...
HUUUWWWAAAAAA!!!!!!....
The tremors and the mini-earthquake cause by Shin's sudden shout on the Secret Lab and the surface were clearly felt by all the individuals present.
But that weird shout have different feeling and more meaning to the special individuals and peak class experts around the Continent.
And of course, the first one to notice it is David. After all, he is currently engaging a battle with an Ethereal Opening Expert in the very same underground secret lab. "Huh!? What was that? Did something explode inside the Lab? Eh!? No, it is more like a roar of different kinds of monsters..... Wait!!!..... Don't tell me someone or something is about to reborn as a.... What the hell are they doing in this Lab?"
David looked at the man in tuxedo in front of him and said. "Tsk, sorry bro. I guess I don't have a time to play with you anymore."
Suddenly, the Mental Energy on their surroundings become wild and rush towards David. Then, he gathered it all on his right hand, while taking a half-step backwards together with a pulling motion of his arm.
"Condense!" David shout it out loud, making the Mental Energies on his clenched right hand fist to compressed and glows with a blinding silver light.
'Sh*t!' The man in tux felt a very dangerous feeling coming from that fist. So, he wants to do something to prevent that, or at least get out on this place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately for him, David extend his free arm and point his palm at the man while shouting once again. "Locked!"
The Mental Energy residuals that were left on the surroundings rush at the tuxedo guy, restraining him in place and preventing him from moving.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Nature's Lockdown'
"Goodbye Bro, just say hi for me, on your colleagues on the other side, OK." David bid his final farewell before sending his opponent to Hell. Then, he thrust his fist forward, sending a powerful spiral Mental Energy wave towards the tuxedo guy.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Haymaker of the King Beast'
Swooooooooosh!!!
BOOM!!!
Everything that 'that' Mental Energy wave had passed through were razed to the ground, leaving nothing but ruins on its path. Even the guy in tux didn't even leave an intact corpse behind.
After that, David rush towards the direction where he felt that strange sound coming from.

Meanwhile, Nathan Springfield is currently busy on verifying the tip that they have got about the the spies on the Military and a Secret Underground Lab in Michigan City.
But while doing that, he suddenly felt an eerie feeling coming from somewhere and brushing pass his body.
He stopped what he were doing and try to look for the direction where it was coming from. But he failed to pinpoint the real source. That feeling was very brief, so he don't have enough time to feel it more clearly. All he can do is stared at the general direction that he think is the source of that weird vibe, and muttered to himself. "Could it just be my imagination? But that was not possible. That feeling was very distinct to become an imagination."
Since he failed to locate it, Nathan brushed it off almost immediately before continuing what he were doing. "Hey! Lieutenant Lang! Have you already verified the information about the Underground Secret Lab at Michigan City?"
The reply came almost immediately. "Sir! Yes Sir! That tip that we got was authentic and real. But there is something weird happening in there. Sir"
Nathan knitted his brows and asked. "What was it?"
The Lieutenant hesitated for a moment before replying. "Ahm.... It looks like that Secret Lab is under attack by someone. Even though we can't see what is really happening in there because of some weird frequencies blocking our satellite, we are sure that it is under attack base on the reports that we got from our men over there."
Lieutenant Lang pause for a moment because he don't know whether he is going to tell something or not.
Nathan notice that and said. "Whatever is it, tell me right away and don't waste our time. We still have a lot of things to do."
The Lieutenant brace himself and said. "Sir previously, when we are checking what's happening in the Michigan City, we detected a signal coming from Young Master Shin's Advance Watch. But.....But..... But that was very brief so we don't know if it is real or not. The signal lasted for a least a second only and disappeared again very quickly, so we are unsure what to do. Sir."
Nathan's eyes brighten for a moment when he heard that. If he connects the mysterious tip that they've got, and what's happening on the Michigan City, and if he add that sudden flash of signal earlier, together with some of his suspicions previously, then everything make sense.
