Azure had not died when Cross stabbed in his eye. He did break his back, but he recovered quickly. He wanted revenge. The only way to get it was to kill Cross. He lost an eye in the process. What would he lose in the next fight? He had gone to Macau. Yun Xing and Simon Frost were going to attack Macau sooner or later so Azure had to be there if he wanted revenge. 
Shanghai, Old Power Plant 
The Chinese Resistance only had 200 soldiers left. Ever since they lost the battle in India the soldiers decreased rapidly, and still continues to decrease. At the rate, the Chinese Resistance was going The Blood Dragon Society would triumph. But Cross had a way to get the Chinese Resistance back on track. When they were in India he overheard a Blood Dragon Society member say that after they attack India they would go to Macau next and do the same exact thing they did in India. This was The Chinese Resistance's last time to prove they had the balls to go up against The Blood Dragon Society. So they had to go to Macau as well. "Orion gets the helicopters ready."  said Cross  "Why?" "We are going to Macau."
On the battlefield of Macau.
"Fire!" "A rocket blew up a Chinese Resistance truck." Cross killed 12 Blood Dragon Society soldiers with his fist. "We are winning!"
Macau Tower
Yun watched all the action happening in Macau Park. He watched the Chinese Resistance and The Blood Dragon Society kill other left and right. Yun smiled until he heard a familiar voice behind him. "Hello, Leader Yun Xing."Azure?" "You are still alive." "You said you would grant me anything once I work for you so where is my wish?" "Where is my wish?" "You just don't get it, do you?" "You failed me." "You were supposed to kill Prime Minister Arjun but I had to hire somebody from The New Generation of Outlaws." "Don't you find something wrong with that?" "So you are trying to say that I am worthless," said Azure. "Exactly," said Yun. I guess you are not a dumb fuck after all. Argh!!! Azure rushed Yun and made him crash through the window. Yun then turned the tables on him and ripped out his other eye. Ah!! You may rest again Great King Azure. He then pulled out Jon Zen's sword from out of nowhere and drives it through his chest. What a waste. You could of get your wish if you didn't decide to try to kill me. I learned a lesson. Never bring back anyone from the Dark ages never again. 
By the battlefield...
Orion ripped a blood dragon society soldier in half. He was stabbed in the gut but this did nothing to him. He ripped his jaw off and stabbed another soldier in the chest. He then punched the ground causing a sinkhole to appear making 10 Blood Dragon Society trucks fall in blowing up a killing soldier who was inside of them.

 2 helicopters then shot 4 missiles at Orion who got the full blast of the explosion. Cross then hopped in one of the helicopters breaking the pilot's neck. The helicopter spined out and it collided with the other one and both of them exploded. Cross landed perfectly on his feet like a cat. That was all of them in this specific area. "Let's go to Macau Tower." "Wait where's Sarah?" Sarah was burning the shit out of a lieutenant until his face looked like jelly. 'Sarah we are going to Macau Tower to confront Yun Xing." said Cross. "I am going to stay here and fight off the reinforcements coming this way." "Are you sure Sarah? said Cross." "Yes." "Go ahead and kill that son of a bitch." Cross smiled and ran into Macau Tower. When they entered Macau Tower blood was everywhere. It was like someone dumped a bucket of blood on the ground. Yun Xing was their killing somebody. "Don't you just love it when someone tries to reason with you when you are getting ready to kill them?" said Yun.

" They always try to bribe you with money or cars." *That what makes you just want to kill them even more." "That what you feel like I should do to all people." "Kill them all." "Every last one of them." "Humans are livestock." "All we do is eat, sleep, fuck, and shit." "That's why I want you two dead." "You are fucking livestock!!!!!"

One fateful encounter with an extraterrestrial being leaves a man named Cross with inhuman powers and abilities. What will Cross do when he finds out international criminal organizations and government agencies want to dissect him and use the powers of the being for their own evil use? Join the adventure!!!!!!!!!!

