Cen's POV: 

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." sabi nya at nagsmirk ng nakakagoosebumps.

Napakapamilyar ng smirk na yan. Parang smirk ni Master.

Ngeks! Ang imposible naman na siya si Master eh kasing cold ng yelo yun. Eh si Ate ang kulit.

"Tss. Whatever Ate Sha."

"Malalaman mo rin. Haha. Nga pala, alam mo ba na may meaning ang balat natin?"

"Talaga? Natin? Meron ka rin?"

"Yup, actually hindi lang yan basta balat. Observe little sis."

Kumuha siya ng tubig na nakahanda sa lamesa, itinaas nya ang manggas ng coat niya. Nandyan pala ang balat nya. Binuhusan niya yon ng tubig at...

"Woah." yun lang ang nasabi ko.

Nagcrack yung balat ni Ate Sha at nireveal nito ang isang tattoo.

"Imperious Gang Heiress?" natanong ko. Anong ibig sabihin nun?

"Yes Lux. Ako ang tagapagmana ng Imperious Gang. Pero nakikita mo naman sa tattoo na hindi siya kumpleto. Putol ang dragon na nakaukit dito. Ulo lang at kalahating bahagi lang ang nakalagay. Alam mo ba kung bakit?" 

Oo nga putol nga. Bakit nga ba putol? Naubusan ba sila ng pampatattoo?

"Hindi eh." nasagot ko nalang.

"Dahil ang kaputol nito ay nasa sayo." sabi niya at lumapit sakin habang may hawak na baso ng tubig. Hinawi niya ang buhok sa batok ko at pinahiran ito ng tubig.

Naramdaman ko na kumirot yung batok ko. Pero hindi naman masyadong masakit.

Kumuha si ate ng cellphone at pinicturan ito.

"See?" sabi niya habang pinapakita sakin yung picture.

"Woah. Ang astig. Nasa sakin nga yung kaputol." 

Nakalagay kasi sa tattoo ko yung "Imperious Gang Heiress" at ang buntot ng dragon.

"Hindi lang yan Lux. Bago mo malaman ang isa pang sikreto ng balat natin. Ikukwento ko muna sayo ang kwentong may kaugnay dito. Ang history ng Imperious Gang." 

Nakinig naman ako. Sa tono kasi ni Ate Sha, parang mahalaga ang sasabihin niya. Siyempre bilang isa sa tagapagmana ng Gang, kailangan ko tong malaman.

"Ang mga Hindarkan which is ang mga angkan ni Lola Zhi Wang Hindarkan, ay ang pinakamakapangyarihang angkan sa buong China. Dahil dito, maraming mga mayayamang angkan ang naiinggit sa kanila, lalong-lalo na ang ang angkan ng Daizhi. Palagi nila itong kakumpetensya sa larangan ng pakikipagkalakalan at negosyo. Maging ang kanilang mga anak ay magkakumpetensya sa paaralan. Lalong umigting ang inggit ng Daizhi kina Lola nang palihim. Kaya kinaibigan nila ang mga Hindarkan para maisagawa nila ang maitim nilang balak." 

"Ang sama naman nila." 

"Oo Lux. Pero syempre hindi sila nagtagumpay dahil nalaman ito nina Lola dahil matagal na pala silang may spy sa mga Daizhi. At doon na nagsimula ang opisyal na hidwaan sa mga Hindarkan at Daizhi."

"Anong connect nyan Ate Sha sa balat natin?" 

"Makinig ka nalang little sis. Ok, so nagsimula na nga ang gera. At noong panahon na yon ay may mga scientists from Russia na nandayuhan sa China. At dahil isang magiting na scientist and historian si Daddy, nakasama siya sa grupo ng Russia. Pero nakasama rin ang anak ng mga Daizhi na si Wu Yi Zhang. Pero mas close si Daddy sa mga Leaders ng group. Hanggang sa isang araw, nakagawa sila ng isang pendant na kumukontrol sa lahat ng elements ng mundo, maliban sa gold. Ang pendant na to ay hugis bilog na may nakaukit na Dragon sa loob, dragon ang inukit nila kasi iyon ang pinakamaswerteng hayop para sa mga Chinese. Gayunpaman, may masamang epekto ito. Noong panahong iyon, 1% palang ang capacity ng pendant na ito na mag-absorb ng elements sa mundo. Gumawa sila Daddy ng isang formula na pampaboost ng pag-absorb ng pendant sa elements. Natapos nila ito when Dad is at the age of 20. Sinubukan nila ito pero nagkaroon ito ng masamang epekto. Naging 20% na ang capacity nito at nagsimula nang mang-absorb ng elements. Nagulo ang environment ng isang maliit na bayan sa China ng panahon na yun kaya dali-dali silang gumawa ng pampadeactivate sa pendant. Natapos nila ito ng tatlong buwan pero sa kasamaang palad, naging 50% na ang capacity nito at malaki na ang pinsala dahil umabot na ito sa upper part ng Beijing."

"So ibig sabihin ate, sa tuwing nag-aabsorb ng element ang pendant, tumataas ang capacity nito?" 

"Oo Lux. Pero dahil sa formula nila Daddy, naging stable na ang capacity ngayon. Nanatili ito sa 50%." 

"Buti naman. Wala ng problema." 

"Hindi Lux. 4 years later, nag-asawa si Daddy. At naipanganak ako nung taong iyon. A year later, nabuntis ulit si Mommy at naipanganak ka. We live peaceful that time hanggang sa nagdalawang taon ka. Doon na nagsimula ang trahedya. Dahil sa pagkagahaman ni Wu Yi Zhang sa kapangyarihan, ninakaw niya ang pendant. Gusto niyang gamitin ang pendant para pagharian ang mundo. Pero hindi nya alam na hindi pala ito activated kaya hindi ito gumana. Mabuti na lang at natago nila Daddy ang mga formulas. Ang pampaabsorb at pampadeactivate. Nalaman ni Wu Yi Zhang na na kay Daddy ang formulas. Kaya siya gumawa ng plano. Dahil noong panahong iyon ay nauso ang gangsters, gumawa rin si Wu Yi Zhang ng Gang para mapadali ang trabaho, Ang Heartless Gang." 

"Siya ang founder ng Heartless Gang?" 

"Oo. Nagsimulang mamayagpag ang Gang. Dahil sa yaman at connections nina Mommy't Daddy, nalaman nila ang balak ni Wu Yi Zhang bago pa man nila tayo magambala. Doon nagawa ang Imperious Gang." 

Napatango na lang ako kay Ate.

"Ito ang pinakarason kung bakit nila nilikha ang mga gang, pero tago ang rason na ito. Dahil kapag nalaman ito ng iba pang gang sa buong mundo, panigurado, magkakaroon ng World War 3."

Napasinghap naman ako sa sinabi ni Ate.

"Kaya tinago nila ang objective nila sa "Pagpatay sa mga sobrang samang tao na hindi kayang tugisin ng otoridad". Pero ang Heartless Gang ay iba ang objective, ang "Magkaroon ng mga ilegal na negosyo para mas mapalawak pa nila ang kapangyarihan nila". At dahil din yun sa formula. Nang maitatag na nga ang Imperious Gang, doon lang rin ni Daddy nalaman ang pakay ni Wu Yi Zhang sa pendant kaya noong mga panahong iyon, nag-isip ni Daddy kung paano nya maitatago ang formulas. Naisuggest ni Mommy na iturok ang mga formulas sa kanilang dalawa pero hindi pumayag si Daddy. Ayon kasi sa kanya, madali itong malalaman ni Wu Yi Zhang at mas lalo na rin kung itatago lang ito sa isang bagay. Kaya ang ginawa nila, tinurok nila ito satin."

Literal akong napanganga sa sinabi ni Ate.

"What?! Ibig sabihin nananalaytay sa dugo natin ang mga formulas?" 

"Oo Lux. Nasa sa akin ang deactivater at nasa sayo ang pampaabsorb."

"Hala? Ba't sakin pa yung delikado?! Ang daya naman." at nagpout ako.

"Hindi ko alam Lux. Pero I'm sure na Mom and Dad has better plans sa formulas. Ayun nga, nung panahon na. Sinugod ang mansyon natin ng Heartless Gang. Five years old ka na nun, bale 3 years nang nakikipaglaban sina Mommy sa Gang nila. Kaya nagsawa na rin sila. Sinakripisyo na lang nila ang sarili nila para matapos ang gulo at tantanan na nila tayo. Pero nagkamali sila ng desisyon. Kasi kahit na sinakripisyo nila ang buhay nila, hindi pa rin tumigil ang gulo." 

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang irereact ko. 

"So all those times na we were happy, eh nakikipaglaban sina Daddy't Mommy sa Heartless Gang pero they're acting in front of us like there's nothing wrong. I'm so numb ate!"

"No Lux, we are numb."

Di ko na napigilan ang pagtulo ng mga luha ko, niyakap ako ni Ate.

"Sige lang little sis, ilabas mo lang. Let those tears be your motivation for a revenge. Vengeance for our parents."

"I promise ate. After this, hindi na ako iiyak. I will train harder to be the best gangster beside you of course. And get revenge ate. We will get revenge."

Vicar felt the bright sun(even though he can't feel anything) and walked deeper into the heart of the forest. After a while, he heard some noises. He used his jelly body to jump onto one of the branches to hide.

Vicar identified the noises, it was General Silvester and his squad members. He saw that all looked like westerners until he noticed a guy in the back carrying all the camping and weapon equipment, he looked like an average Chinese man. Vicar followed to the group for a while, and during this time learned a bit about them, there was General Silvester, Mage Sophia, Tanker Derrick, and Archer Lin Min. The archer was the Chinese guy and the one Vicar was most interested in. 

Vicar was at first confused "How can I understand them, they don't seem to be Cantonese?" 

The Great Sage system answered "Through magic sense, you can focus on the intent of the words allowing you to understand what they are saying"

Vicar understood, even though he didn't know why that worked exactly, he later asked "System, can you scan the guy, Lin Min?" 

The System responded, "Lin Min is a summon, he was brought to this world by a summoner, by the knowledge given by Midderas I have concluded that he has somehow temporarily escaped from his Summoners hand, but will die in 30mins."

Vicar shouted to himself "WHAT, he's gonna die?" 

The system then responded, "Yes, that is what I said, are you, okay sir?"

Vicar felt a bit of sympathy as he is a somewhat similar situation as Lin Min, but he wouldn't get too attached.

The system all of a sudden said "He has a tattoo of time, if I can get my hands on that, I can improve your physique to a time-oriented one, and we can gain the laws of time, my calculation conclude that Lin Min was a failed experiment by the summoner to understand the laws of time, due to the failure the time Lin Min experiences is way faster than his body can handle causing him to die younger, If I can analyze the time tattoo, I can fix the mistakes."

Vicar then felt even worse, but he occasionally read the Wuxia novels that were famous and he knew almost every novel had the quote, "The strong rule and the weak fear." or something like that. 

