When the process was completed, he was lucky and obtained the Heavenly God Spiritual Veins with the Evil God''s Divine Veins(PLOT ARMOR), at the age of 7, he obtained the World Defying Heaven Manual in a mountain near the Imperial Palace of the Demon Imperial City.

Every single one of them gathered a big army made with everyone they had that was at least at the Divine Master Realm, because they wanted to eliminate someone: The Evil God Jr., God of Destruction and Realm King of the strongest and the least populated Realm, him, Xiao Qiangwei. Why? It was not because of his treasures and legacies, but it was because he surpassed everyone, he was the only one who entered the True God realm while being born as a mortal. This news shocked everyone, but at the same time, the four Royal Realm Kings were in alert state because it could mean even their death, because they knew that Xiao Qiangwei had the Divine Veins of the Evil God and what could he do with them. So they prepared things that coukd damage him, like pure profound energy, physical enchantments, seal formations and started attacking him a year later since the news. Meanwhile in the balcony... Xiao Qiangwei: why the fuck did I announced my breakthrought? Those sons of bitches now want to kill this God. Xiao Qiangwei turned back inside his palace and prepared himself, he just took a pair of metal claws, they were azure colored claws made of the second strongest metal ever created, as a weapon they were just weaker than the Heaven Punishment Ancestral Sword, those claws could be considered as an Heavenly Profound Treasure if they had a special ability, but Xiao Qiangwei created them only to cut and tear, nothing more and nothing less. Then he jumped just some kilometers away from the army while releasing his pressure as a True God, the army was backing away little by little before everyone started eating a strange pill, suddenly everyone got berserk and their cultivation raised up to either 10th Divine Master or directly to Divine Extintion. This shocked a bit Xiao Qiangwei but then got a serious face. Then the entire army started going against Xiao Qiangwei who started talking now Xiao Qiangwei: Tsk... Fucking dogs, just because you got over some realms you still can''t beat your daddy here! ''Dragon Soul Domain!'' He activated the skill the Primordial Azure dragon gave him after the trial but no one stopped, everyone''s mind now can be compared to the one of a mindless zombie in a divine body, some unleashed their profound skill while others attacked him with weapons, some weapons and profound skills broke against his body while some Profound skills didn''t harm him due to the Evil God''s power. Xiao Qiangwei just moved here and there and swung his claws, and in a mattet of minutes he killed 9/10 of the army. But they still attacked him with everything they had and Xiao Qiengwei started feeling a bit numb in some parts of his body due to the number of attacks that hit him, so he used directly the sixth gate that he unlocked some time ago ''Rampage'' and his power got 8 times stronger than before. [50 minutes later] The army was now at 1/10 of what it was before, Xiao Qiangwei''s body was numb from the attacks and was weakening from the sixth gate, while he still didn''t seen the four kings Xiao Qiangwei: ''Those scumbags should be hidden from me...'' Then he finished the job of killing all the army after 4 minutes of swinging and unleashing his flames and ice everywhere. Now he put himself to ''Rumbling Heaven'' and searched around with his divine senses, but didn''t find nothing until he felt a sharp pain in the back up to his abdomen and seen a strange profound weapon that was obviously enchanted with much power. The blade trespassed Xiao Qiangwei''s abdomen too easily and the wound hurted him more than it should. Xiao Quangwei: What... what is this... ''There should not be any weapon that can even injure my body! Heavenly Chief Star God Emperor: This... Moon God Realm King: Is a weapon made specifically against you. Eternal Heaven God Emperor: We four talked together and were able to put together the strongest metal in the primal chaos dimension and made this weapon. Brahma Realm God Emperor: Your Evil God''s veins protect you from elements and attributes, but this blade was enchanted with a Dragon Slaying enchantment and Absolute God Slaying Poison. Heavenly Chief Star God Emperor: Since your body is made of only draconic blood, this blade can injure you and the poison will kill you slowly but certainly. Xiao Qiangwei: What?! But you will die too from just being near this poison! Moon God Realm King: This is a price we need to pay to eliminate you, you may be an unstoppable force in future and we will do everything to give peace to everyone. Xiao Qiangwei: Haaah... Well, you did it, congratulations... At least let this god say his final regrets... Brahma Realm God Emperor: Well, we God Emperors will die together due to the poison so this Emperor thinks that we could say something, my regret is to not be able to see my daughter grow up... Heavenly Chief Star God Emperor: My regret is to use my family for my own personal gains... Moon Real God Emperor: My regret is to not being able to marry the woman I always loved... Eternal Heaven God Emperor: My regret is to not being able to see how will end the God Realm after this war... Xiao Qiangwei: My regret... is... to not stay alone... it hurts so much... being lonely... no one helps you... no one loves you... no one smiles at you... since my tenth year... I was lonely, my parents... *sob* died in front of me... and no one wanted to stay with me... It seems the poison got me now... I will leave first, this God says goodbye... ''Did I just fucking started crying?'' All 4 the kings: Goodbye... God of Destruction... Then Xiao Qiangwei closed his eyes and the pain stopped. 2 First Rebirth and Happiness Xiao Qiangwei had his eyes still closed, but strangely could not feel anything stucked in his torso and most importantly he could not feel any pain. He opened his eyes expecting either to be in his Realm or the Heaven, but he didn''t expected a completely blank world in front of him, he slowly got up and looked around but couldn''t feel anything with his divine senses. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him. ?: Hey, I am here. Xiao Qiangwei was surprised but didn''t show it in his face and turned around to find a black figure covered with clothes from head to toe, he couldn''t see his face but the thing that was the most intimidating of him is like he couldn''t sense him. When he tried to see what cultivation this guy was, he could not even feel the body itself, it was like he was feeling air in front of him, but he could clearly see him, he though that it was just an illusion, but when the figure slapped him, he threw all the ideas of Xiao Qiangwei out from the window. ?: You little fucker, wake up! Xiao Qiangwei: you... did you really hurt this God? ?: Yes, any problem? And don''t you dare to call yourself god, the only god between us is me! Xiao Qiangwei: what do you mean? This God was at the stage of a True God before, obviously I am a god! God: Shut that mouth, that stage is just like the other ones, if you want to compare with me you have a really fucking long way, even with all the shitty legacies you have. Xiao Qiangwei: You... *sigh* Do you know where are we? God: This... is my universe, but I prefer to call it ''Office''. Xiao Qiangwei: Your? So you are the... God: I am God here, no one is superior to me in this realm that is colored like my bathroom. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, why I am here? God: Nothing much, you just won a lottery and here is the price, almost infinite reincarnation! Xiao Qiangwei: ...what? God: outside of the little park you call ''Primal Chaos Dimension'' there are many other universes with many different characteristics, end each one of them has a ''good side'' and a ''bad side'', in this dimension, you were the ''good side'' while the other kings were the ''bad side''. You will reincarnate in those realms because you were the 1.000.000.000.000th dead guy. Xiao Qiangwei: I am the what? God: That isn''t important, you will reincarnate in different realms, but there are rules you will follow regardless of your consent: 1) Cultivation restarts every time you reincarnate. 2) You will always reborn, no teleportation with your actual actual body and cultivation realm. 3) The World Power in that universe will be converted in Profound Energy when you start cultivating. 4) You will be given a summary about how the world works and his technology. 5) You will still have your legacies, but you need to practice your Profound Arts again. 6) Except for the original world, you will forget anything that regards the previous world in which you were born. 7) the previous rule will exclude ''enlightments'' and new techniques regarding your Profound Arts. 8) in certain worlds you will receive a ''custom weapon''. 9) When reincarnating, you will not import any ability or soul bound weapon that was acquired in the previous world to the next one with some exceptions. God: you got them? Xiao Qiangwei: what is the catch? God: there is none, those are the only rules you will follow, any questions? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, what happened to my original world? God: nothing much, the four King realms got a new king while your realm was destroyed the moment you died, unfortunately, Devils will invade soon and kill everyone Xiao Qiangwei: I got it... I am already dead so it is useless thinking about trying to do something there... Well, where do we start? God: We will start right now. Well, see ya later... Oh, I almost forgot, your cultivation speed will change world from world, since the world you are going to is in ''Technology'' category, your cultivation speed will be minimum. Xiao Qiangwei: so this is a lower realm? God: more lower, try to not reveal your powers unless you can hide them, even if they are lower worlds, they have technology to destroy little planets. Xiao Qiangwei: interessing... I will follow your instructions. then his body disappeared in a flash of light and there was silence. God: Well, time to satisfy people with my stories. (for those who didn''t get it yet, Author is God) then he took out a Tablet from nothing, opened ''Webnovel'' and started typing something. [unknown/unknown/hospital] Xiao Qiangwei was opening his eyes but found himself in a dark place, it was so dark that he couldn''t even see his body, then he tried to check his cultivation but like God said, it was non-existent right now, he tried to cultivate with the ''World-Defying Heaven Manual'', but the energy he gathered was really pitiful even for a Lower Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wow... God didn''t joke when he said that the energy here is minimum... In 20 years I could get only to a mere Tyrant Profound Realm, and that is only if I constantly cultivate and the energy around doesn''t leave. Fortunately I have the ''Great Way of the Buddha'' and my bloodlin-Fuck something got in my eyes! Where in the hell am I?'' Xiao Qiangwei had some guesses when God said he would reborn so he didn''t cultivate for fear someone will find out. [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was imagining how the world should be, he found out that he was inside a womb thanks to the voices he could hear outside, and it seems that he recognized their language. While he was inside for a month, he felt something entering his mind and found out that it was the ''summary'' God was talking about. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I wonder if I am able to use one of those IS... God should give me one later...'' Xiao Qiangwei was excited to see things he never seen or used, it was like the first time he consciously got a legacy. Suddenly he felt a suction force towards a direction Xiao Qiangwei: ''Finally... I will have a family again! And when I will have my IS, I will show those women to not disrespect me, seems like the mech really unbalanced things in this world, time to fix it'' (not Thanos method) [later] He started to faking his cry to not make the people around him suspicious about him, when he looked around he was wide eyes from the technology inside this room, and then he found himself in gentle arms, when he looked up, he seen a woman that was smiling at him while playing with his nose Xiao Qiangwei: ''so this is my mother? Thank you God, to not make me feel alone anymore...'' And for the first time since his old family died, he smiled. 3 Kindergarten Mother: He''s so cute! then a man that shoukd be his father came near the bed in the hospital a man with a smile came, Xiao Qiangwei guessed he should be the father Father: Honey, can I see my son a bit? Mother: Here. then she gave Xiao Qiangwei to her husband, who hugged him dangerously near his shaved beard Father: here is your father, little guy! Xiao Qiangwei: wah! wah! (It hurts you fucking old man! don''t rub your beard!) then Xiao Qiangwei put his hands in the father mouth and stretched it Father: Ouuuch Ouuuuch! feemf that thif little guy doefn''t lik me...(seems that this little guy doesn''t like me...) then Xiao Qiangwei released him and the father gave back the baby to the mother Father: how do we name the little champion? Mother: i already decided one... we will call him Qiangwei, Xiao Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: waah?(wait what?) Mother: yes, that will be your name! [3 months later] Xiao Qiangwei was in his bed and should be sleeping, but instead, he started cultivating, God was right, he still have the legacies from his previous life, the Divine Veins included. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It seems that no one could detect any form of Profound Energy, time to start cultivating'' then he cultivated every night, and around his fist birthday he got at the 3th Elementary Profound Realm, he learned that they were in a world called Earth, the continent was Asia and were in China, he was surprised from the size of the world, it was around three time the size of the Illusory Demon Realm, he never knew that this planet was so small. [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei had 3 years now and was at the 10th Elementary Realm, if the concept of cultivation existed in this world, he would be classified as a God in terms of speed, but it was only thanks to the World-Defying Heaven Manual, Heavenly Gid Spiritual Veins and to the Evil God''s Divine Veins. Around some weeks ago he found out that his mother was a pilot of an IS, and when he watched her IS, he got stars in his eyes, in the Realm of the Gods the technology was almost non-existent compared to this Lower Realm. His Dragon God Marrow produced enough blood to make his body as strong as an adult one, he planned to comprehend the Great Way of the Buddha at the age of 10, to make sure that his body don''t get harmed, he was still not sure that the Profound Art would not hurt his infant body, even if he was a bit stronger than a normal baby(in his standard). [1 year later] He started going to the kindergarten, but was alone because he didn''t like kids, but he was strangely more popular with girls than boys, he was almost always alone in his previous life, so he didn''t knew almost anything about relationships but he still knew things like how babies were born, marriage, fiancees, and other similar things. A week later some kids came near him, the boys thought that his platinum blonde hair were cool while the girls wanted to be friends because he was cute, Xiao Qiangwei hated being called cute but he still couldn''t make things like fling them away or other things, it seems that killing people was bad for everyone. Between some of his new friends, he became friends with a girl named Huang Lingyin, she was the daugher of a married couple that owned a Restaurant, some times his parents would take him to eat together in that restaurant, and he would play a bit with her, even if their game was a bit stupid in Xiao Qiangwei''s point of view, he was happy that he could play with someone, because at the Illusory Demon Realm, he would either help his family, or later when his parents died, he would travel around the world while trying to not get killed. [2 years later] he was 6 years now, and almost finished the Kindergarten, he and Huang Lingyin became best friends, they would play every week at either her home or his, while in the night he still cultivated, now he was at the 6th Nascent Profound Realm while his body was as strong as Iron thabks to the Dragon God bloodline, when he though about the reaction of the people at the Illusory Demon Realm, he laughed a bit. Huang Lingyin: hey Wei, let''s play tag! This time I will win! Xiao Qiangwei: You will never win against me Yin! Huang Lingyin started calling him ''Wei'' because the name was too long for her, while Xiao Qiangwei did the same because she didn''t liked being called ''Yin''. Huang Lingyin: stop calling me that! My name is Lingyin! Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t care, start running Huang Lingyin got a despaired face and runned away from him as fast as she could, but after 30 seconds, Xiao Qiangwei started moving, and already found her Huang Lingyin: So fast! then in the span of 3 seconds, she felt an hand in her shoulder Xiao Qiangwei: I won... Huang Lingyin: how can you be do fast?! Xiao Qiangwei: because I am better than you! right now Huang Lingyin pouted, then she got an idea and smiled after hidding something behind her with both hands Huang Lingyin: Hey Wei, i have hidden a candy in my hands, if you can find it, I will give you a kiss! Xiao Qiangwei: Ok... ''kiss my ass! why would i want a kiss from a little girl?! At least i would like one from a mature woman...'' since his profound strength is still too low, he couldn''t use his profound senses and decided to use his luck, Huang Lingyin then extended both her little arms forward. Xiao Qiangwei choose her left hand and she opened it to reveal a candy. Before Xiao Qiangwei registered what he had seen, she kissed him in the mouth and some seconds later, she backed away from him with a smile while he was still shocked from what happened Huang Lingyin: Mama said that when you like someone you should give a kiss to the mouth. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I think she either doesn''t get what her mother said or she really like me... I hope it would be the former, I don''t want a kid as my fiancee'' 4 Hong Long Scarlet Dragon [1 year later] Xiao Qiangwei already finished Kindergarten and was in the Elementary school in the same class of Huang Lingyin, when she found out about this news she became excited that his best friend was with her while Xiao Qiangwei was excited for the new knowledge this world has to offer. Xiao Qiangwei cultivated up to the 7th Nascent Profound Realm, and his flesh started getting stronger too thanks to his veins(normal ones) that were feeding his cells with the Dragon God Blood, while his bones became as strong as steel and his marrow was even stronger. Some moments after the class started with the presentations, it was Xiao Qiangwei''s turn. Xiao Qiangwei: This junior is surnamed Xiao and named Qiangwei, please take care of me! Teacher: Oh? A disciplined kid here? Heh, you can go to your seat now At Huang Lingyin''s turn Huang Lingyin: Hi! I am Huang Lingyin, nice to meet you! Teacher: ok, Huang, you can go to your seat then after the presentation finished, the class started, while the others were either listening or talking to each others, Huang Lingyin was looking at Xiao Qiangwei that was writing exactly everything his teacher was saying. [after school] Huang Lingyin: Hey Wei, how was your first day of school? Xiao Qiangwei: It was really interesting! There are many things that we still don''t know and they will teach us how the world works, like maths, geography, history, chinese, engl-*Boom* He was interrupted from Huang Lingyin''s head that exploded from the sheer number of information and smoke was coming out from her ears, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was sweatdropping. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I think her brain is still too underveloped...'' [3 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was meditating, but this time it wasn''t for cultivating, but it was to enter the first stage of Great Way of the Buddha, he could enter it almost immediately because the requirement was to comprehend the first stage. And since he was already at the Eighth stage that gave him 1 million kilograms in his previous life, it was incredibly easy the Profound Art, it was just that he never used it for fear it would harm his body, when he activated the Profound Art, he could feel his body getting stronger, from head to toe, even his hairs. Xiao Qiangwei: If I didn''t forget it, this should be 1500 Kilograms stage. then he got near a sturdy tree and punched it with just physical strength, the tree flew away and crashed with several others. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Oh fuck... better get away!'' [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei would passively cultivate the Great Way of the Buddha 24 hours while he cultivates at night, his Realm was at the 2nd True Profound Realm. While he was cultivating, a note, a crimson bracelet and a book suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiao Qiangwei jumped from his bed in fear, but when he seen it was just a note, he got alerted and read the note. "Dear Xiao Qiangwei, Hello! I am God, I just wanted to give this to you and congratulate you to get to the first stage of the Great Way of the Buddha, even if I was a month late... Well, do you see that crimson bracelet? That is your custom IS, don''t underestimate it, that little guy get stronger the more you are, you just need to find an open space, put some Profound Energy inside the bracelet, and it will transform itself in your IS. (AN: search for Cardinal Crimson Promotion) It is a bit different from others so if someone questions you, tell them a friend made it for me. The book is a Manual about how to use the IS. Good Luck- God" Xiao Qiangwei: so it was him... well, time to try the new IS! then he grabbed the bracelet, put it on, and silenty rushed outside at the nearest mountain. When he got in that mountain, he read the manual a bit fast and got everything in his mind, the instructions were simple. The IS would use his Profound Energy, everytime he would use the IS, his strength would be scanned and the IS would get strong enough to match him, and other informations about the weapons implanted in the IS, it seems that the weapons he could use are his claws, punches and an energy cannon implanted in the wings. Xiao Qiangwei got excited and put his profound energy inside the bracelet, then the bracelet glowed and some moments later he found himself in a giant suit, suddenly, he could see clearly, down at his right was the percentual of his Profound Energy while at left there was a minimap. Outside the suit instead of the platinum blonde haired kid there was a 2.5 meters high crimson winged humanoid figure, his helm covered his entire face and resembled to a mechanical dragon, in his back, he had a tail that started from the middle of his back, he had big crimson wings that had 3 energy feathers each and two cannons implanted over the wings. Then Xiao Qiangwei moved around his body to test himself, then he used the profound flying technique but it didn''t work, then he moved a bit his wings and he started fluctuating, it seems that he needs to use some of the IS options to fly instead of the profound energy. after an hour of practice without using his weapons, he dismissed his IS and looked at his bracelet with a smile Xiao Qiangwei: I think I will name you Hong Long(AN: in google it should mean Crimson Dragon, tell me if I mistook it) Then he got back at his home still silently while taking his manual between his arm and his left side. [7 months later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the 3rd True Profound Realm right now, but he didn''t care much of it, right now his best friend Huang Lingyin''s family was moving out from china and she said to him that she would leave for Japan, Xiao Qiangwei became extremely sad about this news. Even if he was a reincarnator who suffered more than 30 years of loneliness, it would hurt him anyways seeing one of his good friends leaving him alone with his parents. Huang Lingyin: Sorry that we need to leave you¡­ I didn''t want this, but I want you to promise me that if I will become an excellent cook the next time we meet, you will become my boyfriend, can you? Xiao Qiangwei: No, I can''t promise it¡­ Huang Lingyin''s heart trembled from his answer and asked him with a shaking voice Huang Lingyin: W-Why? Xiao Qiangwei just got in front of her and kissed her in her mouth Xiao Qiangwei: Because we are already a couple, heh ''I can''t believe I really said that¡­ I can''t believe I would say that to someone...'' Huang Lingyin''s face was red and smoke got out from her ears from being embarassed, then she looked at Xiao Qiangwei who was smiling and looked at her with his amber eyes at her green eyes. Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t care if you are going to Japan or to America, I will wait for you here, if I don''t it just means that I am hunting you! Since you are leaving, I am going to tell you a secret¡­ then Xiao Qiangwei got to the ear of Huang Lingyin who was still red Xiao Qiangwei: I can use an IS¡­ when she heard that, she was shocked and forgot for a moment about what he did before Huang Lingyin: You are a- Hmph! she was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei put an hand in her mouth and put a finger in front of his mouth Xiao Qiangwei: Shhhh! It''s our secret! Well, I think it''s better that you leave now before your parents become worried about you. Huang Lingyin: Mh¡­ well, hope to see you soon then¡­ then Huang Lingyin left slowly, when she turned to another way, she started running from him due to her being embarassed, while Xiao Qiangwei just turned around and walked away, his parents were hidden behind a wall watching everything, but they didn''t knew their son''s secret. Then they shown themselves in front of Xiao Qiangwei Father: Good job son, this is how a real man conquest women! Mother: Oh, my son has already a girlfriend, would I need to expect already some grandsons or granddaughters? Xiao Qiangwei: Mom, Dad, can I stay a bit alone? they then seen their son''s face and noticed some tears falling down, they got sad too and took him at their home and left him to his bedroom, then he lied in his bed Xiao Qiangwei: ''Heh, funny, I got killed from poison while having the bane of my existence stucked in my chest and I cried a bit from telling my regrets to my enemies, while I just separated from my new girlfriend probably for some years, and I cried too... I am becoming too soft... But I like it, knowing that other people became more important to me...'' 5 Mondo Grossos Scarlet Dragon [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei had 12 years now, and was cultivating, right now his profound strength is at 5th True Profound Realm while his physical prowess finally overcame his profound strength, he was around 7th True Profound Realm, Xiao Qiangwei noticed that his cultivation was really slowing down. He speculated that after the 6th True Profound Realm, he couldn''t increase anymore due to the little amount of energy around him, but his physical strength would hit up to 10th True Profound Realm. Whe. he remembered about his Seven Gates he tested ''Burning Heart'' and found out he could mantain it for 5 minutes before serious problems appear. He deactivated his 2nd gate and got to his parents, they didn''t knew of his special condition, and never will they, but a year aho they found out about him being an IS pilot, he underestimated the technology in this world while his parents watched through a secret camera his tests with his weapons. When his parents knew about him being an IS pilot, they were shocked and then full of pride, when they watched again his training with IS, they were confident that he was incredibly strong even for a 12 years old boy, they though that if he would fight against an instructor, Xiao Qiangwei would win immediately. And today was a special day for the family, Xiao Qiangwei always liked watching news in TV, and when he heard about Mondo Grosso 2 years and half ago, he was excited because he would like to partecipate, firstly, he thought that he should disguise himself or wait until he grow up, but when his parents found out about his IS and didn''t get any bad reaction about it, it opened so many possibilities for many good fights(he still didn''t knew how weak the others were in their IS against hin). So they were transferring temporarily to Japan to let their son partecipate to Mondo Grosso(i don''t know where it is so i made it Japan), in normal circumstances they would not let Xiao Qiangwei partecipate due to the dangers of it, but in their entire lives with him, he has shown to be more responsible than an adult, but it was normal to them now, so they treated Xiao Qiangwei as an adult in certain moments. [5 months later] The family Xiao was living happily in their new home in Japan, Xiao Qiangwei and his family transferred themselves in the same city his girlfriend Lingyin should be, but he didn''t found her yet, he was a bit sad before thinking that if she really came back in China he would start laughing at her face. When they came there, they put everything together before greeting their neighbor, one of them had even a kid of the same age as Xiao Qiangwei, he and him became already friends, he was called Ichika Orimura, and in summary, he was a pussy... Everything he does in front of Xiao Qiangwei, was something a shy, powerless and idiot guy would do, and Xiao Qiangwei would laugh at him. Sometimes he would see even his big sister Chifuyu Orimura, she was a beauty, but she still couldn''t compare to the ones he seen in his previous life, but in this world''s standart, she would be 9/10, sometimes he would spectate her training, and it was really stupid in his eyes... If normal people would see her training, they would think that she was near being a superhuman, but in Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes, she was so slow, weak and fragile, because his strength is already enough to make skyscrapers fall with a single normal punch, his speed could surpass even many flying IS, and his body could even take many hits without being damaged, his Great Way of the Buddha got at the second stage giving him 5000 Kg in his arms, while he is nearing the 6th True Profound Realm. Right now he was covered from head to toe with a black cloak, he registered himself with his actual name and told to the host of the Mondo Grosso to make it a secret until the end of the tournament, they refused before he shown them that he was a boy capable of piloting IS. When the tournament started, he won battle after battle while still being hidden from everyone''s eyes it continued like this until he faced a familiar face, it was the final fight, and his opponent was Chifuyu Orimura in her Kurezakura, while he activated his Hong Long. When he first shown his IS, everyone was surprised from the unique appearance, it didn''t show Xiao Qiangwei because he was inside the IS, litterally, so everyone now was excited to see the previous champion of Mondo Grosso against the mysterious ''woman''. They prepared themselves, Chifuyu prepared her katana while Xiao Qiangwei stood there without moving "Begin!" [Chifuyu Pov] I was at the second Mondo Grosso against this mysterious woman, she seemed really short but I can''t underestimate her, she defeated every enemies she was put against in a span of 10 seconds, this would show that her IS is a heavy hitter, a dangerous one, but if she actually got it like that, then her IS should be really slo- Chifuyu Orimura: OOF! *insert Roblox Death sound* [normal Pov] she was flung in air from a punch that was given from Xiao Qiangwei who suddenly appeared in front of her, the punch took out 75% of her shield already, he actually limited himself to see how much would she resist, and it satisfied him a bit, she stabilized herself in air and was breathing heavily due to the damage that the shield couldn''t take Chifuyu Orimura: ''what is that monstruous speed and power?! It isn''t even something a normal IS could do! Who is she?'' then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared again leaving a bit of dust flying around his previous place and suddenly appeared over her with an incoming tail, he intentionally made it slow so she could parry it, Chifuyu moved her katana over her to block the tail, but it broke from the sheer strength of the tail that smacked her to the ground, leaving a shocked and defeated Chifuyu and silent spectators. The first champion of Mondo Grosso... was dominated in 2 hits, then the announcer talked. "Well... this was unexpectes even from me... but there is a bigger surprise, the winner of the Mondo Grosso is her, or better saying HIM! Xiao Qiangwei, the first male pilot of IS!" Chifuyu Orimura: ''Xiao Qiangwei?! That kid was the mysterious woman?! How? Why? When?! Why I have so many questions?!''(TFS reference!) Everyone: EEHHHH?! then Xiao Qiangwei deactivated his IS and removed his cloak, showing off his short platinum blonde hair, and his stature of a 13 years old kid Xiao Qiangwei: yo! Chifuyu Orimura: Xiao... Qiangwei?! What... are you doing here? Xiao Qiangwei: obviously I wanted to partecipate, but I was disappointed... Well, maybe in future I will have better fights... Bye! then he activated only his wings and flew out from the Mondo Grosso as fast as he could before journalists came there. [later] he arrived at home and seen his family and Ichika waiting for him, the former had a smile full of pride while his friend had stars in his eyes from admiration. Father: Son, we are proud of you, being able to defeat the champion of the previous Mondo Grosso is a big thing! If we knew who made that IS... Mother: fortunately you weren''t injured, i was so worried about you! then she hugged Xiao Qiangwei Ichika Orimura: Wow! you were that IS pilot?! Fantastic! Hey, how does it feel using an IS? Xiao Qiangwei smiled at them and after some talks he got said bye to Ichika and his big sister that came some minutes ago with a smile because she stopped feeling the weight of the title of the ''strongest'', Xiao Qiangwei knew how she felt, he litterally became a god around 15 years ago, he then turned at home to rest. 6 IS Accademy [a week later] Xiao Qiangwei was cultivating with the World-defying Heaven Manual until he heard someone knocking the door of his home. Some minutes later he stopped cultivating and his parents entered his room with a young woman with purple eyes, long purple pink hair that extends to her hips, and the most interesting thing about her is the pair of bunny ears. Tabane Shinonono: hey, are you Xiao Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: depends on who is asking Tabane Shinonono: I am Tabane Shinonono! The creator of IS! Father/Mother: EEHHHH?! Xiao Qiangwei: mom, dad, I think we need to stay alone for a bit... the father and his son looked eachother with a serious face and the former nodded before leaving with his wife. Xiao Qiangwei: What do you want to know from this one? Then she was in front of Xiao Qiangwei with an excited face Tabane Shinonono: Can I see your IS?! Xiao Qiangwei: no Tabane Shinonono: please Xiao Qiangwei: no Tabane Shinonono: pleeeeease Xiao Qiangwei: no Tabane Shinonono: I''ll let you touch my boobs! ''Heh, I will not let him!'' Xiao Qiangwei: no Tabane Shinonono: ''It didn''t worked?!'' I will do anything! Xiao Qiangwei: you know that I will not give it to you, right? Tabane Shinonono: then I will forcefully take it! [outside] Ichika Orimura: Chufuyu-nee, do you really need to go in Germany? Chifuyu Orimura: well, since I lost the tournament, someone offered a job for me as an instructor there, but don''t worry, I will return so- *crack* she was interrupted when a figure was thrown outside the window of her neighbor, the figure was Tabane Shinonono, while at the broken window there was Xiao Qiangwei with a blank face. Tabane then fell in her feets and turned around and smiled Tabane Shinonono: Hey Chi-chan! Hi Ikkun! Chifuyu/Ichika Orimura: Hi? Xiao Qiangwei: I will always tell you ''No'', and you can''t beat me, if you want to try again, be my guest then he jumped from the window and landed in his feet with ease and crossed his arms before turning his head Xiao Qiangwei: Oh hey guys, how is it going? Chifuyu Orimura: What is happening? Xiao Qiangwei: nothing much, she insisted to take my IS and when she tried to take it with force I threw her out from home. then he stretched an hand and took Tabane''s fist while still looking at his neighbors, the fist raised a bit of dust behind Xiao Qiangwei but the latter stood there with a blank face before turning to the attacker Xiao Qiangwei: well, you asked for it... "Colossal fist of the King"(part of the Personal Profound Art) Tabane Shinonono: OOF! *roblox death sound* then he punched Tabane''s stomach, the latter flew away over some dozens of houses, and when she fell down, she was unconscious. The brother and sister duo Orimura watched Xiao Qiangwei with open mouths while he was getting back at his home while whistling. [3 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was 16 years old, while Chifuyu was in Germany, Xiao Qiangwei became a 6th True Profound Practitioner and the energy around him was too weak to help him, while his physical prowess got at 10th True Profound Realm, and the moment he would achieve the third stage of the Great Way of the Buddha he would breakthrough and hit the 7th Spirit Profound Realm. 2 years ago, Chifuyu came back and after saying hello to her little brother, she started sparring with Xiao Qiangwei, who accepted reclutantly, every time she would attack him, either he would continuously dodge or when he is a bit impatient he would take her down to the ground until she is tired. If she was the same of the first Mondo Grosso, she would be angry that a kid of 14 years beaten her always, but when she lost to the tournament she changed a bit, she respected the strength of her neighbor''s only child. She and Tabane didn''t knew how he became so strong so they decided to observe him with hidden cameras, Tabane would observe what training he would do but she seen him only staying in Lotus pose, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was cultivating for the third stage of Great Way of the Buddha. Right now he was in front of the IS accademy with every girl watching him and talking to each other about his looks. He still had the platinum blonde hair but now they were shoulder-length and smooth, his eyes became sharp and his Amber colored eyes added to his charm, his skin was a bit pale, but it was not because he was sick, but thanks to his Profound Art, he stood at 5,8 inches and was wearing his uniform. When he finished the Middle School, he was offered a place as a student for this accademy, he suspected that Tabane Shinonono did something, but he will be surprised when he will find out that Chifuyu would be an instructor in the same accademy he would go to. [later] He entered the class he should be and jumped a bit when he heard everyone in class screamed and he was a bit annoyed from them Xiao Qiangwei: Shut the fuck up! everyone stood in silence, and noticed that almost everyone was a girl, but before he checked the only boy of the class... Ichika Orimura: Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: Wait, what the fuck are you doing here Ichika? You can use an IS too? Ichika Orimura: yep, at least you are with me in this class... I felt alone before you came Xiao Qiangwei: are you gay? Ichika Orimura: Wait no! I am Straight! Xiao Qiangwei: ok... so, where I am going to sit? Ichika Orimura: you can sit at my right right here! Xiao Qiangwei: ok. then he walked towards his new seat while the girls were talking between each others about him and Ichika, then he whispered at Ichika Xiao Qiangwei: hey Ichika, what are their problems? Ichika: since we are the only male pilots of IS in the world, they are curious about us. But you don''t need to worry since you are fast... Xiao Qiangwei: fast for what? Ichika didn''t respond and had a shit eating grin. Xiao Qiangwei: ''What the fuck is he planning?'' Then what he presumed wasbtheir teacher entered the room Yamada Maya: Ok, I''m Yamada Maya, this class'' vice-instructor. I''m looking forward to the year ahead, everyone~ Xiao Qiangwei: ''vice-instructor? then who is our main teacher?'' Then, um... for our first SHR(short homeroom)... Let''s start with some self-introductions. [later] Yamada Maya: Orimura Ichika-kun? Orimura Ichika-kun? Xiao Qiangwei was looking with a smirk at his friend that was sleeping in his desk, after some seconds he woke up and jumped from his seat Ichika Orimura: Y-Yes!! Yamada Maya: Kya!! A-ah, sorry for talking in a loud voice! Are you angry? You''re not angry, right? I''m sorry, I''m sorry! But, you see, the self-introduction with "A", and we''re already moved to "Orimura" under "O"... Ichika Orimura: no, no, you don''t have to apologize that much... I''ll go and introduce myself. Yamada Maya: R... Really? Xiao Qiangwei was giggling at his friend behavior before he heard the door opening, when he turned he was shocked to see Chifuyu standing with professional clothes, when she noticed him she got wide eyes before calming herself and seen her little brother. Chifuyu Orimura: Already causing trouble on the first day, Orimura? Ichika Orimura: Eh? then there was silence in the class and everyone looked at Chifuyu 7 Cecilia Alco [later] Chifuyu Orimura called Xiao Qiangwei for introducing himself after she scolded Ichika for his shitty introduction and calling her ''Big Sis'' Xiao Qiangwei: This Junior is surnamed Xiao and named Qiangwei, I am happy to meet you girls... at this Ichika''s head hunged down due to his friend technically calling him a ''girl'' Xiao Qiangwei: ...Maybe some people know who I am and some not, but I don''t care about my identity and I hope you can consider me as a student like everyone here. Chifuyu Orimura: good, now go to your seat Xiao Qiengwei: Ok. Chifuyu Orimura: Alright!! SHR is over. Everyone will memorize the core knowledge of the IS in half a month!! After that, we''ll begin the real IS training, so make sure to get down the basics maneuvers down in half a month. Understand? If you understand, respond, even if you don''t understand respond. Just respond to whatever I say. Everyone: Yes! [later] the lesson finished and Xiao Qiangwei stood up Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Ichika, can I know when you did get an IS? ?: Xiao Qiangwei? he turned towards the voice and found another girl behind him, she had long brown hair that she keeps in a messy ponytail, had dark blue eyes anf her height was similar to his. Xiao Qiangwei: Yes? Houki Shinonono: I am Shinonono Houki and I would like to ask if I can talk privately with your friend Orimura Ichika. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, hey Ichika, let''s talk later, bye. Ichika Orimura: Houki? then Xiao Qiangwei left them together and started looking around the school. [10 minutes later] Xiao Qiangwei heard the bell and panicked a bit, then he started running, he was so fast that other people would see only a little gust of wind passing near them. In the span of 10 seconds he runned two floors and came in front of his door, he opened it and found everyone looking at him while Chifuyu was glancing at him Chifuyu Orimura: go to your seat. Xiao Qiengwei: yes. after some moments she started talking Chifuyu Orimura: At this time, I will explain the specialties of each of the parts used in a mission... But before that, we need to decide a class representative for the class exhibition match that takes place in 2 weeks. Extras: I vote for Xiao Qiangwei!/ yeah, I agree/ nice idea!/ I am going to vote for Orimura-kun!/ me too! Xiao Qiangwei: ''So I am going to be something like their leader? Interesting'' Cecilia Alcott: I can''t agree with that! everyone turned towards the girl who exclaimed that Cecilia Alcott: I can''t agree with a selection process like this! First of all, having a man be our class representative is an embarassment! Are you asking I, Cecilia Alcott, to bear this kind of humiliation for an entire year?! Xiao Qiangwei: No one fucking cares about how you feel, either vote for someone other than me or Ichika or you shut the hell up! Extras: Oooohhhhhh! Cecilia Alcott: How dare you talk to me like that! I am obviously better than you! I even beaten an instructor at the Entrance Exam! Xiao Qiangwei then turned to Chifuyu Xiao Qiengwui: Hey Teacher, should I talk? Chifuyu Orimura: please don''t, otherwise it will be a mess fixing everything... Xiao Qiengwui: Ok. then he turned back at Cecilia Xiao Qiangwei: then how do you want to fix this? Cecilia Alcott: I''ll challenge you to a duel! Xiao Qiangwei: i hope you don''t disappoint me, Ichika for safety save a bed in the infirmary for her. Extras: Ohhh!/ Burned!/hahahaha! Chifuyu Orimura: Silence! Then it''s decided, the duel will take place on monday one week from now. The time will be after class at the 3rd arena, both of you prepare yourselves. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was looking for his home but before he found it, he encountered Chifuyu Chifuyu Orimura: Hey... Xiao Qiangwei: yo. Chifuyu Orimura: so can I know when you received the invite? Xiao Qiangwei: it was after I ended the middle school, is that the only thing you wanted to talk about? Chifuyu Orimura: no, there are two more things I wanted to say, the first is to request you to not injure too much Alcott. Xiao Qiangwei: don''t worry, I will only destroy her shield, what is the second thing? Chifuyu then smiled at him and said while patting his head Chifuyu Orimura: I welcome you to the IS accademy, Champion. Xiao Qiangwei: pat me in the head another time and I swear that in our the next spar I break something. Chifuyu then retracted her hand fast and coughed a bit Chifuyu Orimura: Well, your room is that one, bye. then she walked away from him while Xiao Qiangwei looked towards the door of his room and entered. The room was bigger than his previous bedroom, it had a big TV, two beds separated from each other, a desk at the corner of the room, at the right of the desk there was a big window, between the two beds was a lamp, to the opposite of the lamp there was a wardrobe, while at the left of it were two doors, one was for the kitchen while the other was for the bathroom. Xiao Qiangwei: *whistle* they really did a good job here, and it seems that I am alone he-DON''T LOOK!! *pow* he was interrupted when in the room next to his a girl screamed and hit someone or something with a blunt weapon. Xiao Qiangwei was annoyed from it and then he screamed at the wall Xiao Qiangwei: Shut Up! then there was silence until someone talked from the other side Ichika Orimura: Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: eh? Ichika, did you release that girly scream? Ichika Orimura: Obviously not! It was Houki, the girl that wanted to talk with me before, you remember? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh! The sister of that crazy girl? Well, I am going to rest a bit, bye! Ichika Orimura: Bye then Xiao Qiangwei lied to the bed and cultivated the Great Way of the Buddha. 8 Complete Domination against the Enemy [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei, Ichika Orimura and Houki Shinonono were at the canteen to eat something, Xiao Qiangwei and Houki Shinonono became friends fast due to talking about Tabane''s behavior and what happened 3 years ago at Xiao Qiangwei''s home. Ichika: So, hey¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Mh? Ichika: How do you feel about your first fight? Xiao Qiangwei: I hope it would not be like Mondo Grosso¡­ Houki: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t tell anyone, but the reason your sister wanted to see my IS was because it was incredibly different from any IS existing, and because of the show I put at the tournament 3 years ago before flying away. Houki: A different IS? Wait, you are the pilot of Hong Long?! Xiao Qiangwei: Yep, fortunately your sister meddled a bit with the media and the part where the announcer declared my identity wasn''t put in TV, only the people that were originally at Mondo Grosso knows about me. Houki: That''s incredible... so you dominated the tournament at the age of 13? Ichika: you should see his sparrings, he was inhuman... Even when we played when we were small, like hide''n seek, tag, and races he would win always. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, how much do you know about IS? Ichika: I don''t know that much, i used one only for 20 minutes¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: well then, Houki, you train him. Houki: Why me? Xiao Qiangwei: I am the one with a special IS between us, and you are the creator''s sister, you should know something about them. Houki: haaah... ok, you guys can come to the kendo dojo after school. First, let''s see if you are still capable to going against me. [after school] *Pak* *pak* *pak* After some clashes with protective gears and wooden swords, Houki made Ichika fall, then she came in front of him Houki: Hey. Why have you become this weak? Ichika: I was a "Going Home" club member for all 3 years of middle school. And it''s beed some time since I last held a shinai. So, what does this have to do with IS? Xiao Qiangwei: Are you a retard? It matters more than the IS itself! Ichika: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei turned towards Houki and asked her Xiao Qiangwei: give me the wooden sword. Houki didn''t said anything and gave a spare one to him. Then he walked towards Ichika and started talking Xiao Qiangwei: Skills are more important than strength, right now I will limit myself to your level, Houki, come to me! Houki: but you still don''t have any protective gear Xiao Qiangwei: That thing will just weaken me, if I want I can take down an IS with bare hands, now come at me with everything you have! Then Houki nodded and put her helmed, then she got all out against Xiao Qiangwei, who just used the handle of the wooden sword to block her strike and slashed at her neck from her left, when the sword touched her neck, it shattered the helmed but left a shocked Houki unharmed. Xiao Qiangwei: See? I limited myself on your strength and speed, and look at what I did with just skill against Houki, this is Intent, only real masters of certain weapons can achieve this stage, this Intent could make a kid who possess it able to cut in two a car with a simple needle. Houki, train him for some hours everyday. Houki just nooded dumbly and seen Xiao Qiangwei walking to his seat, then she turned towards the right wall and had wide eyes from seeing that in the wall there was a big cut in it, Houki: ''Intent... eh? heh, I will never achieve that stage... well, better start training Ichika again'' Houki: Get up and take your sword! I''ll retrain you! Starting now, everyday, for three hours after school... I shall be training you!! Ichika: Huh? But... haaah... ok, I''ll do it [a weak later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking towards the stage against Alcott, who had already her IS deployed and was flying Cecilia Alcott: My, my, so you didn''t run away. Where is your IS? Xiao Qiangwei: This is the handicap I am giving to you, I will deploy only my IS'' wings then he made appear a pair of mechanical crimson dragon-like wings in his back and flew slowly in front of Cecilia, who had an enraged face Cecilia Alcott: Don''t joke with me! You will never win against me if you act like this! Use your IS! Xiao Qiangwei: That is a foolish though, the weapons used only has meaning in a fight between equals. With you and I, the weapons used holds no meaning at all. Watch... Then Xiao Qiangwei suddenly appeared in front of Cecilia with an hand just in front of her right chest Xiao Qiangwei: If I do this, my hand is almost instantly at your heart. Cecilia was shocked and an hint of fear appeared in her expression the moment she registered his words and actions she flew back as away as possible, when she glanced towards Xiao Qiangwei, he was not anymore in the place and she turned forward expecting him to be there, but he wasn''t there neither. Then she felt something touching her left armored arm and found Xiao Qiangwei''s right hand over it, grabbing her arm, and at this moment she felt like a little rock being carried from a child and her entire being together with the IS was flung towards the ground, lowering her shield to 43%. [meanwhile] Ichika and Houki were spectating him and were shocked with the method he was handling her, while Chifuyu and her vice-instructor Maya were watching the fight, for Chifuyu it was the third time she watched him fight personally. The first was against her, the second was against Tabane, that ended with just one hit, and this was the third, and in all three the fights, he never got all out with any attacks he did, even in her spars with him. But when she watched Xiao Qiangwei flinging the entire IS, that weights more than 400 Kilograms with the pilot included, like she would threw a bottle of water, she was questioning about how much strength he could have, it was even over her level, and she was considered a superhuman in terms of physical prowess. [in another place] a girl with brown twin tails was watching the fight in the spectactor''s seat and got wide eyes about how the fight was going, but she was more shocked about Xiao Qiangwei ?: Wei... It''s really you... [in the fight] Cecilia got up from the ground and started flying while unleashing all her armaments against Xiao Qiangwei, but he just stood there before disappearing and appeared in front of Cecilia while hitting her with a palm to her stomach and lowering her energy shield to 0%, winning the fight with ease. *BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN* "Match set, Winner: Xiao Qiangwei." 9 Party for the Class Rep! [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Houki and Ichika were walking in the hall, Ichika just received his IS ''Byakushiki'' and was excited to test it soon, while Houki was exasperated that the man she had a crush for was behaving like a child, while Xiao Qiangwei was just there, walking with them. Ichika: Congratulations for your victory Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: Congratulations my ass! that wasn''t even a fight, it seemed like I was bullying a kid... At least I hope you become strong in future, there''s no challenge at all. Houki: was it really that disappointing? Xiao Qiangwei: I took her down barehanded and with only 2 hits, and I even hold back! Houki and Ichika just sweatdropped and stood in silence. [meanwhile/Cecilia''s Pov] I was taking a shower when suddenly I was reminded of him, Xiao Qiangwei. How can someone be so strong? He beaten me in two simple hits... Am I so weak even after all the work I did after my parents died? No... He is not at an human level... Someone like him should not exist, but why... why do I always think about him since I lost? I wish to know more about him, what are his hobbies? Which are his friends? How did he became so strong? What is his favorite food?... Why during the fight his expression became so cold? Cecilia: Xiao Qiangwei, how did you become like this? [tomorrow/normal POV] Xiao Qiangwei was listening to the teacher Maya: the class rep. for class 1-1 is none other than Xiao Qiangwei! No objections, right? Everyone: No! [later] The class was outside the accademy, in a training ground, in front of the class there were Xiao Qiangwei and Cecilia Alcott Chifuyu: Alright, you two draw your armaments just as she said it, Cecilia Alcott drawn her IS in 0.45 seconds and looked around, but it seems that they were concentrated at Xiao Qiangwei, when she turned around, she saw a full armored crimson suit with a pair of energy wings and a tail in his back, when she looked at his IS, she then remembered that it was Hong Long, the IS of the champion of Mondo Grosso. Now she was thinking that she was too stupid to challenge the champion and even more being arrogant in front of him Extras: Hey Hey, isn''t that Hong Long?/Yes it is.../our rep is the champion?!/wow... Chifuyu: silence! You two did good, and you Xiao did it in 0.2 seconds, that is almost near the record. Alcott, you did it in 0.45 seconds, that is expected from a cadet rappresentative Cecilia: Thank... Chifuyu: However, stop posing like that, who are you aiming at with the gun barrel pointing sideways? Cecilia: B... But... this is necessary in order to estabilish my image as a... then the teacher glared at her Chifuyu: Stop it... Are we clear? Cecilia slumped down while responding with a ''yes'' Chifuyu: Next, let''s demonstrate some fundamental flying mechanics. Xiao, Alcott, take off from your position and Xiao, slow a bit to make yourself visible Xiao Qiangwei/Cecilia: Yes! then they flew in air, Xiao Qiangwei already knew the flying methods like his pockets since in his previous life he could fly at the age of 9, and shown that he was capable of being in air easily like he was breathing air. While Cecilia was a bit slow than him and some moments later both of them were 50 meters from ground. Chifuyu: Xiao, Alcott, try a nose dive and coming to a complete stop, your goal is to be at 10cm from the ground, Xiao, you are free to use your normal speed Xiao Qiangwei/Cecilia: Yes! then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared from everyone''s eyes and was found floating 10cm from the ground while making dust fly around him while Cecilia was visible from everyone and watched her nose diving and achieving similar results of Xiao Qiangwei. then they deactivated their IS and Xiao Qiangwei walked towards his friends with Cecilia following him behind with an happy smile. Ichika: Hey Qiangwei, how can you disappear like that? Xiao Qiangwei: it''s more simple than you think, you know that cars need some times to accelerate? Ichika nodded and Houki and Cecilia listened to his explanation Xiao Qiangwei: mine is only a bit faster than your IS, it''s just that my acceleration time is so short that seems almost instantaneous. Cecilia/Houki/Ichika: Wow... Houki: who built your IS? Xiao Qiangwei: A friend, I swear that he is a god in these things... ''litterally...'' Houki: then he did a really incredible job at it, it could be even considered the new 5th generation or even higher. Cecilia: right! But the most incredibkevthing is your strength! You threw me even if I was wearing an IS, how did you do it? Xiao Qiangwei: I just trained ''heh, they will never find out about my divine veins'' Ichika: Heh, it is a bit funny this situation. Xiao Qiangwei: what do you mean? Ichika: yesterday you and Cecilia-san were enemies and now you two became friends! Xiao Qiangwei: that''s... that''s true... then two girls came near him girl 1: Xiao-kun! Hey, do you have a sec? Xiao Qiangwei: what do you need? girl 2: are you doing something after lunch? Xiao Qiangwei: no, I am free Girl 1: really?! Alright! Then after your lunch come with the two of us, ok? Houki and Ichika were looking at him with a smirk while Cecilia was getting jealous. [later] he was in the classroom, someone was standing with a sign that said ''Xiao Qiangwei, class rep congratulations party'' and everyone said Everyone: and so... Congratulations on being the class rep, Xiao-kun!! Extras: Do your best in the taikousen(torunament of the school), alright?/ You were really cool in that duel, Xiao-kun/ If you have any questions, just ask! Xiao Qiangwei was happy for the party for him and thanked them Xiao Qiangwei: Thank you very much for making a party dor this one, I will promise that I will do my best! Everyone: OOOOOHHHHHH!! 10 The first sTWOs steps in a relationship after Xiao Qiangwei and the others from his class made a party for his success on being the class rep, everyone got to bed and slept, then another day came. Now he was walking in the hall towards his class when he heard rumors about a transfer student. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It seems that this transfer student is really capable¡­ I hope she will put a good fight against me one day...'' Then Cecilia, Ichika and Houki came near him Xiao Qiangwei: Hey guys. Ichika/Houki: hello Cecilia: Good morning Qiangwei-san(AN: i think that putting a japanese suffix after a chinese name is a bit stupid...) Xiao Qiangwei: Have you guys heard of the rumor of the Transfer Student? Ichika: Yes, why? It isn''t like she will be here for you. Xiao Qiangwei: In my first day of school I got a challenge from Cecilia. Ichika: Good point... Cecilia: I said I am sorry... If I knew you were the Champion then I would let you be a class rep immediately... Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok. You didn''t knew and our teacher didn''t gave me the permission to say it. So, what do you guys think about this Transfer Student? Cecilia: The only thing I know about this Transfer Student is that she''s the caded representative from China Ichika/Xiao Qiangwei: China huh.... Xiao Qiangwei: ''I wonder where Yin is...'' Then he felt someone poking his back and turned towards who touched him, he widened his eyes when he seen a petite girl with brown hair gathered to make two twintails Xiao Qiangwei: Y-Yin? Is that you? Huang Lingyin: yes, it''s me... Long time no see, Wei. Then he excitedly hugged her Xiao Qiangwei: Where the fuck were you?! I though you were in Japan! Lingyin: Well... I returned home around 3 years ago... Xiao Qiangwei: Pfff... Hahahahaha! Lingyin/Cecilia: What''s so funny? Xiao Qiangwei: It''s just... I came to Japan at that time for Mondo Grosso and I though that maybe I could find you, but knowing that you just left right before I came... Lingyin: Ehhh? Really?! Ichika: Rin, are you Rin? Xiao Qiangwei: Rin? Lingyin: that''s right, I am Fang Lingyin, the chinese cadet representative! Houki: Oh right, why are you the Chinese cadet representative when Qiangwei is even stronger? Lingyin: I am not weak! I will beat him later! But I became the Chinese Cadet Representative because they don''t know yet that Wei is a IS pilot. Ichika: Eh? really? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, when I won the Mondo Grosso, I revealed my identity to everyone in the spectator seats, but they were shocked and I esaped before the Journalists got me, so no one took any photo about me. Then Tabane Shinonono found out about my IS and me and blocked only certain parts of the video of me being there. Only the people who were personally at Mondo Grosso and now the people at the IS accademy knows about me, but soon the news will go to the entire world. [later] They were in canteen eating something and Xiao Qiangwei and Lingyin were talking happily about how hey lived away from each other, but then Cecilia came and asked a question. Cecilia: hey, Qiangwei, when did you know about each other? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, since we were in kindergarten, we bacame friends, with time we became more closer and before Yin left China, we became a couple, but she didn''t respond yet if she wants too or not Cecilia/Houki/Ichika: Really?! Cecilia was incredibly jealous about Lingyin while Houki and Ichika were smiling and impatient to see her answer about their friend''s confession, Lingyin meanwhile was blushing and then she punched Qiangwei in the shoulder, but instead, she hurted herself by punching him. Lingyin: What are you made of?! Steel? Ichika: well, he won the Mondo Grosso at the age of 13 and threw barehanded Cecilia''s IS to the ground, he should be really strong. Lingyin: Oh, about that, when did you use the first time your IS? Xiao Qiangwei: Mh? It was a month after my 10th birthday The entire group: So little?!? Xiao Qiangwei: Shut up a bit, I have sensible ears... By the way, Yin, how is doing your family? Lingyin: Eh? Yeah... they are... Xiao Qiangwei: ''What happened?'' If you don''t like to talk about them then just say it. Lingyin: Mh... Hey Wei, It''s been a while, so let''s go somewhere! Xiao Qiangwei: Maybe later, we still have classes Lingyin: Right, then see you around! then she left for her class, while Xiao Qiangwei, Ichika, Houki and Cecilia were going to their class. [later] While the teacher was doing her job, Cecilia was thinking about Lingyin Cecilia: ''Tsk... I need to work hard if I want Qiangwei be together with me, and I am probably stronger than her, if I win a fight against her maybe Qiangwei will like me more than her!'' *POW* Cecilia: OUCH!! Chifuyu slammed her book against Cecilia''s head Chifuyu: we''re in the middle of a lesson, idiots [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Houki, Cecilia and Ichika were in their IS with the exception of Xiao Qiangwei, with Houki and him helping training Ichika while Cecilia just followed Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, Houki, we will make turns while training Ichika. Houki: right! Ichika, draw your sword! Ichika: Let''s do this... Houki! after some minutes, he was defeated from Houki. Houki: Ichika, get in your feet... Qiangwei, it''s your turn. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh. then he got in front of Ichika who still had his IS deployed without any weapon Ichika: Why you aren''t using your IS? Xiao Qiangwei: Why do you think I need one to beat you? Ichika: Tsk... You will regret not fighting me seriously. then he got in his feet and excitedly rushed towards Xiao Qiangwei to slash him, he raised an hand against Ichika''s incoming sword and catched it, around his feet some cracks appeared but he seemed like nothing happened, Ichika, Cecilia and Houki were shocked from what happened. Xiao Qiangwei: Is that what you got? Get stronger, then you can fight me. Then he punched him in the stomach lowering his shield to 0 Ichika: OOF! *Roblox Death Sound* the flew some meters and got unconscious, Cecilia and Houki sweatdropped at the scene Cecilia/Houki: ''Isn''t that too much?!'' [later] Xiao Qiangwei and Lingyin were together while Cecilia was spying them from away with a jealous gaze Xiao Qiangwei: so, what did you want to talk about? Lingyin: It is about your words back then, when you called us a couple... I want to say that I- Wait a minute!! she was interrupted when Cecilia got enough and left her hiding place Cecilia: I want to challenge you for his hand! Lingyin: What?! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Eh?'' [later] Xiao Qiangwei was in the arena watching the fight between Cecilia and Lingyin, while they were fighting with their IS, they glanced a bit at Xiao Qiangwei and seen him with a bored face, so they were going all out against each other hoping that one of them would win and giving a good fight to Xiao Qiangwei. The fight finished with a tie, both of them had 0 shield energy for their IS just at their final attack. Now they were breathing heavily while Xiao Qiangwei got towards them and put them in his shoulders carrying them in a locker room Cecilia: The next battle... Will be mine! Lingyin: No... I will... Win! Xiao Qiangwei: Girls, you need to stop it, otherwise I might as well not accept either of you. they stood in silence before Lingyin got an idea and whispered at Cecilia''s ear, who nodded and then looked at Xiao Qiangwei together with a smile. Lingyin: we decided. Xiao Qiangwei: Decided what? then he picked his water bottle and drank Cecilia: We will be both your girlfriends! Xiao Qiangwei: Pfffff he sprayed all the water in his mouth after hearing Cecilia and then turned towards them Xiao Qiangwei: Wait, how did we came to this?! Lingyin: Well, we understood your emotions and then though that since you are one of the strongest people in the world... Cecilia: Why settle with just a girl? Before I was angry with you being the class rep, but you proved me that you are better than any men, and I couldn''t bear to leave you to another girl, but if I can still stay with you, then I don''t care about it! Lingyin: we were together since we were in the Kindergarten, so I know you feel bad when you are lonely, so I though: "What would want Wei?", and then the answer came. Xiao Qiangwei started laughing at them before looking at them with a smile. Xiao Qiangwei: Then Cecilia, come here a bit. she, with a curious expression came in front of Xiao Qiangwei, but she didn''t expected that he would kiss her in the lips Lingyin: Wait, why only her?! Xiao Qiangwei: well, I gave you my first kiss before you left, now you guys are equal about the relationship. *Thump* they turned towards the sound and looked at Cecilia with a red face in the ground, and then they laughed at her. 11 The Power of a 6th True Profound Cultivator [Tomorrow] after the mess for the relationships with Xiao Qiangwei of yesterday, Lingyin warned him for the fight of today in the Taikousen. Right now, he was with Cecilia, Houki and Ichika looking at the arena. Ichika: whoa... looks like a sold-out stadium. Xiao Qiangwei: What did you expect? Since I am partecipating here everyone wants to look how I fight. Houki: Narcisist... Xiao Qiangwei: You know it too it''s true, I am the Champion everyone knows about. Houki: yea... Cecilia: well, you guys good luck against Qiangwei... Ichika: don''t remind me... He''s too strong for us... Xiao Qiangwei: Little Beta male is afraid! Ichika: who did you call ''Beta Male''?! Xiao Qiangwei: It''s true, many girls here wants you as their boyfriend and you run away. I don''t know if even Houki is in love with you. Houki: Obviously not! then she turned away and blushed unnoticed from everyone Ichika: and you? Xiao Qiangwei just pointed at Cecilia who was glaring at some girls that were looking at him, who, when they found out about Cecilia with a glare that promised pain, they left hurriedly. Ichika: what the... Xiao Qiangwei: well, I need to go, bye. Xiao Qiangwei walked away from the group and got to the arena to fight against Lingyin, after some minutes he was in front of Lingyin who had her IS already deployed Lingyin: eh? are you going to fight me without IS? Xiao Qiangwei: no, since you are someone important for me, I will give you respect and use my IS. Lingyin: thank you, Wei. Then Lingyin blinked and seen Xiao Qiangwei already in his IS. Ichika: so fast! Cecilia: well, your reactions help with the deployment of your IS, but who knew that he could be so fast... That is not something that is normally possible. Houki: Yeah, either he modified his IS to respond so fast to him, or Qiangwei''s reaction speed is inhumane... in the arena, Lingyin was admiring the IS of her boyfriend with stars in her eyes, but recovered fast and talked again Lingyin: So that is Hong Long... Why you don''t have any weapon? Xiao Qiangwei: It is because i fight at my best with claws than normal weapons. Now I will limit myself, otherwise the fight will be short, but I give you 1 minute to beat me, after that, I will be serious. Lingyin: In normal circumstances I would be offended, but since it is you then it''s ok... I don''t want to take out my lunch I ate before... Xiao Qiangwei: Let''s start! then he rushed slowly at Lingyin who summoned her scimitars and paired Xiao Qiangwei''s punch, but it made her stumble back of some dozen of steps and now she started flying "58..." Then she nose dived towards Xiao Qiangwei who was waiting for her with his claws ready to block her attack, when his clawed palm and her fist made contact, he felt a bit of air that seemed to come from the IS part in Lingyin''s shoulder towards his chest, but it didn''t do nothing at him. Lingyin: ''The Dragon''s Roar didn''t nothing?! How is he so strong?!'' then she got smacked away from the back of the other hand and backflipped a bit before stabilizing herself. "50..." Now Xiao Qiangwei unfolded his energy wings and flew at her with normal speed, but when he was 5 meters away from her, something descended in the arena and interrupted them. when the dust settled, it revealed a fully armored IS. "An unidentified IS unit has appeared in the arena!!" Lingyin and the others in the spectator''s seat were surprised from this IS while Xiao Qiangwei was too calm in front of this situation, everyone would be surprised but he was adapted in front of these situations after more than 30 years of loneliness and enemies that appeared from nothing. Maya: *bzz* Qiangwei-kun, Lin-san, withdraw from the arena at once! The instructors will be arriving to handle the situation at once!! Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, I will take care of it right now. Maya: w-wait! *bzz* Xiao Qiangwei turned off the earpiece in his ear and got in the ground near Lingyin. Lingyin: Wei, please leave, I am going to hold it ba-*Boom* Before she finished talking, a beam was shot towards her, but Xiao Qiangwei''s wing took the hit protecting her Xiao Qiangwei: don''t ever say shit like that at me, we both know I am stronger than you. Now let me fight it. then he turned towards the IS unit and maliciously smirked Xiao Qiangwei: You know, there is something I am excited to try, but I was worried that it might kill someone innocent... Now that you are here, let''s try it Lingyin started getting afraid of Xiao Qiangwei, that released a really heavy killing intent. Now he positioned his wings parallel to each others with the cannons that were spourting from the wings pointed to the new IS. Xiao Qiangwei: I know that you are not alive, I can''t hear any heartbeat from you, and is impossible to stay this calm unless... you are 100% mechanic. Lingyin: eh? That thing is mechanic?! Wait, how can you check it''s heartbeat from here?! [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei: Shut up a bit, I have sensible ears¡­ [present] Lingyin: ''How sensible are those ears?!'' The IS didn''t made any move yet, then Xiao Qiangwei charged the cannons in his back with Profound Energy. Only now the IS moved and put his hand cannon forward shotting at him, then Xiao Qiangwei shotted too, when the two beams came in contact, Xiao Qiangwei''s one pierced without problem through the robot''s beam and destroyed the upper half of the IS unit without mercy. But Xiao Qiangwei''s beam didn''t stop there, it continued forward until it destroyed the arena''s shield with a really big explosion. Xiao Qiangwei: ''So that''s my full power in one attack eh? Funny, now I am cultivating hard for this when before I could destroy those divine realm kings if it wasn''t for their profound art that somehow hid them from my Divine Sense...'' when the explosion vanished, everyone''s eyes were concentrated in the lower half of the IS that was releasing sparks, then Xiao Qiangwei deactivated his IS and walked out from the arena who had his energy shield destroyed. 12 Cecilias cooking is worse than the Sky Poison Pearl [later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking with Cecilia and Lingyin at his sides with an happy expression while Xiao Qiangwei was in good mood since he found out about his power of a 6th True Profound Practitioner with an IS, and it was satisfying knowing that it doubled his profound strength in that attack, then something got in his mind. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Yin, do you remember when you said that you would get better at cooking for me? hearing his question, she became excited. Lingyin: Yes, during all those years we were separated, I got better and better at cooking, now I am 100% sure to satisfy you with my dishes! Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? Then some times make me one or two things for me, I am really impatient about it. Cecilia: I can cook too! Xiao Qiangwei: You can? Cecilia: Mh! Later I will show you my capabilities! Xiao Qiangwei smiled and nodded at her while a sudden aura of death appeared around him Xiao Qiangwei: ''What is happening? This aura... Is too dark... If it wasn''t for the Evil God''s Divine Veins I would feel suffocated from it!'' [in Xiao Qiangwei''s room/kitchen] Cecilia, Lingyin and Xiao Qiangwei were in his kitchen, waiting for Cecilia''s dishes, when she finished, she put cooked fish in the table and Lingyin put a piece of it''s meat in her mouth, just as she tasted it, her eyes became empty and released dark profound energy while she was frozen in the chair. Xiao Qiangwei noticed it and then he looked back at the dish, the without care he put a piece of it in his mouth. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It can''t be that ba... Myriad Tribulations?!'' *thump* Then he fell unconscious while ''Great Way of the Buddha'' was working in his stomach. [meanwhile] Lingyin recovered herself and seen Cecilia looking at Xiao Qiangwei with a worried expression, when she looked at Xiao Qiangwei, he seen his head in the food while gripping a bit dirty fork in his hand Lingyin: ''It took him down!'' Cecilia: Hey Lingyin, what is happening to Xiao Qiangwei? Lingyin: ''I can''t say the truth...'' Well... since he was small he had some different reactions about certain types of food, eating fish make him sleepy and since it was night and he was tired, it knocked him down. ''Please buy it...'' Cecilia: Oh, got it! So, no fish for dinner... then she wrote it in her notes Cecilia: Then what do you suggest? Lingyin: I think simple fried rice is ok for him at dinner. Cecilia wrote that too in her notes. Cecilia: Let''s put him in the bed... then both Lingyin and Cecilia supported Xiao Qiangwei''s unconscious body and started feeling it from contact Lingyin: Wow... his muscles are so rough, and he smells good too... Cecilia: Right... Now let''s leave him over his bed... Hmph! Then they released him in his bed and covered him with the blanket Cecilia/Lingyin: Goodnight Qiangwei/Wei meanwhile Chifuyu was behind the wall and heard everything, since she heard Lingyin''s hesitation while she talked about the reason Xiao Qiangwei fell unconscious(That was heard thanks to the sound he made when he fell in the dish). She found out about the biological weapon that was Cecilia''s cooking, that took down in one bite her sparring partner... Well, he was treating her more like a child in the fights... But she was more suspicious about the relationships about them. Chifuyu: ''Tsk... why I am even caring for him? He is just my student...'' [morning] Xiao Qiangwei woke up and slowly got up from his bed, he noticed that he was wearing the same clothes he was wearing yesterday evening, and the he remembered what happened before he was knocked out. Xiao Qiangwei: How the fuck is possible replicating the poison from the ''Evil Infant''s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations'' with a fish?! suddenly he heard something from his neighbor through the wall Ichika: What is possible? Xiao Qiangwei: Nothing important, just don''t ever eat Cecilia''s food. Ichika: Ok? then Xiao Qiangwei changed his clothes and left for his class [later] Maya: Alright everyone, please quiet down and take your seats! Today I''d like to introduce to everyone your new classmates. They are Transfer students Charles Dunois-kun and Laura Bodewig-san! Almost Everyone: A... A BOY?! Xiao Qiangwei: Stop shouting! Jesus, it is still morning! Then everyone looked intimidated from Xiao Qiangwei while everyone quieted down, even the new students were looking at him with a sweatdrop. After some moments the ''Boy'' talked Charles: My name is Charles Dunois, I''m from France, I''m quite inexperienced here, but I hope that we''ll all get along(Just saying it, Xiao Qiangwei can''t detect her disguise because he doesn''t know shit about the art of disguising). I heard that someone was in this class is in the same situation as I am. So I transfered to Japan¡­ Everyone started whispering between each other while ''he'' looked at Ichika and the glanced at Xiao Qiangwei for a longer time. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Heh, maybe he could use IS because the mech took her for a girl'' [in future] Xiao Qiangwei: You are a girl?! [present] Chifuyu: Tch, stop gushing all over him Maya: Uhh¡­ everyone, there''s another transfer student here¡­ Let''s be quiet so she can speak... Extras: Ah, yeah¡­/ Her hair color is similar to Qiangwei-san''s one/ And that¡­ What''s that?/ An eyepatch? Chifuyu: Laura... your greeting. then Laura put an arm over her head making a salute Laura: At once... Instructor Extras: A... A salute?!/ "Instructor"? To Chifuyu-sama...? Chifuyu: Mou, I''m no longer an instructor, It''s Chifuyu-sensei now. Laura: ma''am yes, ma''am then she turned towards the class Laura: I am Laura Bodewig *silence* Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wow, that''s depressing...'' Maya: Um... Ah... Anything else... Laura: That is all Maya: Well... in that case... Then she glanced at Ichika and walked towards him Laura: Hey... you. Then she prepared to slap him, but an hand held her wrist, she turned towards the owner of the hand and found Xiao Qiangwei coldly looking at her, she tried to get out from his grip but she was surprised from the strength of that grip. Then she took his arm with her other hand, but before she could try something at him, his hand released her wrist and formed a knife hand, which was one milimeter away from slicing her throat Xiao Qiangwei: So, what did you want to do? Laura was suffocating from the killing intent that Xiao Qiangwei was suddenly emitting, the others couldn''t feel nothing but she and Chifuyu felt like they had a loaded gun in their head and couldn''t do nothing about it. Chifuyu: Xiao Qiangwei... Please stop it... and go to your seat... The killing intent was gone like it appeared and Xiao Qiangwei moved away his hand from her throat and got to his seat while Chifuyu took deep breaths, meanwhile Laura was shacking from what happened. Chifuyu: That''s it for HR, we''ll be having a mock battle with class 2 today. Get changed and meet me at grounds 2 right away. Everyone: Y-yes!! Ichika: Hey Qiangwei, thank you for protecting me from that slap. Xiao Qiangwei: Thank my ass, you should be doing that, not me! Chifuyu: Xiao Qiangwei, I''ll leave Dunois in your care! Since you are both boys! Xiao Qiangwei: Ok Charles: You''re Xiao-kun, no? Pleased to meet you, I am... Suddenly Xiao Qiangwei grabbed Charles and took ''Him'' in a princess carry Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* Let''s talk later then he jumped from the window of the 3th floor before the girls grabbed him and landed in his feet safely Charles: Kyaaaaaa!!! Extras: GET HIM!/ COME BACK!/ STAY HERE!!! 13 Poisoning Oneself [later/changing room] Charles: Hey¡­ why is everyone chasing after us? Why are they interested in the transfer students? Xiao Qiangwei: We and Ichika are the only men who can us an IS. Charles: Ah! I see... Xiao Qiangwei: you are really light, it seemed as if you are a woman, is it because you seems like one that the IS accepted you? Charles: Eh? No! I am not a woman! Xiao Qiangwei: Well, let''s get changed. Charles: Waah?! Q-Qiangwei¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: hm? Charles: Well, um... can you turn around? Xiao Qiangwei: are you perhaps gay? Charles: No! I am just embarassed! Xiao QIangwei: well, whatever¡­ then he turned around and changed himself, when he finished he seen Charles already changed Xiao Qiangwei: *whistle* you are fast. Charles: It''s nothing¡­ Let''s go to the grounds. [later] Chifuyu: We''ll start the practice battle¡­ Also we''ll have you get some ranged combat training as well, We''ll start today with a demo from the personal IS users, Fang! Alcott! To the front Lingyin: W-what Cecilia: Why us¡­?! Chifuyu then got near and told them with a smile and a closed eye Chifuyu: Tell you what, don''t you want to show Xiao Qiangwei your good side? then both of the activated their IS Lingyin: Well, let me show you the difference in skill between us! As personal IS users! Cecilia: Just leave it to me, england''s cadet representative, Cecilia Alcott, the one and only!! Xiao Qiangwei: ''The fuck?'' Cecilia: And who shall be my foe? Is it Lin-san? Lingyin: It will not end like the last time. Chifuyu: Settle down, fools, your opponent will be¡­ *whoosh* Ichika: Hm? What''s that sound? Xiao Qiangwei stood in silence and looked up to see Maya who was uncontrollably diving towards the ground Maya: Aaahh... AAAAAAHHHH!!! EVERYONE PLEASE MOOOOOOOOOVE!!! Ichika: Yamada-sensei?! Qiangwei just moved a bit and extended an arm, catching her, some cracks spreaded below his feet but he himself seemed unharmed Maya: thank you... I was so scared... *sob* Qiangwei just left her slowly over the ground with a blank face and stood back at his initial place while everyone was looking at him strangely Charles: ''Whoa, he''s so strong! And it was even without an IS!'' Laura: ''How did he do it?! Maybe his body is modified to super human''s levels!'' Everyone else except Ichika, Houki, Cecilia and Lingyin just muttered "Wow" Chifuyu: Well, then, Yamada-sensei, We''ll conduct a mock battle between you and both Alcott and Fang as partners. now, begin! then Cecilia and Lingyin started floating together in the air while Maya was doing it in front of them Cecilia: I won''t hold back! Lingyin: I wasn''t serious earlier anyway...!!! then while the fight was going on, Charles was asked to talk about the IS Maya was using, and when ''he'' finished talking, the match ended with the victory of Maya, then Cecilia and Lingyin were quarreling about their lost Cecilia: Haa?! This is my fault?! Weren''t you, Lin-san, the one firing your impact cannon so haphazardly?! Lingyin: What?! Says the one firing her bits all over the place! you''ll run out of energy easy with that!!! Xiao Qiangwei: you need to stop it Cecilia/Lingyin: Shut up!! then both of them threw a strong punch to Xiao Qiangwei, but instead of being hurt, the girls self-injuries themselves from punching him Cecilia/Lingyin: Ouch! Chifuyu: Well... Now that you''ve seen what we instructors can do, I hope you''ve learned to respect us! Extras: Yes! Chifuyu: Alright, we''ll split up in groups of 8 for some training, the personal IS pilots will be the group leaders. Extras: Orimura-kun, Dunois-kun, Qiangwei-kun, LET''S DO OUR BEST!!! Xiao Qiangwei: STOP FUCKING SCREAMING!! *silence* [after the training] Ichika, Charles, Lingyin, Cecilia and Xiao Qiangwei were seated in the roof of the accademy waiting for Houki, that was coming right now. Houki: Ichi... ka Ichika: Houki! Over here. Houki: Wh... what''s with all this...? Ichika: Eh? something wrong? I thought it''s be a lot more fun to eat with lots of people here... Plus, Charles here can''t tell left from right around here yet. Charles: Hello... Houki: Well... That''s not... really... the case... Xiao Qiangwei: Then hurry up and come here instead of staying like a statue. Houki: *Sigh* ok... then she came near Ichika Ichika: Eh, what''s up with the two bento boxes, Houki...? Houki: This is for you... Ichika: For me?! So this is why you told me not to buy anything... Thanks a bunch, Houki! Houki: D... Don''t mention it... Xiao Qiangwei: ''I swear if he doesn''t make a move forward I am going to carry a diary about how dense as a black hole he is...'' Cecilia: Hey Qiangwei, I did some food too for you! Lingyin: Me too! Xiao Qiangwei trembled a bit when he heard that Cecilia cooked, and resolutely though that he should say the truth. Charles: Eh? What''s worng, Qiangwei? he whispered at her Xiao Qiangwei: think of the worst poison you ever heard, and put it on Cecilia''s food, you obtain that. Cecilia: Hey Qiangwei, you found something strange? What is it? Xiao Qiangwei: it''s nothing, I am going to eat now. then Xiao Qiangwei took some food from Cecilia and started eating, after tasting it, he immediately put ''Great Way of the Buddha'' at work and thanked his high adaptibility that he acquired in his past life. Xiao Qiangwei: Cecilia, I am going to be honest, start learning cooking. Cecilia: Eh? It was bad? Xiao Qiangwei: Eat one Cecilia did as he said and tasted something from her bento, some moments later, she fell to the ground unconscious while some foam got out from her mouth, everyone watched her and got away from her food Lingyin: Hey Wei, taste something mine! Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, ok. then he took some food from Lingyin and tasted it too, suddenly he opened his eyes in shock and then closed them in bliss Xiao Qiangwei: So gooooood! You should help Cecilia get better... Charles: is it really that good? Lingyin: try one! then Charles ate some of her food and was in pure bliss too 14 The True sCharless [later] after they had lunch and woke Cecilia up from the food poisoning, they left the roof for the arena, and watched the other new girl training with her IS, when she coincidentally glanced at the group, she frowned and said Laura: Oy... Ichika: ...What? Laura: So you''re also a personal IS user. No need for small talk, then - come and fight me. Ichika: ...No way. There''s no reason to. Xiao Qiangwei: wow, you actually used your head this time... The girls and Charles giggled at that comment while Ichika ignored him. Laura: Not for you, but I''ve a reason... I can''t accept that such a weak guy is the brother of my instructor, if you didn''t existed... maybe she could have won that fight at the tournament... Ichika: No, she would lose anyway... Laura: How dare you insult her! then she used her railgun and shot Ichika who got a bit of fear in his eyes, suddenly Xiao Qiangwei got in front of the hit and it exploded Cecilia/Lingyin/Charles/Houki/Ichika: QIANGWEI!! Laura: Tsk... When the dust settled, instead of finding an heavily injured body, there was surprisingly Xiao Qiangwei with an arm extended towards the railgun and from his hand, smoke appeared, implying that he blocked the hit with that hand, and had a blank face, but the most shocking thing is that he didn''t activated his IS Laura: WHAT?! Xiao Qiangwei: so that''s your limit, huh? Laura: you... who are you?! Xiao Qiangwei: This one is Xiao Qiangwei, I am one of the 3 male IS pilots known in the accademy here, Champion of Mondo Grosso, the Class rep, and nicknamed Hong Long. Laura: so the guy who defeated Instructor is you... I will make you pay for dirtying her name. then Laura left the arena enraged, while Xiao Qiangwei''s girlfriends came beside him Cecilia/Lingyin: ARE YOU OK?! Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, it was nothing Charles: Nothing?! You took a Railgun ahead! Ichika: hey, are you aure to reveal your identity to her? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, if she continues to attack you, that is still not trained enough about the IS, it is a problem. But since I directed her anger on me, who is stronger than her, then it''s ok. Ichika: You always save my ass huh? Xiao Qiangwei: Because you can''t do shit about it. Ichika: tsk... [later] *Whistles* Xiao Qiangwei was walking around the accademy while whistling something and passively cultivating the ''Great Way of the Buddha'' that was almost at the 3rd stage, that gives him 10000 kg in his arms, until he heard some angry voices, Xiao Qiangwei got curious and looked at who was talking and found Laura talking to Chifuyu. Laura: Why are you teaching at this place?! Chifuyu: I''ve told you a hundred times already, I have some personal business here... that is all. Laura: But what business could you have in this backwater place in the east?! Please, Instructor! Return with me to Germany, and assume leadership... They aren''t even using half of your abilities in that place! Almost all the students here mistake the IS for some kind of fashion trend. For you to waste your precious time on these unworthy... Chifuyu: That''s enough for you, child. Laura stopped talking and froze in the place. Chifuyu: How dare you presume what you can''t see? For a 15 year-old, you''re being needlessly arrogant. Laura: I... That is... Chifuyu: we''re done here, go back to your room. then Laura ran away from the place while Chifuyu calmed down and glanced at Xiao Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: It seems you can find me, heh. Chifuyu: We both know that you can do better... So how much did you hear? Xiao Qiangwei: not much, just since she asked about why you teach here. Chifuyu: Haaah... she is becoming an headache... Xiao Qiangwei: it will solve itself, just give her some time and reasonings and she will be ok Chifuyu: I hope so... I heard you were hit from a railgun, are you alright? Xiao Qiangwei: Jesus... I am ok, it didn''t any damage to me stop asking that question. Chifuyu: Well, I was just worrying for you. Xiao Qiangwei: sorry, it''s just that I lose my temper easily... I am going then, see ya later. Chifuyu: bye... [later] Xiao Qiangwei entered his room to rest, this morning, Charles became his new roommate and was now doing a shower Xiao Qiangwei: hey Charles, I forgot to tell you that the soap ended, I am going to enter and give one to you. then he opened the door and found a girl showering, she was Charles. Xiao Qiangwei: You are a girl?! Charles: Kyaaaa!! [some minutes later] Xiao Qiangwei: Why the fuck did you disguise as a girl? Charles: Yeah... You see... It was Dunois company''s president''s idea... That man gave me the order directly. Xiao Qiangwei: I asked ''why'' not ''who''. Charles: It was to steal some datas from yout and Ichika-san''s IS... Xiao Qiangwei: ok Charles: Ok? Xiao Qiangwei: well, it was an order from the man, that from your tone, you hated, and we became already friends, so why should I be angry about something impossible to do? Charles: Impossible? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, maybe you could do something with the IS of Ichika, but mine is completely different, it may not even be considered as an IS from the things that are inside Hong Long. Charles: what do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: don''t think about it. About that company, you should not give a fuck about it. Charles: Eh? Xiao Qiangwei: let me tell you a story, in this world there were many people, some were stronger while some weaker, with training and strengthening yourself, you could become even a god in the sense of ''omnipotent'', in this said world, there were 3 continents that were far away from each other, in one of these continents a baby was born. This kid was considered a genius because he was so strong that at the age of 10, he could take on someone who would be considered as a really strong and experienced man and win, so the people that ruled that continent wanted the kid to become one of them, even the family wanted him to accept their request, but the kid refused because he wanted freedom. But what he got was fake freedom, he was separated from the family and travelled many places, becoming stronger than anyone, until he was offered for something from a powerful entity, it was to abandon everything and start anew, and when he accepted it, for the first time, he felt an heavy weight fall from his shoulder and was truly free. So I am going to offer you something. Leave everything you have, and become what you want. Charles started tearing up and smiled Charles: YES!! I ACCEPT! *thud* then they heard the door fall and turned to see Cecilia and Lingyin over the fallen door, they seemed like they were listening to everything Cecilia: You are really a girl... Charles: W-what are you two doing here? Lingyin: well, he''s our boyfriend, we wanted to visit him but when we heard you were a girl we just eavesdropped... Charles: ''Your''? Cecilia: yes, our, before me and Lin-san fought for his hand but later we decided to share him, and it is going good, Lin-san is even teaching me to cook. Xiao Qiangwei: How is it going? Lingyin: there''s still a long way... Charles: then... can you keep my identity a secret? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, right girls? Cecilia/Lingyin: Yes! then Charles smiled Charles: thank you, guys... 15 Xiao Qiangwei against Xiao Qiangwei [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei was walking with Charles, trying to find Lingyin and Cecilia, until they heard some girls talking about 3 cadet reps fighting in arena 3, and both of them walked towards the arena to see if the girls were there, when they were there, they found Houki watching. Houki: Qiangwei? Why are you- Xiao Qiangwei looked at the arena and seen Laura dominating a battle against Lingyin and Cecilia Xiao Qiangwei: Fuck! Houki: From what I heard¡­ It seems that this was from being taunted by Laura. Xiao Qiangwei: tsk¡­ then he noticed that her attacks were penetrating the shield of the IS and hurting Lingyin and Cecilia Xiao Qiangwei: Stop! Laura: Try me! Xiao QIangwei sighed and then he started rushing at her at an alarming speed Laura: Wha- *Clang* Xiao Qiangwei''s fist seems to be blocked from something made from Laura Laura: I concede that, you are fast, but rushing head-on, without a plan is an example of an amateur Xiao Qiangwei: why should you use a plan for a mere ant Laura: tsk! You dare! then Laura made appear a beam saber generated from her the hands of her IS and tried to slash at him, but Xiao Qiangwei just threw another punch while using partially his IS for his arm Xiao Qiangwei: ''Evil Soul!'' and that punch completely crushed Laura''s AIC, shocking her while the fist was going towards her stomach Chifuyu: Stop! the fist was only some inches away from Laura''s stomach, threatening a bad moment for her, and both of them turned towards Chifuyu who was looking at them with a serious face Chifuyu: I don''t mind if you hold mock battles, but I will not tolerate you kids violating rules in doing so. Why don''t you just take this fight to the tournament? Laura: If that''s what you say, instructor Xiao Qiangwei: yes. Chifuyu: very well... then, until the intra-grade tournament, all of these types of engagements are prohibited! That''s all!! now Xiao QIangwei supported Lingyin and Cecilia while a bit shaken Laura left [later] Xiao Qiangwei encountered Ichika, who wanted to know what happened, and was enraged from his answer, now Xiao Qiangwei put Cecilia and Lingyin to a pair of beds in the infirmary. Cecilia: Thank you Qiangwei for saving us. Lingyin: Yeah, I don''t know what would happen if you were there... Still, how strong are you? to be able to break an AIC with just a fist¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Well, that will be for you to find out, but teacher called down and told me to go home already, so we all might as well get some rest¡­ then the door of the infirmary and many girls entered Extras: Qiangwei-kun! Dunois-kun! Please pair up with me!! Xiao Qiangwei/Charles: eh? then Maya entered the infirmary and told the girls Maya: Sorry girls, but you can''t pair up with Xiao Qiangwei Extras: Ehhhh? Why? Maya: first of all, we are in odd numbers in class, so we need to leave one alone, and since Xiao Qiangwei is strong even alone, it was decided that he should fight alone Xiao Qiangwei: ''Oh thanks god!'' Extras: then Charles pair up with me!/no, me!/ I have a higher tone of voice so pair with me!... Charles: Qiangwei! Help me! Xiao Qiangwei: Bye... Charles: Eh! No wait! Argh... Fils de pute! in evening Charles was free from the girls around him and punched Xiao Qiangwei from rage, but she self-injuried because Xiao Qiangwei''s body is too strong, then they got to sleep. [tomorrow] in the tournament, the first fight was between Xiao Qiangwei against Laura Bodewig and Shinonono Houki, when Houki and Laura seen that... Houki: ''We are fucked...'' Laura: ''This time I will win!'' [later] Xiao QIangwei was in the arena with his IS activated while his two enemies were at the opposite side of the arena Laura: I will make you eat everything you said about me being weak! Xiao Qiangwei: Just start... I even activated my IS to give a bit of face to you. then Laura used her 6 wire-guided daggers against Xiao Qiangwei, but he just grabbed the wires and then pulled Laura at him. she tried to stay at her place but she couldn''t resiste a strength of 4 tons and was pulled without any resistance, when she was near enough, he slashed her with his claws, breaking her AIC again and lowering her shield to 64% Laura: What the?! then he cut the wires and used them to bind Houki''s arm and pulled her against Laura, crashing at her and lowering her shield to 91% Houki: Ugh... then Xiao Qiangwei kicked away Laura and Houki, lowering their shields respectively to 38% and 59% and making them crash at the wall of the arena, then he sprinted towards Houki and punched at her shield, leaving her at 0%, defeated Xiao Qiangwei: time to leave... Houki: right, bye... Laura: ''How... how can I lose like this... is he too strong? No..."you are an ant... you are an ant..." ...I am just too weak, then... I will become strong enough...'' UWAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! her eyes started glowing and some strange thing was covering her Xiao Qiangwei: What the fuck? Chifuyu: Yamada-sensei! Announce a level-D alert at once! Maya: Understood! "Emergency alert! Srop all combat right now! Instructor squad, please report right away for Control Operations! All guests and students, please seek shelter at once." then the strange thing that covered Laura took the familiar shape of Hong Long, his IS and rushed at him at a really high speed, taking Xiao Qiangwei by surprise and slashed at him with her claws, when the attack connected, Xiao Qiangwei was sent fly away and lowering his energy to 90% Xiao Qiangwei: ''Is that the strength I had at Mondo Grosso?! then better going all out!'' now Xiao Qiangwei rushed at Laura, who put her hands in front of her to block the attack, when Xiao Qiangwei punched her arms, a crater was made below Laura''s feet, then Xiao Qiangwei sent a kick to her left but she blocked that hit too, then both of them backed away. Xiao Qiangwei: interesting... lets see how you will do with my Divine Flam- he was interrupted when the wings at her back took a familiar position and was charging something Xiao Qiangwei: ''that''s not Profound Energy... Thanks god...'' then she shot the Energy Beam at Xiao Qiangwei who used his second Evil God''s art Xiao Qiangwei: ''Sealing Cloud Locking Sun!'' and took her hit with a shield he made appear around him, the shield was undamaged at the end of the attack, and the people who were watching were surprised from the new things that Xiao Qiangwei had, then he rushed at her unlocking the gate ''Evil Soul'' and covering his claws with Golden Crow''s flames. Laura was too slow to block the hit and was slashed from his flames, thanks to his high mastery of the flames that he took from the previous life and trained in this, he burned fast only the matter that was covering Laura leaving her undamaged and naked. Laura: Uh... she looked a last time at Xiao Qiangwei and got unconscious before remembering a thing [flashback] there was a smalled Laura with different clothes walking to Chifuyu Laura: Instructor, what made you so strong? Chifuyu smiled and told her Chifuyu: It was because I was weak, a young man proved me that I need people that cares about me to win against certain walls in the life that you can''t win alone Laura: What do you mean? I don''t get it¡­ Chifuyu: you will find out at the right moment. in Laura eyes, she seemed suddenly weak, so she decided that if she would defeat that man, then she would prove to her Instructor that she(Chifuyu) was stronger than him. Chifuyu: one day, if you go to Japan, you should go and meet him. But I''ll give you one word of advice, if you have a weak heart, you might fall for him if you let your guard down. Laura: Did you fall for him too, instructor? Chifuyu blushed a bit before calming herself Chifuyu: He''s still too young for me... ''Maybe in future...'' [present] Laura understood that Chifuyu was talking about this moment, someone who can make her feel safe even if she was an enemy some moments ago, she just smiled and got unconscious against Xiao Qiangwei''s IS Xiao Qiangwei noticed her gentle smile and her eyes closed, indicating that she was knocked out, he compared her right now with that of dozen of minutes ago, and started smiling too Xiao Qiangwei: ''She changed really much from before... Still, what was that thing? It completely changed Laura''s aura around her making her even stronger than before... Thanks God I didn''t used ''Evil Soul'' at Mondo Grosso... otherwise I would be forced to use ''Burning Heart" 16 Tabanes return the day later the incident of Laura, Xiao Qiangwei was in the new Bathhouse for boys relaxing together with Ichika Ichika: This is really good¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, you''re right... after some talks between the two... Ichika: well, I will leave you here, bye Xiao Qiangwei: bye. when Ichika left, some minutes later Charles entered Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, Charles. Charles: Hello Qiangwei, can I talk to you about something? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, you can, what''s the matter? Charles: Well, first of all, I wanted to tell you my real name Xiao Qiangwei: Oh yeah, you still use ''Charles''. Charlotte: my real name is ''Charlotte'' Xiao Qiangwei: Charlotte... Charlotte... I have two things to say about this name. Charlotte: What are they? Xiao Qiangwei: The first is that the name fits you... Charlotte: Thank you. And the second? Xiao Qiangwei: Your imagination for choosing names sucks. Why calling yourself ''Charles''? There are other names like: Lucas, Jean, Mark, Louis... Charlotte blushed from embarassment and told him to stop it Xiao Qiangwei: Is there anything you want to say? Charlotte: yes, I decided ''what I want'' Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? And tell me what you want. Charlotte: I talked a bit with Lingyin and Cecilia before... Xiao Qiangwei: ''I think I already know where this is going'' Charlotte then hugged Xiao Qiangwei and told him Charlotte: I want to be your girlfriend and stay here with you! Xiao Qiangwei: You know, if you think about it, it seems as if I am a Pokemon Master... Charlotte started laughing, some moments later Xiao Qiangwei started too and they stood there for some minutes before leaving to their room [Tomorrow] Charlotte: I''m Charlotte Dunois, once more, I''m please to make your acquaintance! Almost everyone: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH?! Ichika: you are a girl?! Extras: I thought i was weird!/ It wasn''t a pretty boy, but a pretty girl!!/ ...Eh? wait a minute, didn''t the boys use the bathhouse last night¡­? Xiao Qiangwei closed his eyes and sighed Xiao Qiangwei: Holy shit¡­ we are starting again¡­ when he opened his eyes again he found Laura some inches away from his face Xiao Qiangwei: Lau- he was interrupted when Laura kissed him in his mouth, surprising him and shocking everyone Everyone: EEEEEEEHHHHHHH?!! Laura: I will make you my ''Wife''! Xiao Qiangwei''s vein bulged a bit and told her Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wife'' my ass! I am the man between us, if we should really marry then you should be the wife, not me. Laura: Eh? Really? Extras: QIANGWEI-KUN! THAT''S NOT THE PROPER RESPONSE?! Xiao Qiangwei: Can you just calm the fucking down for a moment?! Cecilia, Lingyin and Charlotte got in front of Laura and pointed at her Cecilia/Lingyin/Charlotte: You can''t steal our man! You need to join us if you want a kiss from him! Extras: Wait what?! Ichika: Xiao QIangwei, what are they talking about? Xiao Qiangwei: They though about making an harem for me... Extras: WHAT?! Xiao Qiangwei: For the love of everything that is holy and unholy, SHUT THE FUCK UP!! *Silence* then Laurawalked towards the trio of girls and asked Laura: I understand, someone so strong obviously can''t have only 1 girl. Then how can I join you? Cecilia: We need to talk about this and then see if Qiangwei wants it Xiao Qiangwei: I am ok about that. Lingyin: eh?! Are you sure?! She wanted to hurt you before. Laura: about that¡­ then she bowed down and told them Laura: I am sorry about everything that happened since I came here, I was angry about certain things and I thank Xiao Qiangwei for showing me the right way and saving me from that incident. Please forgive me. Cecilia, Lingyin and Charlotte then grouped together and started talking for some minutes before they separated and told her Cecilia/Lingyin/Charlotte: We accept your apology! Xiao Qiangwei: Then everything is solved, oh yeah, Laura, what was that thing in the tournament? Laura: It is the Valkyrie Trace System, it is a program developed to increase the performance of the IS by mimicking the former winner of the Mondo Grosso, you. It even increases the strength, speed, reflexes and defence of the IS unit to a similar level of the Champion. Xiao Qiangwei: wait what?! Laura: Don''t worry, due to various reasons including pilot safety, this system is strictly banned by the IS Treaty. At this everyone that was friend of Xiao Qiangwei sighed in relief Laura: But it is incredible how you coud win the fight against the VT System, could you sometimes train me? Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry but I can''t. Laura: Can I at least know the reason? Xiao QIangwei: Well, everything I can do is something that can be done only from me, the problem isn''t that I don''t want, but because you will never satisfy certain conditions. Laura: Thank you for answering the question Chifuyu then entered and told everyone Chifuyu: Everyone at their seat! [3 months later] Everyone of the IS accademy was at the beach for certain events, Xiao Qiangwei finally entered the 3rd stage of the ''Great Way of the Buddha'', surprisingly increasing his physical prowess to someone of the 7th Spirit Profound Realm instead of the 6th or 5th like he expected before. Charlotte: Qiangwei! Xiao Qiangwei: oh, hey Charlotte! Charlotte: Shall we go and do some stretching together? Xiao Qiangwei: Sure, that swimsuit looks good on you Charlotte: Really? I am happy to hear that from you... Xiao Qiangwei: by the way, wasn''t Laura with you? then Charlotte pointed towards a little wooden house Charlotte: Laura''s hiding over there, she says her swimsuit''s embarassing, and she''s all holed up back there. Even though I told her that you will like it a million times... then she turned towards the hiding place Charlotte: Are you okay with staying there and letting me and the others play with Qiangwei without you? Then Laura gulped and left from the place Laura: Uuu... Laugh if you must... then Xiao Qiangwei just walked towards her and hugged her like a doll Xiao Qiangwei: How can you be so cute?! Laura: eh?! C-cute?! Charlotte laughed at the scene while Laura was bushing until he let her go Lingyin: WEEEEEIIII!!!! Xiao Qiangwei just crouched down letting Lingyin jump over him and crash with her head on the sand while the lower portion of the body was in air Lingyin: Ouch... Wei, you are pure evil... Xiao Qiangwei: a man really evil would just take advantage of your situation. Lingyin found out about how she was positioned and got up while blushing Lingyin: Pervert... Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, but you like this pervert, hehe. So, what got you so excited? Lingyin: Oh yeah, let''s have a match in the water, this time I will win! Charlotte: what are they talking about? Cecilia: When they were small, I heard that Lin-san always played with him, but she never won any game, so she is always finding something new so she could win. Charlotte/Laura: Oh... [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei won again the match in water leaving a depressed Lingyin and a laughing group, but Ichika and Houki were gone from them, and they couldn''t find them, so they got to sleep and now they are doing another lesson Chifuyu: Very well, let us begin the prectical exam as sheduled. Mount your country''s IS units. Other than that... Maya: Oh... Orimura-sensei!!! There''s something that''s falling in from the sky!! Xiao Qiangwei looked up and his eye twitched. Xiao Qiangwei: Not this shit again... Lingyin: Hey, something happened? Xiao Qiangwei pointed up and said Xiao Qiangwei: ''That'' happened. then Lingyin, Cecilia, Charlotte and Laura looked up and found a falling metal carrot, when it crashed, someone left from it Tabane: Oh, sorry to keep y''all waiting! Hello Hello! Everyone''s idol, Shinonono Tabane has arrived!! Everyone: Shinonono Tabane?! Xiao Qiangwei: Oh fuck me... then Tabane looked around and found Xiao Qiangwei Tabane: Hey Xiao Xiao, can I see you IS?! Xiao Qiangwei: NO!! Tabane''s bunny eyes lowered a bit before she found Chifuyu and threw herself at her Tabane: Chi-chan!! but Chifuyu gripped her face before she hugged her Tabane: Ah, the merciless iron claw, just as I remember it. Chifuyu: We''re in a lesson¡­ Why did you come? then Tabane freed herself from Chifuyu''s grip Tabane: Isn''t it obvious? I wanted to see my super cute lil'' sis, You''ve sure grown up a lot since I last saw you, Houki-chan! And my, you boobies are¡­ Houki: please stop that. then she turned fast towards Xiao Qiangwei and jumped towards him Tabane: I enchanted my body so I finally can get yo- OOF!! *Roblox Death Sound* Xiao Qiangwei just punched in her stomach, but unlike his normal punch, now that he got to the 3rd stage of ''Great Way of the Buddha'', Tabane crashed in some houses before falling some miles away towards the sea Extras: wow... then she slowly walked back to the class while being covered in seaweeds and completely wet. Tabane: It seems... you became stronger... 17 Silver Gospel after Tabane greeted Ichika too, Houki talked to her with a nervous tone Houki: um... about ''that thing''... Tabane: Ah, of course! It''s all ready to go. Behold, the great sky! then something else fell from the sky, it had a geometrical form and was a bit bigger than Tabane herself Tabane: Tabane''s newest creation, an ultimate IS unit that surpasses the specs of all present IS in every way... Xiao Qiangwei: oh? then the thing opened itself revealing a new IS Tabane: this, my dear Houki-chan, is your personal unit, the ''Aka tsubaki''!! Houki: Aka... Tsubaki... Ichika: Houki''s... personal unit...?! Tabane: right then, let''s start with the fitting! then Tabane started programming Houki''s new IS Tabane: Fufu, Houki-chan, your swords skills have improved again, haven''t they? I can tell from the shift in your muscle index. Houki: Thanks¡­ Extras: She''s getting that IS from Tabane-san?