 gold credits." his words caused an uproar among the people of the media. Even Gerrard who stood on the stage was dumbfounded. This price quoted by You Xi Wang was something that could allow people to buy two top-ss vehicles in the market. You Xi Wang was aware of the storm he has caused. So he continued after the deliberate pause, "Thepany will provide three years of free after-sale service maintenance which will not cover any deliberate and excessive idental damage. Yes, I know this price may sound a little too much but I guess it is nothingpared to getting something that defines your status in society. Thepany will sell the vehicle in 2 million colors. They will be painted on demand of the client. The interior scheme and material will also be customized based on the client''s personal preferences."


    The media calmed down when they heard all this. You Xi Wang then pointed at Anna. Anna stood up and she said spoke, "Chairman You, I am Anna Fairstone, I work for the Metr channel ''Horsepower''. My question to you is, Can you tell me why the logo of yourpany is this charging golden bull? It is quite not matching enough with yourpany''s name."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "A good observation Ms. Fairstone. The charging golden bull is actually the logo designated to this vehicle is actually in regards to this series. The Countach belongs to the golden bull series of vehicles we will produce in the future and there will be different logos for the different vehicle series. As for the logo of Celestial Motors, Do you see the starry background on the triangr logo?"


    Anna and the others saw and nodded. You Xi Wang continued, "The starry sky is the Logo of thepany and all are beneath the starry sky. The vehicle series we produce are also beneath the celestial sky." his calm and charismatic voice stunned the women in the media and those who were watching the even at home. They did not expect this handsome young man to be like this. The audience apuded and the Q&A continued.


    You Xi Wang replied to all the media person in a patient and stable manner. He even cracked some jokes to lighten up the mood. The second segment of the vent came to a closure very smoothly. The people then began to wait for the announcement of the lucky person who can get a chance to ride this vehicle eagerly. You Xi Wang also knew this and deliberately kept silent. Anna saw this and she couldn''t help but speak up, "Chairman You, can you now announce who is the lucky person to get a joy ride in this vehicle?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "The first guest we ave today is a well known person in the society of Metropia. Please warmly wee, The president of the Educational Department of the Council of Metropia, Mr. Alester Book."


    As soon as his words fell, the space trembled slightly and a space crack appeared on the stage next to You Xi Wang and two old men came out of the space fissure. One of them was Alester Book, while the other person was someone You Xi Wang did not know. You Xi Wang did not mind and bowed slightly to Laester Cook and the old man apanying him. The crowed was shocked but they all followed suit and greeted Alester Cook and the old man with respect.


    Anna who stood surprised among the crowd spoke, "Is it just me or the old senior behind president Book looks like the president of industrial development department of the council." her voice was low but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the media. Alester Book and the old man on the stage also heard it and smiled. The old man spoke, "I did not expect someone to recognize me as soon as Ie out of the space crack. This youngdy, I am indeed the head of the IDD or industrial development department in the council of metropia, Shelton Hammer."


    His announcement caused another wave of murmurs in the crowd. You Xi Wang bowed and spoke, "I thank the senior to grace us with his presence."


    Shelton Hammer shook his head and said, "You are too humble Xiao Wang. Old man Book here is my brother-in-arms. When he told me you designed a vehicle that will change the image of transportation. I was very curious so I had toe. Now you show me the vehicle."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "Yes, senior." he turned towards the crowd and said, "Ms. Anna since you were the first person to recognize senior Hammer. How about you be the third person to ride this vehicle today?" a slight smile rested on his lips. Anna was having a minor heartattack at this money because she never imagined to be able to sit in the same vehicles as the giants of the council once sat in. How could she not agree? So, Anna ended up nodded her head like a chick pecking on grains.


    You Xi Wang saw this and nodded. Next, he led the three people to the vehicle. Alester Book and Shelton Hammer observed the vehicle with omnipotent vision. They were very pleased with every line and curve of the vehicle. Book nced at You Xi Wang and nodded. He spoke in his mind, "Xiao Wang, you did a very good job."


    You Xi Wang slightly bowed to Alester Book and replied in his mind, "You overpraise me master, This vehicle might be based on my idea but it became a reality because of the technicians and the designers in thepany." he was not being modest but practical. IT was true that he designed this vehicle but it was also true that if the technicians could not craft this vehicle then it would have stayed a design on paper for who knows how long.


    Alester book understood this and nodded. He was satisfied with the behavior of his disciple. Shelton Hammer startedughing loudly all of a sudden. He praised You Xi Wang and Celestial Motor''s technicians and engineers for sessfully developing such a vehicle. Anna on the side was shaking with excitement. She understood perfectly the weight this praise carried. This one sentence was going to change the entire trend of vehicles in Metropia and the leader of this change will be Celestia Motors.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Senior Book, would you like to be the first to ride?"


    Alester Book shook his head and said, "Xiao Wang, take this old guy first otherwise, he might blow a fuse in his brain." who would believe the president of Educational department of the council to speak in such a frank manner.


    Shelton Hammer also did not fall back and refuted, "Stop pretending to be honest old man. We all know why you want me to be the first. I will deal with youter." the two were old friends and thus they ere used to speaking with each other in such a manner.


    You Xi Wang shook his head slightly and politely opened the butterfly door for Shelton Hammer. The door design fascinated the old pioneer a lot. He sat inside the vehicle and You Xi Wang closed the door. Oldman Hammer noted all the facts in his mind. You Xi Wang did not use the normal seats inside the vehicle but a gel filled bucket seat was ced inside equipped with a massager and a mini heating array to enhance thefort. He started the vehicle and the sound was heard.


    Shelton Hammer spoke, "Xiao Wang this sound goes against the no noise pollution of Metropia." his eyebrows were locked together with a frown on his face.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Senior this voice is produced by the 360 surround sound system in the vehicle. The entire vehicle is covered with a sound istion array and the sound will not be heard on the outside."


    Old man Hammer was surprised when he heard this. He never expected such a simple array to be used in such a clever manner. He was also once a young man and understood the charm of the sound produced by the engine. The two then stopped talking and flew off for a joy ride on the circuit.

 Chapter 164: Consecutive Strikes.

    Chapter 164: Consecutive Strikes.


    You Xi Wang drove Shelton Hammer in the Countach around the circuit twice and when the old veteran stepped out of the vehicle. He had an exhrated expression on his face. He did not expect to experience such a well-operated machine today. He walked up to his friend, Alester Book, and said, "Oldman, the spear you want. I will make it for free. Today this vehicle opened up a new world to me." He paused and faced You Xi Wang on the side and he spoke, "Kid, I expect good things from you. Keep up the good work and if you have any designs in the future, then contact me directly. I will help you with the formalities." The old man spoke in a very affectionate manner.


    You Xi Wang bowed to Shelton Hammer and replied, "I will ask the staff to make the same vehicle for you as well and it will be my thanks to you for gracing us today." he was not being humble but genuinely serious in front of a senior who praised him and expressed his support for him.


    Shelton Hammer heard this and felt his vigor recover. He pped You Xi Wang''s shoulder heavily. He had ideas about getting one of these for himself, but he as a senior did not want to lower himself to ask for it. Wouldn''t he look like a greedy wolf? You Xi Wang fulfilled his unspoken desire, which made him thrilled. He exchanged some words with Alester Book and went out of the service station to have a conversation with the media gathered outside. He thought of lending a hand to You Xi Wang. This gesture had two effects. One to support and motivate the youth of the and the other was to give You Xi Wang a push.


    As a dignitary of the council, the identity of the elders was a SSS ss celebrity. While he was busy promoting and praising the various aspects of the vehicle to the media You Xi Wang was giving his master a high-speed tour. You Xi Wang and Alester Book exchanged seats after the firstp where the old man himself drove the vehicle while You Xi Wang rode shotgun. This moment was captured by Anna, who was patiently waited for her turn. You Xi Wang and Alester Book had a slightly matching temperament. They would be free and wild whenever they had a chance.


    The secondp finished with Alester Book, pulling a doughnut drift after the finish. The two people stepped down, smiling and cheering as if they were very familiar with each other. Anna wanted to capture this moment as well, but she did not have the guts to do so. To her shock, You Xi Wang spoke up at this moment, "Senior, how about amemorative picture? I would also like permission to upload this picture on my Metro-frame ount page." his tone was calm.


    Alester Book did not refuse this. He stood in front of the vehicle and asked You Xi Wang to click the picture, but You Xi Wang suggested that the older man posed with his arm resting over the vehicle. Alester Book like this idea when he imagined his posture in the picture and soon he nodded in satisfaction when he saw the picture of the vehicle. He also clicked a picture with You Xi Wang himself. After the two were done, they dragged Anna to join the fray, and even Shelton Hammer was not spared. Anna was given a perfect ride as a gift. You Xi Wang also promised that in the future he would invite her for priority coverage of the vehicles they will produce.


    The three people passed an excellent review about the vehicle and YOu Xi Wang informed the media that thepany will invite the clients to test-drive. This way they can first drive and then buy. They can also ask for more advanced features bypromising a little speed. His approach to marketing was very well attended by the crowd.


    ...


    The media was doing live coverage of the event. While some people were happy. Some people were seething in rage, some were sighing in helplessness. These people were the so-called automobile manufacturers of Metropia. The big names in the market did not lose hope but showcased the capabilities of a giant. They all started teams to adapt You Xi Wang''s design lines. They did not want to be left behind by a ''kid''. There were also some people who could not help but curse You Xi Wang foring up with such a vehicle design and auxiliary technologies. One of these people was the CEO of the Mirai Group, Edward Colt.


    After the event finished he cursed under his breath, "Fucking whoreson, do you think Edward Colt is quiet so you can run around wild and untamed? Humph, I will have a vehicle better than this ready in no time. You just wait and watch." he hated You Xi Wang the most in the world. The reason was simply that he had suffered repetitive attacks under You Xi Wang''s hand. He called over the automobile subsidiary under the Mirai Group and ordered them to immediately poach the people of Celestial Motors and have them design something for them.


    He had just disconnected the call and a barrage of notifications rang on his Holo-Phone. he frowned and opened the notifications. His face changed from a frown to anger, then to a shock. The notifications informed him that fifty members of his group. All were arrested by the executioner department and the three big families of Croma City with conclusive evidence of involvement with the dark side. He was originally filled with vigor, but now he leaned back in his chair. He did not expect someone to take out such a big number of his forces in the city. All he could do now was to defend the rest of his family for the uing sanction of the council.


    His family strength has fallen in the past three months. It all started with the motherboard manufacture contract he lost. Then some force assassinated a hundred dark dwellers in the Colt family. The Colt family Edward belonged to was the core family, but the members taken out were all the branch disciples. Then his son castrated himself for power, following which the three big families pulled out of the investment panel of the Mirai Group. Now Theunch of Celestial Motors and this news. His shoulders slumped and Edward Colt faced his most vulnerable moment.


    ...


    The event ended and You Xi Wang drove Petra to her office and then headed home. He caught up with Robert on the way and gave Emily a ride home. The girl was very satisfied with his gesture and rewarded him with a wet kiss. After reaching home You Xi Wang hade straight to the gathering hall. The elders were all here. You Naixin exined to him that the shadow spies under hermand had collected a lot of substantial evidence against the people of the Colt family. You Xi Wang put forward his thoughts, "Last time we took out at least a hundred of Dark Dwellers under the Colt family, whether it was the people of the branch family or those they sessfully pulled in the dark circle. This time I do not want to just simply kill them. This method will be just a temporary problem for the Colt Family. After they deal with the assassination clean up, they will be back in full swing. I suggest we leak the evidence and have them tangled with this for a long time."


    The elders spoke up, some agreed while some disagreed. You Naixin shook her head and said, "What Xiao Wang said is indeed correct. Celestial Motors has justunched a new product. It is best to cut down thepetition. Doe Automobiles is a strongpetitor and their president is a dark dweller among our targets. So I support Xiao Wang." her domineering style did not allow any room to refute or discuss. The brothers agreed. You Xi Wang promised them all that they will kill some people who were not important in the n to coax the radical elements.


    This frank yet cruel discussion led Edward Colt to slump in his chair ande up with schemes to safeguard his family. But will You Xi Wang allow him such a privilege? He informed the technicians to manufacture a standard Mag-lev for the normal masses based on another design of his. This design was called Beetle from the Wagon series. This vehicle was designed for females of all ages. The appearance was very adorable, and the performance was also very consistent. It also had a gyroscope and power brake system, but it was much slower than The Countach. But the technicians were told that this second design will be mass-produced.


    The marketing department was already preparing advertisement campaigns, lottery campaigns, etc to create hype for this product. The estimated time ofpletion would take at least a week, and they will go into mass production after half a month. This kind of pace was not something the people had ever experienced. You Xi Wang created two vehicles in a month while there werepanies who were still selling the old way. If they found out that the designer was a teenager, the chief designers might kill themselves.


    This vehicle was going to be the swift knife aimed to cut off the right arm of the Mirai group. The automobile industry was one of the major earners for the Mirai Group. You Xi Wang has gotten serious after the system yed a gag on him. He wanted to take down the Mirai group as soon as possible.

 Chapter 165: Money Cramps.

    Chapter 165: Money Cramps.


    You Xi Wang and the elders decided the oue of the Mirai Group. They were all satisfied with the reports they received. To them, this revenge was still notplete until the Mirai Group ceases to exist and the same goes for the death sect. You Naixin discussed some other important issues in the meeting.


    You Chengxi asked You Xi Wang, "Xiao Wang, how did the event go?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a dazzling smile, "Master brought over President Shelton Hammer as apanion. You can guess the sess of the event by this only. The media will totally blow this matter up. We have adopted an on-demand manufacturing policy. We won''t lose anything but only earn."


    The elders nodded and praised You Xi Wang for his vision and approach towards the business. They all had seen their fair share of ups and downs in the business field and understood the significance of You Xi Wang''s approach. The meeting came to an end and You Xi Wang came back to his room. Just when he was about to fall asleep Susan and Emily came inside as well. The two girls were dressing in satin night suits. One blue and one pink. They looked very ravishing.


    You Xi Wang spoke with a smile, "Missed me?"


    The two girls nodded and sat down beside him. One on each side. The girls chatted about how they have been and they asked You Xi Wang about how his training was. You Xi Wang also did not hide anything and patiently recited everything excluding the heavenly punishment. They chatted for a couple of hours and then the girls left. They just wanted to spend some time with You Xi Wang and nothing more.


    You Xi Wang also got to know that Emily and Susan have now started to cultivate diligently. Emily was guided by the olddy Amanda Light. She was the grandmother of that idol Lena Light who visited You Family to learn ice-skating and was also a brand ambassador of the guitars. (this Lena and the sniper in You Zhichi''s team are two different people) While Susan was receiving guidance from her mother. Susan had started to spend one day of the week in the You Family mansion. The bond between her and Emily has grown very strong and they would also group call with Petra and Yuki as well.


    You Xi Wang was very worried about his harem. Though he was not a lecher, he was still a man, and which man ever disliked beauty? But the point which made him nervous at times was the management. He did not want to sound partial so he let the girls settle this among themselves. It was the best way. Lost in thought he fell asleep.


    In the morning, he woke up and got ready to go to the dining hall for breakfast, and then he needed to go back to school. The morning was very smooth for him but he was unaware that the office of Celestial Motors was not as peaceful as his mind. The executives were busy with taking booking calls back to back ever since they turned on thepanymunication line. The same phenomena were going on in the customer service department of the Tianlong group. The customers today were not calling forints but to ce booking orders.


    You Xi Wang had already told Gerrard, that no matter the status one person can only ce an order for one vehicle only. This was to allow the factory to work steadily. The delivery period was set from within a week to a month from the date of order. The date of delivery was an influenceable thing. The client was also asked to pay 25% of the payment in advance. This payment was used to buy the raw material for the manufacture of the vehicle. There were 100 people in the factory and all of them had been taught by the chief technicians. They all were capable of creating a vehicle on their own from molding to finish. Yet they were divided into departments such as Bodypaint, chassis mold, Mag-lev fitting, interior, quality check, array enforcement, etc. A special group of employees from the customer services department was also present to learn about the smart features avable in the vehicle. Their job in the future will be to help the customers troubleshoot the faults in the smart features.


    This whole thing was set-up by You Xi Wang and he used every weak spot in the current vehicle manufacturing for his own profit. The rivalpanies were really surprised when they found out the schemes You Xi Wang used in hispany. They finally realized the horror of this young teenager. They all conducted meetings to counter these but how can they do it when the other party was already two steps ahead of them.


    ...


    You Xi Wang drove his lev-bike to school and left his Countach in the mansion for the elders and his cousins to take a joy ride in it but the premise was that they follow the traffic rules. The elders had agreed to this without hesitation and the first person to take the ride was You Naixin and Celestia. The little girl was brought back by You Xi Wang because he needed her help in promoting the vehicle. This fairy has be somewhat of an Inte Celebrity and had her own fan base. Her fans were mostly females of the from teenage big sisters to grandmothers you can easily find various age groups in her ount followers.


    Her smile worked like a charm and the females also began to fantasize about the vehicle. This was also a reason why so many orders were ced. You Xi Wang deliberately did not look into the hourly reports Ste, and Gerrard forwarded him. He was going to the office in a few hours so why do the same thing twice? He reached the school and found his ss teacher, Madison Midnight to report.


    Madison, at this moment, was taking a ss. She was exining to the students about various roles a person had in a battle formation. You Xi Wang stood outside the ssroom silently and did not disturb Madison. A ssmate spotted him and wanted to call out but You Xi Wang shook his head. But Madison has already noticed his actions. She turned her head towards the entrance and saw You Xi Wang standing there. She beckoned him toe inside.


    You Xi Wang came inside and said, "Student You Xi Wang reporting."


    Madison nodded and said, "You Xi Wang, did you forget that you have been promoted to the third grade? This is the ss of the first grade." an amused expression surfaced on her face when she spoke. She knew that You Xi Wang came here out of habit and forgot about his promotion.


    You Xi Wang recalled this and scratched the back of his head. The whole ss startedughing. He did not mind it as they were all friends and spoke, "Teacher, I wanted to ask you about spirit beast battle formations and also is there any way to incorporate arrays formations with battle formations?" he did not shy away when he raised questions and waited for Madison''s reply.


    Madison nodded and said, "Juvenile beasts are the basic requirement for deploying beast battle formations. Do you have a new beastpanion?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head but spoke, "Maya,e out." as soon as his words dropped a grown-up Maya materialized out of thin air. This surprised everyone, some girls even spat an exaggerated AWWWWW... Maya was very beautiful. Though she did not react to these people and sat on her hind legs beside You Xi Wang.


    Madison nced at Maya and nodded. She asked, "Others also evolved?"


    You Xi Wang nodded. His answer made Madison smile with bliss. She spoke, "This evolution had enhanced your chances to win the battle fest survival stage. I have a book with me. You study it in your free time and gain some insights over Beast Battle Formations also your second Question, I will need to research a bit. How about youe over to my ce in the evening? I will give you the material and tips you need."


    You Xi Wang smiled and nodded. He spoke, "Thank you, teacher. I will leave now I have somethings to deal with." Madison nodded and You Xi Wang turned away when a student yelled, "Xi Wang, awesome work on the vehicle. I watched the telecast. My father had already ced an order. But they said, "We can only test drive on weekend. Can you do something about it?"


    You Xi Wang turned back and said, "Thank you, Levi, I will tell the people in the office to let uncle visit them tomorrow and test drive. This also applies to all the ssmates but just do not leak this outside, or thepany will be tagged as partial and unfair to the clients. Even if you don''t want to buy I will open the test drive for your families." his tone was not arrogant but very warm. The students realized that You Xi Wang did not change and cheered for him.


    You Xi Wang left a message for Adonis and left for his office with Maya. The spirit beast was now big and could not ride on the Lev-bike so Maya chose Shadow flicker to follow You Xi Wang. She traveled through the shadows on the way. You Xi Wang wanted to get her a car but Maya refused by saying ''I will get to practice my skills.''


    You Xi Wang reached the office and found the atmosphere very lively. He boarded the elevator and reached his office. He called Gerrad and Ste to ask about the situation. The duo soon appeared in front of him and Gerrard spoke in a trembling voice, "Young Master, Till now 10,000 orders have been ced and all the clients paid the advance as well. With just the advance thepany has earned a big amount of credits. I dare say that if we were using any sort of hard currency like ancient coins, we would have developed cramps in our hands from counting." he let out a burst of jollyughter.


    You Xi Wang also smiled and said, "Uncle Gerrard. This is just the beginning. We might actually give the servers and tax calction department a Money Cramp." he alsoughed. he spoke after he calmed down.


    "Uncle Gerrard, announce that the people who cannot afford to pay one million in one payment wait for our other models to beunched. These models will be eligible for mass production. They will be the vehiclemon people buy. A vehicle for the masses." hismanding tone was not refuted and the two people instantly sprang up into action. You Xi Wang, meanwhileid back in his office without a care of the world.

 Chapter 166: Reforming Financial Field.

    Chapter 166: Reforming Financial Field.


    Gerrard and Ste were about to go out of the cabin to arrange things as per You Xi Wang''s instructions when they heard anothermand. You Xi Wang spoke, "Auntie Ste, do we have any connection with the banks?"


    Ste turned around and replied, "Young Master, apart from the sry being credited to the employee in their ounts we do not have any special engagement with the banks."


    Gerrard and Ste were both confused when they heard this question. They did notprehend the motive of their boss. As the two were lost inprehension You Xi Wang''s voice brought them back to reality.


    "Do you understand the concept of a debt?" his voice was calm. Ste and Gerrard nodded to express their understanding over debt.


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Suppose someone wants to buy a vehicle from us but does not have enough money to make the payment. That person will give up on the purchase and we will lose a customer. The debt system the bank uses is very basic. They provide loans for medical and education but nothing else. So if we provided out vehicles to the clients and allow them to make the payment in set installments. What do you think the effect will be?"


    The two people suddenly froze. They did not expect You Xi Wang toe up with something like this. This was a world of cultivation and people did not really pay much mind to materialistic things such as Vehicles and luxury but the times have changed people had changed. They now paid attention to their image as well.


    Ste was a veteran in the field of finance. Shepletely understood the weight of You Xi Wang''s proposal. She replied, "Young Master if we do this. The market will not be very peaceful." with an excited tone. The market will rise and so will the shares of theirpany.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "This whole operation will be handled by you aunty Ste. I do not have much knowledge in the financial battlefield." with a smiling face. He paused and continued, "Uncle Gerrard, tell Andrews to make the spoiler wing on every 10th Countach we produce with gold, Simrly discuss and use more precious and rare metals for every 100th and 1000th model. We will stop producing the Countach after 100,000 units. We willunch another model under the bull series then. Update this on the webpage of Celestial Motors and ask all the media outlets to spread this. Oh yeah, you do remember that we have to prepare a special vehicle for Elder Shelton Hammer, right?"


    Gerrard guessed was that You Xi Wang wanted the Countach to be a symbol of luxury. And howe luxury can be afforded by just everyone? He nodded and left the cabin with Ste. He replied with a smile, "Yes, the chief technicians are working on Elder Hammer''s vehicle. It will be delivered by tomorrow."


    You Xi Wang heard this and nodded contently. He then let the two people leave and called over As, Ray, and Carl in his cabin. The three people were the same whopeted with Andrews to acquire an automobilepany but did not find a suitable candidate. Today You Xi Wang was going to have them do something else for him.


    The three people came to knock on his door quickly and he spoke faintly, "Come in," without raising his head. The three people entered the cabin one after another. They stood there and did not speak up thinking that You Xi Wang would scold them. They all felt depressed when they lost in thest task. You Xi Wang did not know their thoughts and said, "Sit down."


    The three hesitated and sat down anxiously. The soft luxurious leather chair was not a hot stove for them. You Xi Wang raised his head from the screen and said, "I want you three to go out and acquire three automobile manufacturing nts. Re-register them under Celestial Motors. But these threepanies must be smaller than the original Celestial Motors. Use their half efficiency to make the beetle and the other half will make this design of vehicles. Then you three will use the third product To run a cabpany under the name of Magic Carpets. Can you get it done within a week?"


    The three people were shocked and then asked, "Boss, are you not going to kick us out? After all, we lost thestpetition."


    You Xi Wang asked, "No, I understand that you did your best so I do not me you for it. Now you have another chance. Go get it done. Discuss the matter with Uncle Gerrard and Auntie Ste."


    The three people nodded and left the cabin quickly. They wanted to get the things done and prove their worth. Though this time they wanted to prove it to themselves as well. Thestpetition was very heart rendering for them. You Xi Wang gave them another chance which showed how much trust he put in the three of them. After the three of them left You Xi Wang put down the work and started cultivating in the center of the room. Maya appeared in front of him and she sat down with her back towards him in a vignt position. She was guarding You Xi Wang as he practiced.


    The sun went down, yet You Xi Wang sat straight immersed in his practice. The spirit energy in his dantian was now about to break through to the ninth level of spiritual formation. He was not eager for a breakthrough and wanted to attain a better foundation.


    ...


    You Xi Wang woke up when Ste knocked on his door. She came inside when he answered her. Ste spoke, "Young Master, the banks have agreed and the terms are mutually beneficial. They want us to sign the contract tomorrow. What should I tell them?"


    You Xi Wang nodded silently expressing his affirmation to the process. After Ste was done finalizing the timing for tomorrow with the banks she spoke up, "Young Master, should I drop you at the mansion? It is quitete. You should go home."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "It is okay, Aunty Ste. I have a Lev-bike and Maya can travel fast by herself. So, you don''t bother. Also, you got this done faster than I expected."


    Ste smiled and said, "Young Master, the Countach sales is like a hot cake. And the banks understand this so they obviously want to sign sooner. I also told them that the Countach will stop production at 100,000 units and 10,000 have already been booked. They had some hesitation but after I rified that we have the Bettle ready to roll for the masses they all agreed to sign the agreement. So in a manner, the credit goes to you." she was not ttering him but genuinelyplimenting the boss for his outstanding insights.


    You Xi Wang stood up from the ground and said, "Auntie Ste, ask the R&D department to provide me a progress report on the Virtual Reality Helmet. The game needs to be in the market now. We have created a good hype and the Beta Testing is also about to finish. I don''t want to look like a g." his voice was not calm but slightly impatient. He was displeased with the work pace of Matthew and Minerva.


    Ste nodded and then followed him out of the cabin. The two parted ways in the parking and left to their own homes. The night has arrived. You Xi Wang did not know that the banks tomorrow will really make things a little unexpected. He unknowingly set off a domino fall in the market of Metropia. The financial reforms he introduced to sell the vehicle and products were not something the people of Metropia ever used. They were technologically advanced but this worldgged behind in terms of marketing. Yes, theygged behind in marketing and finance which is why the industries in Metropia were not conglomerates.


    You Xi Wang dreamed to reach the peak of the world. The peak of the world meant the world and not just Silica City. Although the media of the world was still a littlepetentpared to the market. The Countach was shed all over the world, but that is again because he hired the people to do that. The economy of this world was not as bustling as the earth. Metropia was a world governed by people with strength and view but not experienced. They were powerful people aiming for a harmonized world. To the leader of the world, money was never a thing they ever put in their eyes.


    This is why You Xi Wang as an ounder caused such a drastic effect in this world. You Xi Wang did not know that there were people in the world that were paying attention to him. All this hype was caused by the Countach. The automobile was something the big families all over the world would use. It was something that helped them boost their status.

 Chapter 167: The Shock Of You Xi Wang.

    Chapter 167: The Shock Of You Xi Wang.


    The next morning You Xi Wang cultivated and took Maya to the dining hall. In the dining hall, You Naixin was eating breakfast when she saw him walking inside. She spoke, "Xiao Wang,e here."


    You Xi Wang, who was picking up his tray, nodded and walk over to sit by her. Maya was also served with a big 20-inches piece of meat. When she was a cub all she needed was little spirit energy from You Xi Wang but now that she has evolved she needs to eat spirit beast meat. It not only sates her hunger but also provide her energy. Beast cultivation was very different from human cultivation methods. She sat down near You Xi Wang quietly eating her meal looking as elegant as ever.


    You Naixin spoke with a smile when she watched Maya, "This kid grew up fast." the family treated Maya as a member of the family and not a pet. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Yeah, she has be stronger. In the uing battle fest her role in the survival round will be very crucial." his voice was calm but it contained a trace of pride.


    You Naixin spoke, "I called you over because I sensed that you are suppressing your cultivation base, right?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, without hiding anything from her. You Naixin continued, "Do not suppress it."


    You Xi Wang looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why granny Xin? Big sister also suppressed it. So why shouldn''t I do that?"


    You Naixin shook her head and said, "Only those who rushed their cultivation should suppress it for a better foundation. While the other condition is that if the practitioner consumed elixirs in the early stages. You were born with narrow meridians, any elixir would have harmed you rather than help you. So you were never given any elixir or external supplement. Also, because of this condition, you spent almost all your early period in the first realm. The time period of four years is enough for you to have a good foundation, Xiao Wang. Do you understand now?" her tone was calm and patient.


    The elixirs contained a lot of spirit energy which if taken by You Xi Wang might cripple him. Thus, the family decided to not let him take any elixir. The elixirs also contained a little amount of pill poison. This poison would not affect anyone on the surface but it would affect their foundation. The more elixir they consume the lower their potential will be. So people needed to suppress their cultivation base before they strike at the Core formation realm. Because if the core they form is tainted with impurities then their strength will be weaker than the others.


    You Naixin saw him in contemtion and quietly busied herself with her food. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Yeah, granny Xin, you are correct. I will not suppress it anymore. If I can achieve the peak of the Spirit formation realm before the battle fest starts then our chances of winning will improve. After today I will go into seclusion."


    You Naixin nodded when she heard his words. You Xi Wang was the most talented person in their family. They all had high expectations from him. The way he handled things after his parents passed away was remarkable. They ate their rest of the meal while chatting with each other about random things. You naixin told him that Celestia was given a day off as she has been making videos of the vehicle to promote it. The girl was so dedicated to her task that she slept verytest night. You Xi Wang felt bitter and decided to go and meet her before he leaves for work.


    ...


    You Xi Wang came outside Celestia''s room. He opened it with his special ess. As soon as he entered the room, his gazended on the bed where Celestia slept. Her posture was something very different from her bubbly appearance. The little girl was sleeping with her body folded like a ball. You Xi Wang walked up to her and sat down on the bed. He noticed that the tiny body was shivering slightly. There were some beads of sweat on her forehead. You Xi Wang picked up Celestia in his arms without waking her up and embraced her. He whispered, "I am here Celes. Do not worry."


    The girl slowly rxed after You Xi Wang repeatedly consoled her. Then she unconsciously hugged You Xi Wang tightly and sleptfortably. You Xi Wang decided to stay with her to let her rx. He now understood why she was always reluctant to sleep alone. This was eptable as the trauma she has faced in the past was not something that will fade away after some months of care. She needed to recover herself, others can only provide her with care and affection, the rest depended on her.


    After an hour, Celestia slowly opened her eyes. She yawned and was looking very adorable. You Xi Wang smiled and in a soft voice said, "Good morning, little fairy."


    Celestia was still half asleep so she snuggled in his chest and replied, "Good morning big brother."


    You Xi Wang then spoke, "Do you want to spend the day with me?"


    Celestia replied, "Really?"


    The boy replied, "Yes."


    The little fairy nodded her little head and continued to snuggle in his chest. You Xi Wang was helpless and held her in his arms took her to the bathroom. He then helped the half-asleep girl brush her teeth and only then did she wake up. He came out of the bathroom and let her freshen up. After half an hour, Celestia came out wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. She was looking no lesser than a doll.


    You Xi Wang picked her up and said, "How about we take a ride in the new vehicle? You can eat as we ride. Big brother needs to attend a meeting. Then we will go out for a long drive. How about it?"


    Celestia nodded with a smile and let him carry her. She liked it very much when You Xi Wang pampered her. Maya followed the two and they came to the parking area. You Xi Wang took the vehicle keys from the attendant. This vehicle was to be used by everyone so they left the keys with the attendant for convenience. Although You Xi Wang was still underage, but because his master was an elder in the council. He got a driver''s license. Perks of an OP master.


    After he sat inside with Celestia and Maya the vehicle vroomed to Tianlong HQ. The people on the road all noticed the vehicle and soon they began to talk about it. Some people clicked pictures and some people recorded the videos as the vehicle moved through the traffic. They stopped at a crossing when someone suddenly knocked on the windows of the vehicle. You Xi Wang lowered the window and found a young person looking at him. The person was at least four to five years older than You Xi Wang. He asked, "Hello friend, I apologize for my rudeness but can you tell me where can I get this vehicle?"


    You Xi Wang smiled he noticed that the young man was carrying a guitar on his back. He replied, "You can call Tianlong Help center and ce an order there. You can also use Metro-Frame to find the rted information."


    The young man nodded and said, "My name is Jaeger. Thank you for the information."


    Before You Xi Wang could reply, Celestia yelled in excitement, "Are you ''the wandering singer'' Jeager Matthaeus?"


    The young man smiled and said, "I did not expect to be recognized in Silica City."


    Celestia had stars in her eyes as soon as the Young Man confirmed it. Who would believe that she was a six years old. She spoke, "Can I get a picture with you Mr. Jeager?" her voice was so sweet that You Xi Wang even doubted his ears.


    Jeager smiled and nodded. Celestia crawled over You Xi Wang''sp and came to the window. She swiftly deployed a micro camera. Jeager also leaned a little closer to the window and let her click the picture. The crossing signal turned green and You Xi Wang said, "Celes, go back to the seat. The signal is green we need to go." then he turned to Jeager and said, "Mr. Jaeger, My name is You Xi Wang. You can go to Celestial Motors to test-drive first. Use my name and they will give you a priority token. Thank you for letting my sister click the picture."


    Jeager nodded and backed away as the vehicle moved past him. He gazed at the vehicle and muttered, "This guy makes me feel uneasy." only god and he himself knows what was going on in his mind.


    You Xi Wang inside the vehicle was also thinking the same. The system had notified him that the man was lying. You Xi Wang calcted and realized that the moves he made in the past for development might be the reason behind this. He spoke in his mind, ''System, I guess we need to find out the vultures above our head.''


    [Yes, I have an Idea.] the system spoke in an exhrated tone.


    ''What is it?'' You Xi Wang asked.


    [Hmm... How about I help you develop an Artificial Intelligence System. Although Metropia is advanced, they still do not feel the need for artificial intelligence. This is because their own mind is very strong. But the world development hase to a stagnation point. What do you think? Should we develop it?] the system proposed.


    You Xi Wang drove as he thought. He spoke, ''Let''s do it. I do not want to wait for some viper in the shadow to strike at us unexpectedly.''


    [Well, I will take over yourputer when we reach the office. Rest assured I cannot leave your body so I will just help you write the codes.] the system spoke.


    You Xi Wang then asked again, ''When did you learn to write codes?''


    The system replied, [I can use your Holo-phone to surf the and ess the Codex Hall. I have read at least 50% of the Computer science Section in the past few months. I will sync it with youter. I wanted it to be a surprise.]


    You Xi Wang nearly crashed the vehicle when he heard these words. He never expected the system to be using his Holo-phone when he slept. This was more like a shock then a surprise.

 Chapter 168: LUCY Initiated.

    Chapter 168: LUCY Initiated.


    You Xi Wang came to the office with Celestia and Maya in tow. Today was the meeting with the R&D department. The topic of focus was the development of the Virtual Reality Helmet. This helmet was the medium they will use for people to have ess to their games. They only have a prototype version till now this was something You Xi Wang did not like at all.


    You Xi Wang did not waste any time at all and straight headed to the conference room where the people were already waiting for him. He had called Ste and asked her to arrange for the rted personnel to be ready and present in the conference room. He entered the room with Celestia and Maya. When the people inside saw the boss entering they all stood up and fell silent. You Xi Wang picked up Celestia and let her sit down in his chair as he himself stood beside her.


    He nced at Minerva and Matthew. He asked, "How long would it take for the helmet to be ready?" his voice was not the usual jolly sounding but cold and calm. He was not the little boy right now but the person responsible for a bigpany. He was responsible for the staff and the future of thepany as well.


    Matthew realized this and replied, "Chairman, the helmet is ready but the only problem we face is the cooling technology. The equipment heats up and we were unable to keep it under the passable criteria with the current technology. The spirit stone core and the circuit runs throughout the helmet in a loop. It will also interpret the brainwaves of the user into electronic signals in a millionth of the second. We can keep it cool if it is a little bigger in size by installing multiple cooling methods but the helmet is to be put over the head. The temperature that a human cultivator can tolerate is very high and this can be neglected but what do we do when ites to none cultivating clients?" his words contained a hint of helplessness.


    In the time they were all given the responsibility for this project they have tried all thebinations ording to the modern engineering technology but all the effort in vain. You Xi Wang heard this and his brows frowned. He started pacing around the room while pondering over the solution for this problem. The staff in the room were anxious like ants on a hot te. After five minutes You Xi Wang stopped and took out 15 spirit stones from his space ring. He then arranged them all in front of everyone. The people were perplexed about what he was doing.


    Minerva still had some inklings regarding the array formations. She was a tech researcher and she has seen a lot of techs which worked with abination of some arrays. She wanted to say something but did not as You Xi Wang will be disturbed. Just as she was hesitating You Xi Wang finished arranging the array. Suddenly the air inside the room swirled and gathered inside the array formation on the table. You Xi Wang spoke, "This is a level one hybrid array, The ice wind array. Usually it is used for the production of air conditioners and refrigerators. This array is a little too big to be fit in the helmet. The consumption is also shallow so it can easilyst for three years. What we need to do is use these same spirit stones as a power source for the helmet."


    He paused and continued, "What you guys need to do now is to make a circuit breaker. Every time the user removes the helmet the circuit will break, and the array formation will be disrupted, and it will connect again when the user puts it back on again. I will leave the specifics to you guys. The dual power supply will also be looked into by you guys. I want it to kick in only when the user wants to do multitasking. In future, they will be using a whole virtual world while they sleep. Also, get this tech registered so no other can reverse engineer it and fight for the market. We will take amission to allow their products to be on our market." his crisp instructions regarding the sales were taken in by Ste.


    The staff discussed the n a little and the meeting was adjourned. You Xi Wang called Petra toe and take Celestia for a voice model recording. He nned to use Celestia''s Voice in the vehicle as a smart assistant. When the little girl heard it she was upset at first that You Xi Wang will not spend time with her. Only after You Xi Wang coaxed the little fairy that he will take her to y in the evening for sure did she agreed to with Petra. After sending Petra and Celestia away he went inside his cabin and switched on theputer.


    He spoke in his mind, ''System, the knowledge sync will be done now.''


    [Yes master.] The system replied in an instant. As soon as the words dropped it started synchronizing the knowledge base rted toputer science with You Xi Wang''s primary consciousness. This process willst for a little bit longer.


    The people of Metropia did not rely on artificial intelligence as they always believed that it will make themzy, plus as cultivators, their brains were as powerful as aputer itself. The highest level of artificial intelligence was the smart house and vehicle assistants they have in the world. That too was because of the advancement of the technology and no other reason. This is also one of the reasons for the world toe to a point of stagnation. The stigmas they all have as a cultivator. External help is thought of as something which should be used as lesser as possible.


    You Xi Wang was a person from another world where people dream of having an artificial intelligence under their control. So, with no hesitation, he was going to do that. It took aplete half an hour before the knowledge was synced. You Xi Wang opened his eyes and did not waste any time on it. He simply operated theputer and started to type a program on it. The system said, [Should I enhance your performance? It will be done by the evening.]


    You Xi Wang agreed to this and the system fired up. The typing speed immediately shot up to an unprecedented level. The keyboard did not have any keys but was a touch sensitive panel. The room was not filled with any sound but if anyone noticed You Xi Wang''s hands they will scream in shock. His hands did not move at all, yet the screen was flickering very fast. His speed was so fast that the hands looked still. They did not even form after images. The same thing was happening with his eyes. His irirs was like a flicker.


    You Xi Wang set in the chair and kept typing non-stop. At this speed he could write the code that would take a normal human at least 15 days. And given the proefficiency he has inputer science at this moment. He could write a program capable of self learning at a high speed. The program will also evolve on its own but You Xi Wang also set up restrictions. Such as never taking action against humans or such. He also made sure that the program is proefficient in invasion and evasion so that he can realize his goal of collecting info about the vultures eyeing him.


    It was four in the noon when he was done with the coding. His hand tapped the enter key on the touch panel and the program began to execute. He took this time to call Petra. The call connected and he asked the smiling pretty woman in front of him, "Petra, is everything done? Should Ie over to pick up Celes?"


    Petra replied, "Yes, we will be done by the time youe over. Celes came up with a very wonder full idea. She suggested that we allow the clients to use a voice model they preferred. Such as their loved ones or their idols. She also suggested that we ask Lily and other girls about being a voice model."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "This little pickle is quite a bizz-kid. Well, we will do as she says. I will let the marketing department formte a n regarding this. But we will use Celes''s and the other girls voice as the preferred voice model in the beetle. The customized voice model will only be avable in the countach. How about that?"


    Petra nodded with this n of action. The bettle was a vehicle for the masses and it was not a luxury. Only those with deep pockets could get Luxury. You Xi Wang was running a business and not a charity to give away such high end goods to everyone whoes to his door asking for it. He disconnected the call, by this time, the program on theputer has also finished running and a prompt dialog box appeared on the upper left corner of the screen.


    {Please assign a Name for the Program.}


    You Xi Wang thought for a bit and keyed in, ;LUCY.


    The dailog box changed, {LUCY, the name of the program is registered. Now on stand by.}


    You Xi Wang smiled and typed in the firstmand, ;Initiate self-learning. Read all the material rted to digital invasion and evasion on Metr. Secondary task; program evolution ording to the set guidelines.


    The dialog box changed, {Command epted. Initiating Self-learn sequence now.}


    You Xi Wang was worried that someone in the council must be watching the Metr, so he set the program to be able to manage all theputers in thepany and then use then to extract the information in patches and thenpile them together to learn. Th patches extracted will be totally random and once the program evolves to a certain level it will be able to hide itselfpletely from the watchmen. After issuing themands to LUCY, You Xi Wang left thecabin and headed to pick up Celestia from the Procode office.


    He was in a good mode and decided to take Celestia out for dinner. The girl came up with an extraordinary business idea for him as well so she deserved a reward. You Xi Wang also did not forget to connect a remote ess of his Computer via using his Holo-phone. He was going in seclusion so the system needed his Holo-phone to be able to ess theputer. He also left a message to You Naixin to activate the shadow to monitor thesurroundings of the family and alerted all the elders as well. He told his master, Alester Book about the vultures and was assured by the old man about the security of his family.


    With all his worries temporarily settled he headed to the Pro-Code HQ.

 Chapter 169: Loves Sorrow.

    Chapter 169: Love''s Sorrow.


    You Xi Wang drove his Countach to the Pro-code office to pick up Celestia. It took him an hour to reach the edifice where pro-code was located. Celestia and Petra were already waiting for him at the entrance. The little girl held Petra''s hand and stood at the gate with no intention of leaving. You Xi Wang got off the vehicle and came to their side. He asked Celestia, "Little one, where do you want to go?"


    Celestia loved You Xi Wang very much and his soft voice made her change her mind of clinging on to Petra in an instant. She hugged You Xi Wang who was squatting in front of her and said, "There is a ce I found on the Metro frame. How about we go there? Big brother they make a good cheeseburger." stars sparkled in her eyes. This girl was a very big foodie. You Xi Wang shook his head in helplessness and picked her up in his arms. He looked at Petra and gestured with his chin and eyes, ''will you join us?'' that''s what the gesture meant.


    Petra shook her head and returned the gesture with her eyes and tilted neck, ''I still have work to do.'' The two of them understood each other without saying a single word and then after exchanging a smile they separated. You Xi Wang started the vehicle and took Maya and Celestia with him to the restaurant Celestia mentioned. The ride was smooth although people stared at the vehicle they did not block or tried to start up a conversation with You Xi Wang. The one and a half humans entered the restaurant named, ''Social'' with a spirit beast in tow. The Wolf and the little fairy attracted a lot of attention. You Xi Wang took them both inside the restaurant and found the ce had a good ambiance.


    As soon as they entered a girl wearing an orange cap and matching apron came to them. She spoke, "Hello sir, wee to social. Would you like to have a private table or a shared one?" her voice was very calming


    You Xi Wang asked, "Can you tell us a little more this is our first time here?"


    The girl in the apron nodded and spoke with a smile, "Yes, sure sir. The shared table is where you can sit down with other unknown people. The private table is as the name suggests, it is private. The price for both of the tables is the same."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "Celes, what table do you want?"


    Celestia spoke, "Shared table." in a crisp voice.


    You Xi Wang smiled and gestured to the girl to get them a shared table. The girl noticed Maya with them and she asked, "Sir, is this your spirit beast?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and the girl said, "Spirit beasts are treated equally in our restaurant. So..." before the girl could carry on You Xi Wang understood her meaning and said, "Yes, I understand what you mean. Please get us a table."


    The girl did not dy anymore and took the three of them to a table of four people where a man was already sitting. The man had unkempt hair but his clothes were clean. he wore round sses and had a well-groomed goatee. As they got closer You Xi Wang noticed that the man''s hair was still tied in a clumsy bun. The man did not react when they approached. The serving girl spoke up, "Mr. Rudra, this gentleman will be sharing the table with you."


    The man was called Mr. Rudra. He raised his head and nodded to the girl. He spoke, "Rose, can you get me another bowl of hot soup please?" the serving girl was called Rose. She nodded and left to get a bowl of soup.


    Rudra shook his head. He gestured for You Xi Wang to sit down and spoke, "The staff makes the introduction but this girl is still new. Don''t mind her. My name is Rudra. Pleased to make your acquaintance."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "It''s alright, I don''t mind. My name is You Xi Wang." he pointed to Celestia and said, "This is my younger sister, Celestia." then Maya, "This is Maya, my spirit beast."


    Rudra greeted, "Hello Celestia. Hello Maya." although his voice was calm and soft he had no smile on his face.


    Celestia noted this and she spoke, "Uncle do you not know how to smile?" You Xi Wang retorted her, "Celes, is this how you speak to someone elder?"


    Rudra shook his head and said, "It''s alright, Mr. You. What Celestia said is true. I don''t know how to smile." the tone in his voice did not change much. You Xi Wang realized that this was a man with a story. Though he did not n to pry open someone whom he just met.


    Celestia spoke up, "Uncle, you should smile more. You will feel good." her bell-like voice could even melt stones but Rudra was not affected, on the contrary, a sh of grief shed in his eyes.


    Rose returned with a bowl of soup quickly and stopped Rudra from replying. She spoke to You Xi Wang, ''Sir, have you decided what you want to order?"


    Before he could reply Celestia replied, "Three double Cheese Chicken burgers, with Potato Fingers and three cokes." her sparkly eyes made You Xi Wang helpless. He shrugged and asked Rose to note down what the little fairy has spoken.


    Rudra kept drinking his soup in silence. You Xi Wang asked, "Mr. Rudra, may I ask what is your profession?"


    Rudra replied, "I am an author."


    You Xi Wang nodded and praised, "Authors are very talented people. I don''t know what is your pen name?"


    Rudra said, "My books are usually sad things Mr.You do not read them in peace. It will only disturb you."


    You Xi Wang nodded and realized that the man did not want to say anything, so he did not persist. Rudra spoke, "It''s not that I do not want to know you but I did watch your live broadcast. I liked that vehicle. Good job."


    You Xi Wang scratched his nose in embarrassment. He spoke, "What does Mr. Rudra think about the present situation of the world?"


    Rudra replied with a sigh, "It depends on what the world means to you, Mr. You. To me, the world means just a single person. A person whom I couldn''t call my own. So the whole world is ultimately meaningless to me." his voice contained an unhidden grief and pain. Before they could continue, Rose came over with their order. You Xi Wang helped her ce the food on the table. He knew the little foodie with him will jump at the burger as soon as it is ced in front of her. So he quickly picked up a napkin and tied it around Celestia''s neck.


    The little girl pouted and said, "Big brother, Celes was about to do it. Humph, you think of me as stupid." she puffed her cheeks and looked ultimately adorable. You Xi Wang chuckled and poked her cheeks. He coaxed her by saying, "Who said, our little Celestia is stupid. I tied the napkin because it is my duty to care for and pamper my princess. No?"


    Celestia squinted her eyes and then said, "Hmph, you are forgiven,moner." she raised her chin over to the sky as if she was a princess in real. The two people chuckled andughed together. When You Xi Wang turned he was surprised by the smile he saw on Rudra''s face. The smile was the depiction of endless bliss as if the man was not pained at all. Soon, You Xi Wang found out the reason behind the smile.


    A woman walked over to their table and smacked Rudra on his shoulder as she said, "Rudra, long time no see."


    Rudra gazed at thedy. You Xi Wang understood, thisdy was the reason for his pain. yet, the man loved her so much that just one sight of her would heal him. Rudra replied, "Indeed, a long time no see, Chitra."


    He turned to face You Xi Wang and said, "This is farewell, Mr. You. We will meet again if fate permits." he stood up and left the restaurant with the woman called Chitra. You Xi Wang did not notice much about the woman but he could tell that she was an average person. As the two walked away Rose walked over and saw You Xi Wang gazing at the two leaving people in a daze. She spoke, "Love is such a bad thing for some people."


    You Xi Wang asked instinctively, "Why do you say so?"


    Rose hesitated and said, "Mr. Rudra is a kind and humble man. He has been in love with the woman who just came in for who knows how long. Ms. Chitra suffered a bacsh in cultivation after meeting Mr. Rudra here 6 months ago. Every time she falls asleep her memory resets back to today morning. Mr. Rudra has been enacting the same thing for 6 months. They consulted a lot of people but this condition is incurable. Imagine the pain he suffers every day to see the woman he loved more than himself be like this. Yet the love for the woman in his heart is so great that he ignores himself just in the hope to stay with her. Now you know why he does not smile." she sighed and took away the soup bowl she delivered for Rudra earlier.


    You Xi Wang felt very touched, yet heavy-hearted to hear this. Just as he was lost in contemtion the system spoke in his mind, [Phew, I was so fucking scared just now.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''What happened?''


    The system replied, [The man sitting beside us just now was no ordinary samaritan. He had a spirit energy value higher than your master. His energy was filled with a destructive element. I felt like if I spoke up, he would erase us all with a snap of his fingers.]


    You Xi Wang was shocked to hear this. He used his Holo-Phone and called his master. He asked as soon as the call connected, "Master, is there a person who is stronger than you and has a destructive element in him?"


    Alester Book''s face turned pale and he said, "Where did you meet him? Did he say anything to you?" his tone was rushed.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "No, he sat at the same table as me in a restaurant and just talked normally. Then he left with ady. Saying to meet again."


    Alester Book sighed and replied, "I can only tell you this, that you must not anger that person. At any cost do not anger him. Although he a reasonable entity. His power is not something our can handle."


    You Xi Wang was even more shocked and asked, "Master, who is that man?"


    Alester Book replied, "All you need to know is that the man is the god of destruction while thedy is his love the goddess of creation. We found out about this 5 months ago. The god and goddess woulde out of their abode once every millennium. They would act like normal humans for six months as penance. This time the goddess suffered from an illness and thus the present situation. We are all hoping that they return with peace after the time duration of their penance is finished."


    You Xi Wang was shocked to hear about the existence of gods. They were talking with the mental uplink feature. Otherwise, the people around them would think they were both lunatics. Alester Book spoke, "Xiao Wang, stop thinking about it at this moment. do not go looking after him. A god drowning in the sorrow of love is very vtile."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Did he do something?"


    ...

 Chapter 170: Gods Makes The Rules?

    Chapter 170: Gods Makes The Rules?


    You Xi Wang disconnected the call with his master and ate the food with Celestia. He did not show it on his face. Although he had no difort physically. He was mentally shocked by what he had learned. This was but obvious, how could one digest the fact that he had just talked and dined (sort of) with a god? Moreover the god of Destruction. What''s even more, The god of destruction was going through a hard phase in his love life. The love interest talks like she hasn''t seen him in a long time and this goes on and on.


    Given the traits described by Alester Book, that guy could have screwed the whole thousand times over without letting anyone feel any pain. His brain was turning quickly and the system noticed this. It spoke, [Rx, let''s go home after the meal. I will tell you what you need to know. Also, try not to wet yourself or Celestia might find out that you are nothing but a y tiger.]


    You Xi Wang was instantly triggered and started to curse at the system. This barrage continued until Celestia spoke up, "Big brother, I want ice cream. A big serving." she had a very content smile on her face as she finished her burger. Some ketchup stains were left around her lips. You Xi Wang smiled at this and with a napkin, he wiped off the ketchup stains gently. He pressed a call button on the side of the table to call over Rose.


    Rose came out of the waiting area and asked with a smile, "What can I get you, Sir?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Three big ice cream servings, nuts, and raisins toppings, please." he replied calmly. Rose nodded and quickly left to get the Ice-cream servings for them. You Xi Wang asked Maya in his mind, ''Maya, do you want anything else? You can tell me if you are not full yet.''


    Maya blinked her blue eyes for a moment and said, ''Big Brother Xi Wang, can I just have meat and not the other things to eat? They don''t taste good to me.'' her voice was unfretted and straight. She understood You Xi Wang''s heart very well. You Xi Wang also wanted to ask her if she detected Rudra? Beasts have a keen perception but he decided to wait till they get back home.


    He smiled and said, ''Yes, you can have the meat steak. Wait I will order for you.'' Maya''s eyes sparkled. She was no less foodie than Celestia in any manner. As You Xi Wang was about to press the call button Rose returned with the three big servings of ice cream. He ordered a butter-fried steak for Maya.


    Maya was a spirit beast and she was a predator at that. She was no vegan. Celestia found Maya did not eat the ice cream so she hopped down from her chair and came to Maya. She patted her and spoke, "Mayuu, why do you not eat the ice cream? Should I feed you?"


    Maya spoke to You Xi Wang, "Big brother, please tell her not to feed me sweet things. I feel like I am dying. I know that she does it out of love but please I cannot talk to her until I be a human form." her voice wasced with a plea of mercy. You Xi Wang chuckled and picked up Celestia and sat her on hisp.


    He spoke in a soft voice, "Celes, Maya is a spirit beast. She does not like to eat sweet things. How about I let you y with snowke when he and Fennye back from the trip? He prefers eating anything and everything. He will also y with you, Okay?" he stroked Celestia''s head as he spoke. You Xi Wang cared for this little fairy a lot. He had epted her as his little sister from the depth of his heart. The same was true for Celestia. She would never say put up any serious rejection to whatever You Xi Wang says.


    She nodded and her big sparkly eyes locked with You Xi Wang. She asked, "Big brother, can I share the room with you at night? I feel scared alone. I can go to Lily when she is back." her voice showed how hard it was for her to ask him this. She wanted to grow stronger to be able to fight for those she loves and take her revenge. She was a little child and all these thoughts have burdened her mind, causing her to have constant nightmares whenever she sleeps alone.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "You do not need to go anywhere. You will stay with me as long as you want to okay? I will get you a table for studies separately in our room okay?" he knew that this girl was very hurt and stressed otherwise she would not have asked him for help. Plus how could he deny anything to her? You Xi Wang saw himself in Celestia. He once gave up on himself and Celestia was the same when he met her. She gave up on herself at such a young age. Not because she wanted to but because the circumstances made her hopeless. It was decided that he will never let her face anything like that ever again when he took in that night in the Sahasa Town.


    Rose came back and served the Stake to Maya. You Xi Wang asked her to shift Celestia''s cup of ice cream in front of him as he would feed the girl with his hands. The rest of the dinner was tranquil. The two people ate three big ice creams and clicked a lot of pictures. The little girl even posted it on Metro frame instantly. Maya was also dragged in some pictures and she had no objections to this. Maya enjoyed ying but her beast instinct as a night hound made her introvert.


    You Xi Wang paid the bill and took Celestia back to You Family Mansion. He called the elders in the gathering hall and told them about his seclusion. His decision was supported by the elders as they knew that he had to attend the Battle fest in two weeks. The meeting was very short for You Xi Wang. He left the things of the family to the elders and left the gathering hall. he was headed to his room. He wanted to talk to the system about the encounter. It would be a lie to say that he was not anxious.


    He entered the door and saw Celestia was already sitting on the bed reading a book. He told her that he was going to meditate in the room itself and will set up a sound istion array around him. He asked her to not disturb him until necessary. Celestia was scared to be alone at night. So You Xi Wang told her that Maya would stay with her. That''s it, problem solved.


    You Xi Wang took out some spirit stones from his spirit ring and then set up two arrays. One of them were a sound istion array the other was a miniature spirit gathering array. The spirit stones were arranged and You Xi Wang sat down on a cushion on the ground with his legs crossed.


    He spoke, ''Tell me now. Do gods really exist in this world or any world?''


    The system spoke, [I want you to answer a question first. Tell me what is a god?]


    You Xi Wang pondered for a while and said, ''Someone who has so much power that it can not be described with ordinary mortal concepts?'' he was uncertain about his own answer.


    The system spoke, [A god is an existence that has achieved a level of cultivation far greater than what is known to us at this moment. They are the entities that exist since the beginning of humanity. They are the few who have witnessed the end and the beginning of the universe over and over again without interfering with it. The extent of a god''s power is something that can erase the universe itself. You do not need to know about this for now. Talk to me when you have reached the pinnacle of the world. I will tell you now that every human begin has the potential of bing a god. But still, there aren''t many gods in this universe. You can count the gods at the fingertips of a hand.]


    You Xi Wang fell silent and asked the system after a while, ''Can a normal person be a god?''


    The system replied, [Yes, they can but the premise is that they understand the rules of Dao. Every god has a rule theymand. Rudramands the rule of destruction. He can destroy anything and everything with his power. While hispanion, Chitramands the rule of creation. She is capable of creating anything including living entities on a whim. Do you understand what I meant when I said that you will need to wait before I tell you about the rules? Rules are what empowers one to be a god.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and did not dy. He focused and calmed his breath. The spirit gathering array started working and You Xi Wang started cultivating. The spirit energy of all five attributes started to fill his body and started to gather in his dantian. The five-colored ocean inside his dantian started to grow in size slowly. As You Xi Wang was cultivating the system started to control his Holo-phone with his soul energy and with remote ess started to read books from the codex hall and also used the remote link to watch over LUCY.


    The progress of the AI was swift, and in just an evening it has learned a lot. LUCY even asked some questions to You Xi Wang(The system). Celestia slept on the bed hugging Maya. Everything seemed to be the way it should be but an undercurrent was surging silently. The system was preparing to deal with this current silently too. You Xi Wang would be notified when he wakes up from his cultivation.

 Chapter 171: Seclusion.

    Chapter 171: Seclusion.


    You Xi Wang sat in meditation inside his room surrounded by the sound istion array. The spirit energy inside the room was higher than usual. Inside the formation, You Xi Wang waspletely immersed in circting the spirit energy throughout his body ording to the five elemental sutras. The spirit energy flowed through his body and then finally after one cycle it settled inside his dantian erging the Spirit Sea.


    You Xi Wang had it easier than other cultivators as he had a five elemental body and can absorb the spirit energy without and hesitation. Usually, a cultivator would have to focus on a specific attribute before he can absorb it inside his dantian. You Xi Wang also had another advantage, that was the supreme grade five elemental sutras. This cultivation method was a present to him from his Master, Alester Book. Alester Book found this cirction method in an ancient ruin he identally stumbled upon in his travels. He was unable to perceive this method. While his disciple was an entity this method was tailor-made for.


    This method had an unstated test hidden inside it. The practitioner will gain immense power but there is no free lunch in this world. If your heart has even the slightest hint of greed towards power, this boon will turn into a curse. The spirit energy will not be absorbed but repelled by the body. You Xi Wang was unaware of this and thankful he was not someone who lusted for power. What he wanted was to attain the peak of the world with all his close ones present. The method kept running smoothly.


    The way this method tracked for the traces of the person''s evil intentions was rted to the soul of a person and it was something no one would understand until they have mastered the rule of soul. You Xi Wang used this method to grow,pletely unaware of the hidden sword which would behead him as soon as he goes astray. The system was aware about it but it did not tell You Xi Wang. The reason? You Xi Wang was one of the people who would always think of the things he should not do. Yet, in the end, he would do it. So the system did not tell You Xi Wang in order to prevent this subconscious rebel creature to end up like a bum.


    As You Xi Wang was peacefully drowned in seclusion. While outside the world boiled. The people from all over the world were spotted by You Naixin''s shadow guard. The foreign forces also knew that their work being watched so they behaved. The system was in charge of theputers of the Tianlong Group. The system issuedmands for LUCY to learn more information and evolve.


    Lucy was evolving at a crazy speed. You Xi Wang''s suspicion that some from the council might be staring at the Metr was proved to be true. The system asked LUCY to invade the Councilwork slowly after Lucy told him that she was done learning all the information there over the evasion and invasion. It waste in the night when LUCY sneaked inside the council server and watched their movements. The system was so OP that he figured out the pattern of the Council online patrol. Lucy was then asked to search for people of big families. They find out the details through the Council database. Then they matched all the data with the surveince deployed in SILICA City.


    The system then asked LUCY to imnt a ghost eavesdropping program in the Holo-phone of the following people. The system also issued an anonymous warning to all these people, that if they did not disturb the peace of the city they will be fine otherwise they can imagine how their enemies would feel to get their information free of cost. The other parties were surprised and did not make any moves yet the other party still found them. Some people were scared while some were confused about the leak of their presence and contact so soon.


    ...


    Days passed in a blink. The system took care of everything in thepany remotely and it still watched the foreign vultures over their heads. You Zhichi and the team have alsoe back after their training. You Naixin asked You Zhichi to stay indoors as the city is chaotic. You Xi Wang''s friends were also informed about this. The four big families were not careless, they all had taken a share of the blood shackle fruit and were also very cautious when something like this happened. The elders of the four families came to a unanimous decision to deploy their own intelligenceworks throughout the city to keep a watch over the people of the city.


    Thepany was facing restrictions from the vultures but the system was not to be trifled with. It allowed Lucy a free handle to scrap the foreign forces in the city. The next thing anybody knew was the small and big dark secrets of thepanies were anonymously mailed to the defense forces in of the city office. It was chaos, the city was turned up and down. The defense forces conducted spontaneous raids throughout the city.


    Council forces were never easy to deal with once they acted with evidence of the slightest of errors. The forces included in the raid were not big names themselves but the cover of the big names. The system cooperated with LUCY and drove them all out of the city temporarily if not permanent. The system inside You Xi Wang was a part of his own existence that is why in order to ease the troubles of You Xi Wang, the system acted on its own. The system was not only dealing with the enemies in the shadows but also learning new things. In the past week, it has almost finished reading everything aboutputer technology in this world. The next thing he was aiming for was medical.


    The system was reading these things from the Codex hall, all his progress was monitored and recorded. Alester Book paid special attention to this. He was aware that his disciple was a genius whopleted the Material Science section at the age of 14. So when he saw that You Xi Wang was also learning aboutputer science then he felt happy. The field ofputers is ever-growing and thus the codex hall contained a lot of knowledge. Alester Book also knew that You Xi Wang was in seclusion. This is why he felt even more satisfied to find out that his disciple was not only focusing on raising his strength but also knowledge.


    ...


    Outside the room, You Zhichi opened the door. Today, You Xi Wang has been secluding himself for 14 days. He had not eaten or drunk anything in this period of time and as his elder sister, she was worried about his health. A person needed to eat food once a week in order to sustain when they have reached the Core formation realm as the spirit energy inside them will keep them vigorous. But You Xi Wang was only at the peak of the spiritual formation realm. Also, he was needed to report at the school tonight as they would be traveling to the location where the battle fest was held.


    You Xi Wang was unaware that his sister has been waiting for him and he kept cultivating. The spirit energy inside his dantian was now separated into five different colored oceans. What he needed to do now was to form the cores. Yes, cores. The more attributes you have the more cores you will form. This was a very crucial step in one''s cultivation. You Xi Wang needed to micro-manage his spiritual energy to form the cores of the five elements together. One mistake and he will turn into a blood mist.


    Spirit energy may make you strong but it is a time bomb. If you cannot control it. Then it will overwhelm you and make you disappear. You Xi Wang opened his eyes before taking the final step. He spotted You Zhichi sitting in front of his array sphere. He spoke to her with soul sense, "Big Sis, guard me. I am going to breakthrough. I need to make five cores. Bless me." he spoke with a tranquil expression.


    You Zhichi wanted to say something but stopped herself and smiled. Maya was taken away by Celestia in the morning, but at this moment she sensed You Xi Wang trying to make a breakthrough. She immediately shed through the mansion and came to his side. She looked at You Zhichi and growled. Her brows frowned just like a worried human.


    You Zhichi patted her soft fur and spoke in a soft voice, "Don''t worry he will be fine. Let''s guard him well. Okay?" Maya calmed down and nodded. Then she went out of the room and sat down facing outside, guarding the door behind her. She sat on her hind legs and her ears flickered from time to time. You Zhichi stayed inside the room. She informed You Naixin and the family about the situation. Soon, You Naixin came and sat down beside Maya outside.


    You Qiangda and the other elders instructed the family mansion to be locked down. They themselves stood guard in the eight directions of the mansion while one of them stood on the roof. Every member of the family was on high alert because they were now aware that You Xi Wang has five elemental talents. You Zhichi told this to everyone because this cannot be hidden anymore. The glow radiated from the cultivator''s body when he/she makes it to the core formation will radiate the elements he can master. And when You Xi Wang radiates a five-color aura, it will be a big shock and will definitely attract attention from everyone.


    You Zhichi even called Alester Book. The old man immediately responded and came to the You Mansion. He then deployed a heaven istion formation. This formation was an 8th-grade formation capable of hiding anything and everything from the peeking eyes. Only someone as powerful as the caster can look inside it. The others will only see the usual scenery. It was just like a trick used to fool the surveince camera.

 Chapter 172: Five Elemental Core Formation.

    Chapter 172: Five Elemental Core Formation.


    Before deploying the guards, You Naixin addressed them all and told them that the information they all hade to know is not to be discussed with anyone regardless they are from the family or not. Anyone found in vition of the gag order will be killed. This was an addition to the family rules. If the secret of You Xi Wang being five elemental cultivator leaks before he is significantly strong then it will spell disaster for the family. The guards were none other than the young members of the family. How could they not adhere to the orders of the elders?


    The anxious You family calmed down when Alester Book arrived with an 8th-grade illusion and defense array. Other than the 8th-grade array he was also given a mini 9th-grade array disk by his master, Animus, the mentalist. Beforeing over Alester Book contacted his master through special means. Animus passed him a 9th-grade concealment array. This array could only cover the space of 200 meters. So, Alester Book set the array disk near You Xi Wang.


    The array disk activated and covered the whole room with ease. No one was able to detect the deployment. You Zhichi was standing at the side when Alester Book setup the array disk.


    She spoke in a grateful voice, "Senior, thank you very much foring over so soon and using such precious treasures for the safety of my brother and the family."


    Alester Book shook his head and said, "Xiao Chi, he is myst disciple. Given his talent and nature. He is worth it. Also, this array diskes from his grandmaster. Animus, the strongest array master of the world." his voice carried a hint of pride as he introduced his master.


    You Zhichi was shocked and then she felt joy from the bottom of her heart. Her brother was a genius who could be the grand disciple and disciple of such great personas, of course, she was happy. Alester Book nced at You Zhichi and then abruptly asked, "Do you practice the maiden''s heart sutra?"


    You Zhichi was not surprised and did not hide anything as she could not hide anything from an expert in Nirvana rebirth realm. She nodded while keeping quiet. Alester Book waved his sleeves and created a sound istion sphere around them. He spoke, "Do you have a master?"


    You Zhichi shook her head in denial. Alester Book then spoke, "You know that this technique will need you to be alone forever?"


    You Zhichi smiled and said, "Who said I will be alone forever senior? My brother is with me. So is my family. I know that I can never have any man in my life but I never felt that it is necessary to have a man to support you. I can do things on my own and if I need support then my gougou is more than enough. You also know that senior." she replied in a tone that was neither too humble nor too arrogant.


    Alester Book smiled and nodded. He spoke, "I happen to have a senior sister. Shecks a disciple. The coincidence is that she also practices a method simr to yours. Let Xiao Wang breakthrough and I will call that olddy to introduce you to her. Do not worry she will test you properly first. As for her identity, I will tell you after she arrives."


    You Zhichi did not expect Alester Book toe up with such an idea. She smiled and bowed to him with respect and gratitude. Alester Book quickly helped her up and then dispersed the sound istion sphere and sat down in the room with his aura converged. You Zhichi was anxious about her brother so she also sat down in front of You Xi Wang on a cushion and converged her aura. They both did this to prevent from causing any disturbance in You Xi Wang''s cultivation.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was unaware of the situation outside and he focused on the spirit oceans inside him. He slowly willed for the spirit energy in the oceans to turn into wisps. Soon there were hundreds of wisps floating of the oceans. You Xi Wang was not proficient in controlling such an amount so he first reduced the number of wisps to only ten at a time. Then he controlled the wisps to merge. This process was slow but the number of wisps merging over an ocean had to be kept the same. So You Xi Wang applied the principle of slow is smooth and smooth is fast.


    The wisps merged and created a strand of shiny spirit energy. You Xi Wang controlled the strands to move slightly higher and created some room for the wisps to emerge. Again ten wisps emerged from the ocean and slowly merged. This process continued till there were 10 strands of the spirit energy. You Xi Wang sighed and merged the strands. The strands together formed a rope. You Xi Wang did not have the luxury to admire these ropes and continued to control the spirit energy in the oceans to form wisps. Wisps then merged into strands. The strands then formed Ropes.


    When ten ropes, each as long as his forearm was formed. He slowly merged them 10 at a time, 2 of each element. The ropes were not tied together but willed to dissolve in each other. The dissolved spirit energy formed a ball. There were five balls over each ocean. He then merged the balls and then condensed them into an even smaller ball. This process was again repeated. Wisps to strands than ropes into balls. The balls then became condensed seeds. Yes, You Xi Wang condensed the energy balls that were as big as the tenth of a sesame seed. And to sessfully form a core one should have a core as big as a ping-pong ball.


    He sat there and kept repeating the cycle. You Xi Wang was definitely a genius. As he repeated the process he learned how to control the spirit energy. His control over the spirit energy grew quickly. Unknowingly, two hours have passed. Sweat beads formed on his forehead. He looked tired. Watching him in such a state You Zhichi was anxious. The only thing that made her patient was Alester Book, who sat on the side silently. He did not have any trace of worry in his eyes.


    What she did not know was that Alester Book was even more nervous inside his heart. He thought to himself as he watched You Xi Wang, ''This kid sure ain''t an easy one to deal with. ording to the cultivation method he practices. The only requirement is to keep the five elements in bnce. Although it will be slower, this is definitely safer. But who would have thought that this boy would form the core in steps? I feel depressed as I watch him. No wonder master took a liking to him.''


    ...


    Inside You Xi Wang''s dantian the ocean has now shrunk intokes. He was now very tired. The system, who has been keeping quiet spoke, [I''ll help, you recover some energy.]


    You Xi Wang did not let go of the controlpletely. He just became a co-pilot and let the system drive. The system used the soul energy to control the spirit energy faster. The pace of forming a core grew faster than You Xi Wang himself. Alester Book on the outside noticed this and a sense of surprise took over him. He could not find a valid exnation for such a process. He pondered for a while and then gave up. He was an expert himself and understood that just like anyone else his disciple also has his own secrets.


    The system helped You Xi Wang to recover his strength and in just an hour made the spiritkes shrink into spirit ponds. You Xi Wang then took over and continued the process. It took him another hour topletely condense the spirit energy into seeds. He was not at the most vulnerable step of his cultivation. One slightest mistake will cause his death. There was no in-between, either you die or either you cross this bridge.


    ...


    Alester Book sensed this and sent out a divine message to everyone in the family. He did this so the family does not give up their guard. They have been guarding for the past four hours and till now nothing has happened. He was afraid that the family might have gaps in the defenses that is why he sent out the message.


    You Ziyou took a deep breath and spoke, "Activate the defense arrays, Killing formation, puppet guards, Autonomous spirit guns, and crossbows. All guards, stand by." as he issued themands. The whole You family mansion turned into an iron fortress. Every corner of the mansion had a heavy autonomous spirit gun. The roof-top corners had autonomous heavy spirit crossbows. They have bought high tech war robots to act as guards. They also invited the best array master they can find to deploy multiple fifth-grade defense arrays and Killing Arrays. There was only a minor area that was not under the range of the arrays. That area was also covered by the grannies and the other elites of the family. They also had the young spirit formation cultivators support them while guarding. If anyone was to barge in the You Family mansion now. They would surely lose ayer or two of their skin.


    ...


    You Xi Wang sat down and patiently started to merge the seeds together. The spirit energy seeds grew in size, from sesame seed to x seed then into pumpkin seed. You Xi Wang then made the seed change into a round button-sized pill. The pill started to grow in size and after an hour there were only five different colored balls inside You Xi Wang''s dantian. They all were suspended in emptiness, giving off a slight glow of the corresponding elemental color. The core started to react to each other and started humming which was generated by the equilibrium formed between them.


    ...


    On the outside, Alester Book and You Zhichi sensed the strong aura radiated from You Xi Wang, slowly the core formation phenomena urred. You Xi Wang''s body gave off a five-colored glow. It was so blindingly strong that even Alester Book had to close his eyes. The old man smiled and said, "Finally the breakthrough isplete."


    After a few minutes, the glow subsided and You Xi Wang opened his eyes. Inside his eyes, a faint multicolored spark could be seen if one focused. You Xi Wang calmed himself and the spark in his eyes also subsided. You Zhichi came to his side a wiped the sweat on his forehead. She spoke with an affectionate tone, "Congrattions on the breakthrough, Gougou."

 Chapter 173: The Test.

    Chapter 173: The Test.


    You Xi Wang smiled when he saw his sister wiping sweat from his forehead. He replied, "Thank you for guarding me." his voice was low, although his physique had enhanced the mental exhaustion in the process was still very tiring. He just wanted to sleep. Alester Book just smiled and spoke, "You take rest on the airship which will take you and your team to the venue tomorrow Xiao Wang."


    You Xi Wang turned around when he heard the voice. He bowed and greeted Alester Book, "Disciple has seen master."


    Alester Book shook his head and said, "Don''t be so rigid, Xiao Wang. How do you feel?" he asked with concern. You Xi Wang replied, "Master, I feel no physical difort. Just mentally a little tired." he spoke in an embarrassing manner.


    Alester Bookughed and said, "It is fine, fourteen days of seclusion to gather and condense the spirit energy is indeed exhausting. Let''s go out. The whole family has been guarding you. They are also waiting anxiously for you out there."


    You Xi Wang nodded and stood up from the ground. With You Zhichi beside him, the two walked up to the door and exited the room. Maya and You Naixin were already present outside. Maya came to You Xi Wang''s side and rubbed her head against his legs. You Xi Wang smiled and patted her a bit. You Naixin spoke, "Brat, congrattions and breaking through."


    You Xi Wang hugged his grand aunt and thanked her. The other elders also came over and congratted You Xi Wang one by one. You Ziyoumanded them to take back all the deployed defenses and maintain a normal security level. Thanks to the concealment array Alester Book deployed around the outside forces and people did not see the defense capabilities the family has developed. You Xi Wang asked everyone to keep the secret of his cores. He was about to conduct a meeting when Alester Book came to his side and said, "Xiao Wang dy the meeting for a little. Your sister needs to take a test. The rest can wait."


    You Xi Wang was confused and asked, "Master, what test does my big sister needs to take?"


    Alester Book replied, "Your martial aunt, my senior sister. Is looking for a good disciple. So I rmended Xiao Chi to her. She will be arriving in a few minutes." he spoke in a wry manner. Seems like the old man was very wary of his senior sister.


    You Xi Wang asked, "Master, who is my martial aunt?" he asked in bewilderment.


    Before Alester Book could even answer his disciple''s question. The void twisted and a space crack formed. You Xi Wang immediately took out his spear and Maya beside him shifted her weight and bared her fangs. He shouted, "<strong>TAKE GUARD.</strong>"


    The whole You Family acted in an instant and vigntly observed the space crack. Alester Book shook his head and said, "Xiao Wang, it''s your martial aunt. Don''t be so anxious."


    Only after this sentence did You Xi Wang put down his guard and gesture for the others to do the same. Following his actions, an ethereal voice rang out in the surroundings, "Good reaction. Junior brother has found himself a fine disciple."


    A figure wearing a white gown walked out of the space crack. Her long hair was styled in a shawl and they hung only two inches above the ground. The woman was so beautiful that words cannot describe her beauty. Her feet did not touch the ground when she walked. The people were stunned when they heard You Xi Wang speaking loudly, "<strong>CALM DOWN.</strong>"


    His shout woke up everyone. The charm the woman held was so strong that even women were stunned by her. Only after You Xi Wang spoke up did they all came back to reality. The woman in white spoke up again, "Good. Alester, your disciple is indeed a good treasure."


    Alester Book replied, "Senior sister, can you please not test everyone all the time." his tone was wary. You Xi Wang followed his lead and bowed down to thedy, "Martial Nephew greets Martial Aunt. I apologize for any offense."


    Thedy smiled and nodded. She spoke, "Stand up, Xiao Wang, I did not take any offense from your actions. What you did was the right thing. Always staying on your guard is a warrior''s instinct. You also broke out from my illusion spell first. Good." her tone was very warm as if she had known him for a long time.


    You Xi Wang smiled and thanked her for the praise and invited her inside the guest hall of the mansion. The family Elders exchanged greetings with thedy in white and led her to the guest hall after dismissing the youth of the family. Alester Book followed thedy obediently. After thedy and Alester Book sat down on a couch in the guest room.


    Alester Book said, "You Zhichi,e forth." his voice was firm and calm.


    You Zhichi came forward and bowed to both the people. Thedy nced at You Zhichi from head to toe. She spoke, "My name is Animo Albus. My junior brother wants me to ept you as my disciple. But I want to ask you. You know that I will test you?" her voice was cold and she sounded very aloof.


    If someone else were to be speaking something like this You Xi Wang would have busted a gasket in his brain, but thisdy was at least as strong as his master if not more. He also did not want to interfere too much with the martial path of his sister. Until and unless thedy does not hurt his sister, it was fine. You Zhichi smiled when she heard thedy''s question. She replied, "Yes, senior."


    Animo Albus nodded and spoke, "Okay, the exam starts now." with that said her eyes shone with fiery red color and she cast an Illusion over You Zhichi to test her. This illusion will put You Zhichi in situations and based on her actions will all be recorded by Animo Albus.


    You Zhichi stood in a white ce with two people in front of her. These two figures were her parents. This was the first round of the test. It will test You Zhichi''s control over her emotions. You Zhichi smiled when he looked at her parent''s face. Chen Limao spoke, "Chichi, how are you, my dear?"


    You Zhichi replied with a smile, "I am good, mom. We always miss you."


    You Liangxin jumped in, "Do you guys only miss her and not me?" he frowned as he spoke. You Zhichi chuckled and said, "Dad, we miss you too."


    Chen Limao spoke, "If only we coulde back."


    You Zhichi replied, "Mom, it took us a long time to ept that you are not here anymore. But it is also true that we carry you in our hearts. This is all fate. Of course, it would be better if you were here but we are not strong enough to turn back time, no?" her voice was tranquil and her spirit was also stable. She was aware that this was an illusion. But what she spoke was straight from her heart. This was the level of control she had over her emotions. The parents nodded and with a smile, they faded into golden light.


    The scene changed and she appeared inside the guest hall where Animo Albus and Alester Book sat in front of her. Animo Albus nodded and spoke, "To be my disciple, you have to pass thest test. I practice the saintess sutra. I am not allowed to have any emotional entanglement with anyone. To be my disciple you will have to do the same. You will have to follow me the moment you ept this term and live like a hermit for a century. You will not be able toe out in any condition. You are also not allowed to contact the outside world at all. This includes giving up the rtionship with your family, friends, and most importantly, your brother. Do you ept to be my disciple now?"


    You Zhichi replied as soon as Animo Albus was done asking her question, "No."


    Animo Albus spoke, "I can get you power and resources no one in the world has. Countless people are out there who would die of happiness if I epted them even as a servant. Are you sure you want to refuse me?" her voice turned colder and the whole room seemed to have frozen. Animo Albus spoke again, "It is your brother who holds you back then I will kill that pup."


    She turned her gaze to You Xi Wang and snorted. The next second, You Xi Wang''s whole body blew up into a bloody mist. Watching this seen You Zhichi was shocked at first and then she said, "If your purpose is to make me angry then congrattions, You have sessfully achieved that. Now even if you destroy the whole world I will not be your disciple. I will not ept. I advise that you kill me and My whole family right now otherwise, I swear to the heavens that even if I had to cross over to the dark side, I will find you and torment you for eternity. I will make sure that you regret even being born in this world."


    ...

 Chapter 174: Departure.

    Chapter 174: Departure.


    In the guest hall, Animo Albus was surprised when she observed the scene inside the illusion. She thought that You Zhichi would react angrily and attack her but she never thought that she asked her to kill the whole family or even if they turn to the dark side, they will not hesitate. In order to kill her, You Zhichi will go to such lengths. She raised her head and saw You Xi Wang standing there in silence.


    She asked, "Xiao Wang, are you not afraid that I will do something bad to your sister inside the array."


    You Xi Wang replied, "I am not, senior."Animo Albus was shocked to hear his words.


    She asked again, "Why are you so confident?" she was curious about why he had such confidence.


    You Xi Wang replied, "My sister is strong. She can handle these things herself. As for you doing something to her. Then I will do my best to kill you the moment I sense any ill intention from you." he looked Animo Albus right in the eyes as he spoke. His tone was tranquil and his speech was smooth. Though his eyes contained certain confidence that made Animo Albus doubt herself. She shook her head and smiled. She spoke, "You two siblings sure are spicy. Also, what will you do if your sister breaks after this test?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "I will help her stand up again. And then she will be even stronger. There is no creation without destruction."


    Animo Albus heard his answer and her eyes flicked with a red light. The illusion cast upon You Zhichi was undone. There were three rounds. The first round tested a person''s control. The second round tested their resolve and the third round was for a virtual battle. You Zhichi spent a whole life inside the array and she raised her strength to such a terrifying level that she could defeat Animo Albus inside the array. Yes, she defeated thedy in white with her own skills and power. It may seem like the skills in virtual space are not real, but You Zhichi learned a lot of tricks that were shown to her by Animo Albus.


    After the illusion was undone, You Zhichi woke up and saw around. She saw her ''dead brother is alright and was watching her. She did not look at anyone else and walked up to him. She touched his face with her jade hands. You Xi Wang smiled and before he could say anything. You Zhichi embraced him. She held him tight in her arms and said in a shivering voice, "I thought you were dead."


    You Xi Wang patted her back and said, "It''s okay. That was all a test. Let''s ask for the result first. The seniors are waiting." his soft voice calmed her down, and she turned to face the two seniors. She bowed her head down, not daring to look at the faces of the two seniors. She was embarrassed at this moment. During the test, she was vulgar and cold to Animo Albus.


    Animo Albus saw this situation, and then sheughed. She spoke, "Disciple. Will you not offer tea to your master?" her voice carried a hint of joy. Her statement was barely anything surprising to You Xi Wang and Alester Book. But You Zhichi was shocked by this. She spoke, "But I was so rude to you in the illusion. Why do you choose me?"


    Animo Albus nodded and spoke, "You were indeed rude and cold to me inside the illusion, but it was inside the ILLUSION also. You did nothing wrong. The method you cultivate is called The Maiden Heart Sutra. This method of cultivation can only be practiced by those who are selfless. Your actions were in line with how a mother and sister would take care of her son or brother. So, I will not take any offense to that."


    You Zhichi still did not believe the words she just heard now. She only woke up from a daze when You Xi Wang spoke, "Go give your master a cup of tea."


    You Zhichi nodded and came to kneel in front of Animo Animus. She turned towards the table and served her a cup of tea. She spoke in a calm voice, "Master, Disciple greets you."


    Animo Animus took the cup and sipped some tea from it silently. She nodded and said, "Xiao Chi, you are now my disciple. You can live your life normally, but you will have toe to me so that I can guide you in cultivation. For that, I give you this space travel jade." with these words she waved her sleeves and a jade token appeared in her hands. She spoke before handing it to You Zhichi, "It will only travel you from here to my home. Also, be careful to use. Okay?"


    You Zhichi nodded and stretched out both her hands to ept the jade token. Alester Book smiled and spoke, "Senior sister, congrattions for such a good disciple." hearing his sweet words, Animo Albus nodded with a smile. She looked at You Xi Wang and said, "Boy, your five elemental aurae is still leaking a little. Here, keep this jade pendant around your neck to hide it." she flicked a finger on her hands and a pendant flew out from her sleeves to You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang caught the pendant in his hands and saw a drop-shaped pendant with some engravings marked on it. He had dabbled with the arrays to some extent. He knew what this engraving meant. This pendant was a mini aura concealment array. You Xi Wang tied the pendant with a string his sister gave him and put it around his neck. He bowed to Animo Albus to express his gratitude. Thedy smiled and said, "Xiao Chi, you guys will now leave for the survival round in the battle fest. Remember to be careful when you seek fortune. Okay?"


    You Zhichi nodded and spoke, "Yes master, the disciple understands." in a calm tone.


    Animo Albus stood up from the couch and said, "I will take my leave. Alester, you areing with me. Master has called you."


    Alester Book stood up and was about to cast a space crake. He suddenly smacked his forehead and took out a spear case from his space ring. He tossed the spear case to You Xi Wang and said, "Use this in the Battle fest. It is crafted by Shelton Hammer himself." he did not stay any longer and created a space crack in front of him.


    You Zhichi and You Xi Wang bowed to the two as they departed. After the two seniors left, the siblings exchanged the nce and smiled at each other. You Zhichi spoke, "Call me senior sister."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "You call me senior brother, I had my master earlier than you."


    You Zhichi spoke, "My master is the elder sister to your master. So I am your elder." she raised her chin a little.


    You Xi Wang snorted and said, "Humph, we need to go to the school. I''ll drive." he stored his spear in the space ring and ran out of the room to make the arrangements. You Zhichi giggled as she saw him flee. She shook her head and then left the room. You Xi Wang arranged for the family to be overlooked by You Naixin. The elders were to lie low and use the intelligencework to gather information about the ''vultures''.


    He remotelymanded LUCY to monitor thepanies and if any illegal things are found then they were to be reported to the Council anonymously. He also called Ste and let her deal with the sales and cooperation with the banks. You Zhichi arranged for Gerrard to buy some shops in Silica City and have them renovated. This was a step taken to release the game when the siblings are taking part in the battle fest. The young boy then called Petra and told her to install the voice assist in the Countach and contact the celebrities when the sales of the vehicle reach 1000. He also contacted Minerva and Matthews and told them to prepare the Virtual Reality Helmet as soon as possible.


    They were then to test and rectify the bugs. After the game testing is done, they are to release the game through the stores thepany has bought throughout the city. They then contacted their friends and asked them to gather at the school. After the two were done nning they coaxed the little devils Celestia and Lily, who were stuck over You Xi Wang like kos, saying that they also want toe with him. Only after repeated affections did, they allow him to go. You Xi Wang then visited the cemetery to visit his parents before going to the school with his sister.


    After cleaning the graves and paying respects, the two people drove to the school in the vehicle. They were greeted by a nervous group of students in front of the school gate. The principal and the other instructors were also present there. Their team had one change only. Instead of Adonis, Madison Midnight was going to apany them. Adonis was called by the council to report for an urgent task. All the students were apanied by their parents while You Xi Wang and You Zhichi stood holding each other''s hands. They missed their parents at this moment, but they could do nothing about it.


    To their surprise, Chen Qianbei came over from Frost City to see them off. You Family also wanted toe over to see them off, but looking at the numbers You Xi Wang made them give up the idea. Chen Qianbei stood behind the two with a smile on her face as the siblings quibbled about martial seniority.


    The principal then spoke, "It is time."

 Chapter 175: The Gathering.

    Chapter 175: The Gathering.


    As soon as the principal spoke, the whole atmosphere turned solemn. You Xi Wang would be lying if he said that he was not nervous or scared but when he saw that he was not alone then he calmed down a bit. He took a step forward and You Zhichi followed him. The two walked up to the principal and saw that the other teammates were all still standing in their spots. You Xi Wang turned and spoke, "Are you going to give up before you even try? If so then get lost. Our team does not need weaklings." he did not try to hide the disgust in his voice.


    The parents who came to send off their kids did not show any dissatisfaction with the way You Xi Wang spoke but on the inside, they still felt a bit uneasy.


    Hercules smiled helplessly and said, "Captian, do you really have to be so ruthless?"


    You Xi Wang spoke in a sonorous voice, "To cultivate is to go against the heavens. The heavens will never be hesitant to deal with you but right now your hesitation showcased your resolve. If you are hesitant to take on this assessment then are you worthy of praise? Your resolve is weak. Humph, my Maya is better than you all." with that said he did not speak anymore and turned around to walk to the pier of the school campus to wait for the airship toe over.


    You Zhichi and Maya followed, Yuki, An, Fenny, and Neo followed him with their spirit beasts. Watching this Rafael Sterling, Ihi, Lena and Snow also followed them. The rest of the guys did not hesitate anymore and walked forward. Madison Midnight was already standing on the pier. You Xi Wang greeted her and talked about the beast formation she had told him about earlier. He had no intention to cheer up the team. The reason was simple, you cannot depend on others to uphold you. You need to learn how to control your emotions.


    After a few minutes, an airship docked to the pier. This airship was a standard model owned by mostly all the council affiliated organizations. The ship docked and the principal of the school, William Trevor, came over and he was about to give an encouraging speech when You Xi Wang spoke, "Sir, save the words. They need to cheer themselves up." his nd voice was simr to a knife in his heart. William Trevor could only shake his head. He still said, "Do your best everyone. Pay attention to your safety."


    You Xi Wang held Madison Midnight gently and took her to board the airship. After everyone got onboard You Xi Wang came back to the trap door and spoke to his aunt, "Beauty Bei, take care of yourself and don''t be a wrinkly old hag like Granny Xin."


    Chen Qianbei just thought that this brat did not greet her farewell when he took off but hearing his words she wished he left quietly. A blue vein popped on her forehead. She replied, "Brat if you did not score well. Then I will break your buttocks to pieces."


    All she heard was a burst of heartyughter. It was You Xi Wang whoughed of course. Chen QIanbei shook her head and drove off his Countach back to You Mansion. You Xi Wang passed the keys to her the moment she came here.


    The airship took off with the team leaving only an empty pier and the retreating backs of the anxious families. The team was to report at the Imperial Sector. They would all gather in one ce. Under the watchful gazes of the council officials. The council headquarters was located in the imperial sector as well. This venue was selected to keep the event safe from the attacks of the dark dwellers. No matter how brazen they are, they would never attack the Imperial Sector.


    The team flew in the airship for a period of 24 hours. Onboard, the team finally cheered up. They all held a meeting to talk about different strategies they could use in the assessment. Madison Midnight also joined the meeting and told them about the rules. They were only allowed to carry on some basic medical supplies, arms, and ammunition. Only the technical advisor was allowed to carry some ready to eat supplies but that was also limited so that the others do not exploit this provision. The spirit beasts are not counted as separate members as long as they share the bond of equals.


    You Xi Wang pondered a bit and then said, "Download the medical books from the codex hall. prioritize the books with first aid skills where you don''t need to use medicines. Store a big amount of Sugar and Salt in your space rings. Glycerinite as well. Hercules, you are responsible for buying the supplies as soon as wend in the Imperial Sector. I will go with Teacher Madison to buy some text slips on survival. Get it done we only have a limited time before the gathering assembly."


    The team sprang up in action. You Xi Wang went off to meditate andprehend the arrays. He has reached the peak of level one arrays and was now trying to break the barrier of level two. He sat down in his cabin and entered the state ofprehension while the team was collecting data. His Codex ount was unavable because Lily and Celestia were using it for him. The system in the meanwhilemunicated with LUCY and checked her growth process. It was estimated that by the time the team came out of the dimensional space. LUCY would be able tomunicate with them just like a normal human would.


    ...


    The airshipnded and docked to a pier it was assigned to. Inside the ship, You Xi Wang addressed the team, "You guys, whatever you see out there act calm. Even if you are amazed by the city do not show it on your face and act calm. Lest some native call you a country bumpkin. If that happened, you will not be able to tolerate it and will definitely cause a ruckus that will affect our image. The survival test will not start in the dimensional pocket. It starts the moment you step out of this ship. Do you get it?" his tone was firm with a calm voice.


    Everyone nodded and got off the ship. You Xi Wang told Maya to hide inside their shadows. Night Hounds and Snow Hounds have a special ability to hide in the shadows of theirpanions. The beasts followed the order and hid inside the shadows as told. This was done to keep the cards hidden. You Xi Wang led the team off the ship and was attended by an official tasked to lead them to the Imperial square. You Xi Wang asked the official if they can have the location of the square and go there by themselves. The official asked why did he want to dy. You Xi Wang told him honestly that they would like to make somest-minute preparations.


    The official expressed his understanding and allowed them to leave. Hercules and Neo left to get the bandages and sugar packets while You Xi Wang and Madison Midnight left to shop for some text slips. The rest were taken to the square by the Official. In absence of You Xi Wang and Madison Midnight, You Zhichi and Fenny took themand. You Zhichi, Yuki, and Snow wore a mask as soon as they got down from the ship. The mask covered almost all of their faces leaving only eyes to be visible. The mask gave off a weird feeling. They did this so that silk pant boys don''t bother them.


    This also had another use, to prevent You Xi Wang, ''Mr. Possesive'' from raising a storm. The team followed the official while keeping in touch with You Xi Wang and Hercules. They were transmitting their live location to the two teams. You Xi Wang walked with Madison while holding her hand. Madison was prone to falling and colliding with the people on the bustling streets of the Imperial Sector. This ce was a hub for every trade union and you can find anything and everything here. Madison Midnight was once a special task force operative and was familiar with this ce. She led You Xi Wang to a derelict shop.The two entered the shop, and an older man greeted them. He recognized Madison and spoke, "Maddie, long time no see, child."


    Madison smiled and greeted back, "How have you been, Uncle Logan."


    Logan smiled and replied, "Been fine. What wind blew you here?" he turned to look at You Xi Wang and said, "Boy, this little girl is family, be good to her and you can have a discount here." he mistook You Xi Wang to be Madison''s boyfriend.


    Madison did not understand what Logan meant and took it as a gesture of kindness. You Xi Wang was the same as his mind was not focused on gossip now. You Xi Wang spoke, "Sir, can I get some text slips recording Medical tips and tricks?"


    Logan smiled and pointed to a shelf. You Xi Wang spotted a chair and helped Madison to sit down. he spoke, "Teacher, You can catch up with your friend, I will gather the text slips."


    With that said he walked up to the shelf and started scanning through the text slips. Text slip was a piece of jade that recorded the text inside an array. This array could be triggered by channeling the spirit energy through it and the people could read. These slips were an ancient method and so they were rarely found. As Madison and Logan talked about what was going on with them in life. You Xi Wang has scanned through almost all of the text slips on the shelf. He turned and spoke to Madison, "I am done, teacher. We should leave, the team is at the square and the assembly is about to start. Hercules and Neo are on the way too."


    Madison nodded and stood up. You Xi Wang walked over and took out 20 slips and paid the bill. Then he held Medison''s hand and walked to the square.


    Madison spoke, "Xi Wang, there will be a speech by every team captain. It will take time and our team is ced at thest spot." her voice was serene and soft.


    You Xi Wang frowned and said, "Why such special treatment?"


    Madison spoke, "Firste first serve and our team reached herest."


    You Xi Wang snorted, "What is this basis?"


    Madison replied with a chuckle, "We could have been here early but someone was in seclusion."


    You Xi Wang immediately deted right then and there. He shook his head and led Madison to the square.

 Chapter 176: Superior Among All.

    Chapter 176: Superior Among All.


    You Xi Wang led Madison to the square through the crowd. The gathering was held in the square, or on a levitating piece of metal that hovered above the square. You Xi Wang looked up at the sky and saw levitating metallic behemoth in the sky. If not for his image, he would have yelled ''Helicarrier'' right away. Madison told him to g to the center of the square where an elevator was connected to the levitating tform.


    You Xi Wang spoke as he walked with Madison, "Teacher, what is this tform?" his voice was calm but his words made his curiosity known to his teacher. Madison smiled faintly and said, "This tform does not have any name. It is used by the Council to hold mass meetings and events. The people however call it the Sky Event Square."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and they finally came to the elevator. He looked around and did not find his team. He called and found that they were already taken up earlier. The two people came to the entrance, and an Inspector stopped them. You Xi Wang looked at him and asked, "Sir, we are team members of Silica City Academy. We need to go up to report for the gathering."


    The inspector was a middle-aged man, slightly chubby. He wore a Scarlet Red and white uniform. The uniform was just like a battle suit, but rather than the jumpsuit style of the battle suit this uniform was divided into two parts, a shirt, and a trouser. The man said, "Don''t worry, I just need toplete a routine security check with you. This is the standard procedure."


    You Xi Wang nodded and let the instructor scan his body and Madison with a body scanner. The scanner was an interesting piece of work that had a lot of detection arrays carved over it. Every time the council dered something as a prohibited article, a new set of arrays will be carved on the scanner. The scanner arrays emitted a ray of light and fell over You Xi Wang''s body. A small part of the light ray lingered over his space ring and scanned the inside without revealing the contents to the public. This was done under the consideration of a cultivator''s privacy. If the scanner found anything that it cannot deduct, then the inspector wille into the y. If you are found carrying any prohibited articles, then the security system will activate and make you regret your existence by deploying spirit blocking shackles. You can imagine the rest of the process.


    The light rays turned off and did not raise any rms the inspector then let the two people pass the entrance and board the elevator. The duo then took a seat in the elevator. Yes, it was equipped with high-ss chairs for thefort of the passengers. The distance between the ground and the Sky Event Square was 2 kilometers. It was almost at the edge of the space. The passengers did not need to stand for such a long journey. They could sit down. Just as the two people sat down space fluctuated and three people emerged from the space crack.


    You Xi Wang was pleasantly surprised when he saw these three people. They were Shelton Hammer, Animo Albus, and Alester Book. The boy was about to stand up and greet his master and senior martial aunt when his master told him to act ignorant through mentalmunication. There were many people inside the elevator, and they did not want to expose his identity as a disciple too soon. Shelton Hammer spotted You Xi Wang and came up to him.


    Heughed and said, "Young Friend, we meet again." At this moment, the elevator has risen in the air. The people in the elevator have seen these three peopleing through a space crack, and they understood that the identity of these three was not simple. What came to them as a surprise was a Nirvana Rebirth elder who talked with this handsome boy. You Xi Wang became an even bigger anomaly to them.


    You Xi Wang stood up and scratched the back of his head. He bowed to Shelton Hammer and said, "I did not expect Senior Hammer to recognize me." his tone was polite. The old manughed and patted his shoulder and spoke, "Nonsense, how can I not recognize you. Boy, I like the vehicle you came up with even better than using the space crack. Today, I was about toe here in the vehicle itself, but a certain old man dragged me here unceremoniously."


    Shelton Hammer gave a stink eye to his friend, Alester Book on the side. You Xi Wang walked over and bowed to the two people in greeting. He then introduced everyone to Madison. Alester Book was quickly indulged in the conversation with a ''fellow teacher''. The rest of the people took notice of the introduction and were scared to death when they heard the identity of Alester Book and Shelton Hammer. Animo''s identity was kept a secret, but her presence and superior act among these two people made them even more scared.


    Ten Minutester the elevator had reached the top. The crowd which acted calmly on the surface left quickly, leaving behind only five people. You Xi Wang held Madison''s hand as the two followed the ''trinity''. Animo Albus spoke in You Xi Wang''s mind, "Brat, holding a teacher''s hand? How many people would kill for that?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a chuckle, "Master Aunt, my teacher can only perform well when she is battling others, the rest of the time she is so clumsy that even toddlers look veterans in front of her."


    Animo Albus raised an eyebrow and gave Madison Midnight a thorough checkout. A strange light flickered in her eyes. No one knew what it meant. The olderdy nodded and said, "We are going now. Go join the fray. Don''t sully our names as your masters, perform well."


    "Yes." You Xi Wang replied without hesitation. The group separated, You Xi Wang headed towards his teammates while the three people headed to the spots where the officials were seated. You Xi Wang seemed to have missed the speech given by the deputy council head. He was right now introducing the captain of the Imperial Team toe up the stage for the opening speech of the event. The speeches by the students could promote and encourage the new ideas of the youth.


    As You Xi Wang reached his team and joined the queue. He took out a stool from his space ring and let Madison sit down on it. His action made the surrounding teachers envious of having such a caring student. they all covered it up with an excuse that they were here to fight and explore the deadly wild. You Xi Wang nced at his team and said, "Suit up. We will be deployed as soon as the closing speech is finished."


    The rest nodded with discipline and took out a ck battle suit. The battle suits were all ck, but You Xi Wang asked Fenny to make some changes in them ording to everyone''s requirements. The gunners had various holsters attached to the waist and a rifle to be ced on the shoulder while grenades hung on the ribs. For the long-range attackers, a maic lock system on the back for the sniper rifles. An''s suit had a backpack on his back with a green cross over it, signifying his medic identity. The sword wielders had their swords stuck to the waist with a maic interface. The spear wielders were rtively simple, they had a ma lock on the back to carry the spears and the halberds. The brawlers had daggers and w des on their waist.


    These people were proficient in various weapons. Fenny only changed their suits for their primary weapons. The rest had to be handled by themselves. You Xi Wang designed his suit himself. The suit material stuck to his body but instead of a maic lock he had a level one space array ced on the ces he wanted to hide his weapons. He carved 15 space array on his ankles, thighs, hips, waist, shoulders. If he carried so many weapons altogether, then it will hamper his movement.


    His ck battle suit had a silver wolf head logo on his shoulder. The same logo was engraved on the shoulders of everyone. They all epted the logo when they saw how majestic it looked when Fenny drew out a sample. Also, wolves were survivors. On the backs of the suits, silver marks were engraved. Starting from Alpha to Pi. Sixteen members, sixteen symbols. The team all stood in a neat queue in an attention pose. Their eyes were calm and even their breathing was synced. The team name was registered as Phantoms.


    The battle suit was put on with no shy moments and the surrounding people were also wearing the battle suits so they thought little about it, but how were they to know that their design almost made the people feel inferior? Some girls in the other teams had stars in their eyes when they saw You Xi Wang looking all handsome in the battle suit.


    The captain of the Imperial Academy took the stage and spoke, "Wee all the friends and participants. Today is the state of the first battle fest. We are going to enter the wilnds and try to survive there. I am also very nervous, but I know this one fact. We are humans and we are the supreme among the creatures of this world. So, I wish everyone to remember this and strive for not only survival but also for passing this test with pride. I wish you all good luck." what followed along with this short was thunderous apuse. Who did not like to hear that they are supreme? The listeners were all humans, after all.


    The time was short and many people had to speak, and thus they were allowed only thirty seconds to address the crowd. The speeches were telecasted all over the live. The proceedings continued, and the people kept addressing the crowd. You Xi Wang, however, was immersed in cultivation. He started cultivating as he stood. So did the whole team. When Madison noticed this, she shook her head helplessly.


    Unknowingly almost two hours passed, and the speeches continued. You Xi Wang woke up when Madison tugged his wrist. This sudden moment of her caused You Xi Wang to almost take out a dagger from his sleeve array and sh at her. Madison noticed this and stuck out her tongue. She spoke it your turn soon. You Xi Wang nodded and spoke in her mind.


    "Teacher, you are adorable sometimes, you know?"

 Chapter 177: Balance.

    Chapter 177: Bnce.


    Soon the secondst speech ended with sparse apuse. The introducer came forward and spoke in a sonorous voice, "Now, I call upon the stage a character who is a definition of a genius. At 14, hepletely learned all the knowledge regarding Material Science in the Codex Hall gaining the moniker, ''The Maestro''. At sixteen, when he should be in the second grade of the academy, he skipped a grade and cleared the test for the third grade. In the written exam section, he wrote an essayposition ''The world in a nutshell''. This essay highlighted how our development came to a stagnation and many aspects that the people forgot. Thisposition gained him another moniker from the department of education, ''the pioneer''. His achievements do not stop at just academia, but he also started a change in the business world by the policies he introduced in hispany. I do not know if any of you have heard, but he is the mind behind the rapidly growing social media tform The Metro Frame, and also the designer of the two most sought-after vehicles, The Countach, and the Beetle. As for his martial achievements, he has sessfully led his family to repel a dark dweller raid with no casualties on the friendly side. Please wee the captain of the Silica City team. You Xi Wang."


    The people were struck in awe when they heard the introduction. It was to be known that all the people who spoke on the stage had their achievements listed, but none of them were as exaggerated as You Xi Wang. This guy survived a dweller raid. The other people never even face a single dark dweller. But if they were to know that this monster killed a primal soul opponent with his team, would they smash their heads on stones? It was unknown who pped but soon the sparse apuse grew in a somewhat cheering apuse if not maddening.


    Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, You Xi Wang walked up onto the stage wearing his battle suit. He maintained a poker face as he came up. He nced at the audience and took out a dagger from his sleeve space array. The people were confused about what he was about to do? You Xi Wang spoke, "My mom used to say that the entire world is working on a principle of bnce. The number of stars in the sky is equal to the amount of emptiness she said. She said humans and Nature can only prosper when they work in bnce. if humans overwhelmed nature, then the world will be deste and vice versa. We have the power to maintain and tip the bnce. Those dimensional pockets are unknown worlds. If you go out to seek bnce, then the chances to survive will be better. The rest is up to you. May the best one win." with that said he flicked the dagger and it spun on the top of his thumb joint. He nodded to himself and walked down the stage.


    Throughout the speech, he kept a calm and slow pace. His tone was unshaken. The people apuded just like before it grew stronger as it followed the girls in the crowd were more enthusiastic than the boys. You Xi Wang was the youngest and by far the most handsome male in thepetition. The crowd who watched the speech via live telecast was speaking with enthusiasm.


    In Imperial City, around a certain public screening, the middle-aged aunts were discussing:


    Aunt one, "Such a good boy, academic, business, martial arts. All-round genius and look at my son. He is getting fatter and fatter like a plum every day from sitting at home."


    Aunt Two, "Yes, he talked so calmly. His temperament is so good. Unlike our little ruffians."


    ...


    In the You Mansion, everyone in the family was gathered in the garden. The fifth elder arranged for a big disy screen for everyone to watch the telecast. Xia Xue spoke first, "Xiao Wang''s achievements are still hidden. If they stated how he invented that motherboard. These people would have felt ashamed of themselves. Humph, some so-called geniuses."


    Celestia and Lily were sitting near You Naixin. Lily spoke, "Why did Xixi spin that dagger?"


    Celestia replied, "That is just his act to show a false strong image in front of people."


    Lily nodded in understanding and said, "I don''t like that dumb boy in a golden suit."


    Celestia nodded this time and said, "So shy. Also, what is supremacy? My big brother can beat him ten times with one hand. Humph poser." these two were die-hard You Xi Wang fans. They don''t see anyone in front of You Xi Wang. You Naixin, however, was listening to these two little fairies with an amused smirk on her face. She adored these two girls a lot. The same discussion was going on among the whole family.


    ...


    On the audience tform designated for the council highmand, Alester Book was smiling like a goof. He was proud of such a disciple. Animo Albus also nodded and smiled when she heard the speech. She praised her junior brother with a mental note. An old man among the higher-ups asked Shelton Hammer, "Is he the kid whose vehicle design made you so energetic these days?"


    Shelton Hammer nodded and said, "You guys should try taking ap in that vehicle with him. He can bring out 100% of that vehicle. Also, genius is that the simple function optimization produced such an outstanding product. It is hard to make from scratch, but it is even harder to improve what has already being made."


    The others nodded, and the discussion continued.


    ...


    You Xi Wang walked down the stage and stood in front of his team, unaware and unaffected by all this. The team from Croma City had some of his ''loyal friends'' such as Ronald Colt, Jared Crow, and others. At this moment they were talking about how generous You Xi Wang was to save them from the hands of Edward Colt.


    Yes, after that confrontation in the hospital, Ronald Colt left his family and was now living with his friends. He was totally a ''new leaf'' and so were the other three. The girl Lara witnessed nothing and now had a stable rtionship with Ronald Colt. Edward Colt was introduced to the dark side by his wife, and when the other parents pressurized him, he snitched on her. Though the woman was still smart and fled to hide among her peers. You Xi Wang had some inkling of this through the news gathered by the shadows.


    The team from the Imperial Sector was enjoying all the attention in the beginning because of the speech delivered by their captain, but now the tables have turned and You Xi Wang ''robbed'' their limelight. The captain spoke, "Hm good, this guy will be a good stepping stone."


    The teacher in charge of the team spoke in a dissatisfied manner, "This boy is not as simple as you think he is. He is here with his own effort, which means his strength is not a trivial affair. You better not get cocky. Unlike the spoonfed opponents you have faced, this guy is a snatcher. He will break you in both body and spirit. Compete fairly and defeat him if you can only then should you act cocky."


    The team members were quite unsatisfied with this statement, but one person in the team did not follow their reaction. This member was a girl with green eyes and green hair. She was observing You Xi Wang ever since he stepped on to the stage. This girl was the technological advisor of this team. She felt what the teacher said was true when she saw the space arrays on You Xi Wang''s suit. She was also blessed with certain eye power, Pupils Of truth. She could see everything about anyone standing in front of her. She also saw You Xi Wang''s five elemental core when her eyes fell on him.


    She was told by her family to keep this power a secret because it will make people jealous and some might harm her. The only offset of this power was that she could never speak. Yes, the girl was born a mute. Her ailment could not be fixed even after such advanced technology. The doctors exined every incurable ailment as a heaven''s will. So the girl could only wait till she reaches the Primal Soul realm tomunicate mentally. Her father was a technological engineer. This girl was called Gena Langford.


    The underrated genius of the Imperial Sector. Fifth level Core Formation at 18, grade two technology developer. She wanted to know more about You Xi Wang and was very curious about him now. She blinked and changed her focus towards the random deployment tunnel, as for You Xi Wang. She will meet him in the solo tournament. Right now her focus was the survival round.


    The introducer spoke as he pointed towards the deployment tunnel, "The teams would nowe up one by one in the order they have given the speech. There are a hundred thousand dimensional pockets located all around the. This tunnel acts as a teleportation port to connect you directly to that position. Even if you are thest team, you will still have time to choose among the vast number of dimensional pockets. The team captain wille and press the switch on the side of the tunnel, and the array formation will send you to a dimensional pocket on random. Once a dimensional pocket has been chosen, it will not be used again. Let''s go." he exined the way this tunnel worked and how the selection waspletely random. It will depend on your luck to get a good or a bad chance. This process was bnced and allowed an equal opportunity to all the participant teams.

 Chapter 178: Saxa Deserti.

    Chapter 178: Saxa Deserti.


    The Imperial Sector team was the first to go through the tunnel. The process was not very hectic. It was quick and smooth. The teams all operated the random selector and then stepped into the teleporter.


    The dimensional pockets were not only diverse in the time flow but also the environment inside waspletely different. It was said that some of the dimensional pockets were used to be inhabited by the natives who perished over time leaving behind their inheritances. These inheritances could be anything varying from Weapons, pills, techniques to technology, moral teachings. they were just lying there, waiting for someone to find them and im them as his/her own. But don''t make any mistakes these dimensional pockets are all unexplored areas. They are dangerous if you take them all as a joke. Some time ago a team of explorers headed by a Primal Soul expert entered a dimensional pocket. The team consisted of ten people.


    After a month only one person came back. The survivor reported how the team discovered a ruin. They explored the ruin but when they were returning from collecting the treasures they fell into a killing array. The grade of the array was unknown to them and after struggling for five days their team leader died. Th rest of the team followed. The survivor was only able to keep his life. He suffered from dementia and became a cripple forever. This was why the team members in this assessment were all repeatedly advised to be calm and careful. Also, they were asked to sign a no liability form, and a consent form was signed by the guardians of those who were not yet legally adults.


    The teams continued to pass through the tunnel for 2 hours before it was You Xi Wang''s turn. When his name was called toe to the stage You Xi Wang spoke to his master via text message, "Master, my teacher has a special condition. Can you send her back to Silica City?"


    Alester Book replied, "Don''t worry, I will personally watch over it."


    You Xi Wang turned to Madison Midnight and spoke in a soft voice, "Teacher, someone wille to take you back to Silica City. Please stay here, okay?"


    Madison understood that You Xi Wang made arrangements for her. She felt warm in her heart and replied, "I will follow your arrangements. Also, take care inside, be extra cautious. We all will be waiting for you all toe back safely, okay?"


    You Xi Wang and the others spoke in unison, "<strong>Yes, Teacher.</strong>" then they all walked over to the teleporter tunnel. Under the guidance of the introducer, You Xi Wang pressed the switch of the random selection panel.


    The panel was flickering with images of the dimensional pockets constantly. Just as the switch was pressed the picture froze and a rough desert came to their sight. You Xi Wang nced at the brief description of the dimension they were going to enter. He did not get the opportunity to talk about this with his friends and the team was dragged inside the teleportation tunnel by a strong suction force.


    They all were holding hands when the suction force engulfed them. This was a precaution to prevent them from being teleported to different ces. The Council had provided them with a protection jade which was carved with a mini teleportation array. This array would be triggered when the jade is cracked. The moment you are teleported to the council safe house, that is the moment you will be eliminated from thepetition. These jades also worked as a life sign monitor. Another mini array was engraved on the jade piece. This array worked as an observation system. It would transmit some sort of signal across the dimensions, disying their life status.


    ...


    In a destend, where there is no sign of shade as far as the eye could see, the void fluctuated. Soon a group of people emerged at the epicenter. This group was none other than You Xi Wang and his team. The people looked around in a daze. They were all still confused because of teleportation just now. It was the first time they have been through such a situation. Gradually, rity returned to their eyes.


    Fenny looked around and kicked You Xi Wang in the shin and said, "Brat Wang, howe you are such a jinx? See, where you dragged us."


    You Xi Wang rubbed his shin with an aggrieved reaction and said, "It''s not my fault okay. Rather than fighting let''s get to work. Settle down and I will give you guys an intro of this ce."


    The team quickly formed a huddle. You Xi Wang spoke, "This ce is called, SAXA DESERTI. Meaning, the Stone Desert. The ground we stand on here is made of hard rock. As for what kind of rock Neo will analyst itter. The ce is named as such because as you can see. As far as the eye can see it is a barren rocknd. Though the explorer who was responsible to scout this ce reported this ce to be mountainous terrain."


    Hercules made a weird face and spoke, "Why doesn''t it show any mountain on the Hyperwave receiver?"


    Hyperwave receiver, a tab style gadget fitted with micro receivers to interpret the sound waves emitted by the worldly structures. This gadget would have worked fine on Metropia or any other as the rotation of the makes everything such as mountains, oceans,kes, deserts, and ins emit a different kind of natural structures to emit soundwaves due to the rotation. But inside the dimensions, the ins are constantly in a state of rest.


    Fenny smacked Hercules on the head and spoke, "Muscle Mountain, this is a dimension, the world is in a state of rest. How to emit hyper waves?" she was the don of the team. Only some people were spared of her ridicule. Though it was good as her bubbly temperament kept the atmosphere from getting nd.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Well this ce is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one first?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "Bad one."


    You Xi Wang replied, "The spirit energy here is lower as you guys would have already felt by now. And we might not be able to find a source of food and water for a few days." he nced at everyone as they sighed and their shoulders dropped.


    Yuki asked, "The good news?"


    He again spoke, "This ce has a spiritke under the surface."


    Lena asked with a weird face, "Captian, did you not say that the spirit energy here is lower in concentration."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "This ce is a contradiction, the spirit energy is condensed into liquid form. The rock in this ce is the cause of this anomaly. This thing extracts the spirit energy in the air and condenses it into a liquid form which is channeled under the surface. This is why this ce is so deste. If you try to cast any spirit to construct in this ce. It will fall within a day no matter how big it is. "


    Neo squatted down and used his physical strength to dig out a handful of rock from the surface. He tried to sense the earth element inside the rock. the more he sensed the more surprised and weird his face became. Fenny asked, "Bro, are you okay?"


    Neo spoke in a trembling voice, "This thing is not natural. Theposition of the rock is not what can be called natural."


    His words made the others change faces and An spoke, "Calm down and then exin." his patience helped Neo calm down. He stood up and spoke, "Usually every kind of rock, stone, mud, and sand will contain some sort of imperfection. Like rocks are brittle, mud is soft, sand is too loose. Yet this ground is perfect. I can mold it, carve it and blow it with a breath. How can something like this be natural?"


    Finally, everyone realized the problem. They did not figure out the origins of this rock ground but they all understood that this ce sure wasn''t easy to survive in. Neo dropped the rock in his hand and the ground acted like water. The dug-out piece connected back again and if not for knowing where it has been dug out from, one would never know about this.


    You Xi Wang squinted his eyes at the phenomena in front of him and said, "Looks like we cannot dig an underground cave to live." as he shook his head.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Now, either we select a direction and move forward to explore, or we set up camp here?"


    Everyone was silent, they have never expected this survival test would be so weird. You Xi Wang took out two iron rods of the same length. He bends them and held them in his hands. He started to walk around and suddenly felt the rod in his hand tremble. He shifted his stance and the rods started trembling more and more. He spoke to the team as they watched his weird act, "Let''s move in this direction. Maybe we could find something.


    Ihi asked him, "Captain, what were you doing with those roads?"


    Fenny asked with confusion, "Detecting maic field?"


    You Xi Wang replied as he shook his head, "Half true, I was detecting but it was not maic field."


    Fenny opened her eyes wide and spoke, "This world is at rest, so no motion means no maic fields. What did you detect?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Spirit energy field. I circted the spirit energy in a loop just like a maic field. You know that Spirit energy resonates with itself right? So the loop through the iron rods sensed the varying density of the field."


    Everyone spoke in unison, "<strong>NERD</strong>."


    You Xi Wang pursued his lips and inside his heart, he thought, ''It was just a wild guess. How would I know if this method works?''


    The system spoke, [Good, guess.]


    You Xi Wang thanked the system and the group carried on with their journey to the eastern hemisphere. They walked in a queue and followed You Xi Wang, who guided them with the two iron rods.

 Chapter 179: Flying Sword.

    Chapter 179: Flying Sword.


    You Xi Wang and the group walked towards the spirit energy fluctuations in the east. To ensure safety, he let out the wolves. He instructed Maya, "If you find anything weird, you will not engage in the situation. Monitor and report back, okay? Use little spirit energy and stay within 100 meters."


    Maya nodded and then ran away with her siblings in a formation. The wolves handled recon and scout. They could not attack or explore on their own. This restriction was ced not because of their strength but to lower the risk factor. The team of humans also walked in a formation with the snipers in the center as the spears and swords formed an outer circle around them. The gunners were at the four corners. This formation was called the moving castle. It was specially crafted by Madison Midnight with the skill set of the team in her mind.


    The formation was unique. Four gunners guarding the corners of each direction. You Xi Wang was also a gunner, and he was leading them to the east guarding the respective corner. The other three guarded the rest of the three directions. The formation was distributed in threeyers. The middle was forming a triangle with one spearman and swordswoman side by side. The snipers were ced in the center. Hercules and Neo were also in the center. This was done to allow them to rush in case of an ident. They would rush out from the formation to respond in any direction.


    The team was wearing sunsses to avoid the natural blinding effect. This was a normal precaution one would take in deserts or icends to avoid losing direction and other things. The team has been walking for four hours and thendscape was still not changing. They were not circting their spirit energy but relied on their physique. The time passed quickly as they all kept talking while they walked.


    You Xi Wang had a stopwatch counter running in his Holo-phone. He checked and said, "This is not very good for us."


    It was not only him with the stopwatch. The others had done the same thing. The team stopped and called back the wolves as well. As they rested, they discussed how to increase their travel efficiency.


    Hercules said, "If only we had a lev bike or something." sighed the muscr man. Neo nodded beside him. The whole team felt a little depressed. You Zhichi looked at her brother and said, "Bro, I learned from the master, an array called levitation control. In ancient times, people used this array to travel on their weapons. How wonderful would it be if we could have those things now, no?"


    Ihi eximed, "Huh, for real? Why did the world advance and forgot the ancient things?"


    Fenny chuckled as she spoke up, "Not that we forgot, but those old methods look crude to people so they developed something elegant. The weapons used for traveling are like magvs we use now. But we have no maic field here."


    Snow sighed and spoke, "How nice if the two rods, You Xi Wang held could fly?"


    You Xi Wang was sitting not far, and he was struck by lightning when he heard these words. He couldn''t help but rush and hugged Snow. Then he spun her around in a circle. The girl was struck in a daze and so was everyone else. You Xi Wang put down the crimson-faced girl in his arms and yelled, "Snow, you are a genius. Haha haha..." he startedughing like maniacs.


    He walked up to Yuki and spoke before the girl could say anything, "Love, do you still have those spare Katana''s?" his voice was as soft as silk. How could Yuki even stay focused when her boyfriend called her in such a manner?


    She hummed and bowed her head to look at the ground. She asked nothing and took out at least 30 swords from her space ring. She would carry spare swords to practice her skills. She did not use her spirit weapon until it was a real battle because she believed that showing her weapon to everyone is not a good thing. Her Katana will only be taken out when she is battling or alone.


    You Xi Wang knew this habit of hers that is why he asked her for the swords. As soon as she took out the swords You Xi Wang kissed her cheeks and picked up a sword from the ground, ignoring the bulging eyes of mostly everyone. He then took out an engraving pen from his space ring. He closed his eyes to adjust his mental state.


    You Zhichi saw this situation and asked everyone to back off some distance. Her brother was going to engrave a spirit array on the de. He needed a tranquil surrounding where no one disturbed him. You Xi Wang was a talent as he was helped by the system and recently he had gained some insights into arrays.


    He was just a step away from stepping into a Grade 2 array master. You Xi Wang controlled some of his spirit energy to channel through his body and concentrate on the tip of the engraving pen. The tip of the pen shone with golden color. You Xi Wang slowly touched the tip of the pen to the surface of the de. Then slowly he engraved the array on the de.


    Every stroke of the pen was clear and firm. You Xi Wang understood one thing when he wasprehending the array knowledge Animus passed on to him. Whenever you set up an array, either with spirit stones or with an engraving pen, always be calm and confident. This mindset will not let your array fail in the middle. A wrong or faulty array would never work.


    The boy engraved aplicated rune on the de. The processsted for 30 minutes. His forehead was covered with sweat. He was a little tired mentally. The spirit energy control required to engrave an array rune is very taxing on the brain. Constant flow of spirit energy at a uniform rate, even experts would be tired. You Xi Wang was a rookie in his first attempt to engrave a top first grade array.


    He was now in thest step ofpleting the array. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead to the corner of his eye. The boy couldn''t help but blink his eyes as his hand move downward. The line he wanted to engrave diverted from its path. The sword trembled violently and You Xi Wang retreated tens of meters and controlled the wind energy to form a shield around him and the others.


    The team members also saw this, and they retreated a little more. The trembling sword was now emitting strong spirit energy fluctuations, and suddenly it exploded. The explosion force turned the prices into deadly shrapnels flying randomly in the void. Thankfully the team retreated while You Xi Wang cast a spirit shield around him otherwise they could have gotten hurt.


    You Zhichi rushed towards her brother. The others followed her in an instant. The Heavenly maiden spoke anxiously, "Gougou, are you alright?" she touch You Xi Wang''s face and checked him.


    You Xi Wang said sheepishly, "Hehehe, sweat got in my eye and then thest stroke deviated from the original path." although heughed as if nothing big happened but in his heart he was aware, that one moment of dy could have taken away his life.


    He sat up and said, "Calm down, or you will be the heavenly hag. Let me review the whole process. I will make it work just fine the next time."


    Without waiting for her response, he closed his eyes and sat down in the lotus position.


    Fenny clicked her tongue and said, "Big sister Zhichi, is it just me or this brat is acting a little too cocky today? First hugged, senior sister snow, then coaxed and kissed Pukey. Now calling you a hag. I will give him a goodshing,ter. Trying to be smart with this big momma, humph. Only I can be the hooligan in this team."


    She was very annoyed when she saw You Xi Wang acting roguishly. The others only shook their heads in helplessness. They all havee to an understanding that these five people are weirdos. You Zhichi just smiled. She has watched these two grow up and knew that none of them was lesser than each other in being naughty.


    The team also sat down at a distance. Some gossiped while some meditated. You Xi Wang sat down inprehension for an hour. Then, he opened his eyes and without wasting a moment he picked up a sword from the lot and engraved an array rune. This time Maya sat down beside him. She decided in her heart to cast a gust of cold wind lest a drop of sweat created such a dangerous situation again.


    This time You Xi Wang took 20 minutes to carve the array. The time difference was approximately ten minutes lesser than before. The boy carefully drew thest stroke connecting the whole rune like a circuit, and the spirit energy gushed inside the sword. The sword which was ced on the ground levitated.


    The team has been watching from the sidelines cheered You Xi Wang.


    "Yeah, captain, you rock!!"


    "Hurray, baby Wang."


    "Way to go, bro Wang."


    You Xi Wang did not waste time to celebrate and took out a jade price from his space ring and engraved an array rune on it. After ten minutes the jade piece and the sword resonated and the ruin carved over them emitted a glow. You Xi Wang moved his hand, and the sword moved in the same direction.


    He turned to his team and said, "Now you can apuse." His tone was cheeky. Fenny couldn''t help it anymore and ran up to him and kicked his shin.

 Chapter 180: Discovery.

    Chapter 180: Discovery.


    You Xi Wang rubbed his shin with an aggrieved expression. Fenny snatched the array jade from his hand and started to study it. You Xi Wang ignored her and picked up another sword. He spoke to his sister, "Big Sis, I can only engrave the arrays seven times before my spirit energy depletes. After that, you will have to carry me. One flying sword is enough to carry two people together. Will you be okay with that?"


    You Zhichi smiled and gave him a nod. If she won''t carry her brother then who would? Also, she had the highest cultivation realm in the whole team so she couldst for a little longer than the others. She also knew why You Xi Wang asked her before refining the swords. In this ce absorbing the spiritual energy was very difficult. She has been trying to refine some spirit energy but was unable to. You Xi Wang did not want to stay in this ce anymore thus he told her about his condition.


    Including the one sword, he has already refined the other seven will allow the whole team to move quickly. You Xi Wang worked very efficiently and engraved the array runes sessfully on the swords. It took him three more hours toplete the task. He sat down on the ground powerlessly after he refined thest jade piece to control the sword. He spoke in a low voice, "Let''s go, we are leaving."


    You Zhichi came to his side and helped him stand up. You Xi Wang was now exhausted both mentally and spiritually. His physical strength did not matter much. If the brain is not able to control the body then it is just like an empty rifle. Yuki and Fenny shared one sword, Neo and An got one, Lena and snow shared one. Hercules and the others paired among themselves. You Zhichi took her brother and stood upon the sword. The sword was turned on its side making it easier for them to bnce. They were cultivators and their senses and body control were better than ordinary humans. They could have easily stood on the edge of the de but still, they could make things easier.


    The spirit beasts were all hiding inside the shadows cast by the swords levitating in the void. There was no sun in the sky but it was bright as a day. Under You Zhichi''s lead, the swords flew towards the east. They did not maintain any formation at this moment because their speed of traveling was a little too fast. The flying sword would fly as fast as the cultivator riding them inputs the spirit energy. The array rune would resonate with the spirit energy in the world. The world is stronger and bigger than a human. So the more spirit energy a human would release the better the world willmunicate with it. This array You Xi Wang engraved on the swords was like a small negative charged needle while the Spirit energy of the world was a big positive charge hill. Physics 101, opposites attract.


    So as the team traveled the speed increased a lot. You Xi Wang was constantly trying to gather some of the spirit energy in order to alleviate his weakness. As the swords traveled through the void, he noticed that it was getting easier to perceive the spirit energy but the speed of the sword was also elerating a little too much. He spoke to his sister, "We are getting closer to the source. The speed will exceed that of sound in a few minutes."


    He spoke to his team in a loud voice, "Everyone, listen up. Cast a spirit shield, we are reaching Mach speed." no one was a fool but it was his duty as a captain to alert them all. Although they were cultivators, the impact of the sonic boom could affect their mind and senses. The slightest dizziness at such a high speed on the flying sword could cause a serious ident. The team acted quickly, one person controlled the sword and the other cast a spirit shield.


    You Xi Wang spoke to his sister, "Give me the jade, I will control the direction. The sword is now flying on its own. I have recovered some energy but it will not be enough to cast a spirit shield."


    You Zhichi gave him the jade and raised her hand. Soon a thin film of light blue energy was formed in front of the flying sword. The wind rushing in their eyes also stopped. And just as they have predicted soon they heard consecutive explosions.


    <strong>BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG...</strong>


    The eight flying swords exceeded the speed of sound. You Xi Wang could not speak to them using normal methods. He typed a text on his Holo-Phone. They had an application that allowed them to talk to each other without Metr. But they all needed to be within a 100 meters radius. The text asked all of them to control their swords and form a wing formation. This formation will allow them to elerate even more. The team followed the instructions and soon they were arranged in a formation.


    Five swords in the front while three swords followed behind them. The speed all of them were moving at was uniform because they were all being pulled. So they decided to act as the spearhead in rotation and recover in a cycle. The travel speed slowly increased to Mach2. They were now being pulled for 3 days. Yes, the time passed very slowly and they were now feeling bored of both thendscape and the speed. At first, it was exciting to move at such a high speed. But now they have adapted this speed. To make things even more absurd. You Xi Wang asked them to train while traveling.


    For the past 24 hours, they have been cultivating, controlling the spirit shield and direction, and trained their senses as well. They would take a picture of the scene and then try topare it with their own eyesight. This is not a method of training but You Xi Wang pranked them. He wanted to see when will they start using their brains and find out that they were not improving. You Zhichi took fifteen minutes and the phantoms took an hour. You Xi Wang did not let them tell the others.


    Soon, a week inside the dimensional pocket has passed. The team was now talking with text messages.


    Yuki; Tell me how long will it take to reach the end of thisndscape?


    Neo; Who knows? The speed is not elerating anymore. Maybe, we can get out of this rock in today itself.


    An; I am so bored...


    Hercules; +1


    Lena; +1


    Snow; ...


    You Xi Wang was reading these messages. He sensed the sword elevation changing. He texted, "Be alert, we are descending.


    The team suddenly turned alert and they all sensed this anomaly. The system spoke in You Xi Wang''s mind, [I sense a valley ahead. The spirit concentration is very dense there.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''How far?''


    The system replied, [ETA 3 hours.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, ''Okay.''


    He did not convey the message he got to the team. The system can use soul sense. You Xi Wang can also do that but he is not very proficient in it. His level of control doesn''t expand more than 1 kilometer while the system''s capacity was unknown. They were traveling at a speed twice that of sound making it impossible for You Xi Wang to rely on his senses.


    Soon, five hours passed. The scene changed abruptly. They all saw a giant tree silver tree standing in the middle of a deep valley. The swords deelerated were fast and came to a stop near the tree. You Xi Wang spoke, "This tree is the source of the spirit energy fluctuation. Stay alert, be mindful of traps and tricks."


    The team quickly moved and formed the previous moving castle formation. They observed the surroundings. The valley was lush and covered with a lot of colorful flowers. The giant tree was 1500 meters long from the ground to the tip. The silver leaves formed a dense and bright canopy spanning at least double the tree''s length. You Xi Wang and the others checked the area around the tree and after an hour they found no abnormality.


    Hercules spoke as he exhaled deeply, "Finally, we can sit down." he leaned against the tree trunk and sat down on the ground. It was as if the tree was woken up by Hercules. The lush silver canopy trembled. The whole valley shook. The flower buds covering the valley bloomed. The team sprung up into action. Just as You Xi Wang was about to instruct the team. He was interrupted by an ethereal voice from the tree trunk.


    "Excuse me, but what are you people doing here?" the ethereal voice said. The whole team was shocked. You Xi Wang turned his head towards the source of the voice. He mentally asked Maya toe out and hide. In case the other party is hostile, she can attack. He was about to reply when the tree trunk twisted.


    In the center of the tree trunk a hole appeared. From the hole emerged ady wearing green clothes. Herplexion was fair, her beauty was something anyone has never seen. Even You Zhichi was surprised. You Xi Wang was attracted to not her face but her extended ears.


    He blurted out subconsciously, "Elf."

 Chapter 181: Are You Kidding?

    Chapter 181: Are You Kidding?


    The girl with long hair heard what You Xi Wang said. She looked at him with a smile and spoke in a soft voice, "You all seem to be ounders. How do you know that I am an Elf?"


    The system spoke in You Xi Wang''s mind, [Wake up, horny dog.] his remark pped You Xi Wang awake from the daze. He spoke, "Intuition."


    The elf girl smiled, "Well, it has been a very long time since any ounders visited Elfheim. So, on behalf of the entire forest elf race, I, Sasha, wee you to the capital of the Elven nation, Natura." after she was done speaking, Sasha bowed slightly to You Xi Wang and the others.


    You Xi Wang returned the gesture, and spoke, "We thank you for the wee. My name is You Xi Wang, this is my team. We were sent in the dimensional pockets as a test of our skills. We came unannounced, please ept our apology."


    Sasha shook her head and said, "No need to be humble. It has been a long time since we could interact with any ounders. If you do not mind, pleasee along. I will take you to our queen. It was, her majesty, who sensed your arrival and sent me here to greet you."


    You Xi Wang and the others were a little hesitant. After all, the other side was aplete stranger. Sasha sensed their hesitation and looked at them patiently with a faint smile. The system spoke, [It is fine, I don''t sense any malice from her.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke in the minds of his team-mates, ''I don''t sense any malice from her, let''s go but stay alert.''


    The team all nodded and You Zhichi spoke to Sasha, "Pardon the intrusion." her soft and calm voice surprised Sasha. She did not expect this oundish girl to have such a temperament. Sasha smiled brightly and said, "Please,e along with me." with that said the elf turned her back to the group and walked to the hole inside the tree trunk. She pressed her hand on a bulge and spoke, "Open."


    The tree hole erged and Sasha walked through it. You Xi Wang entered first, followed by the entire team. The other side of the tree hole was not something You Xi Wang could ever have imagined. Based on his knowledge of the fantasy magic species, the elves. This was sphemy. He always thought that if this fantasy race was to be living somewhere in the world, it would be forests. The elves were the people blessed by nature. Even if it was the dark elves, he read about. They would also stay in the wild underground.


    But the scenery behind the tree hole was a deficit of anything rted to nature. As far as the eyes could see, there were skyscrapers. People were riding on levitating disks, They wore green leaf-like clothes but You Xi Wang could bet that it was just a fabric design. He turned to face Sasha, who held the earing on her right ear and spoke, "Send a cab, the guests are here."


    The earring which he thought was an exquisite work of elven jewelry turned out to be amunication device. What''s even more exaggerated was that just as soon as she spoke a levitating boat came and stood up in front of the group. The other people in the team were surprised but You Xi Wang was shocked to his core. He never imagined this long-eared beauty to be this kind of elf. He wanted to rush over and pull her ears to see if they are real.


    The system spoke, [What happened? Why don''t you utter ''tech is amazing?'']


    You Xi Wag snared at him, ''Bitch, these are elves? My shit is more natural than these long-eared scammers. She even called themselves Forest elves. I want to rip off her tongue. They ruined my childhood memories and fantasies about elves. Humph.'' he was very irritated right now.


    The system was silent at first and then it startedughing inside You Xi Wang like a maniac. Sasha on the other side spoke to You Xi Wang, "You all board the cab. It will take us directly to the Queen''s pce."


    The team waited for You Xi Wang to take an action. You Xi Wang nodded to her with a functionary smile and boarded the cab. The boat was spacious enough and the group sat downfortably. You Xi Wang spoke the mind of the team and said, "Do not reveal that we have a way to get back to Metropia that does not require us to use spirit energy. Okay?"


    The team all expressed their agreement. The method was a secret. If they encounter any life-threatening situation, then with this method they can leave. But if any enemy got to know about this and disrupted their ns, then it would be an awful thing. Inside this dimension they only had themselves. This is why You Xi Wang made them remember, not to trust these people. As he was lost in thought the boat traveled along the canal these people called path (roadway) leading to the core region of the Natura City.


    In the center of the city, a light green building. The edifice had a metallic luster, making it look exquisite. It was as if greenish-gold was used to mold this building. This construct was not high like the skyscrapers around it. It was only nine floors high. The boat came to a stop in front of the main entrance of the building. Sasha led them all inside.


    At the entrance, a ray of light scanned them and turned red. The two guards on the sides of the gates picked up their weapons and pointed them at You Xi Wang and his team. Sasha hurriedly spoke, "Stop, they are the guest of her majesty."


    One of the guards spoke in a hoarse voice, "They carry weapons. Which guests carry weapons and not gifts when visiting someone?"


    You Xi Wang gazed at him with a poker face. His eyes were cold enough to freeze the guards. The guards matched his gaze and shivered. The elf city was very peaceful regardless of their tech or prosperity. They have never seen any bloodshed while the handsome boy in front of them was a cruel torturist. You Zhichi patted his shoulder lightly, only then did You Xi Wang calmed down. He spoke to Sasha in not so enthusiastic manner.


    "We are ounders, we do not know you guys, still we came deep inside your city. Do not take my patience for my weakness. I am out on a task and will not tolerate any hindrance. We will leave now." he turned and prepared to leave when an ethereal voice rang out.


    "Please stop, sir. I apologize to you for the rudeness of my kinsmen." a woman draped in an olive green gown appeared in front of them. Her face was covered with aura, preventing anyone from ncing at her face. The woman wore a tiara made up of vines and flowers.


    The people in the lobby did not nce at her and kneeled down on one knee. They yelled, "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN"


    This woman was the queen of elves. You Xi Wang nced at her and bowed slightly without taking his eyes off of the woman. He spoke, "Greetings, Your Majesty."


    The team followed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."


    The head veiled with aura seemed to nod at them. The ethereal voice sounded again, "Young friends havee from afar. Come inside the courtroom. I have a feast set up for you." the pace of her speech was calm and steady. She made people feel calm as well.


    You Xi Wang nodded and the team followed her words. Sasha led them behind the queen. The courtroom gave You Xi Wang another shock. This ce was like a ssroom. On a podium, a big queen chair was ced. The woman with an ethereal voice went up and sat down on the chair while she gestured You Xi Wang and the others to sit down on the chairs in front of her. These chairs were smaller in size. They were veryfortable. As soon as the team sat down they couldn''t help but sigh infort.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Your Majesty, My name is You Xi Wang. Thank you for your hospitality."


    The queen spoke, "Young friend You Xi Wang, my name is Ilex. I wee you and your friends to Elfheim."


    You Xi Wang asked another question, "May I ask, what is that giant tree? At first, I thought it was real but then we crossed over like it was a hologram. I feel confused."


    The queen sighed. She spoke, "What you see is the result of ignorance. Ignorance of the High Elf n. They thought of themselves as superior to nature. They started to develop different types of technologies making it easier for the people of Elfheim. The rock in you saw was the industrial area they had developed. Over the years thend started to be more and more deste. To fix this a meeting of the four ns was arranged. The four ns are, High Elves, Forest Elves, Dark Elves, and Warrior Elves."


    The queen paused and observed that everyone was listening to her seriously. She continued, "The four ns discussed over how to rejuvenate thends. The forest elves and the dark elves proposed that we stop technological development for some time. The warrior elves favored it but the High elves countered us. They came forward with a research theory. An artificial rock that would be able to absorb the spiritual energy and thend will flourish again. Though, we were skeptical. We all allowed them to research the rock. The high elves, researched and in their arrogance of technological pioneers, skipped the tests and directly deployed the product. What you refer to as the rock in, we call it the SAS. Spirit Abducting Salt. This thing was able to multiply itself. Although it is growing at a speed of only an inch per year. You can imagine how long we have been trying to deal with it. The high elves thought that we will covet their tech and sneakily they set up a Z ss defense system around theirboratories. Theseboratories hold the methods to deal with this salt and also the pathway to the spiritke underground."


    You Xi Wang was surprised by what he had just learned and so was his team. His pent-up frustration was already at the point of explosion and these details were like the spark over dynamite. He stood up and shouted, "<strong>ARE YOU KIDDING ME?</strong>

 Chapter 182: Poor General.

    Chapter 182: Poor General.


    You Xi Wang''s remark shocked the whole court even the queen herself did not expect such an outburst from him.


    You Xi Wang stayed unaffected and asked, "I have always heard that elves are close to nature and would do nothing to destroy it, yet you guys went forward with the creation of an artificial earthen substance? Are you serious? This is sphemy." he spoke as if he, himself was an elf.


    The team did not understand why the captain was so irritated and triggered. How were they to know that he was a traveler from another world, who grew up reading about the fantasy races? You Zhichi patted his back and said, " Calm down. Let her finish."


    She turned to the queen and spoke in a soft voice, "I apologize for my brother''s rudeness, Your Majesty. He is a kid, I hope you will be generous."


    The queen looked at the two in a daze, then she sighed, "No, what he said is right. It is our own doings that put us in such a situation. The four Elven races of Elfheim are now three."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "What do you mean?"


    He did not make any wild guess this time. This whole event has made him realize the elves were not as he remembered them to be. The stories he read on earth had nothing to do with this world.


    The queen spoke in a somber tone, "The high elves, after failing the research,mitted mass suicide. They were a proud race of people when they discovered the failure and realized how harmful it was for the world. They took penance and killed themselves."


    You Xi Wang sneered as he spoke, "Penance? More like an easy way out. Humph, high elves." His voice was not loud, but it was dripped in strong disdain. A magic creature race like high elves became such a coward. Uneptable.


    The queen spoke, "Young friend You Xi Wang, we elves also want to return to our old ways but we cannot. Theboratory was developed around our holy tree you saw when you came inside. It was a representation of technology and nature. Now only the holy tree can save our race, but we cannot get inside thatbplex. We are hopeless."


    You Xi Wang saw the queen was depressed. She had unconsciously put down her aura veil, revealing a face he could describe. Even beautiful itself could not justify her.


    The system spoke, [Ask them if you could help? In return, get a ce near that spirit Lake. The whole team will have a chance of getting through the primal soul.]


    You Xi Wang sighed, closed his eyes, and spoke, "What can you give me if my team solved it for you?"


    Today he was on a surprising streak. It started with recognizing the elves, then threatening the guards, scolding the queen, and now this. You Zhichi and the others could understand the unstable emotional state, but this is too much. The phantoms even thought that You Xi Wang has been taken over by some alien species for a moment.


    The queen was also surprised when she heard this ounder help them. She got excited and if not for the temperament and manners of a queen, she would have embraced him. She took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions, then she spoke, "Elfheim will be forever grateful to you all. I promise to fulfill all the reasonable demands you have. Please speak freely."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "If we sessfully solved your problem, I and my team will get to practice in the spiritke for the time we stay in this dimension."


    The queen thought about it and spoke, "Agreed. The spiritke will be open for you all."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I would like to have a copy of yourputer technology from the researchb to study."


    The queen agreed to this condition as well. The elves nned to stop developing technologies for the time being and knowing that You Xi Wang was an ounder, he posed no risk to them. If he made any malicious moves against them, then he will be dealt with by the three Elven races.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Apart from our amodations, please get us the scout and recon details of the defense system on thebs. I understand you might not trust mepletely, so call over some high-ranking military officials for discussion. Before we try to raid, we need to develop a strategy. We cannot go in blindly."


    The queen nodded with a calm face, but inside she was shocked. She guessed this handsome boy in front of him to be 18-19, in front of an elf that is just a toddler, yet You Xi Wang''s way of thinking was that of a war veteran. She spoke in a sonorous voice, "Sasha,e to us."


    Sasha was the queen''s handmaid. She has been waiting outside the ssroom, I mean the courtroom to attend to her needs. She heard the voice of the queen and walked inside the courtroom. The Queen spoke, "Call over, General Miles. Tell him the ounders will help us in the matters of theb."


    Sasha was also surprised to hear it. She then spoke in a somewhat hesitant manner, "Your majesty, General Miles, he is difficult. Are you really sure?"


    The queen nodded, Sasha understood the queen has decided. She bowed to the queen and left the courtroom toplete the task. You Xi Wang spoke, "Your majesty, what kind of person is General Miles?"


    The queen sighed and said, "The leader of the warrior elf race. A man of outstanding strength. He is an upright man, but he only recognizes those who are stronger than him. So things might get a little difficult while you talk to him."


    You Xi Wang was not surprised at all. He spoke with a sigh, "Huh, another brawns for the brain. It''s fine, Your majesty. I know, how to deal with him."


    Behind him, his team was already betting about who will win among the two. The queen was now numb to surprise and shocks. She calmly waited for the general to arrive. Soon a loud knock sounded on the courtroom door. Sasha spoke, "Your highness, the general asked the ounders to see him in the training field."


    The queen shook her head, an embarrassed smile surfaced on her face. She was about to speak to You Zhichi and the others when You Xi Wang stood up and said, "Come, let''s go, the general is waiting." he nced at the queen and shook his head in disappointment. You Xi Wang was master of the family, his majesty. Hismands were not to be defied and challenged at any costs. If someone did it, he would have beaten that person half-inch to death. Yet now he saw THE QUEEN of a race reacting like this to a defiant general. He was disappointed.


    The queen sensed his gaze and bit her lower lip. She was a leader and despite being pushed around by the others, she could sense the loathing in You Xi Wang''s gaze. She did not know how to match eyes with him. Without speaking a word, she led the others through the edifice and came to the big backyard. This backyard was a deste area, known as the training field. This ce was the domain of the general. You Xi Wang saw a stalwart figure with shining silver armor standing in the center of the field.


    The man looked very handsome. His silver-white hair styled in a crew cut made him look even more awe aspiring. On his back hung a broad sword. He nced towards the group and everyone sensed a strong battle aura radiating from the man training to suppress them.


    "Humph." a snort rang out and dispersed the aura. The snort was made by You Zhichi. Although she was the calm and generous Celestial Maiden. She hated arrogant men, except her brother obviously.


    The general looked at the source of the snort and was surprised. His eyes were glued to You Zhichi. He spoke, "Ounders can be beautiful. Hahaha, good. Lady, I have selected you to be my bride. I have never married, but you just made me fall in love with you. Haha haha... I am..." before he could finish his words, a cold aura radiated throughout the field. The general noticed the anomaly.