15 minutes before Lin Min dies, General Silvester decided to rest for a while, so Lin Min set up the equipment and set a fire, all the while everyone else was sitting on the grass and having fun.

Vicar scowled, underneath his facade a little upset "It seems that they aren't fond of Lin Min, is it because he is eastern? Whatever, not my problem."

After 15 more minutes, Lin Min was laying in his tent when all of a sudden he passed away, no one even noticed he died, well no one except Vicar Tempest. 

He snuck into the tent with Lin Min dead and absorbed him using the God Devourer skill. After a minute the system spoke, "The tattoo has been analyzed, updating stats table."

Vicar saw the option to transform into a human and immediately transformed, Vicar grew taller, and he had actual skin instead of slime, and he was very much naked. 

Vicar spoke, "System use Magic Sense to look at self."

System answered "Activating Magic Sense, 3rd person mode."

Vicar looked up and down, he now looked like a shorter younger version of Lin Min except, he had no gender, Vicar was shocked, he didn't have his tower of babel anymore, inside he started crying. 

Vicar was now androgynous, but he still identified as a male. Vicar wore the clothing Lin Min was wearing, it was a little bit too big due to him shrinking a little. 

After walking out of the tent, the Mage Sophia looked at him and shouted with shock "LIN MIN?"

The others also looked at Vicar with puzzled expressions. Then he realized why, Vicar was too busy about his missing... body part... that he forgot, his hair turned blue like the color of him as a slime. 

Vicar tried to explain "Uhhh, I dyed my hair, do you like it?"

General Silvester gave a chilling stare and drew his sword, he asked: "Who are you and what did you do with the archer slave?" 

Vicar knew he wouldn't get out of this situation so easily and transformed back into a Slime "Sir I am just a slime, the person in the tent died suddenly so I ate him which allowed me to transform into him."

General Silvester slid the sword back in the holster and ordered Mage Sophia, "Sophia, capture this slime, it might be useful for the kingdoms experiments, there have never been any reports of talking slimes."

Mage Sophia nodded her head towards the General, she then looked at Vicar and shouted "Ice Prison!!!" 

A blue magic circle appeared under Vicar, a burst of ice formed and started to freeze Vicar. 

Vicar started mumbling "It is too early for me to die, I can't why is everything going white, this is really the end, wait I don't feel anything."

The system spoke "You have cold resistance, you will not feel any pain from the cold as long as it is only a wide range of attack and not a targeted attack. As the Great Sage System, I have the power to analyze almost anything, due to Ice Prison being a low-end spell I could instantly analyze it but higher grade spells are a bit more difficult." 

Mage Sophia, thinking that the slime was frozen, stopped the spell, inside the block of ice Vicar looked lifeless. General Silvester looked at the slime in confusion "I thought it would be a little more powerful, is Lin Min that weak that he was killed by this slime, Sophia..."

General Silvester was about to say something when a crack appeared on the ice, it shattered open and Vicar showed a pouting face (even though he doesn't have a face), and Vicar growled "That was rude, how could you try and capture me without even trying to communicate, it seems I have to teach you some manners?"  

General Silvester and the 2 didn't take anything seriously, slimes are the weakest monsters, and how powerful could this one be.

In the air, the flow of mana distorted as a black cloud appeared above the slime, Sophia was the first to notice it due to her being a mage, then General Silvester and Tanker Derrick also felt it. They tried to block but they were too late, a black lightning struck from the sky and gathered above Vicar.

Actually, the Black Lightning was supposed to intimidate the group before he used the Paralyzing Poison Breath, but it seemed the lightning was too much and they passed out by just its presence. 

He asked the system "The lightning wasn't this powerful in the cave, what is going on?"  

The system answered "In the cave, it was closed meaning you had to use your own mana to create the lightning, also there was a lightning inhibition spell, most likely of Midderas. Due to these 2 factors, it is much more powerful here."

Vicar scoffed "So this isn't my fault, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

The System answered, "I cannot answer or speak without a question. But you can set presets if you like, you can set presets in the setting menu in the top right corner of the stat menu."

Vicar stopped talking to the system and started talking to himself "Man, this timing is amazing, first the weakened Dragon that brought the law of lightning and now the law of time from eating a weak human, amazing, maybe I should get out of here with the law of time."

He turned into the human form and lifted his hand, the law of time started to rotate around him, his mana depleted instantly as in an instant he reached a nearby town, Vicar didn't teleport, he built up a time pocket dimension using all of his mana and actually over drafting and reached the town. Leaving behind the General, Mage, and Tanker in the forest, still passed out.

A teenage boy who is a professional assassin and gamer gets shot in killed in a gang fight. He thinks it is the end but he suddenly feels something, although he isn't sure at the moment what it is, he will now explore this new world and learn about what the hell is going on.

Isang madilim at maingay na lugar, pribado at illegal, patayan at walang kinakaawaan. Mundong puro dugo ang makikita, mga ngisi sa bawat labi ang nagsisilbing ngiti, malademonyong halakhak ang maririnig sa bawat pagtawa.

Sa ilalim ng lupa ang lokasyon, walang nakakaalam kundi ang mga taong tinanggalan ng puso doon. Mga taong kamatayan ang paboritong palabas, na sa lugar lang na iyon matatagpuan. They aren't a HUMAN, they are DEMONS. 

Isang magarbong palakpakan ang lumukob sa Underground dahil sa pagdating ng kanilang pinuno. Madalas man o bihira ang pagdalaw nito ay espesyal pa din sa mga taong naroroon, kaya naman bawat araw na darating ito ay mayroong inihahandang regalo ang mga Allied. Tinatawag na 'Allied' ang mga taong kasapi at miyembro ng kupunan sa samahan.

They are the Dark Dragons. Walang halong ibang grupo kundi sila lang at puro. Bawat isa sa kanila ay may mga marka. They have a tattoo on their arms, the dragon tattoo was designed uniquely.

The dragon was occupying half of their arms. Sa unang tingin ay parang ahas ang pagkakadisenyo, dahil sa hugis 's' na pagkakalagay. Hindi lang basta dragon ang tattoo nila dahil ang kaliskis ng dragon ay mga talim ng kutsilyo. Ang dalawang linya na nakakabit sa magkabilaang parte ng ilong nito ay latigo. At ang mga mata ng dragon ay mata ng mga agila. 

Sa itsura pa lang ay halata na hindi madali ang makapasok sa grupo ng Dark Dragons. Hindi din basta makokopya ang tattoo dahil pulido at hindi halata na iba ang tekstura ng mga marka nila. Dahil kung hindi ito tititignan ng mabuti ay isa lamang itong normal na dragon. 

Lalo na sa mga nakakaranggo, dahil kapag napasama ka sa sampung ranggo, tatatakan ka sa likod. Sa rank 10, tattoo na '十' ang nakalagay sa bandang baywang sa likod. Tama lang ang laki at hindi masyadong maliit, ang 'shi' o '十' ay nangangahulugang ten sa chinese.

Dahil sa pataas ng pataas ang ranggo ay palala din ng palala ang gagamiting pang-ukit sa ranggo at marka sa likod. Tulad na lang sa rank 1, ang Dexter. Nadaanan at naranasan niya ang lahat ng klase ng pag-ukit ng ranggo sa kaniyang buong katawan, tulad na lang pagpaso gamit ang tinunaw na bakal sa dibdib niya noong nasa ika-tatlong ranggo na siya. 

Paghiwa gamit ang pinainit na kutsilyo sa kaliwang braso, nang makatungtong siya sa ikalawang ranggo. At paglatigo ng may mga tinik, hindi maaaring tumigil ang punisher-- and dating rank 1, hangga't hindi natatapos ang bilang ng isang daang hampas. 

Pagkatapos ay ang pag-ukit ng malaking 'X' sa likuran nito gamit ang lagari. Kaya naman bago makarating sa posisyon ng unang ranggo, ay paniguradong mahabang paghihirap at pagdurusa ang mararanasan.

Ang mga Allied, o mas madaling sabihin na mga normal na miyembro o walang ranggo, and kadalasang pain at laruan.

Meron lamang hanggang sampung ranggo. Ang rank 1 ang pinakamalakas, o ang tinatawag na Dexter. Ang dexter ang kanang kamay ng pinuno, at lahat sila ay nagnanasa na maging kanang kamay niya.

Dahil ang dexter ang nagiging kalahating katawan o katauhan ng pinuno. Kapag wala ang pinuno nila ay siya ang humahawak sa grupo at nagpapatakbo nito, siya din ang kadalasang nakakasama ng pinuno nila sa lahat ng pagkakataon.

"Greetings to our Superior!" Anang Chain, ang rank 10. Ang nasa panghuling rank ang gumaganap na announcer sa clan. Lahat din sila may kaniya-kaniyang code names, dahil nasa batas din nila iyon.

Lahat ng tao ay yumukod sa pagdaan ng superior nila sa gitna kung saan may nakahandang itim na carpet. Kung titignan ay parang isang malawak na hotel na pinagdarausan ng isang magarbong selebrasyon. Mayroong malaking stage sa gitna at sa likod nito ay may isang upuan na hitik sa disenyo. May isang rebulto ng itim na dragon sa likurang bahagi ng upuan na kapareho ng tattoo ng bawat miyembro.

Nang maka-upo na ang superior nila sa kinauupuan nito ay sabay-sabay na tumayo ang lahat. "Welcome Back Superior!"

Bati ng lahat, hindi umimiik ang superior. Ang rank 10 na si Chain at nagtungo sa gitna ngunit ito'y nakatagilid upang hindi nito matalikuran ang superior na naka-upo sa kaniyang likuran.

Sa puwesto ng superior ay kita nito ang kabuuan simula sa stage hanggang sa mga audience. Ang rank 9 hanggang rank 2 naman ay nasa bandang tabi ng stage, medyo may kalayuan lang ng kaunti. 

Ang dexter naman ay nasa may tabi ng superior. Ngunit hindi ganoon kalapit. "As a gift to our superior, we prepare five allied to perform and entertain."

Umakyat na sa stage ang limang kalalakihan, ang dalawa dito ay bagong recruit at ang tatlo naman ay hindi. "We have two new comers and three allied. They will perform on the stage, and of course to play. But to have a thrill, they will be playing using their hands, without punching nor kicking."

Dahil sa sinabi ng ni Chain ay halata ang pagkagulat sa mga mata ng limang lalaki sa harapan. 

Chain smirked as he continued, "Ang hindi sumunod sa rules ay alam na ang mangyayari, and take note, there's only ONE person will survive or else ALL of you will face the most memorable death."

The five men are now thinking how they kill each other without breaking the rule. Especially the new comers who just stepped by in their clan. 

"And the battle... BEGINS!" Umatras si chain habang nilingon ang superior at yumukod.

Nagsimula ng kumuha ng mga buwelo ang lima at nagpapakiramdaman kung sino ang mauuna. Kaya naman naglakas ng loob ang isang bagong dating at ito ang unang sumugod sa isang allied.

