Chapter 89: Boarding the ship

"Come on children let's go" A man got up and started walking, followed by two small children. A boy and a girl. "It's been a while since I got so much money! We'll have some meat today!" The man was a simple hunter and made his money by hunting in the sea. The children were ecstatic about hearing the news.

"Ohh? That's an interesting talk, old man. If you have so much money then you have to give us our share." Suddenly, five men came out of a dark alley. They were all young, not more than 20 years old.

"Run!" When the man saw them, blood left his face. Who didn't know these five men, disciples of the blood sect? They terrorized this port city for a week now. He didn't have any choice but to let his children escape.

"You can't leave that easily. Children fetch quite the price on the black market!" The leader of the men didn't seem intent on letting them leave. With the money the man had and the hopeless children, he would be making quite the sum of money.

The children were smart. As soon as they heard their father, they turned back and started running. Their father was a hunter, so his physical ability was high, yet he was no match for cultivators. He could only but them a couple of seconds before being tossed aside. The men would be coming back for him when they catch the children.

"Kyaaa!" The little girl's voice sounded. The man's heart leaped out of his throat with fear. His family was going to be sold as slaves.

"Who the hell are you?!" the leader, who should be laughing, was asking someone a question. The hunter did his best to look up. He saw a man no older than those disciples, with something on top of his head. 'Is that a slime?!!' The man was bewildered by what he saw.

"Are you okay? Sorry I didn't look in front of me." The young man helped the little girl up. She couldn't help but feel safe with him. "Please help us!!" She had tears in her eyes, and her younger brother was sobbing.

"He can't help you! We're from the Blood sect, no one would be able to oppose us!" The leader of the young men started babbling on and on about how he was part of the Blood sect, until.

"You're not from the Blood sect. Its members all have a tattoo of a drop of blood on their left cheek." The men heard him and unconsciously reached out to touch their empty left cheeks. "I was kidding. It's actually the right cheek." This time they were looking like idiots, with both of their hands on their faces.

"You don't have to be afraid of them. They're only idiots that like to touch their cheeks" The young man spoke to the two young children. When they heard him, they looked at the group of men and started laughing.

"You bastard!" The young leader knew that he couldn't stay in the port city now. His scheme was discovered. Many people heard them, but simply chose to hide or run away at the beginning. All five people rushed at Ed, trying to get revenge.

"You're a danger after all, so…". Before anyone could understand what had happened, the five men lying unconscious on the ground with red bruises on their forehead. No one could see what the young man did. They only knew that he was the one who did it.

"Eat this" The young man made his way to the injured hunter and gave him a pill. As soon as he ate it, he felt that his injuries were healing. "Thank you so much!" The hunter kept thanking the young man. He had just saved him and his family. "How can I repay you?!"

"Well, you can tell me how to get to the ship leaving for the Central Continent." The man only asked for directions as payback. The hunter happily told him. "If I may ask, what's your name?" The hunter asked.

"Edward," Ed told him and made his way to the ship. What he didn't know was that a certain family's hero would forever be called Edward for generations to come.

Ed spent two weeks before he reached the Port city. The distance was quite long, so he couldn't reach as fast as he thought. Fortunately for him, ships heading to the Central Continent were always present. Ed went ahead to the ship and bought a ticket for boarding. Every ship could take about 500 passengers, so they had to count them using tickets. Ed had to buy two tickets because of Suika. He didn't want to make her stay in card form, so he chose to pay for her. It was only 1.000 gold coins each anyway.

Ed boarded the ship and looked for his room. The ship was huge. Big enough to be called a cruise ship. It was made from metal, making it sturdy. Ed didn't know how it was able to move with all the weight but guessed it had something to do with magic. Every passenger had their private room, but you could ask for shared rooms. Ed and Suika obviously stayed at the same room.

Every time a ship departed, they would have at least one Heavenly Establishment staff on board. The way to the CC was not a safe one, as sea monsters would appear every time. This was the reason why the tickets were very expensive. Ed was tired from his journey, so he took a bath as usual and slept. He didn't even eat. Nor did he care about the scenery of the trip. All he wanted was to sleep.

The ship needed three days to reach the CC. Ed had enough time to make his plans before he got there. He was also relieved since he met a lot of people posing as Blood sect members. This meant that Blood sect is truly looking for members. This guaranteed that Ed can take his time leveling up. Without having to worry about his friends and family.

Ed's thoughts were running wild, as his eyes closed shut.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the late chapter I was busy today^^

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 90: Arrival

Ed woke up and immediately ordered some food. He made sure to order as much as he could. He wasn't the only one who was going to eat. The one who brought in the food seemed that he will forever be holding a grudge against Ed. He had to come and go a couple of times before bringing all the dishes. He didn't even want to think about the person who has to clean it up.