    He saw a handsome boy staring at him with dead, cold eyes. He smiled, "This beautiful boy is thisdy yourpanion? Hahaha... don''t worry, you will not suffer. I will let a beauty from my n be with you."


    Fenny raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Okay, he just booked a ticket to ninth hell."


    The others nodded. The team was shivering. Not because they were excited, but they were scared. They have seen You Xi Wang dealing with people who speak ill of her sister. Yuki spoke in a cold voice, "Crippled for sure."


    Neo spoke, "Half an inch from death."


    An spoke while he shook his head, "Poor Elf."


    The queen heard all these remarks and asked, "What are you all talking about?"


    Lena spoke, "Your general, just woke up a devil, he shouldn''t have. Please inform your medical staff to be prepared."


    The queen was confused, and she looked at You Xi Wang, who had a faint smile on his face. She then matched his eye level. The queen took three steps back when she sensed the chill in You Xi Wang''s gaze. She was genuinely scared.

 Chapter 183: Asura.

    Chapter 183: Asura.


    You Xi Wang nced at the general and spoke, "Are you sure about what you said just now?" his tone was calm, a faint smile rested on his lips. The general sensed something and hesitated before answering. He decided to change the topic and pursue beautyter. He spoke, "Who is the leader of your team? Come, let''s fight. See who is stronger?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Let''s fight." he made it clear that he was the leader of this team. The general nodded and beckoned him with his hand toe on. They were thirty feet apart. You Xi Wang did not hesitate even for a second.


    He used his azure dragon steps and with one step he appeared next to the general. He spoke with a smile, "You will regret it."


    The general did not even have the time to think before he felt a strong impacting from his waist. You Xi Wang''s knee was connected to the general''s waist. The armor provided him with some protection but the impact still made him retreat five steps. You Xi Wang stated, "Hmm, some strength you have there."


    The general was not given the time to counter. You Xi Wang shed to his side. A brawler glove covered his hand and the fist connected to his right temple. The general felt a little dizzy, retreated again trying to find his bearing.


    You Xi Wang caught up again, a cold dagger appeared in his hand. The armor was strong but the design followed along the traditional lines. The joints still had some gaps inside them. The dagger was aimed straight at the gap on the shoulder joint. The dagger was enshrouded with all attribute spirit energy. It pierced through the armor like a hot knife through butter. You Xi Wang did not stop at stabbing. He twisted the de as it was inside the shoulder.


    The general screamed, "<strong>ARGHHHH</strong>"


    The queen stood at the sidelines in shock. She never expected this young man to be so lethal. She couldn''t help but ask, "How old is he to be this fierce?"


    Yuki spoke indifferently, "16 years and 5 months old."


    The queen opened her eyes wide and her jaw fell down. She could not understand how could such a young person be so fierce and he was the captain of this team too. The team did not pay attention to her shock struck expression. They all watched as the battle yed on the field. The queen was still stuck in a daze. She only woke up when she heard another scream from the general.


    You Xi Wang was holding onto the general''s leg and it was twisted at a weird angle. Apparently, while the queen was shocked. The general kicked You Xi Wang in retaliation and the boy grabbed hold of his leg. Kicked the general in his other leg, made him fall down on his ass, and then with a smile slowly twisted the leg. He did it slowly because he wanted the general to feel the pain. The muscles ruptured first, then the veins copsed, and finally, the bone fractured in multiple ces.


    You Xi Wang let go of the broken leg. The general''s eyes turned red. He yelled, "Bastard, I will kill you. Your friends, your family. I will kill them all." his voice echoed in the whole city. The people in the pce heard it. Some guards came over when they heard the general yelling. The five guard team saw that the general was lying down on the ground. They quickly picked up their phasor guns and aimed them at You Xi Wang. Before they could speak or react five ice des formed in front of their throats. Any slightest moment and Maya would kill them.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "If you do not want to die the most horrible death. Then shut up and watch or leave." as soon as he finished talking a light shed. You Xi Wang took three steps back. His left shoulder had a hole in it. His face did not change expression. The team did not react. You Zhichi spoke, "Your majesty, I apologize but, there will be bloodshed. If you are faint-hearted. You should leave. Also, the next time someone interferes, we will take a shot. You Don''t want to be at the odds with us."


    You Xi Wang''s figure vanished and he appeared on a high tower in the pce. This high tower was the location from where the shot was made. You Xi Wang spoke in a cold voice, "As expected of a dark elf. Sneaky like a rat."


    On the tower stood an elf with a darkplexion. He was surprised to see the boy appear here. As the distance of the high tower from the training ground was 500 meters. You Xi Wang came here in one second. He snapped out of the daze and found the whole world spinning. He then saw a headless body. Then he thought, "That''s my body..." and his consciousness faded. A fountain of blood erupted from the body where the neck was shed.


    You Xi Wang again used shadow travel and appeared on the training field. His face had some drops of blood staining it. He spoke to the general in a cold voice, "You wanted to marry my sister? Are you worth it? They told me you are the leader of the warrior elves. Hmmm, not much of a warrior."


    He walked forward to the general and thetter crawled away from You Xi Wang. The general saw the stains of blood on his face and realized that You Xi wang killed his sniper guard. He was really scared now. His sniper guard was an elite but You Xi Wang killed him in a blink. He also realized that the woman whom he tried to take was not hispanion but his sister. He regretted being blinded by the beauty. He spoke in a trembling voice, "Forgive me, please forgive me."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "You dared to utter shit about my sister. My family, my friends, and you expect me to spare you so easily? This is just the starting." his figure shed and he appeared next to the general. You Xi Wang kneeled down on one leg and before the general could utter. He took out his star headed spear and stabbed it in General''s already immobile hand. The palm was now nailed to the ground. The general struggled vigorously he used his right hand to punch You Xi Wang but the position he was lying in did not allow him to put any force behind it. Then he took out a gun from his space array on his thigh. He pointed the barrel at the general''s arm.


    <strong>BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG...</strong>


    The boy shot the general five times in the arm. At such a close distance the armor did not have much effect against the special bullets covered in the all attribute spirit energy. The general kept screaming in pain. The people who heard these screams were shivering. The whole pce was quiet. They did not dare to speak anything. The general was an unkempt man. Who would always do everything based on his mood. He was upright but at the same time unrestrained and today his lose restraint made him pay the price.


    You Xi Wang took out Purgatory and unsheathed the sword. The general saw a scene of endless massacre behind You Xi Wang. It was the phenomena created by the ck phoenix spirit inside the sword. You Xi Wang willed the ck fire poison wisps to drill inside the holes. Then he sheathed back the sword and store it on his waist. The poison slowly started to burn and corrode the General''s arm. The person kept lying on the ground, screaming and struggling in pain as You Xi Wang watched him with a serene expression on his face.


    Fenny spoke, "Big Sis, I sometimes think that this boy has a mental problem. One moment he is gentle and another moment he is a sadist. It gives me the creeps, you know."


    You Zhichi smiled and shook her head. She knew that her brother only acted like this when he faced people who disrespected his family. She understood her brother''s thought and favored it as well. To them family was something sacred. This was something they were instilled with from childhood. Children of the family would grow up together while being treated equally. You Xi Wang was loved by all because he was the youngest and also the weaker one. He was unable to keep up with the equal treatment in the family. Yet today he is the pir of the family. This was all possible because of the love and car every children was showered with when they were young. This bond between them was something that was garnered by both sides. Otherwise, things could have been totally different today.


    The general yelled as the me poison drilled through his veins and arm. The poison thoroughly corroded his arm and was about to invade the torso You Xi Wang again took out the sword. The sword trembled as if excited to reap a new life. You Xi Wang caressed the de and said, "Calm down, their will be more opportunities. Though you can have his arm."


    A strong sword intent formed in front of him and shed at the general''s arm and detached itpletely from the body. You Xi Wang spoke to the screaming victim, "Quiet, did you see me screaming like a wimp when I was shot? Look I still have a hole in my shoulder." as he was speaking the dark smoke wisps from the sword started to erase the detached arm. Yes, you read it right. The arm was erased, destroyed on the partical level.


    You Zhichi spoke in surprise, "He invoked Asura spirit mode of the sword. When did heprehend that?" her voice was very low only some one extremely close to him could hear it. Yuki was standing near her and asked anxiously, "Big sis, what is this Asura spirit mode?"


    A smile surfaced on her face and she replied, "The dark phoenix when unlocks intelligence bes asura spirit. The weapon is now sentinal with Gougou as its master. The sword grows with the master. As gougou grows in future so would the sword."


    Yuki nodded feeling that the sword that could level up by itself was very cool.

 Chapter 184: The Strategy Meeting.

    Chapter 184: The Strategy Meeting.


    The group returned to the courtroom with the queen. The general was also following them. Yes, You Xi Wang ''kindly'' fed him a healing pill to mend his broken leg and asked him toe along with him. As for the hand, the elf queen said they have the technology to clone a hand and the general will not be walking around with a stump of an arm. You Xi Wang counseled the general about how he could have died in at least 100 different ways with no chance to retaliate.


    The dark elf in the high tower was under an illusion cast by You Xi Wang. He was not beheaded, but his index finger was broken off by You Xi Wang and the blood from it was used for his make-up. After You Xi Wang entered the high tower he cast an illusion, making the dark elf believe he is dead. Then he cast an array to keep the illusion go on for at least thirty minutes. The dark elf guard was spared of harsh treatment, he was only made to see an empty ck void after his ''death'' and not the nine hell of torture.


    The general looked at You Xi Wang and couldn''t help but feel chills in his heart. After the treatment he had just received, he realized that beauty is appreciated but from a distance and in secret. The team members who observed the general''s reaction could bet their life on the fact that he would never dare to look at women, let alone beautiful ones. After reaching the courtroom, You Xi Wang saw a loli waiting for them. The loli was of darkplexion. You Xi Wang exhaled heavily and shook his head to calm himself. In the manga''s dark elves were always curvy and seductive, but what stood in front of him vited dark elves.


    The Lolita grinned and exposed a slightly overgrown canine. She was very adorable. Fenny was about to rush up and embrace her when the queen made the introductions.


    "Young Friend You Xi Wang, this is the leader of the dark elves, Aura."


    You Xi Wang nodded to the dark elf lolita. The girl looked at You Xi Wang from head to toe and said, "You are quite handsome, young man."


    Yuki came to You Xi Wang''s side and half his arm while her cold eyes locked at the Lolita. The Lolita giggled and said, "It is just apliment. I am not into younger boys." Yuki still felt angry.


    The entourage entered the courtroom. The general spoke, "The data and reports of theb are here." he spoke in a hesitant manner and took out a round object from his utility belt. You Xi Wang stretched out his hand. His simple action made the general flinch. You Xi Wang shook his head and still snatched the round ball. He scrutinized and heard the Dark elf Loli speak, "You need to squeeze it gently."


    You Xi Wang did as she said and a 3-dimensional structure appeared in front of them. This was the building they needed to raid. Theb was like an early Victorian fort. The general spoke, "The corners are mounted with automated phasor guns, the effective range of the guns is two kilometers. They are motion-sensitive, capable of piercing through the toughest armor we have. Thermal and infrared sensors are also equipped. A total of 10 guns are mounted over the walls. Apanied by fifty spirit guns. These guns have an effective range of 1 kilometer. They don''t have any sensors, but they were in sync with the phasor guns. Theb premises are monitored by all day around by drones and robots."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "That is not all. They did all this to keep you out. If someone sessfully forced their way inside theb? Big momma, what do you think?" he turned his head to look at Fenny, who stood beside him.


    She spoke, "Grid locking doors, Poison chambers, traps, even self destruct is also possible. The only sure short way to disarm this system is to locate its CCM. It won''t be easy to find that in this big ce. Even if we go incognito with Maya. The limited energy will make it hard for us."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "We can make concealment arrays inside. But if the robots detected any clues then it will be a problem. Phasor guns are deadly." he spoke as he looked at his shoulder.


    You Zhichi spoke, "We can use the smokescreen method to fool the robots."


    Neo spoke, "Underground assault."


    Lena spoke, "Guerri Tactics will work as well."


    Snow spoke, "If detection can cause the system to react, then we can make chaos once inside. Too many rms might confuse the system algorithm."


    You Xi Wang looked at the general and spoke, "This system, is it capable of learning and improvisation?"


    The general shook his head and spoke, "We are not sure. We could never make it inside the fort." he lowered his head at the end, he was ashamed of their performance. Plus, he has been bested out by You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang crossed his arms behind his back and paced around the courtroom. He was thinking of contingency ns for every aspect that he could think of inside the fort. He spoke slowly, "Neo, Hercules, Ihi, you guys will go through the underground. Keep in touch through the spirit beasts. We maintain radio silence inside the fort in case they have radio jammers and interceptors deployed."


    The team spoke, "YES."


    You Xi Wang continued to speak, "Bro An, Lena, Sterling, and Wenger. You will enter the fort and then set fire in ces. Create chaos. Be careful to leave no traces. If this system could learn and track. Then it will be a big problem."


    An and his group yelled, "YES."


    You Xi Wang looked at the other people and spoke, "You Zhichi, Yuki, Snow, Kurtis, Jim, Gomez, Bale, and Fenny. You are the strike team. When the chaos is raised, rush towards the core. Deal with the robots and drones silently. The spirit beasts will help you cover. They have abilities to create a smokescreen and shadow skip."


    You Zhichi asked, "Gougou, what about you? I don''t hear about your role in the raid."


    You Xi Wang smiled and spoke softly, "Pioneer and assassination. I will try to get through the outer defense first. You all follow the same method. Don''t start worrying, I have the array disks with me."


    You Zhichi sighed and spoke, "You better be careful or I will let Yuki y ayer of skin from you."


    He paused and picked a ss of water from the table. After taking two sips, he spoke to the queen, "Do You have technicians in your ns?"


    The queen, the dark elf loli and the general were all sitting in a daze. They did not expect this group of children toe up with such ns in session. They did not even hear You Xi Wang speaking to them. When they heard these people talking. They only came back to their senses when You Xi Wang literally screamed inside their minds.


    The Queen spoke embarrassingly, "Yes, young friend You Xi Wang. What is it we can do to help you?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Do you have any technicians capable of making high precision equipment?"


    The queen nodded and spoke, "Yes, we do. Do you have anything to make them?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Yes, get me a team of the technicians. Fenny, get them to make detection beads. As many as possible. Detect every corner and lobby of the fort before taking a step inside. Okay?"


    Fenny nodded in affirmation. The queen arranged for Sasha to escort Fenny and Yuki to the workshop. You Xi Wang spoke, "Get my team phasor guns, and a ce where they train and get familiar with the weapons. Also, if you have any robots simr to those inside the fort. Let us use them for training."


    This whole thing was said to the general. The general nodded and arranged for his personal guards to take the others to get them trained with the arms and ammunition. You Xi Wang spoke one more time before leaving, "I need to read more about the technology you have developed. We will raid in five days. Please arrange for our amodation. Don''t worry about the rest. We will get the things done."


    The queen nodded and spoke with a smile, "We believe in you. The amodations are already arranged. Please follow the attendant outside."


    You Xi Wang nodded and left the courtroom. After he left the Dark Elf Loli spoke, "I feel, he can get it done. Maybe our races will survive."


    The general''s stiff body finally rxed, and he spoke, "He can do it. Don''t worry. When he destroyed my hand. I did not even think about retaliation. Even then he was holding back. Also, the n of invasion they came up with just after watching the holographic model. These kids are all monsters in human skin. But that handsome boy is a devil."


    The Queen spoke, "Devil or the god, he is our only hope. If he can get rid of that thing, I won''t mind crowing him the first king in the history of Elfheim. Let''s support them to the best of our abilities."


    The three people discussed the matter for a long time and then finally they also left to attend to their own tasks. The team was immersed in training for the raid while You Xi Wang chugged on the technological knowledge.

 Chapter 185: Preparations.

    Chapter 185: Preparations.


    You Xi Wang and his team prepared for the raid. The teams got familiar with the weapons and gadgets they were provided with while You Xi Wang was absorbing every piece of knowledge he got from the library of Elfheim. He wanted to learn about the tech and then use it for himself.


    Two days passed, You Xi Wang called Fenny over to the library. He spoke, "Bro, the phasor guns they developed can be detected by theb system. You need to bypass the detection code. If the system can detect the weapons, then the raid will fail."


    Fenny spoke, "These people are quiet slick. Leaving the backdoor entrance in the weapons. Tsk tsk, sneaky bugs. How do I bypass this code?"


    You Xi Wang took out a storage cube. The elves used a cube shaped device to store the data in theirputers. He spoke, "This is something I wrote. It will bypass the detection without disturbing the performance of the weapon."


    Fenny nodded. She was no stranger to You Xi Wang''s pace of learning. This guy could read 30 books a day. Now that he has a system. The capability was thrice as big as it was in the past. Fenny took the storage cube and spoke, "I sent Neo and Hercules to scout the outer periphery of the fort and made a discovery."


    You Xi Wang raised his brows in askance. Fenny continued to speak, "50 meters around the castle is a minefield. The mines are difficult."


    You Xi Wang asked, "What is the difficulty?"


    Fenny replied, "The mines are underground. They seem to the precautions against underground assault. They get triggered as soon as they sense tremors. The elves were unaware of this and only found outst night when Neo went to scout."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Do we have specification of the mines? And any defusing method?"


    Fenny shook her head. She spoke, "This is seemingly the secret tech developed by the high elves."


    You Xi Wang paced around for a while and then spoke, "Destructive diffusion. Clear the field. The debris will act as our cover from the spirit canon."


    Fenny thought and said, "Hmm, though a certain risk is involved, but we can avoid it with proper methods. I will get it done."


    You Xi Wang nodded and asked her to get back to the workshop and adjust the weapons and gadgets. He himself went inside to study theyout of the fort. What concerned him was the drone patrol and battle bots. The Elven council has given him some battle bot avable to them for research. The results shocked him. The battle bots the Elven council had were not as advanced as the ones estimated in the fort.


    You Xi Wang muttered to himself, "These high elves were sure a pain in ass. Even a robot they created was as strong a primal soul realm cultivator."


    The system spoke, [How about we find the central system hub and then nt aputer virus?]


    You Xi Wang spoke, "The system inside theb is not only a security system but an overall administration system. The defense capabilities are not something recorded inside the books we have here. Also, we are beginners. We also don''t know if the system is capable of self defense. How do you think we will nt a virus?"


    The system replied, [Then what do you suggest we do? ]


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Old-school demolition. Crash and trash. Call it whatever you want, but the meaning is the same. Destroy the surveince and the robots. Then get the data from the unit. They might have a self destruct system and encryptions on the data. Find aputer hub, then infiltrate and shut down as soon as possible."


    The system spoke, [Is this why we developed spike?]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Yes, that is the motive behind my move. You monitor spike as it grows. I am going to design a stealth battle suit."


    The system spoke, [How do you n to do that?]


    You Xi Wang replied, "Level two concealment and illusion array hybrid. And before you ask what is the reason behind this, let me tell you it is to reduce Maya''s load during the raid."


    The system hummed and without a single word it started controlling theputer system ced inside his room while You Xi Wang himself engraved array runes on his battle suit.


    Rather than using a new battle suit. You Xi Wang worked on an already used battle suit. He already engraved space array runes over the suit beforeing here. This time he followed with his idea of hybrid level two array runes to create a stealth suit.


    He was immersed in his own task diligently. The others were also working hard. Hercules and Neo constantly discussed how to diffuse the mines and then infiltrate the fort from underground. An and You Zhichi worked together and rehearsed how to disrupt surveince and then raid. They were asked by You Xi Wang to achieve a smooth cooperation. This battle had a big risk factor involved for them. Even though they would be in danger, but this situation would make them more battle ready.


    Fenny was though a technology advisor of the team. She handled only technical help and not taking action directly. All their actions were being monitored by the council. The method they used was unknown, but it was reliable. Any teams found cheating would be immediately transferred out of the dimensional pockets. Although the battle fest was being organized for the first time. This method has always been implemented during the annual assessments.


    ...


    In the training ground, You Zhichi and Snow led two groups of people to tackle the battle bots and automated guns while Yuki was tasked to deal the decisive blow to the weakened machines. Yuki used her sword draw style to pinpoint attack and make the kill.


    An and his team rehearsed the smoke screen strategy in a temporary model of the fort constructed by the military elves. You Zhichi was the one who came up with this idea. She wanted to lower down the risk factor as much as possible. She cared a lot about her team.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was engraving an array rune when he heard a knock on his door. Hepleted the rune and said in a low voice, "Come in."


    The door opened with a click and Ilex the queen of forest elves appeared. She spoke politely, "Young friend. I have something to discuss. May I?"


    You Xi Wang nodded silently. Ilex came inside the room, followed by the dark elf loli and the general.


    Ilex spoke first, "Sir, the system inside the fort uses Elvennguage. We thought if you need some help with it then we can send our people with you."


    The general and the loli looked at You Xi Wang from the side. You Xi Wang spoke, "Can they keep up with my team?"


    Ilex spoke, "Yes. They can. They are the team we have been training for the past 50 years. They are all experts in quick attacks. Also, elf bloodline makes it easier for them to locate the desired content in the data storage."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Will they be able to help us bypass the battle bots? Or get the surveince down.


    Ilex smiled embarrassingly and exchanged nces with elf loli and general miles. She spoke bitterly, "This will not be possible. The fort centralputing unit has always been kept secret by the high elves."


    You Xi Wang nced at them with a poker face. He spoke ndly, "If you his anything, and that caused my team to suffer. I will make you all pay a price you can''t afford." the chill radiated from his voice made the three people shiver. The general had sweat beads forming on his forehead.


    He spoke, "Young Sir, we elves maybe anything. But we do not lie. We regret what has happened to our world because of our ignorance. You gave us a hope. We will never do anything to harm you or your people." his expression was sincere. You Xi Wang gazed at him for a while and then nodded.


    Then he spoke, "I will see this team tomorrow morning. I will test therebat effectiveness personally. If they pass, they cane along. I will test my team as well. So please don''t think that I have anything against you."


    The trio nodded and left after exchanging pleasantries. They heaved a sigh of relief aftering out of the door. The dark elf loli spoke, "Although this handsome boy is still in his teenage. He is indeed very strong. I feel uneasy when he looks at me with a dead expression."


    The general spoke, "You measure his strength incorrectly. He is weaker than any of us, but his brain works better than us. The way he carries himself is what strengthens him. His character I mean."


    Ilex also nodded and spoke, "I agree, he only shows the intent to kill when it considers his family and friends. That girl you pointed out at is his elder sister. The only immediately blood rtive he has. I talked to her. She showed me how cruel this guy can be to someone who challenges his bottom line. You can consider yourself lucky."


    The general shivered and nodded in agreement like a chick pecking grains. They all understood that You Xi Wang is a decisive character and offending him might spell disaster for them.

 Chapter 186: Raid.

    Chapter 186: Raid.


    You Xi Wang sat in his room in the Elven royal pce. In front of him, a monitor flickered constantly. A series of words were written on the disy monitor and You Xi Wang''s fingers hovered over the keyboard. Though there was one peculiarity, the characters printed on the screen and the keyboard were not in either of thenguages of Metropia. The Maestro was writing codes in Elvennguage.


    A rhythmic clicking sound rang in the room causing the mood to be strangely serene. At this moment the system spoke in his mind, [Master, you sister is here.]


    You Xi Wang responded, "Let her in."


    The door of the room opened just when his words dropped. You Zhichi, dressed in her white and blue battle suit walked inside. She looked like a goddess of war with her sword tied to her waist. She spotted her brother typing something on aputer. It felt weird to her so she silently walked beside You Xi Wang to see what he was doing.


    She only noticed that he was coding but after a moment her eyes widened in surprise. She spoke, "Gougou, how did you learn the Elvennguage so fast? Now you can even code in it?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head with a faint smile and changed the topic. He asked, "Are you all ready for the raid?"


    You Zhichi nodded with a serious expression on her face. She spoke in a solemn tone, "You dare to ask this question? Yesterday, because of you Yuki almost broke her dao heart." She held his ear between her finger and thumb.


    Her brother grimaced and said, "Chichi, would you prefer me to avoid her mistakes? If I do that then will the battle bots spare her? The level of bots you people faced is nothing but a toypared to the one inside that fort. I would rather have her resent me instead I lose her."


    His words were true. Yesterday was when he tested the teams. Yuki, who was assigned as the critical blow dealer acted with all her strength yet she was limited in her technique. You Xi Wang stopped the test in between and dueled with her. He did not use spirit energy and took 5 moves to defeat Yuki.


    Then heshed out verbally. He knew that thisshing might break Yuki''s dao heart at least he will be able to keep her safe and sound. he did leave a sentence, ''The Yuki I know is strong enough to stand up from this fall.''


    Yuki did not utter a single word to anyone and just stood like a statue in the field as she nced at the leaving You Xi Wang. Only after midnight, she exhaled heavily. A strong sword intent rushed out from her. Due to the pressure put down on her by theshing of You Xi Wang her potential turned and sheprehended the intent of the sword. In the morning she and the whole team again practiced onest time. Their performance increased significantly.


    Yuki smiled and wanted to tell You Xi Wang about her achievement but she hesitated. You Zhichi saw this consoled her, "Don''t worry, let me fix that brat for you" and thus the current situation took ce. You Zhichi heard his serious voice and let go of the ear in her grip with a sigh. She understood that even if her brothers need to push away people to keep them safe, he would do it. She patted his shoulders and said, "Just go and talk to her. Sheprehended the intent of swordst night and her technique also improved significantly."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Yes, don''t worry. I will fix it. Even without youing over I would have done that. I cannot live without her as well. Come, let''s go. My work here is done."


    He took out the data cube from the slot of theputer and led his sister outside the room. The two walked to the entrance of the pce where all the rted parties were gathered. The team was already and so were the few elven members selected by You Xi Wang to help You Zhichi and her team tackle the battle bots. They all stood in attention when they saw You Xi Wang arrive.


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke in a sonorous voice, "Stop thinking about whether you can help others. Stop thinking about your own life. Look at the standing beside you. This person is the one you need to do your best for. If any of you want to y hero or are hesitant, walk out now. I will not stop you or me you at all. You all need to know that if it keeps you safe, I will not hesitate to even push you away from me, because as the captain. I am responsible for you people while you people are responsible for each other as well." he paused and looked at the people in front of him. He saw that none of them flinched at all.


    You Xi Wang spoke again, "So, are you guys ready?"


    The team shouted, "<strong>YES.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang spoke with a smirk, "Let''s go, we have a fort to take down."


    The team again yelled in affirmation. They all were arranged a two people hoverboard for fast travel. You Xi Wang came behind Yuki who stood with her back facing him while everyone took a surfing stance on the board. Yuki also jumped up on a levitating board and when she was about to look who was her partner she felt two strong arms around her waist and a warm cheek against her own.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a soft voice, "I heard someoneprehended the intent of the sword. I wonder how valiant that person is. What do you think sweetheart? Should I pursue her?"


    Yuki snorted and spat, "Bloody womanizer."


    You Xi Wang kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "I apologize, Yuki. I was selfishst night. I cannot afford to lose any one of you. Forgive me for being so rude to you."


    Yuki did not speak for a while and then slightly rubbed her cheek against his face. She spoke, "Only at one condition."


    You Xi Wang asked softly, "Anything."


    Yuki spoke, "Stay at my ce at night when we get back. All the other sisters get to spend the night with you but I do not."


    You Xi Wang smiled and tightened his grip around her waist, "Okay, I promise. After we get back I will stay at your ce for a night."


    Yuki finally smiled after hearing his words. The hoverboard was set to follow the Elven General, who took it on himself to guide them all to the fort. So the young couple talked to each other while traveling ignoring everything. They traveled for thirty hours before reaching their destination. The fort was located in the middle of the rocky in. The hover boards were faster than the flying swords as they used a better material and a better technology.


    The fort was covered with ss panels. The onlooker can not look inside. It was surrounded by thick and tall metallic walls on the four sides. Gigantic canons were visible from a distance. It was a majestic building. Everyone has practiced in the model but the original thing was indeed original. You Xi Wang spoke, "It looks exquisite."


    General Miles led them all to the border of the minefield. He spoke to You Xi Wang, "Sir, this is where thend mines start. You can walk on the ground normally for another 500 meters before the phasor canons start shooting." after the testst night he did not dare to address You Xi Wang as ''young friend'' anymore. The way You Xi Wang broke the elvesst night, it was horrible to even call it horrible. He even wanted to yell the M-word.


    You Xi Wang nodded indifferently and turned to Neo, Hercules, and Ihi, "Chain reaction around the minefield. Do not leave any potential dangers."


    The trio nodded and walked ahead of the team and kneeled on one knee. They touched the ground and started to dig create tunnels inside the ground. Soon the ground started to vibrate and a long windingwork of tunnels formed around an area of the mines. Hercules spoke as he wiped off his sweat, "Boss, You guys back off a little. It will be loud and shaky."


    You Xi Wang nodded and retreated fifty meters with the rest of the crowd. Neo exhaled heavily and willed the tunnels to change. He shifted the whole tunnel itself.


    <strong>BOOM BOOM BOOM...</strong>


    A series of explosions sounded not far from him. Only then did he retreat with Hercules and Ihi. They dug the tunnels in such a manner that they would copse from the shockwaves and that is what happened. Awork of trenches appeared in the rocky in. What they counted on was not their strength but the rocky in''s ability to restore its form.


    When the trenches moved to regain their original form again, the moment will cause tremors, and Tada those shockwaves will cause a chain reaction in the mines. This strategy was simple and effective. Just as Neo, Hercules, and Ihi regrouped with the team, the rocky in moved and tremors originated from the movement. What followed the tremors were explosions. The chain of stssted for 20 minutes and the rocky substance where the explosions took ce were charred and the carbonized rock was unable to regain its original form.


    Some of the explosions were as deep as a hundred meters beneath the surface. Physics 101, more pressure equals more impact. Those explosions made chunks as big as a human fly up in the sky andnd back on the terrain. Those chunks would be used by Hercules and Neo as obstructions in the phasor beams. Although it won''t make any significant difference, even a blink is enough to save a life at a critical movement. These chunks won''t be used as a cover directly, because the phasor beam would just pass-through as if a hot knife through butter.


    When they were discussing, Hercules proposed to use these chunks as projectiles thrown at the canons. His idea may sound like a pure muscle for brain thing but it was applicable and practical. The objective was to disrupt the aim of the canon. Neo and Hercules were two strong people, they can easily throw an average human to a distance of 2 km. They were cultivators after all. Plus they came with the boost of the earth element.


    You Xi Wang took out a helmet from his space ring and wore it over his head. He spoke to his sister, "Wait for me to shut down the guns before youe chasing behind me. Okay?"


    You Zhichi promised. Yuki and the others cheered as You Xi Wang turned and walked through the messy 500-meter former minefield.


    An spoke, "I wonder how long would it take him to do this." this casual remark set off another wave of gambling.


    You Zhichi spoke, "I wonder if he could pull off something like his dance of the war god."


    The Elven guard stood beside them looking at the scene with a numb scalp. They wanted to shout, ''What Dance of the War God, this fucker is a monster from hell.''


    ''You bitches dare to bet on something like this. Do you look down on the high elves technology. You Boody Country Bumpkins.''


    ...


    Two hundred meters away You Xi Wang strolled as if it was his backyard. The system spoke, [The elven guards are looking down on us.]

 Chapter 187: War God Charge.

    Chapter 187: War God Charge.


    You Xi Wang ignored what the people behind him talked about or thought. He came and stood at the edge of the firing range of the phasor canons. He spoke in his mind, ''This is it. One step forward and the canons will fire.''


    The system spoke, [Yes, these things are already locked onto you. It seems they can locate the target from a distance further than 2 kilometres.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, ''Indeed, but this is good at least we know that the scouting visor is working. If I charge using azure dragon steps, the detection system might get confused. What do you think?''


    The system spoke, [Every martial art has threeyers, minor aplishment, a major aplishment, And Mastery. Your azure dragon step is stuck in minor aplishment. It won''t be able to help you rush unscathed through this firing range. Though we can use muscle enhancement to increase the chances it won''t make much of a difference.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Well, first let''s cast the stealth arrays. Maya''s illusion spell will be useful in emergencies and inside the fort. These arrays are just experiments."


    The system agreed with this point. He was in charge of regting the spirit energy channel through out the array on the battle suit as You Xi Wang focused on running through the firing range. he could not afford to distract himself from dodging the iing phasor beams.


    You Xi Wang exhaled heavily and his battle suit faded in the surrounding atmosphere. This was the hybrid concealment array he applied on his suit. This array refracted the light surrounding him at such an angel that it looked as if he was invisible. You Xi Wang named it chameleon concealment array.


    The Elven guards on the team eximed, "Whoa, when did we developed this technology?"


    General Miles on his side sighed and spoke, "It is not ours. Sir You Xi Wang himself invented this technology."


    The human team members gave them a weird nce and Fenny spoke, "Yo, General, this technology is not something baby Wang invented. He just improved it. This ''technology'' is called arrays in the human world. You Xi Wang is one of the youngest geniuses in our side."


    The team members all nodded and started boasting the achievements of You Xi Wang in the human world. The more the Elven people heard the more they thought it was all fake. One of the Elven guards snorted, "The canon''s can detect the temperature. They are equipped with thermal and infrared sensors. Let''s see how far can he go?"


    Hercules snorted, "Let''s bet on your hover board and phasor gun. If I lost, you can have my jade brawler gloves. What say?"


    The elf sneered, he has taken a fancy to the jade brawling gloves ever since he saw Hercules fighting with them on. He also wanted to look valiant and use hand to handbat. He agreed happily.


    ...


    On the firing range, the system spoke, [The sensors are on the canons are not the way we thought they are. They all have varying ranges. The thermal sensor will activate two hundred meters ahead. It is safe to walk through here.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and started walking through the firing range. The people behind him all watched all of his moments with the thermal screens. They felt surprised when You Xi Wang walked through with ease. After two hundred meters You Xi Wang spoke, "Initiate the cooling array."


    The system replied, [Array Initiated.] the tone was simr to that of a robot. The array started working and the temperature of the suit dropped matching that of the surroundings. You Xi Wang circted his ice attributed spirit energy. His own body cooled down to match the temperature of the suit.


    His thermal image that the other people were watching vanishedpletely. Everyone except Fenny and You Zhichi was surprised. Fenny spoke with a gloating tone, "Temperature control array, adaptation sequence 3. Sensing and matching the temperature of the surroundings. Complete temperature stealth."


    The elf guard was shocked to hear this. It was true that this array could provide one a total temperature simrity with the surroundings. Although the battle suit did not leak any temperature but a simr temperature inside the body make it smoother and enhance the performance of the array. This was something many people overlooked. This array would not sense only the external temperature but also the internal temperature of the suit.


    The system spoke, [200 meters, S ss motion sensing system. Even if it is an ant, it will be sensed by the sensors and shot down.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and walked through thest boundary. He tapped on his waist and took out a 10 inch long baton in his hand. This baton was stored in the space array behind his waist. This baton was somewhat like a light saber. A high density phasor beam can deflect another phasor beam. You Xi Wang was going to use this to deflect the iing beams.


    The system spoke, [Okay, here we go. One, Two, Three.]


    Just as the system dropped the words, You Xi Wang swung the baton in his hand and a beam of light extended from one end. The phasor beam formed and shed with an iing phasor beam. The attack did not emit any sound at all.


    <strong>ZENG...</strong>


    The beams buzzed as they collided. You Xi Wang did not waste anytime and started to use his azure dragon steps and run through the field in an irregr pattern. Sometime he would run left, sometimes right. Sometimes he would retreat sometimes he would beeline. He deflected iing phasor beams with every step he took. You Xi Wang crossed a distance of 500 meters like this.


    The people on the sidelines hadplicated emotions when they saw this situation. The Elven guards felt ashamed while the humans felt prideful. But their emotions froze when they saw a queue of canons popping out of the ground. They did not even had the tie to yell at You Xi Wang to be careful when the ground canons started firing.


    You Xi Wang had the system on stand by and as soon as the canons popped out of the ground he was notified. The system could not help him with deflecting these phasor beams. He could only take possession of the body when You Xi Wang is unconscious. You Xi Wang''s left hand shed and he took out another baton from another space array from the back of his waist.


    His left hand worked the same as his right hand. He ambidextrously swung the light sabers in his hands to deflect the iing phasor beams from all the sides. You Xi Wang did not stop moving forward. He kept charging forward in an irregr pattern. After another thirty minutes he had crossed half of the firing range. The people on the sidelines heaved a sigh of relief, but this relief alsosted a short while.


    Another obstacle came across in front of him at the moment he stepped through the second half of the firing range. Behind him the ground was now nothing short of a sieve. The small canons on the wall also started to fire at this moment, the amount and density of the phasor beams increased by a minimum of a ten times. His friends felt their heart jumping out of their mouths. You Zhichi almost ran up to help her brother.


    You Xi Wang''s light saber changed shapes and from the non-lit end another phasor beam erupted. It was now a two headed light saber. Not one but both of his light sabers changed shaped. He freely used them as if they were an extension of his own body. The buzzing sounds never stopped. The barrage from the phasor canons and the spirit canons slowed down You Xi Wang a lot.


    It took him an hour to get past the 1.5 kilometre mark. His fore head was covered with sweat and his body was feeling slightly sluggish. If anyone lifted up his visor then they would find his eyes bleeding. They were bleeding because of the constant exposure to the phasor beams. You Xi Wang spoke to Neo through his headset.


    "Neo, you bitch. Stop being dazed and throw those rocks. I will be a fennel if you bastards did not act now." his voice was hoarse and he literally roared in the mouth piece.


    Neo who stood dazed behind him came back to his senses and hurriedly ran up to the rocks and started to throw them at the canons. Hercules also started to throw the rocks to help him cover You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang did not feel much difference even after the two people disrupted the flow. He had only been able to cross three meter distance from the past half an hour. The system spoke, [The arrays, might stop working, if you do not move quickly.]


    You Xi Wang spat a mouthful of blood on the ground as he kept swinging his light sabers. The rocks thrown by Neo and Hercules cast shadows on the ground giving him a very good opportunity. He immediately used the spiritual skill he shared with Maya, the shadow skip. This skill decreased a lot of burden on him. His figure moved through the shadows and after twenty minutes of shadow skip he reached the boundary of the fort.


    He did not waste anytime and used a w like tool to climb up the wall. He was not sure whether the High Elves applied any other means of defense on the wall so He climbed in an irregr pattern. You Xi Wang''s battle suit had a lot of mini suction cups over the surface. So his climb was rtively very easy. The high elves were confident in their defensive capabilities and did not apply any other means on the walls of the fort.


    You Xi Wang climbed the wall and stood on the top. This was the moment when his arrays started to fail one by one and revealed his bloody figure to everyone. He had no less than five holes in his body and they were all bleeding profusely. His visor was filled with cracks, his hands were shaking numb. The light sabers were flickering and his palms were also bleeding.


    The Elven guard watched all this on a screen and spoke, "he did not stop even in such a condition. Is he a god of war charging through the enemy army? How is he so strong?"

 Chapter 188: Infiltration Begins.

    Chapter 188: Infiltration Begins.


    The people on the ground had mixed emotions as they watched You XI Wang''s bloody and slightly pale body standing on the wall of the fort. Hercules spoke out of astonishment, "Could the captain be an incarnation of the actual war god?"


    Yuki shook her head and her eyes seemed to be a little watery. If not because she wanted to stay strong. Tears would have already started to rain down from her eyes. You Zhichi was also the same as her. Snow and Fenny looked calm on the surface but they both were silently cursing You Xi Wang for his present condition. The men in the team were totally different. Their respect for the captain increased a hundred folds.


    They wanted to charge ahead when You Xi Wang spoke, "Maya, tell them all to be on stand by. I will find a way to shut down these canons." as decided earlier the wolves were to help themmunicate inside the fort, in case the defense system had any sort of external interference. Being extremely cautious he did not use his mouth to ry his thoughts to Maya, but only mental messages to prevent the defense system surveince from interesting theirmunication.


    Maya delivered the message as asked. The next thing You Xi Wang wanted to do was to apply first aid to his bleeding wounds but how could the security system be so easy on him. The moment he stepped down from the walls of the fort andnded inside. The whole fort started to echo with a hooting sound. You Xi Wang gave up the idea to apply first aid and he started running towards the central area of the fort.


    You Xi Wang was located in a corridor connecting the pantry and staff room. The distance between the two was 50 meters. The fort was designed in such a way that the rooms all had only one exit and entrance. You Xi Wang was aware that the battle bots released from the central area will soon be over him. So he jumped up snatched the camera and used a mini-tablet to upload a virus program he wrote on his data storage cube.


    The virus program was a hybrid he designed using the codingnguages on earth and Metropia. If this virus was deployed on earth then in one hour it could send the entire world back to the stone age. Metropia might be able to counter it back after some time given how advanced their technology is but he was not very optimistic about the virus affecting the Elven system. This was a risk. If it did not work then he will have no choice but to go berserk.


    The mini-tablet had a needle-like data transmission cable attached to it. The data storage cube was needed to be ced on top of the tablet to start the transmission. The system spoke just the moment You Xi Wang finished the setup.


    [This shit is ten times moreplicated than LUCY. Fuck the gibberishnguage of Elves. Why can''t they just write the same way they speak?]


    You Xi Wang spoke, "The reason why we can understand them is because of the jade given to us by the council. The previous explorers may havee here and invented these jades as the mode of trantion."


    [Okay the data is uploaded and it will take at least five minutes for the virus to start working but the battle bot contingent is moving very fast. They will be here in 3 minutes. Given their numbers it will be difficult for us to handle them.]


    You Xi Wang stood there, lost in thought. After ten seconds he spoke, ''How about we hijack the canons and turned them inside?''


    The system spoke, [The wholeb will turn into a ruin. Do you want to use this method?]


    You Xi Wang spoke, ''We can change the angel of the canons to lessen the range of fire also semi-automatic canons would be able to deal with the battle bots easily.''


    The system spoke, [If you try to control them manually then you will need to ask the others to man the guns when they are turned inside.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, ''Let''s do this. We don''t have much time on our hands.''


    He was not aware of how they will take over the guns. So the system guided him. Beneath the phasor canons lied a metallic square te. This te covered the power source and the independent firing system. The firing system was a ss box connected to the canon with cables. You Xi Wang did not waste time in being neat and clean. He took out a dagger and shed the wires clean. He quickened his pace and repeated the same thing to all the canons except for one.


    He stood behind a spirit canon and aimed at the canons that popped up from the ground. He has suffered from the vicious barrage of these canons and did not want his teammates to go through the same thing. He pressed the touch-sensitive trigger and the spirit canon spat a long beam of white light. The boy behind the canon did not pay any mind to sophistication, a white light beam erupted from the spirit canon''s mouth bombarding the targetted canons.


    <strong>BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...</strong>


    You Xi Wang efficiently destroyed the canons. He then spoke to Maya with the mental sense, "Call them all over. They need to be quick."


    Maya, who was hiding inside his shadow acted fast and called over the team waiting for them all at the edge of the firing zone.


    Yuki acted as a ry and conveyed the message to You Zhichi. In any other situation, You Zhichi would have rushed to her brother''s side in an instant but right now she was the vice-captain of the team. She spoke, "Everyone, Let''s go. The captain is waiting for us at the walls. We all will mount one canon each and battle it out with the battle bots. We don''t know how much the enemy''s strength is so while fighting use your energy wisely. On the run be vignt, who knows what more traps are there. Let''s go."


    At this moment she was not the heavenly maiden or the celestial saintess. She was an awe aspiring war general. The team''s morale soared up and they all started running with You Zhichi in a wing formation on both sides. They did not dare to lower down their vignce even for a little bit. The journey You Xi Wangpleted in 2 hours and painstaking efforts. These people took only 20 minutes.


    They all were expecting to meet the captain on the fort wall, but when they reached the top they heard constant clinking sounds. The team suddenly became anxious. They did not know that You Xi Wang was facing the swarm of the battle bots on his own in closebat. His single canon would not have made any impact on the swarm. The virus he nted inside the system through the camera line was also working and the surveince of the fort was down.


    At this moment You Xi Wang was dancing amidst the swarm of battle bots with a golden spear in his hand. The spear was unstoppable and dominating. You Xi Wang unleashed all the spear intent while fighting. He did not dare to rx at all.


    In front of You Xi Wang, a metallic robot stood with a spear in his hand, The two people shed and another battle bot attacked You Xi Wang from behind and side. These battle bots held swords in their hands and their aim was You Xi Wang''s ribcage. He was trapped. Just when he was prepared to engage in mutual destruction, A ray of white light was spat out by the canon, and in a fraction of a second, two more rays shed and the battle bots targetted by these rays were melted right where they were touched.


    The robots froze in their ces and fell down after a few moments. These robots had terrifying battle prowess, in the past twenty minutes You Xi Wang was able to kill only 3 battle bots. There were two reasons behind this. First, he needed to hold his grounds for his team to arrive, second these robots required him to use his five elemental energy which was his secret. He won''t use it until he is very desperate.


    You Zhichi shouted, "Good shot, let''s keep it up."


    The team replied, "<strong>YES, VICE CAPTAIN.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang grasped the opportunity to regroup. He was wounded and needed to rest. He spoke to his sister, "Give me 15 minutes. I will leave for the core area to shut down these battle bots. They can only be stopped from there. The high elves created an army of these things."


    You Zhichi nodded and yelled at An, <strong>"MEDIC"</strong>


    An came to You Xi Wang''s side and took out some herbal paste and applied it to You Xi Wang''s wound. He spoke, "This paste was courtesy of the Elven people. Rest well it will heal quickly." after that said he went back to his post to face the battle bots. Yuki, Snow, Lena, Fenny, and You Zhichi would look at the boy sitting next to them with pride.

 Chapter 189: THE FALLEN KING.

    Chapter 189: THE FALLEN KING.


    You Xi Wangid down as his team used the phasor canons and spirit canons to destroy the battle bot swarm. The sheer number of bots made them numb. They had lost count of how many bots they have put down by now. The seemingly invincible phasor canons were heating up from the number of beams they have discharged.


    It has only been ten minutes when five spirit canons in the middle part of the assault group had shut down from excessive heating. Fortunately, there were other spirit canons that were not used earlier by them and can be used as an alternative. Yet the number of unused canons was half of that of the used ones. The pressure increased on the team.


    You Xi Wang instructed from the side, "Neo and Hercules. You two go and engage in hand to handbat. Don''t go for the kill but just push these tin cans away from the firing line. Give them time to handle them." he was keeping a stern watch over the development of the situation from his resting spot.


    His words were never to be questioned and as soon as he instructed the team. The brawling duo nodded and jumped in to fight the robots in close quarters. Fenny was acting as a guide to the firing squad. She could not take control of a gun herself until and unless it is a dire state. She guided the blunt weapon squad to shoot in the targeted area with a smallser pen in her hand.


    She was targeting the areas where the bots would get concentrated. The ground was littered with at least 500 battle bots. Under the constant guidance of Fenny and You Xi Wang, the pressure eased a lot. Neo and Hercules switched with other blunt weapon users for hand-to-handbat. The twenty minutes resting period set by You Xi Wang passed away in a blink. The hole wounds on his body had stopped bleeding. He stood up and spoke to You Zhichi, "Big sis, time is up. I will be rushing to the core region to shut down the defense system. We will stay in touch via Maya and her siblings."


    You Zhichi faintly smiled and nodded. She spoke, "Just take care of yourself."


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow at this and spoke, "Hoho, someone learned to conceal her emotions. Chichi, if you don''t express your worries you will be an old hag even faster."


    You Zhichi wanted to grab hold of his ear but the situation did not allow her. You Xi Wang turned towards Fenny and spoke, "Bro, you are inmand."


    Fenny gave him a stink eye and said, "I know that already. Leave now."


    You Xi Wang greeted everyone and told them to stay calm and rushed towards the core region. The first obstacle faced by him was the field surging with battle bots. He exhaled heavily and took out a golden spear in his right hand and a sword in his left hand. The ck sword and the golden spear both had contradictory nature and produced violent pressure. Since You Xi Wang mastered the weapons he was not affected by the pressures. Neither did the weapons fought with each other. They seemed to bnce each other out.


    The golden spear had a golden dragon carved along its shaft and the spearhead looked like it wasing out of the dragon''s open mouth. While the sword had a shining ck de. A ckbird was engraved over it. It looked so alive as if it was fluttering its songs. It was the dark phoenix, the fluttering wing effect was created because the spirit of the weapon was unlocked. The sword was trembling as soon as You Xi Wang unsheathed it.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Purgatory, you can now y to your heart''s content." by the time his words ended ck smoke wisps were emitting from the de. You Xi Wang smiled and shed his sword at the swarm of the robots. A ck arc formed along with the trajectory of his sh. The arc flew and cut down the robots like a hot knife through butter. he took down at least ten robots in a sh.


    He felt the spear in his right hand trembled. He smiled and spoke, "Master did give me a spirit weapon. I have not named you till now. Let''s call you divine thorn." as soon as he named the spear, the trembling intensified. You Xi Wang stabbed the spear and a ray of golden light through the robots. It was as if a bullet was fired through cotton pads. Ten robots with holes in their foreheads fell down.


    The team on mounting the spirit canons were now numb with the battle capacity of this boy. Although the robots are as strong as a primal soul realm, it was only their physique. Thanks to the spirit canons, the robots were not allowed to disy their full potential. Otherwise, this scene would have beenpletely different. Hercules spoke, "Do we still need to fight these robots at a close range? The captain is such a war machine himself I feel like we are not needed."


    Neo nodded and spoke, "This monster, he hasn''t even used his gunnery skills, hand to handbat or assassination techniques."


    Yuki spoke, "Do you people know, he also learned Hunter ss attacks?"


    The others turned to look at her with wide eyes. Then An spoke, "Big sis Zhichi, when did Xiao Wang be such a monster?"


    You Zhichi was about to speak when an Elven guard using a gun eximed, "You can use a whip in such a way?"


    His loud voice attracted all the teammates. During their brief conversation, You Xi Wang had alreadypleted a one-third distance from the ground. His sword was moving on its own because of the dark phoenix spirit. His right hand was stabbing the golden spear constantly. His left hand which was holding a sword earlier was now holding a whip. The whip had a dagger tied to its front. You Xi Wang swayed the whip and the dagger at the end cut through any robots that came in contact.


    To most people whip was just a tool of punishment. They never imagined such a manner to use the whip in livebat. You Zhichi shook her head and spoke, "You ask me but I ask whom? Ever since he woke up from thema. He has changed. Sometimes, I even feel that he is not y brother but someone else possessing his body. But when he looks at me with warm eyes. I think he is better than my brother. It may sound absurd but I don''t mind having him rece the older gougou." The four phantoms nodded subconsciously. Earlier they were very tight before but their rtionship had grown even stronger after You Xi Wang woke up from thema.


    On the field, You Xi Wang wreaked havoc. He did not know when he entered the corridor leading to the core area. The entireb had only one corridor connecting throughout. This security measure was a double-edged sword but how could the arrogant High elves predict the future. You Xi Wang took advantage of this and moved forward while he slew the robots. His forehead was now covered with sweat. The corridor was a tight space and he could not use the whip and spear freely.


    Switching his weapons and took out two assault rifles while his sword flew around on its own.


    <strong>DA...DA...DA...DA...DA...</strong>


    The gunshots rang out throughout the corridor followed by the metallic collision of the falling robots. It took You Xi Wang three hours to reach a roombeled as the central control room in Elvennguage. You Xi Wang patted the space array on his waist to take out the scouting bead developed by Fenny. But he found out that his supplies have been emptied. After the first ten minutes inside the winding corridor, the robots attacked him sparsely. For the sake of safety and vignce, he tossed scouting beads on every turn till he reached the central control room.


    The beads were meant to be used only one time. The beads when tossed out would roll on the ground recording a video, thermal scans of the walls, infrared scans of the empty space. But the moment they stopped rolling the battery will turn empty. To ensure that the beads are not picked up by anyone else to counter use the internal circuit chip will self-destruct.


    You Xi Wang pondered and the system spoke, [Take out your ballers, I used the soul sense to check the inside. The centralputer is located inside but I also sensed someone else. This thing seems to be an Elf and it is trapped in some sort of restriction array. Be very careful, I cannot see through this person''s power.]


    You Xi Wang was surprised to learn that there was someone locked inside he did not dare to be careless. The system could not sense this person''s power which meant this person was not an easy one. He spoke to Maya through his mental sense, "Tell everyone, be ready to crush the jade. We have an unexpected situation at our hands."


    Maya immediately did as asked. She then spoke, "Brother Xi Wang, I have ryed the message. My instincts are screaming that we should not enter this room. It is a very bad feeling."


    You Xi Wang''s degree of vignce went up by another level. He stroked Maya''s fur and spoke, "Treasure and trouble, alwayse together Maya. Be strong. Let''s take a peek at the situation, we will leave as soon as I sense something bad. You hide inside the shadow."


    Maya nodded and disappeared into his shadow. You Xi Wang took out the hard ballers from his waist in his hands. He aimed both of them at the door. In front of him, three ice des also formed, levitating in the air ready to shot at any moment.


    The system manipted the soul sense and turned the doorknob. The arrogance of the high elves was so high that when designing theb they did not put on any locks. At first, it was because they were all mutually developing and it was a gesture of trust. Later, they grew so strong that they did not feel the need for locks.


    <em>CLICK!</em>


    <em></em>The door opened and before You Xi Wang could even enter the room. He froze. In front of him was a warning board written in Elven text, which said, {<em><strong>DO NOT AWAKEN THE FALLEN KING OF HIGH ELVES. IT WILL END EVERYTHING.</strong></em>}

 Chapter 190: Purified Easily.

    Chapter 190: Purified Easily.


    You Xi Wang stood in front of the warning signboard. The words written on the board carried a vibe that made people believe them. You Xi Wang did not enter the room instantly but he told all his friends about the unexpected turn of events. The system spoke, [This whole thing feels a little weird.]


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow and asked, "How?"


    The system replied, [If I had a demon imprisoned then I would seal it in the dungeon and not the central control room.]


    You Xi Wang pondered over this and found the exnation carrying a little logic behind it. He exhaled heavily and spoke, ''Let''s go inside and see, what is the mystery of the Fallen High Elf King.''


    The guns in his hands had always stayed in the same position. He raised his step and stepped inside the door. He carefully moved through without touching the warning board. The vignt boy searched around and found a big cylindrical ss container standing in the center of the room. What shocked him was not the container but what it contained.


    Inside the container, a naked figure was submerged with some sort of liquid. This figure was a male from the anatomy. You Xi Wang guessed that this person was the High Elf King mentioned in the warning signs. The system spoke, [It is a living entity. Another news. This thing is not natural.]


    You Xi Wang was startled, he asked, ''You mean it is man-made.''


    The system hummed in affirmation, with the skill to be able to scan theposition of almost anything and everything. It was a piece of cake to determine whether the thing inside the ss container was a natural entity or artificial.


    You Xi Wang spoke, ''Earlier you said that you cannot estimate the strength of this creature. Can you do it now?''


    The system spoke, [It is not necessary now. This creature is only half alive. To be precise, it is creating a body for itself. The process is very long and still undergoing.]


    You Xi Wang felt his brain was flooded with water and he was going insane. These facts that the system presented to him were all very surprising and shocking. How do you exin what he just found out. He did not waste time and spoke to Maya out loud, "Call over the Elven elders. I want to see how they react to this shit."


    Maya appeared beside him in a blink and conveyed the message to the rest waiting outside. She suddenly nced at the ss container and spoke, "Brother Xi Wang, this thing is extracting the spirit energy from the surroundings."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "I am aware of this. His body seems to beposed of all the impurities in the spirit energy. The rest of the spirit energy is discarded." he paused and looked at the structure of the ss container. He spoke again, "The discarded spirit energy is gathered under theb. The umtion over the years had made a spirit energyke beneath this ce."


    Maya nodded like a human being. Just as they waited for the other to lead the elf leaders You Xi Wang and the system searched through theb. You Xi Wang was studying the main console. The system located the defense control and asked, [I found the defense control panel.] it was about to put down all the defenses when You Xi Wang spoke.


    "Switch the control to manual. Don''t put it downpletely." his voice was solemn. You Xi Wang spotted a manual lying on the administrative console. He gently picked it up. Let alone him even the system was astonished and eximed, [A real book?]


    You Xi Wang nodded and opened the book after caressing the cover. The first page read. {<em>This book is the belonging of the 30th High Elf King.</em>}


    You Xi Wang was surprised but he still turned the page. The second page described the origin of the king and how he started on the road to tech advancement followed by the early inventions. As the book continued the content became darker. Then after the first half, a diary entry about the elven council was made. It described the way the rest of the ns proposed the ban on technology advancement.


    You Xi Wang kept reading and found out that the rocky in would have worked its way it should but the King did not listen to them and made another world-shaking proposal. They developed the rocky in as per the proposal but when they all deployed it, the then crown prince was also researching how to strengthen the Elven bodies. He came up with the idea ofpressing and collecting the impurities in the spirit energy to re-create a body for himself. The KIng was shocked to hear what his son proposed and rejected it without any hesitation. But who was to know that the crown prince would modify and connect a spirit liquidpressor and reverse engineer the machine for his use.


    He modified the machine in such a way that it would help him extract the impurities in the surrounding spirit energy while dumping the pure spirit liquid underground. This was done by two motives. One was to strengthen himself and dumping was to stop others from growing stronger. The king wrote at the end that the way to stop this creature from waking up he changed the rocky in structure to slow down the absorption of the spirit energy. The high elves regretted their deeds and theymitted suicide. The King wrote thest line in the book.


    {<em>To those who find this manual, The high elves regret their actions forever. I, as a King am a failure and as a father, I am not much different. To finish this cursed thingpletely. You need to purify this body. It would take him at least a thousand years to wake up. Please hurry.</em>}


    You Xi Wang sighed as he closed the book. A clear voice sounded behind him, "Xi Wang, what is going on?"


    The voice startled the boy rather than make him rx. You Xi Wang reflexively raised his gun and retreated. The other people were surprised to see his exaggerated reaction. The boy found that it was Yuki who just spoke to him. He sighed and spoke, "I did not sense you alling over and your voice startled me."


    Yuki smiled and shook her head. She wanted to say something but the next moment her smile froze and her whole body shuddered. Her eyes were fixed to the ss container behind You Xi Wang. The rest of the people had a simr expression on their faces. The Elven leaders were also staring in disbelief.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Yes, you are not dreaming. This thing is actually a body created by the High Elf crown prince in order to be stronger. This person was so cracked in his brains that he only preserved his consciousness and destroyed his original body before creating this one. At this moment he has created 75% of the body. He is missing, a heart, veins, lungs, and the brain except for the cerebrum cortex which carries his consciousness. The reason why he is alive is that he is extracting the impurities in the spirit energy as a source of his energy. What I was reading just now happened to be a manual left by the former king of the High Elves."


    Ilex, the queen of forest elves spoke, "Sir You Xi Wang, please tell us what did the manual say? Do they have a method to stop this thing from waking up? If it woke up then our world will end."


    The Dark Elf Loli also spoke up, "Yes, Sir You Xi Wang, please help us."


    You Xi Wang waved his hand and said, "I can solve this thing so don''t worry. Besides, it was the deal between us."


    He turned to face the ss container and shook his head with a sigh. You Zhichi came to his side and asked, "What is it?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I thought it would be harder." everyone in the team dedicated an eye roll to him. You Xi Wang circled the ss container and found an inlet valve. He controlled his spirit energy andbined them into golden spirit energy wisps. The wisps entered the inlet valve. Under You Xi Wang''s control, the wisps did not disperse and entered the ss container. The figure inside the ss container shuddered. You Xi Wang noticed this and smiled slyly.


    "Hehe... sensed your doom?"


    The body inside started trembling more and more. The golden wisps were the natural enemy to impurities. They sensed that the body was impure and under the watchful eyes of the people inside theb the golden wispstched to the figure. They entered through the pores and started to corrode the body slowly.


    The High Elf Prince''s impure body opened its eyes. The people inside theb immediately took out their weapons. A hateful hoarse voice rang out through theb.


    "<strong>WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHO ARE YOU?</strong>"


    You Xi Wang spoke with a faint smile on his face, "Your death, Your Highness, the fallen king of High Elves." he controlled the wisps with his mind and the corrosion speed started to increase. The crown prince''s body started screaming but in the end, it turned to nothing but ash. The only thing left from the body was a piece of the brain. You Xi Wang spoke to Ilex, "You can handle this chunk of meat, right?"


    The queen of elves nodded and spoke, "Rest assured. We will do it the right way."


    With that, the infiltration of the fort came to an end. Now You Xi Wang and the others focused on locating the spiritke.

 Chapter 191: Viva La Revolucion.

    Chapter 191: Viva La Revolucion.


    Just as the people in You Xi Wang''s team were getting excited. Theputer system in theb rang a hooting sound. Everyone immediately turned vignt. The Dark Elf Loli nced at the screen and smiled. She spoke, "Don''t worry everyone, the system has detected the forced changes made to its code. It is now repairing itself."


    Her immature voice calmed down the team. You Xi Wang kept his eyes locked on the system code. If he found anything wrong with the reboot then he will make sure to destroy theputer thoroughly. Fortunately, his worries were unfounded and the rm subsided after a few moments. Theputer screen was shing with Elven codes constantly. There were two significant faults discovered in the system administrative code. One was the change made by the High Elf Prince, to channel all the impurities inside the ss container while dumping the clean spirit energy underground. The second was You Xi Wang''s spike virus which rendered the whole surveince useless.


    The only reason why the system did not rectify the spike virus was that it was under the control of the Elven prince. That half-dead prince had a consciousness so strong that he was still in control of the system. Though, coincidently the moment these people raided the fortb. He was focused on his heart construction. Once the heart was constructed the nerves would be developed and the rest will get easier. But how was he to know that You Xi Wang and the others would choose the same day to barge in?


    It could be said that fate yed a good hand to You Xi Wang otherwise, the half-dead prince was as strong as his master, capable of killing them all with a snap of his fingers. Then again luck is also a part of your strength. So, You Xi Wang won this round with a clean knockout. The Elven leaders discussed how to deal with the chunk of brain matter from the fallen prince. Unanimously they came to a decision of destroying it thoroughly.


    You Xi Wang who was listening to their talk nodded. He left this thing for them to deal with because he was not sure whether these people would use him of destroying a research specimen. But the Elven Council''s decision made him feel relieved. At least this thing won''t be given a chance of retribution by possessing someone else and kick-starting the cycle of destruction once again. As the Elves regained theputer system and modified the working schematic of the rocky in, a guard rushed in the room and excitedly spoke, "My queen, general, Minister, outside... outside grass des are sprouting."


    General Miles frowned at this soldier''s behavior and spoke, "Sergeant, behave yourself. Did you forget how to speak normally?" his stern tone made the sergeant calm down.


    The sergeant took a deep breath and spoke, "Reporting to the general, a high amount of spirit grass is sprouting over the rocky in at a rapid rate."


    The general nodded and a faint smile surfaced on his lips. Ilex and the dark elf loli were the same. They finally were relieved to hear this news. For hundreds of years, their world has been dealing with this problem. It was not that they did not have ideas and strategies like You Xi Wang. But after 180 hours of rocky in''s deployment, the spirit energy in the area dropped to a surprising level. The high elves were under the order of their king and they said they will find a solution. But the high elf king was forced by his son. Only when the High Elf King saw his son destroying his body did he confess his deeds to the others in the race. Bearing the shame of his unrestrained love for his son which caused the downfall of the race hemitted suicide.


    The High Elf n was aggrieved with this and after they all could not find a solution to their mistake they allmitted mass suicide. They fed themselves poison. It was a very sad day for the Elfheim. Today the disaster finally came to an enclosure. You Xi Wang, due to his luck, became the protagonist.


    The system spoke, [Damn, I just realized, we are the clowns holding the ace card.]


    You Xi Wang spoke with a chuckle, ''I knew this fact from the moment I woke up in this world.'' indeed, he was just a depressed dunce who used to me himself for everything wrong. Then one day he woke up in You Xi Wang''s body in Silica City hospital that too with a system.


    The system understood his sentiment, for a change, did not act smug. Instead, it spoke, [Find the way to the spiritke. It''s time to count the gains. I would prefer if you could reach the Primal Soul Realm before the survival test ends.]


    You Xi Wang pondered and nodded and then he suddenly chuckled, ''This is more of a liberation campaign than a survival trial.''


    The system spoke, [Viva Revolucion.] after a pause both the system and the human startedughing simultaneously. You Xi Wang maintained a poker face on the outside. Yuki came to his side and nudged him slightly. Only then did he turned his attention to her. He smiled at her and asked as he cupped her pretty face in his palms, "What happened my lovely Neko?"


    He would call her Neko, Japanese for a cat, when he is particrly happy. Yuki blushed and spoke with stars in her eyes as if hypnotized, "When we wereing inside theb Big sister Zhichi was approached by a young elf. That guy said he liked You Zhichi and if he can have a chance to pursue her. Big sister refused politely but the young elf is still following her. He stated his identity as the adopted son of General Miles. Big sister did not want to bother you. But I found that guy annoying so I came to you. Do something about this, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang still held her face in his hands with a smile on his face. But the temperature of his body was falling rapidly. He nodded to Yuki and tuned to the direction where the Elven Council was standing overlooking the administration of the technicians.


    He did not go over but spoke in a soft voice, neither too high neither too low as if a child talking to his favorite toy, "General Miles."


    General Miles who was smiling felt a chill down his spine when he heard this voice. Not only him but Ilex was the same. The dark elf loli has never seen the horror of You Xi Wang so she was not much scared. Although she knew General Miles lost his hand to You Xi Wang she did not know the process.


    General Miles immediately turned to face the smiling devil. He knew another nightmare was just around the corner if this devil is not pleased. He walked over to You Xi Wang and asked politely, "Sir You Xi Wang, what can I do for you?"


    You Xi Wang flung his arm around the general''s shoulder and spoke, "No no no... General Miles, I called you over because your adopted son pursued my sister. I don''t mind people pursuing her but if she refuses then one should leave peacefully. One should respect other people''s personal wishes, right?"


    The general kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking on the grains. You Xi Wang continued but his tone changed from mellow to cold, "Call him over, I will teach him."


    The general was immediately scared, his body shivered like a leaf under headwinds. He spoke with a stutter, "Sir, that boy has a little fault in his character, please forgive him. I beg you. He is the future of my n. I will teach him myself. I swear to the holy spirit that I will not be lenient with his discipline. Please forgive him."


    You Xi Wang was skeptical, just as he was about to pursue this matter his sister came up from behind him and spoke, "Gougou, make big things small, and small things smaller." what she said was teaching straight out of their mother''s mouth.


    How could You Xi Wang not follow this doublemand? He pouted and reluctantly said, "OK, fine, you deal with this general miles, but if I find your boy toy or any other Elvesing over and harassing my sister after the refusal. I will directly start killing." his expression was that of a child whose toy was taken away.


    You Zhichi shook her head when she saw this. Obviously, this was all an act to make the Elves fear them a little and stay in line. She then turned to the queen of the elves and spoke, "Your majesty, can we now enter the spiritke. We don''t have the luxury of time on our hands."


    The queen agreed, she was more anxious than them. This was because they all feared You Xi Wang. She asked for her attendants to lead the people underground where the spiritke was formed. She heaved a sigh of relief as the devil star left with his team. The dark elf loli looked at the queen filled with confusion. She couldn''t help but ask, "Why are you all so scared of this guy? I mean he is a strong one but aren''t you guys too exaggerated?"


    Ilex gave her a wry smile and spoke, "General Miles had an idea about Miss You Zhichi, and this guy broke his hand and leg, then he shot the broken hand five times before cutting it off. The technique he used was so dangerous that our technology could not help the general regrow an arm. ording to the reports of the eyewitnesses, who watched him cross the firing range. They described him as a god of war. He rushed through the firing range alone. Now, do you think we should not be scared of this handsome devil. He is a dragon, and his team and family are his reverse scale." she sighed. The dark elf loli stood there like a stone. Ilex shook her head and left to arrange some tasks for the officials in theb.


    Although the higher-ups were scared of You Xi Wang they knew that without his courage and strategy they could not have recovered their world. So, when You Xi Wang came out of the spiritke, he would have a big surprise waiting for him.

 Chapter 192: Seclusion.

    Chapter 192: Seclusion.


    Sasha, the elf who greeted You Xi Wang and the others near the big holographic tree was leading them again. Their destination was the underground spiritke. You Zhichi asked Sasha, "Lady Sasha, can you tell us how the underground reservoir is formed?" her soft voice echoed slightly throughout the passage.


    Sasha who was walking ahead spoke in an equally soft tone, "This passageway actually used to be upied by the roots of our sacred tree. The tree withers after a millennium. The elders that time collected the seed of the sacred tree and they nted it inside the forbidden grounds of the Elves. These underground passageways remained the same after the roots were collected. All the roots of the sacred treebined and gathered together at the end. This end is where the spirit energy was dumped and stored by the Fallen prince. That is where the spirit energy turned into spiritke over the years."


    The team was surprised and they sucked in a cold breath as they heard Sasha''s exnation. Turned out this big tunnel had such a deep origin. They have been walking for more than an hour. Their pace was not slow, nor were they climbing. They could tell that the tunnel was sloping downwards and it seemed to be winding in one direction.


    You Xi Wang walked at the back of the team observing the surroundings. The tunnel ceiling was embedded with night pearls. These night pearls were different from the ones in Metropia. the size was bigger and the light was more intense than the one in metropia. The tunnel walls were all-natural, coarse-textured, grayish appearance. You Xi Wang raised his hand and gently caressed the wall as he walked the trail of the team.


    The system spoke, [If possible, take some of this soil back with yourself. It can help in nurturing the blood shackle tree.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and the team kept walking. After a total of three hours, Sasha stopped in her tracks. In front of the team, a glowing pond emerged. They all sensed the constitution of spirit energy in the air has gone up by several hundred percent. Sasha spoke, "This is the spiritke. You all can use it as you wish."


    She was instructed by the queen to say this. It was a gesture of friendship and a test of heart at the same time for the team. You Xi Wang spoke, "Convey our gratitude to the Elven Council." his tone was nd. Sasha nodded and left to attend to the queen.


    You Xi Wang saw his team engrossed in appreciating the surroundings. From the ceiling of this cave hung countless shiny stgmites. There were a lot of entrances to this ce. The system spoke, [This spiritke is a pond in reality. It is just a bit too big that they called it ake.]


    You Xi Wang curiously asked, "How big?"


    The system replied, [At least 50 gallons of spirit liquid. Mind you one gallon is enough to promote the whole team to the top of the Core Formation realm or initial Primal Soul realm.]


    You Xi Wang sucked in a cold breath. The air he sucked in contained spirit energy and refreshed him thoroughly. He spoke while he addressed the team, "Girls on the left and boys on the right. I will be putting up a partition between the two. Wolves will guard the girls and prevent anyone from peeping. Get inside the pond soak in it and cleanse yourself. The second thing, don''t dare to be greedy. Intake more than your capacity and you will be a blood mist. Do you understand?"


    The team nodded, both genders separated from each other, and waited for You Xi Wang to put up a barrier in between. The boys had ideas obviously but they knew that You Xi Wang will make them shed ayer of skin if they did anything silly so they all became honest. You Xi Wang took out some spirit stones from his space ring and tossed them in the air. This action seemed casual, but if any array master were to witness it, they would have screamed with horror.


    You Xi Wang used the mental array deployment method which was very difficult to learn. You needed a certain degree of control and proficiency in mental power to sessfully use this method. The spirit stones fell inside the pond and soon a white film formed between the spirit pond splitting it into two.


    As the captain, he did not waste any moment and took off his clothes and jumped inside the pond. The rest of the boys followed his example and moved. The girls on the other side were still the better ones. They all elegantly entered the pond and started to cultivate. You Xi Wang had already informed the girls that the barrier did not barge the sound so they all could only be honest and did not tease each other. Otherwise, there might be nose bleeds in the boy camp.


    ...


    You Xi Wang sat inside the pond with his eyes closed and his hands joined together. He was covered with a bright golden glow. This time the intensity of the glow was higher than all the previous times. The liquid spirit energy was washing the body from both inside and the outside simultaneously. The same was happening to the whole team, but they all had different potential, and thus the result would be different.


    ording to You Xi Wang''s instruction as soon as one reached their limit they woulde out of the spirit pond and digest the gains at the bank. You Xi Wang himself onlysted for six hours before he took a break for an hour and then repeated the process again. Whenever he was bored of regr meditation to enhance his cultivation he would start practicing his martial skills, ponder over array skills.


    He cut himself off from the others as he cultivated. Sasha woulde to deliver food thrice in a day but You Xi Wang never ate food, he filled himself with spirit energy. The team all noticed his behavior and felt inspired. They all understood that You Xi Wang was talented because he was hard working. They also started to work hard but their scale of intensity was still not as high as that of the handsome devil.


    Time flew in a blink. The team had spent 6 months in Elven time under the ground. At first, the elven council was worried about the exhaustion of the spiritke but when You Xi Wang told them the math they all calmed down. These people even offered You Xi Wang an extra 2 gallons of liquid spirit energy as a gift. Why would You Xi Wang reject such a good present? He shamelessly epted it. Last night the team of humans received the notification of the Survival tournament ending.


    The rest of the team walked out of the pond and decided to visit the elven city and click some pictures. They wanted to buy some souvenirs to bring back home. Only, You Xi Wang sat at the bank of the spirit pond. In the past six months, he has reached the peak of the core formation realm. His sister has entered the first level of the primal soul realm. Now it was his turn to breakthrough.


    His soul sea was brimming with spirit energy. All that he needed to do was to converge that spirit energy inside his avatar. The avatar will awaken when the energy inside the soul sea converges with him. Later on, the avatar will grow on its own, and You Xi Wang will only have to expand his would sea. This convergence was an act of linking the avatar with the soul sea. This seemingly insignificant process was the most crucial step. If the practitioner was disturbed, he would be a wood stick for like. You Xi Wang had the five wolf beasts guarding him. He also set up three arrays around him including two defense barriers and one killing formation.


    ...


    You Xi Wang''s consciousness was now focused inside his soul sea. He manipted the spirit energy inside the soul sea to transform into a thread and started wrapping the golden thread around his avatar. As the avatar was wrapped a pain channeled through his body. The pain was so sharp that cold sweat beads formed on his head. The system spoke, [Don''t give up. I am here.]


    The system acted decisively and blocked off all the nerves of his body. The system knew that You Xi Wang may be able to handle the pain caused by this convergence and thus followed the current decision. You Xi Wang followed what the system said yet the process was very long and careful. To be careful he needed to be slow. Even after blocking off the receptors. The pain only eased for an amount of time and returnedter. The system tried its best to keep the pain from spreading as You Xi Wang started to wrap the avatar.


    You Xi Wang knew that the road of cultivation was not smooth. Still, he strived forward with noints. He knew that those who die trying are still better than those who just wait for it toe and give them a chance to flee the field.

 Chapter 193: Sudden tribulation.

    Chapter 193: Sudden tribtion.


    You Xi wang sat cross-legged in meditation. His body was dripping wet with sweat. If someone looked close enough then a slight tremble could be detected on his body. You Xi Wang thought as he was immersed in his cultivation that his sister must have faced the same pain and burden while she broke into the Primal Soul Realm. His resolve strengthened after this thought passed through his mind.


    He gritted his teeth and urged the spirit energy to cover his soul avatar and integrate together. The system was busy overlooking the bodily functions as extreme pressure was a double-edged sword. Too much pressure and no matter how strong you are, you will break. The system did not want You Xi Wang''s physique to break that is why it worked at an extremely terrifying rate to constantly divert the pain in You Xi Wang''s body to other ces. The system was micro distributing the pain originating from the soul sea to the whole body on a cellr level.


    This kind of body tempering was unheard of. The system was making You Xi Wang a foundation for a peak entity. The process of breakthrough was only one-fifth down when You Xi Wang integrated his soul avatar with his spirit energy. As a practitioner with five elements, he was needed to integrate all five elements inside his primal soul. The first one to integratepletely was the air element.


    The system spoke at this moment, [Fuck, Houston, we have a problem.]


    You Xi Wang was about to start the second round when he heard this. He stopped and asked with an annoyed tone, "What?"


    The system spoke, [You are the first person under the heavens to have a five elemental primal soul. Why do I feel like you are now an existence against the heavens?]


    You Xi Wang was smart enough to catch the hint. He spoke with surprise, ''Then why did the heaven let me cross the core formation realm? I have five fucking core you know?''


    The system spoke, [How would I know what the heaven(author) thinks? Fuck another chaotic obstacle. Do it fast then we run out from here to face the tribtion.]


    You Xi Wang sighed and then continued to integrate his soul avatar with the spirit energy. The heavens did not retaliate against him as a five-cored, core formation realm practitioner because it was not worth it. There are millions of core formation realm cultivators in metropia, but no matter how many cores you have you cannot beat a primal soul realm cultivator in a real-life and death battle. You Xi Wang had all attribute energy otherwise how was he to be so strong? The opponents he has faced to date all had a single attribute, but who was to guarantee that his victory is assured when he meets a dual attribute cultivator or even a three attributed maniac?


    This world is just as unpredictable as life itself. Who knows there might be other people like him? So, nothing is set in stone the same applies to the heavenly phenomenon. You Xi Wang did not think too deeply and continued to perform his task. The system was also busy on the other side to distribute the pain. The two seemed to have lost the track of time as they were immersed in cultivation.


    The team was all regrouped in the training field and they were all practicing their skills. You Zhichi was sitting down with Yuki and the girls in the team. Yuki spoke to shadow beside her, "Shadow, is there still no news about when he will wake up?"


    The beast wolf shook her head and continued toy down in azy manner. Yuki wanted Shadow to ask Maya about when You Xi Wnag mighte out as their time of departure wasing close. The beasts shared an equal spiritual bond with the humans. If the human is immersed in cultivation then the beast would also follow. So, Maya was also cultivating beside You Xi Wang.


    Thedies resumed basking in the sun leisurely when out of nowhere ck clouds started to surge. Suddenly the four wolves stood up and their ears turned upright.


    Fenny asked anxiously, "Snowie, What happened?" as she stroked Snowkes tender white fur.


    Snowke replied, [Boss, Eldest sister sent a message. They are rushing away from the habitual regions. She said You Xi Wang is about to have a lightning tribtion.]


    Fenny''s hand, which she was using to stroke Snowke''s fur, froze in the air. Her face turned pale. The same thing happened to the others. Neo was practicing with Hercules and he was knocked away by a punch as he froze while sparring. An dropped the gun in his hand. Yuki stood up from the ground in an instant, as if a cat was stepped on her tail.


    You Zhichi noticed this and asked with confusion and doubt, "What happened?"


    Yuki did not say anything just grabbed a hold of her hand and pulled her along with her. After the two came to a distance where the others cannot overhear. She spoke, "Xi Wang... he... he is about to have a heavenly tribtion."


    You Xi Wang would face a tribtion when he had to but this new itself was a heavenly tribtion from You Zhichi. She grabbed Yuki''s hands and asked, "Where is he?"


    Yuki replied with a grimacing face, "Big sis, it hurts." only now did You Zhichi realize that she held Yuki a little too hard. Yuki was only a core formation realm cultivator and with her guard down You Zhichi was capable of hurting her.


    She loosened her grip and asked anxiously, "Yuki, tell me where is my brother. Please." her eyes were brimmed with tears. She was scared. She did not want to lose her brother. Heavenly tribtions were tant and cruel murderers.


    Yuki replied, "100 kilometers, east."


    You Zhichi did not wait for them and quickly flew up the sky. She was now a Primal Soul cultivator. Her speed was faster than the levitation vehicles. The team however were still a step away from the primal soul and can only ask the elven attendants to get them two lev bikes.


    When You Zhichi reached the location she found her brother fixing four big metal rods inside the ground and standing between them. He sensed You Zhichi''s arrival and sighed. He spoke, "Don''t worry, I will make it through. I need to be mentally strong as well and you being like this ain''t really help you know Chichi."


    You Zhichi realized that she was too not herself. She took a deep breath and spoke softly, "How confident?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "85%."


    You Zhichi nodded and calmed down. 85% was a good number. The system spoke inside You Xi Wang''s mind, "Why not tell her that you just gave her the rating of your failure?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "She will lose her shit, and then I will lose mine. Then the heaven will smite us with that lightning. No win. At least now she is calm."


    As he was speaking, the clouds started to rumble. The grey clouds changed color to crimson. You Xi Wang spoke, "Fuck me, crimson grade tribtion. Heaven''s estimate for me is so high?"


    The system spoke, [You know, this is nothing to be happy about?]


    You Xi Wang wanted to say something when he heard Maya speak, "Brother Xi Wang, I will share the burden with you together."


    You Xi Wang squatted down and stroked her fur gently. He smiled as he spoke, "We two might get a darkerplexion after this. Are you ready?"


    The wolf beast nodded her head. All the preparations were done and all they were missing was the heavenly bolts of lightning. Speak of the devil and the devil appeared. A red bolt of lightning as thick as a human arm formed in the air and in a blink it struck towards You Xi Wang.


    <strong>ZENG...</strong>


    The bolt appeared above You Xi Wang even faster than a blink of an eye. The four metal rods in the ground trembled and attracted the electrical energy of the lightning towards themselves. At least half of the force from the heavenly bolt was transferred to the ground turning it scorched by the rods. The remaining hit You Xi Wang like a big truck ran over him. Both he and Maya shared the load, so he only felt slightly numb.


    You Xi Wang grimaced and spoke, "Damn, that thing had so much power."


    Maya also shook her body to relieve the numbness. It was only at this moment that his friends arrived. He spoke in a sonorous voice, "Don''t you guyse over here. It will only get stronger."


    Yuki, who was rushing towards him stopped dead in her tracks. Before she could even wish him to luck the second bolt fell down.


    <strong>ZENG...</strong>


    This bolt was as thick as a human thigh. The power of tribtion will double with every strike. Like 1 will be 2, 2 will be 4, 4 will be 8, and so on. The bolt destroyed the metallic rods and struck You Xi Wang head-on. He forced to kneel down on both his knees as soon as the bolt struck. The impact was as strong as that of being hit by a freight train.


    You Xi Wang looked to his side and saw Maya whimpering. He looked at his close ones at a distance and smiled. He looked up at the sky and spoke, "Come, let''s see who is stronger."

 Chapter 194: Crazy God Of War.

    Chapter 194: Crazy God Of War.


    The skies tremble as if annoyed by You Xi Wang''s cheeky grin. The lightning condensed again. You Xi Wang spoke to the system in his mind, ''Hey slick, in the novels back at the earth. The protagonists seem to be able to temper themselves with the lightning from the heavenly tribtion. Do you think we can do it as well?''


    The system snorted and spoke, [Did your nuts took over your fucking brain? Bitch that is heavenly lightning in the novels. You do remember that I am a part of you, originated from you, right? Or did the shock therapy mad you a lunatic? Fucker concentrate on fighting these bolts or we both will seize to exist.]


    The system replied, [ Seven to go.]


    You Xi Wang shook off the numbness and stood up staggeringly. Maya also followed suit. The third bolt was three different from the first two. In the sky, three crimson red bolts were converging. All as thick as a human thigh. The system spoke, [You bastard keep your mouth shut and don''t make the cmity upgrade. I wille out to fuck you thousand times over. Do you get it?]


    You Xi Wang smiled wryly. He was just excited and taunted heaven which led the tribtion to upgrade.


    <strong>ZENG, ZENG, ZENG...</strong>


    Three bolts formed and fell at You Xi Wang. Maya concentrated and formed twenty ice swords. Not only was the number higher than in the past the size of the ice des was bigger as well. In the past, Maya could manifest Icicle des as big as a dagger but this time it was proper ice swords. She did not hesitate and shot the twenty ice swords. The swords looked fickle in front of the heavenly tribtion, but they were firm.


    Maya had integrated her knowledge of ice elements and sword dao in them. The bolts of lightning collided with the ice swords. All the three bolts slowed down and the twenty swords also started to melt. Just as the swords were about to disperse they erupted.


    <strong>BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...</strong>


    The explosions dispersed the weakened lightning bolts. You Xi Wang raised his brows and spoke, "Maya, you naughty brat. Hiding skills from brother." he squinted his eyes as he nced at Maya. The furred-beauty stuck out her pink tongue. Her expression was that of a human. As the two were chit-chatting the heavenly lightning condensed again.


    ...


    At the side, Yuki, Fenny, Neo, An, and You Zhichi stood watching the progression of the heavenly tribtion with their hearts in their mouths. Beside them stood four wolf beasts. They were all worried without any regard for their origins. You Xi Wang and Maya had a bond of equality. If one suffers from any pain, half of it will be shared by the other person. The samew was applied for the Heavenly tribtion. If they failed then both of them will reduce to a half-dead ordinary human and beast skeleton, if not dead. This was the biggest fear they all had in their hearts at this moment.


    Yuki spoke, "He will be fine right?" her voice was very low as if talking to herself. But at this proximity, all the others could listen to her. They were also cultivators. The others nced at her and red at her. They did not want to hear any unlucky and doubtful things at this moment. Only You Zhichi was watching her brother without blinking her eyes. She did not say anything but her heart was on the verge of copse. If anything happened to her brother how was she to survive? Her brother was her reason to live after her parents passed away. At this moment, if she were allowed, then she would have directly erased the heavens itself for the sake of her brother.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was aware of the tension and stress the others were facing and silently. As he saw the four lightning bolts condense. He asked Maya, "How many times can you use that attack?"


    Maya replied to him mentally, "Two more."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "After two more confrontations you retreat a little okay?"


    Maya was reluctant, but she was aware that after two more shots she will just add to You Xi Wang''s burden by staying here. So she could helplessly nod her head. She focused and started to manifest twenty ice swords again. You Xi Wang took out the star-headed spear from his space ring.


    <strong>ZENG, ZENG, ZENG, ZENG...</strong>


    The four crimson bolts fell towards You Xi Wang. Maya countered first and shot the ice swords at them. You Xi Wang was notzing as well. He covered his spear with all attribute spirit energy and stabbed at the bolts. The all attribute spirit energy was capable of contending with the heavenly lighting as they both had the same origin.


    <strong>BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG...</strong>


    You Xi Wang stabbed the spear four times at the slightly weakened lightning bolts. Although the bolts dispersed You Xi Wang felt his hands were numb and the spearhead was also broken. He could only keep it back inside his space ring and circte the spirit energy in his arms to make them warm.


    The system spoke, [The chances of survival have gone up by five percent.]


    You Xi Wang knew this was a piece of good news but he was not in the mood to smile at all. His gaze was fixed on Maya beside him. He spoke, "You leave now Maya. I will not allow you to burn your heart blood essence to use that attack thest time."


    Maya shrank her neck and looked at You Xi Wang. She was caught red-handed. You Xi Wang sensed through his bond that Maya was about to burn her heart blood essence to cast thest wave of the ice swods. Under You Xi Wang''s hard gaze Maya did not say anything at all and stepped away from You Xi Wang by ten feet.


    <strong>ZENG, ZENG, ZENG , ZENG, ZENG...</strong>


    The fifth installment of immense pain did not even take a blink to condense when it was already over You Xi Wang. You Xi Wang held Purgatory in his right hand. He closed his eyes and his slightly long hair fluttered with the wind. You Xi Wang covered the sword with all attribute spirit energy and used his sword intent. He shed out horizontally. The sword sh took shape in a golden circle around You Xi Wang and shed with all the iing lightning bolts.


    <strong>BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG...</strong>


    A series of explosions rang out and You Xi Wang was thrown back from the aftershocks. His figure was flung off the ground and hended back on his knee. His hands were now filled with many scars. If not for the system to use all attribute spirit energy to cover his body. Then the hands would have burst like a balloon. His battle suit''s sleeves were destroyed. Facing the abnormal power of the heavenly tribtion You Xi Wang took out all the weapons stored inside the suit''s storage arrays and took them all in his space ring.


    He stood up again and nced at the sword in his hand. The dark phoenix seemed to be agitated. You Xi Wang spoke, "Wait, let me first get your brother to wake up."


    The sword emitted a slight sound as if understanding with You Xi Wang. You Xi Wang stabbed the sword inside the ground next to his foot and took out the golden spear from his space ring. The divine thorn shone with a slight glimmer of gold. You Xi Wang did not speak and started swinging the spear. He was performing his dance of the war god. He used his golden spirit energy to create a golden dragon over his head. As You Xi Wang danced the crimson lightning shed and attacked him in a blink.


    <strong>ZENG, ZENG, ZENG, ZENG, ZENG, ZENG...</strong>


    The golden dragon was controlled by You Xi Wang''s spear movement and it rose to the sky to face the oing lightning bolts head-on. The heavenly bolts converted and they formed a crimson dragon.


    ...


    The people on the sidelines had their eyes open wide while You Zhichi closed her eyes. She did not have the guts to watch the result of this collision.


    ...


    <strong>BANGGG...</strong>


    The whole dimension seemed to have sensed this explosion. You Xi Wang flung off the ground and he miserably flew for at least 30, 40 meters before his body skid over the ground for another tens of meters. When his body stopped his upper body was naked. His hair was burnt to a crisp and a lot of wounds, big and small, were visible on his body. He lied there in a daze as his eyes vacantly stared at the sky.


    Maya dashed to his side and roared. The roar brought him back to his senses. He sat up instinctively. Just as he sat up he roared because of the immense paining from all over his body. He saw that heaven was still going to continue this tribtion. So he stood up staggeringly. nced at his spear stabbed inside the ground at a distance. It seemed to have been lost when he was flung off by the impact of the explosion. He raised his hand and made a grasping motion at his spear in the distance.


    Sensing the call of its master the spear flew itself and directlynded in You Xi Wang''s palm. A five feet tall golden dragon rose from the spear tip. You Xi Wang smiled disregarding the pain. The dragon spirit inside the spread woke up because of the pressure put forward by the heavenly tribtion. You Xi Wang did not seem to notice that some blood was leaking from the corner of his mouth.


    The golden dragon had four ws with five talons on every w, the ethereal body was filled with golden scales, two horns were visible on its forehead. The body of the dragon was like that of a snake. Golden thorns neatly protruded from its back, spanning from its neck to the end of its tail.


    ...


    You Zhichi and the others were also forced to retreat at a distance of five meters due to the aftershock of the st. They could still see the wounded You Xi Wang standing on the ground with a golden spear in his hand as a golden dragon hovered above his head. They all wanted to say so many things but they choose to keep silent as words could not express what they were feeling at this moment.


    ...


    You Xi Wang suddenly grabbed the shaft of the spear with both his hands and shoved it up at the sky. He yelled in a hoarse voice, "Dragon Peirce." this shout exposed his bloody mouth. The golden dragon hovering above his head immediately shot towards the sky.

 Chapter 195: A Stroke Of Luck.

    Chapter 195: A Stroke Of Luck.


    You Xi Wang suddenly grabbed the shaft of the spear with both his hands and shoved it up at the sky. He yelled in a hoarse voice, "Dragon Pierce." this shout exposed his bloody mouth. The golden dragon hovering above his head immediately shot towards the sky.


    The dragon roared and collided with the crimson lightning as thick as a banyan tree. A strong light shed throughout and everyone present at the scene couldn''t help but squint their eyes at this. What followed was a loud explosion, almost deafening the people.


    BOOM...


    You Xi Wang''s body was flung off even further than before. A burst of blood sprayed from his mouth as he was in the air. Maya, who stood at a distance, was also affected and she wailed in pain. It was a heavy blow the heavens have dealt them. You Xi Wang''s limbs were all twisted. They were broken. He was constantly vomiting blood. Despite such torment You Xi Wang''s eyes were clear.


    He sensed his friends and sister were about to rush to help him. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "STOP." it took him a lot of effort to shout. Then he used his mental sense to convey another message, "Do note over. It will only make the tribtion stronger. I can deal with it. So, please stay calm."


    They all seemed to have frozen in their ces. You Zhichi could not help but shed tears when she heard her brother speak such words. She understood he was putting on a brave front to save the others from facing the rage of the heavenly tribtion. They all were taught in the school that when someone interferes in a heavenly tribtion, their only end was erasure. Yes, any third person who interferes with the tribtion was directly erased by the heavens.


    A tribtion was like an exam. Heavens acts as the teacher, lightning bolts as the question paper, the cultivator as an examinee, and his methods to deal with the lightning bolts as the answers. Any third person''s interference was cheating. So the result of their interference was expulsion from the ss, which is known as the universe.


    Cruel, right? But only when a person sessfullyes across such cruelty can he or she be strong. A heavenly tribtion was not only a test for the cultivator but also his close ones. It was a test of character for the nears and dears. Only when facing such cmity can the real colors of the people surface.


    You Xi Wang closed his eyes and stabilized his breathing. He opened his eyes again and nced at the sky where a crimson dragon was shuttling through the dark clouds. You Xi Wang felt excited by this scene. He spoke in his mind to the system, ''Dude, get me to stand up. Can you mend my bones?''


    The system replied, [Bro, I am not a miracle doctor, you know. Still, for your courage, I will make you at least stand up on your feet. Though our survival will depend on you. You should be able to use it now, right?]


    You Xi Wang only hummed in response as his gaze was locked on the crimson lightning dragon in the sky. The system used all attribute spirit energy inside You Xi Wang''s body and connected his bones temporarily. It was only because of his strong will did You Xi Wang stand up. His eyes were full of determination. He lifted his shivering hands and made a grasping action towards both of his weapons.


    The golden spear and the ck sword trembled and flew through the void,nding in You Xi Wang''s palm one more time. He nced at both of his weapons with a smile on his face. He spoke, "Ready for thest one?"


    The weapons trembled as if excited. A golden dragon rose from the spear and hovered around You Xi Wang while a ck Pheonix rose from the sword. Both of them were the spirits inside the weapons, awakened by You Xi Wang''s vigor and spirit to defeat the heavens. They both had ethereal bodies made up of spirit energy. Both the dark phoenix and the golden dragon felt to be more real than ever before.


    ...


    You Zhichi''s delicate figure trembled, and she muttered with his eyes wide open, " True Dark Pheonix manifestation." one can only make the spirit manifest in almost alive form when they haveplete mastery over Purgatory. Throughout You family, there has been only one person to achieve that. That person was the first patriarch of the family. Now You Xi Wang became the second person.


    Neo on the side muttered, "One with his weapons, he is the weapon, and the weapon is him. The spirit of the invincible god of war" his words were heard by the other four people and they all were shocked. There was a book ced in the hall of heroes of the Council. This book was named, The invincible god of war. This book was dedicated to the people who have achieved unprecedented fame in battles against the dark forces. To have their name recorded in this book, one only needed to fulfill some conditions. The conditions were;


    1. Completely master five primary weapons and awake their spirits.


    2. Reach the peak of the primal Soul Realm before twenty.


    3. Defeat 10 Primal Soul Dark dwellers.


    You Xi Wang was only sixteen this year, and he has already awakened the spirits of his two spirit weapons. At this rate, You Xi Wang will definitely be able to get his name featured in that book. Those featured in that book will gain a license to kill. They can kill almost anyone on the whole, and nobody would ask them anything. It was challenging to meet the conditions, and there were only a handful of people in that book.


    You Xi Wang had killed 1 primal soul realm dark dweller, he was just one step away from breaking into the primal soul realm,pletely mastered two weapons, and awakened their spirits. He was already the youngest person on the whole to achieve this much. How difficult was it toplete the conditions given his monstrous pace?


    ...


    The crimson dragon in the sky suddenly roared. It was stimted by the battle intent of the two weapon spirits beside You Xi Wang. The dragon dived as it roared. You Xi Wang smiled. He was waiting for it. The moment he was hit by the first tribtion bolt, he has been umting momentum. This was his strongest move. Despite his broken body, his momentum was stronger than ever. The moment the crimson dragon dived at him, You Xi Wang released all his momentum and intent of weapons.


    His left hand stabbed the spear and the right hand shed the sword. As the two spirits flew up while merging with the spear intent and the sword intent, the weapons in You Xi Wang''s hands stayed suspended in the air. The boy gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes and when he reopened them, a wild and majestic aura radiated from him.


    While he was in seclusion, You Xi Wang practiced his martial arts. The principal of the academy has told him that the nine-fold dragon palm affected his body adversely. Ever since then, the boy was looking for a solution to this obstacle. The stronger the umtion, the stronger the bacsh. The solution he came up with was to integrate this palm method with his family boxing technique, the wild tiger fist.


    In the process to solve his problem, You Xi Wang created new martial art, Dao ws. the boy believed that bnce is Dao. As he sessfully developed the art to bnce different martial arts. He named it the Dao ws.


    The Crimson lightning dragon collided with the golden dragon and the two figures roared. The golden dragon was pushed back, and the Crimson dragon was gaining an upper hand on it. At this moment the Dark phoenix squeaked loud. The sharp voice seemed to have pierced the horizon itself. The dark phoenix collided with the crimson Dragon head-on. The progress of the crimson dragon slowed down a little.


    Just when the crimson dragon was about to retaliate the two spirits backed off and You Xi Wang roared, "Dao ws, shredding grasp." as soon as he was done speaking You Xi Wang waved his ws at the crimson dragon. Five golden arcs formed in the void, and they all charged at the crimson dragon.


    As soon as the two collided, they emitted a blinding glow. Followed by the glow, a shock wave radiated from the epicenter of the collision. There was no sound of the explosion. After five minutes, the glow lived. You Zhichi opened her eyes, and she immediately spread her soul sense to look for her brother because there was a lot of dust flying where the light erupted. The dust clouds were so dense that she could not find You Xi Wang with her eyes.


    Yuki, Fenny, Neo, and An also opened their eyes. They immediately ran inside the dust clouds without caring whether or not the tribtion ended. You Zhichi located her brother in the dust clouds, but the moment she raised her foot to advance to his side. She froze in her ce. Her figure trembled, her legs turned soft, and she kneeled down on the ground with her hands covering her mouth.


    She did not sense any breath in You Xi Wang''s body. The others who located You Xi Wang also froze. The surroundings were extremely silent. All of them had tears in their eyes and they kneeled on the ground with unexinable grief. They did not want to believe that it was true. You Zhichi''s eyes were slowly losing the glow of sanity. She was just a step away from turning into a living dead when they all were jolted back to senses by a coughing sound.


    COUGH... COUGH...


    This sound wasing from the dead You Xi Wang. A gust of wind made all the dust clouds scatter, that was when everyone saw You Xi Wang lying on the ground with his skin burnt ck, he looked nothing like his usual handsome self. It could be said that he was just half an inch from death.


    The dark cloud in the sky thundered. Everyone who rejoiced that You Xi Wang was alive froze. Before they could curse the heaven, a golden ray of light pierced through the dark clouds and fell over You Xi Wang. The golden ray of light wrapped You Xi Wang''s body like a cocoon. An eximed, "The heavenly blessing."


    They all stood up from the ground. Yuki rushed to You Zhichi and hugged her. The two girls did not hold back and let the stress flow out as tears. Fenny had red eyes but she would never cry in front of these ''sissies'' Neo and An wiped their tears and smiled.


    Soon a part of the Golden cocoon flew over Maya and simrly wrapped around her as well. Maya was also surrounded by her siblings at this moment. They were all grieving, thinking that Maya has left them.


    Inside the golden cocoon, You Xi Wang''s injured body was being repaired at a terrifying speed. This reforging strengthened his body than before. Maya was going through the same process. The foundation of their cultivation was being enhanced into a better version by the nourishment of the golden light. This golden cocoon was only given over those who not only passed a tribtion but also defeated the heavenly tribtion. Yes, in thest attack You Xi Wang''s w turned the crimson dragon into its most primitive form, the Dao script of the rule of destruction. This move was still in its research and development stages. Imagine how it will affect when You Xi Wangpleted it.


    Three hours passed in a blink and the golden cocoon faded revealing the handsome You Xi Wang inside. Soon the remaining golden glow was absorbed by You Xi Wang. The boy opened his eyes and sat up like a robot. He looked down at his body and muttered, "Did the demonesses of hell did something bad to me?"


    The next second he knew he was not dead. You Zhichi grabbed his ear and twisted it hard. A loud scream rang out in the surroundings.

 Chapter 196: Return.

    Chapter 196: Return.


    <strong>ARGHHHH...</strong>


    An exaggerated scream rang out in Elfheim. You Zhichi squinted her eyes and scolded her brother, "You dare scream from the pinch brat? Do you want me to rip it off for real?"


    Although she could never harm him. She still tried to deter the naughty guy. You Xi Wang calm down and nced at his sister quietly. Then he clicked his tongue and said, "Nah, you won''t do that to me, Big sis." and a sheepish smile emerged on his jade face.


    You Zhichi gave up on disciplining him and sat down next to him. The other guys also came to his side and Yuki hugged You Xi Wang while beating his chest with her fists. Fenny cussed You Xi Wang, "Brat Wang, you shitbrick. How dare you scare your big momma to death? I will rip off your new baby skin and use it as a fertilizer."


    The atmosphere turned jolly with the funny curse words flying around. Maya also came to sit down beside You Xi Wang when she woke up. Her fur now had a shimmering glow radiating from it. Her blue eyes and extra ck pupil under the original one. The crescent moon mark on her forehead was so dark that it looked as if a mini ck hole. She has now evolved from a teen wolf to an adult. This was all because of the blessing of the heavens. She got it because she was You Xi Wang''s beastpanion in the tribtion. They were bound by the equal contract of the spirit beast.


    After a few minutes of chatting, You Zhichi asked her brother, "Bro, what was thatst w attack? I did not sense any fluctuations from it. How strong was it?" her tone was brimming with curiosity.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "It is a martial art I created. I call it the Dao w. This w attack is a crossover between the Wild Tiger fist and the Nine-fold dragon palm. The wild tiger fist is too rampant while the nine-fold palms need one to be patient and absorb. The principal told me not to use the palm method as it will only harm me more So while in seclusion I came up with a solution for this. As I practiced finding the solution, I realized that what I am looking for is the bnce between death and life. So I developed this close-quarter method. The ws are something between a fist and an open palm. It umtes the momentum while fighting constantly without being wild or tooid back. That is what I intercept the Dao to be. Some people seek strength, some seek speed, while I seek bnce and change. So the Dao w came to being. The move is supposed to counter the opposite force perfectly to find a bnce while changing the opposite force to its most primitive form. What you guys saw just now was actually a fluke. I do not know how that move disrupted the crimson dragon." at the end of his monologue, he sighed and gazed at the sky above him. No one knew what he was thinking.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Your tribtion created too much noise. It might have been seen by others of the elf kingdom or even the council upper echelon. What do you think we should do now? Not every 16 years old can survive a heavenly tribtion. You know how big the impact will be?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke slowly, Don''t worry, the process of heavenly tribtion is not anyone can pry into. Those of another dimension cannot find out anything. So rx." this was half lie and half a truth. You Xi Wang had the system to scan the surrounding for the surveince around him. The system did not find any sort of disturbance in the environment. So they assumed no one was watching.


    ...


    Council Headquarters.


    Hundreds of people sat in front of a cluster of sixteen screens. The scene was like that of a corporate office. Cubicles were divided and everyone had a dedicated work area. These people monitored the vital stats of the teams inside the dimensions.


    A man sat in a cubicle monitoring the vital signs of the Silica City team. The middle-aged man was very surprised when it found that the team did not have any big fluctuations during their initial time inside. As time passed, this surprise became a daily activity. The man thought this might be the only team to ever cross the survival trial with such ease, but today his spection was broken. Advanced Metropia had the equipment capable of detecting the reasons behind the vital''s fluctuation. This monitoring was all possible because of the jade pieces given to the teams.


    Today when he took over the shift, he found the vitals were normal, but suddenly the captain named You Xi Wang had drastic fluctuations. The situation worsened so much that he was about to dere him dead. But just as he was about to make a call, the situation changed. The vitals of You Xi Wang picked up. The cause of these fluctuations was then discovered to be a heavenly tribtion. The man was shocked to the core of his existence. He was about to call the rted higher authorities when President Book appeared next to him.


    The man greeted Alester Book. The old man asked what the situation was, and the man truthfully reported the matter. Alester Book nodded and told him to keep it a secret. The middle-aged man asked why should he keep it a secret. This heavenly tribtion is his duty to report to the rted officials.


    Alester Book told him You Xi Wang is his disciple. He understood that the man was a responsible person and knowing the identity of You Xi Wang he would understand the potential dangers the boy would face if this is known and so the heavenly tribtion was covered up by the grace of Alester Book.


    ...


    The group returned to the eleven castle grounds where the whole team was waiting for them. You Xi Wang and all of them had a good meal with the Elf council. Ilex and the others repeatedly expressed their gratitude and sent them a lot of gifts. These gifts ranged from phasor guns to attires, elixirs to tech manuals. You Xi Wang was also given a space bottle that contained 2 gallons of spirit liquid from the spiritke.


    When he came out of the spiritke You Xi Wang did not close the barrier between the two parts of the pond. He told Ilex that the barrier was a gift. He also left them some array of knowledge. Given the IQ these people had, they could evolve it on their own. The elves also had some very exquisite and high-level spirit weapons. Every member of the team was given a weapon of their choice, even the wolves now had armors for themselves. They were armed with spirit ws and other awesome gear.


    The material used by the elves was not worse than the high-quality rare metals in metropia. They even provided them with a forging manual and repair manual. Compared to the life of their world, all these techniques were worth nothing. You Xi Wang was given a white bow. The bow was exquisite, and it had Elven chants engraved on its body. You Xi Wang was also given a forearm protector. The whole set had a valiant charm to it. The Elven queen said that this bow was a weapon used by their goddess.


    Since You Xi Wang saved their race from imminent death, he should hold on to this weapon. The spirit of this weapon is a swift eagle. The swift eagle was a spirit beast that was capable of supersonic flights since its birth. This bow had a spirit of an adult swift eagle sleeping inside it. If he can make it wake up, then it would be a very good addition to his arsenal. You Xi Wang wanted to refuse, but the Elfs did not let him.


    Queen Ilex, General Miles, and the dark elf loli escorted them back to the ce where the space crack would open. They all rode on lev boards. You Xi Wang already had the blueprint scanned in his mind and he was ready to get this thing in production as soon as he returns. Soon the jade pieces given to the sixteen people started to blink, and a space crack opened.


    The team bid farewell to some elves they have gotten to know while the other side did the same. It was inevitable to develop a friendship in the period of six months. You Xi Wang himself was not too open to strangers, but he never stopped his team to interact with the others. After bidding farewell, the team was about to step into the space hole when Ilex suddenly asked them to stop for a moment.


    ...


    A light flickered and You Xi Wang and his team appeared in the dimensional tunnel on the Sky Event Square. After the initial daze Hercules spoke up, "Captain, I see teacher Maddison and instructor Adonis over there." he pointed out in a direction.


    You Xi Wang and the others followed his finger and saw Maddison waving at them with a smile filled with pride. The team came back in one piece and their auras were stronger than before. They all took advantage of this trial to the fullest. Also, there was another reason. The rest of the teams, some came back in such dire straits that the medics had to take them to the infirmary right away while You Xi Wang and the team did not even have one hair out of ce. They all even carried a slight fragrance, as if they all just came back from the vacation.


    The other teachers in the square all wanted to rush up and grab hold of these kids and ask them if they all just came back from the spa resort.

 Chapter 197: Ripples.

    Chapter 197: Ripples.


    Under countless doubtful gazes, You Xi Wang and the team walked up to their teacher. Maddison was escorted by a council staff member. Maddison smiled at the group and asked the official to be relieved. You Zhichi thanked the official and sent him away.


    Maddison spoke as she let Fenny hold her arm, "You guys all look so fresh and strong. Where did you go?"


    Ihi replied to her, "The world of Elves." he was very excited as he recounted all that they have faced inside there. None of the teammates stopped him. They even add what Ihi forgot to tell. You Xi Wang just silently smiled from the side. You Zhichi spoke in his mind, "Master is here. She said that if we made any discoveries, then we should report them to the invigtors before the result is out. It will be counted as merit."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke to Maddison, who was being filled in by the rest of the team, "Teacher, I will go with big sis to report our discoveries to the invigtors." thetter nodded in response and You Xi Wang put away the soft gaze. He looked at the team and said, "You all better keep the gifts thing inside your stomachs before we get back home. Or they might ask you to surrender them. Do you understand?"


    The team immediately came to their senses. They all nodded to assure You Xi Wang not to worry. After watching their gaze, You Xi Wang walked away with his sister. The sky event square had a discement area of 2 kilometers. This whole area led to various buildings rted to the council. One of these buildings was the exploration center. When You Xi Wang located the invigtor and told him they would like to provide intel regarding the dimensional space they were deployed to, the invigtor pointed them to this building.


    The exploration building looked just like any other building on the sky event square. Five floors high, ss exterior a typical mini corporate office vibe. You Xi Wang entered the building with You Zhichi by his side. As soon as they stepped in for the security check, the scanning light turned red. The guard aimed at them with their guns and asked coldly, "Who are you and what is your motive?"


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi did not panic and spoke calmly, "Student You Xi Wang(You Zhichi) here to report some findings during the survival trial."


    Although nothing was detected, the guard still did not let his guard down. He asked again, "What do you hide in the shadow?"


    Only now did You Xi Wang and his sister realize that the arrays here are stronger and can detect Maya in his shadow. So with no resistance, he asked Maya toe out. The vignt guards saw a glowing white-furred wolf appear in front of them. One of them immediately blurted out, "Level 6 spirit beast Snow Hound."


    The other guards were shocked, they knew this beast could kill them all if not for the security array. Even after being discovered, this beast is too difficult to handle. They gave You Xi Wang another nce. To have such a strong spirit beast, this guy must have a distinguished identity. The guard in charge spoke, "Sir, your spirit beast needs to wear a restriction array cor. We ask for your cooperation."


    You Xi Wang nced at Maya and nodded. He spoke, "I understand this step is taken for security reasons but do not bound her movement. We share an equality spirit bond." his voice was calm during this process.


    The guard was surprised and then expressed his understanding. If someone shares the equality spirit bond, then it will be quite painful if the beast''s movements are restricted. The security guard took a jade band out of his space ring. He then uttered a chant, and the band flew up. The band then sped on Maya''s ankle. With this, her spirit energy was restricted. She could use none of her spirit skills.


    You Xi Wang could then enter the premises. Two beautiful humans and a glowing white wolf walked up to the reception. This attracted a lot of attention from the staff and the visitors. You Xi Wang spoke, "Hello, sir, we are the team members deployed to the Saxa Deserti dimensional pocket we have some new discoveries. Can you tell us whom should we report it to?"


    The person sitting behind the reception table was struck in a daze when he saw You Zhichi walking up to her. His trance broke, and he replied, "You go to the third floor and meet with Mr. Dalton in room number 35. He handles this dimensional pocket."


    You Xi Wang nodded and along with his sister proceeded to the third floor with Maya in tow. They soon located room number 35. You Xi Wang knocked on the door and a leisurely voice came from inside, "Come in."


    The boy pushed the door which has been opened from inside. In front of him sat an old man with a barren head. You Zhichi followed her brother inside and sat down. The worktable was filled with leftover snack wrappers, a moist smell permitted in the air. This was enough to tell the two people how sparse it was for these ces to be visited by people other than the old man. Saxa Deserti was like a jewel in the dust, overlooked by everyone. The old man spoke, "My name is Pixus Dalton, how may I help you?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Sir, we have something to report regarding the situation inside Saxa Deserti."


    The old man nodded and gestured him to continue. You Xi Wang started speaking about how they discovered that the rocky in was a man-made construct. Then You Zhichi exined how they traveled for days on flying swords. The more the old man heard, the more he was startled. He never expected the barren-looking dimension to be like this. The old man interrupted the two as soon as they were about to narrate the fort battle.


    Pixus Dalton spoke, "Do you guys have any evidence? Any records to back what you say as the truth?" his tone was excited and full of expectation.


    You Xi Wang nodded and took out a Data Storing Cube from his space ring. He spoke, "Sir, this cube contains the data you need. As you can see, this cube is not a device developed in Metropia. The Elven Queen requested Metropia doesn''t interfere with them and they have sent a peace intent addressing the council. I will now hand over this matter to you."


    Old man Dalton''s eyes opened so wide that they almost fell out of the socket. He picked up the data cube with shivering hands and spoke to the siblings, "You guys have done great merit. Don''t worry, this whole thing will be counted when your result rank is being calcted. I will now take my leave. This cube needs to be delivered to the headquarters." with that said, he cleaned up his office. This was also the queue for You Xi Wang and You Zhichi to leave and wait for their results toe out.


    The two people left the office along with their wolfpanion. At the exit of the building, a guard carefully took off the restriction band from Maya''s ankle. Then let the trio leave. Soon after, they saw a flustered old man running through the building. He even asked for a guarded convoy as to not dy the urgent reporting.


    You Xi Wang and his sister chatted leisurely as they walked back to the team. They were unaware of the uproar they had created in the council headquarters. The people in the upper echelon did not know how a group of greenhorns could explore a dimension to such limits and also help the natives solve the problems they are facing for thousands of years. What shocked them more was the technological advancement of the civilization inside.


    The threat assessment given to this dimension was as high as three nirvana rebirth cultivators together. That''s enough to raze a city to the ground in minutes. There were still some unknown factors, such as whether the Elves had high-level existences inside who were hiding away from the secr world.


    The breeze of relief came as a peace intent letter. In the letter, it was mentioned that the 16 students who went there for a survival trial were selected as the envoys of peace. The Elves only requested for Metropia to not interfere with their matters and not to send people for exploration unannounced to disturb their newly gained tranquility. The executives were shocked, and they sent the letter to be presented in front of the Council elders.


    The council elders discussed and unanimously agreed to the proposal put forward by the Elven Council. The Elves were kind enough to remind the humans that blind pursuit of technology or development will eventually lead to the ruin of the civilization. This was also a point of discussion and during the discussion of the elders. Shelton Hammer mentioned the essayposed by You Xi Wang and his way of thinking.


    This may not have created an uproar in the council, but it was enough to cause some ripples.

 Chapter 198: Growth.

    Chapter 198: Growth.


    You Xi Wang and his sister both came back to the team and stood up in two queues. They were all ready for the result announcement. All the other teams were also present. Some had sullen faces while some had relieved expressions. You Xi Wang instinctively counted and found out that some teams are missing some members. Some candidates were spotted with Neuro-Prosthetic limbs. The system spoke, [We are very lucky to breeze through it with just a few holes and scars.]


    You Xi Wang nodded. He asked the system, ''Did you check on LUCY''s progress?''


    The system replied, [You are in for a big shock.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Stop hyping it up. Tell me already.''


    The system chuckled and spoke, [LUCY can now talk and express ideas and even make suggestions to you. She is a human with artificial emotions.]


    You Xi Wang was really shocked so he asked, ''borate.''


    The system replied, [She used the hacking ability to invade the Silica Citywork. Then after she extracted all the knowledge I asked her topile, the smart self-learning system made a decision that it is necessary to develop a pseudo emotional quotient. This decision helped her grow rapidly and capable of understanding what a person actually means. The study material she selected was the movies and psychology research papers scattered all over the Metr. She can now differentiate between sarcasm and jokes.]


    The more he heard the more surprised he felt. He remembered the source code of LUCY but he did not expect it to be so good that the program would develop pseudo emotions. A sense of satisfaction made him exhale heavily. The others did not seem to notice his action. Soon the system also told him about how the shadows have developed inside the Mirai group.


    Before leaving for the trial. You Xi Wang asked the shadows to make daily or weekly progress reports depending on their convenience. You Naixin was left as the family in charge and in the past one month the family had adapted to the ancient ways of cultivation. The rest stays the same. The family now holds weekly battles among the younger generation to make them develop battle instincts. The younger generation is also deployed in the defense forces to umte battle experience and develop a better intellect. The youth leaders such as You Shan Wang and his peers have stepped into the threshold of a Primal Soul realm practitioner strengthening the family''s forces. They now have 20 primal soul realm cultivators. Which is on par with the Chen family from frost city.


    All in all, You Xi Wang was satisfied with the overall growth of the youth. Lily, Celestia, and some other kids in the family volunteered and cracked the academy entrance exams. They all would be teaching under special teachers and learn about the ways of the world but were not allowed to cultivate before they are 14 years old or more.


    ...


    On the sky event square, The nice Council elders appeared out of thin air. The murmurs among the crowd came to an end as soon as they all witnessed these flickering figures. Shelton Hammer the president of the technology department walked up to the stage and infused the spiritual energy in his voice. Then he spoke, "Wee back, all the survivors. Metropia is proud of you all. It has been tough on you all. Some of you lost a part of yourself in those dimensions while some of you will nevere back to us. The perseverance and glory you have gained for yourself and for your friends are well deserved. Now, let us offer prayers for our departedrades. Take a moment of silence in their honor." his voice seemed to echo throughout the. After speaking he fell back to the ranks with the rest of the council elders.


    The chaotic world descended to silence. You Xi Wang sensed the people not even breathing as they prayed for the rest of the deceased. He felt goosebumps all over his body as he has never experienced anything quite like this. After 10 minutes of silence, the elders on the stage let out a breath followed by all the people around. A man wearing an emerald green battle suit walked up. The man had a dusty appearance as if he was detached from the world. A long sword hiding inside a white jade scabbard was tied to the man''s waist. His face was wrapped with aura. None of the people in the crowd dared to pry through the spirit energy mask to spy on his identity.


    The man spoke in a deep voice as he addressed the popce below, "My name is Achilles, I am the elder presiding over the defense forces of the council. On the behalf of the, I would like to thank you for the job you have done. I understand that some of you might be overwhelmed by grief but remember, a warrior never let the emotions push him around. Now let us get to know who are the best ten teams among all of you. The council supports healthypetition but not aparison. Even the five fingers in one''s hand are different, how do you expect the other humans to be the same? So bear that in your mind when you get the result."


    The crowd responded with a simultaneous cry of affirmation. Achilles nodded, as the defense force elder, he was responsible for the major announcements of this tournament. He spoke, "The ten best, starting from the tenth are, Croma City team, Ahmshire City team, Wushu city team, Bushido City team, Mith City team, Sahasa Town Team, Frost City team, Schria City team, Imperial City Team. Thest team not only survived in the dimensional space but also acquired valuable intel. This is not all, disying the best human spirit The Silica City team earned the favor of the natives by saving them from imminent extinction. The natives of the dimensional space came forward with a peace treaty with the Silica City team as human envoys. The team which came out as the leaders in the survival trial is the Silica city team."


    As soon as Achilles announced the first result the people had started to follow up with cheerful apuse, but as soon as the second and the first were announced the whole square fell silent. The imperial city team, the team which was envisioned to lead overall was second and the Silica City team, who was thest team, to jump in came out as first? This was the greatest upset in the millennia. On the stage, Achilles frowned and asked, "Does anyone has any objections to this result?"


    The Imperial City team captain couldn''t help anymore and ask, "With all due respect, Elder Achilles, may I ask, what is the intel your excellency mentioned?" his tone was full of respect and he spoke in a humble tone daring not to appear chic in this god of war.


    Achilles was one of the people who was featured in the book Neo and the others were discussing when You Xi Wang crossed the tribtion. He had the license to kill. He noticed the dissatisfaction mixed with curiosity among the crowd and he spoke, "The Silica City team entered Saxa Deserti, those who don''t know which dimension I am talking about can look up for it on the Metr. The team then found out that the whole barren in was man-made, then they ingeniously used a forgotten mean of travel, the flying swords, after a constant journey of 4 days at Mach2 speed they reached the civilization of that Dimension. The natives of that ce are called Elves. Their details will be published for the civilians in a few days. The team helped them ovee a crisis thatsted for almost 900 years. The team also saved many native lives. They were rewarded with the honor of The Friend Of Elves. Because of their behavior, the natives decided to be at peace with us, otherwise given the technological advancement of those people if they decided to attack us. It might make two or three cities fall before it is subdued. Do you still have any questions?" his firm tone made the people kill the questions originating inside their minds.


    ...


    When Ilex asked the few of the Phantoms to stay for a while, she was giving them all a blessing fruit from the spirit tree of the Elves. This fruit enhanced one''s physique and fortune. Along with it the Elven council also passed on the peace intent letter. In return, You Xi Wang also took out the remaining me poison in General Miles''s arm and bid farewell at a good note.


    ...


    On the stage, Achilles called over the top ten team captains to receive their merit medals. These medals would be counted as the merit points of the whole city. Yeah, the whole city gets to lie down as the others win them to glory. You Xi Wang got up at the stage and Achilles himself pinned the medal on his battle suit. Achilles froze for a moment and he recovered very quickly.


    He spoke to You Xi Wang, "You have a good potential. Keep working hard."


    The whole audience heard this encouragement and You Xi Wang''s status grew to an evil genius status in a blink.

 Chapter 199: Trouble Maker.

    Chapter 199: Trouble Maker.


    While everyone was busy being surprised and shocked over the encouragement Achilles expressed for You Xi Wang, the mystified elder spoke, "As the leader of the leading team, you should address the masses. They all want to listen a young hero speak about his experiences."


    Although You Xi Wang was reluctant, he had a good sense of the situation. Rejecting to address the people would be a silent face p to this person in front of him. Despite looking calm on the surface the teenager battle maniac was shivering on the inside. Not because of fear because he wanted to fight with this elder right now. He nodded to the elder and turned to face the crowd. After infusing spirit energy in his throat he spoke in a sonorous voice, "When we walk on the road we must walk with our heads held high. But we must also remember to keep our eyes down on the road to be mindful of the pits and obstacles we might face. Inside those dimension pockets, lies a worldpletely different from what we are used to. My team also faced the same situation, but it was only due to our cooperation did we sessfully survive. I do not know what you all have faced inside there but I ask you not to let this helpless emotion wash away in tears." suddenly he raised his voice,


    "<strong>Hold on the tears, walk strong and conquer your fears. </strong>


    <strong> Clench your fist, face off with the beast.</strong>


    <strong>The demons in your heart, don''t let them take you apart.</strong>


    <strong>In the dark night, even if you fall at least put up a fight.</strong>


    <strong>Hold on to your tears, be the fear."</strong>


    as soon as his poem ended, the people who were just standing in the crowd withckluster eyes seemed to have woke up. The light of consciousness returned to their eyes. One girl with a prosthetic arm spoke up, "I have a question for you."


    Her voice was like a bell in the silent graveyard. Everyone looked at her. The girl immediately became slightly hesitant. She hated herself for reacting impulsively. You Xi Wang sensed her hesitation and encouraged her, "Elder Sister, ask whatever you want to. Don''t be hesitant. I will try my best to answer your query."


    The girl picked up some of her courage and asked, "Do you think it is easy to get up after taking a fall?" her tone was very desperate as if searching for a spark in the darkness.


    You Xi Wang smiled slightly and spoke, "Some time ago, my parents passed away in a maglev st. I have always been close to them just like any other child would be. Growing up, I loved my parents and family so much that this sudden change copsed the merry world I was living in. I fell into aa, leaving only my big sister to deal with things. When I woke up it has been two weeks since my parent''s funeral. I took a fall and almost broke apart. Yet when I saw how much the people around me were affected by this and how they felt sad I picked myself up. I lost something very important to me, but if I were to keep letting the grief overwhelm me, I would have never been able to stand here today. So if you all kept neglecting what you have for what you have lost. It will only make you end up bad. So I hope you all can try to climb up once again and realize the dreams of your friends for them." his tone was calm and his pace was steady.


    You Xi Wang was not aware that this answer of his made a lot of council elders give him a high evaluation. The girl who asked him the question had tears brimming in her eyes but she did not let the fall. She raised her left hand that was not a prosthetic limb and made a fist as she roared to the sky. This gesture was followed by almost everyone in the sky event square. The elders saw how You Xi Wang lifted the spirit of the hopeless survivors with a poem and how he inspired them.


    You Xi Wang walked down the stage amidst the roaring crowd. The people he passed by all nodded to him and You Xi Wang returned the gesture with a smile. When he reached his team he saw his sister looking at him with red eyes. He pursed his lips and hugged her. He knew his sister would have cried otherwise. She has been through a lot. Today You Xi Wang gave her and the family all the credit for his growth and strength. He acknowledged how much she had suffered. You Zhichi was also a human being who needed to beforted.


    ...


    After the ceremony came to an end the participants were told to go back home and have a rest. They will being back to the Imperial city afterward for the solo battle fest round where teams from different cities will be fighting against each other in one-on-one battles in front of the whole.


    You Xi Wang was also very restless. He had promised Yuki to spend a night with her after they returned home. He was very eager for this. You Zhichi helped Maddison and the group made their way to the airport of the city. The team all purchased souvenirs from the street market. You Xi Wang bought a lot of local snacks as he had a group of hungry little devils waiting for him back home. The rest of the journey was very much boring. The team boarded the airship headed back to Silica City in the silent sky.


    ...


    While You Xi Wang was traveling back to his home the council elders sat in a dim-lit room. The meeting was called by Achilles to discuss the grooming of these young heroes. The meetingmenced with some usual exchange between the elders when Achilles spoke up, "I think Imperial city team captain, Aaron Efron, would be good to serve as the new captain in the defense forces. He is strong and smart."


    The other elders nodded and expressed their approval. Despite being cocky this guy indeed had the capital to walk sideways in the crowd of geniuses. Achilles continued, "I would like You Xi Wang to be groomed as a candidate of invincible spirit of the god of war."


    All the elders nced at Achilles with big eyes. One of the old guys asked, "The reason behind this proposal?"


    Achilles replied, "That boy is a Primal Soul Realm cultivator at the age of 16, He hasprehended the intent of sword and spear. He is good enough. I will find an opportune moment to ask him to be my disciple. Also, you all have seen that he has the talent to turn distressed into hope."


    The other elders nodded and they were about to speak when Alester Book coughed and spoke, "I don''t agree with you, Achilles." he did not care about the impact his words had over the entire council.


    Achilles spoke with surprise, "Preacher, what is the reason behind your objection." he was an old friend with this man.


    Alester Book spoke, "You Xi Wang acknowledged me as his master one month ago. He has not only condensed the intent of the weapon but also evoked the weapon spirit of his sword and spear. Before the battle fest, he found out that a rtive of his was inclining to the dark side. He personally called me over to escort that person to the monks. He also does not want to get involved with the council."


    Achilles was shocked and eximed, "Old bastard, you really know how to snatch a good seed. I won''t ask him to be my disciple but why does he not want to involve with the council?"


    Alester Book replied, "The person whom he discovered to be inclining to the dark side was a council official. Also, Xiao Wang says that the council is too rigid and he won''t be able to adjust within. Knowing his nature I did not pursue him and agreed to his condition. His point of reasoning is that if the dark dwellers can have their influence nted inside the council of Metropia then who can you trust? So let him grow outside the council."


    Achilles frowned slightly and spoke, "Alester, his reasoning is correct but if he doese inside the council he would be able to deal with these dark dwellers faster." his voice revealed a hint of mixed emotions.


    Alester Book smiled and spoke, "Have you seen the Silica City monthly report?"


    Before Achilles could reply an elder in grey robes spoke in a seemingly fragile voice, "I have seen it. The dark force''s domain of influence has squeezed a lot there. It is not only in the Silica City but also the Croma City too. The four big families maintain the order but they were unable to find the shadow units of the dark forces. I wonder how the dark forces have plummeted in these two regions."


    Alester Book replied, "Elder Snipe, it is all credit to You family''s shadow unit. They have recruited a lot of orphans with good aptitude, trained them and deployed them to deal with the dark forces by infiltration. The screening process is very effective. They don''t test the strength but the mentality of the shadows. These shadows are not blinded by rage and vengeance. Instead they just want to make the dark forces pay as they carry on with their normal lives. I have seen these shadows. While You Xi Wang was away it was his grand aunt who was incharge of this and believe me. Their efficiency is far better then the council executioners." his voice was calm yet his eyes were filled with pride.


    Shelton Hammer muttered, "If only we had thought of this method." his low voice gave people an idea. All the elders exchanged a nce and spoke, "We agree."


    Achilles spoke with shinng eyes, "Hahahaha, I will have the scepters deployed in a month. Alester, you have found a good disciple indeed." after the whole councilughed they continued with their discussion. Shelton hammer proposed Gena Langford to be his apprentice. He proposed to let the girl visit TianLong Technologies for an exchange after the battle fest is wrapped up.


    You Xi Wang at this moment was unaware that his master has ousted his secret identity as his disciple in order to show off. If he knew, he would have cursed the old man for being such a trouble maker. But then again was he any point shorter than his master in trouble making.

 Chapter 200: Home Sweet Home.

    Chapter 200: Home Sweet Home.


    It was only early in the evening when the airshipnded on the academy campus. You Xi Wang and the others had just stepped out of the airship trap door when they all heard a thunderous cheer.


    <strong>"Wee Home, Phantoms. We are proud of you all."</strong>


    When the team looked around they found the school faculty members leading fellow students and their family members in the port area. The crowd held a big holographic banner disying the same message as the cheer just now. The team felt very happy when they saw such a wee entourage held for them.


    You Xi Wang spotted some very missed faces in the crowd. Emily, Susan, You Naixin, You Fengxian, Lily, Celestia (i know what you want to say, his female following is too much but who made him such a good boy? Oh, wait, I did.) He also spotted the family members of the rest of the teammates. Even Chris was standing next to Celestia. Suddenly he made a weird face.


    Neo, who stood beside him sensed his friend''s change and spoke, "He has awakened his bloodline and thus the change." he knew You Xi Wang was thinking about Chris being a mini muscle mountain. Although You Xi Wang had known about the changes, he did not expect the growth to be such rapid as if Chris was on steroids and ate barbells for meals.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a low voice, "Hmmm, just don''t let him start cultivating before he is a suitable age or my family''s little fairy will raise a storm and I will break your ass."


    Neo totally understood his words and chuckled. He replied, "Yes, Captain."


    The team walked down and regrouped with everyone on the port. You Xi Wang greeted the principal and the teachers quickly before making way to find his family along with his sister. The siblings hugged You Naixin as soon as she came in the physical contact range of the two. The hug was silent but long. They have not been away from home and after their mother, only You Naixin could provide them sufficient warmth.


    Simr scenes were taking ce on the whole field. Fenny was almost bawling as she buried her head in Matthew''s chest. Neo was being given a bear hug by his father. An had his father pat his shoulder with a smile. While Yuki had her parents hold her hands as they checked her body with their scanner-like eyes for injuries. The others in the team also were going through the same thing.


    As soon as You Xi Wang separated from You Naixin, he did not get a chance to even speak when two girls jumped in front of him. He smiled helplessly and took the two little loli''s in his arms. You Xi Wang asked, "How are my two little d.. fairies?"


    Celestia smiled and gave You Xi Wang a big kiss on his cheek. Lily followed her actions and stamped another cheek. They spoke in unison, "We missed you Big brother (xixi)"


    You Zhichi on the side spoke, "Oh, so only he was missed? Poor Chichi has no value." exaggeratedly the heavenly maiden buried her head in You Fengxian''s shoulder and started to act as if she was sobbing. The two girls nced at her first then continued snuggling to You Xi Wang.


    You Zhichi, who was watching this with her soul sense, was overwhelmed with strong shock. She did not expect the two little girls two be so apathetic towards her. She immediately stood up with her eyes wide open as her face expressed the word ''unbelievablepletely. Celestia spoke to Lily, "Big sis has poor acting skills."


    Lily nodded and replied, "She is the heavenly maiden. How do you expect her to act jealous. Poor she. We have to teach her."


    Their words amused everyone and they couldn''t help butugh. You Zhichi just pouted her lips and turned her face sideways expressing her displeasure. Only when the two girls coaxed her with honey dripping words did she forgave them. As they were nning to return home the principal came to You Xi Wang and made a proposal.


    "Student You Xi Wang, we have organized a victory march around the city. What do you think?" Willian Trevor spoke in a calm tone.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Sir, we all have just returned home after six months inside the dimensional pocket. How about we take some rest for the day and do this tomorrow. It also happens to be a week off for the people so more people will be able toe out and enjoy."


    His counter-proposal was epted by everyone. If they were to know that this guy and his team had been cultivating leisurely inside the dimensional space, would they vomit blood on his face? But well they did not get to know as nobody in the team wanted to go for a victory march around the city as soon as they came back.


    They all were at ease in the dimension but that was not without any kind of potential threats. You Xi Wang had told them to never believe anyonepletely. Because the moment they turn blind is the moment they die. The elves were a good species, believed and followed the word given. Otherwise, if they had an encounter with a wolf species. They would have been torn apart at night when sleeping.


    The principal saw that the students in the team all looked slightly unrested they had to go home and enjoy a carefree sleep. The winners left the academy grounds with their parents and decided that they woulde back in the noon tomorrow.


    You family mansion wasvishly decorated today. Lanterns hung on both sides of the walkways in the mansion. A big banner was erected at the mansion entrance, which said, "Wee Back."


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were led inside by the people to take a shower and change their clothes. The family will be holding a closed-door banquet to celebrate their return. Susan and Emily followed You Xi Wang in his room while Celestia and Lily yed with the bigger and prettier Maya in the garden. Maya had missed these two girls as well.


    Don''t look down on her cause she is a beast. her emotional quotient is definitely higher than some human beings. Inside the bathroom. You Xi Wang had dragged Susan and Emily to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, without crossing the line. He has been holding it in for six months in his clock. Petra was a shy one while Yuki was never alone with him. Only Emily and Susan could put a rest to his fire.


    The three people entangled for a whole hour inside the bathroom before they came out and changed into mourous clothes. You Xi Wang draped a ck suit with a royal blue waistcoat inside and a white shirt and a royal blue tiepleting his look. Emily found a white sungazer flower and pinned it on his coat pocket.


    Susan wore a rose gold champagne gown with a slightly deep back. Emily sported a silver party dress. You Xi Wang asked as the girls held his arm on both sides, "Did you invite Petra?"


    Emily smiled and said, "We called over Petra and Yuki along with her parents. Don''t worry. In the noon, Petra was about toe to receive you but something came up at work. She is already in the guest hall. Granny Xue held her there to familiarize herself with the family when she was about toe here."


    You Xi Wang nodded and with a faint smile, he left his room. He had juste ut when he spotted You Naixin walking over wearing a signature Feiry red gown dress. She looked exquisite. The girls exchanged a nce and removed their grip over You Xi Wang''s arms. This was a sign of shame and respect for the elderly in the household. You Naixin smiled and shook her head as she spoke, "How many times I have told you two. Don''t think of me like those old coots. You people are young and you should be active."


    The girls just smiled as they heard these words. You Xi Wang spoke, "What do you mean by we are ''Young''? Do you ept that you are old?" his words immediately invited a painful ear grip from You Naixin.


    She spoke, "Brat, don''t think granny won''t spank your ass just cause you came first in the survival test."


    You Xi Wang spoke with a pleading expression, "Okay, Beauty Xin, please let me go. You know I depend on my face to eat these days." his joke made all threedies chuckle. You Naixin spoke, "Come, before the banquet, the elders have called for a meeting in the gathering hall. Now that you are here, I can enjoy a little break."


    You Xi Wang nodded and extended his arm to You Naixin. The fiery robbeddy gracefully took his hand and then the two walked to the gathering hall with much gusto. You Xi Wang had lots of gifts to share with the family. He also wanted to know the exact progress of the family forces in his absence.

 Chapter 201: Wealth Clouds.

    Chapter 201: Wealth Clouds.


    Holding the slender jade arm, You Xi Wang advanced towards the gathering hall to see the elders. His shoulder-length hair was tied in a high bun, making him look unique yet chic. The bun on his head was tied by Emily after a hearty effort. You Naixin nced at his side profile. Wearing five-inch long heels, she was tall enough to meet You Xi Wang''s eyes. She spoke, "Brat, tell me why do you look so different from before?"


    You Xi Wang asked with a smile, "Different? How?"


    You Naixin replied, "I cannot pinpoint what exactly is the change, but your temperament is like that of an expert."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "You will get the answer when we reach the gathering hall."


    You Naixin squinted her eyes and snorted at him. She muttered under her breath, "Acting Mysterious." and slightly pouted her lips.


    Watching her act in such a manner, You Xi Wang smiled faintly. The pair of grand-aunt and nephew reached the Gathering Hall. Today was a meeting called by the elder''s council, so only the elders were present in the hall. They were all sitting on the chair designated to them as they discussed some matters. Tonight was a celebration, so they all wore suits and groomed themselves. The sauce and chic appearance was indeed something You Xi Wang had not expected from this group of old tools.


    As he entered the hall, You Xi Wang waved his hand and the big doors closed. He led You Naixin to her chair and walked up to his throne. The hall fell silent as soon as he sat down on the throne. His aura changed from a good boy of the house to the domineering leader of the family. He spoke slowly, "How is the implementation of the instructions I passed on before I left? Let''s start with the array deployment."


    The fifth elder stood up and spoke in a respectful manner, "Master, in the past month the family ground has been equipped with five mind training arrays, five martial training arrays, three illusion arrays, and one weapon training array. The younger members all practice with these arrays daily as you have instructed." he waited for You Xi Wang''sment. Only when the boy nodded did the fifth elder sit down.


    You Xi Wang asked, "How about the strength increase of the family?"


    The seventh elder stood up and replied, "Master, all the family disciples have now stepped into either the peak of the body tempering realm or the early stage of the core formation realm. The family also has 50 primal soul realm cultivators."


    Thest statistic shocked You Xi Wang. By his estimate, there should be only 20 people. He couldn''t help but ask, "What is the reason behind the increase in Primal Soul Realm cultivators?"


    The seventh elder replied with a smile, "The better halves of the elders and some children also started practicing in the arrays leading to the breakthrough. After thest dark dweller encounter, the family members all have been practicing diligently."


    A faint smile emerged on You Xi Wang''s lips. He nodded and the seventh elder sat down. You Xi Wang then asked, "Kill count of the shadows?"


    You Naixin stood up and replied, "Master, Dark Dwellers in The Silica City have been almost cleared. The remaining bugs are too cautious and dare not peek out from their holes. The Croma City forces have also taken action and subdued a lot of Dark dwellers. The shadows have captured 7 and a half dark dwellers alive."


    You Xi Wang raised his brows and asked, "What do you mean by the half?"


    You Naixin spoke, "UMM, that master, this bug was very strong-willed even after it was captured and while I was interrogating it. The bug dared to make indecentments. My hand slipped, and he lost half of his body to my bone saw." she spoke as if this was an ident.


    You Xi Wang finally could not hold it in andugh out loud. Then he suddenly stopped and said, "You let him off way too easily. Anyway, now it''s my turn." as soon as his words dropped his figure rose from the throne and in a sitting posture levitated in the gathering hall. The elders who watched this were shocked. They did all knew that You Xi Wang seemed to have stepped into the Primal Soul Realm.


    You Xi Wang waved his hand and strong coercion radiated from him. He also deployed a soul sense barrier inside the hall. Then five different flowers condensed above his head. The suspended flowers wereposed of five elements, and they were all connected by a golden thread. The elders were shocked and at this moment You Ziyou and the other elders all stood up from their chairs and spoke in unison, "Five elemental Spirit."


    You Naixin was the only one who acted calmly. She spoke, "Control your emotional states. You old coots, do you all want our grandchild to look down on us?" her harsh tone and knife-like words woke up all the excited old men. Their eyes were sparkling, heavy breathing, flush face, and clenched fists. They were all so excited that it won''t be a surprise if their head burst open like a watermelon.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I and Big sis have also stepped into the Primal Soul Realm. Big sis also acknowledged a master. As for the identity of my senior martial aunt and Big sis''s master, that is something Big Sis will tell you all. When we were cultivating inside the Dimension space, the elves gave us some gifts. These gifts will develop the industrial growth of the family. These are the blueprints." with a wave of his hand, dozens of Data Cubes fell on the ground from his space ring.


    He spoke again, "Elders, your respective departments handle these things. But make sure you have the application ready before the battle fest solopetition starts. I will pass these on to the rted Council departments. These techs can only be known by the council elders and not the officials. Also, take this bottle." he tossed a jade bottle to You Naixin and said, "Granny Xin, this bottle contains 2 gallons of spirit liquid. You divide this liquid into three portions and then pour it into a pond, also deploy a gravity array first. Otherwise, the liquid might evaporate in theck of pressure."


    You Naixin, the irondy, looked down at the bottle You Xi Wang tossed to her in such a leisurely manner, and her jade-hands trembled. She was excited. She scolded You Xi Wang, "Brat, how dare you be so careless when handling such a great treasure."


    You Xi Wang smiled and stuck out his tongue. He spoke, "Granny Xin the three ponds will be separately designated, one for males, one for females, and thest one for people above core formation realm. Also, if possible, ce the ponds near the blood shackle tree. That way we can enjoy double benefits. I willter pass on the spirit gathering array disks to you. Deploy them in over the ponds so that the surrounding spirit energy also gets condensed into liquid form."


    You Naixin heard all this and kept nodding. The elders also praised You Xi Wang for his ideas. The boy on the throne spoke, "Alert all the shadows in Croma City, 20 Primal Soul Realm cultivators in the family. We will raid the Mirai Group three days from now. This time we avenge my parents and we wipe out the dark scum. Granny Xin, I hope their business is on itsst leg?"


    You Naixin smiled coldly, "All set. Just waiting for your authorization."


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke in a cold voice, "Let the future change."


    ...


    Outside in the garden, the whole family was gathered, and the atmosphere was jolly. You Zhichi stood with Chen Qianbei both of them held a ss of juice. Chen Qianbei spoke up suddenly, "Xiao Chi, I remember, Bunny had a girlfriend whom I have not met. Is that girl also here?"


    You Zhichi was surprised by the sudden question and subconsciously nodded. Then she thought about it, and indeed even she was not very familiar with Petra. So catching the hint of her aunt, she called Emily with her Holo-Phone. Emily told her Petra was here. She understood what was the purpose of this call and led Petra over to meet You Zhichi and Chen Qianbei.


    You Zhichi was dressed in a midnight blue embroidered dress, wearing ice blue high heels. She had a calm and serene temperament. Next to her stood Chen Qianbei, wearing a stark white gown revealing her bare and blushed shoulders. Her hair fell on her shoulder like a shawl. She had a detached temperament, making it very difficult for people to approach her.


    Just as the two were talking, Emily and Susan led Petra over. After the two greeted Chen Qianbei. Emily made the introductions, "Auntie Bei, this is Petra. Petra, this is Miss Chen Qianbei, You Xi Wang and You Zhichi''s maternal aunt."


    Petra was wearing a full-sleeved golden brown gown that had a ssy texture. Reflecting off some radiance from the surrounding lights. Her gown had a slit on a side, for easing up the movement of her slender legs. She had no make-up on, not that she needed it. Her hair was curly tonight. She looked exquisite. But at this moment her pretty face was slightly pale as she stood in front of the torch-eyed Chen Qianbei, who was looking at her as if she was a prey while Chen Qianbei was the hunter.


    Just as Chen Qianbei was about to give her the generic threat of being good to my son and all. Two cherry voices rang out, attracting everyone''s attention, "Big Brother (Xixi) you arete."


    The protagonist has arrived, and the party has officially kicked off.

 Chapter 202: Party.

    Chapter 202: Party.


    You Xi Wang appeared and was immediately taken ''Hostage'' by the two girls and was dragged to the dance floor where he had to perform ball dance with the two of them. On the side, all the family members were watching this with a smile on their faces. Soon, they all joined in the fray and the family truly started celebrating. The elders also took their wives to dance as well.


    Petra wanted to dance with You Xi Wang as well but she stood quietly beside Chen Qianbei and You Zhichi. To add to her troubles the fiery gowned You Naixin also teamed up with the two women to talk to her. They have been asking Petra a lot of questions and this was something they all did for fun. How was Petra to know that these two beautifuldies were actually teasing her?


    She replied to all the questions ''the holy trinity'' asked her. You Xi Wang came to her side just when You Naixin wanted to ask more questions. Watching You Xi Wang squinting his eyes at the three of them. They realized that You Xi Wang has seen through them. He then nced at Emily and Susan, who stood beside Petra. Thedies also avoiding his gaze.


    You Xi Wang walked up to Petra and in a soft voice said, "Petra, would you like to dance with me?" and before Petra even had the chance to refuse and continue her chat to impress the threedies, You XI Wang grabbed hold of her willow waist and guided her to the dance floor. This gesture was enough to tell thedies that he was upset with them. After all, it has been an hour. Are you familiarizing yourself with the girl or chasing her away.


    On the dance floor, You Xi Wang stood facing Petra in front of her. His left palm rested on Petra''s waist while his right hand was extended outwards and supported Petra''s left hand. Petra''s right hand traced You Xi Wang''s left-hand vertically parallelly and rested on his shoulder. The two started moving in tandem at a slow pace. Their eyes were locked with each other. You Xi Wang choose this slow pace because he wanted to talk to her.


    He spoke directly in her mind, "Petra, are you upset with the way my family behaved?"


    Petra wanted to reply to him but observing that You Xi Wang spoke directly into her mind, she understood that he might want to keep their interaction a secret, as to not offend anyone. Her heart warmed to see that this boy was making such an effort to diffuse the situation. You Xi Wang raised her hand overhead and then Petra swung one round before the two returned to their previous rhythm.


    Petra was a core formation realm cultivator and she was not equipped with a system so how could she use a soul sense. You Xi Wang had a five elemental body which was something unheard of through the history of the. So, let''s leave him aside. The handsome devil sensed Petra''s helplessness and spoke, "You blink once for yes and twice for no."


    Petra smiled as she heard this and blinked once. You Xi Wang and the beautiful girl kept interacting in secret and suddenly Petra noticed that there was no sound around them. She nced around and saw that the two were hanging in the air. Her eyes widened and she screamed in fear. Well, the scream stopped when You Xi Wang spoke, "Calm down, it''s me."


    Petra suddenly fell silent and nced at You Xi Wang with surprise. She spoke, "You reached the Primal Soul?"


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. Petra sighed and said, "You won''t really let us people live happily would you?"


    The boy chuckled. Then they continued dancing without any music and not caring about the world at all.


    ...


    On the ground, the people stood speechless, as they witnessed You Xi Wang using wind spirit energy as a support, and then slowly amidst their dance the two people were already high in the sky. The two people looked exquisite as they danced in the void. You Xi Wang also used ice element, whenever he or Petra made an extension or a sharp turn their body trail would be disyed by tiny ice crystals. The spotlight was reflected off these crystals and the scene was as if a fairy tale.


    Celestia spoke to all thedies standing behind the two girls, "Grandma Xue, Aunty Tina, why do I feel like big brother is teasing you all?"


    They all nced at the little girl, dressed in a blue and white gown looking like a doll. Granny Xue asked with a smile, "Tia st three words of Celestia) why do you say so, my dear?"