Dahil nga sa ipinagbawal ang pagsuntok at pagsipa sa pagpatay ay sinubukan nitong hulihin ang kamay nito. Nagsimula na ding sumugod ang iba.

Ang isang allied na walang nakalaban dahil siya ang panglima, ginamit niya iyong paraan upang tulungan-- hindi... upang MAKAPATAY ng isa.

Nang makita niya na ikinukulong ng isang new comer ang isang allied sa kaniyang mga braso upang hindi ito makahinga, ay agad niya itong nilapitan at nagtungo sa likod ng new comer na hawak-hawak ngayon ang isang allied na sinasakal niya.

Nang hindi siya nito mapansin ay agad niyang itinaas ang kaniyang mga kamay upang ibaon ang kaniyang daliri sa mata nito. 

"A-ah!"

Bago pa man siya mahawakan ay agad nitong dinukot ang mga mata nito upang tuluyan ng mabulag. Nabitawan ng isang new comer ang allied at napahawak sa mga mata niya. Humihiyaw ito sa sakit at namimilipit, habang nakikita nitong walang laban ang lalaki ay umupo ito upang mapantayan niya ito.

Sapilitan niyang tinggal ang mga kamay nito na nakahawak sa dumudugo na nitong mga mata. Nanghihina na ito dahil sa dami ng dugo ang nawala. 

Dahil sa butas na at wala ng mata ang lalaki, madali nitong ipinasok ang mga daliri sa loob ng mata niya-- lagayan ng mga niya at kalikutin ang loob nito. 

Pinagkalas-kalas niya at pinaglaruan ang looban ng mata nito hanggang sa mawalan ito ng buhay. Madali na namatay ang lalaki dahil sa pati ang utak na malapit sa mata nito ay kinalikot niya at ginamitan ng kuko upang kutkutin ang malambot na utak nito.

Matapos mapatay ang isang bagong allied ay nilingon nito ang paligid saktong sa paglingon nito ay may nagpasok ng daliri sa kaniyang tainga na para bang gusto itong sundutin hanggang dulo. 

Hinawakan niya ang kamay nito ngunit mabilis na nakagalaw ang kanang kamay ng isang allied at nadapuan ang kanang mata niya. Hinayaan na niya na masugatan ang tainga niya huwag lang siya mawalan ng mata.

Humarap siyang naka-upo sa taong gustong pumatay sa kaniya, upang maiiwas ang mata niya. Ngunit sa ginawa niya ay nakakuha ng pagkakataon ang allied at tinukod nito ang noo niyo sanhi ng kaniyang pagkahilo.

"M-madaya!" Nginisihan lang siya ng lalaki

"Walang sinabing hindi puwedeng manukod." at sa sinabing ito ng lalaki ay tinukod niyang muli ito.

Napahiga siya kaya naman ginamit itong paraan ng allied upang patayin siya. 

Iniupo niya ang nahihilong lalaki, sinuportahan niya ang likuran nito upang hindi mahulog. Pagkatapos ay ibinuka niya ang bibig nito at hinawakan ang itaas na panga ng lalaki. 

Ganoon din sa ibabang panga, buong lakas niyang inihiwalay ang bibig nito. Sinubukan siyang pigilan ng lalaki kaya naman inlihis niya ang isang binti niya upang piratin ang hinaharap nito.

Humiyaw ang allied ngunit nabitin ito ng makalas na niya ang bibig nito. Tumalsik ang napakaraming malapot na likido sa mukha niya, hindi niya ito alintana at pinunasan lang ito na parang dumi na dapat tanggalin.

Napansin niyang napatay na din pala ng isang new comer ang isa pang allied. Ngayon ay laban na sa pagitan ng allied at new comer.

Bago pa man sila mag-umpisang maglaban ay umakyat na si Chain (rank 10) sa stage. "Halt!"

Natigil ang dalawa sa sigaw nito, nang makarating na ulit sa gitna si chain ay nginisihan nito ang dalawa. "Nice match!" 

"Dahil kayo na lang ang natitira, bagohin na natin ang mechanics." May dalawang allied na nag-akyat ng dalawang itim na bag.

"As you can see, we have two bags here. One of those bags has a thing that can kill... and the other one is, can eat." Ngumiti ng matamis si Chain sa dalawang kalahok

"It was a 50/50 match, so I'll give you five seconds to choose." Anito at nagsimula ng magbilang.

"Five..."

Agad na pinagmasdan ng dalawa ang mga itim na bag na dala ng mga allied. 

"Four...."

Ngunit kahit saan nila tignan ay parehong-pareho ang itsura ng mga ito.

"Three..."

Hindi sila makapag-isp ng maayos dahil malamang sa malamang ay mamatay ang isa sa kanila kapag mali ang tinuro at pinili nila.

"Two..."

Papalit palit sila ng tingin sa dalawang bag.

"One..."

Basta na lang nila tinuro na magkasalungat ang bag. Ang allied ay pinili ang nasa kanang bahagi, habang ang new comer naman ay ang nasa kaliwa.

"Kring! Time is up! Mukhang may napili na kayo." Parehong nanlalamig ang mga kamay ng dalawa dahil hindi sila sigurado sa nakuha nila.

Tumabi sa kanila ang dalawang allied upang makuha ang laman ng bag na napili nila. "Paunahan ah, dapat sabay niyong ilalabas ang laman ng bag na iyan."

Napalunok sila ng tignan ang bag na napili nila. "Sige sa bilang na isa, simulan niyo na."

Inihanda na nila ang kamay nila sa paghugot ng laman ng bag. 

"Isa!" 

Mabilis nilang inilabas ang laman ng bag, malambot na bagay ang nakuha ng new comer kaya naman sigurado siyang mamatay na siya.

*Bang*

Isang putok ng baril ang umalingawngaw sa buong underground. "Woah!"

Natatawang pinagmasdan ni Chain ang lalaking nakahandusay sa sahig. "Ang tanga naman hahaha!" 

Sinabayan din siya ng tawa ng ibang allied. Tumingin naman siya sa isang lalaki na ngayon ay buhay at nakatayo. "Ang swerte mo naman."

Hindi alam ng lalaki kung ano ang sasabihin niya ng makita ang lalaking nasa sahig at duguan.

"Ang swerte mo at tanga ang nakalaban mo. Ayan tuloy, sarili niya pa ang nabaril." Natatawang ani chain sa isang new comer.

Ang new comer naman ay tulala at hindi makapaniwala na buhay siya, ang akala niya kanina ay mamamatay na siya dahil malambot na bagay ang nahawakan niya. Marshmallow kasi ang laman ng itim na bag na napili niya.

Ngunit baliktad ang pagkakahawak ng kalaban niyang allied kaya sarili nito ang nabaril niya. Dahil siguro sa sobrang taranta at kaba. "Paano ba iyan ikaw ang panalo, tanungin natin ang superior kung anong reward mo."

Humarap sila sa superior at yumukod. "Ano po ba ang magiging gantimpala ng isang bagong dating, superior?"

Itinaas ng superior ang kaniyang kanang kamay. Simbolo na papiliin kung anong kagamitan ang gusto niya, espada o baril.

Agad namang may umakyat sa stage upang papiliin ang new comer. "Ano ang pangalan mo?" Ang pangalan na tinatanong ni chain ay ang code name nito

"Phyton," anito.

"Mamili ka na ng gusto mo, tsaka pagkapili mo ng isa diyan..." tumingin si Chain sa mga allied na nasa ibaba ng stage.

"Bahala ka kung kanino mo gusto subukan iyan, depende na din sa iyo kung ilang ang gagamitin mong pagpa-praktisan." ani chain na parang wala lang.

Gumuhit naman ang takot sa mata ng mga naroroon. "Masusunod po,"

Nang makapili na si Python, isang katana ngayon ang hawak niya. Tumingin siya sa mga allied at agad na bumaba ng stage, sinaksak at pinaghihiwa niya kung sino man ang madapuan ng katana na hawak niya. Anim na allied ang namatay at ilan pa ang sugatan, nagkalat ang dugo ngunit hindi iyon alintana ng mga taga-roon. Wari ay normal na ito sa kanila.

Nang makuntento siya ay napangisi ito. Maganda ang espadang nakuha niya, hindi basta-basta dahil matalas ito. Lahat talaga ng kagamitan at ginagamit ng Dark Dragons ay pulido.

Nilingon niya ang superior, "Maraming salamat, Superior."

I'm tired of being a failure, I want to be the number one. I can do everything without consequences, because being perfect don't have any sacrificial. People will surely look up to me, and I, will look down to them. 

I am the only one who will have the rights to correction anyone's wrongs. I am the only one, and no one else but ME.

MULA sa kalangitan, nabuo ang isang higante at makakapal na ulap na umiikot-ikot. Sa gitna nito makikita ang napakalakas at walang tigil na pagsabog ng mga kidlat habang maririnig ang makatindig balahibong dagundong ng kulog. Para itong isang bunganga ng malaking halimaw na anuman sandali ay lalamon sa buong mundo.

Nagsimulang mapatingala ang mga tao sa siyudad at probinsya nang matanaw ang nakakatakot at kakaibang bagay na nabubuo sa madilim na kalangitan. Nagsimulang magkuhaan ng pictures at videos ang karamihan sa netizan sabay post sa internet. 

Isang pamilya sa loob ng sasakyan ang kasalukuyang stuck sa kahabaan ng traffic sa EDSA. Natanaw ng bunsong anak na lalaki ang kakaibang bagay sa langit, agad niya itong tinuro sa kapatid at mga magulang. Napatingala ang Daddy nila at napanganga ng malaki dahil sa nakita. Isa-isang nagsilabasan sa kani-kanilang sasakyan ang mga tao upang tumingala sa kalangitan. Bawat isa ay natutulala, kinikilabutan at nanlalaki ang mga mata.

Muling dumagundong ang nakakatakot na tunog na nagmumula sa sentro ng higanteng ulap. Ilang sandali pa at nagsimulang yumanig ang buong Pilipinas. Isang napakalakas na earthquake ang tumama sa bansa na nagbigay ng takot sa lahat. 

Sa loob ng isang business center kung saan marami ang call center companies. Nabasag ang mga nakasabit na kagamitan, nagpatay sindi ang ilaw, nag-crack ang mga dingding at malakas na nagsigawan ang mga empleyado. May nagtago sa ilalim ng lamesa sa kanilang cubicle, may na-stuck sa comfort room, at marami ang nagpanic at tumakabo sa fire exit/

Napakabilis na nag-crack ang semantadong daanan sa kahabaan ng EDSA na tila ahas na nagmamahaling gumapang. Nagsimulang magiba ang mga nagtataasang estalishment sa paligid. Walang ibang maririnig kundi ang malalakas na iyakan at hiyawan.

Nagkagulo ang lahat. Nagpapanic na bumaba ng mga sasakyan ang mga tao na stuck sa traffic dahil sa bilis nang pag-crack ng lupa, may mga sasakyan na nahulog sa sirang concrete. Tumunog ang maiingay na busina at nagkaroon ng malaking stampede.