He look at the lieutenant and ordered. "Capture all of the Military personnels on the list and lock them up on our prison cell until I got back. And make sure to do it carefully and silently, so that you can't alert the others. Remember! I want all the persons on the list, nothing more, nothing less. If I get back here and discovered that some of them had escape, I'll hold you responsible for that! UNDERSTAND?"
"SIR! YES! SIR!" replied by Lieutenant Kang.
"And tell our people on Michigan City to locked down the area from the tip. And inform them that I'm going over there. That's all. You're dismissed." said Nathan to send off the lieutenant.
Then, he pulled back his chair, stood up, before walking out of the room, and about to go to Michigan City.

At Stuart Family Residence, Elias Stuart is about to enter a deep meditation state when a sudden gust of chilling aura swept passed him.
He open his eyes almost immediately and shot up from his lotus sitting position. Suddenly, he disappeared from his room and reappeared on top of their mansion.
He squinted his eyes and look at the direction of Michigan City. He is a Mentalist, so his senses are quite keen on this kind things. Even though that chilling aura was quite brief, he can still pinpoint its exact location as long as he know the general location that it came from.
He jumped from the roof of their mansion and flew towards Michigan City, for him to see what was that chilling aura that he felt earlier.
********
In a nameless island on the Soaring Continent, where Arthur is having his special training.
The middle-aged man that is in charge of training Arthur is currently resting on top of a mountain. Then, he suddenly felt something unusual. He opened his eyes and frowned his brows before look at the direction were it was coming from. He stood up and about to go on the source of that unusual feeling when he felt another presence present there. "EH!? That guy is also here? If he is already there, then I guess I didn't need to get involved. Maybe he can handle the current situation."
Then, he go back to his laying position before closing his eyes once again, and take a nap comfortably.
*******
Similar things happened around the Continent, but most of them choose not to go since they already felt that there are already capable individuals rushing over there. While the others failed to pinpoint the exact location because that feeling was quite brief or they are too faraway to feel it clearly.
********
Going back on the underground secret Lab, on Shin's side, The atmosphere in there become tense.
The old man is looking at 'Shin' with a very unease expression on his face. 'What in the world is this kid? Transforming into a Demon at the very young age? He don't have enough cultivation level to have mischief on it and become one.'
Then, he suddenly jump to the side barely dodging a Mental Energy wave that coming towards him.
Swoosh!
BOOM!!!
The wall behind the old man was completely destroyed due to that sudden attack, but the old man don't have a leisure time to think about that, because 'Shin' mysteriously appeared in front of him and throwing a powerful punch, straight to his chest.
"HAh!" The old man shout out loud to use his 'Qi Reinforcement Skill' on his arms once again. Then, he swiftly cross them in front of his chest while bracing himself on the incoming attack.
BANG!!!
Crack!
Swoosh!
BOOM!!!
Despite reinforcing his arms, the old man still felt that the bones on both of his arms were broken, and the worst part in it is he was sent flying backwards. And coming after him is another powerful Mental Energy wave, devouring him entirely.
Good thing that the old man was fast enough to cast another 'Qi Reinforcement Skill' on his entire body, withstanding that attack. And together with his powerful regenerative ability, to heal some injuries that he got, the old man manage to hold his ground.
But despite that being the case, the old man have different kind of thoughts. 'RUN! I have to runaway from here, or else I'm going to die for sure!'
But, he knows that the monster in front of him is not going to give him a chance to do so. And he was right about that. He saw that Shin's body suddenly blurred from his vision, and that makes his heart to become tense and almost jump out from his throat.
'Sh*t! An Afterimage!' that was the last thought of the old man had, when his head was blasted off by the sudden appearance of a powerful fist in front of him.
BOOM!!!
After that, the old man's body started to fall on the ground limply and lifelessly. But, how can he trick the current 'Shin' in front of him. 'Shin' formed a hand blade with his other hand, and thrust it towards to old man's chest.
Shin's left hand pierce through the old man's chest, making the later's body to trembled uncomfortably. Then, suddenly, a powerful suction force was formed from Shin's left arm, absorbing and devouring all kinds of energies that were coming from the old man's 'Lifeless' body.