/ That''s so unfair./ Her piloting skills are a ''B'' at best. But since she''s family, she gets a free personal unit¡­/ That''s just low¡­ Tabane: Oh? Someone''s yanking about non-sense over here. Don''t you kids study history? The world''s been an unfair place since the dawn of time Xiao Qiangwei: ''You don''t have idea...'' the people who talked against Houki now got nervous. Chifuyu: ...How unsightly of you, as cadets! Return to your positions! Extras: Y-yes...!! [later] Tabane: Okay! The Aka tsubaki should take care of the rest. Oh, yeah, since Xiao Xiao don''t want to show me his IS, can you show me your Byakushiki, Ikkun? The great Tabane''s sooo interested in it! Ichika: Ah, okay! Cecilia: Is she really so bad at you Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: the first time we met, she let me to touch her boobs if I gave her my IS. Everyone: Eh? Xiao Qiangwei: What? Everyone: nothing... then Cecilia came near her Cecilia: Um... Hello! I''m honoured to meet so renowned a person! If you don''t mind, would you take a look at my IS? Tabane: ...Huh? Who the hell are you? I don''t know any blondes. Xiao Qiangwei then looked at her Tabane: ...Well, ''Female'' Blonde... anyway, I was having such a reunion with Chi-chan, Ikkun and Xiao Xiao, and you just had to ruin it, huh? Get out of my face. Cecilia: eek... Xiao Qiangwei: Jeez, don''t tell me that ''period'' came... Tabane: A guy should not talk about those things to a woman Xiao Qiangwei: Define ''Woman'' Tabane then pointed at her boobs Tabane: A woman has these Xiao Qiangwei: heh, those are as big as your addiction to my IS then Tabane pouted and glared at him Tabane: you are evil¡­ then she turned towards Houki Tabane: Oh! Looks like it''s done, so why don''t we take it on a test flight? Houki: Okay. Let''s go¡­ Aka tsubaki! then she flew fast towards the sky Ichika: So fast!!! Tabane: How''s that? Greater than what you expected, right? It may not have the same impossible acceleration of Hong Long, but her maximum speed is Greater. Houki!! Next, try using those katanas. To your right is ''Amazuki'', and to your left, ''Karaware'', I''m searching you their classified data right now. The Amazuki is an excellent one-on-one weapon, while the Karaware excels in multiple engagement, here, try with these. then she made appear a big missile launcher at her right and shot towards her sister Ichika: Houki!! Houki: I can do it¡­ then she cut all the missiles launched at her, meanwhile¡­ Maya: Orimura-sensei! It''s an emergency!! Orimura: What? then they started to whisper to each other and then Chifuyu turned towards the class Chifuyu: Attention, everyone! From this pont on, the faculty will be conduction a top-secret mission! All test operations today are cancelled!! Each group will put their IS units back, and return to their respective rooms at the inn! If you do not have a proper clearance, going outside of your room is strictly forbidden! Everyone: Y-YES...!! Chifuyu: Everyone with personal units, come over here! That means you, Shinonono! she smiled and responded with a ''Yes'' [later] Chifuyu: Alright, here''s your briefing. Two hours ago, during a test flight, an IS under military custody went out of control. It''s called the ''Silvario Gospel''(it was wroten like this), A 3rd gen. unit developed jointly by the United States and Israel. According to information downloaded from the satellities, the unit passed through an area approximately 2km outside our airspace. That was 50 minutes ago... The higher-ups at the academy have directed us to engag¨¦ the unit. The staff will use training units and seal the airspace. You guys are to stop the Gospel, especially you, Xiao Qiangwei, you have the more probability to fight against him alone, but I want to be 100% sure to take it down. Xiao Qiangwei: Yes! Cecilia: Orimura-sensei, I wish to see the date and the specs of the target IS. Chifuyu: Alright¡­ However, it''s classified at the highest level of secrecy by both countries'' military branches. Any leaks and you''ll be put under trial by the court of inquiry. At worst, they''ll put you under 2 years of direct observation. Everyone: Ma''am yes, ma''am! [later] Laura: Shall we scout it out? Chifuyu: ... Scouting is impossible... the target is moving at supersonic speeds. We only have one chance to approach it. Maya: Just one... in which case... we need an attack that can take the unit out in one fell swoop. everyone then looked at Xiao Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: I can do it, but I can''t move fast enough to hit him without serious damage if the speed at which it goes is really at supersonic level. Chifuyu: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: I am sorry to say it, but I can''t reveal much about it, just that it increases my power of some folds. It''s an option of Hong Long, it is called ''Seven Gates'', and each gate power me up, I can currently open only the second for a limited period, I can extend it to the third gate, but if I use it for more than 3 seconds, then I die. Everyone: What?! *Thump* Houki: Ouch! everyone turned towards Houki, and seen Tabane in an air conduit over Houki Tabane: What?! How does it work?! Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* It needs mental and physical training for it, even if I am stronger than anyone, I can use only 2 gates in total without dying. The first gate, is called ''Evil Soul'', it gives me a multiplier of 2-3 I used that against Laura in the VT system; The second gate, is called ''Burning Heart'', it gives me a multiplier of 3-4, and I can use it for 4 minutes before I get tired; The third gate, which I was talking about, is called ''Purgatory'', it gives me a multiplier of 4-5, and like I said before, i can currently use it for 3 seconds if I am completely healthy before dying. There are still other gates, but aren''t important right now, except that each one gives me a ''special ability'', like the shield I used against Laura. Everyone: wow... Chifuyu: Ok then, our plan is to slowing down for a moment the ''Silverio Gospel'', so Xiao Qiangwei can strike it down and neutralize the target. The mission starts in 30 minutes. Take this time to prepare yourselves for the mission Then everyone stood there while looking at Xiao Qiangwei Ichika: Good Luck Qiangwei. Houki: If you feel something wrong in the battle we will help you¡­ then the ''harem'' of Xiao Qiangwei hugged him Xiao Qiangwei: Whoa whoa! all his girls: You can do this Qiangwei!/Wei!/Husband! then Xiao Qiangwei smiled and nodded [later] the group was at the requested place, waiting for orders. Chifuyu: Guys, do you copy Everyone: Yes! Chifuyu: Our mission today is "One approach, one down"... focus on finishing it in the shortest time possible! Your target is the ''Silvario Gospel''! From here on, It''ll be known as ''Gospel''. Everyone: Ma''am yes, ma''am! Chifuyu: Very well¡­ mission start! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Evil Soul''! then Xiao Qiangwei released a bit of pressure, as if it was telling the others he used the first ''gate'' and all of them flew towards the ''Gospel'' 18 The End of Infinite Stratos [minutes later] the girls and Ichika were going fast while Xiao Qiangwei was behind them, right now they found the ''Gospel'' going at high speed Xiao Qiangwei: Chifuyu, we found it! Chifuyu: ok, start the operation, the girls and Ichika are going to slow it down with any possible method and at that moment Xiao Qiangwei will neutralize it. Everyone: Yes! then the group except Xiao Qiangwei intercepted the IS, they used any genre of attack against it, but they couldn''t do anything to it, after some time the ''Gospel'' flew over them released a rain of beam energy. Xiao Qiangwei: Stay glued to each other! everyone listened to him ang got near to each other with Xiao Qiangwei that got over them and used ''Burning Heart'' and ''Sealing Cloud Locking Sun'', protecting them, when the smoke made from the attack vanished, there was an unharmed Xiao Qiangwei and the group safely behind him. Gospel: Recognizing threat... Hong Long... Threat level: Extremely Dangerous... Engaging with 2nd Shift... then the ''Gospel'' transformed itself, growing wings made of pure energy Laura: 2nd Shift?! everyone else except Xiao Qiangwei: What?! Chifuyu: Retreat! Xiao Qiangwei: Fuck it! I am going against it! ''That''s what every real cultivator do, going against everything!'' then he expanded his wings and used ''Burning Heart'' again, giving him a boost of 4 folds, and flew against the IS Gospel: Recalculating Threat... Threat level: Impossible... Retreat... Xiao Qiangwei: Where the fuck are you going?! when the ''Gospel'' turned its back toward Xiao Qiangwei, he was only some dozens of meters, and the ''Gospel'' started unfolding his wings to fly away Xiao Qiangwei: ''Shit! I can''t do this... then let''s raise it of a notch! Purgatory!'' then the area around him slowed really much and became black and white, his speed increased again and was getting more near Xiao Qiangwei: ''48 meters'' *tock*(clock sfx, for a better effect for the short fight) The ''Gospel'' started accelerating from his starting position, but Xiao Qiangwei was getting really near Xiao Qiangwei: ''9 meters'' *tock* Xiao Qiangwei raised his arm, but just from that action his body was full of pain, but he resisted and brought down his claw at the IS with as much force he could use without killing the pilot, the claw crushed completely its shield and cut on the IS''s left wings, destabilizing it down, and the air pressure the claw made, brought the IS in the sea incredibly fast. Before the third second came, he deactivated ''Purgatory'', and got unconscious from it''s use and Hong Long turned on it''s stand by form. The others who seen it flew fast towards him, especially his girls, who yelled. Cecilia/Lingyin/Charlotte/Laura: Qiangwei!/Wei!/Husband! and Lingyin catched him, then Charlotte checked his breathing and sighed in reliex since he was still alive, Laura made a thumb up at the other two that were getting near, Ichika and Houki seen that and nodded, then both of them got in the sea to recuperate the unconscious pilot, which was succesfully done, and left the place. [tomorrow] The group was back at the base, leaving the rogue pilot and Xiao Qiangwei in the hospital for their recovery. Meanwhile. Chifuyu: I told you guys to come back, and you were still there, even if the mission is completed, you still disobeyed my order, what is your reason? Ichika: I couldn''t just leave after doing so much. Houki: me too... Chifuyu: and you girls? Cecilia: i can''t leave Xiao Qiangwei alone. Lingyin/Charlotte/Laura: Yes! Chifuyu: *sigh* well, you guys did it, now let''s hope that Qiangwei will recovery fast Lingyin: oh? We are atarting using his name, heh? Ouch! she was hit in the head from Chifuyu who was slightly blushing Chifuyu: Shut up! Now go yo your room and rest! Ichika giggled a bit from her behavior but left her alone while being followed from Houki while the other 4 were going towards the hospital to check their man. Chifuyu: Haaah... I wonder what would happen without you, Qiangwei... ?: I wonder that too sometimes... Chifuyu jumped a bit from the sudden voice and found a smiling Xiao Qiangwei behind her Chifuyu: you are already recovered? Xiao Qiangwei: well, I am the strongest man existing, I should have some more perks than others, and I can get up really fast Chifuyu: you used it, didn''t you? Xiao Qiangwei: what are you talking about? Chifuyu got angry and grabbed his shirt Chifuyu: I am talking about ''Purgatory''! You could die! Xiao Qiangwei was ready to tell her something but she started crying, so Xiao Qiangwei stood in silence and hugged her while caressing her head. Meanwhile Ichika was hidden behind a wall watching everything with a relieving smile, he though that a man with many girls like Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t enough for his sister Chifuyu, so he stood hidden there to hear what she would say, but he didn''t expected that Xiao Qiangwei was already out from the hospital while the girls were going there, Ichika just whispered. Ichika: Take care of my sister. and left, obviously Chifuyu couldn''t her anything since she was crying in Xiai Qiangwei''s shirt, but he could hear it and turned towards the wall where Ichika was hidden in, and smiled. [later] Xiao Qiangwei: So, how did it go the mission? Chifuyu: it was succesfull, the rogue pilot is on the hospital and will be given back to the USA after she recovered, the IS was already given back to them and every data about you was erased. Xiao Qiangwei: ok. Cecilia/Lingyin/Charlotte/Laura: QIANGWEI!/WEI!/HUSBAND! then they jumped at him and hugged him tightly Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, I am still here girls, you don''t need to hug my life out from me. Harem: We were worried! Xiao Qiangwei: yeah yeah, now I am going to present you someone. Harem: Who? Xiao Qiangwei pointed at Chifuyu Xiao Qiangwei: Chifuyu Orimura, the fifth member of the ''harem'' Everyone: EEHHHH?! Chifuyu was blushing and got a bit angry Chifuyu: W-What are you saying?! Xiao Qiangwei: I know you want it, who did you take me for? Ichika? I already knew about it for some time. Chifuyu: W-what?! Laura: instructor joined us! Cecilia: I didnlt expected this... Lingyin: Finally Xiao Qiangwei did it! Charlotte: Mh! Chifuyu then started laughing and accepted his offer. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was going in a dark alley and stopped in the mid of it Xiao Qiangwei: Come out. then someone who heavily resembled Chifuyu came out, and Xiao Qiangwei narrowed his eyes Xiao Qiangwei: who are you? Madoka Orimura: I am Madoka Orimura, you can call me M, when did you find me? Xiao Qiangwei: since the girls came back from the hospital. M: then it''s impossible... Xiao Qiangwei: what is impossible? M: it doesn''t matter anymore... ''well, the mission to steal IS from the academy is already fucked up...'' Xiao Qiangwei: so... the sister of Ichika? M: yes, even if I don''t like it, we are still family... Well, I wanted just to give congratulations on conquesting Chifuyu. Xiao Qiangwei: That''s all? M: yes, I hope we will never meet again, goodbye. Xiao Qiangwei: bye... then she disappeared in the darkness, leaving a whistling Xiao Qiangwei walking at the academy. 19 Epilogue: Goodbye... World... After the group returned home, they started again school normally, without problems, Xiao Qiangwei was even asked about becoming the President of the Student Council but he refused saying "Too much things to do". Things happened, like some events for who becomes Ichika''s boyfriend because Xiao Qiangwei already had an Harem, obviously he hid the information about Chifuyu. [Last day of the Academy] The group was at the roof eating something before Xiao Qiangwei talked a bit to his Harem about something and all of them nodded, then they left from there, before Xiao Qiangwei left too, he turned towards Ichika and Houki and told them. Xiao Qiangwei: Ichika, Houki loves you! The two were shocked about this information because Ichika was incredibly dense and Houki couldn''t believe that he really told Ichika about her crush, then Xiao Qiangwei jumped from the roof and landing safely to the ground, leaving the new couple alone. [at the Phantom Task''s HQ] After Madoka told to the leader about Xiao Qiangwei, they abandoned the mission to steal the Hong Long and Byakushiki, not wanting to risk their death or capture, since Xiao Qiangwei proved himself to be better than anyone there during the fight against the ''Gospel''. [a month later] Thanks to Xiao Qiangwei''s title of Champion of the Mondo Grosso that he won again, and the help he gave to the Japan against the ''Gospel'' he requested about multiple marriage, the others at the government were stupified about this news, they though he would ask money, but asking only for the immunity to a law was good for them. So they accepted it. [5 months later] after Xiao Qiangwei secretely prepared his marriage with the five girls, he told about his girlfriends to his parents and presented them, before the parents were a bit shocked since they didn''t hear nothing from him for some time about the academy and later they were proud for having so many girls that love him. Then they and the girls were surprised from the new news Xiao Qiangwei gave them, about a legal permission for polygamy, and they were happy about it. [1 week later] The marriage happened, every friends of the girls, Laura''s squad included, Xiao Qiangwei''s parents, Maya, Ichika and Houki were there to spectate with a smile the marriage of Xiao Qiangwei Someone: Throughout this ceremony, Huang Lingyin, Cecilia Alcott, Charlotte Dunois, Laura Bodewig, Orimura Chifuyu and Xiao Qiangwei have vowed, in our presence, to be loyal and loving towards each others. They have formalized the existence of the bond between them with words spoken and with the giving and receiving of rings. Therefore, it is my pleasure to now pronounce them husband and wives. You may now kiss your brides! At this moment all the girls hugged Xiao Qiangwei with a smile and kissing each others while everyone applauded for it, this was the happiest moment of Xiao Qiangwei. In his past life, he already lost his parents at 10 years, and left his continent at the age of 15, travelling around the Primal Chaos Dimension like a nomad, gaining legacies after legacies, going against enemies that are 1 great realm higher than him, hunting and completing the Evil God''s Divine Veins. He was always alone after the death of his parents, the only company he had was the one of his hunters and various sects that wanted to use him, even when he became the strongest, he didn''t felt much, so he limited himself while fighting in the War of the Immortals because he though it was useless going all-out, but it costed him his life. then Xiao Qiangwei turned towards Ichika with a smile and told him Xiao Qiangwei: The next will be you, Black Hole-san Ichika: stop calling me that! I know I was dense about Houki but at least don''t call me like that when I am with her. Some months ago, Ichika married with Houki, it was easier for them because he didn''t have to marry an entire harem like Xiao Qiangwei [this night] Xiao Qiangwei bought an house before marrying, and now he and his new wives were going inside for sleeping together. He used Profound Energy to make a barrier around his house to block any sounds and started a ''fight'' in the bed against the five girls, and Xiao Qiangwei was still going on when Laura was almost unconscious from it and told him to continue even after being knocked out, meanwhile the other four unconscious. The first one was Lingyin, the first girl he asked to be together with, and she received the Virgin Dragon Seed coming from his bloodline, but he sealed his other bloodlines to avoid disasters when they would get kids [9 months later] Xiao Qiangwei just became father of 6 kids, a pair of twins from Chifuyu, one girl and one boy, then 1 girl from Lingyin, which had the Dragon God''s Bloodline, giving her a stronger body, then two boys from Cecilia and Charlotte, and a girl from Laura, 3 boys and 3 girls in total, Xiao Qiangwei was really happy about this [20 years later] Xiao Qiangwei already stopped cultivating because there was no need for it, his wives and kids, who grew adults already, were suspicious about the his looks, and he said almost all the truth, and told them to not tell it to even the future grandkids he would have and at his kid''s husbands and wives. Everyone accepted it and Xiao Qiangwei told them about how his body was different from others, and that the ''Seven Gates'' came from the mutation in his body instead of the IS he still had. Everyone was shocked from what he said when he told them about his strength of 10 tons, his high regeneration, his longevity, and his body hardness, obviously he left out about his past life and bloodlines like the Golden Crow and Ice Phoenix. All of his family didn''t cared about his ''mutations'' and lived together [40 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the funeral of his wives, but he was a bit happy since they lived a life full of joys and happiness with him, they even told him to be happy and don''t cry, but he still cried a lot, together with his kids and grandkids, then he told to his kids that he would leave and see them some times [25 years later] this time it was the turn of his kids, Xiao QIangwei was more than 100 years, but he seemed still a man of 40 years, he still cried about them, but was happy for the same reason of his wives [100 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was never heard of anymore, some times people would see Hong Long but they though it was Xiao Qiangwei''s descendant, he traveled the world, thanks to the Dragon God''s Legacy and Great Way of the Buddha, his longevity was at 300 years, he still had 90 years to live, but he didn''t care. [90 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was now a really old man, he was in his Hong Long flying around, and though about where he should leave the world, and decided he would secretely put a graveyard near his wives'' ones and sleep there, when he finished, he used ''Purgatory'' to end his life while still having Hong Long in his hand and a smile in his face.

God: Hello again, Xiao Qiangwei, how did you liked the new life? Xiao Qiangwei: I thank you for giving it to me, I really appreciated this act, to give me a new family and people that cares about me, I even had kids and grandkids. God: I am really happy to hear it, but... are you ready for the ''thing''? Xiao Qiangwei calmed down and smiled a bit Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I know it, I wished it would not happen but these are rules, do it. God: I feel sorry about it too, even if I am God here I still have emotions, and it is sad that I will take out the Memory of this world from your head, but don''t worry, I will conserve them for you, so everytime you come here again, you will remember them. Xiao Qiangwei gratefully bowed towards God and told him while crying Xiao QIangwei: Thank you! God then put an hand to Xiao Qiangwei''s head and made a grabbing motion, then a white thing came out from his head, and when it came out, it formed itself in a crystal ball. Xiao Qiangwei then got up and observed the ball God: This, is your memory of this world. then he made appear a shelter and put the Crystal balls over it, safely, so that they will never fall God: And every time you come here, you just need to touch them for temporarily remember your past lives. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh¡­ God: then, let''s start, first of all I am taking back the IS. then in his palm appeared Hong Long in stand by. God: now, do you want some rest or let''s start now? Xiao Qiangwei: I want to be for a bit with my old memories¡­ God: ok¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei touched the ball, and relived his past memory in some dozen of minutes, and then turned with some tears towards God Xiao Qiangwei: Done, now let''s start this. God: ok, this world will be still a Lower Realm, but unlike the previous, there is more ''World Energy'' in the air, so you can cultivate to higher realms than before, and I will tell you, it will be really useful doing so, just so you know it, in this world you will not get any special weapon from me. Close your eyes Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then he did as God said, some moments later, he felt really small and floating somewhere. Xiao Qiangwei tried to remember his past life but he only found blank scenes, nothing could be found(the memory was took out, not sealed inside him). Then he checked his body and found again his bloodlines and Divine Veins, with the Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins. [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei got a summary about the world where he is now, After a certain age all the people over a certain age will die from a virus, and Vampires and things called Horsemen of John will go around the world while the little percentual of humans remaining will try to take back the world. Xiao Qiangwei was laughing and getting angry to God for this joke he made, so he was in a world where losing his parents were assured, and if he didn''t get strong he would be treated as a livestock, and the humans will fight back ''super human blood suckers'', he didn''t believed that they could do it. Then he felt some movements inside and found out that he leaving out her mother''s womb. [outside] Xiao Qiangwei got outside the womb annd after some operations, he was given to his mother, who smiled proudly at him, Xiao Qiangwei smiled about the sensation of a family, even if it will not last for many years. Then the mother gave him to his new father, who smiled too and played with his nose while Xiao Qiangwei was faking things while trying to grab his new father''s hand Father: Here''s the nose little champion! Xiao Qiangwei: Wahh! Waah! Mother: c''mon dear, give him back the nose, hehe... Father: Yes honey. Here''s your little nose! then Xiao Qiangwei grabbed his father''s hand and faked a giggle. Mother: So, dear, how will we name him Father: Oh, I know! I will name our son, Qiangwei, Xiao Qiangwei! Xiao Qiangwei: Waah!! ''Is this a fucking joke? The same name of my previous life?!'' Mother: It seems he likes it then Xiao Qiangwei''s parents laughed at their son. 22 The Start of the Apocalypse [6 months later] Xiao Qiangwei and his family were transfering in Japan, because his parents were a bit fans of anime, he found out that like God said, the air was a bit richer of energy compared to the previous, even if he didn''t knew how much it was, and his Dragon God''s Marrow started producing blood and cultivated his World-Defying Heaven''s Manual [6 months later] Xiao Qiangwei just acquired enough balance to walk in his feet and said his first words, his parents were happy for this, right now he is at 5th Elementary Profound Realm, a really big step compared to the previous 10th Elementary Profound Realm in the previous world at 3 years. His Dragon''s bloodline is at 10%, and his bones started getting just a bit stronger than a normal 1 year-old infant. [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the 6th Nascent Profound Realm, his body has 30% of Dragon''s bloodline, he secretly started practicing with his Golden Crow''s flames and Ice Phoenix''s Ice, he wanted to practice his ''Three Steps for the Throne''(Personal Profound Art) which was divided in: 1) Colossal Fist of the King (Requirements: True Profound Realm + Great Way of the Buddha + 100% Dragon Bloodline) 2) Evil God''s Domain (Requirements: Emperor Profound Realm + Completed Evil God''s Divine Veins) 3) World Eating Flames (Requirements: Tyrant Profound Realm + Golden Crow Bloodline + Ice Phoenix Bloodline) But he couldn''t because he didn''t satisfy any requirements, but he planified to practice the ''First Step'' around the age of 4-5 years, where he would enter the True Profound Realm, sometimes he would go at the park with his parents for fun [1 year later] He got to the Kindergarten, but no one would get near him for fear of his different looks, but he didn''t care, just because he wasn''t liked from some 4 years old kids it didn''t mean he would stay alone, and the majority of those would be treated as livestock from vampires. His realm was at the 10th Nascent Profound Realm, nearing the True Profound Realm, his bloodline got at 40%, making his body really strong for a kid of his age [2 months later] He got at the True Profound Realm, and could still go for a long way, he expected that with the energy around, he would achieve a maximum of 5th Tyrant Profound Realm, but he still didn''t knew, since this is a ''Supernatural'' Realm, there may be certain places where more dense energy is present. His bloodline was at 42%, and started practicing the Golden Record of the Burning World and the Ice Phoenix''s Investiture Canon. [10 months later] Xiao Qiangwei had 5 years now, and he still didn''t have any friends, the parents were worried for him, but he just answered that he needs friends that don''t care for how he looks but for who he is, at this the parents smiled and stopped worrying about him. He got at the 5th True Profound Realm and his bloodline got at 50%, his body is as strong as iron right now, but it was still not enough to survive outside during the Apocalypse. [1 year later] Xiao Qiangwei finished the Kindergarten and stood at home, no one still knew about his abnormal conditions, he got at the 10th True Profound Realm and his body had 60% of Dragon''s Bloodline, he was being stronger every year that came. [2 years later] He started school 1 year ago, and many kids became his friend for his hair color. While he was turning home he felt a bit of killing intent, but it was not against him, but at a child with black hair that was running away from a man, while a woman near him started burning everything, the child was imprisoned inside, and no one was near there to save him. So he stealthly entered the burning home and saved the unconscious kid who was crying and left him outside the house. But he missed a man that was watching him, that man gave a powerful aura and was watching everything from away, he was surprised when the kid got out from the flames unscathed, so he though that it was either a vampire like he was before, or something else. Then that man woke up the kid and accompanied him to the nearest orphanage. Xiao Qiangwei was at the 8th Spirit Profound Realm and his body was at the 80% of Dragon Bloodline, that finally gave him a little boost to his cultivation. [1 Year later] Xiao Qiangwei started comprehending the Great Way of the Buddha, since this world will be at risk of extintion soon, he decided to take the risk and use the Profound Art, surprisingly it didn''t damage him, probably it was because he was at a certain cultivation realm, and gained 1500 kg of strength. His parents were happy for how the life was going in Tokyo, and Xiao Qiangwei was getting sad about it because from the summary he had, soon the Apocalypse would start, so he started practicing the ''Three Steps to the Throne'' [2 months later] It started, when he woke up, he seen his parent''s lifeless body and a big pool of blood, outside there was chaos, and the most ironic thing was that today was Christmas, Xiao Qiangwei started crying, even if he knew everything, it was still sad that his parents died from something like a virus. Right now he got outside, it was still evening and started gathering food from the supermarkets, especially the ones that last longer, even if he was at a certain age, the virus would not harm him thanks to his bloodline and Profound Art. When he gathered the water and the food and put them in a big backpack, he left for the park, and sat on a bench while watching the creepy show, that gave him some goosebumbs, but still watched to see how Tokyo was before the destruction. Later he seen some grey coated men entering the houses and gathering kids in their vehicles, transporting them somewhere, Xiao Qiangwei though that they were vampires, and were just ''gathering livestock'', it didn''t made him angry. He was lonely for many years and traveled as a cultivator in his past life, so he didn''t care for some killings and kidnappings, he was watching this until a really big group of vampires that were following a pink haired preteen, it was a bit strange to watch it. Then one of the vampires noticed him and walked towards him to kidnap him, but suddenly his head exploded from Xiao Qiangwei''s fist Xiao Qiangwei: ''Scum...'' other vampires noticed it and started grouping around him, but in a speed unnoticeable to all of them, he took them out, but they were still living, so he used his flames to burn the bodies until not even ashes remained. The pink haired vampire noticed it and curiously glanced at the kid who just took around 10 vampires in less than 1 second 23 Offer from the Queen Xiao Qiangwei then just walked until he found someone''s gaze and turned to see a pink haired loli some meters from him while the big army way going around the city looting everything. Xiao Qiangwei just innocently asked Xiao Qiangwei: Hello, who are you? Krul Tepes: you can call me Krul, who are you? To kill many vampires like that, you can''t be human, and stop with that acting innocent. Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* I am Xiao Qiangwei. How will this be done? You leave me alone or you try to take me too? Krul just rushed at him while raising a foot and roundhouse kicking him, Xiao Qiangwei blocked the hit, but it was still pretty hard Xiao Qiangwei: ''This power¡­ Even if she is holding back, I think her full power is¡­ Early Emperor Profound Realm!'' Tsk! Krul: Oh? I am impressed, a kid like you can take on an attack from a Progenitor without any cracked bone, now tell me, are you a Seraph? Xiao Qiangwei: The fuck is a Seraph? ''Colossal Fist of the King'' then he used the ''First Step'' against her chest, she blocked the hit but stumbled some steps behind, while she was a bit shocked from the strength of the kid in front of her, then she started smiling Krul: Interesting! I recognize you, Xiao Qiangwei, how many years old are you? Xiao Qiangwei: I am 9 years old, now you want to kill me? Krul: No, I want to give you an offer. Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Talk then Krul: If you come with me, I will not make you a vampire, I will not treat you as livestock, and you will have some privileges, but you will serve me. What do you think? You will even have good food. Xiao Qiangwei: This¡­ is an interesting offer¡­ Give me a week and a place where we could meet, I will think about it. Krul: Sorry but I don''t have much time, decide now, I could just easily kill you right now or use you as a personal blood bag, I wonder how your blood will taste then she licked her lips at the though, creeping Xiao Qiangwei a bit, but then started thinking Xiao Qiangwei: ''What should I do¡­ If I try to escape, either she will kill me or capture me, or I will need to stay with humans for their resources, but they will limit my movements or try to use me for their military projects...'' If that is it, what is different from staying with humans? Krul: You think you can escape so easily? Xiao Qiangwei: I am litterally the most mysterious thing you ever seen in your probably long life, you don''t know shit about me. Krul: Touch¨¨, about your question, humans are more cruel than us, we at least treat them as livestock because we feed off of them, but they use themselves for their curiosity, If you want to know more then come with me. Xiao Qiangwei: It doesn''t help me that much but... *sigh* I will accept the offer then Krul gave him an hand which he took it and shook Krul: Fantastic! My full name is Krul Tepes, and I am the 3rd progenitor. Xiao Qiangwei: This one is Xiao Qiangwei, from China, and right now your soldier. Krul: You will be more than a soldier, with your strength, you can even be my right hand. Xiao Qiangwei: Then, what is the first task? Krul: We will need to take two seraphs, I can''t give you more details due to your loyalty right now. Xiao Qiangwei: Got it, then at least can I know what the fuck is a Seraph? Krul: It will be for another time, let''s go now. [later] Xiao Qiangwei: So I just need to take down the Orphanage? Krul: Yes, do it fast. Xiao Qiangwei: Aye sir... then he got inside and smirked, he didn''t have those many opportunities to use his abilities, even if he has a little possibility to win against Krul, he needed more informations and a new place, and right now she told him to take down an entire building, when he seen it was completely empty and no one was seeing him, he started using his Golden Crow''s flames. [outside] Krul: I wonder how much time will he need fo- *BOOM* she was interrupted when a big explosion appeared in the orphanage, destroying it completely, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was getting out while whistling, and he appeared to be unharmed Krul: What... what did you do? Xiao Qiangwei: nothing much, some wires there, homemade gunpounder, a bit of water, oils and here. Krul: I think I need a long time to adapt to this... Xiao Qiangwei: ''you still haven''t see the tip of the iceberg...'' then she turned her back and told him Krul: Let''s go, we finished everything that needs to be done. Xiao Qiangwei: ok then he just followed her to his new house, Sanguinem. [some days later] Xiao Qiangwei whistled for the view of the underground capital, it was really magnificent, but the sight of the kids walking around and tagged like cows ruined a bit everything. Krul: How is it? Xiao Qiangwei: 8/10, it would be better if there weren''t kids with bar codes in their arms as if they were a product, but for the building, I am going to admit that it is really impressive. Krul: For a 9 years old, your brain is really developed Xiao Qiangwei: So says the little Vampire Queen. Krul: touch¨¨ again... [later] they arrived at the palace, and a tall man with silver hair that reaches his hips appeared at the entrance Krul: Hello Ferid... Ferid: Hello Krul-san, I hope that you enjoyed the walk, and it seems that you even took someone interesting, who is the kid? Krul: Heh, I would not joke about him, he is getting as strong as you. Ferid: oh? Is he a Seraph? Krul: no, he is 100% human, I was surprised too... Xiao Qiangwei: I am Xiao Qiangwei, 9 years old, and I come from China, Krul gave me an offer to work for her and I accepted. Ferid was surprised and asked Krul Ferid: An offer? Krul: We will talk later, arrange a room for him and come at the hall with me. Ferid: Yes m''lady. Come here kiddo. Xiao Qiangwei: Kiddo my ass... Ferid: A kid like you shouldn''t say bad words Xiao Qiangwei: A fucking pedophile should talk to little girls, not boys. Krul started laughing while Ferid got a frown, then he pointed his nails to Xiao Qiangwei''s neck but he didn''t expected a fist near his jewels Ferid: oh? Now I get it why you got an offer. Seems you are fast and from the pressure given from your fist you are strong too. Xiao Qiangwei: Stop analyzing my body, you pedophile! Ferid''s forehead''s veins comically bulged a bit, showing that he is angry while behind him Krul was laughing at him Ferid: ''I think these will be long years from now on...'' 24 Walking around Sanguinem [a week later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking around Sanguinem, to know the streets better, when he encountered a some coated vampires, they ignored each others and bumped to each others, the vampires expected the kid do fall and hurting him, but instead it was like they stumbled on an iron block and fell, they turned to the kid and seen that he doesn''t wear the Livestock''s clothes, so they walked fast to him Vampire 1: Kid, where is your uniform? Xiao Qiangwei: oh? Sorry, it was a week so I don''t think that the information traveled much, I am not like the other kids here, I work for the 3rd Progenitor. the vampires raised an eyebrow and then got angrier, so one of them tried to grab Xiao Qiangwei''s neck Vampire 2: don''t joke around, now you will come with us. Xiao Qiangwei: well, Krul told me it could happen, so I am going to show you that I told the truth. Vampire 1: Tepes-sam-!! he suddenly found himself in the ground with an hand stucked in his throat, that was bleeding, meanwhile the other vampire just found out that Xiao Qiangwei was beside him with his companion on the ground and a bleeding throat Xiao Qiangwei: is this a proof that I work for her now? the vampire didn''t wanted to accept that a mere human could beat him, but it seems that this kid was different, so he hesitantly nodded. Now Xiao Qiangwei took out the hand from his throat, that started to slowly regenerate, and the vampires left him alone, while Xiao Qiangwei started walking again around with some kids that seen the mess outside and watched him with admiration. [later] Xiao Qiangwei turned inside the palace and found Ferid smiling at him Ferid: welcome back, little Qiangwei, so, did you enjoy the walk? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, like usually someone still got me for a Livestock. Ferid: Are you sure you don''t want to be a vampire? You can live a longer life and not be confused for those little insects. Xiao Qiangwei: No, I want to stay human, but you better not underestimate them, there is a reason if they could fly without wings, release enough power to destroy an entire city, and do many other things, it was because we are weak, we adapted our brains to do more complicate operations, just because they are now almost extincted, it doesn''t mean that they lost. Since the stone age, we were less than 1/10 of what we were a month ago, but we, with many centuries, could evolve and going against things that should not happen, like destroying meteorites, cities, creating many different poisons, and it started everything from the fire. Ferid was speechless before laughing a bit Ferid: you know, sometimes I just forget that you are a 9 years-old kid. Xiao Qiangwei: Vampires have alzheimer? Ferid now stopped smiling and sighed from exasperation. Ferid: And I can''t even kill you because Krul needs you... Xiao Qiangwei: mh, if you need me for something you can find me in my room. [later] Xiao Qiangwei started cultivating again the World-Defying Heaven Manual, right now he was just at the 1st Earth Profound Realm while his physical prowess arrived at the 9th Sky Profound Realm. Meanwhile Krul was passing from there and was curious about what he was doing, so she silently opened the door and found Xiao Qiangwei in a lotus pose while breathing calmly, she didn''t know what he was doing because she never seen this type of thing in all of her 1000 years, so she just sat there in front of him, who was concentrated in cultivating and didn''t noticed her, and observed him. Krul: ''I hope you can help me in future...'' [some hours later] Xiao Qiangwei finished his daily cultivation, so he opened his eyes to find his boss seated in the ground and looking at him, he was surprised and almost hit her but his reflexes stopped him, then he took a deep breath and asked Xiao Qiangwei: Hello Krul, what do you need me for? Krul: nothing, I was just curious, what were you doing? Xiao Qiangwei: I can''t say nothing. Krul got a frown and asked him Krul: Why? Xiao Qiangwei: for the same reason you don''t want to tell me anything, I don''t trust you. Krul though for a while and then she got up and walked out from the room, but she stopped a bit Krul: you know, I will never trust you to tell about me if you are going to behave like this. Xiao Qiangwei: sorry, those are orders from my old master. ''I hope she then will stop asking questions...'' Krul: a master? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, he made me so strong, and the method to be stronger, I can only say this, for the rest you need my trust. Krul: mh, then... I remember you asked about Seraphs, right? Xiao Qiangwei: yes. right now she started smiling Krul: then I can tell you something about them... There are seven Seraphs of the End, each one has different abilities and all of them are inside an human, I still don''t know about vampires, but I can say that they are even stronger than me. Xiao Qiangwei: oh? ''Then, from her tone and words she used, they should be either at the late stages of the Emperor Profound Realm or at the Early Tyrant Profound Realm... Tsk... this will be hard.'' Krul: well, good night Xiao. Xiao Qiangwei: bye Krul. then he got yo his bed while Krul left the room and closed it, before walking away at her throne. [meanwhile] ?: Hey Mika, did you hear that? ??: About what? ?: There is a rumor that a child like us just beated some vampires! I told you that they can be defeated! ??: Calm down Yuu, we can''t do nothing about it anyway. ?: Well, if we could take him to our side then we could leave from here. ??: ok. Good night Yuu ?: Good night Mika... 25 Horsemen of the Apocalypse [10 months later] Xiao Qiangwei hit the ten years, while his body''s bloodline hit the 100% of the Dragon God''s Bloodline, strengthening his body of a really big margin, he was at the 5th Earth Profound Realm, while his Physical Prowess was at the 2th Emperor Profound Realm, if he goes all out, then he could kill Krul Tepes, but in this year they started becoming friends. He checked the World Energy around him and confirmed that it would last up precisely to 5th Tyrant Profound Realm, while his lifespan increased up to 400 years right now. He usually walked around Sanguinem, and when the kids were afraid to give their blood, sometimes he would be there calming them down, meanwhile he built a reputation with vampires and humans. The vampires started to fear him and would turn to another road when they saw him, while the humans viewed him a bit as a father figure, due to him being caring to them when it was possible, sometimes he would give them good food while other times he would heal them when the vampires would hit them for standing in the way. After some time he was informed about what happened outside, he found out from Ferid that there were appearing human settlements, and beasts called Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or Horsemen of John, roamed around the world, he asked Krul if he could try to fight one, and she accepted it while she secretly followed him to see his strength. When Xiao Qiangwei came near one Horseman, instead of attacking it at sight, he seemed to ignore him, Xiao QIangwei raised an eyebrow while Krul was shocked, it was known that the Horsemen of John attacked only the humans, and she was sure that Xiao Qiangwei was 100% human, so either he was secretly a vampire and both he and she didn''t know, or he had some other secrets. Krul obviously though about the second possibility, she still didn''t know much about him, only that he has something that strengthens him with meditation, then she was interrupted when the horseman flew away with the lower portion of the body present, while the rest of it''s body was scattered around Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei was angry before that he was ignored so he punched with much strength the Horseman, instantly killing him, Krul was shocked seeing his display of power, it seems that he became strong enough to going against her and win. She didn''t know how much time he had this power, but she was glad that he decided to remain with her even if he knew about the now human settlements. Before turning to Sanguinem, he entered a store and found a little toy, he though about giving some to the kids, everyone in Sanguinem knew how he helped the kids when they were hurt or were afraid, Many vampires though that he should not lower to Livestock''s level while Ferid and Krul though that it was a good thing for him to care about them, while the humans were of course happy about it. Right now, he was roaming around the palace, bored, so he went to the balcony of his room and looked around the place from there, he was wearing new clothes gave to him from Ferid. He was wearing a white kimono with black insides, there was a black band around his waist, and was wearing a white coat with the hood down and some decorations around his shoulder, in his hands there were black gloves without the thumb, index and pinky fingers, and was wearing a pair of geta in his feet.(Think about the book cover, just without the sword and sheat) Xiao Qiangwei: Haah... I wonder if something happens... Ferid: Oh? Is there a problem? Ferid came from the door of his room and asked him with a smile Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, there is nothing interesting... Hey, how do you entertain yourself? Ferid: I just go around the city to see how it is going, do you want to follow me? Xiao Qiangwei: Maybe another time. So, why are you in my room? Ferid: Nothing, just saying hello, even I get a bit bored sometimes. I was thinking if you would like one of our weapons, you can even take one of our first-class weapons Xiao Qiangwei: They are too weak for me, they can''t even pierce my skin, and my preference is the Claws as a weapon, not swords. Ferid: I still don''t get how can a 10 years-old boy be able to be as strong as a third progenitor... You should tell me your secrets. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s useless, your body will never satisfy a certain condition, because you and everyone in this world miss something that only I possess. Ferid: And what would it be? Xiao Qiangwei: You don''t need to know, you will never have one, and even if you take mine, it would be useless. Well, I am going outside, see ya later Ferid. Ferid: Bye Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei was walking around the streets of the city while he heard some voices Extras: It''s Xiao!/Hey guys, look, it''s him!/Xiao, can we play again?/I will kill all the Vampires! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wait what?'' then he disappeared in front of everyone and looked from the roof a familiar boy, it was the same black haired kid he found at the house that was on fire 2 years ago and was walking together with a blonde boy of his same age while telling him many different methods of killing vampires. Xiao Qiangwei giggled at the friends while being still hidden from everyone''s eyes. After a while he returned at his room and started doing his daily routine. 26 Crowleys visi [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei grew a bit taller in these years, and his realm right now was at the 2th Sky Profound Realm, while his Combat Prowess was at the 3th Tyrant Profound Realm, his Great way of the Buddha was at the second stage, giving him around 4000 kg in arm strength, and could even start flying even if no one knew it. In these years, he, Krul and Ferid became friends, sometimes a guy named Crowley would come in, and the first meeting between him and Xiao Qiangwei was... ''not normal''...