Nagiba ang mga over pass na bumagsak sa mga dumadaang sasakyan. Tumumba ang mga poste at nagkabuhol-buhol ang mga electric wires dahilan upang markuryente ang mga civilian na dumadaan. 

Isang rumaragasang truck na may bitbit na malaking tangke ng 'inflamble' ang umiwas sa malaking crack sa semento. Nawalan ng kontol sa manibela ang driver at dire-diretso itong sumalpok sa hilera ng sasakyan. Sumabog ang nakakatakot na apoy na tumupok sa maraming civilian.

Ramdam maging sa ibang parte ng mundo ang kaguluhan. Inatake ang Japan ng napakalakas na bagyo dahilan ng mabilis na pag-apaw ng mga dam at ilog. Tila naging dagat ang buong Tokyo.

Sa China, umulan ng malalaking bloke ng yelo, marami ang tinamaan at nasugatan. Nagkaroon ng matinding sand storm sa Dubai. Nagkagulo ang mga wild animals sa Africa at sabay-sabay na tumakbo palabas ng gubat.

Muling naging aktibo ang iba't ibang bulkan sa iba't ibang bansa at sumabog ang mga kumukulong lava. Sinugod ng mga higanteng tornado ang buong South America na sumira sa lahat ng bahay na matatamaan nito. Dinala ng malakas na hangin ang mga bubong, poste, sasakyan at kung anu-anu pa. Nagkaroon ng napakalaking at higanteng tsunami sa Singapore at Malaysia. Mabilis na tumakbo ang mga tao pero huli na ang lahat at nilamon ng galit na tubig ang dalawang bansa.

Naramdaman ng buong mundo ang 'Armageddon'

"ITO NA ANG KATAPUSAN NATING LAHAT!!! MAGSISI NA KAYO SA INYONG MGA KASALANAN!!! ITO NA ANG MATINDING GALIT NIYA!!!" patuloy sa pag-sigaw ang matandang baliw habang nakatingala ito sa langit at umiiyak.

Hanggang sa kastilyo ni Lucas ay ramdam ang napakalakas na lindol, unti-unti nang nawawasak ang malaking kaharian, nilamon ng lupa ang buong first wing. Tumatapon ang mga debris. Maraming anghel at demonyo ang nadaganan nang mga bumabagsak na pader at bato.

Sa kabila nang matinding kaguluhan ay hinanap ni Night si Lexine. Natagpuan niya ito sa second floor habang nanghihina, may tama sa tiyan at hindi paawat ang dugo.

"Lexine!!!"

Agad niyang hinagkan ang asawa. Nanlalaki ang mata niya sa dami ng dugo na nakikita, "Lexine… please, hold on baby."

"N-night… p-pigilan mo s-si L-lucifer," bulong ni Lexine sa nahihirapang boses.

Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Night ang kamay niya, "Baby, hold on, please hold on."

Inangat ni Lexine ang kamay at hinaplos ang pisngi ng asawa, "O-our d-daughter… she d-deserves a future… our world d-deserves a f-future."

Naiintidihan ni Night ang nais ipahiwatig ni Lexine. Hindi dito matatapos ang buong mundo. Hindi kailanman mananaig ang kasamaan. 

Madiin na hinagkan ni Night ang noo ng asawa. Saka ito sunod na hinalikan sa labi nang mas madiin at mas matagal na para bang dito siya humihigop ng lakas upang patuloy na lumaban. 

"I promise, our daughter will have a happy and brighter future."

Maingat na inupo ni Night si Lexine sa pader at muli itong siniil ng halik. Naglakad siya patungo sa kinaroroonan ni Lucas. 

Naiwan si Lexine na pinagmamasdan ang likuran ng asawa na maglaho sa harapan niya.

Patuloy sa kabaliwan si Lucifer at ang espada nito. Patuloy din sa pagyanig ang buong kastilyo at mabilis itong nagigiba. Kumilos ang mga Arkanghel upang iligtas ang lahat.  

Samantala, patuloy na nakikipaglaban si Miyu kay Winter. Gamit ang kapangyarihan ni Miyu, nagapos niya ang paa at kamay ni Winter gamit ang umiilaw na kadena. Hinumpas niya ang dalawang daliri at lumutang sa hangin si Ayesha saka ito lumipad patungo sa kanya.

Nagsisigaw sa galit si Winter, nakawala ito sa mga kadena at handa nang sugurin si Miyu pero isang espada ang lumusot sa dibdib nito. Sa likuran nito nakatayo si Elijah. Natumba si Winter sa sahig at binawian ng buhay. 

Agad niyakap ni Elijah si Miyu at Ayesha, "We need to get out of here."

"Si Lexine, Night at ang iba pa?" nababahalang tanong ni Miyu.

"Cael is looking for her, Night, I believe he was about to end this war."

Hindi namamalayan ni Lucifer na unti-unting naglalakad palapit sa kanya ang prinsipe ng dilim. 

Pailalim na tumingin si Night sa kinamumuhiang ama. Ngayon gabi, matatapos na ang kasamaan nito. Para sa kanyang asawa, anak, mga kaibigan at sa buong mundo.

Inangat ni Night ang kanang pulsuhan kung saan nakasuot ang fairy tears. He will now unleashed his biggest beast.

"Vanagloria!" 

Gumuhit ang asul na liwanag sa kabuuan ng malaking 'chinese dragon' tattoo na sumasakop sa. kabuuan ng likuran ni Night. Kasabay nito na umilaw ang kanyang mata. Hinila ni Night ang fairy tears sa kanyang pulsuhan at tuluyang nasira ang protection nito. 

Muling nabuhay ang pinakamalaking halimaw sa kanyang kalooban.  Binalot ng itim na ugat ang buo niyang katawan na umabot hanggang sa mukha. Umitim ang kanyang mga mata. 

Natigil si Lucifer nang maramdaman ang malakas na presensya sa kanyang likuran. Lumingon siya at nakita ang pagbabagong anyo ng prinsipe ng dilim.

Mula sa tattoo ni Night, lumabas ang isang itim at higanteng chinese dragon. Humiyaw ito ng ubod ng lakas na dumagdag sa pagyanig ng kapaligiran.

Lumipad sa ibabaw ni Night ang katawan nito natila mala-anaconda na haba. Nanlilisik ang umiilaw na asul nitong mga mata, may dalawang matutulis at higanteng sungay sa ulo, malalaki ang nakakatakot na pangil at nababalot ng sumasayaw na asul na apoy ang kabuuan ng katawan.

Napangiti ng malaki si Lucas, "The true form of the Prince of darkness is finally here."

A sweet yet painful kiss tied Lexine’s soul in the hands of the prince of darkness. Sa gabi ng kanyang thirteenth birthday ay namatay siya at muling nabuhay. Seven years forward, and she’s now living her perfect life to the fullest. She has everything she could ask for: a successful career, a great circle of friends at nag-iisang tagapagmana ng yaman ng abuelo niya. 

Ngunit ang perpekto niyang mundo ay mabilis na bumaliktad sa pagdating ng isang misteryosong lalaking nagtatago sa itim na hood at nababalot ng mga kakaibang tattoos. May sinisingil itong kabayaran sa kasunduan nila pitong taon na ang nakalilipas, isang bagay na hindi na niya maalala.

Paano tatakasan ni Lexine ang lalaking ito? Lalo na’t hindi lang pala buhay niya ang nasa panganib. Dahil maging puso niya ay gusto nitong angkinin.