Yang Yidao, who had failed to make a breakthrough to the Fairy Realm, was shocked, and was extremely sensitive to the disastrous thunder. Seeing that the disastrous thunder was overflowing with tiny bits of disastrous thunder, Yang Yidao's heart sank abruptly.
As Yang Yidao was trembling with fear, he weaved signs with one hand instinctively, and the five balls of different colors flew out from the ring on his finger. Among the five balls, the purple ball flew in front of him and shielded him. When Yang Yidao inserted spiritual energy into the purple ball wildly, a purple light beam appeared and enshrouded him.
It was the Dry Cloud Five Elemental Formation. The formation required five persons to activate it at the same time. Hence, although the Dry Cloud Five Elemental Formation was strong, it was unable to be fully activated, and only one ball of it could be activated.
Su Yu had a calm expression, and he activated the Five Elemental Strong Thunder Seal continuously, without stopping. With a sound of the air trembling, a charm created from thunderbolts flew out from the Five Elemental Strong Thunder Seal.
The charm had the shape of a dragon, and it was only of the size of a palm. When looked at from afar, it looked like a small, nimble, and invisible five-colored dragon. However, what was different, was that the power of the disastrous thunder within the thunderbolts had made everyone feel uneasy.
"Go!" Su Yu's cold eyes looked on scornfully, and he gave a light shout. The five-colored small dragon then changed into a five-colored fragmentary shadow, and attacked.
Yang Yidao only had time to swing his knife once, and the dragon-shaped charm was shot to ten Chinese feet within him. The frightening knife energy, which could cut everything, appeared again!
The knife, which had sent the Nine Yin-Yang Formation and Purple Sun Incredible Umbrella flying easily, slashed the dragon-shaped charm. The charm could then be seen glowing, and it resisted the slash. A weak sound of dragon roaring could be heard from the charm, and it crashed into the purple light beam with a sudden bang.
Crack－
A fine cracking sound spread widely to Yang Yidao's ears, and a voice, which made everyone feel extremely terrified, could be heard. Close and numerous cracks could be seen appearing on the purple light beam. After that, with a sound of something falling onto the ground, the purple light beam was shattered into pieces!
Although the disastrous thunder charm became fifty percent dimmer, half of the power of the thunderbolts was still present. The dragon-shaped charm no longer had any obstructions, and it landed on Yang Yidao's body with a bang!
With a rumbling loud sound of thunderbolts resounding in all quarters, the remaining half thunderbolt charm burst open completely. The light of the thunder glowed, and a destructive aura spread toward all directions.
Yang Yidao was drowned within the charm, and his body was swallowed by the light of the thunder. A one-mile vicinity was enshrouded by five colors in an instant, and it was difficult to look straight at it. After some time, when everything vanished completely, on the ground that Yang Yidao was originally at, a giant hole with a diameter of thirty Chinese feet had formed.
As for Yang Yidao himself, his protective spiritual energy was torn into pieces, and his clothes were torn open, with many small openings. His flesh looked blurry, and his blood filled the ground, as it flowed along his legs.
His palm, which was holding the Blue Moon Curved Knife, shook slightly, which showed that his body was injured. However, the most frightening thing was that his right hand had the most serious injury, as it was the hand that was holding the Blue Moon Curved Knife to block the thunderbolt.
His whole arm had almost turned into mincemeat. Moreover, his index finger and middle finger were nowhere to be seen. The attack had almost taken the life of Yang Yidao.
If not for him having the ball of the Dry Cloud Five Elemental Formation to reduce fifty percent of the power of the attack, he would have already died at that very moment.
As such, he had only suffered some injuries that still were not at all light. His eyes were filled with happiness, which indicated that he had survived a disaster. However, his eyes were also filled with hatred that was deeper than the sea.
As he was spitting out blood from his mouth, he had overwhelming murderous energy: "Good! Good! Good! Having trained up till this very moment, this is the first time that someone has injured me to this extent. Even if you die, you can be proud of yourself!"
Su Yu's expression turned slightly serious. He was still not dead, even after that?
Even with a semi-manufactured spiritual artifact, he was still able to survive. How strong was that?!
According to Su Yu's calculations, even if it were Xue Ling, who had the body of the Fairy Realm, it would be impossible for him to survive. As for Yang Yidao, a Half God, who tried to make a breakthrough to the Fairy Realm, his abilities were totally different from normal Half Gods. He was so powerful, that it exceeded Su Yu's expectations.
Yang Yidao could be seen giving a ferocious shout, and he took out a bottle of elixir from his chest. After taking a look at it, Su Yu's pupils shrank: "Flesh Regeneration Elixir!"
Su Yu remembered the elixir extremely well. It could heal the injuries of people who were wounded or disabled! After raising his head and drinking the elixir completely, Yang Yidao's broken fingers grew out again with shocking speed. His injuries were also completely healed in the blink of an eye!
Su Yu was shocked. Even if it were the Flesh Regeneration Elixir, it would require ten days to half a month's time to treat the injuries and disabilities. Hence, how nature-defying was the fast and relaxing recovery, which had just occurred in front of him? Didn't that mean that, as long as Yang Yidao was still breathing, he would be undefeated?
"I have used my lifetime's savings to exchange for this Flesh Spiritual Elixir, before entering the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion, so that I will be prepared for all contingencies, such as being injured by strong enemies. However, unexpectedly, I did not come across strong enemies, and I was heavily injured by you, instead!" Yang Yidao's every word and sentence was filled with deep hatred, that was now leaking out.
"So, you can die now!!"
Yang Yidao could be seen taking a deep breath. After that, his temperament changed abruptly. Within the abundant and majestic spiritual energy, the fluctuation of vital energy actually appeared!
"Humph, although I have failed to make a breakthrough to the Fairy Realm, among the three Spiritual Energy Crystals, one had already turned into a Vital Energy Crystal! I have actually concealed it up till this very moment, with the intention of surprising strong enemies. However, I did not expect to use it on you!"
That was Yang Yidao's greatest card! He had actually hidden the fact that he had stepped into the ranks of the Fairy Realm, and had become a strong martial artist of Half Fairy!!
"Die!" Yang Yidao's eyes moved as fast as lightning, and he inserted vital energy into the Blue Moon Curved Knife that was on his palm!
The Blue Moon Curved Knife could then be seen emitting an unprecedented amount of blue light. After that, a lump of frightening knife energy, which could steal the souls of people away, burst forth like a tsunami.
At once, Su Yu felt a great spiritual pressure. He started to breath rapidly, and his expression gradually became serious. For a magical treasure that was inserted with vital energy, would its power only increase by double?
Yang Yidao caused Su Yu to feel extremely fearful all of the sudden. If it were that Xue Ling, who went head to head with Yang Yidao, he might not be Yang Yidao's opponent as well! Yang Yidao's powerfulness had exceeded Su Yu's expectation.
"Three Heaven Questioning Patterns!" An unprecedented swift and fierce divine light burst from Yang Yidao's eyes, and he swept his eyes past the area.
The long sword on his hands then ripped out a frightening knife energy that was a thousand Chinese feet long. The giant and transparent shadow of the knife looked as if it wanted to split the horizon into half.
Su Yu felt a dangerous feeling, which signified that he could die at any moment! Without thinking, Su Yu weaved signs with both his hands. He activated the Five Elemental Strong Thunder Seal forcefully, and created a thunderbolt charm.
As the disastrous thunder was used previously, the disastrous thunder that was created this time around was only half of that of the first time! However, even if it were just half, it was more than enough to injure Yang Yidao fatally again!
Rumble－
The thousand Chinese feet knife energy swept across the area and headed toward Su Yu. With a whooshing sound, the dragon-shaped charm burst into five-colored thunder arcs on the spot, and they were exterminated by the knife energy, without leaving even a tiny bit of it!
Upon seeing that, Su Yu's pupils shrank abruptly and his heart sank vigorously! The attack of a Half Fairy was extremely frightening!
Su Yu weaved signs with one hand and a layer of black-colored armor appeared. At the same time, spiritual energy surged within his body wildly, to create a spiritual armor to protect him.
With the Eternal Stone King Armor, Su Yu felt a lot more at ease at once. However, Su Yu felt icy cold at the giant opening at the chest area.
Instinct told Su Yu that he would still die from the knife attack! Su Yu's eyes glowed with coldness. In this critical moment, Su Yu was determined. He could only try that move.
Su Yu reacted, and three different colors appeared on Su Yu's body surface. Pale color, reddish green color, as well as five colors. It was the three Origins: ice, fire and thunder!
The three Origins appeared together, and became three small balls of Origins, which spiraled at the center of Su Yu's palms. Every Origin possessed a great power. If they were to explode, even Su Yu himself would suffer some injuries that were not light, and he might even perish on the spot.
However, at that very moment, Su Yu did an extremely dangerous thing! He actually brought the three Origins closer to one another, gradually! Not mentioning the violent Thunderbolt Origin, the Ice Origin and Fire Origin were Origins which could offset one another!
Even if they touched each other slightly, there was a very high possibility of them causing an explosion! If two Origins were to explode at the same time, apart from Su Yu's body being blown into smithereens, there were no other possibilities!
However, at the moment where the Ice Origin and Fire Origin were about to come into contact with one another, Su Yu took action, and inserted the Thunderbolt Origin between them abruptly. The Thunderbolt Origin had blocked both the Ice Origin and Fire Origin by being in between them.
The three balls of Origins then came together, into one, at once! Looking at it, it looked like a Buddha Pearl with three colors.
At the instant where the Thunderbolt Origin came into contact with the Ice Origin and Fire Origin, they would all become one. Suddenly, the three balls of Origins became dimmer, and tiny bits of black-colored cracks appeared on the balls. Tiny bits of destructive aura were then emitted in torrents!
Su Yu's expression turned serious: "Not good! The fusion has failed!"
Feeling that the three Origins were about to explode, Su Yu had an extremely unpleasant expression. He had originally planned to fuse the Origins and create a completely new move.
However, looking at it at the very moment, the fusion of the Origins was harder than expected. At the very moment, since the fusion had failed, the three Origins would explode!
That kind of power was enough to wipe out his body and soul completely! Su Yu's heart then beat extremely fast, and his pupils shrank, until they became tiny as a thread!
Yang Yidao, whose whole face was filled with murderous intents, also felt that various kinds of violent Origins were about to explode. When he took a look at it, he could not help but be astonished: "You are crazy! Fusing Origins. Do you wish to commit suicide?"
His face revealed a fearful expression, his eyelids were twitching wildly, and he looked extremely shocked. It was to the extent that he was more terrified at the very moment, compared to the moment where he saw the disastrous thunder!
"It is already extremely scary to fuse Origins, let alone three kinds of Origins! What a lunatic!" Yang Yidao was both furious and frightened. He withdrew his knife, which was about slash Su Yu, without hesitation, turned around, and ran away from the range of the explosion quickly!


A decision can destroy the sun, moon and stars. A finger can kill the Heavenly Overlord. While chatting, the Heaven and ten worlds can be annihilated.
A poor little kid walks out from a remote mountain area while holding the Nine Dragons and the Incredible Cauldron. With a control over the time and space eternally, he embarks on the Path to God where he defies the odds of the boundless universe gaudily by fighting against royalty and clashing with the legendary generation.