The ship was equipped for everything. They had a restaurant, some entertainment areas, and training halls. Ed didn't plan on checking anything; he was going to spend his time calmly before he got to Central Continent. He didn't even hunt anything on the way to the port city. Mainly, because the monsters were too weak to help him with his level.

Ed finished his food and headed to the deck. A few people were staying there enjoying the view, same as Ed. Most of them had cultivation higher than Earth Establishment. Only strong people usually left to challenge the Tower of Origin.

Ed looked at the man standing alone at the top of the deck. 'He should be the staff responsible for protection' the man was in a state of concentration. He was responsible for killing any monsters that approach the ship. Not only cultivators visit the Central Continent, even nobles go. Many of them think about it as a way of finding new exotic pets or stuff of the sort. So if he makes any mistakes, he might get hunted.

Funny enough, Ed noticed some movement in the water. It seemed like the staff member noticed it as well, as he drew his sword. He floated high above the deck and started charging his sword with QI. Ed activated his Sharingan to take a good look. The man left a replica of his sword made from his sword each time he changed its position. There were more than a dozen swords by now. Enough for the number of monsters in the water.

The monsters looked like sharks with wings. They were Earth Establishment and they were very strong. As soon as one of them jumped out of the water, one of the sword replicas moved in incredible speed, piercing its head. None of the monsters survived the attacks. The staff member got back to the deck and continued to stand silently.

What he didn't know, was that his special ability which he spent a long time developing, was copied by Ed just now. Ed had never used the Sharingan's copying ability until now. But, he decided he would start using it from now on. Strong skills were always welcome.

Ed remained on the deck for a while. Some similar incidents happened, but they were never too much for the staff to handle. Ed went back to his room and found out that it was cleaned. He took this chance to order some lunch. Again, the staff from earlier showed up with his dishes. He had a pitiful look on his face. 'Why don't they send more than 1 server' Ed didn't know why this man's luck was so bad.

Ed and his companions ate and decided to take a nap. Ed was not being thoughtless or being too relaxed. The first thing he did when he boarded the ship, was looking for potential enemies on his Map. He was relieved to find that the ship was 'clean'. After his nap, Ed started meditating. He activated Ten and stayed in that state for a while. It was a new way for him to train Nen without having to cause damage to the surrounding area by using Ren.

Suika and Raikou also did the same. A couple of hours later, Ed stopped and ordered some food again. The same server appeared. Ed had a wry smile now, and couldn't help but give the man a tip. Finally, the sour mood of the man was lifted by the generous tip. Ed took a shower and left to the deck once more. It was now night time, and the sky was filled with stars.

Ed had stayed many times outside. But, he never saw a clear sky. Even in his previous world, the sky's lights were clouded by lights from the cities. The stars were shining brightly, illuminating the way for the ship. Many of the travelers got out of their rooms to enjoy the view. Soon, the deck was crowded. The number of people was making the staff's job of protecting them much harder. The starry sky was also blocked by them.

Ed felt annoyed and headed back to his room. He spent the next two days almost the same way. Finally, on the fourth day, they had set on the Central Continent. As soon as Ed descended, he could feel the difference. There a dangerous feeling in the air. Ed activated his Map, and many red dots appeared. Most of them would be bandits and scammers, so if they don't bother Ed, he wouldn't kill them.

Ed took out an actual map, one that was given to him by Leonard. He was going straight to the Tower of Origin without wasting a single second. His time was limited. Many of the people who descended from the ship had the same idea as Ed. They could also feel the dangerous aura. All of those who noticed immediately tried to leave the city. While some of the pampered nobles looked excited to explore the city.

'My condolences' Ed thought in his mind and left towards the exit of the city. As soon as he started moving, some red dots started moving as well. One of them seemed as if it was running somewhere. Ed expanded the Map and understood what was happening. The one who left went to inform some more people. Soon enough, Ed was surrounded by some gang members.

"Give us all your valuables and we might let you live". Their leader spoke, giving Ed the impression of a Cliché storyline. 'Even his character looks cliché'. The man was even wearing a bandana like a bandit. Ed knew this kind of situation was going to happen, so he prepared a pouch of money. "Take this" He threw in the air. All of the bandits' eyes immediately followed it. Suddenly it disappeared.

"What did you-". When the leader wanted to know what happened, he looked down only to find that Ed had disappeared as well.

"If you try to follow, I'll kill you all" Ed was standing behind the group that was in front of him, blocking their way. All of the bandits got shivers and hurriedly left. Ed didn't want to kill them since it would create a big scene. If they persisted, they could only blame themselves.

Ed left the city, heading towards the Tower of Origin.