"Lou Cheng wins!"
When he heard the announcement from the referee and saw the image shown above, the host in the broadcasting room of the TV studio heaved an emotional sigh and said,
"If only the weakening effects of Empress Luo's Dark Force were slightly weaker, the winner today would be Liang Yifan."
Lou Cheng clearly showed that he was exhausted and his actions were slowed. If Liang Yifan could have grabbed onto this opportunity and not given him the opening to use simplified Wholeness Formula, things would be completely different.
It's a shame that Liang Yifan was at his limits, too. Busy with a counterattack, he wasn't even able to execute a Force Concentration. He had to first catch his breath and regulate himself.
Seeing that the host didn't try to mask his inclination, the guest commentator, He Xiaowei, shook his head and said, "There's indeed the luck factor. Lou Cheng's injuries were limited to his left shoulder, while the weakening effects from the Dark Force on Liang Yifan spread throughout his entire body. You couldn't rely on this match to determine anything. Once a problem arose, there was still a problem remaining. However, there's that saying, 'The strong have better luck'. The match today was the best proof of it."
"This isn't to say that experts are treated better by the gods, unless they have a similar supernatural ability. Rather, it's about grabbing onto the opportune moment when it arises. If Lou Cheng hadn't attacked frantically without regard for himself in order to pin down Liang Yifan so he couldn't catch his breath, how was he able to force the problems of his opponent to be revealed first? How was he able to come back from the edge of defeat and turn the tables?"
"Let's not forget that he intentionally revealed his intention to go for a prolonged battle. This greatly misguided Liang Yifan…hmm... And misguided me."
In front of everyone, the host didn't try to retort but simply sighed,
"It's no wonder that Physical Invulnerability experts all believe that, although Lou Cheng's strength isn't quite there yet, his practical fighting ability is truly super-class. However, considering his battle style, lingering injuries will eventually accumulate and have strong negative impacts on his body. He will, at most, be able to take part in two titled competitions a year."
"There's no way around it, since he's challenging those stronger than him. When his strength catches up with his performance by the end of this year or the next, it will be a completely different story," complimented He Xiaowei, feeling a little emotional as well.
The host nodded his head before laughing,
"Oh Xiaowei, why are you so happy that Liang Yifan lost? Didn't you bet that if he didn't win a title in three years, you'd tattoo a tortoise on your head?"
"When did I say that I'd tattoo a tortoise?" He Xiaowei rubbed his bald head and returned the question jokingly. After which, he continued, "I said I had high hopes of him winning a title in the next three years, not that he'd be successful in this year's Warrior Sage Battle. Just take a look at God-Slaying Saber, who's in peak condition and doing extremely well. Take a look at the Kirin, who hasn't suffered any grave injuries and has the strength to be right behind the Legendary Twins. Take a look again at Dragon King, who's had an easy line-up. Even if Liang Yifan was to make it to the top four, he'd only be playing fiddle for the rest." 
"That's true." The host nodded his head slightly before continuing, "One can expect the semi-finals and finals to be really intense. Both sides will likely be severely injured. Luckily, the winner won't challenge Warrior Sage directly, but will have two months to recover and recuperate. Otherwise, it would be too unfair."
The elimination rounds of the five supreme national title competitions and the final Challenge Round were conducted separately to ensure that the title winner truly deserved it. Just like the Battle of the Kings, the preliminaries were held from late August to early September. The elimination rounds to decide the challenger would be held in the first two weeks of December, and the final Challenge Round was a best-out-of-three series held at the end of March and beginning of April the following year. Each year, the Inter-University Martial Arts Nationals started after the new Battle King was determined.
The Inhuman preliminaries for Warrior Sage Battle were held in late January this year. The elimination rounds were now through the first two weeks of May. The final Challenge Round would be held in the middle of July. 
In this process, there was the elimination round of Kirin Battle towards the end of June to the beginning of July. In order to be in tip-top condition for the Warrior Sage Battle, the two contestants for the final Challenge Round often chose to give up this Kirin title, unless either of them already held the title of Kirin. This caused the Kirin Battle to be less interesting.
As for the remaining titled matches, the preliminaries for Master Battle were in late June, the elimination round was in late October to early November, and the final Challenge Round was during the Chinese New Year. The preliminaries for the Supreme Class Battle were in November, the elimination round was in January, and the final round-robin match between the top four started before the professional league after the Chinese New Year to determine the Supreme Class. The schedule was tightest during this period. The Inhuman preliminaries for Kirin Battle were held towards the end of April and the Final Challenge Round was held in September.
"Yeah," He Xiaowei seconded.
... 
Lou Cheng's fan forum.
After getting wildly excited for a while, Eternal Nightfall, Yan Xiaoling, said,
"[clenched fist] The final stretch of my time at university is truly satisfying and will be worth remembering. It's truly, truly, truly amazing!"
Not only did she pass her internship, she also received a job offer. In addition, Lou Cheng had a superb performance and defeated several super-class experts consecutively as he advanced to the semi-finals of the Warrior Sage Battle.
At this point, she couldn't help but look shyly at the messages on the forum. She knew that the reason she got a great job weren't just because of Miss Shu Rui's recommendation. It was also because she was the forum starter of Lou Cheng's fan forum.
It was now totally different from before, when there was only Brahman and her in this forum. Now it was one of the few major forums with immense traffic flow.
Seeing her satisfied sigh, Unparalleled Dragon King teased,
"Nicely said! However, I have a question to ask. It's already more than halfway into May. Your final year report, or should I say your key to graduation, is it ready? I'm not too sure what it's called in your major. To sum up, have you completed all your assignments?" 
"Don't ask about that…" Yan Xiaoling was wordless for some time before replying. "Let me finish watching the Warrior Sage Battle happily before thinking about that. Let me enjoy this day! Haha, senior could be considered fifth in the Nation right? Fifth among all these experts!"
As she spoke, she got excited once again.
"He might not just be fifth!" Brahman shook her head and emphasized.
"It's alright to say that now…" Road to the Arena appeared out of nowhere and answered.
Unparalleled Dragon King said,
"Next year this time, he might very well deserve the name…"
Others seconded this idea and discussed the topic fervently. The thread instantly had several tens of additional pages.
...
Lou Cheng caught his breath and extended his hand over to Liang Yifan to help him up.
Liang Yifan didn't reject the offer and grabbed onto Lou Cheng's hand. After standing up, he was disappointed and disheartened, but not gloomy and emotional. He gave Lou Cheng a thumbs up and said,
"You are indeed the better one today."
"I'm a little luckier," answered Lou Cheng humbly.
Liang Yifan shook his head with a smile, staggered out of the pothole and left the arena for his personal resting room. At the door, he saw Queen of Thought, Fei Dan waiting.
"I got you some medicine to treat burns and frost." The alluring Queen of Thought said with a faint smile.
"I'm actually fine." Liang Yifan caught his breath before pushing open the door to his room.
Fei Dan followed behind and casually asked,
"How are you feeling now?"
"A little disappointed. If I was able to determine his motive accurately and use Wholeness Formula in advance, I wouldn't have been disrupted and lost my chance of using it again. If that had happened, my chances of winning wouldn't have been so low. But there are no 'ifs' in martial arts." Liang Yifan answered honestly and emotionally.
Queen of Thought pondered for some time before smiling as she answered,
"From my perspective, it was because you are too honest and not as cunning as him."
"Nothing is too deceitful for a soldier. This should be the norm for battle." Liang Yifan shook his head with a faint smile before adding emotionally, "Give him a year and a half more and he would be even more horrifying."
...
Within the resting room, Lou Cheng cooperated with the doctor for treatment of his injuries after washing up.
Yan Zheke sent a message over and asked concernedly,
"How are you feeling now?"
After seeings saw Lou Cheng covered in injuries and swaying while enjoying the cheers of the crowd, she was already feeling worried.
Lou Cheng thought about it for a while before replying,
"The injuries aren't too serious, but there are quite a number of them. I'll probably only recover 70% by the semi-finals. I pushed a little too hard today."
In the last barrage of furious attacks, he had entirely replaced defence with offence. Even when his opponent counterattacked, he had only prevented his vitals from being hit directly. However, injuries from abrasion and contact with Liang Yifan's Force were inevitable and numerous.
Before Yan Zheke could continue that topic, he smiled wickedly and said,
"There aren't the crucial injury points. The ecstasy and excitement from winning against Liang Yifan is incomparable. Hehe, I have to think seriously about how I'd like to spend the day you promised me."
Yan Zheke's face turned red instantly and mumbled to her phone. She then replied,
"[dumbfounded emoji] Why didn't I know that you were such an rogue before!"
"How could you not know about it? [raised eyebrows emoji]" Lou Cheng replied, "Someone kept calling me a rogue, a bad and rotten rogue."
"You've changed… You weren't like this before! [desperate expression]" Yan Zheke replied. 
While they were flirting, Dragon King took five minutes to defeat Luo Xian from Shushan Study without sustaining many injuries. The final four contestants of Warrior Sage Battle had been officially determined.
This was the first time Lou Cheng was ranked in the top four.
As there were only four experts left, the lot-drawing ceremony was held immediately after. Lou Cheng, who got the notification in the last minute, tidied his clothing quickly, grabbed his phone, and left the resting room to headed towards the stand where the organizing committee was.
On his way, Yan Zheke asked curiously,
"Cheng, who would you like to go against next?"
"Hmm…God-Slaying Saber! At least I can hope that he'll overturn in a dark gutter [sighing emoji]" replied Lou Cheng, using to the Chinese idiom that referred to someone losing when they weren't expected to. 
This was just a beautiful dream, as Lu Yongyuan had lost to him previously and would definitely expend additional efforts to prove himself.
"Hehe." Yan Zheke added,
"[covered mouth laughing emoji] That's the first time I heard someone describe himself as a gutter..."
Pfft… Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed silently. When he reached the spacious spectator stand, the burly Dong Baxian, who had his hair neatly combed and looked just like an ancient martial artist, was standing close to him. God-Slaying Saber had his hair combed back and was holding onto his saber while watching Lou Cheng from afar.
In less than a minute, Dragon King, Chen Qitao, arrived in a navy blue martial arts suit. As he walked, he gave off a majestic feeling that made it hard for others to look at him directly.
The man in charge of the organizing committee was holding onto a miniature microphone as he announced loudly,
"The semi-finalists of this year's Warrior Sage Battle have been determined. They are the most recent and strongest four martial artists. They are Dragon King..."
He elevated his pitch suddenly and the surrounding responded with earth-shaking screams,
"Chen Qitao!"
After reciting each name, the man of the organizing committee took out a ball from a black-base, golden edge box and showed it to the surrounding cameras,
"Longhu Club, Lou Cheng!"
Who will I meet… Lou Cheng straightened his back immediately. Yan Zheke and the rest who were sitting afar also straightened up as they held their breath.
The man in charge of the organizing committee took out another ball, looked at it, and showed it to the cameras again with a smile,
"Longhu Club, Dragon King, Chen Qitao!"
Dragon King… When he heard the two words, Lou Cheng suddenly recalled a line that his master said when he just started practicing martial arts,
"Admiration? When you can completely defeat a martial artist you admire, that's the greatest respect you could show to him."
And the martial artist that I admire the most is none other than Dragon King. One of my martial arts dreams is to challenge him in an important competition!
Lou Cheng turned his head to look to the side. He happened to see the Dragon King, Chen Qitao looking right back at him.
He's so suave, tall, majestic, solemn, mature, that he has a devilish charm.
As the light shone down, everything felt like a dream.
His initial dream was within reach.


Here martial arts are no longer intangible legends. They have been passed on from generation to generation and from century to century. After the confrontation with science and technology, they have completely integrated into modern society and all kinds of martial arts competitions are taking place across the country as superiority among scholars are hard to reach a consensus but not as difficult among martial artists!
Lou Cheng has inherited the lost skills of the greatest martial arts sect. Towards his original dream and the glory in his heart, he advances step by step, becoming the warrior of this modern city and the hero of the era!

The explosion left some really bad burns on the face of the monster, but in the long run, it only served to gave enrage it even further. Minerva let loose a stream of fire from her palms straight to its face, however it used it's massive hands to block the fire from touching any other part of its body. 

Since it's hands were covered by the remaining pieces of the Sky dragon armor, the damage was completely negated, with only a hint of smoke being released to show. It defense was severely weakened unlike the previous death knights with their sky dragon armor. Since it gave up it's mobility and defense for greater damage and attack speed, being caught by one of its attacks would leave every bone in either one of their bodies broken to pieces. 

It would have been instant death for them...…if they were normal. While David was not as fast as Lilith, or as strong, neither was he able to attack from range like Minerva, there was one thing that set him apart from the both of them in term of combat abilities. He was the most versatile of the three. His abilities made him an all rounder, a typical jack of all trades sort of thing. But he was still strong enough to cause significant damage if he put his mind to it. 

Which was why he ran west, completely skirting the edge of the fight as he made his way towards the still burning heap of metal that was once his hover bike. He cursed at the unfairness of it all, whatever had dissipated the energy blast from the Sky Wolf gun, had deemed it fit to let his hover bike be burned until it was nothing more than a pile of molten slag. His heart ached as he took in the state of his once glorious creation. 

It was hard to say good bye, but they had a good run. Sweet, sweet memories that he would never forget. Although it was still burning, David noticed something that made his eyes narrow in horror, the power cells were all still intact. He quickly sheath both shot guns on his back, as he spread his arm forward and tried using his telekinesis to lift the hover bike. Normally the hover bike was way above the weight limit of his telekinesis, but in it's damage state, David was sure he would be able to lift it. 

He spread his palms wide, as he felt an invisible connection to damaged bike. It was like his entire mind energy covered the frame of the hover bike, like it was clasped in his fist. When he tried to lift it, he felt a little resistance at first, the weight was almost too much, and the strain on his mind, made his closed eye ache in fury as his head pounded even louder. 

"ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!"

With a loud shout that was equal parts pain and strain, he threw the hover bike towards the monster, silently saying good bye to his loyal steed within his mind. Then he opened his left eye, ignoring the wooziness that came with his increased perception, David pulled out the Ion pulse handgun from his hip. And watched the hover bike as it made its way towards the monster who had dropped it's huge hands, but was rapidly raising it to knock the hover bike of course. 

David could see every individual line on the burning frame of the hover bike, the invisible trace of energy within it's metal, as the orichalum it was made from absorbed the magic particles in the air. Then he aimed at the power cells and with startling accuracy, shot at them. 