    Celestia shook her head as she sighed like an elder. Lily beside her spoke up at this time, "Why are you people so innocent, granny? Xixi is obviously showing off in front of you. Isn''t Grandpa Qiangda also primal soul realm? Why doesn''t he treat you like this? Dancing in the void looks so cool."


    These words were like a small knife stabbing right inside their hearts. They all were primal souls and so were their husbands. So why can''t they dance in the void? A fire lit up in their eyes and they all left to drag their respective husbands from the ''BOY CLUB''. As soon as thedies left the two girls smirked and without even looking they high fived. They were just about to celebrate their achievement when out of nowhere YOu Fengxian grabbed a hold of their tiny ears.


    The two girls screamed, though You Fengxian did not use any force on them it was still a little painful. The two girls begged her to let go.


    Celestia: It wille out, it wille out, sister Feng. Let go please, I apologize.


    Lily: Mom, I am sorry, we won''t do it anymore. Please let go. Do you want me to look like an elephant rat?


    And a dozen of more silly excuses and apologies rang out in the garden. When this punishment was being dealt none of the people noticed butter they spotted two little girls rubbing their ears with a pout on their face. You Xi Wang bought Petra back on the ground but did not go to meet the Holy trinity. He mingled with his cousins ying and teasing each other. You Zhichi sighed at this behavior and beckoned Petra to her side.


    Petra walked over to her side with restraint in her heart. You Naixin spoke, "Girl, do you see how that brat is acting all indifferent to us? This is all because of you." although her tone was calm her words made Petra feel guilty. The girl has already been ''interrogated'' by the three and now she even made You Xi Wang push his family away. At this moment a voice sounded, "Granny Xin, stop bullying our sister."


    Yuki wearing a shining white Yukata came to them. Ushijima Choma and Takeshi Kinben also followed her in their traditional outfits. Yuki took Petra''s arms in her own and spoke to her, "Sister Petra, don''t be sad. They are teasing you."


    Petra still did not believe her and kept her head low. Chen Qianbei raised her hand and patted her back, she spoke in a soft motherly voice, "We apologize to you Petra. We were teasing you. Xi Wang has told us that your sensitive nature. We just did not know that it was as such."


    Petra was so close to crying at this moment Celestia and Lily came over and asked, "Oh, is this sister Petra?"


    Petra instinctively nodded. Lily and Celestia exchanged a nce and beckoned Petra to squat down a bit. Then just as Petra squatted down to their level, Celestia coughed and patted her head, then deliberately deepened her voice and said, "Good girl, you look very pretty. Looks like our tickle monster found himself another gem. Be good and if he bullies you,e to us. We will teach him for you."


    Lily also followed her lead and spoke, "Yes, what she said, you tell us and we will teach that brat a lesson."


    The two were not aware that You Xi Wang was standing just behind them as they did all this. Petra knew this but she was told to be sincere and not raise any rms. You Xi Wang spoke as the two little grannies finished talking, "Oh, so who will teach me a lesson."


    Celestia threw Lily under the bus while Lily did the same to Celestia at a moment''s notice, and then ran away. You Xi Wang chased them leisurely as the threeughed. Takeshi Kinben watched this and then couldn''t help butugh. He rarelyughed but he was affected by the antics of the two little girls. Hisughter was followed by everyone else.


    The whole night was spent as such. Yuki herself exempted You Xi Wang from apanying her on a night stay. She said that they would do itter after the finals of the solo battle are done. Also, she actively asked if she could take part in the raid YOu family will conduct on the Mirai Groupter on. She proposed that You Xi Wang pardon the innocent, which was agreed on by everyone.


    After the party the atmosphere became tense. You Xi Wang was waiting to conduct the raid on the Mirai Group as well as the Colt family. He wanted to erase Edward Colt from this whole cycle of life and birth but not without torturing him for a decade at a minimum.

 Chapter 203: The Preparations.

    Chapter 203: The Preparations.


    Two days after the party banquet You Xi Wang was now sitting on his throne. His aura was that of a monarch. Beside him on the guardian''s chair sat his sister, You Zhichi. Today, among the elders a few extra chairs were ced for the ''allies'' to sit down.


    You Xi Wang''s maternal grandparents and his uncle were sitting among the ranks. Mu QIngling sat beside You Naixin and Chen Qianbei stood behind the two. The youth forces of the You Family stood in the center of the gathering hall. Everyone was dressed in their battle armor, ready to rush to the Croma City and destroy the Mirai Group.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "At first I wanted to allow the core formation disciples in the family but not anymore. I will lead the phantoms inside the office building and dealt with Edward Colt. Building. The other primal soul cultivators will attack the Colt family household. You all have the level five space locking arrays in your hand. Deploy it before you infiltrate the ce. Use some people to clear any fish escaping the. The rest get in and kill. There is also a sound istion array among the three disks I handed to you guys. As for the third array, it is a detection array. Use it first before entering to scout if any Nirvana Rebirth Realm cultivator is hiding inside the Colt Family. Do you have any questions?"


    "<strong>No, Young Master." </strong>The crowd shouted loud in response to his call. You Xi Wang stood up from his throne. The elders also stood up. You Xi Wang spoke at this moment, "Let''s go, avenge our grievance."


    Then he walked out of the gathering hall. The others also dispersed to regroup once more and talk about a detailed n. You Xi Wang left the responsibility of this team to You Naixin and his maternal grandfather. While in his team You Zhichi and Chen Qianbei were the two more Primal Soul Realm cultivators other than him. Chen Qianbei was the second inmand. Fenny was ying the technical helper this time around. She had already prepared some very interesting weapons for the family to be used in the raid.


    ...


    In front of You Xi Wang, Emily, Susan, and Petra stood with a smile on their faces. Susan took the lead and said, "You go ahead and deal with these people carefully okay?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and nodded to her. The other two people also spoke such words and got the same reaction from the boy. They understood that at this moment he wanted to calm his mindset to deal with the people in the ss building. Only then can this n go unfretted. After the small talk, they all left the room to busy themselves with their work and distract their minds from worrying. Lest it affects You Xi Wang. Fenny and the other phantom team members also arrived at the You Mansion at this moment.


    Maya appeared from the shadow and spoke to You Xi Wang, who was practicing Tai-chi, "Brother Xi Wang, the phantoms are here."


    You Xi Wang nced at her and nodded with a smile. He patted her head and then walked out of his room. The phantoms were gathered in the training field of the mansion. They all watched as the disciples in the family practiced hard using the arrays. At first, they were surprised by the changes in the You Family but they all understood that You Xi Wang must have been the reason behind all this. He was a monster when it came to battle prowess and he wanted his family to be the same as well. Just as they were all immersed in their thoughts they heard an indifferent voice from behind them.


    "You brats look better than you did back at my field." It was Chen Longxue, You Xi Wang''s third maternal grandfather. He walked up to the 14 people with an unhurried pace and checked them all out from head to toe. He nodded to them with a smile.


    Hercules and Neo both came forward and bowed, "Disciple(s) have seen master." the rest of the phantoms were surprised to see this. The two boys addressed Chen Longxue as Master and not senior. That meant they have been epted by Chen Longxue to be his disciples during the training.


    Chen Longxue nodded again and asked, "Brats, how is your training going?"


    The two replied simultaneously, "It is going smoothly, Master."


    Chen Longxue started to chat with the group of people when You Xi Wang arrived with Maya behind him. He did not disturb them but stood aside and watched the whole process calmly. After half an hour Chen Longxue finished directing the people with some of their queries about mind cultivation or physical tampering. The old man nced at You Xi Wang who watched the whole process without speaking a single word in between. He was smiling at the old man lightly.


    He spoke, "Third grandpa, are you not participating in the n discussion?"


    Chen Longxue shook his head and spoke with a faint smile, "Xiao Wang, you know me. I am the muscle while your second grandfather is the brains."


    You Xi Wang smiled along with him. After a casual small talk, the old veteran left. You Xi Wang took his friends to the guest hall of the mansion. He created a soul sense barrier around the room and asked Fenny, "Bro, is it done?"


    Fenny nodded and with a wave of her hand, dozen of handguns came out of her space ring and ced on the table in the center. The guns looked like any normal handgun. An spoke up, "Bro Wang, what is special about these guns?"


    Fenny spoke up before You ever could, "Big Bro An, I made these guns based on Elven tech. This is exclusive to our team only. Until it is actually in production. This gun is called, PH-Sonic. The phasor beam shot from it is only as fast as the speed of sound. I have used sound cancetion arrays to make itpletely silent. Be careful when you use it. This is very powerful. If a Primal Soul Realm is shot in the head with this. That person will die for sure. Also, the ammunition is your spirit energy. The Elves were kind enough to provide us a spirit phasor converter blu print. You can either stuff ten spirit stones shaped like a bullet in the cartridge or directly circte your energy inside. Do take note that spirit stones are equal to only one shot. So you get ten shots per cartridge. Be sure to change the cartridges after use."


    The group was all surprised and shocked to see such advanced weapons for themselves. This was not what they expected when You Xi Wang called them over. After they all picked up a gun You Xi Wang began to talk to them about his n for the infiltration and eradication of the Mirai Group. Everyone in the team had somehow experienced a loss at the hands of the Dark dwellers so they all epted to participate in the mission. They did not hesitate.


    Fenny spoke as You Xi Wang''s briefing stopped, "This is theyout of the office build where the HQ of the Mirai Group is located. You all better memorize every nook and cranny of this ce. Even after having this, we cannot be sure of the security measures they may have implemented inside. So don''t lower your guard at all. You all will not be using your Holo-phones during the raid. Only the special set you will be given is to be used. If you are found to be having anymunication device in possession during the raid or after the Holo-phones have been shut down and stored. You will be killed right then and there. I hope none of you let us down. Phantoms don''t need ill-obedient people. If you have any objections then please walk clear of us now."


    The group of people did not expect the rules in the phantom squad to be so difficult but they did not resist and followed the rules set by Fenny. The original Phantom squad had always used such rules and thus they were not surprised or awkward. They just texted home about a trip to celebrate and rest and handed over the Holo-phones to Fenny. The others also quickly followed their lead and did the same.


    The team was set, the preparations were done. All they had to do now was to erase Edward Colt and the dark dwellers inside the Colt family. This was what You XI Wang had wanted to from the moment he found out about Edward Colt''s scheme against his parents. He wanted to calm himself but the blood lust made it very difficult for him. At first, he wanted to seclude him but then decided to do the contrary and came to the race track behind the Celestial Motors. He took his Countach Vehicle to the start line and started to drive the car at its fastest around the track.


    It was unknown how manyps he had done by now. Yet his blood lust still did not recede. At this moment he heard a voice in his helmet.


    "Gougou, calm down..."

 Chapter 204: I Knew.

    Chapter 204: I Knew.


    You Xi Wang''s body shuddered as soon as he heard this voice. It was easy to recognize this voice. It was his sister speaking. He slowed down and parked the vehicle to the side of the track. He did not rush to go back. At this moment his eyes were blood red. His aura was horribly menacing. He did not want his sister to see him like this. So he spoke in a hoarse voice, "How did you know I was here?"


    You Zhichi replied softly, "Do you not know that we are connected?"


    You Xi Wang did not reply to this. After his silence for half a minute, a sigh was heard over the headset. You Zhichi spoke, "Okay, I asked around and tracked you. Also, Maya could sense you."


    You Xi Wang hummed but did not speak. His sister seemed to have been aware of his mood and said, "Nothing good wille out from the desire to kill. You need to rein in your anger or it will make you what you hate the most." her tone was very patient and calm.


    You Xi Wang asked back, "And what is it that I hate the most?" as if trying to ask himself the answer.


    You Zhichi replied after a few seconds, "We have two options, you can choose which thing is more hateful." she was deliberately mystifying it. You Xi Wang might be feeling a strong bloodlust he was still conscious.


    You Xi Wang asked, "What two things?" his tone was a little dejected.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Bell-pepper, and getting old. So what do you want to be? Old or Bell-pepper or an Old bell-pepper." You Xi Wang was surprised to hear this but then he couldn''t help but startedughing. Whileughing he spoke, "Chichi, you suck at joking, you are such a mannequin."


    You Zhichi, who was feeling fairly proud of her pun, got triggered and yelled through the headset, "Who is the mannequin? Brat, dare to tell thisdy where you are. I will break your ass into pieces and then get you some stic imnts. You mannequin ass. Wait where you are." then a loud voice was heard seemingly You Zhichi dumped the headset in the monitoring room and was rushing to her brother.


    You Xi Wang whoughed finally calmed down a little. He stepped out of the vehicle and muttered to himself as he nced at the stars in the sky, "If only..." his eyes had a strange spark, no one knew what he was things about. The time passed as he was lost in his thoughts. Suddenly he felt someone approaching him. He looked and saw his sister descending from the sky. The girl walked up to him with a poker face and raised her hand. You Xi Wang closed his eyes, ready to ept the ping towards him.


    After a few moments instead of a hard p, he felt a warm embrace. He understood that his sister hugged him. He wanted to hug her back but he hesitated. He thought of something and spoke in a low whisper, "Chichi if I tell you that I am not your real brother, but someone who has transmigrated to this world and possessed this body after your brother died in thee?"


    You Xi Wang closed his eyes waiting for You Zhichi to push him away or to say that he was joking. But what happened next woke him up from his blood lust. You Zhichi spoke, "That day at the cemetery, I also saw mom and dad''s soul avatar. I knew that you were not my brother, but while mom epted you, dad asked me to wait and decide for myself. He told me that you will be the one to lead my family to a better future. At first, I was acting in front of you. So that the others do not find out. But as time passed I realized that you were not acting or lying. You were really trying to be my gougou. You know, my brother would have never been able to raise his voice in front of the elders. I always knew why you tried so hard. Was it not for the promise you made with OUR parents. How can I not ept you after all that?"


    You Xi Wang''s figure shivered and tears started to rain from his closed eyes. He asked with a stutter, "When did you ept me?" he was sobbing.


    You Zhichi caressed his back gently and said, "The day you broke the tiles in the guest room using your iron head. I could see that in your eyes, there was a struggle but still you did not regret it. You epted the suffering and pain for my family first. Then you gave up your dignity for me when you kneeled down in front of me. You did not say a word when I sent you to the punishment hall. I am not that cold-heart, gougou. Just like mom said, ''No matter who you are, you are still my little brother and my parent''s second child."


    You Xi Wang did not hold back anymore and he hugged You Zhichi in his arms. He started to cry. It may seem like he has epted his new life but on the inside, he always had this burden over his heart. He wanted to tell someone about his reality. He wanted someone to ept him the way he was. He did not expect You Zhichi to be aware of his identity as a traverser. Today he could finally let go of the burden of being a liar he carried on his conscience.


    After he cried out all his burden. The two people separated. Before things could turn awkward, You Zhichi grabbed his ear and twisted it. She growled and spoke, "Brat, you called me a mannequin? See if you get a synthetic ass after this. All your lovely birds will fly away." the birds were You Xi Wang''s girlfriends.


    You Xi Wang knew that his sister was doing all this so he does not make the situation between them awkward. He exaggeratedly screamed, and spoke, "Oh, lord of heavens, do you see what time hase. First, they crack bad jokes, then bully those who stay true to this. Oh, my ear, OOUCCHHH... NO MORE, BIG SIS, I WON''T MAKE FUN OF YOU AGAIN. OH GRANDMOTHER, OH HOLY ANGEL, LET GO OF THAT EAR, PLEASE." You Zhichi twisted the ear quite hard, theter part of his reaction was authentic.


    After ying around for a bit You Xi Wang gave You Zhichi twops around the track and then they returned home. He really let go of the burdens and the stress inside his heart. He always felt like he was doing all this to pay off the parents or the family for all the love and care they showered him with but tonight he understood that he was just overthinking the facts.


    His parents had epted him the moment he went to the cemetery and his sister, was also not so close to him for any reason but she had epted him as her brother. You Xi Wang drove the vehicle all the way home with a faint smile on his face. You Zhichi did ask him about the things in his old life and You Xi Wang did not hide anything. He described everything from the earth''s culture to the earth''s technological advancement. The trends and the taboos. They talked about a lot of things except the personal life of You Xi Wang. They did avoid this topic deliberately as this topic might disrupt the happy vibe among them.


    After reaching home, You Xi Wang asked Fenny to follow him to the workshop and they started to design a face mask for the phantom team. The beast mask was shaped like a beast. This mask will be equipped with lots of sensors. These sensors will disy all the information on the eyesses of this mask. It was a sort of HUD. You Xi Wang''s mask was shaped like a white wolf with a crescent moon mark between his brows. He decided to engrave space arrays on everyone''s battle suit to save them the hassle to carry the weapons on the move.


    This will increase the team''s maneuverability while reducing their work pressure. Maya and the other beasts were also given some dedicated tools such as armors. Yes, the body armor consisted of, chest and back armor, leg guard above the knees. You Xi Wang also crafted head protection gear for the wolves. These head guards all were equipped with amunication array. The beasts could now contact the whole team and ry important information faster than before.


    ...


    Early next morning, You Xi Wang and his team stood on the top of a ss edifice. It shone like a pir of light as the first rays of the sun hit it. The white wolf mask spoke, "Are you all ready?"


    "<strong>YES.</strong>" the team replied. You Xi Wang said again, "You can go back if you want to cause you may not be able to go back home in one piece."


    The team spoke, "<strong>We Know</strong>."


    You Xi Wang did not say anything but just muttered, "Edward Colt, I havee.."

 Chapter 205: Raid.

    Chapter 205: Raid.


    The hound beasts stood surrounding the building. They all were moving very quickly around. If one observed carefully then they will find that the movements were not random. Rather they were all digging some spirit stones under the grass around the building. The things they buried under the soil were spirit stones given to them by You Xi Wang. They were all arranging a spirit formation around the building.


    It was a level 5 space lock barrier. This formation would lock the space restricting the people inside or outside to escape by using teleportation spells/talismans. Another use was to stop any Nirvana Rebirth expert from interfering. The hounds were natural experts in concealed movement. This is why You Xi Wang tasked them to set-up the arrays and not the humans. The security of the building might alert the people staying inside if they made any mistakes.


    Edward Colt has always stayed inside the top floor of this edifice. He was a man who married the Colt Family and took their name. With his business skills and hard work, he earned the position of the CEO, during that time he spent most of his time inside the office and gradually became used to staying here. This building was more of his home than the Colt Family Mansion. Also, he was confident that no person could get past his security system. Well, that misconception was about to break today.


    The sun has just risen and the people are not properly up. You Xi Wang choose daytime to strike as he did not want to follow the dark dweller pattern of attacking in the night. That was against his dignity. Within five minutes the hounds returned. You Xi Wang spoke to Maya, "Is it done?"


    Maya replied, "Yes, brother Xi Wang. You can activate the array whenever you wish." hearing her words You Xi Wang took out a jade disk from his space ring. He circted his spirit energy inside the jade disk and a translucent barrier formed around the building. The barrier was visible for a moment and then vanished. YYou Xi Wang was dressed in a white battle suit. He pressed on his nape and spoke, "Big sis, what is the progress on your side?"


    You Zhichi replied, "The arrays are deployed, we have checked for all the possible threats. Don''t worry the situation is under control. Grandpa Longxue is responsible for the deployment of the forces and Granny Xin is on stand-by for backup in the required areas. Auntie bei and I are acting aid to the pressured elders. We will attack suddenly in order to take them down. What about you?" although she kept her voice calm, You Xi Wang sensed her deep breaths. The girl was nervous.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a soft voice, "We are about to infiltrate the edifice. You calm down and don''t worry. Also, it is not wrong to be nervous. Just don''t let the emotions take over yourself."


    You Zhichi stayed silent and neither did You Xi Wang said anything. Only after a minute did she speak, "Okay, go now. I have things to do." t may sound like an excuse to avoid the conversation but You Xi Wang sensed her breathing now was calm. He hummed and switched themunication channel. The masks did not reveal the facial features of the team. Their voices were also isted by the arrays You Xi Wang engraved on the snout of the mask.


    You Xi Wang spoke on the Phantom Com channel, "I enter first, disable the security system. You all charge together. Disable the guards as soon as possible. Disable means disable, no killings lest it turned out to be someone who is not a ''dark dweller''. Got it?"


    The rest of the team spoke, "<strong>Affirmative.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang raised his left wrist and the team matched the clock with him. You Xi Wang set the countdown at 30 minutes and said, "After ten minutes, you can enter. I want this thing done and dealt with within half an hour. There are no experts hiding inside. Let''s go." with that said he turned invisible under Maya''s stealth camo and disappeared in the void. The rest of the team started to talk using hand signs. The channel was meant for the only emergency and important messages, not for idle gossip.


    ...


    You Xi Wang stood at the entrance of the building waiting for something. His eyes lit up when he saw a middle-aged man walking towards the security check. Outside the security passage, there was no shadow. So, he could not shadow jump. But this man would cast a shadow and You Xi Wang will jump to it. The man proceeded as predicted and just when he was about to make a turn, a shadow formed below his shoes. You Xi Wang did not hesitate and jumped from the shadow of the barricade to the shadow of that man.


    The man moved his foot ahead and just when it was about to touch the ground and cover the shadow, You Xi Wang popped out and rolled on the ground distancing himself from the man. The whole process was done within a breath and it was seamless. The boy was still covered in camo and was invisible. He knew that he was short on time so he slowly made his way to the reception desk. There his eyes fell on a map behind the two attendants. The map was had some important areas of thepany marked over it.


    The defense control room You Xi Wang wanted to take down was on the tenth floor. The room was equipped with advanced tech that could even detect a fly in a range of twenty meters. The door was a bulkhead lithical iron door coated with three inches of Vibranite, a metal simr to vibranium but with a stone-like texture. It was not possible to break in forcefully, that is until you are a master of material science or can do magic. You Xi Wang was capable in the first one and had a slight gist of the second one as well.


    The stairs are a system of the ancients is what Metropians believed in. They did not have conventional emergency exits in case of fire or earthquake. Instead, these nerdy bastards used something called emergency teleportation arrays. Yes, every cubicle or chair had a teleportation array engraved on it. It was capable of sending away one person. The corridors and the lobbies had slightly bigger ones, two on each side, capable of transporting ten people at a time. These arrays were assigned to transport the people just outside the office.


    You Xi Wang walked up to the elevator but he did not use it. He was now a Primal Soul Realm Cultivator and he was capable of flying. The elevators had no doors as well. You Xi Wang did not waste time and flew up. The tenth floor was also a ce where the security force of the Mirai group resided. Soon You Xi Wang ascended the tenth floor and steadilynded on the floor. He nced around and saw no one. He wanted to move but stood still. The system spoke in his mind, [Good instincts, another Primal Soul was scanning this area. There are three primal souls here. One is inside the guard''s dressing room, another in the defense system room, third is always moving around.]


    You Xi Wang did not react and made his way to the defense control room. On the way, he would stop sometimes, and sometimes he would take a detour through the lobbies. It was all done on the instructions of the system. The system was capable of sensing and tapping into other people''s soulmunication. This way You Xi Wang sessfully avoided the soul sense surveince. After a total time of three minutes, he reached his goal.


    A heavy-looking door stood in front of him. A que marked the door, ''Control Room''. He pressed his hand on the door and his soul sense prated the surface, locked onto the old man sitting inside, in front of the old man the pictures were being disyed on a big screen, constantly changing. You Xi Wang immediately cast an illusion on the man. The illusion was very simple. the man kept looking in front of him as the images kept changing.


    You Xi Wang circted his spirit energy along with his soul energy and started to manipte the Lithical iron inside. The lithical iron block changed its shape slowly and the central lock assembly inside the door unlocked with an audible click.


    You Xi Wang hurriedly pushed the door and entered inside. He was using the illusion so he could not move. He told Maya to dispel the camo and take control of the illusion he had cast over the old man. Maya was a beast blessed in illusion dao by the heavens. So, taking control of an illusion was very easy for her. Plus You Xi Wang was herpanion which made the task even easier. As she took over the illusion You Xi Wang walked up to the old man silently.


    The old man was a primal soul cultivator and he could have reacted if he had noticed any sort of malicious intent on his body but You Xi Wang acted like a dead body. His heart was so calm and collected that his eyes were just like that of a mannequin. You Xi Wang took out his sword from the space ring and with a calm mind, he unsheathed it. The usually fierce purgatory did not react today. You Xi Wang spoke in his mind slowly, "Good, now devour him with silent."


    He pressed the de at the back of the Old man''s head. The dark phoenix spirit drilled into the spirit energy barrier created by the old man and made a hole in it. The old man''s body shivered and he reacted like a lightning sh and was about to press a button when his gaze turned dull. You Xi Wang made the dark phoenix spirit devour the man''s brain in a matter of seconds. The process to unlock the door and killing the old man took a total of 9 minutes.


    The system had alreadymanded LUCY to invade the Mirai group and wait for the instructions. You Xi Wang spoke, "LUCY, iste the top five floors and also, allow the people to go downstairs and not back up." a text appeared on the screen in front of him saying, "


    Then he touched a switch on his nape and spoke, "Defense control room, is under control. You are free to raid. Be careful. No killings."


    The team responded, "<strong>Yes</strong>."


    The raid on the Mirai group had started.

 Chapter 206: Bug Slayers Takeover.

    Chapter 206: Bug yers Takeover.


    The me poison killed the old Primal Soul cultivator by directly burning his brain matter. Then You Xi Wang asked the system to upload LUCY inside the Mirai Group''sputer mainframe. This way he took over the defense system of the building and called for his team to strike. Hercules and Neo rushed in first with Luna apanying them. The two were quick to attack and subdue the guards posted on the entrance.


    Neo stunned his target by swinging the halberd in his hand and striking the other person behind his neck. He used the shaft toplete this action as You Xi Wang did not want unnecessary bloodshed. There were two guards beside him as he was dealing with the one other guy, who rushed to press the rm button on the wall to alert the people. The man sessfully pressed the button but the expected rm did note. Before his brain could process what might be wrong his world turned ck. He has fallen victim to Hercules chop behind his neck.


    The others in the team also entered the entrance and rushed further inside the building past the security check terminal. They closed the main gate and hung the sign ''closed for maintenance'' to stop the people from entering the premises. Given thew and order in Metropia, who could think that some kids wearing battle suits and apanied by spirit beasts would take over the Croma Citiy''s biggest and most high profile office building. That too in the broad daylight, okay early morning.


    Inside there were no employes except for the guards. You Xi Wang had already manipted the mainframe to deliver a message to them all stating that today was a surprise holiday fro all the staff personnel. God knows, from what he was thinking, he even asked LUCY to attach a digital copy of Edward Colt''s signature on the mail. Now, even Edward Colt himself might believe sending out such a notice. You Xi Wang waited for his team to subdue the first five floors and finally he walked out of the control room. All the operation was left to LUCY and remotely under the systemsmand.


    His next target was the Primal Soul Realm cultivator inside the guard dressing room. His team will attack the attention of the wandering Primal Soul Realm cultivator. You Xi Wang wille to there aid as soon as possible he finished dealing with the one inside the room. He moved at a brisk pace. Cautiously to avoid being tracked by the ewandering Primal Soul realm Cultivator. This was because he was not sure to deal with two of these people together. Though thankfully his all attribute spirit energy can burn them all to ashes.


    After avoiding the constant detection from the wanderer You Xi Wang reached the gates of the guards locker room. He was about to push it open when the door was flung at him with extreme force. He did not have the time to dodge. The door smashed his body and he was flung to the wall behind him.


    <strong>THUMP</strong>


    A figure in ck clothes shed and the door was flung away with a wave of this man. But You Xi Wang was missing from the spot where he should be. The man instantly became vignt and was about to rush away when he sensed someone appear behind him. A spear shed in the ce where the man''s neck should have been. The man was also very decisive, he did not try to counter attack but dodged the iing attack.


    You Xi Wang stood facing the man, The man had gray hair, turbid eyes, wrinkly skin and instead of wearing a battle suit he wore a ck robe. He spoke ina low tone with a shrill voice, "Who are you? What is your motive?"


    You Xi Wang replied after he stood up straight, "Adivsor from Hell? Does that sound good? Dark scum." he controlled the array on the mask snout and spoke. The man in the ck robe rushed to him as soon as he heard this. His palms shaped like ws, he shed at You Xi Wang. The boy in the white suit also did not hesitate and his palms parried the mans ws. Though his palms were covered in a golden glow. The golden glow was obviously the all attribute spirit energy.


    You Xi Wang did not want to push this guy too far, because if pushed too far this guy might be crazy and explode himself like the one who raided the mansion that night. The two people kept fighting. After a few rounds of exchange, You Xi Wang''s breath turned heavy. He distanced himself from the dark dweller. The old man revealed a hedious sneer on his face. He spoke with a snort, "Hump, dark bug? Hahaha... kid, you seem very young and to reach such a level at such a young age. It is indeed a blessing. But your bad luck toe barging in here on your high horse."


    You Xi Wang did not reply the old man and kept taking deep breaths. Another man wearing a ck robe appeared behind the old man who wass ready to attack You Xi Wang. The man spoke in a deep voice, "There are a lot of rats inside. Seems like they have dealt with third brother. Do you need me to help you solve this guy and then we kill the rest of the rats?"


    The old man shook his head without taking his eyes off of You Xi Wang. He spoke in his shrill voice, "Second, go kill the rat and I will deal with this one here. I haven''t exercised this much in quite a few years. Go."


    The other an nodded and simply left to deal with You Xi Wang''s team You Xi Wang had already informed his team to get ready to face the Primal Soul Dark Dweller heading towards them via Maya. The old man tilted his head and spoke, "Come, let''s dance, isn''t that what you young people always say when fighting for fun these days."


    You Xi Wang stood up straight and cracked his neck. He stretched his waist in azy manner. The old man had a weird expression on his face. He sneered at You Xi Wang and spoke, "Ready to ept death in a valiant manner?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and took his stance, a dagger and a gun appeared in his hands. the gun was a traditional Hardballer and the dagger was a little different. It looked like a drill. Three sharp edges curved around and meeting at the tip. This was one of the most lethal des You Xi Wang has seen on the earth so he decided to make himself one here. He controlled the array on his mask and spoke, "Try running your dark energy old bastard."


    The old man was naturally going to fight so he circted the dark energy inside his body. Soon his face changed, he roared at You Xi Wang, "<strong>WHAT DID YOU DO?</strong>"


    You Xi Wang chuckled lightly and spoke, "That golden glow on my hands was not something just for show. Come, lets dance." when You Xi Wang was exchanging blows with this ''thing'' earlier, he secretly channeled a minuscule amount of his all attribute spirit energy inside his body whenever he made contact. This was a but of course situation, whenever people fought they would be invaded by the foreign energy theye in contact with that would be dispelledter during meditation. A dark dweller getting invaded by the all attribute energy. That was just umtion of a poison. It was because of You Xi Wang''s control that the energy did not start purifying the dark dweller.


    Just now while You Xi Wang acted to be pushed back, he let go of the control of this energy and let it be wild. The dark dweller realized that he could not replenish or concentrate it on one point. This rectified his possible self explosion. Also, You Xi Wang was saved of the hassle to counter him then. Now he could just stab and shoot this person a few times, render him useless and then take down his brother. Sounds easy, no?


    The wolf masked boy held the odd looking knife with an inverse grip in his left hand and his right hand was psed around the hardballer''s grip. The old man was mad with rage and rushed towards You Xi Wang. How could he seed in dealing with this cunning war god so easily? You Xi Wang stabbed toward the old man with his dagger and the old man was also a vetran and dodged but this was already calcted in You Xi Wang''s mind.


    He shot a bullet right where the old man stepped and the bulletnded right in the ankle of the old man. The old man winced in pain and was ready to use his w at You Xi Wang. The Phantom was waiting for his move, the odd looking knife shed and stabbed through his hand. Normally it would not have been possible to prate through the hand of a Primal Soul Realm cultivator but the knife was zed with all attribute spirit energy. The dark dweller winced again and lifted his right hand to attack which was shot down with a gun. The bullet was again coated with the all attribute spirit energy.


    The system spoke, [Yo, master, remember how Van Helsing became a werewolf to kill drac? hahaha... your all attribute spirit energy is just like silver to vampires. Phantom Helsing, the demon yer. Oh wait, these guys are not demons but bugs. Bugs yer?]

 Chapter 207: Right Bug?

    Chapter 207: Right Bug?


    The old man had on foot and one hand shot while the other hand was stabbed by You Xi Wang''s dagger. He was enraged and opened his mouth and jumped at You Xi Wang, seemingly trying to bite him. It was just that his efforts were in vain. Maya appeared and shot five ice des at the man. Two prated the spine, two inside the shoulders, cutting off the tendons, and thest one flew around his head and shed his eyes. Now he was incapable of moving, attacking, and also vision.


    <strong>ARGHHH...</strong>


    His screams echoed in the whole corridor. You Xi Wang stored his dagger back in the space array and his fist collided with the bloody face of the old man. The man fell down on the floor with a thump. Maya again cast her snow des, the 4 icicles prated through his hands and feet, nailing him to the ground. You Xi Wang worked inplete cooperation with him and took out a sound istion array disk. The array disk was ced on the old man''s chest. The array disk was powered by a fist-sized spirit stone. The array started working in a blink of an eye.


    You Xi Wang spoke to Maya using the spirit bond, "Let''s go. The other guy needs to be dealt with. He seemed to be stronger than this one." with that said the two moved. After reaching the elevator shaft, Maya hid inside You Xi Wang''s shadow while the boy jumped down. He was able to fly now and steadily descended to the 8th floor where the team was fighting the third Primal Soul Realm Cultivator.


    He was ready to join in the battle but the sight in front of him was quite a pleasant surprise. The dark dweller was missing an arm, his head was bleeding and some holes could be seen on his body. The man roared in rage. Though thanks to the ''sound proofing'' thepany has done by installing arrays between every floor. No one could hear anything outside. As the dark dweller was getting ready to make his counterattack. Two girls in ice blue battle suits appeared behind him. Their swords were covered with ice blue glint. The two girls shed at the back of the dark dweller.


    <strong>RIPP...</strong>


    The swords cut through the man like a hot knife through butter. The quality of the spirit energy of the team was very high after they all took a bath in the spiritke in Elfheim. The swords left two, three inches deep grooves on the back of the old man. Just when the man register the pain and wanted to counter-attack the two girls retreated and what greeted his badly injured back was a thick shower of spirit-enhanced bullets. An and Ihi stood in a distance and their assault rifles fired fire attributed bullets on the back.


    Chemistry 101, anything that registered an intense change in temperature, will deform or break apart. The man was going through the same thing. Dark energy had no temperature, once someone falls on the path of darkness they will have to store this dark energy inside their bodies otherwise their bodies will decay. Only after they reach the core formation will this decay stop. The people who reach Primal Soul Realm will be able to assimte all their physique and soul with the dark energy. The further process is very secretive and the council did not have any information about it because if the nirvana rebirth dark dweller dies, they don''t leave the remains for research purposes, they all turn to ash. Weird but what can you do about it?


    The old man roared, "<strong>ANNOYING ANTS, ARGHHH... DON''T YOU HAVE HONOR TO FACE ME HEAD-ON?</strong>"


    You Xi Wang on the side couldn''t help butugh out loud. He deliberately even undid the sound istion formation on his mask. Thisughter irritated the man even more. He turned to nce at You Xi Wang, blinded by rage he rushed to him. You Xi Wang shook his head and a handgun appeared in his hand. After so many wounds the dark dwellers fighting capacity had gradually decreased. The handgun in You Xi Wang''s hand was the phasor gun Fenny made for the team. Decisively he squeezed the trigger and a beam shed.


    The old man ran up to You Xi Wang and his speed decreased, just when he was two feet away he fell down. A clear hole was visible on the back of his head. The hole was rimmed with sparks. The terrifyingser burned through and the heat was so intense that it melted the whole brain of the dark dweller. A pinkish thick liquid slowly seeped out of the hole. The sword-holding girls saw this and immediately turned their heads away to avoid vomiting.


    The boys were however different they gathered around the corpse and teased You Xi Wang for stealing their kill. An spoke in the team channel, "Alright all of you, we still need to deal with Edward Colt. Let''s go."


    The team replied, "<strong>YES, BIG BROTHER ALLAN.</strong>"


    From the training camp to the survival trial, An had be the ''big brother'' of the team because of hisposed and calm temperament. To this development, the crimson battle suit boy could only shrug his shoulders at them in helplessness.


    You Xi Wang called his sister, "Big sis, do you copy?"


    You Zhichi replied, "Yeah, Xi Wang, go ahead."


    You Xi Wang asked, "How is the progress?"


    You Zhichi replied, "Almostplete, turned out the dark dwellers in this household had imprisoned all the innocent people in the dungeons. We have checked them all. None of the fishes was hiding among them. The elders have killed some and they have kept some. Uncle Takeshi and Aunt Ushijima are here for the follow-up. We are just dealing with the remnants."


    You Xi Wang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Do not lower your guard at all. These bugs hide in the shadows. Hand over the survivors to the council officials to deal with."


    You Zhichi assured him not to worry, and asked, "What is the situation on your side?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Situation under control. Guards are all subdued, two primal souls are killed and one more is disabled. Now advancing to the main objective."


    You Zhichi went silent for a few seconds and then said, "Be careful, I will wait for you. Okay?"


    You Xi Wang felt warmth in his heart and said, "Hmm, see you in a bit."


    The team called for the elevator. They were all Core-formation realm, unable to fly yet. Soon, they all reached the top floor. What greeted them was a door left wide open.


    Beyond the door, Edward Colt was visible as he sat down on a big throne chair with a slight smile on his face. He gestured at You Xi Wang and spoke, "Young Master You,e in. Your progress was faster than I expected."


    You Xi Wang spoke to his team with soul sense, "You all wait outside. Go downstairs, in the corridor, a dark dweller is nailed to the floor. take him outside and inform the council officials to arrive soon. I smell something fishy. Be on your guards. We are at the enemy''s door and our assault went way too smoothly."


    The team wanted to refute hismand but Fenny immediately raised her hand to signal them to shut up. She trusted You Xi Wang''s decisions very well. He did this not only to minimalize the risk of getting the squad inflicted in case something unexpected happened and also to avoid them from holding him back while fighting. No one has seen You Xi Wang fighting to the limit. He has never yet let go of himself while fighting because his tricks will not only hurt the enemy but also his own team too. Today, was different. He would not hold back for anyone''s sake, including himself, let alone his team.


    You Xi Wang did not look back and stepped forward to the door. Yuki wanted to step forward but Snow held her. She shook her head at the girl and said, "Let him go. He has been holding this inside for way too long. If you stopped him today he will definitely never think about you again." she then turned her head to You Xi Wang who was walking ahead and said, "Xi Wang, you bettere back in one piece, we all are waiting downstairs."


    You Xi Wang only gave her a nod. He entered the door and closed it behind him. Calmly walked up to the throne chair ced opposite Edward Colt and sat down as if it was his ce. Edward Colt smiled at him and said, "You look very calm. Are you that confident in killing me?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Being anxious won''t save my troubles. So staying calm is better, at least, it will make some bugs think twice about their moves. Right, Edward ''Bug'' Colt." he ced an extra emphasis on the bug.

 Chapter 208: The War God Spirit.

    Chapter 208: The War God Spirit.


    The two people sat down on chairs facing each other with a calm face as if they were not enemies but taking business. You Xi Wang took off his mask and kept it inside the space array. Edward Colt spoke, "Young Master You, surely has taken after his mother. The eyes are an exact copy. I wonder if Young Miss of your family is also the same."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Hahaha, CEO Edward praised, I ept thepliment. Though I wonder if your excellency would ept my gift as well?"


    Edward chuckled and spoke, "Let me guess? You want to gift me, death?" he stood up and stretched his waist in a leisurely manner.


    You Xi Wang stood up while shaking his head, he replied in a calm voice with a sunny smile on his face, "Death? That would indeed be a splendid gift for you, but what I have in mind is somewhere along the lines of endless torment and misery. I wonder if you fancy that? Dark Scum." thest two words had a cold killing intent zed on them.


    Edward Colt only smiled but the next moment he rushed to You Xi Wang, the boy in white was ready to face him and took a step forward, his left fist shed and met with the punch Edward had thrown on him.


    <strong>BOOM...</strong>


    It was as if an explosion happened, the whole floor shook. The furniture in the office had already flown away and crashed with each other. You Xi Wang did not hold back, and the same was true for Edward Colt. They both did not hold back. Yet this was only the confrontation of their physical strength. None of them had infused the Spirit energy in their attacks. This was the true power of a Primal Soul. A lot of people might step into the Primal Soul Realm, but not all of them could tap into the potential of the realm they achieve.


    From this perspective, Edward Colt was also a genius. To be true, he was a genius before he fell into the dark ways. His mistake was to fall in love with the beauty of a dark dweller. This woman was so cultured and caring that Edward Lost control. The woman even disclosed the fact that she is a dark dweller, after the initial shock Edward decided to abandon everything and follow her to the end. Even at the cost of his humanity. The genius with shiny silver armor, but his armor had a chink in it. The chink was beauty. The chink in the armor became a chasm when he fell to the dark ways.


    From then on he started chasing every beautiful woman he met, and he would do that at any cost. But Chen Limao was his demise. She not only refused his pursuit but also gave him a beating. Chen Limao and You Liangxin were both battle geniuses despite being limited by their realms. They defeated the peak Core Formation realm Edward Colt and repulsed him away. In the end, this bastard still schemed against them.


    None of the people stepped back but began to exchange blows while standing unmoved in their ces. The fists kept colliding and the shockwaves kept generating as the by-product of the blows. Just as You Xi Wang threw another punch Edward Colt opened his fist and grappled You Xi Wang''s arm. He turned and flung You Xi Wang over his shoulder.


    <strong>BANG...</strong>


    The impact of his fall was so strong that the floor was covered with a cobweb pattern. Edward Colt did not wait for You Xi Wang to counter and his fist followed, aiming at You Xi Wang''s forehead in order to deal a fatal blow. You Xi Wang was also not a newbie. He raised his leg and whileying down met with the punch.


    <strong>BAM...</strong>


    You Xi Wang slid on the floor while Edward Colt took three steps back. You Xi Wang stood up and saw Edward Colt punching at him. This time he had dark energy infused in his attacks. You Xi Wang smiled and let go of the all attribute spiritenergy he was holding back from circting inside his body. His eyes turned golden, a golden stream started to flow around his body as if a snake. His fists were now covered with his jade gloves.


    <strong>BOOM...</strong>


    The two figures repulsed each other after a heavy exchange. You Xi Wang took back three steps while Edward took five. You Xi Wang won this exchange. Edward raised his head and wanted to ask YOu XI Wang something but You Xi Wang did not give him any chance of rest or conversing. His figure flickered as he used the azure dragon step and as he appearednear Edward Colt he started to use the Wild Tiger Fist.


    A chain of punches filled with wild and arrogant intentnded on Edwards body who raised both his arms and used them as guards. Though consecutive attack can leave some marks on the iron walls. His ars were covered with Dark Energy which was being eroded slowly by You Xi Wang''s Holy Spirit energy.


    Suddenly, Edward took a sword from his space ring and shed at You Xi Wang who was so close to him. You Xi Wang was in the zone, how could he not see thising? He spun on his right foot, dodge the overhead sh and took out the sword of his own. The sword shed and a phoenix''s joyful cry was heard.


    Purgatory was very happy that she could finally fight Edward, as a spirit weapon, despite being sealed the spirit was aware how the past owner died. The sword sh was so swift that it did not even give Edward a chance to parry, all he could do was to jump backwards to retreat. The two people started to sh using weapons. Edward was on a winning side. He did not have the intent of sword but he did have the sword skills, while You Xi Wang was theplete opposite. The room had now transformed beyond recognition. The walls were filled with sword marks. The ss of the floor to ceiling windows was filled with cracks. the furniture was in pieces. These two were moving all around the room with nothing but battle in their mind.


    Edward was a dark dweller and this was his usual style when battling but You Xi Wang just letting himself lose. His sword attacks were getting smoother with every sh and stab. Just when Edward was about to use his ultimate skill, You Xi Wang let go of all the umted sword intent. He first took back his sword near his waist, stretched out his feet and bend forward. The with a pheonix''s cry he spoke in a low tone, "Pheonix Draw."


    A ck arc shed, Edward did not have time to even process the move when the arc was already past him. The arc did not stop and shed through everything and leaving a groove on both the ceiling and the floor of the room. The lower levels were visible from the grooves.


    Outside the phantoms were gazing at the top floor with slight anxiety. Neo asked Fenny, "Why did you not let us stay with him? What will we do if something happened to him up there?" he has just finished talking when the ck arc of sword intent came out of the top floor and dispersed in the void. Fenny spoke faintly, "That''s why. He will be fine, but if you were in front of him, you might die without knowing what happened. The You Family has agecy, the legacy of the fabled martial spirit."


    Everyone sucked in a deep breath. They all looked at Fenny. She continued to speak, "Once, I and You Xi Wang were ying hide and seek with the other kids in the mansion. I hid in the library, there I found a book. The records of the You family. It is a public knowledge, just a little forgotten with times. They have the martial spirit of The War God. The more they fight, the stronger they be. This is a blessing but the adverse effect is, once they start fighting without any restraints. Anyone who is not their family member, might and can die."


    They all now realized, why You Xi Wang sent them all out. To confirm their theory, "He is trying to awaken the War God. Unfortunately none of his opponent has been able to keep up with him. I hope Edwar Colt helps him otherwise this guy will leave his soul to be tormented for an eternity for real."


    They now understood why You Xi Wang was pushing himself so fast. Anyone who can awaken the ancient martial spirit, they will be an entity who can travel the world without any restriction and fight at different fronts. But the people who awkaened martial spirits are the myths that are only heard and never seen.

 Chapter 209: Awakening.

    Chapter 209: Awakening.


    The team stood outside the edifice. They had just finished their discussion about the martial spirit. Fenny was about to say something when the space outside the space locking array fluctuated. She yelled, "Alert."


    The team immediately fell into formation, secured the captive dark dweller in the middle. The cold weapon holders took the front supported by the gunners. The two brawlers were left free. The snipers took brought up the rear. They switched the sniper guns with spirit bows. As soon as they detected the slightest malice they will take action regardless of the opponent''s realm of cultivation. The space cracked and a woman in a white robe appeared in front of them.


    Yuki spoke, "Who is it?"


    The woman spoke, "It seems that my material nephew has a really good team. I am Animo Albus, You Zhichi is my disciple while your captain is my martial nephew." her words had just finished when Yuki''s echoed with You Zhichi''s voice. The heavenly maiden spoke, "Yuki, my master is on the way to you guys. Also, where is Xi Wang? I tried to contact him but seems like his is out of reach."


    Yuki replied, "I will get back to you in a bit big sis, Senior is already here." the other side replied with a hum and Yuki nodded to Fenny without turning her head. Fenny spoke, "At ease." her words made the team put down the weapons. They all then bowed to Animo Albus, "<strong>FORGIVE US FOR BEING RUDE SENIOR.</strong>"


    Animo Albus nodded in repetition, this team was well disciplined and these kids apologized to her. Even though they were not wrong for being alert this apology signified their stance to her. She took a step forward and the jade stones buried around the building flew over to her. The team became somewhat uneasy, and Animo Albus spoke, "Don''t worry, with me here. I want to see who dares to interrupt the proceedings."


    The team nodded and stood behind her, leaving the sack of a dark dweller whimper on the ground. Animo Albus raised her head to nce at the top of the edifice. She spoke, "Stage two, sword intent. This little guy is indeed a monster among monsters."


    Yuki and the others took off their masks. Neo spoke, "Senior, thank you. You are the first person who did not see this guy as a handsome male god but a monster."


    The rest of the team chuckled and Animo Albus smiled. She found it very interesting that these little guys were not afraid of her identity as a Nirvana Rebirth expert. Well after some thought it was natural. These guys could deal with a primal soul realm cultivator so it was fairly easy to get along with Nirvana Rebirth experts who had a calm temperament. Their cherry mood changed when they heard a soul-shaking wail from the top floor.


    ...


    On the top floor, Edward Colt knelt on the ground wailing in pain. His left hand was on the floor, twitching slightly, detached from the body. In the previous attack, You Xi Wang cut off his hand. He roared and looked at You Xi Wang who was covered with a golden glow. He spoke in his hoarse voice, "You bastard, I will make you regret this." then with his right hand, he fished out a pill and chewed on it. Then he picked up his twitching left arm from the floor and joined it back with his left shoulder.


    The pill he ate was the taboo pill. Rejuvenation Embryo Pill. This pill was capable of healing any amputation. This pill was tagged as taboo because the method to procure this pill was abominable. The blood of 100 fetuses was extracted from pregnant women and then it was refined in a pill along with some other herbs. As described the pill did its work and the detached tissues started to reconnect at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    You Xi Wang still stood calmly, looking at all this as if it had no effect on him. Edward Colt soon stood up and wielded his sword. Then he rared at rushed at You Xi Wang. This time You Xi Wang did not retaliate and just kept fighting with Edward Colt as if it was a sparring battle. Soon the intent of the weapon umted again and this time You Xi Wang did not use it instead he changed his weapon. He did not store purgatory back in its sheath but let it fly in the void and he took out his Divine Thorn (the golden Spear).


    He started to face Edward Colt with his dance of the War God. The battle was intense the two people were dripping with sweat. You Xi Wang had a lot of small and big cuts on his body while the same was true for Edwar Colt. You Xi Wang has been umting the intent of weapons. This umted intent was not to attack Edward Colt. He umted it to awaken the martial spirit sleeping deep in his blood. This was a condition to awaken the spirit. The God of War would only awaken when the pinnacle of weapon intent is sensed and assimted in the blood inside the body.


    You Xi Wang called for the system in his mind, ''System, start assimting the intent of weapons in my blood.''


    The system immediately responded, [Are you fucking kidding me? This shit needs you to be calm and not a battle-raging maniac. How do you expect me to do this?]


    You Xi Wang replied, ''I will keep my mind clear. He cannot affect me. Neither can his bber. I have a way to solve his mouth problem. You just start the process.''


    The system cursed You Xi Wang, still it went on with the process of assimting the intent of the weapon with his blood. While You Xi Wang suddenly exchanged the golden spear with his Mitsubishi dagger leaving the spear out just like his sword. Edward Colt stabbed You Xi Wang, he was prepared for a parry but how was he to know that You Xi Wang would let his sword cut stab through his right pectoral. What''s more shocking was that You Xi Wang even rushed forward to close the distance with him. Then this battle maniac teenager raised his left hand and the dagger in his hand stabbed through Edward Colts lower jawing out of his tongue. If You Xi Wang exerted more strength then this knife could have prated his head. Yet he left him alive to help him umte more weapon intent.


    Inside his body, the system slowly assimted the intent of weapons condensed in his soul sea with his blood. The blood was sharp and if not for the protection and control of the system this intent of weapons could have shredded You Xi Wang from inside. This process needed one to be extremely calm but You Xi Wang was doing this while fighting. He believed that if one wanted to awaken the martial spirit of the War God then he should be in a war to do that, because how could you be a god of war while at peace.


    You Xi Wang was fighting with the mute Edward Colt without holding back. Now the white battle suit was stained with blood and the wounds were hideous. You Xi Wang called for Maya to cast an illusion over Edward Colt to help him catch some breath and allow the system to fasten up the process.


    But Edward Colt was also a genius. He realized what Maya wanted to do when her eyes shed white. He interrupted the process and just like when a high-speed train is abruptly stopped, it will derail. Maya also suffered a bacsh and she coughed up blood. You Xi Wang shared the burden. He staggered and also coughed up blood. Edward Colt saw this sight and was ecstatic. He slowly walked up to Maya step by step with a cruel grin on his face.


    He used his soul sense and said, "Young master You, now you will die like a dog. Hahaha, did you understand?" his crazyughter rang out on the floor. Despite being injured heughed out loud. To him You Xi Wang was dead, on the other side, the staggering boy stabilized. His eyes glowed with golden light. He raised his head to the sky and roared. The roar was so strong that the ss windows shattered directly. Edward Colt was shocked by this sudden change and before losing his consciousness he spoke to Maya with his spirit bond, ''Maya, Hide.''


    Maya had her beast instincts. She cowered when she heard the roar and when You Xi Wang spoke hide. The beast did not dy and ran away using the shadow steps. Inside the room, there was a blinding golden glow.


    ...


    Downstairs, everyone saw the blinding golden glow. Animo Albus spoke, "Call You Zhichi, over. Only she can stop the rampage of the War God. We are all retreating to some distance. Let''s go." her tone was calm but in her eyes was an glint of fear, interest and anticipation. The whole team retreated with her word. They all knew what has happened. The War God was woken up.

 Chapter 210: Wrath Of The War God.

    Chapter 210: Wrath Of The War God.


    Animo Albus cast a soul barrier around the team and herself. She had already asked for You Zhichi to be called by the team. After retracting to a distance, she focused her gaze back on the top of the building. The golden light was still shining and a roar still lingered in the surroundings. She spected that the martial spirit has woken up. She did not waste time and even called her junior brother, Alester Book, toe over soon.


    ...


    Inside the building, Edward Colt witnessed the golden light erupting from You Xi Wang, the intensity of the glow was so much that he could not help but close his eyes. When after a few seconds the glow resided. He was shocked to the core of his maggotish soul. The boy in white armor was wearing a ethereal golden armor. Left hand gripped the spear while the right hand held the sword. His wounds were healed, his hair grew as long as his shoulders in a blink. The hair fluttered without any wind inside the room. His eyes were closed.


    The armor covered his chest with his abdomine exposed, dragon shaped pauldrons rested on his shoulders, the chest te had a turtle head protruding in the center. The shin guards had phoenixes carved in them, the bracers like tiger ws set on his hands. The armor was domineering. Suddenly the boy opened his eyes. His eyes scared Edward Colt. The boy''s eyes were a golden abyss. No pupil or any other parts of the human eye could be seen.


    Edward Colt controlled his fear and ran up to the boy with his sword in his hand. You Xi Wang did not retreat and hed out his right hand. The speed of the sh was swift. Then a ripping sound was heard. The de in Edward Colt''s hand was divided cleanly into two. The sh did not stop only at that but it left wound on Edward''s chest. The diagonal sh started from the waist to the right shoulder. It was so deep that even bones were visible. Theire was no extra blood.


    Edward Colt did not feel any pain for the first initial moments. He knew that he cannot win this fight so decided to run away. He was unaware that Animo Albus had removed the array and did not use his teleportation talisman. His brain was enmassed in fear. He flew out from the broken window and You Xi Wang followed him. The golden armored boy flew up and caught up with Edward Colt in a blink. The boy seemed to be at an higher altitude then Edward Colt. He swung his spear and hit directly on the dark dwellers shoulder. Edward Colt could not evenprehend what happened to him as he fell down from the void.


    <strong>BOOM...</strong>


    A dust cloud formed when Edward Colt fell done on the ground. The team who watched this sight from a distance were frozen. At this moment Animo Albus spoke, "Don''t show any hint of battle or attack. Meditate as you watch the battle. You Xi Wang is not your friend right now." her words woke up all of them. The team understood how scary You Xi Wang could be.


    You Xi Wang stepped up to Edward Colt and his spear stabbed out. The spear started stabbing Edward Colt''s body as hey down on the ground. The stabing spear turned his legs into a fennel. Edward kept whimpering. The war god spirit decided to end it. The two hands were nailed to the ground with a spear and the sword. You Xi Wang craced his knuckles and his fist shed at Edward Colt''s forehead.


    <strong>BANG... </strong>


    The fist did notnd, but You Xi Wang''s body flew out andnded a distance away. The three great families of the Croma City arrived. It was not the main force but the security patrol. They were responsible to maintain order in the city but it was early morning when they sensed the disturbance in the region and when they saw You Xi Wang about to kill Edward Colt they immediately acted.


    A man in blue battle suit flew up to You Xi Wang and spoke, "Good armor kid, it could block my attack. My name is Stephan. I now ask you to surrender otherwise don''t me uncle to be harsh."


    You Xi Wang did not listen to all this and took out a bow and arrow from his space ring. This bow was the one he got from the Elves. Under the influence of his martial spirit. You Xi Wang did not speak but his battle hunger sparked up when the opposite party asked him to surrender. He immediately picked up his bow and shot spirit marbles in a quick session. The other side had three teams. One of which was now stunned for a second. That second was enough for You Xi Wang to tame them down.


    You Xi Wang''s figure shed and he appeared in front of the man who had just sneaked attack on him. The boy held the bow from one end and swung it with both hands at the man''s face. The force behind this seemingly simple swing was so much that it flung the man in air and made him crash with the others behind him. The other two teams were stun silly. They did not expect this golden armored kid to be so strong. You Xi Wang forgot Edward Colt and started his assault on the peace-watchers.


    You Xi Wang was like a hungry wild tiger amidst the pack of sheep. His bow shot spirit arrows and sessfully logded them selves inside the opponents bodies. He used kicks and punches when someone came too close to him. Edward Colt on the side stayed nailed to the ground. He tried to remove the spear and the sword but the intent of weapon and the spirits inside the weapons attacked him everytime he struggled.


    ...


    On the side, beside Animo Albus the space fluctuated and Alester Book appeared. His senior sister did not speak and only pointed her fingering a certain direction. He followed her finger and saw a golden sh moving and fighting a group of people. The speed of the golden figure was at the peak of primal soul realm. This was a boost of the martial spirit. He was fighting with 15 people and it was one side torment for the 15 people.


    Animo Albus spoke to Fenny, who stood beside her, "Where is Chi''er?"


    Fenny replied in a calm voice with her eyes locked at You Xi Wang, "One minute away."


    Animo Albus nodded and saw her junior brother standing beside her with his mouth wide open. She spoke in a cold voice, "Bookworm, don''t lose face in front of the juniors or see how I will make to watch movies."


    Her cold threat woke up Alester Book. He hated watching movies and stuff. This was the torment his senior sister made him suffer everytime he did something she was unhappy with. He immediately regained his senses. He spoke in a serious tone, "This is the fabled martial spirit?"


    Animo Albus nodded and said, "This time, you struck gold. Wang''er was strong at first but if he can tame this spirit to hi sbidding. He will be able to deal with at least one realm higher than him. But he will only get this one chance. That is why i did not interrupt this battle."


    This was their motive, to tame the martial spirit one can only do that when the spirit awakens first time. This was why she did not stop these peace-watchers from engaging him. These three teams were all Primal Soul Realm. They were all experienced in battles and thus they could mingle with You Xi Wang, who was on a spiritual steroid, for so long. the battle was intense. The ground around the Miari Group Office was filled with cratters. One of these cratters had a miserable figure being held down by two spirit weapons.


    You Xi Wang was like a robot with infinite energy. He kept fighting with the people at a high speed and his efficiency was also impable. As the battle continued, the You Family convoy had arrived. You Zhichi spotted her master and the rest. She scurried over to them and after a greeting she asked, "Master, where is Gougou?"


    Animo Albus was yet to react when You Naixin eximed, "God damn it, this brat will make us all get old early. He even awakened the martial spirit of the family." then she greeted the two nirvana rebirth experts. The other elders also followed her lead and You Shanwang asked her, "Granny Xin, do you mean, Xiao Wang woke up the War God spirit?"


    The elegantdy nodded but You Tong eximed with her big eyes, "<strong>WHO ALLOWED HIM INSIDE THE FORBIDDEN SECTOR OF THE FAMILY LIBRARY BEFORE HE TURNED 20?</strong>" her words attracted everyone''s attention and You Naixing sighed. She spoke, "Let me exin."

 Chapter 211: Taming.

    Chapter 211: Taming.


    While everyone''s eyes focused on You Xi Wang who was fighting the three major families, their ears were locked on the words You Naixin was about to speak. The red and ck armoreddy adjusted her breath and spoke, "The martial Spirit in our family is a very mysterious one. There have been cases where people awakened it and their strength increased a lot. This increase in strength was something that made our family be what it is today. The family records only talk about the existence of a martial spirit. They do not record the risk of awakening the martial spirit." after a pause she continued speaking, "If this spirit is not tamed then every time one goes to battle. The spirit will take over, and over time it will make the body weaker. The stress from constant battle hunger will erode the host. In a nutshell, it will limit the lifetime of a person."


    Her words shocked everyone. You Zhichi became particrly anxious when she heard this. Animo Albus sensed her anxiety and said, "Chi''er, calm down. Your brother is trying to tame the spirit. Look at his eyes.". Everyone suddenly noticed that the golden glow exuding from You Xi Wang''s eyes was flickering.


    ...


    Inside You Xi Wang''s soul sea, the boy stood in front of a golden avatar. The golden avatar had a fog covering its face. The avatar was covered in armor simr to what You Xi Wang was wearing on the outside. You Xi Wang was now panting. He did not know for how long he has been fighting with this golden avatar. The system spoke, [Finally, it is working. Go beat this golden fog for me.]


    You Xi Wang rolled his eyes and said, ''Why don''t you try yourself? This thing is so strong.'' as soon as his words dropped the golden avatar charged at him. You Xi Wang sighed and his spirit energy condensed into a Bow and arrow. And he started shooting arrows at the golden avatar while moving. He was kiting so that he could regain some of his spiritual energy.


    The golden avatar was the representation of the martial spirit inside him. It woke up when the system assimted the intent of weapons inside You Xi Wang''s blood. As soon as it appears, You Xi Wang sensed his consciousness being sucked back to the soul sea where he started to fight the golden avatar when the system told him to defeat the golden avatar to gain control over the martial spirit. The system did not hide anything from the master and told him the consequences of beingid back.


    That is why You Xi Wang fought with the golden avatar with no hold bars. He used every possible trick he had in his memory from Wing Chun to Kri, from brawling to weapon sh. Gunfighting and even whips but the golden avatar were capable of imitating You Xi Wang in every aspect. As he and the Golden avatar were busy exchanging the arrows. The system spoke, [How do you win a war?]


    You Xi Wang replied, ''Fighting?''


    The system replied, [Is it just me, or were you really a loser back on earth? Shit head, haven''t you heard, Weapons don''t win the battles, soldiers do.]


    You Xi Wang spat out in anger, ''Can you not preach the fucking art of war? Let me beat this thing first then I will handle you, foggy swine.''


    The system was triggered, [Who did you call a foggy bastard, you meatball? Concentrate on the fight as to not get your ass kicked.]


    You Xi Wang ignored the system and focused on fighting the golden avatar. The time flow inside the soul sea was different than the outside. As the two entities kept exchanging blows they forgot about everything.


    ...


    Outside, You Xi Wang''s body was getting slower and slower as he fought with the peace-watchers. A person sneaked up to You Xi Wang''s side and gave him a hard kick. The impact was so strong that You Xi Wang flew out and fell down on the ground. Then he did not move. The peace-watchers were so enraged by him that they charged at him. They wanted to break every bone in this boy''s body.


    Alester Book shed and he came next to You Xi Wang. He spoke to the charging warriors, "This matter ends here. Don''t disturb my disciple."


    The man in charge of the three teams spoke, "Who are you? State your purpose." his eyes were brimming with anger but his tone was calm.


    Alester Book waved his hand and tossed an identity badge to the peace watcher. He spoke, "Is that good enough?"


    The peace watcher nced at the badge and wanted to throw it down on the ground but his colleague spoke, "Yes, Elder Book."


    The in-charge looked at his colleague, who told him the identity of the old man with telepathicmunication. The in-charge was shocked, then he bowed to the old man and asked for the reason behind all this fuss. Alester Book co-operated and told them all about the involvement of some big level Dark Dwellers, he also asked them to cordon off this area and not to let the information leak out.


    The peace-watchers immediately sprang up into action and left to aplish what the old man asked from them while they transmitted the details to their respective family highmand. Meanwhile, Alester Book did not rush to help You Xi Wang and withdrew from the scene. Only You Zhichi and You family members were allowed to stay near him. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Despite being unconscious You Xi Wang''s martial spirit would not harm his kin.


    You Naixin and the elders observed You Xi Wang''s armor and hair. They all exchanged a nce and decided to talk when they get home. Some young disciples of the family stood guard of Edward Colt or what was remaining of him. The two weapon spirits were constantly eroding his strength and physique made by the dark energy.


    ...


    Inside You Xi Wang''s soul sea. The golden avatar was now full of cracks and You Xi Wang had used all his cards except for one. He suddenly made up his mind and rushed to the golden avatar. He formed a w with his hand and shed it at the golden avatar. he used his strongest attack, the dao ws.


    Five golden arcs attacked the golden avatar. Time froze, the golden avatar slowly crumpled into particles of the golden light. These light particles flow around You Xi Wang forming a whirlwind.


    ...


    On the outside, You Xi Wang''s body started to levitate in the air. Golden light particles started to appear around him like dragonflies. These particles formed a whirlwind around him just like inside the soul sea and slowly started to merge with You Xi Wang. The process was exquisite. The family members who were near felt their strength soar.


    You Tong spoke, "Why do I feel like my strength has improved qualitatively?"


    You Naixin spoke, "This is the baptism of the martial spirit. All of you start running your spiritual energy but don''t lower your guard. We don''t know if there are maggots hiding in the shadows."


    <strong>"YES, GRANNY XIN"</strong> replied the youth of the family.


    The phenomenasted for five minutes and You Xi Wang''s body came down from the void. The boy stood on the ground steadily while the armor on his body shone even brightly than before. He opened his eyes and inside his ck pupils, a sh of golden lightning could be seen. He had tamed the martial spirit. Invisible coercion radiated from his body and all the weapons started to tremble slightly.


    You Zhichi eximed, "Boon of the weapon master."


    This was one of the three boons the martial spirit blessed the host with. The boons will always be different, it will always be something a person iscking. You Xi Wang had it all but inparison to his undaunting will and five elemental physique, his weapon mastery was dull. Just as the people were about to rejoice five silhouettes appeared in the sky. They all wore ck robes.


    You Xi Wang, who had just awoken, looked up. Before anyone else could attack, Animo Albus appeared in the voice opposite the five, and behind her stood Alester Book.


    A dark dweller spoke in a low voice, "I did not expect two experts to be here."


    You Xi Wang flew up in the sky and his sister followed. Hemunicated with his master using telepathy. Alester Book agreed to his proposal and said, "Since you came here to win back Edward Colt, we will give you a chance. Anyone of you under Primal Soul Realm can challenge my disciple to life and death. We will not interfere but if your side yed tricks we won''t blink to destroy you all."


    The dark dweller with a hooded robe spoke in a low voice, "We agree. May the best win. Let''s have a duel to death."

 Chapter 212: The Horror Of Dark Dwellers.

    Chapter 212: The Horror Of Dark Dwellers.


    Everyone standing down on the ground was stunned when they heard Alester Book''s proposal. Even, You Zhichi was surprised with what her brother came up with. She nced at him and spoke to him using Telepathy, "Are you for real? Brat, do you think that by awakening the martial spirit you have be invincible?"


    You Xi Wang replied to her, "Yes, in the same realm, I am invincible. You will see in a few moments big sis. Rx."


    You Zhichi wanted to stop him but the dark side agreed to the proposal. Alester Book spoke, "Who is going from our side?"


    You Xi Wang flew from behind the two elders to their front. This gesture was enough to tell them his stance. The dark dweller looked at his side and a Primal Soul dark dweller flew forward. The dark dweller let out a peal of shrillughter, "Hehehe, kid, I will make sure you meet your parents tod..."


    His words were cut short, before anyone could react a whip of spirit energy condensed around his neck and tightened. The other end of the whip was held by You Xi Wang, who tugged him over andnded a strong punch right at his face. The dark dweller flew away but still bound by the whip. You Xi Wang again pulled him up. A dagger shed and You Xi Wang brutally stabbed the dark dweller in his chest and gut over a hundred times in a matter of mere second.


    This whole thing only took five seconds. You Xi Wang''s moments were smooth and calm. He changed his dagger with a handgun and shot the Dark dweller in his legs crotch and hand. The other party was going through so much pain that he wanted to die but You Xi Wang suddenly stimted his heal acupuncture points, stopping him from dying. You Xi Wang stopped and spoke, "You maggot, how dare you speak of my parents with your filthy tongue?"


    With that said he raised his w-like bracers and reached out into the dark dweller''s open mouth that was left uncovered from the hood. He grabbed his tongue and ripped it out. The people in the surroundings heard a ripping sound. They all felt a chill down their spine. You Xi Wang right now was a demon reincarnate. But the boy in the golden armor did not bother with their looks. He then transmitted a strand of Holy Spiritual energy inside the dark dweller''s body and soon he turned into ashes flying on the horizon.


    Throughout the torment, he was not given an opportunity to let out a single wail of pain. You Xi Wang dealt with him with ease. The leader of the dark dwellers was incensed. He could not believe what the boy in front of him did but the moment You Xi Wang let out the holy spirit, this man was ovee by a sense of dread. He decided to kill this boy today by any means necessary, otherwise, he will be a great enemy in the future.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Why don''t all of you cockroaches gather together to fight? Expect for the queen bug, I''ll take you all together. Just squash you under my shoes." the system spoke [Fuck, boy your skill to trash talk has upgraded.]


    You Xi Wang retorted, ''Shut you foggy. Daddy is busy at the moment.'' he was telling the truth, thest assault may have looked easy but it was difficult. Well, he may have tamed the martial spirit but he was not yet used to its power. Any single opponent was not enough to make him progress so he called out the remaining three. His n was a sess, the three primal soul dark dwellers were revved up and they all charged at You Xi Wang like dirty poisonous insects. What happens to insects? They are squashed.


    You Xi Wang turned and delivered a roundhouse kick to the temple of the dark dweller on his right while he was spinning two hands took a hold of two handguns from his space ring and shot the two on his left side.


    <strong>BANG, BANG...</strong>


    Just two shots and the dark dwellers stopped. They were also experienced and dodged the bullets. Their slightest dy in charge was enough for You Xi Wang to deal with the guy who suffered from his kick earlier. The boy took out a bow from his space ring and in a blink of an eye he condensed three arrows on the helm and shot.


    <em>PUCHI, PUCHI, PUCHI.</em>


    The tree arrows hit the two eyes and throat of the dark dweller. The arrows were all holy spiritual energy. They purified the ck Primal Soul inside the soul sea of the dark dweller. A shrill wail echoed in the surrounding as the primal soul was being killed. The people were all stunned. They could not believe that You Xi Wang who was only in early stages of the Primal Soul Realm just dealt with two dark dwellers as if they were chickens. Several of the team members gulped and even the Youth of You Family had their gaze filled with admiration and awe. If not because of the Nirvana Rebirth Dark Dweller, they all would have yelled in cheers for their family leader.


    The other two dark dwellers did not stop in their assault and appeared near You Xi Wang. The boy held the end of the bow, induced the intent of sword in his bow and shed it at the two people. Animo Albus saw this and she eximed, "Weapon Master."


    Alester Book, on the side, smiled with pride. The phantom teams stood beside them were confused and thus Ihi was pushed forward to ask, "Senior, can you tell us what is this weapon master?"


    Alester Book nced at him and the whole team. Then he spoke, "Weapon master, a realm of attainment where a person can use any weapon to disy the character or skills of other weapons. For example, shing the bow like a sword. Also, all of you brats, learn from your senior sister You Zhichi and team captin. Read more."


    Although he scolded the team but the team was right now lost in envy towards You Xi Wang. Hercules spoke, "Why do I feel like the next training session will just leave us with half inch of life." immediately after it the whole team cursed, "<strong>SHUT UP CROW MOUTH.</strong>"


    ...


    While in the air, You Xi Wang was battling with the two dark dwellers. That was not the highlighting part. The thing was that he fighting so fast that the people below the primal soul realm couldn''t watch his movement at all. To them You Xi Wang was a golden blur and the two dark dwellers were ck blurs. Animo Albus spoke to You Zhichi, "Chi''er, I have to say, your brother is a portege. He is improving constantly with every punch and kick."


    You Zhichi smiled and replied, "Thank you master. I hope that mom and dad are watching this. Today he haspleted his oath of taking revenge on Edward Colt." as she said that she gazed at the blue sky and on the inside she thought, ''Dad, you were right, he became my brother in the truest sense. Also, please bless him and watch over us.''


    Then her eyes shifted to the battle and she spoke to her brother with telepathy, "End it, I am hungry. Celes made a cake."


    In the sky, You Xi Wang stopped and looked back at his sister in askance. You Zhichi nodded. The two dark dwellers yelled, "<strong>BASTARD, DARE TO BE DISTRACTED.</strong>" and they charged at You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang simply waved his hand and his spear and sword flew to him in a sh. he spoke, "Guard Edward Colt, if he eloped, you all will be punished by the familyw." this sentence scared his cousins and they immediately took out spirit blocking cuffs and arrested the miserable Edward Colt. For the sake of assurance they even carried him to where Animo Albus and Alester Book stood.


    You Xi Wang gripped his two weapons. The weapons trembled with joy and two spirits condensed above You Xi Wang''s head. A golden dragon and a ck phoenix. You Xi Wang saw the two dark dwellersing at him and made his move. The two weapons, zed in holy spiritual energy, stabbed forward.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a low voice, "<strong>Destruction Stab.</strong>" another one of his created moves. A beam of holy spiritual energy came out of the weapons blended within was the intent of weapon. The beam was as thick as a thigh. It hit the two dark dwellers and spread all over them like golden quilt which put them to sleep, an eternal one.


    The beam dispersed after a few moments leaving behind nothing. It destroyed the dark dwellers on a cellr level. You Xi Wang nced at the Nirvana rebirth level expert standing in the sky and said, "Since you came, you might as well apany your kin. Master." the opposite party had already leaked out a strong killing intent towards him and how could Alester Book leave a future trouble?


    You Xi Wang''s words finished and the old man waved his hands. He created a cage of space cracks. This sort of thing cannot be done in one fell swoop. So, the old man created micro space cracks around the dark dweller leader as the juniors fought and now he just connected them all together. He spoke, "Void Cage."


    The next moment, Dark Dweller started to try and force his way out of the cage but to no avail. His body eroded slowly and he kept wailing. You Xi Wang''s gazended on Edward Colt and he let out a dazzling smile. Edward Colt knew he was finished.

 Chapter 213: Coming To A Closure.

    Chapter 213: Coming To A Closure.


    You Xi Wang flew back to stand with his sister after Alester Book dealt with thest Nirvana Rebirth dark dweller. He nced at his master and was about to say something when the space cracked and Achilles arrived on the spot. He nced at Animo Albus and bowed slightly. Thedy only nodded, stating that she was the senior here. Achilles then spoke to Alester Book directly, "What the fuck happened here?"


    Alester Book spoke, "My disciple exercised revenge on some white-cored Dark Dwellers."


    Achilles'' gazended on You Xi Wang. The boy bowed and spoke, "The junior has seen Council Elder." his sister and all the phantom team members and You family forces bowed slightly. Despite the appearance, every one of these three people was a few centuries old. This respect was earned by sheding blood and sweat. The spiritual energy in the beginning was not abundant and the understanding of dao was shallow as well. You Xi Wang and the others could be said to have born in the era when the spirituality of Metropia was reviving. Yet this era was not chaotic as the revival of spirituality was not happening for the first time.


    Throughout the history of the there has been resurgence in spirituality and dao understandings. It was this chain of high and low that made the ancestoral experts understand that if they kept fighting each other it will spell disaster for the world and the people in it. Thus established the council of metropia.


    Falling back to our story, Achilles asked You Xi Wang, "Child, why did you not call the council for support?" his tone was calm and still.


    You Xi Wang replied, "Senior, this guy dared to take away my parents from me. Then he set eyes on my sister. I had to kill him and every single dark scum in his circle. The council code ofw allows one to exercise revenge on the dark dwellers by themselves. Plus I did not want to move the gaint like the council to deal with this scum."


    Achilles nodded and then he turned to Animo Albus, "Senior Animo, ording to your information. We located this person''s wife. How do you wish to deal with her?" this statement shocked You Xi Wang a lot. He nced at te cold graceful figure standing beside him. Animo smiled faintly at him and said, "Achilles, hand over that insect to my disciple and her brother. It is a gift to them from me."


    Achilles nodded and a cage appeared in front of everyone. Inside the cageid a woman, she was unconscious, her ck hair were scattered all over her face and she had a good figure. Expect for some wounds on her body she was definitely a beauty. You Xi Wang''s gaze was fixed on her. You Zhichi patted on his shoulder and spoke, "Thank, master. Deal with herter."


    You Xi Wang directly knelt down in front of the three council elders and banged his head nine times on the ground. The youth of the You family and four original phantoms followed his actions. You Xi Wang got up only after the rest of the people were done knocking their head. The three elders understood why the You family youths would bow down to them but the four from the phantom team doing the same made Alester Book ask, "Childdren, why do you kowtow to us?"


    Neo nudged An, who spoke, "Senior, Xiao Wang, has done a lot for us. Sometimes he would brave dangers to save our lives or sometimes to just teach us something. It is because of him that we have achieved the strength we have today. His parents also, always treated us all as their own so in a way you have helped us too. Please ept our kowtow." his words immediately made the three understand that the children reacted this way because of the virtue of You Xi Wang''s parents. They nodded and with a thought they made everyone stand up.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, can we leave now?" he tried to hide but the chill in his voice was obvious. If it was left to him he would have started to torture this couple of bugs right here right now. Everyone sensed his killing intent boiling. Alester Book nodded and spoke, "Let use along with you."


    He waved his hands and Edward Colt was thrown inside the cage along with his wife as well. Then the cage closed and vanished in thin air. The space ring these three guys had were capable of storing living things. These rings were exclusive on to the elders of the council. Then the group of people boarded the vehicles. You Xi Wang drove his car with his sister sitting shotgun. The vehicle ran very fast. They were tired after the battle and You Xi Wang had no spiritual energy left to fly thus they chose to drive.


    It took them four hours to get back home. Inside You family mansion the whole family was standing to wee them and everyone else. It was now noon. Celestia stood in front holding a big cake with You Fengxian''s help. She spoke, "Big brother, see I made the cake. You won write?"


    You Xi Wang nced at You Fengxian who said while blinking at him, "You won the race right?"


    The kids in the family were not told about the raid and thus they made the excuse of a race. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Celes, sweetheart, how about we cut the cake after everyone has taken a bath? It will taste better then. Also, this red bean jelly looks very good." he praised her with a smile on his face. His words made all the children cheer. You Zhichi on the side told him with telepathy, "They all bought the ingredients with their own credits and they made it by themselves too. All the kids shared and contributed."


    He was touched and spoke, "Okay, since you all made something for us, Big brother will cook something for you. Okay?"


    The kids cheered again and then they took the cake inside with You Xi Wang. The elders went straight to the gathering hall. The kids were asked to go and rest while every single cultivator of the family was asked to be present in the gathering hall. You Xi Wang stepped inside the hall and spoke lightly, "Maya."


    Ever since that moment in Edward Colt''s ce when You Xi Wang awakened his martial spirit, Maya has been hiding inside his shadow. Although at first she ran outside but when she thought about You Xi Wang facing the danger alone she came and hid inside the shadow. Now that the boy called her name she appeared by his side looking as graceful as ever. She walked up to the throne with You Xi Wang in the lead and sat down beside his feet. You Zhichi sat on the chair designated for the guardian of the family.


    Alester Book, Animo Albus, and Achilles were given a chair next to the elders of the family. The rest of the people all stood behind the elders. Achilles asked Alester Book in surprise, "This family follows the code of four mythical beasts?" he wasmunicating with telepathy.


    Alester Book nodded and replied, "Why else do you thing that boy is so capable? They posses the tome of four beasts it is within their bloodline. No one can snatch it away. Interesting no?"


    Achilles nodded in agreement. Just when they were to continue their discussion You Xi Wang spoke, "Master, The cage please."


    Alester Book nodded and threw the cage from his space ring out in the center of the hall. You Xi wang stood up and spoke to the family, "The sinners of You family have been caught. How do you suggest we punish them."


    The hall descended in silence and a powerful aura radiated through out the room. This aura came from family members inside the hall. The elders from the council were shocked to see this. They have seen people hating the dark dwellers but this rage was something they have never felt. Chen Qianbei spoke, "Thundersh, ice sense poison, do anything you want You Xi Wang. I want to here their cries. You are given a free reign on how you make them beg you for death. Do it."


    The hall rang out with the cries of the same, "<strong>DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!!!!</strong>"


    You Xi Wang nodded and stood up from his chair. He walked up to the chair and half on to it. He spoke, "What happens here is not to be spoken outside, Understood?"


    The primal soul realm people in the room all deployed a soul barrier of their own. You Xi Wang held the cage and used his lightning spiritual energy. A current ran through the cage material. It made the two bugs inside wake up with a scream. You Xi Wang did not hold back and used his whole strength. The bugs inside woke up with screams.


    <strong>"ARGHHHH..."</strong>

 Chapter 214: Avenged.

    Chapter 214: Avenged.


    The wail rang throughout the hall. You Xi Wang took a step back and waited for the two to crawl out of the cage. Mrs. Colt was the first to wake up. She nced at Edward beside her and a trace of disdain shed in her eyes. She spoke, "Lost to such a hairy boy. Still, want to be my husband? Trash thing."


    Edward Colt looked at her and spoke to her using telepathy as his tongue was ripped off by this handsome devil, "You will soon, know the horror of this devil."


    Mrs. Colt nced at You Xi Wang who stood at some distance. She stood up inside the cage and tried to walk out when suddenly a cold pain circted from her legs. She saw her knees were stabbed by daggers. She gritted her teeth and knelt down on the ground. A cold voice woke her up, "Maggots are supposed to crawl as they should."


    Mrs. Colt could do nothing but crawl out of the cage on all fours. You Xi Wang did not pay her any attention he walked up and kicked her to the side. The kick was not strong it was enough to push this woman aside. He waved his hand and took out a whip from his space ring. He swung the whip and skillfully tightened it around Edward Colt''s neck. Then with a strong tug, he pulled him out of the cage.


    He spoke, "You killed my parents, I watched them die in thest video they left. You made my mother cry. You made my sister cry and my family grieve. Today I will show you what true pain means. You will see how I torment your beloved wife. I will make her beg for death. I will make you wail in sorrow and regret you scum." he could not reign in his anger and stomp at Edward''s jaw, breaking it with a cking sound.


    He waved his hand in the void and Mrs. Colt stood up. You Xi Wang spoke, "You made people fall to darkness with your face, no? I will first take away your face. He flickered by her side and clutched her chin in his hand. The woman struggled but You Xi Wang did not slow down. Then he took out a dagger from his ring and slowly cut up along her face line. He spoke, "Any up got any sort of clipping tools?"


    The people in the family were shaken to their souls. Some were watching this for the first time and they did not know what was going to happen next yet they were already pale when they saw You Xi Wang''s hand is covered in blood. The whole hall was silent. You Xi Wang looked around, his gaze was as if a demon incarnated from hell. He spoke again, "Anyone has a clipper or a plier? I will not ask again."


    No one spoke and You Xi Wang used his knife and slowly started peeling off Mrs. Colt''s face. The woman started to scream and cry but would this handsome devil be soft on her? Not a chance in hell. She was a dark dweller and a cunning one at that. Achilles spoke to Animo Albus and Alester Book by his side using telepathy, "This boy is decisive and cruel when dealing with enemies."


    Alester Book replied, "You don''t know the half of it. This boy can sense the dark bugs. He hates them so much that when dealing with them his personality changes drastically. It is as if he is a demon."


    Animo Albus spoke, "Indeed. But even after facing such drastic changes in his personality, he does not have any mental demons. This is somethingmendable. His dao heart is very strong."


    The three elders talked among themselves. On the other side, You Xi Wangpleted the <em>face-lifting</em> of Mrs. Colt. The skin was peeled and now the red meat tissues and muscles were visible. You Xi Wang turned back to Edward Colt who was lying down on the ground and spoke, "See, isn''t she beautiful." this guy even had an innocent smile on his face.


    Edward Colt seemed to have lost his soul. His wife, his beloved wife, who was so beautiful that he did not even hesitate walking down the path of darkness, was now a horrifying mummy. It has to be said that Mrs. Colt was very beautifulpeting with Chen Limao, You Xi Wang''s mother. Tears of blood formed in his eyes. He never imagined this day toe in his life.


    You Xi Wang smiled even brightly when he saw this. He spoke, "Chichi, look, he is crying. Hahaha... he is crying. Grandpa, see this bug has emotions. Hahaha..." the next moment he saw Edward Colt closing his eyes trying to look away from his wife''s face. You Xi Wang came to his side and spoke in a cold voice, "You need to watch." with that said his dagger circled around Edward Colt''s eyes and his eyelids were removed.


    Edward Colt screamed in a hoarse voice. He could not close his eyes. He could not look away. You Xi Wang made him sit on the ground and cut off the tendons behind his neck. Then he moved his neck to the angle where he can watch his wife being tortured. You Xi Wang came back to the wailing woman, who was now sprawled on the floor of the gathering hall and kept wailing. He spoke, "Do you know why your face feels irritated? Because I used the holy spiritual energy to cover my dagger to peel of your face. Hahaha, ain''t I smart."


    Then he made a scalpel out of Lightning attribute spirit energy and spoke, "Have you heard of a process called Mummification? No? Let me exin to you as we progress."


    He spoke, "Granny Xin, can I have a table?"


    Granny Xin shivered and with a nod threw out a folding table in the center of the hall. You Xi Wang then pulled the woman at his feet to the table andid her on the table. He spoke after he pressed some acupuncture points to immobilize her, "In your next life, you will need a physical body. So, it is very important that we preserve your organs and stop them from decaying so that the heavens allow you to have a body which is simr to this one."


    He paused and spoke, "How to preserve the dead from decaying? Simple. Take out their organs and leave them in oils and resins. Smart no?" a smile was stuck on his face as he spoke to the red-faced woman. The woman spoke, "Please kill me. I beg you kill me."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and replied, "I will take you to see what a delight death is. I will make you realize that if there is a next life you should never fall to the dark path." his words dropped, and this guy made an incision over her abdomen. Then under the painful cries of the woman, he slipped in a wisp of his Holy spiritual energy. This energy reduced the dark energy to nothing and Mrs. Colt turned into an ordinary human.


    The woman could not bear the pain and she was about to faint when You Xi Wang made her wake up by using frost to cover her bloodied-face. The woman went through another round of pain and torment. Only when she was about to faint again did You Xi Wang put on a glove in his hand and inserted it inside her guts. This feeling was very painful and disgusting for Mrs. Colt. While she was crying and begging for death You Xi Wang looked at Edward Colt who kept weeping in a hoarse voice. You Xi Wang had pulled out the woman''s intestines and liver from her body when Mrs. Colt suddenly spoke.


    "In the name of your mother kill me. Please kill us. We apologize for what we did. We are bugs destined to rot in hell. Please kill us." her words were sessful.


    You Xi Wang''s hand stopped. He nced at You Zhichi, who looked at him and said, "You have fulfilled your promise. You have made them beg and regret. Now let this grudge settle Gougou. Mom and Dad are waiting for us." her words meant that they two needed to go to the cemetery after this.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "You will not have the next life." then he covered the two people in golden spiritual energy and turned them to ash. He even evaporated Mrs. Colt''s organs and the blood of the two people scattered on the floor of the hall. Only his hands were covered with blood. He spoke to the people present in the council, "The revenge of the family has been exercised. Tomorrow we will pay homage to the souls of all the members the family has lost in the past. We need to thank our ancestors. For now, go and rest. Those who still have some stigma about the cruelness of the previous scene will not be allowed to eat the cake made by the kids."


    "<strong>BIG BROTHER (UNCLE), NO. WE ARE FINE.</strong>" the hall rang out with the cries of all the juniors who had just started cultivating and everyone could not help butugh at this scene. In this way, You Xi Wang avenged his parents. His heart was at ease for now but he knew that the forces behind the Colts won''t take this blow lying down. Sooner orter, they will act against him and his family. With relief came a sense of rush.

 Chapter 215: Calm After The Storm?

    Chapter 215: Calm After The Storm?


    After destroying the two people You Xi Wang adjourned the meeting. He turned to his master and bowed. Then he was about to speak when Animo Albus spoke, "Xiao Wang, go visit your parents. We will take the leave first." as she said that she had already stood up. You Zhichi came over to see off her master. Alester Book gave You Xi Wang a reassuring smile and also followed his martial sister along with Achilles.


    You Zhichi spoke to her brother in a gentle voice, "Go change your clothes, we will leave soon. Also, wash your hands before you go out lest the kids get sacred." You Xi Wang''s hands were still covered in blood. The boy nodded and condensed a ball of water around each hand. The blood on his hands dissolved in the water turning it red. Then he used fire attributed spiritual energy in his hands and evaporated the water ball.


    He turned to You Zhichi and asked, "Do you think it was okay to let them off like this?"


    You Zhichi stretched her hand and caressed his head softly. She said, "Bro, she called for mercy in mom''s name. It is fine. They got what they deserve. Don''t overthink. Go get changed." her tone was unchanged. You Xi Wang nodded and walked out of the hall with her.


    Outside Celestia was waiting for them with Lily and some other kids. You Xi Wang smiled and picked up Celes in his arms. He spoke, "Would you like to visit my parents? I will buy the ingredients to cook for you all on the way back. Okay?"


    Celestia nodded silently. She was a smart girl she could sense that You Xi Wang was not his usual self. She gently rested her head against his shoulder as You Xi Wang told all the other kids to go and rest. He wille backter with ingredients and cook a meal for them. His mind was upied by a lot of things right now and he first needed to sort them out. You Xi Wang carried Celestia to his room and then sat her down on the bed. He smiled and spoke, "I will take a shower and change clothes. Then we will go together with Big sis, Okay?"


    Celestia nodded with a bright smile. You Xi Wang tussled her hair and went to the bathroom. He stood below the shower. The system spoke, [Why are you not happy? You avenged your parents.]


    You Xi Wang closed his eyes as he said, ''I feel empty. At first, I wanted to vent out my anger on them. Then it became something like therapy. I grew stronger because I wanted revenge. Now, I have no such emotion inside. What do you think is happening to me?''


    The system fell silent. The almighty face pping king system had no answer to this. He was just a secondary consciousness. All the emotions were left over to You Xi Wang himself. So how can it answer it without experience? You Xi Wang took a little longer than usual in the shower. Then he dried himself with a clean towel and walked to the cloakroom attached to the bathroom. He took out a white shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes. This was his staple clothing. Then he picked up a leather bracelet and tied it around his wrist. He left his hair the way they were after drying them.


    After dressing up he walked out and saw Celestia reading something on the Holo-Phone with a focused expression. You Xi Wang patted her small head and asked, "What is our little fairy reading?"


    Celestia replied with her tiny fingers moving through the light screen quickly, "Big brother, the battle fest solopetition established a forum. And someone just challenged you directly. This person said that you cannot beat him even in millennia. Humph, overestimating himself. I wish to find that person and beat him to the pulp." she pouted her lips and puffed her cheeks.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Don''t worry, won''t we find him in thepetition? Come let s go. Big sis is waiting." he held Celestia''s small hand and led her outside. The two quickly reached the parking area and saw You Zhichi standing beside their car. She waved at the two of them and said, "Today, big sis will drive."


    You Xi Wang and Celestia exchanged a nce and said in unison, "<strong>NO!</strong>" it may seem that their reaction was exaggerated but it was not. You Zhichi was not made to drive the car. Despite her cautiousness and careful handling someone will almost every time rear-end their car. Celestia has been out with her and she has experienced the thing herself. The reason was her beauty. In order to strike up a conversation and exchange contacts, some perverts would crash their cars deliberately.


    Yes, the vehicles were equipped with an anti-collision array and some software programs to maintain a safe distance. Their efficiency drops when they move at a speed higher than the limit. The vehicle''s safety features were only capable of warning the driver with notifications the final decision rested in the driver''s hands. The heavenly maiden would always drive with the window open.


    You Xi Wang hurried over with Celestia and sat inside the driver''s seat without giving You Zhichi any chance. The heavenly maiden could only shrug her shoulders. _()_/


    She then sat in the co-pilot seat. This vehicle of You Xi Wang had a special back seat for a third passenger. It was added to this vehicle when he was participating in the survival trial. Celestia told him about it on the way back.


    You Xi Wang started the vehicle by pressing the ignition button and the vehicle flew out. The speed of the car was not too fast and neither was it too slow. The two people purchased some flowers on the way. They also bought some food their parents liked to eat. You Zhichi was already provided with a big amount of food by the rtives in the family. They will be donating it all to the orphanage near the cemetery.


    They reached the cemetery soon. You Xi Wang walked ahead holding the flowers and You Zhichi walked in the back holding onto Celestia. They reached the ce where their parents rested. In the past few months, the tombstones were covered with umted dust. You Xi Wang waved his hand and a gust of wind removed the dust. Then he waved his hand again and water drops condensed around the tombstones. The water washed away any remaining dirt. You Xi Wang kneeled down next to the tombstone of his mom and You Zhichi kneeled down next to the tombstone of her father and they took a piece of cloth out of their space rings. Then they dried the tombstones carefully.


    You Xi Wang ced a bundle of 50 white cicada tulips in front of his mother''s tomb while YOu Zhichi ced 50 fiery ferns in front of her father''s. Celestia took the cake and ced it in between the two tombstones. The three then knelt down and kowtowed to the tombstones. The two girls stood up after some time but You Xi Wang did not. He spoke while his head rested on the ground, "I havepleted by oath mom. I hope you and dad are at rest up there. Miss you." his voice was very soft and after kowtowing to his father''s grave he stood up. In his ce, there were some wet spots.


    You Zhichi patted his shoulder and said, "It is okay now. By the way, do tell me what are you going to cook?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and the first half but at the second half he smirked and said, "You will know when you eat it." then he turned to Celestia by his side and side, "Comrade Celes, are you ready to conquer the kitchen and also the stomach of your peer?"


    Celestia followed his lead and like a good cadet she replied, "Aye, sir."


    You Xi Wang then held her in his arms and said, "Let''s go then. Pass the orders."


    Celestia straightened herself and with her tender pink finger pointing ahead she spoke, "Company March."


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi replied, "Aye." and amidst theughter and jokes two and a half people walked to the entrance of the cemetery. This role y of the army was something they picked up from the history books. These books recorded how the armies were before the age of spirit awakening.


    At this moment the three people were moving ahead towards the shopping center unknown that the silence after the storm was just a little break before another challenge.


    ...


    In a dark room, a man with emerald robe sat in his mohagny chair when he sensed a something. The man raised his head from the documents in his hand and stood up. Then he walked to the washroom and closed the door behind him. He came in front of the mirror on the wall. The mirror rippled and his reflection distorted. In the ce of his reflection a figure with a dark robe appeared. This figure''s face was covered and onlypletely ck eyes, devoid of any white, were visible. This figure spoke in a hoarse voice, "Croma City and Silica City forces have been cleaned up. The Colt family and your junior sister also fell in thest struggle. The council is hiding the details of the force who did this. Find it."


    The man in the emerald robe shook his head and said, "Master, I don''t have enough authority. The encryption is cast by the elders and high elders themselves. No one can find out the details. Also, do not act rashly. This force is very strong. It came out and struck us out of nowhere. This time the minions inside the council has also vanished. The high elders have somehow caught the scent. Let us be calm. We will settle it all in due time."


    The man in the robe snorted. The man in Emerald robe wanted to say something more when he said, "Master, let us talkter. Someone is here." The man inside the mirror nodded and the mirror returned to it''s original form. The emerald robed man walked out of the washroom. He heard a knock on the door and he turned the lights bright. He said, "Come in."


    The door opened and...


    That''s the end of the first volume folks. Thanks for the support. We will continue with the second volume tomorrow.

 Chapter 216: Maestro Chef.

    Chapter 216: Maestro Chef.


    You Xi Wang reached back home with his sisters and made a beeline straight to the kitchen. He was going to make Biryani for the whole family. You see, despite having simrities in culture the food of this was something You Xi Wang never really adored. He came to the kitchen and saw that some of his aunts were busy supervising the chefs and employees of the house. You Xi Wang walked in with a smile and spoke to a genial-looking old woman, who sat on a high chair reading a book, "Big Granny Cotton, why are you not resting?"


    Big Granny cotton is the aunt of his grandfathers. She was the second miss of the family but her husband passed away. She did not have any children. She was asked by the then family master to remarry but the woman was dedicated to the family and denied. At this moment she is 98 years old. Although she is a core formation cultivator, she does not use the spiritual energy to keep herself young. She wore a white long gown.


    She lifted her head up to see You Xi Wang looking at her with a sheepish smile. She spoke in a low voice, "Our naughty boy finally has time to see big granny?"


    You Xi Wang used toe over often to eat when his parents were alive. She caught him many times sneaking in the kitchen in the middle of the night and had a good rtionship with him. She was responsible for looking after the kitchen by her own choice and never did she interfere in other matters. The family was also respectful to her. The elders still treated her as their mother and would always listen to her.


    You Xi Wang spoke in an equally soft voice, "Big granny, I finally dealt revenge. So, I came to you. Otherwise, won''t I be ashamed in front of the elderly?"


    Lady Cotton smiled and beckoned him to her side. You Xi Wang walked beside her and thedy patted his head with a smile on her face. She spoke, "You have grown up Wang''er."


    You Xi Wang smiled faintly at her remark. Thedy continued asking, "You could havee to my room. Whye to the kitchen? No sneaking out snacks, family rules."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I will cook a dish for everyone in the family."


    o(Shock) This is how the staff and the family members in the kitchen reacted. Big Granny cotton shook her head and said, "Sweetheart, have you, the naughty food thief taken the wrong medicine?"


    _ This time You Xi Wang was speechless. He spoke, "I am being serious, big granny. You listen to my recipe, and then if you think it is not good I will leave." his tone was aggrieved


    Big Granny Cotton, had a heart same as her name. She spoke to him in a coaxing manner, "Okay, no speaking, you cook one batch for grandma. If I find it ptable, then I will let the staff cook it. Okay?"


    You Xi Wang nodded vigorously. He took out a portion of various ingredients from his space ring and put them on the table. He picked up a spare apron from the side and tied it on. Then very meticulously the young master started to wash various vegetables. He then peeled and chopped them. The whole process was very neat and smooth as if a master was doing it. Then he asked his aunt, "Aunt Anna, do we have some dry nuts and also can you please help me wash and soak the 5 cups of rice?"


    Thedy with blonde hair nodded with a smile on her face. She gestured a chef to provide You Xi Wang with a variety of nuts and personally helped him washing and soaking the rice. You Xi Wang took out some chicken meat from a packet on the side. All the chickens were ughtered with the method he asked the butcher to follow. He did not want to deal with the blood of the chicken. So he washed the chicken and seasoned it with a lot of spices he had prepared by himself. He let the meat rest and soak in the spices, while he sauteed all the vegetables. He used refined butter and the kitchen was filled with various aromas from the roasting. He then roasted some nuts as well. He asked the chef to half cook the rice while he was doing this.


    Atst, he took the chicken meat and roasted it as well. Then he used an open-top earthen pot to cook the rice. Throughout the process, he did not falter, and neither did he slowed down. The whole kitchen was filled with aroma and silence. The people present did not expect You Xi Wang to be so good at his craft. He took some fried onion sliced and ced them on the bottom of the pot, then he ced rice then some veggies, and then some chicken. He createdyers inside the pot with a bundle of spices tied in a muslin cloth and chicken in the center with a covering of vegetables and then rice. He added some water and sealed the pot with an earthen dish and closed it airtight with some dough epassing the vessel.


    He looked up to the surprised people and spoke while scratching the back of his head, "Umm, can I have some cold juice?" Big Granny Cotton shook her head and said, "You can have juice but not cold. It''s harmful at night."


    You Xi Wang nodded and a staff person brought him a big ss of juice. The whole kitchen watched the earthen pot ced on the stove, with the fire lit underneath it. Auntie Anna asked YOu Xi Wang, "How would we know if it is cooked?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "When the sent dough hardens in its ce. Also, if it is good enough then please ask the chefs to help me cook." The staff immediately expressed their support as they really found some interesting food to cook. As the people indulged in chatting the food was cooked and You Xi Wang stood up from his chair. He took some strands of saffron and then blended them with milk.


    He created a barrier around the pot and opened the pot. He quickly poured in the saffron milk all over the rice and then with a big spat gave the rice a good stir. Then he removed the barriers and instantly a bomb of aroma exploded in the mansion''s kitchen. You Xi Wang took out some colorful rice mixed with Vegetables and meat and ced it in a dish. Then he took some twigs of coriander and garnished the food. He took a bowl of Yogurt and served it to Big Granny Cotton.


    He spoke, "Big Granny, you can eat some Yogurt if the rice feels too dry." with both his hands he ced the food in front of Lady Cotton. The olddy gracefully put down her book and picked up a spoon.


    Under a lot of expectant gazes, she stirred the rice a bit and then ate a spoonful amount of rice. Then withoutmenting she tried the vegetables and rice and even took a bite of the chicken. While people were waiting for her evaluation The olddy kept eating. Only after finishing the whole dish did she spoke, "Excellent."


    Getting excellent from this genial olddy was enough to feel as if you just reached another and became a super power their.

 Chapter 217: Twist.

    Chapter 217: Twist.


    You Xi Wang raised his head like a peacock after getting praise from the olddy. Big Granny Cotton kept on chewing her food and she nced at Anna. The blondedy spoke to the chefs, "You have seen how to cook this?"


    The staff nodded respectfully. Anna spoke again, "Then get working. Young Master, may we have the ingredients?"


    You Xi Wang nced at her and said, "Aunt Anna, I am young master only when I sit on the throne chair. You all call me like this. Is it that you don''t see me as Xiao Wang anymore?"


    Anna smiled and spoke, "Xiao Wang, hand over the ingredients. Also, you are a big boy now, help auntie watch over the process." her words were blunt.


    You Xi Wang liked it this way only. He nodded and put down all the stuff he bought from his space ring. The staff worked fast and quickly processed the ingredients. You Xi Wang guided them from time to time while he chewed on some snacks randomly. After an hour, twenty big king-sized earthen pots, filled with Biryani were ready to be served. You Xi Wang nodded and came to Big Granny Cotton.


    He spoke, "Big Granny, today you eat with us, please? Others will be happy."


    Lady cotton was used to eat in solidarity but watching You Xi Wang like this she nodded with a smile on her face. You Xi Wang took her hand and led her to the dining hall. On the way, he talked about Celestia and the kids baking cakes. Lady Cotton told him that when he was gone for the battle fest, Celestia and Lily identally hid in the kitchen while ying with the rest of the kids. Lady Cotton caught the two little devils and their sugar-coated words got the better for her. You Xi Wangughed at this. Then he led the olddy to the dining hall while gently holding her hand.


    The staff took the food to the dining hall and were ready to serve. The whole family was already sitting inside the dining hall. Usually, they would not have stood up when You Xi Wang came in but when they saw Lady Cotton beside him. They all stood up and greeted, "Good evening Big granny Cotton."


    Lady cotton nodded to them with a gentle smile and said, "Good evening to you all as well. Sit down, I am no big-wig." she did not like to be the center of attention but this was her family after all. So she could amodate them once in a while. You Xi Wang took her to the inner circle of the tables and sat her next to him. You Zhichi greeted thedy with a hug and sat next to her as well. You Xi Wang spoke as his gazended on the serving staff, "You can bring it down now."


    The staff person nodded and immediately they took down the sealing dough. The result was, the whole dining hall filled with the aroma of biryani. The whole family was intoxicated by the fragrance of fresh spices. The staff quickly severed the biryani with yogurt and left it for the people to eat. The family prayed a bit and then they all attacked the biryani in front of them like hungry lions. Shoving in rice and chewing on chicken.


    All of them constantly praised You Xi Wang. They were all aware that today You Xi Wang cooked the food himself. You Zhichi did not care how her brother cooked, she was happy that he cooked. You Xi Wang was also about to eat when he saw Celestia and Lily looking sad. He stood up and walked to the two of them. He squatted down and asked, "What happened to my little fairies?"


    Lily spoke, "Xixi, you made this recipe yourself but our cake was taught by Big Granny cotton. How does it evenpare?" her voice was low yet still many people heard it and smiled. Celestia kept nodding on the side showing her agreement.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "You little dummies, thinking so much. You can invent your recipes when you grow up. Okay?"


    The two girls looked up and nodded after some pondering. Celestia then asked, "Big brother, you sit and dine with us?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and picked her up from her chair. He sat down with Celestia in hisp. Then they started eating. After the main course was done the serving staff came up with cakes cut and served in dishes. One dish had 8 small pieces of cake. All different vored and different colored. You Xi Wang ate the cakes with a big smile on his face. He spoke, "Awe...<strong>Burp</strong>..."


    He wanted to say awesome but he burped unconsciously as he had eaten a bit too much. Everyone startedughing at him. You Xi Wang spoke after coughing, "Beg your pardon, but the cake was really awesome."


    The family then slowly dispersed for the night. You Xi Wang walked around the garden holding Emily''s hand. He asked, "You have grown stronger Emily."


    Emily nodded with a sweet smile on her face. She said, "Young Master, I have gained a lot under the guidance of Amanda. Also, I can now handle the work of in the foundation easily."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and spoke, "Emily, I am not restricting you or something. But I would like you to know that you should not trust anyonepletely until and unless they are your family. So be careful when you are out. Also, I will ask Granny Xin to pass on some duties in the foundation to you."


    Emily nodded and was aware of his concern, after all, then you never know, who is a snake hiding in the shadows. As they were walking Susan also came to them. You Xi Wang hugged one the left and one right as he kept walking. Susan spoke, "Xi Wang, Lena Light, visited the house three times after you went away but the excuse was her grandma wanting to meet you."


    Emily also spoke to him about this earlier so You Xi Wang was aware. He spoke with an indifferent voice, "She is just a passer-by. I have no interest in her."


    The two girls exchanged a smile and then nodded. They kissed You Xi Wang on his cheeks. You Xi Wang understood that they were teasing him. He spoke, "Yuki asked me to spend a night with her, but we don''t have a ce where we can be alone. And if I took her to a hotel. Her parents will cut me up for sure."


    Emily spoke, "How about we all go out for a trip after your solo-battle contest?"


    You Xi Wang pinched his chin and said, "Hmm, that can be done. But who will go on a trip? Also, I don''t want to act too much. I look at Chichi practicing her cultivation art, being all alone and stuff. It tears me apart every time. If not for the fact that she might die and be unable to cultivate I would not have beaten up every guy who looks at her." he shook his head in exasperation.


    Emily sighed with him and the three people headed back to their rooms. The night was silent and it was lonely. You Zhichi in the room was unaware of her brother''s pain for her and kept practicing. The night passed and everyone woke up. You Xi Wang and his sister drove to the school but on the way, You Zhichi shouted, "STOP. Bro, isn''t that teacher Maddie?"


    Her finger pointed to a derelict alley. You Xi Wang followed her pointer and froze in his seat. A terrifying killing intent burst out...

 Chapter 218: Maddisons Tragedy.

    Chapter 218: Maddison''s Tragedy.


    You Xi Wang was shocked to see Maddison in such a condition. She was sitting in a derelict alley with her hair scattered all over the ce. Her clothes were dirty. You Xi Wang quickly drove the car to the side of the road and disembarked the vehicle with his sister. The two people then ushered over to where Maddison was.


    You Xi Wang let You Zhichi make the first contact as he stood at the side. He nced at his teacher, who at this moment was nothing like her usual cheerful self. Her vacant eye kept staring in the void nkly, her swollen face was devoid of expression, her messy hair scattered all overlooking dirty. All this told half the story but the other half was for Maddison to speak about. You Zhichi kneeled down in front of Maddison and called her name, "Teacher, Teacher Maddison. Can you hear me?"


    Her crisp and soft voice seems to have woke up Maddison. The golden-haireddy raised her head. She saw You Zhichi talking to her and she spoke with a faint smile, "Zhichi, why are you here? Go, rush to the school. I will be fine, rke will be here in a few minutes to pick me up." yet her eyes were still without the light of consciousness.


    You Zhichi knew something was wrong, she turned her head to her brother, and You Xi Wang spoke, "Let''s take her to the hospital first. She is mentally exhausted, let me contact a few of her close contacts to find out the ups and downs about what happened to her." he used telepathy tomunicate as to not disturb Maddison more than she is already.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Teacher, how about youe with us?"


    Maddison did not react this time. She just sat there with a faint smile on her lips. You Xi Wang spoke, "Big Sis, sleeping pressure point."


    You Zhichi calmly raised her hand and held Maddison in her embrace. Maddison was in a state where she won''t react until anyone unleashes their killing intent at her or use spiritual energy against her. You Zhichi did neither and thus Maddison allowed her to hug her. You Zhichi pinched the back of her neck with her slender fingers and struck the sleeping pressure point. Maddison immediately fainted. She could have resisted it but her mental exhaustion was too much.


    You Xi Wang picked up his teacher like a princess and then they walked towards their vehicle. Some passer-bys watched this and enquired about the situation and then You Zhichi had to exin everything to them. You Xi Wang was indifferent to all this and ced Maddison in the back seat. Then he drove the vehicle straight to the Silica City Hospital.


    On the way, he called Susan to be ready to receive his teacher. You Xi Wang used the remote link to LUCY on his Holo-Phone, "LUCY, you there?"


    Suddenly a hologram formed over his Holo-phone. The hologram spoke, "Always at your service, Young Master."


    You Zhichi was shocked but she did not ask anything at this moment. You Xi Wang spoke, "LUCY, look through all the information you can find about Maddison Midnight, teacher of battle formations in Silica City academy, and locate me her nears and dears. ASAP."


    The hologram replied, "Yes, Young Master." only after a few seconds LUCY spoke again, "Young Master, I have found details of a fellow teacher of the subject. The contact is called, Daina Carter. The rest of the information is being processed."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Very good, contact her and ask her toe to the SIlica City hospital in my name." The hologram again replied in affirmation and contacted Daina Carter.


    ...


    Daina Carter was riding her lev-bike to school. She was a tom-boy by nature with a carefree heart. She was lost in thought when her Holo-phone rang. She saw that it is an unknown number. She rejected the call, You Xi Wang on the other side asked LUCY to call repeatedly. Daina got irritated after repeated rejections and then she was about to block the caller. A text popped up.


    ''<em>TEACHER DAINA, PICK UP THE FUCKING CALL. IT IS AN EMERGENCY. I AM YOU XI</em> <em>WANG.</em>''


    Daina was stunned by the message. She did not expect the caller to be You Xi Wang, moreover, she never imagined him to talk like this with her. Regardless, her instincts told her that it might be an urgent situation for the boy to be reacting as such. She picked up the call the next time.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Teacher Daina, pleasee to Silica City Hospital. On the way to school, we found teacher Maddison sitting listlessly in a vacant alley. She is not in a good condition."


    Daina''s brain started working at an extremely high speed. Maddison Midnight was not only her colleague but also her best friend. She told You Xi Wang that she would be arriving as soon as possible. She turned her Lev-bike in the direction of the hospital was she contacted the school and told them the situation.


    ...


    You Zhichi called Yuki and told her about the situation, asking her to convey this to the Battle fest team but not to talk to others about it lest it damages the teacher''s reputation. Yuki co-operated with her and sprang into action. You Zhichi asked You Xi Wang, "Gougou, how long?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Three minutes." he was driving the vehicle at a high speed with rapt attention. The vehicles in Metropia all came equipped with three colored lights. Normally it would not change color but once the driver sets up the hospital as an address the lights will automatically be navy blue. They would flicker constantly and the other vehicles will move aside from the path. You Xi Wang was fine controlling the vehicle to avoid the collision, leaving the big turns to the semi-auto-pilot. This was an exclusive feature in his vehicle only.


    ...


    In the front of the Emergency department of the Silica City Hospital, a white Countach stopped and You Zhichi came out of the door. She pressed a console on the side and quickly a robot arrived with a floating stretcher bed. You Xi Wang carried Maddison out of the car and ced her on the bed. The robot then began to pull the stretcher back inside the building You Xi Wang asked her sister to see through the formalities as he finds a ce to park the vehicle.


    You Zhichi followed the robot inside and You Xi Wang left. When after parking the vehicle our boy returned he found Susan was checking up on Maddison with some other doctors by her side and Daina was standing beside his sister, gritting her teeth. He walked over and asked straightforwardly, "Do you know, what happened to her?"


    Daina nced at him and spoke with an infuriated face, "All this is due to that fucker Arthur rke. He is her ex-boyfriend, yet this idiot kept in touch with him. One day he called her out for dinner, seemingly to reconcile, and then she sent me a text saying she will spend the week with him. Then two days ago rke contacted me saying Maddison wanted me to move out of her house. The ce we rent, she bought it some days ago. I tried to contact but she did not respond. I moved out and today I wanted to find her to ask what happened when you called."

 Chapter 219: Messed-up.

    Chapter 219: Messed-up.


    You Xi Wang kept his calm when he heard all this. Just as Daina stopped speaking the team of doctors came out of the observation ward. The elderly doctor asked, "May I ask, who brought the patient here?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Me and my sister."


    The elderly doctor nodded and spoke, "Young man, you two did a good deed. The patient is in a dire need of rest, almost all of the spirit energy is used up. The body is extremely fragile leaving her in the state she is right now." the doctor paused and continued, "This patient is blessed to have a terrifying battle prowess yet the regr neuralwork is affected. She is always falling and stumbling because her senses are not slow on the contrary they are too fast for regr tasks. We call this a battle dumb physique. You need to take care of her. Let her rest in here for a couple of days and you can take her home afterward."


    The three people nodded and the team of doctors left after some more remarks regarding the treatment. Susan stayed behind and spoke to You Xi Wang, "You can rest assured, I have assigned for a nurse to be on watch 24 hours. I have to catch up to the others, bye Zhichi." she quickly nodded to Daina and pecked You Xi Wang on his cheeks and rushed to catch up with the rest of the doctors. Susan had been working very hard to get a promotion. Daina was surprised to see this disy of affection.


    Zhichi whispered to her, "That''s one of my sisters-inw." Daina raised her eyebrow at You Xi Wang with a cunning smile on her lips. You Xi Wang spoke with a stone face, "Before you try to tease me. Sort out what happened to Teacher Maddison." his cold voice shook Daina for a second but then she reverted back to her original style. She picked up her Holo-Phone and called Arthur rke. The call rang for a long time and then it was picked up.


    Daina spoke, "Hey rke, where is Maddie? She is needed at the academy." her voice did not falter as to rattle the snake. She put the call on speaker so that the two people could listen.


    The other side replied, "Oh, well, you see Daina. We are out on a trip. I told Maddie that, you want to talk to her but she said she will call you when we get back to the city. Okay, I need to go back inside. Bye, take care." and the call was disconnected directly.


    Daina was about to burst in rage when You Xi Wang suddenly held her wrist. He spoke, "LUCY, connect to this Holo-Phone and track the person called Arthur rke. Get me a detailed report of his activityst week."


    LUCY replied immediately, "Yes, Master. Master, I suggest we check this person''s banking history as well."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Good, do that. NOt only his banking history but check his movement over the city as well. Whom he interacted with and who he met. I want to know everything within an hour."


    LUCYplied, "As you wish master."


    Daina was shocked, You Zhichi has seen LUCY earlier in the vehicle but she was not aware of what sort of entity LUCY was. This time she could not hold back and asked her brother, "Gougou, who is this Lucy? When did you hire such a person?"


    Before You Xi Wang could reply, LUCY spoke up, "Young Miss, Hello, I am LUCY, an artificial intelligence created by Young Master You Xi Wang to help him in day-to-day monitoring andmand execution. What you see in front of you is a Remote Uplink to my core program."


    You Xi Wang himself was surprised. He spoke, "LUCY, why did you answer?"


    LUCY replied, "Master, your previous behavior suggests that you trust your sister more than anyone else. She also follows the same path of faith as you. That is why I judged that there will be no problem in telling her my real identity."


    You Xi Wang did not expect LUCY to act on behavior analysis. He spoke, "Administrator Command."


    LUCY replied, "Waiting formand."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Never act without consultation."


    LUCY replied, "Command epted. Execution sessful." after a pause, LUCY spoke again, "Master, may I know the reason behind your decision?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Initiatemand code: RVRT SAM"


    LUCY replied, "Command activated." You Xi Wang spoke to the system inside him, ''Fucking over smart ass. Fix this. The programs are not supposed to question. They can warn in case of self-harm but NEVER question. You fix it RIGHT NOW.''


    The system spoke, [Yes, Master. I may have coded a bit too much. I am on it.]


    You Zhichi and Daina were looking at him with their mouth open big enough to fit a quail egg inside. You Xi Wang spoke, "Oh,e on don''t be so exaggerated. This thing is still in experimental phases and it won''t go crazy okay. Let''s go, Teach Maddie is unlikely to wake up before tomorrow. We need to deal with this guy first and alsoplete the registration in the academy."


    The two people came back to their senses and nodded. You Xi Wang too them out of the hospital. He rode his Countach with his sister while Daina followed on her Lev-bike. Though the moment this irondy spotted the Countach her eyes burned with a fire of desire. If not for her reputation as a teacher she would have really asked You Xi Wang for a ride."


    They reached the school in twenty minutes. Daina had to take her ss and separated from the two siblings. They walked through the academy and came to the central hall where they were allowed to register for the second round of the battle fest. They spotted some familiar faces among the 6 people gathered to register. All these guys were beaten by You Xi Wang earlier. Jack nodded to him lightly and the rest scowled or ignored him.


    They had gained a lot in the past month and were now at the peak of the Core formation realm. You Xi Wang shook his head, toozy to entertain these chimps. You Zhichi naturally had no intention to talk to these people if they were to be cold to her brother. They walked over to the instructor. You Xi Wang spoke along with his sister, "I have seen the instructor."


    The instructor addressed was no one else but Adonis. He smiled at You Xi Wang and You Zhichi and then his smile froze. He pointed at You Xi Wang and said, "Boy, I understand your sister breaking into the Primal Soul Realm but you too? What did you gain in the Elven dimension?"


    You Xi Wang spoke faintly, "I almost died. Treasure and trouble co-exist instructor."


    Adonis nodded. These three people ignored the shock the other people inside the hall went through. They did not expect this handsome white-faced boy in front of them to be a Primal Soul Realm boy. Adonis sensed their shock and spoke, "Also, I heard how you eradicated the Colt Dark Dwellers. Good job."


    Another explosion sounded inside the brain of six people. Especially the Paul siblings who thought that they will avenge themselves this time. Their hearts were a mess at this moment. You Xi Wang took down a whole family of dark dwellers. This was a major aplishment. He was not someone they should mess with. Adonis continued, "Okay you guys, put down your fingers on the registration panel and we are done."


    The two people came forward one by one and Adonis handed them a tablet. They punched in their thumbs and their identities popped up on the tab. Adonis tweaked with the tab a few moments and then he said, "Okay, done. We are set. You are free for the night and tomorrow at noon. Report in the evening and we will depart to the venue."


    <strong>"YES INSTRUCTOR ADONIS" </strong>


    They replied in unison and You Xi Wang left with his sister. They were headed to the Tianlong office to find out what happened to Maddison.

 Chapter 220: I AM BATMAN.

    Chapter 220: I AM BATMAN.


    You Xi Wang drove to the Tianlong Groups. You Zhichi spoke, "I feel like this person Arthur rke is a crooked one. He must have coaxed Teacher Maddie into transferring the house rights to him."


    Before the two could ignite the vehicle, LUCY prompted the details and recorded the activity log of Arthur rk on You Xi Wang''s Holo-Phone. You Zhichi was responsible for skimming through the logs while You Xi Wang focused on driving. Through the search, they found out that Arthur rke was the ownership rights of the residence Maddison lived in. They found this out when they saw the date of transfer on the right log.


    Daina testified that it was the ce where she and Maddie lived. In the recorded video logs, You Zhichi found that Arthur rke has taken Maddison out of the Silica City. After two days when he returned he left Maddison out there near a food stall alone. You Xi Wang immediatelymanded LUCY to focus on how teacher Maddie came back to the city. The result was pitiful. Thedy kept stumbling and falling until she came to that dpidated alley where they found her. This man even took away her Space Ring.


    Maddison did not want to be ashamed in front of her known ones and thus she did not call them at all. You Xi Wang drove the vehicle calmly. He did not show anger but his blood was raging. Yet he knew this was not something that can be dealt with violence. They also found some suspicious people in Arthur''s circle. To investigate them all You Xi Wang decided to go back to his office and deal with them all at once.


    The vehicle came to a stop in front of the building. You Xi Wang and You Zhichi walked out and the smart program drove the vehicle to the parking automatically. The people in the office were all happy to see their Young Master and Young Missing back after a month. They all wanted to greet them but they saw that the vibe was not right. You Zhichi sighed and spoke in a loud voice, "I apologize, guys, we have something urgent to do before Battle fest''s next round. I promise that we will hold a big banquet regardless of the results aftering back."


    The staff cheered up. At least, one of their bosses was still paid them some attention. You Xi Wang rushed to the top floor without even using the elevator. You Zhichi shook her head behind him and used the elevator to follow. She was newly promoted and was not used to flying indoors. When she reached her brother''s office, the boy was already sitting on his chair. She quietly came to his side and stood beside him. She sped his tough shoulders in her soft jade hands. She spoke, "Gougou, your heart is not calm."


    You Xi Wang sighed and spoke, "After killing Edward Colt and his wife. The void in my heart has deepened big sis." he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He kept on speaking, "This emptiness, I am scared of it. What should I do? What is the right way?"


    You Zhichi kept squeezing his shoulders gently, and her silky voice sounded, "You know, when you were about to be born, mom''s previous injuries rpsed. That was why you were born with narrow meridians. You were such a fragile little thing. They kept you in the hospital for 6 months before we could bring you home. Dad said to me at that time, ''Chichi, your brother will need a lot of love and care. So in case he ever feels upset you must stay by his side.'' so I ask you brat, are you still the fragile little red fruit? You are now an expert, standing among the young elites of the world. The realm you have achieved is something some people can only dream of. I know it is normal to feel empty or low in life as you are also a human. Though remember what mom taught us? Never let the emotions take control of you. Be emotional but never let them be rampant." as she finished speaking, the room descended into silence.


    The brother and sister both did not break the tranquility of the scene. What You Zhichi said may sound irrelevant but it was thefort of a family contained in her monologue which would fill You Xi Wang''s void and alleviate his mind. The serenity ended when the system in the room prompted, "Master, the investigation isplete."


    You Xi Wang was not in the mood to dive deep on the subject and spoke, "Using the parameters of Legal and Illegal, segregate the activities of these people and tell me whether they are innocent or not."


    LUCY spoke, "Five minutes toplete the task."


    You Xi Wang stood up from the chair and made his sister sit down in his ce. He spoke, "If these people are criminals then I will drop all the data plus their locations to the defense forces. The inspectors will take care of the rest. If we file aint against Arthur rk, they won''t suspect us right? After all, we are breaking thew to collect evidence."


    You Zhichi nodded and spoke, "They will. Do not file aint. It will be too coincidental. I will inform teacher Daina as well. Though that will be done in person and not any modernmunication method. Incase they track it through while investigating." her tone was very calm.


    You Xi Wang nodded in agreement. He waited by the window for the system. Subconsciously his two fingers raised andnded on his lips. When he realized that there is no cigarette in his hand he smiled wryly. LUCY notified him at this moment, "Master, all these people are criminals. Two of them are indulged in smuggling and petty theft while Mr. Arthur rke, is a corrupt council official. He also runs an underground gambling den. At this moment, the house he owns in, Radio Park is operating."


    You Xi Wang was not surprised, he spoke, "Package all this data. Invade the Defense forcework and prompt it to all the officials there. Also, add a text prompt. ''I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT, I AM BATMAN.''" when he was done speaking there was a smirk on his face.


    You Zhichi asked him, "What is a batman?"


    You Xi Wang told her the stories of his favorite superhero. Who without any superpowers, made evil people fall to justice. You Zhichi watched him as he spoke, at this moment his eyes were all sparkling like a kid who got a new toy. He was so excited. You Zhichi did not stop him but listened to Batman. She found it very interesting, how there were some simrities in You Xi Wang and The Batman.

    Chapter 221: Done & Dusted.


    LUCY followed the instructions of her master and delivered all of the conclusive evidence to the rtive departments. The process was wless and the system left no backtracks. Just like a shadow in the dark. You Xi Wang waspletely engrossed in talking about how Bruce Wayne trained himself into a vignte and how he took down bad guys.


    LUCY spoke, "Master, the task has beenpleted. The defense forces have deployed people to arrest these people. They suspect them to be rted to the familiar faction of the dark side."


    You Xi Wang stopped narrating the tales of Gotham and spoke, "Okay, good job. Keep monitoring the progress and notify me once things are done or they face any difficulty in arresting these guys."


    LUCY replied, "Affirmative."


    You Zhichi spoke, "Bro, what do you think? How long will it take for this to bepleted?"


    You Xi Wang replied after some pondering, "Given the efficiency of the officials. We should receive something well within an hour. Let''s check out the progress of thepany in the meantime."


    You Zhichi agreed and left for her own cabin. You Xi Wang called in Ste to talk to her about something. Ste appeared in front of her and You Xi Wang spoke, "It has been hard on you aunt Ste."


    Ste shook her head as she sat down, "It is nothingpared to what you faced, Young Master. Congrattions on winning the glory for our city. A lot of high circle people wanted to meet you."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Tell them I will invite them to a banquet after the solo rounds of the battle fest. Also, I have some new ideas for the future of our products. yet I want to ask you, how are the old things progressing?"


    Ste nodded and spoke, "Young Master, the game is a hit. We now have twenty million registered yers and a lot of requests have been filed to let thepany arrange a demo of the real-time game as well. Though we did not know where to start from."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Buy a piece ofnd, size should be bigger than that in the virtual game. Then arrange for a simr stadium structure to build them. The pitch and should be the same as the game and buy out a small shoe manufacturingpany. Design cleats there and rest we will deal with after the battle fest."


    Ste took down notes of what You Xi Wang spoke, she then went on, "Young Master, some automobilepanies have produced some vehicle designs topete with us. Although the effect is not so good but with more and more designs will make things harder."


    You Xi Wang understood this very well and he replied, "I will pass on a data coin to you with the designs of luxury and normal vehicles in it. Ask Andrew to buy out some more manufacturing nts. Separate the vehicles based on their series. Though make sure you keep the production in check."


    Ste nodded and kept on reporting the rted matters to You Xi Wang. The young boy was in full swing and kept on resolving the issues faced by thepany with a poised look. His Holo-Phone rang. You Xi Wang nced at Ste, who nodded and left the cabin. The caller was Daina. You Xi Wang connected the call and Daina spoke, "The defense forces arrested Arthur rke. He is sentenced to 20 years. The judgment came very quickly as that bastard confessed his crimes. The ownership rights of the house have been reinstated to Maddison. Though she is still in aa."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "It is alright. I have some matters to deal with. We wille by to check on the teacher in the evening."


    Daina nodded and then she said, "Thank You."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, without replying disconnected the call. He stood up from his chair and walked out of the cabin making his way to the R&D department. He wanted to talk to Matthew G about a new design of Holo-phone. He walked at a brick pace nodding to the employees who came across on the way.


    You Xi Wang knocked on Matthew''s cabin door. A voice sounded from inside, "Come in."


    You Xi Wang walked in and saw Minerva and Matthew having lunch. He smiled and without any formalities, he sat beside Minerva and started to eat with her. Matthew was sitting in a single chair. Minerva also treated You Xi Wang as her son, so when she saw him eating beside her without any scurples she served some of the dishes herself. You Xi Wang spoke while eating, "Uncle... new Holo-Phone design."


    Matthews ears flickered and he spoke, "Go on."


    You Xi Wang nodded while chewing on the food, he spoke, "Why wear it on the wrist and not the ear? Equipped with a mind wave sensor, operate with a thought." he was about to choke. Minerva patted his back and said, "Xiao Wang, how many times do we have to tell you? No talking with food in your mouth."


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head and drank some water to make the food go down. He then talked to Matthew for about and hour before leaving. He headed to You Zhichi''s cabin with some food Minerva gave him. He knocked on the door and You Zhichi spoke, "Come in."


    When he entered the room he saw You Zhichi operating multiple screens at a single time. He asked, "What are you doing?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "ounts and taxation."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and spoke, "LUCY, get all this sorted out."


    LUCY spoke, "Yes, master." without even waiting for You Zhichi''s action the screens started to move at a terrifying speed. You Zhichi spoke, "When did you install LUCY in my office?" her expression was confused and surprised.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "She is directly uploaded in the main frame. She can monitor every single digital action in thepany. She can only be essed from two cabins. Mine and yours. Your voice print has been added and you can also pass onmands to it."


    You Zhichi nodded and her brother served her food. He said, "Aunt Minerva sent you some food. Come eat, or you might be wrinkly old hag."


    You Zhichi shook her head at his remark and came to eat. She asked him, "Did you eat?"


    You Xi Wang did not lie and spoke, "I had two bites with aunt Minerva and Uncle Matthew. Now I will have two bites with you." he had a sheepish smile on his face. You Zhichi knew how big foodie this guys is and did not reply. Then the siblings ate in happiness.

 Chapter 222: The Bow Awakens.

    Chapter 222: The Bow Awakens.


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi spent some more time dealing with the business matters and then they left the office. Before going back home they stopped by the hospital to meet Maddison. Daina told them that the teacher woke up for a bit in the noon. She cried a lot and because of fatigue, she fell asleep a few minutes before the two arrived.


    You Xi Wang did not bother her again and after talking to Daina he left the hospital. The only difference was that Susan tagged along with them for the ride. She was living in the You Mansion. You naixin took her in because she was worried about her safety from the dark side. Also, her mother was a council employee which endangered her even more. So as one of the future daughters-inw of the family how could they avoid the threat?


    The drive was quite merry as Susan and You Zhichi kept talking about the stuff that happened in the past month. You Xi wang wanted to interject but he was sidelined by the two many times so he just listened quietly like a good driver. He drove them home and went back to his room. Celestia and Lily had made his room their den in his absence. As usual when he returned the two girls were reading something while eating cakes. They hugged You Xi Wang for greeting and then went back to reading.


    You Xi Wang took a shower and said to the two little fairies, "You two will be my guards alongside Maya okay?"


    The girls agreed instantly and sat down with rapt attention. Maya came out of You Xi Wang''s shadow and stretched herself. She walked in front of the two girls andid down on theirps. It was her way of saying, ''service me, peasants.'' The two girls were very happy to have Maya in front of them and they stroked her soft fur gently. You Xi Wang shook his head and took out the beautiful white bow from his space ring.


    He activated an istion array disk and a defensive spirit barrier array disk before he started meditating. Tonight, his goal was to interact with the bow and start refining it as one of his spirit weapons. His cultivation realm was okay and it was firm. But if he ran ahead like a fool then the foundation will copse and it will be a disaster for him. So, he decided to awaken the spirit inside the bow or toprehend the intent of the weapon.


    You Xi Wang put down the bow in hisp as he sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed. Spiritual energy circted through his body and then even passed through the bow. You Xi Wang first focused on the intent of the weapon. What is the intent of the bow and arrow?


    The bow willunch an arrow that can pierce throw blockades and pierce through the enemy. You Xi Wang recalled a tale from the earth where a n of warriors won over half of the china with bows. With this idea as his base, he startedprehension of the intent of the bow. You Xi Wang was diligent when it came to cultivation and soon it was unknown when he entered the state of nothingness.


    His mind keptprehending the intent while his body was calm. The system did not interfere this time. In the past when You Xi Wangprehended the intent of the weapons system gave him a hand to increase his mental strength but now that You Xi Wang was a full-fledged cultivator this help was not required. The system went on to read more about theputer science of Metropia using the Codex Hall ount.


    Time passed very quickly and the two little girls fell asleep sprawled over Maya''s soft fur. Maya at this moment had a confused expression on her face. She was thinking about how she, who asked for a massage suddenly became a pillow. But she was helpless, these girls were very cute to her. The mentality of a beast would evolve rapidly. They would be adults from a teen in a matter of hours. This all was the effect of the spirit energy. The beasts were blessed with superior physiques and rapid growth yet theycked the power toprehend. The humans were quite reverse then beasts. They had a strongprehension but they had weak physiques.


    It was past midnight when the bow in You Xi Wang''s hand shivered slightly. You Xi Wang did not open his eyes but Maya raised her head slightly to look at him. The majestic white beast squinted her eyes as she felt a piercing sensation radiating from You Xi Wang. She grabbed the two children using the cor of their shirts. Then Maya walked a certain distance away from You Xi Wang. Maya was a smart spirit beast. She flickered through the shadows and appeared outside of the room. {<em>IKR, she is so sneaky that security can''t do anything to her}</em>


    Maya used Shadow to step all the way to You Zhichi''s bedroom. You Zhichi''s scent trail led her there. At this moment the Heavenly Maiden was ying cards with Emily and Susan. Maya appeared next to her out of nothing. Maya waved her ws at her. You Zhichi was smart enough and she said, "Something happened to Gougou?"


    Maya nodded and You Zhichi ran to You Xi Wang''s room. Maya also used Shadow steps to follow. Susan and Emily were too slow to catch up but still, they hurried over. You Zhichi opened the door and walked in. She saw You Xi Wang holding a bow in his hand and radiating a strong piercing intent. Maya came over to the bedside and You Zhichi saw two girls sleeping carelessly. She shook her head.


    The intent was in the form of a seed and it will grow stronger. That strength was not something these children could face. Yet they were sleeping with even drooling out of their mouths. You Zhichi picked them up and walked out of the room. She spoke to Emily and Susan who just came over, "Cordon off this area. This brat startedprehending the intent of bow and arrow without any notice. Also, these two girls are just the same as him. They were drooling in their sleep. If not for Maya being smart something bad could have happened."


    Emily took the two girls in her arms and walked towards their rooms. Susan checked the two girls on the way and dered everything to be fine. You Zhichi stood at the door as a guard and Maya apanied her. As You Zhichi cultivated at the door Maya sat with her vignce high. It was just before dawn when You Zhichi sensed the door of the room giving off a dangerous feeling. She and Maya quickly moved away and the whole door was filled with holes as big as an adult''s fist.


    A loud eagle''s call echoed throughout the whole mansion. A figure shed out of the holed door. You Zhichi looked inside the room and found her brother nowhere. She spread out her soul sense and was shocked by what she witnessed. You Xi Wang was flying high in the sky. His speed was too fast and he was holding a glowing white bow in his hand.


    After a few minutes, You Xi Wangnded on the ground. You Xi Wang noticed a different pupil in his eyes. Her shock amplified. You Xi Wang blinked and his eyes returned to normal. You Xi Wang sensed the unrest of his elder sister and said, "Spirit augmentation. Perks of using the Bow Of Vandria. Swift eagle spirit enhances my speed in air and the extra pupil provides me a bird''s eye view."


    You Zhichi was surprised at this development, but she was very happy for her brother''s improvement. She spoke, "Congrattions onprehending the intent of the bow."


    You Xi Wang gave her a sheepish grin. He replied, "I only sat down to meditate and had no idea this would happen. Celes and Lily are okay, right?"


    YouZhichi nodded and said, "Yes, they are fine Maya came to me in time and I took the kids out. Though your room will need a make-over."


    You Xi Wang sighed and nodded. This room was designed by his mother and thus he was slightly down as he caused damage to it. He spoke, "It''s fine, You design theyout this time."


    You Zhichi spoke, "Why me and not your pretty future wives?" her tone was teasing.


    You Xi Wang smiled at said, "They can do it in the future big sis. What''s the hurry? Also, you stayed here for the whole night? Go get some rest. I will also take a wash."


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "We need to report at the academy. Do pack your gear and also, some medicines. I feel this time the battles won''t be easy." her tone was solemn. She had a bad premonition regarding this battle fest solopetition. You Xi Wang nodded to her and after sending Maya along with her he walked to Emily''s room to take a bath.

 Chapter 223: All Set.

    Chapter 223: All Set.


    You Xi Wang entered Emily''s room and saw that she was not asleep but was cultivating. Sensing someone entering her boudoir Emily stood up. You Xi Wang shook his head and spoke, "Sweetheart can you at least be a little more vignt? Where is your guard?"


    Emily smiled and spoke, "Who else will dare to night-raid except you? Also, I have a sword over your head." she pointed to the ceiling. You Xi Wang saw a sword flying overhead. He was surprised and embarrassed. He was the one whose guard was down and not Emily''s. He gave her a sheepish smile and said, "Can you put that sword away now, love?"


    Emily shook her head and said, "You always get your way with us sisters, Young Master. This is the first time I caught you by the nape. So you will have to pay the price. Now tell me what wind blew you here?"


    You Xi Wang did not put up any resistance and said, "I kind of blew up my room so now I need a ce to take a shower."


    Emily shook her head and pointed to the shower as she said, "The shower is all yours, but you are getting no service tonight." her teasing words made You Xi Wang sigh. This girl was getting more and more daring. He asked with a equally pitiful face, "Why do you use this word, service between each other? Should I stop talking to you?"


    Emily stuck out her tongue and said, "No emotional attacks will get you any points today Young Master, red aunt is visiting." she had a smile resting on her face throughout. You Xi Wang came near her and asked, "Are you fine?"


    Emily nodded, said, "Yes, it will be fine in a day or two."


    You Xi Wang nodded, he raised his hand to check the time and walked to the bathroom as he spoke, "I am going to get ready. We are needed to arrive at the academy early to departure." with that said he entered the bathroom and took a good shower. Then he put on his formal attire. A navy blue buttoned-down shirt paired with a beige coloured trouser. He wore a pair of tan color shoes and waist belt. He trimmed down his stubble beard to zero and went out with a confident step.


    When he came out of the shower Emily was gone. A text popped up on his Holo-Phone. ''<em>Going to the training field to practice. Take care of yourself and all the best for the tournament, Xi Wang. (shy emoticon)''</em>


    You Xi Wang shook his head and headed out to catch his sister. You Zhichi was surrounded by the army of the little devils who asked her for hugs and kisses. You Xi Wang smiled at the scene and spoke, "You little rascals, what are you doing up so early. Go wet a diaper or cry for food."


    All the kids turned their heads to face him and Lily spoke, "Xixi, we aren''t like you. Crying and wearing daipers at 5. Don''t you underestimate us. Humph." the eyes of the little girl were totally looking down on him. You Zhichi covered her mouth as to notugh at her brother. You Xi Wang did not mind the kids and he spoke, "Ohh... so you guys have grown up?"


    The kids nodded in Unisson and You Xi Wang spoke in a sonorous voice echoing throughout the mansion, "<strong>You family listen to the</strong> <strong>decree.</strong>"


    The mansion echoed, "<strong>YES, YOUNG MASTER</strong>"


    You Xi Wang grinned slyly at the kids and spoke, "<strong>The kids above five years in age, are from now on grown-ups. As a test, they will not be given an candies, sweets, toys to y and no allowance for a month. The previous credits are also to be retracted. Anyone found in vition will be punished by the familyw code.</strong>"


    The whole scene was silence then You Xi Wang issued a telepathic message, "I am messing with the kids, y along."


    The mansion echoed again, "<strong>Decree will be obeyed.</strong>"


    The kids stood like stones. They immediately started fussing about it. Some of them even started crying. Two of them evenid down on the floor and started rolling as they crowd. YOu Xi Wang held back theughter, recorded the whole scene as the two rolling cry babies were none other than, Lily and Celestia. The leaders of the alliance were the most dramatic.


    You Zhichi was a soft-hearted person and she spoke, "Okay, gougou, you grow up. They are kids." her tone was helpless. After all, she knew her brother was an even bigger kid than the little ones. You Xi Wang finally could not help but snickered and startedughing loud. He held his stomach and said, "Okay, brats, I was messing with you. Now you know that you are still kids."


    The kids were stupefied, They all stood up and rushed towards You Xi Wang. Soon You Xi Wang was drowned in the flood of the little monsters. You Zhichi helped him by scaring the children that they will be punished for messing with the Master of the family. Only then did the tide reside, revealing a mess of You Xi Wang.


    The hair were scattered and the clothes were mess. You Zhichi picked up her pretending to be dead brother up and they walked to the parking. This time there was no see off needed as the elders of the family would be invited to visit the location where the battle fest is held. You Xi Wang Drove his vehicle to the school. They were the first to arrive and they met Adonis at the gates. After they waited for half an hour the others arrived. They all chatted with You Zhichi but You Xi Wang was ignored other than the third year swordsman.


    Adonis spoke at this moment, "I will now tell you guys something. You better not lower your guard during thepetition. The council is on the move. It is suspected that the dark side is nning something big during this the battle fest."


    The team nodded and their expressions became solemn. Adonis spoke, "Also, try your best to advance but never be desperate. That will only bring you death and not fame and prestige. Always be focused and never let the opponent disturb you mental tranquility."


    The team nodded again. I mean at least half of them were the people who were among the kind that disturbs other. So they understood the meaning of the instructor. Adonis spoke, "Two final things. First, the prize for winning the contest is to be promoted as a sixth level council official working directly under, Elder Achilles. The winner will be posted at the forefront against the dark side." this sentence made them all suck in a deep breath. They were excited and anxious at the same time.


    Adonis, continued speaking after a pause, "Second, always listen to your captain, You Xi Wang. And if anyone is found to be in vition will be disqualified from the team effective immediately." then he turned to face You Xi Wang, said, "You address them one more time before the ship arrives."


    You Xi Wang nodded and stood in front of the team, he spoke in a calm tone, "We are now a team, stick together and we advance. Be defiant, I will lose the dead weight. Do you want to be defiant? The ring is the ce where you defy your opponent. Outside the ring, you will not be chirping as I don''t want to attract attention and some of you are very good at that. Remember, if you judged someone based on their looks and strength, you will be nothing but just a bunch of cowards. So be low-key and save yourself some humiliation and disqualification. Clear? Even if it is not clear, I don''t care, just like you don''t."


    The teams all had solemn faces. They did not expect You Xi wang to act like this. Then the boy spoke, "The world is very big, just like you people, their might be others, some will be lower than you while some will be better. So be humble but don''t bend and be confident just don''t offend anyone."


    When he was done speaking You Zhichi came over and she spoke to the people in front of her. Her demeanor was softer than You Xi Wang but her eyes were colder. The people in the team understood, Defying the captain would make the vice-captain angry. This anger was not something they wanted to face. The heavenly maiden will be no lesser to a demoness if she is angry.


    You Xi Wang did not say anything and nodded in agreement as he read the minds of the people in front of him. Yeah, you read that right this son of a gun has touched the surface of mind reading from the notes of The mentalist. He made sure that these people followed his lead otherwise the world right crush them brutally. You Xi Wang had no mood of losing the game.

 Chapter 224: Killing The Monkey.

    Chapter 224: Killing The Monkey.


    You Xi Wang and the others greeted the faculty and waited for the airship to arrive. In the meantime, the Maestro opened the rule book and read it. This booklet described the way the contest was going to progress.


    The first round of the contest was Primary Group Stage. Every sector had nine cities, every city is a group slot. So nine groups per sector and every sector will have separate nine groups. These nine groups will fight against each other in a ranking tournament. The top nine rankers will represent the sector they belong to.


    Then the second stage will begin, Nine random groups will be formed based on a lottery system and the top eighty-one yers will be pitted against each other. They will again fight for the top spot. This time only the group champion will advance to the third and the final stage


    They will all be dropped on a deserted ind. Their spirit weapons will be scattered over the ce. They will have to face spirit beasts and the opponent. They will have to defeat everyone within half a month. Their spirit weapons will be stored in a safe box, which will only open for them. Though other participants can hide these boxes to make things difficult for the opponents. Since they are all champions they were not allowed to kill, maim or cripple each other or they will be destroyed by the preceding officer right that moment.


    Only the third round will be telecasted live all over the world. You Xi Wang nodded finding this very interesting. He said to his sister, "Chichi, this time the contest is very interesting. I am feeling excited."


    You Zhichi shook her head and said, "Well, just don''t go finding opponents as soon as wend." she was helpless. This brat next to her awakened his martial spirit and now he gets excited at any mention of battle. This was an inevitable effect of the martial spirit awakening. You Xi Wang spoke, "Say, I have, divine thorn, purgatory, swift bow. What type of weapon should I choose as the next one? Should I get myself a pair of brawling gloves or a whip or a dagger?"


    You Zhichi raised her hand and chopped on top of his head. She spat, "Stop it gougou. You will find spirit weaponster. First focus on the first round of thepetition. What do you think should be our strategy?"


    You Xi Wang exhaled heavily and after pondering for a few minutes he spoke, "Killing the monkey. Monkey is the strongest contender of a city. Deal with them and the chicken keeps clear of us on its own." he paused and then continued, "We will all be on the same ship to the Imperial Sector. Our techno Sector city geniuses will try to probe. Yo, star eyes. You two will be the probes on our side. Let''s use some muscle in the skull."


    The two brothers were irritated but a quick cold in the air made them calm down. You Zhichi smacked the back of her brother''s head. She said, "Brat, use decentnguage or I will tell auntie Bei about you acting like a hooligan."


    You Xi Wang immediately became honest and replied, "Yes, big sis." then he looked at the rest of the team and said, "Orion, Aries. You two will interact with the other teams. You can skip the Croma city team. Jack, you will observe from the shadows. Senior Misty, you are the honey trap. Markus, you are, well, free to engage with anyone. Okay?"


    Jack spoke, "Do we have to use such tactics? Strength is the only supreme." his cold voice was filled with inconvenience toward this n.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and spoke, "Brother, this will only lower our risks, deception and observation is as important in confronting an enemy as strength and bravery. If you can kill someone using only two strokes and half your power then why must you use ten at full power? The contest has not even begun yet. We should preserve as much energy as we can. Otherwise, this will be very exhausting and in the long run, we will lose. Also, our brain is also our strength. Though remember, you are not to act too obvious or too rude. I will throw you off the ship without a parachute. Get it. All this should be done while staying low-key."


    The team all nodded calmly. On the surface they showed no change but on the inside they were very bewildered by what You Xi Wang said to them. They were nosy and mboyant type of people (Misty Shay, Orion Paul, Aries Paul and Markus Langdon). They never thought of using their mannerism in such a way. After some though they found out that what You Xi Wang said was really usible.


    The teaching faculty on the side may act like they do not care about the team discussing things but instead their ears were perked up, and they were all paying attention to the team. William Trevor was impressed by the effect of You Xi Wang''s speech. His words made the notorious bunch gain a direction while freed the stubborn one from his cage of discipline and meaningless hardship.


    You Xi Wang nodded and raised his head to the sky. He spoke, "Get ready, the ship is here." with that said, he controlled the spiritual energy circting inside him and his realm fell to peak of core formation realm. You Zhichi also did the same and her realm also became the peak of core formation realm. The others were surprised but they did not say anything. Who here was not a cultivator? They all knew that You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were running a concealment breathing method.