And that body suddenly become wild and want to escape from Shin's grasp. But unfortunately, the later didn't let him do that. 'Shin' pulled the old man's body closer to prevent it from doing more movements. Then, some strange aguish wailings sound from the headless body, ringing on the entire place.
Moments later, the old man's body started o wither uncontrollably until it become a headless skeleton with some dried skin, covering its surface.
'Shin' then throw that headless skeleton to the side like some sort of trash, well... from the looks of it, it really is a trash.
After that, 'Shin' clenched and unclenched his hands, trying to feeling something. Then, the black colored Internal Qi on the surface of his body started to devour the white colored one, trying to fight it for the supremecy of the body. Unfortunately for it, the white Internal Qi is still a little stronger than the black one and managed to hold the fight into a deadlock.
And at this time, David finally arrived at the scene. And when he saw the state of 'Shin', his nerves become numb. "F*CK ME, these guys really made a Demon here! EH!? Wait.... No.... There is still something wrong with this guy."
David observe 'Shin' more carefully using some special ocular skill to confirm his doubts. Seconds later, he come up with his conclusion. "Sure enough, this guys is not fully transformed into a Demon yet. Whoever this guy, he have a very strong willpower to hold himself up. And.... Maybe it is also because of his Martial-Arts, because from the looks of it, the nature of his Internal Qi is at least a nemesis of that Demonic Qi, if not fully its bane."
"This guy can still be save. But I still needs to look out for that berserk Metal Energy running around him, even though it didn't side on either of the fighting Internal Qi's, the berserk nature of that energy may still affect the host's mind and body."
"Tsk, F*CK ME for being a busybody. A Martial-Artist turned Demon is already a scary one, what's more a Dual-Practioner? Good thing that this guy's cultivation level is a little lower than mine. But still, it looks like I need to become really serious this time." After muttering those, David stab his right hand index finger on a meridian point on the right side of his temple.
'Limit Break: Phase One'
Then, David's aura suddenly change. He breathed out a bunch of air before releasing his Metal Energy, and that energies have become more powerful than his usual one.
....
'Meridian Locking', this is what it called. This is a technique created by some old generation Experts for some super talented individuals the were born every tens of thousands of years.
These super geniuses possess not only talents but they are also born with powerful cultivation since birth in either Martial-Arts or Mentalism. But that also have setbacks on it.
The main problem of those talents is because of their powerful cultivation since birth, their bodies as an infant failed to contain that power. So they died on either the overloading of their Internal Qi or overstimulation of their Mental Energy.
Because of the death of those super rare geniuses, the Experts of that time look for a solution on that problem. And that is when a genius Expert Mentalist suddenly emerge and solved it.
He proposed an idea of blocking few meridians of those kids, to close some pathways of their Internal Qi and Mental Energy flow on their bodies and minds. And due those closed pathways, they can minimize the cultivation of those kids to the limit.
And after many trial and errors, those experts finally managed to know the right meridians that they need to block without affecting their cultivation too much. And even with those close meridians, those super geniuses can still practice Martial-Arts and Mentalism without issue.
And every time they unlock those meridians, they gain an upgrade on their strength. But they can only unlock few number of meridians base on their current strength, and if they unlock more than their body can withstand, then they might die because of overloading of powers.
The Experts of that time called that method 'Meridian Blocking'. Sometimes, some people called it 'Limit Break', every time they unlock those blocked meridians.
To make that long story short, David is one of those super geniuses that only appear every tens of thousands of years.
.....
"OK! Let's do some good deed to accumulate some good Karma. I want to see if I can save this guy, and knocked him back into his former self. " said David as he walked towards 'Shin', who is currently occupied with the matter of his opposing Internal Qi's.
And that is only the time when 'Shin' notice David appearance.
HuuuWaaaa!!!!
'Shin' release another deafening shout, but this time, it is less intense than the previous one.
.....
Yo! Guys! and Girls!
I don't know what say so I'll just say THANK YOU for everything.
Sincerely Yours,
Proud Mokey
....
HuuuWaaa!!!