Minerva and Lilith had seen him moving towards the hover bike and lifting it up. It was enough  warning for them to move back until they were standing about  ten meters away from the monster, right at the entrance of the tunnel. 

However the ensuring explosion was still powerful enough to throw them all off their feet. While it was not even half as strong as the bullet from the Sky wolf, it was still powerful enough that one of the arms of the monster was blown to bits, and the other was badly mangled. 

David was thrown backwards until his back kissed the wall hard enough that he felt cracks all over his body. He silently mused about it, it seemed as if he was getting more and more broken bones this days.

 With the way things were going, it was only a matter of time before every bone in his body was in bits and pieces. He hit the ground hard, and couldn't help but  cough out a little bit of blood and saliva, his head was throbbing even harder than before, and the incessant screeches of pain from the monster did not make matters any easier. 

David found it incredibly hard to focus at that moment as everything around seemed to be spinning and dull. Then he dragged himself towards the prone body of the monster as it struggled and tried to get itself into an upright position with it's mangled hand. David pulled out both shotguns, and used his telekinesis to place new shells within them. 

He staggered his way towards the monster, and when he was just three feet away, he pointed both shotguns at it, and pulled the trigger, still not noticing the red glow on the side of the guns. The shot completely blew up its remaining arm from the elbow, and left a huge hole in it's gut. But it also threw David off his feet and brought him crashing down onto the hard ground. Even if he was at full strength, wielding these guns would be just as hard and damaging, much less now that David was not even ten percent. 

He pulled himself up again, using one the shot gun as a crutch. He looked up just in time to see Minerva roasting the monster with every amount  of flame she could muster. Lilith had her crystal spike armor out, but she was shooting pieces of those crystals as projectiles into the body of the monster. 

David had no idea she could do that, eventually the screaming monster became silent, as it died under the constant barrage from both Lilith and Minerva. 
They both collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, completely unable to move. David couldn't wrap his mind around it.

 They had all almost died for a piece of metal and a dragon tattoo that did nothing but curl around on the back of his hand. Of course it was not as if they had any choice but to go forward, but still, they had no idea what this was for, or what it meant. They were just looking for a way out of this place, and due to that, time and time again they almost ended up dying. To be honest it did not seem worth it to go through all this risk, but for some reason they kept moving forward, as if something was calling them. 

The burnt corpse of the monster began to glow as it disappeared into motes of light that slowly coalesced into a gleaming blue silver metal with a rather  haphazard shape. The metal rotated in the air, and let out a pulsing light that spread through out the cavern and into the tunnel.  The moment the light reached David, he noticed that all of his wounds began to mend at rate that could only be considered freaky. 

His bones popped back into place, as what was broken was rejoined, and what was cracked was mended. His mental and physical fatigue immediately disappeared as an unknown source of energy went to his body, cleansing, and healing everything. Then all of a sudden within his mind, David could visualize a tree. The tree was rather strange as it did not have any branches, leaves or stems. It was just one straight  brown tree divided into five different areas of different colors. 

The bottom most color was red, and it had five distinct rings woven around the body of the tree. Three of those rings suddenly lit up and released a pulse of energy that suddenly improved his senses, as it made his eyes see clearer, his nose sharper, and his ears capable of hearing farther than ever. 

Those three rings released a wave of light in three second intervals, and every time those rings pulsed with light, David could feel his mental energy and his senses becoming more and more refined. He felt that his mind had become stronger, and the fact that his left eye was wide open without any sense of disorientation proved it. 

The metal stopped pulsing, which made David notice that he was not the only one who received benefits from that metal. David moved his gaze towards the mouth of the tunnel with his heart in his mouth, scared and hopeful at the same time, before suddenly. He was bowled over by a black blur, who proceeded to stomp all over him for good measure before going straight to nuzzle Lilith and Minerva's out stretched palms. 

"You fucking turtle!" David screamed at Vidi after the sudden assault. 

But the tortoise did not answer him as he was busy receiving a special grade of attention from Lilith and Minerva. After all he had just survived a life threatening experience, and he was miraculously healed. He needed the ladies help to give thanks for such a wonderful turn of events. 

David shook his head as he turned his attention back to the gleaming metal that was now suddenly heading towards him at a leisurely pace. David shifted positions, running around the cavern, but every where he turned the metal just kept on following him, it was as if there was some sort magnetic attraction between the two of them. 

Suddenly David's fist shook violently, and then dragged him towards the metal. Apparently the dragon tattoo got tired of his antics and decided to take matters into its own hands. He shot forward towards the metal with absolutely no control over his body,  then the metal melted into his palm, just like the others before it. 

However this time there was a different reaction, as a powerful pressure suddenly descended upon the cavern and every single one of them fell to their knees. They could feel the blood boiling within them, as every bone in the body bowed down in some sort of reverence. Whatever it is this pressure belonged too, it demanded respect, worship and adoration. Suddenly the cavern shook. 

"ROOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!"

It was not the fact that there was roar that shocked David, it was the fact that it was coming from the dragon tattoo on his hand. The black dragon now looked more vivid and clear, and it was still resting on the back of his hand in the shape of the number 2. 

 It was looking so detailed, That David could see the vibrating scales on it's serpentine body. It was then that David noticed the change, before it looked like a western dragon, bulky and with two large wings, and the distinct face of a lizard. Now however its body was more serpentine, like a Chinese dragon, and its eyes were a startling shade of red. 

The dragon began to swim around on his skin in the most freakish display of power David had ever seen. Then the dragon began to crawl up, towards the left side of his body, up to his neck and straight into his left eye. There was a sharp pain that lanced through his mind, as everything went dark for him. David held his breath as he immediately became afraid that he might have lost his sight.  He was like that for ten minutes before his eye sight came back to normal. 

The dragon had disappeared from his hand, and was now resting in his eye. Now anybody who looked at his left eye would see a serpentine dragon curved in the symbol of the number 2. David did not feel any different though, everything felt normal for him as his panicked breaths finally came down to an even level. 'so he had a dragon tattoo on his eyeball, so what? At least he was not dead, or blind.'
Thankful that he was still in one piece, an ancient and archaic voice broke through the gloom of his mind and broke through the processes of his thought as it said to him. 

"Five Down, One More To Go, Young Traveler. Hurry!"

"Oh fuck My Luck!"

David has woken up transmigrated into his alternate self in another universe, or it could also be said he received the memories of his alternate self from another universe.  Unsure of his identity and plauged by the similarities of both worlds he is forced to maneuver and fight his way through a world in it's early stages of an evolutionary apocalypse. Stuck in a world of magic, super heroes, advanced technology and a mind controlling lizard, David has to fight against the currents of fate in other to stay alive and thrive. But if fate and destiny won't drown him, then his own two souls fighting each other for dominance will.