    This method was to save them another hole card. They were given his method by Animo Albus. You Xi Wang understood her intent and epted the method when his sister passed it to him. Although he was not afraid of anyone and did not want to conceal his realm, You Zhichi asked him whether he wants her to worry about him all the time. Helplessly the boy could only give in to this.


    The airship docked to the pier and the entry hatch opened. A man wearing the flight crew Uniform walked out. He shook hands with Adonis and spoke very intimately, "Donnie, your folks ready?"


    Adonis smiled and nced at the team. Then he said, "Can''t be more readier."


    The manughed and spoke, "Let''s go then." he dragged Adonis back to the airship whileughing and chatting. You Xi Wang spoke to the team as they walked, "You guys pretend that we are not good with each other and also, only use MetroFrame to talk."


    They all nodded and they stepped inside the airship. Inside, You Xi Wang and his sister sat down together while the others put on a reluctant expression as they sat down. You Xi Wang and Jack monitored everything from the shadows and they immediately texted in the etroframe group, "The monkey took the bait."


    Their n was now in motion. The team immediately got in action after the ship took off. The members started mingling with other seven cities. They did not bother with the Croma City. 2 out of seven members were You Xi Wang''sckeys. They will reveal everything to him as soon as he wants.


    You Zhichi suddenly frowned and You Xi Wang asked, "What is it?" he was very worried. Before YOu Zhichi could reply a chuckle echoed through out the airship. A boy wearing brown shirt and blue jeans spoke, "This beauty cannot even handle a gaze. Are you the mascot of the Silica City Team?"


    The Silica City team member who were mingling immediately fell silent. Adonis who was talking to the other instructors became silent. The rest of the instructors noticed the abrupt change in his expressions and asked, "Donnie, what is it? Are you okay?"


    Adonis spoke hurriedly, "Judy, you ask that kid to apologize to You Zhichi right now. Or I won''t be responsible for what happens next." his tone was pleading. Judy was the instructor of the Spark city team. The boy who has just spoken was a recement in their team. He was the sone of a council official. Judy knew that Adonis will never react like this if things were not serious. She spoke, "Tyrant, apologize to this student this moment."


    Tyrant onlyughed preposterously, he spoke with disdain, "Instructor, why are you saying this? Isn;t it just a casual question? This girl looks too weak."


    Judy was about to retort when a calm voice rang out, "Tell me, do you bleed?"


    Tyrant nced at the source of the voice, he saw You Xi Wang speaking. He spoke, "You are worthy to talk to me? White face, you better be quite."


    You Xi Wang stood up and next moment his figure shed and he was already in front of Tyrant. Tyrant was no more sitting on the seat but he was hanging in the air with his neck gripped by You Xi Wang. Tyrant was scared pale and so were the others. You Xi Wang spoke, "Five Mistakes, Looked at my sister with a bad gaze. Talked to her in a dirtynguage. Disrespected you instructor, Called my team weak. Finally insulted my mother. Five sins Five punishments."


    Before Tyrant could even react, You Xi Wang punched him five times in quick session. Then he dropped the half fainted Tyrant done on his seat. He spoke to Adonis, "I take full responsibility." and then he sat down beside his sister. The rest of the people were feeling surprised and awed when they heard a vomiting sound. Tyrant was coughing up blood.


    You Xi Wang broke his five ribs. This guys was the king of monkeys.

 Chapter 225: Undercurrent.

    Chapter 225: Undercurrent.


    Let alone the victim the rest of the people could not believe that You Xi Wang just shot against a council official''s son. Well, the Croma City and Silica City teams were not too surprised. They have all heard of You Xi Wang''s strength. Croma City team knew that You Xi Wang was the leader of the team that took out seven Primal soul realm dark dwellers.


    Jude hurried over to the wailing Tyrant. She fed him a healing pill and nced at You Xi Wang with a hard stare. You Xi Wang returned her nce with nonchnce and spoke, "If not for the case that he is your responsibility, I would have killed him twice by now. You as an instructor should know what rules of the council are being vited by him and his father for allowing him to travel onboard a carrier dedicated to the council affairs."


    Jude''s face changed. She finally realized that the boy in front of her was not an ordinary one. What he said was indeed true. Tyrant vited the security protocol by his presence. For risking the safety of 81 contenders, all geniuses, both Tyrant and his father could be sent into confinement for at least 10 years. You Xi Wang gave Jude an apathetic nce and sat down in his seat with his hands crossed against his chest and eyes closed.


    You Zhichi spoke to him using mental sense, "Bro, reign your temper. Don''t act rashly in the future when you face this sort of situation."


    You Xi Wang kept silent and then said, "It is better that I deal with rather than asking elder martial aunt." his sister rolled eyes at him. She did know that You Xi Wang was correct. Her master was even crazier than this brat next to her. She would torture this guy in some arrays and make him a sissy(weakling).


    Tyrant healed from the pill and cast a re at You Xi Wang with his eyes brimming with hatred. You Xi Wang sensed his gaze and released his intent of weapons aiming at him. The intent of weaponsnded on him and turned his shirt to shreds. Tyrant was stunned pale. His eyes were about to fall out of the sockets. The rest of the airship was frozen. You Xi Wang spoke, "Next time you cast a gaze like that at me, or even had as much as a notorious thought. I will shred more than just your clothes."


    His voice was so cold that Tyrant felt a chill running down his spine. His body was now covered with cold sweat. He just sat down there like a frozen mannequin. No body came forward to help him. His arrogance was a problem for the people from his city as well.


    ...


    While You Xi Wang was taming a little young master. A person in Emerald robes was walking around a secluded Ind. It was as if he was moving around leisurely, inspecting the surroundings. This man was Heath Ashton, deputy elder, defense department. Today he came here to check the ind for any security risks. No one of the posted guards suspected anything. How were they to know that this respected person was actually doing something wicked.


    He would look around from time to time. Sometimes he would touch a random stone, or sometimes it will be him stomping on the ground. His actions werepletely random. Quite contrary to his appearance. This man was cing hidden traps around the ind. These traps were secret dark array. This array could suck off the sprirt energy in the environment and the practitioner near the array. He also set up some teleportation arrays to help the dark dwelling bugs toe over the ind and ask the council for ransom after taking control of the location.


    It may look like a kidnapping but the dark side was nning to do something very big this time. If they were able to the dark side will receive a boost of among their ranks. This conspiracy will shake the world and start a war between both sides which will not be contained by the shadows. The man kept doing hi work when suddenly the space behind him twisted and Achilles appeared. He spoke, " Deputy Ashton. What are you doing here?"


    Heath Aston bowed to him and replied with a slight smile on his face, "Elder, this ce is where the youngon''s will be ying, I wanted toe around for a stroll to check if everything is okay."


    Achilles nodded and asked, "So what do you think? Is everything okay?"


    Heath Aston nodded and fooled Achilles. Achilles was a strong man and Heath has been by an impressive person, rose from the bottom earned himself a name. He was smart and courageous. His battle feats were counted among legends in the defense force department. Achilles treated this guy very well.


    After talking for a bit Achilles left Heath alone on the ind. This cunning snake kept doing his work without showing any changes on his face. This was his skill, he could manipte his emotions so well that even gods in heaven may believe him for a chance. Heath ASton was busy inpleting his traps around the ind.


    ...


    The airship docked and the hatch opened. A Council Official waited for the people toe out somewhat nervously. This man was called Duke Marceles. Tyrant was his son, who was at the helm of the crowding out of the airship now.


    Duke smiled and waved at his son. His son did not give him any usual reaction but came to his side and embraced him. Duke felt over the top of the world when this happened. But his happiness did notst long. A cold voice swept over him, drowning into an icy abyss. You Xi Wang spoke, "If you tired to mess around after what your son will tell you. Then I will upload a video of him in the airship on the metromet and also send it to the council headquarter. Be clear of us and you will stay safe."


    Duke frowned and he was pissed. He looked at the boy talking to him not moving his lips and he was shocked. Then his shock became fear as Tyrant whimperingly told him about what happened in the airship. For a whole day You Xi Wang tamed him with ash everytime he spoke out of term and his behavior was rude to anyone. Although it may sound cruel but it was extremely light going by You Xi Wang;s usual methods.


    The teams scattered leaving the father-son duo alone in the dock. Adonis brought them all to their amodations and before parting he said, "Be careful if you go out. Don''t mess with others and avoid conflict."


    The team nodded and decided to rest for a little but before the lottery for the first round starts. You Xi Wang called his girls to talk to them a little flirted with them a bit before calling home and checking everything in the family.


    His mind was at peace but suddenly, he had a bad premonition. This was because he recalled his sister telling him that it will might not be an easy to winpetition.

 Chapter 226: The First Round.

    Chapter 226: The First Round.


    You Xi Wang called his master and talked to him about something for a few minutes. Then he took a short nap to restore himself. Today was the first round of the battle fest Solopetition. A total of 81 people will fight against each other. The top nine with the most points will advance to the finals. You Xi Wang woke up took a cold shower to cleanse himself.


    He wore his battle suit directly before walking out. His battle suit has been revised by him. It was gray and ck, if he had it the way he would have added a ck cape to it. You Xi Wang had used the batman color scheme at it. He walked out of his room to meet the rest of the team. You Zhichi was wearing her as usual white and blue battle suit the only change was that half of her face was covered from the lower part. She did it to avoid the unwanted attraction that may lead You Xi Wang to go berserk. After all his martial spirit has been awakened only recently and is still a little influencing.


    You Xi Wang shook his head at her as he knew why she did this. The instructors then took the team to a building that looked like a lotus blooming. Adonis introduced them to this building, "This is the Arena of Gods. Since the formation of the council, everybat exam has been held here in this building. Today you all will be fighting with each other in virtual reality but your pain sense will be the same as reality. This is to make the examination faster and more efficient. Inside the virtual realm you may feel pain during a match but as soon as the duel is finished your pain will be relieved. This way you can fight non-stop and to the fullest. Though I still rmend that you avoid any fatal attacks as it may leave some pain infliction in real life."


    The students were all shocked and excited. At this moment You Xi Wang asked, "Instructor, what about the weapons? How will we get them inside and how much of the actual strength can be disyed?"


    Adonis shook his head and said, "Kid, you sure know how to pick a pulse. Your weapons will be recreated based on your recollection of them. You all will be able to use 80% of your weapon''s true strength. Happy now?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, they walked inside the building with Adonis and the other instructors. There were already a lot of people present inside the building. All seemed to be children, who came over for the contest. You Xi Wang had no interest in interacting with anyone and sat down on the floor. He meditated to calm his increasing battle lust. You Zhichi stood guard beside him. Adonis spoke, "We will be inside in a bit so you all try to adjust your mind."


    The students nodded and sat down. Around twenty minutes passed when Adonis spoke, "Come we are up." ever since You Xi Wang beat the daylights out of Tyrant, Adonis has also risen in his standings among the instructors. You Xi Wang followed him along with the others. They entered arge hall equipped with 81 chairs. It seemed as if this hall was designed for the contest itself.


    Adonis spoke, "Getting the chairs, and put on the helmet on the side and calm your minds."


    The students sprang up into action quickly and they put on the helmets before sitting down in the chair. They leaned back in the chair and calmed down. You Xi Wang saw a HUD countdown in front of his eyes. The countdown hit zero and the scenery changed.


    He nced down and saw his battle suit was a hundred percent simr to what he was already wearing. This must have been because of the sensors inside the chair. In front of You Xi Wang, an opponent stood. An ethereal voice spoke, "Battle starts in 3... 2... 1..."


    You Xi Wang shrugged and rushed at his opponent. The same scene took ce in everyone''s brain. You Xi Wang did not end the fights as fast as he can. But grinded his opponent with an average time of 3 minutes per person. He limited his strength to the peak of core formation and fought with all of his foes.


    The whole thing was evesting. The instructors were able to see the performance on a tablet equipped above the headrest of the chairs. Adonis walked behind the other students from the Silica City academy. He did not even bother to look at You Xi Wang and You Zhichi. These two were monsters in human skin. You Zhichi has never really shown her all and the same was true for You Xi Wang ever since he woke up his martial spirit.


    The time flowed and it was evening. Every student was covered with sweat as they sat inside the chair. This was not only a test of battle prowess but mental power as well. Some students could not hold on but faint. Adonis held back a valuable piece of information which was a test for all of them.


    The day fell and just before the moon rose the round finished. You Zhichi took first, a guy named Alexis Sanchez took first and You Xi Wang took first as well. Alexis tied against You Zhichi and You Xi Wang. While both the siblings tied against each other as well.


    Three firsts, a coincidence or not? They will knowter. Jack also ced in the top 9 with Misty Shay. 4 out of 9 were Silica City kids. This broke the others a bit but sparks a re of getting better inside them.


    You Xi Wang stood up from his chair and gave a stink eye to Adonis. This time he was lucky and did not use too much stamina fighting or it would have led him to quit early. Thanks to the fact that he had a system as well. He then turned to see his sister who had a pale face at this moment and he wanted to beat Adonis to pulp.

 Chapter 227: Detection Array.

    Chapter 227: Detection Array.


    You Xi Wang walked up to his sister and supported her as they walked out of the hall. He spoke to Adonis who was walking beside them, "Instructor, we will be sparring tonight. You better arrange a good spot for the activity." his eyes were spraying the fire of rage.


    You Zhichi on his side was exhausted at this moment. Her face was pale and her forehead wasyered with sweat. If not for You Xi Wang''s support she might have fallen. You Xi Wang med the all-knowing instructor for this condition of his sister. Adonis regretteding over here in his heart. He spoke in his defense, "You Xi Wang, it was the rule set by the council. We had taken a heavenly oath. How could I tell you something like this?"


    You Zhichi spoke in a feeble voice, "Instructor Adonis, it is alright. Don''t believe his words. He is just ignorant." she patted You Xi Wang on the shoulder to calm down. You Xi Wang snorted, "Humph, next time at least give us a hint. That Alexis definitely had an inkling about all this otherwise given his skills can he tie with my big sis?"


    You Xi Wang was not acting like a sore loser, but his words were correct. Even though they did not reveal their cultivation, how can the mental energy of a Primal Soul Cultivator be lower than a core formation realm? This round made it clear that Alexis was warned. Adonis lowered his head in shame. He thought everyone will be just like him. He cursed his naivety. He said in a low voice to the four Silica City qualifiers, "Next thing is to face them head-on. That is all I can say."


    You Xi Wang refuted, "Humph, Actualbat. What are you mystifying it for?" this boy was so hyped at this moment that he could not wait and go fight with someone. As they chatted among themselves, they had reached their lodgings. You Xi Wang helped her sister to the room. Sat her down on the bed and walked out as sheid down to rest. Then he went to his own room. Took of the battle suit and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.


    Aftering out he sat down in a lotus pose and started to cultivate. Lately, he has been cking off. The system spoke as soon as You xi Wang started to gather the spirit energy in his soul sea and merge it with his soul avatar.


    [Master, got a piece of good news for you.] the voice was excited.


    You Xi Wang asked, ''What is it?''


    The system spoke, [Say the magic word.]


    You Xi Wang could imagine a smirk on the system''s face if he had one that is. He spoke, ''Okay. Tell me the piece of good news, you almighty Shit cake.''


    The system reacted, [Yes, that''s what...] he caught upte and he exploded directly, [You fucking dung cake. You can wait to find out the news yourself. I don''t give a fuck.]


    You Xi Wang thought for a moment and said, ''Okay, huh, you win.'' he paused for a little deliberately and then said, ''I won''t ask you anymore.''


    The system reacted in an annoyed voice, [Listen here you little shit... I don''t care if you want to know or not. I will tell you. Okay. I will speak and you will have to listen. LUCY has sessfullye up with an array arrangement to detect the dark energy fluctuations.]


    You Xi Wang froze for a bit and then said, ''Thank you. I needed this news.''


    The system spoke, [Now you say thank you? Fuck off you ungrateful piece of shit.]


    You Xi Wang did not say anything but opened his eyes. Then he opened his eyes and said, "LUCY, project the array arrangement for me." having artificial intelligence gave him an edge. He input hisprehension and research and the systembined the existing arrays based on hisprehension and created a new array.


    LUCY replied, "Right away, Master." as soon as she was done speaking a ray of the hologram was projected over the Holo-phone. You Xi Wang spoke to the system, ''I remember how Tony created a new element. I am feeling the same now.''


    The system spoke, [Tony stark was a yboy and you are a fucking virgin. So shut up and don''t make me hate you 3000. Sissy.]


    You Xi Wang immediately wanted to find someone and kill him. Wel he exhaled heavily and called his Master. The call connected and Alester Book spoke, "Wang''er, the thing you asked me is done the results show nothing wrong. You can rx."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Master, I havepleted the dark energy detection array. Can you ask Martial aunt to engrave this array on a pair of eye lenses and then search again? If a single thing can be detected then it would have fulfilled its purpose."


    Alester Book was surprised to hear such a piece of news. He agreed to it and asked You Xi Wang to send him the design. The boy acknowledged and made a transmission through LUCY. He asked LUCY to encrypt the file before sending it to Alester Book. He was very careful in his actions.


    After the transmission wasplete the boy sat down in meditation. The rest of the night was nd. Everyone ate their meal in their beds. You Xi Wang checked on his sister once before going to rest and found that her condition has improved. He still asked her not to take too much pressure.


    The night passed silently and early in the morning, the four people were all ready to go to the arena. Adonis walked over and his face had a wry smile. He spoke, "Umm, let''s go."


    You Xi Wang was smacked on the back of his head for giving the instructor a stinky re. You Zhichi spoke in a stern voice, "Gougou, behave. Do you want to defy mom''s teachings?"


    You Xi Wang immediately became honest. He followed behind his sister with his head bowed slightly the whole way. It was as if a kid has been scolded. It was very hrious to watch. The system was having a ball at this moment. But too bad his puns were only for You Xi Wang to hear.

 Chapter 228: Face Breaking.

    Chapter 228: Face Breaking.


    You Xi Wang and the others walked to the Arena Of Gods. Today You Zhichi was not wearing a mask as You Xi Wang purposefully to it away from her and then did not return it to her. A lot of young geniuses were attracted to her and the same could be said about girls who saw You Xi Wang wearing his ck body-fitted battle armor. They entered inside after showing their ID tags.


    A young man wearing the golden battle armor suddenly walked up to You Xi Wang. He stood in front of him with a proud face. You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow. The boy spoke with a haughty manner, "You are the silica city captain, right?"


    You Xi Wang was even more arrogant, who did this guy think he was toe over and make him talk? Was he worthy?" The boy in the ck suit was pissed off from yesterday and this was a very good object to express his anger. But before he could do anything he felt a hand on his shoulder, it was You Zhichi. The heavenly maiden spoke, "Calm down, reign it in."


    Her words were meant for him to control his wild battle lust. You Xi Wang nodded and took a deep breath. He replied to the boy with a poker face, "Yes, I am."


    The man in the golden suit nodded and said, "I am us Van ude. Captain of Imperial City team. I challenge you for a fight." his tone was very impatient. This guy has been wanting to fight against You Xi Wang ever since the day he delivered the closing speech. Today finally he can be face to face with him. He could not hold on and Issued a challenge publically. You Xi Wang had a firm Martial Heart and his Martial Spirit.


    These two things did not allow him to back down or it may cause his cultivation to regress. He spoke with his eyebrow risen, "I ept. Let''s go sign the agreement. If I by chance broke you to pieces, I don''t want to be called in for." his tone was cold. He was raging to go at this guy right now. How dare he challenge him.


    You Zhichi did not say anything but said to the team behind her, "Let''s pray it is not too painful."te night after discussion You Xi Wang, You Zhichi, and Alexis Sanchez were pinned as the leaders. Although it was not official, they were all tied for first. You Zhichi and You Xi Wang did not fight with all their strength and mutually called a tie. But when they hear You Zhichi''s words to Jack and Misty they thought she was asking them to pray for her brother.


    After all the opponent was the captain of the imperial city. The Arena of gods allowed people to challenge each other and since the incident took ce in the public it spread like wildfire. A staff attendant led the two people to a special ring. He told them, "Arena of God, allows people to challenge each other but you cannot main or cripple each other. Duel is a matter of honor so if you are found using and despicable methods. You will be rectified immediately."


    The two people nodded and stepped into the ring. Their Holo-phones rang and they selected the agreement between each other. They made a pact for an all-out fight but no killing was allowed. us said to the ck-armored boy in front of him, "Are you ready?"


    You Xi Wang only nodded and a holographic countdown started in front of him. As soon as the countdown finished, You Xi Wang jumped in the air and made a roundhouse kick. us had already rushed at him when the bell sound originated. This was a nano-second advantage but it was a good advantage.


    The kick connected and us took back two steps, but You Xi Wang a person who would let him toy with him? Never, so his figure flicked, and next second a big <strong>BOOM</strong> sounded. You Xi Wang punched the daylight out of the retreating us. The golden boy took another two steps back. Unfortunately, for the golden boy, they were allowed to use weapons. You Xi Wang took out his bow and shot a spirit marble.


    Suddenly, us felt dizzy and the next thing he knew was pain. You Xi Wang rained his body with punches. He wore his jade brawler gloves and the barrage began. He used everything he could think of, uppercut, liver blows, one-twobination, hook. As if he was not content enough You Xi Wang started to mix in kicks with his blows. The audience was bbergasted as they saw the Imperial City Captian getting thrashed that too without a chance of counter.


    You Xi Wang was suddenly the devil.


    ...


    In the Education Department Headquarter, Alester Book was drinking tea as he scrolled the MetroFrame. He suddenly saw an acquaintance broadcasting live. Out of curiosity, he clicked it open, and the next moment he sprayed the tea in his mouth with a puff. His colleague was an attendant in the Arena of Gods and right now he was disying the golden boy being tortured by You Xi Wang.


    He was shocked because this golden boy was Achilles''s grandson. This boy was a little haughty but his skills were not bad. He immediately dialed Achilles''s number to tell him about the situation.


    ...


    Meanwhile, The golden boy sessfully distanced himself from You Xi Wang and roared. Lightning covered his body. Lightning is the most ferocious element. It can deal devastating damage. He took out a sword and rushed toward You Xi Wang. The phantom did not budge. His figure shed all over the ring avoiding the attacks made by us. You Xi Wang muttered, "Humph, so you learned thunder shes."


    You Xi Wang took out his spear and started to counter us. The audience around the ring gasped, the wind around them turned turbulent all of a sudden. You Xi Wang waved his spear, he was dancing as he countered use''s sword attacks.


    ...


    They were unaware that high above in the sky two people were looking down at them. They were Achilles and Alester Book. Achilles spoke, "Fuck you old man, you tell me this young one is your disciple?"


    Alester Book spoke with pride, "Yes."


    Achilles spoke in amenting manner, "This boy saw through Thunder Swords. His battle prowess is insane and I can say that he is still holding back."


    Alester Book replied, "Hmmm, young us is also holding back but his means are not asyered as Wang''er''s"


    Achilles spoke, "Yes, You Xi Wang is umting aura. us has never suffered a set back this is a good chance, but I just hope You Xi Wang is not too hard and breaks his martial heart."


    ...


    Down in the ring, You Xi Wang stopped in his tracks and aimed his spear at us who stood wrapped in lightning holding a sword. A 9 feet long lightning snake formed over his head. He spoke to You Xi Wang, "If you can take on this move then I will admit defeat."


    You Xi Wang exhaled heavily, the wind started to gather above his head and a twenty feet big foggy white dragon formed over his head. us was surprised but then nodded in appreciation. In this battle, he has found out that he is not invincible. A slight sword intent radiated from his sword.


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow and let loose his spear intent. The two people charged at each other and the audience backed away in advance.


    <strong>BOOM.</strong>


    As soon as the two people collided us''s face changed. He was able to sense the aura radiated from You Xi Wang''s spear intent, the dragon''s head had increased by five times. He heard a voice, "Since you held back, I will also hold back. Yet still, you are a good opponent. You made me bright to 60% of this move."


    us roared, "Lightning Viper sh."


    You Xi Wang spoke in a cold voice, "Five-Fold, piercing dragon."

 Chapter 229: Encounter.

    Chapter 229: Encounter.


    <strong>BOOM</strong>


    A dust cloud rose in the ring as the two people collided. The audience sensed a tremor passing through the ground. This impact was still contained by the safety arrays. You Zhichi smiled faintly. The others, who were looking down on You Xi Wang suddenly felt something fishy.


    The dust settled and two figures standing opposite each other came into vision. us was standing tall holding his sword but his face was pale. You Xi Wang was still rxed as his spear stood beside him. us closed his eyes and some color appeared on his face. He said to You Xi Wang, "You are strong. I admit defeat." his expression was pained. You Xi Wang''s attack dispelled his own attack and even managed to make hime to an abrupt stop.


    This showed how fine was You Xi Wang''s control over his energy output and ording to him this was just one of his cards. us felt pained in admitting defeat but he had to show respect to the person who let him off easy. If the impact would have been stronger then us might have sustained injuries.


    You Xi Wang sensed the pain in his voice. us was a young man and the system has told him that he was being watched by some experts. During the fight, he had developed a good impression of the opponent so he said in a calm manner, "Those who can look past a momentary defeat will always rise higher. But if you want to give up then you better kill yourself. My opponent should be a cultivator who lives to defy heavens and not a sissy."


    With that said You Xi Wang walked out of the ring. us stood in the ring looking at the back of the retreating You Xi Wang. He smiled and spoke in a low voice, "One day I will win you."


    You Xi Wang raised his hand without looking back and said, "I will be waiting for your challenge."


    His demeanor made a lot of girls go mad, their eyes sparkled as soon as they set their gazes on his stalwart figure. He was simply a feast for their eyes. You Zhichi held her forehead and cursed in a low voice, "This poser."


    Behind her, Jack smiled and Misty chuckled. They were used to their captain pulling stunts like this. The teams then came to a big hall where 4 big rings were established. A man wearing samurai armor stood in the center of four rings. He spoke in a loud voice, "<strong>Today, we will be holding the second round of thepetition. The rules are as such. 81 people will choose a lot. the one who is not paired against anyone will be then disqualified. Luck will not help you advance. Cultivation is 99% effort and if 1% luck. This is negligible. The remaining participants will be put into 9 groups of 9 people. They will fight against each other. The champion of the groups will advance to the third</strong> <strong>stage.</strong>"


    His words made people feel bad. After all, it was unfair to the one who is not paired and to is eliminated without a fighting chance. But the pressure the man gave off made all the protest die down before it was even born. The contestants did not dy and lined up in two queues. You Xi Wang felt a stare on his back and turned back to locate the source of origin. He saw a girl with green hair and green eyes looking at him with a curious gaze. She wore white battle armor. Her appearance was very warm. You Xi Wang could not take off his gaze.


    He sent out a mental transmission to the girl, "Miss, it is rude to stare at someone, you know?"


    The girl was shocked to hear a voice inside her mind. She understood that it was You Xi Wang who sent her the transmission. She gulped a mouthful of saliva. This boy in front of her was a Primal Soul Realm. He was two years younger than her. A glint of longing shed in her eyes. She wanted to achieve this realm so that she could talk to others. You Xi Wang was observing her every moment while the system controlled LUCY to gather the information of the girl.


    The efficiency was good and within thirty breaths he got an answer. The system spoke, [The girl cannot speak, her name is Gena Langford, 18 years old born with congenital muteness. Not curable with existing means. She does not have vocal cords. Heavens blessed her with beauty but did not give her a voice. She was assigned to the imperial city team as a technical advisor butter she challenged a seeded yer and won the battle fair and square. So they allowed her to participate.]


    You Xi Wang was surprised but then he sighed. He nced at the girl, ready to send another mental note when the system eximed, [DAMN ME. THIS GIRL IS BLESSED WITH A EYE PROWESS. FUCK. MASTER. SHE CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR FIVE ELEMENTAL CORE. HIDE.]


    You Xi Wang ignored his plea and asked, ''What is the eye prowess called?''


    The system replied, [PUPIL OF TRUTH. Capable of seeing through the depth of a person''s physique. Can ignore illusions. Complete 360-degree view. The best part, all these things won''t make any changes in the eye''s appearance. Not useful on the soul.]


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, ''Oh, pity, would be cool if it allowed anyone to teleport, it would be a proper rinnegan.'' the system was exasperated.


    You Xi Wang sent a mental note to the girl, "Can we meet after drawing lots? I would like to talk to you. Also, please keep my secret a secret as I keep yours." his calm voice rang inside the girl''s mind.


    It was fine till the first sentence but when she heard about his discovery she was in fright. You Xi Wang did send her a mental note to trust him for not leaking her secrets to anyone. Only then did the girl calm down.


    You Xi Wang choose a lot from the box in front of him. It was a green ball with the number 24. You Xi Wang walked to the side and stood by his sister. He asked, "What is your number?"


    You Zhichi spoke, "33."


    You Xi Wang nodded and reported his number. Several of his friends came to his side as they were done choosing lots. And soon came a beauty with green hair. He was about to go over to talk to her when a group of burly men came over. The leader had a ball number 33 on his waist and beside him was a simr-looking boy with a ball 38. The leader stood in front of You Xi Wang''s group and spoke to You Zhichi, "If you surrender before the fight I will spare your pretty face."


    You Zhichi was calm and so was You Xi Wang. His calm hid a strong rage. You Zhichi spoke, "You can leave." her cold voice surprised the burly boy. He snorted and said, "I will break you to pieces in the ring." and he left. The guy with the number 33 seemed to be the leader but in actuality, it was the boy with the number 38 who was the leader. You Xi Wang was very calm and a smile appeared on his face. He was pissed because he heard their mental conversation. He then walked over to Gena Langford and with a smile said, "Hello, nice to meet you. I am You Xi Wang."


    Gena nodded at him with a wry smile. She could not speak at all even the signnguage might affect her growth and thus she did not learn it. She did not want to have any excuse to slow down her progress. You Xi Wang asked, "What is your lot number?"


    Gena raised her ball and it showed 38. A very charming smile appeared on You Xi Wang''s face. Yet Gena felt scared of this smile. She had a bad premonition. You Xi Wang asked after walking close to her, "Can you exchange your lot with me?"


    Gena was confused. You Xi Wang sensed it and narrated how a person irritated him by being rude to his sister. Gena hesitated but then agreed. You Xi Wang thanked her and said he would invite her for a mealter.


    He parted with Gena as the contest was about to start and You Xi Wang spoke to his sister, "Kill them with Kindness."


    You Zhichi nodded with a smile. She was going to make that man regret it. Are they taking her kindness and soft-spoken nature as a weakness? Humph, she will make him pay.

 Chapter 230: War Maiden Awakens.

    Chapter 230: War Maiden Awakens.


    Everyone started fighting and soon the referee called, "Battle Number 31." You Xi Wang patted on his sister''s shoulder. He said, "Fight with your all. I believe in you. Don''t hold back."


    These three sentences affirmed You Zhichi''s battle intent. She nodded and her eyes shined. She walked over to the main ring under a lot of gazes. Some projected lust, while some projected adoration. Some even projected doubt and disdain. You Zhichi could hear a lot of whispers.


    "She looks so delicate, how can she fight with that barbarian?" a girl spoke.


    A friend beside her also agreed, "Yes. That barbarian looks very cruel as well."


    Simr statements were issued as You Zhichi walked to the ring. She stood opposite a man twice her size. She was calm and her heart did not ripple. The man stood bare-chested. A sarcastic smirk etched to his face. He spoke in his heavy voice, "I promise, I will break you, Little girl."


    You Zhichi did not reply she nced at the referee. The elder in the samurai armor spoke, "Begin." his word has just fallen when a blood flower bloomed on the ring.


    The audience was surprised. The barbarian was surprised.


    You Zhichi''s figure was still standing on the spot as before, but in her hand, an ice blue long sword gave off a terrifying glint. Just now she unleashed her sword intent. It was the intent that attacked the barbarian, leaving a shallow wound across his chest.


    The barbarian was surprised, he belonged to the war sector. They were a tribe specialized in physical strength. His body was strong enough to kill a level 4 beast with his bare hands, yet he was the first one to suffer a wound in this fight. He became angry and roared.


    The burly figure shed, appearing before You Zhichi. A big fist as big as a melon was thrown at You Zhichi''s head. The heavenly maiden has been assimting her weapon, intent with her blood to awaken her martial spirit ever since her parent''s passed away. Despite her outstanding talent, it took her more than half a year and her brother awakened it sooner than her.


    With a calm heart, she dodged the fist by ducking left. She used the hilt of her sword and with a backhand hit the barbarian in the ribs. Then quickly she walked to the side. The barbarian was strong and felt little impact. He kept attacking,, but You Zhichi kept grinding him with the hilt of her sword. She fought with this man in closebat.


    ...


    You Xi Wang below the stage had his hands behind his back and his eyes were closed. He could hear the exmations in the crowd. Yet he kept his eyes closed. If the barbarian managed to hurt his sister, he might kill the barbarian thus closing his eyes and meditating was the best way for him.


    The match continued, and You Zhichi exchanged with the man on equal footing. Some bruises could be seen on her face. The man was not aplete brawn for brains, he managed tond punches on her face asionally. The thing which creeped out the people was that all the blows were aimed at You Zhichi''s face.


    ...


    You Zhichi retreated, avoiding a punching at her face. The barbarian retreated, a strong swording at his abdomen. He red at You Zhichi and said, "I will break your face into an ugly mess... Bitch."


    You Zhichi''s temperament changed. A thinyer of ice formed on the ring floor. The gigantic man frowned. He felt a cold. Despite his strong physique, he felt a chill from the surrounding air. He wanted to end the battle before You Zhichi could attack. He rushed forward with his fists aiming at You Zhichi, but his movements slowed down with every step he took. The temperature was also getting colder with every step.


    You Zhichi''s eyes suddenly shone with blue light. A huge phantom appeared over her head. The whole arena was shocked. The huge phantom belonged to a woman, glowing with blue cover. She held a long sword in her hands. Armored with bracers, pauldrons, and breasttes engraved with snowke designs. The material spirit mutates based on your elemental affinity. The experts in the imperial city reacted instantly and appeared in the sky.


    Shelton hammer, Alester Book, Animo Albus, Achilles, Lady Willow, and some other elders of the council appeared in the sky. They nced at the phantom and heaved a sigh of relief. Achilles spoke, "Only a martial spirit awakening."


    He nced down and saw You Zhichi. His eyes shone with light. He spoke again, "Such a beautiful girl. If she could marry my grandson..." his words had not yet finished when Animo Albus snorted, "Humph."


    Achilles nced at her and asked in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"


    Animo Albus replied in a cold voice, "The girl practices Maiden Heart Sutra. The spirit she has awoken is called, Warrior Maiden. She is You Xi Wang''s sister and also My direct disciple. I warn you old misers, do not mess with them or My master won''t hesitate to visit you."


    Her cold was enough to scare these guys. Animo Albus was the head of the Array Hall. This was not a ce of the council but an organization set up by The mentalist to promote array knowledge. She also threatened them with her master''s name so of course, they were sacred that man was a peak expert.


    ...


    On the ring, You Zhichi started attacking the barbarian wildly as soon as he came with the sword range. The cold made his movements slower, and he suffered a lot of wounds. You Zhichi did not give in and kept pushing. The phantom of the spirit started merging with her. The color of You Zhichi''s hair changed slowly. From ck to icy blue. Her eyes also changed, from ck to dark blue.


    The two colors represented water and ice. Her strength soared to a new high. The man felt pressured. He retreated. He took out a war hammer from his space ring. This weapon was a relic.


    Relics differ from spirit weapons. They are formed after an expert of Nirvana rebirth realm wills his cultivation to mold his dead body into a weapon. The strength of this weapon would be one realm higher than the practitioner. The barbarian was at the peak of the core formation realm. The weapon increased his strength. You Zhichi awoken at this moment. On her body appeared an armor just as that of the phantom.


    ...


    The martial spirit can be awakened by two methods. One is to rapidly assimte the weapon''s intent in the blood, and the other is to perform the assimtion slowly over a longer period. The slower the assimtion, the better the control over the spirit. It is just like raising a pet the more time to spend on it, the better the bond.


    ...


    You Zhichi saw the weapon and sensed the increase in the man''s power, and she released her shackles. Her strength also stepped into the Primal Soul realm. With the martial soul, she can face this guy with one hand. She nced at the barbarian and said, "Come."


    The man rushed over to her with all his rage and swung the battle hammer. You Zhichi avoided and avoided his attacks. She did not counter back this time but kept dodging the war hammer. This hide and seek dampened the atmosphere, and some people even asked them to stop dodging and fight.


    You Zhichi turned deaf to all this and let the man attack her. He yelled, "Are you a rat? Why keep hiding?"


    You Zhichi replied, "That is because my brain works fine. I want to see how long can you swing it like that."


    Her taunt made the man angry and again he started swinging his hammer, this time he even included kicks in his attacks. You Zhichi found a suitable opportunity when the man lunged at her with his hammer. The heavenly maiden stepped forward instead of avoiding the lunge, and after holding the man with his shoulders, her knees delivered a barrage of bombs to his ribs.


    The motive was not to hurt him physically but to make his breathing disrupted. You Zhichi seeded in her venture and then her sword danced. Soon the manid in the pool of his blood. You Zhichi nced at the referee. The old man spoke loudly, "You Zhichi Wins".


    The arena was silent, and then it erupted into superb apuse.

 Chapter 231: Identity Revealed.

    Chapter 231: Identity Revealed.


    You Zhichi walked off the rind, but the barbarian lying in the blood pool flicked his finger. A silver needle flickered moving at a fast speed toward You Zhichi''s neck. The referee was not prepared for someone to take such a step even after his warning. The first thing to do was to save You Zhichi.


    The Heavenly Maiden was exhausted after the first time use of her Martial Spirit. Her guard was down, after all, who would dare to sneak up and attack in the Arena of gods? Well, she was wrong. In the sky, Animo Albus moved but the distance is too great.


    Thedy screamed, "Chi''er, move." her voice was still faster to reach the maiden than her body. You Xi Wang moved, his soul sense was locked onto the ring from the moment the referee announced the start of the battle. The moment the barbarian''s hateful gazended on the back of his sister. He had moved.


    His figure flickered and with an azure glow, he appeared behind You Zhichi and caught the needle urately. The referee sighed in relief. He turned to the barbarian and spoke in a loud voice, "WHAT COURAGE? HOW DARE YOU COMMIT THIS BLASPHEMY IN THE ARENA OF GODS? YOU MONGREL!!!"


    The barbarian trembled yet in his eyes the defiance prevailed. The referee waved his hand and two guards walked up. He roared, "Hold him in confinement. He will be dealt after the battles today finish."


    You Xi Wang spoke at this moment, "Elder, may I say something?"


    The referee nodded to him. You Xi Wang said, "Can you make him stay here and watch the rest of the battles? He attacked my sister. I want to exercise the right to punish. He must not leave my sight."


    The referee has yet to answer when another barbarian mored, "I would like to see, what color are your guts to speak like this. Do you think my barbarian n will let this happen?"


    The speaker was none other than contender number 38. The actual leader of their team. Usually, this person would have kept quiet. He would have even let the council deal with his teammate. But You Xi Wang dared to meddle. Uneptable!


    You Xi Wang gave him a nd gaze and said, "I am counting on your attack to stop me. That would give me the reason to make you and your whole n know, how blissful death can be." his calm appearance made people shudder. People would be calm only when they are sure of themself.


    The barbarian refuted, "Humph, you wish. I will tear you apart. Then I will visit your home and erase your family from existence." he was angry.


    You Xi Wang became even calmer as he heard this. Terrifying killing intent radiated from him. The barbarian was surprised, this porcin-faced kid, how could he reveal such a dense killing intent. You Xi Wang spoke to the referee in a cold voice, "Is it possible for us to fight right away? We are both contender number 38."


    The referee shook his head, he said, "The rules are meant to be followed."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Strong make the rule." he paused and raised his head to the sky, "Esteemed seniors, would you not empower the rights given to us juniors by the council?"


    Everyone thought that You Xi Wang was acting mysteriously. The barbarian sneered at this sight but suddenly the scolding of the judge, the humiliation by the crowd aimed at You Xi Wang, that he imagined did note. His gaze was focused on You Xi Wang and did not nce around at anyone else. He shifted his eyes to look at the referee and found him ncing at the sky.


    He raised his head and was shocked by the sight. The 9 elders, who were recognized and revered by everyone, stood in the void. The sacred aura radiated from them. Everyone present sensed an impulse to bow down to them. The barbarian was shocked to see such a strong line-up.


    In his mind, a series of questions shed, ''Why are they here? Is this normal for them to appear in such an event? This guy, who is he to make the elders of the councile forward."


    No one knew, when they had appeared, Animo Albus''s shout was isted, could only be heard by the person she meant for it to be heard by. So nobody knew when they arrived. Ironically, even the elders except for Alester Book and Animo Albus were all shocked to see this youngster perceive their presence.


    You Xi Wang flew up in the sky, he stood in front of Alester Book and bowed down to him. He said, "The disciple calls to Master for a fair ruling."


    His words and actions shocked everyone. They did not expect him to be a disciple of the elder of the council. us in the crowd was equally surprised. He smiled bitterly as he shook his head, ''<em>This guy hid too deep.</em>''


    Alester Book has not yet spoken when Animo Albus spoke in a high tone. She did not hide her voice anymore, "Wang''er, Martial aunt approves of your proposal. I ask the elders and the participants, does anyone has any objections?"


    No one came forward. The barbarian''s face changed. Alester Book heard themand of his senior sister and approved You Xi Wang to take action. The boynded back on the ring. He bit his finger with his teeth. He spoke in a loud voice, "I swear upon my blood. In this battle, no one will intervene, no one will make it difficult for you if you win." he made a blood oath. He turned to face his sister and said, "Go down, I will deal with this, first. Don''t worry" his tone was soft as silk. A lot of girls melted at this scene.


    A caring brother, fighting against a monster for the sake of his beloved sister.


    The barbarian instantly let go of any scrupulous in his heart. He did not expect You Xi Wang to be so upright. Although he is a barbarian, he was not honorable. All he believed was in strength.


    He raised his head and walked up in the ring. As soon as he stepped out he released his Primal Soul Realm cultivation, took out a relic epee. He was now as powerful as peak Primal Soul Realm. His confidence was good. He spoke to You Xi Wang, "Don''t worry, I will keep your face clean so that the world can recognize you after death."


    You Xi Wang did not react and took out his sword, both his arms were suddenly shrouded with a faint ck fire. He spoke, "I will keep your soul so that the people can learn from your mistake and be more honest."


    Alester Book said a word, "Begin." the word echoed throughout the arena. You Xi Wang flickered and shed, but the barbarian was stronger at this moment, he defended himself by blocking the sh with his epee. You Xi Wang did not back off, the ck fire on his arms suddenly moved and formed thin vines of ck fire. You Xi Wang smirked and said, "Hell Fire Vines."


    The vinestched on to the barbarians relic, You Xi Wang shunned the barbarian away. The barbarian tried to control his epee but it was rejecting him. He roared at You Xi Wang, "<strong>WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?</strong>"


    You Xi Wang smirked and said, "Wee to hell." with the words, his eyes shed with silver light and the barbarian was surrounded byvakes, the people became skeletons, the whole scenery was echoing with ghostly howls.

 Chapter 232: Torment.

    Chapter 232: Torment.


    Witnessing such a drastic change in the scenery around him the barbarian was panicked and started to fight with You Xi Wang.


    ...


    In reality, the barbarian stood frozen with You Xi Wang smiling at him as if he just found himself a toy. This smile sent a chill down everyone in the audience. They even thought that You Xi Wang was twisted in his mind. Well, he was twisted in a way.


    He readied his sword to attack the barbarian, that is when the guy who attacked You Zhichi shouted, "You call yourself fair? If you have the guts then face our prince without any illusions. Weakling." he did not hide his disgust for You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang wanted to kill the guy in front of him right away. But when he heard the words of this person he sighed. He said, "You just added to his torment."


    He snapped his fingers and undid the illusion. The barbarian in the ring took back two-three steps. He looked at You Xi Wang who let his sword float in the void as he put on his pair of jade brawling gloves. The barbarian spoke, "You used mental methods on me. I, Momoa Khal, will kill you."


    With that said he charged at You Xi Wang. The handsome devil did not back off and greeted his iing fist in kind. They both took a step back. But the barbarian felt a strong shock his hand was almost numb. He was still in a slight daze when a golden fistnded on him.


    <strong>BOOM</strong>


    This was the sound that originated from the fist movement. You Xi Wang''s blow created a sonic boom. He did not stop his fists attacked the barbarian wildly. His aura was as if a tiger walked out of the forest and was left to ughter a fleet of sheep. The barbarian also did not budge and kept exchanging blows with You Xi Wang.


    <em>ZHENG!!!</em>


    Suddenly lightning appeared around You Xi Wang''s fist. The whole audience was shocked.


    Someone spoke, "Did he not use wind element before? Why is it lightning?"


    Another cultivator replied loudly, "Bumpkin, he is using double attributes. Do you get it? Dual Spirit affinity." his words made the people feel bewildered. They were excited, now that contest will get even more interesting.


    The lightning fistnded on the barbarian''s fist and body. It electrocuted his body on a micro-level. It was as if a lot of killer ants biting him. You Xi Wang deliberately controlled the amount of Lightning he poured out. He wanted to torment the barbarian slowly on both mental and physical levels.


    The n worked and the barbarian was irritated. He suddenly took out a double-handed ax, attacked You Xi Wang ruthlessly. The maestro was not a rookie, he took out his spear and released his spear intent. The divine thorn in his hand trembled and let out a shrill sound. Then You Xi Wang stabbed it forward.


    <em>CLANG!!!</em>


    The two weapons collided, the attack did not seem to advance more but the barbarian suddenly wailed. A hole appeared in his shoulder. You Xi Wang cleverly stabbed one and a half times. That half stab released a spirit energy wave and opened up a hole while the full stab blocked the approaching ax.


    Momoa Khal, roared, "<strong>I WILL KILL YOU.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang smirked and swung his spear, the shaft hit the barbarian prince on his side, making him retreat. The maestro was enjoying this game. You Zhichi''s mental transmission sounded at this time, "Wrap up, Arena Of Gods is not a ce where you humiliate people. He may be narrow-minded but he is a good warrior."


    You Xi Wang sighed and put his spear and sword back inside the space ring. Then he took out the swift eagle bow. He said, "My sister said you are a good warrior, I should not humiliate you. But you dared to have schemes against my sister. That I will never forgive." next thing he did was stretch the bowstring to a full moon. A spirit arrow formed on the bow. You Xi Wnag released it and with a <em>WHEEZE</em> it shot out.


    The barbarian squinted his eyes, ready to block the arrow but the next second he felt dizzy.


    "<strong>AARRGGHHH</strong>" a loud wail echoed in the arena.


    You Xi Wang''s arrow took out the barbarian''s leg. There was a hole in his thigh, as big as a fist. The attack created a hole in his uninjured left arm. The wail continued.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "You did not admit defeat. Good. But now you can notpare either."


    The referee asked the Barbarian, "You want to continue?"


    Momoa Khal looked at You Xi Wang with hatred. He said, "I will return this shame tenfolds."


    You Xi Wang said with a smile, "It is fine if you want toe at me. I wee you with open arms but if you ever thought about hurting my people even in your area,s. Then I will capture you and start killing everyone in your n as you watch. Do you understand?"


    Momoa Khal spoke, "I swear on my blood. I and neither will my people trouble your family. This is between me and you."


    You Xi Wang nodded and let the barbarian go down. Momoa Khal made this blood oath because he was aware of You Xi Wang''s identity. If his people found out that he behaved in such a way and even offended someone of this high origin. They will definitely ask him to leave the n. So keep it between us, he was confident in beating You Xi Wang in the future.


    You Xi Wang also walked off the ring and the matches continued, but too bad his battle as already gathered too much limelight that the rest look pale inparison. The first stage of the second round came to an end. The second stage started but You Xi Wang''s opponent forfeited. You Zhichi on the other hand was defeated.


    Yes, she fought with Gena Langford. The girl used her vision prowess and found out the ws in her attacks. After You Zhichi could not break past her defense, she epted her defeat saying, "We will fight the day I can see through your defense."


    The two girls parted with a happy smile on their faces. Animo Albus nodded and Shelton Hammerughed loudly, "Elder Albus, your disciple did not lose to mine in vain."


    Animo Albus nodded and said, "If she had used her martial spirit things would have been different but as a heart of the maiden, she would not take such a step until it is necessary. You found yourself a good one, Elder Shelton." she was proud of her disciple to be able to know that her powers can harm others which was not a good thing.


    You Xi Wang spoke to his sister, "Shall I win her to avenge you?"


    You Zhichi smacked the back of his head and said, "Be careful, I might tell Yuki and the others about this."


    The two started quibbling unaware that someone was already eyeing them with malice in his heart. The third round of thepetition was set to be a dangerous one for them.

 Chapter 233: Array Hall.

    Chapter 233: Array Hall.


    So the knockouts came to an end, other than You Xi Wang, Gena Langford, us Van ude, 6 more people emerged as the top seeds. They were Chen Yuping, Isaac Fort, John Hart, Mace Williams, Emerald Ranger, and Zen Shoto.


    The presiding elder announced the name and asked them all to go back to rest and prepare for the third and final round tomorrow. Slowly, the crowd poured out of the arena of gods. You Xi Wang became the only one to represent the Techno Sector. While the Imperial sector got two people. The Chen family genius, cousin to You Xi Wang represented the blizzard sector. Yes, the Chen family was one of the strongest families in the region.


    As for the others well they were from five different sectors. John Hart was from Victoria Sector, Mace Williams came from Coastal Sector, Zen Shoto represented Eashen Sector, Emerald Ranger was the native of the Tropicana Sector. Issac Fort came from the Coin Sector. they all had their specialties. Only Mysterious Sector did not qualify. They were a sector that was famous for a tourist ce. People would go there to just spend their credits.


    You Xi Wang was about to leave when Animo Albus spoke from the sky, "Chi''er, you don''t need to go with them. Master will take you somece."


    You Zhichi smiled at her brother ruffled his hair and said, "Take care and be safe. I will be here." her voice was warm and gentle as she spoke to her brother. You Xi Wang hugged her briefly and said, "Don''t worry andter tell what Martial aunt took you."


    Animo Albus spoke, "Brat, I can hear you."


    You Xi Wang shrunk his neck and stuck out his tongue at his sister. Then he bowed to the elder and spoke to Animo Albus, "Take care senior martial aunt. I hand over my sister to you." then with a spring in his step he left.


    The elders were surprised to see the boy use such a tone. He emphasized the words ''my sister'' a bit too much just now. Alester Book had a cold sweat on his forehead. They all did, after all, Animo Albus was the strongest among them. Thedy sighed and said, "This brat will definitely kill me if Chi''er suffered any pain."


    Achilles asked in shock, "Elder, what do you mean?"


    Animo Albus replied, "His personality may seem rampant but he is very calm. He will wait and suffer till the moment he is strong enough and act decisively. If you guys saw how he kills dark dwellers then you might lose some sleep. He is a sadist to them. To such a level that he would make them beg for death every time he deals with them. He is good to you until you are good to him and his family. He respects me that is why he only used the words but his eyes were clean. He is a good chap, reminds me of master sometimes."


    The others were shocked to see such a high evaluationing from Animo Albus. After thedy took You Zhichi with her they all left as well. You Zhichi asked Animo when they were flying, "Master, why can you not use the Space teleportation with me?"


    Animo Albus exined to her patiently, "While traveling in space, your body experiences a strong omnidirectional pull. We in the Nirvana rebirth realm can handle this force but we are not able to fend it off for someone else."


    You Zhichi asked another question, "Master, is it true that one needs to destroy their physique and soul, then rebuilt it to cross the Nirvana Rebirth real?"


    Animo Albus nodded and said, "The process starts with the skin, then, muscles, bones, organs, blood, soul, and finally spirit core and dao. The first five are easy to understand as it suggests the person first destroys their body and then they rebuild it. From outside to inside. This is the first level of the realm, after you have crossed this threshold you canprehend the space rule and learn teleportation. This is also the first interaction with rules. The second realm is to destroy and rebuilt your primal soul. This process is slow and very painful. You will need to use your primal soul to leave your body and then be baptized by the sunlight." she paused and then continued.


    "Soul is yin while the body is yang. Sun is yang while the moon is Yin. One has to burn the soul into Yang to purify yin, and in the first realm, you need to absorb the yin energy to break and rebuild the body. Then the spirit cores. In the case of a single element you just need topress it and the smaller it is the better. While someone like You Xi Wang will need to merge andpress them. If any element is out of bnce then..." she nced at her disciple at the side who was listening all this with a calm face.


    She continued with her exnation, "Thest thing is Dao. Sensing the existence of dao is thest part. Someone who can realize what they seek in life can get over it easily but those who don''t have a clear mind will have to spend a lot of time toprehend the existence of their Dao. As you are done with this step, you face a tribtion from the heavens, and after sessfully passing it, you will step into the Dao Formation realm." at this point, Animo Albus stopped speaking.


    She spoke, "We have reached our destination." You Zhichi who was immersed in her exnation snapped out of it and focused in front of her. In such a short time they seem to have flown a long distance.


    In front of her stood a mighty mountain and Animo Albus said, "Wee to the seclusion ce of your Grandmaster, and also the site of his sect, The array hall. After the battle fest, Wang''er will also visit here. Come let me take you to meet the master." You Zhichi was shocked to her core at this moment. This was not something she expected when she set out with her master.


    This ce was a sacred ground for cultivators. And today she was allowed to step inside, only today did she became the disciple of Animo Albus in the truest sense. The twodies flew over the mountain and the peak of the mountain was a pce.


    Yes, the pce was not on the peak, but the whole peak was cut out into a pce. This pce was called the Array Hall.

 Chapter 234: Meeting Animus.

    Chapter 234: Meeting Animus.


    Animo Albus took out a token, held onto You Zhichi''s hand. Only now did You Zhichi found a thick golden barrier around the pce. Her master told her, "This is the Grade 8 defense barrier ovepping a grade 9 killing array. Set-up by the master himself. No one in the world can yet break past it. Without the token, no one can get in otherwise, even the soul will be eradicated. This applies to all below Dao Formation. Come, let''s go."


    You Zhichi doubted in her heart when she heard thest statement. Animo sensed her doubts and said, "You can ask your grandmaster about it." thedy let out a rare chuckle.


    The pce was simply decorated. Some night pearls were embedded in the ceiling and the walls to light up the scene during the dark. You Zhichi followed her master silently as she observed the surroundings. The girl was now aware of array knowledge, and thus she could perceive that every corner of this ce was engraved with reinforcement arrays and traps. Be reckless and die.


    Soon, under the lead of Animo Albus, they reached the highest ce in the pce. It was a watchtower in the center of the pce. At present, an old man sat in the center. Long white hair and an equally long white beard. Yet his clothes were free from dust and dirt. The whole person even gave off a glow.


    Animo Albus silently kowtowed to the old man, You Zhichi followed her actions. They sat down in the ce. The old man opened his eyes. His ck eyes were as if an abyss. You Zhichi was smart and did not look into them directly. The old man nodded and said, "Animo, is this your disciple?"


    Animo nodded and said, "Chi''er greet your grandmaster."


    You Zhichi was sitting on her knees, knocked her head nine times on the ground and said, "Disciple You Zhichi has seen Grandmaster."


    Animus was surprised when he heard the name. He spoke in an ethereal voice, "Who is, You Xi Wang to you?"


    You Zhichi replied with a slightly prideful smile and shiny eyes, "He is my younger brother, Grand Master."


    Animus chuckled, "Very good. No wonder I sensed Martial Spirit resonance between you two."


    You Zhichi smiled. She did not show it on her face, but she could feel Animus'' voice through her body. She was sure that Animus was sitting in front of her, yet she could not sense his presence, it was as if she was talking to air.


    This made the heavenly maiden very ufortable. Animus sensed it and said, "My realm is the reason you cannot yet sense my presence child."


    You Zhichi nodded, she asked, "Grandmaster, I have a question, may I?"


    Animus nodded, the girl asked, "When entering the pce, Master said that a grade 9 can affect people below Nirvana rebirth realm, does it mean it will not work against those above nirvana rebirth?"


    Animus replied, "After one steps into the Dao Formation realm, they will see through all the barriers, illusions, and even existence of the being itself if they are gifted. So, when they can see through the arrays, how can it affect them?"


    You Zhichi asked again, "Then how do you stop someone in the Dao Formation realm?"


    Animus said, "Compare the way of Dao. Now you answer a question. How will you win over someone else''s dao?" he had a mysterious smile on his face. His question was even a surprise to Animo Albus. She wanted to say something, but You Zhichi beat her to it.


    The maiden replied, "UMM... Every way of Dao is equal. It''s not about being strong or not, it''s about the most suitable one for you. So the only way to win is to pursue your own Dao with a firm belief." her voice was calm, her eyes were firm.


    Animusughed out loud and praised, "Good disciple. I gift you two things. A different fire, although you have Ice and Water constitution, this different fire will be suitable for you. It is a fire of cold nature. Second, is the Yin maiden cultivation method. This method was gained by your Martial Uncle when he raided an ancient ruin." the thrilling voice echoed in the pce.


    You Zhichi hesitated, thought that the Yin cultivation maybe not orthodox. Animo Ablus sensed her doubt and was about to scold her, but Animus spoke with a chuckle, "Child, Yin is not unorthodox. You tell me, are Sun and moon unorthodox?"


    You Zhichi shook her head. Animus continued, "Yin is easy to be cultivated in the night. It is just as orthodox as Night. Come take it." as soon as his words dropped, two floating objects appeared in front of him.


    It was a booklet and a ball of fire. The booklet looked very normal and mundane, while the ball of fire was bluish-white. It gave off a terrifying chill. You Zhichi first kowtowed and said, "The disciple apologizes for doubting grandmaster." Then she spread both her hands to ept the two things.


    The two objects floated over to her, but the book flew directly inside her brows while the ball of fire entered her dantian. You Zhichi was surprised and looked at Animo Albus in worry. Thedy smiled and said, "Chi''er calm down, sit down and meditate, the fire inside your dantian will not harm you."


    You Zhichi hurriedly sat down and cultivated. Animo Albus spoke to Animus with mental sense, "Master, what do you think?"


    Animus replied with a smile, "She is a good girl. Groom her to take over the Array Hall. Start gathering forces. The time for the war is near."


    Animo Albus asked again, "What about Wang''er? What do you think of him?"


    Animus replied, "That brat has a five elemental physique, he hasprehended three weapon intents and can use arrays as well. If he found his sister on the front line, then he will not battle with all his might. You Zhichi is his strongest support. Let Zhichi be his support and he will bring you hope. You Xi Wang will be the young general of the war force and also the youngest God Of War." with that he closed his eyes and went back to meditation.


    Animo Albus sat there with her usual beautiful stone face. But one thing was sure from this conversation. A great war ising, and they had nned. As the three were busy with their matters, You Xi Wang was also busy nning for the 15 days trial.

 Chapter 235: Fernier.

    Chapter 235: Fernier.


    Imperial Sector, You Xi Wang was strolling through the busy streets, he was looking for a shop to buy himself a good set of gloves, dagger, andbat shoes. In his mind, he decided the direction to evolve.


    He had three spirit weapons mastered, the next weapon would be his fist, dagger, and kick. This was because he had three main weapon categories mastered. The bow for long-range, the spear for mid-range, and the sword for short-rangebat. It is not always possible to use weapons instantly so closebat should be strong.


    He found himself in a shop which had almost no customer. He did not think much but walked inside casually. The shop was anything but clean and pretty. A thickyer of dust was left on the floor with some footprints. A dingy counter was ced on the right-hand side as soon as you entered.


    Behind the counter stood a man wearing an eyepatch and bandana. He seemed to be dozing off. You Xi Wang spoke, "Uncle, do you have some good brawler gloves, dagger, and Combat boots?" it may seem that he is casual but his words and tone were concise and not too mboyant.


    The man replied as he sat in his chair, "Two rules of sales, First clean the shop. Two, the customer should be a master of two-spirit weapons."


    You Xi Wang was surprised but looking at the shop it won''t take too much effort so he waved his hand and a small twister, as tall as his knees, formed on the ground. Under You Xi Wang''s control, the twister gathered all the dust spread in the entire shop. He guided the twister to a dustbin. Then he made a water sprout of the same length and used the same technique to spray the shop with tiny droplets.


    The master of the shop slightly opened his right eye, nced at the process but kept lying down there like a log. He did not know that all his actions were being scanned by the system.


    The system spoke, [Yo, Master. This old guy is as strong as Achilles. Just remove the killing intent.]


    You Xi Wang was surprised as he heard this but he did not show it on the face. After the water sprout was done with spraying, the boy picked up a towel, and then his figure shed. In thirty minutes he cleaned the shop. Then nced at the old man who was still lying there like a log of wood.


    He smirked and the next moment the old man was trapped inside a blob of water, technically, he should be scared but his strength was enough to dispel it. The reason why he got caught up in this was that he did not expect You Xi Wang to pull off something like this.


    He waved his hand and dispelled the blob and was about to roar in anger when a strong heatwave dried him up.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "The shop is now clean, Sir."


    The old man who was about to angry suddenly stopped. Then he decided to ask the reason behind this young man''s action. He asked in a calm tone, "Tell me, what is the reason for you to trap me inside the blob of water?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "You said, clean the shop. So just like Dao is me and I am Dao. You are the shop and the shop is you. Thus, I cleaned you as well."


    The old man was shocked and he closed his eyes, You Xi Wang felt the concentration of the spirit energy increased in the shop and it all seemed to be moving to the old man. After a few minutes, the old man opened his eyes. He spoke, "You are good seed. Who is your master?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Alester Book." his voice was calm.


    The shopkeeper received another shock in his heart. He spoke, "The educator found himself a good treasure."


    You Xi Wang humbly bowed slightly. The old man continued, "I am Fernier Canine. Well, you didplete the first part. What about the second condition?"


    You Xi Wang waved his hand and three weapons appeared next to him. The old man only had one of his eyes left, as soon as it fell on the weapons it shone. He nodded, "Not bad, you also have a dual affinity."


    You Xi Wang chuckled, "Do I?"


    The old man nced at him again, he stammered, "Fuck, Fi... Five elements. Are you kidding brat?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head. The old man said, "Wait here, I have what you need."


    With that said he went to the shelf behind him and took out three boxes. He opened the first one and said, "White Tiger Brawler Gloves. Made from a meteorite that fell on Metropia back in the days. A white tiger was present near the collision and thus the spirit resides inside. Compatible with earth and metal element." inside the box lied two white transparent gloves. Engraved with exquisite array patterns. You Xi Wang was satisfied with these.


    Fernier opened the second box and said, "Silver ho Dagger, the fastest bird found in Metropia. The dagger is made from star iron and tungsbin allow. The spirit of Light Ho, a level 8 magic beast rests inside. Compatible with the wind element." a blueish dagger, covered with arrays was revealed.


    The third box opened and inside were two knee-high boots. They looked like a normal boot but the toe of the boots had a te wrapped around. Fernier Canine introduced, "Ram Boots, the leather is derived from a level 7 beast diamond horn ram. The horn was melted and processed to be the toe te. The arrays make it flexible andfy duringmute and the kick is powerful enough to kill a level 6 beast in one swoop. Again earth attribute."


    You Xi Wang was done. This was the best set of weapons he could have found in one shop. He asked, "How much do I pay?"


    Fernier said, "Call you old master here, that bastard has not shown his face in decades. I will have him bleed. Hahaha..."


    You Xi Wang happily agreed, called his master urgently, and then the three people had a good time. Afterward You Xi Wang left the shop and headed to the hotel. On the way, he met Gena Langford.

 Chapter 236: OP.

    Chapter 236: OP.


    The next morning, before the sun could light up this part of the world, nine youngsters stood in the front of an elder. The Arena Of God was the meeting ce they were all asked to report, but the reporting time was way too early. The elder was not the one who was presiding over the matches yesterday.


    This person had a long beard, he wore a cotton long shirt and denim pants with slippers on his feet. He had some chains and bands around his neck and wrist, respectively. This man gave You Xi Wang the expression of a hippie. The man had a two feet long white beard. He spoke in a husky voice, "Well, good morning, so now I will need your spirit weapons. They will be locked into different boxes, find them yourself on the ind."


    He pointed his thumb at the bunch of boxes behind him. These boxes were all equipped with finger-print scanners, iris scanners, voice pitch scanners, and also heard beat scanner. Then came a bunch of grade 6 killing arrays, grade 6 defense arrays. This thing was so safe that you will need a top-level array master to open it himself.


    The arrays will be opened by the tokens provided by the council. Otherwise, triggering it will be a disaster for anyone. The elder spoke, "You all will be given one packet of dry rations. You can team up to survive. Just remember one thing, no maiming, no killing, no crippling, or your entire families will be killed right away, and this is not a joke." his tone carried a chill so strong that it froze the heart of these youngsters.


    He continued in his husky voice, "If you find someone struggling against a situation, help them. Any other questions?"


    You Xi Wang asked, "Sir, can you tell us, how are wepeting?"


    The elder suddenly pped his forehead, "Oh, look at my old face. I forgot the main thing." He took out nine wrist bands, threw them to the youngsters, and said, "Snatch it from the others, the one with the higher number wins. Okay, go store your spirit weapons inside the vault boxes." he waved his hand as if fanning off a smell.


    The youngsters had no choice but to store their weapons inside the vault boxes. They were all observing each other. The number of Spirit weapons would tell them how much potential the other party has. Well, they all had at least two spirit weapons. You Xi Wang, shocked them when he took out three glowing weapons.


    The higher the glow on a weapon, the higher the mastery. Purgatory let out a shrill hum as soon as You Xi Wang took it out. He spoke in a soft voice, "Rest well, we will have a lot of work to doter."


    The sword then floated into the vault box. The same thing happened with the spear and the bow. After storing the three You Xi Wang asked the old hippie, "Elder, what do I do with my unawakened spirit weapons?"


    These words shocked the people to a whole new level. Chen Yuping was the only one who shook his head with a smile. He knew his cousin was a pervert but this guy still had unawakened spirit weapons, that an ultra pervert.


    The elder was surprised, but he was told that this guy is Elder Alester''s direct disciple so he did not find it too shocking. He said, "I will inspect them. If they really are unawakened then you can take them with you but if they are awake and you are found lying, then too bad I will detain you here."


    You Xi Wang nodded and directly handed him the three spirit weapons. The crowd wanted to gang up on this bastard. They did not have three, and he was flexing six. The elder was surprised by the quality of his weapons. He nced at the boy and asked, "Fernier?"


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. The old man shook his head and said, "That old ghost hasn''t bled so much in some decades. Good job. Yeah, these are unawakened. You can take them."


    You Xi Wang stored his weapons back in his battle suit. The elder spoke, "How many of you have a spirit beast." three people replied with a yes.


    You Xi Wang was one of the other two were Zen Shoto, Mace Williams. The old hippie spoke, "Call them out."


    Zen Shoto took out a crystal pendant, a leopard came out of it. The elder nodded, "Good, Wind cloud Leopard, grade 4 magic beast." his words made both the master and the beast happy. Mace Williams took out a simr pendant, and an 8 feet high bull appeared in front of everyone. The bull radiated a strong, oppressive aura.


    The hippie elder smiled, "It has been long since I saw a Fire Blood Buffalo. Good fortune." the bull snorted. It was a proud grade 7 beast, after all. Zen Shoto looked calm and did not mind.


    You Xi Wang whistled. Suddenly a white-furred Maya came out from his shadow. His shining fur was captivating and even though she was a grade 6, her cold gaze made the buffalo beast back up by two feet.


    The elder was shocked again. He asked, "How can a snow hound live in the shadows?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Maya is a hybrid, elder. Half Night-hound and Half Snow-hound." his words were enough to shatter the elder''s world view. He knew how rare it was for a hybrid hound beast to appear.


    The elder asked You Xi Wang, "Do you know Dark Dwellers pet Night Hounds? Why do you have one as your spirit beastpanion?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and replied, "Simply, because, I found her in the whispering woods as a cub only a few days old. Her mother died fighting a blood tiger. I saved them. Ever since then Maya is by my side."


    The elder and the others could detect that You Xi Wang did not hide or lie about this. The elder nodded. Everyone else had another thing in their minds, that was if You Xi Wang did a stealth raid on them then it would most probably take them out. They all sensed the pressure grow by ten times.


    The hippie elder spoke, "Let''s go, you will be all deployed by air drop. Survive the air drop from 30,000 feet. Reminder: The sky is filled with predator bird type beasts. Some of them are even Grade 8. Then you will need to survive in the forest."


    The youngsters sighed. You Xi Wang issued a mental transmission to Gena Langford and Chen Yuping, "Wanna team up?"


    The two people nced at him and then nodded. You Xi Wang spoke again, "Do you guys have that wingsuit in your battle armors?"


    Chen Yuping shook his head while Gena Langford nodded slightly. You Xi Wang said, "Cuz, you need wing suit to survive the dive. Second, we are going MIA for the first week."


    The other two were confused by his second sentence. Yet, since they put their trust in him, they saw things through. Chen Yuping changed his battle suit before getting into the airship.


    The nine youngsters departed with the old hippie.


    ...


    A man wearing emerald robes sat behind a table. This man was Heath Ashton. He stood up and walked to the washroom. The mirror on the wall turned and a ck-cloaked figure appeared. The figure inside the mirror spoke in a hoarse voice, "Is everything ready?


    Heath Ashton replied, "Yes, master. Just wait for the full moon, we will seed. These nine are strong and they have enough vigor to help us achieve our goal."


    The ck figure nodded and said, "You don''t need to y a dog of the council. When the time arrives youe to the altar in person, I will need help toplete the incantation."


    Heath Ashton nodded, and the mirror turned back to normal. The man walked out of the washroom, and nced out of the floor-to-ceiling window as he thought, "Soon, it will all be changed. What a pity."


    ...


    The airship was smaller, but the speed was many times faster. Inside sat nine youngsters, in front of them an old hippie was walking back and forth. He took out nine body cams from his ring and said, "You call have to wear it on your person all the time."


    Jack Hart spoke, "Elder, we were told about this earlier." he was hesitant to wear a body cam andpromise his privacy.


    The hippie turned cold. He rebuked him, "Do the council need to tell you everything? Wear it or go home."


    Everyone immediately became docile. You Xi Wang took his body cam, and a smile emerged on his face when he nced carefully at it. A thought emerged in his mind, ''Such a good reward. Nice. Hey, thinking of reward, did I notplete the system mission for killing Edward Colt? OYE SYSTEM COME OUT YOU MASS OF FOG. WHERE IS MY REWARD, BITCH?"


    The system spoke, [Umm master, hehe, I forgot. You were so busy then, I was so busy. Hehehe..."


    You Xi Wang snorted, ''Cough it up, bitch. Or I will stab the spear through my head. MOFO.''


    The system then said, [Hot rewarding up.]

 Chapter 237: Chicken Dinner For The System.

    Chapter 237: Chicken Dinner For The System.


    The airship flew through the sky. As the distance between the ship and the ind lessened the roars of flying beasts increased. But it did not affect You Xi Wang. At this moment he was sitting with his legs crossed, his hands rested on his knees. His eyes closed and his deep breaths were steady.


    A few minutes ago...


    [Master the rewards forpleting the system task is... Comprehension upgrade.] the system spoke. It may sound like the reward is very stingy but You Xi Wang did not make a fuss. He was even excited to have this reward.


    He spoke, "You have the body control. I want to break the threshold of grade 6 array master."


    The system was shocked about his sudden decision. You know You Xi Wang will never let the system take possession of his body. This time it was clear how much You Xi Wang wanted to get past grade 6 array master. The systemplied, [Command epted.]


    You Xi Wang sat down in meditation, the system isted his consciousness and took over the driving seat. They were the same entity, so the difference wasn''t too much.


    ...


    Time passes as You Xi Wang sat in meditation. Soon the old hippie spoke, "Get ready, we have arrived. God be with you." his words made the youngsters gulp as they all stood up from their seats, heading toward the hatch door.


    The system drove You Xi Wang''s body. The eyelids fluttered, two deep obsidian ck eyes were revealed. The system thought, ''so this is how it looks in the first person perceptive.'' it manipted the body to stand up. Stretched the body to get used to the actual motor sense of the body.


    <em>{From now on the system is in charge of the body until further notifications. We will still call the MC You Xi Wang as the system is quite a weird name, and any changes will be confusing.}</em>


    You Xi Wang nced at his two teammates, Gena Langford and Chen Yuping. After a nod, the three people took the lead and came to the hatch. You Xi Wang spoke, "If you guys don''t mind then we would be going first. Is that okay?"


    He asked the other six people because he did not want them to use him of being taking a headstart. The elder did not react and observed the situation silently. The six youngsters did not raise any objections. You Xi Wang held his fist with his palm and gestured towards all of them.


    The hatch opened with a <em>WHIZZ</em> sound. The ind below was visible. It was covered with vegetation, while the four sides were endless water. The hippie shouted softly, "<strong>GO.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang and his team did not hesitate and jumped off the airship hatch. The cold wind hit the three youngsters. It made their souls shiver. They were jumping from a height of 30000 feet. You Xi Wang tried to use his flight power but it was of no use. He issued a mental note, "Fall into a formation, otherwise, our speed will be slow enough for a bird to eat us. Also, there is a barrier around here so we cannot fly. Don''t waste your brain cells."


    The three people had jumped almost together and they were just a few inches away from each other. You Xi Wang held both of their hands and said, "I am increasing the speed of our descent." with that said the boy controlled the wind spiritual energy and the speed actually increased. It was not a happy thing. After all, a big blue-green silhouette was moving towards them in the sky really fast.


    You Xi Wang did not panic, he nced his head against the air pressure. Heid his eyes on the silhouette and smirked. He used the camo spirit skill he shared with Maya. The skill covered both his teammates. Chen Yupin spoke, "Bro, it ising closer."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Chill. It cannot see us."


    Chen Yuping was confused, he spread his spirit sense outwards and noticed that the bird monster had turned away. He asked, "Why?" in confusion.


    You Xi Wang chuckled as he replied, "Maya shares a bond of equality with me. We can use each other''s skills. This is her skill, Camouge. As long as you are close to me and we are connected I can make us disappear for a few bits."


    His words shocked the two people a lot. But then they could only sigh in their hearts, this guy was a monster himself. The dive was quick and they only had 1000 feet left. You Xi Wang let go of their hands and said, "Use the wingsuit and follow the air current."


    He deployed the wingsuit and controlled the air to provide him sufficient uplift. The two others followed his steps. They traveled very fast. Suddenly after three hundred meters, Chen Yuping shouted, "Fire Falcon, diving in on us."


    You Xi Wang was aware of this but this shout meant that his team was vignt. He maneuvered the wind current and the three people made a nosedive. By now they have dropped from thousand feet to 300 feet. You Xi Wang was gradually decreasing the distance between the surface and his team.


    Their total discement was 300 meters but in circles. You Xi Wang took back his hands and legs to close the wingsuit and when he was a hundred feet from the ground. He abruptly opened it back up. The sudden air pressure decreased his speed. As a primal soul cultivator, he was good enough to make a cleannding from at least 300 feet, so now hended easily.


    The two people behind him were also trained inbat and were cultivators. They alsonded safely. You Xi Wang spoke, "Let''s go, we find the covers and hunt this bird. I want to eat spicy chicken tonight."


    The two thought he was joking, they quickly hid among the trees. Soon, the fire falconnded on a tree not far from them. The bird was covered with red and orangish feathers. Looked wonderful but YOu Xi Wang had decided to eat it. So, he used the shadow skip and appeared under the tree where the bird was.


    His movements were so steady, smooth, and calm. Then he let Maya out of his shadow. He said, "When it is about to use its beak to peak me you will take its neck. Okay?" he wasmunicating with the spiritual bond they had so, the bird could not listen to them.


    Maya nodded and replied, "Big brother Xi Wang, be careful this bird is fast."


    You Xi Wang patted her big head and yelled, "<strong>HEY CHICKEN, COME TO PAPA."</strong>


    The ming falcon was a grade 6 beast, how could it not understand what You Xi Wang meant. It was insulting him, this maggot-ish human. Dared to look down on his death? Is he so foolish to not know that he is about to die?


    The falcon was pissed. Suddenly with a big cry, it flew towards You Xi Wang. The boy stood his ground and did not move. Just when the bird was a couple of meters away from You Xi Wang, Maya appeared from a shadow. She attacked the predecided spot, the neck, and held it tightly between her jaws. You Xi Wang waved his hand and created a big ball of water around the bird''s head.


    Two-pronged attack, Maya suffocated it, while You Xi Wang elerated the process of Hypoxia for the bird. Maya hardened her grip around the throat. You Xi Wang controlled the lightning spirit energy and formed ayer around his palm. His figure flickered.


    The bird struggled even harder because You Xi Wang had stabbed his palm right at its heart. The boy''s hand was prated through a heart as big as two ser balls. He did not waste the blood of the magic beast, quickly took out a spatial bottle. Took out his hand-collected the blood dripping from the hole in the heart.


    The bird''s eyes were dim. You Xi Wang stored the body back in his spatial ring and said to his team, "Let''s go guys, we need to move from here. The blood smell will attract more beasts, also now we have enough food for a week." as he washed his hands with water blobs.


    The two people were numb and acted as if nothing happened. This guy just killed a 10 feet big fire falcon like a chicken. Do they have the guts to even stand in front of the dead beast? No. yet this incident did not dampen their spirits. On the contrary, You Xi Wang was pushing them to be better.


    The three people moved through the dense cover of green trees. They were moving towards the dense forest intentionally. Gena had said to You Xi Wnag through signnguage that they will be safer inside as the beast goes out to hunt at night. Then they will be able to locate your weapons stored in the vault boxes.

 Chapter 238: Abrupt Changes.

    Chapter 238: Abrupt Changes.


    The trio ran through the forest, skipping from branch to branch, using the thick cover to their advantage. You Xi Wang had a superior soul sense detection range and would take a detour before they encounter any magic beast. They had normal weapons and these weapons were not very useful in the long run.


    After running for 30 minutes they came to a cliff. You Xi Wang manipted the cliff wall and dug a cave inside. He made a vent overhead for airflow, after his team moved inside he closed the opening. Chen Yuping was surprised to see him using the fourth element. Gena had long known about his five elemental affinities but still, it was weird to see such a scene.


    You Xi Wang took out some dry wood twigs and sticks he picked on the run. He set them up and with a snap ignited the fire. Then with a wave of his hand, the fire falcon''s carcass appeared in a corner. You Xi Wang took out a normal dagger and started to process the bird for its meat.


    Chen Yuping spoke, "Bro, how long are we hiding?"


    You Xi Wang replied as he cleaned the feathers carefully, "Three days."


    Gena Langford and Chen Yuping nced at each other. Thetter asked You Xi Wang, "Why?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "The others will look for weapons first. They will disturb the serenity and bnce of the ind beasts. If any high-grade beast decided to hunt them. What will we do then? Do you want to try venturing amongst such fierce beasts?" his tone was calm but the fact he put forward increased the tension inside the cave.


    You Xi Wang sensed the mood and said, "Don''t worry, in three days the others will locate the weapons for us." his words confused the others. The boy smirked and called out his spirit beast.


    "Maya" he spoke in a soft voice. The white-furred beauty walked out of his shadow with grace. You Xi Wang fed her the blood of the fire falcon and some of the bird''s meat. He spoke, "After eating, go and recon the others, you can track them right?"


    Maya nodded and spoke with her spirit bond, "I will do it big brother Xi Wang. You can count on me."


    You Xi Wang ruffled her head with a sunny smile on his face. Maya returned the gesture and she also rubbed her head against him. The scene was very mellow. The three people and one beast ate the fire falcon meat with pleasure. You Xi Wang carried utensils with him. He used the blood to fry the meat. It may be gory but the nutrition was extremely important.


    After the meal, Maya went out toplete the task assigned by You Xi Wang to her. She used her stealth skills to the peak and within half an hour she located the other six people.


    ... { https://discord.gg/wXhbNcQm }


    At this moment they were all sitting inside a cave. They were eating the dry rations.


    Maya transmitted the scene to You Xi Wang via micro camera she ced at the edge of the cave entrance. This camera was a piece of elven tech. Fenny has mastered the remote broadcast. So this was a very cool tech for recon and scouting.


    Inside the cave, us Van ud spoke, "We need to get our weapons first. If You Xi Wang is given a chance to act against us first it will be very bad."


    Zen Shoto spoke, "His eyes give me a feeling of danger as if a beast ncing at its prey. Also, he has a night hound. That too a hybrid. You can not imagine how fast a sneaky Night Hound is. If it is standing behind you. You won''t be able to sense its presence."


    Well, what he said was correct. Maya was right behind him when he said this. The white-furred beauty almost made a sound to have some fun. The group of people decided to look for weapons and kill all the beast they find on the Ind during they tried to eliminate You Xi Wang.


    If they were to know that all this was transmitted to You Xi Wang on a holographic screen. The targetted person was sleeping with his right leg resting over his left leg. He was as if this is not a survival contest but a vacation. The other two people were annoyed by his casual behavior but they also knew it was not good for them to make a move right now.


    The night fell and Maya returned to his side. You Xi Wang did not ask anything. The beast sat down on all fours, yawned, and went for a nap. Gena Langford suddenly stood up and walked up to You Xi Wang. She patted his arm. The boy woke up and saw big starry green eyes ncing at him. He asked by raising his eyebrow. "What happened?"


    Gena Langford ade some hand signals to him. You Xi Wang understood that it was about the original guy making a promise to her about helping her in regaining her voice. You Xi Wang asked her to sit down and then he took a hold of her wrist. The boy then ced his palm on her throat. He sensed the structure of her throat with his soul sense.


    Turns out that it''s not that her throat is with vocal cords. But it can be said that her vocal cords were blocked. They were blocked by spirit energy seals. You Xi Wang ook back his hand and spoke in a solemn voice, "Does anyone in your family knows about making spirit seals?"


    The girl nodded at first and then shook her head. You Xi Wang asked, "Have they left your family? What does this reaction mean?"


    The girl used her hand symbols to tell him that her grandfather was the one who knew about the spirit seals, he has already passed away. You Xi Wang nodded and sighed as he spoke, "Does that mean no one in the family knows about his existence?"


    Gena nodded and told him that it was his mother only, growing up she was told the stories of her grandpa. She took out a piece of paper from her sleeves. On the slip, a weird design was inscribed. You Xi Wang smiled suddenly. He said, "The day you memorize this design will be the day your spirit seals will open.


    This is something left by your grandpa right? I can only say he left all his inheritance to you. You will know when you memorize it. All the best. If you can memorize it, it will be the counterspell for the spirit seals. Did you never try to read this?"


    Gena Lanngfordahd tears in her eyes. She shook her hands saying that she did not know until now. She always thought that it was a random drawing of some sorts."


    You XI Wang spoke, "It will be fine you will be free of these bound in two days. Go Study."


    Gena bowed to him in gratitude and left. The spirit seals were simr to arrays but they were engraved with condensing the thin spirit energy into threads. It is as if embroidering a design with the spirit energy thread. The only way to open the spirit seals would be a counter design, that Gena was holding in her hands.


    It was not her fault as well, after all, the doctors could not even detect that she had vocal cords. Thus the situation. You Xi Wang saw Chen Yuping sleeping and Gena was mediating. He shrugged and went to sleep with his head resting against Maya''s belly.


    ...


    The other six people however were running through the forest cunningly and carefully. Any strong moment might alert the beasts and then it will be a great problem. They were searching in different directions. Before Maya returned they decided tomunicate with each other if they discovered the weapon vault box.


    Suddenly the whole ind shook with a thunderous roar. You Xi Wang sat up instantly while Gena and Yuping also woke up. You Xi Wang frowned and said, "Let''s go this is not a magic beast, "We need to check the source and make sure the others are not in danger, or Elder Hippie will yell at us."

 Chapter 239: Systems First Battle.

    Chapter 239: System''s First Battle.


    Somewhere inside the thick forest, six people were gathered together. Their faces were pale, as if observed closely their bodies were shivering. These people were none other than the six participants of the Battle fest.


    us, Jack, Issac, Mace, Emerald, and Zen. Their expressions were that of a timid rabbit who just escaped a fierce predator. us spoke, "Did any of you know what was that thing?"


    The other five shook their heads. Zen spoke, "Whatever it was, it is frighteningly strong. Killing a Grade 8 beast with just a stare it is fortunate that Mace called back hispanion beast, things would have been ugly if not for his quick reaction."


    Mace who was the burliest of them all was now shivering more than anyone else. He spoke, "That thing, it had blood-red eyes with no cks or whites as if a ball of blood Jade is ced in the socket. It had four arms and two legs. Did you see the height of that thing?"


    Issac spoke, "15 to 17 feet tall. Despite the size, the speed was quick. In a blink, it covered 300 meters. What should we do now?"


    Emerald was a girl among them she spoke, "First hide our traces, find You Xi Wang and the others, and then we leave this ce."


    Jack snorted, "How do we find that pretentious prick?"


    Suddenly a cold voice came over, "Are you talking bad about me, behind my back? Not very gentlemanly of you." three figures materialized out of nothing in the void.


    He nced at everyone and nodded, "Now can someone tell me what exactly happened?"


    Emerald replied, "While searching for the weapons we stumbled upon a ck box. This box was unlike the stage vault. Jack opened the box and a gray array appeared in the void. The whole scene suddenly changed. The illuminated cave was filled with ck smoke. We all retreated without thinking. Later a creature came out. It was as dark as the night, looked like a beast but what kind, it was not sure. The speed..."


    You Xi Wang nodded and held his chin in his palm. He asked, "This thing is far stronger than a grade 7 or 8 beast. Yet the features do not match with a grade 9 beast either. We will need to recon." his words scared others, but he continued, "I am a cultivator, it is my nature to defy the heaven. So if you are scared for your life, I suggest you all go back. But I am staying. My Dao doesn''t allow me to leave like this."


    Then he turned and walked away. This was a disy of his bravery and courage. He was ready to go against something unknown for his Dao. Chen Yuping shook his head and ran after You Xi Wang. He left with a sentence, "Well, I will join my cousin. See you."


    Gena Langford nce at us, then she left as well. Emerald also rushed after them. She did not know why, but she felt more secure with You Xi Wang and the rest rather than this group of worrywarts. The other reason for her siding with You Xi Wang was because of his abilities. She had taken a note of how this boy guided his team during the dive and safely hid from them with no traces.


    The remaining five people fell into a dilemma, before making the final decision they retired to their hide-out cave for a night.


    ...


    Gena Langford patted You Xi Wang''s shoulder, made some obscure signs to ask him something. You Xi Wang smiled and shook his head. Ever since she met You Xi Wang, the girl has been learning a little signnguage tomunicate with him but it was still awkward.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a calm voice, "Why do we need to go around looking for that beast? Leave him be for the time being. First, we retrieve our weapons. The battle is going to be hard." then he spoke again, "Maya, lead us to the weapons girl."


    His words surprised everyone, Emerald asked, "How can she lead us?" her tone was filled with curiosity.


    You Xi Wang chuckled as he replied, "We have been scouting all of you since this morning. So we know the ces you have been to. If my estimate is correct, you guys have skimmed through the outer regionpletely, right?"


    Emerald nodded with a surprised expression. You Xi Wang asked again, "If you were an elder who knew that something fishy was about to happen and you wanted the contenders to unite. Where would you put the weapons?"


    Chen Yuping replied, "In the center where everyone can meet up and take a collective fro.." he realized what he just said. He asked in surprise, "Do you mean the council is aware of this?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "We are the baits, to lurk out the rats in the council."


    Emerald was even more surprised. She could not help but ask, "Is your brain working like a normal human?"


    The system wanted to reply NO, but since he was controlling You Xi Wang and was not too different from him. So he nodded with a smile. The group immediately rushed to the central region of the forest. Indeed, as expected, a big pile of boxes was stacked neatly, lined in front of them.


    You Xi Wang and the others did not waste time and took out the weapons. He spoke when everyone was done, "Let''s go scouting."


    The others nodded and Emerald asked, "How to find him?"


    You Xi Wang said, "You will know." a smirk appeared on his lips which annoyed the girl, but what could she do?


    Soon they came to the edge of a clearing, Chen Yuping asked, "Are we going to the clearing?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Not we. I am going out alone. I will attract that beast and you all will record it clearly. Use these." he handed them a bag filled with 50 micro cameras. He said, "ce them around the edge. I will go now."


    With that said, he walked toward the center of the clearing in a leisurely manner. I guess only he would do so. Emerald wanted to say something, but Chen Yuping said, "You cannot stop him. He will not change his mind. Also, believe in him a little, he isn''t as reckless as he seems to be."


    The girl nodded, and then the three people set the cameras on the tree trunks. When they were done, Chen Yuping gave You Xi Wang a long whistle. It was a signal they both would use when doing pranks. You Xi Wang whistled back.


    Chen Yuping spoke to the two girls beside him, "Converge your aura and movements. Also, sync your breathing with me. That way the beasts won''t find out how many of us are here." the girls nodded, and they synced their breaths.


    ...


    In the clearing, You Xi Wang controlled his holy spirit and took out his bow. Then he aimed the bow to the sky. His back was bent with his legs supporting him to bnce out his weight. A golden arrow formed on the bow. Then, with a TWANG, the boy released the arrow as it flew up in the sky with a golden trail behind.


    Ten secondster a roar was heard. The whole ind felt silent after it. Gena was observing the scene from her hiding spot and wanted to yell at You Xi Wang to run. Because of her eyes, she could see that this thing is not a beast.


    You Xi Wang suddenly bent down and dashed. A ck figure appeared behind him. Before the boy saw what it looked like, the figure attacked again. You Xi Wang dodged by rolling. The two people moved back and forth, but because of the speed of the figure, You Xi Wang could not see its appearance.


    He thought, ''Damn what is a demon from theherworld doing here?'' {he is the system so he knows all this.}


    You Xi Wang did not have the luxury to be shocked. Suddenly lightning shed in the sky. You Xi Wang muttered, "Counter sh."


    The next moment a lot of lightning gathered around him. You Xi Wang was just running and dodging the demon. Then he suddenly took out his bow, his speed doubled, now it was slightly faster than the demon in front of him. The lightning around his body converged into an arrow.


    You Xi Wang aimed and shoot the arrow at the beast. His feet never stopped moving. Did not shoot where the beast was but where the beast would appear to attack him. His actions were all calcted. You Xi Wang right now was way better at fighting than he usually was. His threat perception and battle instinct were way too high.


    Emerald opened her eyes wide when she saw the scene in front of her. The other two were also surprised. The violet arrownded right in the middle of the demon''s chest. The blurry figure came to an abrupt halt.


    <strong>ROARRRRRRR</strong>


    A painful wail echoed on the ind, producing a slight tremor. You Xi Wang did not waste time. He took out his sword and his figure shed. When he appeared he was standing behind the demon, sheathing his sword back into its cover.


    The demon''s roar was cut off. A sparkling orangish line appeared around its neck. You Xi Wang spoke, "Leave the head, the rest is yours." his words were aimed at his sword. The dark phoenix grew stronger as it killed more. A demon from theherworld was way too precious nutrition for it. The demon''s head slid off its neck and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

 Chapter 240: Plan.

    Chapter 240: n.


    The three people were all shocked. They did not expect You Xi Wang to solo the demon. They quickly rushed out to him. The clearing was now littered with craters of all sizes and depths. You Xi Wang was ncing at the head of the demon he just slew. This thing looked like a buffalo.


    Gena Langford came to You Xi Wang and she wrote on the ground. <em>''Netherworld Demon, Minotaur pawn, summoned by dark dwellers. These are the minions of the demon god of darkness they pray to.''</em>


    Her words came as a surprise to everyone. They did not expect it to be such a big thing. You Xi Wang nodded and spoke, "Let''s go to the others then we decided how to deal with it."


    The three people nodded. You Xi Wang kicked up the buffalo head to Chen Yuping and said, "You hold it. I am tired from the battle."


    Chen Yuping sensed a twitch on the corner of his eye. He said, "Bruh, you got it done within 5 minutes. Seriously?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "It''s mental stress brother. You won''t understand this." he had a smirk on his face.


    Chen Yuping was about to rebuke him when You Xi Wang ran away. The girls followed him with a smile. The boy could only shake his head and carry the head on his back. The four moved fast through the dark woods. It could be because a demon appeared that the magic beast was now silent.


    They reached the cave after 30 minutes. The five people immediately reacted when You Xi Wang entered the cave with others. You Xi Wang spoke, "Chill, just us. Also, one good news, one bad news. You choose what you want first."


    The five people exchanged nces and ZEN spoke, "Good news first."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "We found weapons. They are all in the center of the forest under a Camouge."


    us asked, "The bad news?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and gestured Chen Yuping. Thetter threw the buffalo''s head in front of everyone. The five boys took a step back as soon as the head was thrown in the air. You Xi Wang spoke, "We are up against theherworld demons."


    The five people sucked in a cold breath. They were all aware of the danger these demons can possess for them. When the shadow council was established in the initial period of Metropia, the dark dwellers summoned theherworld legions. Originally Metropia had ten sectors but theherworld legion destroyed one sectorpletely.


    They were only defeated when three peak elders took action, as the result? No survivors. That day is called the lost day. Ever since then the council began to hunt done the dark dwellers. Today they once again found traces of demons being summoned it was a drastic situation.


    You Xi Wang nced at their faces and spoke in disappointment, "Here you were nning topete with me? Wastes. Cannot even deal with these blood-thirsty cattle." he did not hide any disdain towards the four people.


    Issac was triggered and he spoke, "If you are so good then tell me how do we face off against these things? Huh, it is easier to say than do. Get it." his voice was very loud.


    You Xi Wang spoke in a cold voice, "Don''t raise your voice in front of me. While you all are above 18. I am still 16. I killed this thing alone. Okay? So you better watch your tone, or I might show you how to do as well." his tone, it was so cold that everyone felt a wave of goosebumps on their bodies.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "I don''t care whether you cowards run away or not. I will fight. With you or without you also does not matter." he paused and then continued, "You want to leave this ce right? Go, leave your tags and you can go. I promise I won''t stop you or join you but take down your tags."


    His disdainful tone caused the people to flush. They were ashamed of this. They were all adults yet they were losing to a teenager. Zen Shoto spoke, "Do you have a n?"


    You Xi Wang nodded but did not say a word. Zen Shoto asked, "Can you tell us?


    You Xi Wang replied, "Okay, but I want you all to take a blood oath that you guys are not Dark Dwellers,"


    They hesitated but then sighed, they cannot bear this embarrassment. The 8 people all too a blood oath. You Xi Wang spoke, "We first need the container box that you guys found in the wild. Then we need to search the ind if there are other boxes like this. And this time make sure you don''t open it."


    us frowned and asked, "What will you do with those containers?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "I am not telling you about that now. First,plete this step. I am going into seclusion, you guys call me when you have located the boxes. I hope you guys don''t turn chicken." with that said the handsome devil sat down inside the cave and he called Maya to guard him in case any of these bastard got any ideas.


    The system went into mediation and merged all the memories with the primary consciousness. Then it started to focus on how to awaken the spirits resting inside his new weapons. You Xi Wang did not tell anyone the further step in his n because it needed him to breakthrough to grade 6 array master.


    Chen Yuping took out some of the Fire Falcon meat and shared it with the others. Zen Shoto asked, "When did you guys hunt this beast?"


    Chen Yuping replied, "After wended. Maya and Xi Wang duo-ed it." his tone was very casual.


    Isaac spoke, "What beast is this? It tastes spicy."


    Chen Yuping replied, "Grade 7 bird type beast, Fire Falcon."


    Except for him and Gena. All the other humans almost choked on the meat. To think these guys were eating a Grade 7 beast like it was jerky. What is extravagance? This is extravagance.

 Chapter 241: Maestro Flex.

    Chapter 241: Maestro Flex.


    You Xi Wang started to interact with the spirits inside the weapons as the people formed two teams and started to search for the Demon Summoning Boxes. The boy was alone in the cave, Maya guarded him.


    The other eight people first headed to the center of the forest. They decided to help the five boys get their weapons. Then they split up into four teams with two members each. They could have covered more area if they all went alone, but they choose safety over speed. Two can support each other in case they et some difficulties.


    The sun rose from the east lighting up the sky. You Xi Wang sat inside the cave meditating. Hearing some rustling sounds he opened his eyes. Soon the four teams emerged from the woods. They all had tired expressions. They walked in and sat down on the ground with a huff.


    After they caught their breath, You Xi Wang asked, "How was it?"


    us spoke, "I went to the western side. Take a wild guess, how many of these boxes did we find?"


    You Xi Wang replied nonchntly, "50 plus."


    us shook his head, "You are not even close. 199. Almost two hundred. If triggered it will be chaos."


    Zen shoot spoke, "True, adding the one we had triggered early on, this will be 200. I went to the east, I found 150. It could be because that area is less vegetated and there are fewer spots to hide these things."


    The others also reported the number of boxes they found. You Xi Wang calcted and he said, "It is certainly the number of the demons. Inverted 999. What do you people say? If I give you a chance to grow stronger?"


    Everyone''s ears perked up. Zen Shoto asked, "What do you mean? Why would you help us?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "After this tournament is over, I will join the defense forces and enter the Lost Sector." his words made everyone suck in a cold breath. us spoke, "With all due respect man. You are a maniac."


    You Xi Wang chuckled, "I will be needing a squad. I have my original team training as we speak. Their realm of cultivation may be lower than some of you but their efficiency. You don''t want to face off against them. If you people are up to it then I will leave a slot for you in my squad. We all know the number of chances one can acquire in the lost sector ruins."


    Mace spoke energetically, "I fight with you. You are strong. I will join your squad."


    Isaac spoke up, "Hey, hey there. Hold your horses, Mace. Do you think that there are only rewards lying there in the lost sector? There is death as well. The mortality rate is 97%." with that he turned his gaze to You Xi Wang. He wanted to see how this guy will counter him.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "True, there is a high mortality rate. But treasures alwayse with trouble. Even if you cultivate naturally you will have to face the heavenly tribtions. Compared to that this is nothing. You can tell me how many people have seeded in crossing a tribtion." he took a pause. Then with a silent agreement with the other, he continued, "If anyone got some sort of opportunity, Do you think we will be able at least prepare for the tribtion crossing?"


    The people fell in thought and they nodded to themselves. Gena Langford at this moment spoke the first words in her life, "Xi Wang, I agree."


    Her words shocked everyone to the core. They all researched each other. They all knew that Gena Langford was unable to speak from ever since she was a few days ago. But her melodic voice shocked them. They nced at her with fiery eyes.


    The girl was shy and she hurriedly evaded their gazes and spoke in a mosquito-like buzz, "Xi Wang helped me." her simple sentence shifted the gazes back to You Xi Wang. The boy sighed and with a shrug, he said, "Come on she was not congenitally ill. Her vocal cords were covered with the spiritual anomaly. I just told her how to clear that." he shook his head.


    Jack who was silent from the start asked, "How do you n to deal with these demon boxes? How will we be stronger from this."


    You Xi Wang smiled, "We trigger one of the boxes daily. Form a team and deal with the demon. We all are strong enough to fight with all our strength for two days. You tell me if we co-operated together. This survival round will be our training session. After two days. We all take a rest, Comprehend what we have learned from fighting with the demons. Then after a day, I set up a grade 6 Virtual Dimension array. We enter that array and try to solo as many demons as we can. I will give you all a timer and a jade seal. After that timer is done, you all will be outside the array and the array will copse with all the remaining demons inside. How about it, sounds usible?"


    The group was surprised by this n of You Xi Wang. The virtual Dimension array he spoke of just now was a type of spatial array. Capable of producing a virtual dimension for a limited time. This array was often used in the defense forces training programs. The array will copse after a limited time. That was around a week.


    This n was nice but what theycked were resources such as food and water. Issac thought about this and raised the question, "Well if we are inside the array. How do we sustain ourselves without food and water? You do know that one needs food before they step into the Nirvana Rebirth Realm?"


    You Xi Wang smiled, "Did none of you noticed that the safety bead given to us was weird?"


    The people looked at him with confusion. Gena Langford spoke, "Umm, that bead has three arrays, one is a teleportation array. The other two are a spatial storage array and amunication talisman array."


    Her words shocked the 7 people. They nced at You Xi Wang and Gena as if the two people are monsters. Gena was never used to such gazes, subconsciously she shifted closer to You Xi Wang, who shook his head helplessly.


    The system thought to himself, ''Dog master, I got you a beauty. You better be grateful to meter.''


    You Xi Wang took the bead out from his space ring. It was as big as a peach seed. The boy circted his spiritual energy inside themunication talisman array rune. Soon the rune lit up. A voice erupted from the other side.


    "Huh, you discovered it so early?" who else it could be but hippie elder?


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Elder Hippie, I discovered it the moment you gave it to me on the airship. Okay, this rune is not meant for a long duration. So here''s the report. We found a demon summoning box, it was identally triggered. We killed the demon. Now we have found out the rest of the 665 demon summoning boxes. We are going to grind them for our growth. Okay, don''t worry about the rest. Just tell my master to get the bastard behind this."


    The elder replied, "Very well, also, HOW DARE YOU CALL ME HI...." before he could finish YOu Xi Wang cut off themunication. He then turned his spiritual energy to the spatial array and he found 30 food pills, 100 healing pills, 2 teleportation rune talismans. Pouring out the stuff he showed it to the others who were now bbergasted by the resources they just discovered.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Lesson One, always inspect everything using your spirit sense and not eyes. Because what eyes can not detect spirit sense can." he sounded like a teacher at this moment but the others did notin. They have epted silently that You Xi Wang was indeed better than them. If they were to find that it was not You Xi Wang but his secondary consciousness will they m their heads on tofu andmit suicide.


    ...


    Council headquarters, Imperial Sector. The nine elders sat around a Big lustrous round table. Among them was an old hippie, who was breathing exaggeratedly. While the others were slightly shivering. They were trying not tough at his misery. Imagine a dignified elder of the council was called ''Elder Hippie'' by a greenhorn kid.


    The hippie nced at Alester Book and roared, "Old bookworm, what a good disciple you have taught. Humph let hime back I will break his teeth."


    Anyone finally could not hold on and they all startedughing hard. The hippie gritted his teeth but then he sighed helplessly. Achilles spoke between hisughter, "Shall we nab the traitor yet, elder hippie."


    <strong>HAHAHAHAHAHA...</strong>


    The whole hall erupted with a burst ofughter. Thankfully, the hall was soundproof and covered by the would barriers they deployed after entering.

 Chapter 242: Grinding Begins.

    Chapter 242: Grinding Begins.


    The ind was supposed to be monitored by the dark forces. But the council was one step ahead this time. They took measures against monitoring the night before the candidates arrived. They issued a decree saying that anyone, even if it was a council elder, is found trespassing the ind ground will be killed.


    Achilles himself spent a night guarding the site. They showed as if they did not find anything wrong. To be honest, they discovered the trap arrays set up by the dark powers. This was all thanks to the array You Xi Wang developed or more as LUCY developed. But it was only capable of intercepting the active elements of the dark energy.


    Something like a demon summoning box cany dormant for even centuries. So it was only detected when us identally stumbled upon one. He then took the weird thing to his friends and out of curiosity he triggered it. The boxes had a timer rune, if tempered with this box will trigger. Otherwise, it mayst for 15 days. Seemingly the dark dwellers nned to catch them when they are at their worst.


    They will be tired from 15 days ofbat, lower their guard as soon as thepetition ends. The n was good. But one thing ruined itpletely. That one thing was luck. Luck of the kids who came to contend.


    At this moment, You Xi Wang and the others were talking to each other about their strengths and skills. Thest person was You Xi Wang. He was given thest turn so that the others don''t feel too overwhelmed by his achievements. They all now wanted to know the gap between them and You Xi Wang.


    You Xi Wang cleared his throat and spoke, "Ahem, So, I am 16 years old. Early Primal Soul Realm, I have 3 intents namely, Sword, Spear, and Bow. I have 4 spirit weapons, three of them are at therge sess stage one is on the entry-level. I also have fought against a lot of dark dwellers, 8 of them were Primal Soul realm. I have a martial spirit as well. It is called the god of the war spirit. It can enhance my battle prowess to that of a peak of Primal Soul Realm. Ummm, Oh yeah, since we have all taken a blood oath to keep these secrets and never to act against each other. I will tell you that Maya and I share a bond of equality. Also, I have a five elemental affinity."


    <em>GASPS!!!</em>


    Hisst sentence made them all such in a big amount of air. They have never seen a person with five elemental affinities. us stood up, his body was shivering and he said, "Show it to me you monster. We need proof."


    You Xi Wang shrugged _()_/ and waved his hand. Five balls of five elemental attributes appeared, hovering above his head.


    Mace squinted his eyes and said, "Can you not use them as some sort of halo?"


    You Xi Wang made the balls disappear like they were never there. Issac asked, "Why can I not sense your Elemental Affinity?"


    The boy replied with a simple, "My grandmaster, doesn''t want the people to know it yet."


    This was not an excuse, it was indeed the reason why Animus sent him the concealment jade pendant with Animo Albus. Also, it served a secondary purpose, to deter them all from bypassing the oaths. The oaths may be true but they were not without loopholes. Animus was to fill in the loopholes as one of the strongest in the world.


    The voices turned silent. You Xi Wang spoke, "Okay, so are you fuckers ready to dance?"


    The people all nodded, not minding his cheapnguage. They all would use it sometimes. You Xi Wang spoke, "Isaac, you are the one with the best IQ so you decide the team n we will contribute our ideas then."


    Isaac nodded and fell into thought. Then he spoke, "I think we ask You Xi Wang to partner up with someone, then you two deal with a demon and we observe. We form a team based on our ranks, like pairing the weaker ones with the stronger ones."


    You Xi Wang agreed, he replied, "So I will take the two at the bottom with me. The rest of you can pair up."


    Chen Yuping spoke, "Bro, you have like 5 girlfriends waiting at home."


    Let alone others even You Xi Wang was surprised, he reacted, "Oi, it''s 4 only. God, I miss them smiles."


    The people gave him a white look. They did not imagine the strongest among them to be such a frank person. But it did not stop there, the next sentence almost made them spit blood. You Xi Wang said, "Why do I think you guys are just jealous of me? Like I am YOUNGER than you and have FOUR GIRLFRIENDS. Pity."


    Not only did he called them old indirectly but also flexed his girlfriends as well. They all stood up and walked away from this guy. They might start fighting him right this moment. Only Gena Langford sat there beside him. She spoke in a soft voice, "Thank you."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "No problem, you had the solution already, just did not look at it. It is normal. Sometimes our focus makes us develop tunnel vision. Just learn from it. Never pursuit anything with all your might, that might make you miss the other great scenes while tunnel vision will make your destination look even further." unlike his goofy self he did talk something meaningful right now.


    Gena Langford nodded, in her mind, a lot of thoughts were sprouted in her mind as she heard his words. These words sparked a me of interest in You Xi Wang. She said, "I acknowledged Elder Shelton Hammer as my master."


    You Xi Wang was surprised, "Hmmm, that is good for you." in his mind he thought, ''The old coot cannot stay away from flowers, eh. Is he trying to be my master-inw? Looking at this girl, it is not a bad deal.''


    His doubts were answered when Gena told him that after the trial here she will be joining hispany as an intern. You Xi Wang also talked with her about some things in hispany. The two went to rest after a few minutes. Maya and the other two spirit beasts stood guard of the cave. Maya may look like she is lying with her eyes closed as if resting but she is more alert than any of the other two beasts.


    The next morning You Xi Wang and the rest came to the clearing. The boy spoke, "Although you guys were shown the videost night still since you asked I will show you how to deal with the demons. It is now morning and we will be able to use the sun in our favor. The demons are weaker under the sun. Let''s begin."


    He waved his hand and a demon summoning box flew out of his space ring. You Xi Wang tossed it to the sky and took out his bow. The white and silver bow shined brightly under the sun. You Xi Wang spoke, "Gale, help me break the array on that box."


    The bowstring trembled. You Xi Wang named the swift eagle spirit, Gale. The boy let go of the string, letting an arrow as thin as a needle,prised of spirit energy fly and hit the array rune on the box.


    <strong>BOOM</strong>


    A loud sound erupted from the box and ck mist spread out of it. You Xi Wang spoke, "Gena you and Emerald will help me. Others retreat." Everyone followed hismand. You Xi Wang''s aura changed at this moment. It was as if he was a general of a great army. He said in a low voice, "Emerald, take shots at the thing''s vital parts only when I am unable to dodge or any sudden attacks. Gena, you will be the second damage dealer with me. Be in sync with me. I attack the front and you attack from the back. Okay?"


    The girls nodded, Emerald got on top of a tree with her bow and arrow. You Xi Wang did not ask her to use a gun because he did not know how proficient she was with it. The three people were ready just in time for a roar to announce the arrival of the demon.


    <em>THUMP!</em>


    A dust cloud rose from the ground as the Demonnded. The thing was 12 feet tall. Covered in bulging muscles, with a head of a buffalo. The demon held a Double-Edge War Ax. The demon roared. The impact was so strong that it shook the earth slightly. Imagine a whole army of these creatures.


    The blood red eye nced around, this demon was an incarnation of blood lust. It only had one purpose, that was to kill. These things will kill everything regardless of humans or beasts. You Xi Wang moved first, holding Purgatory in his hand. He stepped forward wearing his spirit boots.


    The boots increased his speed, in a blink, he appeared behind the Demon. The demon was not weak as well, it swung down its ax at him. You Xi Wang did not retreat, neither did he parry it. He performed a dodge which shocked everyone. He stopped moving and the ax de passed by him just a few centimeters away. The shock became true when this thing happened more than once.


    Isaac spoke, "This guy, he is grinding the demon for a perfect judgment."


    Mace asked, "Do you mean that instinct for being the god of war?"


    Issac nodded, as the people were observing the battle. You Xi Wang and Genabined and under You Xi Wang''s lead, they dealt with the Demon in 3 minutes. Thest shot was taken by Emerald. It was an arrow plunged inside the demon''s eye.

 Chapter 243: The Real Journey.

    Chapter 243: The Real Journey.


    Two days passed in a blink the people seemed to have lost the concept of time. They were all tired and dirty. At this moment they were sitting at the edge of the clearing under the shades and watching a battle. A battle of You Xi Wang and Maya vs 5 demons.


    You Xi Wang was not cocky but he wanted to push his limit. Maya stood beside him growling. She was wearing the armor she got from the Elven Dimension, Elfhiem. Her innocent look was nowhere to be seen at this moment. In thest two days, she had taken part in practice and fought against the demons besides You Xi Wang. Her prowess wasparable to the humans.


    The handsome boy said in a soft warm voice, "Maya, be careful okay?"


    Maya replied to him with a mental transmission, "Yes, brother Xi Wang." You Xi Wang nodded and five demon summoning boxes were triggered. The instant ck smoke appeared, Maya turned invisible. While You Xi Wang held the golden spear in his hand.


    The demon beasts appeared and the boy moved. His figure shed and he came beside one of his targets. The spear stung out like a wasp. The demon roared in pain. You Xi Wang hurt him on the knee. The boy did not wait in the spot to let the demon counter attack. His figure shed again, this time he targetted the Demon on his left. The demons were standing in a pentagon formation following their instincts.


    You Xi Wang entered the core of this formation when he injured the first demon. His action had no hesitation. This boy was fearless. The second target wasn''t any better as well. You Xi Wang stabbed the spear head behind his ear. Ears were a very crucial organ for the demons, this was what they found out in the past two days. They will react to the sound better than the light. So objective number one, disrupt the hearing.


    As soon as the spear came into contact with the demon. A loud wail echoed. You Xi Wang jumped off to the Demon on behind him. He swung the shaft of his spear and itnded right on the tip of his buffalo snout.


    <strong>Bang!</strong>


    The buffalo headed demon had no other weak spot in it''s body except the head. Until and unless you are using high temperature fire or lightning. The demons were irritated. Two of the injured ones prioritized killing the injured demon along with You Xi Wang. The chopped down their axes at him.


    <em>SPLASH!</em>


    <em></em>It was as if a hot iron butter has pass through a butter brick. The injured demon was cut down by it''spanion but You Xi Wang was missing. At this time Maya appeared below the demon who had just attacked. She first cast an illusion on him. When the demon slowed down She attacked him with 5 Ice des. All aimed at his eyes, throat and nose. Again a fatal attempt on the weak spaces.


    The poor fellow did not even had the time to wail. The ice des were quick and urate. They logged inside the demons vitals and the thing fell down on the ground with a thud. From the side lines Issac spoke, "Two down three to go."


    Chen Yuping chuckled, "Look again."


    The three demons kept standing like statues. You Xi Wang was seen walking out of the formation and beckoning Maya toe at his side. The people had a weird face that suddenly turned pale. Mace pointed his finger at the demons and said, "Is it just me or do you also see three sh wounds on their neck?"


    The others nodded. You Xi Wang replied, "What I went invisible and killed them with assassination technique. Come let''s go we have work tomorrow."


    ...


    Inside Array Hall, You Zhichi who has been cultivating in seclusion opened her eyes. She was not in the watch tower where Animus was. She was taken away by Animo Albus to a room. The moment she opened her eyes she found herself in a simple room. The girl stood up and walked up to the door. When the door was pushed open from the inside. The visitor was Animo Albus. Thedy revealed a smile as she found that her disciple has awakened. You Zhichi bowed in greeting.


    Animo Albus asked, "Did you refine the fire and tyin method?"


    You Zhichi nodded and asked, "Master, how long has it been?"


    Animo Albus replied as she caressed the girls hair, "3 to be precise. Also. I have news for you."


    You Zhichi nodded and followed her master outside. Animo Albus led You Zhichi to the watch tower where Animus was. The twodies greeted the old man who spoke with a smile, "So, thus far Xiao Wang killed 30 Demons,st 5 were done all at once. This boy is getting really good at it." he was able to know all this because of a grade 9 monitor array he had cast over the concealment jade pendant You Xi Wang was wearing.


    You Zhichi was surprised to hear the word Demons. She asked, "Grandmaster, what did you say Gougou killed? Demons? How can he stand against demons, it should be the survival round finals, right?" her emotions turned into a storm as soon as it was something about her brother.


    Animus said gently, "Calm your self child. He is not in danger. We discovered the dark forces conspiracy thanks to him. Then he discovered something the council missed. The demon summoning boxes. This thing is known to the great elders, the nine elders and you now. The only exception are the kids on that Ind. You brother just led them all, formed a team and trained in fighting against demons. The whole process is very smooth. All the children made oaths and the clever thing is that your brother told them I want it all to be a secret." he paused.


    Then continued, "The reason I called you here is that we need a strong force. To be precise, a strong support force. Array Masters are just a handful but they can turn the tides of a battle. You are to practice in seculsion. When you can break through to grade 6 array master. It will be time for the array hall to wee new talents. You will be the young miss of the hall. While your brother be the young master. Soon, a war between the dark side and the good side will erupt. This time losing it won''t end with a lost day or lost sector. We will lose the whole world. I ask you to be strong."


    You Zhichi was shocked at these words then the girl nodded. She took in a deep breath and replied, "Grand master, the disciple will not let you down. Also I have some talents in mind. After I go home I will nt the seed for the new forces."


    Animus nodded with a smile. He knew that his grand disciple was a gentle person. The girl left the watch tower and came to the library. Before stepping inside, she nced at the sky and mumbled, "Mom, Dad, watch over Gougou. I don''t have the strength to loss him again. Please make sure hees back safely."


    After a sigh the girl entered inside the library. She cared about only one thing in this whole universe. That thing, that person was her brother. The two people were now bound to start the real journey of their lives.

 Chapter 244: Ready.

    Chapter 244: Ready.


    You Xi Wang and the others returned to the cave. The boy did not waste any time, after eating he said, "I am going back to the clearing to set up the array." he stood up and walked outside. The others did not stop him as well. They were all tired, they needed the rest.


    You Xi Wang walked through the forest with Maya beside him. Suddenly he sighed, blinked his eyes. His primary consciousness came out from the seclusion. The system had already synced every memory in his mind by now so he was not unaware.


    He spoke, ''It has been hard on you, system.''


    The system replied, [Well, it was fun while itsted. Also, you reached the Grade 6 array master?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a nod as he kept walking forward. Soon, he arrived at the clearing. He muttered, "Well let''s set up the array along with some measures to prevent rain." then he took a step forward and flew up in the sky.


    He nced at Maya on the ground and sent her a mental transmission, ''Maya, guard well, okay? I cannot be disturbed when setting up this array.''


    Maya let out a low howl in acknowledgment. She came to stand below where You Xi Wang was flying. The boy took waved his hands causing hundreds of spirit stones in his space rings to appear outside. He started to control all the Stones with his soul sense and guided them all to the ground. The spirit stones were lying in the clearing, creating a pattern. This pattern was very mesmerizing if nced upon from the sky but the horror of it was even more striking.


    This pattern was the base of the virtual dimension array. One fault inying down this pattern and you will have yourself a ck hole. A ck hole strong enough to devour the surrounding matter into nothingness. The effective range of this ck hole? A hundred kilometer. The impact? Unimaginable.


    You Xi Wang took a full six hours toplete this. Hended on the ground beside Maya with slight sweat on his face. The boy was exhausted and sat on the ground with a huff. Maya sat beside him. A mild breeze blew from the forest. You Xi Wang leaned against Maya''s belly. He sighed, "You hungry Maya?"


    Maya replied with a mental transmission, "No, brother Xi Wang. But I am missing Celestia and Lily."


    You Xi Wang smiled, "Me too sweetheart. Me too. I wonder what kind of a storm are they kicking up at home."


    Maya replied with a rare chuckle, "Probably bullying the other kids around and collecting protection candy."


    You Xi Wang was stunned, "When did this happen? Protection candy? Protection from what?"


    Mayaughed and said, "Lily loves candy but due to cavity her mother denied her from eating so, one day Celestia came up with an idea. This little fairy gathered all the kids together and then told them how too much candy is bad for the teeth. She asked them all to donate half their candies and protect themselves from cavities. The kids are too green for these two. They agreed and since then they alle and weekly hand over their candy to her. Then at night, the two will sleep on a pile of candies. Because if they ate it, they will be guilty of stealing. So, they just don''t let others have it as well."


    You Xi Wang could not help butugh at this. Heughed to tears. These kids were too rowdy. He calmed down after a few minutes and then went back toying down arrays. The rest of the process waspleted in just two hours. Then the boy shadow skipped around the whole ind andid down traps and killing arrays all of them were grade 6.


    This was done because he knew that the dark insects will be crawling out of their holes when the trial duration is close to an end. After he was done with his prep, You Xi Wang returned to the cave. He saw that everyone was now in better condition. He spoke, "Someone contact elder hippie, Mymunication rune is done for."


    Then he sat down on the side with Maya behind him. Mace Williams handed him the bead and said, "Take mine." You Xi Wang did not hesitate as well. He took the bead and soon themunication was established.


    You Xi Wang was about to speak when a roar came from the other side, "WHERE IS THAT BRAT YOU XI WANG? I AM NOT A HIPPIE YOU SQUIRT. I AM DONNIE, ELDER DONNIE OF THE COUNCIL."


    You Xi Wang and all the others exchanged a nce and smiled. The elder was still going on so You Xi Wang just said, "Why are you so affected by that elder. If you are not a hippie then let it be. Also, if you mor like a rusty bell the rune will not be useful. So the present situation is that we have taken down one hundred fifty-nine demons. The rest will be thrown inside a virtual dimension array. We will enter and kill them there. The surviving ones will vanish when the dimension copses. Also, it will be a controlled copse so calm down. Other than that if you guys doe over then be careful. I haveid down 500 mini grade six arrays around the ind, both in the sky and on the ground. Okay bye."


    He disconnected before the elder could mor. Actually, he had deployed half the number of what he reported to the elders. This way if there was a traitor inside the council higher-ups the person would be more cautious in approaching them. This will dy the traitor and if he was careless thinking it was a bluff then the arrays will take give him a lot of trouble.


    us suddenly spoke, "So, tomorrow we fight a horde of demons. I curse myself for not bringing the music pod." his opinion was shared by everyone. You Xi Wang waved his hand and took out a guitar from his space ring.


    Watching the light glinting off from the strings their eyes glowed. You Xi Wang said, "I''ll sing for you guys." causing the crowd to p for him.


    You Xi Wang started to strum the strings. Then his soft voice rang out filling the cave with wonderful music.


    <em>Crispy winds brushing off my face.</em>


    <em>Life is a struggle, that''s what they said.</em>


    <em>I wanna ask the world if it''s alright.</em>


    <em>I don''t wanna run, I will take a flight.</em>


    <em>Crispy winds will carry me.</em>


    <em>Life is a struggle, but I am free.</em>


    <em>I tell you now, that it''s okay.</em>


    <em>Just walk how you want, and make your own way.</em>


    <em>It is all very nice, up in the sky.</em>


    <em>Let the dreams be your wings, take off and fly.</em>


    <em>No need to run, no need to hide.</em>


    <em>There is a lot of space in the endless sky.</em>


    <em>Crispy winds make me feel...</em> <em>ALIVE...</em>


    The people were stunned as they heard the song. They did not know that You Xi Wnag had such a good talent inside him. They all thought that he was just a war machine. You Xi Wang sensed their gazes and said, "What are you looking at? This is how I got my girls. Learn from the maestro, maybe you will also get someone."


    That was it. The boys could not hold back at the cave erupted into a brawl. Obviously, You Xi Wang was the winner in the end still the boys did try to beat him up. Then You Xi Wang kept on singing a lot of songs he heard on earth and the people were stunned by this. To them, it was You Xi Wang who wrote all these songs.


    ...


    Back in Silica City, the night fell. Celestia and Lily were both looking at a pile of candies in front of them. Celestia spoke in her soft voice, "Lily when will be big brothereback? Even the big sister has note back. I miss them."


    Lily nodded and said, "Maybe we should ask granny Xin about this. She will know."


    The two exchanged a nce and they rushed toward You Naixin''s room.


    Thedy was busy with some work-rted documents when she heard a knock on the door. She said, "Come in."


    Celestia and Lily pushed open the door and peeked inside the room. They did not want to walk in and disturb her so they asked, "Granny, are you busy?"


    You Naixin smiled as soon as she heard their bell-like voices, she said, "Come in, my babies. What brought you here tonight?"


    Celestia spoke, "Granny when will big brother and sistere back?"


    Lily on the side nodded. You Naixin put down the tab she was holding and then picked up the two little girls in her arms. She said, "Just around next full moon."


    Lily counted something on her fingertips and said, "That is way too long. Xixi is not even on TV this time. Unfair." this time Celestia nodded.


    You Naixin was about to reply when she received a call on her Holo-phone. The caller was You Zhichi. The heavenly maiden asked her master if she was allowed to call home and after getting her permission she called her grandaunt.


    You Naixin epted the call and a holographic You Zhichi appeared in front of her. Both of them smiled. Celestia and Lily smiled happily. They did not disturb you when You Zhichi was talking to You Naixin and waited for their turn.


    Finally, they could not help but poke You Naixin with their little fingers. Thedy chuckled and said, "Okay, Okay your turn."


    In the end, You Zhichi was forced to bring her master on call by the two girls. They threatened her saying they won''t eat food. Animo Albus was a colddy but her heart was very warm. Hearing how much the two children missed their sister and aunt. She agreed to bring them over to Array hall. You Zhichi had already expressed to her master that these two girls are very intelligent and they can learn array knowledge. So, Animo decided to test them when she will bring them around this time.


    The two girls were very happy, they even started to dance around You Naixin.

 Chapter 245: Begin.

    Chapter 245: Begin.


    The people in the cave all woke up as the sun in the sky rose on the horizon. You Xi Wang stood up and stretched his waistzily. Then he spoke, "Let''s just pop a food pill when you feel hungry. Let''s go. Also, remember the strategy, stay in the line of sight, be prepared to help each other. Don''t try to be cocky, teleport outside as soon as you think you can not handle the pressure. I don''t want to carry you out of there in a coffin. Clear? Advance and move as a team don''t ck of for even a bit."


    His tone was firm, a cold radiated from his voice. Everyone was just lying down but as cultivators how can they not be awake as soon as the sunes up? So, they all heard what You Xi Wang said. They replied in unison, "<strong>Yes, Sir.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang has be their leader as soon as he killed the five demons alone in a single time. This was what he earned with his own strength andst night the boy even changed the strategy that Isaac came up with. His strategy was to link all the teams and let everyone stay support each other. The way he allocated them by the elemental affinity, that increased the output very much.


    He focused on dealing with damage while using the lowest effort. This way the people willst longer and they will be much more effective against the demons. The crowd agreed to it without any problems. After all the maestro, always backed things with facts. us stretched up and suddenly he asked, "Yo, why do you give off a little different vibe now?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Maybe coz I woke up the spirit in my brawling gloves." his casual words made everyone wide awake. They were all busyst night with the nning and rxing, when did this guy awaken a spirit weapon? Shrugging of the deeds the monster did they all freshened up and moved to the clearing together.


    After reaching the clearing they were all handed a jade teleportation token. Bind with a drop of blood, crushing it will send you out of the array in a blink. You Xi Wang ced the demon summoning boxes inside the spirit stone circle. The boxes looked a bit different than before. Last night the boy had attached some mini time bombs on the array rune. The timers had a gap of four minutes.


    In the past two days, under repeated training, they all had killed 159 demons out of the 659. The timer on the bombs was set in a manner that every four minutes five demons will spawn. Four teams were created by You Xi Wang to counter them. They were all a bnced team.


    Team One;


    us, Mace, and Issac. They will be aided by Mace''s spirit beast.


    Team Two;


    Zen Shoto, Jack, and Chen Yuping. They will have Zen''s spirit beast to help them.


    Team Three;


    Gena, Emerald, and Maya. The wolf was ying second damage dealer.


    The fourth one was actually solo, You Xi Wang. He did not have any team. He will be moving freely un the siege as an aid, while he fights. After all, he was that good. You Xi Wang took a deep breath and gave out a low shout, "ARRAY, UP."


    A dome of spiritual energy materialized in front of everyone. This dome was the virtual dimension. Everyone took a step inside the dome and they vanished. The scenery inside was not very different from the outside world. Green lush grass and clear blue sky, as far as the eyes could see you will only find the endless grass field. You Xi Wang did not spare much effort with the scene set.


    The team moved around and got familiar with the atmosphere. Only those who had the jade token were able to go in and out of the array. You Xi Wang, however, was wondering about the reason why the shadow council spares so much effort to nt so many demons here. Gena, who was standing beside him sensed his worries and asked, "Are you also thinking about why the dark side would spare so much effort to nt these things here?"


    You Xi Wang nodded without hiding anything. They were all smart enough. Gena replied, "Two years ago, I was reading about the lost sector. It was mentioned there that these minor demons were all summoned to reap the souls of the people and then summon the Demon God of darkness. This dark god only epts the sacrifice in by his minions and not humans. In return, he would transform a world into a pitiful dark ce. Then someone in the council dered that the book was too much for the civilians to learn so they sealed it."


    You Xi Wang frowned, "The traitor?"


    Gena nodded. She said, "I talked to my master when you were arranging the array. He told me that the traitor''s identity has been discovered. They will nab him after the trial is done. Be careful, this time the sacrifice is us. The wish is probably not as big as the transformation of the world but just a raise in strength."


    You Xi Wang nodded and shared the information with everyone else. His words had just finished when four clouds of ck mist appeared in front of them. You Xi Wang raised his hands and spoke, "This is your first battle by my side. Let''s have a good time."


    The glove in his hand glowed slightly. You Xi Wang smiled and said, "GO!"


    The teams charged at the demons. You Xi Wang started with an uppercut to the buffalo''s chin. The others also attack the vitals of the demons. They all killed the five demons efficiently in three minutes. While You Xi Wang dealt with two of his demons in three minutes. The rest of the time he was looking at the teams were performance.


    Then he said, "us, What is lightning?"


    us was confused at his question then he suddenly realized that the boy was talking about the thunder sword move he used. He nodded with a sense of awe in his eyes. You Xi Wang was obviously talking about thest attack he used. It was supposed to be like lightning, swift and destructive. Yet he was in doubt and the attack did not have a strong impact. The boy in the ck battle suit just corrected his fault.


    ...


    The Council Headquarters, Elder meeting hall. The nine elders sat around a table. Alester Book said, "ording to Master, You Xi Wang and the others have already entered the virtual space array. If the bait you guys used is correct, then the traitor must be on the move."


    The others nodded. Achilles had a darker expression on his face because he was the one sheltering the traitor unknowingly. The other elders did not say anything because it was something that could have happen to anyone.


    ...


    Inside Imperial City, a man was walking through the streets with his head down. He muttered, "This twitch won''t go away. What is it that could go wrong now?" this man was Heath Ashton. At this moment he was heading for a stronghold of the dark side.


    This stronghold was extremely hidden and not every dark dweller knew about it. In the market of the city, a shop called, ''Eternal tea shop'' was the ce where he was headed. Heath Ashton entered inside and a beautiful waitress greeted him. She asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"


    She was a normal person, not a dark insect. Heath Ashton smiled and said, "Yes, I am here to Mister Barn. My name is Heath Ashton."


    The girl nodded and gestured for him to follow her. Since people knew Mr. Barn, the owner then they are anything but ordinary. She led him to the top floor. Knocked on the door and said, "President, Mr. Ashton is here for you."


    A deep voice sounded, "Bring him in."


    The girl pushed open the door and let Heath Ashton enter. The deep voice spoke, "ra, you can go back to work, dear."


    ra bowed with a smile and walked down. Heath Ashton''s face turned cold. He spoke, "Can you not tell your staff who I am? This bitch asked me if I had a reservation."


    Mr. Barn spoke, "Oh, that annoyed! Heath, I warn you. If anything is even slightly wrong and Master is unable to get stronger then, do not me me but this time you will die miserably."


    Heath Ashton sneered, "You talk as if it was not you who dug this pit for me. How many times have we failed in the summoning? I have lost count. But Master..." Heath sighs and continues, "He is still adamant about the fact that only the demon god can solve his problem of dark decay. He doesn''t realize that onlyprehending thew of darkness can save him."


    Mr. Barn spoke, "True, I was the one who gave him this solution but this is still not an impossible one. Anyway, your airship is ready. Master will meet you on the way."


    These two people were upper echelons of the Death Sect. Today they were departing to meet their master and then after ten days, they will arrive at the ind. They could not move in a beeline because of the council''s monitoring so roundabout is the only way they can follow. But they were unaware that someone was always watching them.

 Chapter 246: Did you think I died?

    Chapter 246: Did you think I died?


    The youngsters kept on fighting against the Demons inside the array. They did not know how much time passed as they were indulged in fighting. Suddenly one of the demons sessfully sneaked behind Chen Yuping, it raised the war ax in his hand and shed it down. The Ax was about to cut off Chen Yuping into two when a Lighting arrow shed andnded on the ax head.


    The ax was deflected, You Xi Wang appeared there and kicked the Demon''s head. Then he gave off a wild shout, "Wild Tiger Fists" next moment a barrage of punchesnded on the demon. Thest blow was so strong that it sted the demon''s head like a watermelon. You Xi Wang turned back to face Chen Yuping.


    He said, "Be careful. I think these people are getting stronger and stronger. As if their level is upgrading."


    Gena spoke as she caught up her breath, "It is their rank. The ones we fought just now maybe level 2 lesser demons." her words were not doubted because they guys felt the difference in the demon''s strength. This matter would be disadvantageous in the long run. They needed toe up with a strategy. This was something no one expected.


    You Xi Wang was in a bind, they were unaware of the ranks among demons. He said, "We will try toe up with something as we face them. Now we don''t have the time. But be very careful. If it is too much then we all leave and go outside. Okay?"


    The others nodded. They took out a food pill and ate it. Just as the pill melted inside their mouth the Demons started spawning. They shook it off and rushed forward to face the demons.


    ...


    Mystery sector. This whole sector was a party and vacation destination for the people of metropia. At this moment in a dingy street, two men, wearing ck cloaks stood facing a rotten door. This sector may have avish lifestyle, but there were also some things such as this dingy street.


    A man was about to knock on the door when it flung open by itself. The two men got inside, closing the door behind them. Inside the ce, the mostvish thing was a white couch. One of the ck cloaks spoke, "When will Master arrive?"


    In front of them stood someone like a child but had obscure facial features. In a hoarse voice, this thing spoke, "He is here, inside."


    The two ck cloaks moved under the lead of the dwarf. They were led to a dark room with minuscule light. Only a vague outline of a man was visible. This man was the leader of the death sect. The two men in ck cloaks revealed their faces as they knelt.


    "Disciple(Disciple) has seen master." these two men were none other than Heath Ashton and Barn. The vague figure spoke in a hoarse voice, "Get up, it is time we leave. I want to summon the demon god and extend my life. It will still take us two days to get to that ind. We cannot bete. Come let''s go."


    The two people only replied, "As youmand, Master."


    The three people left through the doors and under the shroud of the night they quickly came to a port. This port held some yachts from the old era. These things were all Heavenly Luxury nowadays. Heath Ashton and Barns walked behind the thin cloaked figure. The port was empty. No guards and stuff, it was all automated.


    The owner of this port was Barns, so he shed a card to the drones and they all went quiet. They boarded a yacht and sailed towards the ind. What they did not know was, all this was being noticed by the council.


    ...


    A day had passed since then. The youngsters on the ind were fighting with the demons. The timer seemed to have a bigger gap as the days passed. At this moment there were only 20 demon summoning boxes were left. But Inside the dome, only You Xi Wang was able to keep fighting with the demons. Ever since the day they discovered the ranks among demons. You Xi Wang used a special Array token for the person who can manipte the array at any given time, and altered the timer on the bombs.


    Otherwise, they would not have been able to keep up with it. They cleared the wave and just when they were about to rest another demon spawned. This demon had a red skull around its waist. Instead of an ax, it carried a broad sword. The eyes were clearer. It did not roar but looked around and its eyes fell on the youngsters.


    You Xi Wang immediately gave them amand, "Get out of here now." he used a mental transmission. They all took out the jade tokens and crushed them. You Xi Wang waited for Maya to get inside his shadow and he took out his token.


    The demon saw this, he vanished from the spot he was standing and appeared next to You Xi Wang as he swung his broad sword. The hit connected. You Xi Wang''s jade token was thrown away, while he himself flew a distance of hundred meters and crashed on the virtual ground. Maya inside his shadow flew out. She coughed up blood simrly as You Xi Wang did.


    The rest of the youngsters were teleported after this scene. The demon spoke, "Homuli omnium, non-potes cogitare quid vultis nobis in hac cavea ordinata? Me, alioquin interficiemus te, ordinata est conteram: et idit amicos tuos interficere tua. Hic Mundus peribit."


    You Xi Wang asked the system, ''Oye, what is this buffalo spouting?''


    The system spoke, [The same old I will destroy the world and shit. I am surprised these guys speak in Latin.]


    You Xi Wang did not pay attention to the rest of the stuff and he stood up. He took out a healing pill for Maya and asked her to go back into the shadow. Then he moved to the demon holding a sword in his hand.


    <em>CLANG</em>


    The two des collided. You Xi Wang unleashed his sword intent and started to exchange blows with the demon. The fight was very hard. You Xi Wang and the demon were on par with each other. Suddenly You Xi Wang smiled, "Bye-bye, cow."


    The boy had a devilish smile on his face. He had been umting intent from the day the whole thing started. He let out some of it. The battle intent turned into a sword aura and cut through the demon as if he was made of butter.


    The demon was cut down from top to bottom. Two parts fell in opposite directions. He wanted to fight another one but the system said. Get out of here. Dark bugs areing killing them will be fun. You Xi Wang searched for his fallen jade token and crushed it.


    When he appeared outside he saw the others sitting there nkly. He said, "What? Did you think I died?"

 Chapter 247: Elder Hippie is so cool.

    Chapter 247: Elder Hippie is so cool.


    You Xi Wang thought that his teammates were not reacting because they were worried about him. So he cracked a joke. The reality however was different. The system spoke, [Destroy the virtual dimension array. Kill all the demon summoning boxes.]


    You Xi Wang did not even ask and took out a red jade bead and crushed it. Behind him, the big spirit energy dome, twisted and like a wormhole produced a strong suction. All the remaining 19 demon summoning boxes were swallowed by a small ck hole. The sooner the array is disbanded, the smaller the ck hole.


    The system did a scan of the surroundings, [FUCK! ARE THIS NINCOMPOOPS HERE FOR WAR?]


    You Xi Wang stopped in his tracks. He asked, "How many?"


    The system replied, [ 80 core formations, 20 primal souls. Thanks to the space locking array. Otherwise, The Nirvana rebirth must be here already.]


    You Xi Wang nced at his friends. He said, ''First you give me those from here to the cliffside. These guys have been poisoned, need to keep them safe.''


    The system hemmed and instantly locked onto 15 dark dwellers who were scattered in this area. Apparently, the dark forces poisoned the air before they stepped on the ind. Now they were carefully searching for the youngsters. You Xi Wang had ced a lot of electrical interference arrays, spirit blockade arrays, and trapping arrays.


    This is the reason he had to ask the system to scan the surroundings and tracking the bugs. His own spiritual sense has been affected by these arrays. This was a smart move on his side. He did not expect the opponent to bring such a big amount of people. Thus heid down the arrays to prevent such a thing, where they are all caught up by surprise.


    Also, the poison was more like a slow one. No one would detect it. But the system did, it stopped the breathing as soon as the traces were detected. As a cultivator holding his breath was not a big deal. but this cannotst. The system spoke, [Take out the wolf mask, time to hunt, master.]


    You Xi Wang put on his ck wolf mask, he can breathe now. He let out Maya from the shadows. He said, "You guard them. Kill anyone who approaches. If you can kill them. Otherwise, inform me. I will be here."


    Maya nodded. She had recovered from the previous injury she suffered. You Xi Wang gave her the high-grade healing pill. It was because of her pain the boy spouted blood. The reason was that the moment Maya dived inside the shadow, she had just entered half and they were dealt the blow. Otherwise, would a beast''s physique be weaker than a human? They were hurt because of disturbed shadow warp.


    You Xi Wang nodded, his figure vanished. He was using Shadow step. Two minutester he appeared in front of a dark dweller. You Xi Wang looked like a mutated night hound who can walk on two hind legs. The dark dweller was surprised, before he could do anything, a golden fistnded on his temple.


    <em>PUFF</em>


    His head was now a burst watermelon. These core formation realm dark dwellers were nothing for You Xi Wang. His figure moved quickly and appeared a meter away from his prey. The next moment, the dark dweller sensed a sudden chilling from his forehead. He raised his hand and found something protruding out of his skull.


    ''What is this?'' that was hisst thought. The divine thorn pierced through his skull. You Xi Wang retracted his spear and melted in the shadows again. The next target was two people standing together. You Xi Wang appeared ten meters away from them.


    He spoke with the system as the bow was taken out, ''One shot two kills?''


    The system said, [Hmmm, okay. I switched on the battle recording drone embedded in the suit.]


    Next, a golden arrow flew and lodged two people to a tree, with a swish. You Xi Wang said, "It would have been cool if others were here. The process continued till You Xi Wang killed 15 people and returned to the clearing edge. He found Maya sneaking up on a Dark Dweller who was about to touch Isaac''s face.


    You Xi Wang shivered and said, "No offense but, I did not know this kind of Dark dweller existed."


    Maya cast an icicle de behind the dark dweller''s neck and <em>PUCHI</em>. The dark dweller fell with a thud. Without wasting any time, You Xi Wang carried four people at a time and moved them inside the cliffside. Then he wrote them a note and left some instructions. They will wake up as soon as they did note into contact with the poison.


    You Xi Wang left to hunt. He started killing the core formation realms first. Sometimes he would just push the dark dweller inside a killing array and leave. This was a time-efficient way. After killing 60 core formation realms. He sensed Primal soul sense erupting from the outside of the ind. You Xi Wang asked the system, [Say fucker, did you not say they had 20 primal souls, I have been acting all cautious to save them forst. Yet now I find them all outside the ind. What kind of scan is that? Can you not add the location?]


    The system replied, [Note taken. I will keep it in mind to add the location.]


    You Xi Wang snorted, ''Some system you are.''


    The systemshed out, [Shut up, you prick. How would I know that you don''t understand that the minions are sent first. Then the general arrives. You sleazy cunt. Better start killing people or you might die virgin you MOFO.]


    His acid is still as strong as ever. You Xi Wang immediately got back to killing. If someone looked beneath the mask, they would find that the corner of his lips was twitching constantly.


    Suddenly as soon as thest Core Formation corpse fell, a roar erupted in the sky. "<strong>YOU WILL DIE MISERABLY YOU FILTH. HOW DARE YOU TO KILL MY PEOPLE.</strong>"


    This roar was not targeted to You Xi Wang. Given the speed of the primal soul senses, they all should have arrived at his location by now. But since they all did not it meant The council forces have arrived.


    You Xi Wang flew up to the crown of a big tree, and he saw some people flying in the air, facing each other. 16 Nirvana Rebirth were involved in a staredown. Suddenly a man in an azure blue robe replied in a cold voice, "<em>You dark scum, dared to plot. You insects of the shadows, you had the guts to nt demon summoning boxes and sacrifice our children? See if I sacrifice your souls today.</em>"


    This man was none other than, Elder hippie at this moment he looked very cool. A cheerful voice disrupted the scene set, "Elder Hippie, you are so cool."

 Chapter 248: Dealt with ease.

    Chapter 248: Dealt with ease.


    The voice belonged to You Xi Wang. It did make the atmosphere lose the usual tension. The next moment You Xi Wang was attacked by a strong aura. The strongmen of the council did not think that the Dark Dwellers would attack a junior in their presence.


    Did it scare You Xi Wang? He stood up from the crown of the tree and said, "Come at me you bugs." the next second he was glowing with a golden light. His body was covered with golden armor. Four holy beasts were engraved on it. His aura changed, his spirit was rose to another level.


    The aura of the dark dwellers vanished as if it had never appeared. You Xi Wang spoke in a cold voice, "YOU BUGS THINK BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF STRENGTH THAN OTHER BUGS, YOU THREATEN ME? NO MATTER HOW STRONG A BUG IS. IT WILL BE A BUG."


    The next moment, something happened and it shook both the council and the dark side. You Xi Wang vanished and appeared in the middle of the two forces. In his hand, a golden spear and a golden sword were trembling and giving off shrill cries of excitement.


    The boy stabbed the spear forward with a loosened grip. The spear almost flew out, he held it tightly again from the end of the shaft. The spearhead was pointed at Heath Ashton. He spoke, "Say you creepy insect. Want to face me head-on? Or do you only know how to be sneaky?"


    The dark dwellers were enraged. While the council elders held their heads high. What was bravery? This was bravery. The hippie elder spoke, "Boy, are you sure?"


    You Xi Wang replied with a raised eyebrow, "Are you doubting me?" his voice was domineering. His whole person was in a different mode now. Alester Book sighed and spoke, "Wang''er, reign it in."


    The golden glow in his eyes dimmed a little. He took a deep breath, with his spear still pointed at Heath Ashton he said, "Are youing, or do Ie to you?"


    Heath Ashton was irritated and his figure shed, appearing right in front of You Xi Wang and a sword shed out at the golden armor boy. You Xi Wang swung around and the long spear mmed in Heath Ashton''s exposed left underarm.


    <strong>BANG</strong>


    The dark dweller was shunned off. You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "You are not worthy of me using my weapons." He left the sword and the spear suspended in the air. Then his fists started to glow. A vague roar was heard in the void.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Come, I will break you." his words rilled in Heath Ashtonpletely. The dark dweller suddenly used his sword deeply and You Xi Wang ducked with his hands close to his body. Heath suddenly felt a stinging paining from his left ribs. The boy in the wolf suit had punched his open ribs.


    Achilles nodded and said, "This boy, his fighting style is different. But Good." he was doneplimenting when two more fistsnded on the dark dweller''s temple and liver. The guy was stunned. His body felt as if it was burning from inside out. You Xi Wang stopped his assault and nced at all of the Dark Dwellers. He said, "You people did not even take a chance to sneak attack? Are you sure you are Dark insects?"


    A figure appeared behind him with a halberd in his hand. The de was shing down at You Xi Wang. The boy did not even turn back. The councilmen were very anxious they wanted to warn him but Achilles shook his head.


    <strong>BANG BANG.</strong>


    Two golden bullets were shot from a gun You Xi Wang held. He said, "Okay, I am bored of your games. You sneak when I ask you, maybe you will bark when I ask you. So now I ask you to die." The man behind him was close to You Xi Wang. But instead of attacking the man himself, he controls his spear to fly over.


    The man was amidst the attack and he could not stop his moments. The spearhead passed through his back and came out of the chest. The next moment You Xi Wang pped his forehead, he insta cast a spirit blocking array. This was to prevent him from using his power. The boy kicked him back to his master. He said, "Master, can you guard him for a bit. I haven''t yed enough with him. I will collect him back after I deal with these fuckers."


    You Xi Wang had no empathy for the dark dwellers. He turned around and appeared next to Heath. His hand shed and a handgun appeared in his hand.


    <em>Pew</em>...


    The boy used a phaser gun. A hole appeared in Heath''s abdomen. He wailed, "<strong>NOOOOOO</strong>..."


    You Xi Wang kicked his jaw and broke it. Only a muffled groan was heard. The viin received a second kick and it sent him flying to Achilles. He said, "Elder, a gift to you."


    The dark dweller master saw two of his disciples falling to such straits and he roared. You Xi Wang turned to face him and an assault rifle appeared in his hand. The next thing everyone saw was a shower of golden light raining over the dark dwellers. In a blink, the beamsnded on the dark dwellers.


    The dark dwellers did not know what happen. The master wailed, "<strong>WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHAT IS THAT WEAPON?</strong>"


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Dear council elders, master. I proudly present you, PAR, Phaser Assault Rifle. This weapon is capable of gathering your spirit energy and then shoot it in the form of a beam. These beams are capable of traveling at the speed of light. I have 9 of such rifles custom-made for you. It was a gift from the Elves. I hope now you guys can let them leave in peace."


    The council elders were stunned. The most shocked was Alester Book. He suddenly startedughing loudly, "<strong>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...GOOD BOY, WANG''ER</strong>"


    He said in a loud voice, "Did you fucking insects think, that it was you who can y games in the shadows? We can do that too. Our operation is too good too. Maggots. Now let''s see how long can youst."


    The 8 masters flew up and grabbed the injured dark dwellers. The opponents started to fight but they were helpless. You Xi Wang''s holy spirit will be more effective against the higher level dark dwellers. You Xi Wang and Achilles stood in the void side by side. You Xi Wang had Barn hanging in the void with his leg tied to a rope.


