A/N: Looks like I might not have to separate the lemons from this book. I wanted to keep this book purely action, adventure, harem, romance and stuff. I didn't want to have some lemons in it as well.
You guys decide:
Lemons on this book.
or
No lemons on this book.

The days passed in the blink of an eye and Qing Tian was already on his way to a polish school where he will join a small competition there.
This competition is just to decide who the strongest in the new generation is. So any type of weapon could be used in this competition, allowing the use of bows, daggers, spears… etc.
Qing Tian was looking at a private airship landing in front of his house, ready to head over to the polish school where the competition will be held. The school personally sent someone to pick him up from his house.
An elegant man got off the airship and looked at Qing Tian with a serious look on his face.
"Please aboard the ship, young man," said the elegant man with a small bow.
This time around, Qing Tian's mother couldn't come since she had work to do, so Qing Tian got on the airship and left.
"Hm?"
When Qing Tian got on the airship, he found a young girl there.
'Who is this?'
"Greetings, may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" Qing Tian gave a regal bow and outstretched his hand, leaving it in front of the young girl.
The young girl looked at Qing Tian astonished for a second before giving a light giggle.
"Pingqing…"
Qing Tian froze as the girl held his hand, 'Damn… already meeting another key character in Han Sen's survival…'
"… Huangfu Pingqing," the girl said as she looked at Qing Tian with a playful gaze.
Huangfu Pingqing…
She's quite the sly and witty character who will try to get as much information as she can from a person she finds interesting. She has a wide array of networks that gathers information and her family has maps of the sanctuaries.
'She's also quite kinky…' thought Qing Tian with a smirk as he recalls the times she was explained to be wearing scantily dresses to seduce Han Sen. She didn't do it with the intention of doing anything with Han Sen, more of a teasing habit of hers.
But the fact that she simply scantily dressed just for that proved that she loved the act.
She's also the grand-daughter of the director of Ares Martial Hall. A connection he needs if he wants to get close to Huangfu Jing, also known as Queen, the skilled martial artist who focuses on her long legs.
Huangfu Pingqing is also the cousin of Son of Heaven, the man who makes Han Sen's life in the first Sanctuary terrible.
Another reason to have a connection with Huangfu Pingqing, because Son of Heaven's has a twin brother who knows the locations of many Super Creatures in the first sanctuary.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Young Miss Huangfu," said Qing Tian as he kissed the back of Huangfu Pingqing's hand.
"Fufu," Huangfu Pingqing gave a small laugh with an embarrassed face. Clearly she's a greenhorn during this time trying to be witty and sly.
Qing Tian let go of Huangfu Pingqing's hand and sat on the seat in front of her.
"What is Young Miss Huangfu doing by coming here?" Qing Tian gave her a small smile and asked.
"I-I just came to accompany the pilot," said Huangfu Pingqing before turning her head to the side and looking out the window, gazing at all the buildings passing by.
Qing Tian smiled and continued, "Wow. You must be close to the pilot then. To accompany him to pick me up. What is the name of the pilot? He's too elegant to be just a simple chauffeur for me."
"Haha…" Huangfu Pingqing gave a small nervous laugh. "His name… his name is… Dong Fan! He's like an older brother to me."
Qing Tian laughed on the inside as he listened to the girl.
It was quite obvious that Huangfu Pingqing's family sent her here to see how I carry myself, know the level of my intelligence, and even my strengths.
The airship wasn't even sent by the polish school. The instant Qing Tian's eyes landed on the airship when it arrived for him, he knew that it was of a very high quality. A quality too high for a polish school on Planet Roca.
There was even the Huangfu family's symbol on the airship and another on a small wristband worn by the elegant man. Clearly the elegant man was sent to protect Huangfu Pingqing and not to pick him up to go to the competition.
Huangfu Pingqing was just reconnaissance sent out to gather information, but for what?
"Is your family attending the competition?"
Qing Tian knew that there's a purpose for her family to go to the competition. Most likely to find promising disciples for their Ares Martial Hall.
'It will be good to plant some seeds now and wait for them to mature before harvesting them,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at Huangfu Pingqing with a small smile and ready to give it his all at the competition.
"Yes, they are. One of my family members is participating," said Huangfu Pingqing as she gave a small smile.
"What's his name?" Qing Tian knew that it would most likely be Son of Heaven, Han Sen's aggressor.
If Qing Tian has the chance, he will give Son of Heaven a good surprise. Enough to keep him away from Han Sen's way.
"I can't say," said Huangfu Pingqing as she covered her mouth in an elegant manner.
Qing Tian chuckled and said, "Very well, then I will just have to wait."
Qing Tian and Huangfu Pingqing talked for a while more until they arrived at the polish school. They had hit it off well.
Huangfu Pingqing had obviously gotten a lot more intimate with Qing Tian because she no longer tried speaking in a sly manner.
"Then this is it Young Miss Huangfu," said Qing Tian as he gave another bow before turning to leave.
"Wait!"
Huangfu Pingqing called out and stopped Qing Tian from leaving. Her face Was currently a bit red from embarrassment.
"Yes, Young Miss Huangfu?"
