Bab 4: The Mark pt 2
Zhu Long saw his grandfather's expression whilst checking on his body. When he looked at his body, he too was dumbfounded of what he was seeing.
The mark surprisingly changed its color into crimson as it unexpectedly glowed. It was also the first time they witnessed it glow.
What could be the meaning of this?
"Grandfather! What's happening? Why is the mark glowi...."
Right as he was about to ask several questions to his grandfather, Zhu Long received an even greater shock. The mark began to expand! What perplexed them was it was growing at such an alarming rate, as if it was never going to stop.
It wouldn't have surprised Zhu Long if the mark was to enlarge all of the sudden he'd already experienced such a phenomenon before. But this time it was different, the mark was expanding at such a rate it soon revealed the dragon's body being marked into his own. What's worse, was the fact the mark continued to glow even brighter.
Zhu Yong brows knit together as he observed the mark, he gathers his thoughts together as he thought of something suddenly.
"Long, Try to meditate without trying to absorb qi, just calm your mind and feel the changes in your body. There is no need to be worried, I'll be here with you." Zhu Yong said in a firm and serious expression.
After seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Zhu Long immediately sat down and started to calm his mind and trying to ignore everything around him. It didn't take long for his mind to completely be in a state of meditation.
What a genius!
'It seems like this brat was able to cultivate, but this body of his is the problem and doesn't let him absorb qi. But it itself absorbs all qi not leaving even an ounce of qi on Long's body and surroundings. I might need to send him there when the situation calls for it.' Zhu Yong thought as he watched Zhu Long meditate. His expression drastically changed as he thought of sending to the boy to such a place.
...
Fire City, Dragon Empire, The Capital City of the Empire.
Fire City was bustling as always. The street was filled with various people as they gather around to shop in the market, check on some weapons and there were those who performing on the street for entertainment.
The city is always the main hot spot for tourists. This is mostly due to the history of the Empire. This history is deeply related to the origin and how the empire rose to its power and being one of the strongest Empire in the continent regardless of it being at the border.
In a narrow passage, a tall, slim man was chasing after a woman. The man had a hideous face filled with scars. He had a lecherous look on his face while chasing after the woman.
The woman had a beautiful face and a figure that one could die for, but at this moment, her beautiful face was deadly pale due to fear. The woman seemed to have run for a long period of time as her legs started to feel numb and lost its strength. She was also having a hard time catching her breath and soon felt light-headed.
"Ohhhhh darling~ Come here, I've got a surprise for you~" The man lustfully said as he was slowly making his way to the girl. He smiled in glee for it was not long for the girl to be in his grasp for she could no longer keep up with him.
"Please! Just please, leave me alone! I don't want to go with you. Just how much do you want to take away from me?! You killed my brothers and raped my sisters! You monster! As long as I'm alive, I'll never let you live!" The woman's face was ghastly pale, but her eyes filled with determination, no matter what happens she must live. Thus, she could search for a senior to help her take revenge.
"Ohhh, I love my women when they get feisty, come here and sit on my la.."
Thwump!
Just as the freaky man was talking, He dropped on the ground.
Dead?
He was dead...
When the woman saw that man die suddenly, she was relieved. She looked around as she wonders who came to save her.
"Senior I...I cannot say how happy I am that you.."
Thwump!
Just as she was expressing her gratitude, her head was cut clean off from her body as blood began to spew everywhere endlessly.
"HAHA! FOOLISH HUMANS! SHE THOUGHT THAT I CAME TO SAVE HER. TRULY FUNNY!" A very deep and hoarse voice laughed madly at the scene.
"But her taste was not that bad, such thick essence. If she truly cultivated with great mind and soul, she could have been even more tasty." The voice sounded disappointed.
At that same time, the origin of the voice seems to have noticed something.
'Tsk, they don't even let me have fun. It seems I need to go.' he thought as he disappeared into the dark.
"Found you! 01 you go to the top of the buildings and don't let him escape, I'll take the ground. Be careful and find that "Thing" before we get anymore casualties" Another voice came from the back. It sounded dignified and noble. Just as he was explaining everything, a person appeared in a split second, then disappeared going towards the top of the building. Both of them looked very powerful.
...
5 hours later.
In a small cave around the peak of the Zhu Mountain, a black clad boy was meditating. The boy entry body was covered in sweat and the Crimson dragon on his chest continued to glow. Strangely, the mark looked odd as if it seems real or alive and was giving off an overwhelming aura.
The elder placed both of his hands on the boy's back and provided his own qi to the boy's body, but sadly, all the qi continued to divert itself and transfer to the dragon mark.
It dumbfounded those who were passing by of what they were seeing. In their disbelief, no matter how much they doubt themselves, the boy was Zhu Long and the elder behind him was his grandfather Zhu Yong.
It seemed like Zhu Long was completely unaware of his surroundings and was completely focused on meditating. It was quite impressive since not many could meditate without being distracted within 10 seconds.
Zhu Yong was quietly providing qi to his grandson. He was aware that the mark was sucking the qi like an endless hole, but he still provided qi to it. It seemed like he was experimenting on something.
'If I provide enough qi to complete the mark, then would Long be able to absorb the remaining qi and finally cultivate. If that is true, then I'll have to force Long to go to that place'
His eyes showed hope thinking that his grandson whom he loved the most would finally be able to cultivate and not be bullied again, but his face also showed a hint of distress while thinking of the place.
As time slowly passed by, the sky has already turned dark and the moon shines above. The mark on Zhu Long's body began to settle down and it looked as though the mark was about to be completed.
A few more hours passed. During midnight...
'I'll beat the living crap out of this brat! He is sucking me dry of qi. Humph, when he can cultivate, he'll get a good beating.' Thought Zhu Yong looking frustrated. He had been providing qi to Zhu long up until now. Even if he was a Supreme Saint, there were still limitations to his qi.
Suddenly, Zhu Long's body glowed gold. It was such a bright color that the entire peak of the mountain was glowing…