    Achilles spoke, "Boy, you are good. Meet me after you recover."


    You Xi Wang gave him a deep nce and nodded. His gaze returned to the fighting elders. In Achilles''s eyes he was not a junior anymore, but an equal. He alone wiped the upper echelons of the death sect. This was an unprecedented achievement.


    ...


    In array hall, Animus was drinking tea. As soon as he saw You Xi Wang taking out a PAR he sprayed the tea out. He said in a loud voice, "FUCK!!!"


    Animo Albus was shocked. She asked, "Master, what happened?" her master has seldom lostposure. He is capable of reading minds so how did he be so shocked.


    Animus replied, "Xiao Chi, your brother just scrapped the whole upper echelon of The Death Sect. Do you want to know how?"


    You Zhichi was also present at the watchtower. She nodded her head with a smile, "Please tell me, grandmaster."


    Animus sighed, "He took out a gun, fired it. That''s all." after watching the two people beside him acting confused. He narrated the whole process to them. You Zhichi couldn''t help but startughing. Animus asked, "Xiao Chi, why do youugh?"


    You Zhichi restrained herself and said, "Grandmaster, that brat is an actor. He deliberately called upon his martial spirit. He deceived everyone. Tell me if heughed or acted excited? Talking to people instead of talking to them?"


    Animus nodded and agreed with her. You Zhichi then said, "Gougou gets calm when he is angry. His calm is so terrifying that even I feel scared of him. Since he was talking then it was probably because he was scared."


    Animus was shocked. After some silence he said with a sigh, "He is the first person, I cannot see through."


    The old man shook his head and got back to drink his tea.


    ...


    Back on the ind, Alester Book wasughing happily with his fellow elders. They rejected You Xi Wang''s gift of Phaser Beam Guns. They said that it was meant for the young people. They don''t like shy things. You Xi Wang went to the cliff side and brought out the people. They were all now sober. They were all shocked on how You Xi Wang helped them catch the upper echelon of the dark sect. They were surprised but that was it.


    The dust settled and now the Council started to hunt the left overs of the dark dwellers. The situation was now calm. But it was difficult to say what sort of Calm it was. Was it before the store or was it after the storm.

 Chapter 249: Pioneer.

    Chapter 249: Pioneer.


    The dark dwellers were sent to the torture and experimentation rooms, the council wanted to extract everything they can from them. The hippie elder was presiding over the interrogation himself. The whole council was shaken up as soon as they received the news that The Death Sect''s upper echelon was wiped out. They all did not expect such news all of a sudden.


    What surprised them, even more, was the fact that Death Sect was a major support pir to the shadow council. This event was bound to coz a stir in the dark side. At this moment You Xi Wang stood in front of 8 council elders. The eight elders sat on a semi-circr table. You Xi Wang sat in front of them with a poker face. He did not know why he was called here.


    Alester Book spoke, "You have done really good, Wang''er. The council would like to know your take on how this news to be presented to the world."


    You Xi Wang bowed to the elders. He said, "Elders, the junior is obliged with the fact that my opinion is also taken into ount. So, I will not be ignorant and reject this honor. I hope that the council can mention that the participants of the trial can be given some credit for taking down the dark dwellers. The demon summoning should not be mentioned as it will only create panic and fear for the future among the civilians. As for the reason behind how the death sect master is taken down. I leave that up to you all."


    The council elders nodded. You Xi Wang did leave the most important thing to them, that showed his respect for them. Achilles spoke, "We have decided to fulfill one of your wishes. Tell us. What do you want?"


    You Xi Wang spoke without hesitation, "I want me and my squad to be allowed to venture in the lost sector." his words sent tremors to the elders. A gracefuldy spoke, "Junior You Xi Wang, why do you know what kind of a ce is the lost sector?"


    You Xi Wang nced at thedy, she was the strategist of the council forces. Don''t judge her by appearance. She was even more fierce than Achilles himself. Her name is Victoria Lisbeth.


    The boy bowed to her slightly and said, "The junior is aware of what kind of ce the lost sector is but, treasures and trouble are always together. Once they are you shrink back from opportunities. You will never be able to improve easily. Pardon me for such a remark elder."


    Thedy asked, "We will allow you to venture in but you need to tell us how big your team will be first."


    You Xi Wang replied, "My own team of five people. The other top contenders who took part in the final and their teams. I will ask for a medic toe along with us as well. 80 cultivators, 20 spirit beasts, 4 array masters, and 1 medic. You can make inquiries."


    Before getting back to the Council headquarter, he already asked the other people all the details regarding their teams. He was going to ask his master for this even if they did not ask him.


    Victoria Lisbeth asked, "What is it that you seek in the lost sector?"


    You Xi Wang wang replied, "Opportunities."


    "What opportunities?" asked back thedy.


    The boy replied, "Opportunities, that can make my team stronger. That can make me see what lies ahead." his answer seemed a bit vague but, Victoria smiled faintly. She nodded to him.


    Then said, "Very well, you are given 15 days for preparation and make arrangements for everything you need to look after. Once you depart here, the trip willst for a year. You will haves set but whether it can connect is not up to us. Any questions?" she did not ask whether the team agreed to him or not. It was evident that they all agreed when they sent a confirmation


    You Xi Wang shook his head and after a bow, he retreated to the outside where the rest of the trial finalists were standing. The boy said, "UMMM, start prepping, we have 15 days to departure. The trip willst for a year. Thes however is a different issue. I will now go back home and rest before we head out." he paused and looked at all of the people.


    He continued, "We all will be moving as one unit. So, in ten days we all will meet here in the imperial city. Get to know and practice together to increase our cooperation together. What do you guys think?"


    Isaac asked, "How will we improve the cooperation together in just five days?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "I have my own method. Don''t worry, you will see then. How about it? Will you be ready in 100 days?"


    The rest of the people nodded, after a small talk they all left. Gena was the only one who stayed behind. The green-eyed girl spoke in a soft and low voice, "You Xi Wang, can I go to Silica City with you? Master asked me to learn about the tech you used. Then we will be able to use it in the lost sector."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile and the two people left.


    ...


    Inside the hall. The elders were arguing over, why did Victoria agree to such a request. Achilles asked, "Victoria, why did you agree to him? Do you not know that ce is deadnd? Your War forces are having trouble keeping those things inside. Now you want a bunch of kids to be deployed there? Are you dumb?"


    Alester suddenly sighed. Victoria''s gaze turned cold as soon as she heard the word ''dumb''. She spoke in a cold voice, "Do you think I am dumb? Why don''t you send your defense forces there? My forces are capable enough to hold them all inside for so many centuries. They can do it even now. As for the reason I agreed to You Xi Wang. It was because this boy can constantly improve his skills and strength. Do you know how much has Isaac improved under his influence?"


    Yup, Isaac was her disciple. His growth has been tremendous. He did tell Victoria about the way they dealt with the demons and new ways to survive in the wild. It was rare for Isaac topliment and praise someone else. Thus Victoria had confidence in You Xi Wang.


    She snorted and said, "Book, do you have a problem with me sending your disciple to that ce?"


    Alester Book shook his head and said, "My disciple is your disciple as well, Vicky. I don''t mind any of you doing something for his improvement."


    Victoria smiled at his words. She said to Achilles, "Mark my words, Achilles. This boy will earn his ce in that book. In, just one year. He will be a God Of War."


    ...


    As the people were arguing, You Xi Wang was already flying back to Silica City with Gena along with him. They were traveling by the airship Elder Hippie used to pick them up earlier. On the way back You Xi Wang called his grandaunt.


    You Naixin picked up the call in a blink. She spoke, "Xiao Wang, how are you? The council released a piece of news that the death sect raided your trial spot?"


    You Xi Wang smiled brightly as he replied, "I am fine, Granny Xin. We dealt with those bugs with ease. Also, I am on a way back home. After 10 days, we will be sent to a secret realm for training and improving ourselves. I will tell you when I get home. So, I called you so that you only tell uncle Robert to pick me up. Don''t tell anyone, it will be a surprise for them."


    You Naixin sighed, "Okay, my child. I will see you then. I will have your favorite food prepped. Also, tell me, do I have a new daughter-inw?" despite being his Grandaunt, You Naixin treated You Xi Wang as her own child.


    You Xi Wang stuck out his tongue and said, "I am not a womanizer, Granny."


    Thedy chuckled. She said, "Okay, Okay. I will not tease you. Let me ask, big mother Cotton to make your favorite food. Also, Xiao Chi is in seclusion with her master so, you will have to buy some gifts or an army of little devils will spit out your bones."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. The call ended. The boy sighed and said, "Only 10 days, huh."


    He was now very attached to the family. He disliked this feeling of being distant. Yet he had no other choice. To make sure that his family improves steadily the boy had to be the pioneer. Only when he ventures out will the family be able to follow his lead. He wanted to tell them that as long as they have the guts to take a step forward to their dreams, they will be able to see the whole new way.


    As thoughts shed in his mind, the airship flew to its destination.

 Chapter 250: Warmth.

    Chapter 250: Warmth.


    You Xi Wang walked out of the airship as soon as the hatch door opened. Thending ce was the Silica City Academy. Gena followed You Xi Wang and saw a big entourage ready to wee him, with bouquets and banners. She was surprised to see that You Xi Wang was received so warmly at his school.


    You Xi Wang walked up he met the principal and the faculty members. His gaze lurked around searching for a certain someone. But the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found. After the boy was done with the greetings he rejected the parade. The excuse was exhaustion. To respect their emotions and show his gratitude the boy promised them all a banquet.


    Only then did his ssmates let him go. They were all curious about Gena so You Xi Wang made the introductions. The people were surprised at first but then they weed her warmly. Gena was overwhelmed and kept bowing to the people. You Xi Wang jumped in and took her away. Outside the academy, Robert was waiting for them.


    Watching You Xi Wang approach, Robert greeted him with a smile, "Wee back, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "It is good to be back, Uncle Robert. Also, did you drive my car?"


    Robert smiled and said, "Lady Naixin, said that you would like to drive it after so many days."


    You Xi Wang smiled, "Granny knows me too well. So where are the keys?"


    Robert handed him the keys and said, "I will be heading off then Young master. See you at home." then he took out a levbike from his space ring and rode it away.


    You Xi Wang gestured Gena to get inside his car. The boy strapped on the seat belt felt the steering wheel for a bit and then after a quick ignition, the case flew off like a bullet out of the gun. Gena felt a strong thrust pushing her back in the seat. She did not expect such a thing to happen in the modern vehicle. You Xi Wang sensed her surprise and said, "It is just a feature of the seats. They are equipped with a grade 1 gravity array. It triggers only when the driver elerates too quickly."


    Gena nodded at his exnation. She agreed that this feature increased the riding experience. The car drifted around the roads perfectly and the people all took videos of such driving. You Xi Wang stopped the vehicle at a mall. He asked Gena, "Would you like toe along with me or wait in the car?"


    Gena nodded and opened the door directly. This girl was so shy that she would rather act mute than speak to You Xi Wang. The boy shook his head with a smile and got off the car. He led Gena to a toy store. He directly bought out all the soft toys and Action figures. The store owner was very happy at such a big transaction. He even agreed to free delivery but You Xi Wang took them all into his space ring.


    The next stop was a luxury brand clothing store. There he bought a lot of dresses for all ages and sizes. The clothing shopping took a lot of time as the boy had to rush to a lot of luxury brand stores. He bought perfumes, watches, video games. Snacks, and candies. He even bought weapons and some gadgets.


    Gena was following him with silence. You Xi Wang said, "Umm, I am the master of my family. So, if I go back after so many days and did not bring back gifts then it would be saddening. I hope you don''t mind."


    The green-haired girl shook her head with a smile. Her reaction was adorable. The two peopleter returned to the car and the vehicle sprinted to the You family mansion. It was just in time for breakfast when You Xi Wang arrived home. He greeted the guard with a smile and the guards were also happy to see him return.


    The boy first walked to the gardens where he knew Emily would be. He gestured Gena to wait at some distance as he suddenly shed and appeared behind Emily who was busy gardening. The girl did not scream but leaned more in You Xi Wang''s embrace. She said, "Finally you are back, Young Master."


    You Xi Wang hugged her and asked, "How did you know it was me?" he was surprised but did not let go of her dainty waist.


    The girl said, "Your touch and fragrance Young Master."


    You Xi Wang snuggled in her neck and said, "I missed you, my love."


    Emily replied, "Me too, Darling." she turned to face him as he held her waist. The two people kissed. Gena who was watching from the side felt her face burning. She quickly turned around. The two people parted and You Xi Wang caressed her face. His eyes were as if they will suck Emily inside.


    Emily was no different from You Xi Wang. Suddenly they heard a cough from the side. You Xi Wang saw Susan standing with her arms crossed as she watched the two people with an amused smile. You Xi Wang extended his hand and took thedy in his arms. Two jade palms cupped his face.


    Susan said, "Why do you leave for so long periods?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "I don''t want to but I have to. Forgive me."


    Susan shook her head and said, "Just keep us in your heart, wherever you go." then she kissed him. You Xi Wang did not resist and followed her lead. The scene was anything but shy. The boy kissed a girl while holding onto another one. Wonder if the people would be jealous.


    After the two parted Emily said, "Young master, why did you not say that there is a guest?" she was still shy in front of an outsider and left his embrace hurriedly. You Xi Wang shook his head as he kept hugging Susan.


    Emily greeted Gena. You Xi Wang made the introduction, and the two girls warmly weed her as a friend. Gena asked him if she could rest. Before the boy could reply, Emily took her to a guest room. While the boy held Susan''s hand and headed to the dining hall.


    ...


    Inside the dining hall, the people all nced at the food on their tes. You Tong spoke, "Is it just me, or the dishes today are all Xiao Wang''s favorite."


    Some other girls also supported her. You Xi Wang was the most loved. It was so much that they all knew what food he liked to eat. No one else was so loved in the family as he was by both the young and the old.


    Suddenly a voice sounded in the dining room, "The food is not the only thing I like, I like all of you too." You Tong nced at the source of the voice, but two voices were still faster than her.


    "<em>XIXI (BIG BROTHER XI WANG)"</em>


    Lily and Celestia jumped off their chairs and ran up to the boy in front of them. They jumped when they were near him and You Xi Wang caught them in his arms. He asked in a soft voice, "How are my little fairies? I missed you so much." then he kissed them both on their cheeks.


    The two girls did not say anything but they just hugged him tightly as if afraid that he will vanish. You Xi Wang did not disturb them and said, "Fam Hug?"


    Everybody nodded and they all shared a big warm hug. It was about 60 people hugging each other with You Xi Wang in the center. This family had a very strong bond. After they broke up the hug You Xi Wnag passed on the gifts as he carried the two girls in his arms. They just did not want to leave him at all. It was as if a baby monkey sticking to its mother.


    The master of the family was spoon-fed by two lovely dolls. He also fed them with his hands. The elders asked if they will have a gathering but before You Xi Wang could say anything the two kids made a face and said, "Grandpa, he just came back. Let him rest and be with us. Why do you need meetings and meetings all the time?"


    The old men were helpless in front of the two girls. After breakfast, You Xi Wang bought the two girls back to his room and he asked LUCY to call his team to his ce as well. He did not see them all at school, which meant that they were all busy in training and did not know that he wasing back.


    In his room, Maya also came out of his shadow and the target of the cuddle changed immediately. The beast beauty did not say anything just let them hug her tightly. This made You Xi Wang sigh as well because the warmth he felt near these people was not something he could ever find with other people.

    Chapter 251: DEED DONE.


    Yuki was the first one to arrive and unlike her usually cold self, this time she rushed to You Xi Wang''s room and threw herself in his arms. The girl had watery eyes and the boy was immediately scared. He hugged her tightly and coaxed her with some sweet words. The two people were sticking to each other with no spaces between them.


    You Xi Wang kissed her rosy petals. Yuki responded in kind. Their hands were about to be dishonest when they heard two little girls talking like a grown-up.


    "The youth nowadays, Lily, I tell you they don''t feel shy in front of others just doing bad things." Celestia shook her head slightly as she spoke.


    Lily followed her lead, "I know right. Just dipping in the springs of phndering. What will be of their future? Huh. The family also allows them. This whole thing is bad."


    They were as if some grandmothers talking about their grandsons. You Xi Wang immediately attacked them with tickles and Yuki joined in the room was echoing with theughter of the two girls. Only when the two pleaded did You Xi Wang and Yuki let them go. The girls sat in You Xi Wang''sp with their heads leaning on his chest.


    The boy was softly caressing their hair. He asked, "Were you two good when I was gone?"


    The girls nodded, You Xi Wang asked them some more stuff. In the end, he said, "Go get ready, we will all party tonight. Big sister will be here as well. The two girls nodded and after kissing his cheeks they all ran out. This time they also took Maya with them.


    You Xi Wang and Yuki had a sloppy make-out session when the door was knocked again. The boy and the girl quickly sorted their clothes as You Xi Wang said, "Come in."


    Cultivator perk number 2, they could sort their clothes very quickly.


    Emily entered the room and said, "Young Master, I called sister Petra, she replied that she still has some work to do. Can you bring her over?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and after giving the two people a goodbye kiss he left. When he was out of earshot, Yuki asked, "Second sister, is the n about to begin?"


    Emily nodded with a blush. She said, "I don''t know, what is going on in that head of you two but yes it is about to start."


    ...


    You Xi Wang was unaware that the two girls had done something sly to pit him today. His vehicle soared through the roads and reached Petra''s apartments. His car was already registered by Petra in the apartment register.


    The boy parked the vehicle, arrived at Petra''s house. He knocked on the door and after a second the door opened on its own. The AI in the house greeted, "Wee back, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang has been herest time and the AI had him registered in the database. The boy replied, "Good to be back, Xiao AI."


    Then he undid his shoes and walked up inside. He found that there was a note on the floor, it said, "<em>WELCOME BACK</em>"


    You Xi Wang smiled and walked inside. He came to Petra''s bedroom suddenly the door flung open and Susan stood in front of him. He asked in surprise, "What happened? Howe you are here?"


    Susan spoke, "Granny Xin told us that you will be leaving for a year after ten days. So, this time we decided that it is time that we give up thest restraint. We girls asked both Aunty Bei and Granny Xin. They agreed with us. So by the order. I am the first." the girl was already standing in front of You Xi Wang in her baby suit.


    She took them all off when they were chatting. The boy had no time to react when his lips were sealed by Susan. After a few seconds, he let go of all the burdens and held her slender waist as the two people exchanged a passionate kiss.


    The kiss was not very hard and rough but gentle and passionate. Susan helped You Xi Wang with his clothes and the two of them kept kissing. The boy started to shower the beauty in his arms with soft kisses over her nape, jawline, and earlobes. Susan was intoxicated by his gentle yet dominant touch.


    She returned the favor to him in kind. Her satin soft lips kissed You Xi Wang''s shoulder, chest, neck, face. They were both lost in the spring of lust. The girl was suddenly lifted in his strong arms. Then gently she was ced on the bed. The boy started to kiss her, lick her feet. He moved slowly upward to her tender fair thighs.


    He teased her by moving his tongue around her forbidden garden. The girl finally could not hold on. She grabbed his hair and shove his face onto her nector hole. Moans erupted her mouth as the boy savored the nector.


    After a few minutes, he moved up. His mouth however was still leaving marks on her body. The boy gently bit her belly. The left slightly red marks on her fair skin. Then he came to her glorious mounds and the two cherry blossoms. He flicked them with his tongue and Susan shoved his head in her cleavage.


    You Xi Wang was not very idle, his hands moved right to Susan''s forbidden garden and started to flick the bean gently. Susan also moved her hand and held his proud rod in her palm. You Xi Wang let out a soft grunt.


    The two people went back to kissing each other. Susan broke the kiss and said, "I want you, my love. I need you to mark me with your essence."


    You Xi Wang instinctively parted her legs and shoved his rod in her erogenous cave. The room was filled with moans and cheers of pleasure. You Xi Wang was totally lost in the seas of pleasure. In two lives, this was his first time. Susan was also very much driven. The two people did it for four hours, in different positions and the girl had lost count of how many times she came.


    You Xi Wang was that strong in his first time. Finally, the girl dropped on his chest, covered in ayer of sweat and sticky substance. While You Xi Wang was also panting on the bed. Today he finally experienced the bliss of SEX.

 Chapter 252: Parting.

    Chapter 252: Parting.


    The boy nced at Susan whoid in his arms. He noticed that she had some tears in her eyes. He asked, "Susie, love what happened to you?" he was worried that he might have done something wrong.


    Susan replied, "I never thought that I would ever experience such a gentle touch. Thank you, Xi Wang." a smile surfaced on her face as she nced at the worried You Xi Wang. Although the intercourse was rigorous, the boy was gentle with her. He always paid attention to her expressions and that is why she let out tears.


    You Xi Wang sensed his Holo-Phone buzzing, it was Celestia calling him. He was about to initiate when Susan patted his chest gently. You Xi Wang gulped, he realized that the two people were not in a child-friendly state.


    He chose the voice only and Celestia spoke in a confused tone, "Big Brother what happened to your video?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "The holo-phone is malfunctioning. I will be home in thirty minutes. What happened?"


    Celestia replied, "Big sister came back and we have something important for you. Come soon." her voice was thrilled.


    You Xi Wang smiled unconsciously as he heard her bell-like voice. he said, "You can start counting, 30 minutes only."


    Celestia replied okay and the call was disconnected. Susan and he wereying in a cuddle for half an hour now. Hearing the call Susan said, "Sister Chichi must have something important let''s go."


    You Xi Wang nodded, carried Susan to the bathroom. They took a shower, in the meantime, a robot changed the sheets and pillow covers. The two people came out wearing fresh clothes. The boy suddenly asked, "Umm, how did you get here though?"


    Susan chuckled as she said, "It was a secret among us sisters. You don''t worry let''s go."


    You Xi Wang nodded and the two people walked to the vehicle after locking the house. The driving skills were executed and the boy reached his home in just twenty-five minutes. He headed straight to the garden where everyone was gathered. From a distance, he spotted his sister, who was sitting beside Animo Albus.


    He ignored everything else and came to her side. You Zhichi smiled at him and the two people hugged each other. She said, "I heard what you did in the trial. Are you okay?" she nced at him from head to toe and even circled him.


    You Xi Wang shook his head with a smile, indicating that he was fine. While his sister was checking if he was injured, he was doing the same. He let go of a breath he was holding inside when his suspicion ended into nothing. The boy sent her a mental message, "What is it? Celes told me it was something important."


    You Zhichi nced at him and caressed his face gently. She said, "After ten days, I will be going to the array hall. I will cultivate there for a year. I will be taking Celes and Lily with me. Along with some other young children. Master will teach them cultivation as a teacher and array knowledge."


    You Xi Wang was surprised but he still nodded, he spoke in a low voice, "I will be going to the lost sector. The elder of warring forces said it willst for a year. Why do I feel bitter now?" he raised his head to the sky and closed his eyes.


    Suddenly he felt a warm embrace around him. You Zhichi spoke, "You will never be gone, my dear. You will be just a little bit away. You will have me in your heart and I will have you in mine. What is there to feel bitter?"


    The scene was witnessed by everyone. Xi Wang hugged his sister back and said, "Why do you have to act brave always, can you not say that you will miss me? Who would sort my hair? Who would pamper me? And how would act like a baby if you are not there?"


    You Zhichi finally could not hold back, her brother had buried his head in her shoulders and his body was trembling slightly. He was trying to hold back his tears. She patted his back gently, as she said, "Do I need to say all this? Who will guard me when you are gone? Who will check on me at night, if I am sleeping or not? Who will share my ice cream? Also, who would eat the food I made?"


    She took a pause and said, "Go with peace in your mind, Gougou. We will have fun in ten days. When youe back we will have a vacation. Okay?"


    You Xi Wang hummed but he did not let go of his sister. To him, his sister was a mother figure whom he could never bear parting from. The same applied to You Zhichi, to her, You Xi Wang was just like how Celestia or Lily was a kid who always needed someone to be looked after. The two had a heavy heart at this moment.


    They broke away from the hug only after a few minutes. You Xi Wang saw that Lily and Celestia were also hugging themselves. He crouched down and asked, "What are you two hugging each other for?"


    Celestia and Lily looked at him aggrieved and spoke in unison, "We won''t be able to collect protection Candy." You Xi Wang could not hold on and startedughing. So did the others. The boy scooped up the two dolls in his arms and hugged them. He said, "I will ask them to deliver candy voluntarily, Okay?"


    The two girls stopped fake tears and smiled brightly as they said, "We knew you are the best."


    You Xi Wangughed and the heavy atmosphere dissolved. The banquet wrapped up very easily. The boy spent the whole night with his family members, singing and dancing. The next day he told his team the destination this time. The team was all excited. They did not expect to have a chance to venture into the lost sector.


    Their parents allowed them to go after some emotional persuasion. Fenny and You Xi Wang also developed some new equipment that mighte in handy and they also prepared a lot of spare parts to use in an emergency.


    Matthew and Minerva gave him the newly developed holo-phone scouter. This can be ced on the ears and was mentally controble. Gena also spent the time she had inside theb with You Xi wang and Fenny as they created blueprints and designs worth a fortune.


    The tech they collected consisted ofmunicators, battle suits, advanced weapons, surveince tools, etc. The bit was not stingy and he made battle suits for the other teams as well. he even called them to ask what they wanted it to be like. They also had a lot of healing pills and food pills. They also stored wine and frozen meat. Then water and other essentials.


    Gena was impressed by this gesture of his. Fenny being her usual self, helped Gena open up a lot and she was not awkward inmunication now. You Xi Wang spent his free time with his girls and the kids of the family.


    On the ninth day, the boy collected 50 virtual reality cabins. this was how he was going to let the people develop coordination together in five days. It may sound easy but it was very hard. In the past few days, he did it with Susan to his heart''s content. The two people gained a lot as well.


    Their spiritual energy underwent a qualitative change this was an unexpected benefit to You Xi Wang. But every good thinges to an end. He left early the next morning, leaving only a note for his sister and the rest of the family. He did not have the heart to say goodbye. In his absence, the family was handed to You Zhichi.


    His master told him that they will be traveling in outer space. All those years ago when the lost day urred. The location was the moon. This ce was the first outer space colony of Metropia but somehow Dark Dwellers sneaked in and they ruined it. Ever since then demons and dark creatures would often spawn in the lost sector.


    This ce was overseen by Warring forces. A force that was developed to guard the whole. Themon people were not privy to the location of the lost sector. When You Xi Wang found out he was shocked and so were the others. Today when he boarded the airship with his friends. He spotted his sister waving at him as she stood in the void.


    You Xi Wang waved back at her with a sad smile on his face. He shouted when the door was closing, "<strong>DON''T TURN INTO A OLD HAG WHEN I COMEBACK. OKAY? LOVE YOU, BIG SIS.</strong>"


    The girl also replied, "<strong>LOVE YOU TOO, GOUGOU. TAKE CARE.</strong>"

 Chapter 253: Arrival.

    Chapter 253: Arrival.


    You Xi Wang and the restnded in the imperial sector. They were greeted by a lever 7 council official who led them to the office of the warring force. Elder Victoria was addressing the other teams who were going to the Lost sector. The top people greeted You Xi Wang as they saw himing.


    Victoria soft in an aloof voice, "You guys are going to a ce where trust and discipline are the keys to saving your life. You will all be equipped with an all-time body cam. This camera will telecast your activities directly here. I am telling you this because, if you tried to backstab yourpanions, I will annihte your families from the roots. If you face death and cannot ovee it, then die. The council will reward your bravery." her words were actually true.


    The juniors were dismissed, allowed to do what they wanted. You Xi Wang did not waste any time and gathered all 45 people in the arena of gods. There he set up the virtual reality cabins. The virtual reality helmets were incapable of supporting them for five days. During the dive, the brain would need nutrition.


    Tianlong group not only prepared the cabins but also the nutrition supplements. On the side of the cabin, a crystal container was filled with nutrition fluid. This container can support a person to dive for 30 days with no problems. The whole cabin was as big as a single bed, but the vibe it gave off was that of a coffin.


    You Xi Wang and the othersid down in the cabin and practiced. They fought against each other, then demon minions, then demonmanders. The process gradually became smooth and wless. You Xi Wang''s capability was kept hidden. The boyst time sessfully scared the other 8 people in the name of Animus.


    During the night on the fifth day, You Xi Wang asked them all to have a banquet with them. When they were all eating You Xi Wang met a friend.


    This friend was Richard ke. He came to his side and asked with a smile, "Brother Richard, tell me what is the kingpin of Sahasa, doing her in the imperial sector?"


    Richard was also surprised to see You Xi Wang here. He smiled as he spoke, "I am enrolling in Warring forces, I need something that can only be found there." his eyes shed with helplessness.


    You Xi Wang was surprised. He asked, "What happened? Tell me, I am also going to the warring states."


    Richard was surprised, but in the end, he still told You Xi Wang, "A few days ago my son, he contracted a weird sickness. His meridians have shrunk. The doctors gave him 2 years to live. I checked with other old doctors. Then one of them told me that my son has a special physique called, ''Reverting Immortal Physique.'' Before my child is 11 years old. He needs a special herb to awaken his physique or the body will age in reverse until one day he just vanishes."


    You Xi Wang had heard of something like this for the first time. He felt bad and suddenly Richard startedughing. He said, "I am sorry for making such a joke brother You, but I could not help myself. It has been so long since I could crack a joke with people. The men in the forces are all stone-faced. Also, your brother is single. The reason I enrolled was that I needed discipline in my life. So done being the Kingpin."


    You Xi Wang sighed and with a smile chuckled along with the dark man. He did not expect the underground world Kingpin to be so humorous. The two chatted a lot and then they parted. The other people were all there. Richard was warmly received by the squad. The next morning they will meet their Squad leader and then together these people will take off to the lost sector.


    ...


    The night passed away in a blink. Yuki and You Xi Wang stayed together, but they did not cross thest step because of the excitement and tension on their minds. The door was knocked on by Fenny in the morning.


    The group arrived at the Warring Force Office. They were all given an emblem and ID tag. It signified their identity as a warring force soldier. You were given the rank of a Captain. The other seven people from the sector toppers were lieutenants, then privates. They were to be led by amander. Themander was waiting for them on theunchpad.


    The airships were capable of space flight. The squad fell in four queues of ten people each, as they marched to theunch pad. They were led by an on-groundmander. When they all reached theunch pad.


    You Xi Wang saw a woman with her back facing them. Themander was a dainty-looking woman. She was at this moment guiding the troops who were loading the supplies. The on-groundmander approached her and saluted her with a palm on his heart. He spoke a few words, and themander turned to face the group.


    You Xi Wang and his friends were surprised. Themander turned out to be Maddison. You Xi Wang took a step forward and saluted her just like the on-groundmander did. He spoke in a loud voice, "SQUAD SALUTE."


    His words dropped and the whole squad saluted thedy. She had a Red Beret on her head, which wasplimenting her golden hair. Thedy returned the salute and said, "At ease."


    The squad followed hermand. Themander carried on speaking, "I am Maddison Midnight, you will address me as Commander Midnight, when on duty. Starting now, I want all of you people to follow mymands down to the word. Even if you die following themands, you must follow them. Understood?"


    "SIR, YES, SIR" the squad replied in unison. Maddison''s eyes stayed on You Xi Wang''s face for a bit and then she said, "All aboard."


    ...


    The whole squad was sitting in their chairs, feeling the g-force enveloping them. Then they all sensed the force loosening up. Aputerized voice echoed, "Artificial gravity, starting in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."


    The gravity returned to normal. You Xi Wang undid his seat belt and stood up. He said, "You all stay here." his words were to be obeyed or military punishment. The boy walked over to the control bay. This airship differed slightly from the civilian aircraft. The control bay had a big chair for the Commanding officer to sit and observe.


    A corporal saluted You Xi Wang when he arrived at the bay door. You Xi Wang returned the salute, and he walked in. He came and stood beside Maddison with silence. After a few minutes, Maddison asked, "What is it, Xi Wang?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Teacher, I thought you don''t remember me anymore."


    Maddison shook her head and said, "This uniform changes your teacher a bit. That doesn''t mean I will forget the brat who is now catching up to me. Oh, the see of crisis, I feel from you."


    You Xi Wang smiled, "It is good to be with you, teacher."


    Maddison nodded at him. The two people talked about her boyfriend''s tragedy and how she ended up here. Then Maddison told him that Victoria called her over, as she had ventured in the lost sector in the past and was You Xi Wang''s teacher. This way she could keep You Xi Wang under control and not let him rush ahead of himself.


    The two people were talking when the pilot said, "Commander, we willnd at Epoch Port in 10 minutes."


    Maddison nodded and said to You Xi Wang, "Go, get seated. We have arrived."


    You Xi Wang nodded and after a salute, the boy returned to his seat. He blinked to Yuki and the others, meaning that the teacher was now fine and they don''t have to worry. When they were all on theunchpad earlier, they thought Maddison forgot them.


    Soon the airshipnded, and the squad undid the seat belts. Some stretched while some yawned. They heard a crisp set of footsteps behind them and immediately they all became alert. Maddison walked out of the control bay and said, "When you step outside this ship, be ready, for what you are about to see is something you absolutely want to forget when you go back home alive."


    With those words, the squad was led outside. They were all immediately hit by a gloomy air. Filled with dark energy. Some even cast Spirit Energy shield to prevent the energy from corroding them. You Xi Wang shouted in a low voice, "Don''t cast shields, just circte the energy inside. You will be fine. Don''t panic."


    The world was dark. This ce was supported by a world-level array dome, it created a breathable ce for humans with no spacesuit. The sky was littered with twinkling stars and a ball of light was also visible. The world was browning green. As if fungi, but the soil was harmful, it was filled nano bugs, once you pick it up in your hand. The nano bug will dispose of your DICK.


    Lmao Just kidding.

 Chapter 254: Epoch Base.

    Chapter 254: Epoch Base.


    The moon was contrary to how it looked from Metropia to be, cold, dark, and gloomy. The moon was called Lumos. The ce where the airshipnded was called Epoch Base. It was a strong metal castle. The sides were guarded with sentries. All of them are equipped with the heaviest and strongest weaponry the squad has ever seen.


    Maddison led them out, had them all stand in a neat square arrangement. Then she spoke to themanding officer present on the base. She was relieving the stationed troops. The two people exchanged a scroll. This scroll was the supreme authority on the base. It can control the world array and also can call over the elder of the council to help them if the plightful situation urs.


    Maddison asked a corporal to show the squad their barracks. Males and females were separated because this ce needed them to bepletely focused. If the two genders are indulged in lustful acts, then they will die, weakening the whole squad. Such a thing will then lead to more casualties.


    Too paranoid, I know, but what would you do if you are in an area where you can be called to rush out, face demons, and other ugly stuff leading to their deaths? You Xi Wang and the others had noint and quickly got used to the amodation.


    One squad, boys. The same room for girls as well. The people had just settled in when Maddison called out the Captain and the lieutenant rank officers for a briefing. You Xi Wang and the others reacted quickly and rushed. It took them two minutes to arrive.


    Maddison spoke in a cold voice, "First time, epted, but the next time you are called. I need you to be here in one minute. I don''t care whether you are sleeping, shitting, or dead from fapping in the bathroom. One minute is one minute or I will throw you out of the base with one weapon and no food. Get It?"


    The officers reacted, "Sir, yes, sir." their voices were loud and clear. Maddison nodded and said, "You are all new, so I am not letting you go out alone. For the first week, you all will follow 9 captains present on the base and learn from them. Then you can go out and venture on your own."


    She spoke after a pause, "The meals here are food pills, so forget about anyvish lunches. You have ten minutes to gather up your teams and report to the assembly grounds. You Xi Wang stay behind. The rest are dismissed."


    The rest of the people left in a hub-bub. Maddison said to You Xi Wang, "Your battle prowess is good. But I need to you master the topology of this ce. You are to take a buggy and venture out, you will be apanied by Deputy Commander Rias." she pointed at a sturdy man behind her.


    You Xi Wang immediately saluted the man, who nodded at him. Maddison said, "DC Rias, you can take over."


    The man nodded and stepped forward. He said, "Come, we leave now. Do you have your weapons and food pills on you?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and the two people left themand station. Rias pointed at a lev buggy and said, "Are you capable of driving?"


    You Xi Wang nodded as he said, "Sir, yes, Sir."


    Rias gave him a card, "You drive, I navigate."


    The boy did not hesitate and sat down in the driver''s seat. The vehicle vroomed out like a bullet. The DC nodded at this. He gave You Xi Wang pointers, and the boy moved ordingly with no hesitation. Rias suddenly said, "Stop."


    You Xi Wang pressed the brakes and waited for the next instructions. The sturdy men said, "The dark creature hotspots have three types, Alpha, Beta, Gamma. The difference is not the danger but the type of creatures you will encounter. Gamma is for bugs and swarms. Beta is where the monster beasts gather, and Alpha is Humanoids such as Demon minions and demonmanders. The spot we are at now. Is a Beta spot."


    Rias pointed his fingers to small gs standing 100 meters ago from them. He said, "Those gs are the boundary of our base. Every time a team ventures inside they will carry such gs and when they clear up some area. These gs will be buried in thend. They are a set of small arrays which together form a greater array. No one may venture out for over 3 hours a day. Dark energy can corrupt people."


    You Xi Wang nodded. Rias spoke again, "I will give you a mapter, right now I need to see how much pressure you can handle. Okay? Go you have an hour, hunt as much as you can."


    These words had just dropped and You Xi Wang rushed forward. His fists were shining with a golden light. The boy was fast and took out his spirit weapons. He had just crossed the barrier threshold and a ck figure charged at him. His fistsnded on the ck figure. It was difficult to discern the shape of the figure, so You Xi Wang infused spiritual energy in his eyes.


    The dark fog in the environment cleared. In front of You Xi Wang stood an arachnid. The boy quickly took out his dagger and charged. The fight did notst long, but the battle was just starting. You Xi Wang used all his means except for his martial spirit.


    His movements were all under the scrutiny of Rias. The veteran was shocked to see a teenager grinding dark creatures with such ease and skill. In an hour You Xi Wang had dealt with over 50 beasts, the average time taken per beast was one minute and few seconds. Guess how big of a battle maniac he was. His actions were all cruel. At a point, he even stabbed his spear up a beast''s ass.


    Then next moment he used a beast to fend off a sneak attack by leading the foe into it. This was what Rias wanted from him. If he was soft-hearted or mushy, then despite the rmendation of suprememanding officer Victoria, he would have thrown the kid back on a ship heading home.


    You Xi Wang did not stop until Rias called him back. He patted his shoulder and said, "You are good, kid. Let''s go back, I will tell you other things on the way back."


    The boy nodded and took up the driving position again. This time Rias did not navigate, You Xi Wang had memorized the whole way from where he came in one time only. The reason was simple. Here there were no roads. Only shortest and smoothest pass. They were navigated through with the help ofndmarks.


    Thesendmarks were weird cliffs, mounds, and craters. They all had a human element about them. Yes, in the past the warring forces left them as signboards. They all stood out of the natural harmony because the humans manipted with them.


    Back at the settlement, You Xi Wang and Rais walked back to the Command Center. Rias had the boy follow him to his own office and there he was given a map, a rule book, and a list of things he was supposed to do when he was not venturing.


    Rias asked, "Do you have questions?"


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Sir, do we not get to go to the ancient ruins here?"


    Rias smiled as he replied, "The ancient ruins you speak about are the ces the human experts settled back in the days. They started their own sects. The moon was like a training field for those experts. When the lost day took ce they activated many defensive means in the sects but nothing could stop the massacre. The thing is that the defense is still going strong. So wait before you get your chance to look for a fortune. Go take a rest, you will be on callter."


    You Xi Wang saluted and left the room.


    As soon as he left, Maddison walked in to meet Rias. She asked, "How was it?"


    Rias saluted as he replied, "50 beasts in a minute. I cannot exin to you how cruel he was, boss. Also, he now knows the way to the first Beta sector. A good seed. I have Igor leading him for a week. Do you think it is okay?"


    Maddison nodded and said, "Good, I was thinking whom to allocate him to. Good job."


    ...


    While the two were talking with such a fitness. You Xi Wang was dreaded to see his squad members who just returned from their scouting drill. The boy could do nothing but only sympathize with them. These dark beasts were difficult to deal with. His phantom team was still the better one, as they all just meditated.


    You Xi Wang also sat down in meditation. He wanted to enhance his cultivation as he waited for an opportunity to explore the ancient ruins.

 Chapter 255: Clearance Monster.

    Chapter 255: Clearance Monster.


    You Xi Wang was assigned to a squad responsible for the western side. Some of his friends did were in the same squad as him, but the rest were scattered among the other squads based on their skills and capabilities. The allotment was done by aputerized system. This way the most optimum squads were prepared.


    Yesterday he went out with the Deputy Commander, today he was assigned to a squad led by an old major. The person was said to be easygoing and the most experienced officer. He has beenmissioned here for almost two decades now. Never once did he go back to Metropia. You Xi Wang walked over to the office of the old major wearing his battle suit with an insignia sticking to his lower chest.


    He knocked on the door, a voice came out, "Come in."


    The boy walked in, turned to his left using his heels, and saluted the man as he said, "Captain You Xi Wang, reporting, sir."


    The old man raised his head to nce at the youngster in front of him and said, "Wee to Iron Squad."


    You Xi Wang expressed his thanks. The old man spoke with a thoughtful expression, "So what do you want to do?"


    You Xi Wang confused, he asked, "I do not understand, sir."


    The old man said, "Would you like to be a captain on the front lines? Or stay here at the base to oversee the helping staff?"


    The boy replied, "Frontlines, sir."


    The old man said, "I will allow five people to follow you. Your task is to ensure their safety and they venture out. If you fail, then you guard the barracks. Okay?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Sir, yes, Sir."


    The old man nodded as he spoke, "Good,e with me. It is actually time to send out the first teams today."


    A team has 5 people, a squad has 45 people. A major overlooks 4 captains. While amander overlooks 4 majors and 2 deputy majors. Every squad has 40 front-line soldiers and 5 on-base soldiers. The difference between the two is just as the name suggests. Though, everything is up for a change. People need rest, so the on-base team will be substituted regrly.


    You Xi Wang followed the old man to the Squad hall, a ce where the people of a squad will gather every morning before deployment. People were surprised to see a teenager, looking like a sunny boy following the old major. The other 3 captains saluted the Major. The old man nodded and said, "This is You Xi Wang, a captain assigned to our team. Cutting to the chase, I will assign five members to You Xi Wang. The other five will take a rest today. After his performance, I will allow him to lead the other half of the team. Question?"


    The captains shook their heads. They had no objection. The major nodded and selected five members from a vacant team. He asked, "Any objections?"


    One soldier spoke, "Report."


    The old man nodded, signaling him to speak. The soldier looked to be at the peak of his youth. he spoke with an unabashed disdainful expression on his face, "Do we have to follow a kid now, sir? How did he even get the qualification of a captain?"


    The old man did not reply, he nced at You Xi Wang and said, "You can answer him yourself."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and the next moment he appeared in front of the soldier. Before the soldier could react, he felt cold against his neck. He was scared pale. A fiery red dagger rested against his neck. He looked at the sunny teenager in front of him. You Xi Wang said, "Do you now know how I got my qualification to be a captain? I eat five like you for breakfast and I don''t spit out bones."


    Then he nced at the rest of the team and asked with a scorn on his face, "Anyone else, who would like to question my authority?"


    The people shook their heads. The other three captains nodded along with the old major. This kid was not only a face. He was a sharp sword touch his edge and it will cut. You Xi Wang turned towards the old major and said, "Sir, can I take the first slot? I want to see what my team is made of."


    The old major scratched his chin and said, "You can go to zone C. It is a Beta spot but recently there have been no patrols and clearance visits there. You will leave in 10 minutes. All the best."


    You Xi Wang saluted the man and turned to his team. His aura changed, if he was a good boy in front of his superiors then he was a devil to his juniors. He said, "You heard the Major. Get your ass moving and load up. You have five minutes."


    One guy said, "But the major said ten minutes."


    You Xi Wang smiled coldly, "10 minutes to leave. To get ready, you get five minutes. Now it is 4 minutes." his cold voice sent chills down their spines. They immediately rushed to get loaded. One captain came forward and said, "Hello, My name is Ayaka, nice to have you here."


    You Xi Wang returned to his sunny expression and shook hands with the man. He replied, "Hello, I am You Xi Wang, I will be in your care in the future." The other two captains also introduced themselves.


    One of them was called David, the other was called Kevin. They were all almost the same age, 30-35 years old. You Xi Wang chatted with them in his calm temperament. When suddenly David asked, "Captain Xi Wang, don''t you need to suit up?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and his spirit energy ran through his battle suit. Immediately the space arrays engraved on the suit opened and the weapons came out. The scene was very much like a movie. Some weapons circling the boy. Then after ten seconds You Xi Wang took them all back inside his suit.


    The other three were shocked. Kevin asked, "How do you do that? I don''t remember any of the army battle suits have space arrays engraved on them."


    You Xi Wang replied, "I am an array master, so I customized my battle suit." he knew that this suit was easy to use and the captains all liked it so he took the initiative, "How about I make one for you all when I am on rotation?"


    The other three were surprised and then nodded. This kid sure knew how to make it to the good books. Just when the four people were indulged in small talks. You Xi Wang sensed his old Holo-phone buzz. The four minutes were up. He saw his team was standing behind him, all suited. He nodded at them.


    The boy did not let anyone use the new holo phone and other equipment until they did not get the chance to venture out alone. Better equipment will make the others dissatisfied. So the old ones were still used. After bidding farewell to the three captains. The boy led his team to the vehicle bay. Should his badge to the wall-mounted scanner near the vehicle,pleted the undertaking of the vehicle, and went out with his team.


    He got to know that the teammates were called, Shui-sniper and medic, Mark-brawler, Dixon-swordsman, Anton-rifleman, and Milo-spirit beastmaster.


    The profession of a beastmaster was a supportive one. They would use the tamed beasts to fight and support their team. The rest were the same. Mark drove the vehicle to zone C. They all came off the vehicle and You Xi Wang said, "Take a knee."


    The five people kneeled on one knee. You Xi Wang said, "I am good at all the posts and I also have a spirit beast. Maya,e out." from his shadow a beautiful white silhouette emerged. She came near him and rubbed her head to his waist. Yeah, she has grown up and did not get toe out of the shadow for two days now.


    Milo spoke in surprise, "Snow Hound? but how could it live in the shadows?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and told them of Maya''s origin. He said, "I will leave her to protect Shui. You guys operate ording to the standard tactics of a five-man team. I will provide support and recement for anyone tired. Is that okay?"


    The people nodded. Mark and You Xi Wang stepped inside the barrier first. After they pushed back the beasts, the rest of the team came in. It was just like attracting attention to themselves so that the rest of the team could make swift and clear moves. Throughout the raid, You Xi Wang was providing support and relief to the tired members. He saved Mark from imminent death at least seven times.


    The three hours raid ended. The team came back from the barrier. You Xi Wang said, "It will take a week at this rate to clear the first five meters. This is too slow."


    His words shocked the teammates. They did not know that the old major was also listening to all this from a distance. He smiled as he said to Rias beside him, "Deputy Commander, you gave me a clearance monster."


    The two peopleughed. You Xi Wang and his team have killed 400 beasts in three hours. This was an all-time high. If this kid is left alone, he will clear a whole spot in a month. That is what they need. Someone who is not afraid of challenges. You Xi Wang was a heaven-sent for them.

 Chapter 256: Reliable Maestro.

    Chapter 256: Reliable Maestro.


    After a short break to catch up their breaths You Xi Wang and the team came back to the Epoch Base. The boy said, "You guys go rest. I will go and submit the report to the Major."


    The five people nodded and they parted. You Xi Wang had something bigger on his mind. He walked quickly to the Major''s office.


    ...


    A private was standing guard at the door of themand center. He saluted to the visiting officer and let him pass after he asked the superiors inside. The visiting officer walked inside, to see Maddison, Rias, and another deputymander standing there. He saluted them, Deputy Commander Rias asked, "Captian You Xi Wang, what brings you here?"


    The visiting officer was You Xi Wang, he made a report to the old Major and asked him if he can visit themand center and talk to the superiors about something. In the military, you need permission to bypass authorities. The old major asked him what was the matter? The boy truthfully revealed the new equipment he had on him. The old man was shocked to see these gadgets. He realized that You Xi Wang probably wanted to show them to the higher-ups so that they can buy some for the forces.


    Old Major was a respectable man, he did not want to undermine You Xi Wang and sent him forward on his own. You Xi Wang heard Rias''s question and said, "I would like to suggest something for the betterment of the Warring Forces, Sir."


    The three people were surprised, after all, what suggestion could this young boy make. He has been here for only two days. Maddison spoke with a chuckle, "So, the maestro is ready to flex his skills?"


    You Xi Wang just smiled at her. The other two people exchanged a nce. Maddison sensed their confusion and said, "You Xi Wang is my student in Silica City Academy. He is the strongest and the smartest kid under my wing. Also, Council Elder Alester Book is his master. So, you can imagine his talent. This guy and his team have faced, 9 primal soul dark dwellers. Also, 600 demon minions and 1 demonmander in the First Battle fest."


    The reason she flexed so much about You Xi Wang was so that these two deputies of her take him seriously. People at higher ranks tend to look down on the newbies. She asked again, "Speak freely, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang nodded to her and took out his tech gadgets. Everything was ced on the table in front of them neatly. He said, "The equipment you see, is something I customized for my squad, the 40 people I came here with all have this equipment. The current equipment we use is too outdated. It hinders the clearance rate. The equipment I have here can support the forces better and it can enhance the clearance rate by ten percent instantly. So I suggest for the warring forces to ce an order for one set of these pieces of equipment."


    The second Deputy Commander asked, "How much is the price for one set?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "10 Gold credits plus 5 gold credits making charges."


    The deputy asked, "Why stated them differently?"


    You Xi Wang said, "10 gold credits is for the raw materials. If the council can arrange them at a cheaper price, then the price will reduce, as for the making charges I mentioned. It is a fixed price. The workers need to eat."


    Maddison interrupted, "Brat, are you trying to make a profit out of it?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Teacher you me me wrongly. The price is just correct with the quality and efficiency of the product."


    Maddison nodded. She said, "Give us some time to think and discuss it. I will contact Elder Victoria regarding this. She will make the final decision. You can go now."


    You Xi Wang hesitated, he said, "Commander, can I see Yuki?"


    Maddison shook her head with a faint smile, "Go, your rooms are next to each other, but don''t cross the bounds and stain my name."


    You Xi Wang gave her a sunny smile and said, "You are the best teacher ever." then he rushed out of themand center. The reason why he wanted to meet Yuki was to check how the others are. His original team was together and he was the only one alone, plus he missed Yuki.


    He called her on the holo-phone. It was possible to contact someone on the base. But not outside, like Metropia and out in the field. Dark energy was a pain not for nothing. Yuki picked up the call and replied in a sweet voice, "Hello my love. Howe you have time to call me?"


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head as he replied, "Sorry baby, been busy here. Can we meet? Are you free?"


    Yuki smiled sweetly, she said, "You can meet me always. I am about to have a meal. Why don''t youe to the cafeteria?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and headed to the cafeteria. The ce was always filled with someone who wanted to eat something. The forces and teams were going out on raids constantly. So as cultivators they needed to eat to refill energy too. At the moment You Xi Wang entered the cafeteria he spotted Yuki and the others but his face turned cold in an instant.


    He saw a captain rank officer, talking to Yuki. It would have been fine if Yuki did not have a look of disgust on her face. You Xi Wang would not tolerate someone messing up with his girl at all. The people saw himing and parted the way, he was a captain as well.


    Some voices fell in his ears as he neared the team. "Humph, you think you are pretty so that you can reject my pursuit. Remember this I am your Captain. You have to obey me or you can stay here in the base toplete cleaning duties."


    You Xi Wang raised an eyebrow and he spoke in a cold voice, "I did not know, someone had the guts to have such a Monarchial attitude here?" his words attracted the young man. Before he could say anything You Xi Wang arrived next to Yuki and took a hold of her waist. He said, "So, are you trying to force my fiancee?"


    The man''s face changed, he did not know that Yuki had a boyfriend. He did not nce at You Xi Wang''s chest and held his neck tight as he said, "Boy, you better let go of any ideas about m..."


    Before he could evenplete his words, his neck was squeezed by You Xi Wang. The maestro was pissed off and did not hold back his strength. His grip made the man loosen his grip. You Xi Wang spoke, "Yu attacked me first, now in self-defense, I can break you, both in body and spirit. How about it? Captain ball face. Or better I can just kick your nuts and you will give up on every girl in the world."


    His cold voice scared the captain. He did not want to be heated in front of so many of his subordinates. Killing and crippling were taboo, but fighting was normal. A lot of people would challenge others daily. So this was nothing out of the ce.


    What was surprising was You Xi Wang''s aura that surprised them. The boy let out his primal soul level cultivation pressure. Lightning started to form on his arm. He said, "Do you want to challenge me?"


    The opponent shook his head. He half stepped Primal Soul realm. He can not fight against a full-fledged primal soul realm person. And someone like You Xi Wang, who was radiating the unabashed killing intent, will definitely kill him in the challenge ring.


    The challenge ring has one rule only, the winner is the ruler. If You Xi Wang killed him after throwing out a death match at his face. Nobody will take any action against him. Yuki said, "Xi Wang, let him go."


    You Xi Wang took his grip back, the man started panting. The maestro spoke, "First, I will report your forceful behavior to the superiors. Second, If you harbor any ill feelings towards me. I wee you, but if you used any underhanded means. I will kill you in front of everyone without caring about the rules."


    The man was pale in the face. You Xi Wang spoke, "I will have my friends report to my team. Also, leave here, if you don''t want to die." his cold voice made the guy shudder, he immediately ran away.


    You Xi Wang asked Yuki about the whole matter and then reported it to the old major, Deputy Commander Rias. In half an hour the used was relieved of his duties and was sent back to Metropia. The military did not need any jerks and weight-pushing scums.


    This was how You Xi Wang became a reliable guy in the whole base.

 Chapter 257: Sudden Crisis.

    Chapter 257: Sudden Crisis.


    After dealing with the so-called captain, You Xi Wang made aint against him with the deputymander. He also asked for the other four to be ced in his team. Which was also agreed upon by the higher up. Deputy Commander knew how good You Xi Wang was at handling his new team so if he is given a team he knows more his efficiency wille into y.


    Finally, after the meal, everyone returned to rest while You Xi Wang and Yuki got some time along. Usually the cold demoness Yuki was like a tamed cat in You Xi Wang''s presence while the boy would also turn into a body pillow for her. They hugged each other as they messed with each other. Suddenly You Xi Wang''smunicator went off.


    "Third-grade alert. All teams report to the squad hall. Third-grade alert/ All teams report to the squad hall."


    The boy pressed a screen and said, "Captain You Xi Wang, acknowledges. On the way." he stood up sorted out his clothes, and rushed to the squad hall with Yuki and the other three. He arrived in tandem with the other 3 captains. They exchanged a nod, took their positions in front of the objective table.


    Old Major walked in and hollered, "<strong>FUCKING SOUTHERN SQUAD.</strong>"


    The first captain asked, "Boss, calm down. What happened?"


    The old man red at him and said in rage, "These ignorant southern bitches. Their captain used a spirit bomb near a gamma spot parameter. The barrier gs blew up and now a swarm is pouring in. 30 minutes and it will swallow us. They asked for backup. Fucking retards."


    You Xi Wang quickly used the table in front of him, a holographic map was projected from it. The old major quickly adjusted the map to disy the targeted area. A swarm of insects could be seen five kilometers ahead of the barrier array gs. The old man said, "I don''t know who will do it, how you will do it. But I assure you one thing when you do it. You are cleared to go to the southern squad base and beat the shit out of them."


    The three captains looked at each other, dealing with a swarm was very difficult. You Xi Wang turned to his team. Fenny blinked at him in assurance. He said to the old man, "Sir, my team will take charge of this. We leave right now."


    The old man nodded to him. You Xi Wang said, "Only five of us will go. We will deal with it at a better speed" then he turned to his team and they all rushed out.


    He quickly left the squad hall and the old man spat to the three experienced captains, "You guys still call yourself, Veterans? If you had only half the courage he has... humph." with the snort he left the squad hall.


    ...


    You Xi Wang and the four were riding on the lev-buggy. An sighed, "Finally a team adventure."


    The others gazed at him in surprise, they never expected An to say something like that. They all startedughing. Unaware that all this is being watched by several high-level people back in themand center.


    Other than themander and the deputies, all the majors were here as well. The old major at this moment had his fists balled. The scene of five kidsughing as nothing happened made them all ashamed. Suddenly, they heard Maddison chuckle.


    They all turned heads, only to find thedy shaking her head. She picked up a from her side and spoke, "Captain You Xi Wang, what is the status report, over."


    On the screen You Xi Wang suddenly fell quiet he coughed and replied using hismunicator, "We are headed to the eruption spot,mander, over."


    Maddison asked back, "What is the n of action, over."


    The boy replied with a calm tone, "Ballet in the swarm, AOE style, over."


    Maddison nodded and said, "Good, we will be watching you, Over and Out."


    On the screen, the kids erupted inughter again as Fenny said, "Teacher Maddi sounds so serious. I doubted her of having a twin."


    Maddison held her forehead in her palm, she said, "These brats."


    ...


    On the buggy, the captain exhaled heavily and the atmosphere turned solemn. The boy said, "Everyone knows how to go AOE?"


    Neo replied first, "I make small barriers."


    The other three said, "We make it rain in the barriers." in unison.


    You Xi Wang nodded, "By the time we reach the spot, the swarm would be spread further. Neo, you make the barriers. The rest of you try to hold it back, I will run along and ce the barrier gs. This is the first goal. Second, we push these fucker back to the hell hole they came from. For that, I n to use martial spirit."


    Fenny replied after some thought, "It can work but you cannot rush in alone. Wait till we catch up from behind hold the spot. Cool?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, Yuki said, "Use your mouth." the boy sighed, "Yes, yes, I promise."


    ...


    Soon they reached near the spot and a lot of creepy sounds were heard. They spotted some soldiers trying to fight off. You Xi Wang got off the buggy and said, "I am going on ahead. All the best guys."


    The other four nodded and they also got off the vehicle. Neo stepped forward, stomped on the ground as his hands made a seal, he spoke, "Earth Barriers."


    Thend beneath their feet shook, soon a barrier started to form up. It was like a wall, trailing along the area where the bugs swarmed. These bugs were crawler types. So it will take them quite a few minutes to climb the 30 feet high wall.


    Fenny, Yuki, An, and Neo climbed up the wall with the help of earthendder on the side of it. The chubby cutie sighed, "Talk about high level pest control."


    Yuki chuckled, An said, "Girlie, be serious." fenny became obedient. They even did a stone paper scissors. The red haired boy won, he smirked as he took out a lev board. This was a gift from Elfhiem, he asked Fenny to change it a little. Now as long as the board is provided spirit energy, it can levitate at any height the rider wants.


    He took the board a few hundred feet ahead, spread his hands wide open and said, "Ember rain." his words dropped, following it ember sparks started to fly in the sky, all flying out from his body. It was as if he was a torch, and sparks were flying off of him.


    Fenny sighed, "See this show off, no wonder thedies in the squad can''t wait to eat him."


    Yuki smiled as she shook her head.


    ...


    In themand center, a southern major spat, "Is this a joke?"


    The old major wanted to rebuke him but Maddison spoke first, "I would like it if you don''t speak whether something is a joke or not, Major Alexis." her cold voice made the guy quite.


    Soon every one stood surprised, The sparks fell, covering one fourth of the swarm. As soon as the sparks touched the bugs, they burned. It was as if a pond of fire suddenly lit up. Everybody in the Command Center was surprised at this. Fenny look down the wall and yelled at Neo, who stood below, "Kitty Boy, five hundred meter ahead!!!"


    Neo gave her an OK signal, and anotheryer earth wall was constructed. It was like U shaped wall, but now the crest was lessened. The two girls ran forward to make the next attack.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was running along the wall as he nted barrier gs behind him. He controlled his spirit energy and opened up a hold in the wall. He has a five elemental body remember. Before any bugs could crawl out he let out a arrow of spirit energy. It was his bow and arrow intent. The spirit arrow cleared a path for him as he ran inside closing the opening behind him. The boy had ayer of sword intent covering his body as he ran, so the bugs were pacified.


    These bugs had a very creepy look, as if roaches with slim on their bodies. This would make anyone sick, as the gs were being buried as You Xi Wang ran, the bugs were replused,


    ...


    While he was running, Yuki was using An''s lev board to step in the sky, she said, "tide of death." as soon as she spoke coldly. A high tide erupted from her body, soon it wiped out bugs from another one fourth area of the wall. Now they had two fourth or half of the region under control.


    Fenny took the lev board from her when Yuki returned. Neo made the thrid wall, as the ret move forwards. Fenny caught a nce of You Xi Wang fighting in the middle of the swarm, with his spear and sword. She spoke, "Lightning shower."


    The next second, streaks of lighting started to shake in her hands. She moved them as if a music conductor. Next moment, lightning fell from the sky. Everywhere itnded it left a huge crater. The bugs were sted into nothing.


    ...


    Inside themand Center, even a breath was audible. Someone said, "Who are these guys?" in surprise.


    Maddison Midnight replied, "Phantoms. My strongest students."


    Although the situation has not yet beenpleted solved. These kids did control the outbreak which was much needed. So, it was okay to boast about them.

 Chapter 258: Gena.

    Chapter 258: Gena.


    The people inside themand center were all shocked, they could not digest how these kids at the peak core formation realm deal this much damage. Maddison did not bother to tell them. The deputymander asked, "Are they releasing the umted spirit energy?"


    His question provoked the old people and a discussion started. They all started toe up with their own spection, Maddison held her forehead and shouted, "SHUT UP."


    The room fell silent, Commander was a scary figure. Maddison had a lot of records under her belt and her power was not to be overlooked. She said, "Spiritual energy interaction. They are changing the nature of spiritual energy by making it interact with their own. The world array creates a vague environment here and so they are exploiting it to their advantage. Now you can process this and shut up. I need to watch them fight."


    Without revealing too much of her students'' cards she just diffused the chaos and focused on the screen in front of her.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was making his way to the next boundary g. He used his sword intent clear up the way. He moved very fast using his shadow skip. The boy was like a flicker. The sword intent radiated by him killed the bugs around him in a radius of five feet. He operated as if he was a machine. Shadow skip, kill the bugs, stab a small boundary g in the ground, next spot.


    The system spoke, [Master, Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju would be proud of you.]


    You Xi Wang could not help butugh at this, what he was doing was nothing short of the Teleportation Jutsu, he saw in an anime back on the earth. He replied to the system, ''Should I write a manga. Like, let there be Otaku culture.''


    The system replied, [Master, your genius is sometimes frightening.]


    You Xi Wang replied in a humble tone, ''I am a man of culture, you glorify me.''


    The two started to chat in the meenguage from the earth. The boy manipted the earth element, opened a door in the wall, came out of the barrier, and ran to the nearest boundary g area to connect the barrier andplete the primary objective. It took him five minutes to reach the ce, just as he was about to close the barrier he saw two people in the bug swarm.


    He did not expect anyone to be here and was surprised. The two people seemed to be struggling, but they were surrounded by a lot of bugs. You Xi Wang ced thest g and charged through to save them. The two men were surprised when they saw the bugs being killed. Looking around their eyesnded on a boy who was walking towards them with his sword dancing constantly.


    Closing the barrier meant that the concentration of the bugs will increase a lot as well. So, You Xi Wang had to dance with his sword. The killing spree only brought them a momentary relief. The two-man regrouped with him as said, "Thank you foring, Captain."


    They recognized the epaulets on his shoulders. The boy was superior and took pain to save them. You Xi Wang asked, "What is the situation? Why did you not evacuate with the rest of your team?"


    The two people were covered in various wounds and scratches. The bugs would eat human flesh slowly. Even at this moment, they were fighting against the swarm as they talked. After some hesitation, the man with an assault rifle said, "Our captain ordered us to hold the fort as he went to call for backup."


    You Xi Wang snorted as he spat, "COWARD." calming his disgust he asked, "Where is the rest of your team?"


    The man answered, "Two died, one is lost in the swarm. We don''t know what to do, sir." by the end of the sentence his voice started to break up. You Xi Wang said sternly, "You back. I will try to see if I can find yourrade. Leave."


    The two men did not hesitate, in such a swarm a senior officer rescued them and even promised to look for their teammate. This was good enough for them. With You Xi Wang''s support, the two people were sent out.


    ...


    Maddison saw all this in themand center, knowing You Xi Wang''s temperament she decided not to issue any orders to him. She picked up themunicator and said, "Phantom two, Come in. Do you copy?"


    Fenny immediately responded, "Go for Phantom Two, over."


    Themander spoke, "You are assigned to clean up the swarmed area and take back the initial territory."


    Fenny did not respond for a few seconds then said, "Task received,mencing operation, over and out." her cold voice was enough to tell Maddison that she was pissed at her but Fenny would never disrespect her. She was angry because the team figured out that You Xi Wang must have been sent to do something alone.


    ...


    Fenny put down themunicator, as she spoke, "You all have ten minutes. I want this thing cleared and aid Xi Wang. Get it?"


    The other three replied, "HOO-AH"


    With a war cry, the rampage began. Spirit spells, weapons, bombs, and highly destructive martial arts started to erupt. They were all fighting inside the barrier set by You Xi Wang. Fenny''smand was simple, create waves and let them push back the swarm. The waves were attacks used together to create waves, kill bugs while Fenny deployed some drones behind them in a line. They all carried the barrier gs and would close the path as the team moved forward.


    ...


    Meanwhile, You Xi Wang was searching for the third person. He used his soul sense, the system detected some traces of the third member and led the boy to the deeper regions as they ughtered the bugs.


    Inside his soul sense, he saw a scene that made You Xi Wang enraged. The third member was a girl, at this moment the bugs were ripping off her battle suit and except for a few scratches, she looked fine. She was lying down on the ground, seemingly unconscious. You Xi Wang asked the system, ''Can you figure out what they are trying to do?''


    The system replied, [They are trying toy their eggs inside the girl, the eggs will hatch and the girl will be eaten from inside out.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Are you sure?'' his eyes widened in shock. These bugs were intelligent.


    The system said, [No shit genius, they want to savor the girl''s meat for her physique. Look properly, see is that girl, not Gena?]

 Chapter 259: Wrath.

    Chapter 259: Wrath.


    Gena was a friend, whom You Xi Wang cared for a lot. She would talk to him only and was a gentle-hearted person. Watching her in this condition his rage triggered. His hands stopped, his eyes closed. The bugs started to swarm over his body.


    ...


    In themand center, everyone was panicked at this scene. Maddison was about to give orders to Fenny, but just as she picked up hermunicator. The screen shed with a golden light. They were able to watch You Xi Wang from the micro camera inside Gena''s suit.


    ...


    You Xi Wang''s body lit up and the bugs vaporized. When the bug shell added away the boy came in view. His body was now covered with golden armor, radiating strong pressure making it difficult for the bugs to crawl over. His eyes flickered with Golden sparks.


    He mumbled, "I will erase these bugs." using mind sense. He asked Maya to tell the rest of the phantoms to retreat.


    ...


    Fenny was told by Snowke, "Sister Fenny, Maya asked us to retreat." the chubby girl was stunned but the chain ofmand was to be followed strictly. Shemanded to the other three, "Retreat."


    The three people created quickly and they retreated outside. Yuki asked the moment they came out, "What happened?"


    Fenny replied, "Xi Wang ryed via Maya and Snowke."


    Neo said, "Could it be that he came out?"


    An shook his head, "He would havee to us if that was the case. Girl, call themand center and ask the status." the ''girl'' in his mouth was Fenny.


    Fenny picked up themunicator, after a slight hesitation, she said, "No need to ask them. They might not know as well let''s go to the location where You Xi Wang entered from." her words were reasonable. The four people hurried over to the location where You Xi Wang went inside the barrier from.


    ...


    While in themand center, Maddison spoke, "I want the person responsible for this situation in front of me." her tone was cold but her eyes were locked onto the screen that showed Gena lying down on the ground unconscious, as the bugs crawled over her.


    She shifted her gaze to You Xi Wang on a screen and was shocked.


    ...


    The boy held his spear, took a deep breath he let loose unrestrained spear intent, and swung his spear. His steps moved it was as if a dance. The five elements in the spirit energy started to interact with him. Slowly the dance picked up the pace and the balls of five elements formed around him. Yet he did not stop, the spear moved and along with it followed the spirit energy.


    After two minutes five vague figures formed around him. These figures looked like dragons. Every senior officer who watched this scene was stunned. What shocked them, even more, was the five dragons all represented the five elements yet this teenager alone did this. He was the legendary five elemental spirit root.


    At this moment You Xi Wang channeled all his rage to the tip of his spear and let the five dragons rampage all around him. The bug swarm was being cleared. The boy advanced to ward Gena, he danced around her. Miraculously, the five dragons converged and they formed a golden dragon. The golden dragon was only as big as three feet but the pressure it gave off was way too strong. The bugs in a radius of 100 meters turned to squash as the dragon formed.


    The spear in You Xi Wang''s hand trembled. Inside the spear, the spirit was that of a golden dragon too. Yet the all attribute spirit energy was stronger than it. This made the dragon spirit agitated You Xi Wang stroked the spear and it fell silent. The golden armored boy walked up to the green-haired girl. He spoke in his mind, ''System, find me the ce these bugs originate.''


    The system replied, [Five kilometers ahead.]


    You Xi Wang gazed at Gena and closed his eyes. Soon the golden dragon roared, the impact of the roar killed all the bugs in 1 kilometer. Then it flew towards the core. The system spat, [FUCK, don''t tell you are going to detonate that dragon? Are you nuts fucker a rice grain can screw over thendmass of hundred meters this thing will kill us all.]


    You Xi Wang did not reply he picked up Gena and channeled some of the earth energy spirit energy inside her over-drafted body. He was very patient and calm in his actions, on the other hand, the dragon reached the core, it burst into sparkles as a firecracker would. Above the origin portal of the bugs floated a blob of golden light as big as a fist while the sparkles spread around all of the rest of the Gamma Spot.


    You Xi Wang spoke after picking up hismunicator, "Commander, if anyone else is in the surrounding of the gamma spot, ask them to retreat. I will not be responsible for the, over and out."


    ...


    Maddison replied, "You are cleared to take action Captain. Over and out." then she turned to the major of the western region and asked, "Where is the person responsible for this?"


    They all paled, the person responsible was a big name, but thew of the army was clear and all were equal in front of it. Helpless, they could only call the person over.


    ...


    The boy turned around with Gena in his arms. What followed was an explosion. This explosion then resonated with the seeds of all spirit energy, disturbing their bnce. It set off a chain of explosions.


    <strong>BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...</strong>


    Countless explosions shook thends. The shockwaves were so huge, that even in themand center the people felt tremors. They were all shocked and terrified. A teenager went in deep, rescued an almost dead soldier, and the biggest, he eradicated a whole fifteen kilometer of bug swarm including the origin spot.


    The ce was as if a dust storm urred. You Xi Wang was now already outside the barrier. He saw his teammates and the two soldiers from earlier. Yuki ran up to him but stopped when she saw him carrying Gena. Before she could turn into a jar of vinegar(a term for jealous women) the boy said, "Neo, you take them all to the infirmary. I will shadow skip with Yuki."


    He first handed over the unconscious Gena to his friend and then held onto Yuki''s wrist. Their spiritpanions were capable of shadow skipping and so they did. It took them fifteen minutes to reach the base. Then five minutes more to reach themand center.


    You Xi Wang asked Yuki to wait outside as he marched inside. He saluted Maddison and said, "The task has been aplished, Commander."


    Maddison returned, "Good job, captain."


    You Xi Wang asked, "May I ask how the higher-ups are going to deal with the person responsible?"


    Maddison was about to reply when the western region captain, who was the culprit spoke up in a defiant tone, "Mistakes happen, why do you make the matter so big?"


    Maddison snorted, "Captain You Xi Wang, you are given a free rein on how to punish this guy, Military rule, the person who clears up someone else''s mess, is allowed to deal with it."


    You Xi Wang did not need much convincing, his figure shed and appeared next to the culprit. He ced his palm on the opponent''s chest and grunted. This sealed the spirit energy inside the man''s body.


    What he did was block all the meridians in the viin''s body.


    Then followed a kick to the jaw, dislocating it. You Xi Wang said, "Not able to realize your mistakes, is your ipetence, Warring forces doesn''t raise freeloaders."


    The defiant fell on the ground and was unable to stand up. The kick was strong. A dagger shed and You Xi Wang cleared of his left hand as he said, "Used vtile weapons for fun. Left therades to die. Warring forces do not need deserters."


    The punishment continued while the person could not even scream and only muffled wails sounded. The high-ranking officers were shocked to see the cruel methods. You Xi Wang gave the man a hundred cuts before the other party died. The pain was only 30% of that of the bugs.


    He saluted Maddison and walked out. Themander spoke, "Get his body restored and You Xi Wang is now given his own squad. The exploration squad. He reports to me directly. His team squad will be responsible for clearance as well. Understood?"


    The whole room echoed with the high rankers shouting together. "<strong>YES,</strong> <strong>SIR.</strong>"


    They were all shaken by the heavy hand You Xi Wang dealt with the person responsible for this. They all checked with the southern region forces about his background. The oue shocked them. They did not expect such a genius toe over to this barren ce. They could not bear the wrath of people behind You Xi Wang, while his background eased them as well. The people who scared them also reassured them that You Xi Wang will never cross the line otherwise he might also be subjected to the wrath of those backing him.


    This background was a two-edged sword. A sword that does not allow any mistakes or your head will roll.

 Chapter 260: Swings.

    Chapter 260: Swings.


    Unaware of the decisions taken by Maddison, You xi Wang came out of the room, held Yuki''s jade hand, and walked to the infirmary. The girl did not ask anything except, "Are you okay?"


    You Xi Wang nodded as he continued to lead her by her hand. Yuki walked closer to his ear and whispered, "Can you help me in breaking through the primal soul realm?"


    You Xi Wang nced at her and smiled, "With pleasure my love."


    Yuki looked around and pecked his lips gently. The two then walked forward to the infirmary. Outside the infirmary gate, he found his three friends. He asked, "How is the situation of the people?"


    An spoke, "The two males are fine but Gena is under critical care unit. To keep the bugs away she ate a boosting pill. Her body is now severely over-drafted but apart from this everything is fine. Don''t worry much they ced her inside the critical care unit to take care of her better."


    Fenny said, "Why did you rush in. alone?"


    You Xi Wang said, "I was cing the final barrier g when I saw the two males fighting and surviving. They told me that one of their teammates was lost in the swarm. I made them retreat and walked forward, to be honest, I did not know how deep inside I was in. The ck swarm blinded the scene perception. I am sorry."


    Fenny said, "If not for the sake of saving a life. I would have smacked your guts out of your brains Xiao Wang. What would we say to everyone back at home if something wrong happened to you, Bitch." although she was smiling on the outside, on the inside she was ferocious.


    You Xi Wang listened to her curses and scolding with his head down. Only after Yuki''s intervention was he spared. The boy was given the day off along with Yuki. So the two set up a seclusion camp inside You Xi Wang''s room.


    ...


    The two people were sitting on the floor with legs crossed, facing each other. The girl had her eyes closed and cultivated ording to her cultivation method while the boy was sitting in meditation. He had a sound istion array ced inside from preventing the disturbance. The spirit energy was thin on the moon so he had spirit stones scattered around Yuki.


    He was there only to guard her. The girl has been preparing for this advancement and was not ready to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop. Unlike most of the people who don''t mind stepping into the primal soul realm in two steps. Yuki aimed to do it in one step.


    The spiritual energy revolved around her body and concentrated inside her soul sea. She did not have a system to help her so she was on her own. Outside You Xi Wang kept order. Time flicked by like a gust of wind. Seven hours passed and Yuki was now covered in sweat all over her body. The center of her brows bulged slightly but You Xi Wang did not stop her.


    Cultivation was a thing where you tread the steep slope on your own. If it is supported by someone else, then one day you will stumble and the fall will break you in both body and soul. Suddenly the temperature started to fall inside the room. Some snowkes condensed. A dull <em>THUMP</em> sounded from Yuki''s body.


    You Xi Wang smiled as he opened his eyes. After a few minutes Yuki opened her eyes as well, she saw her beloved smiling at her and she blossomed with an equally beautiful smile. The boy said, "Congrattions on the breakthrough."


    Yuki replied in a low voice, "Thank you. What gift do I get?"


    You Xi Wang asked, ''What do you want?"


    The girl replied, "A warm her and a kiss, probably."


    You Xi Wang smiled and pulled her into his embrace gently. The two people kissed each other. Yuki smiled after they break away from the kiss. She said, "Will you marry me after going back home?"


    You Xi Wang was surprised but quickly reacted, "Okay, if you want to do it then we do it."


    Yuki smiled and said, "After we go back home, get the blessings of the elders and then I will go to ept the lineage of my father''s family, that way I will be able to help your dream fulfill." her eyes were filled with sparkles as she said this.


    You Xi Wang asked, "What is my dream?"


    Yuki said, "The peak of it all."


    The boy chuckled and said, "Yes, the peak, but with you all. I love you but not because you can support me but because you can walk side by side with me."


    The two started to converse about their future and the night fell. Yuki went back to her room to consolidate her realm while You Xi Wang stood up and walked to the gym in themand center. It was wee hours and only the patrol soldiers were on duty. The boy first went to the infirmary checked up on Gena, then came to the gymnasium.


    The gymnasium was more like a martial arts Dojo. They did not have much requirement for muscle training, so it was a huge empty hall for the soldiers to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly You Xi Wang found the old major at the ce practicing some martial arts. His physiques were anything but old.


    The man had a perfect mermaid line below his 6 abs. It was as if a stone carving was covered with skin. You Xi Wang couldn''t help but want topete against him. He said, "Can I spar with you, sir?"


    The old man replied, "Surely, the young god of war. Cannot hold back the spirit to battle?"


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile on his face. The old man said, "Come, let''s take out melee spirit weapons." he took out the brawler gloves and put them on.


    How could the young man hold himself back? He also took out his gloves and also the war boots. The two people stood facing each other. The old man approached You Xi Wang first. He wanted to gain the initial momentum but how could it be easy to face the monster like this? You Xi Wang switched his chance and greeted the old man with an overhead kick.


    The leg passed over the old man''s head from the left but the next second it came back at him for the right. Half roundhouse kick. The old man used his arms to guard himself to catch the impact. The impact came but from his gut. The kicking method You Xi Wang used made his leg akin to a whip. Deceive and destroy. The damage may not be too much but an umtion of anything is harmful.


    The two people kept at it for an hour before You Xi Wang stopped. The old man was holding back at first butter he started to take on attacks but diffuse them with softness and hardness. You Xi Wang said, "Taichi."


    The old man smiled, "Thank you for teaching me." in the spar just know whenever the old man attacked You Xi Wang diffused his attackers with taichi, but he did not take it into ount that the old man would actually pick it up during a spar.


    This old man was anything but simple. The two bowed to each other and went to the separate bathroom areas. After they dressed up in a uniform they both headed to the southern squad hall. The old man said, "Kid, you better go to themand center. You are being reposted. also, those were some nice skills back there."


    You Xi Wan was confused over why he would be sent to themand center. Yet after a salute, he followed themand. He came to themand center and greeted the guard outside. Walked in and saw Deputy Riaz and Commander Maddison Midnight were talking to each other.


    He saluted as he said loudly, "Captian You Xi Wang, reporting."


    Maddison said, "At ease. You are called here to take charge of your exploration squad but let me tell you a lot of people, including you can die in the ruins. So be very careful when you enter." her voice was heavy and solemn. It poured a bucket of cold water over You Xi Wang''s excitement.


    You Xi Wang replied, "Yes, Sir."


    Maddison told him, "Also, the equipment we took from you is also returned, we have ced an order back home it will be delivered shortly. As for your squad, Deputy Riaz will introduce you to the squad and the gathering hall. Dismissed."


    Listening to her indifferent speech You Xi Wang almost asked her if she was having menstrual mood swings. But that would probably have him half dead so the boy held it in and decided to ask when the teacher is not in the uniform.

 Chapter 261: Wrath Squad.

    Chapter 261: Wrath Squad.


    Deputy Commander Riaz led You Xi Wang to the squad hall that was constructed for the reserve squad. Yes, they did not have a squad hall dedicated for themselves yet. They were all just here for a year. How could they be allotted a new squad hall?


    Riaz spoke as he led You Xi Wang to the dusty derelict building. He spoke in a wry tone, "Umm, this will be your base of operations. It needs a bit of cleansing so I hope you don''t mind. It can also be used as barracks and dorms. What do you think? Is it okay?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Yes, sir. Is my squad here?"


    Riaz spoke, "Yes, they are all here." He led him to the back of the building where the squad was gathered. us spotted You Xi Wanging over with the deputymander and immediately shouted, "Attention."


    He was the first lieutenant. The rest of the people turned attention in an instant. You Xi Wang spoke, "Thank you, Deputy Commander. May I take charge right away?"


    The deputymander was surprised by his eagerness and nodded. This also meant that he has been politely asked to go away. Despite this, he nodded after all the permission to start the special squad came from the council elders themselves. How can he a mere deputy intervene? So he said, "I wish you, all the best, Captain You."


    The boy saluted him and sent him off. The system spoke up, [Did you see his face?]


    You Xi Wang said, ''I even read his mind let alone face. He wished to kick me back home for sending me off.''


    The system replied, [Oh, this is a good surprise. You can now read minds. Nicely yed.]


    You Xi Wang did not reply. During the battlest night when he kicked off the shit storm he finally got to level one of mind-reading, Judging reactions. Giving up on the bitching session. He faced the squad in front of him.


    He spoke, "First, let''s clean this up. You have five minutes." his voice was not loud but everyone heard it.


    Fenny stepped forward and said, "usy, you sure you are the first lieutenant? Get the wind or water spirit users to dust of the dirt and then spray dew on it."


    us did as he was told and the squad moved. Fenny said, "Fire spirit users, heat it. We need the house dried up."


    Her words were followed up and within three minutes the clean-up was done. You Xi Wang led everyone inside the coremand room. It was a big hall with one map on the wall and a digital tablet in the center.


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Technical experts of all teams step forward."


    8 people stepped forward. You Xi Wang said, "You all know your duties but what I want you to do is to find me a ratio where all five elements are bnced and can bebined. You have one day for this task. I want every team to be rearranged ins such a manner that they have users of all the elements. Get it?"


    The 8 people replied, "<strong>YES, SIR.</strong>"


    us asked, "Sir, why do you rearrange us?"


    You Xi Wang spoke in a deep voice, "Five elements can bebined to form energy, I call, Holy Spirit energy. This energy is not only pure but also very strong. I show will show you." he waved his hand and five round balls of spirit energy werebined.


    He waved it again and the spirit energybined forming a golden ball tenth the size of the five balls. You Xi Wang said, "This small blob is enough to destroy this whole building and injure all of us if it is not stable. This same energy is what I used that day to clear of the game spot. What I want is that we all can form a barrier of this energy around us while we venture inside the Dark Creature hotspots. This way we will be able to stay safe and venture for long enough."


    Everyone was surprised, they did hear that You Xi Wang did something wicked but how they were unaware. It was also unexpected that You Xi Wang will tell them his secret. This should how much he trusted in them and this also increased the strength of their team. They all were now grateful to him.


    An spoke up, "Xiao Wang, Two people are not here. What do we do?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Yuki is taking rest she was hurt in the battle yesterday. As for Gena let us see when she can wake up. As for now. Team 3, 4, and 5. Take the first raid, 6, 7, and 8 take the second raid. Team Two is on stand-by while Team one is missing members so you are to stay at the base. By this I mean I am staying here. I need to receive some ammunition and stuff first. You guys leave. Also, Safety is the priority. I don''t care if you move at a snail''s pace, but if I heard about causality or serious injury. You will regret your decision toe here. Dismissed."


    The squad saluted him and left to get the tasks done. They all had one hour before leaving for the raids. But they also had to form new teams as well. This was the task left to the technicians cause they knew their teammates better.


    You Xi Wang walked out of the squad hall and An followed him. The red-haired boy said, "Xiao Wang, you got a minute?"


    You Xi Wang asked, "Yeah bro, wassup?"


    An sighed and looked around then he said, "Let''s take a walk."


    You Xi Wang nodded and the two people walked ahead to the sparring field. An asked, "Do you not think that telling your secret can create problems?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Bro, I get what you mean but if a secret is made public then it has no value. In the squad, we need people toe together and grow stronger. don''t worry nothing will go wrong. We are the Wrath Squad, and we together we are strong."


    The system inside his mind cried, [APES TOGETHER STRONG]

 Chapter 262: Two Discoveries.

    Chapter 262: Two Discoveries.


    It has been six months since You Xi Wang was allowed to take his squad and start venturing on his own. Today was the Bi-annual report day. All the Majors gathered in themand center. They were all talking and looking at an empty chair from time to time. Deputy Commander Riaz and Deputy Commander No.2 entered the room with Maddison in lead.


    Riaz spoke, "Attention."


    All the majors stood up and saluted Maddison. Themander nodded to them and said, "Have a seat."


    Everyone else sat down but the major, responsible for the western region kept standing. Maddison asked, "Something the problem, Arturo?"


    This had his face pped by You Xi Wang once so the past grievance was to be counted for today. He spoke, "Clearance Squad Captain, You Xi Wang is not here."


    Maddison nodded in nonchnce. She said, "He is out there, an early raid. Will be returning before his turn arrives. Just so you know that I am covering him up. Here." she projected a formal application for the dy in attendance, written by You Xi Wang.


    The major shut up and sat down, inside his heart he was actually cursing himself for looking down on that monster. Maddison spoke up and the meeting started. East zone first reported the status. They reported the advancement, casualties, and consumption.


    Followed by the North, West, and South squad. This whole processsted for an hour. (I wish I could just drag this section for more words. Lol) Suddenly the corporal standing outside the door came in. He asked, "Commander, Captain You Xi Wang asks the permission to march in."


    Maddison nodded with a faint smile as she said, "Let hime in."


    The corporal returned after a salute, soon You Xi Wang walked in. His hair had not grown as long as his neck and was held together with a rubber band. His fair skin now had a slight tan, making his chiseled face look even more angr and handsome. The one change was his right eyebrow, it was now had a cut near its edge. If he was a handsome guy earlier, now he was a Male God.


    The aura in his body waspletely restrained, You Xi Wang now had mastered 6 spirit weapons, five intents, sword, spear, bow&arrow, knife, and fist, namely. His cultivation was now stable at the mid-level primal soul. His growth was being constantly monitored by the people, the more they knew him, the more shocked they felt.


    It was not only You Xi Wang but also his whole squad these guys were all monsters, all of them broke into the Primal soul realm. (Primal soul isparable to a Super Saiyan 3) Imagine 40 of them. Yeah, they were all monsters.


    You Xi Wang saluted Maddison Midnight and said, "I apologize for beingte."


    Maddison Midnight replied, "It is fine. It is your turn to report now." her voice was calm.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "We have cleared 60 hotspots in total, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, ten hotspots each. Right now the cleared area lies behind the immediate patrolling area of the rest of the squads. This was done so that we can attack from two sides, front and back to support the four regional squads. The squad has consumed seven thousand two hundred food pills. One per day, and once a month we change our battle suits, which tallies up to one hundred eighty now."


    The words he spoke just now shocked them all. Regional squads knew that You Xi Wang''s squad would go out to clear the hotspots behind the immediate patrol area but they did not think for him to have dealt with sixty spots already. This was a tremendous achievement. Deputy Commander Riaz asked, "Captain You, what is the casualty number?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Except for some scratches now and then everyone is doing well. No casualties."


    <strong>BOOM.</strong>


    The minds of almost everyone present experienced Explosions. They have been here for ages yet the death rate of 70 % every month turned to nothing in front of this kid. You need to know that hardly anyone in his squad was over 20 years. Yet they managed to survive, suddenly the western regional squad major asked, "Captain You Xi Wang, do share your expertise with us all so that everyone in our squad can be also decrease the casualties."


    The rest nodded, while Maddison had an amused smile on her face. She wanted to see how will You Xi Wang act and handle this ball in his court. You Xi Wang said, "We use the same equipment as you guys do, while the time we spend out there is much more than you do. I don''t actually have any secret. Yes, we make internal rotations in our squad teams every week, that way the understanding of everyone has reached a level that they can fight well in almost any team. We use a triangle battle array with two people responsible for the support in the center. Obviously, I have my guys fight supporting each other. So, yeah that is about it"


    The rest were stuck in a daze. They could not understand what You Xi Wang meant. Maddison took a deep breath to hold back herself fromughing. You XI Wang just used eloquence to fool these old people. No wonder he was called a maestro. This guy was now at the second stage of Mind reading, ''Micro Maniption.''


    His, yes I will share my attitude was the key in this situation, which when paired with a fast mouth can create wonders. Maddison asked, "Any discoveries?"


    You Xi Wang nodded but said, "Two."


    Maddison heard from his brief reply that it must be an confidential matter. She said, "Everyone else, is dismissed."


    Her voice was cold and everyone walked away with an confused expression. You Xi Wang did tell them that he makes internal rotation but he did not tell them about the hold spirit energy. The system said, [Master, you have grown up.]


    You Xi Wang snorted, ''Can you stop acting like alfred?''


    The system said, [Oh busted. Well, talk to the beauty. She is looking more pretty.]


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Teacher, I have a bad news and a good news. Which one first?"


    Maddison said, "Brat, don''t mold your web of words with teacher. Speak what is it."


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head, "We found a ruin in the southern region."


    Maddison was excited, "GOOD."


    You Xi Wang facepalmed and said, "You are a bigger kid then I am. The ruin is upied by the dark forces. When I say Dark forces, I mean humans. The entire poption of that ruin has been corrupted by the dark energy and are like a walking dead now."


    His words fell down like a bucked of cold water over Maddison''s head. She calmed down immediately. She asked, "What makes you so sure?"


    You Xi Wang said, "We found the clues of the ruins a week ago, but did not approach it. Primary Scouting team only came back today. Neo led them and you know what he did? He captured a live zombie and brought it to me in the morning. That is why I had to rush up early. They can be dealt with the spirit phaser guns but, their behavior is what worries me."


    Maddison asked, "What about there behavior?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Ants. They act like ants. I can sense like they are being controlled by someone but who is that someone, I do not know. This news must only be known to the Council elders. I do not trust everyone here much teacher."


    Maddison nodded and said, "I will ask Elder Victoria toe over here in person. That way the risk will be lower." her voice was solemn.


    You Xi Wang said, "If the elder is ready toe over here, ask her to bring Elder Animo ALbus with her. We need strong array formations. My purification array is not very effective on these zombies. I worry there master will be a tough nut."


    Maddison Midnight sensed the pressure and tense inside his voice. She said, "Someone who is tougher in front of our Youngest War God?"


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Being a war god does not makes me invincible teacher. Plus, now I have to think about others behind me as well."


    Maddison nodded with a smile. Ever since Yuki asked him to get married when they go back, he has be more considerate. This was also the reason that his squad was not actually rampant as he first wanted it to be. Maddison spoke, "Okay you are dismissed, I will handle this matter. Also, you have received mail from You Zhichi and the others in the family make sure to write them back."


    After a salute You Xi Wang left themand center. Today was a day off for him.

 Chapter 263: Fun.

    Chapter 263: Fun.


    You Xi Wang took his leave from themand center and went back to his room in the squad hall. In the past six months, his squad has all stayed here only. He entered the building and saw Zen Shoto and his team. He asked, "Sho, are you on rotation today?"


    Zen Shoto has be good friends with him. So he did not mind the short name. He replied, "Yeah, what''s up?"


    Not only his name but his personality has be more outspoken and frank. You Xi Wang replied, "I was thinking if we should stop the recon team from approaching the ruins? I am afraid that the hand in the shadows might act up."


    Zen Shoto replied, "You are lining up with me. Do not worry though. I have already asked Fenny about this. She agreed and the recon team is to stay out of bounds for the time being. What did themander say about it?"


    You Xi Wang told him about the discussion he had with Maddison earlier. Zen Shoto nodded thoughtfully and said, "Why don''t we try to purify that ce with the Holy-Spirit energy?"


    The other boy shook his head at this. He said, "The array formation will take a long time. I cannot do it alone. Neither can we project the holy spirit there. The dark energy first needs to be constrained and then purified. First, we need a level 8 barrier. I am at level 7. So we better wait for the backup."


    Zen Shoto nodded, "Your bottleneck cannot be loosened here."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "I know right, the scenery here is not very eye-pleasing plus those food pills. Daddy has umted pill poison now."


    Zen chuckled and replied, "You should have seen us when he took the pill poison removal tonic. His face scrunched up like a bitter gourd. Hahahaha."


    You Xi Wang also chuckled, after a small talk they parted. Zen was in charge of themand center while the former was taking rest. Inside his room, You Xi Wang immediately picked up a data coin for the desk. ced it in the slot of the disy table. Soon a hologram appeared in front of him. The hologram was of You Naixin and everyone at home.


    You Zhichi, Celestia, and Lily were also there. They all spoke, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU XI WANG."


    The boy was surprised and said, "I forgot about that." today was his birthday. Scratched the back of his head and mumbled, ''17 huh. thank you, guys. I miss you all.''


    Then he saw the pictures they clicked and sent him with their wishes written on the pictures. These were all digital. Petra, Susan, Emily, Yuki''s family, and their families were all there too. They all had a party and the atmosphere was jolly. Along with the letters, somepany reports were also there.


    You Xi Wang saw the reports and shook his head. The operations were good and the products were now being used world wide. The name of thepany was renowned on all of Metropia. He was happy with the reports and sent beck the reply congratting the staff and the management. He asked You Naixin to arrange for a bonus appropriately for the people.


    In the end, he clicked three pictures of his and stored them all in a data coin and walked out of his room. He was headed to the postal office of the warring forces where every soldier sent letters home and stuff. He would have toe here once every month but three months ago he was in a raid and to save fenny he took on a scratch on his eyebrow, almost losing the eye. Since then it became weekly for him. Or he will get scolded by You Zhichi and the rest.


    This was a hassle, one day in every week he will rest, so would the others but on rotation and rest did not mean anything. They would still go out to raid if they are restless. The boy walked up to the postal office and stood in a queue. He was recognised by almost everyone in the Epoch Base. Only a few would not know him.


    A coporal said, "Sir, do you wan to go ahead?" he was trying to give up his slot to You Xi Wang. The boy waved his hand with a smile and said, "Carry on. I am free today so it is fine."


    The corporal nodded and turned back to the front. You Xi Wang waited in the queue for an whole hour before it was his turn. He walked up to the window and said to the soldier inside, "From, Captain You Xi Wang, Clearance Squad, Epoch Base. To You Family Mansion, Silica City, Metropia..."


    After a dozens of formailities his data coin was sent epted to send back home. He sighed and turned back to the squad hall. The system spoke in his mind, [Your team forgot your birthday.]


    You Xi Wang shrugged, "Probably lost sense of time."


    The system said, [Good excuse.]


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Stop trying to put a chasm. You know that will not work at all."


    The system snorted, [What is so good about you? Bitch, Daddy wants to go out.]


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "Stop with this already. You were outst month."


    The system spoke, [For an hour.]


    You Xi Wang started ignoring him, and mumbled, ''How long has it been since I have slept? Let''s get some shut eye.'' with that decided he walked back to his Squad hall and entered themand center only to pause. Themand center was decorated with balloons and ribbons. Yuki jumped up from the side and said, "Happy birthday, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang smiled and replied, "Thank You." as he took a hold of her hand. The rest of the guys also poured up. The whole squad was here. You Xi Wang asked, "What are you guys doing here? Who is on the recon checkpost?"


    Fenny said, "Deputy Commander Rias, volunteered to take that over."


    They all had signed an application and passed it to thmander asking for a day off, a lot of people had their birthdays and it was not celebrated and today they will hold a celebration party for everyone together. Maddison was more then happy because of the achievements they have piled up were enough for have them all promoted to captains and majors. So this small holiday was okay.


    The squad hall of the Wrath Squad was a tabbo territory as the people inside radiated a cold aura which was inturn radiated from the building but tonight he whole ce was echoing with melodious songs andughter. The whole base was curious about what the asion would be. Soon their questions were answered whenthe Wrath squad officers visited them all with big cakes and said that it was to share their happiness with them. They all found out that You Xi Wang stepped in his 17th year.


    Well wishes flooded in. You Xi Wang was not shy or arrogant about it, he personally attended the visitors with Yuki and Gena beside him. Well, yeah his male god charm has worked once again. When he rescued Gena from the swarm, she was slightly awake and could feel how angry was he for her.


    Soter on they became goo friend and Gena proposed, but to Yuki. Yuki had no problem and soon the harem league continued on the moon. The people were drowned in alcohol and food. These were all the supplies Yuki and the rest of the girls bought here when they first came from earth.


    The night passed away, the people went back to their duties. You Xi Wang stood on a cliff with his eyes slightly squinted. He spoke, "Fenny, what do you see?"


    Fenny was beside him and she said, "The zombies are acting as if they are blocked by something?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Not the zombies but the dark master inside the ruins must be contained here by something."


    Fenny opened her eyes wide, "Xiao Wang, do you mean this is ay up?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and nodded, "Tell the teams, seal of this whole parameter. we will only deal with it when we hear a response from the elders. I don''t want to y with fire"


    Fenny nodded and went to get the things done. You Xi Wang was correct in his decision. He was not going to push his team to death. Not when he knew that it could be avoided. He did not want any other squads to make a mess so he directly asked Fenny to make a parameter around.


    ...


    Inside the ruin, in a sealed room, a woman sat with her hair like a dark waterfall. She was very beautiful except for that her eyes were as ck as a Void. They were missing any other color then ck. She smiled grimly, as she mumbled, ''Interesting child. It will be fun to y.''

 Chapter 264: Shit storm.

    Chapter 264: Shit storm.


    The system sensed something when the woman spoke up. It said, [Master, the entity inside is not something we can face yet.]


    You Xi Wang trembled, ''Did you sense it?''


    The system said, [If not for the fact that the person inside let out a slight flicker ofws of darkness. I would not have sensed their presence.]


    The boy suddenly froze as he asked, ''What did you say? Laws of darkness?''


    System nodded, [Remember that guy, Rudra? He also let out a flicker ofws of destruction when he saw thatdy. This is the same.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Do you mean that this is a god of darkness?''


    The system snorted, [Tenth of a god. Your grandmaster can deal with it. But this needs to be done soon. The person inside has sensed us. I am scared, that a shit storm is about to start.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Any method to deal with it?''


    [Either you step into Nirvana rebirth,prehendws, or run away. Which one of the three do you find more applicable.] the system spat.


    You Xi Wang spoke up loud, "Everyone retreat. No recon. Set up a guard post five kilometers away from here, all four directions. Go." the team did not hesitate and followed his orders without dy. The boy said to Fenny, "Take charge here, I will go to the base."


    Fenny asked, "What happened?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Shit happened, big momma, we are in a big mess. Don''t ask much. Trust me" with that said he flew up back to the base. His speed was now very fast. He did not waste a second as he hurried towards themand center.


    ...


    The corporal at the door said, "Sir, themander has asked no be to interrupt."


    You Xi Wang said, "You can inform her that, it is a level 7 alert report. I will take the whole responsibility."


    The corporal was shocked to hear the level 7 alert. He was also aware of who You Xi Wang was. after some initial hesitation, he nodded and walked inside. After two minutes he came outside and let You Xi Wang get inside.


    ...


    The boy stepped inside themand center to see a gracefuldy sitting in front of Maddison Midnight. He saluted his teacher and then bowed down to the elder and said, "I have seen the elder."


    Victoria nodded with a smile as she saw him. She asked, "What made you rattle, Xiao Wang? I heard the corporal say that it is a level seven alert?"


    You XI Wang gulped and said, "My team located a ruin. Preliminary scout and recon showed it to be infested by zombie puppets. These puppets were all controlled by someone. Today when I went to the recon post, I found that the entity inside the ruin is an expert in darkws. If a battle was triggered we will be wiped outpletely in one night."


    His words shocked Maddison and the elder was already standing. The elder asked, "How do you know that the other party is proficient in thews of darkness?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "I had an encounter once with the god of destruction. It was a simr feeling that I sensed today but it was not of destruction but it was the darkness."


    The two people were shocked, Victoria asked, "Do you mean that the other entity is a god of darkness?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "The sensation was faint. Very faint to be exact, but I am sure that it was thew of darkness. Until and unless I am in Nirvana Rebirth Realm, I cannot face a Law wielder. Elder, you need toe over, and not alone. I am afraid something big is about to happen." he was really anxious.


    Elder Victoria sensed his restlessness and said, "Don''t worry, I will arrive tomorrow. None is allowed to approach the ruins until I am there."


    You Xi Wang said, "Elder if possible get a concealment array pendant from the grand master. It will be better to conceal your arrivals. Who knows how big is the perception of thew wielder is."


    Law wielder was not a realm but it was a designation given to the people who hadprehendedws. Because Nirvana Rebirth realm needed one toprehendws to ascend to the next level. This thing was not easy at all. Some people were stuck on it for even hundred years. That is the reason that not many people have advanced to the Niravana Rebirth realm.


    You Xi Wang was correct to be afraid. After a few more instructions the call disconnected. Maddison said, "Calm down, the elder will be here soon."


    You Xi Wang nodded and was about to leave when the rm went off in the whole base. He nced at the map and saw that the location the rm went off the the east side of the moon. He took a sigh of relief and left themand center. It was not his zone to solve the problems. Right now on his mind was the though to go back to the squal hall and have a meeting with his team.


    He walked back to the squad hall in a daze, Gena happened to being out and she asked, "Xi Wang, what happened?"


    You Xi Wang snapped out and said, "Gather everyone. This will be long and important. Also, call back those at the guard post toe back, but not before they deploy a concealment array, killing array and some surveince drones around the ruin. The parameter radius is five kilometer."


    Gena nodded and went back inside the hall to ry the message. A white figure flicked out of his shadow. It was may. She asked him, "Brother Xi Wang, your spirit is unstable. What is it?"


    You Xi Wang stroked her head gently and said, "Maya, I am afraid that the future will not be very easy."


    Maya replied, "What is easy, big brother? If not for the unconscious brain, we will have to spend effort in breathing too. No? Nothing is ever easy and neither is it hard. You just have to remember that it is all in your mind and how you look at a situation."


    You Xi Wang was surprised and chuckled, "Yes, you are right. I did lose my sight there for a second. So what do you say? Can we deal with thatw wielder?"


    Maya said, "We will know when we try, won''t we?"


    You Xi Wang nodded to her with a smile and mumbled, "We will, for sure."


    The two went inside the squad hall and waited for the others to gather. It twook people three hours toe back from all the postings. You Xi Wang said, "So, we have a situation."


    us asked, "What is it?"


    He took a deep breath and said, "It has been detected that inside those ruins, aw wielder is present."


    His words unsettled everyone. They began to murmur. Issac spat, "SHUT UP."


    The crowd immediately fell into silence. You Xi Wang nodded to Isaac and then continued, "Elder Victoria is arriving tomorrow. We are tasked to guard the ce tonight. It will be tough and deadly. But we have to stay together. To make sure that the things do not fall apart, I have a n."


    Chen Yuping spoke, "Why are you hesitating? Just say, how many times have you saved almost each one of us from death? Go on we trust you." he sensed that his cousin was holding back today.


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "So the n is to make the enemy pit itself in a situation where they can not attack us indiscriminately..."


    ...


    It was early at night when the squad all stood at the guarding post. Five sentries were posted gazing at the ruin for any moment at all. They have all taken every possible. You Xi Wang and the 40 others were sitting together in meditation. Beforeing here Yuki asked the boy why was he being so hesitant today.


    He told her that it is because he is afraid to see his close ones suffer. Yuki smiled and said, "If you hesitated and something happened, you will just be able to regret it. Try to let go of the pressure. You are not alone, we all are here. It will be alreight."


    This small talk made his mood rise a bit and finally they all were ready to face whatever was toe.


    ...


    Inside the ruins, thedy spoke, "These kids are not easy to deal with." she sighed and said, "How long has it been, since I have felt this feeling?"


    Her ck eyes flickered and revealed a trace of sanity. Suddenly her body keeled over, she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Shut up bitch, why do struggle so much even after giving in. Do you not remember that it was this emotional trash of yours that made darkness prevail? Better shut up and let me have some fun. These brats, I want to see how long can theyhold up."

 Chapter 265: Pathetic.

    Chapter 265: Pathetic.


    Gena was one of the overwatch sentries. While observing the movement of the zombies, she suddenly said, "Alert, everyone."


    You Xi Wang and the rest were meditating not too far from her. He opened his eyes and said in a loud voice, "<strong>SQUAD ALERT</strong>"


    The rest of the people stood up in attention. You Xi Wang had already exined the strategy for all the possible scenarios. Cultivators had a smart brain, but this guy was smarter plus he was blessed with a system. He had ns for almost everything the opposing side can think of, humanly or inhumanely.


    He walked forward to where the sentries were. He asked Gena, "What is it?"


    Gena replied to him, "The zombies are not in stimulus now. They are moving slowly."


    You Xi Wang concentrated his spirit energy in his eye lense. The surroundings became as bright as day. The whole squad was equipped with a multi-purpose contact lense. It could zoom in, provide night vision, thermal and infrared. All thanks to a set of arrays engraved on it. You Xi Wang came up with it.


    Running spirit energy inside your eyeball can do something but it was not very efficient. It needed a constant flow of spiritual energy through the eye. While the lenses had a spirit-gathering array on them. You just start it once and the lens will work and to turn it off, you just disrupt the spirit flow in the lense.


    Simple yetplicated. You Xi Wang gazed at the field in front of him. The system spoke up, [The dark energy is like a string to them. They are puppets.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Cannot cut the string. Destroy the puppet.''


    The system said, [Berserk will have loopholes.]


    You Xi Wang replied, ''Phnx. Also, the funnel opening helps us. They cannot use elements. They can rush at us. That is all. They have the physical strength and one brain. We have 40 brains and physical strength as well. Let''s dance.''


    The system said, [Sure thing, boss.]


    You Xi Wang said to the squad, "We deal with them in a Phnx. Switch every ten minutes."


    "<strong>AYE</strong>" the squad replied and they quickly walked up to the front. They could see the opening with the holographic line on their left eye. The right eye had the contact lens while the left eye had a holographic projection. They wore the on-earmunicator on their left ear. They were totally sci-fi-ed by their captain.


    Their gear was all customized as well. All battle suits were equipped with space arrays, and masks to iste theirmunication within the squad. Fenny said, "I have notified themand center. Commander is on the way with Deputy Riaz."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said from behind the front line, "I don''t want to see you guys suffer but to do that. You must break these undead pieces of scums. DO YOU GET THAT?" he raised the voice by the end of it.


    The squad replied, "<strong>Aye</strong>."


    us was leading the first line. He said in a loud voice, "WHO ARE WE?"


    The squad replied, "THE WRATH SQUAD."


    Zen Shoto was in the second line and he asked, "WHAT DO WE DO?"


    The squad came back, "WE FIGHT."


    Neo spoke, "FIGHT THEN. HAIL THE GOD OF WAR."


    The squad replied, "HAIL THE GOD OF WAR."


    Fenny asked You Xi Wang, "Why did you select the god of war?"


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Everyone has their own notion of right or wrong. The dark is need for the light to shine, and vice versa. To maintain this bnce is why we fight. The two forces are at war ever since the world came into existence. That is why I chose it to be so."


    Fenny nodded and turned her head to the front. She and the other snipers were carrying a grenadeuncher and other AOE weapons. They did not need precision to fight against the mob of zombies. Just kill them all as theye. The front lines all had shields and phaser spears in their hands.


    The shields were as big as a human and they had a slot hole, from where a tube-like thing was poked out. This was a phaser spear. Fenny and Gena designed it based on a phasor rifle. You Xi Wang was the one who asked them for this. This spear was also a reason they could deal with the gamma spots.


    They would form a circle between the swarm and then the phasor beams will wreak havoc. Well, they all got into the formation, us took a deep breath and said, "Hold till the target is five meters away and then release at will."


    You Xi Wang took out his bow and concentrated his spirit energy on the bow and a long arrow formed on it. Yuki''s voice sounded in his earpiece, "You can draw them over, Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang aimed the arrow at the field and stretched the bow in a full moon. Then with a <em>PENG,</em> the arrow flew to the field andnded 5 meters away from the front line soldiers. The shiny holy spirit arrow was very attractive to the zombies, just like its fire was to the moths. Despite the control of the dark Law Wielder inside the ruins, the zombies still had the nature of a primitive dark creature. They rushed at the spirit arrow.


    ...


    Inside the ruin, thedy snorted, "Troublesome brats, humph let us see how long can you endure the mob."


    ...


    The system outside spoke, [Oh battle of endurance so early? Pathetic.]


    You Xi Wang asked, "What happened?"


    [Law wielder cannot override the primitive nature of the element until they have a full understanding of it. That Arrow of yours just cut off the strings of the puppets. Now you just try to oust the mobs.] said the system.


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "So pathetic? I was scared all day long for this crap?"


    The system replied, [Oi, oi, don''t get cocky now. You still cannot look down on these bitches. Mosquitoes in a swarm are bitch as difficult to deal with. Focus now.]


    You Xi Wang just snorted at him.

 Chapter 266: War God Shot.

    Chapter 266: War God Shot.


    In themand center, Maddison received a short report, "Commander this is Wrath Squad, we have movement. Request your presence for backup. Over and Out" during the transmission Deputy Riaz was also present inside themand center. Since the transmission was done on themon transmission band of themand center, the people in the office could all hear it clearly.


    Handing over themand of the base to the second deputymander. Riaz and Maddison left the base with their guards. The situation was not known to anyone except the three higher-ups. When Maddison reached the spot, she found that the whole squad, the best squad of the base, was engaged with the dark creatures holding nothing back. Although they all maintained a formation, the stress and tension were visible.


    The squad operated in silence, but they were slowly draining themselves. You Xi Wang issued amand in the isted channel, "Deploy the spirit barrier, narrow down the exist and split on mymand."


    The squad did not know what You Xi Wang had in mind, but they all trusted him to the utmost and they responded, "AYE."


    They all aimed their spirit energy, and a golden dome formed up around the array pattern. The darkw wielder had sensed the existence of the arrays and did not let the zombies charge into them desperately. You Xi Wang had a grade 7 spirit barrier deployed ahead of the arrays. The barrier had only one opening that was only a few feet wide.


    The golden dome formed and Fennymanded, "Focus fire on the exit point."


    The squad replied, "AYE" and they focused the line of fire on the exit point. Their phnx formation was now concave and all the Phaser spears were making the zombies turn into fine sieves. The undead was different. They would all just turn to dust after being hit by the Holy spirit energy.


    Yes, the Phaser spear was capable of that. It would extract the other four elements from the environment and shoot after concentrating them into a beam of the holy spirit. The arrays used for extraction were all hybrid and this weapon was abination of advanced technology and innovative array knowledge.


    The load lowered a bit. Just when the squad was getting happy, You Xi Wangmanded, "Keep firing and split up."


    The squad followed with nothing asked.


    ...


    Maddison, on the side, was watching the squad and was prepared to lend a hand whenever needed. She was surprised to see the squad split up. She turned her gaze to You Xi Wang who stood in the back. Her surprise turned to shock. In front of the boy,id a canon. It was not a normal cannon. Deputy Riaz sucked in a cold breath and said, "Did they experiment with this weapon?"


    ...


    The weapon in his mouth was a howitzer-level cannon. What You Xi Wang did was to turn 9 howitzers into a battling gun. Can you imagine the size and dread that thing could do?


    Yeah, You Xi Wang, Gena, and Fenny, along with other tech experts, made this thing. This was a secret kept by their squad, a hole card if they came against an enemy that was difficult to deal with. Plus, not everyone could use this battling gun. It was a Phaser weapon. Ten people were needed to input spirit energy for ten minutes, and only then will it refine and condense them into a beam of damage capable holy spirit beam.


    You Xi Wang had a higher quality of spirit energy and the quantity was simr. On the back of his suit, a spirit-gathering array started running as soon as he held the input shafts in his hands. The boy transmitted all his spirit energy inside in an instant. Because of the cultivation technique, he practiced the body itself was now like a superconductor of the five elements. His absorption and channeling were matchless in the entire world.


    He spat out in the squad channel, "RETREAT."


    The squad all retreated while firing. A light appeared inside the canon turret and it flickered, the cannon roared, it moved clockwise and the next turret shed. After a second, a sound was heard.


    BOOM...


    The sound was suppressed by the noise cancetion arrays of the seventh level first. But it was so strong that it still was heard out in a radius of twenty kilometers.


    ...


    Maddison felt her heart almost jumping out of her chest. Thedy felt the shock from the sound in her body just now, and it was nothing less than scary. She turned her head to the opening of the spirit barrier and found none of the zombies to be visible in a radius of 500 meters.


    Deputy Riaz spoke doubtfully, "Commander, why do I feel like this is not the true power of this weapon?"


    Maddison replied without moving her gaze, "Because it is not." her words dropped and the second shotnded. The impact range was 1000 meters. She called up Fenny on herms and asked, "What is this weapon?"


    Fenny chuckled and said, "Heavenly tribtion."


    The name might sound a bit too much, but the reason behind it was the principal the weapon followed. Every attack would be twice stronger than the previous one. Maddison was shocked. She did not expect these kids to be so wild. She immediately said, "That is dangerous, these cannons were not made to handle that big of an impact."


    Fenny replied, "These turrets are all, made in Elfheim, we have the secret ess to go there you know, teacher?" the indifference in her voice was choking Maddison.


    She asked, "How many secrets do you guys have?"


    Fenny just chuckled and spoke to her squad, "Take the spirit rejuvenation pills and get ready. We have thirty minutes."


    The squad stopped firing, and all sat on their spots gathered spirit energy in their bodies. They all had a spirit-gathering array on the backs of their suits. Deputy Riaz gulped a mouthful of sputum. He asked Maddison, "Commander, these guys sure arevish, no? They have a spirit gathering formation in their suits. But is it not wasteful? The arrays would disturb the spirit energy flow of the rest of the people as well."


    Maddison said, "You Xi Wang is smarter than me and you bothbined by a level we cannot think of. This boy also is a grade 7 array master. Do you think he will not know of such a basic w of a close chain of spirit-gathering arrays? Look closely."


    Deputy Riaz gazed closed, but he found nothing too striking. Then suddenly his pupils dted. He spotted a sesame seed-sized ck hole in the void. That hole was spewing spirit energy into the people. Almost injecting it into their body. He pointed at them with a shivering finger.


    He spoke with a stutter, "Is that a Peak Grade 7 array invented and used by Grand Elder Animus? The remote teleportation array? But how can it conduct spiritual energy? Who is this kid?" he was having an existential crisis at this moment.


    Maddison did not exin, but she was silently eximing in her heart. Not only did her student, master something none another can, he also changed it. She moved her gaze to You Xi Wang, and the guy was focused on channeling the energy through his body and bomb the undead. At this moment, he has done 6 shots, clearing one side of the ruin.


    Then You Xi Wang held the handle and on a screen shifted his target a bit and the sixth shot was fired. A glowing beam of holy spirit energynded in the back of the ruin. The highest concentrated region of the zombies.


    The boy closed the spirit barrier and fell to his knees. His hands were stuck to the input shaft. He spoke in the internalms with a low voice, "You guys hurry."


    His hand slipped off the shaft and he was about to fall on the ground when Maya appeared and supported his body. She spoke in his mind, "Brother Xi Wang, take rest." in a soft voice.


    Maddison appeared next to him and held his body up. She embraced him in his arms and whispered, "You did good, Young God of War."


    Fenny stood up from the ground. It took them twenty-five minutes. She spoke seething in rage, "THIS BASTARD, WHY DID HE WENT ON WITH THE SIXTH SHOT? THAT IS HARMFUL TO HIM."


    Issac spoke, "He took out 70 percent of the zombies. We took out 10 percent in the earlier face-off. 20 percent is left. He took a rick, thest shot alone wiped out 30 percent. He could not battle anyhow, that is why he took the sixth shot." in a calm voice.


    Fenny retorted, "I know the math, you geek. Shut up. Get your asses back in formations. If any piece of rotten meat walks out alive. I will break your asses tonight. GO!" her voice was loud and her words were rude. She never liked You Xi Wang to be in pain.


    ...


    Inside the ruins, thedy scowled. "Bastards, so much damage, and still avoid the ruin seals. I SHALL RIP YOU TO SHREDS." she had faced a cracking defeat in front of these greenhorn kids. Her pride was damaged.


    Suddenly her eyes flickered, "You lost, hahaha." a sign of white appeared in her ck eyes. She was fighting at two fronts. One was inside her mind and heart while the other was outside the ruins.

 Chapter 267: Stand Firm.

    Chapter 267: Stand Firm.


    While the squad was arranging formations. Maddison at midnight suddenly felt You Xi Wang in her arms wake up. She said to him in a soft voice, "You should rest now. It is fine."


    You Xi Wang replied, "It is fine. You don''t have to worry, teacher." he ced his hands on her shoulders and broke away from the embrace. He said, "I am fine, just need to meditate." with that said, he sat on the ground and crossed his legs. The Five elements sutra ran through his body, nourishing him with spiritual energy.


    The system was taking control of You Xi Wang as his body was too exhausted to support his soul. The secondary soul (the system) was much more efficient in controlling the basic functions when the main soul was tired. Yes, the boy exhausted his soul and body in thest attack. This was the pressure of letting the spirit energy in the surrounding be funneled into the weapon.


    The system first had to restore the energy of the body and then the soul. Thus, he came out and took control instantly. Maddison was bewildered at this for a second. She sighed and said, "Don''t push yourself too much."


    Her words were not responded, but she sensed the boy nod gently. She smiled and walked back to Riaz. She said, "Go back to themand center, the elders will be here soon, you will greet them. I will stay here in case any abrupt changes ur."


    Deputy Riaz nodded. He discussed some other thing and left after a salute. Fenny walked over to Maddison and covered her eyes from behind and asked in a deep voice, "Guess who?"


    Maddison smiled, "I guess, my cutest and sweetest Fenny." she spoke with a chuckle. The other party took back her hands and bent down, making puking sounds. She then said, "Say, teacher, why do you always have to curse me with those words? How would I face the people when we go back to school? Oh, big momma lost all her face."


    Maddison chuckled as she saw Fenny''s antics. She asked, "How are the others doing?"


    Fenny turned serious. "They can put up a fight but not 100%. I have given them a ten-minute rotation to rest and rejuvenate the energy. Hopefully, the undead won''t react much now."


    Maddison nodded and asked, "If you had that weapon at hands, why did you call me over?"


    Fenny replied, "We made a deal of four shots. I knew this pretentious prick will go to the fifth shot which will take out 40% of the undead, but he took the sixth shot. Let this situation diffuse and I will have Yuki squeeze his balls blue." she snorted at the end.


    Maddison blushed slightly and chuckled. She was a maiden after all, and this rogue-ish girl was just too tant in her art of cursing. She shook her head and saw a lieutenant walking over to them. The boy had his face covered with the mask attached to the battle suit. He spoke, "First Officer, there is movement in the ruins. The build is trembling and is crumbling bit by bit."


    The young man was Issac. His words shocked the twodies. Fenny scowled, "Can you ever say something good, Issac?" then with a sigh, she said, "Commander, would you like toe over and look?" the three people walked back to the front squad.


    Maddison took out a binocr and gazed at the ruins. Fenny spoke at the side, "It seems my guess was correct."


    Issac nodded and said, "Yes, thew wielder is sealed."


    Maddison asked, "Can you guys let me in on this?" her voice was helpless. She did not know how these kids were acting like elders in front of her. She did not know the full situation, that was it.


    Fenny replied, "Thew wielder did not attack us when You Xi Wang used the Heavenly Tribtion. We guessed that he/she is sealed inside. Otherwise, give the vtile nature of the dark creatures, why would they take such a big p from a bunch of kids lying down?"


    Maddison nodded as she spoke, "What you say is correct but since the entity is sealed, why can it affect the undead? To control them? This thing is anything but simple."


    As the three were discussing something, they heard a tired voice in thems, "The seal is self-inflicted." the voice belonged to You Xi Wang. He could hear theirmunication. The system perks.


    Maddison asked, "What do you mean?" she was confused.


    You Xi Wang replied, "I mean, that the seal is self-inflicted because someone powerful enough to cast the seal would have killed thew wielder directly. That is why the dark creature is struggling to break free from the seal."


    His words were not understood by the others. Suddenly they all felt a big tremor. The epicenter was the ruin. Fenny spoke, "Defensive positions!"


    The squad formed a line of shield and phaser spears. Suddenly they heard a creepy peal ofughtering from the ruins. The people all froze at this sound. A shrill voice spoke, "You little bitches, dare to y with me? I will have you all shredded and stewed." it was loud but not angry. It was as if someone was teasing them.


    You Xi Wang who was meditating opened his eyes and nced at the ruin. He could see a beautiful woman sitting inside a circle. All around hery the debris. Yet she could not walk out of the seal. He said, "Try to get out of that seal first. Then we will see."


    His voice was calm, yet loud enough to travel to thedy. Everyone in the squad gazed at her on an alert. Suddenly, thedy opened her closed eyes. Her empty eyes scared everyone, and they raised their feet to retreat when they heard a calm voice, "STEADY."


    You Xi Wang spat out amand. The line stabilized. Thew wielderughed at the scene. She said, "You are quite an interesting one. It has been ages since I have faced someone like you. Come, let me have a taste of your flesh." she let out a peal ofughter.


    You Xi Wang spat one sentence and stopped thedy''sughter, "Lier. You have harmed none ever since you stepped into the darkness." his words shocked the squad and Maddison. But since they all had their gazes pointed at thedy, they understood their captain has seen through thedy. She had shock spelled over her face.

 Chapter 268: The Widow.

    Chapter 268: The Widow.


    The dark eyes of thedy flickered and showed a sign of white like a normal human''s would. She said, "Indeed, I have never harmed anyone ever since I fell to the darkness. Tell me young one, how did you know?" her voice was soft.


    You Xi Wang replied, "You have no baleful aura. I have faced the dark dwellers back home and even here the dark creatures have a baleful aura. But you do not." his voice was calm not affected by this thedy''s tone.


    Thedy smiled beautifully, she said, "No matter what happens, do not let her live, if my body steps out of the seal. You must annihte me..." her gentle voice suddenly turned harsh, "SHUT UP BITCH, YOU DON''T GIVE UP DO YOU?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Interesting. You are fighting the darkness inside you. Admirable."


    Thedy heard his words and scowled, "Shut up you fucking piece of shit. It is because of you that this bitch is fight harder. I will fuck your seven generations."


    You Xi Wang gave her a disgusted face and said, "You sure have weird fetishes. I generation don''t have a heavy taste to fuck dark creatures."


    Thedy screamed and scratched her nails on the ground. But the ground remained unscathed. You Xi Wang spoke in the internalms, "Teacher, what is this situation? How can someone share their body with the darkness?"


    Maddison shook her head and said, "Let us wait. We will see to it when the elderes. Till then everyone stays on high alert."


    You Xi Wang nodded and sat down in meditation. The system was in charge, but he needed to quickly find out who was this person and awaken the main soul. The reason was that You Xi Wang can use all the skills the system had but the reverse was not possible. Think of it like how an admin can do all the things his normal employees do but the normal employees cannot do what the admins do.


    He was immersed in meditation and the time passed. The main soul woke up and was dumped with a lot of info from the system. You Xi Wang asked, ''Is there a way you can get in touch with her soul?''


    The system replied, [I knew you would say something like that. I can do it. Give me a bit I can get in touch with her soul.]


    The boy had control of the body and he cast a gaze at thedy who sat inside the circle, with her furrowed brows. The system at this moment soul force and hook it up at thew wielders soul sea, the pineal nd.


    Imagine the soul force like an invisible harpoon and this harpoon was logged inside thedy''s brows while the rope end was connected to You Xi Wang''s soul sea.


    ...


    The system changed its form into that of You Xi Wang and dived inside the Lady''s Soul sea. The whole ce was as if the starry sky. Shimmering twinkles scattered in the endless ck sky. These twinkles were the Lady''s own soul force while the darkness wasws of darkness. The system scanned and found the brightest twinkle in the mess and came toward it. The system created some sort of signals.


    It can be seen as a morse code, it made sure that the signal was to reach the other end when it twinkled the brightest. This twinkle was the leftover main consciousness of thedy while the flicker in her consciousness was thanks to the darkws. The reason behind the morse code was to make sure that the darkws do not interpret their conversation and attack it.


    The system asked thedy''s consciousness to first link up all the shimmering starts here to grow her strength. This may sound easy but it was not. Yet the shimmering consciousness reacted and started to attract some small particles toward herself. The darkws were not manipted by anyone but it was the dark energy inside thedy''s body that has existed for so long that it has be a pseudo-soul.


    You can say that it is You Xi Wang''s system butpare to ''Jarvis from Iron-man and Ok Goggle from android'' it could not act freely on its own. It has not learned that much and the system was a savage piece of work. Although they were bothposed of negative energy they had a significant difference.


    You Xi Wang never stopped the system from learning anything about the world and growth was supported but the situation of thedy was reserved. She tried her best to suppress the dark energy evolution even to this day.


    The system also got to know about her origins as it guided her concentration to focus and not go astray. The dark energy inside the soul sea was constantly trying to erode the consciousness of thedy. It was only her resolve that she managed to suppress this thing. Given the state of her consciousness, the situation was simr to a time bomb reach the end of the countdown. Law wielders were the most powerful existences.


    They could change the wholendscapes or horizons with a wave of their palms. That is why the system first prioritized the recovery of the consciousness and the strength of thedy rather than scratching her soul for information. The process was slow and long. The system decided to channel itself between You Xi Wang and thedy on an hourly basis.


    The system itself was a secondary life form inside You Xi Wang so leaving his body for a prolonged period was harmful to it and the master. They were dependant on each other for a lot of things. Saying that it wille back in an hour the system left thedy''s soul sea.


    Back in You Xi Wang''s soul sea, the system appeared as a blob of gas. It sighed and said, "Yeah so the time bomb counter has been increased. But you need toe up with something or thisdy will just turn the moon into a meteor. Do you get what I mean?"


    You Xi Wang''s soul avatar was sitting on the small ind with its legs crossed it replied, "Yeah, I did understand what you said. So did you find out the identity of thedy. How long has she been here?"


    The system replied, "I only found out the code name that she remembers."


    You Xi Wang asked, "What is it?"


    The system replied with non chnce, "The widow."

 Chapter 269: Aid Arrives.

    Chapter 269: Aid Arrives.


    You Xi Wang fell silent when he heard the name. He asked the system, ''What kind of codename is this?"


    The system replied, [How the hell would I know? The consciousness was almost on the verge of copse. Let the person regain her strength, her soul will heal, and then we will have answers.]


    You Xi Wang nodded, ''Okay, you watch over her situation while I will dabble in the records of the forces sent to the lost sector to see if something can be discovered.''


    The system nodded and after a few minutes, it went to thedy to check her situation. Constant monitoring was required to not let their efforts go down in the vain. The dark energy was too vtile, slight mistake orck in concentration, and this thing will take you down to the ninth hell in a blink.


    You Xi Wang called Maddison via internalms, "Teacher, I need your help."


    Maddison had not left the ce. She was worried about this bunch of monster children. She asked, "What do you need?"


    The boy replied, "Can we ess the records of the past era to see the details of the personnel posted in the lost sector in the past?"


    Commander Midnight frowned and said, "Only Elder Victoria has the ess to that. Do you need it urgently? I can use the emergency ess but if I don''t have a reason, then it will be a big mess you know. I am only stating the rules to you." she indeed had to tell him the gravity of using special provisions.


    You Xi Wang was also not sure whether they can find out anything in the records or not. The reason was that he did not know where to look. This ce had a mortality rate of 91 percent back then. You can imagine the number of people they have lost here. This was the actual terror of dark forces.


    The boy said, "Let us wait then." he turned his face to the squad. The soldiers were all alert. He scanned a bit and found Yuki among them. The suit was designed in such a way that mental contact cannot be established. This was to prevent any opposing forces tounch a soul attack against them.


    He spoke to Maya, "Can you find out how Yuki is doing?"


    Maya was sitting by his side at this moment she replied, "Why not just call her over here?" You Xi Wang sighed and said, "Okay go call her over."


    The boy wanted to avoid been seen by the squad as a partial person, but now he did not care and let go of the restraint in his heart. Maya gracefully walked over to Yuki and rubbed her head against her leg. Yuki was resting at this moment.


    She patted Maya''s head and looked back at You Xi Wang. The boy nodded and Yuki stood up to walk to his side. You Xi Wang noticed that when she was walking over she passed over a girl and patted her shoulder. The girl nodded after casting a gaze to You Xi Wang went back to her duty.


    Yuki came over to the boy and sat down. She took off her ck wolf mask and asked, "What happened?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Can you take off my mask?"


    Yuki nodded and gently took off his mask. She asked, "What happened to you?" her eyes were filled with concern. She could sense that the boy was not normal.


    You Xi Wang said, "Neurons in my hands are burned." his words shook the heart of the girl. She opened her eyes wide and was about to say something when the boy said, "Calm down, it is healing as we speak. I will be fine in an hour."


    Yuki nodded and then cast her gaze at Maya as she asked, "Maya was hurt?"


    You Xi Wang nodded, "That is inevitable. I showed nothing in front of the teacher or she will have me inside the infirmary. Maya also tolerated for a few minutes in front of her. I healed her first. As long as she is fine I can recover." hearing his words, Maya rubbed her head against his chest. She knew very well that the equality spirit bond can be the biggest disadvantage to both of them, but You Xi Wang always prioritized her and she was grateful for this.


    Yuki spoke with a sigh, "If elder sisters knew that you have suffered here. I wonder if they make me lose ayer of skin."


    You Xi Wang chuckled, "I would like to see who can make my baby lose ayer of skin with me being there."


    Yuki said, "Also, I have been thinking, are we too fast in getting married?" her voice was doubtful.


    The boy replied to her in a sincere voice, "As long as you want to get married, I will be ready. I will also wait for you for as long as you want to."


    Yuki smiled and said, "I know, but ever since we ventured out, I realized that my strength is not that good yet. I want to be a war goddess too."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "You can already be one. Youck to master one more Spirit Weapon. Am I right?"


    Yuki was surprised, "How did you know?" only to hear, "I peeked at you when you were cultivating. And also while you take a bath and stuff. On our days off." he was not ashamed even a bit.


    Yuki pped his shoulder. The boy winced from the pain. Ice-cold beauty was blushing and said, "You pervert."


    You Xi Wang smirked, "You love me for being a pervert for you." and raised his eyebrow with a cocky expression.


    Suddenly the two people heard a voice, "I was told that the young god of war was busy and diligent in his duties. Now, however, I might have to re-evaluate you."


    You Xi Wang was slow to react due to his injury. Maya stood up in front of you with her fangs bared at two figures who descended from the sky.


    Yuki bowed her head as she said, "I have seen the two elders. I will now take my leave." she ran away but not before cursing You Xi Wang with a soul message.


    You Xi Wang stood up with a sunny smile and bowed to the twodies. "I have seen elder Victoria. Disciple You Xi Wang greets Martial Aunt."

 Chapter 270: Progress.

    Chapter 270: Progress.


    The twodies nodded, but the smile on Animo Albus''s face vanished, she asked, "What happened to your hands?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Umm, that Master Aunt. I used a weapon and channeled the spirit energy through my body. So the neurons are burnt. But they will recover in a few minutes. Hehehe..."


    He was just praying silently to the gods that thisdy does not report to his sister. Or he will be scolded. Fenny walked over with Maddison and greeted twodies. Then the former said, "Elder, you please pass this to Big Sister when you leave. This bastard breached his promise. This is why he is injured."


    You Xi Wang spoke in a weak voice, "My mother, please stopining. Big sister will get hurt. I do not want her to worry too much for me. If I did not take the shot the situation would have been worse."


    Fenny snorted and stood there silently. Animo Albus said, "Alright, do not quibble. Tell us about the ruins."


    You Xi Wang reported to her about the situation and thew wielder. The two elders focused on the direction they were told. They were shocked to see ady sitting there inside a seal. Animo Albus was fine but Victoria trembled.


    Animo asked, "What is it?" her voice was cold as usual. Victoria spoke, "Does she not look like Senior Lilian?"


    Animo was shocked, she gazed at thedy and her reaction was the same, she mumbled, "To think, all this time, she was defending against the dark in this ce."


    You Xi Wang heard the murmur. He silently told Fenny to leave. Then he asked in a low voice, "Elder, who is this senior? I know that her codename is The Widow."


    The two people snapped their necks in his direction almost instantly. They asked him just one word, "How?"


    You Xi Wang bit the bullet and said, "I used a wisp of my soul force to enter her soul sea forcefully andmunicated."


    The whole area echoed with a shout of three women, "WHAT???"


    Animo Albus spoke in rebuke, "How dare you be so reckless? What is she corrupted your soul? What of the dark energy destroyed her? Ignorant disciple. Kneel for me."


    You Xi Wang was bitter and kneeled. He still mumbled, "I pursue thews of Soul, you know. I have some knowledge." his remark made the three freeze. Never has anyone perceived thews of the soul. The reason was that their soul was not strong enough.


    How could this guy practice soul? You Xi Wang knew they wanted to know how he could practice soul. So he said, "My cultivation method helps with it passively. You cannot learn."


    After all, he could not just tell him that he is a traverser. Only his sister knew about it but she epted him. Animo sighed, "Book really found a monster."


    Victoria sighed and said, "Tell me the situation of senior Lilian."


    You Xi Wang wanted to stand up but Maddison pressed his shoulder down. He winced and his teacher said, "You look adorable down there. Otherwise, I can call You Zhichi for you."


    The boy sighed and said, "Well, her consciousness is healing bit by bit. The process is slow but also risky so I just hope that you guys do not go inside the formation doom, also, Master Aunt. Help mey down a level 8 purification array. That will help seniors to get rid of that dark energy faster."


    Animo nodded and said, "Well I will help you. It will take a few hours toy down the formation. In the meantime, recover, also, Commander Maddison, you are to follow me. I will need you to lead me around the parameter they set up."


    You Xi Wang said, "Master Aunt, you should take Gena and Issac along with you as well. They know the parameters and the arrayyout. It was they who helped mest night."


    Animo nodded and turned to Victoria, "You should stay here to keep an eye on Senior Lilian and this guy. He is not to stand up till his hands are back to normal."


    Thetter only smiled at her. Animo took away Maddison, leaving You Xi Wang and Victoria on the spot. Warring Forces head asked, "Tell me how did you get injured exactly?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and revealed the Gatling cannon from his space array and said, "I shot this thing six times."


    Victoria was stunned. She asked, "You are a human right? What is inside that brain of yours? How did youe up with a weapon of this size? Also, exin to me how does it work and what is it called." excitement was apparent in her voice. She was a weapon fanatic.


    You Xi Wang discussed a lot of things with her and the time gradually passed. After half an hour the system returned to his soul sea and said, [Yo, thedy is getting stronger. The pace of her recovery is improving. Also, I am not good at consoling people so you need to do that bit by yourself, and also, the core is affected by the dark shit. I did not take the risk.]


    The boy nodded, ''Good, I will look into that. Also, help me heal my neurons faster, I have been kneeling for almost 20 minutes.'' his voice was aggrieved.


    The system chuckled and started to heal his hands. You Xi Wang suddenly turned his gaze to the spirit dome and muttered, "Elder, the moment the purification array starts can you please wake me up? I need to heal my arms fast."


    Victoria nodded and sat down in meditation. She watched as the groups of the children ahead were standing guard against the spirit dome. She nodded in appreciation, the squad he created has exceeded his expectations. Also, everyone in his squad has stepped into Primal Soul Realm. She did receive the reports but in the reality, this was even fantastic to see.

 Chapter 271: Igniting The Darkness.

    Chapter 271: Igniting The Darkness.


    While Victoria was busy admiring the Wrath Squad. Amino Albus was being led by Maddison Midnight, Issac, and Gena. The four people moved very quickly. Animo was surprised by the number of arrays all over the edge of the spirit dome.


    She spoke, "How many armies were you guys facing? So many arrays?"


    Gena replied, "Elder, the squad leader was paranoid that something unexpected might happen so he had all the things prepped in advance."


    Animo shook her head and said, "Too much paranoia, I guess."


    Issac spoke, "Elder, there were at least a million zombies. All capable ofpeting with a peak primal soul realm cultivator. We all were just early-stage ones. This much preparation was necessary for the safety of the squad and the others on the epoch base. We barely managed to get through." his words were all based on facts.


    Animo did not expect the situation to be this dire. Maddison asked, "How did you gauge the fighting ability of those zombies?"


    Issac replied, "Neo was scouting one time and he wanted to know how capable is the enemy. His physique is as strong as a mid-level Primal soul. Still, he had to take Marks''s hand to capture one zombie. I hope you know how good of a fighter Neo is. None can match him except for You Xi Wang."


    Maddison nodded in affirmation, she knew how big of a freaks these five students of hers were. While the four wereying down a purification array. You Xi Wang was healing his hands in silence. The system was quite efficient at dealing with such situations. The recovery rate has shot up and You Xi Wang could now at least gained some senses in his hands.


    The neurons were all healing and at this moment the system spoke, [Get ready, the purification barrier will start and you will need to go inside the barrier on your own. Your control is not good enough for a five kilometer long soulmunication while trying to dispell the darkness in her heart as well.]


    You Xi Wang agreed to this.


    ...


    Two hours passed and You Xi Wang stood next to Yuki. He said, "I will be going inside to talk to that senior. Do not worry, I will be fine."


    Yuki sighed and said, "Can you stop asking me to do something that is not possible? How can I be at ease when you deal with danger at such a close range? Also, you bettere back soon, there are things you need to know. It is very important. Get it?" her tone was stern. As if a mother guiding a child.


    The boy nodded as he heard hermand. He was also very reluctant to go inside and y with his life but what else could he do? Someone had to take the risk, so why not him? Animo Albus returned. You Xi Wang walked over to her.


    She said, "The array will start when you want. Tell me what is the next n?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and bit another bullet, "Soulmunication with her. To awaken the sleeping soul and also purify the darkness in her body."


    Animo Albus scolded, "Are you crazy? Do you know what that means? You will have to enter her soul sea. Even if you practise the soul cultivation you will be extremely vulnerable. Do you want to die so badly?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "IF you do not face the darkness, it overwhelms you. One needs to go inside the dark room to lit up amp. This is the same. Do not worry, nothing will happen to me." with that said he started walking towards the spirit dome.


    Animo Albus said, "I will tell Zhichi about this." her voice was ice cold.


    The boy chuckled, "My sister may cry, she may be angry at me. But she will be proud that I did this for a greater cause. She is my sister. She is YOU ZHICHI. Do not underestimate the resolve of your disciple master aunt. She is even more stubborn then me or youbined." he made a symbol with his fingers and opened a gateway in the spirit dome.


    After walking in he closed the gateway, and started walking towards lilian. Animo Albus could only grit her teeth and start the purification array. She scowled, "Everyone get back five meters, you are not to enter the array now."


    The array would purify the spirit energy. It was as if a disinfectant against the dark energy. Anybody inside this array until they know how to get by will be weakened by just standing near the array circle, let alone being inside. You Xi Wang was a grade seven array master. He may not be able to deploy an array but his knowledge was enough to find his way to Lilian without being weakened.


    The zombies inside the array all started wailing and Lilian too. Her dark form was being attack from both inside and the outside. You Xi Wang asked the system, ''How close do I need to be?''


    The system replied, [1 kilometer.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and sped up his steps. Quickly he reached the distance system told him. From this ce he could use his primary soul tomunicate with Lilian. The reason for this was that the system was someone very bad at expressing emotions and console people. While You Xi Wang''s primary soul was heaven made for this sort of task.


    He sat down on the ground and his soul travelled to the roaring Lilian using the same method as the system did.


    Inside her soul sea, the scene was as if a light at the end of a tunnel. You Xi Wang did not wait and started moving towards the light. His speed was as if a sports car was driving across the track. As he got closer to the light he saw that the shape of the blob of light was getting clearer.


    It was as if Lilian herself was sitting inside. You Xi Wang stopped at a distance from her soul and spoke, "Are you angry that you could not save the people with you? Are you angry that you had to leave your family?"

 Chapter 272: Igniting the darkness (2)

    Chapter 272: Igniting the darkness (2)


    Yang Dao started speaking. He wanted to wake up Lilian with not much of an interference. Lilian was a senior and the darkness inside her was too strong. If the boy tried to meddle too much it will be a problem for him. There was a risk for the dark energy to start destroying Lilian''s body from inside using thews of darkness.


    He did not want that to happen. He was trying to save thedy not kill her. Only when she is awake can she drive away from the darkness from inside her bodypletely. You Xi Wang asked, "How can you sleep before your task isplete? Wake up there are people who await your return. Wake up, do you not hate yourself falling weak in front of the darkness? Stand up, only you can avenge yourself."


    He spotted Lilian''s eyes flicker, so he eased up. After a few moments, the flickering was getting stronger, so You Xi Wang spoke, "Senior, none has forgotten your sacrifice. They all remember how much you gave up for the sake of humanity. Just wake up once and then you can rest, we youngsters will bear the torch now. We willplete the task you picked. Just stand up once, senior." his voice was soft and warm.


    It was as if a stream of warm water washing over an ice block, slowly cracking and melting it. Lilian''s soul avatar opened her eyes. Even when her soul avatar fell asleep it did not vanish. She gazed at the young boy in front of her. She said, "Are you the one who was talking earlier?" her voice was mellow.


    You Xi Wang nodded and bowed a bit to greet her. He said, "Wee back, Senior."


    Lilian said, "What wee? I do not know how to deal with this dark mess. Until even a particle is inside, it will overwhelm me." her tone was helpless.


    The boy smiled and said, "Senior, focus and do not give up. Now I will channel my spirit energy to you. I will then purify this dark energy inside you." his words shocked thedy she did not expect him to take such a risk.


    While he was channeling his spiritual energy inside her, at the same time the dark energy inside her can evade his body as well. She was moved that this child was willing to take such a risk for her again and again. Although her soul avatar was asleep. She was sure that he was the one who guided her earlier as well.


    You Xi Wang smiled as he calmed his mind. His body emitted a spirit energy rope. The rope materialized in the air and everyone on the outside could see the golden rope. They all sucked in a cold gasp a breath when they understood what he wanted to do. Yuki was as anxious as an ant on the stove.


    The spirit energy inside him became a rope then, the rope wrapped around Lilian''s body but did to affect her. He separated the spirit energy into fine needles inserting inside every pore present in the body. He left only the nasal cavity to stay open. He was very meticulous, and as the needles moved inside her meridians.


    The system was boosting You Xi Wang''s control and the needles did not hurt Lilian at all. The physical body was infiltrated by the dark energy. The boy first had to clear that to get inside the soul sea. The dark energy has infiltrated to such a limit that the internal organs except for the heart were all covered with it.


    The hoy spirit energy evaporated the dark energy with ease. After clearing the meridians, You Xi Wang shifted his attention to the organs of thedy. This was a difficult part. You Xi Wang spoke inside the soul sea, "Senior, I apologize in advance but it will be painful."


    Lilian chuckled, "I have been in pain for 98 years. Come on. I can take it."


    You Xi Wang felt upset in his heart and started to clean up the organs. The process needed him to invade the dry organs with his spirit energy and wash them through. It may seem easy but the pain was too much. He started with the lungs, then intestines, followed by kidneys and in the end liver, pancreas, stomach, and gall dder.


    His forehead was now zed with sweat. If not for the fact that, battle suits keep your body perfectly moistened his suit would have been filled with sweat on the inside. He was almost drained at this moment. He controlled the spirit energy to move towards the soul sea. But he stopped just before entering it.


    He said, "Senior, I will now enter your soul sea. Please lend me a hand." he was tired and could not get inside without her help. She had a strong defense erected after the dark energy inside gained sentience. That is when it started to try and eradicate her consciousness.


    Lilian spoke, "Very Well." she took a deep breath and let go of the restraint on her soul sea. You Xi Wang had a soul force barrier around her soul sea to stop the dark energy from eloping. This dark energy inside had a consciousness of its own. Thankfully it was not inside Lilian for 100 years.


    Every 100 years spirit energy inside a person will gain a qualitative change. If there is another sort of energy inside the body, that will gain sentience as well. At this moment the dark energy was as strong as that of a teenager. But It will grow into an elder''s in just two more years. Don''t underestimate it. Even something as wise as a newborn can make people go mad and sumb to the darkness in just a few moments.


    You Xi Wang, used his spirit energy to infiltrate the soul sea of Lilian and the dark energy started to protest. But it was helpless in front of the holy spirit. It was the bane of dark creatures. The young god of war was not going to be easy on such a parasite as well. He started to refine the dark energy slowly and smoothly.


    Lilian was not sitting ideally she used her strength to push the dark energy towards the holy spirit wisp. The system spoke, [The efficiency is low. Let me help.]


    You Xi Wang had no qualms about that. The system moved the spirit energy inside Lilian''s soul sea in such a manner that a twister was created. It did suck all the dark energy towards it but it did not hurt Lilian in any manner.


    ...


    Animo Albus gazed at the boy sitting on the ground covered in sweat. Then she gazed at thedy some distance away from You Xi Wang. Thedy''splexion has now improved and a constant stream of ck smoke was visibleing out of her nose. Animo sighed and said, "This freak pulled it off. Just a little more and things will be fine."


    Victoria nodded. Suddenly the ground tremored. They all focused on the source of the tremor. Before Victoria could pass on amand. She heard a loud shout, "SQUAD UP. RETREAT TWENTY METERS MAINTAIN FORMATION."


    The squad replied, "AYE."


    They saw the whole squad form a circle and move back. Themand was issued by Fenny. Just as the squad moved back to the point ofmand, in their previous spot the ground cracked and a lot of bugs swarmed out.


    Fenny spat, "Grade two alert, Fire at will."


    The squad started to rain down phaser beams on the small crevice. Maddison asked Fenny through thems, "What is this?"


    Fenny replied, "Dark trash calling for help. Next up is a demonmander. You have to handle that teacher. We are tired and need to conserve."


    Maddison did not have the time to ask when a loud roaring minotaur came out of the crevice. It had a battle-ax in its hand and it roared, "Filthy fleshlings. I will..."