After that shout, 'Shin' release a very powerful oppressive might, trying to suppress the new arrival. And that was not your typical oppressive might, because it have a combined powers of Internal Qi and Mental Energy.
But David is not a pushover either, he release an oppressive might of his own, which is equally strong if not stronger than the one that is coming from 'Shin'. And this time, the Mental Energy from David transformed into an alternating silver and golden color one.
If a Mentalist refined their Mental Energy to the fullest, they can change the nature of their Mental Energy to the one that is more favorable to them. And that newly transformed Mental Energy can rival the 'Natural Force' of an Ethereal Opening Stage Expert, Martial-Artist.
Thsk...Thsk...Thsk...
Sparks were created in between of the two, because of the collision two opposing oppressive mights.
After that brief standoff of powers, 'Shin' gathered a bunch of Mental Energy on his right hand, before clenching it into a fist. Moments later, 'Shin' thrust his right arm forward, sending a powerful spiral Mental Energy wave towards David.
'Eh!? That Skill is similar to mine. OK, let is see whose attack is stronger.' David clench right hand fist and pulled it backwards, while gathering his Mental Energy on it. Then, he swiftly throw a straight punch, sending a spiral Mental Energy Wave of his own.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Haymaker of the King Beast'
Swoooosh!
BOOOM!!!
The two opposing spiral Mental Energy waves collides with each other, creating a powerful explosion and shockwave outwards.
Then, 'Shin' suddenly disappeared from his previous location leaving zero traces behind. But even though David can't see his opponent's movements, he can still feel it through his Mental Energy perception range.
David calmly move his left hand in counterclockwise direction, while covering it with his Mental Energy.
Pa!
The back of David's hand deflected Shin's right hand fist, who is suddenly appeared in front of him. Then, the later use his other fist to strike his opponent's face, but David is fast enough to respond. He use the same method with his other hand, and also deflect that incoming fist on the same manner.
Pa!
After defending, it is time for counterattacking. David clench his left hand into a fist, before thrusting it forward straight to Shin's face.
Shin swiftly pulled back his left arm, while moving the hand of his other arm in circular motion, and in counterclockwise direction. Then, he use the bottom of his palm to hit the top of David's fist, and redirecting it outwards.
Pak!
David use the momentum of his strike to do another straight punch with his other fist. On the other hand, Shin use his left arm once again and strike with a straight punch of his own, greeting the incoming fist with the same force.
Bang!
The two fist collides and create a bunch of shockwaves, and send a violent ripples in the air. The basic exchange of fist was quite brief, but it was enough for David to assess about Shin's current strength.
'Strong. This guy is strong. He should be at least have a High Class Martial-Arts, before turning into his current state. But how the hell did turned into a Semi-Demon? His Martial-Art Level is still too low the have a mischief, and turned into one.' While David is thinking about that, their battle continues.
Both of them throw a barrage of punches with each other, trying to suppress their opponents with it. And as the battle escalates into a higher degree, their fists were joined by their feets and legs, and making the battle to become a little more intense.
And as the battle progress, David started to feel some pressure from Shin's attacks. At first, he thought that it is just his imagination, but as he battle more and more against Shin, he discovered that it is not the case. "F*ck my life, Are you kidding me? This guy is at least a Battle Genius before turning into this one. An Evolving Demon? Yik! That is going to become even more scary."
Being clear about the situation, David need to do something to escape his current predicament. He took a deep breath, before swiftly crossing his hands in front of him, blocking the incoming fist from 'Shin'.
Bang!
David was hit and was sent flying backwards, but didn't get any kind of injury. He just use the force of impact to put some distance from Shin, and to have some breathing space.
But that is just what David wants to do, and unfortunately for him, the moment his feet touches the ground, he is greeted by a bunch of flying Mental Energy to wave that are coming after him. All David can do is wave his hands left and right, blocking all the incoming attacks.
And before he take a breather after the last energy wave, Shin fist is once again upon him. David immediately took a half-step backwards, putting a little distance from Shin. And when the later's fist is about to reach him, David swiftly ducked forward, barely avoiding the attack.