After walking for a few hours into the woods, I finally made it to the river. Parking my butt on the river bank, I put bait on the hook of my fishing pole and cast the line out. Expecting to wait at least one hour for a bite, imagine my surprise when I get one right away! Bending the pole back and reeling in as fast as I can, I feel my face go slack as I pull up the line. "What the hell? I had this much resistance from a snake scale?!" Yes that's what I thought the pure golden scale was from. Little did I know how wrong I was, because at that moment the scale unhooked itself and flew to my forehead. Next thing I knew, piercing agonizing pain unlike any I've ever had in my entire life engulfed my entire being. 



Three hours later, the knowledge I'd just recieved, the changes to my body and the pain all stopped at once. The dragon scale, yes DRAGON SCALE, fully integrated with my body and fully transformed me into a Supreme Divine Dragon. Right now I'm in my human form, and my dragon form will barely fit on my human palm. It's the size of a sparrow at the moment. However my dragon form currently has 5 times the strength of a peak strength human male. So, dealing with creatures much bigger than me will be a breeze. Up to a certain point any way.



Clenching my fist, excitement flows through me as I realize what this means. If I devour creatures stronger than me, then their strength gets added to mine. So if a bear is 10x to 20x a peak human male, then I'd be 15 to 25 times stronger then a peak strength human male after consuming the bear! This is huge! However it's a one time thing, meaning one of a species will give me its strength. So, I can't go godking power from a bunch of bears. Either way, this is still way too op! In my human form I'm 3 times stronger than a peak strength male human. This without any form of training! Now I'm no idiot, I know that there are people in the world who are still way stronger than me in either form. Therefore I can only grow stronger. After all I have unlimited time since I'm immortal now thanks to being a Supreme Divine Dragon. Now let's get a good look at my appearance. 



Standing at over 6 and a half feet tall, with silver hair down to my waist and golden iris with dragon slit pupils. Shit I look like a cosplayer! To make it worse I'm wearing my grandpa's taoist priest robes because they feel comfortable. Yeah my grandpa is Chinese, and I'm living with him and gran. My parents abandoned me as a baby and ran off to start a new life somewhere in America. My British name is Devin Merridale, coming from my dad who is a white British businessman. My mom met him in university here in China, and after I was born they fled to America of all places. The name I go by though is my Chinese one, Tian Long. Kind of fated now that I think about it. My name is what I became after all, just destiny playing out I suppose. Now that I have this power, what to do with it I wonder?

Devin Merridale was fishing in a river in the woods, when he suddenly pulled out a...

Northern China - Southern Mongolia - Mongolian Plateau - Chinese Runestone

*ROOOOOOAAAAAAAR*

"What was that?!"

Before Philip can get an answer, a wave of purple light engulfed the world, specifically the area around the Runestone.

[You have entered the Breaker Realm]

"What?! Emily! Speak to me!"

「 Wha-what? Ah yes! It seems that we entered the Breaker Realm! 」

"I can see that, but how and why?!"

As Philip asked that question, the giant Runestone that is in front of him started to crack starting from the ground up to the sky. Then, another roar echoed in the world.

*ROOOOOAAAAAAAR*

The Runestone then detached from the ground and floated up to the sky. The cracks then enlarged and the giant Runestone broke into several large parts and millions of tiny pieces.

「 It seems that the entity living within the Runestone was the one responsible for creating this realm. As to why it did that and the nature of the realm... Let me scan it. 」

[Scanning...]

Emily answered Philip's question before someting else happens within the floating debris of the Runestone. She then started to scan the realm to provide Philip with indormation regarding it and how to get out of here is push comes to shove.

Before Philip could react, a giant dragon emerged from the giant crater that the giant Runestone was once sitting on. The dragon resembles the eastern dragons, the same one as Shenron from Dragon Ball.

The only difference is that this dragon is purple in color and is ethereal, which you can almost see through the dragon as if it is made of purple glass.

The width of the dragon spanned for 200 kilometers making it extremely large! Philip was on his guard this entire time as the giant dragon flew up into the sky hovered above him as the dragon's length continue to increase.

[Scanned!]

As it is taking a while for the dragon to finish its entrance, the scanning of the realm was finished.

「 Breaker Realm. The realm of the Breaker Dragon. It separates the Breaker Realm from the real world. You could say that the Breaker Realm is the home of the Breaker Dragon where he can show its true power. Defeat the Breaker Dragon to escape the realm. 」

"Breaker Dragon?!"

「 Breaker Dragon. The dragon that is responsible for nullifying abnormal objects, events, and anomalies. 」

*ROOOOOOOAAAARR*

As Emily finished describing to Philip the Breaker Realm and the Breaker Dragon, the dragon roared as it's tail reached the sky.

"Emily, what is its length? I'm just curious."

「 I'm also curious... Scanning... It's about... 100,000 kilometers. Longer than Jörmungandr. 」

"Damn... Looks like he's hostile to me. Do I need to get serious??"

Before Philip prepared his stance to attack the dragon with all his might, he had an idea! Thinking that the dragon will only nullify his energy attacks and probably render 「 Shi-Kama Tamashī-Kiru 」 useless, why not deal physical damage to it?

"Emily, what is the maximum height that I can enlarge myself using 「 Enlarge 」?"

「 ... 」

Philip waited patiently for Emily as he thought she was scanning the 「 Enlarge 」 ability. But unknown to Philip, Emily is hesitating to tell him.

「 You sure you wanna know? 」

"Huh? Yes!"

Emily's voice seemed to have a tone of disbelief and wanted for Philip to confirm. Then, Emily dropped a bombshell.

「 Due to obtaining the variable of Universe... You can enlarge yourself to the size of the universe. That is the limit. 」

"..."

Philip was speechless at the limit of his 「 Enlarge 」 ability. If he could enlarge himself to the size of the universe, wouldn't he be able to destroy the universe by just enlarging himself?

He then removed that thought from his brain and asked Emily another question about the opposite of 「 Enlarge 」.

"E-Emily, h-how about 「 Contract 」?"

「 Due to obtaining the variable of Dimension and Space... You can contract yourself to Planck Length. 」

This second revelation almost made Philip spurt out blood. He didn't imagine that he can go that tiny. That length is going beyond even quantum.

As Philip was kneeling on the ground and covering his mouth, the Breaker Dragon looked at Philip with a dumbfounded face. Then, a vein popped on his head and roared against Philip as he felt like he was being ignored.

*ROOOOOOAAAAR*

"Geez! You're too loud!!"

[9 Gates of Wrath: 1st gate opened]

[Dragon Language learned!]

"You lowly human! How dare you ignore me when you have awoken me from my deep slumber in this new home?! Now, you will experience my wrath!!"

"What?"

Philip was surprised by the system that his 1st Gate of Wrath immediately closed. He just learned the dragon language by hearing the Breaker Dragon roar for a few times.

Before the dragon could speak again, Philip has almost recovered from his shock and began to enlarge himself.

10 feet...

20 feet...

50 meters...

100 meters...

...

1,000 kilometers

He enlarged himself to a height beyond the exosphere. He chose this height because they are in a different realm, meaning, he can't accidentally destroy the world with his step alone.

"Whoops, looks like I went overboard..."

The Breaker Dragon looked up into space where Philip's head is located. The dragon was sweating bullets even though he is ethereal and it was obvious that his body was trembling, his furious eyes from before were change into wide opened eyes full of terror.

Philip then looked down on him, then he smiled while his eyes also smiled. The dragon can't see his smile because of the ivory mask on his mouth and nose, but he could clearly see the smiles in his eyes. This made the dragon feel even more terror.

But, nonetheless, the Breaker Dragon was one of the most powerful within the 8 dragons and he put up a front against Philip. 

The dragon charged an energy blast on his mouth and launched it against Philip. The blast roared as a puplish white ethereal flame went straight into Philip's left shoulder.