Huangfu Pingqing bit her bottom lip before saying, "Call me Qingqing, and I'll call you Heaven." (Tian in Chinese is Heaven, like Sora in Japanese is Heaven. They both also mean sky, lol. Hence why this fanfic novel and the other, Ascending to Supremacy, are both given the "Heaven Series")
'Wow. I jumped from -mere acquaintance- all the way straight to -really close friend- if she wants me to call her Qingqing. She even gave me a nickname,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at Huangfu Pingqing with a small smile.
"Okay, then… Qingqing," said Qing Tian, feigning embarrassment.
"Let's exchange contact information, Heaven. Let's talk some more later," said Huangfu Pingqing as she gave Qing Tian a small wave before leaving and heading towards her parents.
'Hmm… better give a good impression,' thought Qing Tian as he bowed goodbye to the chauffeur and left.
Heading on over to an extremely large building, Qing Tian was led into some locker rooms where he is supposed to change into the official competition uniform. Many wooden weapons lined the walls, Qing Tian had to take a single weapon and use it in the competition.
Personal weapons weren't allowed in this competition. Every single wooden weapon from the competition had the polish school emblem which distinguished them from other weapons.
Entering the locker rooms and going straight to his designated locker, Qing Tian was placed next to a pretty lousy fellow, a young boy only a year older than him.
"Hey, you," said the boy as he closed his locker and looked at Qing Tian.
"Yeah?" Qing Tian continued to rummage through his stuff before taking out his fighting clothes and changing into them.
"What's your name?" The boy didn't mind that Qing Tian didn't turn to look at him, rather he was surprised by the unsexpected good looks Qing Tian had.
Qing Tian stopped for a second and turned to look at the boy asking him questions, "Isn't it customary to introduce oneself first?"
"Ah, right… My name is Tang Zhenliu, the number one fighter of this generation," proclaimed the boy named Tang Zhenliu.
Qing Tian froze once more, surprised to meet another essential character so early and on the same day he just met Huangfu Pingqing. The surprise didn't last long before Qing Tian recovered in an instant and maintained his cool.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Qing Tian."
Tang Zhenliu was about to say something else before a calm and collected boy entered their conversation with a serious and light smile on his face.
"Old Liu, I heard that you're naming yourself the best fighter again," said the boy as he gave Tang Zhenliu a glance before turning to Qing Tian and began studying him.
"Old Feng..." Tang Zhenliu gave a light chuckle and took a step back. Both of them greeted themselves like seniors who are very old already, which will continue into even their adulthood.
Qing Tian on the other hand was rather surprised at also meeting Lin Feng so early.
Although he already knew that Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu were both friends, to see them together and here at this random competition has him wondering whether his defying luck is already changing things up in this world. Either way, Lin Feng comes from a wealthy and respected family, to him attending a competition like this is rather surprising.
Tang Zhenliu is more understandable since he likes doing stuff like this from time to time.
"Are you both participating in the competition?" Qing Tian strapped the wooden sword to his hip and turned to look at Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng for a short while.
"We are, we need to prove to everyone that we are the best in this generation. So what's the best way than to go to each planet and win every competition?" Tang Zhenliu gave a triumphant grin as he puffed his chest and proclaimed such a reason.
'It would make sense. They were already famous before God's Sanctuary opened. They must have become famous whilst doing stuff like this,' thought Qing Tian. 'Their families are wealthy and influential, being able to travel around the universe and fighting various people from the Alliance served as a sort of training for them.'
"Wow, good luck with that then," said Qing Tian before turning around and leaving with a chuckle.
"Yeah! See you at the competition, I hope to fight you at the end," said Tang Zhenliu as he waved goodbye to Qing Tian.
Lin Feng also looked at Qing Tian, still studying his actions and words. It wasn't until Qing Tian was fully out of sight that Lin Feng said something that astounded Tang Zhenliu.
"He's weak, he won't make it past the first round," said Lin Feng with a shake of his head.
Tang Zhenliu froze and turned to look at Lin Feng, "Really? What a shame, he seemed like such a nice guy."
Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu no longer paid any attention to Qing Tian as they focused on themselves. They both won't be fighting until the end of the competition.
They instead focused on studying every single potential opponent.
…
"I knew it," muttered Qing Tian as he noticed Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu ignore him after making himself look weak. 'Looks like Lin Feng also isn't smart enough to realize that someone as weak as I could possibly be in this competition is impossible.'
Shaking his head, Qing Tian sat down at a bench and waited to be called up. He closed his eyes and began practicing his Myriad Bone Tempering Art.
"Are you the poor guy who comes from the trash school?"
Qing Tian didn't get time to relax before being annoyed by a student from the polish school.
"Go be a bother somewhere else," said Qing Tian as he continued cultivating.
The boy frowned before breaking into a grin, "It's you, isn't it? Are you scared? Acting like such a tough guy, huh?"
The boy continued pestering Qing Tian, asking one stupid question after another. Qing Tian was about to snap and break the boy's neck before realizing that the only way this kid could be here was if he was in the competition.
'Let's humiliate him instead,' thought Qing Tian as he calmed himself.
"Ah… haha… yeah, that's me," said Qing Tian timidly as he lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.
"Eh, see, not such a tough guy anymore," the boy said as he grinned at Qing Tian. His eyes closed into slits before he raised his hand and slapped the back of Qing Tian's head.
'Damn, this kid is dead,' thought Qing Tian as he tried reigning in his killing Intent.