After that, David immediately throw a dual palm strikes straight to Shin's chest. Because of the momentum of Shin's previous attack, and together with David immediate counter, the later have no time do dodge. "You are quite stubborn, aren't you?"
Bang!
Swoosh!
Shin was sent flying backwards, finally giving David some time to breath. *Huu~* "Now it is clear to me. This guy is not an artificial Demon and he didn't encounter a mischief in his practice either. There must be some sort it of 'Seed of Hatred' inside is inner heart or something similar. That 'seed' just want to evolve, that is why he become like this."
"Tsk, Whoever this guy's Master I'm sure he very strong and smart. To think that he is aware about his disciple having a 'Seed of Hatred' and teach him a Martial-Art that can suppress a Demonic Possession. And what's more, the moment that 'seed' become triggered, this guy's properly nurtured Internal Qi will fight the Demonic Qi. That mindset was beyond being brilliant!"
"Eh!? Hmmm... Maybe this is the same guy that I had saw before, the one that might be a military agent. Maybe he is also here to do something, but while he is fighting against someone, that 'seed' inside his inner heart become triggered for some unknown reason. Yeah, that's it. That maybe the case." And while David is discussing with himself, Shin finally get out from a pile of boulders, that buried him because of the previous attack.
Huruu~. Huruu~. Huruu~.
After standing up, Shin breathed in and out some gray colored smoke together with some hoarse and scary sound.
*Whistle ~♪* "Creepy! That sound is quite hard to bear." muttered David before retaking his battle stance. "OK, let us start Round 2!"
Then, he thrown multiple punches in the air, sending a bunch of Mental Energy waves at Shin.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Air Fissure Cannons.'
When Shin saw the incoming barrage of attacks, he opened his mouth and shoat out loud, sending a powerful energy wave forward.
HuuWaaa!!!
And that energy wave is like a giant tsunami that devoured all the Mental Energy waves sent by David. And after that, that tsunami like Mental Energy wave proceed towards the later.
"Woah! That was cool!" On David's side, he formed a blade on his left hand and raise it above his head. Then, he concentrate his Mental Energy there, before swinging it downwards, sending a crescent shape Mental Energy.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Wind Blade of the Souring Eagle.'
Swooooosh!
Shin's Mental Energy wave was sliced into two when David's Mental Energy Blade pass through it. It is like a butter being slice by a cutting knife.
And that that Mental Energy Blade went straight to Shin.
Shin formed a blade with his right hand while pulling it towards his left shoulder. After that, he swung it sideways, in a horizontal manner, and send a Mental Energy blade of his own.
Swooooosh!
BANG!
Another violent ripples were created in the air when the two mental energy blades collides. But the two didn't wait for the ripples to calm down, they exchange a barrage of Mental Energy waves with each other on that distance.
And this time, David learned his lessons. He didn't linger on that exchange much longer, to prevent Shin from improving once again. David suddenly disappeared from his location and mysteriously reappeared beside Shin.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Stride of the Grasshopper'
David then swung his fist forward straight to Shin's face. And that landed a clean hit, and also sent Shin in the air. Then, David swiftly stretch his hand that he used on that punch, planning to pull Shin back on the ground.
But before he manage to get a firm grip on the later. Shin immediately spin in the air and throw a powerful kick in the process.
David immediately pulled back his arm and place it in front of his face, trying to block the incoming kick. But that anticipated attack didn't come. David knitted his brows and try to look on his front, and that is the time a fist greeted him. 'Talking about the payback, it immediately come.'
BANG!
Good thing that David is fast enough to create a Mental Energy Barrier in front of his face, blocking that attack. Then, David swiftly took two steps backward, before doing a flash kick attack at Shin, who is still in the air.
'Myriad Manifestation Method: Sting of a Queen Bee'
Swoosh!
Shin dodge the incoming kick by doing a spin roll in the air. Then, he adjust his center of gravity to force himself to fall on the ground. And when he do, his and David's position change. This time, David is in the air while Shin in on the ground.
