Chapter 19: Kung Fu Panda
In a Large Open room, The Nine Disciples and Jeffrey sat around a table according to their rank.
Dragon Sr sat at the front left seat of the large rectangular wooden table. Across from him was Beast Jr, and sitting to his right was Sword Jr.
Across Sword Jr and sat Thunder Jr, and to his right sat Ice Jr. Across Ice Jr sat Emperor Jr, and to her right was Hell Jr. Across Hell Jr sat Heaven Jr, and next to him sat Fire Jr. Sitting at the end of the large table was Jeffrey.
"When do you think Master will be back?" Dragon Sr looked at the empty seat at The Head of The Table.
"He should be back tomorrow," Sword Jr said quietly.
"Master's being slow," Emperor Jr looked at the head of the table, "He should've left the Spirit for us to deal with too!"
Thunder Jr swiped Emperor Jr's head, "Don't belittle the master!"
Emperor Jr looked annoyingly at her, "I'm just saying, He should be here to congratulate us for completing the mission in 8 days!"
"He'll Be Here!" Fire jr felt awkward looking at the empty sit in front of her and looked over at Jeffrey, "Right, Mr. Jeffrey?"
Jeffrey Chuckled and looked at the beginnings of his Prince's court gathered around the table, "Of Course, His Royal Highness said to gather here after accomplishing the mission."
"Did he say when he would come?" Emperor Jr said loudly.
WHAM!
This time is the Heaven Jr that smacked him on the head, and this time his head bounced.
"Hey!" Emperor Jr growled.
"Master will be back when Master is back, Stay your greed," Heaven Jr voiced out indifferently.
"Hmph, Whatever!" Emperor Jr looked away embarrassed at the looks the others gave him.
Jeffrey smiled at the banter between the nine disciples, their friendship grew deeper with each passing day.
"His highness told me he would come to Hidden Cloud Village on the 10th day so of course, He'll be here," Jeffrey said to reassure the restless disciples. They had truly done a magnificent job conquering the surrounding village.
There were 10 villages within the entire forest biome. Two Large Villages, Four Medium Villages, and Four Small Villages. In The First Three days, The Nine Disciples conquered all Four of The Small Villages. The Hidden Blade Village, The Hidden Knife Village, The Hidden Rock Village, and The Hidden Mist Village.
In The Next Two days, The Nine Disciples conquered Three of the Four Medium Villages. The Hidden Lake Village, The Hidden Sword Village, and The Hidden Boulder Village. In the Next Two days, they conquered The Last Medium Village and One of the Large Villages. The Hidden Spear Village and The Powerful Hidden Weapon Village. On the next day, The Eighth Day, They Fought and Conquered the Most Powerful Village, The Hidden Cloud Village.
Of course, Jeffrey handled the Chiefs of each Village, protecting The Nine Disciples as They Fought with Warriors around their Cultivation. By the day of the Battle with The Hidden Cloud Village, Each of the Disciples had reached a whole new level of cultivation and power. Fast Approaching the Peak of The First Realm of Cultivation.
...
Alex walked south according to his memories. With Every Step, He moved Ever Closer to His Goal. Fighting that Dammed Panda, He Couldn't Wait to Punch It in Its Stupid Face. After Nine Days of Fighting and gathering Experience, He was Finally Ready.
Another fifty-yard forward, Alex finally spots the clearing he's been looking for ahead. Slowing down, Alex took out Thunderbolt from the system and moved forward silently.
Coming up on the clearing, the first thing he was that the corpse of the dead Spirit Wolf King was gone from its old spot. Resting a few feet away from that spot was the new Spirit Panda King. He was as big as ever, a whopping 8 ft in length. Beneath its white and black fur was clearly visible bulging muscles moving up and down as it took every damned peaceful breath in and out.