"Ranking?" tiningnan ni Luo Feng ang listahan ng mga pangalan sa mga kaliskis ng napakalaking itim na dragong ito at hindi mapigilang mapatanong ng, "Ranking para saan?"
Tumatawang lumingon si Yang Hui kay Luo Feng at sinabing, "Sa tingin mo ba ay puwede ka na lang magrelax sa oras na pumasok ka sa elite training camp hanggang sa maging isang wargod? Nagbibiro ka ata bata! Ang paligid sa loob ng elite training camp ay ang pinakacompetitive na lugar sa lahat. Sinasabi ng rankings na ito kung gaano karaming gamit ang makukuha mo sa pagsasanay sa loob ng elite training camp! Isang halimbawa na rito ay ang fighter na makakagamit ng isa sa unique tresures mula sa mga archaeological ruins. Habang pataas ng pataas ang iyong ranking ay parami naman ng parami ang mga kagamitang magagamit mo! At maaari namang madisqualify ang isang fighter sa oras na makapasok ito sa loob ng bottom three ng higit sa tatlong beses."
Gulat na gulat si Luo Feng dahil ngayon niya lang nalaman na puwede ka palang madisqualify sa elite training camp.
"Huwag ka munang magtanong ngayon. Saka mo na lang malalaman ang lahat ng rules sa oras na maipasa mo ang iyong B grade exam dahil walang point ang mga sagot ko sa mga tanong mong ito sa akin kung hindi ka rin naman papasa sa B grade exam," Tiningnan ni Yang Hui ang napakalaking dragon sculpture at sinabing, "Hindi niyo pa ba narerealize kung bakit espesyal ang dragon na ito rito?"
"Dahil sa aura nito?" sabi ni Ya Xia.
"Dahil sa spirit nito." sabi ni Luo Feng.
Nabigla ang dalawang ito nang makita nila ang dragon sculpture na ito. Noong tiningnan nila ang mga mata ng sculpture na ito ay naramdaman nilang tinitingnan sila ng isang halimaw na mas nakakatakot pa kaysa sa isang high level horde leader steel armored dragon. Nagdala ito ng matinding takot sa kanilang mga puso! Hindi natakot ng ganito si Luo Feng noong makita niya dati ang steel armored dragon.
"Isa itong totoong SS emperor level monster, isang black dragon na ipinanganak sa loob ng isang bulkan! Iniwan ng head ang dalawa nitong mata sa dragon sculpture na ito matapos niya itong mapatay"
"Napakamahal ng mga materyales sa paggawa ng dragon sculpture na ito. Ang pinakamahal na materyales nito siyempre ay ang mga mata nito dahil ito ang tunay na mata ng isang black dragon!"
"Dinisenyo ang sculpture na ito para tumingin sa entrance ng gate para manigas ang katawan ng kahit sinong tao na papasok sa gate na ito at titingin sa mga mata ng dragon sculpture na ito." Buong pagmamalaking tawa ni Yang Hui, "Ang isang pares ng matang katulad niyan ay nagkakahalaga ng 10 billion!"
Nagpatilan ng tingin sina Luo Feng at Ya Xia. Jusko, gumamit talaga sila ng tunay na mata mula sa isang black dragon para sa sculpture na ito! Grabe!
"Sumama kayo sa akin. Tandaan niyo na bawal magtatakbo rito," utos ni Yang Hui.
"Opo," binuhat nina Luo Feng at Ya Xia ang kanilang backpacks habang sinusundan si Yang Hui.
Napakaganda at parang isang panaginip ang paligid nito para sa isang training camp. Nagbigay ito ng isang impresyon na para silang dumating sa isang antigong lugar. Makikita ang mga naggagandahang bulaklak at puno maging ang mga dumadaloy na ilog at batis sa loob ng training camp na ito. Makikita rin sa loob nito ang mga detalyadong pavilion nito na katabi ng main palace na kung saan makikitang lumalabas ang mga batang nakasuot ng dojo uniforms. Binubuo ang mga batang ito na lalaki at babaeng may mga kutis na puti, itim at kung minsan ay manilaw-nilaw.
"Tingnan niyo, ang mga bata doon ay mga official members ng elite training camp," tinuro ni Yang Hui ang isang napakataas na nine story tower sa gitna ng training camp, "Maikukumpara mo ito sa taas ng isang 20 story building kahit na sisiyam lang ang floors nito. Ang lahat ng mga estudyanteng makikita niyo ngayon ay papunta sa tower na iyan.Ang hugis tower na building na iyan ay tinatawag na 'Nine Grand Floors'!"
Ngumiti si Yang Hui at sinabing, "Sa Nine Grand Floors natututo at nagsasanay ang lahat ng estudyante ng elite training camp. Mayroon ding mga special training rooms sa loob nito! Palagi mong makikita ang mga estudyante sa training camp na ito sa loob ng building na iyan hanggang sa oras ng pagtulog ng mga ito na kung saan ay bumabalik na sila sa kani-kanilang mga pavilions para magpahinga."
Magalang at pormal na kumilos sina Luo Feng at Ya Xia habang nasa loob sila ng elite training camp dahil hindi sila mga opisyal na estudyante roon. Mayroong iba't ibang klase ng aura ang bawat isang estudyante sa loob ng training camp na iyon para kay Luo Feng kaysa sa mga pangkaraniwang fighters sa labas dahil dito mo makikita ang mga malademonyong henyo sa lahat ng mga henyo mula sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo.
"Ang karamihan sa 182 na mga estudyanteng ito ang gumagraduate taon-taon! Kaya tumatanggap kami ng 43 students mula sa iba't ibang sulok ng mundo kada taon," nakangiting sinabi ni Yang Hui habang naglalakad, "Pero 2/3 ng mga fighters na ito ay nanggagaling sa aming Dojo of Limits basics training camp kaya 1/3 lang sa mga ito ang nanggagaling sa iba't ibang sulok ng mundo."
Natigilan si Luo Feng nang marinig niya ito.
Walang duda na…
Mga nasa 30 katao ang tinatanggap kada taon at 2/3 sa mga ito ay nagmula sa basics training camp. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay mayroon na lang 10 slots ang natitira para sa mga talentadong fighters na nagmumula sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo.
"Kaya mayroon ka pa ring pagkakataong makapasok sa elite training camp pagkatapos mong makapasok at makagraduate sa basics training camp. Pero ang bilang ng mga estudyanteng nagsasanay sa basics training camp ay mas marami kaysa sa bilang ng mga estudyanteng nagsasanay sa elite training camp. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit napakaintense ng kompetisyon para makakuha ng isang slot dito. Kaya mas pag-igihan mo pa ang iyong pagsasanay sa hinaharap," sabi ni Yang Hui habang nakatingin kay Ya Xia.
"Naiintindihan ko po," kislap ng mga mata ni Ya Xia.
Ang limit sa basics training camp ay 3 years habang ang elite training camp naman ay may limit na 5 years!
"Maghintay ka muna rito Ya Xia at huwag kang magtatakbo kung saan-saan. Dadalhin ko lang si Luo Feng sa loob para maayos ang tutuluyan niya mamaya," sabi ni Yang Hui.
Maging ang mga furnitures sa loob ng two story building na ito ay antigo.
"Dahil isang Chinese ang head ay mahal na mahal niya ang style ng ancient China. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang desenyo ng buong Hong Ning city ay nakabase sa ganoong style lalo na ang training camp na ito kaya wala kang makikitang mga sofa o television sa loob ng training camp na ito." Ngiti ni Yang Hui, "Mabuti na lang at maawain ang head kaya hinayaan niyang magdala ang bawat isa ng isang notebook."
Hindi makapagsalita si Luo Feng nang marinig at makita niya ang mga sinasabing ito ni Yang Hui. Wala ngang television, washing machine, etc. Mabuti na lang at mayroong mga saksakan ng kuryente sa loob ng bawat building at kuwarto.
"Magpahinga ka na muna rito. Tumawag ka lang kung may gusto kang kainin, mayroong taong magpeprepare at magdadala nito para sa iyo," sabi ni Yang Hui, "Mas maiging huwag mong pagurin ang iyong sarili ngayong araw dahil dadalhin kita bukas ng tanghali sa Nine Grand Floors para kumuha ng B grade exam. Kung makakapasa ka ay magiging isa ka nang opisyal na miyembro ng elite training camp. Kung hindi naman ay mapupunta ka sa basics training camp."
Tumango si Luo Feng at nagsabing, "Naiintindihan ko po."
Matapos nito ay agad na umalis si Yang Hui sa kuwarto.
Si Luo Feng na lang ang mag-isang natira sa tahimik na kuwartong iyon. Ilang sandali pa ay umakyat siya sa study room sa 2nd floor para iwan ang kanyang backpack bago pumunta sa balkonahe para pagmasdan ang buong training camp.
"Ito ang nangungunang training camp sa buong mundo? Mukhang masyadong tahimik ata rito," isinandal ni Luo Feng ang kanyang kamay sa wooden pillar ng balkonahe para suportahan ang kanyang buong katawan habang inaappreciate ang view ng buong training camp.
Ilang sandali pa ay mayroon siyang narinig na isang boses Chinese mula sa dumadaloy na batis sa loob ng training camp, "Oy, galing ka sa China?"
Lumingon si Luo Feng at tumingin sa ibaba. Doon niya nakita ang isang payat na batang lalaki na may manilaw-nilaw na kutis habang nakasuot ng isang puting dojo uniform. Makapal ang mga kilay at malaki ang mga mata nito. Mayroon siyang hawak na isang steel spear sa kanyang mga kamay habang nakangiting nakatingin kay Luo Feng.
"Oo," sagot ni Luo Feng.
"Ako si Tian Qiong," ngiti ng manilaw-nilaw na lalaki habang bumabati, "Mula sa Northeast headquarter city"
"Ako si Luo Feng, mula sa Jiang-Nan headquarter city," ngiti ni Luo Feng.
Ngumiti ang batang nagngangalang Tian Qiong at sinabing, "Dahil doon ka nakatira ay magaassume ako na magtetake ka ng entrance exam tama? Pagbutihin mo! Marami-rami rin tayong mga Chinese rito…. Puwede tayong magkita-kita sa oras na nakapasok ka na rito sa training camp." Matapos nito ay naglakad na ang Tian Qiong na ito papunta sa Nine Grand Floors habang hawak-hawak ang kanyang spear. Makikita ang pagwagayway nito sa hawak niyang spear habang naglalakad papalayo kay Luo Feng.
PU! Isang nakakabinging tunog mula sa tumutusok na spear ang nakapagpabago sa itsura ni Luo Feng na kasalukuyang nasa balkonahe ng tinutuluyan niyang building, "Mas maganda ang technique ng isang ito kaysa kay Zhang Ke!"
Napakagaling ng pag-unawa ni Luo Feng sa mga oras na ito dahil noong itusok ng lalaking iyon na si Tian Qiong ang kanyang spear ay naramdaman agad ni Luo Feng ang pagpunta ng lahat ng hangin sa paligid ng fighter na ito sa dulo ng kanyang spear.
"Kahit na pangalanan ko pang Thunderbolt ang blade technique ko ay hindi ko magawagawang gawin ito kaya walang wala ako maging ang aking technique kung ikukumpara ko ang aking sarili sa kanya," kahiya-hiyang sinabi ni Luo Feng sa kanyang sarili.
Walang wala ang kanyang blade technique sa spear technique na ipinakita ng isang pangkaraniwang estudyante ng elite training camp!
Narealize ni Luo Feng na…
Tanging ang mga henyo lang sa lahat ng mga henyo ang makakapasok sa training camp na ito! Walang kahit na sino sa mga ito ang hindi magaling, kumumpleto man ito ng tatlong taon sa basics training camp o matanggap mula sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo!
"Kailangan kong patunayan ang sarili ko sa loob ng elite training camp na ito dahil kung hindi ay mawawalan ako ng kahit anong karapatan para tapatan ang dalawang wargods na sina Vulture at Scorpion!"
"Siyempre, kinakailangan ko munang ipasa ang kukunin kong B grade exam."
Matapos niyang magsanay ng kanyang genetic energy hanggang hatinggabi ay nirelax ni Luo Feng ang kanyang sarili. Kahit na hindi pa siya opisyal na nakakapasok sa training camp ay narealize niya sa kanyang sarili mula sa nakita niyang listahan sa sculpture ng black dragon sa gate hanggang sa mga random thrust na ipinakita ng nakilala niyang si Tian Qiong na talagang magiging competitive ang gagawin niyang pagsasanay sa loob ng elite training camp na ito.
���
Nagkaroon ng maaga at napakagarbong tanghalian si Luo Feng 11am ng sumunod na araw. 30 minutes pa ang nakalipas bago nakarating sa kanyang kuwarto ang wargod na si Yang Hui.
"Hindi masyadong maganda ang panahon ngayon. Magtatanghali pa lang pero napakadilim na ng kalangitan. Mukha yatang may paparating na bagyo." Naglakad papasok si Yang Hui at tumawa habang natakingin sa lamesang pinagkakainan ni Luo Feng, "Oh, mukhang malakas kang kumain. Sundan mo na lang ako sa Nine Grand Floors kapag handa ka na."
"Anong po ang mga kailangan kong dalhin? Mga sandata? Battle uniform?" tanong ni Luo Feng.
"Wala, sumama ka sa akin ng walang dala na kahit ano." Sabi ni Yang Hui.
Naglakad si Luo Feng papunta sa Nine Grand Floors kasama si Yang Hui!
Ang isang palapag ng Nine Grand Floors ay may taas na 6 meters. Mayroong itong lawak na 130 meters kaya isa itong napakalaking tower. Makikita sa loob nito ang iba't ibang klase ng computers at mga technologically advanced na gamit kahit na mala-antigo ang itsura nito sa labas. Ang bawat floor naman nito ay gawa sa napakatibay na alloys. Agad ka namang makakarinig ng mga naglalakasang tunog mula sa mga sonic booms at sa mga sigaw mula sa mga nagsasanay na fighter sa loob ng building.
"Pumunta tayo sa 9th floor," sakay ni Yang Hui at Luo Feng sa elevator.
Napakabilis na umakyat ang elevator. "DING!"
Bumukas ang mga pinto ng elevator at agad na nagpakita ang napakagarbong top floor ng Nine Grand Floors. Ang 9th floor ng building na ito ay isang napakalawak na lobby. Nakalagay sa loob ng lobby na ito ang ilang mga cushions na inuupuan ng mga batang babae at lalaki na nag-uusap sa mga lengguwaheng English, French at maging Chinese. Agad na tiningnan ng iilan sa mga ito ang pababang si Luo Feng sa elevator.
"Chinese ka bro?"
"Oo, isa akong Chinese," tango ni Luo Feng.
"Goodluck ha! Magkakaroon ulit tayo ng isa pang Chinese na miyembro sa oras na makapasok ka rito sa training camp," tawa ng isang kalbong batang lalaki.
"Mangarap ka lang," mula sa accented Chinese na bibig ng isang itim na babae. Makikita sa mukha nito ang isang butterfly tattoo habang sinisinghalan at tinitingnan nito si Luo Feng.
Sinundan ni Luo Feng ang wargod na si Yang Hui papunta sa loob ng lobby. Mayroon itong isang corridor at naglalakihang kuwarto sa magkabilang gilid nito. Hindi nagtagal ay dinala ni Yang Hui si Luo Feng sa pinakasulok na kuwarto sa loob ng lobby. Hindi kalakihan ang napakadilim na kuwartong ito.
"PA!" Bukas ng mga ilaw sa kuwarto. Makikita sa loob nito ang dalawang sofa at isang kulay kupas na blue helmet sa ibabaw ng bawat sofa.
"Pinaghirapan ng mga scientist natin ang paggawa sa dalawang helmets na ito. Ginagaya ng mga helmets na ito ang isang brain computer interface na nakalink sa isang virtual space machine," sabi ni Yang Hui habang tinuturo ang mga helmet sa ibabaw ng sofa, "Ang kaya pa lang naming gawin ay ang mga simpleng computer interfaces habang ang virtual machine naman na gumagawa ng virtual space nito ay matagal nang nakaimbak at hindi nagagamit sa ilalim ng lupa sa loob ng ilang taon."
Nabigla si Luo Feng nang tingnan niya ang helmet na ito "Isang virtual space?"
Grabe talaga.
Makikita lang ang mga bagay na kagaya nito sa isang sci-fi. Ayon sa sinabi ni Yang Hui, kaya ng mga tao sa ngayon na gumawa ng tinatawang nila na 'brain computer interfaces' sa tulong ng isang machine na gumagawa ng mga virtual space dahil hindi pa ito kayang gawin ng isipan ng isang tao.
"Ginagamit pa rin namin ang dating machine na iyon na nakalagay sa ilalim ng lupa. Hindi maintindihan ng mga scientist kung paano ito gumagana kaya huwag mo nang itanong kung paano ito nagawa," umiiling na sinabi ni Yang Hui.
"Okay, sa oras na isuot mo ang isa sa mga iyan ay papasok ka sa isang makatotohanang virtual space. Puwede mong sabihin na wala itong pagkakaiba sa totoong buhay," sabi ni Yang Hui, "Matapos mong makapasok sa virtual space ay papapasukin ka namin sa 'Tower of Trials' kung saan mo itetake ang iyong B grade exam!"