At the same time that Shin landed on the ground he immediately do a handstand, followed by a Thomas Spin, before pushing himself upwards, sending himself straight to David with his feet going first.
Meanwhile, David use the momentum of his previous attack to do another flip in the air. Then, he use his Mental Energy to push himself downwards, and greet Shin's attack with a powerful stomp of his.
Bang!
The two stand still for a second before sending each other on opposite direction. And the moment their feet landed in the ground, they immediately throw themselves on each other once again.
Then the battle escalated on a whole new level.
*******
At the same time, different experts arrived outside, above the underground secret lab.
Good thing that Nathan is fast enough to ordered his men to locked down the place earlier, so no one dared to immediately invade the location. And since the place is currently under the military operation all they can do is wait.
After all, they don't want to provoke the military force just because they are curious about what they had felt. But even though that is the case, no one can prevent these experts from using their special methods to observe what's happening inside.
And what they had discovered shocked them to the core. This place is a huge secret lab created by a powerful organization, and they are doing some immoral research in here. If this lab operate for at least a little bit more time, they don't know how many more innocent people might become their victims.
Good thing that the military immediately discovered about this place. And from the state of the lab, it looks like it is currently under attack by 'them'.
But that is not the most shocking part. Because deep inside the lab, an intense battle is currently undergoing. One of them is a Mentalist from younger generation while the other is a....
"DEMON!!!"
That was the single word that entered their minds, when they saw Shin's current appearance. Their eyes almost turned bloodshot and about to make their move against that so called 'Demon'.
"I dare you to enter the premises of this place."
Suddenly, a strong and dignified voice resounded in the entire place. All of the experts stop their tracks and look at the direction of that voice, and there, they saw a slim and handsome middle-aged man with blonde hair, and looking at them in a dignified manner.
" 'Dragon King' Nathan Springfield!!! "
The experts were stunned when they saw who is it. Nathan ignored their reactions and said with a commanding tone. "We are currently conducting a Military Operation in this place. So I hereby inform you, that entering the premises of this place will mark you as a suspected member of the organization running this lab."
The experts become silent after that, not because of what they have heard, but because they are afraid of provoking the man in front of them.
Then, a two and a half meter tall muscular man arrived at the place, he walked in front of the crowd and looked at Nathan before saying sarcastically. "Oh our great Dragon King, are you using your authority on the military to protect that Demon?"
Nathan cross his arms in front of him and sneered at the muscular man. " 'Iron Fist' Brandon Monte, don't try playing words with me. If want to enter, then you can start at passing through me first." Then, he release a terrifying aura that swept pass through the crowd.
The other experts were already trembling in fear because of that. At the same time, Brandon release an aura of his own, barely protect himself. He then yelled after. "Nathan! Don't get too full of yourself! You maybe strong to bully us, but you can't beat us all on yourself!"
Then, ten more figures appeared and stand beside Brandon. Their auras were a little weaker that Nathan's individually, but combined, they are much stronger than the later. But before Brandon's team say something, three more person arrived, but this time, they position themselves beside Nathan.
"Then how about you include me in the equation?" said a handsome middle-aged man with a long black hair, and slim build but have strong muscles underneath his clothes.
"I didn't expect that this place is quite lively. Mind if I join the party?" said by a two meter guy with a built of not so muscular but not so slim either.
The last guy didn't say anything, he just stand there with cross arms in front of his chest, and with close eyes. He have an average look and height. While the hairs on his head were long curly and in deep cyan color. On his back hangs a two meter long broadsword with a width of a foot.
And when the other experts saw who are the other three standing beside Nathan, the nerves on their bodies become numb, while having the same thought in mind.
'What's with this day? Why there are a lot of Peak Class Experts gathered in this place?'
....
Whoops!!!
Double update for you guys!
I feel sorry if I update the previous Chapter alone, so I guess I will feel a little less guilty if I finished this one early and add for the update.
Please support me more.
Hahaha....
And one more thing. I might skip the next update because I'm lacking enough sleep these past few days. So I just want to take some rest.
But I promise! It is just one skip! Just let me sleep for another day.
Sincerely Yours,