    Before it could make a promation. Fenny cut it off, "Yeah, yeah, you will strip off our skin. Thest 300 of you also said the same thing. Teacher, kill him, please. I might puke from the smell of this cattle shit."


    Maddison was already on it. The battlested only 5 minutes. The demonmander had nothing to do but wait for death as Maddison took a shot. She can bepared to the god of ughter.


    Just as the minotaur fell, Lilian let out a roar. She opened her eyes and a ck ink-like substance flowed down from her eyes. This substance was the residue of the dark energy in her soul sea. This substance was wriggling towards You Xi Wang.


    It wanted to invade You Xi Wang as he kicked her out of Lilian. But was it that easy? As soon as it reached five meters near You Xi Wang. The ck substance suddenly flew up in the void and around it appeared a ball of golden runes. A roar echoed in the void, "NOOOO"


    The runes were spirit runes. Stronger than arrays. You Xi Wang had mastered 3 levels of this lost knowledge thanks to the spirit scroll Gena shared with him. As the dark substance vanished. You Xi Wang opened his eyes. Lilian was already standing on her feet. A little wobbly but yeah she was standing.


    She walked over to him slowly and sat down on the ground in front of him. She said, "So, you are the light at the end of the tunnel?" with a smile.


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head and said, "Senior, my girlfriend will have my skin if you tease me like this."


    The two people chuckled together...

 Chapter 273: Pranksters.

    Chapter 273: Pranksters.


    When Animo Albus saw the two people chuckling together like old friends, she shook her head and said, "Let''s go, Victoria, senior Lilian is now fine."


    At this moment, Victoria had a wonderful expression on her face. She could not get herself to believe that what happened in front of her was real. She muttered, "This brat is a monster."


    Animo Albus let out a rare chuckle as she said, "You realized it only now?" she dispelled the purification array and walked inside the spirit dome.


    You Xi Wang had Mayae out of the shadow and sit beside the two people. They were both not any powerful than a normal body formation cultivator. Lilian was drained of spirit energy while You Xi Wang was drained from curing her.


    Lilian asked, "Say child, who is your master?"


    You Xi Wang replied respectfully, "Senior my master, you may not know. But my grandmaster you would. My grandmaster is Animus."


    Lilian had a surprised expression on her face. She said, "You mean that odd guy, what was he called, um the mentalist?" seeing You Xi Wang nod, she sighed, "No wonder you were so good."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Senior, I have been wanting to ask you a question. If you don''t mind."


    Thedy nodded with a faint smile, and let out augh when she heard You Xi Wang''s question. The boy asked her why she was called the widow.


    Sheughed for a bit and then said, "I was called the scarlet widow. I got this name because when I used to fight even if it was my husband against me, I will beat him to the pulp. So your grandmaster one day said, that I will be the widow one day if I did not learn restraint. Thus the name."


    You Xi Wang nodded just when he was about to speak more, Victoria and Animo arrived. The twodies bowed to Lilian as they said, "Junior(s) greet senior. Wee back."


    Lilian smiled, "Thank you." then she had a surprised expression on her face as she watched Victoria and Animo for a bit. Pointing at Victoria she said, "Are you not that old hag Waseer''s disciple?"


    Victoria nodded and said, "Yes, senior, I am Victoria, Grandmaster Waseer is my master." her words shocked You Xi Wang.


    He asked, "Do you mean, chess god Waseer?" his eyes were almost out of the socket.


    Victoria nodded at him with a smile. She was quite happy to see You Xi Wang''s reaction. Lilian pointed at Animo and said, "Your master is Animus?"


    Animo nodded as she said, "I am the eldest disciple of Animus. You Xi Wang is my disciple nephew."


    Lilian nodded. She mumbled, "I saw you, almost a century ago. Good girl."


    You Xi Wang covered his mouth with his hand as he nced at Animo. Lilian asked, "Child, are you okay? What happened to you?"


    The boy said, "I did not expect my master ant to be a century-old antique." his tone was filled with disbelief. His words enraged Animo. Just as she was about to scold him, the boy fainted. Maya let out a sad growl.


    Lilian asked in a hurry, "Is he okay? What happened?"


    Animo checked his pulse and said, "He is okay, just the soul force and spirit energy are over-drafted. We should get back to the base."


    Victoria supported Lilian while Animo carried You Xi Wang. The two glided over the surface like specters, and they came out of the spirit Dome. Victoria said, "Commander Maddison, arrange for a surveince squad to relieve these kids. They have done too much."


    Fenny spoke up, "Report, suprememander." she spoke with a salute and used Victoria''s official rank to address. Thetter nodded to the girl.


    Fenny said, "Thank you for the concern, but the squad is well-rested. We would like to clean up the rest of the zombies." her voice was firm and did not waver.


    Victoria nced at the squad standing behind her in rapt attention. She saw the determination in their eyes. Finally, with a sigh, she agreed, "Very well, but you are to exercise caution."


    Fenny replied, "Aye, Supreme Commander." Yuki stepped forward and walked up to Animo. The elder understood her intent and handed You Xi Wang to her. Victoria did not have any opinion. Yuki called Shadow out of her shadows and said, "Go scout the way back."


    Her night hound was just like her in front of the outsiders. Cold and indifferent. After a nod, it vanished. Maddison stayed behind to watch over the wrath squad until the deputyes back. Yuki carried her beloved on her back and walked forward. Maya was in front of her.


    After a few minutes, Animo asked, "Why are we walking when we can fly?" The three seniors were confused as well. Yuki replied, "This ce generates spirit energy because of the world array. Today You Xi Wang used that monster weapon. He drained 70% of the spirit energy present here. It will take a few hours to recover. So walking is better, it reduces the load on the world array."


    Animo was surprised that she as an array master forgot this basic info, but a junior like Yuki remembered it. Suddenly Lilian asked, "Child, who is Tamaki Kinben to you?"


    Yuki was surprised, but then she replied, "Great granduncle."


    Lilian said, "That is why you carry a Katana insignia." this was lore on Metropia, known to only a few people. The Kinben family was small now, not over 100 people but in the old days, their strength was world-renowned.


    Yuki nodded again, with no change in her expression. Lilian spoke in a soft voice. "Did that old man not tell you all about me?"


    Yuki replied, "He told us you were a great heroine and sacrificed yourself. But he also hated himself for being the weaker one and not being able to follow you." her voice did not change.


    Lilian asked again with her red eyes, "How is he now?"


    Yuki replied, "Waiting in seclusion. The moment he breaks through to the peak of Nirvana rebirth realm. That is when he wille looking for you."


    Lilian finally could not help but let some tears fall. She spoke in between her sobs. "I thought he would be gone. This old stuck up."


    Yuki spoke, "The Kinben, don''t take over one wife. Even if she is dead, they will live with her memories, waiting to meet them in the afterlife." her voice softened a bit.


    She continued, "Great Grandaunt, the one who saved you, is your nephew-inw. This guy is a skirt chaser."


    You Xi Wang suddenly sat up. "Hey, I am not a skirt chaser, okay beauty yu. They just go bonkers on your husband''s charm." he realized what he just did. He jumped off Yuki''s back and ran ahead at full speed.


    Lilian was shocked, Animo and Victoria were shocked as well. Yuki asked, "Did he say something mean to you guys inside the spirit dome? To think you fell victim to his trickery." the ice demoness smiled like a beautiful flower blooming in the desert.


    Lilian forgot her pain and chuckled. Victoria also started chuckling, while Animo said, "Just wait till he gets to Chi''er. I will have her straighten him up."


    Yuki shook her head and said nothing at all. The four people continued walking back to the base.


    ...


    Back on Metropia, the array hall peak. The pce on top of the deste mountain was filled with a lot of movement now. In the past six months, a lot of students capable of array science had surfaced and were taken in by this ce. They were all taught about the art of spirit arrays and stuff.


    On the highest watchtower, Animus sat in meditation. He suddenly let out a chuckled. Startling two girls who were reading books in front of him. One girl spoke in a low voice, "Lily, what do you think happened this time?"


    Lily shook her head, said, "Probably found a lost screw."


    The old man stoppedughing and said, "You little devils. still making fun of the old man. If not for Chi''er''s sake, I would have spanked you both."


    Lily hid behind Celestia, but thetter raised her head high. She spoke in her bell-like voice, "Dare you. I will tell grandma Animo, and then I will shave your remaining hair as well. Humph. Let my big brothere back. I will tell him how you captured us."


    In the past six months, these two little fairies have stayed in the array hall. They have learned the theory knowledge of a fifth-grade array master. They were geniuses. What was more terrifying was that they set up illusion arrays around the students in the hall. In the past six months, except for You Zhichi, almost everyone has suffered in their hands.


    Even the grand elder, the mentalist, Animus. These two even came up with a way to break his mind-reading. Whenever Animus looked at them, they would let go of the restraint on their thoughts and let them wander freely. If the person himself doesn''t know what they were thinking about, how could someone else do? They made a bet with Animus about this and won.


    Animo Albus was the witness and since he lost, he lost half of his beard as well as half the hair on his head. To think they were so terrible that even Animus was like a child to them. But You Zhichi punished them and made them read books here so as they do not trouble the other students.


    Lily asked, "Why did you chuckle now?" Animus told them about You Xi Wang''s adventure with a sigh. The two devils immediately became tamed. Well, You Xi Wang was their poison. You Zhichi suddenly came over.


    She listened to this all in silence. When Animus was done she said, "Grandmaster, Master sent a new. They wille back ahead of time. In a week probably. Celes, Lily, your brother wille back as well. Are you happy?"


    The two girls smiled brightly and danced but they did not reply to her. Giving her the silent treatment for punishing them, for being smarter than others.

 Chapter 274: Exploration.

    Chapter 274: Exploration.


    It was morning when You Xi Wang and the others returned to the base. The ruin was now open for exploration. This privilege belonged to the squad who made the discovery. You Xi Wang Wang called Issac, us, Gena, and Yuki. They were in charge of teams to explore the ruins. Along with Fenny.


    Only she was brainy enough to coordinate every one of them together. You Xi Wang shoved everything over to his friends because he was reaching the peak of his middle level of Primal soul. He needed to go in seclusion. He distributed the tasks to the people and came to themand center.


    He walked inside and saluted. Lilian, Victoria, Animo, and Maddison were all here. You Xi Wang spoke, "The tasks have been distributed. The squad has been dispatched again."


    Maddison asked, "Why did you not take charge yourself?"


    The boy replied, "They need to grow. I cannot do it for them all the time. Don''t worry they will be fine. Fenny is with them. Also, I am reaching a breakthrough. I need to go in seclusion. Will take some time."


    Animo nodded, as she spoke, "You seclude on the airship then. We will be leaving when your squad returns."


    You Xi Wang nodded and after a salute, he went to the ship.


    ...


    Near the ruins, the squad was posted on alert. Issac spoke up, "Boss, we found the entrance. Seems like we will have to go underground."


    Fenny was looking for the entrance in some other area. The ruin was very big and vast. She said, "Wait, We all enter together. In case you find any other entrance. We five head inside. The rest guard. If you find a new entrance you tag it and guard it."


    The channel rang out with a yell from the squad. The people did not question, they would just follow the instructions. Because these You Xi Wang and Fenny had earned this obedience. Soon, Fenny and the other four gathered.


    She said, "Let us go. The time is short and we do not know how much time it will take to get out and explore it properly. Do not let the guard down. We don''t know what we may encounter."


    This was not enough for them she had Maya, Shroud, Luna tag along with them. Night hounds had the sharpest instincts so they could be of help if they are in danger. Since the beasts were going in. The humanpanions cannot be left behind. This may expand the size of the team by two but it was fine. An was a medic now, and Neo was a scout.


    The six people entered the ruins. The inside was all dark. It was under the ground after all. Neo was in the lead. He switched on the light on his battle suit. In an instant, the surroundings lit up. He said, "You guys switch on the lights. The darkness is too dense here."


    Fenny and the others started the illumination array on the mask and the area lit up brightly. The team found them themselves in a dark dusty corridor. Issac said, "This area has not been entered for centuries."


    An spoke, "Don''t be so sure if they left human warriors to guard here and they were corrupted by the dark energy. We will be in a bind."


    The others nodded. Fenny spoke, "Gena you take the second point with me. Yuki and Issac in the back. An in the middle and us in the back. Okay?"


    "Aye." everyone nodded. The team started moving ahead.


    ...


    The speed was slow and steady. Neo was able to sense a lot of traps but still, some of them were solved by Gena. The Night hounds cleaned up some guard zombies. An predicted correctly. There were indeed some guard forces left by the predecessors. Although the strength was not strong now. The numbers would have overwhelmed them.


    Maya led the hounds very gracefully. If You Xi Wang was the leader of the humans then his beastpanion was the leader of the beasts. Her control over the beasts was so strong that even the naughty Snowke would be disciplined.


    Two days have passed since they came inside the ruins. They finally reached a big door. Gena nced at the door and said, "This is probably the vault storage. But we cannot open it."


    us asked, "Why? Is it some array?"


    Gena shook her head and said, "This is a spirit rune formation."


    Yuki asked, "What is the difference between them?"


    Gena exined to the team, spirit runes were as the name suggested, were runes made of materialized spirit energy. These designs were more like puzzles. While spirit arrays were arrangements of spirit stones.


    To solve an array you need to find the root node and then take it away before triggering the array. But a rune was different. One was needed to solve the puzzle but channeling spirit energy inside the rune in a certain manner. After listening to the exnation. The team had a somber mood. us asked, "You Xi Wang cannot open it?"


    Gena shook her head, "I don''t know, but this spirit rune formation is above my grade. As for him? I don''t know how far he is in this knowledge."


    Issac spoke up, "We did not find anything else. This room is the only ce that has not been invaded by the dark creatures. Let''s head back and report it to Master."


    The rest nodded and walked back to the base with the squad. The ruins were left to guards, and Fenny set up some surveince equipment as well. When the squad reported the situation back to the elders in themand center.


    They were all praised, finally, Victoria spoke, "How about we call for Senior Animus?"


    Animo shook her head and said, "No. Master is almost ready for the breakthrough. He cannote here. I have some knowledge of the spirit runes but after looking at the recording these kids brought back, all I can say is we need someone who has a talent of grade six spirit runemaster. That we may not be able to find so easily."


    Gena spoke up at this moment, "Report."


    Victoria nodded to her, and the girl continued, "Elder, my ancestors were runemasters. So if we can reach my hermit ancestors to see if they can help us."


    The threedies had their eyes spark up. Animo nodded as she said, "The day of ancestral assessment is close. We can try. You all pack up. We are going back home. You have a month to strengthen yourself as much as you can. The only way we can get the ancestors to help us is to pass the trial and visit them."


    Fenny asked, "Elder, where are the ancestors. All we know is that they are all in seclusion."


    Animo and Victoria exchanged a nce, then Lilian spoke, "Come on, these kids have been working very hard, you can tell them about this." her voice was cheerful, she has been resting and cultivating in here, recovering her vigor.


    Animo nodded and said, "The ancestors of every family. When they reach a certain age and are unable to seed in their cultivation base. They all then go to a in our sr system. This is called, Inja. A ce where all the ancestors practice in seclusion. The reason they go there is so that they can detach themselves from the world and focus on cultivating. Humans only have these twos under them. The rest is uncharted."


    She paused and Victoria continued, "The ancestors will only act when their families are in mortal danger. Thest time when You Xi Wang dealt with Colts, their ancestors tried to act but then the council reported to them about the reason. That is why it is a rule to not harm the innocent in wars. So, every 100 years there will be an assessment by the Ancestors. Those who pass can go to Inja for training. For your information, Inja is 10 times as big as Metropia, so a lot of ces are uncharted yet."


    Her words excited the five people. Fenny said, "When will we go back home elder?"


    Victoria smiled, "Tomorrow, now you guys rest and clean up."


    The six people nodded and left the base. Lilian spoke as they left, "How is You Xi Wang doing?"


    Maddison replied, "He is immersed in cultivation, elder. It will be a few days before he wakes up."


    Thedy nodded and said, "This kid is very strong. Maybe he can do what nobody did."


    Animo shook her head and said, "This time, the ancestors will be surprised. Senior, this boy is a freak of nature and if you visited his family you will be shocked by the ways they follow."


    Lilian asked, "What do you mean?" she was curious to know.


    Animo smiled and said, "Senior, this boy has made amendments in the families. They all follow ancient ways of cultivation. Not only that. He is also a business tycoon. The weapons and things you see around all are invented by him and his friends. The stagnation of Metropia came to an end because of him, though indirectly but he is the pioneer of the new age of our home."


    Her words carried the pride of a Master Aunt. Lilian was surprised pleasantly and said, "Well, that is what I expect from my grandnephew-inw."


    Her words triggered a peal ofughter among thedies.

 Chapter 275: Perfect Soul.

    Chapter 275: Perfect Soul.


    The wrath squad was busy packing up stuff and clear the barrack when suddenly the whole starry sky was covered with ck smoky clouds. Victoria asked, "What is this phenomenon?"


    Animo was about to say something when Lilian said, "Heavenly Tribtion."


    Her two words shocked the twodies. Animo asked, "Senior are you sure this is a heavenly tribtion?"


    Lilian spoke, "This ce is surrounded by a world array. The array is abination of spirit runes and spirit array. The ce where the array was arranged has been long sealed by ascended Mortal Realm Seniors. It is impossible for it to malfunction."


    Animo Albus and Victoria both fell silent. Lilian was at the peak of Nirvana''s rebirth realm and her knowledge was much profound than these two. Maddison walked inside themand center with a sullen face. She said, "Elders, You Xi Wang is out of his seclusion."


    The threedies suddenly jerked their heads in her direction. Maddison sighed as she nodded. The threedies all teleported outside the base and located You Xi Wang. At this moment the boy was sitting on a rock with his legs crossed and eyes closed. Just when they were about to move towards him. A Cerulean Blue figure appeared in front of them.


    This figure was just like You Xi Wang. The boy smiled and bowed, "Junior has seen the seniors."


    Animo Albus spoke, "Did you reach the peak of primal soul realm?"


    The cerulean figure was You Xi Wang''s soul avatar or should I say, one of his soul avatars. The boy nodded as he said, "I don''t have much time left, the tribtion is here for me. Well, you see, my soul is a bit different."


    Suddenly in the void, four more figures appeared. All in different colors. Lilian spoke, "Five elemental soul avatars?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and replied, "Yes, when I reached primal soul realm, I assimted all the elements in my soul sea with my primal soul infant. Butter on, I survived a tribtion. Then to refine all the elements I split my soul avatar into five and refined them to the limit. The environment here is based on a world array but the spirit energy quality is very pure. As it is refined by the world array. Now that I want to merge my soul back. The heavens will try me. After all, my soul will be a pure spirit soul."


    Lilian nodded, she said, "How confident are you?"


    You Xi Wang smiled but did not reply. The reason was that if he replied that he was confident the tribtion will be more intense and if he said he had no confidence then his dao heart will be problematic


    Thunder sounded, the boy bowed and said, "I will go, the tribtion is here." before the threedies could say anything. The five soul avatars flickered and appeared over You Xi Wang. The five looked up at the ck clouds. The violet-colored soul avatar spoke, "Better go together. Soul tribtions are different."


    The rest nodded and held each other''s hand. Soon a golden lightning whip formed. The whip snapped out at the five soul avatars.


    <em>Snap!!!</em>


    The bolt fell between the five soul avatars. The five figures trembled but survived. They channeled the impact of the lightning among themselves. Refining it in an instant. The energy in the heavenly bolt was thus diffused and digested making themselves strong. The thunder clouds rumbled loudly. <em></em>


    The aqua blue You Xi Wang spoke, "Seems like we still made it angry."


    The vermillion soul avatar spat, "This bitch is angry at anyone who breaks themon sense." Then it raised the eyes to the sky and said, "Fuck you."


    The heavens did not like it and suddenly a streak of lightning stronger and thicker than before fell on the vermillion You Xi Wang''s head with a boom. The figure trembled and shook violently. They channeled the energy among them and dispelled the impurities they had left inside their soul avatars. After the refining and purification were done the five figures shone even brightly. Their colors be more vibrant and mesmerizing.


    The three elders at the side were shocked. Animo said, "Book found himself a freak of nature."


    Victoria nodded and said, "He may be a monster as you say he is but, the tribtion is getting stronger and stronger. I do not know how much more it will continue for."


    Lilian at the side spoke up, "The next strike will be twice stronger than thest one. I hope he can hang in there." her words had just dropped when suddenly the thunder clouds started to rumble again.


    A lightning strike as thick as a human thigh started to gather up in the sky. Suddenly the lightning streak moved and struck You Xi Wang''s soul avatar.


    The Cerulean guy said, "Back to back? Easy to defend and easy to defend and easy to merge back."


    The rest nodded and stood in a back to back over You Xi Wang''s head. The third strike shook them all, the impact was so strong that it made the avatars bend down a little. It took them a few moments to stand up straight. Below, You Xi Wang''s body was covered with sweat as it shivered slightly.


    It may be in form of elemental avatars, but it was his soul nheless. The impact did affect him. The pain as the avatars channeled the energy of the tribtion among themselves, almost made You Xi Wang kill himself and the pain grew with every strike significantly. They did not had the time to rx when the fourth streak started to condense.


    The vermillion colored You Xi Wang said, "Guys, hurry up to start merging, this is not giving us any chance. We cannot hold on at this pace."


    Before they could think of anything else, the five avatars were struck by the fourth strike. The impact was so strong that the elders watching from the sideline took two steps back. Lilian spoke, "This is too strong of a trial."


    The other two only nodded in silence. At this moment, You Xi Wang''s soul avatars were all kneeling on the ground around You Xi Wang. The system was still residing inside his body. It said, [Pathetic excuses of souls, get your asses together. I did not sign up to be your baby sitter.]


    The five soul avatars were all the split ups of his primary soul after all, hearing these words they all stood up with gusto. They all said in unison, "You blob of gas. I will show you who is running the shots here. Fucking side kick."


    They all stomped on the ground and flew up in the sky. Animo albus watched the scene and said, "This is like a spirit array. Only when the avatars are in a sync will they able to merge."


    Lilian said, "This is not as simple as a spirit array. Achieveing a synchronization with your own soul is even more difficult than that. It is more like a spirit rune. Only the unison of human and spirit will allow him to seed." her tone was heavy.


    You Xi Wang''s soul avatars all raised their hands together pointing at the thunder clouds. They all waved their hands. The fifth streak of lightning, struck down at this moment.


    <strong>BANG!</strong>


    The five soul avatars flew away due to the explosion. The physical body shook and coughed up a mouthful of blood.


    "Xi Wang." at this moment a cry echoed.


    The elders saw Yuki standing below on the ground, behind her stood the whole wrath squad. The ice-cold girl was about to rush over when Lilian flew up to her and held her in a embrace. She said, "Calm down, child. He will be fine. Trust him."


    The soul avatars stood up staggeringly. They glided over the ground and slowly came together. They all raised their hands and waved them in different directions. In the sky, a golden light appeared. The clouds rumbled, the sixth streak of lightning started to condense.


    Victoria asked, "What is he doing?"


    Animo Albus replied, "He is drawing a spirit rune in the sky. This way his soul will be in sync."


    As the hands moved the lightning thickened. The system spoke, [You have one shot at this. Or you will be anhited.]


    The soul avatars did not bother to reply, at this moment the full focus was at the spirit rune in the sky. The lightning shed but the soul avatars did not waver at all and kept on working on the spirit rune. Everyone held their breaths. Some even closed their eyes.


    The lightning shed, it fell down on the spirit rune. The whole surrounding lit up with golden light. The re made them all squint their eyes or even close it. Itsted for several minutes before it slowly vanished. Animo Albus opened her eyes when she sensed the golden light vanishing. She would never forget this sight in front of her eyes.


    A golden figure stood in the void with it''s hand extended towards the lightning falling over him. The next moment the figure snapped his fingers, streak of heavenly lightning suddenly vanished. The golden figure was You Xi Wang''s soul after merging together. He attained the perfect soul.

 Chapter 276: Back Home.

    Chapter 276: Back Home.


    In the sky, the tribtion clouds dispersed and the golden You Xi Wang''s figure contracted. It reduced to a size of a rice grain and it descended back to the ground. The folder grain merged itself between the physical body''s brows.


    The boy opened his eyes slowly with a golden flicker inside them. He took a deep breath and stood up from the rock. Gazing around he saw the wrath squad and Yuki being held by Lilian. He smiled at them and waved slightly. Yuki broke free from Lilian''s embrace and ran up to You Xi Wang.


    The first thing she did was to p the boy across his face,


    <em>SPLAT!!!</em>


    She scolded in a loud voice, "You fucking maniac. What will I do if something happened to you? How will I face the others when I go back home? You pussy, wants to be strong and stronger. Do you even care about us?..."


    Her ramble went on and on when suddenly You Xi Wang kissed her rosy lips. His arms hugged around her willow waist. The frost covering Yuki''s heart melted from the warmthing from You Xi Wang''s body and breathe. The crowd shook heads at this scene.


    Lilianmented, "Control yourselves, you two." her tone was helpless. She did not imagine these two to kiss.


    You Xi Wang broke the kiss, only to hold the melted Yuki in his arms. He raised his head to Lilian and gave her a silly goody smile then he said, "She would have scolded me for ages if I had not kissed her, senior."


    Thedy shook her head. These two were hopeless. The girl buried her head in his chest and the guy yed a hooligan. Yuki just hid her blushing face in his chest. The boy said in a low voice, "Beauty Yu if you did not walk, I will have to carry you. That would be more PDA you know?"


    Yuki punched his chest lightly andined, "Who asked you to kiss me? You rogue."


    You Xi Wang smiled and replied, "Huhuhu, I kissed my beloved. What is so shameful about that? Let''s go. These old relics want to ask me a lot of things."


    Yuki nodded and broke away from him. She took out her battle suit mask, covered her face, and walked holding You Xi Wang''s shirt. The boy greeted Lilian, "Good to see you active again Senior."


    Lilian nodded at him with a smile and asked, "If I am not wrong you are already at the peak of Primal Soul Realm?"


    The boy nodded. He said, "Ick the knowledge ofws, or would have stepped over already."


    Lilian tried to contain her surprise when she stood in front of a 17-year-old Peak Primal Soul expert. She then nced back at the squad, every one of them was not over the age of 21. Thedy took in a deep breath and said, "Younger generation is really ferocious."


    The wrath squad shouted in unison, "Congrattion to the captain for sessful breakthrough."


    You Xi Wang arched his hands and bowed slightly, as he said, "Thank you." his gesture was returned by the squad. Animo Albus and Victorianded beside him.


    Victoria patted his back with a heavy hand and said, "Brat, you scared us all."


    You Xi Wang could only return a sheepy nce to her. He did not know how to answer her question. Animo Albus asked, "What was that rune you cast in the end?"


    The boy replied, "I don''t know. I felt a resonance when the soul synchronized. It was as if a melodic instruction that was guiding me. So I followed the instructions. That is all."


    His answer made the elders fall into thought, while inside him the system said, [Yeah, I am a heavenly deity, who guided a pissant child. Hahahaha.]


    You Xi Wang snorted in his mind, ''Shut up, you stinky blod of smoke. Your days are numbered.''


    The system bantered with him. VIctoria said, "Well, this is fine. You are blesses as it may seem. Also, this is the first time someone went through a tribtion at your level. This news is to be sealed. Do you understand?"


    The people present replied, "AYE, SUPREME COMMANDER."


    The squad was then led back to the base. Maddison came to congratte You Xi Wang. Yuki was present at that moment. She noticed something the others did not. As Maddison was going back Yuki caught up to her.


    You Xi Wang meanwhile cleaned up his room. He did not know what the girls were talking about, stored all his stuff in a space ring and walked out. On the way, he visited the old man in Western forces. He gave him a map of the western side of the dark sites. This map marked the territories he has cleared in the past. The rest of the three sections were also recorded in a map and were handed to Deputy Commander Riaz.


    Maddison was also to go back to Metropia. She was assigned here to lead the students in the wrath squad. But to think that she had nothing to do at all. This result was not expected. Though as the teacher of the captain under her, she did get some credit. The squad was well greeted by everyone before they got on the airship with the elders.


    The ship had a standard sitting arrangement. use asked, "What will you guys do when you get home? I will go challenge my grandpa."


    Everyone told their wishes. Some said, they will visit their friends and hang out. While some said, they will sleep for two days straight. Various people had various wishes. Soon, it was You Xi Wang''s turn.


    The boy sat with his hands crossed, he said, "First, Senior Lilian, what would you like to do?"


    Everybody neglected Lilian. She was an elder, that is why the squad was a bit hesitant to interact with her andter on the excitement of returning home took over them. Now that You Xi Wang asked, they all realised that the elder was also stuck in this montonuos ce and her situation was even more dire.


    Lilian herself was surprised that You Xi Wang asked her. She sighed and said, "I have an old husband waiting to fight with me. Probably will tie me up."


    You Xi Wang said, "Granduncle Kinben is into S&M?"


    Lilian was shocked, then she let out a peal ofughter. Soon everyone else startedughing as well. What nobody realsed was that You Xi Wang was quite. He did not want to say that when he reached home. He will go to visit his parent''s grave.

 Chapter 277: Missed.

    Chapter 277: Missed.


    The journey waspleted in a blink. You Xi Wang kept up the pretense and engaged in the jokes and games yed by the squadmates. Soon the airshipnded down at the airport in the imperial sector. The crowd disembarked with the discipline. Lilian was looking around like a child because a lot of things have changed ever since she was left stranded on the moon.


    The squad waspletely excited. They were received by the war god, Achilles, himself. Alester Book was also present. You Xi Wang looked around and did not see his sister. He felt heavy in his heart, controlling his emotions, he shouted, "<strong>Squad attention.</strong>"


    The whole squad suddenly followed and instantly stood up in attention. You Xi Wang spoke, "<strong>In the past six months, we overcame a lot of tribtions and we have faced a lot of dangers. I am grateful to you, for supporting my temper and my decisions. If I hurt anyone of you. I apologize.</strong>"


    With these words, he bowed towards the squad. The squad did not expect him to do such a thing, but none of them spoke a single word. us smiled and bowed back, as he said, "We thank the Captain for leading us."


    The whole squad followed, "<strong>We thank the captain for leading us.</strong>"


    You Xi Wang raised his head and said, "<strong>BEWARE OF THE WRATH.</strong>"


    The squad replied, "<strong>WE ARE THE WRATH.</strong>"


    After a salute, the boy issued thestmand, "SQUAD DISMISSED."


    The squad greeted the elders and slowly dispersed. You Xi Wang came to Alester Book and kneeled. He touched his forehead to the ground and said, "Unfilial discipline You Xi Wang, greets master."


    Alester Book raised him and patted his shoulder heartily. He said, "Good boy, you have done a good job. Come, you rest in my quarters."


    You Xi Wang said in a low voice, "Master, I would like to meet my family."


    Alester Book was stunned and then nodded, "Go, take the airship."


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Airships are slow. I can just shadow skip. I will reach by the night." Alester Book smiled and nodded.


    He said, "Go, be wary on the road."


    The boy nodded and vanished from his spot. Yuki said to Lilian, "Grandaunt, you can go to the family. I will go to Silica City first." before thetter could reply she also vanished from her ce. The rest of the phantoms also flicked and vanished.


    Lilian was surprised, she said, "My grandniece left me alone as to chase after her boyfriend." Gena was standing with Shelton Hammer said, "Master, Disciple would like to go to silica city as well. I have a lot to learn."


    The elder nodded in daze and Gena turned to Maddison. The two then took an airship to Silica City. Shelton Hammer nced at Alester Book and said, "Old Book, your disciple sure knows how to take away priced jewels."


    Alester Book on the other side just smiled happily. As they were bantering, they saw an airshipnding in a distance. The hatch opened and a beautiful girl wearing a white dress stepped out. Both her hands held onto the hands of two little girls.


    The girl was You Zhichi. The two little girls in her hands were Celestia and Lily. The two girls nced around curiously. They walked with a skip in their step. Suddenly Celestia and Lilly waved at Animo Albus, they shouted from a distance, "Granny Animo." their cheerful voice brought a smile to all the elders.


    Animo walked forward and patted them both on their heads as soon as they arrived. You Zhichi bowed and said, "I have seen Master and the elders."


    The two little fairies also followed her ways and bowed. They stood behind her obediently. Lilian asked, "Who is this, youngdy?"


    Animo Albus replied, "She is my disciple, You Zhichi. That freaky brat is her younger brother. The two little fairies are Celestia and Lily, her righteous younger sister and niece, respectively." thedypleted the introduction.


    You Zhichi calmly greeted Lilian and talked to her. Celestia and Lily exchanged a nce and tugged on her dress gently. The former blinked at them, and they calmed down. Victoria asked, "Celestia, Lily, how old are you two?"


    Lily replied, "Six years and three months."


    Celestia replied, "Six years, eleven months, and twenty-nine days."


    Their voice and temper were calm. The elders were surprised. Before they could say anything, Animo said, "They are cultivating under master''s instructions. They have self-proimed that brat as their master. Even rejected my master for him, can you believe it? Don''t underestimate them. They are already grade-five array masters."


    The eyes of the few people were about to drop out of the socket. Animo asked, "Didn''t Mastere with you?"


    You Zhichi held her forehead in her palm, she said, "He wants to stay in istion for the next one month."


    Alester Book asked, "Why so suddenly?"


    The celestial maiden shook her head and said, "He made a bet with these two kids, and lost." she immediately covered her ears.


    "WHAT??" the group of old people eximed together. Celestia said with a snort, "Humph, who asked him to be overconfident?"


    Animo Albus asked, "What was the bet, Celestia?"


    The girl replied, "He said, he will read our minds this time. If he was sessful then we should acknowledge him as our master. He lost." she spoke as if it was pre-determined.


    Animo asked, "What if he lost, Lily?"


    Lily replied in a soft voice, "We shaved his remaining half of hair. And he is not allowed to use recovery array."


    The elders were gawking. These two girls were just too gutsy, but then again, they were just adorable. Finally, Lily asked, "Granny, where is Xixi?"


    Alester Book replied, "He left for Silica City." and this triggered a wave of ruckus and snorted from the two girls. They did not lose their images but they med You ZHichi for beingte and making them miss You Xi Wang. They even said that she was busy covering her wrinkles.


    The heavenly maiden bid farewell to the elders and took them to the Silica City in the airship. The elders allughed as they saw the scene. These two little goblins were very adorable and funny.

 Chapter 278: Reunion.

    Chapter 278: Reunion.


    You Xi Wang ran through the shadow restlessly. Behind him, the other four followed. They did not talk to him, as they were able to see the restlessness in his eyes. It was very rare to see this boy like this. He would seldom let out his true emotions. Yet ever since he passed the tribtion, they were able to sense his difort.


    The distance was long but their speed was fast. Shadow skips were faster than the airship. It was as if a wormhole in the fabric of space and time. Within two hours, the teampleted half a journey. Yuki spoke up, "Xi Wang, slow down, what happened to you?"


    You Xi Wang only replied, "I cannot slow down, Yuki. You guys take a rest. I need to get back home ASAP. Please."


    The other four knew his heart. Normally, he would never leave them behind. But today, he did not stop for even a second, that meant he had something on his mind so they carried on following him. They might have a single attribute physique but still, they were not weak. Traveling through the shadows took a big toll on the spirit energy inside them.


    But the reason they asked for a rest was to not overwhelm them. It will take them only thirty minutes to reach Silica City at this speed. The spirit beasts were also a bit tired. Well, You Xi Wang did not stop but he still slowed down a bit for their sakes. This showed that he still cared for their well-being.


    ...


    In the airship, Celestia and Lily kept walking to and fro. You Zhichi said, "My two lovely deities, can you stop strolling like this? I feel anxious."


    The girl stopped and snapped their heads in her direction, with a squinty re focused on her. The celestial maiden flinched a bit. She knew that now she snared the beehive. Celestia said, "Tell me why are we like this?"


    You Zhichi replied, "Because we missed Gougou?" her voice was low.


    Lily sighed as she spoke, "Aunt, you know Xixi would have felt pained when he did not see anyone receive him at the airport?" her manner was that of an elder.


    You Zhichi nodded, Celestia said, "Well, it is not your fault. You were also busy with the Array Hall duties. It is all the fault of that old man. I will shave him bald again."


    The three girls werete due to You Zhichi. She was now the head of the array hall, grade 7 array master, while Animo was not present she was the one who called the shots. This was the reason she waste in the morning. Celestia med Animus for this, now the old man would probably cry to these two little fairies.


    ...


    Array Hall, the high tower.


    Animus sneezed, the old man looks in the direction of the ship as he caressed his now clean shaved face and bald head. He said, "I am not letting these twoe back in the tower."


    ...


    You Xi Wang reached the Silica City, he did not slow down anymore he rushed at full speed. With no care in the world. In fifteen minutes, he was already standing at the cemetery entrance. Behind him were his friends. He walked in slowly and steadily. The mood of the group was calm and peaceful.


    The boy located his parent''s grave. He saw that it was clean and well kept. Still, he waved his hands and cleaned the graves one more time. This was just for the sake of his own peace of mind. He knelt in front of them and said, "The child hase back to see you, Mom, Dad. Sorry, I did note before, I was out of town. I hope you two are doing well. Also, I miss you a lot. You Know mom, I was not at home on my birthday, I missed your scolding a lot." his tears fell without even noticing.


    Suddenly he choked on his words. Yuki and the rest also had tears in their eyes. They all knew how much You Xi Wang loved his parents. How his mom would alwayse to see him off for any big events, how his dad will discipline him with a warm smile when he was being naughty. They all could still experience all this but this boy could not.


    You Xi Wang took a deep breath and continued speaking, "You know dad, I killed over a million dark creatures on my own. I won glory for the family. I became the youngest god of war ever on the..." he kept talking to the gravestones telling them his adventures and achievements. He even spoke of the setbacks he suffered.


    He let out everything inside his heart. Unknowingly he fell asleep in front of the ground after he was done speaking. This was his first sleep in the past six months. He would always be half asleep in the base. This time he let go of all the vignce. This was his real nature. He always cared about his parents whether it was this life or the previous one. In his life on earth, he did not see off his parents as they passed away and shunned them off due to his self-pity and shame.


    Maya emerged from his shadow and sat down beside him on guard. The other four did not disturb him as well. They all sat down in four corners around him. You Xi Wang would always be like a shield to them. On the battlefield, You Xi Wang saved them a lot of times. Especially Neo who always fought in the front.


    ...


    You family mansion, a gray airship docket to the port, and You Zhichi came out with Celestia and Lily. They were received by the family with big smiles on their faces. You Naixin and the elders were not present at this moment. They were all outside handling their businesses.


    You Zhichi asked the man in front of him, "Big Brother Shan Wang, did gougoue home yet?"


    This man was You Shan Wang, their eldest cousin. The man was shocked to hear her question, he shook his head and said, "No, he did note yet. Is he back from his expedition?"


    You Zhichi pondered for a bit and said, "I am going out." with that said she flew up and vanished into the sky.


    The people were left nk in this situation. They were all worried by You Zhichi being so restless. They all woke up when Celestia said, "I cannot wait to fly."


    Lily nodded and said, "Let''s go, Xixi wille to call everyone to wee him."


    Celestia smiled and the two girls left after greeting everyone present. You Shan Wang watched them skipping away with a smile on his face. He made a call to You Naixin and the rest of the family telling them what he just heard. As the family prepared for You Xi Wang''s return. His sister flew to the cemetery.


    ...


    The four people sensed someone approaching them at a high speed they stood up with their weapons ready to tackle. Soon they saw a figure wearing a white dress, slowly descending on the ground. The people rxed. You Zhichi walked over to her brother whoid on the ground, sleeping on the hard floor.


    Yuki used a soul transmission, "He did not sleep well for 6 months. Came here and finally let go of the burden in his heart."


    You Zhichi smiled faintly she replied, "I knew he would be here. How have you all been?"


    The five chatted a bit when suddenly Maya stood up. She licked You Xi Wang on his cheek. The boy sprang up and took out his spear as he gazed around in confusion. He heard a soft voice, "Gougou."


    Only then did he regain his consciousness. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Ummm, why did you guys not wake me up?"


    You Zhichi did not reply but walked forward and hugged her brother. You Xi Wang took back the spear and child his sister tight. The two people who have never been away from each other finally met after six months. They both shed tears on each other shoulders, You Xi Wang said, "You will..."


    His words were cut short by his sister, "Yeah, I know. I don''t mind turning old, brat. Also, why are you not groomed?" their mother always asked them to be groomed. You Xi Wang at this moment was dusty and unkempt.


    He said, "They did not give us much time out there. How is everyone?"


    You Zhichi said, "You will know when you go home." after a few minutes, the two separated and paid respects to their parents. You Xi Wang said, "I did not tell anyone, but during my tribtion this time, I felt as if dad and mom were the voice in my head. That is why I could gain Sync."


    His friends nodded but You Zhichi grabbed his ear and twisted it, she asked, "What Tribtion?"


    You Xi Wang begged her as the four people chuckled at the scene.

 Chapter 279: The Kings Return.

    Chapter 279: The King''s Return.


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi dropped the other three people home. They all were capable of flying so it did not take much longer. The siblings, however, did not fly back home but walked. On the way, they talked a lot.


    The younger brother talked about his adventures and difficulties in the Lost sector. The elder sister spoke about the experience she had when dealing with the array hall responsibilities. Her exnation had moreic incidents thanks to the two little girls. When You Zhichi told him how the two girls even shaved the grandmaster. You Xi Wang almost face nted, what he did not expect was that the two girls even wanted him to be their master.


    The boy saw no problem in it. He decided to ept them as disciples when he gets home. Amidst the chatter, two humans and one wolf walked back to the family mansion. Maya has missed the secr world as well and she was curious about it. Well, she was half snow hound so you can call her an ambivert. Sometimes she wants to indulge and sometimes she doesn''t.


    The pedestrians saw a boy in his battle gear and a girl in a white gown, with a beautiful white wolf walking around them, they could not help but click pictures and post them on the metro frame. You Xi Wang looked handsome while the girl was impably beautiful and the beast just added a different charm to the picture.


    ...


    At the doors of the You Family mansion. Two girls were chattering endlessly.


    "Aunty Tong, you ced it wrong..."


    "Sister Jilian, your hairpin is out of order..."


    "Mom, when did you be such a clutz..." and many more. The two little figures wearing a white dress were Celestia and Lily. They had their hair done in a side bun. The rest of the family was asked to wear the dresses in a traditional code. The two girls mobilized the whole family, somehow, toplete the decorationspleted.


    Suddenly both felt a warm embrace around their waists, and a very familiar voice rang in their ears, "What is going on here my little fairies?"


    The girls froze. They turned their head to see the person who hugged them. Then they both started crying in unison.


    You Xi Wang was flustered, he did not expect them to cry so suddenly. He spoke in a warm voice, "Okay, okay, calm down now. I came back after such a long time is that how you will wee me?"


    The two girls just snuggled in his arms and sobbed, when the family members inside saw him standing there. They all lined up and bowed to him as they shouted, "WELCOME HOME YOUNG MASTER, WELCOME HOME YOUNG MISS."


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi stood side by side at the entrance as the family greeted them loudly. The master and guardian of the family have finallye back home after six months, this was an asion for them. The two were also very happy toe back home as well. You Xi Wang was about to take a step inside the mansion grounds when Lily spoke, "Xixi, we made a special arrangement for you."


    You Xi Wang asked, "What is it, Lily?"


    Celestia calmed down and said, "You first change our attire, take a bath if possible, you smell. Then youe inside. You will know then." her sweet voice made the boy smile heartily. He missed these two girls a lot.


    He replied, "Okay." he ced the two girls on the ground. Waved his hand and cast a level four illusion array. His actions surprised everyone, even You Zhichi was surprised, pleasantly. She did not expect her brother to learn insta-cast.


    Inside the array, You Xi Wang used his spirit energy to wash his hair with a foam shampoo, shave the stubble on his face. The boy then wore a white and ck outfit like those used in ancient martial dojos. He let his hair loose. Then he waved his hand and dispelled the illusion array. He crouched down in front of the two girls.


    He asked, "Now, my little fairies, do I smell now?"


    The two girls shook their heads and hugged him hard. He picked them up in his arms and asked, "Now what is so special."


    Lily shouted, "YOU FAMILY, WELCOME YOUR MASTER." her sweet and loud voice echoed throughout the mansion. The people all stood at the two sides of the walkway from the entrance of the mansion to the gathering hall. They all held their weapons high and gave him a guard of honor.


    You Xi Wang was surprised at this arrangement. He shook his head with a smile, his eyes were a little red. You Zhichi patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Go, or do you want them to keep waiting."


    The boy nodded and walked into the mansion. He greeted every single family member inside the family. Half an hour, it took him half an hour to reach the gathering hall. You Xi Wang ced the two girls on the ground before entering inside the hall. As soon as he took a step inside. His body radiated the aura of Peak Primal Soul.


    Ten elders stood in front of their chairs. They all smiled and bowed to him slightly. You Xi Wang walked up to the throne chair. He sat down and his sister sat down beside him on the Guardian chair. The elders all greeted in unison, "Wee home, Young Master. We home, Young Miss."


    You Xi Wang spoke, "Take a seat."


    The boy cast a nce on the doors and waved his hands. He was now at the peak of Primal soul realm. He could move objects remotely, that were much heavier than the door. He said, "I summon you all to the Gathering Hall."


    Soon, the people started to flock in. The whole family was invited inside the gathering hall. From elders to the kids. Even Grandma Cotton came today. The reason was the words used when You Xi Wang called them. He used the term ''Summon''. His voice was not loud at all but it covered the whole mansion.


    The first elder stood up and gave his chair to Grandma Cotton. You Xi Wang nodded at this behavior, seems like the family values are still exitent. The boy said, "I call you all here today, to say that I am grateful. I am grateful to have you all as my family, I am grateful that in my absence you all held the family together."


    He stood up and bowed to the family members. Everyone else also bowed back to him. You Xi Wang spoke, "What I am about to say may sound like I am running away from the responsibilities but I seek your forbearance and understanding. In a few months, our family will be visited by a Nirvana Rebirth Elder. This elder could be anyone, from anywhere on the. Their goal? Test the youth of the family, everyone below the age of twenty will be tested. Those who seed will get a chance to meet the ancestors of the family and seek guidance from them."


    Hearing his words, everybody gasped. They did not expect You Xi Wang to bring back such a news. The began to murmur with each other. You Xi Wang said, "Silence."


    The people quitened down. The boy continued, "I will not be taking up any other responsibility in the family. That will all be looked after by the elders."


    The elders all bowed and said, "We ept."


    You Ziyou gazed at his grandson and asked, "Young Master, will you be going into seclusion?"


    You Xi Wang nodded as he replied, "I will be going into seclusion, and all the youth will follow me along to a secret ce. I will train you all personally. If any of you have any fears then you better stay here. I will not go easy on anyone. I won''t let you die but yeah some of you may hope for death once you start to train with me. You all have one week. One week to decide what you want. Do you want to stand among the heroes of the world? Or do you want to be among the masses?"


    Then You Xi Wang continued, "Celestia, Lily, Come forth."


    The two girls walked forward, and came to the center of the gathering hall. They were calmer then even the teenagers. The boy cast a nce at the two dolls and asked in a softer tone, "I heard that the two of you want to acknowledge me as your master?"


    The two girls nodded. You Xi Wang gazed at them, he sensed some hesitation. He asked, "Why do you hesitate?"


    Celestia replied, "If I became your disciple, I will not be able to call you Big Brother."


    Lily nodded as she stood beside her, her mind also had the same doubt. You Xi Wang replied, "Then how about you two be my secret disciples? Like secret weapons. You can call me Big Brother and Xixi like you do always."


    The two girls looked at him with confusion. They turned to You Zhichi and asked, "Is this possible?"


    You Zhichi smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, it is possible. Do you two want to?"


    The two girls did not say anything but kneeled down on the ground, and kowtowed to You Xi Wang as theirsweet voices rang out, "Disciple(s) greet Master."


    You Xi Wang said, "Stand up, you do not need to serve me tea." his face was filled with smile. He walked up to them and said, "The meeting is dismissed. We hold a feast at night."


    The family all bowed to him, as he left the hall, holding the two girls.

 Chapter 280: The Tyrant.

    Chapter 280: The Tyrant.


    You Xi Wang held Celestia and Lily by their hands as the three people walked outside the gathering hall. He asked, "How have you been in the six months?"


    The girls replied, "AWESOME" in unison. Their bell-like voices made You Xi Wang smile wide. He asked, "Except for the first realm of body formation and grade five array mastery what else have you learned?"


    Celestia replied, "Granny Qingling''s Medicalpendium." while Lily replied, "Technological Level One."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Let''s go, you need to learn how to fight as well. Come, we go to my room."


    The boy led them to his room. Emily was waiting for him anxiously there. She rushed up to hug him and her eyes became wet. She missed him a lot. Although they conversed in mails, she sent to the lost sector but they all did not know the location of the ce. Even You Zhichi was not privy to that location.


    Emily spoke, "Young Master, I missed you a lot." her voice was shaking, evidently she was sobbing.


    You Xi Wang patted her back twice and said, "I missed you too, Emily." Celestia and Lily looked at them and sniggered.


    Emily blushed and hid her face in You Xi Wang''s broad chest. The boy smiled and shook his head. He asked her about her well-being, her cultivation progress, and other things. Turned out that Emily stepped into the early primal soul stage, her spirit attribute was water like You Zhichi earlier but she told You Xi Wang that she went out to the Flora Sector.


    There she came across a weird fruit. She stored the fruit and after some training showed it to You Naixin. The two found no news about the fruit so they showed it to Mu Qingling(MC''s maternal grandmother), who told them that the fruit is a variation fruit. It is one of the rarest spirit fruits and thus once eaten, it will change have the spirit root mutate with no side effects.


    The elders of the family gave the fruit to Emily, After all, she found it herself. After eating the fruit Emily can now use two elements, water, and earth. Although her control over the earth element is not very goodpared to water but it is still enough to take the enemy by surprise.


    You Xi Wang chatted with for two hours before Emily went away to prepare for the feast. The boy now focused on the two girls in front of him. He asked them a series of questions and then gave taught them the basic stances of martial arts.


    He did not teach them the conventional martial arts but the things he had in his mind from the earth. JiuJitsu, Taichi, Karate, Taekwando, Kri Payattu, etc etc, He also told them different ways to use the spirit energy. This is a world of the cultivation and using spirit energy to make the attacks using spirit was also necessary sometimes. But since the children were only in the body formation realm now they were just given the theoretical knowledge.


    ...


    After finishing the lecture, he sent the two children away andid down on his bed. He sighed and fell asleep slowly. He woke up around half an hour when he sensed Maya move. His room was pushed open and a girl walked inside timidly. Maya stood up when she saw her, walked to the girl, and rubbed her head against her legs.


    You Xi Wang raised his body with his elbows and said, "Petra, why are you standing there?"


    The girl who entered the room was Petra. She was called over by Emily, just now it was the other girl who pushed her inside the room and left to make arrangements. She was cold and indifferent to the others but to You Xi Wang she was a paper girl, shy enough to break at a touch. Watching You Xi Wang raise himself to nce at her. She could not hold it in anymore and rushed to the boy.


    She hugged him and held him so tight as if he would vanish any moment. You Xi Wang, did not say anything but held her in his arms. Petra mustered up all her courage and said, "I love you. I know you would leave more but at least give me something like you gave to sister Susan."


    You Xi Wang froze, but the girl climbed up the bed and started kissing him. What happened next was too wild. Maya went back to the shadows. She came out of the shadows outside the room, guarding the door. She was more mindful than these two horny people. Imagine if You Zhichi or an elder opened the door with special ess and walked in on the two humping on each other.


    ...


    Inside the room, You Xi Wang was a restless warhorse while Petar was won over after the first battle only. She was helpless in front of this beast. He was holding up for the past six months, and Petra just ignited him up with that kiss. After the third battle, the warhorse stopped, Petra was quick enough to ask for aid from her allies. The closest one was Emily.


    ...


    Emily was busy with the decorations when she received a message from Petra. The message was, "HELP ME." unaware of the situation, the girl made an excuse and rushed to You Xi Wang''s room. She found Maya outside in a guarding stance. Maya also nced at the human, she stood up and took three steps away from the door.


    Her meaning was clear, ''GO IN, PETRA IS AT HER LIMIT.'' this was what Emily interpreted. She opened the door and walked in. When she saw two human bodies clinging to each other as if snakes wrapped up together, she was surprised. But her surprise turned to shame when she gazed at You Xi Wang''s spear standing in full glory.


    Below the boyid, a wounded Petra. The victim of the war cast a nce at her and raised her hand. You Xi Wang the tyrant followed her hand and his eyes lit up.


    Emily turned back and wanted to rush out but it was toote to retreat. The tyrant moved on her and another crusade began. All the pent-up frustration gushed out after repeated battles. Petraid on a side as You Xi Wang conquered Emily. Soon Emily also gave up.


    Susan had returned from work and Maya let her pass as well. This knight did not shy away from the battles and the two sides fought valiantly. In the end, You Xi Wang emerged victoriously. As he gazed at Emily whoy among the fallen enemies. He felt guilty. His lust had taken up his mind. He picked up Emily in his arms and said, "I am sorry, I did not ask you for your consent."


    Emily chuckled and said, "I am d you did not or I would not have ever agreed. I am a scared cat you know. Also, a lot of girls do it alone, I am the first one to do it with my sisters. Probably."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, he felt guilty regardless. Petra sat up slowly, she said, "I am guilty of calling you over but I felt as if I will die if he kept on."


    The boy was embarrassed. Susan came to his rescue, "Oie on it is not as if only he enjoyed." her words made the two girls turn red. What she said was indeed true.


    Susan said, "Xi Wang,e. Let us teach the kids what is actually the limit." her sultry voice made the tyrant stand up again. A new war was waged in the room.


    ...


    In the guest hall, You family mansion.


    Yuki sat down in the middle of two elderly people. Behind them stood her parents and a young boy. Across her sat, You Ziyou, Chen Qianbei, You Naixin, and You Zhichi.


    You Zhichi was serving the tea as Chen Qianbei said, "We are honored for the two seniors toe over here personally. I have sent someone to call over You Xi Wang. He is resting after such a long time away from home. I seek your understanding."


    The two elders were Ryuken Kinben and Lilian. They came here to express their thanks to You Xi Wang. As for the boy standing between Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma, he was called Alec Kinben. He was the adopted son of Ryuken. He was a decent-looking man. At this moment his brain gears were turning very speedily.


    ...


    You Tong ran to You Xi Wang''s room, under Chen Qianbei''s order. She saw Maya outside and said, "Maya, let Xi Wange to the guest hall. There are important guests, also tell him that Aunt Qianbei came. She calls him out."


    Maya nodded and delivered a spirit message. You Xi Wang has just finished his crusade and wasyingzily among the three women when he heard the message. He jumped up and rushed to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he came out with his wet hair and was jumping up and down while tying up his shoes. He said to the girls, "You guys rest I have to leave."


    The three replied to him with a humm. The boy ran out like a bullet.

 Chapter 281: Monsters.

    Chapter 281: Monsters.


    You Xi Wang ran through the shadows and appeared in the guest hall. He had a smile on his face. He bowed to the guests and said, "I have seen Senior Lilian and Senior Ryuken."


    He nced at Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma and said, "You two are my parents-inw. Why are you standing?"


    Ushijima Choma smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, how do we sit in front of our elders?"


    The boy smiled and shook his head as he replied, "You don''t sit in front of them, but beside them, Mother-inw. Also, I can arrange for a smaller seat for you."


    He gestured to a maid, who immediately arranged three wooden chairs beside the couch. These chairs had a slightly slower headrest to the couch. Under his insistence, the people sat down. Ryuken Kinben took the lead to speak, "Master You, I have to thank you for rescuing my wife from the turmoil in the lost sector."


    You Xi Wang sat down between his grandaunt and aunt. He smiled and shook his head, "You glorify me in vain senior. I am not that great. I only did what I felt was right." his tone was calm and neither too humble nor too arrogant.


    Ryuken Kinben asked, "What do you mean?"


    The boy replied, "It is not a secret anymore that I practice in the way of the soul. I sensed her consciousness struggling at that moment. Otherwise, pardon me for being rude, I would have in her regardless of the cost. I will not let Darkness breed in my presence."


    His words were strong, they turned the atmosphere tense slightly. Alec Kinben spoke up at this time, "What if it was your sister or any other rtive?"


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow, Chen Qianbei, and You Naixinpletely sensed the killing intent radiating from him. It was overflowing, even though the boy controlled it. He gazed at Alec Benjamin and said, "Not only, me but my whole family. I will not hesitate to kill them if I cannot save them from the dark path."


    Chen Qianbei said, "I can take a blood oath to verify your doubts, Mister Alec."


    Alec nodded and said, "It seems you are worthy to have a rtionship with. I propose that..."


    Ushijima Choma intercepted his words before it was toote, "Brother, I warn you. You better think over what you are to say next. I or my husband will not support your words." she paused and turned to You Xi Wang and said, "Whatever happens next, it is not rted to me, my husband and my daughter, Xiao Wang."


    The master of the You Family blinked and cast a gaze on Alec''s face. Thetter had just opened his mouth and was about to say something when You Xi Wang spoke, "Don''t say it. You want my sister to marry you? You ask her. If she rejects, then you better stay silent for the rest of your life about this matter. I will not spare your face. In my family, women are not assets or chips of a bargain."


    Lilian frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, what do you mean?"


    The boy replied, "Your son was about to propose marriage to my sister, senior. He intended to form a marital alliance between the two families." his tone was calm.


    Lilian was very well aware of his background so she asked, "You mastered Mind reading?" her words made the people surprised.


    You Xi Wang nodded. He had no fear in letting them know about his skill. This way they will fear him more. He was good to his family but the people who looked down on him were all decided to be paid back in full.


    Lilian nodded and said to Ryuken Kinben, "Since when did your family started to treat women as a chip of bargain?"


    Ryuken shook his head and said, "I am not aware of such practices. I spend all my time without you in practice."


    Lilian snorted at his excuse. Ryuken was helpless, he frowned and said, "Alec, what you said is true? The family practices such a policy?" his upset tone was evident.


    Alec hesitated and nodded. He said, "Our family is shrinking in the past few decades so This way we could gain some more members and the forces will grow." he spoke with confidence thinking that no one will reprimand him.


    Lilian did not stop. She had no affection for this guy in her heart, "Do you take women for a child manufacturing nt? Is that the reason why the house was overflowed with toddlers and newborn kids? Shame."


    Alec just bowed his head and had no retort. After a few seconds he still said, "Okay, I swear that if You Zhichi marries me, I will not take another wife. I will be solely loyal to her. How about it? Will you marry me now?''


    You Xi Wang did not reply just said, "Chichi, you follow your heart. Don''t worry about anything else." he spoke as if he was the older brother.


    You Zhichi smacked the back of his head in front of everyone and said, "Brat, I am the hall master of Array hall, be respectful." she was not disrespecting the master of the family but was telling Alec Kinben indirectly that she will not agree to him.


    She nced at the man in question and said, "I will not marry, not only you but anyone. Before you ask me the reason, I will answer you. It is not your business to care about me or my thoughts."


    Alec was mesmerized by her beauty, he did not want to give up so easily. He said, "I am a middle realm Primal Soul Cultivator. I also have a grade 3 array master badge. I know alchemy. I am not a shallow man as well. Why do you not agree? Please at least give me a reason."


    You Zhichi did not smile, she did not think this man was worthy to see her smile. She said, "My brother is 17, he is the youngest God Of War in the world, he has awakened his martial spirit. He is a grade 7 array master, also known as the Maestro and Pioneer in the world. You must be aware of Tianlong Group? He is the CEO. Now let''s talk about me, I will be 22 in a month, I am at the peak of Primal Soul Realm, I have awakened my martial spirit, Grade 8 beginner array master. The hall master of Array Hall. A force that even the council of metropia pays face and respect to. CFO of Tianlong group. I don''t want to sound disrespectful, pardon me for saying this, but I have worked so hard that this arrogance is what I deserve. I don''t want to marry, that is a choice I made when I was a child."


    She paused and was about to continue when Celestia and Lily rushed over. They greeted the guests, watching the tense atmosphere Celestia spoke up, "Big brother, a youngdy called, Gena Langford came with your teacher, I have them in the second guest hall."


    You Xi Wang was confused and asked, "Why did theye?"


    Yuki spoke up for the first time, "I called them. I will go and attend them." she stood up and was about to walk away in a hurry when the cup of tea in her hand spilled some drops over Lilian''s silver-colored robe.


    She apologized, "I am sorry, grandaunt." she tried to wipe it off but the robe was made of cotton, it was already stained.


    Lily walked over and said while blinking her beautiful eyes, "Yuyu, I can clean this up."


    Yuki shook her head, thinking that the girl was trying to console her, but the next second, Lily took hold of a spirit stone pendant and drew a pattern over the stain. The pattern glowed and the next moment the stain vanished from the robe.


    Everyone was shocked, the seniors, especially. Yuki asked Lily quickly, "Sweety, How did you do that?"


    Lily said, "Big brother taught us about elementary spirit runes." her casual words made all the gazes focus on You Xi Wang.


    The boy replied, "What happened?"


    Lilian asked, "Did you took them as your disciples? How did these kids learn the spirit runes so fast and so quickly?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Yeah, they are my disciples, as for the runes, well I was teaching them some basic things such as weapons and martial arts when it came to me. So I tried to draw a rune with the spirit stone. Coincidentally it worked. They wanted to learn so I directly used Soul Impartment. I did not expect Lily to learn so soon."


    Celestia said, "I learned it too. But I don''t understand one thing, why is it so simple? I found alchemy harder than this. Big brother, you have to bring me harder knowledge to learn or it is no fun."


    Lily nodded like a chick beside her. You Xi Wang said, "Good, we start tomorrow."


    You Naixin grabbed his ear and said, "You monster, let my children be humans. Don''t make them a copy of yourself."


    At this moment, Alec Benjamin was doubting his life. ''What are these people?'' he thought secretly.

 Chapter 282: Unexpected Visit.

    Chapter 282: Unexpected Visit.


    You Xi Wang sat looking at the people. Alec Kinben was downhearted. He did not expect this family to be like this. Yuki went to attend to the two guests. Celestia and Lily sat beside You Xi Wang. Ryuken Kinben said, "Your sister already introduced us to your capabilities just now. But I still want to ask you a question."


    The boy nodded and said, "Please go on senior."


    Ryuken asked, "How many women you have. Will you be caring enough for our Yuki? How do you assure us that she will not suffer after marrying you?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I cannot assure you that she will not suffer after marrying me, but I can assure you that the cause of her suffering will not be either me or my family. As for the women I have, they all treat each other as sisters. I do not intervene among them and I treat them equally."


    Ryuken was surprised to see the boy being so frank to him. He couldn''t help but ask, "Why do you not fear me?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Only those who have a hazy heart fear. I don''t have a hazy heart so I do not fear you. Also, that is just the reason, I think should matter." he again made the old man stumped for an answer.


    Ruken spoke, "Very well, then. Master You, I shall leave now. You also have other matters to attend to." he was about to stand up when You Xi Wang spoke up.


    "Elder, please stay here. Give us a chance to host you. The family is nning to hold a celebratory feast in the evening. We will be honored to have you and senior Lilian attend the event." his tone was humble.


    You Naixin also spoke in to make the effort look sincere. Lilian nodded and said, "Okay, we will stay here for the night. Thank you for having us."


    Suddenly the space distorted inside the room. Two people appeared in the center of the room. Nobody else knew these two people but You Xi Wang was shocked. He stood up but beofre he could say anything You Naixin and Chen Qianbei took out their weapons.


    You Naisin spoke, "Who are you, what is your motive toe here." her tone was anything but polite.


    The master of the you family at this moment had himself covered with cold sweat. He walked forward and bowed down to the two people. he said, "Junior You Xi Wang asks for forgiveness, Lord Rudra, Lady Chitra."


    Chitra smiled and said in an ethereal voice, "Those who don''t know are not guilty. Also, it is our fault to walk inside your house unannounced. We should be ask for forgiveness from you."


    She was about to bow when You Xi Wang kneeled down. He said, "I cannot take a bow from you Lady. The rules of Dao will copse my soul." his words and posture shocked the people.


    A bow that can copse the soul, only when people serving the heaven and are in the realm of God can they do such a thing. Ryuken Kinben and Lilian also stood up and knelt down on the ground. They just told everyone to kneel down and bear this moment. The person in front of them was in the realm of God.


    They were so strong that they could destroy the whole or create another one based on their moods. Everyone knelt, You Naixin and Chen Qianbei begged for forgiveness. Rudra spoke, "Tell me, young one. If I was to kill these two women. What will you do?"


    His words made eveyone shiver but You Xi Wang replied calmly, "Endure."


    Rudra raised his eyebrow and asked, "Endure, to do what? Survive?"


    You Xi Wang raised his head and with a calm gaze he face Rudra. He said, "If you want to, either you kill me and every single person in my family. If you left me alive, even if you left me a waste with no cultivation. I will endure it all for one thing only. That thing would be to kill you."


    The people from Kinben family were almost scared to pee at these words. The only people who did not flinch were You Zhichi and the rest of his family. Even Celestia and Lily were not scared.


    Chitra pped Rudra on his chest and said, "Can you stop it? This is why I don;t like to go anywhere with you. This child did not me you for theck of courtesy yet you threaten his family members. Humph, I would like to see how you act when I am here."


    Her words dispelled the thick chill in the air. Rudra immediately said, "Okay, okay. But this guy said that he will kill me. I could sense his killing intent."


    Chitra countered, "Why did you threaten his family first? He is a fil child. I like him. Anything thing else?" her voice was sweet but it wasmanding enough to make the god of destruction quite. She turned towards You Xi Wang who was looking at Rudra with a calm gaze. She said, "Please stand up. I forgot about the rules of Dao servants. You see, I only recently gained my memory."


    You Xi Wang and the rest stood up. He said, "Elder sister, take the guests to their rooms. Granny Xin, Aunt, take the kids with you." his voice carried the dignity of the family master.


    Celestia cast a gaze on Chitra''s face and then at Rudra''s. She scurried her way to You Xi Wang and tugged onto his clothes. You Xi Wang looked at her and asked, "What is it, Celes?"


    The girl replied, "Don''t be afraid, I will take care of people." she sensed a strange emotion when she nced at the two ''guests'' so she wanted You Xi Wang to rx and said something that came to her mind.


    The boy smiled, and Chitra also smiled. You Xi Wang caressed her cheek gently and sent her away with the rest. Then he asked, "May I ask the purpose of your sudden visit seniors?"


    Rudra replied to him, "We just came to see you nce before leaving this domain. I can sense that you almost touched thews of soul." his voice was deep and ethereal.


    You Xi Wang did not hide but nodded. Chitra said, "We reside in a higher domain. The peopel here think that we are out here on a punishment but actually the fact is quite different from the spections. We are allowed to take a vacation once in a millenia. We are the servants of Heavenly Dao Court. Usually we are not allowed to meddle with mortal business. Thus, to enjoy mortal life we get a vacation."


    She paused and squinted at Rudra, "This guy, however, did not seal off his memories and stalked me like always." listening to her words Rudra turned his face sideways. You Xi Wang, on the other hand, was shocked.


    Chitra continued before he could speak, "Everytime wee here, we select some juniors who can ascend to the god realm. You don''t have to serve the dao courtyard like us, but if you can ascend to the god realm, you will have to select a banner to grow under for a certain time. So we came here to give you this chance this time. Your sister is also selected. You can follow Rudra until you have not gained a firm foothold in there and You Zhichi can follow me."


    You Xi Wang had his eyes almost falling out of the sockets at this moment. He asked, "I don''t think it is this simple of a scenario. There must be a limitation."


    Rudra spoke up, "Ho, you are quite smart. The limitation is to reach the realm of god before the age of fifty years of bone age." his voice was calm and indifferent.


    You Xi Wang gulped and asked, "How many people, actually did that?"


    Chitra said, "None in the past nine millenias."


    The boy was shocked stupid. He said, "Are you kidding me?"


    Chitra stuck out her tongue. Rudra said, "Humph it is there fault to contain themselves indoors. They treasured them. How can they ever advance by being a scaredy cat? It is good that they did not advance."


    Watching that You Xi Wang was not very motivated Chitra said, "If you can seed there are a lot of chances to..."


    You Xi Wang raised his hand and said, "You don''t have to lure me senior. I am a verypetetive person. So God realm is something I will defely reach. The same goes for my sister, but I want to advance together with my people. That may be a bit hard but I can always try harder."


    Chitra nodded with a smile. She said, "You have a good mindset. Well our time has ended let me give you a token. If you fail to meet the goals. This token will vanish ande back to Rudra and me." she took out a two coins. One ck and one white. She handed those to You Xi Wang. Then before the boy could say anything. She said, "See you in teh god realm, Xaio Wang."


    You Xi Wang stood in daze as the two people vanished, he said, "Interesting." his eyes glowed with fighting spirit.

 Chapter 283: Ryukens crisis.

    Chapter 283: Ryuken''s crisis.


    The two figures of the gods vanished leaving You Xi Wang alone in the living room, with two coin-like tokens in his hand and a burning gaze. He walked outside the room holding the coins in his hands. He decided to tell his sister about this. His journey to find his sister was too short. He found her standing outside the guest hall.


    He grabbed her hand and flickered. Directly to the meditation room used by his father and mother. He waved his hand and cast a barrier around the room. You Zhichi asked, "What happened gougou?"


    The boy replied, "The two gods left me these tokens. They said that if we can advance to the Immortal Ascension and ascend to the god realm, then we can follow them for some time and grow strong. There are still too many questions I had but they left before I could ask." he exined to her the whole thing including the duration and all.


    You Zhichi saw his excitement and ced a hand on his head. She said, "Calm down. You can do it. You can ask these questions when you ascend to the god''s realm."


    The boy fell silent. He said, "We can do it. I am not ascending alone. Who will look after me there?"


    The celestial maiden smiled at his words. She did not feel any urge topete for ascension, to her it was trivial, but now that her brother has said that he needs her to ascend together with him, then she might as well try. She gave him a nod and the two came out. Suddenly she ced a hand around his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "So when can I expect a nephew or niece from you?"


    You Xi Wang froze and before the topic could continue, he fled with a shadow skip. You Zhichi chuckled at this. Her brother was never good at handling teases. She walked through the corridors holding a white coin in her hand. In her mind, a thought appeared, ''It might not be bad to ascend, probably in the god realm, I can find it?''


    Only gods know what she was looking for. She walked back to check the feast arrangements. While You Xi Wang headed to his room. But before walking to his room, he located Chen Qianbei and You Naixin in the garden and went up to them. Using shadow skip he came behind them in a blink. They did not even sense his existence and he scared them.


    The twodies turned around and they had their swords on his neck. You Xi Wang vanished and appeared three steps away. He smiled and said, "Hohoho, let''s spar? I am itchy to try."


    Chen Qianbei smirked and said, "No hold bars?"


    You Naixin nodded. The boy said, "How about two on one? I will go easy on you." his tone was cocky. Yet the twodies were not angry. They knew what he was capable of, also he had just returned from a ce where they have a mortality rate of 97 percent.


    Celestia came with Yuki and the other two guests in tow. Gena nced at You Naixin and Chen Qianbei as she asked, "Who are they?"


    Celestia spoke up in a loud voice, "STOPP!!!" her voice was enough to stop the people. She and Lily strode to the middle of the three people.


    Lily said, "We referee. Any objections?"


    The three smiled and shook their heads, allowing them to do it. Celestia said, "Big brother, Cast level six protective arrays before you start." With that said the two girls retreated a distance.


    You Xi Wang nodded and insta cast nine, level six barrier arrays around the fighting area. He gave a thumbs-up to Celestia. The two girls exchanged a nce and deployed two micro-drones from their holo-phones. They were using thetest version, the ear held ones. They were live-streaming the event on Metro Frame.


    Their poprity? 2 billion followers. Good enough? Young and old, all liked them. They weren''t low-key at all. They did not need to. Celestia spoke up in a cheerful tone, "Hello, everyone, today we have a special event. My big brother, You Xi Wang, came back from his military deployment, and he is going to spar with Grandaunt You Naixin and Aunt Chen Qianbie. They are all peak, primal soul cultivators. How about we learn some things together?"


    Lily was an introverted one so she just let Celes do the talking. She said, "Contenders ready?"


    You Xi Wang had switched on his nanoparticle battle suit and now was standing with brawler gloves and war boots on his feet. Thedies were also wearing their suits. Chen Qianbei in white and bluebination and You Naixin in ck and red. They both had their hair tied now for convenience.


    You Zhichi and Yuki exchanged nces and shook their heads. The other threedies of the harem also came at this moment. They were filled in about what was happening and they also shook their heads. The whole family was present, including Ryuken Kinben and Lilian.


    Alec was looking at it skeptically. Takeshi sensed his emotions and said, "He took me down in swordprehension in one stroke when he was just in the spirit formation realm." His words shocked the former to the core.


    Lilian said, "Ryu, you will see why I value him so highly tonight."


    ...


    You family elders were busy with something else, "I bet 20 Golden me lotus seeds." said the first elder. The rest also followed. Gena was standing just a few steps away and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Elder who do you bet on?" her voice was humble.


    You Ziyou said, "We bet on Xiao Wang beating the two of them. We bet on time. The result is already determined."


    Ryuken asked him, "Why do you say so?"


    You Ziyou smiled and said, "Senior, look at his eyes. You will know."


    The people fell silent and Lily said, "GO!!!"


    The next moment, You Xi Wang vanished from his spot. The other two were also quick to react.


    CLANG!!


    A fist collided with Chen Qianbei''s sword as the two came to a stop, You Xi Wang jumped up and twisted his body to deliver a kick behind him.


    CLANG!!


    You Naixin appeared behind him. Her dagger was stopped by the boy''s kick. Chen Qianbei used her spirit energy and released her chilling sword intent. You Xi Wang vanished from between the twodies. The sword intent released from Chen Qianbei was now targeted at You Naixin.


    Maddison stood in the crowd and was about toment when Celestia said, "Using their strength against them, Basic Strategy Volume 2, chapter five facing two or more opponents. This move was a standard example of this tactic. Granny Xin moved behind Big brother but was blocked, Aunt Bei released the sword intent but this yed against them.`` Her expertment was a surprise to a lot of elders.


    Lily added, "You forgot that the two people in the confrontation are using opposite spiritual elements. They will not be able to bnce it in such a short time. Nature of spiritual energy, chapter 6, equation of elements." Celestia stuck out her tongue and said, "What would I do without you?"


    They shared knowledge and happiness among the people. You Zhichi noticed Maddison''s surprise and said, "These two have finished Grade three-course using Xi Wang''s codex ount, teacher."


    This shocked Maddison.


    While thementary kept going on, the three people kept fighting. It has been only four minutes, but the situation was at a stagnation point. You Ziyou shouted at his grandson, "BRAT, IF I LOST THE BET, I WILL HAVE YOUR BUTTS AGAINST MY STAFF."


    Involved in the high-speed battle the boy smiled. He was countering the two people with ease but hearing the threat his hands started to move faster. His defensive parries turned into aggressive punching and palming at the twodies. The most shocking thing was that he used two different elements facing the two.


    When attacking You Naixin, who used the Fire element, his palms and punches all carried the earth element. While facing Chen QIanbei, who was a master of water elements, he used lightning. The process was quick and the ground echoed with ngs and Booms. Suddenly the fight stopped.


    Ryukenmented, "What is that?" his voice was filled with surprise. Two phantoms, one fist, and one leg were formed in the void, they were just a few inches away from You Naixin and Chen Qianbei. If they were hit by this the damage would be significant but what surprised the people was that the twodies had their weapons blocked by a sword and a spear held by You Xi Wang.


    Celestia excitedly yelled, "UNITY OF MAN AND WEAPON, using three weapons at a time is called a minor sess, but big brother used a fist, a kick, a sword, and a spear. He reached the middle stage. WHOOP WHOOP."


    She and Lily started jumping as they cheered. You Zhichi sensed confusion in Ryuken''s gaze. She asked, "Senior, are you not familiar with this skill?"


    Ryuken shook his head and said, "I am familiar with it, but since when did they change the number of weapons used? I remember that it used to be, mastery of 1 weapon for lower sess, 2 for medium sess, 3 for major sess, 4 for great sess, 5 for expert."


    Celestia spoke, "Oh that? My big brother has mastery over 7 weapons now. He can use Fists, kicks, sword, spear, dagger, bow and arrow, and whips. He has realized the intents of these weapons as well. What we meant was a skill to use more than one weapon together at a time, 4 is the minimum criteria. Big brother was able to use a sword and spear simultaneously when he was in core formation."


    Lily was nodding her head like a chick. These two did not realize that they just made a Nirvana Rebirth cultivator almost have an existential crisis.

 Chapter 284: Truth Of The System.

    Chapter 284: Truth Of The System.


    The people were all shaken at You Xi Wnag''s prowess. They did not expect this guy to have improved so much. Thebatants distanced themselves and bowed to each other. Celestia spoke in an excited voice, "You Xi Wang, wins."


    The family members started to cheer. Alec Kinben sighed and said, "Brother Takeshi, I believe what you said was correct."


    Takeshi just smiled, treating his words as gold. You Naixin sighed as she said, "Who would have thought that he became an even bigger monster when he went out?"


    Chen Qianbei nodded in agreement. You Xi Wang walked over to them and with a smile, he said, "Come let us celebrate. It has been so long since I danced." he led the two women back to the crowd holding their hands.


    The atmosphere was cherry and the night passed amidst the dancing and chattering of the crowd. It has been a long time since they all rxed. Celestia and Lily unknowingly fell asleep in You Xi Wang''s arms. Thus the boy called for quits and went back to his bedroom. Emily and the others cleaned the room before going out earlier, otherwise, it would be awkward to sleep in the erotic smell of fluids.


    He set down the two girls in his arms down on the bed, tucked them in. Maya came out of his shadow andid down beside them. You Xi Wang said, "Maya, you stay here, I will go to meditate."


    Maya nodded and she closed her eyes. You Xi Wang gently walked out of the room and closed the door. He met some of the family members on the way to the meditation room of his parents. You can imagine how much they all enjoyed as some were being carried to the rooms by their wives. Even the first elder of the family.


    You Xi Wang said, "Granny Xue, do you need any help?" when he came across the two people.


    Xia Xue, the wife of the first elder and his first granny, shook her head and said, "The olddy can still deal with it, Xiao Wang. How are you?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and chatted with her as she supported the first elder. After ten minutes they parted, and the boy came to the cultivation room. He closed the door and sat down with his legs crossed.


    The system spoke in his mind, [I havepleted all soul-rted books in the codex. Syncing now.] as soon as the words dropped, You Xi Wang''s closed eyes started to flicker.


    The boy was now umting the knowledge he needed to decide his future path. After twenty minutes, the system spoke up again, [Lucy, has improved a lot. How about we check her in the morning?]


    You Xi Wang replied with a hum. He was assimting the energy he gained during his sexual rendezvous with his lovely harem. The process of intercourse was something like a refinement. Thedies all had special traits that were still lying dormant. The boy only discovered it during his intercourse.


    You Xi Wang asked the system, ''Say, did you manipte me when we came across these women?''


    The system replied, [What I did was called, soul analysis. This is my way of knowing the other person, at that time, I felt a special pull towards their souls, thus indirectly it does counts as an influence.]


    The primary consciousness sighed and asked a question that has long bothered him, ''Can I ever merge you back?''


    The system was silent for a few minutes and said, [To be honest, you can do that to me whenever you wish now. Your soul is strong enough. But I suggest you wait till you reach the Immortal ascension realm.]


    You Xi Wang asked, ''Why?''


    The system replied, ''Because you will need to face tribtions. If my strength is merged with you, then the tribtions will be a thousand times stronger. At this moment, I can be seen as an external entity in your body and do not have much control over your fate. Once we merge, we will share the same fate. You see, I exist outside the cycle of heaven, an existence that is not ruled by heavens but the Dao.''


    You Xi Wang was stunned for a second and then said, "borate."


    [Assume of me as a car, you are my driver. You say a car follows the rules of physics. Right?] the system asked.


    The boy nodded.


    [Now, I tell you that physique itself originated from an ident, and that ident is what governs me.] spoke the system.


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, ''So it can be said that you exist beyond the heavens?''


    The system replied, [Not beyond heaven, just this in. You can think of the universes like ayer of pasta sheets in asagna. You are the filling between theyers. I am the heat of that bakes you. So you may jump and ascend from thestyer to the firstyer, but I will be everywhere around theyers. Also, I am just a particle of heat in the whole pot.]


    This exnation shocked You Xi Wang. He did not expect the secondary soul inside him to be an existence of this level. He asked, ''Are there others like you?''


    [You will find them one day if you can leave behind theyers altogether.] The system did not deny the fact that there might be other existences like itself but it did tell You Xi Wang about the difficulty.


    The boy asked once more, ''What do you mean by leaving theyers behind?''


    The system replied, [Exactly what you thought.] his tone was indifferent.


    You Xi Wang just said, ''Why did you reveal this to me? Also, just so you know and not feel homesick, I will never leave anything behind in this life. I would rather live and die with my own friends and family.''


    He had a firm resolve. Never will he make the same mistake of leaving behind his roots as he did in hisst life. Even if that means giving up all the power in the world.

 Chapter 285: First Milestone.

    Chapter 285: First Milestone.


    After the discussion with the system, You Xi Wang was uneasy, he then decided to put aside such thoughts and started to meditate. It was morning when he woke up from his cultivation. The system has gone silent as if it did not exist. The boy did not bother with it and walked out of the room.


    He headed to his room and saw Jojo standing outside his room. This child has also grown up and he acknowledged Mu Qingling as his master and started to learn medicine. He was surprised to see him here. he asked, "Jojo, howe you are here?"


    Jojo was sent to live in the Chen Family as he was young and still had a lot to learn from his master. The kid smiled and said, "Uncle, the master is here with me. She is not in the guest hall. She found out that you came back from the lost sector and wanted toe and meet you."


    You Xi Wang nodded and without any dys followed the little boy to the guest room. On the way, the two people talked about a lot of things that happened in the past few months. Soon, they arrived at the guest room where Mu Qingling was having tea with the elders of the house. She saw You Xi Wang walking in and a beautiful smile surfaced on her face.


    The boy also rushed to her arms, like a kid. He held her tight while she did the same. Chen Qianbei was like his mother but Mu Qingling looked 90 percent simr to Chen Limao and unlike Qianbei she was not cold. His aunt did love him a lot but the fact that his granny loved him more was obvious.


    Nobody spoke as the two people embraced each other, they broke up only after a few minutes. the boy spoke first, I was nning to go to the Chen house today, howe you came here first?"


    Mu Qingling smiled and said, "My bunny came back from the lost sector so how can I note over and see him? Also, I fought with your old grandfather. Would you let me stay here for a few days?"


    Chen Qianbei almost spurted out the tea she had in her mouth. You Xi Wang chuckled, "Howe I don''t find anything new with this? What did he do this time Moon Fairy?"


    The olddy smiled as she caressed his face gently, she said, "He forgot our anniversary. You tell me was I wrong?"


    You Xi wang shook his head with a smile and said, "But If I remember correctly, your anniversary was two months ago, right? Howe you fight now only?"


    Mu Qingling sighed and narrated the whole event. Turned out Old Master Chen, suddenly wanted to take her out for a dinner. When Mu Qingling asked Why was he so romantic? The old man directly said that it was their anniversary. Thedy tolerated him forgetting about it but did not expect him to have a face and even admit a wrong date for it. The two quarrelled and finally thedy left home to chill.


    You Xi Wang nced at his aunt who nodded, seemingly confirming the case. You Xi Wang said, "We are family, Grandma, why are you being so formal? You stay here for as long as you like."


    His words brought a bright smile on thedy''s face. She said, "I knew I did not love you in vain."


    The rest of the people smiled. The atmosphere became merry when You Zhichi came in, followed by All of her sisters-inw. they were all introduced to Mu Qingling and thedy was very happy to see her grandson having such beautiful fiancees. After some time You Zhichi said, "Gougou, I will be going back to Array Hall. Would you like toe and meet Grandmaster?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Our meeting has been long due. Let''s go." Then he bade farewell to the others and came to his room with his sister. He wanted to pick up some clothes before leaving. he asked, "Big Sis, are we going to fly all the way?"


    The celestial maiden shook her head and said, "Silly boy, I have called the family airship over. Also, where are the two little devils?"


    Her brother chuckled and said, "Flexing to the kids in the family. After meeting grandmaster I will take those who want to participate in the ancestoral exam to the elf dimension. You should also gather your talented people in the array hall for the trip. It would be beneficial to them. But have them all oath bound so that this matter is kept a secret."


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "Yes, I was about to talk to you about it. Also, I have something else too." her voice suddenly became hesitant. You Xi Wang turned back and saw his sister frowning, he instinctively used Mind Reading and was shocked.


    Then he took a deep breath. he said, "Big Sis, I also miss mom and dad. Don''t worry if there is a way to bring them back I will not hesitate toy down my own life. Yet we do not know if and when this will be possible. Don''t worry let us take one step at a time."


    You Zhichi nodded and they she gawked at her brother, "When did you learn this?"


    He replied casually, "Grandmaster left me some hints, I connected the dots and the picture became clear. It is all inside the array knowledge you learn. You will figure it out."


    The girl sighed and shook her forehead. She said, "Let''s pick up the two devils and then we will leave."


    The two siblings walked to the training field where Celestia and Lily were practising with each other while the other kids gazed at them with a reverence. You Xi Wang smiled and he crouched down among the children. He asked, "Tell me my little devils. Do you also wish to be like them?"


    The kids nodded, You Xi Wang smiled and said, "After two days, I wille back and teach you all exercises, but remember they will be very painful. I will not let you stop once you start."


    A cute guy said, "Uncle, you do not worry, we will be fne." the rest followed, "<strong>YES</strong>"


    You Xi Wang''s long journey was now reaching it''s first milestone.

 Chapter 286: Two Mentalists.

    Chapter 286: Two Mentalists.


    After coaxing the kids, You Xi Wang called over Celestia and Lily. The two girls had slight sweat on their foreheads. He wiped them off clean and told them about the trip to Array Hall. Celestia scrunched her little nose and said, "Why are we going back?"


    You Zhichi on the side said, "Because your big brother never paid his respects to the grandmaster. Plus I also have a lot of things to do."


    Lily asked, "Xixi, can I stay with mum and others a bit longer?" her voice was low. Despite the high IQ and talent, it can not be denied that the two were just children. The boy understood this fact and pulled her closer. He said, "Of course, my sweetheart. You have met the grandmaster already. So you can stay. While you are at it, teach your brothers and sisters about tempering the body before they start cultivation. Help, Xixi look after the family. Okay?"


    Lily smiled beautifully and nodded. She hugged You Xi Wang tightly and said, "You are the best Xixi." and pecked his cheek sweetly. The boy smiled and kissed her forehead as he said, "You are the best too Lily."


    He asked Celestia and the girl said that she woulde along with him. Celestia had a different background, when she lost everything and was about to die as well, she met You Xi Wang. This boy did not only give her food, but hope, and strength to move forward. Her heart was closely linked to this big brother who adopted her as his little sister and loved her so much. So, when You Xi Wang asked, she agreed.


    They dropped Lilyback to her mother''s room and after a few minutes they left. When they arrived at the pier of the mansion, a blue ship was already docked to the ce. After greeting the captain and the crew. The three [people boarded the airship.


    ...


    Inside the airship, Celestia was practising Yoga in front of You Xi Wang, apparently since she was too young, Animus prescribed the two girls yoga. The poses and standces in Yoga had a tempering effect on the body. It was not only on the outside of the body but also on the inside.


    During the journey You Xi Wang would advise Celestia regarding her mistakes and help her correct them. You Zhichi was busy in cultivating. After doing Yoga Celestia went out of the cabin to take some rest. You Xi Wang took this time to inspect LUCY, the artificial intelligence he had developed.


    Thework was now almost omnipotent. The boy said, "Lucy are you there?"


    Instantly a voice sounded in his, ears, "Yes, Master."


    You Xi Wang asked, "What do you think of the current world?"


    Lucy replied, "This question needs to be divided intoseveral sections to be answered, Master. The world can not be summed up in one sentence. It is a mixture of lot of elements working together in tandem."


    Her answer satisfied You Xi Wang. He nodded and started to talk to her about the progress of thepany in his absence. Lucy replied all the queries. She also gave him a news about the recently business trend and projects undertaken by thepany.


    As the two were immersed in discussion, the ship reached the array hall. Array hall had no piers to dock so the siblings had already decided to fly down with Celestia. You Zhichi had the ship stop five kilometers away from the location. Any vehicle would fall into an illusion array,ter they will be space wrapped outside.


    You Xi Wang held the little fairy in his arms and they descended the ship from the hatch door. The three then flew in the sky. They were both array masters so they could vaguely see through the array. Celestia would point out the spots she explored with Lily over their time here.


    She was not afraid that You Zhichi would scold her for sneaking out, but You Xi Wang still taught her gently that curiosity should only be looked through when you have enough strength to defend yourself in danger. The little girl nodded and promised You Xi Wang to be careful.


    The three people soon came to a scendscape. The tall and sturdy mountain was shrouded by clouds, it gave off a serene vibe. You Zhichi led her brother to the summit where the Array Pce was located. She introduced various ces inside the ce to You Xi Wang on the way. The disciples saw the three people and bowed in respect.


    They were not aware of You Xi Wang''s identity but You Zhichi''s status was known to them and the bow was directed to her as well. The boy smiled contently and felt happy for his sister. He still teased her when there was no one around.


    He said, "Say, big sis, how does it feel when everyone calls you Hall master and bow in respect?"


    Thew celestial maiden smiled and said, "Not gonna lie, it feels very sauve and ssy." she only used ngs in front of her brother or family members.


    Before she picked up her cultivation technique, the maiden heart sutra. She was quite a tom boy. The siblingsughed. Celestia also joined, she started mimicking You Zhichi''s actions. Amidst theughter the three reached the high tower.


    You Zhichi spoke, "Grandmaster, Disciple is here to see you."


    Soon an ethereal voice sounded, "Come up, Chi''er."


    The three people started to climb the stairs, before long they stood in front of an oldman who sat with his back facing them. Celestia first bowed and spoke in her sparrow voice, "Great grandmaster, disciple has seen you." She kowtowed to him.


    The old manughed without turning and said, "Good girl." hisughter revealed a tone of triumph. He was happy too see this little devil to be knocking to her, but the happiness was strangled before it could mature.


    Celestia said, "How did you grow so making hair? ording to the bet you were forbidden to use arrays and elixirs. I will shave you off again." her words shocked You Xi Wang to the core. He did not expect this tiny little bird to have no fear in her heart.


    Animus who was stillughing suddenly coughed. he hurriedly said, "This is a wig."


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi stifled aughter. Thetter said, "Grandmaster, I have brought him here. I will retreat as there are lot of things to do." She left so quickly because she could not stop herughter.


    The boy shook her head and said, "Celes..." he stretched the call a little and the girl bowed her head and said, "Sorry big brother."


    Animus could not help but turn over with an surprised expression. He asked Celestia, "Little Dev... Fairy, what did you say?"


    Celestia pursed her lips and turned her face sideways. You Xi Wang shook his head and kneelt on the ground he said, "Grand disciple You Xi Wang, pays respect to Grandmaster."


    He knocked his forehead thrice on the ground hard enough to make it swell a bit. He did not use the spirit energy. The impact from the knock was strong, it conveyed his sincerity. Animus smiled and said, "Raise your head, wang''er."


    The old man was gratified to see his grand disciple in front of him. he said, "You have worked hard in thepast few months."


    You Xi Wang smiled and shook his head. He replied, "You boost me too much, Grandmaster. Everyone works hard." he turned his head to Celestia.


    He said, "Celes, go down, y yourself. I want to talk with Grandmaster."


    The little girl nodded and walked to the entrance, but suddenly she came back and hugged You Xi Wang. Her little fingers moved a bit and then she walked downstairs. Animus smiled and shook his head. he said, "These two girls are very lively. Chi''er told me about their origins, but to think they can still be like this. Even after facing such turmoils."


    You Xi wang also smiled and said, "Hope is a wonderful thing, grandmaster."


    the two people chatting on chatting but they were not using words neither was it the soulmunication. They were reading each othre''s mind. Animo Albus, Alester Book, You Zhichi and Celestia stood in the sky. Celestia was being held by You Zhichi.


    The little girl asked, "Say, granny Animo, who do you think is winning?"


    Animo Albus smiled as she said, "They are matched evenly, at this moment."


    Celestia sighed, as she said, "Big brother still has lot to learn. But it is okay. Great Grandmaster is hundreds of years old while my big brother is just 17. He can beat him in future."


    Alester Book shivered and said, "Say, senior sister, did I invite a demon in my house?"


    Animo nced at him in confusion, the former said, "This kid, is beating master in mind reading, while I have not even achieved the minor sess. Shameful."


    Thedy said, "It''s okay. Not everyone is talented enough." her words were a sh on Alester Book rather then constion.


    You Zhichi smiled at the side, she said, "Gougou wants to reach immortal ascension within fifty years. But If he had no one to apany him. he will hold back. We have to do something about that. his resolve to keep everyone together will be a big obstacle in his path of greatness."


    Animo added, "Just like master."

 Chapter 287: Departure.

    Chapter 287: Departure.


    Animus and You Xi wang discussed the meeting with the gods. They talked for two days. Animus taught the boy a lot of things. You Xi Wang was also like a sponge, absorbing everything the old man threw at him. On the morning of the third day, the mentalist said, "Wang''er. In the uing ancestral meeting, I hope to see a splendid performance from you."


    You Xi wang replied, "I will try my best Grandmaster."


    Animus nodded and said, "I n to let Chi''er participate in the examination as well. What do you think?" he intended to let You Zhichi participate in the exam and represent the Array Hall. he wanted the girl to seek guidance from his master.


    You Xi wang sighed and giving up the mind-reading he spoke orally, "My sister can decide what she wants to do, I will... notment on it." he tried not to show it but the hesitation in his eyes was evident.


    Animus said, "Chi''er.e here." his voice was soft but it was still heard by You Zhichi and she flew over in a few minutes. She asked, "Grandmaster, you called for me." although she faced Animus, her brother''s state of mind was obvious to her.


    The mentalist nodded and said, "I would like you to participate in the ancestral exam. I want to ask you, would you like to represent the Array hall or your family?"


    The girl immediately understood the crux of her brother''s sadness. He could not speak against Animus but he did not want You Zhichi to represent the array hall instead of the family. The celestial maiden smiled and said, "I choose my family, grandmaster."


    Animus was not surprised by her decision. He said, "I expected this. I allow you two to seek your great grandmaster in the other world if you do pass the exam. But let me remind you. Dual representation means double difficulty."


    The two siblings exchanged a nce and bowed to Animus. The old man said, "Now, go back to train hard. Animo will take care of the ce for the time being."


    The two siblings retreated after paying their respects. Celestia was in the library reading books when she saw You Xi Wanging over. She waved at him with a smile and beckoned him over. The boy came over and asked him many questions about the things she did not understand. You Xi wang also patiently exined everything to her.


    His actions did gain the attention of the other disciples. Especially girls. They all came up to ask him questions and the guys helped them all. Suddenly he heard You Zhichi''s voice, "Gougou, Celes, let''s go. I am done."


    You Xi Wang and Celestia replied in unison, "Yes, Big sister." then the two exchanged a gaze, and then chuckled. The rest of the disciples who were asking You Xi Wang questions were shocked. They did not expect this boy to be the younger brother of the Hall master.


    Under their watch, You Xi wang held Celestia in his arms and left after saying goodbye. The people could only sigh when they gazed at his vanishing back.


    ...


    The two people walked back to the ce where they got off from the airship. The ship has been called by You Zhichi earlier and was waiting for them in the sky. You Xi Wang suddenly said, "It would be nice if these things cannd anywhere."


    Celestia said, "Yeah, but the size of airships is too big tond just anywhere."


    The two people look at each other and said, "Make it smaller."


    You Zhichi smiled and said, "Okay, you business savvies, let''s go we need to prepare for training as well." her brother however said, "You need to prepare, I need to eat. like only sit in the kitchen and eat all I can. Six months on food pills. Terrible I am telling you."


    The two girls giggled when they saw his obscure face. The two carried a little girl and flew up to the hatch door of the ship. The rest of the journey was both boring and uneventful, except for Celestia and You Xi wang ying card games with You Zhichi and losing almost every time. In the end, the deck of cards was dumped in the trash.


    No talks for the whole journey. You Zhichi was busy pampering two grumpy-ass children. This continued till the ship docked at the You mansion''s pier. The people got off. You Xi Wang ignored everything and made a beeline to the kitchen where he started eating anything and everything. Well, they made good food okay. Granny cotton was very happy to have him visit and eat everything they served him. The aunts and sisters-inw also catered to him and gave him a lot of food.


    You Xi Wang only had one routine for three days, go to the bath, eat, sleep, eat again, repeat. Mu Qingling gave some herbs to granny cotton to mix them in the diet lest his stomach runs. On the fifth day of the week that is on the second day when You Xi Wang came back from the Array Hall.


    Chen Shaoyang visited the family, his motive was to make up with Mu Qingling. Well, he did wrong in the first ce. You Zhichi yed the peacemaker while You Xi Wang ate a cake with his aunt on the side. These two were trouble makers. Mu Qingling finally forgave the old man and went back home with him. Chen Qianbei knew that You Xi wang would leave too so she also joined her parents.


    In the evening, thirty youngsters were standing in front of You Xi Wang. They were all the new seeds of the family. Other than them, the kids of the family also stood in the training ground. You Zhichi said, "The kids will all stay here and follow the routine given to them okay?"


    The kids replied, "Yes, aunt."


    You Xi Wang said, "The rest, follow me. We go to Elfhiem."

 Chapter 288: War.

    Chapter 288: War.


    You Xi Wang took his family members to the back garden of the mansion. Soon, Yuki, Fenny, Neo, and An also came over with a few of their family members. They all came over with the excuse of training for the ancestral exam. They were all people of the same age and circle. They all knew each other.


    You Xi Wang said when he looked up at their cherry faces, "Are you all gathered here for a party?" his tone was cold enough to make everyone freeze.


    Fenny stepped forward and said, "Kids, it is time you y with the pros. Get your game face on. If I found anyone out of military discipline, my whip will greet your asses. For now, get into squad formation." thest half was almost barked.


    The people all quickly fell into formation. They stood in columns of five. An nodded and said, "Now be on your best behavior. If you smeared our names out there, you will all be dealt with under familyws."


    You have to know that these five were the best among them. Even You Zhichi was not an exception. She did call her team over but the aura radiated by the Phantoms was too much for them to handle. Celestia and Lily stood behind You Xi Wang. They were the only two kids to follow them to a different dimension.


    Neo said, "Xiao Wang, open the portal."


    You Xi Wang nodded and took out an amulet he channeled his spirit energy inside it and a wormhole appeared behind them. The suction force was too strong. Yuki said in a loud voice. Hold onto each other or you will scatter in the space crack and might pop out in fragments.


    Her words scared the shit out of these people. You Xi Wang held onto Lily and Celestia, while Yuki held onto his shirt, Fenny in the center and then followed by An and Neo. Thest person in the chain held out his hand for others to hold on and the people quickly formed a human chain.


    Soon they all vanished inside the wormhole and the void returned to its normal appearance. Emily, Petra, Susan stood at a distance and Susan said, "What do you think? Will he do Yuki and Gena on his trip?"


    Emily shook his head while Petra said, "He should be able to do it."


    Susan chuckled and said, "See, you two have started to like it in just one week." Well one thing left out of the routine You Xi Wang followed in his three days here was indulging himself with his harem.


    Gena was a part of the group Yuki took over. Maddison was still in a dilemma about Yuki''s proposal of bing You Xi Wang''s girlfriend. Yeah, I know right? What else do you need if you have a fiancee like her?


    Gena agreed to it long ago and thus was taken to Elfheim by Yuki.


    ...


    Elfheim.


    A wormhole opened all of a sudden under the warm blue skies. You Xi Wang appeared holding onto two girls as the others followed him. The faint smile on his face vanished. He said, "Things don''t seem to be as good as I expected."


    If someone looked down from the skies, You Xi Wang andpany would look like a line between two huge armies. yup, they popped out on a battlefield.


    Neo looked around and said, "This ce is Elfhiem, right? Xiao Wang?"


    Before You Xi Wang could answer a loud a crude voice sounded from their left, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU STAND IN FRONT OF MY DESDEMONIAN CAVALRY? DO YOU NOT FEAR DEATH PUNY INSECT?"


    This loud tone attracted everyone. They turned their heads and saw Few creatures, wearing beast skin, holding axes and hammers standing a few miles away. You Xi Wang muttered, "ORCS?" in surprise and shock.


    Except for the phantoms, Gena, and You Zhichi''s team. Almost all the people were scared. An ethereal voice sounded behind them, "Ilex greets Ambassador You, and the rest. I thank you for bringing aid to help us."


    The owner of this voice was, Ilex, the queen of elves. You Xi Wang sighed in relief and asked, "Your Majesty, ept my greeting as well. Please tell me. What is the situation? I did note to aid you, my visit is coincidental."


    Ilex immediately understood that You Xi Wang came here on his own ord and was not aware of the situation. She hurriedly said, "I apologize for my prudence. Sir, Elves are not the only civilization of this dimension. Orcs, Dwarves, and many more creatures live here, but they are all located very far away so do not maintain a connection. The orc army has been charging at everyone. They want to unite this ce under their banner. Please help us, sir. Our weapons are almost finished but these people are just too many. They have piged a lot of small settlements of elves and other races. They took women for ves and men were killed."


    The queen''s ethereal voice was shaking, her eyes were filled with tears. The army behind her had rage in their eyes yet their physiques were filled with wounds. Seems like the elves gave up on technology and came back to nature but they were not used to it anymore.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, ''I will help you. Please do not worry." he paused and turned to his team. He said, "We don''t have much time. Have these guys dealt with Heavenly Tribtion?"


    The phantoms nced at the orcs and Fenny said, ''Take the gamble?"


    You Xi Wang nodded. The n was simple. The boy will fire six shots and deter the Goblins if it worked then fine, if not then, let there be war. The phantoms nodded and fenny startedmanding the rest of the people. You Xi Wang in the meantime had Celestia and Lily stay under Ilex''s protection.


    But who knew that the girls would not agree and even proposed, "We can make support arrays."


    Well, looking at their expectant and confident gaze You Xi Wang nodded and let them stay beside him. Fenny arranged the formations leaving enough space for You Xi Wang. Maya and the other hounds were posted to guard the two little fairies.


    You Xi Wang suddenly took out the Gatling canon. Nobody was NOT surprised at the appearance of this weapon. The boy nced at the orc side and asked, "<strong>Are you sure about being at war with me? You can still go back you know</strong>."


    The orc leader was enraged at this. he said, "<strong>You think this ugly thing can stop us</strong>? <strong>You puny hum...</strong>" his words did not stop when he heard an explosion.

    The Orc leader stopped speaking as he heard the explosion. You Xi Wang fired a shot with the Gatling cannon. The explosion was heard when almost hundreds of Orcs evaporated. Fenny looked at the situation and said, "Baby Wang, this is not very efficient of us. They have the horizon covered."


    The orc army was so big that. as far as they can look it was all war-hungry orcs. You Xi Wang asked, "Hand-to-handbat?"


    Fenny nodded to him, but she said, "How do we safeguard the rookies?"


    Before You Xi Wang could reply, Celestia spoke, "Level five, barrier array. They won''t be able to get past it with just brute strength. Do we try?"


    You Xi Wang chuckled as he said, "Alright you little devil. Go cast the array." While he said this. He asked, You Zhichi to cast some backup arrays in case the Orcs get past level five. He turned to Ilex and said, "Your majesty. Please look after my people. I will be back by the sunset."


    Maya and the other hounds were left to watch over the two little array masters. They were just like a newborn calf. Unaware of the tiger in front of them. The Orcs had started to charge at them. The charge was so strong that they all could feel slight tremors getting stronger as the Orcs got closer.


    The system spoke up suddenly, [Call the Orc Leader for a challenge. Tell him to get past you five if he and his army have the guts.]


    You Xi Wang asked, "Oh, finally speaking, are we? Also, will my call not make them even madder?" his tone was obvious as he and the other four walked forward at a casual pace.


    The system said, [It will ensure the safety of the rest of the people. Orcs worship the strong.]


    You Xi Wang found a good logic in his opinion, so he did. He yelled to the charging Orcs, "<strong>Hey, you bunch of big oafs. If you have the guts then get past the five of us before you touch the rest of my people. I challenge you.</strong>"


    The Orc leader was charging at them with his war hammer heard these words and was enraged. Hemanded the troops behind him, "<strong>Get me their heads first. The rest will be eatenter.</strong>"


    The Orc army Roared collectively. You Xi Wang said, "Fenny, in the back, Yuki, Neo, and An, you guys take the front. I will be the free support."


    The team replied, "Roger that." They all wore the nanoparticle battle suits, despite the different colors they all had the mask of a wolf on their faces. You Zhichi said, "Watch carefully. Carve the scene in your memory. Chase after them and surpass them. Create your own identity by your own efforts. Understood?"


    "<strong>Yes.</strong>" replied the crowd.


    ...


    The Orc army met the Phantoms. Neo took out five orcs with his punches as soon as they met him. He aimed for their heads and made them st like watermelons. The others also attacked but the Orcs had terrible healing capability. He spoke in the teammunication channel, "Yo, take off their heads. Easy done."


    Yuki and An replied, "Copy that."


    Yuki''s sword de shined with a glint of green. Orcs bleed green, and suddenly she started beheading every Orc in her sight. An on the other hand was using his Spirit shotgun to make their heads burst.


    The reason why they were not overwhelmed by the swarm was that they could shadow step. They were all like phantoms, blinking and killing all over the ce. The orcs saw theirpanions getting killed in such a manner and were even more focused on the five people. You XI Wang was the guardian, he would kill independently as well as pay attention to the team''s condition. Fenny had also changed the way she used to fight.


    Holding a grenadeuncher she would blink on the field and to ease the pressure over her teammates, she would st a few Orcs now and then. Also, whenever she disappeared from her ce, at least three orcs would have their heads sted. She was using micro drone bombs. All programmed to attach to the head of an Orc and KABOOM. The application was simple. On her suit, Fenny had a vent that was used to dispense these drone bombs.


    ...


    Ilex watched the scene in front of her and was shocked. The rookies, well they were shivering, with fear and with excitement. Both the parties had no idea that You Xi Wang and his team were such good warriors. You have to know that rookies have never witnessed them fighting but the queen of elves knew how You Xi Wang and the rest helped them with the ruins of the royal elves.


    She was scared of the growth of these five kids. They were killing with both hands and it looked very easy, yet she could imagine the effort they put in before they can be so strong. You Zhichi stood with her team and they all said, "Captain, your brother is a monster."


    The Celestial maiden, however, smiled beautifully on this. As for the two little fairies, well, they were busy recording the videos of this whole incident. The title was ''Phantoms vs. Orcs.''


    The onught carried on, but the orcs had no idea how to deal with these gods of death. They could only see theirrades fall with their heads missing. They did not even know how many have died till now.


    You Xi Wang was fighting with a spear and a sword in his hands. His legs manifested the intent of kick. The sword intent from his sword would leave a ck sh mark on the neck of every orc that stood in front of it. As for the spear, it was to repel those who attacked his back. You Xi Wang only shadow skipped when his friends were in danger. Otherwise, he just fought like normal.


    At any given moment he would be facing at least five Orcs. The Orc chief was confused, slowly his confusion changed to fear. The fear of death as he faced these five. He was at the forefront of his army. Yet the phantom shadow skipped and started to tear apart his forces from the inside. He turned his head and cast a gaze on the group of people who followed the ounder.


    He was even more scared. To think that these five are enough to deal with them. What will happen if they are all charged. He saw them shivering with their teeth clenched. He thought that they were eager to attack.


    On one side were these ounders who were so eager to kill them and on the other side were his people. As he was pondering the battle started to heat up. Orc shamans made their debut. They started to cast elemental spells, on You Xi Wang and the others. This hindered their progress.


    The boy issued amand on the teammunication channel, "Spirit attacks."


    "Roger that." the team replied.


    The battlefield started to be sshed with colors. Colors of elemental spells. The orc infantry became coteral damage between the struggle of Orc Shamans and the Phantoms. You Xi Wang carried on the onught with all five of his elements. The rest had one element but the damage they did was all equal to You Xi Wang''s.


    The sun was setting on the horizon and the phantoms were fighting relentlessly. They all had spent a lot of time in the Lost sector. Not a single wisp of Spirit energy inside their bodies was wasted.


    ...


    Suddenly a familiar-looking elf ran over to Ilex''s side. She said, "Your Majesty, These five people have killed almost half of the orc forces." This elf was Sasha, who met You Xi Wang and the others thest time they were here, now she the queen''s right hand.


    You Zhichi was undisturbed while the others were shocked. She spoke in thems, "Gougou, you guys have taken down half of the Orcs. Your energy is also half-finished. Time to call it a day." her words made everyone realize that the phantoms were also tired.


    ...


    You Xi Wang spoke in the teammunication, "Surround the Orc leader, time to help him with the decision." given his soul skills and the help of the system, how can he not know the Orc leader''s mental trouble?


    The five people vanished and they all appeared around the Orc Leader. You Xi Wang''s sword rested on the Orcs nape. The tip of Yuki''s dagger was resting on his back, ready to pierce through his heart. Fenny had the barrel of her sniper rifle ce on his ear. Neo''s Halberd was raised high on his right while An was tying a belt of bombs around his waist.


    The whole Orc army froze. They did not even dare to let out a breath. Never had they met an enemy who can make their leader suffer like this. You Xi Wang spoke in a cold voice, "I will not humiliate you. Your men a strong, they did not hesitate even for a second. You have our respect. we do not want to continue killing such brave men in vain. You have a choice. Either you stop the war and sit down with us on a meal. Or we kill you and then the rest of your forces."

 Chapter 290: Strong Arms & Strong Heart.

    Chapter 290: Strong Arms & Strong Heart.


    The Orc leader stood surrounded by the weapons of the Phantoms. His brain was nk for a moment. Never in his wildest imagination did he ever imagine himself being surrounded and an inch away from death when it came to battle.


    He recalled how this ounder challenged him and his forces, how they ughtered his troops as if they were chickens in a pen. The current scene gave him shivers to the core of his soul. He was scared, not for himself but for his people. he asked in a low voice, "Do you really intend to kill my people even after killing me?"


    You Xi Wang replied in a calm voice, "Killing you is easy, but your people will remember this moment. They will gather forces and endure this pain and humiliation.ter on, they wille and raze the Elf n to the ground. I cannot let that happen. Only you can control the heart of your people. As for your fallenrades, I offer my heartiest condolences. May they rest in peace, they were brave warriors."


    His words were sincere. The Orc leader sighed, he said, "I surrender." with that said, he dropped the war hammer in his hand on the ground.


    The surrounding orcs all saw this, their bodies trembled and after a few seconds they all also dropped their weapons. Throughout the battlefield on the sound of metal nking on the ground echoed.


    You Xi Wang nodded to his friends and they all took back their weapons. The Orc leader said, "Ounder, what is your name?"


    The boy replied, "You Xi Wang, what is yours?" He also extended his hand to the Orc leader with this sentence.


    The Orc Leader was confused for a second. Neo spoke up from the side, "You have the heart of a leader. For the sake of your people, you overlooked your pride and dignity. We extend a hand of friendship to you and your people." his voice was loud and it echoed throughout the battlefield.


    Ilex and the elves were surprised at this. Sensing their emotions Lily said, "Xixi wants to eradicate the problem from the roots. No wars will happen in the future. You can rx and arrange for a formal meeting." her words woke up the rest.


    Lena asked You Zhichi, "Captian, who are these two kids?"


    The Celestial Maiden replied with a smile, "Disciples of my brother. Also, the golden hair one is my adoptive sister while the one who spoke is my niece. They are smarter than some of the people here." she revealed a strong feeling of pride when she said this.


    The You family people were fine but the rest were just surprised to see such genius children. You have to know that they also made a grade five barrier around. Celestia said, "It would be nice if you can have some tents erected right here. Ask all your advisors toe over for the meeting but make sure they carry no weapons, lest the Orcs find you guys not trusting them enough and makes my big brother''s effort go in vain."


    The two kids were bossing around the queen of Elves, yet the other party did not dare to counter. The reason was that If You Xi Wang found them too overbearing, he might y the elves. They were all scared by his earlier disy. Ilexmanded her troops to erect some tents as soon as possible.


    You Xi Wang, on the other hand, was busy talking to the Orc leader. He asked, "Wars are fought for reasons. What is your reason to wage a war on Elves? Chief Djal."


    The Orcs followed a tribe system. Djal was the chief of the united Orc alliance army. He was the stronger among the tribe chiefs. He replied, "We orcs live in a volcanic region. It is barely able to feed us, but in winters the situation bes worse. Some tribes even resorted to cannibalism. So we decided to move. The constant movement led us to unify the Orc tribes. Yet the piece ofnd we have cannot support arge number of our people.


    So the alliance agreed to wage war on the closest settlement to save the imminent threat of hunger. The closest were these elves." He exined how the children were left for the females to nurture a few miles away.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "How about you set up a trading treaty with the Elves?"


    The Orc leader was stunned. His mind did not register what You Xi Wang just said. Fenny sighed and said, "You Orcs are good at using strength for a lot of things. You can work with Elves. Do the things they cannot and they can provide you with food and shelter in return. Your children will grow with sufficient food and resources. Think about it."


    Djal fell into thought and then he said, "I would like to discuss this with the fellow chiefs."


    The phantoms nodded and told them toe to the tents if they agree with this suggestion. After that, they walked back to the people and entered sighed. An said, "Okay, now we can have some supplements. This battle was too chaotic and strenuous."


    You Xi wang took this moment to exin the things to the rookies. The crowd sat down on the ground as the boy started to teach them. Fenny, Yuki, Neo, and An all contributed to the lecture. Ilex was listening on the side she was surprised by the way they taught the crowd. She finally understood that how wrong she was.


    Her impression of the crowd was simr to that of Djal. She thought that these people were all as strong as these five if not more. Only now did she realize that the rest were rookies. Just as the lecture finished, Djal walked over with five Orcs.


    Orcs had a tall and sturdy body. If not for the color of their skin and a single horn protruding from their forehead. They might not look any different from human beings.


    Djal took the lead and said, "You Xi Wang, we agree to your suggestion but the elves would have to swear in the name of their deity. We will do the same to make sure that this arrangement is followed on both sides."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Very Well. Your majesty Ilex. Discuss this with your councilmen first. We will wait outside."


    Ilex nodded and left to discuss with her people. Djal then waited with You Xi Wang. Suddenly, Celestia walked over with Lily. She asked You Xi Wang, "Big brother, have some tea."


    You Xi Wang crouched down in front of them and asked, "Where did you two fairies found tea?"


    Lily smiled and said, "Sister Gena gave us a sk. She asked us to share it with you. She is very nice, Xixi."


    The boy asked, "Is she?" he raised his head to locate Gena. He found her talking to Yuki and she had a blush on her face.


    He was about to go over when the system said, [Master, Orcs have a good body training method. You should ask them if you have a chance.]


    You Xi Wang turned his head to look at Djal and the others. He took the sk and the cups from Celestia and Lily. Then he poured them all a cup. He said, "This tea is my respect to you brave warriors."


    The Orcs had recognised his strength, they chugged on the tea in one gulp. After that, Djal took out a gourd and handed it to You Xi Wang with both hands. he said, "We also offer you a brew of our tribe. It is a bit strong, but if you do not dislike this please partake."


    You Xi Wang smiled and epted the gourd bottle. He drank the brew and felt that it''s taste was simr to Moutai. Ilex came out of the tent and she started talking with Djal. The two people bowed to each other. The leaders took an oath in the name of their deities. Followed by the citizens.


    Soon the atmosphere began to change the people all started to feast together and the Orcs started to dance around small bonfires. The dance was to send off theirrades who fell to death in the battle today. You Xi Wang and the rest sat down and prayed for the deceased.


    Celestia and Lily recorded the ceremony with there cameras. They did not speak but they could feel the dread of war. When they returned to You Xi Wang he told them, "Know how to use a weapon, but also know what to use it for. While you protect yourself and someone close to you with a weapon in your hand, it might hurt someone who is close to someone else. To use a weapon, you need not only strong arms but also a strong heart.


    Those who passed away today, they all were men and women with strong heart and strong arms. So, strengthen your hearts as well as you grow up. Okay?"


    The two kids snuggled in his arms as they nodded. You Xi Wang was sitting on the ground while You Zhichi sat on a chair behind him. The rest of the humans were also sitting or standing around them.


    The war came to an end with one battle and countless deaths.

 Chapter 291: Satyr.

    Chapter 291: Satyr.


    The next morning, Ilex had the Orcs settle in their cities. The Elven nation had undergone a tremendous change they did not have the tech or the sci-fi vibe about them now. They were all now rejuvenating their old ways.


    The nature city had totally be a match for its name. The ss buildings were now covered with green vines. The streets had no traffic. As for the mounts, they trained elegant steeds outside the city. You Xi Wang walked around with a big smile on his face. he also found out that they have given up on using high-tech weaponry, but switched back to bow&arrow and long swords, spears. He liked this.


    Call him selfish, but this was how Elves were supposed to be. Close to nature. The reason for their previous plight was their blind chase for development and scientific excellence. Ilex wanted to assign a grand hotel for the people he brought but You Xi Wang refused it.


    He had these people stay outside in the field where they fought yesterday. At this moment he stood facing the rookies and said, "Wherever you go, you first find a ce to live, but you will only know the value of a shelter when you earn one."


    The rookies were confused when they heard this. Fenny spoke, "Noobies, get your asses moving and build yourself barracks. Males on the right females on the left. You have till the evening. if you can make a satisfying barrack in by coordinating together then all well and good. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your days here, under the bright starry sky."


    The rookies went stiff as they heard this, one of them asked, "REPORT."


    An said, "Proceed."


    The rookie asked with some hesitation, "Sirs, will you also make the barrack with us?"


    The five people started tough as if they heard a joke. Neo said, "Watch and learn kid."


    He grunted, a triangle formed out of the ground, yet it did not stop, soon four walls were also erected. An blew on the mud and removed the impurities while Yuki blew a cold breath to harden the walls. You Xi Wang waved his hand, a strong gust of wind cut out windows and doors in the thing.


    Neo said, "We can use the same way to make rooms as well. Oh yeah, make sure that you guys don''t forget a proper sewage system or you will ruin the scenery by adding mounds to it. Dismissed."


    You Zhichi quickly separated the girls from the boys and they started to act. Fenny said, "Baby Wang, who do you think will win?"


    The boy smiled and replied, "Well, we have forbidden Gena from helping, even big sis will only supervise. The boys have no one else, but they are notpletely hopeless. The girls have one big team while they have five different smaller teams. The world load is equally divided."


    Yuki said, "Xi Wang, let''s go for a walk. I have something to talk about."


    Neo said, "Beauty Yu, do I wait for you toe back before I finalize your room?"


    Yuki said, "I will share with Xi Wang, you make the extra one for Celes and Lily. They will stay with us. Big Momma will select theyout of the house."


    Her words did surprise them but they were now almost used to it. The two were now acknowledged by the family. Fenny nodded and the three people went inside the house to start working. While the love birds held each other''s hand and started to walk toward the city. Gena and the kids were there to study spirit runes.


    There were a lot ofmon things in the world. Spirit Runes were an example. Elven people were very proficient in this knowledge while theygged in arrays. You Xi Wang held onto Yuki''s soft gentle hand and asked, "What is it? I can sense that you want to say something to me."


    Yuki nodded and said, "Gena is in love with you."


    There you have it, straight and sharp like a sword. She continued, "Ever since you helped her with her voice she has taken a liking for you, and then the rest of the events have made this liking evolve into love. She has been epted by the others. You do not need to think over that. What we ask you to do is to ept that girl, if not for yourself, do it for us. She is very gentle and caring Xi Wang. Please think about it."


    The system said, [Okay, so now your future wife is chasing skirt for you.]


    You Xi Wang rebuked him, [Shut up, bitch.]


    He gazed at Yuki and said, "Why was I not told about this earlier?"


    Yuki scrunched her nose a bit and said, "As if I had a good chance to do it. You were busy with clearance and battles. Do you know that day when you fired that thing you and Fenny were so nuts about? Gena cried when she saw you fall on the ground."


    She talked about how Gena has been keeping her feelings in check and not showing it in front of her. Turns out that Yuki also found out by a coincidence. The more You Xi Wang knew the surprised he became. As the two reached the city gates.


    The boy said, "I am not too sure about it Yuki. I think I will need time to cater this emotion and special feeling with her."


    Yuki nodded and said, "We only ask for this. Also, you hooligan, how dare you to do all my sisters in one noon. Are you a monster? They were all blush like monkey butts."


    You Xi Wang scratched the back of his head. He had no reply for this one. That day he was boiling with passion. The two people came inside the city gates. They were headed to the City Library. The guards in the city all had scenes of how You Xi Wang and Yuki fought yesterday, they would all bow to the couple slightly.


    The two would smile and nodded their head in reply. Yuki even teased You Xi Wang about some Elven Chicks blushing when he smiled at them. Thetter also said the same for her as the elven men gazed at him with extreme envy.


    The two bantered their way to the library. They were about to enter when they found that the two little fairies were walking out holding Gena''s hand on each side. They both had a skip in their step. Suddenly they saw You Xi Wang and came to his side. The boy also bent down and scooped them up in his arms.


    He asked with a smile, "Hoho, looking at you two, something good happened?"


    Celestia replied, "We found Rune engraving books. It can strengthen spirit weapons, even turn ordinary clothes into armor."


    Lily continued, "Xixi, these runes are called enhancement runes. They have nine levels. Also, if one engraves them on their body, they can make their body strong as well."


    The two kids rambled on and on about it. They were totally psyched about what they learned in the library. They asked the curator if they can take a digital copy of it forter. They had not yet developed an invincible memory.


    The curator allowed them the request with a smile on her face. The girls were happy. Yuki suddenly said, "If they want to eat some good candies. Elves have a sweet tooth and so do these kids. You Xi Wang warned them to not overeat lest they get cavities. Their bodies were not yetpletely tempered.


    Yuki did this to give You Xi Wang and Gena some time together. The two people stood in their ce for a few minutes, none of them spoke. The famous awkward silence. You Xi Wang asked, "How have you been Gena?"


    Gena flinched and nodded shyly. The two then started to walk back to the camp and You Xi Wang started to ask her about a lot of things. Like how were the kids, Gena was full of praises for them. He asked if the runes they found here were any good? Gena nodded and told him about herprehension.


    The girl showed him the digital copy they took from the library records. They found a grass patch outside the city and sat down there discussing the runes. The distance between them gradually shortened. Soon they were talking like they used to back on the Lost sector. Suddenly the boy asked, "Gena, do you like me?"


    The girl was surprised and then she took a deep breath. She calmed down and said, "Yes, I do. Even if you do not like me can we still stay friends?" her voice was getting lower and softer as she spoke thest few words.


    The boy shook his head and said, "The first time I saw you, I felt intrigued. The curiosity made us friends. We are still friends, will stay like this. It may take some time, but who knows if we actually fell in love. I only hope that you can tolerate me till then."


    Gena replied, "Always." she had a sweet smile on her face.


    You Xi Wang smiled and suddenly they heard two voices, "SO, SISTER GENA IS OUR SISTER-IN-LAW." the two girls came back with Yuki and they seem to have heard the conversation now.


    Lily said, "Xixi is such a womanizer."


    Celestia said, "Humph, Satyr."

 Chapter 292: Not Easy.

    Chapter 292: Not Easy.


    The teams sessfully built two barracks for themselves. Bother buildings were three-floor high and had enough space for the people to sleep and rest. They all had some education regarding civil structures and as Core formation cultivators they were smart enough to follow the instructions of the technicians who had a basic knowledge.


    The people slept contently yet the pain came too soon. They were all woken up harshly the next morning. The sun has not yet risen when You Xi Wang woke them all up. He had them freshen up and sit down facing the horizon to meditate.


    The purpose was to have them develop the habit to sleep to the bare minimum. They were all tired from the teleportation plus the heavy work for building the barrack. Thus they were all sleeping deeply. Another purpose was to make the people absorb the active spiritual energy.


    This sort of spiritual energy can only be absorbed when the sun rises on the horizon. The spirit energy itself gets rejuvenated when the sun shines upon it after 12 hours. This is why it is called active spirit energy. The vitality is ten times more than the normal spirit energy.


    When the people were done absorbing the active spirit energy, they were all asked to spar with You Xi Wang and the other five. Gena joined them, she was not weak but one of the best fighters they had on Lost Sector. Her eyes yed a vital role in herbat prowess. The rookies did not hold back as they all saw their actual skills, yet they were all beaten blue and ck.


    You Xi Wang said after the spar, "You all will spend one hour in the medicinal bath we prepared in the pool behind the barracks. After that, we will continue the training again. Also, you get five minutes to eat as well. Go. The time starts now."


    You Zhichi and her team were no exception. They were also weak in thebat aspect. They all needed this training as well. The celestial maiden only called them over as none knew when they might need to fight thus it has been a long time she had indulged with her team.


    The rookies got inside the bath. Male and female pools were separated by illusion and barrier arrays. It only took the phantoms five minutes to make this area. You Xi Wang had bought a lot of body tempering medicinal powder that was blended in with the water in the pool. To ensure that the people have a strong physique as they develop.


    After an hour the people came back. They were all dazed, after two minutes in the pool. Their pains vanished, five minutes more there bruises vanished. Ten minutes and they all became refreshed again, as they set in the pool, finally their fatigue was reced by energy and strength. They were surprised by the changes.


    They all murmured among themselves.


    "You Xi Wang is a good guy, I can feel my strength bing more profound even though it is a slight gain."


    "I know right, also I wonder what he would do after this?"


    They were all anticipating future training. After an hour when they came out of the pool, they never imagined that they will be beaten again, this time the pain was also stronger and some people directly fainted and they all started to spend their time inside the pool and the field.


    You Xi Wang and the rest were not merciful at all. After a week he started to infuse his spirit energy with the attacks. The phantoms had be a nightmare to the rookies. You Xi Wang changed theposition of the medicinal mixture. He advised them all to endure the pain as they soaked in the marrow washing pond.


    His grandmother had given him a lot of medicinal aid before she left for the Chen family. Those packets of medicinal powders were all being used now. After seven days thebatants started tost longer. You Zhichi was always thest one to fall down and now she woulde to tie. Yet they all knew that the people are still not fighting seriously.


    The phantoms did not move in a team formation at all. They fought independently and also did not use live ammunition and weapon intents. But the third week brought a change in the routine. God knows where You Xi Wang came up with the idea of night raids and surprise attacks on the people. In the training he started to have Celestia and Lily y as an ally.


    The role of allies was over powered. They can not be harmed but can only be dodged. Neo erected two high poles and the two fairies would watch the scene from the top. Later they would randomly trigger the array formations they haveid out in the battle field, adding to the trouble of the rookies. They would also sometimes help rookies, if they won the toss before the battle.


    But You Xi Wang or Gena would immediately spot their movement and avoid the traps while alerting others. The time in this dimension was slower then the one You Xi Wang and the rest belonged to. After the fourth week, he talked to Ilex who happily allowed them to visit the spiritke.


    The crowd was baffled but they were kept in control by the team leaders. Their happiness costed thema week of tears. The phantoms started to get serious, they would fight with them holding weapons and You Xi Wang even courtesiously told them toe at him with the intent to kill or they won''t survive his hits.


    He held up to his words, the first day he and the phantoms sent thirty eight guys in the medical pods for recovery. The casualties included, broken limbs to amputations. Thank god for the medical excellence of the modern technology that these people did not receive any major after effects. Yet they did noty down hin front of You Xi Wang.


    As soon as the rookies entered thebat mode, they were ruthless. At the end of the month, An gave them all a test. The test was topare their own growth with their first ever recorded performance when they came to this ce. The results were shocking.


    The people were now capable to appear in an executioner exam and pass directly. Yet You Xi wang scolded them and said, "You think this is the best that you can do? I should send you back, so that you do not shame my name. What is your goal toe here?"


    The happy and excited crowd suddenly turned somber and they all started to admire the grass below their feet. Well things had just started to worsen. You Xi Wang found some young Orcs. who were at the peak of their life. and had them challenge the rookies.


    Orcs were all battle hardened people. They left the humans in misery. The punishment of loss was half the food, one set of clothes and if you lost three times in session you sleep under the stars.


    The weather was freezing at night, to make it a punishment the person subjected to this punishment will have the spirit energy sealed. The people suffered but they used this suffering to fuel themselves. The performance gradually improved and the rookies started to deal with the Orcs as well. They started to develop what You Xi Wang wanted them to develop. The battle instinct and vignce.


    Soon the people who spent nights outside became zero. The rookies all developed a good bond and they all started to learn from each other. This was what boosted their performance to an another level.


    The rtionship between Gena and the boy wonder also deepened slowly. One day, however, Sasha, the elven secretary came to the camp. She came with a summon for You Xi Wang and the important people in the camp.


    You Xi Wang, You Zhichi and Fenny came to the court of the elven queen.


    The boy asked, "Your Majesty, you summoned us?"


    Ilex nodded gently and said, "Sir, we have a situation that needs your guidance. If you may, please."


    The boy asked, "What is it?"


    Ilex spoke after she inted her already fluffy mountains, "The Dwarves want to resettle themselves near the city. They have sent a messenger asking for a audience."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Why do they want to move so suddenly?"


    Ilex shook her head and said, "I have no idea but the dwarves are a very grumpy species. I have no idea about how to deal with them. So, sir please help us." a queen humbling herself to an ounder.


    The reason was that Forest elves were humble species, they did not know malice now arrogance. Just like nature. The boy thought for a bit and said, "Okay. I will attend the meeting. I thank you for the prestige."


    Ilex nodded to him simrly. In her mind she thought, ''This guy is not easy.''

 Chapter 293: Deterrence.

    Chapter 293: Deterrence.


    After the promise to Ilex, You Xi Wang returned to the camp with his sister and Fenny. You Zhichi asked, "Why did you agree easily?"


    The boy replied, "I sense an opportunity."


    Fenny asked, "borate."


    "A gut feeling, nothing much. Let us see, how it goes. Also, Big sis, keep watch over the camp. Just let Fennye with me. With you there, I will not be worried that if we started fighting, then you can cast arrays for protection and support." His voice was calm and stable.


    Suddenly Fenny said, "Baby Wang, is that person a bit like Big Bro An?" she was pointing to their right. The other two quickly followed her finger and You Xi Wang spotted a handsome Youngman with red hair walking around with a girl with ck hair.


    You Zhichi spoke in surprise, "Isn''t that girl from your family, Fenny?"


    Fenny focused on the girl and eximed, "Hey, that is my cousin, Stacy. Damn, she hooked up with big bro? Why is she walking like that?" she was about to check what was going on when she was stopped in her tracks.


    A big warm hand held onto her wrist. It was You Xi Wang obviously, who said, "I am sorry, big brother has lost his innocence and finally became a man of the secr world." His tone was as if something bad happened.


    You Zhichi shook her head and pinched his ear hard. The boy wailed. He was not vignt and his sister did not let go of the opportunity. The wail was strong enough to alert the couple in the distance. The two were shocked and just when they were about to turn around and leave, Fenny said in a loud voice, "You regret that. I swear, I will tease you both till the end of the world."


    The two people stopped in their tracks. The terror of the acid tongue still runs strong. They walked over and You Zhichi smiled at them. She congratted and said, "Fenny, go easy, okay?" her warm tone made Fenny pout but she said, "Well okay, for big sister''s face. You two will have it easy."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Since when have you two been together?"


    An replied calmly, "Four years."


    Fenny and the maestro exchanged nces of surprise. The former asked, " I want full details right now." her question was more like a demand.


    Turned out, An''s family owned a hotel where Stacy''s father was a general manager. The two have met quite a few times. They had taken a liking to each other and have been dating for four years. Today when they were meeting in secret, they could not control each other and sealed the deal.


    You Xi Wang smirked and said, "Turned out Big Brother was a phony Saint."


    Fenny nodded and said, "Oh, the waste of our trust. He did not even tell us. How could you do this to your life and death partners? baby Wang, let us go, these two might have some unfinished ''Humping.''"


    You Xi Wang rigorously nodded and said, "Yes, Big Momma. let us go. The other two need to know." and they walked away quickly, leaving An, Stacy and You Zhichi behind with a smile.


    An shook his head and said, "Stacy, they are going to cause a ruckus." a helpless smile surfaced on his face. Stacy smiled and said, "You are lucky to have them, An. I don''t mind little banter. Come let us go see what they are doing."


    The three followed and when they reached the camp. They found Neo sitting on the ground with a listless expression. Yuki was even more dramatic. She hugged Fenny and even cried. An shook his head and said, "How old are you all,e on."


    Neo looked at You Xi Wang and said, "You know, Bro Wang, I seem to hear the vestiges of Big brother An."


    Thetter followed along and said in a sad voice, "Me too."


    Yuki cried in Fenny''s arms and said, "Why did he not tell us? Oh, my poor heart." as if these humans were not enough, they even had their hounds howl sadly along with them.


    Let alone their own beasts, even An''spanion Shroud howled along with them. The target sighed and took out his gun and said, "Brats, I will shoot you in the ass."


    Fenny cried, "Big brother An has be a demon. Also, he seems to like ass. Run for your tushies." and they started running. The second half of the lewd joke made Stacy blush fiery. Everyone in the camp saw how the four phantoms ran, as An chased behind them. He even shot at them all. Thankfully, they were quick enough to dodge it.


    Only after an hour did, the people stop ying like children and they all sat down together. They exchanged nces andughed out hard. The camp held a party that night. Three days passed as the people when Sasha arrived at the camp again. She was here with a message, ''The dwarf elders have arrived, and they are grumpy enough to almost making Ilex throw them out of the city."


    You Xi Wang came to the court with Fenny. The court was the same as thest time, but this time Orc Elders and Ilex were sitting around a round table. You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Nicely done, Your Majesty."


    Ilex shook her head and said, "It was Madam Gena''s suggestion to dissolve the court of Elves and form the Magical Alliance. We are magical creatures. You call it spiritual energy we call it mana. Orc Elders supervise the chiefs, so they were invited to sit at the table with us and discuss the welfare of the two species together. This way we will ensure harmony among our people."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "You have thought well. May I ask where is the dwarf elder?"


    Ilex gave him a wry smile and said, "They disagree toe to the council. they say that they will not acknowledge Orcs, equal to themselves."


    You Xi Wang shook his head. "Then you can tell them to leave the nation of Elves. Or you will have them thrown out. You need to take control of the situation. This is your nation. This is yournd. If you do not take action, then who will? Fuck their grumpiness. Have Sasha deliver the message loud and clear that it is they who seek aid and not you or the Orcs."


    Ilex nodded, and she let Sasha go. They all found You Xi Wang''s argument sound and reasonable. After all, the guest only deserves courtesy when the guest shows them courtesy and respect. Soon, the council hall rang with a sharp grumpy voice, "Humph. Do you people think, you can bully us? Only the spirit weapons I can forge are enough to kill you all. Who is it that dares to throw us out? show me."


    Sasha led in a three feet tall and burly humanoid creature. She made the introductions, "This is the Dwarf elder and chief, Alcalde."


    Ilex nodded to Sasha and let her go out of the room. The dwarf rattled again. "You are the Elf Queen? How dare you threaten me and my people? Give me an exnation and also how can these brawn for brain people sit among us?"


    You Xi Wang had enough of him and said, "The smaller you are, the louder you shout. Turns out it is true. Fenny, Do you think people Celes and Lily can deal with him?"


    Fenny chuckled, "They eat five like him in breakfast, lunch, and dinner each. You tell me, can they deal with him?"


    The boyughed and said, "You are correct indeed."


    The council hall fell silent and the dwarf elder turned cherry red. he yelled, "HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF ME, FILTHY OUTLANDER. I WILL KILL YOU, EVEN YOUR PARENTS WILL REGRET GIVING BIRTH TO YOU."


    Fenny said, "Oops," as she shook her head. Well, as soon as the dwarf was done with this sentence, he did not have time to continue, and a strong intent to kill erupted from You Xi Wang and covered him like a nket of death.


    The dwarf fell silent. Shock and fear surfaced in his eyes. Fenny said, ''You better watch your mouth, shorty. The only reason you are alive is that my brother is not interested in finding what is the color of your blood. Remember, this is thest time. You will not have the time to use the spirit weapons you were so proud of just now."


    To be honest, Fenny did not need to warn him. As soon as the killing intent covered him. The dwarf had only one thought in his mind, ''I am dead''


    As for the warning, he believed every word, because the boy in front of him gave him a feeling as if a sharp sword was looming over his head, ready to im it. You Xi Wang, took back his killing intent and said, "Speak, why do you seek to move your ancestral settlements?"


    One action and the dwarf was deterred.

 Chapter 294: Unlocked.

    Chapter 294: Unlocked.


    The dwarf elder was surprised by the situation. He calmed down and said, "Thend is haunted."


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow, he has been watching his expressions to find out whether the dwarf was telling the truth. the boy asked, "What do you mean haunted?"


    The elder replied, ''The mines are covered with ck fog. The miners have reported that sometimes they hear the sound of hammer nks. A few days ago one whole batch of miners went missing inside. We sent a search party but we only found dead bodies. Thus the elders decided that we should move. We cannot have our people die needlessly."


    You Xi Wang turned to Fenny, he asked, "Could it be the dark fog we faced in the lost sector?"


    Fenny raised her eyebrow and replied, "It may or may not. How about we confirm the possibilities?"


    The boy thought for a bit and then nodded. he said, "Let us go. The rookies will be tested as well." then he turned to the dwarf elder and said, "I and my people will follow you back to your residence. We would like to check the mines."


    The dwarf elder hesitated and nodded. How can he defy this monster in front of him? The council came to an end. Djal the Orc chief came to You Xi Wang when he was leaving. he volunteered to apany him on the way. He was aware of this ce and the danger they might face ahead.


    You Xi Wang epted his help and thanked him. They were truly foes turned friends. Most importantly You Xi Wang was confident in taking anything he could throw on him. the two people returned to the camp.


    Fenny called over everyone as soon as they arrived. The squad gathered in front of them. You Xi Wang spoke, "We have an assignment. We are to visit the dwarven n, explore their mines, and clear up any dark piece of filth we may encounter there. It is a very dangerous task but what youck at the moment is battle experience.


    Mock battles are mock battles while real battles are something entirely different. One mistake can lead to the death of the whole squad. Do you understand what I mean?"


    His loud voice made the people alert and scared. Yet they still replied, "YES, SIR." in unison.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said to Fenny, "Show them some of the clippings from the lost sector."


    They were all sworn in when they went to the lost sector to not reveal the location of the ce and the living conditions etc. Yet some of the battle clippings were made public by the council itself. So it was alright for them to show what they went through to the rookies.


    Fenny projected the clips in the sky using the holographic projection in hermunicator. The scenes in the clippings shocked the people. Especially when a Minotaur suddenly appeared behind Neo and shed down with his battle-ax, thankfully You Xi wang appeared in time and killed the minotaur.


    Such scenes happened a lot many times and the people gasped repeatedly. After the clippings ended Fenny asked, ''What did you see?"


    You Zhichi replied, "The dark forces have no order. They are a mess, and this mess counters the order of our forces perfectly. If I must say, at some areas they were even better than your squad."


    Fenny nodded. An stepped up and said, "What you need to know is that if you hesitated, you will die. If you let down your guard, you will die. If you die, the whole squad will die. A squad can only survive when they work together like clockwork. Understood?"


    The squad replied, "YES, SIR."


    Neo stepped up and said, "be flexible with your approach and trust in your team. Firstes your squad, thenes your team and if you are still alive after that, you can fight for yourself. Understood?"


    "YES, SIR."


    Celestia and Lily were standing beside You Zhichi. The former said, "If you dared to hold back My big brother, I will cast a lightning array in your battle suits. Your tushies will be zapped."


    Lily followed up, "And can we add tickling runes as well?" Celestia nodded vigorously. The two kids were innocent devils. Everyone broke out inughter.


    You Xi Wang said, "You two little ones, are not going along with us. This is not up for discussion. I will be dead worried if you followed along. Also, A few of the rookies are to stay here, in case something happened to the rest. You can bring the word back home. I will not be having any arguments about it. We can only fight when we have no stress over ur heads."


    You Zhichi nodded and she also said the same thing to the people. Next, they selected the 45 best of them all and started to prepare. That whole night Celestia and Lily stuck to You Xi Wang like shadows. Later, they fell asleep in his arms. Yuki spoke in a low voice, "They are still the same as they were when we visited the Chen family."


    You XI Wang nodded and said, "I just hope they don''t worry too much. You know Yuki, the more rtions I have the more worried I am. Worried about what will I do if one day I walked too ahead of people? What if I could not keep them together as one?"


    Yuki smiled sweetly. She sat down next to him and said, "Rtionships are held by both ends. The other people also need to work for the sake of it. You worry too much. Your rtions are your strength. Or do you think that nobody will notice that you work harder every moment for the sake of these rtionships?"


    You Xi Wang smiled but did not answer at all. He said, "If only things would stay like this forever. I seriously do not know what I will do if you guys are not around me."


    Yuki shook her head and said, "Xi Wang, my love. The love we feel always stays within our hearts. Till the moment you have this love inside you. You are never alone. Only when you understand that sometimes people may be away from you but they will be never gone, can only you step ahead. Only then can you truly lead others ahead."


    As he heard these words, something inside his soul unlocked. he felt a strange burden lift up from his chest and he was immersed in an epiphany.

 Chapter 295: Prepping For The Journey.

    Chapter 295: Prepping For The Journey.


    Two days passed since You Xi Wang had made arrangements with the dwarven elder. He has been sitting inside his room for these three days. He had a moment of epiphany when Yuki told him that he was worrying a little too much about everything on the path of cultivation by taking on the burden on his shoulders.


    He understood a few things after this and the bounding chains in his brain shattered. He had begun to look past the family and all. His thought process was simple, he would be strong so that his family and friends could have a peaceful life if he was to ascend. The system has been silent for a long time and it did not affect him.


    He opened his eyes to look at the room he and Yuki were not by his side anymore. He raised his left hand to check the time and was not surprised when he found that it has been three days since he has fallen into a meditative state. He stood up and leisurely stretched his body. He opened the door and found Maya guarding it.


    The furry beast has been hiding in his shadows since they came here, Except for guarding Celestia and Lily she was not asked to do much but when You Xi Wang was immersed in cultivation, she took it upon her to watch over his security.


    The boy patted her soft forehead gently and said, "You can rest now."


    Maya replied to him with her spiritual thought and said, "Brother Wang, Sister Yuki said, they will be waiting for you outside in the meeting hall for our people. They want to discuss the departure to the Dwarf nation."


    You Xi Wang nodded and the furry beast vanished inside his shadow. He made his way to the meeting hall they have prepared between the two barracks. On the way he was greeted by a few rookies, all saluted him. The boy replied with a smile and nod.


    Inside the meeting hall. Gena, Neo, An, Fenny, Yuki, You Zhichi, and the two little fairies were waiting for him. An said, "You broke through your mental binds?"


    You Xi Wang asked, "Is it that obvious?"


    The rest nodded. Celestia said, "Your aura has be more converged but it is not easy to sense for us. The reason we were able to know that you have woken up was that Maya told Shadow. We did not detect your arrival."


    You Xi Wang nodded. The spirit sense worked on intercepting waves emitted by other spirit senses of the people. However, the calmer and peaceful the spirit sea was the negligible the emittance caused. His undone entanglement had made him reach a new level of spiritual sensitivity. He said, "You all glorify me, and then you say I fly without wings."


    They all rolled their eyes at him. Gena said, "We need you to check the list of supplies we have made for the journey to the dwarven nation."


    You Xi Wang nodded and asked, "All right."


    Including the five phantoms and You Zhichi and her team, they had forty-five other rookies ready to go with them. The rest were to stay here and practice. Celestia and Lily were arranged to stay with Ilex and she was assigned a few female elven guards to look after the two little ones.


    The two girls had the identity of You Xi Wang''s little disciples and family members. You Zhichi had told Ilex in a very warm and gentle manner that if the girls were to suffer any harm, then she might not be able to help her, and You Xi Wang may level the ce in his rage.


    Ilex was pacified andpelled to assign guards from the depths of her heart. At first, the guards were reluctant but after a few hours when they got to know how funny and loveable the girls were they were smitten by them.


    You Xi Wang said, "You guy have done all that you could also what do you mean by spirit weapons?''


    Fenny and the two little ones startedughing and it was as if they have been praised. Yuki and Gena shook their heads, while Neo said, "These two girls and Fenny developed a rune engravement system. It is like a changeable array that can provide you with different boosts depending on different situations. Suppose your war boots need a speed boost so you can turn the regtor and the mini-array on the boots will change, in return, you will get the boost by a lightweight rune."


    You Xi Wang was surprised, he immediately asked them to show him how the thing worked and it was shown to him with glee on their faces.


    ...


    In the center of the dull meeting room was a big table. There were no chairs in the ce because they will be using this ce for military meetings. Fenny said, "Baby Wang, use it and tell me what do you think?"


    You Xi Wang took the weapon in his hand from the table. An exquisite de it was, however, a circr regtor was attached to the handle of the sword. He tried to channel his spirit energy inside the sword and frowned slightly. After a few minutes, he turned the regtor and stopped. Then he said, "This is not applicable practically. In the battles, people will have no time to tweak the regtor. So you need to change this."


    The three people did not feel disappointed but nodded. They had taken this thing into ount when they were making this prototype. Now You Xi Wang just confirmed his facts. Fenny asked, "Say, what can be the solution?"


    This question made the cogs and gears inside You Xi Wang''s head started to turn at high speed. After a few minutes of contemtion, he said, "We can use spirit channels."


    Lily asked, "Spirit Channels?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Do you know about the spirit channels used an array itself?"


    Celestia replied, "The spirit stones connected in a line form spirit channels, and they form an array."


    "Smart girl. We can use specific channels and engrave multiple runes on the de and the weapons. The user can channel his spirit energy inside the jades and activate the runes by spirit channels." said You Xi Wang.


    His suggestion made everyone be stumped. The three girls were energized. The two little girls kissed him on the cheeks and ran away. They had just taken a few steps before they stopped and came back to him and they said, "Give us your weapons."