As the blast touched Philip's shoulder, nothing happened, and when the blast was over, there was a slight burn mark on Philip's left shoulder.

Little did Philip and the dragon know, Philip shrunk down by 1 kilometer because of the Breaker Blast of the dragon. It just slightly negated Philip's enlargement.

Philip then wiped the burn mark off and looked at the Dragon again with a maniacal smile.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll never be arrogant again! Please forgive this ignorant and stupid dragon! Please spare me!"

The dragon roared as it flew down towards the crater where Philip's giant foot is located. The dragon then made his body as if he was kneeling down towards Philip. But then, Philip spoke with a thundering voice because of his size.

"Alright, I forgive you..."

"Master..."

The dragon looked up with wet eyes, obviously the dragon was touched. But Emily and Philip heard the dragon.

「 Master?? Pfft... 」

"Hey! Did you just laugh?!"

「 Mm...m...mm... N-no... Pftt! HAHAHAHA! 」

"And there you go, you just laughed..."

Philip then returned his attention back to the dragon.

"But before I can forgive you... I must punish you first!"

"Alright master, this dragon will accept any punish-- Bufoo!!"

Before the dragon could finish his sentence, Philip stepped hard on the dragon. Since the dragon was curled up like a ball, his size was enough to fit the entirety of Philip's foot and the dragon received the full brunt of the force of the foot.

「 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 」

Meanwhile, Emily kept on laughing.

Later on, Philip lifted his foot and the battered dragon was revealed on the foot shaped crater.

"M-m-mast--"

*BOOOOM*

"Oh god! I thought it was an oversized cockroach so I had to step on it again!"

「 Oh gosh! HAHAHAHAHA!! That's... That's ruthless!! 」

Philip then removed his foot from the dragon and the dragon had his body battered and broken and his tongue came out of his mouth as if he was dead.

Then, cracks started forming around the sky and ground. This means that the realm will be broken.

"Pretty ironic for a Breaker Realm to be broken."

Philip then contracted himself and returned back to his original height. There, the giant head of the dragon was in front of his face, unconscious and battered body.

The purple sky and ground started to form more cracks and eventually, it shattered.

The Breaker Dragon that was on the ground started to shrink while the floating debris of Runestones started to fall.

Ever since the giant Runestone floated up and broke into several large pieces and millions of tiny pieces, the original volume of the Runestone was decreased.

Because if the reason, the Runestone debris that fell covered the crater that is 300 kilometers wide and 100 kilometers deep completely. The crater became a flatland with the Runestone debris as the ground.

Philip then looked towards the Breaker Dragon that shrunk. Its size became the size of a normal snake, although, it had still retained its purplish ethereal body.

"I really have gone overboard... Emily, do I have any healing abilities?"

「 Uhmm, haha... Uhm, none, you have no healing abilities as of this moment. 」

"Seems like you have been laughing all this time, huh?!"

Philip had a vein on his forehead.

"Also, what do you mean as of now?"

「 Well, if you have retrieved Life's Sword, then you will have a healing ability. 」

"I see, then when can I find and get Life's Sword?"

「 You'll see soon enough. 」

"Okay..."

Philip stepped forward to pick up the small Breaker Dragon. He thought of keeping it as a pet since it also called him master for some reason. Who wouldn't want to have a flying small dragon around while travelling?

But when Philip touched the Breaker Dragon, it disappeared into particles.

"What?!! Noooo!!!"

Philip screamed as he lost the opportunity to have a eastern flying dragon as a pet.

"I shouldn't have beaten him so much!!! Noooo!!!!"

Philip kneeled to the ground and smashed the ground with his fist. A small crater formed around him.

[9 Gates of Wrath: 2nd gate opened]

[You have unlocked a new ability!]

[「 Summon Pet Companion 」]

[You have obtained Breaker Dragon]

Philip recovered from his annoyance and kneeled upright and looked at a distance with wide eyes full of shock.

"Wat..."

「 Oh look! You seem to have unlocked a new ability! That's it, that's it... Continue to become more powerful! P-Phil-lip... 」

Emily stuttered when she tried to say Philip's name. She tried to say Philip's name as he kept on saying her name instead of 'system'. It really looked like Philip is looking at Emily different from the system itself. Emily liked that.

"I can now summon pets and collect them?!"

Philip eyes became empty and he kept looking towards empty space.

「 Yes! And there's no limit for collecting them. 」

Philip then stood up while still looking at empty space, then he sighed.

"POKÉMON?!!!"

Philip shouted to the sky as the system gave him the ability to collect pets and summon them. He was very dumbfounded, shocked, confused, and excited by this absurdity.

"Let me summon him now. How do I summon him, Emily?

「 You just say "Summon!" Then say the name of the pet or creature you want to summon. 」

"I see, okay then... Summon! Breaker Dragon!"

Philip then heard a sound resembling the sound that is played when an answer was incorrect in certain game shows.

*EEENG*

[Breaker Dragon is severely injured. Currently healing. Time before fully healed: 00:29:34]

"Oh wow! That's good then... 30 minutes? I can wait that long."

Philip then jumped high into the sky and looked toward the giant Runestone in the distance that is northwest from his location.

"In the meanwhile... Hm?"

Before Philip could fly towards the giant Runestone in northwest, he saw six shining object in the center of where the Runestone debris and rubble fell down. He approached the shining objects.

There, he saw six spheres with the size of marbles with different colors and designs on its surface.

"What are these??"

「 Peak Quality Skin Refining Pill 」
「 Refines the skin and strengthens it. (Diamond) 」

「 Peak Quality Muscle Refining Pill 」
「 Refines the muscle and organs and strengthens it. (Obsidian) 」

「 Peak Quality Bone Refining Pill 」
「 Refines the bone and strengthens it. (Adamantium) 」

「 Refines the blood, purifies it, and emphasizes the very essence of the blood. (Superliquid) 」

「 Peak Quality Nerve Refining Pill 」
「 Refines the nerve, reconstruct it, and accelerates it. (Lightspeed) 」

「 Peak Quality Tissue Refining Pill 」
「 Refines the tissues and purifies it. 」

====================================

"What?! These are like pills that came out of Chinese novels and manhua!"

「 It seems so. 」

"But why are they here?"

「 Maybe it's because it was a drop from the Runestone or a reward for killing the Breaker Dragon? 」

"Really? What is this now, an RPG game?"

「 I don't know, but that just my theory... A gaaaamee... Ehem... 」

"..."

Philip was speechless when he heard that iconic tagline from a YouTube channel.

「 What are you going to do now? Will you eat them one by one? 」

"Of course I'll eat them, I found them first!"

He then looked to the right and to the left as if he has hiding something from the non-existent people that are watching him.

"But who says I'll be eating them one by one?!"

「 No!! You don't mean...! 」

"Yeeeees!"

He then opened his palm and placed the six marble sized pills on his palm and poured it straight into his mouth after he removed the ivory mask covering his mouth.

"Mmmm! Yummy!"

「 You madman! 」

"Look, nothing is happening! It's fine! It's probably finished refining my body.

「 ... 」

Emily was speechless from this part of Philip. Reckless and a joker. It was rare for Philip to act this way ever since. Perhaps he was excited and became reckless when he unlock the ability to summon and collects pets.

"Alright! To the next Runestone!!"

*BURP*

Philip raised his right arm and pointed to the giant Runestone northwest from his position, then he burped.

「 P-Philip? 」

Emily was getting closer to saying Philip's name without stuttering. He called his name because he stopped moving after he pointed at the giant Runestone.

Then, Philip slowly descended his right arm to his side and he fell forward face first. He lost consciousness.

The 「 Shard of Consciousness 」 then appeared on his left hand and hovered above his head while spinning and rotating slowly.