Taong 2056, sa loob ng isang siyudad na makikita sa Su Jin Area makikita ang isang teenager na nakasuot ng combat vest, pangsundalong pangibaba at battle boots na gawa sa alloy na nakaupo sa tuktok ng isang sira sirang six story residential apartment. Makikita sa kaniyang likuran ang isang hexagonal shield at ang kaniyang hawak hawak na blood-shadow battle knife. Tahimik siyang nakaupo sa dulo ng rooftop. Makikita sa mga oras na ito ang kumikinang na kalangitan at mararamdaman ang napakapreskong hangin na kasalukuyang umiihip patungo sa kaniya. Pero tanging katahimikan lamang ang maririnig sa sira sira at abandonadong siyudad na ito at kung minsan ay mayroong paisa isang pagalulong ang maririnig na magbibigay takot sa sinumang makarinig nito.

Long Tian's POV:
We are in a restaurant, waiting for our food. Metis looked at me and asked, "What is your plan now? Now you started to screw the plot, what is next?". I laughed at her and said, "I am going to save a life before someone else. The girl I want to save had a very hard past.  Her mother got abducted by the moon god-emperor and got killed. Her brother got betrayed by Brahma Goddess and killed in the process. She became a sacrifice by her father. Finally, she got poisoned by the Brahma goddess when she was exacting revenge for her brother's death.
Her life itself is a tragedy. She will find Yun Che and would be treated by him. She got cured in the process and helped in various dangers. She then was found by her family and was brought back to become a sacrifice for a ritual. She got saved by Yun Che while saving the Primal Chaos dimension, but in turn, got exiled from the dimension for aiding Yun Che. She never got her revenge, and everything she did was for vain. In the end, she got betrayed again and again.".
All of the girls were silent. I told them, "I said it, didn't I? The world here where the people had twisted personalities. Each of them underwent many despairing situations, bringing their twisting and hypocritic personalities. If you guys want to see a drama, this world is one of the popular ones. We will be adding stones to already rippled water.". Saying that we left the restaurant. From the details collected, the canon starts in 3 months. I plan to collect the inheritance of the Dragon god. I then left the girls in an Inn.
I then went to Ten thousand Beast Mountain Range. The number of beasts in the region caused the name to exist. I immediately locked the aura of the strongest beast and teleported in front of them. I released my pressure to pin these flood dragons. I then heard a voice, containing respect, and fear, "I never thought, I would see an ancestral god in my life. What can I do for you?". I then saw the outlook of the voice. It had golden eyes emanating power with the glistening blue scale. It is a Chinese dragon with 100 feet long (This is my estimation. So I apologize if I am wrong).
I saw the dragon and said, "As a dragon with the remnant soul fragment, you still are strong.". The Azure Dragon said, "I am honored to hear it from the Ancestral God. May I ask the reason for the ancestral God to visit this place?". I looked at him and said, "I will be straight to the point. I want a piece of your bone marrow and a drop of your blood. In return, I would tell you about the location of your daughter and give you one last chance to meet with her.".
I can see his eyes going wide from this information and immediately gave me a drop of his blood and bone marrow. It seems he knew that fighting and intimidating me would be foolish. I sealed the space with my Space ancestral Symbol and started to absorb the blood and bone marrow. I combined the blood and marrow with my blood and combined it. My body started to create dragon blood, and bones are altered to produce dragon blood. I combined the dragon energy with my origin energy. The result was the dragon energy was devoured by my origin energy.
I started to transform slowly. My body started to elongate, with horns protruding from my head. My hands and legs transformed into claws. Green Dragon scales are produced, covering my entire body. A tail was formed from the rear. I started to grow to a length of 100 feet. I formed a mirror and saw my current form. Intimidating face with Sky blue eyes, small beard below my chin with whiskers protruding below my nose. I then saw the shocked dragon god looking at my form. I can sense immense vitality and stamina from my body. I controlled my origin energy in my body to accustom my form. I opened the space slightly connecting with the outside world and gave a heaven-defying roar.
I then flew in my form around the space and enjoyed it. I then transformed back into my human form. There was no big change except my robust body and a small dragon tattoo coiling my left arm. I looked at the azure dragon god and said, "Your daughter was released from the ancestral sword by the Creation god Li Suo. She is now living near the forbidden Land of samsara, in the Dragon god realm. I will strengthen your soul and give you a chance to visit your daughter and speak with her. After that, you are on your own. You can anchor your soul, or you can do a ritual to come back to life. With this, the debt is clear. Now off you go.".
I strengthened his soul with Life and death symbol and sent him off. Before he left, he asked me, "What is your plan after this?". I looked at him and said, "To add chaos in the realm and watch how it goes? Maybe I will do that.". He just shook his head and left.
Third Perspective:
In the meanwhile, the entire Primal Chaos dimension was in turmoil. The roar of the dragon indicates the inheritance of the Azure dragon god was successfully transferred. Many of the realm gods were anxious, and the Dragon God realm was in ecstasy. There was an inheritor of the azure dragon god. Various realm gods were trying to track the source and send their men, either to assassinate me or to protect me.
Some people were trying to plot to gain the alliance from the Dragon God realm. Some were trying to bring the inheritor to their control, like the Brahma god realm. Especially the Brahma Goddess Qianye Ying'er.

???: Wake up, wake up kid it's time for you to drink.

Coming to myself I feel my arms connected to chains. Looking around I see that I'm in a large cage 
surrounding the cage were what looked like fire nation soldiers. It looks like I was captured by one of the raids.  

Raising a cup connected to a stick up to my mouth. Seeing my reflection I see an eight year old boy with brown skin, no meat on his bones, black hair and bright almost neon eyes. Taking a sip of the water, it tasted like dirt knowing that I wouldn't be getting water till the next day I swallow every single drop. 

Leaving me in the dark, knowing that I'm on a ship I know that  the raid will happen soon, I knew that that was the time for my escape. Looking around I see walkways with guards looking down at the prisoners. 

Looking down at myself I see brown skin with bones sticking out from not enough food. Waiting until the guards are not looking I gather a small ball of water trying to see how long I could hold it in the air. 

Using the water flowing technique that Katara used to teach Aang the basics of water bending. Moving the water around my body at slow speed not to draw attention from the guards. 

Keeping up this technique for an hour straight is I start to feel heavy from the long extortion. Passing out I feel my conscious moving towards what I feel is a large reserve of energy split into four parts.

As I move closer to the four they each turn into a different mythic beast. The blue energy turns into a giant turtle with a forest on the back. 

The red energy turns into a phoenix with white flames for its feathers and blue fire ate the tips. The Green energy transforms into a white tiger it seems that it has metallic sheen. The last wisp of energy a transparent turns into a blue Chinese dragon.

The turtle roars sending me reeling back into my body shocked awake, in my mind's eye I see a water technique scroll looking it over. I see a technique for drawing a small amount of water from the air and a technique for freezing and reshaping water.  

I spent the next few days eating and drinking the little food that they gave me. Using the surplus of time that I had I was able to hold water in the air for around two hours, and I was able to move the water around my body at almost bullet like speeds.

Out of the many days of me just practicing those two techniques, I hear the guards talking.

G1: Were raiding the Southern Water Tribes tomorrow. 

G2:  Can't wait to have fun with their women. 

For some reason that set me off, I was going to save the water tribe no matter the cost. 

The next day I heard the boat dock on the shore all of the guards besides five went to raid the tribe.
Gathering water from the air around the size of my fist. Using the water I freeze the chains and shatter them. Hearing the noise all the guards rush over, sending out  jets of fire from their palms.

Using the leftover water from the chains I blocked all five streams. 

G1:  What are you going to do now boy, I don't know how you got water but you're about to get burned to a crisp. 

All at once the guards sent more fire at me, when the wave of fire hit me I felt pain. This was nothing compared to the cycle of rebirth. All of a sudden I see a blue tattoo appear on my body,
It was on my right over my heart  in the shape of a giant turtle. 

I can feel every single drop of water in the air, each of them containing a power that I could bend to my will. Gathering all the water from the air inside of my cage I form two disks of water rotating around my body. Expanding them out I cut the bars of my cage and all the guards in half. 

Walking out of the cage I lived for the past month, I felt a strange sense of freedom.  As I wander around trying to find the engine room I free all other prisoners. Finding the engine room I still use what I call the water gyro I cut into the engine causing black smoke to rush out of the various gashes in the metal pipes. 

I lead all of the stunned  prisoners out of the ship to a scene of tens of fur huts a blaze. Every stood and stared at the eight year old with a glowing blue turtle lion tattoo on the left side of his chest. 

Moving my hands I force the water from the sea into the air. A huge orb of water the size of an iceberg hovers five feet above my head. With A clench of my fist I force the water to condense into a solid ice sphere.

 I Then use my left hand to make a connection between me and every single ice fragment that made up the mass of ice and I one move I send a shard speeding into the bodies of  the Fire Nation soldiers living none alive.