    You Xi Wang knew what they were going to do so he gave up his weapons to the two of them. He said, "Be careful and do not run your spirit through these. They are spiritual. Okay?"


    His weapon spirits were also instructed by him to not do anything to the people when they augment them. He gave a look to Fenny and said, "Bro, be careful, please."


    Fenny was aware of what the risks were with handling the spiritual weapons and assured him about it. She left the meeting room with the two girls. You Xi Wang also had to go out and check the schedule with the dwarven elder. He wanted to set off for the tunnels as soon as possible.

 Chapter 296: March.

    Chapter 296: March.


    You Xi Wang came to the alliance hall. He found Ilex talking with Djal about something rted to the arrangement of the troops. Sasha was guiding him to the meeting room. The people noticed the handsome devil walking over and his presence was even more mysterious today. They all stood up and bowed to him.


    The boy smiled and said, "Why are you all so stiff? Well, you guys are beyond my help. Now, Djal, are your people ready? I wanted to ask if we can travel at night? Is it safe?"


    Djal node and said, "Yes, the troops are ready. We can leave whenever youmand. As for whether we should march at night or the morning that you will have to ask the dwarf elder. I have no idea what sort of terrain it is from here to there."


    You Xi Wang looked around and did not find the grumpy old dwarf. He asked, ''Where is the dwarf elder, Alcalde?"


    Ilex said, "He will be here. He said he needed to brief his kinsmen to be on their best behavior around you."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "Well, he had toment on my parents. He was lucky to say it under your roof. I would have in him regardless for disrespecting my parents. Also, I am not some sort of a monster that only goes on killing regardless of anything."


    Ilex was well aware of this otherwise her city of elves would have long been leveled into a parking area by him. She nodded and said, "I am aware, Sir. What you have done for the Elf kind, is not something that we can repay by doing anything for you or your people. I just hope that if we make some mistake, you pardon us."


    She was about to lower her head and bow to him when a strong spiritual power held her up. You Xi Wang had used his soul force to hold her up. He said with a solemn face, "You may have dissolved the courtroom of the elves, and made the alliance of the spiritual beings, you still are the queen of elves. You have not done anything wrong and even helped us a lot.


    I, on the other hand, misused your token of gratitude by dragging my people here to train. We are using your spirit ponds and resources to strengthen ourselves. So if we can be of any help to you in return, we are grateful to do so. I apologize for any inconvenience caused."


    With that said, You Xi Wang lowered his head and bowed slightly to the Elf Queen in front of everyone. However, they did not dare to mistake it as his weakness but they understood that this boy was a virtuous person and not the battle maniac they took him to be.


    When the first time he came to the city of elves, he had an argument with some courtiers regarding the team carrying their weapons. Then he owned the Royal Elfb with his team and the final charge he showed was still fresh like yesterday even in the eyes of the people.


    You Xi Wang had shown his stand in front of the people for two reasons. Firstly to clear up the bloody mist around him, two to make sure that these people do not go and mess with his rookies left behind.


    Alcalde came over at this moment and he saw You Xi Wang exerting his soul force on Ilex. He immediately regretted his timing but then he saw the boy bowing down to Ilex in thanks. He was shocked and to confirm that it was not an illusion he even pinched his thigh. The stinging pain made him confirm that it was all true.


    He walked forward and said, "I apologize. The stress regarding the survival of my n has taken over my peace and calm. Please forgive me for my rude behavior. I seek your help, Sir You."


    You Xi Wang was not surprised, his mother used to tell him that if you are nice to the people, they are nice to you as well. Although it may not be true always but in some spots it was true. After all, everyone was not as cunning and disgusting as humans. Spiritual species all had their beliefs and they all had their reasons but once they trust you, they will trust you till the end.


    He heard what the Dwarven elder said and nodded. He asked, "Can we march out at night?"


    Alcalde replied, "We can but it will need some extra vignce."


    The boy nodded and said, "It is good, we will use this trip to train. Prepare for we will leave at night."


    Alcalde and Djal nodded and they left the spirit alliance hall to gather their men and luggage. Ilex began to arrange a means of transport for the people. Ogres did not use battle armors and neither did the dwarves.


    Fenny, however, had they all learn how to usems and handed it over to them. She actually bullied these guys into learning. She said, "If you slowed down the team, I will me you in front of Captain and you will die."


    Well, knowing that You Xi Wang might just do as she said, they all learned thems. She was cruel but it was all for the sake of her team''s safety. One mimunicated action can spell the demise of her team.


    The people were all gathered at the entrance of the elven city. The city had four gates in four directions at this moment they stood at the western gate. Ilex had arranged hoverboards for them but they were all refused by You Xi Wang. The training had begun so how could they use external help. The ogres were going to take a hike and so will they. The dwarves used their native animals. The speed will be equal to them.


    Celestia and Lily bade him farewell after handing over the spirit channel weapons. Themand of the squad was left to An''s girlfriend. You Xi Wang nced at the team and said, "MARCH OUT."


    "HOO-AH" with a war cry the team left the elven city.

 Chapter 297: Taming.

    Chapter 297: Taming.


    You Xi Wang gave themand and the people started to march out. Celestia and Lily waved their hands to them as they moved the rest of the rookies stood behind them in silence. Their resolve to get stronger evolved to another level after they were left behind.


    It was not that they were weak but they were not able to advance during that test. Before leaving You Xi Wang had told them to persist and endure this moment. They shall move forward and not lose sight of what they are. Only in hard times can they temper their will and move forward.


    The squad all believed the words of theirmander. You Xi Wang was a weak person but then he became what he is today in front of them. The elders in their families are not even able to touch his hair because he tempered himself in such situations. They admired him and he became their hope. They all chased after him in their path of cultivation.


    ...


    The team walked in a standard formation. A quadrant of forty-five people was evenly distributed. Djal wanted his men to be helpful so Fenny had them form a secondary circle of protection behind the first line of human soldiers. In the center of the formation, Alcalde and his dwarfpanions rode pygmy horses.


    Neo was in the front of the formation with An, while Yuki and You Zhichi were beside You Xi Wang in the center. Fenny and the sniper squad walked in the back with their stealth suits on, they were emergency support and cannot have them be affected by the squad moment if something broke out just in case.


    The terrain they were walking was said to be the safest by the Dwarves. It did have monsters but was rtively safe. You Xi Wang had no problems, his idea was to grind the troops. He had already prepared to be the aid and so were the experienced people. They had one aim for the journey, which was to reach the dwarven territory with the least casualties.


    The troublesome thing was that You Xi Wang did not allow them to stop walking. They can control the pace but they must not stop moving for more than a minute. If they did, he will have a duel with them right there. They did not wish to be mutted by this demon without the aid of the healing pond they had back in the camp.


    Some even regretted being the best among the rest. However, they did not dare to withdraw from this expedition or You Xi Wang might send them all back home directly and they will have to bear the shame of being a deserter. Thismander of theirs was such a tyrant that he had already stated the end of those who back out after joining the training.


    So they all walked with synchronized footsteps. However, they did not produce any noise. The reason being they were taught to walk silent stepped when on expeditions to not attract the monsters and people to them. After half a day, the quadrant stopped.


    A boy in the front spoke in the teamm, "Commander, there is a movement. Multiple targets, heading toward us from the north."


    You Xi Wang said, "Survaince up."


    The gunners in the quadrant all had drone cams. The cams were deployed and they received data immediately. The drones all used sonar and thermal detection. An said, "Wolves. Grade seven."


    Yuki said, "Our hounds are staying back for the girls. Do we hunt them ourselves?"


    You Zhichi said, "Can we not tame them? After all our insignia is also wolves."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Neo, What do you think?"


    "They have seventy wolves, one alpha at the back of the pack, he is grade eight. Still low inparison to Maya. I can hold it back. The rest are to be given to the rookies. They will duel and tame these guys. Tiem to expand forces. Also, this is not an ordinary wolf n." replied Neo.


    He was half a beast so his knowledge of beasts and monsters was higher than the rest. You Xi Wang trusted his words and said, "Big Momma, spread out and have the snipers support the quadrant in taming these beasts."


    Fenny replied, "Affirmative." With just that she and her sniper squad moved and dispersed in the surrounding forest.


    Djal asked, "Sir, can we also try and tame these guys?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "You can try. My people will support those who need it. Try not to use too much strength. Capturing and taming them is much more difficult than killing."


    Djal nodded in agreement. The soldier in front said, "Commander, the targets are one click away. Your orders, please."


    You Xi wang chuckled. His peal ofughter sent chills to their spines. The rookies did not head the conversation between these monsters but they were aware that it was not something they would enjoy. Just as they all feared, the demonmander said, "Your task is to tame these wolves. I do not care how you do it but you will do it. They must stay alive and the damage must not be serious. Make them acknowledge your strength and also gain their trust."


    His words made the people cry in their hearts, some even cursed him for being too hard. They had no option though. Neo had jumped forward and said, "I will be holding down the Alpha."


    Just then You Zhichi spoke, "Neo, I am taking down that Alpha. You can support the others."


    Her words shocked the people. The celestial maiden was known to be soft and easy going but she took initiative to take down the Alpha, which means she was serious about progress and her action raised the morale of the whole quadrant.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Let her go. The phantoms provide support." He asked his sister in the private channel if she has suitable weapons and after her affirmation and assurance of safety did he let her go.


    A loud howl sounded followed a lot of howls. You Xi Wang yelled loudly, "WHO ARE WE?"


    The quadrant replied, "THE PHANTOM SQUAD."


    You Xi Wangmanded, "GO."


    The quadrant dispersed and moved to meet the charging family of wolves.

 Chapter 298: Arrogance.

    Chapter 298: Arrogance.


    You Zhichi vanished from her ce and she flew over the front lines of the pack. In the back of the attacking wolves, the alpha was looking at the sky. It had sensed You Zhichi''s arrival and was prepared to attack.


    The celestial maiden nodded in her heart when she saw the reaction of this guy. worthy of being a level eight alpha wolf. She descended from the void but still did notnd on the ground. Her ethereal figure wrapped in white and blue battle armor, with the mask of a white wolf covering her face, looked like a goddess from heaven appeared to bless the wolf n.


    The alpha growled and the surrounding guardian wolves also lowered their bodies as they exposed their fangs to You Zhichi. The celestial maiden was not worried. She waved her hand and cast a few arrays in an instant. The guardian wolves were quickly suppressed. They let out a whining sound under the imprisonment array.


    You Zhichi had cast a spirit suppressing array, that prevented the wolves of any spirit channeling through their bodies if they wished to not experience maddening pain. You Zhichi spoke in her soft and gentle voice, "Stay obedient, you will not feel any pain. I came for your leader."


    The guardians stopped resisting. The pain was toopelling for them. The Alpha was not cruel to his people so he growled and ordered them to stay back. They were just normal mutts after the array impression anyway. The beasts were all smart and spiritual enough to understand humannguage.


    You Zhichi''s battle armor picked up the low growl emitted by the Alpha and smiled beneath the mask. This guy was a beast but he still had some sense ofpassion. However, her appreciation hade to an end soon.


    The alpha wolf raised his blood-red eyes at You Zhichi and transmitted his thoughts over, "Cunning creature, did youe here to be my food? It has been long since I had tender female flesh. What breed are you?"


    You Zhichi has never been talked so rudely. She was addressed with words like ''creature, tender female flesh, breed'' this arrogant fool did not know that the Celestial maiden was kind only when you are kind to her but she was extremely demonic once she was irritated. The alpha had sessfully irritated her.


    You Zhichi replied, "At first I want to give you a fair chance and let you be mypanion, but now you have pissed me off. I will have you be my pet. I hope you like a cor around that mane of yours."


    The wolf was surprised and was enraged even quickly when he heard these words. All the surrounding wolves had their fur standing like needles when they heard this. They did not dare to look at their Alpha directly in the eye, yet this female dared to challenge him? That too so rudely.


    They were angry at You Zhichi and scared of the rage of their leader. The Alpha transmitted his thoughts again, "You have enraged me by trampling on my dignity. I will make you beg for mercy."


    He opened his mouth and a streak of lightning shed at You Zhichi. The celestial maiden was angry but she was calm. The siblings had this quality that the angrier they became the calmer they will be. The calm is what scared people the most.


    You Zhichi did not move from her ce but raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Her snap echoed as if it was thunder in the sky.


    <em>Snap!!!</em>


    A halo condensed from the spirit energy in front of her and the lightning from the wolf fell on it. The next moment the lightning was absorbed by the halo and shot back at the wolf. The wolf did not expect this but he was prepared, the beasts had keener instincts. He jumped back to avoid the lightning and You Zhichi used this moment to move.


    She vanished from her ce and her figure appeared at the wolf''s side. She held a long spear in her hand. Yes, she had mastered Spear as her third main weapon. She used the sword as the first, whips as the second, and spears as the third.


    She was not serious with this ''mutt'' so spears would do. She stabbed her spear forward and a sharp piecing intent radiated from it. The wolf dodged in a hurry and was scared for a second. This female came at him with the intent to kill. He was confused, did she not said, she will take him as a pet. Who kills the pet. He felt deceived and was enraged. This female did not keep her word, so he wished to eat her even more.


    The wolf shed and vanished from his spot, a sharp and strong w came at You Zhichi from behind her and passed through. The girl had moved already and left an afterimage for the wolf to attack. The next moment a strong pain came from the wolf''s abdomen. A slender shaft has hit him on the side.


    The wolf flew away from the impact and whined as itnded. He cursed You Zhichi for being a monster in his heart. He opened his mouth again and spat lightning at the girl. The celestial maiden only swung her spear and dispelled the attack.


    Originally the disparity between the peak of primal soul and grade eight beast was not so much, but You Zhichi was just that talented to make this wolf feel helpless. The beast was hurt and he could not put his front leg on the ground from the injury on his side. You Zhichi saw this and after a few efforts of the alpha, when she saw that this guy was not good enough to sustain the challenge, she said, "Enough."


    She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, the wolf was ovee with a dreadful chill. It only saw a snowke falling over his snout and the next moment, the beast froze. Yet he can still hear and see everything. You Zhichi appeared in front of him and cast a few arrays, she said, "You will be my pet."


    The wolf showed her arrogance so in return he learned what true arrogance meant. You Zhichi was the heaven-defying talent, she was a maiden with a mirror for her heart. She will treat you the way you treat her.


    The girl waved her hand and vanished from the ce along with the Alpha wolf popsicle.

 Chapter 299: Done & Dusted.

    Chapter 299: Done & Dusted.


    You Zhichi had lifted the frozen wolf with her soul force and amidst the pack of wolves, she vanished along with the Alpha. The surrounding wolves lost their head and became anxious flies. This chaotic mess made things easier for the Phantom troop.


    The celestial maiden came back to the center of the formation where You Xi Wang was sitting on a boulder. She dropped the frozen wolf on the ground and sat on the boulder alongside her brother. Since Neo was not busy with the Alpha, he was ying You Xi wang''s role of free support with An.


    The boy could not stay behind when there was a fight going on. He would have dealt with the alpha with one move. It is not that he is stronger than You Zhichi but he is not soft and patient like her. The maestro asked his sister, "Any trouble/"


    You Zhichi shook her head and said, "Just a bit soft on opponents. Need to change that. Also, this mutt was rude to me. I will not take him as my equal beastpanion. he is destined to be my pet that is all or better, let him go away, I will find a better one."


    Her words were all beingprehended by the Alpha Wolf, he was enraged but helpless. Never had he thought that he would be tied up in such a situation? He was the king of this area yet this female disdained to take him as an equal beastpanion. First of all, what sort of wolf was this female. How could she walk on two legs and why did she use weapons like those ingrates? Can she not use her innate skills.


    The wolf was immersed in thoughts and he had no idea that his brain was being read by You Xi Wang like an open book in a public library. The wolf and the celestial maiden were surprised when You Xi Wang chuckled. His chuckle was not soft but heughed out so loud that all the people in the guard formation heard it.


    You Zhichi said, "Brat, are youughing at me?"


    "Big sis, you take off your mask, this wolf thinks you are a wolf beast as well. Thus he called you female," said You Xi Wang hardly controlling hisughter.


    You Zhichi was surprised even more and the wolf was thinking how could this guy read his thoughts, what sort of race was this. You Xi Wang took his mask off and said, "Yo, Tiberius. I am You Xi Wang, the people your n is facing are my people, we are humans, or what you can call, ounders."


    The alpha wolf was shocked to hear the person calling his name. He transmitted his thoughts, "How do you know my name? Who are you?"


    You Xi Wang replied patiently, "I am a passer-by, your n attacked my people so I decided to have them tamed. As for how do I know your name? Well, in short, I can read your mind and you just thought, ''WHAT SORT OF RACE IS THIS TO STAND IN FRONT OF ME THE GREAT TIBERIUS.''


    The wolf was so scared that he almost peed right then and there but thankfully his body functions were all frozen. He could not believe that he would meet a bigger monster than himself. You Xi Wang again chuckled and said, "You are lucky that my two little disciples have note or you would have begged me for death."


    In his heart, he apologized to Celestia and Lily for making them look like two monsters in front of this beast. That said, You Zhichi spoke, "Would you ept the seal with ease or shall I carve it on your forehead." and a carving knife appeared in her hand.


    The wolf was scared but he would never put down his dignity. He said with telepathy, "I ept that I was rude to you. I apologize for that, your mask and smell made me think you were a beast too. I did not mean to trample your dignity. When we beasts confront each other profanitiese out naturally. However, this will not make me surrender to you. You are stronger than me. Go ahead and kill me, but being a pet is not what I will ept."


    You ZHichi raised her eyebrow as she spoke, "Good eloquence, however, what gives you the idea that you still have a choice?"


    Tiberius replied, "You are a being that believes in honor. You would have carved the seal on my head already otherwise. I respect your strength and will ept the bond of the equals but never will I be a pet."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "What he says is correct. However, Tiberius, you will need to tone down. Even if the bond of equals is set you will be the one following my sister and never shall you do something on your own. How about?"


    He was testing the beast. After all, the stubbornness came innately to them, so how could it be so easy to have them set a bond of equals? What if this guy made a mistake and perished? You Zhichi will perish along with him, so they had to make sure.


    Tiberius thought in silence for a bit, he said, "I understand what you mean. I agree, I have no family, this n is all I have and I have no offspring as well. I am willing to follow her."


    The spirit beasts will die if they reach the age limit and could not breakthrough. This would be a natural death and will not affect the spiritual bond. Thus, the people could cast the bond of equals. You Zhichi saw You Xi Wang giving her a nod and engaged the bond of equals.


    After five minutes the bonding wasplete and Tiberius was now a member of the team. Watching their leader surrender the rest of the wolves also sumbed and surrendered leaving only a few. They were all taken care of by Djal and his warriors. The people now had one wolf each.

 Chapter 300: Dwarven Nation.

    Chapter 300: Dwarven Nation.


    You Xi Wang was resting on the back of a giant beast as the troupe moved forward. This beast was Tiberius. The wolf beast was five meters high with all his limbs on the ground. The back was big enough to amodate two people. You Zhichi would usually just sit on the back. She was a maiden, how could shey down in front of so many unknown people?


    Yuki and Gena had found a beast to share as well. Fenny and the sniper team were in the back and they also had beasts to ride. The pace of the people marching forward had enhanced. However, after one day, You Xi Wang gave out a demon order. The beasts were theirpanions and not pets. They must treat them with respect and honor. If anyone was found exploiting them he will be shedding ayer of skin inpensation.


    The troops, who thought that these beasts were going to be their pets were tamed. Yes, he tamed the crooked branches and fixed them straight. You Zhichi would just observe the situation from the side and after ten days they all reached the dwarven kingdom. These three days long journeys had taken ten days because they traveled on the ground. Even if they could fly they were not allowed to.


    You Xi Wang was not as beastly as these people imagined him to be. The boy gave them a reason for his actions. he said If they waste all their energy to fly and they were all to waste energy in flying. What would be the result? Will they be able to fight with all their strength as soon as they reach the dwarvennds?


    Someone asked why was he riding on Tiberius. His actions looked hypocritical. The boy simply said with a cruel grin, because, I am strong and I can beat your asses alone. His words made the people angry and some went on to challenge him. The difference between them was so deep that they wanted to die of shame.


    The people all became disciplined after they heard this. The scout division sent back the message that they have arrived at the borders of the dwarven territory. You Xi Wang got off Tiberius and came to the forefront of the formation and his weapons appeared on his suit. The people all became alert. Theirmander took out all his weapons in an instant, something they have never seen before.


    However, six people knew better that this was a tactic to intimidate the dwarf leaders. You Zhichi and the phantoms also followed him along with Gena, Djal, and Alcalde. They reached the forefront and found that a weing delegation had already been waiting for them.


    Alcalde said, "They came here because they can detect the approach of our party. Allow me to talk and then we can enter the country."


    You Xi Wang took down his mask and with an indifferent gaze, he nodded to the man. The dwarf leader was shaken from inside and then he quickly left with his people to address the delegation. The delegation was actually a battalion of mini soldiers dressed up in strong-looking metal armor and held axes, hammers, and des in their hands.


    You Xi Wang figured out that it was the army of the dwarves. Do not look down on their sizes. Imagine a group of ants fighting against an elephant. You know the result. This was the same thing. You Xi Wang could take them down but there will be casualties. He was not going to stake the lives of his people. If the situation escted then he would just take them on by himself.


    Alcalde walked over to the guard captain of the dwarves with his people and showed him a badge. He talked a few words and the guard''s captain sent someone back inside the city. You Xi Wang used his soul force and paid attention to the situation. He said, "Fenny, deploy a drone."


    Fenny manipted her gadgets and the next moment a fly-like tiny drone was deployed from her suit. The fly drone could fly up to a height of twenty feet. They made no sounds and had no aura so they were basically invisible. The drone slowly followed the guy sent back by the guard''s captain.


    The drone disyed the whole city''syout to them. The city was actually inside a mountain. Yes, it was a monolith the dwarves had carved inside the mountain. They made the city illuminated by using mirror illumination. The sunlight fell on the mirrors at a certain angle and then it was all directly concentrated on the city after passing through an array of film.


    This array film was to keep the heat away. After all concentrated sunlight can make things burn. The guard came to the center of the city where a huge pir was connected to the peak of the mountain. It was as if the pir was supporting the mountain. You Xi wang nodded when he observed the architecture of the country.


    While the drone followed the guard it also transmitted the surrounding scenes. The people were together, however, they were not looking happy. The mood was tense. It could be that the terror they all faced from the tunnels.


    The dwarves were a smithing race. They never feared working their ass off but now that they had no work and were forced to be vacant they were stressed. The guard reached a pce built around the big pir and smoothly entered the inner courtroom.


    He knelt in front of a burly figure. You Xi wang presumed that this guy was the king of the dwarves but his physique was no different than a body-building hunk. The drown was incapable of recording sounds and transmitting them as well. However, watching the video transmission the phantoms basically knew the content.


    The soldier was asking the king whether they should let the ounders inside or not. The king said something very interesting that made the phantom smirk, "They want to help us? Humph, I want to see what they are made of first."


    You Xi Wang said, "This one is mine, I have not worked out in a long time."


    Yuki said, "Very well, don''t scare the guy. God bless him."

 Chapter 301: Monster Awakened.

    Chapter 301: Monster Awakened.


    You Xi Wang and the team stood on the side waiting for the king''s convoy toe over. The drone telecast showed them that the king of dwarves was taller than the normal dwarves. The man had a height of four feet but do not look down on his strength. The dwarves were creatures with a strong affinity to the earth element and they were blessed with abnormal strength.


    They all had a body tempering method like the ogres. The difference was that where Ogre forged themselves by fighting and exercise, the dwarves shed sweat and blood in the forgeries. They were all forging geniuses and could make a blunt piece of metal into a sharp sword that could split the world itself.


    The dwarf king had worn armor that gave him a defense boost and this was all shown to the phantoms through the drone telecast. Even if they came here to help that did not mean they will be capable of doing anything. Thus, the other party wanted to check their strength. You Xi Wang being the trouble maker he was, was excited about this fight.


    Tiberius also wanted to see the strength of this human who could even read his mind. He has been skeptical of this boy from the moment he has used him as his ride. This was something only You Zhichi could do. However, he did not say anything because he was the younger brother of thedy. What he did not understand was that the young boy was obviously the youngest among this group of humans, so why can he be the boss.


    Tiberius was a beast, to him the strongest a creature could be was at the peak of his youth, and You Xi Wang was far from it. Not his fault. he has just not seen enough of the big world. If he was to know that Maya was stronger than him and she was not even a decade old. He would have dug out a hole and buried himself inside.


    Maya''s strength was slightly higher than him but her intellect and skills were nothing he could even dream ofparing to. Djal asked, "Lord, shall I act?"


    You Xi wang shook his head and said, "No, this is my fight. I want to work out a little too you know. Cannot just eat for free." his tone sounded candid and arrogant and the guy deliberately spoke loudly so that the dwarven line of soldiers can hear him. Told you he was a trouble maker.


    His words worked like a me shower on a pond of fuel. Some of the front liners directly pointed their spear at You Xi Wang and said, "You, say that again."


    You Xi Wang shrugged and said it again. The surrounding ce became as quiet as an ocean on a sunny day. Dwarves were men that defined short things, short temper was one of them. That said, one of the spears flew over to their site directly. The phantoms did not expect that.


    The owner of the spear was the general of the dwarves. He said, "I do not know when will there be someone from the pcee, but before that, I would like to see what gives you the gall to look down on my people. Ounder, your skin shall suit my shoes."


    You Xi Wang would not let such a chance go by. He kicked the spear stabbed in the ground in front of him. The spear flicked and just when the tip pointed back at the dwarves, You Xi Wang kicked the tail end. The spear flew back to the dwarf general twice the speed he threw it.


    The general caught hold of it but he sensed the potential energy contained inside the spear making his arm shiver. That moment was enough to tell him that the opponent was not easy to deal with. He could tell that the kick was not made with all his strength. The general still did not put down his pride and charged forward with a war cry from his mouth.


    You Xi Wang took out his brawling gloves and vanished from his spot. Neo said, "One move, ten minutes in the spirit pool."


    An smirked and said, "Unseen, ten minutes in the spirit pool."


    Fenny asked, "You people betting on the time in the spirit pool. Surely, the rich are willful."


    Yuki chuckled and said, "They are trying to scam the rookies."


    Fenny sighed and nodded. She said, "Rookies, don''t bet. You will regret it. These two are not fuel-efficientmps."


    Her words made the excited rookies calm down and Neo and An said, "Spoilsport." Fenny shrugged and said, "Shall I have you bet with baby wang?"


    The two immediately fell silent and on the other side, a huge wave was caused among the dwarven soldiers. Their general flew back to the ranks with a fist imprinted on his chest te. They could not believe what happened in front of their eyes. Only a few of them caught the shadow of what happened in front of them just now. The rest were clueless.


    The general stood up from the ground and his hand caressed the imprint on his armor. the armor was the pride of a warrior and You Xi Wang just gave him a stain. he was enraged and rage only does one thing. It consumes your wisdom.


    The general shouted, "Company, attack."


    A soldier was, in the end, a soldier. Hearing the order the dwarves brandished their spears. They all had set You Xi Wang as their target. The generalmanded, "CHARGE."


    You Xi Wang took off the spear hanging on his back and said, "Big sis, cast a shield array behind me. I will take them all."


    You Zhichi nodded and instantly she cast an array behind You Xi Wang. The next moment, every second was like a nightmare for the army of dwarves. Their elite weapons, armors, the strength of the mountain. It was all useless. The boy was like a shadow. He had no order in his movements and all his targets were random. Well, that was how it seemed to be.


    You Xi Wang targetted the strong people first. All those who caught a flicker of his movement earlier were on the list and they were all knocked out. The Dwarf general had no idea of how to stop this monster he awakened. Hemanded the people to bypass him and attack his team but they were all blocked by an invisible wall.


    The general suddenly froze. He sensed a tip pressing against his neck. The cold radiating from the tip made him freeze. He did not know when You Xi Wang appeared behind him.

 Chapter 302: Phantom.

    Chapter 302: Phantom.


    You Xi Wang''s spear rested on the nape of the general. Thetter froze in his ce and did not dare to even breathe. The boy took down his mask and revealed his calm and cold face to the dwarves. The spirit beings shivered when they matched that cold and unfeeling gaze.


    His eyes were as if gazing at dead bodies. He spoke slowly, "Is this why you challenged me? Is this your capital to call me out? The skill pool is as short as your temper. It is worth nothing. You are the beings of earth they say, yet you have nothing that could match the properties of the earth in the least. Shameless."


    Taking back his spear he turned around to walk back to his camp. He was not arrogant in his strength but confident that his words will make the people stagnant and unable to attack his back. He was called a War God not for anything. To him, a war or a battle was a matter of both brain and body. A sound body can only bemanded by a sound brain. Otherwise, everything will go in vain.


    As he walked back to his team the people of the team recalled the title You Xi Wang earned when he came back from his expedition on the lost sector. It was not found out who was the person who started it first but soon the whole area was echoing with chants and calls of "WAR GOD YOU, WAR GOD YOU, WAR GOD YOU."


    You Zhichi stood tall and so did the phantoms. They shared the glory with him and they will also bear the burden of his shame if anyone can defeat him. The chances were low but they would not back down. They all knew that there were skies above skies and mountains above mountains. This was why You Xi Wang was never arrogant and he never looked down on his opponent.


    The boy has yet to cross the formation set by You Zhichi when a strong voice sounded. "Stop."


    The sound was not too loud but it was heard clearly by the people. The chants of War God receded. Everyone trained their gazes to locate the source of the sound and they found a slightly taller dwarf wearing armor on his person, walking with an entourage of strong people.


    You Xi Wang stood his ground but did not turn back to face the king. His back was simr to the spear he held in his hand, straight like a rod. The king raised his eyebrow. He was not different from any other dwarf. His temper was shorter. But his courtiers were even more eager to seek death. One of the older ones yelled, "OUTLANDER."


    You Xi Wang still did not turn back. The old minister said, "Ounder, how dare you show your back to our king. Do you wish to see the underworld so soon? You still have a chance to turn back and kneel. We do not wish for your parents to lose their child so soon."


    The phantoms let out a collective "Shit" under their breath. However, the boy did not lose his control, he turned around to face the smug old minister. He said to the king, "Big Dwarf, you stand on the battlefield. Do you understand that the actions of your people are ounted on you?"


    He called the king of dwarves, Big Dwarf. What could be more insulting than this? The King blushed in rage and said, "Yes, I will take over all the costs my subordinates have to pay. However, do you dare to ept my payment?"


    You Xi Wang said, "At first your elder, Alcalde, said something simr. He dared to drag my parents into the mess. Now your minister. Seems like you small people are actually an inferior race unaware of manners and ettiquettes. Well then, Allow me to enlighten you what true strength is."


    The next moment he took a step forward but his body did not step on the ground but elevated to the void, and it was surrounded by a golden glow. The dwarves were all ovee by a sense of dread. They had no idea that this guy was so monstrous. Around You Xi Wang a figure manifested.


    You Zhichi said, "The spirit of the war god."


    Yes, the boy had just shown one of his hole cards to make the nation of raunchy dwarves bow down to him. The phantom was twice as tall as the original You Xi Wang. The aura radiation was enough to suppress the people around him. None of them was spared, this was the might and the honor of the War God.


    The idiom used in You Family was true. When the War God appears the world bows down. The ogres were shocked, specially Djal, his face was pale for a spirit creature. He did not expect this kid to be hiding so deep. He gulped and unknowingly his knees bent. Followed by him all the ogres knelt down. Tiberius stood behind You Zhichi and thus was protected by her but his heart was filled with palpations.


    You Zhichi spoke to him with mentalmunication, "Beware, he is not to be disrespected. I may not be as strong as him yet, but I can kill you regardless of the cost. My brother is my world and if you ever looked down on him, I will take you out with myself. Understand?"


    Her calm voice disyed her resolve. Tiberius waspletely subdued at this moment. You Xi Wang on the other side gazed at the dwarves, all of them unknowingly kneeling on the ground. The boy spoke in an ethereal voice, "Shall we go to war now?"


    His words made the dwarves tremble. They did not expect the other party to be such an entity. The dwarf king said, "Your excellency, I beg you to look past us lowly people. Please forgive us for our absurdity. I beg you to pardon my nation. If only blood can quench your anger, then I offer my head to you, but spare my people."


    With that said the dwarf king took out his sword and shed it on his own neck. The dwarf soldiers and ministers were shocked. However, they were helpless. They could not react as the de traveled to meet the nape of their king. However, just when they all experienced despair the de froze just a few millimeters away from the neck of the king.


    You Xi Wang said, "Very Well."

 Chapter 303: Onyxia.

    Chapter 303: Onyxia.


    You Xi Wang said, "Very well." as the golden glow stopped the de fromnding on the nape of the dwarf king. The people all heaved a sigh of relief.


    The boy surrounded in a golden avatar said, ''We havee here to aid and not to shed blood. It will be better if you do not provoke us by crossing the bottom lines. Or even if I be the sinner, I do not mind leaving a haunted city in my wake."


    His tone was firm, making the people shudder in horror. They did not expect this young man to have such strength and that he would use such a heavy hand if provoked. Just the pressure radiated from him was good enough to squash them. The king of the dwarves immediately nodded and pledged to look after all his people and making sure that the cooperation goes on without any friction.


    You Xi Wang nodded and his martial spirit retracted back inside his body. When hended on the ground he stood firm. You Zhichi walked to his side and said, "Okay?"


    The boy gave her a sunny smile and nodded. The girl let out a sigh of relief. Fenny came and asked, "Shall we rest, or do we go directly to the tunnels?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Everyone is tired."


    Fenny nodded and sent out a message in themunication channel. Everyone immediately sat down on the ground with their legs crossed. They formed a circle. The melee fighters sat on the outer ring while the gunners sat in the middle ring followed by the center of snipers. The four phantoms stood out at the four corners of the circle.


    Fenny stood in the center of the circle. This formation was used to y a reverse psychological effect on the opponent. They would think that since the four phantoms are so strong then what about the rest of the people sitting behind them and in that moment of hesitation they will be dealt with with ease.


    Since the team was apanied by wolves and ogres, they were also posted. Djal and his people did not have much requirement of rest so they formed a patrolling toon with some wolves on the group.


    The dwarves nced at the formation and sturdy lines of defense and were in awe. They were shocked by You Xi Wang''s strength but now they found out that this team of ounders was not as easy as they looked like.


    While everyone was resting You Zhichi was discussing things with the king of dwarves. She had a management talent and thus the task fell upon her. She also had strong cards like the martial spirit of the War Maiden, the array master talent, and also her identity as You Xi Wang''s elder sister gave her a boost automatically.


    Tiberius, the grade eight thunder wolf following beside her was intimidating enough. The thunder wolves were all slightly violet-colored, however, as the Alpha, Tiberius was electric blue. The pups Neo found were sent back to the elven settlement to let a few people look after them and tame them if possible.


    You Zhichi stood in front of the Dwarf King and asked, "Your Majesty, our team would like to explore the tunnels in the morning tomorrow, may I ask you to provide us some basic supplies, such as maps for the tunnels and also, some sources of light to check inside the tunnels?"


    Where was the king to find a gut big enough to deny the request of that monster? He shook his head and said, "Madam, if possible I would like your team to solve this crisis for us, the maps and the rest of the supplies will be sent to you in a bit. Is there anything else I can do, please tell me?"


    You Zhichi said, "Someone who has a spine. I need a brave guide inside the tunnels. We will do our best to protect him but we need him to tell us what to do and do not inside the tunnels."


    The king nodded and after a few thoughts, he spoke with gritted teeth, "Madam, my princess is capable of guiding you all inside. She was practicing when the fog emerged. She hasplete knowledge of theplexworks inside. The girl nodded and said, "Call over your daughter. I would like to get familiar with her before the mission begins."


    The king had no opinion and immediately send a word back to the pce. The person walked very fast, and after just fifteen minutes he walked back with the essence of earth circting throughout his body. The soldier noticed the change in his speed and skills. He gulped and looked back at the people who were sitting down in the distance.


    The princess was a sophisticated person who loved to forge. Now that the father is no longer king, who was going to invite her. However, he still saw the soldier providing her the seal of the king. She put away all her restraints and moved with the soldier, who was easily keeping up with her on foot.


    She did not understand this operation and was confused, after all, her strength was higher than the generals at any time, but today the foot soldier also dared topete with her. She came to the city gate and was scared to see arge group of people sitting in the distance.


    She came to the side of her father and found a beautifuldy standing in front of him with indifference on her face. The princess has never seen such a person in her life. You know that the dwarf king was a person that even the queen of elves would give some face to. But here is this maiden.


    You Zhichi sensed a gaze on her and she turned her eyes to the source. The princess did not flinch back but gaze in those sharp ck eyes. The celestial maiden nodded in appreciation. This girl had some spark.


    The king said, "Onyxia, greet her excellency, You Zhichi. she is an ounder and is here to help us deal with the tunnel matter."


    Onyxia was a dwarf with a slightly taller physique than her father. she had elongated ears as well and unlike the muscr builds of the dwarves. You Zhichi raised her eyebrow. The king of the dwarves saw this and said, "Onyxia is half-elf and half-dwarf."


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "Princess Onyxia, would you like to join our team for the time being and get to know everyone?"


    The princess nodded and after they bid farewell to the king. She followed You Zhichi. The celestial maiden said, "You can rest assured that you will be treated with proper manners."


    Onyxia nodded and said, "I can sense that you all are not malicious. So I am not worried."


    You Zhichi nced at her and found something surprising.

 Chapter 304: Tunnel.

    Chapter 304: Tunnel.


    Onyxia came to the group and was warmly received by the girls in the team. She was slightly surprised to see so many women among the ounders. She turned around to face You Zhichi and said, "Miss, I have a question?"


    You Zhichi nodded to her, the girl asked, "Why do the people call you captain? Are you not the leader of this group?"


    She heard the others talking to You Zhichi and calling her Captain. This was her rank in the army, The captains were below themanders. This was the chain ofmand in the group. You Zhichi smiled and shook her head. She briefly exined to her how the ranking of their team was different from the armies.


    She was the captain while the deputymander was Fenny. Onyxia was surprised to learn that thisdy, who could talk to her father on equal footing was not the leader of this group. This gave birth to another question in her heart, who was the leader then?


    She gulped and before she could ask, Yuki on the side said with her finger raised in the opposite direction, "That boy outside the circle is our leader."


    Onyxia cast her gaze at Yuki and asked, "How did you know, what I wanted to ask?"


    Yuki spoke with a stone face, "This is obvious, you wish to talk to him about the tunnels before we enter them. Do you not?"


    Onyxia asked, "Yes, the incident in the tunnel is really weird and abrupt. We tried forcing sealing seals but it was not of any help. So, I wanted to tell you all about this first."


    Yuki said, "I will ask him toe over."


    Onyxia was hesitant but since this girl took the initiative then she went forward with it. Yuki sent You Xi Wang a message in herms and the boy came over in a blink. He saw Onyxia and gave her a slight bow, "Tell me, Your highness, what is it that you need to tell me about?"


    The girl said, "Sir, the dark mist inside the tunnel is not normal. It carries a trace of death and gloom within it. The people who fell down inside tunnels all became crazy. We have never seen such phenomena. So we captured a few of these people. After leaving the fog these people were all dead and withered like dry flowers."


    You Xi wang raised his eyebrow. He said, "Team, Alert."


    His voice was calm but his words were heard by all the troops and they all immediately sprang up in action. They stood up in attention and You Xi Wang said, "Form a curtain."


    The squad split and formed a parameter around You Xi Wang and the other people, even Djal, who came along with him was separated from the line of vision. Fenny was aware of his thoughts and she yed a video clipping in front of the princess of the dwarves. She asked, "Is this scene simr to what happened inside the tunnels."


    Onyxia nodded and the mood became solemn. The dwarf princess was surprised, she did not expect these ounders to have experienced something like this. An spoke, "Xiao Wang, what do you think we should do now?"


    You Xi Wang took a deep breath and spoke, "This mission just elevated from ss A to ss S+."


    The people were surprised, they all were aware of the criteria a mission was to be ranked. S+ meant a certain risk of life. Fenny said, "Let me tell you all, why this is an S+ mission. " she took a pause and then said, "We are heading to the mining tunnels of the dwarves. These tunnels are unknown to us, the terrain will lead us to the depths of the ground. The battle will not be fought out in the open. We have no idea how deep it may be, and how the tunnels run around.


    The depths can contain a primal soul realm expert inside or even stronger. The forces can vary from zombies to dark beasts and insects. However, we have a few advantages, such as spirit energy weapons. The guns will be able to move down the path with ease. Though we will have to be careful about the usage of spirit energy and work in batches."


    The people heard the analysis and nodded after the evaluation. This was the S+ mission because of the degree of uncertainty it had. You Xi Wang said, "We will be using spirit stones to fuel ourselves. I will arrange a few teleportations formations around the entrance. Remember, if anyone of you was to sense danger and unable to solve it, you will be out of the tunnels but the abrupt withdrawal will cause the burden on your team to increase tenfold.


    You know what that means. So, be careful inside. We will prepare the equipment needed to seal the dark energy. Prepare, the expedition begins in the morning."


    What he wanted to prepare was the array g in a bulk mass to help them seal the tunnels as they advanced. Fenny directed her list of necessities to Onyxia, who nodded and agreed to fulfill them. The spiritndcked anything but spirit stones and adaptability. The dwarves heard that they were needed to craft array spells and they all began to burn the furnaces.


    The Dwarf King arranged for a delicious meal for the ounders at night. You Xi Wang was inspecting his gear when Yuki and Gena came to his side. Thetter asked, "What do we do if the one inside is nirvana rebirth realm?"


    This question worried You Xi Wang as well. He said, "If the opponent is indeed Nirvana rebirth realm, then I will take it on with big sis. We have the martial spirits to aid us. You all will evacuate so that we can fight with ease and also, help the dwarves to get out of this ce. It may be hard but they will understand."


    The two girls exchanged nces but they had made a decision before they came over to him. If anything happened to him, then they will not live as well. The night fell and the sun rose up. You XI Wang stood in front of the tunnels with his team.

 Chapter 305: Darkness.

    Chapter 305: Darkness.


    You Xi Wang stood in front of the tunnels along with his team. He said with his back to the people, "When you go inside these dark holes, remember the light in your heart. Remember that there are people waiting for you back home. Remember that only with a calm can you get past the storm. Your best friends, the people who walk the path of life and death along with you, are also by your side.


    Do not let go of the spark inside the eyes that sent you here. The dark inside is not eternal. Think of being a traveler in the night, you will be surrounded by dark, but it is not without the dawn that you will bring. We are the phantoms. We dwell in the dark to bring light to the hearts of those, who need it.


    We are the phantoms of hope, and we never break down. Men! Pick up your arms, we fight this darkness."


    Thest few words were said loudly, the people behind him roared, "Hoo-ah."


    You Xi Wang had already devised a n of attack. There were mainly two big tunnels. One to enter and one to exit. As the depth increased, the web of tunnels becameplex. The teams will divide as they moved forward and encountered more diversions. They all were given a teleportation charm.


    This charm would lead them all to the teleportation array You Xi Wang had set up outside the holes. It would not take out only one person, but the whole team. They all had one clear instruction, they had to ce the sealing array gs after every five meters forward they moved. They did not have enough array gs on their hands, so it was decided that they will proceed until the gs in the hands of every team has finished.


    The dwarves were also working their asses off to meet the needs of the ounders risking their lives inside the tunnels for them. Djal and his people were also included in the phantoms. They were going to y support to the rest of the people in the army.


    You Xi Wang led the front with his team and the rest were to follow him by a gap of five meters. This distance was kept to make sure that none of the movements of the teams was obstructed by the people behind. An held a spirit gun, Neo held his halberd, Fenny was ying support as usual, and Yuki was to tag along with Neo.


    The Maestro was going to fight free at the front but also be present to provide emergency support. Fenny was to hold themand chain in the battle. The team entered the tunnel. The ceiling height was a little low. You Xi Wang said, "This will definitely not be easy."


    Fenny at the back said, "Change to spirit guns, We cannot make much of a movement with this ceiling height."


    An nodded and said, "The progress may be slow but it will be safe and smooth."


    Neo sighed and said, "Here I wanted to show you guys the dance of the war god, Xi Wang taught me."


    Yuki said, "He improvised it for you. The version is different." her voice was cold as she took out her spirit gun. She did not want You Xi Wang to teach Neo his first self-made move, but the boy said it is okay. She had a point you know. The first move created by the people will always have the potential to grow and was their own invention.


    So, teaching that sort of a move to someone out of the family was not a popr opinion. Neo grimaced when he heard her say this. He was also aware of his selfishness, so did not retort. You Xi Wang said, "Dark mass, ten meters ahead. Tell the teams behind to make sure they get every fish that escapes the."


    Fenny immediately ryed the message to the people behind. She also told them all to switch weapons and use spirit guns. No grenades were allowed, the ceiling might copse. They were not allowed to make big sounds to alert some monsters sleeping in the darkness. They were also not allowed to fire the spirit guns at full intensity.


    If the spirit ray got damaged any weight-bearing pir then they might be buried under here forever. They could have used their own elemental skills but since they were now using spirit guns, they cannot use spells or it will affect their movement forward.


    After ten seconds, the phantoms had entered the dark fog and the first thing they did was to seal the fog and stop it from advancing forward by sealing array gs. Suddenly, You Xi Wang shot the spirit gun with his legs slightly bent as he walked forward, followed by him, Yuki, and Neo also started to shoot.


    The dark tunnels were illuminated and roars of creatures echoed inside the tunnels. The people following behind them were none other than You Zhichi and her team. They were surprised to see the level of cooperation between You Xi Wang and his team. It was not only the way they took down the enemies.


    Their breathing, their footsteps, the cover and fire rhythm of the people were on a different level. Luna, the sniper in You Zhichi''s team said, "They have spent lesser time together than many of us here. Why can they achieve such cooperation?"


    You Zhichi was about to reply when Gena spoke up, she was a temporary add-on in this team, "They have spent a long time in the lost sector. Our squad almost never stopped fighting, injuries, curses, pain, they faced it all together. To save Yuki, Xi Wang took on a blow and almost lost his eye. The team was the same, they covered each other in a ce where fending off for their own was hard.


    They never stopped fighting and trying new things. You Xi Wang is called the god of war not because of his range of skills or his strength only, but also because he brought back his whole squad alive. A ce with a ny percent mortality rate was cleared by them. With zero deaths. This is not possible with time or nning but trust. Unconditional trust and the strength to uphold that trust."

 Chapter 306: Silence Screams.

    Chapter 306: Silence Screams.


    You Xi Wang and the four people walked forward in the tunnels. They were putting up markers from on the floor, walls, and the ceiling as well. The people behind were confused, Gena took the initiative and used the channels to tell other people the reason.


    "The dark creatures only dwell inside the dark fog, it is a substance necessary for their existence. However, this fog only moves in touch with the surface. For example, if it is located somewhere outside then the food can be contained by nting array gs on the ground only. Inside this tunnel, the floor, walls, and the ceiling, all are surfaces so be careful when you nt the array gs and do not miss a spot."


    The people got the reason and they nodded. Not like they would not do what they were told to but knowing the reason behind your actions can make one realize the importance of their job. This way the output of the people increases by a hundredfold. You Xi Wang, who was busy fighting in the front had a smile on his lips as he heard the exnation given by Gena in the teamms.


    He suddenly said, "We have a diversion up ahead."


    Fenny nodded as she took a shot from her sniper rifle and said, "First group prepare to embark, we have a diversioning up. Half of the people will be led by Captain You Zhichi and they will split here. Keep your spirit equipment on all the time. If you sense that your energy is low, thenmunicate with your team leader and everyone will retreat instantly. If I found that any single one of you tried to y hero, then you can kiss off your sexual lives.


    I am not kidding this time, because you will die in here and the bugs will eat you and followed by yoru team. I will have to do nothing. Except condemning you back when I go home and make you responsible for all those, who died."


    The people were scared by this threat because they were aware that thisdy might blow up her mind and do what she said. You Xi Wang said, "Go and have fun. learn to be strong and always hold on to the light inside your hearts. Understood."


    The people replied, "Hoo-ah, Commander."


    That said after the Phantoms moved another twenty meters they spotted a tunnel opening on their right-hand side. You Zhichi was not slow and she moved up with her team to suppress the dark beasts there. The phantoms nodded to them and kept moving forward. You Xi Wang caught a nce of his sister''s back as she entered the tunnel hole but did not say much.


    This was a battlefield and not home. I loved her and cared for her more than he did for himself. However, he did not say anything to her as she already knew it. He wanted her to be focused and not to pay attention to anything else but her safety. But if he said anything then even a second of dy would make things emotional. This was not what they needed.


    As You Zhichi was taking her group inside the right-hand side tunnel the phantoms came five meters ahead and after nting the array gs they took a breather. Fenny said, "The beasts are different in here. The size is small and the quantity is big. What do you suggest we should do?"


    You Xi Wang said, "We cannot do much other than ying it out the way it is right now. Wait until either the ceiling height increases. Until then be patient and move slowly."


    The people nodded, after all, they had no other options for this operation. After half the troops followed You Zhichi, the rest followed You Xi Wang. The boy still did not go any further and he said, "Take charge, you are leading, we will follow and provide support. Enough spoon-feeding."


    The people were nervous obviously, they all had experience in battles and gore but they had never faced something like this. The silence in the tunnels was deafening. The team in the front was led by You Tong, she was on her nerves when suddenly a thing jumped at her.


    She did not hesitate and squeezed the trigger to kill the beast. Following her action, the whole team found that these beasts were unpredictable, just when they were about to rx the injured beast came back at them with double ferocity. The team had no time to react when Fenny took a shot and blew off the head of the beast.


    You Xi Wang said, "Tong, do you want to die? Did you not hear when I told you not to let the guard down? Idiots. How many teams did I debrief you to take aim of the head and that you can take a step back if you need to make the room? Always hit them twice to make sure that they are down for good."


    You Tong flinched, she knew that this guy was a demon when it came to military affairs. She was aware that he was so hard on her for her own good. She apologized for her rxed attitude and so did her team. The people behind them also took mental notes, they did not wish for You Xi Wang to beat the shit out of them after they walk out of the tunnels.


    The group began to make progress, and You Xi Wang and Fenny shot a few times to relieve them and told them what mistakes they made. After half an hour they had moved only five meters. After sealing the area, You Xi Wang said, "You guys swap time. Go back and discuss what you should do and what you should not be doing from theprehension in the past half an hour."


    You Tong nodded and then she moved to the back of the pack. The other team came to take their ce and they were supported by Yuki, An, and Neo.

 Chapter 307: The Crawlers.

    Chapter 307: The Crawlers.


    Yuki, An, and Neo. All took turns in guiding the people. Suddenly Fenny said, "Xi Wang, the drones picked up another diversion. What to do?"


    The boy thought for a bit, and replied, "How about we seal the diversion entrance and retreat for the day. Give those who had been in the front a chance to consolidate and then they can take it on tomorrow. I am slightly hesitant about letting them all go in so soon."


    The others nodded and they progressed. You Xi Wang suppressed the entrance of the diversion while Fenny sealed it with gs. Then She said, "Seal up, we are going back, and do not touch the array gs on the way back. The more arrays we have the better-umted sealing."


    "Yes." said the team collectively.


    This umtive array suppression was an improvisation in the usual suppression array proposed by You Zhichi. It was very helpful for them to use it. The people had no objections. After the front team sealed up thest step they all retreated. They all began to walk back to the opening and on the way, they met You Zhichi and her team.


    The celestial maiden said, "This was really tiring and the reason we came back was the slow progress. The people have lost spirit energy and they were bing weaker. So we sealed thest step and came back, also, the array gs we had are finished now."


    You Xi Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you finish them so soon, we still have five of six sets left."


    Gena replied, "We nted them every three meters. This entrance was infested with crawlers, and we found two zombies."


    Fenny nodded, "Anything peculiar Gena?" she could sense the mncholy of this girl.


    Gena hesitated and said, "How about we talk when we get out of this ce?"


    The people nodded and they walked out of the tunnels. The army of dwarves was standing outside to guard them, they saw the peopleing outside and began to count how many people hade back alive. After counting they were all shocked. They did not count even one head missing from the previous count.


    This was a surprise to them as they have lost a little too many people before they could even see what was going inside the darkness. Yet, here is the group of people that came back with all intact. The general was about to say something when Onyxia said, "They are exhausted."


    The general asked, "Why do you say so, Your Highness?"


    "Their spirit energy is drained," she replied.


    The general looked back at the people again and he was surprised. The observation of the princess was correct, these people were all drained. This means the enemy was not easy to deal with. He said, "Shall I arrange for their food and stay?"


    Onyxia nodded and then walked up to where You Xi Wang was. She was curious about the strength of this boy and wanted to know what was the secret that made him have so many people follow him with utter obedience. Even her own father may not have such firm control.


    She heard as she got closer, about how the people dealt with the problem and how they almost thought that they will die while facing the dark beasts. She also, heard, about how You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were the guardians of the people in the tunnels. She spotted that the main leaders of the force were all gathered around a table and they seemed to be holding a meeting.


    You Xi Wang turned his head to her and his dark gaze made her freeze. Thankfully, You Zhichi patted her brother on the shoulder and asked him to let the girle over. Onyxia sat down behind You Zhichi.


    Gena spoke, "The crawlers inside are all mating. They are trying to grow their poption. At this rate, I suspect that in the depths of the tunnels there is a treasure that supports darkness and is providing them with the nourishment and the dark energy they need."


    Her words made everyone around the table raise their eyebrows. An said, "This just became very tricky."


    Neo nodded, "Those breeding crawlers are timebombs, if the spirit shot missed them, then what will happen? Last time three people almost dead in the lost sector if not for Xi Wang to take us out of harm''s way."


    Yuki nodded and said, "We cannot send the newbies to guide the rookies in this level."


    Fenny nodded and said, "This is the ultimate dilemma. If we set off on our own then who will guide the people?"


    You Zhichi said, "We can split the phantoms."


    The people began discussing but You Xi Wang sat calmly, he did not speak or said anything. Onyxia was confused by the scene. Suddenly You Xi Wang poked his chopsticks on the back of Gena''s neck.


    The people were surprised but the next moment the skin wriggled and came out of the skin. Gena winced but did notin. What came out of the skin was a ck bug. It wriggled like a worm and was ck in color. It was as if a sludge of oil. Neo said, "This bug, what is it?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "Breeder. They will and lodge in your body and then theyy eggs before they die inside you. The childrene out after eating the brain of the host. These crawlers are sure difficult. Thank god, Gena had the ability to control her spirit energy around this bitch to restrain it."


    The people nodded and Yuki asked, "What to do though?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Solo the tunnels, I will be needing one career with me. This way we will not have topromise the strength in other ces. Do not dissuade me. You all know it is important and only this way can weplete the task on time."


    You Zhichi asked, "Who will be the career?"


    Suddenly they heard Onyxia say, "May I ask, what is a career?"

 Chapter 308: Tsundere.

    Chapter 308: Tsundere.


    You Xi Wang raised his head and spotted the source of the voice. he located Onyxia standing at some distance form them and beckoned her over to the circle. He greeted her with formal manners and so did the others. The boy then said, "Your Highness, the carrier will be a person who will be carrying extra equipment for the raider.


    These crawlers can get inside your body without even letting you feel anything, just like right now. Gena is blessed with the sight that can see through anything and everything yet she could not spot a crawler getting past her defenses. These bugs may look small and weak but if they are not removed from the body within twenty four hours, they will be able to take over your central nervous system, and then you can imagine yourself being tied up to the bed for the rest of your life.


    They can also sneak inside the space rings we use, which makes things even more crafty. They may be small but with huge IQ. They will target our supplies first. Thus we need to have a carrier following behind us to handle the equipment."


    Onyxia nodded and said, "Can I be the carrier for you?"


    The people were surprised and Yuki said, "Your highness, the carrier is not allowed to go on fighting on their own. Plus you will be carrying the equipment on your body. You cannot have a space ring to prevent the bugs from attacking you. I would not rmend you do this sort of job."


    The other people nodded. Onyxia said with a smile, "I may look like this but my physical attributes are simr to the rest of the dwarves, the strength is higher than the average dwarf. I have been literally living inside the tunnels to practice the forging skills and I know them like the back of my hand. As for myck of experience, I think if Sir You, can put up with me then I will be able to learn it quickly. I will not ck off."


    You Xi Wang did not know how to decide and suddenly heard Fenny speak from the side, "The newly discovered diversion will need a team to guide as well. At this moment we have only three veins, if you take the crawler ce then the rest will be allocated to the two others. If we find a carrier from the teams or the orges it will leave a weak chink in the chain. Those of us have to watch over the rookies.


    This is the only usible way to get things done without any deficiencies."


    The people said nothing after hearing the analysis. They cast a gaze at You Xi Wang, making him flinch. he said, "What are you looking at me for? It is not like I nted the crawlers there."


    You Zhichi said, "Then you can take the princess along with you but be careful, no harm must befall her, or you are losing ayer of skin."


    The boy sighed and replied, "Yes, big sis." then he looked at Onyxia and said, "You shall prepare princess. We leave at dawn."


    Thetter nodded and left after bidding farewell to everyone. You Xi Wang said, "Gena, go deal with the check-ups please. I need to meditate."


    The girl nodded and left the ce. Fenny was apanying the princess to teach her what weapon or equipment was used in what situation. You Zhichi and Yuki followed Gena to help with the checkups. They were going to look at the whole camp and even the orges.


    No loose ends. Neo and An talked with You Xi Wang and then they left to do their task of arranging personnel for patrol and defence measures. While the maestro sat down on the dune to meditate.


    His breathing calmed down and he focused his conscious on his spirit sea. Inside there he could converse with the system. That thing has been silent for quite sometime. You Xi Wang needed his assistance for the task tomorrow. he was not like Gena, who had all seeing eyes.


    The soul sea was silent. Thest time the two had a chat was when The gods had left Metropia. he sighed and said, "You fucking tsundere. Get your ass here this moment or merge with my soul. My body is not to carry extra baggage."


    A blob of gas emerged in front of him. A voice sounded, ''What do you need now? can you not let me sulk in loneliness."


    You Xi Wang said, "Are you broken? Bitch, get over with it. I need you to help me monitor me and that dwarf princess for infestation of the crawlers. Also, I am not ascending to meet the beings like you. You said it yourself, I gave you birth when my feelings fucked with heavens or something and then you came along. Be a good son and help daddy here."


    The system heard his existence being described like this and the temper red up. he said, "You useless, dimwit. Now youe to me saying this is your body and stuff. You motherfucker, if not for me you would have been a smog ball floating in the multiverse.


    And what are you so proud of giving birth to me. I should have found a female pig and let you live in a breeding center you mammary nd excretion."


    You Xi Wang heard it all in silent and said, "First deal with you periods, shall I get you a pad from my girlfriend? Like paste it on your fucking face and stop bleeding? Oh wait, your shit, don''t have a mouth."


    The two people were back at their usual bickering and cussing. In the end the system was back on the post and You Xi Wang let out some with held stress by this battle of cussing. After he woke up he found that it had been three hours since he was fighting with the system.


    The system alsomented a few things in the soul sea and You Xi Wang was ready for the sun toe up so he could go inside the tunnel and pull off a solo task.

 Chapter 309: Pitiable Princess.

    Chapter 309: Pitiable Princess.


    You Xi Wang stood in front of the tunnels waiting for Onyxia toe out. The boy had changed his battle suit to the one without any space arrays to store his equipment and held his weapons on his body. The spear and the bow were given to th princess to hold the rest were carried by himself.


    He did not believe in the capabilities of the princess and she was in charge of only the auxiliary aid, like carrying food and water, and also some medicine.


    Onyxia was arranged to help him with the array gs and also with the drones. She was to carry it all and follow You Xi Wang like a caddy behind a golfer. The sun came up and the people marched inside the tunnels.


    The suits all had a mask attached to them. All masks had eyes covered with microarrays. The eyes were made of aposite ss that could help them see things in thermal and infrared mode. Onyxia was given a simr suit to wear and she was done for. never had she thought that such a thing can exist?


    She followed You Xi Wang silently. It was not that she was scared of him but she was impressed by this boy in front of him. She was a sucker for craftsmen and this boy had designed this sort of suit. How can she not admire him? Fenny even told her how many things were developed by him and added fuel to her fire of admiration to blind idolization.


    The boy did not care about the coolie behind him as he walked inside the tunnels with a serious face. The system said, "This girl is smitten by you? Why not take her on in this dark ce, No one will know."


    You Xi Wang said, "I will know. You better stop this or go back to the silent treatment and see if I care. You whore."


    He scolded his system and that got thetter in line. They walked forward and finally came to thest location where Gena and the rest of the people left the expedition. You Xi Wang said, "You remember to take the count of the spirit array gs every time you put one circle and report to me when you have only one set left. Okay?"


    Fenny had told Onyxia that inside the tunnel she was You Xi Wang''s subordinate so she can forget the honorifics. He may not say much but he will not be over the line as well. The dwarven princess had no problem with his and she agreed to it. However, it still felt odd for her to be talked about like this by anyone.


    She snapped back to her senses and nodded in response. Yuki had told(warned) her not to be slogged in her responses. You Xi Wnag may suffer because of that. The boy saw the rabbit mask nod to him and found it funny. It was Fenny who gave this girl a rabbit masked suit.


    He took a deep breath and said, "You can talk using thems array in the mask."


    "Yes." Onyxia said. The boy nodded and then took out his revolvers. Spirit guns were minimized and shaped like revolvers. The fire rate was slow at first so You Xi Wang added a drum of the firing mechanism in the back. The size of these revolvers was as big as that of a mini submachine gun and the fire rate was equal to a Gattle gun but without a heating problem.


    The boy ced his fingers on the triggers and as soon as he took a step inside the array barrier the guns started to sh. Every single dark creature that lunged at him was just an insect. These bugs were not the problem. The main viins of this setup were the crawlers hidden among the swarm. You Xi Wang would use fire spirit energy in his body to repel the bugs further away from his body and the system would manipte the soul force.


    The system was acting as a radar for the crawlers. Every single crawler in the tunnel was locked on and shot at before they were even to reach within one-meter range of the boy. Onyxia was watching the scene from behind and she was surprised. The surpriseter turned into a shock.


    The bugs were everywhere, the ceilings, the walls, the floor, and even in the void in front of the boy yet his targets were aimed at urately and taken out quickly. After fifteen minutes, they cleared up the five meters and You Xi Wang said, "Seal it up."


    Onyxia replied, "Yes, Sir." and began to ce the sealing arrays as You Xi Wang advanced. The two people worked in silence. Theypleted twenty meters and You Xi Wang consumed some water and dry food. He also asked Onyxia to try some. The princess was hesitant but after she ate, she was surprised to find out that her energy was replenished very quickly.


    She had not worked but the mental exhaustion was something else altogether. The boy sought strong and his guns were the bane of the dark bugs. Suddenly he noticed that the ceiling has risen and it was big enough for him to stand and even use a spear.


    He said, "Be careful, something big is waiting for us."


    His words had just dropped when a screeching roar sounded. You Xi Wang spotted a pair of gleaming eyes in the dark. He said, "Spear."


    Onyxia did not dare to bex and threw out the spear she had been holding onto. The spear seemed to havee to life in You Xi Wang''s hand. The darkness around him was lit up with folder glow. The next moment the boy spun the spear and fought with a dark beast. It was as if a small building was attacking him but You Xi Wang dealt with it easily.


    The spear stabs and swipes were all very precise and dealt fatal damage. After dealing with the big guy a lot of small ones also followed but You Xi Wang took out his sword and fought simultaneously.


    Onyxia did not dare to blink. She even recorded all this happening in the recorder of the suit. Fenny had told her to keep this on at all times. She followed You Xi Wang with a distance of six meters and was yearning to close the distance between them.


    Women liked strong men. However, it was a pity.

 Chapter 310: New Plan.

    Chapter 310: New n.


    You Xi Wang did not even spare his pity for the girl following behind him. he was not a skirt chaser who would follow each and every beautiful girl he caught sight of. That said, he still had a harem of the women he loved.


    The system did influence his behavioral inclinations but it was for his good. The feelings between the people were not synthesized. They were all genuine. The boy kept on moving ahead and killed the dark beasts. The crawlers have been dealt with and now he was facing beasts popping out in the darkness. The princess behind him would tell him when a diversion is about toe up and they will prepare ordingly.


    In the situation of a diversioning up the boy will use his martial spirit to fight at the two fronts efficiently this way only can he make sure to seal the entrance of the diversion. He had warned the girl behind him that she must not let out any thought regarding his form and power during the time his martial spirit is awake. He can control the spirit now but instincts were still there and he did not wish to attack her.


    Even though the princess might block or defend sessfully but the spirit will lose control. The instincts of the martial spirit were too much for him to handle at times and this was what needed to be controlled even further. The boy used his skills as the array master as well, by casting barriers of the holy spirit energy to block the traffic on the two sides.


    Then he pushed back the one side. Onyxia nted array gs, informed him about the sealingpletion. You XI Wanges back and they continue to follow the main vein-like earlier. The efficiency disyed by the boy was far superior to the rest of the people. His pace has not declined but on the contrary, it has picked up.


    He was war-crazed. He liked the rush of adrenaline in his body when he was in a battle. These battles may not be good enough to make him advance now but the boy looked at them as experience, valuable experience that would help him in the trails ahead.


    After the whole day, the tunnel vein hade to an end and You Xi Wang did not know where he was. Onyxia said, "We have reached the depth of the first supplementary vein. This vein ends here."


    You Xi Wang asked, "Is this line connected with the main vein?"


    Onyxia shook her head, "No, the main vein leads to the deepest ce in the mines, that is the ce where the darkness erupted first. A lot of divergent veins we sealed on the way, lead to the main vein."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Then we head back to the outside, next step is to start clearing these diverging veins. Can you continue being the carrier?"


    Onyxia nodded and suddenly asked, "Why do you ask me to be the carrier? Could it be that you liked me?"


    You XI Wang was surprised and then he chuckled while shaking his head. He said, "You think too much. I can have another carrier, of course, I could have asked for one of the dwarf generals, but I allowed you to be one because you volunteered. I thought you wanted to do something for your proper, and thus we are here.


    Just so you know, I have seven fiancees. I certainly do not wish to be killed by Beauty Yuki for taking another one."


    Onyxia was shocked by his words. She did not expect this young man to have so many women, and when she heard Beauty Yuki, she realized that one of his fiancees was none other than that cold-looking beauty. Yuki had left a big impression on Onyxia. She recalled how she was cold to everyone except the handful of people in her team and when she gazed at You Xi Wang her eyes were filled with affection.


    The two people walked out of the tunnels. On the way, You Xi Wang took a mental note of the divergent veins on his mind and also his digital paper book. He recorded what sort of beasts were found in what region. He had marked all this around the walls of the veins with a glow-in-the-dark marker.


    The font was big enough for people to see. he walked back and Onyxia could not help but ask the details of the darkness inside the mines. Willian told her everything he could without revealing the origin of his knowledge. The girl did not push him much and nodded.


    You Xi Wang asked her if they had more supplementary veins in the mining web? Onyxia told her that they did have big ones. This gave You Xi Wang an idea. After two hours the people came out of the tunnels and found the team had already returned.


    You Zhichi asked, "How was it?"


    "One vein is cleared," replied You Xi Wang. This made the other people cast him a nce and then get back to what they were doing. The boy shrugged and said, "I have a new method of attack. Increases efficiency."


    The people became curious. You Xi Wang said, "The rookies can be deployed into the divergent veins inside there. These veins connect back to the main vein. We will have to clean them up first anyways so why not divide the forces and let one team each take the small veins? This way I can tackle the other big veins and the rookies can take the smaller ones. As for the main vein. The phantoms take it on."


    You Zhichi nodded and Fenny said, "I will have to give them all a tracking beacon to show up on the disy or we might get caught in the crossfire."


    You Xi Wang said, "That is all your choice. I do not mind. I have no spirit sense inside there in the darkness"

 Chapter 311: Quagmire.

    Chapter 311: Quagmire.


    You Xi Wang regrouped with his team and he described the new n to them. They were going to clear up the divergences and he will be dealing with the main veins in the tunnel. The primary vein was sealed and given up for the time till they would clear up the rest of the divergent veins. The process may be long but it will be able to temper the still somewhat glitchy rookies.


    The team had no objections and they all agreed to follow the arrangements and since then, the people began to clear up things in batches. They gave up on the cycle of day and night and the progress of the clearing groups increased slowly but surely. On the other hand, You Xi Wang started to venture out alone in the tunnels and he would even act alone to even seal the tunnels.


    Since he did not encounter any crawlers he did not take any careers with him. Onyxia was distressed but she epted this scenario. Yuki had told her already, not to have hoped. You Xi Wang will not be taking any other women. The reason was that he already had enough and his heart was set on his cultivation path and the uing test of the ancestors.


    You Xi Wang''s work pattern was different than others. He would enter the tunnels bute out only after he had reached the end of a vein. He would sometimes bring back some remains of dwarf zombies he had killed and ask the people of the army to return the things to the families of the deceased.


    This move of his had won a lot of hearts. The people were grateful that he bought them back the remains of the deceased and they could use these things for a proper funeral of their family members and pray for their peaceful journey in the afterlife.


    However, what he did not tell anyone was that he had destroyed the zombies their family members had be. He had to y these things to move forward, yet he tied to preserve things as much as he could. The progress of clearing the tunnels had increased at a rapid pace. In just a week he had dealt with three big divergent veins.


    Each of them was deeper than the previous one. He had been getting closer to the deepest part and the system could sense the source of darkness. Just as the boy turned back his head to walk out of the cleared tunnel vein. The system said, "You better get the rest of the people out of this ce, the source of this dark fog seems to be something sentient. The seals put on the tunnels are preventing it from advancing.


    I can sense the darkness in the main vein getting thicker and thicker. It is like a volcano duct ready to go off. Since it cannot erupt forward, how do you think it will explode?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Sideways. Shit."


    He ran out and tracked where the rest of the people were. After he was in themunication range he said, "Everyone retreat now."


    His loud voice in themunication channel surprised the people but within one second they all began to evacuate quickly and orderly. This was their training, if an Rmand was issued then everyone must obey it without dy.


    The Rmands were Rescue, Retreat, and Regroup. After an hour everyone was outside of the tunnels and the people were ounted for. Fenny asked You Xi wang, ''what happened?"


    The boy sighed and after removing his mask he said, "The main vein''s volume of dark mist is umting into a thicker fog. We will not be able to deal with it if it erupted the vein, like a tube crushed from the sides. The tunnels will copse and it will count as a failure.


    If we tried to rush and the tunnels erupted while we are all inside, it will be terrible."


    These words made the people calm down. They did not know how to deal with this. You Xi Wang scanned that everyone was anxious thinking about the problem, he sighed and said, "Can you all look past the problem and think about the solution? You all have the education and training to deal with this kind of situation long before you joined this group.


    Calm down and think, how you can solve this situation. I can give you one idea but that would be making you people too dependant on me. Those who wish to pass the ancestral examination shall be sharp in mind and strong in body. If your body is a sword thenmon sense is the edge of this body. You have an hour to think and reply."


    After finishing his monologue the guy sat down with the phantoms and his elder sister''s team. You Zhichi said, "You scared me by such amand. I thought something big was about to happen."


    The handsome guy smiled and said, "Something is about to go down, but I cannot let these people enjoy freebor."


    Fenny asked, "You detected the dark source?"


    Everyone was surprised and You Xi Wang raised his hand while making an OK symbol and said, "B-I-N-G-O"


    He paused and made an istion array around them before speaking. He said, "The source is sentient."


    Yuki said, "Could it be some expert taken over by it?"


    The boy nodded. Neo said, "How do we deal with thews of darkness? This thing just became an SSS mission."


    You Zhichi said, "What do you mean by thews of darkness?"


    She was not there when they faced Yuki''s grandma so the team exined thews of darkness to her. The Celestial maiden was calm and waited for You Xi Wang to speak up. However, when she saw him not responding, she asked, "Gougou, what is it?"


    The boy said, "We cannot use the tunnels as the battlefield anymore. The reason is that area has no source of natural light. Even in the lost sector, we had a source of light. Despite being covered up by a world array the source of light was natural. We need to lure that thing out."

 Chapter 312: Fishing.

    Chapter 312: Fishing.


    People heard what You Xi Wang said, they all fell silent. Fenny said, "Since we are going to fish, we need a bait and we also need a line. Even if we have the two things, we need to make sure that the big fish is hooked. So, any thoughts."


    Everyone turned their head to You Xi Wang. The boy was speechless, he sighed as he said, "I will be taking the role of the bait. The parameter arrangement is left over to you. So get moving we need to deal with this guy quick. It is getting agitated."


    The team nodded Neo and Fenny left to make the rookies do thebor work. An nced at You Xi Wang with a serious gaze and asked, "How do you n to tackle that thing inside?"


    Yuki asked, "The big gun will not work against the rulesws will it?" she was confused about this.


    Onyzia could not help but ask, "What big gun?"


    Yuki replied, "Spirit canon, we call it heavenly tribtion."


    Onyxia chuckled and said, "With all due respect. Heavenly Tribtion? This name is a bit too domineering right?"


    The other shook their heads and did not bother to exin to her. She will find out the truth when the weapon was used. You Xi Wang said, "Well, the rookies and the rest can try to use the big gun. If it does not work at the first cycle it will not workter as well. Plus it was designed to stand only one cycle.


    If the thing cannot be health by the cannon, I will get inside to fight on my own. I will be calling all of you in as well, but that will be depending on how the fight progresses. We will have to improvise on the go. You guys, don''t think too much, we can still manage this. I will go inside the tunnel, clear up thest blockage and then rush back to let this thing out."


    You Zhichi said, do you need anyone to go with you?"


    The boy shook his head and said, "It may take them a few hours to set up the parameter. I will be fine. If the thing insidees out before me, then do not worry. I might be probably a littlete. That is all." he gave her an assuring smile and walked away after a wink.


    The celestial maiden smiled faintly. She had trust in her brother. If this guy said that he can handle it then he can handle it. She put her heart back in its ce and then she also walked over to help the people with setting up a parameter.


    The parameter was a containment area for the dark creature. They wanted to contain it by using the spirit barrier, a sort of array, simr to the one they used back at the lost sector. Fenny was supervising the people to bury the array gs in the ground. The array gs this time were not arranged simply in a circle, on You Zhichi''s suggestion they arranged it in a rune pattern.


    It was an evil suppressing rune. She then asked them to arrange a few more spirit runes. Gena asked, "Big sister, why do you use the rune patterns?"


    You Zhichi smiled and replied, "This is a specific type of array developed by me and the two little devils. It will help us contain the dark creature. Spirit runes contain a trace of universalw in them so breaking the suppression will not be easy for the dark creatures."


    Gena nodded and then she asked, "Lilly and Celestia made contributions to this?"


    You Zhichi nodded and Gena sighed. Yuki, who was standing on the side, said, "Don''t worry. I also feel like I have wasted my life in front of these guys."


    The Celestial maiden chuckled and said, "These little ones have picked up the habit to read books on You Xi Wang''s codex ount. He would also read stuff when he was a child."


    Yuki said, "You Xi Wang is not normal as well. So, these two girls inherited his abnormalities."


    Suddenly she winced, her ear was grabbed by You Zhichi as the girl said, "I won''t say this again."


    The celestial maiden smiled and let go of the ear and said, "Good. He is not abnormal. he is a monster."


    The girls exchanged a nce and began to giggle among themselves. The rest were pushed into very with no consideration. Fenny was not something these rookies could handle. She was easy on the girls but the men were just a bunch of ves in her eyes at this moment.


    ...


    You Xi Wang was slowly moving inside the tunnels and he heard the system say, "I have something for you."


    The boy asked, "What is it?" his tone was a little t.


    "A set of moves for your War God sutra." said the system.


    You Xi Wang stopped and asked, "When did I have a War God Sutra?" he was surprised by this announcement of the system.


    "Humph, maggot, how can you develop something so great? This is a small reward for your deeds and services till now. Why are you not bowing to ept this gift?" said the system with a smug tone.


    You Xi Wang said, "I refuse to ept anything, you can fuck back to the corner of my soul sea, also, carry on sulking, pathetic blob of gas."


    The system was speechless then it replied, "Alright, alright, I apologize, I was a bit too savage, but this sutra can help you a lot in dealing with this creature."


    You Xi Wang asked, "What is the benefit?"


    If the system was capable, it would have pped this guy into a pig-face. He said, "This sutra will increase the output when you are battling. Also, it has skills that align with your War God''S Dance, War God''s Charge. You do not need to wait and get utilized by the opponent to show your true prowess. What say?"


    You Xi Wang was well aware of his WAR God skill''s weaknesses. He said, "Okay, sync it. I have to go fish."

 Chapter 313: Fish.

    Chapter 313: Fish.


    You Xi Wang left the synchronization to the system and walked deep inside the tunnel. The thing inside the tunnel was not going to allow him to be distracted. The system synced the sutra moves in his mind. The boy could check the overwhelming inflow of knowledge in his mind and be surprised to see the extensivity of the moves created by the system.


    He instinctively reacted and started to circte the spirit energy inside his body ording to the sutra he had just learned. After ten cycles he sensed a significant qualitative change in his spirit energy. He thought of something and asked, "This sutra can work on my sister as well?"


    The system replied, "Ummm after some changes, yes. After all, she is ady and her physique is different than yours."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Very well, then. Alter it." as he continued walking inside the tunnels. He quickly came to the edge of the blockage and sensed that the darkness inside was too thick. The situation had worsened far more than before.


    If they did not take any actions now, then the entity inside might actually wage chaos upon them. he took out a handheld Gatling gun and walked inside the barrier. The trigger was squeezed and the spirit rays started to fly and destroy the dark creatures. The process was not as unhappening as before. If not for the aid of the system, You Xi Wang would have suffered injuries twice or thrice before he could even reach the depth.


    The beasts had be crazy and more chaotic. They had not ordered and they were swarming toward him at a faster speed and rate as well. He had taken out his spear and sword to let them reap the lives of the dark beasts. Thankfully the weapons had spirits awakened and they could get stronger as they fought. As he went deeper inside the tunnel he released more of his weapons.


    For example, his bow, dagger, brawler gloves, and even war boots were released. The spirits were capable of killing the dark creatures as they attacked in groups. The charge forward became way too easy after this. The system was calmly directing the weapon spirits to attack the zones that needed more fire power while exerting the soul power to cast a barrier every five meters as they walked in.


    Suddenly a loud roar shook the tunnels. You Xi Wang said, "It is here. What shall we do?"


    The system said, "How about taking out the heavenly tribtion, firing a shot directly at the base of the tunnel, I can guide the aim. I can see the thing inside trying to break through the void crack."


    You Xi Wang was surprised and asked, "This thing is stuck inside a voice crack? That means it is an alien?"


    The system said, "Yes, so what do you think we should do. We have two options, just so you know."


    "Yes, I know. One is to help this thing break through the voice crack or to aim at the void crack to make it copse within the crack and die. However, I think I will choose the first method. This thing will be able to temper the rookies nicely? What do you think?" said the boy.


    The system also agreed with the first choice and they took out the infamous Heavenly tribtion cannon. The tunnel at the base was very big and opened enough for them to take this thing out and take a shot at the barrier in front of the beast.


    The canon was set up very quickly and then the boy held onto the trigger handles. He said, "Guide the aim,"


    The system said, "Point on degrees to the left and declination by five degrees. Then you are cleared to take a shot."


    You Xi Wang followed the adjustment instructions and charged the canon. The beast seemed to have sensed their moment and began to roar loudly and struggled even more frantically. The system made a clicking sound and said, "These dark beasts sure are beasts disregarding their strength. Dumb shit does not even know that daddy is gonna help him train brothers. Such an annoying thing."


    The canon was charged. You Xi Wang sighed and let the charged shot fire away. The tunnels were lit up with a golden glow. The spirit beam grazed the opening of the void crack and made it big enough to let the beast out and then the void crack copsed.


    You Xi Wang did not wait for the strong impact to follow, he stuffed in the cannon and ran out to the exit at his fastest speed. On the way, the spear on his back was grazing the ground and dislodging the array gs. The system said, "The fish has taken the bait, also, bastard raise your speed. The tunnels are copsing."


    A huge tremor was set off inside the tunnels and the mountains began to shake. The people outside could see what was happening.


    Fenny cursed and said, "This maniac must have done something crazy again. ROOKIES, TAKE POSITIONS, ARMS AT READY."


    Her words had just fallen and You Xi Wang came rushing out of the tunnels, while the mountain behind him gave of low roar-like sounds. The whole megalith was caving in. Behind You Xi Wang appeared a dreadful creature. The beast was eight feet tall, the half body of a human but the head of the bull. This was the dark demon they had faced earlier so they were not afraid but what was different was this beast was far stronger than the ones they had faced.


    This beast had a sh contained in his eyes. This was not usual. The beast ran and he dide inside the spirit rune array formation zone, but it looked around at the people and said, "Humans? Was this ce not infested by midget rats?"


    His words set off a wave of rage, surprise, and interest among the people.

 Chapter 314: Bull Fight.

    Chapter 314: Bull Fight.


    You Xi Wang heard the bull demon talking and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He walked forward and asked, "Yo, what rank do you hold in the demon army?"


    The bull was surprised to hear someone asking him his military rank. He replied, "You, how do you know that I am from the demon military?"


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "I have sent enough of your troops to the other side. So naturally, I know. However, I know that even a demon general cannot master the bloodthirst instilled by the darkness. So, it made me curious, how do you have sanity shing in your eyes?"


    The bull demon was angry when he heard that the guy had killed hispatriots but when he heard that the person has only seen a demon general, he became smug again. He said, "I am the Demon prince, Yhal Ghol is my name. You may not have any idea about the strength one can master when one refine the thirst of darkness. How about it? Shall we try?"


    As he was speaking, his eyes were roaming around the crowd. Suddenly his gaze focused on the Celestial maiden standing at the forefront of the crowd. His eyes sparked.


    Fenny looked at the situation and clicked her tongue, the demon had yet to say anything when she said, "Any bets, how brutal will be his death?"


    An said, "You say, brutal than the guy in Sahasa town?"


    Neo said, "I guess he will reach a new record. Say, is demon meat edible?"


    Yuki frowned and said, "Such a low taste, Neo you have fallen."


    The guy had his lips twitch and said, "It is for the wolves."


    Tiberius was also watching the scene in front of him and his hair was standing on their ends. He did not understand what was going on. Simr to him was only one person, Onyxia. She was curious and asked, "What are you people talking about?"


    Gena said, "That thing cast a bad re at elder sister. You Xi Wang will kill him brutally."


    Onyxia was surprised to hear the absolution contained in the sentence. She knew that You Xi Wang was strong but she did not have high hopes. The bull demon gave off a scary pressure and You Xi Wang in contrast looked too calm.


    ...


    Inside the circle, the bull demon said, "How about we bet?"


    You Xi Wang replied in a calm voice, "That person is not an asset. How about we fight and if I lose you can call her to fight you and then you two can decide things on your own."


    The bull demon was surprised at how this man understood and he broke out in a peal ofughter, "Hahahaha, you are smart. I like smart humans. They have the best blood."


    You Xi Wang nodded and replied, "Shall we get it on?"


    The bull demon held a big epee sword in his hand and supported it over his shoulder. He nodded and said, "Very well."


    The boy nodded and his figure flickered. Yhal Ghol was not slow to respond and he also moved. The two figures appeared together in the center of the circle. While the bull had shot forth with his left fist, You Xi Wang had raised his left fist as well.


    The boy was wearing his jade brawling gloves. The demons were far stronger than humans in terms of physique and the boy never underestimated his opponents. This was the secret of his sess. The fists connected and the impact sent off a strong shockwave in the ground.


    The floor could be seen vaguely rippling. This was not a test of strengths but a full-fledged killing blow. The bull demon also did not underestimate You Xi Wang. The system said, "Damn, this thing is strong. Exactly what you need to grind with the war god sutra."


    You Xi Wang said, "Shut up."


    The bull demon took a couple of steps back and the right hand holding the epee came down from his shoulder. The shot was directly aimed at You Xi Wang''s neck as he happened to be in the range of the weapon. When has thetter given up his guard?


    His hand flicked and purgatory came up in his hand. His hand shed at the big epee. The blow was dealt with hisplete strength and the sword also did not fail him. The two swords shed and the size of the two gave off a strange view to the eyes of the people but purgatory repelled the big epee while it was still inside the sheath.


    The Bull demon did not let the aftershock reach his hand and gave up on the sword. He moved forward to clobber You Xi Wang with his fists, but the boy was simr to him. He gave off a low growl and said, "War god Fists."


    His figure vanished and purgatory kept floating in the void. The boy appeared in front of the bull demon and they began to exchange fists. You Xi Wang countered every iing blow with pin-pint uracy. The bull demon discovered that You Xi Wang did not seem to be fighting extremely fast and nned to exhaust his tanks.


    ...


    Fenny said, "Whom of you have ever heard of his move, War God Fist,e forward to enlighten me."


    The people shook their heads, but suddenly they began to enlighten by the situation inside the circle.


    ...


    The pace of the exchange did not change much in the favor of Yhal Ghol. But You Xi Wang had begun to fight him at an even faster and lethal pace. His blows were all aimed at the vital points and the blows were not shot in a chaotic order. They were a set of patterns but the boy made it evolve by applying a random set ofbinations and permutations.


    The field was echoing with loud booms. You Zhichi said, "Channel spirit energy inside the reinforcement barrier."


    Fenny asked with surprise, "Big sis, will that not be too soon. The fight is yet to close."


    The celestial maiden replied to her, "No, the barriers will not hold. Their impact is too strong. Look at the ground."


    When they cast their gazes at the ground they gulped, the ground was rippling as if a pond of water in rain. The shocking aftermath of the blows was enough to give a wake-up call to the people. They could not feel much of an impact because they were isted by the barriers. Fenny ryed amand and asked the people to channel spirit energy in the barrier reinforcements.


    She also asked Onyxia to arrange for a few people to cast a new one immediately. The dwarven princess was reacted quickly and called over her people. They began to work in ordance to the instructions.


    ...


    The fight raged on and on, the pace was so fast the people could only see after images blurring together. Suddenly the stagnation broke and the duel tipped in You Xi Wang''s favor by half a step. The young war god made the demon prince retreat by half a step.


    It can be tagged as tactic understanding, the two stopped exchanging blows and backed away by a few steps. Yhal Ghol said, "You are strong, in the demon kingdom, none except my father can defeat me. Even if it is half a step, it is a big thing you have achieved."


    You Xi Wang tilted his head, "Can you hold on?"


    His question was obviously to ask if the guy can keep on fighting. His words made the bull demon surprised but then he chuckled and said, "You can hold on, then I can definitely hold on. Let''s go."


    That said, he made a grasping gesture and the epee stabbed in the ground flew over to his side. You Xi Wang also made a gesture and purgatory flew in his hand. He said, "I hope you are as good at handling the sword as you are at your fists."


    He took out the sword of its sheath with a shrill shing sound. The wind became sharp, prickling the eyes of the spectators. You Zhichi said, "He is going to use the sword. You all, do not look at his de directly. The dark phoenix inside is not friendly to people other than her master."

 Chapter 315: Paper Cut.

    Chapter 315: Paper Cut.


    The people heard what You Zhichi said and the people turned their gazes away from the de. The maestro has taken out the sword from its sheath directly. The sharp aura radiated from the sword was enough to make the people have goosebumps and sense prickly in their eyes.


    Yhal Ghol raised an eyebrow in surprise. He said, "You sure have an edge." his tone was that of praising a subordinate.


    You Xi Wang said, "Shall we start fighting, or are you here to socialize?" he was calm but the calmer he got the more his battle intent was invoked.


    ...


    You Zhichi said, "Those who choose swords as their primary weapon look at this fight, you will benefit a lot from it. However, control your emotions and battle intent. That sword spirit will seek blood from whoever dares to think about fighting it. The rest do not look at the sword at all. You do not wish to have nightmares." her voice was calm but cold.


    She was very angry by the gaze and words of the demon prince but watching You Xi Wang use that thing to grind himself she held back. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, she would make the most of it by enlightening the rookies.


    She was now twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Some people in the team were younger than her, almost close to You Xi Wang. The people heed her words and follow them.


    ...


    Yhal Ghol yed with his big sword and suddenly his figure vanished, You Xi Wang did not move but jerked his sword a little. The next moment a <em>Clink</em> sounded on the field. The people were shocked. They did not see any movement except for the jerk but they heard the sound.


    Suddenly, You Xi Wang''s figure vanished from the ce, as if faded away, earning a gasp from the people. The surroundings became to echo with clinking sounds and eventually appearances of the two people.


    However, the spectators all were shocked by the fact that You Xi Wang and the demon prince were moving at such a fast pace that they were leaving after images every time they took a short pause. They could even tell that the young war god was faster than the demon because his moments were almost like a jerk and the after imagessted longer.


    They were correct, Yhal Ghol was indeed a notch slower than You Xi Wang. The strength was well-matched but nobody knew what the actual oue was like because all they could judge the oue from was either the clinking sounds or the tiny sh sparks they saw.


    ...


    Yuki said with a bitter expression, "He was holding back the entire time."


    Fenny nodded and said, "He did not do his best because he could not."


    Neo asked, "What do you mean?"


    "She means that we were not good enough to keep up with his strength. You see and tell me how many moves can you hold on for in such a tempest? Xiao Wang will be gaining nothing by trying his best against us but eventually, his skills will even divert from the original path." said An in a deep voice.


    You Zhichi said, "You guys do not think that much. He would not have gone this far even today if this guy had not cast me that nce."


    Onyxia beside them was numb. She had been looking at the ground and her eyes were opened to their limits. Any more and they might fall out of the sockets. She could not believe that a light-speed battle was taking ce in front of her.


    ...


    Suddenly, You Xi Wang came to a stop and said, "Done with the facade yet?"


    Opposite him, Yhal Ghol appeared and he had a smile on his face as he said, "You are really good. How about this? I take you back to the demon kingdom and make you my general. You will have to answer only me and you can do whatever you want. We have all you can wish for, even women from exotic species are there, of course, I mean fresh ones. What say you?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "Die." calmly and he appeared in front of the demon prince.


    He held the sword in both hands and started to cut at the bull demon in front of him. The cuts looked random but that was only to those who did not know what You Xi Wang was doing. You Zhichi smiled saw the cuts.


    Not only her but all the You family members were the same. Yuki asked, "What is this swordsmanship?"


    You Tong replied in excitement, "This is the basic swordsmanship of our family. The Origami Knife."


    Yuki and the rest were smart people and when they saw the de trajectory they all realized what was going on. However, their realization was not going to bear them any fruit.


    You Zhichi looked around and after watching their confused faces she said, "Okay, rx, it is called basic swordsmanship but it is quite advanced. None in the family is able to perceive the profoundness of this skill. The reason is that you can almost make anything in the world by folding papers.


    This boy not only mastered basic origami as a child but he also learned advanced origami such as using two papers for a craft. He was weak you know, but his brain became his strength. Now he can use this art to fight you for as long as there are permutations andbinations existing in the fold patterns.


    For example, a paper bag has four folds. Now you can count how manybinations he can use. He can also make a lot of things such as birds and fish with paper and they all have a lot of folds. His swordsmanship is unpredictable, the shape in his mind will change in between and so will the cuts."


    ...


    As You Zhichi was talking, the boy was raining down des on the bull in front of him with indifferent eyes. The bull demon was waiting for when the barrage will stop. However, the pace was not slowing down and the attacks were getting even more random. A thinyer of sweat was already glossing the ck forehead of the bull demon.

 Chapter 316: Sword God.

    Chapter 316: Sword God.


    You Xi Wang was cutting at the bull demon with his sword and his pace was getting faster and faster. he did not have any intention of backing down. The bull demon on the other side was also a very talented warrior. he was able to hold on for so long under the onught of the origami sword, this showcased his skillspletely.


    You Xi Wang nodded and took a step back. He said, "You have been the first person who has taken on my sword cuts for so long but be careful, I will not be holding back anymore. You have gained my respect. You are worthy to see my full capabilities."


    You Xi Wang did not wait to hear what the other party would like to respond with and a golden glint covered his sword. The change was so drastic that the whole region was filled with sword aura.


    You Zhichi said, "Everyone, take ten steps back and lower your heads." the people all followed her instructions without dy. They were all aware of the strong aura radiated towards them. They did not wish to die.


    Taking steps back and bowing their heads low was a way to show their subjugative posture to the sword spirit and prevent it from taking them all as an enemy and attacking them. This method worked, the people were not harmed by the sword aura.


    After a few seconds when they raised their heads, they found that You Xi Wang was holding a ck and golden sword, which radiated a strong sword aura. Just by looking at the sword, they sensed something prickly in their eyes.


    Yuki said, "Did he just release his word intent? Why does it feel different than before?"


    You Zhichi said, "This is his real sword intent. What you all witnessed earlier was the intent of the sword spirit. It did not have his spirit energy infused with it. How about? Your husband sure is a mighty guy, no? Yuki-chan." she teased the girl.


    You Zhichi was very happy at this development. She had always wanted to see her brother unleashing his whole potential and show the people how great a warrior he was. Until now she had only seen him do this once when he faced the council elder with his martial spirit. However, this time was different. He unleashed a different type of potential.


    The bull demon saw this and he wanted to say something but before he could say anything You Xi Wang moved. His body was standing at the same ce but around him, thousands of spirit energy words formed and floated in the void. All were aimed at the build demon.


    The boy said in a low voice, "Sword of the gods, first move, a thousand draws."


    The next moment the spirit swords all flicked and attacked the bull demon. They were barely visible. The people on the sidelines were shivering in both fright and awe when they saw this move. They all had revered You Xi Wang for his strength but they finally discovered that this boy was a monster of a different level altogether and they could never attain what he achieved in their lives. However, this also ignited the fighting spirits in their hearts. They all wished to be better than their current self.


    The sword practitioners all found that the swords they held onto were shivering. They were radiating with the sword intent released by You Xi Wang.


    ...


    A thousand swords attacked the bull demon but he was not so easily outdone. He stabbed the tip of his epee in the ground and hide behind it. The next he heard was a continuous tinkle. After a few hundreds of tinks, he sensed a strong pain in his shoulder and found that a spirit sword has punctured his epee and lodged inside his flesh. The pain was not too severe but the dark energy inside his body was in a mess.


    He suddenly discovered the horror of the young man in front of him. He mumbled, "The holy spirit energy. How can there be someone to master this energy." his eyes were filled with disbelief.


    You Xi Wang saw that the impact of the attack was not as damaging as he wanted it to be and said, "Sword of the gods, second move, elemental sh."


    Six swords condensed behind his head. These swords were all in different colors and as the name of this move indicated they were elemental swords. A thousand swords earlier were all too standard but these swords had a trace of elementary rules within them.


    These swords represented lightning, fire, water, wind, earth, and holy elementbined with the five primary elements. You Xi Wang flicked his sword a little and the next moment six swords vanished.


    The wind element swordnded on the epee shield first and cut through it like a stone through a paper window. The epee was made with high-quality material was not very easy to get through, yet the wind sword got through it with ease. The next one was the earth sword, passing through the previous hole in the epee, it hit Yhal Ghol.


    The impact was strong and it made him stagger back. He still held onto his epee, and decided to counter the iing attack, but was he given the time to? No. The Fire element swordnded on his body next, covering him in a cocoon of mes. Yhal Ghol screamed in pain.


    The me dispersed after a few seconds, the demon prince was panting with his skin giving off a burnt smell and smoke. However, his body was already healing, thanks to the strong healing ability of the demons. As he was catching his breath the water sword struck him, it was as if You Xi Wang took mercy on him, but what happened next made the people shiver.


    The lightning element sword hit Yhal Ghol straight in the chest and the lightning covered his wet body. The demon prince let out a shocking wail in pain. CHEM 101, water is a good conductor of electricity.


    If the fire burned him on the outside, the lightning burned his insides, and before his wail could finish, a golden sword pierced his heart, and along with it the demonic core inside his body. The scene turned silent.

 Chapter 317: Fire Up.

    Chapter 317: Fire Up.


    The surroundings turned silent and only the blowing wind was audible to the people. As thest spirit sword prated the heart of the demon prince, the whole person froze. The holy spirit sword was a bane to the dark energy inside his body.


    The spirit sword did not disappear but it melted over Yhal Ghol''s body. It started to squirm all over his body, both inside and outside. The scene was anything but viewer-friendly. Some guys sensed their stomachs lurch as they picked it all out.


    You Xi Wang did not waver and said, "Goodbye."


    His words were as if amand to the spirit energy inside Yhal Ghol''s body, it began to refine the person from inside. During refinement, the holy spirit energy will cause the dark energy to evaporate, the spirit energy on the outside melted the demon prince''s skin, revealing his muscles, and then the muscles were gone, revealing a thick skeleton. The organs on the inside were all disappearing slowly.


    Yhal Ghol had tears in his eyes but no words came out of his mouth. The gentle-looking guy in front of him was a demon greater than he was. You Xi Wang seemed to have heard understood his feelings and said, "Yes I am a demon, but that is only to those who step on my bottom line. You stepped on it when you cast my sister that filthy gaze."


    Yhal Ghol was shocked but then he calmed himself at this moment, his heart evaporated. Using hisst shreds of life he cast a gaze at You Xi wang again. He wanted to know how he lost.


    "The sword of wind is to clear path for the earth sword that broke your bones, the fire was to burn you on the outside, water was to make your heated body cool down instantly and making you lower the guard a bit followed by the lightning sword. Since your external defense was lowered, your inner defense was also gone. Your organs were injured and finally, the holy spirit sword vaporize you. Simple." said the boy.


    Yhal Ghol had turned to a sand sculpture and slowly it fell to the ground. The next moment You Xi Wang said, "LISTEN UP. The task isplete here. We leave in the morning tomorrow. Any questions?"


    The team replied, "No." collectively.


    The boy nodded and left the rune array to get out. He was tired, the sword strained his body a little. He walked to his sister and said, "The task is finished, have them collect the samples. I need to rest."


    With that said the guy walked to a secluded corner and sat down crossed leg. The reason this sword move took a toll on him was because of his rapid consumption. Thest move had made him squeeze out the whole potential of his body and exhausted himself. His suit was equipped with the spirit gathering array but it could not resupply him with what he needed.


    Yang Dao sat down on the ground and began to meditate. He did not say it to anyone but the previous exchange has inflicted him with some heavy damage as well. Yhal Ghol was the strongest enemy he has seen thus far in his life. During the first exchange of fists, he had one of his ribs cracked, but he did not let it show.


    He was battling at not just one front but two. He was overwhelming the guy by showing his invincibility at the mental front and then at the physical front. None of the people saw anything wrong with him but he forgot about Gena. She had been noticing the changes happening in his body and that was the reason she fell quiet when she saw him being injured.


    You Zhichi may not have taken up the mantle of the Mentalist but she still could read people. She asked, "Gena, what did you see?"


    Her words made a lot of people turn their heads to look at Gena. The girls hesitated and said, "Two broken ribs, onemunicated fracture. Exerted spiritual energy, despite his reserves being richer than any of us. Also, his soul sea is on the verge of exhaustion. He has been pressuring the demon with his soul as well. So, the injuries are quite dire."


    Yuki looked calm on the surface but her hands were clenched into pale fists. You Zhichi had covered her mouth with her hand. She knew that things will not be as easy as they may seem, but she had no idea that it was so heavy damage that You Xi Wang had taken."


    An said, "Full strength alwayses at a cost." his tone was solemn. Fenny said, "Neo, get the earth attribute rookies to open up the copsed mines. Brother An, get some people to help those inflicted with the aftermath. Yuki clear up sword intent lingering in the void, it must be sealed. I will help you with the sealing. Gena, monitor him. Elder sister, you deal with the dwarves. He would be fine by the morning if he had said so."


    That said she walked away, began toplete her work. The rest also nodded and began to deal with their stuff. You Xi Wang did not pay attention to anyone, but he knew that back in the elf nation, Maya was affected by his injuries. That was why he was focused on healing himself.


    Besides Maya, the two little girls will also be worried about him. Despite being better at technology these guys did not have anymunication among them. You Xi Wang cursed them for such a loophole.


    The rest of the people became aware of his situation and did not say anything. Although they could have helped him, but they knew that they would have just enhanced the risk factor for him. Thus You Xi Wang carried the burden alone. This sparked their spirits even more, almost setting them on fire.


    Onyxia heard all this and she was also became adamant in her decision to get stronger.

 Chapter 318: Injured.

    Chapter 318: Injured.


    You Xi Wang sat in the corner meditating and alleviating his injuries slowly. The people did not disturb him and kept up with their tasks. You Zhichi kept a watch on him and also negotiated with the dwarfs.


    The negotiation was to ask for some resources. What she asked them for were weapons all cold and spirit weapons. The dwarves did not hesitate much, they opened up their coffers for the people. The people did not hesitate. After working with all diligence they allpleted the work.


    In the morning, the people all stood at attention in front of him as he practiced in silence. They were ready to march any moment. However, their captain still sat on the floor mending his body. His soul force was exhausted and it was not easy to alleviate the soul. He had never used any treasures to deal with this sort of injury and neither had he kept such things.


    After waiting for an hour when he did not wake up, Yuki asked, "Gena, what do you see?"


    Thetter stepped forward, her green eyes shined for a moment, and then she said, "His soul is heavily exhausted. He is trying to hold himself up but until he gets some aid of spiritual treasures. He will not be able to hold himself for a long time."


    As soon as her words dropped, a chuckled rang out. You Xi Wang said, "You underestimate me a lot, seer."


    The people were all surprised. You Xi Wang said, "My soul is hurt but it has not yet exhausted to the point where I cannot support myself. I will be guiding you rookies to take charge. If any single one of you made a mistake, I am still powerful enough to wipe the floor with you. Do you understand?"


    The people were immediately perked up. They all nodded and replied, "Hoo-ah."


    You Xi Wang walked to stand beside You Zhichi and sat on a horse beast the dwarves gave them as gifts. The celestial maiden could tell that his condition was very delicate. She held his hand with her soft jade palm. She asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"


    Her brother nodded lightly with a weak smile on his face. The boy was really in a dire state. He said, "I did not expect that supressing him like this will cost me this much. Let me ck a bit?" his voice was very low.


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "I have your back."


    The rest of the phantoms did not say anything but they were already riding beside him. They did not say much but this showed that they were very concerned for him. The rest of the people also did not dare to ck off, even a little. If they did, the phantoms whipped at them with harsh remarks.


    Fenny almost shot a rookie with her sniper rifle. Yuki stopped her and said, "You people are just wastes. Should I get down and do all this myself?" her cold tongue froze everyone. The people were also ashamed because for the past few days they have not been doing much. They were cking. When they thought with a calm mind, the tasks given to them were not as big as they thought.


    They all realized that they were just overstressing things and that was the reason for their mess-ups. When they realized the error they circted this among each other and they all calmed down and their tasks became wless.


    Neo told them that it was the result that mattered and nothing else. Thus the rookies began to achieve the goals better and much more smoothly than before. The pressure on them decreased a lot.


    On the way back to the elven nation they faced a lot of beasts and hordes, but they depended on themselves to solve them and not the phantoms. You Zhichi nodded and praised them for their performance. The two sides perfectly yed good cop and bad cop.


    After traveling for three days, the entourage finally reached the elven nation. They were all weed warmly and came to their campsite. You Xi Wang was silent most of the way. As soon as they reached the captain''s barracks, Celestia and Lily rushed over.


    Maya was kept inside the building for rest. The other hounds met with theirpanions. Celestia said, "You people, could you not help a big brother with anything. All of you are useless."


    She was enraged by the fact that You Xi Wang was so severely injured. The people did not say anything. They did not dare to say anything. The pressure this little girl radiated was something tooparable to You Xi Wang when enraged.


    Lily beside her stepped forward and ced her hand over her shoulder as she said in a cold voice, "Leave them. They are not worth it. I can understand that Elder sister You Zhichi must not have been put forward to face the foe but she must have supported the fight with arrays and the other four would have directed them like little children they are. Treat Xixi first."


    They turned around with a snort and went inside the building. You Zhichi let out a sigh, she turned around to face everyone and said, "I apologize guys. You know, they can destroy the whole world for him. Please do not take their words to heart."


    The people all exchanged nces without replying. Suddenly one voice broke the silence, "Miss You, the two girls are not lying, in our anxiety we did not really help him much. Commander did nit say anything to us and was only hard when it was in our favor. We are at fault. We will not let such a thing happen again."


    Followed by his words, the crowd said, "YES."


    You Zhichi nodded and then asked them all to get back to rest, however the squad did not budge. They were all ready to stay standing till the youngmander wakes up. This was their effort for him. Earlier words spoken by the two girls did not make them feel humiliated but acted like a fuel to the fire in their hearts. While they waited for the injured boy to be helped.

 Chapter 319: Treatment.

    Chapter 319: Treatment.


    You Xi Wang wasid down on the bed with Maya and Celestia and Lily stood beside them. Maya was also afflicted with the injuries. The little girl said, "Lily, you call out the sequence. I cast the runes?"


    Lily nodded and said, "You cast the runes for souls, then I will deal with the spirit."


    Celestia nodded and she took a deep breath to stabilize her brain. Lily said, "Start with the rejuvenation rune."


    Celestia cast a few seals with her hands and chanted some words under her breath the next moment the spirit energy in the void began to condense and gather above You Xi Wang''s head. The spirit energy condensed into a shining glyph.


    Lily nced at the glyph and said, "Increase the proportion of earth and a little pressure."


    Celestia made a few more chants and followed the instructions. The glyph in the void became golden and Lily said, "Merge."


    The little fairy with blonde hair chanted and the glyph fell from the void, it melted with You Xi Wang''s forehead. It was as if water was absorbed by a drought-strucknd. You Xi Wang''s paleplexion improved in an instant.


    Lily said, "It is working, we should skip the next one. Xixi can use the Soul Gathering rune."


    Celestia nodded and began to cast another rune. As the name suggests, this rune was used to gather soul force from the void and move it to the soul sea of a person. Soul force was something always present in the void. Every moment something in the world dies. These dead beings all have an amount of soul force. No matter how minimal it was.


    This rune will not have any effect on those who were alive. It will only gather soul force from the void and move it to the injured person. These runes were all condensed with spirit energy. However, the spirit energy in the world could not be used raw. So the girls had to refine it from spirit stones, mixing and blending all the attributes and forming a glyph with heavenly spirit energy.


    The girls were not yet able to refine the spirit energy for all the attributes by themselves. Runes condensed with the holy spirit were like thenguage of the world and heavens, they could cure ailments and a lot of other things. However, this art was almost extinct and the girls learned it with great effort.


    After casting the second glyph, Lily said, "Descend."


    Celestia followed her instructions, this rune was not supposed to be merged inside You Xi Wang''s soul force and just to funnel the soul energy inside the target. The glyph descended from the void hovered over You Xi Wang''s forehead. Thin wisps of smoke seemed to be passing through the glyph at this moment.


    These wisps were the soul force in the void. However, the soul force must be purified before infused with another living being. It is possible to have some of the consciousness left behind by the previous host. It is possible for the remenant conscious to influence the target. The soul force began to pour inside the soul sea slowly healing him.


    These two glyphs may look like an easy thing to do but they were cast bybining two-hundred and eighty sounds toplete the chant. This chant was not only difficult to learn but also not everyone can learn it. One slight variation in the sound or a dy in hand gestures is enough to change the meaning of the chant from day to night.


    Celestia was a little pale after she cast the two glyphs. Lily asked, "Shall we wait till you recover or do I carry on?"


    It was her turn to cast treatment glyphs now. She was responsible to heal You Xi Wang''s body. Despite the injury being micro controlled by the system they were notpletely alleviated. The travel along the way had made them unstable again.


    Celestia spoke in a weak voice, "You continue, I will call out."


    Lily asked again, "You sure you can hold on?"


    Celestia gave her a firm nod and her eyes assured her. The understanding between the two was equal to the understanding between the phantoms. They could trust each otherpletely. Specially when they knew that it was You Xi Wang, they did not dare to be careless and affect their master in a bad way.


    On the side, Maya''s breathing has improved. This was a good sign, Maya was not affected physically but she was effected by You Xi Wang''s condition, the reason she was in this state was because she was sharing the burden of his injuries through the spiritual bond. The two were now strong enough to ignore each other''s injury to a certain level, but these injuries were all deep and heavy.


    Lily nodded and began to make seals with her hands and then she began to chant under her breath, a glyph condensed in the void. Celestia said, "Lacks fire by a percent."


    Lily chanted and the glyph shined in gold. Then Celestia said, "Merge."


    The tiny pink fingers cast a seal and the glyph fell down from the void and melted in You Xi Wang''s body. His wounds became stable, the blood cirction returned to normal. Lily carried on casting the runes in the void and merge them with the boy''s body.


    The process was slow but it was not as taxing as the soul one. They cast repeated runes at this moment because they have not yet mastered the rune to gather spirit energy inside the body and channel it to the most needed parts to heal the injuries. They have praticed on some inanimate objects but the results were not good.


    Given the shortage of time, they did not have the privilege to perfect the art of spirit gathering rune, and decided to make use of this one. Celestia will tell Lily from time to time of the attribute she needed to add in the mix to cast the perfect glyph. You Xi Wang was healing to a pace visible to the naked eyes.


    His wounds were gradually returning to normal. His consciousness has been active for quite a time now, and the system has begun to even learn from the two girls. Yes, it has been observing the two little ones and began to learn the sounds and seals for the runes. This knowledge will help him help the others and himself in the future.


    Celestia said, "Lily, you can stop. His body is now healed."


    Lily on the other side opened her eyes, and Celestia gave her a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She asked, "How long?"


    Celestia said, "A couple of hours. We need to make sure that he is not disturbed."


    Maya sat up on the bed blinking her big blue eyes. The girls smiled at her and Maya rubbed her head against their small bodies. The treatment has been implemented, now only the maestro had to wake up.

 Chapter 320: Waking Up.

    Chapter 320: Waking Up.


    Lily and Celestia were at ease when they found Maya waking up. Now, only You Xi Wang was left to wake up. His soul sea was still being nourished with the rune. His soul sea was twice bigger than the normal cultivators found in the world. Thus the amount of nourishment he needed to recover was also twice the normal people.


    The soul force refinement rune was still working at the moment even after everything else had done all that it was meant to. Lily said, "How about we go out, Xixi will take some time to wake up."


    Celestia nodded and said, "I want to make a rune armor for him. These unreliable guys, humph, always making big brother suffer."


    Lily smiled at her and nodded, she said, "Celes, do not be too hard on them. The fault lies in Xixi. He has this habit of shouldering everything himself and he does not let anyone else around him suffer. That is how he ignites hope in everyone''s heart. Let me tell you a secret. When grandma Limao was alive, she once told us that the reason he worked so hard as a child was not because he wanted to repay everyone for their love.


    But he wanted to be stronger, everyone hoped that he would make something out of his life, and that hope became the reason he prevailed and did all he could. In the end, his achievements became something that other people can only look up to. On the day he took the seat of the family leader, he was challenged by uncle Shanwang. Guess what he did on the stage?"


    Celestia did not know what You Xi Wang was like before her arrival. She has always known him to be the source of her strength and happiness. She was aware of some of his feats as a child, but not his martial achievements. She had never asked anyone about this because she was a child.


    She shook her head when Lily asked her to guess what he did. Lily chuckled and said, "He said that if Uncle Shanwang can take hisst move and win, he will cut off his head as a present to him."


    Celestia gasped, she could not expect the always calm You Xi Wang to be so rampant. She asked, "Then?"


    Lily has ignited her curiosity, she said, " Uncle Shanwang lost. The move was Dance Of The War God. During the battle, he was injured as well and spent a few hours in the hospital. So, you see, Xixi always gets stronger when he takes a look at the abyss of death from the edge of life." her words were filled with wisdom.


    This was not something they have read in some books. They both had a close shave with life and death as children and thus they were aware of every single syble they uttered. As Lily finished speaking the soul force refining rune also slowed down a bit. The change was noticed by the girls as the slight cold in the room returned to the normal heat.


    You Xi Wang murmured and his eyebrows flickered a bit. The system also came back on and said, "Thank god to the little ones, saved our asses this time."


    You Xi Wang''s consciousness had yet to sync with his body and he asked, "What are you talking about, did we not recover because of you?"


    The system replied, "Please do not think I am so overpowered that I can heal you when you do not leave me any soul force. You understand what I mean?"


    You Xi Wang asked, "Who are the little ones you are referring to?"


    "Celestia and Lily. Who else do you think to have the capability to make me praise so wantonly? These little darlings learned the art of rune formation. I learned all their skills, however, to be fair to them, you will not be given this skill with just simple sync. You will have to break through to the nirvana rebirth realm and also write a research thesis on the runes and then I will see what I can do in this matter. This is the least you can do to learn the skills." said the system and replied to him.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Hmm, this is a good thing. I do not wish to suck it all off without doing anything."


    The two people reached an agreement. You Xi Wang was not a person to take things for granted. As he was thinking about this topic the consciousness merged with his body and after a slight jerk of muscles he woke up. He sat up and found that the two girls were nowhere to be seen but Maya was sitting in front of him. ring at him with her big blue eyes.


    She said, "You went to fight alone again. Am I a pet to you now, brother Xi Wang?" her grievance was conveyed properly with a touch of cold lingering along the edges.


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "No, Maya, if not for the fact that the two were alone here, I would have called you over to save me some trouble. The opponent was a demon prince. I dare not imagine what would have happened if it was even the slightest stronger. Almost all the power was used up.


    Thankfully I managed toplete the trip otherwise I would still be lying in the dwarven nation. I did not wish to be like that but the opponent was stronger than I expected him to be. Even after mind-reading, I could not figure out some of his attacks from fake to real, and left me a lot of damage. I swear this will not happen in the future."


    Maya turned her head away after a snort but her jumping tail was enough statement that she was happy with his admittance of fault. As the two were talking the door of the room opened up and the two little ones walked inside with a te of food and some fresh spirit fruits in it.

 Chapter 321: Death Parade.

    Chapter 321: Death Parade.


    You Xi Wang stood up from the bed and bowed to the two little fairies, who were surprised by his actions. They put the fruit tes aside and walked over to him in a hurry and said, "Xixi(big brother) get up. What are you doing? (2)"


    You Xi Wang raised his head and with a smile, he said, "It is only courtesy for the patient to thank the doctor after the treatment isplete and the patient has recovered."


    Celestia said, "Going by this, we two should kneel in front of you till eternity for what you have done for us?" with a pouted mouth.


    Lily on the side also nodded. One of them was given hope by him while the other was treated from a life-threatening ailment in his hands. They did not think what they did was enough to thank him or could even be considered equal to what he did for them. Their words surprised You Xi Wang as he broke into a chuckle.


    He picked them both up in his arms and asked, "How are my sweethearts doing?" he has missed these two little girls a lot when he was out on the expedition but bringing them along would have hurt them.


    They were cultivators but they were not yet strong enough to stand against the winds. They needed to be nursed after carefully. The two girls told him a lot of things, such as how they learned the spirit rune knowledge from the books they found in the elven library, and how the people had given them a nickname. The Maidens Of Joy.


    The reason behind this name? Once an elven child was lost in the marketce where they happened to be buying supplies, so they helped the child by telling him stories, and the child broke into a smile. The parents of the child thanked the two maidens. The girls replied to them, "We are d to help."


    The sweet voices bought smiles to the people and thus they became the maidens of joy. You Xi Wang felt a twitch at the corner of his lips. He wanted to find the bastard who came up with such a name. This was totally an attempt to make the plot influenced with hi but he controlled his urge and told the two that he was proud of them but the name was not very good.


    They were not only his family but also his disciples, how can he let them like something like this. So the fangirls were brainwashed by him to filter all the double-meaning things. After a brief interaction with the girls, he came out of the room and found that all the people seemed to have vanished.


    He asked the two on his side, "Where did everyone go?"


    Lily chuckled and said, "They all went to practice after Celes gave them a harsh scolding."


    You Xi Wang held his forehead in his palm and said, "My deal little fairy, why did you do that?"


    Celes snorted and said, "You are too soft with those big oafs big brother. Humph, they cannot even hold a candle to you, and they wish to fight in the ancestral exam? These horses needshes to keep them in line."


    She did not ept that she was a bit too rude when she scolded the people. Lily shook her head and said, "Xixi, let them be. Sometimes people need someshing to get out of their range offort. Only when you step out of the range offort do you reach the pinnacle of improvement."


    The boy was defeated by their logic thoroughly and could note up with a refutal so he shrugged and took the two people and one big wolf around to check how the people were training. He came to the training field and saw that everyone was sparring with each other. What shocked him was that they all had an intent to kill lingering around them as they fought.


    At a distance, he spotted Neo, who waved to him. The two walked over to each other and You Xi Wang asked, "What is with the killing intent?"


    Neo said, "They have controlled their killing intent a long time ago, but now they seemed to have realized that when fighting, even if just to train, the killing intent can help you increase the output so they asked me how they can get better at this regting action, and this training is a result."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "I do not see any problem with this method but what do you do if anyone gets injured? Also, how is the killing intent affecting their minds? You know that prolonged exposure can lead to deviation and mania."


    Neo nodded and said, "Big sister Zhichi took it over her to teach them all Tai-chi so that they can regte their emotions and rx after they are done with the training. The session will start after this exercisepletes."


    Maestro nodded and asked, "What about the rest?"


    Neo replied, "Fenny took the techies and is whipping them up to merge the dwarf refining and elven tech together. An is to oversee the support squad training. He is also guiding the medic department. Yuki has begun to train the swordswomen. Gena is deputy to big sister in array science department."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Good. Things are good. I just hope that you all are not pushing it too much."


    Neo shook his head and said, "Despite all your effort we found that we are not strong enough. You were injured so deeply, if it was a group confrontation, given the level, someone could have gotten grievously injured or even worse. So, we all discussed and came to the conclusion of death parade protocol."


    You Xi Wang was surprised by this statement. He asked, "Everyone agreed?"


    Neo nodded. The death parade protocol was something used by the defense forces of the metropia council. This protocol will have the forces engage in training till the moment they are almost dead. The intensity of the training will increase daily and it will take you to the point where one would be a machine. If you endure, you be a sword sharp enough to y the world, and if you cannot endure, you are scrapped.


    This protocol was banned when the council entered peace times. Since then no one has ever tried to imply this. The reason was the death rate. It was stated in the records that the people who were scrapped, couldmit suicide or grow detached from the world, eventually diverting from the path of light.


    Scrapping did not mean any harm to the cultivation, but total copse of the Dao Heart.

 Chapter 322: Lunacy.

    Chapter 322: Lunacy.


    You Xi Wang heard all the reports and monitored the training of the phantom troops for the whole day and at night when the people gathered for a meal he stood up and pped his hands hard.


    The people all gazed at him. Not only the humans but also the wolf spirit pets. The boy said, "You all have been very brave in implementing the death parade training protocol. However, I have a few things that I would like you all to know before the actual pain kicks in.


    You may be thinking that the death parade is called the death parade because of the training intensity. You are wrong, this detail is not known to a lot of people, and ording to what I know, you all did not listen to the warnings issued by the phantom team. Let me tell you the reason they all tried to dissuade you from implementing this training.


    If the trainee is unable to handle the stress and he decides to give up on the training, he will not be allowed to just walk away from the session but he will be shot to death at that very moment."


    His words sent shivers down the spines of everyone. They did not understand what it was that demanded them to be dead if they quit the training.


    You Xi Wang was aware of their confusion and continued to speak, "Those who quit will have their Dao Hearts copse. Do you know what happens to those who lose their Dao Hearts? They turn Dark. I think I do not need to tell you the obscurity the dark contains within itself. The dark practitioners will not spare anyone, not even their own families.


    You may be thinking that a person with a broken dao heart is easy to deal with but look at it from this point of view. The person with nothing to lose will go to the extremes beyond extremes to prove himself. He will desire power to stand back among his peer yet once he tastes darkness, he will never be the same.


    So, if anyone of you decided to quit the training in between, I will kill you, including the members of you family, and my elder sister. Do not think that I am joking but I would rather carry the burden of your deaths over myself than to watch you be something that may stain your family names and all that you have been till the moment you fell."


    His words were true and the people knew that You Xi Wang was not a person to joke about such things. The boy looked at the serious mood and said, "You all do not have to worry, we are all in this together. If something like this happens to any of you I will carry the burden, and if anything like this happened to me, I implore you all to act and kill me as soon as possible. I do not wish to harm my family.


    Or to ease your pains, I swear on my blood, that if I quit the training, I will turn to a mound of ash."


    You Zhichi ced her palm on her forehead as she saw this. She sighed and said, "This kid will never let me be at ease. Why does he always have to make such foolish oaths?"


    She also stood up and with a faint smile on her face, she also made a simr oat. This act of the blood oath taken by the siblings surprised the people. The whole You Family disciples stood up decisively and took the blood oath. The boy just now was the master of their family and the girl was the guardian of their family.


    The disciples were aware that the reason they did this was to uphold the dignity and the values of their families. They shall perish for the sake of their families, this message was very clearly read by all of them. After the disciples of You Family took blood oaths everyone stood up and did the same.


    ...


    After the blood oath was done, You Xi Wang said, "Back in the lost sector, our team was not the only one with spirit beastpanions, but we were certainly the one with the same type of beasts. You all, now have your own spirit beasts and coincidentally they are also wolves. From today on you, all are officially phantoms.


    You can wear the wolf head sigil on your chest with pride and I hope that you do not shame the name of the phantoms."


    The crowd replied, "Hoo-ah!!!"


    They all chased after the phantom team with all their might just so that one day they could stand in the ranks. The phantom squad was the best that they have ever since. You Xi Wang, today have not just given the honor but he had also made them hungry. Hungry to prove that they were worthy of being called the phantoms.


    He sat down next to You Zhichi and the girls said, "You are already at the bottleneck to the primal soul realm, Gougou. What do you wish to do now?"


    The boy raised his head to look at the sky and the two little girls beside him looked at his face. Celestia suddenly spoke, "Charge at Nirvana rebirth realm?"


    Her words made the seven people stop the spoons in their tracks. Yuki opened her eyes wide and then with a sigh she said, "You better not die, Xi Wang. Or I willmit suicide beside you."


    The people turned their heads from You Xi Wang to her in shock. Even the boy himself was looking at her in surprise. Gena nodded and said, "I will do the same. And just so you know, the other sisters all will do the same. They do not care for the world if you are not there."


    Fenny gazed at Gena and mumbled, "She has been seduced by my baby wang to the point of insanity. To think these two beauties will follow this hedonist youth while they are virgins."


    This remark immediately changed the tense mood to a funny one, where Yuki and Gena blushed and You Xi Wang was left with a twitching face. He said, "I am not a hedonist okay you wooden bimbo."


    Fenny smirked and said, "Oh so, now we are talking back to big momma? Kitty boy, arrange for a room. Baby wang is in heat again. Arrange for this ice cube to chill him down."


    Neo stood up in alert like a soldier and with a salute, he said, "As youmand mom."


    You Xi Wang took out his dagger and said, "Neo, if you took one step, I will discount you of your genitals."


    You Zhichi palmed her face at this. Celestia and Lily shook their head like grown-ups and said, "Big sister Fenny, you need to getid."


    The crowd froze at this, Fenny asked, "Do you know what that means?"


    Lily blinked her doe eyes and said, "We read it in a book, Madam ilex told us that when someone is tired and has a lot of emotions to vent they need to getid."


    At this, even Fenny could not help and burst out into loudughter followed by the rest of the people. The night passed away with a lot of jokes andughter.


    The sun came up on the sky and the practice began. The people began to engage in tireless events. Some tempered their bodies, while some polished their skills. some cultivated their mind and soul. The process of improvement for everyone was different as they all had different weaknesses.


    The intensity of the training was increased regrly. You Xi Wang was sitting on a boulder, naked, with a few spirit gathering arrays formed around him. The ce he was cultivating happened to be an isted cave. He did not wish to be disturbed. Only Maya followed him to guard the ce and cultivate alongside him.


    The process of Nirvana rebirth was divided into three parts. First, shed all his skin and blood and use the spirit energy to cast it anew, then for the second step, all his organs like the brain, heart lungs, etc, recast with spirit energy.


    The third step would be to cast all his bones with spirit energy. The moment he finishes this third step he will have to pass the tribtion of the heavens. If there was a w in his recasting, he will vanish from the world forever.


    However, he was confident. Also, the steps cannot bepleted in one go. His body will need time to get to the next level. He closed his eyes and said to the system, "Dude, you do not control the pain."


    The system replied, "I know, the cultivation system in this world is sadist but okay, you are a lunatic as well. But try to prevail, failure will stop the journey you know?"


    "I do." and then You Xi Wang became silent.

 Chapter 323: Recasting.

    Chapter 323: Recasting.


    You Xi Wang sat on the boulder with his eyes closed. The first thing he had to do before recasting his skin was to shed off the old one. The process was unlike something he had read in novels in his old life.


    The novels showed how people will temper the skin inch by inch in such processes. However, here, the process of casting the tempered skin was very gory. He will have to cast a scalpel with the spirit energy. This scalpel must contain the purest of the energy that a practitioner can refine and then slowly cut off his skin leaving nothing but the skeleton.


    No methods must be used to avoid the pain, the genitals were to be removed as well and then recast with the spirit energy. Imagine the guts it will take for a person to do that. However, the genitals can be avoided.


    But everythinges at a cost, if the person did not perform the procedure on his/her germ organs, then their body will have a weak spot, this weak spot will prohibit them from moving ahead on their cultivation path. If they took a step forward to the Dao Formation realm, they will most likely end up in a mound of ash when the heavenly tribtion falls upon them.


    You Xi Wang did not wish for something like this to happen. Other than the pain, there were many factors that could kill a person, blood loss, dementia during the shedding, the wrong cut injuring the dantian, meridians, or the soul sea. External disturbance. One thing that could be seen as the constion was that the spirit beastpanion did not suffer even if they shared a bond of equality.


    Taking a deep breath the boy calmed down, he first prepared the ways to reduce the risks he would face. He asked the system to use his soul force in a regted manner to control the blood flowing out the body. He cannot allow himself to die from blood loss. The next thing was to mark the pathways of the meridian, dantian, and soul sea using the spirit energy.


    This way when he would be using the scalpel he will not be making any mistakes. The cave he settled in was closed with a huge boulder. None of the people were allowed to break in no matter what they heard, or sensed. They were not allowed to inspect the situation with spirit sense.


    Maya was sitting in front of the cave door to guard him against all this, the boy had also cast a few high-level istion barriers and spirit gathering arrays inside the cave. That done, the process began. He condensed a fine scalpel with his holy spirit energy. Then manipted the scalpel with the resonance of the spirit energy to have off his hair.


    The hair was shaved off rtively easily. What followed,ter on, was more gruesome and it required a strong resolve to see it through. You Xi Wang had made up his mind when he was outside that the next time he would face his people he will be stronger. It was not only him who liked to keep his family and friends together.


    The rest of the people were simr to him in this aspect. You Zhichi will never take a step into the threshold of Nirvana Rebirth if he did not. When Yuki said that she and the others in his harem willmit suicide, You Zhichi did note forward but her intent was simr to them and if he did have a misfortunate ident then she will not even think and just kill herself. This breakthrough was You Xi Wang''s death parade training.


    The scalpel moved and took off a piece from his scalp. The scalpel did not only made cuts on the surface but also used a fine spirit thread to tear off the skin from the bones. The first ce was the scalp. You Xi Wang had his face covered in blood and he lookedpletely appalling. Half of his head was just white bone.


    The pain was so much that he had his jaws clenched. He did not let out a sound from his mouth and kept tearing off the skin from his body slowly. An inch per move. The process was slow but he had to endure as well. The reason he went slow was to be able to withstand the pain in his body.


    After three days his upper body waspletely a skeleton. He has just finished removing thest shred of flesh on his little finger on his right hand. The system aided him to make him stand up so that he can remove the flesh on his legs and waist with ease.


    You Xi Wang now did not have any eyelids to cover his eyes, he could see the mound of flesh in the floor below and the blood streaming into his organs through awork of invisible veins. The boy did not stop after he saw this sight and became even more decisive.


    Another three days passed, now what sat over the boulder was a white skeleton. He had no skin left over his body and was in a state where he understood why sometimes death was better than life. He had never thought why the people begged him for death but at this moment he himself begged himself for death.


    Now the cultivation entered the mouse crucial stage, to recast the skin and everything else, such as muscles, veins, capiries. If he missed any single detail, then he will be dead in this pathetic state. A huge amount of holy spirit energy wisps gathered and engulfed the mound of flesh together mashing and mixing it like a cement mix.


    Slowly the flesh vanished bing one with the spirit energy. The boy controlled the spirit energy to cover his body slowly. As soon as the holy spirit touched his skeleton form it gave him a sense of relief, however the process of recasting has just begun.

 Chapter 324: Oh Damn.

    Chapter 324: Oh Damn.


    You Xi Wang was using the spirit energy stored inside his dantian to cover up his body and found some relief from the pain. The amount of spirit energy he had was higher than that of the normal cultivators. The system wanted to say something but if he was to cause a disturbance at this movement, that will be spelling You Xi Wang''s death.


    The system used soul force to manipte all the shredded flesh on the ground. The flesh of a cultivator was tempered by the spirit energy. The whole world was made up of spirit energy, well cultivation was already defying science, this was only a perception of the cultivators. It was not without any base to it.


    As the people progress on their path of cultivation they will all be ousting the life span of amon human. Even the hospitals used spirit energy maniption for the treatments. When the people were injured with physical injuries they would be provided with spirit energy directly to restore the wounds.


    What the system did just now was something simr to this treatment. Even if You Xi Wang had a higher amount of spirit energy in his body, it would not be sufficient for him to recast the flesh to cover his body. Thus the shredded flesh will be recycled. The system used the soul force to squeeze the flesh.


    The cave was filled with spirit gathering arrays, but the amount was filtered and refined a lot many times to get them the purest of the spirit energy. The process was slow and the requirement was now. So what the system did was to not leave any single resource at his expense. The system would have cursed this guy for not keeping any elixirs around him at such a time and they had to resort to recycling.


    Putting the emotions of the situation aside, the system worked with all diligence. The flesh was squeezed of every single wisp of spirit energy inside it and discarded in the form of ash. The spirit energy was then transferred to his dantian.


    You Xi Wang was in a semi-conscious state, he focused on only blending his elemental spirit energies into a mix to form something like a flesh coating on his body. Everything in the world had its form.


    The form for flesh was also unique, it needed to be handled precisely. You Xi Wang will be moving inch by inch and condensing flesh on his body. He did not dare to do anything too big. Once he messed up the condensation he will be having a patch of the mutation on his body, like a chink in the armor to be pierced through with the heavenly lightning and burn him to ash.


    The progress was slow but the result was evident. The system foresaw that the spirit energy will be running out so, it took the initiative and used some spirit energy to cast a rune. A spirit rune was much more efficient than that of the high-level arrays. What''s more? Runes collected better and purer spirit energy.


    You Xi Wang did not notice all this but kept on using the spirit energy fed to him silently. It took him a week to shed the skin on his body and the time to recast it was even slower. Cultivation was a test of will through and through. Every step was harder than the previous one. This was the way of heavens.


    To achieve Dao, one must test, their strength, ideals, resolve, and even weaknesses. It was not that the invincible was the only one to achieve dao. But it was that you must be aware of all that you were to achieve Dao.


    You Xi Wang was getting aware of all the limits that he had to exceed to reach his goal of ascension, he was getting aware of all that his people will have to deal with to follow him. The boy did not regret anything he had done in this life. He had been living far exceeding his expectations.


    His previous life had taught him a lot and so did this one. He understood that cultivation was not only a constant test but also, a constant ss to learn all that you can and use it to move forward. The pain he was suffering lessened bit by bit as he cast himself the flesh. The system was doing a hectic work of casting veins and capiries through the flesh.


    The process was not a smooth one-go thing, but it was divided into condensing the spirit energy into muscle fiber, ligament, and tissues, then the lower epidermal, the upper epidermal, finally Hair. This was going to take him a lot of time and patience.


    When the human mind performs one task constantly, it will be sluggish. So You Xi Wang did things differently to keep his already exhausted mind alert. He would sometimespletely deal with the inch of the area, like condensing the spirit energy in all the forms needed. Then in another instance, he will just do the baseyer and move on with the next inch.


    Throughout the process, he was very patient. He covered his eyes as soon as he started the recasting because when he saw himself as a skeleton with live organs, he was a little creeped out. After a whole month of tedious work, he finally finished recasting the flesh.


    At this moment, he sat on the boulder with skin glowing like jade. The system spoke in his mind, "Finally, finished."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and said, "Thank you for the improvisations. It would not have been possible."


    The system snorted and said, "Finally some conscience. What now?"


    You Xi Wang said, "Go out, what else?"


    The system paused and said, "Do you not know that a thunder tribtion is gathering at this ce?"


    "Oh damn." sighed You Xi Wang.


    As soon as the recasting was finished, he triggered the heavenly tribtion. The reason was that he had a five-elemental body. This was strongly opposing the shackles set by the heavens so it had to go through the trails.

 Chapter 325: Tribulation.

    Chapter 325: Tribtion.


    You Xi Wang took out a set of clothes from his space ring and rushed outside the cave. He removed all the barriers on his way as well. He came outside the cave opening to see that the sky outside was rumbling loudly. The wholendscape was shaking with vibrations. Maya had been standing outside the cave, she said, "Brother Wang, did you not pass only one step?"


    She may be a beast but she had all the knowledge regarding cultivation from the others. Before they came here, You Zhichi had told her the basic process of the nirvana rebirth cultivation. She did not mention a heavenly tribtion. Thus, Maya asked the question.


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "Holy Spirit energy cast my new skin and vessels. This is anti heaven so the tribtion came to test me."


    As they were talking the system spoke, "Your family ising you better tell them not toe closer or the tribtion will be nastier."


    You Xi Wang ryed the message to Maya. He said, "You are to inform them not toe over at any cost. Their presence in the tribtion area will make it harder for me"


    Maya nodded and used shadow steps to vanish and appear in front of the rest of the people, who wereing over to check what was going on with the dark lightning clouds. Maya told them everything that she had just heard from You Xi Wang.


    The group of people included You Zhichi, Yuki, Gena, Ilex, and a few elven elders. The rest of the people were busy with the tasks at hand. The strongest had alreadye over here so the rest were not needed. They were all just not needed. Yes in the past one month or so You Xi Wang was not the only one who had been progressing forward.


    Yuki, Gena, and You Zhichi had reached the bottleneck in their cultivation for the primal soul realm. They were a lot slower than You Xi Wang but it was still faster than the rest of the people. The reason was that they were cruel to the enemy and crueler to themselves. The threedies had given up food, and free time to mingle with people for meditation.


    Their battle prowess had also reached a new high in this one month. You Zhichi sighed and said, "To think that he will trigger the lightning tribtion when he had just stepped in the nirvana rebirth realm. I wonder what happen in the future."


    Gena said in a low voice, "The tribtion will grow intense. It will get more dangerous for him to advance."


    The rest of the people nodded. Ilex gulped and said, "If it will get more dangerous, then why does he try. With his strength, he can live a long time and rx, no?"


    Yuki replied with her gaze locked at You Xi Wang, "He has his dreams, he bears the martial spirit of the god of war, the youngest god of war of our world. Do you think he would have achieved such titles if he was a coward? He would not have been able to rally all the people behind him if he was timid."


    You Zhichi could sense that Yuki was irked by Ilex''sment. It was indirectly suggesting for the boy to stop moving forward in his path of cultivation. Yuki was a cold demon to the rest of the world, except her parents, You Xi Wang, and her team. She did not care for anyone else in the world but her close people. As the people were observing on the sideline.


    You Xi Wang came to stand on top of a high mound. He took out his spear, sword, brawler gloves, war boots, dagger, bow, and knife. These weapons all had spirits evoked so they could float in the void on their own. The boy said, "So, there is a big tribtioning at us. Would you like to face it with me and rise to another level?"


    The weapons trembled to express their affirmations. You Xi Wang did not make any ims that he would defeat the tribtion. He was actually going to use it to temper all his weapons, and his body. He raised his head to look at the lightning crawling through the dark clouds and said, "Maya,e out, you know I can sense you beside me?" with a faint smile on his face.


    Maya appeared from his shadow, after delivering the message she hase over to his side, she wanted to wait for a moment where he was weak to appear and help him. She knew he would not allow her by his side otherwise. You Xi Wang gazed in the distance at his sister and asked using telepathy, "The two devils?"


    You Zhichi replied, "Sleeping, the timing was coincidental, saved us from making some excuse. They had been visiting this ce daily to see if you came out."


    You Xi Wang smiled and nodded. He took a long look at his sister and then the spirit weapons were worn on his body. He said, "Maya, do not act till I tell you to."


    Maya nodded and stood aside. She trusted You Xi Wang impably. The clouds seemed to have sensed that the young man was now ready, and the first streak of lightning fell down from the sky.


    <em>BOOM...</em>


    <em></em>The speed of the lightning streak was faster than sound, and golden lighting fell down from the sky aimed right at You Xi Wang. The golden lightning was the most destructive representation of the spirit energy, however, if the power within it is harnessed properly, it was the greatest treasure as well.


    It could temper the human body, unlike any other force. To face the first streak of lightning, You Xi Wang took his knife and umted his spirit energy at the edge of the knife, and a strong cutting intent radiated from him. The boy shed the iing streak of lightning. A golden sh collided with the golden lightning.


    The aftermath was a strong glow making people squint their eyes.

 Chapter 326: Holy Spirit Body.

    Chapter 326: Holy Spirit Body.


    The bright golden glow from the collision of the knife sh and the heavenly lightning strike made the people squint their eyes. Only then did a loud explosive boom sound, causing a big dust cloud to rise from the ground and block the surroundings.


    <em>BOOM</em>


    The shockwave made the people take a few steps back. Even though they were spectating from a kilometer away, they still had to move back. You Zhichi turned pale, she did not expect the explosion to be so strong. Yuki and the rest were the same. The girls clenched their fists. You Zhichi asked, "Gena, what do you see?"


    Gena was not affected by the dust, she still said, "Big sister, he is fine. Other than a few steps of retreat, he is not hurt. Though his knife seems to be covered in heavenly lightning. The spirit of the knife seems to be tempering itself."


    The two people let go of the breath they held.


    ...


    You Xi Wang had let go of the knife in his hand when the lightning struck down. Initially, he did not want to give up the knife but the spirit of the weapon had turned sentient after the collision. Only his sword and spear had evoked a higher level of spirit. He let go of the knife and the weapon floated in the void.


    He could sense that the weapon spirit will only evolve if he sessfully survived the heavenly tribtion. If something was to happen to him the weapon spirits will enter a dormant state until they encounter someone almost simr to You Xi Wang.


    The first bolt had just fallen a second one came down. There were two streaks this time. The system said, "Damn, bruh what level of horror have we provoked this time?"


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "How would I know? Did I not just cast a body of with spirit energy?"


    The system said, "Fuck, not spirit energy. It was holy spirit energy. Damn it."


    You Xi Wang gulped and said, "So, in all likeliness. We are dead?"


    The system said, "Until you pull off that w of destruction on the final nine streak bolt."


    You Xi Wang said, "That is pretty impossible you know. I can only sh one time. Nine streaks will not be dissolved."


    The system said, "Hmm, take down as much as you can and I will try to ask your weapons to y the bridge. The lightning will fall on them but you will have to use it quickly or the weapons will be scrapped."


    You Xi Wang said, "I will not be the master of this. They must give consent. Spirits are living beings."


    The system said, "First deal with the iing one, the rest is to be checkedter."


    You Xi Wang grabbed his dagger and shed twice. The strong shing intent again struck the two strikes of the lightning falling over him. The heavenly lightning all dissolved and wrapped around the dagger.


    This time the impact was stronger by two folds. You Xi Wang did not just take a few steps back, but he almost flew off by ten meters before he could control his body momentum. Maya also flew away from the impact. She spoke to You Xi Wang through the spiritmunication, "Brother Xi Wang, this thing is exceeding our limits of tolerance."


    You Xi Wang sighed as he stood back up on his feet and he said, "Yes, this is getting troublesome. How about I fly up to face this thing head-on?"


    Maya said, "Feasible."


    The reason the wolf suggested this was because the impact of the lightning also umted a lot as it fell. It was already affecting the surroundingndscape. You Xi Wang said, "Inform the others to get back. Even if I deal with it in the sky. I am not sure what the oue will be."


    That said, he made a grasping gesture to his brawler gloves and rushed up to the sky. The system yelled, "This is red gs. Are you nning to fight this thing with bare hands? You have gone nuts. Oh, lords bless him with wisdom. You wish to die directly?"


    The boy said, "Shut up. I am not a fool. I care for my life more than you."


    As he was arguing, his consciousness was locked at the three lightning snakes falling towards them at fast speed. It could be said that this streak of lightning should have been traveling at the speed of light, but the boy was also moving very fast so the things around him became slow.


    As soon as the first streak came to strike at him the boy shouted, "War God Brawl."


    The intent to punch the skies into rubble broke off from him and he waved his fists. The momentum was so strong that the surrounding wind pressure changed.


    ...


    Gena on the side was shocked when she saw the changes in the surroundings. She said, "He has be too strong now."


    You Zhichi asked, "What do you mean?"


    Gena said, "The intent to punch had made thend below him rise into a small cliff. It is as if his fists had sucked thend with them."


    As You Xi Wang unleashed his fists, thend below him turned into an obscure canyon. A lot of cliffs had already formed below and a lot more were forming at a visible rate. They were now standing two kilometers away from the epicenter yet they could sense the rumbling waves echoed from the collisions.


    The punches fell down on the lightning strike and diminished some of the iing impact. You Xi Wang did not even know how many punches he had shot before he was shunned away and with a sonic boom, he fell on the ground, forming a crater in the middle of the canyon that has just formed.


    The skies were still rumbling, but fortunately You Xi Wang got through the third obstacle. His body was tingling with the lightning coursing through him. The brawling gloves came off his hands on their own and floated to a corner in the void to temper themselves with the leftover lightning in them.


    The guy asked, "Where are we? Who I am?"


    The system replied, "We are in toilet and you are poopy stick."

 Chapter 327: Bring It On.

    Chapter 327: Bring It On.


    You Xi Wang heard the system ridicule him and said, "Cut me some ck, will you? I dealt with that perfectly."


    The system said, "You did nothing, master. Do you see the four serpents advancing towards us?"


    The boy stood up with a back flip and startedughing loudly. The system said, "Do not say what I think you are going to say. Do you hear me, You Xi Wang?"


    The boy however still said what he had in mind, "Huahahahaha, I will break you apart, Heavens." his voice was not quite, it was heard by the people at the border of the tribtion area which made them even more nervous.


    The heavenly tribtion clouds seemed to have been irritated by this. They thundered even louder, and the speed of the falling lightning streaks became even faster. The system gave up all hope and began to regte the heavenly lightning circting inside You Xi Wang''s body. The boy called upon his war boots and with confident strides, he climbed the sky as if walking of stairs.


    You Zhichi from the side saw this scene and said, "This brat, taunts the heavens and says that you should not worry or you will grow older soon? What screw is lost in his brain?"


    Yuki and Gena chuckled. Ilex asked, "Why are you guys not worried about him?"


    Gena shook her head and said, "Will worrying about him make it any easier? He is going to enjoy this fight with the heavens. You may not know but he is called the youngest God Of War for a reason. That reason is that he seeks a good challenge every time."


    Her words had just fallen and You Xi Wang began his sh with the fourth lightning strike. He had his war boots draped on his feet and with that, he began to kick the lightning ording to his god of war sutra.


    His strength was not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, he was getting better at fighting with the heavenly lighting. The flesh of his body was being tempered and reaching a new level of union with his body every moment. The more he fought the more his body was in sync with the new flesh.


    As he fought a big smile surfaced on his face. He was enjoying the dance between the clouds and lightning. His feet had been moving at a very fast speed, the boot collided with the heavenly lightning, breaking them into a weaker form by absorbing their energy. The excessive energy was transferred to You Xi Wang to temper his flesh.


    The lightning snakes were dancing around them like snakes chasing after their prey. The battle scene was nothing short of fantastic. As the boy shed with the lightning, sparks flew in the surrounding like firecrackers. The booms were sounding continuous as they attacked and defended.


    At this moment, Fenny, Neo, and An also arrived. They regrouped with You Zhichi and the rest. What''s more, even the two little girls were there. You Zhichi asked, "Fenny, why did you bring them here?"


    Fenny sighed, "They threatened us that they will set fire to the barracks and they did that upon being denied. So for the sake of others being disturbed in their practice, we had to bring them over. Forgive me, big sister, but these two are even more toxic than I am."


    Celestia, "LIES. It was your idea to set fire to the barracks so that you can have an excuse to bring us here. I can have snowke be our witness."


    ...


    Metropia, the capital of the federation. Year 2021B.


    The earth has now be the federation. There was just one government, one military, and no borders. Humanity hase a long way from a time where people discriminated against each other based on their ethnicity or color.


    It was said that only in times of peril did peoplee together. Such a time came when a terrible virus hit humanity with a death toll that changed the way of life known to people. Only withbined effort did the people survive. From that time, humanity entered a phase where they dissolved all the borders and pooled in the resources and efforts to get a better life.


    The efforts led them to scale the starry sky. Gradually, they colonized every in the sr system. They terra-formed it to make it liveable ording to human standards. On the other hand, they also developed a gic serum to help the human body get past the norms. The result was a generation and civilization that were far stronger than its predecessors.


    At such a prosperous age, a boy was shuttling through the heavily crowded sidewalks. The boy was a teenager, with handsome features. He was almost two meters tall with slightly longer hair jumping on his forehead as he ran with a bag slung over his shoulders. The boy was dressed in ck pants, white shirt, paired with a maroon zer and tie. He had ck shoes tied on his feet.


    On the left chest pocket, there was an insignia. The crest was of two swords diagonally intersecting each other. At the bottom of the crest, a few words were also inscribed. They said Federation Star Academy.


    This was the most prestigious school in the whole world. The boy was a weak-looking schr. A student in the university tech department. He was rushing to his ss at the moment because he waste. This was the second time he waste for the ss. The reason was that he overslept. He mumbled to himself, "Shit, missed it again. Ms. Rosa will eat you raw and she will not even spit out your bones."


    He was rushing to the school and had to get on the monorail from his ce to the school. He lived on the outskirts of the capital, and it took him an hour to get to the school from here, despite the speed of monorails. His parents were both ordinary people with basic day jobs. Despite the rush, they still miss stuff by a few minutes and that makes things messy for them all.