A few minutes later, a man with a tail and a staff arrived to where Philip is lying. He approached Philip and sat beside him in an Indian sitting position and he place his staff on top of his legs, then he meditated.

South China Sea

There was a man flying above the sea while heading towards the northern part of China where the Chinese Runestone is located.

It was the straw hat man that scouted the area around Manila Bay to search for the anomaly that the military from Area 52 detected.

"That energy signature was very familiar. But that signature was way more powerful from the last time I sensed it!"

The straw hat man muttered as he reached for the Breaker Collar on his neck. He pressed a button and the collar unclamped and he let it fall into the ocean.

The Breaker Collar was designed to use tiny pieces of Runestones to control superhumans from around the world. But this straw hat man easily removed his collar.

Why? He faked being captured and faked being placed a collar on his next. As to how he did it, only he knows how.

He did that to infiltrate Area 52 where his friends and comrades were currently contained. He waited for the time to break them out and destroy the collars around their necks.

Then, he felt an energy signature, the same as Area 52. He suddenly had a glimpse of hope when "he" appeared. He promised to himself that he must meet this person whatever it takes.

He then pulled a necklace from his back pocket and he tore the chain that was holding a miniature model of a sword.

As the chain was removed from the sword, he held the tiny handle and he flicked his right arm to his back and the miniature sword became a real metallic sword. He then changed it into a katana.

"I'm coming to you, Philip. Wait for me and I will tell you what they did to your best friend and to your former lover!"

Yes, he knew about Philip, his best friend Eduardo, and former lover Ysabelle. As to how he knew that she was his former lover, no one knows!

Showing his skill of manipulating a weapon and the signature straw hat, he is Smith, the Weapon Saint.

"I can't wait for those bastards to suffer!"

But then, he felt a sudden surge of energy that almost made him unable to fly. He looked towards the Chinese Runestone in the horizon.

He saw the Runestone emitting a faint purple light and he saw it started to float lightly. He then saw seven streaks of purple light fly in seven directions where, roughly, the other seven Runestones are located.

"I need to hurry up!"

Smith boosted forward to fly faster towards the Chinese Runestone.

A man with a business attire was sitting on his office while writing.

It was Doom.

He was still wearing his shades even though he's indoors.

Moments later, he suddenly looked forward as if he was shocked that something appeared in front of him.

He immediately stood up and stormed out of his office. He brisk walked towards the horseshoe containment wing while he ignored the staff and personnel that was looking at him weirdly.

If the people saw his eyes that are under the shades, they could see his eyes brimming with red light and red streaks are forming around his eyes like cracks. Ultimately, the people can't see this because of the shades that is hiding his eyes.

After a few minutes, he entered the middle containment unit in the horseshoe containment wing and closed the door behind him.

He walked forward to a containment tube and observed the person that was inside of it while she wa sleeping.

Inside the tube was a naked woman with purple skin and white hair, with white streamlines on his body and metallic wings resembling those in Gundam. Well, the woman was not actually naked as the purple skin of hers acted like futuristic clothes. One of the perks of this superhuman.

He removed his eyeglasses and stared intently at her. His eyes started to emit a suffocating energy anda vibrating sound echoed around the containment unit.

The woman inside started trembling and shaking and then, a green aura immediately enveloped her.

"Why can't I conquer her?! I was supposed to be more powerful than her!!"

He then left the containment unit and head outside of Area 52 in the open space. He then looked towards the direction of the Chinese Runestone.

"Perhaps it was nothing."

He then head back towards his office.

Synopsis update: 5

In the darkness, Lu Shu sat on the stool, watching the Fallen Lizard be consumed by the divine water. During this process, the water was growing rapidly in size.
It was unknown how long the lizard had been trapped here, but the long time had blunted its powers. Otherwise, its defeat would not have been so easy.
The speed of erosion gradually slowed down, as if the Fallen Lizard had mustered all its remaining energy in resistance. Yet, at that instant, the corrosion accelerated again as the resistance faded!
"From the Fallen Lizard's distress, +1000!"
This time, Lu Shu could confirm that the lizard was dead. It proved that his rash decision to venture deep into the cavern was worth it, and his divine water did not let him down either.
If all his magical weapons could be as powerful as the divine water and the chaos snake, Lu Shu would jump in joy. Could he be considered as a lake-level expert now? Even a small lake could still be counted as a lake, couldn't it…
Suddenly, the chaos snake sprang into the divine water from Lu Shu's shoulder. Lu Shu looked at his snake with a pampering smile, as if it was his own son…
In the next instant, however, Lu Shu realized something was wrong and to his surprise, the chaos snake was sucking the divine water, fused with the black fog, into its mouth.
Despite its small build, the divine water was being siphoned into its tiny mouth at an incredible speed!
"Wait a minute!" Lu Shu jumped to his feet in astonishment. "What are you doing!"
He rushed forward to catch the snake, but the latter avoided him agilely in the water while continuing the siphoning…
In less than ten minutes, Lu Shu's divine water had shrunk back to the size of a swimming pool, and the snake showed no sign of stopping!
Lu Shu hurled his stool towards the snake, but it was soon corroded by the divine water too…
Lu Shu roared in desperation, "I just praised you! Why can't you take compliments? Don't you dare copy other holy artifacts! Can you please be more reliable?"
"Stop! Save some for me!"
"Hey! I said STOP!"
"Damn you…"
What about the lake-size divine water? What about setting up his stage wherever he was? That was so unexpected!
The chaos snake continued siphoning the water like a black hole. At this moment, Lu Shu noticed that the snake scales were getting clearer, and its fangs sharper.
In the next second, the snake suddenly grew in size, and a pair of horns emerged from its head.
It seemed that claws were breaking out of its skin too. The chaos snake was undergoing an internal transformation of its body!
Finally, there were no drops of the divine water left, but the chaos snake seemed to be in agony and unable to complete its transformation. Lu Shu gasped in shock.
Brother, don't die!
At this moment, a white figure flew out of the Cheng Ying sword in Lu Shu's grip. Hai Gongzi hovered midair, his gaze on the chaos snake cold as ice. "The blood of the evil dragon."
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. "Don't you dare attack it! Lay a finger on it and you are my enemy!"
In Lu Shu's opinion, Hai Gongzi, a pure-blood descendant of the dragons, would definitely despise the chaos snake, who had the so-called "blood of the evil dragon". Hence, he was genuinely worried if the life of his snake would be ended under Hai Gongzi's sword.
Yet, he was certain that the chaos snake was changing into a dragon!
What was a dragon? The most sacred creature in the ancient Chinese mythology. Be it a Panlong or an evil one, Lu Shu would be one of the most powerful practitioners in the world if he had a dragon.
In reality, Hai Gongzi did not draw his sword against what Lu Shu had expected. Instead, he picked a purple lotus petal from between his brows and let it float towards the snake.
Upon contact with the petal, Lu Shu could sense that the snake was finally freed from its struggle. Horns and four legs emerged from its skin, but there were only four talons on each leg.
Lu Shu was silent for a long moment. "So you helped it because you were getting impatient?"
Hai Gongzi cast Lu Shu a frosty stare.
"From Ao Hai's distress, +999!"
Lu Shu fought hard against his urge to laugh. My friend, your OCD is incurable…
"Speaking of which, in your world, aren't evil dragons bad? Why did you help it?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"The internal matters of our Dragon Clan are none of your human beings' business. You call it bad? Is good and bad absolute in this world? Ignorant," Hai Gongzi taunted.
Then Lu Shu understood. The Dragon Clan was a rather close family, and even evil dragons were still dragons, just like distant relatives were still considered relatives…
"There are two types of Jiaolong[1]. After years of cultivation, they will develop into either evil spirits or dragons. If one chooses the latter, it will have to undergo a tougher journey. Hence, the majority opts for the former. Therefore, why shouldn't I help it, if it has the courage and was only one step away from completion?" Hai Gongzi said, followed by a sneer, "But, you…"
"Right, understood." Lu Shu summoned Hai Gongzi back into the sword before he could finish speaking. He had had enough of Hai Gongzi's arrogant face.
But Lu Shu could not understand why the transformation into a dragon was more difficult. Didn't his snake do so simply by siphoning his divine water?!
Now, it seemed inappropriate yet again to call it "the chaos snake", and "Chaos" would be a better name. Things were constantly changing and Lu Shu could never predict what was going to happen next. In order to save the trouble of renaming the snake, it would be better to dwell on an easier name… Lu Shu observed Chaos, whose snake skin was cracking bit by bit, and it had been fast asleep since the reception of the petal.
Lu Shu recalled Chaos to his Seal of Lands for its slow transformation, and he was ready to get out of the cavern.
Walking forward, Lu Shu eyed the remaining four golden pillars, wondering if they were magical weapons that could trap anyone he wanted to.
At this moment, Lu Shu heard thunder rumbling overhead. It was so loud that he could feel the thunder rolling over his heart.
All of a sudden, everyone on the ground saw a flash of purple, dragon-looking lightning, striking towards the surface. It was the most magnificent they had ever seen.
Chen Zuan mumbled after a moment of shock, "Don't tell me Brother Shu has been struck by lightning because of karma!"