Next to the stupid panda was a pile of very shiny objects. From one look, Alex could only figure out a couple of the items in the pile. There were some small grade and Mid-grade Spirit Stones, a couple of Weapons, Some Jade Slips, and a Weird Sigil.
Alex boldly walked out into the clearing and shouted at the Panda, "Hey Stupid Panda Boss!"
The Panda lazily opened its eyes and glanced at Alex behind waving him off like a fly.
SHH! SHH!
Alex's Face turned Red in Anger as he saw the movement of the panda. His sword started glowing orange in his left hand.
"You don't remember me?" Alex kept shouting, his sword growing more dazzling by the second. The panda once again slightly opened its eye and seeing Alex standing menacingly with his dazzling orange sword, the panda finally stood up.
Alex's face scrunched in, even though the panda stood he stood up he could feel the 'why is this fly bothering me laissez-faire' vibe coming off the damned panda. Alex broked the ground in anger with a powerful step and dashed quickly to the panda. As soon as Alex got in range, The panda did his famous smirk and swatted powerfully at Alex with his left arm, His muscles fully flexed.
"Not this time!" Alex did a quick switch of his body. His feet swung out from behind his body to in front of him and his soles touched the ground before he bent his knees out and his feet fully landed. Alex's Momentum kept him sliding forward meanwhile he moved his hands out to hold his sword above his head parallel to the ground.
Using his momentum, Alex passed underneath the left arm of The Panda and raised his sword to cut deep into The Panda's Arm.
ROARR!
The Panda roared in pain and brought its left arm back to its body. This roar was music to Alex's Ear, It was finally his turn to Smirk.
The Panda turned around to Alex who had come to a stop behind it after sliding under its arm. With another ferocious roar, The Panda no longer had a playful demeanor. A Silver 'King' Imprint Appeared on The Panda's Forehead. The Panda widened its feet and raised its right hand to the front of its face in a fist gesture before raising its pinky finder, Striking a Martial Stance.
Alex was dumbfounded. He looked at the serious-faced Panda standing in a Martial Stance with its left arm bleeding and limp on its side. "What now?" He thought. Alex adjusted his stance, bringing his sword in front of him he got ready to circulate the second stance of his sword technique.
The Panda stood quietly waiting for Alex to make his move. Alex unleashed his powerful aura, his body tuned bronze-gold as rushed out with Thunderbolt pointed out forward towards The Panda. Once Alex got again got into range, The Panda's powerful body groaned, and its hand moved towards the sword. It's Pinky and Thumb extended towards Thunderbolt's Tip.
A Strong Feeling of Death overcame Alex, this was The First Time he felt he was facing death in a battle. Instinct kicked in and took over Alex's body.
[Second Stance- Thunder Roar]
The powerful Drum of Thunder sounded of Thunderbolt's blade. Great pressure descended on the air in front of Thunderbolt, making a bid to bind the 8ft Panda. Succeeding in slightly slowing down the Thumb and Pinky Combo, Alex wasted not a Slight Second of Time.
[Third Stance- Spring Lighting Descent]
The Thunderbolt Sword in Alex's hand glowed a blinding orange light before it disappeared. An orange lightning strike flew from Alex's hand into The Panda. As The Panda tried to close its Thumb and Pinky together, the lightning strike struck before it had the change. Seconds passed and the lightning disappeared, in its place a purple sword laid on the ground.
The Panda, seconds after the swords appeared, fell to the ground in two different places. It had been sliced in half, right between its Thumb and Pinky all the way to under its left shoulder, cleanly separating the top half from the bottom half. Alex solemnly stood above the separated body, clearly out of breath.
That last bit of the fight took everything he had, The feeling of Death looming over him pushed him to his very limit. Recalling The Thunderbolt Sword to him, Alex stopped in his track as something weird was happening. The silver 'King' Imprint flew out of The Panda's Head and flew into his forehead.
"System, What's Happening!" Alex was shocked and worried as he didn't have the energy to protect himself at the moment.