    Shi Lang stood in front of the monorail station as he watched his ride to school vanish from his eyes. He sighed and sat down on a bench nearby, waiting for the next monorail toe in. He fished out a pen click device from his pocket and clicked on the side of it. The device projected a holographic screen in the void. He looked at the date and mumbled, "A few days more."


    His eyes shed with an unexinable sh. He blinked and his eyes returned to normal as he skimmed the screen. After a few minutes, he sighed and said, "Another is conquered, oh, I mean allied. Terran reporters surely know how to justify things."


    After eons, humans have evolved, and they have be Terrans. The efficiency of the race had increased to a level where everyone was born superhuman. However, it was not the limit. The strength they all had could be increased by practice and external means.


    The strength barriers were divided into nine stars. After breaking through the third-star level, humans all acquired special abilities. These abilities were divided into three ranks, low, medium, and high. These ranks decide what level can one rise to in the future.


    Shi Lang sat on the bench, lost in thoughts when a monorail entered the station. The boy hurriedly stood up and boarded the rail with a lot of other people. The rail was truly the sonic monorail. This vehicle used electromaism to run at speeds almost close to that of the sound. During themute, Shi Lang stood in a corner with his eyes closed and head down.


    This was his daily routine. A mechanical voice sounded, "Next Stop, Federation Star Academy. Thank you for joining us."


    Shi Lang opened his eyes, and as the automated doors opened, he stepped out. He did not pay mind to the things in his surroundings and moved to quickly tag his card with the exit gate and rush to his ss. He only had three minutes to cover a distance of two kilometers.


    He strapped his bag on both shoulders as he rushed through the crowd. As soon as he tagged his wristwatch at the exit gate, he ran. The speed was faster than the normal people, but still a lot slower than the few other students beside him. He was not the only e.


    Shi Lang was a one-star Terran. If he could not get to the level of a three-star within two months, then his schooling will end and he will not be able to join the federation military. That was his only way to ensure a better life for his parents and to see the rest of the world. He did not want to be limited to the earth and be a frog in the well.


    Generally, he was not strong enough to even be a student of this ce and neither was he wealthy. The reason he was allowed to study here was that he made it to the top of the schrship exam initiated by the academy. As these thoughts ran through his mind, the boy increased speed, and finally, he entered the technology department building.

 Chapter 328: Nirvana.

    Chapter 328: Nirvana.


    You Xi Wang''s roar made the dark clouds thunder so loud that the cliffs around him turned to dust. It was as if the heavens were going to destroy the whole world. However, the boy still stood on his spot with his head held high.


    He gave the bonds that held him back. The bond of rtionship and karma were things that have long held him back from going crazy in his pursuit of strength. He had always thought of taking things slow and moving forward with everyone. However,tely, he has sensed that this patience of his has been burdening his friends.


    They all have developed thinking that they are the reason he holds back when ites to the pursuit of strength. This feeling has clouded their way to the strong. You Xi Wang has lit up their spirits more than one time, however, the result is not within his expectations. He did not show them any difort but it was true that he was worried about their growth.


    Today when he was smitten by the eighth lightning strike. He realized that if he kept holding back then he will be a mound of ash, and his people will follow him. The boy did not want this to happen so he let go of the shackles holding him back.


    You Zhichi on the side heard this and smiled. She said, "You all, will now have to run faster if you wish to catch up with his pace. He is going ahead."


    Yuki said, "It is about time he stopped holding back." Fenny nodded. Gena did not have any reaction she was focused on You Xi Wangpletely. The two little girls understood what was going on but they were already ahead of their peers since they were in the fifth stage of the body refining realm.


    Yeah, take that. They were not only ahead in theoretical knowledge but also cultivation. They understood that You Xi Wang had been holding back because of the others and that is why they were always dissatisfied with them.


    ...


    The system said, "You have done it. Go deal with it."


    You Xi Wang said, "I do not take orders from anyone. You better shut up and don''t ruin my high." He watched as the ninth strike fell towards him. The boy did not faze and jumped in the using. He flew over and came to a stop in the middle of the clouds and thend.


    He took a battle stance with his palms open. His actions confused the other people but they could not stop him. The first lightning streak fell on his body. You Xi Wang was about to be hit square on his chest when his right hand came in contact with the bolt and his body moved to the right. The lightning streak did not harm him but was redirected in the void.


    The harm was that his palm was charred. This was the impact of the heavenly lightning. It will destroy everything thates in direct contact with it. Even if You Xi Wang had a holy spirit body, it was still notpletely tempered.


    The boy gazed at his palm and channeled all the heavenly lightning energy he has absorbed on the surface of his body. Heavenly energy can counter heavenly energy. The second lightning streak came charging at him. This time You Xi Wang kicked off of the streak using his feet. He covered the surface of his feet with heavenly energy.


    The impact was nullified and the energy inside his body became stronger. This gamble paid off, he began to umte new energy as he countered the lightning. Celestia mumbled, "War God''s Dance."


    Yes, the movements were in line with the original move that You Xi Wang created with the spear and used it in the first duel he had in this world. The spear was reced with his body but his movements were still the same.


    You Xi Wang had grown tremendously in his new life. From a weakling to someone the people called a War God. From a fickle-hearted person to the one who wore his heart on his sleeves. He hade from a life, where he gave up on himself, then he cherished his bonds so much that they held him back.


    Only today did he realize that cherishing the bonds does not mean he has to hold back. He can always cherish the bonds in his heart. He was not alone and neither were the people in his heart going away.


    With his mind flooded with such thoughts, he dealt with the lightning. Slowly the lightning streaks became weaker. It took them a couple of hours to vanishpletely. However, the dark clouds still did not vanish.


    The golden lightning turned into crimson. The system said, "The final smite ising. Do you best."


    You Xi Wang was aware that this iing strike cannot be solved by anything else but his destruction intent. He sat down crossed leg in the void as the crimson bolt condensed above him.


    ...


    Gena said, "This bolt contains the strength of all the strikes he had faced till now. If he could not hold on, then..." her meaning was obvious but she choked at the end. Her heart was not strong enough to say those words.


    She had been given a hope to speak by You Xi Wang. He was the only one who did not look at her like a freak, when he found that her eyes were special, on the contrary, he loved her. Took her as his friend and finally a person who resided in his heart forever.


    Yuki, Fenny, and the rest were the same, their eyes had fear and anxiety. You Zhichi was the only one who stood there calmly. No emotions were visible on her face. She said, "He will hold on."


    Her voice was calm, and not loud but it was still conveyed to You Xi Wang like a whisper. The boy smiled and the clouds rumbled. The crimson bolt of heavenly destructive lightning fell. You Xi Wang invoked his martial spirit.


    His body was covered in the armor of spiritual energy with the phantom of weapons flying around him. There were seven weapons around him, all glowing with vigor. With a wave of his hand, the weapons phantoms flew towards the crimson lightning.


    However, the fickleness of his defense was visible at a nce. Before the weapons could even meet the streak of lightning they vanished. As if they never existed. The boy condensed all his destruction intent on the fingertips and shed.


    The destruction w flew through the void and shed with the lightning. However, since the technique had yet to reach the level ofpletion, the sh entered a stage of stagnation. After a few minutes. The destruction w cast by You Xi Wang cracked. However, it divided the crimson streak into two.


    The lightning streak pierced through the ws, falling on You Xi Wang''s armor. His martial spirit took the burn and vanished. The rest of the lightning hit You Xi Wang.


    The boy fell from the sky with a loud bang. The people on the sides froze in their spots. They all looked at Gena, who had tears covering her cheeks. Her lips were squirming but she could not make a sound.


    You Zhichi did not hesitate anymore. If the lightning was going to fall then so what? She moved and her figure flickered next to where lied You Xi Wang. The whole body was charged, she could sense the vitality seeping out of him. She sensed the people rushing over when an almost inaudible telepathic voice sounded in her mind.


    "Stop them."


    You Zhichi immediately cast a barrier of the highest level stopping the people froming over. She understood that You Xi Wang did not want them to see him in such a condition. Tears formed in her eyes but her face was calm. It was as if her heart has been covered with frost, freezing all emotions with it.


    The dark clouds dissipated, and rays of warm golden light pierced through them. The glow converted on the shared body of You Xi Wang. His body began to glow and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Slowly his body floated up from the pit.


    Watching the shared body the people were shocked, the two little girls knelt on the ground, thinking You Xi Wang have passed away. How could they know that the heavenly radiance on his body was the reward for passing the tribtion?


    The radiance healed his body, from inside to outside. His nervous system, his organs, his skin. Everything was being healed in front of them. The hair on his head grew long with every passing minute. His meridians were reconstructed, his dantian was strengthened, his soul sea was fixed.


    You Xi Wang had gone aplete nirvana. The golden radiance slowly vanished. Leaving the boy floating in the void, as if he was inside the womb of his mother. You Zhichi sensed him being alive and regained her emotions. She waved his hand and took out a white cloth from inside the space ring.


    The boy suddenly stretched his body and let out a yawn. Hended and covered himself with the cloth as he said, "Am I handsome? Or Am I handsome?"


    You Zhichi could help but chuckle at his antic as her hand pinched his ear. The whole void was echoed with a wail, "I AM SORRY, BIG SIS."


    ...


    ||Give my new book, Ace Of Terrans, a read. Thank you.||

 Chapter 329: Departure.

    Chapter 329: Departure.


    You Xi Wang was taught a hard lesson by his sister for acting like a maniac. Thoughter the girl just hugged him and broke into tears. She said, "You better not slow down. I will catch up to you, understand?"


    The boy smiled and said, "Yes, you better do, for you know, I do weird stuff when left alone."


    You Zhichi smiled and the rest of the people began to congratte him for getting through the tribtion. The girls expressed their love with a passionate kiss. You Zhichi had reached the bottleneck of her cultivation realm and this incident had given her some inspiration. So she went into a retreat.


    Celestia and Lily showed You Xi Wang his video and they asked if they can share it with the people when they go back home. After some thought the boy said, they can show it only to the people in the family and not on social media.


    The two girls agreed to his instructions and they all went back to the campsite. You Xi Wang needed to rest, he may have been rejuvenated but his mind was still tired. Stress cannot be erased by the healing bestowed by the heavens.


    If he had no breath left inside him when the crimson bolt hit his body, then the charred body would have to be brought back home for a funeral. Thankfully he managed to cling on to life, the system was the one who saved him. As the crimson lightning bolt entered his body, it started to destroy everything, from organs to spiritual points and meridians.


    The system used the soul force to hide itself. The system was like a blob of spiritual smog in his soul sea. This blob did not wait for the crimson lightning to get to it, and using You Xi Wang''s soul force it moved to the heart. The system had earlier imed to be an entity that was above all thews and rules of the heavens.


    However, when it was in this world thews of the world did have some effect on it. After it hid from the heavenly lightning, coursing through You Xi Wang''s body, it found You Zhichi had already arrived next to her brother. It was the system that asked, her to stop. Then infusing the soul force in You Xi Wang''s heart, eased some of his pain.


    This moment You Xi Wang was about to let out hisst breath but the system said, "Hold on. Your sister will kill herself if you did not hold on."


    The fading consciousness of You Xi Wang finally became alert. That was when the heavenly radiance washed over him. The group hase back to the campsite and found that the people did not bother with them. They greeted You Xi Wang with a smile and said a simple congrattions, and then back to cultivation.


    The people here were all almost at the peak of the primal soul realm. They did not ck and they did not give in to the harshness of the protocol they have chosen. The strengths have risen so much in the past month that a single squad from this big group can deal with the demon prince and make him flee in fright.


    That said, You Xi Wang came to the barracks that were set on fire by his two disciples. You Zhichi punished them with some chores before going into seclusion. She used the same cave as You XI Wang did. Tiberius was set to guard the ce.


    Maya had also gone through a transformation that came as a surprise to everyone. She had be a human. Yes, the people did not know how to react when they saw a little girl with silver hair on her head, but when they saw two wolf ears and her blue eyes with vertical slits, they realized that it was Maya.


    The crescent moon on her forehead became smaller as if made of rogue. She fainted aftering close to You Xi Wang''s body. The weapons were all same. The inferior spirits evolved to higher-level ones, and the spear and sword, You Xi Wang used, had be superior spirits.


    The golden dragon spirit of the spear had taken a form of a man with golden armored man. His eyes were sparkling with the shes of lightning. As for th Purgatory, the dark phoenix had transformed into a woman, she had a ck dress over her body and revealed her fair jade-like flesh, tempting the people. Her hair was left loose. Just her eyes were not fitting in with the appearance.


    Her red eyes flickered with amber hidden inside them. She gave the people a dangerous vibe. You Xi Wang had decided to deal with all these things after he reaches the barracks. However, before he could deal with anything, he fell on the bed, unconscious.


    The people around him became worried, but Gena told them that he was fatigued and the exhaustion had made him fall asleep. After putting the loli Maya in another room they left the two people and the weapons alone.


    They all knew that You Xi Wang needed to rest. The people left and the boy rested in his room. It took him three days to resume his normal operation. He would eat and sleep and repeat. That was it for the three days.


    Maya woke up the third day. Her body was equal to a girl of ten years. She spoke in a silky voice, "Brother Xi Wang."


    You Xi Wang smiled and patted her head, he said, "Wee, Maya."


    The girl smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. I would have stayed a beast if not for your blessings."


    The boy said, "What are you talking about? If not for you taking on the six streaks from the eight, I would not have survived at all. So, we both got each other''s back."


    Maya smiled but then she frowned, "It is weird without a tail."


    You Xi Wang was surprised and then heughed out loud. He said, "Let us go out."


    Maya hesitated and asked, "Can I hide in your shadow? I will go out slowly? The people all re at me, I feel ufortable."


    "Okay, take things at your own pace." said, You Xi Wang. Maya entered his shadow as she used to in the past, and the boy took out his weapons from the space ring. The golden dragon spear and Purgatory were floating beside each other.


    He asked, "Will you two note out?" in a soft voice.


    The two spirits materialized in front of him. The warrior in the golden armor knelt on the ground while thedy in ck came and directly sat in You Xi Wang''sp. The boy smiled and said, "What should I call you two?"


    The man in the armor replied in a deep voice, "Long Ling."


    You Xi Wang nodded, and said, "Good name. What about you?" he turned his gaze to thedy sitting in hisp. Thedy replied, "My name is Feather."


    The young man nodded and lightly patted on her bouncy butt, "You better not act like this in the future. My weapon spirits must have a level of decorum. Okay/"


    Feather stood up from thep and her appearance turned into an elegantdy. She bowed and nodded, "I have seen the lord."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Good, now you two can rest, I will call upon you when I need."


    The two people nodded and turned back into spirit energy as they blended with the weapons and vanished from the ce. You Xi Wang came out of the phantom squad''s barrack and found that the people were still immersed in practices respectively.


    He found someone when he found that none of his friends were out. They all seemed to be in seclusion, he did not bother with them and began to guide those who were missing something when it came to martial arts or formations science. The people in the camp all were happy to receive guidance from their leader.


    It took two months for You Zhichi topletely advance to the nirvana rebirth first realm. As for all the others, They took one more month toplete the steps. They did all reached this realm with the perfect physique. Now the further realm will not be a problem for them.


    You Xi Wang dered that it was time they returned home and participated in the ancestral examination. The people agreed, they were all aware that given their talent it will take a long time for them to reach the nirvana rebirth realm. So they did not bother waiting and after reaching the peak of the primal soul realm they all came back to the garden of you family mansion just like they had gone.

 Chapter 330: Shocking Return.

    Chapter 330: Shocking Return.


    You Xi Wang brought back everyone, safe and sound. When they came back to Metropia, the sky was dark, it seemed to be the night. An and the rest of the phantoms did not wish to bother the You family at this hour and they all flew away instantly. Yuki and Gena had gone to the Ushijima household with a promise that they will return sooner.


    The boy nodded to them, he nced at the people standing in front of him and said, "Rookies, you have all now be the pros, go back, and rest for the night. The next task ahead of us is to deal with the exam. Be sure to win honor for the family. Understood?"


    "Hoo-aah." replied the people.


    You Xi Wang waved his hand and said, "Dispersed."


    The two little girls were standing behind him, they said, "How about we pay a visit to thepany in the morning? We are not eligible to participate in the exam."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "We will see about that in the morning, you two go get some rest. Tomorrow, you have to guide the children in the family. You must teach them what you have learned ording to their talents. Compose a strong team, in the future, you have to deal with the leftover dark dwellers. Also, Celestia, remember your oath to take revenge?"


    Celestia nodded heavily and said, "How can I forget that? However, I am in the body formation, that dweller was in the core formation realm, can I deal with him?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and crouched down in front of her, cing his hands on her shoulders he said, "Do you only have the strength of a fifth-grade body formation practitioner? Did you forget level three spiritual runemaster and level five array master?"


    Celestia looked up at him with a surprise in her eyes. She was a kid and sometimes she lost her confidence. You Xi Wang now was a mentalist. He could tell what the people were thinking at a nce. he was aware of the situation with this little fairy when he woke up from the tribtion. An expression of doubt was written all over her face.


    You Xi Wang saw a glint in her eyes and said, "Did you forget that you have Lily beside you. can my two disciples not take on a filthy dark dweller in core formation? Did you two forget that even the primal soul cultivators were scared of you in the camp? Or did you forget it so quickly that you were called Maidens of joy by the elves? You can do it, have confidence in yourself.


    If your master can deal with the tribtion for the second time, then you can deal with the dark dwellers easily. No?"


    Lily came to Celestia and held her tiny hand as they two exchanged a nce and nodded heavily. They stood up in attention and said, "Hoo-aah."


    You Xi Wang could not help but chuckle at this. Their high-pitched voices were adorable at this moment. He held them up in his arms and walked to the inside of the mansion. You Zhichi followed them with a smile on her face. She had never found out how her brother was able to make people have hope by stating the obvious.


    She did not want to know either, her motive was to support her brother forever, this was all she wished for. When You Xi Wang was a child and diagnosed with narrow meridians, You Zhichi was told by her parents that she must always stand beside her brother regardless of anything, and ever since that, she has been beside him.


    He also never let her lose hope, he was her beacon of hope and she was his light. This bond was something that made the two children who lost their parents suddenly into warriors that the world will revere.


    They entered the house and found that the ce was very silent the people were sleeping. You Xi Wang dropped the two girls in their rooms and said, "You tow will go to the office in the morning, you will follow our secretaries, and learn from them. Okay? While nning your actions against the dark dwellers."


    The two girls nodded. You Xi Wang saw through their anxiety and said, "Maya. You stay with them."


    Maya appeared from his shadow, even though she was even younger than the two people, technically but she had a physique of an older girl and she also had an IQ better than them, because of her experiences with You Xi Wang.


    The wolf girl nodded and the three went inside the room to rest. You Xi Wang sent his sister to her room and came to his room respectively. However, as soon as he entered he spotted three bodies lying on his bed, covered in a quilt.


    The boy gulped and after closing the door he took off his armor and slid under the nkets. His movements did not wake up thedies but they all subconsciously came closer to him. They slept contently.


    ...


    The next morning, You Xi Wang woke up to a soft feeling all over his body. He opened his eyes only to see Susan resting over his chest and looking at him with a longing and doting gaze. He said, "Hello Beautiful." in a soft voice.


    Susan replied, "Hello handsome. How are you?"


    He smiled and the two chatted in a low voice without disturbing the two others. Susan told him that she had an adventure on her trip and broken through the primal soul realm. You Xi Wang smiled happily and held her waist in his arms and kissed her lips gently.


    He missed them a lot. Thedy did not shy away, she responded to his actions with great enthusiasm, suddenly Petra spoke in a sleepy voice, "Emily, sister Susan is being naughty in her dreams again."


    You Xi Wang broke away from the kiss in a surprise and then he chuckled. He did not keep it low and broke into a burst of loudughter as he teased Susan. Thedy tickled him as she sat on his waist. The two girls heard a male voice and opened their eyes slightly and then they woke uppletely. The four people squirmed together and kept on chatting for a while. You Xi Wang was filled in about what they did in his absence.


    The boy nodded and then he received a call on his holo-phone. The caller was You Zhichi, who said, "Gougou, family meeting."


    The boy nodded and then he got into the washroom with the threedies. They did not do anything indecent but just teased each other and then got dressed. You Xi Wang wanted to shave his hair but thedies said that it looked good on him so he should let it be. Thus wearing a crisp bright white shirt, blue denim, and white sneakers, You Xi Wang walked to the gathering hall.


    His hair was like a lion''s mane for some reason. It looked very dominant and handsome on his face. Paired with his sword-like sharp eyes, spear-like stout back, fearless strides, everything fits in the definition of a god of war.


    You Xi Wang was seen by a lot of staff members on the way and they all greeted him with a smile and a bow. However, the reverence in their eyes was strongly seen as well. The elders and the rest of the family have already arrived at the gathering hall.


    As they saw him standing at the entrance, the elders stood up and bowed to him as they shouted, "WELCOME BACK, MASTER."


    You Xi Wang walked with one of his hands behind his back. He nodded to everyone and as he climbed the stairs to his big chair he said, "It is good to be back." then with his gesture, everyone sat down.


    You Naixin was the acting leader in his absence. Thedy asked the people to provide him with a detailed report of the events that took ce after he left. The boy nodded and some things while adding a few words on how to deal with some situations. He disyed hisplete expertise to the family once again.


    You Shan Wang, his eldest cousin stepped forward after the reporting was done, he asked, "Master, pardon me for asking, but what is your strength now. I cannot sense any fluctuations from you."


    The spirit energy fluctuations were emitted from every cultivator but the guy had to ask this question since You Xi Wang emitted none. Before the questioned person could answer, Celestia spoke up. She was a cultivator now, so she had the right toe into the gathering hall with Lily.


    She said, "Everyone, I would like to show you something. After watching this video. You will realize what is the level of his strength is."


    You naixin said, "Little fairy, show us quickly then."


    Celestia giggled as she used her holo-phone to project a holographic video in the space in front of everyone as she hopped her way to You Naixin.


    The next thing was to wake up the collectively shocked people of the family. .

 Chapter 331: Moving Forward.

    Chapter 331: Moving Forward.


    Celestia and Lily had to spend a lot of effort to wake up the shocked people. They all looked at You Xi Wang with a newfound reverence. Their gazes made the maestro ufortable, and he said, "You guys do not look at me, big sister also stepped into the realm of Nirvana."


    The people received another wave of shock. You Zhichi was even more flustered than her brother and she threw him under the bus, as she said, "I only promoted alone, with my spirit beast ranking to level eight, but Maya moved to the level of holy spirit beast, she transformed into a human. He also got to holy spirit weapons, Golden Dragon Spear and Purgatory."


    You Xi Wang again be a focus of the family and he could only palm his face, he suddenly let out pressure from his body. The people were surprised, they all had difficulty breathing. However, the pressure onlysted for a moment, and You Xi Wang took it back.


    He said, "Several elders have now been stuck in the realm of Primal soul, the reason is that you all are looking after the family. However, you are holding yourself back. They will only send you all to the ancestral if you did not cross the Nirvana rebirth realm to the next step in a limited time, but if you stopped thinking about everything, believe me, it is just a question of gritting your teeth and recasting yourself. If you can do that, andpletely recast your body, then you will be able to to the level of Dao Formation."


    The elders were all holding back because after You Liang Xin and Chen Limao passed away they all stood back up to hold the family firm. However, in a blink, You Xi Wang had grown to a level where he can face the whole world for the family if need be. It has been two years since the two people passed away.


    You Xi Wang could read them all like an open book. He stood up and said, "The younger generation will start the election process, the elders will focus on increasing their strength. It is high time that everyone moved forward from the trauma. My parents may be watching over us from somewhere, if they saw that I, being how far I havee, yet left the family elders behind, they will scold me. You all old people do not need to be burdened. Leave things to us, of course, my grandmothers are all still in full bloom so they all can take it easy, but I will not intervene if these old boys bullied you all."


    The crowd erupted in a burst ofughter, You Naixin said, "They dream, they can bully my sisters-inw. Humph, also, brat, you just saved yourself from getting scolded by the full bloom you mentioned, all thedies in our house are beauties. Also, it is time you take your wives officially. Enough pursuit of strength.


    I propose the master of the family getting married before the ancestral exam, who favors, who opposes?"


    Susan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Granny, we need to say something."


    Her voice attracted everyone, You Naixin nodded and asked, "What do you wish to say?"


    Susan gulped mouthful saliva under the gazes of the people and said, "Granny, Xi Wang is strong and capable, but we have yet to get close to his level, if he took us as his brides, we will not oppose but the world will talk about us being weak. Yuki and Gena have stepped into the Nirvana rebirth realm, so I hope, we are given some time to at least reach the peak of the primal soul realm. We are willing to go through any sort of training."


    The people all fell silent, marriages were decided by thedies of the house and males were only the face. So, thedies all began tomunicate with telepathy and after five minutes of long silence, they were given the time till the end of the ancestral examination to reach the peak of the primal soul realm.


    The gathering came to an end and You Xi Wang took the two little girls to the office, despite their cherry smiles, they both were nervous. The boy nced at them as they sat in the chairs in front of him, he said, "Nervous?"


    The two nodded, You Xi Wang smiled and said, "It is good to be nervous, it keeps you alert but do not let it overwhelm you. Understood? You are my disciples, and niece, and sister. You go ahead, if the sky fell, I will hold it for you."


    His simple words made the two girls smile and their tension eased a little. They did not know that You Xi Wang did not n to let them deal with this alone. But he would not tell them, only appear when they encounter a dangerous situation.


    The boy told them to track down the dark dweller and left the room in the name of a surprise visit to the departments. Lily and Celestia sighed at each other and ced their heads over the table. Suddenly, Celestia said, "LUCY, scan the whole world with satellites and find the man I describe to you."


    She recalled that night she met You Xi Wang in the Sahasa Town. She recalled her vow to kill the guy who destroyed her family. After she described the person called the Butcher to LUCY, the AI in the office.


    The system began to work. Lily asked, "What do you think, can this guy be found?"


    Celestia nodded, and said with a solemn expression, "I will find him by hook or by crook, this is to fulfill my words to my parents and big brother. I will not let them down at any costs."


    Lily nodded as she patted her shoulders. She said, "How about, I visit Aunt Minerva and see if there are any battle suits suitable for us?"


    Minerva was Fenny''s mom and the technology research head of thepany. Celestia nodded and Lily rushed to the R&Db to find herself some battle armor. The weapons, they did not need them.


    Celestia heard a mechanical voice, "Young Miss, the person has been located."


    The little girl did not react to the sound, she was waiting for Lily toe back so that they can check it together. She did not want to deal with this alone, because she was not sure how she will react. Despite her IQ being higher than the rest of the people. It could be imagined what sort of pressure she was going through.


    Lily came back after twenty minutes she had two suits in her hands. She said, "I got suits."


    Celestia said, "I got the target."


    Lily froze for a moment then hurriedly came beside Celestia, who was not sitting in You Xi Wang''s chair. The two girls sat in the chair together and Lily opened the details LUCY found out on the holographic screen.


    A picture was disyed with the current location and other details. Celestia said, "This ce is the abandoned graveyard. This is where the people of my old town were buried, however, after the Dark Raid, this graveyard was abandoned, as the dwellers were hiding here."


    Lily nodded and pulled up a map of the ce Celestia mentioned. Then she scanned the ce with thermal sights on the satellite and marked the points on the ground. She said, "We can leave now, ask, Uncle Robert to drive us. We can bring Maya with us."


    Celestia nodded, and said, "How do we deal?"


    Lily said, "Confinement, illusion, killing, and evil heart."


    These were not codes but the names of the arrays, they were array masters. Celestia said, "I want him to know, who killed him. We deploy spirit runes as well. As for thebination, we will deal with themter."


    Lily nodded and the two girls came out of the cabin. You Xi Wang happened to being back. He asked, "Did you find him?"


    The girls nodded and he asked again, "Do you need me to go with you?"


    The two girls wanted to nod, but Celestia bit her lip and said, "No, youing over will make us reassured and we will not learn anything."


    You Xi Wnag nodded, then he picked up both of them in his arms and he dropped them to the gate where Robert stood with a car. He kissed them on the forehead and said, "Take my dagger and knife with you, they wille in handy."


    He wanted to give them bigger weapons but they were not strong enough to use them. He took out his dagger and knife, instructed the weapon spirits with telepathy, and sat them inside the car to send them away.


    He said, "Maya, you follow them."


    Maya appeared behind him and said, "Big brother, if they fell in a situation, I will guide." She acted cold but she loved these two girls.


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Be careful of some stronger snake in the shadows." Maya nodded and got in the car. The two girls waved him bye and Robert took them to the target destination.

 Chapter 332: Maidens Revenge.

    Chapter 332: Maiden''s Revenge.


    Celestia and Lily departed with Robert and You Xi Wang followed them in the sky. The boy would just not let them go to the enemy''s den alone. Although they had Maya to guard them. He was not relieved.


    Maya was a newly transformed beast and her control was not that refined yet. The car traveled on the road for five hours before they reached the town where Celestia lived. The road they took was the same one that leads to the Sahasa town. Celestia''s town was a few miles before that.


    Robert was about to take the car inside when Celestia said, "Uncle Robert. Please stop here. We have things to do."


    Robert stopped the car and asked, "Young Miss, shall I escort you?"


    Lily said in her sweet voice, "No need, Uncle Robert. Sister Maya ising along with us. Also, do you not know, how talented we are?" the reason they called Maya sister was that she was stronger than them and they treated her like family, not a pet.


    Robert smiled and said, "Very well then, but please feel free to call me if you need to."


    You Xi Wang had already told him the situation so the man was worried. He has seen You Xi Wang grow up and he has also seen these two kids grow, but they were still too young. The three girls got down the car.


    Lily said, "Sister Maya, can you hide in the shadow? Let us deal with things and if we have any difficult situations, then only youe out."


    Maya did not like to speak much so with a not she vanished in the shadows. Celestia raised the holo phone, they had uplinked to LUCY on their devices, she said, "LUCY, the target is still in the vicinity?"


    The AI directly showed her the map of the abandoned graveyard. Celestia and Lily exchanged a nce and walked inside the town. They had marked the targets in red, while the other living were marked in yellow. The n was to approach the abandoned graveyard, unseen. It would have been difficult if the town was bustling with activity.


    Due to the presence of the Dark Dwellers, the ce was deste. The maidens walked around and avoided the presence and eyes of any human. Suddenly, Maya stopped in front of a ruined house. Lily asked, "Your home?"


    Celestia replied "Old home. Lily, I want to kill that guy, but he must die here. In front of everyone, as he did to my family. I want it to be the same." Her tone was calm but for the first time, her eyes were brimming with hatred.


    Lily patted her shoulder and said, "Hatred blinds wisdom. Open when you are calm can you imply what you think."


    Celestia took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she recalled some memories and her heart calmed down. Then they moved to the abandoned Graveyard. It took them twenty minutes to circle the town ande to the ce. They did not go inside a certain range.


    Lily said, "He might be able to sense us within two hundred meters range."


    Celestia checked the map and said, "The cemetery is five hundred meters in diameter. He is in the central part so give or take the range of detection must not exceed three hundred meters on the safer side."


    Lily nodded and said, "Spirit Rune array will need us to go close to them."


    Celestia said, "We use Level five, everchanging illusion array. Deste sword killing array. However, he must not die. The rest I do not care." her voice was calm. The intentions were controlled.


    Lily nodded and said, "I will control the killing formation, you control the illusion."


    Celestia nodded and said, "Let''s do it."


    The two little girls crouched and entered the cemetery. They had to arrange two different arrays, so they had to do it in two different ranges. Celestia was on the outer circle as they needed the bigger illusion array. She was on the four hundred meter range.


    A cultivator can easily sense movements even if they cannot pick up the spiritual movements at such a range. The two girls were trained by You Naixin in assassination techniques a long time ago? They could blend their movements with nature, breathe in sync with the blowing wind. They had no smell on their bodies. So even if the wind was to blow against their bodies their scent will not be picked up by the enemy.


    You Xi Wang was watching all this from the sky. He nodded as he saw them moving. He did spot a few loopholes but they will have to fix it up by themselves. After they finished circling around and setting up the arrays the two girls regrouped.


    They exchanged a nce then, with a nod. They began to manipte the arrays.


    ...


    The butter and his cronies were all wearing ck cloaks as they sat in the center of the cemetery. They were the leftovers of the Death Sect. They cultivated here in secret and did not dare to make much noise. The council was now hunting dark dwellers like anything. They were just a few leftovers and did not have the strength to contend against the council forces.


    So they hid here, after all, life in hiding was still life. The butcher was sitting in the center, immersed in cultivation when suddenly a booming noise woke him up.


    "YOU ALL SHALL PERISH, SINNERS."


    The butcher was awakened from his deep cultivation all of a sudden, this caused him to suffer a bacsh and vomit a mouthful of ck blood. The next moment a sword intent shed and one of the three cronies bloomed into a blood flower, as his head flew up in the sky.


    Celestia was responsible for the loud voice while Lily had timed the sword attack perfectly. The enemy did not have time to react at all. The injured butcher said, "Enemy attack. Be careful."


    His voice was very loud, but as soon as his words dropped the second goon lost his limbs.


    The loud voice sounded again, "SCUM, FEEL THE PAIN."


    The voice was so loud that it made the two dark dwellers shake. They did not know where the attack came from, they could not even react to the attack let alone sense it. The butcher was scared, and said, "Escape."


    Living was the most important thing for him. Celestia controlled the array, another sound echoed.


    "DARE TO FLEE, RATS."


    Lily controlled the array and another sword ray shed. The shnded on the back of the goon behind the Butcher. The method was so vicious that it dissected the goon diagonally from the left shoulder to the right tail bone. His upper body fell while the lower body tripped over the cut-off torso and fell to the ground with a thud.


    The Butcher did not care about anyone at the moment as he flee forward. He saw a figure shing in front of him. He changed his direction and rolled to the left on the ground. He ran for another hundred meters but none of the attacks came. He was confused but did not dare to stop. He soon came out of the illusion array as well.


    The butcher was surprised to see a little girl wearing ck and red battle armor in front of him. He used his left hand to rub his eyes, when he confirmed that the girl was actually standing in front of him, rage took over him. No matter how dumb he was, he was able to figure out that this girl was responsible for everything.


    He roared, "You little bit.."


    Before he could finish his words, his body froze, and the next moment, Celestia shed from the front of him, she appeared next to him. She took out the knife given by You Xi Wang and stabbed it in the dantian of the cloaked figure.


    The Butcher could only feel his strength seeping through his stabbed abdomen and nothing much. Lily walked out from behind him. Earlier, when she had finished killing thest goon, she had begun to condense a sealing spirit rune. Celestia was the one who bought her thest crucial second by creating the illusion of an obscure figure in front of the butcher.


    When the butcher stopped as he watched Celestia in front of him, that was when the rune wasplete and she cast it on the target from behind a tombstone. She cleverly hid before. The rune sealed all the movements of the guy, before he could figure out how to break the rune, Celestia had already stabbed his dantian making him a useless waste.


    After the sealing rune wore off the two girls had already restored their energy with a spirit rejuvenation pill. They were not strong enough to support such a bigplicated task for long. They used the element of surprise and settled it all within five minutes.


    Celestia looked at the butcher lying on the ground whimpering like an injured puppy, and said, "Sister Maya. Can you help me drag him back to my old home? Lily, call over the townfolks."


    The moment of revenge hade.

 Chapter 333: Tears Of Maiden.

    Chapter 333: Tears Of Maiden.


    Celestia walked behind Maya, who dragged the butcher to the ground, as she held his cloak leaving a shallow trail on the dusty road. The butcher knew what was going to happen to him so he did not forget to beg the little ones of mercy. Maya had no reactions to this.


    Soon, they arrived at Celestia''s old home. The house was surrounded by the people of the town. Lily had called as many elders as she can. You imagine a little girl in battle armor, with a high ponytail and bright smile on her face. Can the old people be hard on her?


    When they stood around the ruined house they did not know what was going on, until they heard a hoarse voice begging for mercy. They turned their eyes and found a little girl with silver hair was dragging a bignky cloak on the ground. How can the people of this region not know what a ck cloak meant?


    They all took a step back in fright. Lily said, "Uncles, Aunts, you do not have to be scared. This guy has been wasted. He cannot pose any threats to anyone."


    These people were almost stepping in the age, where they can be called grandpas and grandmas but this little girl called them uncle and aunt making them smile subconsciously at her cuteness. They heard what she said about the strength of the ck-cloaked guy.


    Lily said, "You all might be thinking, why have I called you here. So, let me tell you a story, a couple of years ago, the dark dwellers raided this town, they destroyed five families. The two survivors of the tragedy were, the five years old girl, who lived in this house. Any of you know her?"


    An old man said in a heavy voice, "The naughty butterfly, Celestia. Youngest of the Deigo household."


    Lily pped as she said, "Bingo and the other person was a boy of the same age, used to be her neighbor. I do not have any more clues."


    The people both old and young began to think when a sweet voice broke the silence, "Chris Nottings."


    The people looked at the voice and were surprised to see a little girl with blonde hair and emerald green eyes, donning ck battle armor with red streaks on it. She held a knife in her hand as she walked towards them with a nonchnt expression. The people were scared of her a bit. Lily came in this time, "She is usually very bubbly but today she is going to exercise the revenge for her family and that is why the ice face. You all rx."


    Celestia did not spare her without a stare. Lily just stuck out her tongue as in saying, What can you do to me?


    Maya brought the guy in front of the house and Celestia stood beside her. Butcher tried to crawl on the ground and hold Celestia''s feet to ask for mercy, but as soon as he stretched out his hands two sharp array gs pinned his hands to the ground. He screamed in pain.


    The people were scared. Lily was the one who shot the array of gs. She said in a cold tone, "Keep your hands off, otherwise, you will beg for death than for life."


    The change in her temperament was a shock to the people. Lily regained her smile and said, "Ie from the You Family of the Silica City. My master is a Nirvana rebirth realm cultivator. He lost his parents to the dark dwellers as well, so he taught us, never to go easy when fighting against the darkness. I was also affected by these dark forces as a child and it was my master, who cured me. Please, do not be afraid."


    She said all this to numb the fear the people sensed and also to give them a hint that what was going to follow this scene was even more terrible. Celestia took out array gs from her space ring and cast seals with her small hands. The gs all flew in the void to cast a circle around The Butcher. They all were stabbed in the ground.


    Celestia said, "You enjoy tormenting people, relish their miseries. You scrapped the happiness from lives, and all this for the sake of your twisted sense of pleasure. However, you never went through anything simr. Today, before you die, please experience what all the others did when you hurt them."


    As soon as her words dropped the array gs trembled and cast a dome of light. Inside the butcher squirmed on the ground like maggots. His screams soon followed. The people did not know what it was that made him wail so horribly.


    Lily said, "This is level five, devil heart array. It brings out the worst fear inside someone''s heart and makes them live through them. What he is experiencing now is a vision that he was most afraid of throughout his life. This array is used by the council to punish the most heinous of criminals."


    The people understood what was going on. They calmed down, but when they found that these kids can deal with the dark dwellers and even put them through such a punishment, they were surprised after all they looked like porcin dolls.


    The butcher screamed for ten minutes, outside Celestia''s spiritual energy was running low. Maya walked over to her side and ced her palm two inches away from her back. Then she started channeling her spirit energy inside Celestia''s body to support.


    The little girl sensed it but and did not stop. She kept on tormenting the man until his voice was almost gone. After half an hour, she took down the array and exhaled heavily. She said, "Lily, lend me your whip."


    Lily did not hesitate or ask any questions, she took out her whip and gave it to Celestia. The little girl said, "You choked me till I could not even scream, and then you whipped me, to calm your rage."


    She flicked her wrist and the whip in her hand struck out like a snake. With a <em>snap, </em>itnded on the Butcher''s back. She did not stop, she kept whipping the man till the spirit whip made its way past his ck cloak and ripped his flesh apart.


    The butcher was suffering the pain that made him wish to die. He regretted walking the dark path. Celestia was relentless. Tears formed in her eyes as she kept whipping the culprit. The people saw her crying but they could not ask her to stop. Lily wanted to go forward to ask her to stop but Maya stopped her.


    Suddenly, from the inside of the ruined house, a few lights emerged. The lights all had a strong spiritual fluctuation. The elder of the town stepped back in fear. They were all base-level cultivators, the fear was obvious. Lily took out the dagger You Xi Wang gave her and Maya formed icicles around her.


    Following the emergence of light, an ethereal voice sounded, "Celes."


    Celestia was focused on venting her rage, she did not pay attention. The ethereal voice sounded again, this time in an even softer tone.


    "Celes, my child."


    The little fairy froze in her actions and stiffly raised her head. She saw an avatar condense in front of her. The avatar was of her mom''s. Celestia asked, "How..." with disbelief written over her face.


    The avatar raised her hand and caressed her face as the woman said, "This is thest consciousness of my soul, child. After I destroyed my body, it was left in this house. Today, your emotional resonance woke me up. Otherwise, I would have slowly be a fallen soul."


    Vengeful spirits were known as fallen souls as well. They will be entities blinded by the negative emotions they had in their hearts during the time they died. Celestia did not know how to react to this. She just looked at her mother without blinking her eyes.


    Thedy spoke with a smile, "Although, I sealed the memories of that night, for some reason you recovered them and now you havepleted your revenge. You can now let it out, my child. Do not let these clogged-up emotions burden your heart. They will eventually harm you."


    Celestial began to shed tears again, even if she wanted to hold back, they would just not stop. The girl said, "Mum, do not go, please. I miss you."


    Thedy smiled and said, "As long as you have me inside your heart, I am with you, my love. Mum loves you the most. Also, your baba is alone there, do you not know how careless he is? Mum needs to take care of him, no?"


    Celestia sniffed and with squirming lips, she nodded. Thedy said, "Besides, you have a new family. Remember, Celes. The Deigo family always returns what they take. My time hase. I will watch over you, my child. Take care and be well."


    The avatar began to fade and Celestia raised her hands to get a hold of it but the spiritual avatar faded, leaving behind the little girl, who knelt on the ground and cried out loudly.

 Chapter 334: Exam Trials.

    Chapter 334: Exam Trials.


    You Xi Wang could see the little girl crying and wailing. Her cries were shattering his heart bit by bit. Celestia had avenged her family and now she must have a void in her heart. He descended to the ground. Lily was surprised to see him arrive.


    Maya whispered, "Brother Xi Wang has been following us in the skies from the moment we left the office building."


    Lily thought that You Xi Wang sent them alone to test them but she did not expect him to watch over them in secret. She realized that her uncle and master did was a coconut.


    The people of the vige were surprised to witness all the urring in front of them. They knew that to fly, one needed to be in the primal soul realm. The realm they can only imagine, this young man was already in that stage.


    ...


    You Xi Wang descended softly beside Celestia, who was crying with her eyes closed, knelt on the ground. He was not bothered by the people, he said in a soft voice, "Celes."


    His voice was at its softest, and while calling out to her, his hand caressed her back. Celestia would have attacked any other person in this state, but You Xi Wang''s touch, she recognized it. She could sense him being near her. As soon as his hand touched her back, she threw herself in his arms.


    She bawled her heart out on his chest. You Xi Wang did not speak but kept caressing her head gently as she let out all her pain and fears. Slowly, the wails turned into sobs. Celestia was tired, and You Xi Wang still stayed silent.


    He did not speak or move until he heard a soft whimper, "Big brother, what do I do now?"


    She had a goal, for which, she did not spare any effort, learned all she could, as fast as she could. However, now that goal was gone. She had left the guy to die, just like he left her to die. Her mother had left the worldpletely. She had no reason to go on all of a sudden.


    Children were all simple and kind. They lived for one goal, and when that goal was achieved they would look for something else, however, it was only possible when they knew what to look for. Celestia had no such direction in her mind. Thus, she asked him. He was the one who showed her direction at first as well.


    You Xi Wang looked at her teary face in his arms. He sighed and gently wiped her tears, he adjusted her so her chin rested on his shoulder. He said, "You want a goal right? You want a reason to live. No?"


    Celestia hummed weakly. You Xi Wang said, "Do you want to be with me, Celes?"


    Celestia hummed again, the You Xi Wang said, "Then get strong, surpass this realm and when you be strong enough, find me in the realm of gods. Then we will live there together with everyone. Find a good godly handsome to marry you off. No?"


    The little girl snorted, "Humph, I am not going to marry. Men are skirt chasers. You are one too."


    You Xi Wang chuckled and said, "Brat, your big brother is charming, understand?"


    The little girl did not say anything but asked, "What about Lily? She wille along too?"


    "Of course, you think I will leave her behind? Also, how about we go and visit, Grand parents?" said You Xi Wang.


    The girl nodded and the four people under the gazes of the people left the ce. They had just turned a corner when the Butcher''s body began to burn and the man shrieked in pain. You Xi Wang did this, he knew this scumbag was ying possum on them.


    Despite being tortured by Celestia, this guy had taken some pill hidden in his mouth to make it seem like he was dead, but can he escape the system. You Xi Wang came to the car and boarded it with the two girls. Maya had melted in his shadow.


    She did not like it outside much, yet. The car drove to the silica city cemetery. You Xi Wang held hands of the two little girls who came to the gate of the cemetery. Lily spent her credits on flowers while Celestia bought the incense sticks.


    The mood of the little girl had improved a lot on the way. They located the tombstones of You Liangxin and Chen Limao, in the block of the You Family. This area was bought by You Family, to bury their people. Lily asked, "Xixi, my papa is not here, right?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head as he replied, "We will ask your mom to bring you to him. How about?"


    Lily nodded with a faint smile. Celestia asked, "What do I do about my parents? I do not know where they might be."


    Since the old cemetery was abandoned, her parents must have been cremated by the council of metropia. You Xi Wang said, "We can ask, your grandmaster to look into it. Do not worry."


    Celestia nodded. They offered incense and prayers to the two and You Xi Wang sat there gazing at the stones. The ce was clean and no weeds were spotted. You family will arrange for someone toe here once a week in order to clean the ce.


    Celestia asked You Xi Wang as they sat on the pavement, "Why do you always sit here?"


    "I feel their presence here. It is calm and warm." replied You Xi Wang.


    Celestia did not say anything but leaned against his body. Lily was the same. The three people sat for a few minutes and when it was time for the sky to turn dark, they left. At home, You Xi Wang told everyone, how the two little ones dealt with a batch of dark dwellers and how Celestia avenged her family.


    The people praised them and showered them with love. After dinner, they were visited by Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma. They sat in the guest hall.


    You Xi Wang arrived and upon not finding Yuki he asked, "Mother-inw, you came here, for an official visit?"


    The couple was shocked to see him in front of them. They could not discern his cultivation. Ushijima Choma asked, "Xiao Wang, what is your cultivation?"


    You Xi Wang said, "I stepped in Nirvana Rebirth. Yuki did too. Did you not meet her yet?"


    The couple was surprised and shook their heads, Takeshi Kinben said, "There is an abrupt change. Before taking the people to the ancestral exam. The candidates will be weeded out. It is going to be a selection process. Anyone with a base lower than the middle of primal soul realm will not be allowed to advance."


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "You do not worry, our five families all have young generation, almost all are at the top of the primal soul realm."


    ...


    In terms of poprity, this year''s major TV stations will hold a small year concert on the day of the new year. The star lineup is veryrge. This is the ready-made heat. "


    Listening to Qianqian having settled everything, what else can Jiang Yueyue say, this Qianqian''s brain is useless on the right path, she is willing to go downhill.


    Perhaps from the beginning, she got into the trap she designed, one after another, interlocking.


    Or the ck material she made by herself was also nned by her.


    Behind her smile are all calctions and conspiracies.


    But what''s the use of thinking about it now? In the end, she lost, and all the games were lost.


    Under Chen Bo''s gaze, she gave a far-fetched smile: "The eldest sister is still smart and knows to cover up the past with topics."


    Didn''t it just rely on yourself to do a few good things? What''s so great, who is afraid of whom.


    She clenched her posterior teeth and clenched her small pink fist, secretly saying that she remembered that she would not lose the battle, and the big winner was the one whoughed at the end.


    Then she sighed again, letting herself rx, and said with emotion: Husband, I really didn''t expect that Sister Qianqian was such a selfless dedication person, who paid silently.


    I heard that filming is very hard, but the money from filming is donated to sick children, and medical institutions have developed treatment ns, which is amazing. "


    Now she has to say something nice to get rid of Chen Bo''s dissatisfaction with her.


    Chen Bo nodded: "Yes, Qianqian is worthy of everyone to learn, but you are not bad. You donated all the money you won, and you are all good."


    Leaving aside Yueyue and Mei''er, they are still very caring people because of what they do privately, so he is proud of having such a caring fiance.


    Jiang Yueyue turned her gaze to Qianqian: "Sister Qianqian, thank you for spending so many savings on sick children for so many years.


    From now on, this medical institution will be funded entirely by me, so I don''t need to fight like my elder sister. "


    Qianqian: "Thank you Sanmei for your kindness, but this little money is enough for mypany''s financial resources, and I filmed because I like the job and I don''t feel tired.


    If you also want to contribute a love to medical institutions, you can donate together, we can''t afford to conflict. "

 Chapter 335: Surprising Event.

    Chapter 335: Surprising Event.


    The five families from Silica City all sent their candidates in one airship. They allnded in the imperial sector in the evening. You Xi Wang got out of the airship wearing his battle armor. His long hair attracted a lot of attention. The people gazed at him when they got off at the port. They could not sense his aura and thought he is using a cultivation hiding technique.


    The boy was not bothered with any of it. He walked forward and the rest of the people followed, You Zhichi was behind him as well. Her elegant appearance attracted a lot of gazes as well. Some had admiration and some had lust. However, when the people spotted a level nine spirit beast behind her, they all gulped a mouthful of saliva.


    What caused the surrounding people to shiver was the entire troupe that came down the ship was wearing battle armor and they were apanied by a wolf beast, the lowest was a level seven spirit beast. It was as if an army had marched on the battlefield. The baleful aura was enough to make the people in the port sense a chill down their spines.


    Suddenly, You Xi Wang stopped in his tracks, he sensed a gaze locked on him. Turning his head he found a girl in white hair, a face that had gone missing after his visit to the lost sector. He heard You Zhichi''s voice, "Snow is now a disciple of the hidden Snow Maiden sect. Better not have any ideas about her. They are all nuns, and worship goddess Chitra."


    The familiar visage belonged to Snow Wistrom. The girl, whose father died in Edward Colt''s hands when he explored natural treasures for them. You Xi Wang walked over to Snow and thetter also walked over to his side.


    Just when they were close, Maya appeared behind Snow out of nowhere and ce her hands on her waist. Snow froze up on the spot, while You Xi Wang shook his head, "Maya, she is not the enemy."


    Maya replied, "I know brother Xi Wang, but she always gives you an indifferent gaze. I do not like it." with that said, she walked over to You Xi Wang''s side and stood behind him.


    The boy scratched the back of his head and asked, "How have you been?"


    Snow smiled faintly and said, "I have been good. You forgot me did you not?"


    You Xi Wang joined his hands and said, "I am sorry. I did not mean to."


    Snow shook her head and said, "It is fine. I also did not wait to say goodbye to you and vanished. I did not expect us to meet here."


    You Xi Wang nodded and the people began a small talk, what surprised Snow was the fact that the phantoms have changed to such a level that the normal sects of the world could just hide in shame. She told You Xi Wang that her master had an ice mutation spirit root and so did she, her master turned out to be a cultivator as strong as Animus, the mentalist.


    A lot of otherdies from the Snow Maiden sect came over and they met with You Xi Wang. They were avid believers of Goddess Chitra, it was because she was a founder of their sect. When they found that You Xi Wang had met with the goddess they asked him about how she looks.


    The boy told them her appearance and they believed him, and the phantoms became a friend of these people. Some girls wanted to ask Yuki and You Zhichi to join their sect. Yuki rejected it without thinking as she had a master, and she did not want to be a virgin. As for You Zhichi, she told them about her master and how she was now the dean of the array hall. Only then did the girls calm down.


    They all proceeded to the inside of the city and came to stand below the levitating Sky Event Square. You Xi Wang and the rest went through a normal check and let boarded the elevator. They had no worries visible on their faces. This mentality of the whole contingent of Silica City made them surprised.


    They all gathered on the tform, all those who were qualified at least. On the podium like thest time, the elders appeared after the gathering officiallymenced. You Xi Wang spotted people from his team back on the Lost Sector. Theymunicated with soul sense as they were standing too far away.


    Achilles took a step forward and said, "Silence."


    A single syble from him made everyone silent and he continued speaking, "Today, you all are gathered here to take part in the ancestral exam. However, before the exam begins, the council would like to list a few people. These few people are rewarded with the title of War God."


    His announcement sent a wave of surprise and disbelief to the people. They had never seen an event to be held for such an announcement. Achilles said, "We understand that you all might be thinking, Why the council of old men wasting time with such a thing? To answer you, I would say, the people who attained the level of War God are all from the young generation, and they can be a good inspiration for the younger ones toe."


    The people understood what he meant, after all the forces needed to be supplied with men. The council had begun to hunt down the dark dwellers. At this point, they needed more people to join in. Thus they decided to use a new approach to lure in the people.


    Achilles motioned for elder snipes to step forward. Elder Snipe was a man of few words. But he was in charge of the news and information on Metropia. He said, "Today we have three people to be awarded the title of the War God. Give them a huge round of apuse."


    The people apuded and the old man said, "The first is Aron Efron. He achieved the peak of the primal soul realm at an age of neen. He led his team to second ce in thest battle fest..."


    Elder Snipe spent five full minutes listing his achievements. The people were in awe. They could not believe for the young man on stage to be so powerful. However, they were not given a chance to question before the second person was called. This man was twenty years old and he was a part of the military.


    It took him a long time to reach this level, but since the effort of this person was somendable that the council had to call him over. This person was a survivor of the lost sector and he fought for three days straight in order to save his onlypanion who was grievously injured. You Xi Wang could not help but p for this person. The man was called, Jackob Travon.


    Elder Snipes said, "Thest but not the least. I would like to call upon the stage. The youngest War God in history. You Xi Wang. He has stepped into the first stage of the Nirvana rebirth realm at an age of eighteen. He has mastered seven weapons and all their intents.


    He is a businessman and also an avid phnthropist. he led his team to the first position in thest battle fest, he also led a team of young people in the lost sectors. They are a division that never suffered a causality and the teammates all give the credit to their leader. Please give him a huge round of apuse."


    You Xi Wang walked out of the crowd, under the respected gazes of the people. He climbed up the stage and bowed to the elders, and then to the people below. Elder Snipes The shock he had caused to the people was far greater than any of the earlier winners did. His age and cultivation realm were not in line withmon sense.


    Achilles stood among the elders on the stage and said, "Preacher, you old coot. Your disciple is going to leave you in the dust."


    Alester Book said, "You say it as if you are stronger than me? Or is any of us is exceeding the level of Nirvana. After this, I am going into seclusion."


    The rest of the elders looked at the young man in front of them and they all had an existential crisis.


    Elder Snipes said, "To have the people know what the strength of a War God is like, we will have you people spar with each other in a three-way duel. Is this okay?"


    Aaron and Jackob nodded and they nced at You Xi Wang. The boy smiled and said, "I ept, I have yet to learn the space crack travels. So no worries."


    Elder snipes nodded and said to the crowd in a sonorous tone, "The three War Gods will disy some of their strengths, I hope that your youngsters take inspiration from them and take a step forward to be hardworking."

 Chapter 336: Terrifying.

    Chapter 336: Terrifying.


    You Xi Wang, Aaron, and Jackob all agreed to the sparring match. Elder Snipes announced their consent to the public causing the whole sky event square to rock with apuse. The people were very interested in watching the three people fight.


    The square was big enough for the people to hold a sparring match with no hold bars. You Xi Wang said, "I suggest we fight in the sky. I can make up the barriers, it will be bad if the others are caught up in the follow-up. What do you both think?"


    The two people nodded in affirmation, they had no rejection of this proposal. You Xi Wang nodded and flew up in the void. The two others followed him. The maestro moved his hand and insta cast a level eight barrier array. His actions made the two people raise their guards against him, while the people below did not quite understand his action.


    Animo Albus also stood among the elders and said, "Level eight barrier array. Wang''er can not insta-cast such arrays."


    Her voice was low but it was all heard by the people in the square. The events held in the Sky Event Square were broadcast all over the Metropia. The people gasped at her words. They were not all high-level cultivators but the schools had given them all basic education of what the levels meant in grading arrays.


    You Xi Wang said, "How about we start?"


    Aaron nodded and flew away from them. Three people stood in a triangle formation. Aaron suddenly said, "How about thest one standing gets to be the leader among us?"


    Jackob was surprised but this challenge made his spirit boil. He said, "I do not mind."


    You Xi Wang smirked and said, "I thought you would never ask me this."


    The three smiled and let out a peal ofughter. How can they be the war god if their hunger for war was low? That said, Achilles flew up in the void. He stood outside the barrier and said, "On my signal, the duel will begin. Ready?"


    Jackob and Aaron took their stances, and Achilles said, "Begin."


    As soon as his words dropped Aaron and Jackob moved. The two came up with a n since You Xi Wang was in a realm higher than them and earlier he had told them about not knowing how to use the space crack techniques. So they decided to take him out first.


    How can You Xi Wang not know what was going through their brains? The boy did not take a stance when Achilles had given the signal. He was aware that he will be attacked. It took the two of them to appear behind him. One of them aimed at his neck with a sword while the other one at his heart with a spear.


    Suddenly, You Xi Wang radiated a strong intent.


    ...


    She has been waiting after the youngdy since she was a child, so she knows that she has a fianc, and she also knows that the youngdy has been looking for him.


    It''s just a huge crowd, it''s easier said than done to find someone who doesn''t know where to go.


    Unexpectedly, the emperor paid off and was found by the youngdy, how could she be unhappy.


    It seems that this is God''s will, and there is this marriage between the two.


    Qianqian nodded, and then said: "Mother Wu, it''ste, you should rest early!"


    "Should I prepare a room for Mr. Chen..." Before she could say anything, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something.


    Since the youngdy let him go to rest directly, it means that she doesn''t need to prepare the room by herself. What else does she have to say?


    "Miss, Mr. Chen, rest early, call me if you have anything!" After speaking, Madam Wu went back to her room.


    "Husband, it''s gettingte, then let''s take a rest soon!" Qianqian blushed.


    Chen Bo couldn''t help it for a long time. When I watched the TV series performed by Qianqian, Chen Bo thought that the TV series she made were very good-looking.


    I just didn''t expect that one day she would be her fiance, it felt like she was dreaming.


    Coming to Qianqian''s room, as he imagined, it was not so luxurious in the past, but it was simple and generous, and warm.


    "My wife, I''ll take a shower first, do you have a clean change of clothes here?" Chen Bo asked.


    Qianqian nodded: "I also have a men''s cloakroom here. The clothes inside are all new, and I haven''t worn it once."


    After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Chen Bo might misunderstand, and hurriedly exined: "I knew about the existence of my husband a long time ago, but I haven''t found you, but I prepared all the things in the room for you. This day finally came in handy. "


    "No need to exin, I understand!" Chen Bo covered Qianqian''s mouth.


    He didn''t want her to look so cautious in front of him.


    Qianqian stared at Chen Bo, then slowly leaned his head on Chen Bo''s shoulder.


    "Husband, do you know how hard I have been waiting for this day."


    When I know that they have found you before me, they have taken you first, and I feel that my heart is bleeding.


    Therefore, I can''t ept you a little bit. It''s not so much that I can''t ept you, but I''m afraid that you won''t like me because they are so good.


    To this day, the fire on the crew has made me understand that you are in my mind and I cannot lose you.


    I want you to know what I want, even if you reject me, I will have no regrets. "


    Chen Bo hugged Qianqian''s back tightly: "Fool, how could I reject you, you are so good, you can only reject me if you want to refuse.


    Although I can''t give you wholehearted love, as long as you are still willing to be with me, I will definitely apany you to your old age. "


    Late at night, Qianqian looked at Chen Bo, who was already asleep, with a happy smile on his face.


    She finally belongs to Chen Bo, and she will never be alone again.


    Lin Wan''s vi was like home, she stood alone on the open-air balcony on the second floor, blowing the cold wind, her mind was extremely clear.


    Qianqian will fall in love with Chen Bo, she is not surprised at all, after all, is she not so desperate to fall in love with Chen Bo?


    Although she knew that Chen Bo did not belong to her alone, she had already had such a precaution.


    But when Chen Bo and Qianqian left hand in hand, her heart still felt the same pain.


    In this world, no woman is willing to share her own man, but when she loves her to the extreme, she can ept everything about him.


    This night was extremely long.


    Looking at Qianqian who was still asleep, Chen Boqing quietly got up early.


    Qianqian was tossedst night, and he intends to make love breakfast for Qianqian himself.


    When entering the kitchen, the chef was already busy. Chen Bo said to the chef here: "I will give you a holiday today, and this kitchen can be handed over to me."


    Speaking, he found a clean apron around him, then rolled up his sleeves and opened the refrigerator to see what he could make for breakfast.


    The chef has never met Chen Bo, thinking he is here to grab his job, and immediately said: "No, I always cook three meals a day here. Thedies made by others are not used to eating."


    He bit the other word very hard, and Chen Bo remembered that the chef didn''t know his identity and was just about to exin.


    Butler Wu came in. She saw Chen Bo and blurted out: "Mr. Chen, how did you enter the kitchen? There are people doing the kitchen work. Go out and rest soon. I will call you when breakfast is ready."


    When the chef heard the housekeeper''s address to Chen Bo, his eyes widened immediately.


    Mr. Chen? When is the chef so precious, that Mr. Wu can be called Mr. "


    Is it possible that this man wanted to pursue the youngdy and came to show his courtesy?


    Just when the chef was thinking about it, Chen Bo smiled and said, "Mother Wu, you should call me by name. Mr. Chen sounds awkward."


    He likes how to feelfortable and how toe. In the past, he was used to shouting at Wan Rujia, but he was used to it.


    This is the first time I havee to Qianqian''s house, and I can correct it before Madam Wu is ustomed to shouting.


    Mother Wu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, then you should leave the kitchen, there is a lot of oily smoke here."


    Chen Bo was a little helpless. This Wu Ma didn''t seem to understand people, so let her go, just a title.


    But he didn''t n to leave the kitchen. They all came in. There was no reason to leave.

 Chapter 337: Spirit Of War God.

    Chapter 337: Spirit Of War God.


    You Xi Wang and Jackob began to fight with each other using knives and daggers. The sparks flying in the barrier gave people an illusion of the sea of fires. Achilles has been waiting for this only. The fire burning in the eyes of the two people was what he wanted the world to see. he wanted the world to know what true strength was.


    Just as he wished, the disy in the void made a lot of people feel their battle intent rising. Animo Albus said, "Calm down."


    Enticing the battle intent can raise the morale of the people but it can also make things go south easily. Battle intent can go out of control if not radiated. Animo Albus''s one word pacified the situation.


    The people calmed down and watched the duel in the sky. The two did not budge and they had already exchanged a lot of moves. A few people did not know and they began to wonder what was the reason for this stagnation.


    A rumor soon began to circte among the people. It was that You Xi Wang did not get a grip of his cultivation realmpletely. You Zhichi wanted to act but she was stopped by her master. Animo said, "Can you not rify it to them? Alester. If Master found out that his grand disciple was looked down upon in your presence, then know what will happen?"


    Alester Book woke up. He sighed and said, "Okay."


    He took a step forward and said in a sonorous voice, "You people have been misunderstanding here. So, I will now exin to you what is going on. You Xi Wang had to step into the Nirvana Rebirth. When facing the two opponents in a lower realm, he is controlling his output while using hisplete battle prowess. This thing may sound simple but the higher your realm, the harder to hold back when fighting."


    His exnation made the people gawk. They did not expect a simple misunderstanding on their side. The crowd was ashamed. You Zhichi raised her chin along with all the other You family disciples. They were holding back earlier when the people tried to nder their family master.


    Yuki and the rest were all same as well. They would have waged war at these lowly gossipers if they had it their way. You Xi Wang did not have any idea of what was going down below. He just kept fighting.


    The intent to sh was reducing from not only his de but his whole body. As he held the des in his hand, his shes began to get sharper and sharper. They were all aimed at Jackob''s vitals. The same was true for the opponent. They both were driven by their strongpetitive drive. Achilles smiled and said, "You Xi Wang, how about we exchange a hand at your best?"


    The two people inside the barrier stopped. You Xi Wang looked at Jackob and thetter said, "I wille to seek you again when I step into nirvana."


    The former nodded and said, "I will wait for it." then he turned to Achilles and said, "Elder, please guide."


    His eyes, however, were not shy, but brimming with anticipation. He wanted to fight with someone at his best and see how far can hest against the strongest war god on the. Achilles was also looking forward to fighting with the young man in front of him. You Xi Wang undid the barrier and let the two people out.


    Achilles flew closer. He was ready to attack when he heard Animo Albus speak, "Chi''er cast the level nine array."


    You Zhichi nodded and flew up. Alester Book introduced her, "This is You Xi Wang''s elder sister and also the head of the array hall. She is an Array grandmaster as well as a spirit rune master. Her cultivation is the first stage of the nirvana rebirth realm."


    The people gulped, some at You Zhichi''s appearance, some at her achievements. They did not know what has these siblings were feeding on each one more dazzling than the others. You Zhichi smiled at her brother and said, "Do not hold back."


    You Xi Wang nodded with a smile. He said, "Okay."


    You Zhichi cast the array after casting some seals with her hands. She did not stop at one but cast three more barriers. Achilles found it odd and asked, "This much is not needed."


    You Zhichi did not reply but smiled as she retreated. Alester Book mumbled, "Shit."


    Animo Albus smiled brightly and said, "BEGIN."


    Her sonorous voice made the people shift their attention to the two figures in the void. You Xi Wang suddenly took off his battle armor. Achilles asked, "What are you doing?"


    The young man replied, "Sir, these suits all restrain movement. Also, they make one lose a degree of caution. I cannot afford to be careless when fighting with you."


    Achilles nodded. He took out his sword from his space ring. You Xi Wang also took out his sword and his eyes became like ck holes. On the other side, Achilles raised an eyebrow. He was expecting this fight to be surprised but he did not expect the surprise toe at him this soon.


    You Xi Wang had removed the battle armor and exposed his torso to the enemy. He also infused his mind with the fighting spirit. As soon as Animo Albus told them to begin. The two people moved towards each other at a slow pace. They did not seem to be an urgency to fight with each other.


    However, just when the people were confused, sparks appeared in the void. The next moment You Xi Wang and Achilles appeared in multiple ces. The scene shocked the people to the limits. They never imagined such a thing to happen.


    Alester Book had an inkling in his heart but he did not expect his disciple to have grown into such a level where he can tackle Achilles head-on. The speed of the two people was so fast that they left afterimages in the cesting for a couple of seconds. Only the old people could keep up with the pace of the battle.


    The two people in the void did not care about what was going around them as they kept fighting with each other. The attacks were not held back in any manner, whether it was lethality or strength. Achilles invoked his war god ability. The reason why he could take on ten people in the same realm at the same time was this ability of his.


    He said in a muffled voice, "War Force."


    You Xi Wang took out his spear and invoked his battle spirit. He was barely holding his end against this old coot and now there were ten more of him. He did not stop at his martial spirit, he said, "War God Domain."


    With this, he could sense every single movement around him in a certain range. Achilles began to sh at him from all directions. You Xi Wang was not scared off by the attack but he weed all of them. His body seemed to have grown a pair of eyes in all and every direction. He avoided the attacks that could be avoided and parried the ones he could.


    However, now he was not defensive all the time. He took out his spear and stabbed at Achilles. The people were shocked, they could not believe what was happening in the sky.


    You Xi Wang fought with Achilles and was being pushed back and suddenly he let out a roar. His body was now covered with a golden glow and the aura was not a good one. Animo Albus and all the elders were surprised by the roar and the aura.


    You Xi Wang said, "Senior, I will not deliver my strongestbination. Please advise."


    With that said, his movements changed. He became dauntless and constantly attacked Achilles. The attacks were not normal ones but followed the root secret of the War God Sutra. The attacks from the opponent alsonded on his body but it was all skin trauma and nothing much.


    His attacks became stronger and it was getting harder for Achilles to fend off for himself. Suddenly he wanted to act but felt something restraining him. He did not notice when You Xi Wang cast an array around him while dealing with the ten clones of his.


    The array was a simple level one binding array but it blocked all his clones. It was because Achilles controlled his clones with his mind and with a second of distraction his actions came to a stop. You Xi Wang appeared next to him and then he attacked Achilles with his bare hands.


    These attacks were something nobody expected. Achilles was shocked by the madness disyed by this kid. The aura from You Xi Wang''s fist made his heart shiver. This was the true spirit of the war god. The spirit that made the people shiver.

 Chapter 338: Ancestral Exam.

    Chapter 338: Ancestral Exam.


    You Xi Wang''s attack shocked and scared even the elders. As his punchnded on Achilles''s chest the old man was made to take half a step back. You Xi Wang smirked. His expression triggered Achilles''s battle intent to the peak.


    The old man punched at You Xi Wang. But surprisingly, his punch missed. You Xi Wang moved a few inches to avoid his punch and countered. His punches did not have much force now, yet he kept on fighting. Achilles could not help but attack the young man again and again with his fists. He did not know when he gave up on his sword.


    The two were embroiled in a heated exchange, Animo Albus said, "This duel, Wang''er wins."


    The rest of the elders nodded. The reason You Xi Wang won was nothing like he defeated Achilles. On the contrary, he lost miserably, yet, what counted was the spirit of War God. It has been such a long time for Achilles to have fought anyone with his bare hands. However, this young man could set his extinguishing ambition alight like a fire.


    This was his victory. The spirit of the war god disyed by You Xi Wang was twice as much stronger than even Achilles himself. Thus he was the winner. Achilles also heard these words and did not disagree. he was aware of his loss as soon as he was drawn into You Xi Wang''s pace. The old man said, "Kid, stop. The sparring is over."


    You Xi Wang woke up and reined in his battle spirit. He took out a spirit pill from his space ring and consumed it. This time after he faced the tribtion, he realized how crucial spirit pills were for a cultivator. So, he hoarded up a space ring full of them.


    The wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to naked eyes. It was all skin trauma and nothing more. He put up his battle armor and You Zhichi undid her array. When she cast them it was fiveyers, but now she undid only two. Achilles noticed this, he realized that their battle did break through three barriers of level nine.


    He was aware that it was not his strength, but You Xi Wang. The boy had not mastered the focus application of the force in his attacks and thus the destruction. He said, "Xiao Wang, you have the most terrifying potential I have seen. I hope that you can bring your mental focus into your physical focus."


    You Xi Wang was aware of his meaning, how could he not know that his energy was high but it was all over the ce ever since he began to fight Achilles? He nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice senior." Then he came down to stand among the two contenders earlier.


    Elder Snipes smiled and spoke in a sonorous voice, "Now, people of metropia, have you seen how terrifying a War God can be? We are thankful that these brave warriors have been on our sides, and not the dark. So, would you all like to try and reach the level where these guys are?"


    The people below the raised stage yelled, "YES."


    They still had some years left. They were not the only ones, countless people of the world were yelling positively to show that they will chase the people. At You Family Mansion, Lily and Celestia were guiding the young kids their ages to get stronger. Teaching the martial arts and array science. While they were also guided by a senior member of the family.


    The two girls came into y where the kids cannot understand things. They were the smartest among the children and could easily help others solve problems. They were not watching the broadcast of the event and practicing. You Naixin came over and told them about the glory You Xi Wang earned.


    Celestia said in a loud voice, "If you all did not focus on training and kept awe-ing him. You will never surpass him. Do not live in his shadow. If you want to make him proud, then train and surpass him. That is when he will be able to walk ahead with his chin parallel to the ground."


    Lily also said, "You all should listen to what Celes said. Do not think that he wants you to watch him. He wants you to be the best that you can be and always strive to be the best. Do you understand?"


    The children were able to understand what they said and nodded. You Naixin chuckled and mumbled, "Brat, your disciples will create a lot ofpetitors for you."


    ...


    The Chen Family. Chen Qianbei sat on her chair for the master of the family and the rest of the family elders and members all stood inside the gathering hall, watching the broadcast.


    Mu Qingling muttered, "Limao, your boy, has be a star as you always said he would be." her eyes were ruddy.


    Chen Qianbei said in a cold voice, "You Xi Wang is the youngest War God. Does anyone still want to severe rtionship with them? Be my guest."


    There were people who always thought why You Xi Wang was preferred over them. This, however, came to an end today. They all watched how the boy did wonders.


    ...


    Back at the Sky Event Square.


    Alester Book addressed the people, "You all are here to participate in the exam for the blessings and teachings of your ancestors. The real exam will be held on the abode of the ancestors. Even if you all did not pass the exam, you all must take time to pray and respect your ancestors."


    The people nodded and after a description they all began to board a ship to the destination. It will take them a few months to reach the other, so, they all were asked to stay inside their rooms and practice if not needed to act.


    ...


    Xia Yunshu was actually dead when he fell from a building at the age of 13.


    But there was no return of the soul, the soul drifted to a mysterious ce, where she stayed for nearly ten years, learned a skill, and returned again on the third day of her fall.


    After 5 years of being a vegetative, she would asionally wake up, but no one knew.


    She used the time she woke up asionally to create Yutian.


    Yu Tian took on all tasks, from getting rid of enemies for others to be bodyguards for big shots, and down to helping others to do homework for juniors, starting with a fee of one million yuan.


    The Qi family was the first family in Yucheng, and the Qi family was a famous figure in Yucheng.


    After graduating from university, he took over the family business. Within a year, his name spread throughout the businessmunity, and no one knew it.


    The decisive methods of dealing with affairs are harsh, everyone respects them and stays away


    n 1983, the entrance of Hong Kong Marino Middle School campus.


    Perhaps the older generation of Hong Kong people have recognized their ancestors and returned to their hometowns on the maind to prepare for the Spring Festival. However, this generation of young Hong Kong people is not very interested in this festival, so even if it is the end of the year, the streets of Hong Kong Shang still can''t feel the festive atmosphere before the festival.


    A ck Bentley car slowly parked in front of the campus. In the car, two middle-aged men who appeared to be elderly were sitting side by side in the front row. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.


    "I remember the boss, when you were young, you liked the ostentatious ostentation, why have you changed your temper now?"


    51-year-old Song Tianyao was stained with a few strands of silver thread on his temples, and his face also showed signs of years after weathering, but his voice still sounded full of breath, at this time he wasughing and teasing another man next to him.


    The Chu family was once famous in Hong Kong. Since the death of Chu Yaozong, Chu Xiaozhong has gone to the UK to develop his career. All the mess was left on Chu Xiaoxin, the **** who was used as a post-dinner talk by Hong Kong businessmen, and Chu Xiaoxin. It seems that from that time, it really began to mature, step by step to today, has be the current president of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce.


    "Working hard by myself, I realized that it was not easy for Lao Dou and his eldest brother. I wasted the first two decades and Haocai woke up in time."


    Chu Xiaoxin''s self-deprecating smile may be due to overwork. The **** who once made the Retiro ballroom celebrities mad at him now looks older than Song Tianyao, and his voice is no longer the madness of the past, but has changed. It must be a bit hoarse.


    "Soe here half an hour earlier, just don''t want to give others a chance to polish your shoes?"


    Song Tianyao smiled, opened the window of the car, lit a cigar, and said in a sighing tone: "Being like this, the more you stand on the heights, the less you want to spend more time talking with people, because you don''t have the energy of your youth anymore."

 Chapter 339: Arrivals.

    Chapter 339: Arrivals.


    You Xi Wang called in all of his phantom troupe and have them take over the control of the ship. He asked the rest of the nirvana rebirth realm practitioners to stay ready while he went out of the ship with two other war gods inside the ship.


    Before they exited the ship they were all asked to wear a spacesuit. It was no different from their battle armors. The three people dressed up and after touching each other''s knuckles and checkingmunications they exited the ship. The ship was not a small one, but bigger than something You Xi Wang ever imagined.


    It was like five football fieldsbined together. He and the other two stood on top of the ship looking at the space filled with stars and rocks. Their suits had a maic locking system, that allowed them to walk on the metallic surface of the ship. Jackob said in thems, "So what are we looking at here?"


    Aaron sighed and said, "The meteor belt up ahead."


    You Xi Wang did not say anything but walked to the nose of the ship and looked ahead at the sea of stars. He squinted his eyes and said, "Bridge, can you tell me what is our ETA with the meteor field at current speed?"


    A voice sounded in his headset, "Commander, we have ten minutes."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "Aaron, looking at the cluster ahead, what do you think can we solve it before the ETA?"


    Aaron looked ahead and said, "They gotta be kidding. This belt is at least a kilometer long. Can you cover up this much distance with your arrays?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "Arrays cannot withstand the impact of these rocks."


    ...


    You Xi Wang''s attack shocked and scared even the elders. As his punchnded on Achilles''s chest the old man was made to take half a step back. You Xi Wang smirked. His expression triggered Achilles''s battle intent to the peak.


    The old man punched at You Xi Wang. But surprisingly, his punch missed. You Xi Wang moved a few inches to avoid his punch and countered.

    The people had no problem with this. You Xi Wang was among these people as well. He had spent himself almostpletely when fighting against the people on the spar demonstration.


    ...


    The ship traveled in the cosmos, steadily. You Xi Wang was lying inside his room with Gena and Yuki beside it. It has been three months since they had begun traveling and the two girls had embarked on their path to womanhood.


    The three of them looking at the stars scattered all over the void from a pothole. The twodies did not know what was going through You Xi Wang''s mind at the moment. As he looked at the stars, he was reminded that his old home also was lying somewhere among these ces. He wondered if his brother was still alive and if he had a family of his own.

 Chapter 340: Arrivals.

    Chapter 340: Arrivals.


    You Xi Wangmanded and the ship entered the rock belt. The pilot crew moved the ship ording to his instructions. Fenny asked, "Your tunnel will stay clear for how long?"


    You Xi Wang shook his head and said, "I cast binding array around the open space, but this thing is very fast, the faster it the greater impact, so I am not aware how long. Make the ship advance at full speed."


    Fenny nodded and said, "Good."


    ...


    Outside on the surface, Aaron and Jackob were gazing at the starboard side of the ship. That was where they were afraid of a stay meteor toe and intercept them. They were fully aware of the impact a collision can cause them. The two people were on full alert.


    As soon as the shippletely entered the meteor belt, You Xi Wang mobilized his spirit sense. He was notpletely recovered so he decided to help the people differently. He was sitting in the captain''s chair.


    He said, "Focus the spirit energy of the array''s shields on the backside of the starboard, the engine must be protected. The rest will be looked after by Phantoms and the war gods."


    You Zhichi was the highest level array grandmaster on her ship she ryed themands and none of the people objected. The arrays had awork of spirit energy that could be manipted by the array master.


    Thiswork, if congested in one point of the array could safeguard things better but it will be limited to that spot only. At this moment the engine of the ship was what they needed to safeguard most. You Xi Wang said, "Phantoms alert, you guys have lost the protection of the array boundaries. You may have to do things on your own. Can we count on you?"


    While the people who heard his words, he heard a team say, "Huu-AH."


    This team was his number of people, Neo and the rest of the phantoms. He smiled and said, "If any one of you died, then I will find a way to revive you and then kill you myself. You better not let me have that chance. You know that I do not simply just kill people."


    His voice carried a cold threat that made the phantoms on the surface of the ship shiver. Yuki said in a cold voice, "Iing."


    The people mobilized their spirit sense and found a meteor flying towards them at a high speed. Neo stepped forward, raised his halberd overhead as he held the end of the shaft. He spoke, "Aries guillotine."


    With that said the Halberd was dropped and a sh emitted from his de. The people only saw a bright light flicker and the meteor was suddenly shed into two and then slowly it crumbled away. By the time it reached the ship, the meteor was nothing more than a cloud of cosmic dust.


    The people were surprised to see such a shocking disy of strength. They had epted things to be like this but still, they were unable to digest the fact that this guy could be so capable. The whole phantom team was underestimated a lot because of You Xi Wang overshadowing them.


    Fenny was also on the surface with them and said, "This one is mine."


    She had taken out her sniper rifle long ago. She aimed, with a deep breath she squeezed the trigger. There was no sound or recoil. However, the next thing was not expected by anybody. A ray of light shot at the meteor, as soon as it hit the meteor, the whole rock as big as twenty meters in diameter was covered in a white glow and the next moment it reduced to dust.


    The two War Gods had their mouths wide open. Fenny could see their expressions, and said, "We have yet to master the fifth weapon that was why no War God title. Won''t take much to catch up with you guys."


    Aaron almost had an urge to puke a mouthful of blood. These guys were ahead of him in cultivation and this girl dared to say they will catch up to him. The ship crossed the rock belt in twenty seconds but they had never been so stressed. In the past twenty seconds, they have dealt with a lot of meteors, and the people were all covered with cold sweat.


    You Xi Wang was standing inside the bridge and asked, "ETA to the target?"


    The pilot crew member replied, "Two hours."


    The young man nodded and said, "Get inside and rest up. We have to meet the ancestors."


    The people from the surface outside all got inside and You Xi Wang handed themand of the ship back to the captain. He got back to his room as he was still replenishing his reserves. The system said, "That was a close shave, to think that these meteors can divert from the pack."


    You Xi Wang said, "It was close but within expectations. They collide and vary in mass. That is it was all expected. We still got off with no casualties. The meteors I imagined could have made our ship vanish in one impact."


    The system did not reply after all the belt was filled with millions of rocks. The people got inside and began to replenish themselves. You Xi Wang had consumed spirit pills, a dozen at a time. His body had a bigger tank than others and thus he needed to eat more as well.


    After a couple of hours, Maya came out of his shadow and said, "They are looking for you."


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes and said, "Very well."


    He stood up and after putting on his suit he left for the room. On the way, he met a lot of people who greeted him. Even though he did not know them he was known to everyone. He came to the bridge almost in time to see the ship get past the atmosphere and soon he spotted a docking bay. Covered in dust.


    He said, "You Tong, take your team and clean this thing up."


    He was afraid of something malfunctioning so he sent a team ahead. You Tong was his cousin, but here his identity was that of the family leader. You Tong did not mind and with a smile replied "Yes,mander. And the team was dispatched."


    You Zhichi said, "Why did you send them ahead?" using telepathy.


    She could tell from his face that things were not simple. You Xi Wang replied, "Nothing big but they need to clean up some beasts for us to be able tond. I have briefed sister Tong about this. Do not worry."


    You Zhichi nodded and said, "If you say so."


    ...


    Outside the ship, You Tong and the four of her teammatesnded on the ground, with their weapons ready. A boy asked, "Why did Xiao Wang send us ahead?"


    You Tong replied, "There is a group of beasts around here. He is testing us. Did you think, he wanted his family members to swipe dust here? If you guys doubted him one more time, I will kill you in the name of family rules."


    You Family never doubted Family masters. That said, You Tong took out her sword and they began to scan thendscape. They had used an escape pod from the ship toe down here first. As You Xi Wang told her in his debriefing, she found a pack of monsters here. It was a wolf colony.


    She said, "Tame these pups. They will help get around this ce." The four people nodded and they moved forward.


    They all had their spirit wolves so these they found were easy to deal with. Within five minutes, You Tong had tamed the wolves, and the alpha had surrendered after they were crushed with the spiritual power.


    The ship docked at the port and You Xi Wang led the people out. The captain of the ship said, "Sir, this port is used only when we are visiting here. Now you all have to go inside the tower, there is a stele, you drop your blood on that stele and you will be able to sense the residing ce of your ancestors. Only when you can find them will your trial begin."


    You Xi Wang nodded and turned to the people. He said, "You all heard the captain. I suggest that we all send a family master from the group to drop the blood on the stele. Also, We are all from Metropia, we share the same home. So, if we have any troubles and disputes, try not to jump the gun and solve it nicely."


    His words were not for everyone''s welfare but a threat that if anyone tried to mess up with his family, he will locate them and tear them apart piece by piece. The people agreed and then every family sent out their masters to the tower in the distance.

 Chapter 341: Locating the Ancestors.

    Chapter 341: Locating the Ancestors.


    You Xi Wang, and the few other people, who were leading their families here, walked inside a building that seemed to look like a hall. In the center of the hall, a stele was erected. This stele had a lot of names inscribed on it in red font. Since he was leading everyone, the boy took a step ahead of the pack, and everyone lined up behind him.


    He cut off his finger and a drop of his blood dropped on a hold cut below the stele. The stele shook a little and a name in red glowed brightly. You Xi Wang raised his head and read the name, "You Zhen Long."


    For some weird reason, You Xi Wang could tell where his ancestor was. He also saw a slot for medallions and took out a medallion of the Array Hall. He ced it in the slot. The stele shook again and a name glowed with a golden shine.


    You Xi Wang read the name, "Griffin Tallus."


    After he confirmed that he could sense the two directions in his mind the boy turned around. He said to the people, "I wish you all luck."


    He patted the shoulders of his friends and said it out loud, "You all have themunication jades, right? if you encounter a problem that you cannot solve, do not hesitate to call me. I will arrive in time. Understand?"


    The people all nodded. You Xi Wang hugged them all and kissed his two lovelydies in front of everyone, making them blush slightly. This also made the people give up ideas on them. He exited the hall and came to where his family members stood. He said, "Big sis, we have the location and the name. We go now?"


    You Zhichi nodded and asked, "What about Great Grand Master?"


    The young man replied, "Covered."


    The girl nodded and said, "Take out the flying swords, we move."


    Flying swords were better than the hoverboards they had. They were faster and much more stable. You Tong came forward and said, "Gougou, we have the wolves."


    You Xi Wang nced at the newly tamed wolves, they all had a shiny white coat and looked pretty harmless. He suddenly raised his eyes and said, "These little guys are all soul experts."


    The whole crowd was stunned, Tiberius concentrated his aura on the new wolves. You Xi Wang said, "Maya, ask them if they want to follow us. They will not regret."


    Maya walked out of his shadow wearing white battle armor, and spoke in a soft voice, "Follow us."


    Her two seemingly harmless words made the pack of white wolves shiver. You Xi Wang did not know what this breed of wolves was called so they were all white wolves. Maya was soft with her voice but the tone and gaze she had, was no less than a queen.


    She was the alpha of her pack, she had turned into a holy spirit beast and was now capable of a lot of things a lot of beasts could not even dream of. Her aura was of a queen when she faced the other beasts.


    The leader of the white wolves had no choice to make, so he bowed his head in surrender. You Xi Wang ced his hand over Maya''s head and said, "Do not bully them."


    He said, "You can follow us for a time and if you think we are good enough for you, then you decide. What say?"


    The white wolf was surprised, after all, their pack was just a level five beast. However, if they were to know that Maya was a level four cub and hade so far because of You Xi Wang then they would be shocked.


    The beast turned back to look at his pack and found that You Tong did not hurt them while taming, and for the survival of his pack, he nodded to You Xi Wang. The young man smiled and said, "Tiberius, you are a big guy, you will look after them and Be Nice."


    He exerted on be nice, to make sure that the wolf stayed honest. Beasts had this ego, they did not like to be nice to those of lower levels. You Zhichimunicated with Tiberius using the spiritual bond, making him honest. She was aware of the superiorityplex he had.


    The big wolf agreed and the small white wolves joined the pack. While the disciples of the You family could use beast rings to keep their spirit beasts inside, the new ones were carried by them as they rode the flying swords. The whole thing did not take too long for them to finish and they moved.


    The rest of the people also slowly began to move out and follow the direction in their minds.


    ...


    You Xi Wang and the rest of the family disciples rode the flying swords at a speed of mach two. They all rode in a wing formation for better air resistance. On the way, they plucked a few spirit fruits. This was filled with such treasures. You Xi Wang already told the people to be restrained. They only took what they needed and nothing more.


    Sometimes they even came against a strong guardian beast but they were all scared off by the aura Maya had. You Xi Wang left them half the resources. The boy was not cruel. Soon they had traveled to a distance of thousands of kilometers. He suddenly said, "We are close."


    He used his spirit sense to look for the signs of life, and slowly began to search the whole ce. The system said, "One kilometer ahead, in a cave."


    You Xi Wang nodded and moved forward slowly. It took him a few seconds, to reach the said location. He found himself standing in front of a big cave. The opening of the cave was as big as fifty meters. He spoke first, "The juniors of You Family havee to visit Ancestor Zhen Long. Are we allowed toe in?"


    You Xi Wang waited for a few seconds, but upon not receiving an answer, he did not act rashly. The whole team gathered at the ce and they were trying toe up with what to do, when the boy said, "We all go in. It has been a long time, I do not know when was thest time there was someone who met the ancestor."


    The people nodded after all they could only participate in the exam once in a lifetime. His suggestion was followed by everyone, they walked cautiously. You Xi Wang and You Zhichi were at the forefront as they walked in one step at a time.


    The cave was several kilometers deep, and it was more like a mine. Long and winding. Suddenly, they heard a shallow nging sound. They froze but the sound was uniform. The siblings exchanged a nce and walked forward. After covering a few kilometers the scene had changed.


    The dark cave was glowing with an ambery glow, the temperature was not damp but dry. You Xi Wang said, "Use your spirit energy if it bes unbearable."


    You Zhichi said to him, "Did you sense the space fluctuating?" using telepathy.


    The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. This thing is not a simple abode. It transferred us directly to the fire vein below the crust."


    They discussed a bit and walked forward, they had just taken a step when they heard a loud voice, "ARGHH, again, this fucking fire. Your father has been trying to work this out for ten years and now only do you fall short of heating it up properly. You bitch, I will extinguish you."


    You Xi Wang could not help but chuckle. His voice echoed in the cave. There was a question from the depths, "Who goes there?"


    You Xi Wang replied, "We are the juniors from You Family, here to visit our ancestor, You Zhen Long."


    The person snorted, "What ancestor, I am still only five hundred years old. The real ancestor passed away thousands of years ago. Come in, show me your face."


    You Xi Wang sighed and shrugged as he walked further. The rest followed him. After a turn, he found an old man standing with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He had a long white beard and buffed-up muscles. The person did not have a piece of cloth to cover his bare torso. His eyes were brimming with vitality.


    You Xi Wang was surprised and so were the other people. The boy mumbled, "Dao Physique?"


    They could literally sense a strong aura radiating from You Zhen Long. They did not expect this guy to be so strong at this point. You Zhen Long was also surprised, he said, "Nirvana rebirth, two at the same time and at such a young age. Even have thirty peak of the primal soul realm. The family grew up to be so big. Who is the leader of the family now?"


    None of the youngsters replied, You Zhen Long woke up and found them to be in a daze from his aura, just when he was about to retain it, You Xi Wang and You Zhichi spoke up at the same time, "Juniors have seen, Ancestor."


    You Zhen Long was again shocked. He did not expect these two to be so quick. This was a level that a lot of people could not even think of. Yet they had broken from the aura suppression. He asked again, "So, who is the leader of the family?"


    You Xi Wang stepped forward and said, "I am, Elder."

 Chapter 342: The test.

    Chapter 342: The test.


    You Xi Wang''s words made You Zhen Long surprised. He did not expect such a young kid to be the master of the family. He did not think of anything good. He asked, "What happened to your older generations?"


    He thought that something bad has happened to the family that made the juniors fight back, thus resulting in their strength. You Xi Wang replied with a calm smile, "The older generation is fine, before me, my father was the master of the family, however, some dark dwellers conspired and killed him and my mother. So, I took up his mantle. The family is now among the top forces in Metropia."


    You Zhen Long nodded and restrained his aura, making the rest of the people wake up. He said with a smile, "I see you have taken the wolves as your spirit beasts. Any special reason?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "On a training assignment, I encountered a night hound. She had given birth to extraordinary pups. So in her passing moments, she entrusted those pups to me and my team. Maya,e and greet ancestor."


    Maya came out of his shadow but stood behind him. She was scared by You Zhen Long''s intimidating aura. The old man stroked his beard and smiled. He said, "Good, holy spirit beasts. You kid have done well. Let''s go, I will take you all to rest above."


    You Zhichi was still the considerate one, "Elder, we heard your anger earlier. What do is the trouble?"


    You Zhen Long''s calmed temper raised again. He said, "This fucking earth fire vein. I have been trying to refine a sword embryo but this temperature is not strong enough to make the metals blend."


    You Xi Wang walked over to his side and found an anvil and a hammerying there. He also saw a heat harvesting array suspended from theva river, connected to a furnace. He squatted down and raising his hand and pinched at the formation. You Zhen Long did not say anything when he found this boy doing stuff.


    After a minute the guy said, "Big Sis, this is a hybrid array, do you know that blending rune?"


    You Zhichi nodded and scolded, "You brat, I told you to focus and learn that book soon. Even your disciples know those runes." she walked over and after casting a few seals a spirit rune condensed.


    You Xi Wang shrugged and said, "I will finish it before going back. Humph, you dare to look down on the maestro."


    You Zhichi red at him and the boy stuck out his tongue at her. The girl turned to You Zhen Long and said, "Elder, you can try it now, the array has been modified and it can provide better heat. Please see if it is useful."


    You Zhen Long nodded and stepped forward, he did not mind their quibble just now. He was a free-spirited person. The old man sat down on his stool and picked up the hammer. A disciple from the crowd asked, "Xiao Wang, what do you think is the weight of this hammer?"


    The boy said, "A few tonnes, maybe. I don''t know. Why do you ask, Brother El?"


    The other person was his family cousin, he said, "I do not see any spirit fluctuation on the hammer." he was a refining expert in the family. Thus he had some knowledge of what was going on.


    You Xi Wang shrugged, he did not have an inkling of what was inside a refinery. He had no interest in it. You Zhen Long did not speak but kept on beating the metallic sword embryo in front of him. The people were focusing on the old man, when they heard a soft voice, "Focus on the sword embryo."


    The people nodded and shifted their focus, they found that the hammer was falling on different spots but every time it hit the metal, it was causing some ripples on the surface. The ripples were like different liquids blending. The process gradually became longer but they all kept standing there in silence.


    You Xi Wang had already told them the level of the old man, and if they angered him that will be a sin greater than going against the family. After Nth hour the old man stopped hitting the metal and cut his palm. His actions were surprising but they were not unfamiliar.


    El mumbled, "Blood quenching."


    This was a method used to cast natal artifacts. These artifacts could reside inside the body of the cultivation, unlike the normal spirit weapons. These weapons were stronger and better. You Zhen Long''s blood fell on the de and it gave off hissing sounds. The sword seemed to be trembling more and more.


    Suddenly, the sword embryo began to change. You Zhen Long let go of the weapon from his hand and the next moment a little girl appeared in front of everyone. The old manughed out loud from happiness. He said, "Xiao Ying, I finally revived you after ten years."


    He wanted to hug the little girl but the little girl kicked him in his shinbone and said, "You worthless old man, how useless can you be to have taken ten years? You waste of cultivation. To think I took on the heavenly bolt for your sorry ass. Humph, get lost."


    You Xi Wang immediately felt the corner of his mouth twitch and he had an urge tough. You Zhichi reacted in time and covered his mouth yet his shoulders were trembling. Some other juniors were also doing the same to stop themselves. You Zhen Long coughed a little and said, "You see, Xiao Ying, this vein was not heating you properly, so I was having trouble reviving you."


    The little girl turned her face away and said, "What is with this revive? I was notpletely dead, just upset with that scratch on my elegant self and did not want to transform. Humph."


    You Zhen Long almost flipped the table in his mind and destroyed countless worlds. He said, "My little ancestor, I apologize. Please forgive my ipetence."


    Xiao Ling flicked her hair and said, "As long as you know your ce. Who made me so kind to have chosen you. Also, who are these people?"


    You Zhen Long told her about You Xi Wang and the rest, said, "This is Xiao Ying, my natal weapon spirit. She is one of the four natal swords that resided in our family. Two of them were destroyed in the battles with the dark forces. The other one was called..."


    He seemed to be trying to recall the name of the sword when El said, "Purgatory. The dark phoenix sword."


    You Zhen Long eximed, "Yes that one. This sword has always been passed down to the master of the family, however, the sword did not manifest the spirit till I was there. I wonder if it still is seeking for a master."


    The people chuckled, You Tong said, "Elder, the master of Purgatory is in front of you. He did not give you his full introduction."


    You Zhen Long was surprised he asked, "Who is it? Tell me."


    The people all gazed at You Xi Wang and said, "The master of You Family, the youngest Nirvana rebirth realm practitioner and the youngest War God in the history, You Xi Wang."


    You Tong spoke up, "Also, elder, just between us, this guy passed the Primal Soul peak and triggered a Heavenly Tribtion. The same thing happened when he stepped into the nirvana rebirth realm."


    You Zhen Long was surprised and asked, "You kid turned out to be a monster. Show me the sword."


    The young man did not hesitate and took out purgatory from his space ring and said, "Feather."


    His soft voice made the sword tremble and an ethereal figure of a woman wearing a ck hanfu appeared in front of everyone. You Zhen Long was surprised and asked, "You managed to get the spirit to manifest. This is the spirit of dark phoenix?"


    Feather raised her eyes and cast a gaze at Xiao Ying. She bowed a bit, and Xiao Ying also bowed back. This was the respect of the weapon spirits. You Zhen Long said, "Kids since you all havee here, I have a test for you. If you all can break through to the nirvana rebirth realm first stage in one month. Then, I will help you refine a natal weapon. The material will be taken out from my coffers."


    The people were excited and replied, "ALL HAIL ANCESTOR."


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "If you did not break through, you will have to train with me. I will not hold back."


    The enthusiasm died down instantly. Some cousinsined. You Zhen Long said, "Come I will arrange a feast for you all before you go to train."


    You Xi Wang said, "I will help you cook. Grandma Cotton taught me a lot of stuff."


    You Zhen Long did not know, who grandma cotton was but he nodded and the two people led the rest of the group outside the cave.

 Chapter 343: Griffin Tallus.

    Chapter 343: Griffin Tallus.


    You Xi Wang and the rest were brought out of the cave and to the top of the mountain. There was a castle that looked exactly like the mansion of the You Family back at Metropia. The juniors were surprised. You Zhen Long said, "Do not think that the ancestors did not care for the family. This mansion was left here by my predecessors. Since then any of the You family cultivators woulde up here and this will be their abode."


    The people nodded and were taken inside. Inside the decoration was all vintage but luxurious. You Zhen Long said, "Comfort is sought out after everyone."


    The juniors nodded, they spotted a lot of portraits hanging on the walls. A young girl asked, "Elder, can we take pictures of this wall? We will show it to the family when we return."


    The old man nodded with a smile. You Xi Wang asked, "Elder, who is your direct descendant?"


    The smiling eyes of the old man dimmed. He sighed and said, "I will not hide it from you. My wife could not give birth because of an injury. So I never had a child. As for her, she has already departed."


    You Xi Wang bowed in apology. The old man waved his hand and asked him to stop worrying. It was only natural for him to be curious about his family. The two people came inside the kitchen and You Zhichi followed them, the three people prepared food for the rest. They also gave the old man a few recipes they have bought from Metropia.


    You Zhen Long liked the food, and he was happy to learn something new. The meal waspleted very quickly, the people all went out to explore the new ce for a bit. You Xi Wang and You Zhichi sat inside the ce. The young man asked, "Elder, can I go and look for our great grandmaster?"


    You Zhen Long raised his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"


    "Griffin Tallus." said the celestial maiden.


    You Zhen Long''s pupil dted and he stood up with a flinch, his aura began to run rampant around the ce. The whole cave was as if it wille crumbling down. He gradually calmed down and spoke with a sigh, "Thankfully you are her great grand disciples. You go and seek her but be very careful. She is a weird one."


    The two siblings exchanged a nce and since they were given a hint about the personality of thedy, they decided to ask You Zhen Long even more about her. You Zhichi asked, "Elder, is there something wrong?"


    You Zhen Long sighed and said, "Something you say? Thisdy has been stuck in her menopause for the past two centuries. There is a guy ten kilometers away from here, he entered her domain in the south and hunted a steel fur rabbit. Thisdy seemed to be waiting for him to do that. She appeared there and demandedpensation for the damage he had done to the domain.


    You know, steel fur rabbit is as big as a tabby cat and it has steel as its fur. It tastes nd and the meat is not enough to even prepare a dish. How is can she call just robe that guy for tungstamite. Tungstamite is a precious metal that can form a holy spirit artifact. You tell me is the value the same?


    When we gather at a ce, she will hog over all the wine in the name of saving it for her disciples to arrive. You tell me what sort of bullshit is this. The bad thing is she is at a level where one thought against her can get you loaded with abhorring arrays. I was scared to invite her to fix the heating problem.


    One time she made a guy locked in a lust demon array because he passed by theke where she bathed. That old hag..."


    The more he spoke the more agitated he became. The speech did not seem to be ending anytime sooner. You Xi Wang had served him water twice in two hours. Finally, with a sigh, the old man let go of his excitement. He dismissed them as he slumped on the couch itself in the name of meditation.


    The two siblings got out of the ce and the boy let out a loud whistle. This whistle was the signal for the rest of the people around. After a minute a team of five disciples came over. You Xi Wang told them to arrange things ording to what You Tong says after they are gone, and not to provoke trouble or he will have them on the guillotine.


    The people nodded and stood guard to convey the message. You Zhichi stood on a flying sword and the boy sat in front of her with his legs crossed. The flying sword emitted a spirit energy barrier to hold his body up. He pointed forward and said, "CHARGE."


    You Zhichi shook her head with a helpless smile as the two rushed to see their great grandmaster. On the way, they came across some good spirit fruits and some exotic spirit beasts. You Xi Wang teased a little cat. The cat seemed to have taken a liking to him after he healed her hind leg and yed with him.


    After a few minutes, the two siblings stopped in front of a valley in the center of the valley their was arge tree. The reason they stopped was that You Zhichi said, "Spirit rune arrays."


    You Xi Wang nodded his head and said, "Some of them are for tickling while some are peak grade nine killing arrays. The whole valley isced with them."


    You Zhichi asked with a confused expression, "How do you know it is for tickling?"


    <em>Coughs...</em>"That is the rune, I and Celes derived from thebination of two." said the boy.


    You Zhichi twisted his ear and scolded him, "It is because of you those two little devils can do all this mischief. You know they used that on the whole array hall students. You spoil them too much, Gougou."


    Her tone was harsh. You Xi Wang held her hand without removing it from his ear and begged, "I am sorry, I swear not to do this again. O, big sis let it go. It wille off. OUUCCHHH, Chichi, my sweet chichi, my mother let go."


    You Zhichi heard him call her his mother and she let go of his ear with a sigh. She said, "Brat, mom would have spanked your ass into a tomato."


    You Xi Wang said, "A squashed one at that."


    The two looked at each other and chuckled loudly. This was their bond. You Zhichi asked, "What to do?"


    The boy replied, "Call out first?"


    The two nodded and spoke in a calm and sincere tone, "Great Grandmaster, disciples You Xi Wang(You Zhichi) are here to meet you."


    From the inside of the valley, a calm voice replied, "You guys came here, it is good. I saw you two messing around just now. You are good kids. Now, you must undo the arrays before you can see me. You have an hour."


    The two people nodded and said, "We ept."


    You Zhichi stood up in front and said, "I take the killer arrays. They are all peak nine."


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "I cannot instacast them, that is why I do not use them. Dismantling is still easy. You are not allowed to always safeguard me."


    He knew his sister will not listen to him so before she could say anything, he said, "You take left, I take right. Race to the finish. However, be careful."


    The girl smiled and nodded. The two people began to take down arrays. Their speeds had left the middle-ageddy astonished. She did not expect these two to be the peak nine-level array master and that was all that she had covered the valley with. She wanted to see if they would find this tricky and call for her help.


    However the result made her sigh and mumble, "Animus, what sort of monsters did your disciples find."


    She knew about Animo Albus and Alester Book but these two were not monsters in her eyes. The skills these two people had at the peak of their youth were too shallowpared to the two youths in front of her. She was sitting on a rocking chair below the big tree. She wore a white hanfu dress and had a book in her hand. This book was a paperback one. Her face was mature and very beautiful.


    Suddenly, she sensed a gaze locked at her. You Xi Wang was gazing at her with a smile through the array of barriers. He said, "Chichi, I won."


    You Zhichi said, "Idiot, I won, look here."


    She turned her head and saw You Zhichi walk out from behind a bush. She was about to kneel down to kowtow thedy on the chair when thedy said, "Indeed, you won, he wasted time to announce his win."


    The next second she spoke through mental sense, "You know it was intentional?"


    You Zhichi nodded with a smile. The result was a tie but You Xi Wang let her win. You Xi Wang also walked over and the two siblings kowtowed thedy. Griffin closed her book and asked with a smile, "Animus is alive?"


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Grandmaster is alive and well."

 Chapter 344: The True Mentalist.

    Chapter 344: The True Mentalist.


    You Xi Wang and You Zhichi kowtowed thedy. Griffin Tallus smiled and said in a calm voice, "Get up you two."


    The two youths stood up. The boy was surprised when he properly saw her face. Thedy smiled, "You cannot read my mind. Can you?"


    You Xi Wang did not hide and shook his head. He asked, "Why is it so, Great grandmaster?"


    Griffin Tallus smiled and said, "Firstly, you can call me grandma. What is with this mouthful great grandmaster? Secondly, the reason you cannot read my mind is that before I passed this knowledge to Animus, I developed the protection methods. As the time passed, my understanding and research on this topic had advanced to the level where I can read the spirit energy in the world."


    The siblings were shocked. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Griffin Tallus smiled and said, "I know that you are eager to learn, but before I teach you anything, you will have to catch up with all the pending work. Chi''er will have to learn mentalism, while Wang''er catches up with the spirit runes."


    You Xi Wang sighed and said, "Grandma, that subject is boring."


    Griffin Tallus smiled and said, "Then find a way to may it interesting then. Also, you naughty kid will stay down here. Chi''er wille inside the treehouse with me to learn mentalism. This ce has a flight restriction set up. So you will have to climb the spiral staircase."


    She said, pointing at the wooden staircase protruding from the side of the twenty-men thick trunk. You Xi Wang sighed and sat down on the ground. As You Zhichi followed Griffith Tallus, thetter said, "Boy, these stairs are all locked with spirit runes formations. If you can notprehend them, you will be falling, and also, the spirit runes change every ten seconds."


    You Xi Wang pursed his lips and You Zhichi said without turning back, "Do not roll on the ground. I will tell Aunt Bei if you did and see how you get teased."


    She only got a reply, "BULLIES."


    He was not interested in studying the spirit runespendium. He sat down on the rocking chair and said to the system, ''Oye, start the homework.''


    The system said, [What will you do if I did a strike?]


    You Xi Wang raised his eyebrow and said, ''You can surely try. Not like I consider you use anyhow.''


    The system would have a vein blowing from his forehead if he had any. This guy was so shameless, that he had to give in. You Xi Wang waved his hand and out came a huge book filled with spirit runes and their uses. He used the soul energy to make the book flip open.


    Then he closed his eyes. The system was speechless and with a sigh, he began to read the book.


    ...


    At the top of the tree, the trunk was emptied into a big room. Griffin Tallus lived opposite the style of You Zhen Long. Thedy asked, "Chi''er, that refining demon is your ancestor?"


    You Zhichi was confused by the nickname but still nodded. Griffin Tallus said, "Well, he is an odd one. I can never stand the sight of his noisy self. Anyways, tell me something, do you know that your brother is not your brother?"


    You Zhichi was shocked but then she nodded. Griffin Tallus asked, "I can read it all but I would like you to tell me what you feel."


    The celestial maiden smiled and said, "When my parents passed away, my brother was broken and he fell with them unable to suffer the pain. When he woke up from thea. We went straight to the graves of my parents. There he paid respect and prayed for my parents. His worship was sincere and he evoked the spirits of my parents. My mother could see through him and so could my father.


    That was when I found out that he was not my brother. However, I did not tell him because he was suffering the pain that my brother should have. Gradually, he did everything he could to make me safe, do right by our family. There was one instance when I joked with him and the guy rushed back home and banged his forehead on the floor so hard that it started bleeding and he kept begging me to not think such ideas.


    He did not even hold on to his dignity for the sake of my thoughts, yet if anyone else was in the ce, they would have to kill him or some of the family members to make him kneel. Imagine, this guy stared in the eyes of the god of destruction when he said he will kill us all so that You Xi Wang can cultivate faster, and replied, do not leave me alive or I will kill you miserably no matter what it takes.


    What else should a brother do? He is notpletely my brother but better than my brother was. I epted him as my brotherpletely, although I did not tell anyone in the family, it does not matter."


    Griffin Tallus nodded and said, "You are a big and kind-hearted girl, Chi''er. Since you have epted him after knowing his reality I will not say anything. It is good that he is the way you have said he was. Come let me guide you."


    The difficulty mentioned by Animus supposedly did not exist for these two people. Thedy taught You Zhichi all that she knew while keeping an eye on You Xi Wang. She found his soul force to be scanning the runependium page by page and did not say anything. Everyone has a different way of learning.


    You Xi Wang was sleeping and the system was working his ass off at the moment. After two days, the system said, [Yo, look at this. Your great grandmaster is so bloody genius that she ce ever changing rune on the staircase.]


    The boy woke up with a yawn and asked, "What is happening?"


    The system sighed and said, [Syncing all the data with you.]


    You Xi Wang shivered when the data was flowing in his mind. The boy said, ''You, how much data did youprehend? This should be illegal.''


    His brain was buzzing with pain. As he stood up from the rocking chair and walked forward to the staircase. He snapped his fingers as soon as he raised his foot high. As he climbed up he snapped his fingers. The thing was that he could see the spirit runes floating in front of him like they were a string of data codes on aputer screen.


    His speed did not decrease but increased. The snaps became louder as he input more counter energy in the decoding. This speed of advance shocked Griffin so much that she had to stand up ande out to see the process.


    She looked at You Xi Wang climbing steadily and sighed, "This brat has mastered the ever-changing rune. Am I the true mentalist or is he?"


    You Zhichi smiled behind her and said, "Grandma, he had half of the knowledge down already. He just became even more proficient under your urging. The guy is azy brat through and through, otherwise, his skills would have defeated the grandmasterst time only."


    Griffin was surprised and asked, "You mean, he is already on par with Animus."


    You Zhichi nodded. Griffin Tallus said, "This unfilial disciple of mine, he is being caught up by a guy wet behind his ears. I wish I could go down there and smack his teeth out."


    The celestial maiden smiled and chuckled as she said, "Let me, show you something."


    She showed her a video of Celestia and Lily shaving Animus bald. Griffin was happy and surprised. When You Zhichi told her the identity of the two girls. Thedy gave up by saying ''The younger generation is getting ahead of the elder.''

 Chapter 345: Spirit Reader.

    Chapter 345: Spirit Reader.


    You Xi Wang kept on snapping his fingers and climbed the stairs. His pace was not slow at all. Griffin Tallus saw him and sighed. After a few minutes, the boy had reached the top of the tree and saw his sister and the olddy standing there with a smile.


    He asked, "Is something wrong here?"


    Griffin Tallus shook her head and said, "You can now learn spirit energy reading."


    You Xi Wang''s eyes shed with excitement when he heard these words. The array science has also broken through the ninth level. The reason was that hisprehension of runes had evolved and helped him. He can not cast a level nine array instantly.


    ...


    Griffin sat in front of You Xi Wang and said, "The spirit energy in the world is always fluctuating. To read it you will need to concentrate on the microparticles. To do that, you need to perceive the spirit energy surroundings. It is not an easy thing. The fluctuations are even more difficult to read. What you need to do is to monitor them. Only with time and experience will you be able to perceive the changes."


    You Xi Wang was confused and asked, "Grandma, this is all that is to reading the spirit?"


    Griffin chuckled and said, "My dear boy, if you can achieve the small sess stage in this art by perceiving the movement of microparticles within a month, I will acknowledge that it was really simple. How about it? Dare to bet?"


    You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I will try my best."


    Griffin nodded. You Xi Wangter told her that he wished to wander around and explore this ce. Thedy nodded and allowed him to leave the ce but she warned him to be very careful as the ce hid a lot of things that even they did not dare to mess up with.


    You Xi Wang bid farewell to his sister and told her not to push herself too much lest she got wrinkles and ran away, leaving a helpless girl behind him. Griffin asked, "Will he be alright? You know there are things that must not be approached."


    You Zhichi said, "Nothing to worry, he is goofy at times, but his capability and caution is also top-notch. Also, he has Maya with him. She will drag him back if she needed be."


    Griffin Tallus nodded her head and began to teach the celestial maiden with care and patience.


    ...


    You Xi Wang came out of the valley. He boarded the flying sword and flew off to the south. He was going to meet his friends in the ce. An and Neo were located in the south of his location and were the closest. As he flew off in the ce, the scenery changed. The world they were staying in was called Grandium.


    The ce was filled with lush greenery but the next moment you might run into a patch of arid dry sand. The beasts here were also very diverse. The small white cat You Xi Wang met on the way to Griffing Tallus, was at least as strong as a primal soul cultivator. However, it was very docile, and at the same time, he met a bug that was only as strong as a body refiner, looked very pretty like a cicada but it was very hostile.


    The boy was very curious about this world and thus he came out to explore. The flying sword was like a skateboard under his feet. He was not moving fast but very slowly, enjoying the scenery. He was not only enjoying the scenery, but he was also perceiving the spirit energy.


    The boy was notzing around, the system was on it ever since the olddy told him what to do. The system said, [Yo, this thing is hard.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Indeed, did you think it was so easy to reach the level that of thedy? She is in the Dao formation realm. We are three MEGA realms behind her."


    The system nodded and said, [Well, let me try. The spirit energy here is quite dense. That is also the reason.]


    You Xi Wang nodded, ''Indeed, we could have done it easily back at Metropia. Oh, this is nice. How about I cast a spirit dispelling formation and then it will be easier toprehend the spiritual energy because of low density. Slowly as the perception deepens the density can be increased.''


    The system expressed his opinion, [Sounds good. But where will you like to practice?]


    You Xi Wang thought about it and said, "We can do it after we meet Neo."


    The flying sword picked up the pace and the young man moved to the


    ...


    After the contract had been signed, William took everyone that was part of his Team inside the conference room that was under the Head Prefect''s management. As the leader of a newly formed organization, there were some important things that he needed to discuss with them.


    "I''m sure that most of you are curious as to why I decided to form an organization within the academy," William said. "Unfortunately, I can''t tell you the details yet because it is something that concerns the Kingdom''s security."


    The expressions of the students suddenly became serious as they listened to William''s exnation.


    "All I can tell you is that I intend to create an elite unit that will be able to cope with any kind of situation, regardless of what it is," William exined. "Of course, in order to make that happen, each and every member must reach a certain level of proficiency and perfect their teamwork.


    "There''s also the problem of the weapons and equipment that you will use whenever we go out on missions. All of this requires money and resources and, to be perfectly honest, I don''t have these resources."


    Spencer coughed lightly when William came out clean. He had already known that the Ainsworths were not that well-off when it came to money. Even their main residence in Lont couldn''tpare to what they had in their Duchy.


    "Sir William, you already know that making an organization requires funding," Priscimented. "If you don''t have the resources then why make one in the first ce?"


    "That''s because, I am confident that we can make things work out if all of us work together." William grinned. Although he didn''t have money and resources right now, there were many ways to get them.


    As someone that had apanied Ezio for half a year wandering the Hen Kingdom, William had seen the darkness and filth of humanity. He nned to use his knowledge in order to gain the funds needed for his private army.


    "First things first, I want all of you to have a mount," William continued his exnation. "This way, we can travel anywhere in a moment''s notice."


    "What would you guys like to have as a mount? At the very least, the mount should be a ss C Beast." The red-headed boy ignored his officers and stared at the regr students in his organization. "If you have any rmendations, feel free to tell me."


    "M-Mount?" one of the students'' eyes widened in surprise. "You''re going to give us mounts? For free?"


    The one who spoke was amoner and he was eighteen years old when he passed the entrance exam. He followed William because he felt that he had nothing to lose by bing his direct subordinate. Never in his dreams did he think that the first thing that his Head Prefect would ask was what kind of mount they wanted.


    "For free? Yes." William nodded. "However, whether you can tame them or not will depend on your ability."


    William nced at his officers with a grin. "I know that all of you are very capable, and you can secure a mount of your own. However, if you need help in acquiring one, just tell me, maybe I can help. Just take note that the limit is a ss C Beast. It can''t go higher than that."


    The students got really excited and started to discuss what kind of Beast would be ideal for them.


    William watched this scene as he sat leisurely in his chair. What he didn''t know was that inside the Dean''s Office, Simon, the current Dean of the Hen Academy was rubbing his temples due to the letter that had just arrived a few minutes ago.


    Noah had informed Simon that the Kingdom was about to recognize a new Knight Order that would be called the "Angorian War Sovereign", or AWS for short.


    He was tasked to prepare for a short ceremony within the academy grounds for this new order to be recognized by the entire student body.


    "Celine, your disciple will be the death of me," Simon sighed as he put the letter aside and looked at the ceiling. "Just what in the world is happening?"


    This was the first time that a First Year Student would be the head of an organization that would be given the same rank as the Knight Order of the Hen Kingdom. This was not a simple thing to do because this would basically give William the rank of a General in times of War.

 Chapter 346: Brutal.

    Chapter 346: Brutal.


    As soon as You Xi Wang uttered, "The war god''s brawl." his temperament changed. He did not be a rampant beast but a precise fighting machine. His blows became swifter andpact. Every blow had such strength that the Ancestor of the Paul family was sensing a shudder in his heart.


    The old man was aware that he could not bring out such force with his attacks until he increased his output, that was something he could not achieve without biting back on his words to fight with You Xi Wang on the same level. He was feeling troubled as the fists of the boy had begun to surpass his capabilities.


    You Xi Wang did not think of anything else, his mind was focused on only one thing and that was how to break through this old man''s attacking defense and beat the shit out of this cocky old relic. His war god sutra was based on fighting and analyzing the loopholes and breaking through them. His seemingly reckless barrage was a mix of probing and fatal blows.


    As he fought the strategy began to show results. It has been five seconds since he had been attacking the ancestor of the Paul family with his tactics. Suddenly he bypassed the iing fist and his punch connected with the head of the old man.


    <em>BANG!</em>


    <em></em>The old man was confused and he did not expect to be punched in the head. His own punch hadnded on You Xi Wang''s rib, however, the boy was using the war god tactics and the system had manipted his muscles to distribute the impact all over the body, letting him escape a serious rib fracture.


    You Xi Wang charged forward at the old man. He did not believe in giving his opponents a second chance. The old man was not having himself moping the floor, so he took out a shield from his space ring. The young man sneered and took out a handful of mini bombs. He threw the bombs over to the old man and took a flickered away.


    The ancestor of the Paul Family was expecting an impact from his shield, however, what came to greet him was a chain of multiple impacts and all from random directions. The shield in his hand was a spirit weapon and prevented him from the chain bombing around him by invoking a barrier around him.


    The old man cursed, "This brat."


    However, the next moment, his hair stood on their ends and his instincts screamed.


    <em>BOOM</em>


    <em></em>You Xi Wang told out the heavenly tribtion cannon and shot the first round at the old man with no hesitation. The old man could not hold back anymore and unleashed his true cultivation base. The beam of highly concentrated spirit energy collided with him. The impact made him take two steps back. Yes, just two steps.


    However, the people watching from the shadows did not expect such a thing. The impact that could let the Dao Formation cultivator retreat by two steps. You Xi Wang asked, "Elder, I should not ask you this but do you concede?"


    The old man snorted, he was enraged at this defeat. You XI Wang said, "Okay, your choice."


    With that said, he channeled his energy in the cannon and shot four rounds at the old man. The energy concentration in the shots was enough to make the old man gulp a mouthful.


    <em>BANG BANG BANG BANG</em>


    <em></em>The bangs became louder as they followed. The ancestors of the other families were surprised.


    ...


    Fenny was standing beside a lean old man and asked, "Elder, what are you thinking."


    The old man smiled at her and gave him a brief exnation. Fenny chuckled and said, "Baby Wang is just like that. Be d that he has yet to cast his array and spirit runes. Also, that cannon can shoot up to nine attacks."


    The old man was shocked. He asked her a few things about You Xi Wang, the more he discovered the more he was surprised. He was not the only one going through this. The young people from Metropia all had gathered some information from their sources when they were back at Metropia.


    The old people all smiled as they heard the news. Life on Grandium got interesting as this batch of youngsters arrived and they all began to brew ideas in their minds, about how to spice things up.


    ...


    You Xi Wang peeked from behind the cannon and looked at a haggard old man standing in front of him. The old man was not wounded but his breathing was irregr. He was also gazing at You Xi Wang. The young man said, "I still have a few cards left elder. Should we keep going on?"


    The ancestor of the Paul family said begrudgingly, "You win, brat. Humph, go away I will tell Neo to visit your ceter."


    You Xi Wang smiled and waved at the old man before storing the cannon back in his space ring and boarding his flying sword. He decided to go back to his family''s territory. You Zhen Long at the moment wasughing loudly, making the whole mansion shake.


    The juniors asked and the old man told them, he wanted to see how surprised they will be, however, he was destined to be disappointed. You Tong chuckled and said, "Elder, If I told you that Xiao Wang gazed in the eyes of the god of destruction and threatened him to not leave him alive if he did anything to anyone in the family or he will eventually kill him. Do you believe it?"


    You Zhen Long gulp, he thought the kids were bragging so he asked, "What was the name of this god of destruction?"


    You Tong replied, "His excellency is known by the name, Rudra."


    You Zhen Long sat down on his chair with a thud and eyes wide open. He mumbled, "Does he have a death wish? What if that god really destroyed the family?"


    You Tong shook her head and said, "The goddess of creation stood at Xiao Wang''s side."


    You Zhen Long ced his hand on his chest and said, "You guys go back to practice. You only have a limited time left."


    While he was dealing with his shock, You Zhichi was milking her benefits from the bet. She was having Griffin Tallus return everything she had hogged from You Zhen Long over time. The olddy could not believe it when You Xi Wang took out the cannon and delivered five shots at the opponent.


    He won fairly, he only took out weapons when the old guy took out his spirit shield. She mumbled, "You two siblings..." as she sighed.


    You Zhichi smiled as she brutally took back the treasures of her family elder.


    ...


    You Xi Wang flew back to the mountain where You Zhen Long resided and he asked the old man if he can take the cave for his practice. The old man agreed as he did not have anything to refine for the time being.


    He did not know what the effect of his brutal thrashing on the old man was. Even if he knew he would not care about it.

 Chapter 347: Sprint.

    Chapter 347: Sprint.


    You Xi Wang sat inside the cavern. At this moment, his body was levitating over theva river flowing inside the cave. He had isted himself from the world by casting level nine istion barrier arrays. He had also cast a rune array to dispel the spirit energy inside the barrier.


    However to make it so that the energy is notpletely dispelled he had cast a level one spirit gathering array at the four directions around himself. This way the energy will be constantly cycling in and out of the barrier at a very low rate. This rate was what he needed to perceive the particle''s movements.


    The system said, [Master, this setup is truly a genius idea to study the movements in the spirit particles.]


    You Xi Wang said, "This is something we need to do together, the level of soul energy and concentration needed to perceive the particles is not something we have. The tribtions Grandma Griffin has faced throughout her life are what made her soul grow o such a terrifying level. She had already seen through the fact that I am not the native soul of this world."


    The system was surprised and asked, [How do you know that?]


    You Xi Wang sighed as he replied, "Big sis thought about it when I climbed over the tree stairs. I read her mind. Grandma confronted her, however, is dealt with it. She told me not to worry."


    The system sighed and said, [What if she also sensed me? Though our spirit fluctuations are identical. What if she saw through the ovepping technique?]


    You Xi Wang shook his head, "This is not possible, our spirit fluctuation is in perfect sync. The only way she could have read it was when I was resting and you were reading the runependium. However, I did not give off full control and leaked some of my soul energy on my own as well. That masked your presence."


    The system asked, [You were only responsible for turning the pages while Iprehended the knowledge. The energy controlled by me was focused only on the content of the page and you controlled the book''s surface, you masked it?]


    The system was surprised because it did not expect You Xi Wang to use such a simple method to deceive the spirit reader. It was like a painting within the painting. being merged with each other yet still different. He nodded at the clever method the master used.


    You Xi Wang said, "Let us begin, I only have twenty-nine days left to win this challenge. Also, I need to manipte the spirit energy inside to heal the cracks in the bones. That old man paul was sure a hard stone."


    During the battle earlier he had been suffering and had numerous cracks in his skeletal structure. Even when he was the one attacking, he received damage. It was all because the physical fitness of the old man was something that could not be suppressed. The level was so high that if Old Man Paul was to die, his body will not degenerate for centuries.


    ...


    The system began to focus on the spirit energy around it and slowly to deeper the level of focus to perceive the energy on a microscopic level. The young man meanwhile healed all the wounds in his skeletal structure, his arms were almost useless if not for his holy spirit body.


    While he was cultivating in seclusion, You Zhichi was also learning the tricks from the spirit reader herself. The rest of the people also did not hold back and made a full spurt toplete the exams. You Zhen Long were the nice guys who made the exam to be a constructive process. The rest were not so kind.


    The sword demon of the Ushijima n had set the task to walk through the cavern filled with the sword intent he had left and this was a process of self-harm. A few of the people had already given up by the end of day one. Yuki on the other hand could only stand at the entrance trying toprehend the intent and counter it.


    She did not wish toprehend it to learn this intent. She had been a stubborndy and had her own way of the sword. This resolve had made here so far she will not give up now or ever. You Xi Wang was the goal she had set for herself. She did not wish to catch up to him but to surpass him. He rose from nothing to what he became today on his own. She wanted to do the same. This was her way of showing him her love.


    She would have cursed You Xi Wang if she knew about the system inside his body. Anyways, the trials continued and the people all gained in some form. The Ushijima disciples who had given up were inspired by Yuki and decided to sincerely face the intent left by the ancestor to grow stronger.


    Gena and the rest were also moving forward slowly but surely. The ancestors were helping them hone the skills they allcked. This was a period where they all will shed their cocoon and grow into a butterfly.


    ...


    It was the fifteenth day when You Xi Wang was able to perceive the particles of the spirit energy. However, he did not growcent and kept on focusing on the task at hand and the particles in his perception began to grow subsequently.


    His motive was still far from being achieved, he wanted to grow as much as possible in the period of the leftover days. Slowly the spirit energy in his perception became from a sparse particle to a cluster. he was aware that he had spent seven more days to reach this level.


    The system said, [I need to slow down, this is our current output. Pushing it further will be harming the soul. What do you wish to do?"


    You Xi Wang did not reply as he was thinking about this topic as well. His brain had already sensed the limit of his current self. The young man said, "Overhaul the soul."


    The system rejected his suggestion immediately, "Do you even hear to what you are saying. Overhauling the soul means me merging with your soul, do you know what it will do to you? The tribtion you will face will grow thrice stronger"


    You Xi Wang said, "Just do what you are told to. We are going to break through the second step of the nirvana rebirth and the third step in one go, I do not care about anything. I will be able to do it."


    The second step of the Nirvana Rebirth realm needed him to recast his bones and the third part was to recast his organs. He intended to merge the system with his soul at the moment when the second step is sessfully broken through. Then he would continue the third step while facing the tribtion. Harnessing the energy from the heavenly lightning hitting his body.


    This sounded like a suicide n, but his body needed a lot of energy that could not be replenished by just a handful of level nine spirit arrays and elixirs. His n was to use the strongest and the purest form of spirit energy, the heavenly lightning to cast his organs on the spot. This process can live him in a vegetable state but he was willing to take the risk.


    The cultivation of the Nirvana rebirth realm needed one to take long breaks before they could charge at the next step because the body needed to be in sync with the other parts. To You Xi Wang this sync was achieved when he fought against the old ancestor of the paul family.


    The boy told hismand to the system and said, "Maya, go inform big sister. I need to be guarded and you are to stay outside the cavern as well."


    Maya appeared to be sitting in meditation at the edge of theva river. She did not like the heat here. She knew that there was no stopping herpanion now so she said, "Big brother, be careful and do not begin till Ie back, okay?"


    You Xi Wang agreed to her through the spirit link. He was not yetpletely ready to start his rush. After Maya left, the first thing he did was to cast ayer uponyer of the level nine spirit gathering arrays to gather as much spirit energy as he can. All the elixirs he had taken from the home were taken out and floating around him.


    These resources were given to him by the family and his master and grandmaster. Soon You Zhichi arrived with Griffin Tallus. The olddy gazed at him and did not say anything. She turned her head back at the entrance of the cave and said, "YOU ZHEN LONG. OLD RELIC GET YOUR ASS HERE."


    Her voice echoed in the cave. The old man flickered and arrived in front of them. He replied, "What are you yelling for? This brat will not listen to me. I have been talking to him for the past few minutes. He had already decided to do it. Then let him do it. You Xi Wang, if you did not make it out in one piece, I will have you removed from the family tree as well. Along with your sister and parents. You family does not need maniacs who cannot keep their word."


    You Zhichi was surprised but she heard a cold voice, "Old man, I will have you growl in the same realm when I am done here for this sentence of yours. You just wait."


    The girl sighed and said, "Get done soon. I will check on the others."


    You Xi Wang nodded gently and sat down in the void to start his spirnt.

 Chapter 348: Legend.

    Chapter 348: Legend.


    You Xi Wang sat in the void and began his cultivation. While outside the cave You Zhichi cast a few more level-nine istion arrays. You Zhen Long asked, "Chi''er what are you doing? Did he not cast a barrier already?"


    Griffin Tallus said, "What do you understand? The people here can all see through amon barrier. She just wants him to be safe."


    You Zhichi shook her head and said, "I just do not want to hear his screams. I am making sure of that only."


    The two people were surprised and nodded. The process of re-casting your bones was not something that could be passed through without making a sound. You Zhen Long asked Griffin Tallus through telepathicmunication, "What do you think are his chances?"


    Thedy replied calmly, "He is a strong child but I have never seen anyone crossing two major Nirvana realms in one go and what is even more ridiculous is how he ns to use the energy of the heavenly lightning. He is underestimating the reconstruction process, however, even if we tell him he will not stop. I just hope he has all the things nned for."


    You Zhen Long nodded. He cast a gaze upon the girl in front of him who was casting barriers upon barriers, trying to cover up her worries with a calm expression on her face. The truth was that You Zhichi had mastered the art of muting her emotions. She would switch them off every time her brother was in a plight.


    The old man sighed and shook his head. He mumbled, "Reminds me of the legend I heard back in my childhood."


    You Zhichi asked, "What legend, grandpa?"


    She called him grandpa subconsciously. She did not realize that the man smiled as he heard this address, he replied, "The legend of our family martial spirit."


    You Zhichi snapped out of her daze and she asked him, "Can you tell me about it, grandpa?"


    The old man nodded and said, "Come, we take a sit first."


    Griffin Tallus was also interested and sat followed the two of them. You Zhen Long had them sit in the main hall of the mansion and said as he stared at the wall, "I was a child, I do not remember the age I was. However, what I heard from my great grandfather, made me what I am today.


    The spirit of the war god, the perfect spirit to go to war with, was not an innate blessing of the family but it was forged. The founder of the family saw that a lot of people all over the world were blessed with martial spirits. He was very strong when he was alive, however, theck of a martial spirit made himg behind a bit.


    This feeling of just an inch away from being called an elite annoyed him. So he set out of the family with a few of his people, they traveled all over the world and fought with all the dark dwellers. As their strength grew, it also created a name for them among the elites. He began to interact with people and slowly gathered information about everything was rted to martial spirits.


    One time during his travels, he saw a dark dweller take out a martial spirit. This spirit surprised him because martial spirits can never be used by the dark dwellers. He managed to capture that dark dweller and subdued him. Then he began to interrogate him about the spirit.


    The dark dweller answered him that a martial spirit is a belief as long as the belief was strong anyone can have a martial spirit."


    Griffin Tallus said, "Are you probably trying to say that a martial spirit is based on a belief? Are you trying to fool us, if that was true would the whole world not have awakened it?" she snorted.


    You Zhen Long said, "You should not listen if you do not have patience."


    Griffin Tallus wanted to retort but she stopped herself. The old man continued, "The news the founder got from the dark dweller was nothing but for naught. He was aware that everyone in the world would believe that they were the strongest and once they meet someone stronger, which is inevitable, their fickle belief will shatter. This will break the path of their cultivation as well.


    His search came to a point of stagnation, and then a war between the light and dark erupted. He was called over by the council and the man joined the war. It was said that on the battlefield, he was like a god. He would kill all his enemies and protect those on his side. His sword was the bane of his enemies and his strong back was the boon of his allies.


    He rallied the people with his unrelenting spirit, his wisdom, and his simplicity. After the first half of the war, people had begun to call him, The god of war. This achievement made him happy but at the same time, stabbed deeper in his heart. As the founder of the family, he did not know how his sessors will carry on.


    The old family that exiled the founder had suffered great losses in the war and thus came over to take control of the You family. The founder was enraged and picking p his sword he fought with the intruders. After a ten-day-long battle, he emerged victorious, stained with blood and wounds all over his body.


    The family that exiled him had the name of Wu, the character for war. That person was thest of the family, just before our old man was to y him, the martial spirit in the victim''s body erupted.


    Martial spirits are an existence none can describe. The spirit had a conversation with the founder, asking him to spare his host. The founder then proposed a condition, the condition was to bless our family with a martial spirit.


    The spirit did not agree but said that with the wounds umted over his lifetime, the old man will not suffer, so the spirit gave him a choice, either he could live longer, or he could make an audience with the spirit king."


    Griffin Tallus stood up on her feet and asked, "The spirit king? The god of spirits in the mortal realm?"


    You Zhen Long nodded, "Yes."


    The Spirit King was an existence that none could perceive. It was said that destroying the world was as easy as snapping its fingers. However, spirits needed hosts to live through, thus the cooperation.


    You Zhen Long continued. "The founder choose thetter and had an audience. He said to the spirit king that he has spent his lifetime fighting wars. The spirit is an omnipotent existence they said, he nodded when the old man said this. The next thing the old man asked was. I wish to be a spirit."


    Griffin Talus did not say anything but the look of disbelief on her face was enough to say it all. You Zhichi was the same. You Zhen Long said, "The spirit king agreed and asked the founder to choose a host and the old man took his unborn grandson. The third generation of the family woke up the spirit of the war god and then they left behind the records to help the future generations.


    Once a spirit chooses a host, the spirit will move forward to the others in the family, however, it will never be conscious until it is thest member of the family."


    You Zhen Long had a high sense of admiration in his eyes as he recited the legend. You Zhichi did not know what to say but her fist was clenched from the excitement, while her hair stood up from the shivers.


    Griffin Tallus said, "Indeed a god, your founder was. Why did you say that Xiao Wang reminds you of him?"


    You Zhen Long smiled and said, "The founder is said to have jumped through the Nirvana rebirth two stages at once."


    The two people were shocked. They woke up when they heard a grunt in their ears, that voice belonged to You Xi Wang as he was recasting his bones below.

 Chapter 349: Awakened.

    Chapter 349: Awakened.


    You Xi Wang was flying in the void and he did not have any other thought in his mind but pain and only pain. He wished to end his life. His bones were being re-cast at the moment. It was not simple fracturing them, but it was evaporating them, and leaving ayer of spirit energy instead to support the body.


    The bones inside a human body were not only to allow the human to move forward but it was also to bear the pressure cast on the bones of the people. You Xi Wang was being mutted on the inside and he wanted to curse but if he cursed at the beginning how would he take on the rest of the process? Thus, he decided to keep his mouth shut.


    The system inside him sighed and said, "Damn, this guy. Why did you have to run ahead so fast? Biting off more than we can chew. Do you not understand that if you failed, then TADA, the end. You will be a mound of ashes, and that too if the lightning did note down with hatred towards you."


    You Xi Wang had his hands full with the pain at the moment, he could not care less about the ranting entity inside him. His jaw was the first thing that he had selected to remove from his body. The reason was that he did not want to bite off his tongue and kill himself if the pain exceeded his limits. The next targetted bones were the joints in his shoulders and arms.


    What if he decided to tear off his head in desperation? Thus the joints were removed. The bones of the human body despite being tempered with constant cultivation will be contaminated and this contamination could only be removed after burning and evaporating the bones with spirit energy.


    You Xi Wang was very fortunate that he had a system to aid him, to perform the smelting, other people all went through this agony by themselves. You Xi Wang did on the other hand just had to tolerate the pain and he will be alright. It was like flying a ne with an autopilot supported by artificial intelligence.


    After the joints were removed, the bigger bones were targeted by the system. The process needed the system to inject the spirit energy inside the body directly inside the bone structure and break it down on a cellr level. Then the spirit energy will burn it all up and remove them from the body in the form of bad gases.


    It may sound simple but the amount of pain was not something a mortal can even imagine. It was said that the pain a pregnant woman suffers when she gives birth is enough to break the bones inside the whole body twice over. However, that was just an estimate, the reality of that pain could only be expressed by the bearer.


    You Xi Wang could have set the whole Schmidt pain index to fire, the agony he was going through was ultimately making him wish for death. He did not want to live, through such pain. The system did not re-cast his removed bones as soon as the old ones were removed. The system wanted to cast them all at once.


    Yes, casting the bones all at once will be more painful but it will be a good tempering agent for the young man. The system could not feel pain until it is implicated in the soul of You Xi Wang. After all the system was just a part of the soul that had gained consciousness. The lightning strike they needed toplete the second step of their n, to re-cast the organs was not going to be acquired if they followed the traditional manner.


    You Xi Wang made a noise from his mouth, it was a very helpless situation for him. The painsted for twenty minutes before the system finished taking down all the bones. All that was left to be done now was nothing else but removing his skull.


    How was he to do that? That was the question. One misstep and his soul sea will copse and with that, he will perish inside the cave, without even needing to face the lightning strike. The system concentrated and began to slowly evaporate the skeleton. The process was painful and the system had no time to care for You Xi Wang''s pain at the moment. It took him five minutes to remove the skullpletely.


    Then without taking a break it began to manipte all the umted spirit energy from the outside began to flood inside You Xi Wang''s body. The energy waspressed at one point and then it will slowly be manipted to re-cast the whole skeleton.


    The point started to re-cast the skeleton was none other than the skull itself. The system did not n to re-cast the skeleton withyers. It aimed topress the spirit energy into its purest form to make new bones.


    Everything is made up of spiritual energy and they all had specificposition forms. They made You Xi Wang''s flesh using such a form, so it was time to do the math and find the attributable form of bones.


    The process was slow and wouldst for at least a week. You Xi Wang had already lost sentience in his consciousness. At this moment, his consciousness was floating inside his soul sea and drifting around in the vast space.


    The soul sea was not only a representation of his soul force but also contained something that was an inseparable part of his being, his martial spirit. The boy did not know about how long as he had been unconscious. Suddenly, he sensed a firm grip on his shoulders and a deep voice in his mind.


    "Wake up, child."


    The voice did not contain any malice but it was very soothing and calming. As if an angel talking to a child. You Xi Wang did not know from where he found the energy, but his eyes flew open. He found himself inside the soul sea and then he saw a man.


    The man had long hair ck and white traditional hanfu. A handsome face paired with a gentle gaze. You Xi Wang asked, "Sir, who are you? Why can you enter my soul sea?"


    The man smiled and said, "I do not know, how can I wake up here? However, as for who I am, My name is You Daoxin."


    You Xi Wang tried to recall the name and after a few seconds, he was stunned in a daze. Then he suddenly knelt in the void and said, "I have seen, the founder."


    He had the knowledge of the family''s martial spirit and knew exactly who this person in front of him was. He knelt to show his respect to him. You Daoxin smiled and said, "Raise your head, child."


    You Xi Wang raised his head but he did not stand up, the former spoke up, "You have done well toe so far. I have seen your memories. I am very happy that you are a member of my family."


    You Xi Wang said, "It is my family as well, elder."


    You Daoxin nodded and said, "Indeed,e let me tell you some secrets of the martial spirit inside you."

 Chapter 350: True Spirit.

    Chapter 350: True Spirit.


    You Daoxin beckoned You Xi Wang over to his side. The man waved his hand and the spirit energy inside the soul sea transformed into a set of chairs and table. The man smiled and said, "I will be borrowing these. Do not worry, my presence will cease to exist in a few minutes."


    You Xi Wang sat down on a chair opposite the man and asked, "Senior, what do you mean by ceasing to exist?"


    The man replied, "Until someone else, also, awakens the martial spirit and climbs to the second stage of the Nirvana rebirth realm, I will not appear. My presence dwells within the seed of the martial spirit. So, I have only limited time and consciousness."


    You Xi Wang nodded in understanding. However, he still found it a bit unfathomable how the founder of the n woke up inside his soul sea. You Daoxin said, "You, young man, have quite a few achievements under your belt."


    The boy smiled and shook his head as he said, "You praise me wantonly, senior."


    You Daoxin nodded and said, "The matters of your soul, I do not understand them but I find you have no malice for the family and neither do you have any bad motives. Thus, I will allow you to live."


    You Xi Wang nodded, he was sort of expecting this to happen since the person could control the spirit energy inside his soul sea. This much was easy detection for him. You Daoxin said, "I want to tell you that the martial spirit is not just a mere tool to augment your fighting capacity."


    He took a pause and continued, "The martial spirit also cultivates with you. It will grow along with the practitioner. The moment you step into the Dao Formation realm, your spirit willprehend a dao seed. This seed will merge with the Dao youprehend on your own. At this moment this Martial spirit will be True spirit.


    From the moment the two seeds merge, you will not have to call upon your martial spirit, it will be a permanent augmentation, merging with your body. Your cultivation realm will not be higher but it will be twice stronger than the rest in the same realm."


    You Xi Wang was shocked, he wanted to ask more when You Daoxin raised his hand to stop him. The man said, "This boon does note without a bane. If you ever lost control of your emotions. For example, experiencing extreme rage, the result will be a ughter. The attribute of your martial spirit in battle. The augmentation will assimte that attribute with your heart in order to be a true spirit.


    When you call upon your martial spirit, do you not feel it slightly tugging at your consciousness?"


    The young man nodded at this question. He did feel such a tuging over every time he would call over his spirit. He asked, "Senior, why is it such? I have conquered the consciousness battle with the spirit then why does it still have an instinct of its own."


    You Daoxin smiled and said, "It is because when I transformed in the martial spirit. I had a battle instinct lingering on me. It was to the point where I was about to break into a dual with the spirit king."


    You Xi Wang was shocked. He almost called the man a battle maniac. However, knowing that the other party was the founder of his n he kept it inside. You Daoxin said, "You do not have to worry, in case of extreme emotional shock, you only need to think of those whom you love. Love is a strong force. It can fuel rage but it can also calm it down."


    The boy fell into thought. He did not even realize when You Daoxin vanished in front of him. He was lost in his thoughts of the true spirit assimtion. He did not know how will he make it happen, in case he lost control after merging with the martial spirit.


    Suddenly, it urred to him as he mumbled, "Foolish, thinking so much over something that has not urred. It will be my heart demon and I will be vulnerable then, unable to advance."


    As soon as he realized this the martial spirit silhouette floating inside the soul sea floated over to him, and then it burst into golden particles, covering him inside.


    The cocoon formed around his consciousness. While on the outside the system was extracting energy from the surroundings and re-casting the destroyed skeleton inside his body. The spirit energypressed and it flowed inside the empty skeleton ces like liquid metal, slowly setting in.


    The system sighed, [Damn it, the re-casting is almostplete and the tribtion will follow any moment, why is this guy not waking up.]


    It was able to sense that You Xi Wang''s consciousness was not there. However, knowing the pain the young man must have suffered he did notin much either. It waited and focused only on the job it was supposed to do. After re-casting the bones, the system also connected the various ligaments and tissues back from where they were detached.


    You Xi Wang opened his eyes and walked outside the cave after dispelling the barriers. He exited the cave, it has been ten days since the process started, but to him, it was like an eternity. Even now it was not You Xi Wang who was running ahead, but the system that has taken the control of the body.


    He was going over to a ce where he can deal with the tribtion and at the same time re-cast his organs. The process must not be interested in anyone. Soon, with tremendous speed, he hade to a secluded valley and cast two concealment arrays, two istion arrays. All level nine.


    The system mumbled, [Master, you better wake up before the tribtion is here, if the lightning detected my presence then we are coke.]


    ...


    You Zhen Long sensed some movement inside the cave and said, "He is out, let us go, we need to guard the parameter around him. This world is not inhabited by humans and beasts."


    The next moment, he and Griffin Tallus vanished from their ce. You Zhichi followed her great grandmaster. You Zhen Long called upon, the ancestor of the Paul Family and Griffing Tallus called over the ancestor of Gena''s family.


    They told the two elders what was about to happen, making them both speechless. Old Man Paul said, "Your family gave birth to a monster, I like it. Would he like to take another wife?"


    He was just like that. The ancestor of Gena''s family smiled and said, "He has five wives. One of them is my direct line descendant. I do not think, he will be taking anymore if he does not want to have his little thing sealed by me. Or that de demon will cut off his future lineage too."


    You Zhen Long was surprised and said, "I shall refine a good sword for my family''s bride."


    As they were talking ck clouds gathered overhead. You Zhichi said, "Maya."


    A little girl appeared beside her. Maya was left behind by You Xi Wang when he left the cave. She came over with You Zhichi. The celestial maiden said, "Go inside, and tell him if he dared to die. I will cut off my heart from the world. He will be responsible for this."


    Maya nodded and said, "Yes, big sister Zhichi." and the white-haired girl vanished from her ce. Y


    ...


    You Xi Wang woke up inside his soul sea and looked around, "Where am I?"


    The system said, "If you did not take over, then nothingness."


    You Xi Wang snapped out of his daze and took over themand of his body, only to find Maya appear next to him. He smiled at her and asked, "Maya, why did youe here now?"


    Maya delivered the message from You Zhichi and said, "I will face it together with you."


    The young man patted her head and said, "Do not worry. The second round is where I will be needing you."


    Maya was aware of his n but she did not know the details. None of the people did. As You Xi Wang could say anything more the clouds began to rumble as the thick lightning strikes emerged. He asked the system, ''Will this magnitude be enough?''


    The system replied, [You can try to entice it a bit more.]


    You Xi Wang stood up and stretched his body as he said, "So, old friend, we meet again. Can youe at me a little stronger, thest time was very disappointing."


    As if the heavens could hear his words, the lightning turned from red to blue. It was not getting gentler but more terrifying. The system said, [This will do.]


    You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Come."


    He did not have the time yet to explore what happened to his martial spirit but he was a little more eager to face against the lightning falling from the sky.