[1] An aquatic dragon in Chinese mythology, but different from the traditional Chinese dragon


Magical energy has come to this world; Lu Shu could only stare as one powerhouse after another appear.

Looking at his own peculiar ability, he exhaled a breath of cold air.

Dog balls!

...

This is a story of how Lu Shu used poisonous chicken soup to become the Demon King

Translator Synopsis:

This is the story of an orphan, Lu Shu. He is not any regular orphan, but a metahuman experiencing the changes in himself, his country and the world during the dawn of the magical era. Watch as Lu Shu embarks on a journey to hone his peculiar abilities together with his sister, the adorable and charismatic Lu Xiaoyu. Along the way, they’ll encounter supernatural events, obstacles and even the most powerful people in their country. How will Lu Shu make the best of his abilities and oust his never-ending list of rivals and opponents?

Old Tie felt his heart trembling as he stood on the ground and watched the Primordial Diabolical Bull charge straight through the skies.
Right now, he was only aware of one thing: the massive Primordial Diabolical Bull's charge. 
Gonggong had smashed his head into the Buzhou Mountain! [1. According to Ancient Chinese Mythology, when the Chinese God of Water Gonggong lost to the Chinese God of Fire, he smashed his head against the Buzhou Mountain, a pillar that held up the sky, thus damaging it and causing the sky and earth to tilt, which resulted in great floods and suffering.] 
Suddenly, Old Tie remembered an ancient story he had heard. The gallop of the Primordial Diabolical Bull contained a boundless power akin to smashing into the Buzhou Mountain.
In comparison to the Primordial Diabolical Bull, Luo Yunyang seemed like a speck of dust…
It was the same technique and the same strike, yet this time the might increased tenfold. If it was not for the attribute regulator, Luo Yunyang would only have one technique to use against the rampaging bull charging straight at him.
He would only have been able to run as far away as he could!
The ferocious bull rushed over in a frenzy. When it was several hundred meters away, Luo Yunyang unleashed the Mighty Sky Dragon's Mark against the bull's body.
The Mighty Sky Dragon was already incomparably powerful on its own. However, now that it had been converged into a mark and combined with the fusion of Luo Yunyang's god-grade essence flames, the instant it struck, it also contained an immensely powerful, immeasurable blaze.
"Based on the power levels of these two, if any of these attacks were to strike Shen'du's walls, the city's defenses would be completely blown away!" Zhuge Yi speculated. He was one of the founding members of Shen'du's defense system, so he knew it like the back of his hand.
A single strike would break down Shen'du's defenses. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Nobody said anything else afterwards. Most people were quietly watching the shaky footage on the screen. They saw how terrifying the exchange between the two strong ultimate powerhouses had gotten.
As a loud crash reverberated, it seemed like the sky was ripping apart. The rampaging bull's body had collided with the Mighty Sky Dragon's Mark. 
Before it was attacked, the Primordial Diabolical Bull had still been thinking of charging forward.
The power contained in its blood was already aroused, so the bull definitely wouldn't retreat.
However, that strike was so powerful that it seemed to turn the world on its head. Even the force of the Primordial Diabolical Bull's Trampling Galaxy was stopped.
BOOM!
The bull's body landed heavily on the earth like a comet crashing down.
The Primordial Diabolical Bull let out a savage cry. Its eyes were already blood-red, and its power appeared to increase.
In an instant, the black bull was a massive blood-red bull. Its eyes were blazing like the sun, while a crystal the size of a fist had appeared between them.
Luo Yunyang was stunned when he saw that crystal. He suddenly recalled an excerpt from the Heaven-Battling Ape-Dragon Chart.
"It's using a Heavenly Source Stone!"
All the cultivation techniques in the Heaven-Battling Ape-Dragon Chart had annotations. One of the most important annotations was that if the search for essence flames and divine waters proved difficult, one could search for a Heavenly Source Stone.
A Heavenly Source Stone could reverse attributes, turn essence flames into divine waters and vice versa.
However, these weren't the main functions of the Heavenly Source Stone. Its most important use was to increase a martialist's vital energy absorption rate and purify blood. The use of a Heavenly Source Stone in combat could raise the power of blood multiple times. 
Right now, the Primordial Diabolical Bull was probably using a Heavenly Source Stone to raise the power within its own blood. 
When he thought about the harm the bull would do to the Heavenly Source Stone, Luo Yunyang was pissed. Such an important object was something that could only be discovered, not sought. The fact that the Primordial Diabolical Bull was wasting it in such a manner was simply unforgivable.
"Put down my Heavenly Source Stone!" 
The Primordial Diabolical Bull froze. It had never expected to hear such a thing while it was using the Heavenly Source Stone it had been saving for so long.
This Heavenly Source Stone was clearly its possession. It was an object that had allowed the bull to ascend from an ordinary dire beast to its current state.
How the hell had it become Luo Yunyang's?
The Primordial Diabolical Bull charged once again without any explanation. This time, blood-red stars appeared around its four giant blood-red hooves.
Meanwhile, a vague blood-red path appeared beneath its legs.
This strange path, which didn't seem to exist, led all the way under Luo Yunyang's feet.
When he saw the bull frantically charging at him, Luo Yunyang didn't hesitate. He moved his palms the same way again and unleashed the Mighty Sky Dragon's Mark.
However, when the Mighty Sky Dragon appeared behind Luo Yunyang, he didn't immediately form a mark. Instead, he adjusted his attribute regulator quickly and converted all his Power Attribute Points into Moon Power.
Suddenly, a giant arm appeared on the formidable Mighty Sky Dragon. It was an incomparably dark arm that seemed to cover the sky.
Meanwhile, the body of the Mighty Sky Dragon changed greatly. Its coarse waist and body were like those of a huge ape.
This was the First Ape-Dragon Variation!
Given Luo Yunyang's current cultivation level and the fact that only his Sun Power had reached god-grade boundaries, he shouldn't have been able to unleash the First Ape-Dragon Variation.
However, thanks to his attribute regulator and the conversion of flame power into frigid ice, Luo Yunyang was able to unleash this simple Ape-Dragon Variation.
The transformation of the Mighty Sky Dragon into the Sky-Ripping Violent Ape allowed the power of the Violent Ape to increase tenfold in an instant. 
This had been Luo Yunyang's most important reason for coming to the Sky Scar Stronghold.
As he had waited for the Primordial Diabolical Bull's impending arrival, Luo Yunyang had used the shadow of the Dragon's Head and Ape's Body to unleash the Ape-Dragon Variation against the Primordial Diabolical Bull.
By the time his palm had gotten close to the Primordial Diabolical Bull, it was about 30 meters wide. However, compared to the massive bull, it was still tiny.
Despite its size, when his palm struck, the Primordial Diabolical Bull was sent flying.
There was no resistance or sluggishness. Luo Yunyang had moved his hand as normally as if he was just swatting away a fly.
The bull fell to the ground once more and stared at Luo Yunyang fearfully, Although that strike hadn't hurt his steel-like body much, it had made it feel extremely terrified.
If it continued to stay there, it would definitely die.
This was the only thought on the bull's mind. Thus, after glaring at Luo Yunyang, it moved its legs and streaked towards the huge dimensional fracture like a black flash of lightning.
The Primordial Diabolical Bull had fled!
Luo Yunyang looked a little anxious as he watched the bull enter the dimensional fracture.
Although he didn't give a damn about the fate of the Primordial Diabolical Bull, he certainly couldn't abandon the stone.
"Give me back my Divine Stone!" As soon as the power of the Ape-Dragon Variation dissipated, Luo Yunyang chased after the Primordial Diabolical Bull.


Violet skies, a world undergoing massive changes, a deficient moon, interlinking voids...
When the world experienced a cataclysmic event,the majority of living things died right away. Although humanity survived by hiding in the last safe zones, humans had to face mutated dire beasts and colossal source beasts that could break through the space barrier and enter the earth at any second.
Luo Yunyang, a young man who grew up in those calamitous times, obtained an attribute regulator and set out to walk the path of supremacy!

Servant Fu was a middle-aged man. His name was weird, but he hadn't had a choice. Back when he had been sold to Golden Roc Castle, the steward had named the servants with characters from the Thousand Character Classic(1. Thousand Character Classic is a Chinese poem used as a primer for teaching Chinese characters to children from the sixth century onward) in the order that those characters appeared in in the book. When it was his turn, the character that was supposed to assigned to him was "Fu"(2. Fu in Chinese means women). Servant Fu, who hadn't been able to speak the Central Plains Chinese yet at that time, had dociley accepted his new name, mistaking the laughs of those around him as a nice gesture.
After he learned Central Plains Chinese and realized what kind of place Golden Roc Castle was, he had even less courage to request a new name.
Like most of the other servants, Servant Fu advanced very slowly in his professional career. And it was not until he was in his forties that he finally managed to get a slightly decent position: purchasing outdated cosmetics.
He could barely collect any profit in this job, and the only perk was a monthly opportunity to go downhill into southern Jade City where he could spend his petty salary finding some comfort in inferior wine.
As a result, when five shiny silver ingots were offered to him, he immediately decided to betray the castle. Apart from the temptation of money, the things that he had to provide were not confidential at all in his opinion. "How… How much is this?"
"Each ingot weighs ten taels. There are fifty taels in total," Xu Xiaoyi said with a smile. Now, he was a rich merchant who had a strong curiosity for information and who was willing to buy some inside information at the cost of some small amount of money.
Servant Fu swallowed hard, trying hard to imagine how much of his favorite wine he could buy with this large sum of money. After quite a while, he collected himself, lowered his head, and moved his eyes away from those silver ingots before saying in a somewhat timid tone, "I saw the Waning Moon Hall break into the inner chamber with my own eyes, and they killed everybody in sight. My legs still quiver every time I think of that scene. That Master Commander – I can barely mention her name. I need a moment to collect myself."
After taking another quick glance at the silver ingots on the table, Servant Fu regained some of his courage. "She walked towards me, and I thought that I was about to be killed. But she didn't even give a glance at me. Someone suddenly sprang out of the ground, but she was not afraid at all. With a single palm strike… No, with a single finger, that guy was killed. And then the King Lord walked over… "
"You saw the King Lord?"
"I didn't. How dare I look at him? Besides, the King Lord was behind me, and I knelt down on the snowy ground the moment the King Lord spoke."
"What did the King Lord say?"
"Give me a moment… Let me imitate his tone for you." In order to provide something worthy of those five silver ingots, Servant Fu spared no effort in his retelling. "'This is the first time that I've ever seen someone who's not a member of the Shangguan Family manage to reach the level of dispersing internal energy in the cultivation of the Daoless Divine Power.' Then she said, 'I'm not as good as the King Lord. I missed… a couple of chapters.' He responded, 'You want to use… the Dead Body Swordsmanship to narrow the gap?' Then she said, 'I want to fight with you to prove it.'"
Servant Fu was trying very hard, but he still added some of his own interpretations into the dialogue, which made it sound less and less like the original conversation between the Unique King and Lotus.
Xu Xiaoyi knew the limits of money. It could bring him information, but it could also bring him lies. A man like Servant Fu wasn't inclined to lie, but in order to please his employer, he would say anything. To make it worse, he didn't know the difference between the truth and lies at all.
Xu Xiaoyi didn't want to encourage this kind of inclination, so he interrupted Servant Fu's imitations and bluntly asked, "Did the Master Commander fight with the Unique King?"
"I don't know."
"Weren't you there?"
"But my head was buried in snow, and I didn't see anything. The Master Commander and the King Lord didn't talk much afterwards. Uh, I heard some sounds. It sounded as if they were fighting. They must have been fighting. Yes, they fought each other. The fight was really intense. I even thought that the stone castle was going to collapse at some points. That was a really rare scene… "
"Who won?"
"The King Lord, of course. The Master Commander is just a woman. I don't mean to degrade her, but how could she compare with the King Lord? She lost, so she pleaded for mercy and then requested a truce."
"You heard them talking about a truce?"
"Somebody else told me this. When I raised my head, the Master Commander and the King Lord had already left. But I'm not making this up. Everyone in the castle says that the Master Commander admired the King Lord's matchless kung fu skills, and that the King Lord also admitted that it was not easy for a woman to become this proficient in kung fu, so he decided to spare her. Did you know that the Waning Moon Hall actually used to be affiliated with Golden Roc Castle?"
Servant Fu intended to talk more about this rumor, but the rich employer became uninterested at this point. "That's enough. Take the silver and go have some fun. I'm a little tired and I want to rest."
Servant Fu answered "Yes" repeatedly and stared at those silver ingots for quite a while, as if he couldn't believe that they now belonged to him. He suddenly stretched out his arms, wrapped them around the silver ingots, and then held them like he would a newborn baby as he ran out.
Xu Xiaoyi shook his head, mumbling, "I hope that he has enough self-control to not spend the money too fast. If the killers found out… Never mind. It doesn't concern me anymore. Somebody get me the next guest!"
Zeng Jian was in his sixties but still very robust. Upon entering the room, he vigilantly looked around and seemed to be very concerned about the inner room, the doorway of which was covered by a curtain formed of beads.
He was a killer who had retired from Golden Roc Castle many years ago, but he had never let go of his former habits.
Pointing at the five big silver ingots on the table, Xu Xiaoyi said with a smile, "These are yours. Those in there are mine."
Zeng Jian was an experienced man who had seen much of the world when he was young, so he barely paid any attention to the five hundred taels of silver. "I know that you work for the Dragon King. Please tell him that I'm not here for the money."
Xu Xiaoyi widened his eyes, as if he were humiliated, with one hand still on the silver ingots. "If you're not here for money, then please leave here the same way you came. There's only money here, no Dragon King. I don't have time to send messages for you."
Zeng Jian stared at the stout rich merchant coldly. He knew that this merchant was in disguise. Suddenly, he said, "A few old fellow killers and I were the first batch of people to rush into the inner chamber to help out. Those young killers were running around like headless chickens trying to stop those insignificant minions. A Sabrelord ordered us to stand by where we were."
"So you didn't see the kung fu competition between the Master Commander and the Unique King?"
"I did, but it doesn't count as a kung fu competition. Lotus threw a palm strike. The King Lord exchanged a move with her. And then they both stopped moving. That's it."
"And what happened next?"
"Lotus and the King Lord each brought three men and went to a nearby separate courtyard. We were still outside confronting the Waning Moon Hall's men, so we didn't see what happened in there."
"Surely you heard something about it afterwards, right? Didn't three people go inside?"
"I'm only telling you what I saw with my own eyes. With regards to those rumors, you can buy as many as you want with a lot less money."
Zeng Jian believed that he had offered enough information, so he fished out a piece of black cloth, wrapped it around the five silver ingots, and put it inside the waist of his clothes while also drooping his arms to make the bump less obtrusive.
"Hu Shining knows my name. The Dragon King may ask him about what kind of man I am."
"I told you…" before Xu Xiaoyi could finish speaking, the old killer had already turned around and started walking towards the doorway. "Wait."
"What else do you want to know? I've already told you everything that I saw."
"You said that you saw the Master Commander and the Unique King exchange a palm strike."
"Um. Many people saw it."
"You put it too simply. What kind of palm strike? Which one of them seemed to have the upper hand? You're a killer. You should have noticed some of the details, which is what I am paying for."
Zeng Jian hesitated for a while. "Lotus surprised me," he said, but there was no surprise in his face. "Neither she nor the King Lord made any fancy moves. They attacked each other head-on, and they were competing in terms of internal energy. I have to admit that Lotus' internal energy is far more powerful than that of any killer in the castle given that she managed to stay unharmed after exchanging a palm strike with the King Lord. However, it was still very wise of her to agree to a truce. The King Lord has practiced kung fu for decades. No matter how weird her secret arts are, by no means can she surpass him in such a short time."
"How good do you think Lotus is compared to the Green-faced killers?"
"I don't judge people I've neither seen nor dealt with."
Zeng Jian pushed the door open and left without even saying goodbye. He was old enough, and though he retained some of his killer habits, he had lost his killer mindset, which was why he wasn't willing to pledge his heart and blood to anybody anymore. He had rushed into the inner chamber to offer help, but after he didn't receive the reward that he deserved, he had chosen to get the reward by himself in another way.
The old killer regarded these five hundred taels of silver as what the stone castle owed him.
Xu Xiaoyi turned his head back, glanced at the inner room, fished another five silver ingots out of a chest beside his feet, and then shouted out, "Next!"
His surname was Shangguan and his given name was Yinghao. He was in his thirties, the prime of his life. Since he was neither distantly nor closely related to the Unique King, he had been given a position in the White Clothes Yard. From an outsiders' eyes, he was one of the Unique King's henchmen.
A high price had been paid to bribe a man like him. If it were before the battle of Thousand Horsemen Pass, Xu Xiaoyi wouldn't even have tried. Even now, with thousands of troops stationed outside the city, he still had to place five flawless gold ingots on the table.
"The Dragon King said that he wouldn't necessarily kill all the members of the Shangguan family, so as long as you don't make an enemy of the Dragon King, there's no need for you to be afraid of him. And if you're willing to offer the Dragon Army some help, then you can even become our friend." It was unnecessary for Xu Xiaoyi to deny that he was the Dragon King's subordinate. No merchant, however rich they were, would be able to bribe Shangguan Yinghao.
"I'm not a traitor." Shangguan Yinghao was sitting opposite Xu Xiaoyi. He was the only one of the three guests who had sat down on this chair, "I heard that the Dragon King is still the Dragon King, and that he is uninterested in the Unique King's title."
"Um. The Dragon King is indeed uninterested, but there are a lot of other people who are." Xu Xiaoyi dropped a faint hint.
But Shangguan Yinghao didn't disclose his ambition. "I'll be okay with it as long as the title of the Unique King still belongs to a member of the Shangguan Family. The King Lord… is old. His kung fu is improving, but his judgement is getting worse. A pedantic teacher that the King Lord trusts has dedicated himself to chasing illusory fame, convincing the King Lord to breach the commandment that has been followed by the people of the stone castle for over a hundred years: abandon the tradition of assassination, downsize the killer army, and change the stone castle drastically. The White Clothes Yard used to be one of the most important areas of the stone castle, but now it has been sidelined, and we have all became common lackeys. I'm trying to stop the destruction of the castle, so I'm not a traitor. It is the King Lord and Zhang Ji who have betrayed the stone castle."
Xu Xiaoyi was in frequent contact with the people of Golden Roc Castle. Among all the excuses that people had given when they sold intelligence to him, this was the most righteous one he had ever heard. Admiration spontaneously rose within him, and he took another five gold ingots out of the chest besides his feet. "You followed the Unique King into the courtyard and saw everything?"
Shangguan Yinghao's eyes were not on those gold ingots. "Mm. Lotus had another kung fu competition with the King Lord in the courtyard. This time, they exchanged three palm strikes. Then the King Lord said, 'Both of us will suffer if this competition continues, and the Dragon King will be the only one benefiting.' Lotus said, 'That's true. What's the point of causing destruction to both our sides? Waning Moon Hall just wants an acknowledged identity.'"
"And then what?"
"The negotiator was Zhang Ji, not me," Shangguan Yinghao said in a jealous tone. In most cases, jealousy was more effective than greed in motivating people to take risks.
"If you had to make a judgement, then which one's kung fu do you think is better – the Master Commander's or the Unique King's?"
"One of them is the Unique King whose name is known to everybody in the Western Regions. The other one is a killer who betrayed and fled from the stone castle to become the Master Commander of the Waning Moon Hall which has been decaying for many years. You tell me which one of them is better. But the King Lord was unable to kill Lotus on the spot. Instead, he let an enemy, the first one to intrude into the castle for decades, leave unharmed. Judging from this fact alone, he suffered an overwhelming defeat."
Shangguan Yinghao had no qualms about taking all ten gold ingots. He believed that he deserved them.
Gu Shenwei walked out of the inner room. There was no need for Xu Xiaoyi to retell the stories, as Gu Shenwei had heard all the conversations. "It seems that they were both seriously wounded."
"Really? So Shangguan Yinghao deliberately hid the truth? Then I wasted five hundred taels of gold."
"What he said was probably true from his viewpoint. It was Lotus and the Unique King who hid the truth."
Gu Shenwei was now certain that under only one circumstance would two people, both of whom always tried to kill each and every one of their enemies during a battle, stop fighting.
He believed that the wounded Lotus was probably close to finding a compelling reason for cooperating with the Dragon King.


Born into a wealthy family, Gu Shenwei was spoiled and carefree. However, at the age of 14, his entire family were brutally murdered, and he was caught by some bandits who sold him into slavery. As a slave boy, he entered Golden Roc Fort by chance and found the man who had slaughtered his family. He endured insults and worked hard to improve his kung fu while working as a slave boy. He learned from and plotted against his enemy under the enemy’s nose. He became increasingly ambitious as he became more and more powerful. He would only be satisfied if he completely destroyed his enemy—by fair means or foul. Gradually his bitter experience turned him into a totally different person. 
This is a kung fu fiction that is full of mysteries and surprises. This is a story dealing with love, betrayals and distances. This is the journey of an ordinary boy who, against all odds, fought against formidable foes. This is a tale regarding a person who felt abandoned by the world made unremitting efforts to create a new world of his own, in which he was alone.