They seemed to have already noticed Xiao Qiangwei and the man was in front of him with a smile while the blonde woman was observing him and the other girl was watching him with a bit of lust for blood. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello, I am Xiao Qiangwei, which progenitor you should be? Crowley: I am Crowley Eusford, the 13th progenitor, why are you here? Xiao Qiangwei was looking him with a look that seemed to say ''Are you dumb?'' that Crowley noticed and the told them Xiao Qiangwei: I live here, otherwise I would be down with the other kids, no? Crowley: Oh, then why are you here? Xiao Qiangwei: It isn''t important, are you here for Ferid? Crowley: yes, but I still wonder why an human is here Chess: Hey Crowley-sama, can I drink his blood? Crowley: I don''t think that you co- Xiao Qiangwei: You can try Everyone looked at him strangely, but then he continued to talk Xiao Qiangwei: But the moment you take a step forward, I will take your right arm, and for every step you make, I will take your limbs. Chess: Oh? Then you are mi- she made a step forward, and was pushed away at a wall while Xiao Qiangwei had her right arm and his right palm extended forward Xiao Qiangwei: I advised you. Crowley: Oh? You are really strong, let''s see how much strong you can be, but first, can you give back that arm to Chess? Xiao Qiangwei: ok. then he threw the arm at Chess, who was still at unconscious at the wall. After, he and Crowley walked some steps away from each other, and both of them looked at each other''s eye. Xiao Qiangwei: Why you don''t take the sword? Crowley: Well, I think it is not needed. Xiao Qiangwei: You said it, then don''t come for a rematch with the sword. Let''s start. now Crowley rushed at Xiao Qiangwei, preparing a punch, but Xiao Qiangwei just raised a palm, and catched it effortlessly, shocking Crowley, then he backed away and prepared his sword. But before he could take it out from his sheat, Xiao Qiangwei came and put an hand over it''s hilt, not letting him taking it out, then he hit his chest with a palm, making him fly at the wall near Chess Crowley: It... Fucking hurts... I surrend... Meanwhile Horn was watching everything with shock, first of all a kid of probably 11 or 12 years was there and defeated Chess before she could make a second step, then he beaten his Master in one single hit, proving to everyone that he should not messed with. Then Ferid came in and seen Crowley stucked in a wall while his ribs were regenerating, Chess without an arm and unconscious near Crowley, and Horn standing there like a statue watching everything, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was whistling something while walking towards Crowley. When he was in front of him, he took one of Crowley''s arms and took him outside the wall while he was going towards Chess to reattach her arm, right now Crowley found Ferid smiling behind a door and walked towards him while being a bit in pain Crowley: Who is that kid? Ferid: just someone Krul took from Tokyo, he is working for her, and it seems you even challenged him. Crowley: That kid is a monster... Is he a vampire? Ferid: No, 100% human, and he isn''t a seraph. Crowley: Damn... you guys found a really big fish... Then Xiao Qiangwei grabbed Chess and gave her to Horn after she recovered from her stupor. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it was nice to meet you guys, bye. Ferid: Bye Qiangwei! Crowley just smiled at him and raised an hand. [back] Right now he and Krul were playing chess, and he just lost against her Krul: Checkmate. You are bad at it, you want to play something else? Xiao Qiangwei: No, let''s continue... 27 Too Late... [1 year later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking around the town while giving some toys to random children, like always he didn''t encountered any vampire that was on his same way. Right now he was 13 years old and was at the 5th Sky Profound Realm, while his Combat Prowess increased to 4th Tyrant Profound Realm. Sometimes Crowley and his two companions came to visit both Ferid and him, a month ago, when they came again, Chess still tried to bite his neck but unlike the other times where he would fling her against the wall repeatedly, he let her bite his neck, everyone was shocked, but not because he let her voluntarily, but because Chess'' teeth broke at the contact with Xiao Qiangwei''s skin, and then everyone laughed while Chess teared a bit. Right now he was coming back at the palace when he found Ferid walking around with some vampires with him, he was a bit surprised because he would usually walk alone and hidden somewhere, so he walked towards him and found him near Mika and Yuu, some friends he made some time ago. Mika would be usually with Ferid these days, and Xiao Qiangwei and Mika would talk together about the things that hapoened to Sanguinem, and sometimes Xiao Qiangwei would talk about how was living with vampires, meanwhile Mika would talk about Yuu, his obsession with killing vampires and admiration about him being able to do it. Ferid: Oh Mika-kun. Will you come to my house tonight as well? Mika: I would love to! Ferid: Good boy. Xiao Qiangwei: Ferid? I was just joking when I called you a pedophile, you know? Ferid''s lips twitched while a vein comically bulged out from his forehead, meanwhile the vampires beside him left from fear, then he calmed himself. Ferid: Hello Qiangwei, how is it going today? Mika: Oh, hey Xiao! Yuu: Xiao?! Is he really that Xiao? Xiao Qiangwei: no, I am the taxi driver, do you see any other human with different clothes here? So you should be Yuu? Mika told me things about you Yuu: yes! It''s me! And I hope that he said good things about me. Xiao Qiangwei: do you really think he did? Yuu: ...no? Xiao Qiangwei: here''s your answer. Yuu: Damn you Mika! then he hit him in the head, while Ferid started a conversation with Xiao Qiangwei Ferid: so, how was today? Xiao Qiangwei: the morning was pretty interesting... but the rest of the day was ok Ferid: what happened? Xiao Qiangwei: nothing important... [flashback] This morning Krul asked Xiao Qiangwei to help her clean her ears, since Xiao Qiangwei didn''t have nothing to do, he accepted, after some minutes Krul''s head was on Xiao Qiangwei''s lap while he was cleaning her pointed ears with the cotton swab, after some dozen of second Xiao Qiangwei could hear a soft voice from Krul Krul: Ahh... Xiao Qiangwei and Krul got red at the same time and Xiao Qiangwei glanced at her with a strange expression Xiao Qiangwei: did you just moan? Krul: ignore it and finish cleaning... Xiao Qiangwei didn''t questioned it and cleaned her ears while trying to comprehend what happened. [present, night] Xiao Qiangwei was in his bed cultivating the ''Great Way of the Buddha'' when he suddenly heard the doors opening and found an enraged Krul looking at him, then before he could talk, she ordered him Krul: Go to the east entrance and stop that idiot of Ferid and don''t make anyone escape! Xiao Qiangwei registered her words and got serious, then he ran as fast as he could, in the span of 2 minutes he was already at the entrance, but what he did see wasn''t what he hoped for, first of all there was Ferid faking his death, while Mika was really dying, and was without an arm and bleeding everywhere. Xiao Qiangwei: son of a vampire bitch... making my job even harder... then he got to Mika and tried to stop his bleeding by wrapping a cloth around his arm and making pressure to the wound in his chest, but he already lost too much blood Xiao Qiangwei: that fucker... then he got up and walked towards Ferid, who just got up and tried to calm Xiao Qiangwei down while smiling and sweating Ferid: calm down Qian- *pow* *crack* Ferid was kicked away towards the wall, which cracked everywhere near Ferid, meanwhile he spit blood from the just broken spine. Xiao Qiangwei: tsk... you are lucky i was being asked to stop you, otherwise you would have already lost your head. Right now Krul came but got a frown after seeing the situation Krul: Qiangwei, report Xiao Qiangwei: This bastard got 100% nazi against the kids and killed almost all of them. Krul: ''almost''? Xiao Qiangwei: there should be a black haired kid between them but it seems he escaped, the kid which escaped was a seraph Krul: tsk... then she turned towards Ferid that was in the wall Krul: so you let a seraph in the verge of death and let the other one leave from here... Qiangwei, freeze his arm for 2 years. some time ago, while he was practicing, he was found out about his Ice Phoenix''s ice, but fortunately his flames were still a secret, Krul told him she would take this information as a secret if he showed her how it works, while he was telling Krul what he could do with his ice, she was amazed from it, obviously he left out the part of the Profound Art, because he didn''t want to reveal all of his cards to her. He extended his arm and let some ice cold air going towards Ferid''s left arm, completely freezing it, during the process, Ferid was in pain. Meanwhile Krul turned towards Mika, and told him Krul: Hey human, do you wish to live? I can give you life. Eternal life. Mika: ...I''m... not interested... Krul: I see, so life holds no interest for you, huh? Well, I''m not giving you an option. You will drink my blood. then she used her nails to cut her index and put the hand without the finger in Mika''s mouth while closing his nose, forcing him to drink it.(in the manga it counted as a first kiss for me, so here it will not be since she will be the lover of mc in future) Krul: And you won''t be an human any longer. when she took out her hand from his mouth, he started screaming in despair. 28 Seclusion for 2 years [a week later] Right now Xiao Qiangwei was at the side of Krul, who was sitting in a throne, and both them are looking at Mika, who was in the ground with a despaired face, Krul told Xiao Qiangwei to take a kid from the city and give him to Mika dor him to drink the kid''s blood, so he left for a minute and returned with an unconscious random kid. Krul: so, Mich(Michael), suck this human''s blood. When you do, your cells will stop moving. And you''ll transform into a complete vampire. With powers that transcend humans and an ageless body. While she said this Xiao Qiangwei glanced at her with a strange face that she noticed Krul: ...''almost'' every humans and an ageless body... and become one of us! Mika: I... I won''t. I don''t want to be a vampire Xiao Qiangwei: C''mon Mika, don''t be such a little shit, you are already halfway to become one, it isn''t that bad. Well, you can only drink blood and use a protective gear to get out, but for everything else it is really good. Krul: then why didn''t you become a vampire? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I can''t live forever, the boost it would give me is useless, and you can''t even do it, my blood is too strong to become a vampire''s one. Krul: really? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, now what do we do with the little champion there? Krul: *sigh* Hey Mich, I will give you my blood then. now she cut her wrist and some blood came out, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei watched everything with wide eyes. Xiao Qiangwei: ''She really want him as a dog then, the poor kid is going to be addicted...'' When Mika seen the blood, he couldn''t resist anymore and bit in Krul''s wrist, drinking her blood, while Xiao Qiangwei caressed his head with sadness for the destiny of his half-vampire friend and decided that he should be stronger to avoid something like this. [1 year later] Since that day, Xiao Qiangwei decided to use more time to cultivate every day, extending it from 5 hours of cultivation in total up to 8 hours to cultivate his profound veins, while 4 hours for the ''Great Way of the Buddha'', while the remaining 12 hours are either for going to bathroom, feeding himself or sleeping. Right now he was at 10th Sky Profound Realm, his ''Great Way of the Buddha'' was nearing the third stage, while his combat prowess arrived at the 5th Tyrant Profound Realm. Mika was worried about him being more time in his bed and talked a bit with Krul about it Mika: why is Xiao secluded in his room? It is since a year that I didn''t see him outside Krul: it may be that he took that matter of the day of your escape in his heart, even if he is working for me, it doesn''t mean he is like us, he cares for you all, but even I don''t know much about his past... Mika: thank you... I am going to see if something changed... then he left the throne to check Xiao Qiangwei, who was still in his room cultivating, meanwhile Krul sighed and looked at the entrance of the Throne room Krul: Qiangwei... Come back to us... [1 year later] Xiao Qiangwei just got outside the room with a smile in his face, he seemed to release a more powerful pressure, his realm was at the 3th Emperor Profound Realm, his ''Great Way of the Buddha'' got at the third stage, giving him and arm strength of 10 tons, and his Combat Prowess is at 2th Sovereign Profound Realm, he left from the room because there wasn''t anymore World Energy for him to absorb, because he used it all. He was walking around the palace and then he got at his destination, he knocked at the big doors and waited. Inside the room was the Throne room of Krul, while Mika was reporting to her, when they heard the doors being knocked they assumed it was Ferid, so Krul with a disinterested expression said Krul: You can enter. Then the doors opened, but instead of finding Ferid, there was Xiao Qiangwei with a little smile, when the two occupants of the room seen him, Mika started smiling showing a bit his canines and stood up. Mika: Xiao! Finally you got out from the room! while Krul trembled a bit and got up from her throne, then she slowly walked towards Xiao Qiangwei, and when she got in front of him, they looked at each other, until Krul slapped him, Xiao Qiangwei let her do it even if her hand hurted her a bit since Xiao Qiangwei''s body was even stronger than 2 years ago. When Xiao Qiangwei looked at her face, he was surprised, she was gritting her teeth, and was releasing tears from her eyes, while her body was trembling a bit. Krul: You idiot! Why would you remain for so much time secluded!? At least come visit us some times! then Xiao Qiangwei slowly enveloped her in an hug, shocking her Xiao Qiangwei: shhhh... It doesn''t matter anymore, because right now I am here, and I will stay with you. right now Krul returned the hug and started crying in his clothes while Xiao Qiangwei was patting her head, meanwhile Mika was watching everything with a soft smile. [later] Ferid came at the Throne room for his still frozen arm, when he was inside, he was surprised to find Xiao Qiangwei at Krul''s side, while Mika wasn''t there, probably walking outside. Ferid: Oh, welcome back Qiangwei, I assume that you finally relaxed... Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Krul, why didn''t you tell me that I should freeze his entire body instead of an arm? Krul: well, he is still a progenitor, even with his annoying behavior... Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* So, how many poor a d innocent kids did you take home? Ferid: Can you please stop with this thing about pedophilia? Xiao Qiangwei: Who talked about pedophilia? I was just asking a question. Ferid''s forehead developed another bulged vein from being angry for falling for that trick, but he calmed down another time and smiled. Ferid: I really missed you... Since the two years passed, can you unfreeze my arm? Xiao Qiangwei: ok. then he snapped his fingers and the ice melted, leaving the arm hanging down. Ferid: thanks. then he left the room, leaving Krul and Xiao Qiangwei alone, she looked at him, he was more taller than before, just some inches higher than her, his hair became a bit longer and retained their platinum blonde color, while his amber eyes were sharp and strong, she then realized she was looking at him for a long time and turned her head away 29 Leaving Sanguinem for Job [3 days later] Krul was a bit bored so she and Mika, who came a bit later, were listening to some stories of Xiao Qiangwei, that unknowingly of them, those stories were about some of the memorable parts of Xiao Qiangwei''s past life, Xiao Qiangwei: then, the young man, killed all the 256 stone dragon soldiers, he was tired, but the Primordial Azure Dragon appeared and congratulated with him, saying that he had another wave to fight against. The young man heard it and lifted his metal claws, preparing to fight against the last wave, but instead of 512 soldiers, there was a 3 meters tall stone dragon soldier, he was more armored than the previous soldiers, and possessed a sword as big as the man himself... [later] Xiao Qiangwei: then the man finished the Trial Ground of the Dragon, after saving innocents from an attack from the illusion of a man he hated the most, and letting him run away. The dragon praised him for being the first to complete the trial, and after giving him the 3 drops of his blood he promised, he gave a mission to the young man, to find the dragon''s daugher, and free her from the first heavenly profound treasure, the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. Well then, I will continue another time. Mika: wow, the story is really good, where did you even get it from? Xiao Qiangwei: Internet, when it was still present. Krul: It is incredible... Later can you tell me what happens? Xiao Qiangwei: yes. [1 week later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the throne room for an order of Krul, it rarely happened that she gave him orders, usually it would be for emergencies or it was to advise him to not enter the throne room because she would speak with some other progenitors alone. Xiao Qiangwei: what do you wish? Krul: I want you to go outside and search informations about the seraph that escaped years ago, you will have a year before returning here, while every month I want a report of your situation, use your ice birds to give messages. Xiao Qiangwei: Yes. Anything else? Krul: No. Now Xiao Qiangwei stood up and smiled at her Xiao Qiangwei: Then, goodbye Krul, let''s see each other in 1 year. Krul returned the smile and said Krul: bye Qiangwei, and good luck. then Xiao Qiangwei left the room and found Mika walking near. Xiao Qiangwei: hey Mika. Mika: oh, hey Xiao. So, what happened? Xiao Qiangwei: I need to gather informations about someone, so I will be out for a year. Mika: oh, then good luck pal. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks, say bye for me to Ferid. Mika: mh. Now Xiao Qiangwei walked away towards the exit to leave Sanguinem [later] Xiao was outside the vampire city, and looked around before walking towards where should be Tokyo. While he was on the way, he looked around and found many destroyed buildings and streets, meanwhile, some Horsemen of John were lurking in the streets, and no one attacked him. Xiao Qiangwei: I think I should bring a map about the entire Japan before the apocalypse... Then he continued to walk and found a subway, where he searched and found a map about the tracks of the underground trains, then he found Tokyo, so he got in the rails and walked towards it. [1 day later] in the way he found some Horsemen of John that blocked his way with their big bodies, so he used his Intent around his index and middle finger to cut them and walked between the remains of the Horsemen of John towards Tokyo. Right now he was at Harajuku and was annoyed from the darkness in the way, so he found another station and got out from the rails, then he walked to the stairs, but before he could find the exit, he found a big group of humans that were wearing the same clothes of ''Livestock'', Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow but walked towards the nearest one. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey man, do you know where is the exit? man: W-Who are you? Xiao Qiangwei: just someone passing from here, now could I know where is the exit? man: Y-You can''t G-go outside! The vampires will k-kill you! A-and if you can escape, t-there will be the m-monsters outside! Xiao Qiangwei: Can you just tell me where the fuck is the exit?! then he heard many steps towards his direction. vampire: Well, well, well... Look who is it... What is doing a mere human here? I don''t remember you being part of the Livestock here, and I don''t see the clothes you should wear. Did the demon army send you here? Xiao Qiangwei turned around and found 15 vampires grouped together Xiao Qiangwei: Can you tell me the exit? I need to do some work. Vampire: Tsk... Don''t talk to us like that! then 1 vampire rushed at Xiao Qiangwei, who just snapped his fingers and the vampire was covered in golden flames, reducing him to ashes, the humans and the remaining 14 vampires were surprised about what happened Xiao Qiangwei: Now, can you give me the direction for the exit? I swear... every vampires except the progenitors are like you... Right now 5 more vampires were rushing at him and took their weapons out from their sheat, but Xiao Qiangwei and a vampire disappeared while the other 4 were cut to little pieces before they became ashes. The remaining vampires and the humans heard a crash and were shocked to find Xiao Qiangwei holding in the neck of the fifth vampire while the latter was at the crater of a wall that was just created from Xiao Qiangwei''s strength. Xiao Qiangwei: Can you tell me where is the exit now? the vampire was gritting his teeth and then shakily pointed towards a direction Xiao Qiangwei seen that and then he turned towards the vampire Xiao Qiangwei: thanks... Incinerate. then the vampire was in fires and screamed in agony for some seconds before ashes fell from Xiao Qiangwei''s hand, then he turned towards the remaining 9 Xiao Qiangwei: Will you let me pass or should I clean the place? If I wished so I could just destroy the entire subway. The vampires moved and made way for Xiao Qiangwei, who walked between them and left the station, when he was not seen anymore, the vampires sighed in relief and turned towards their places. Meanwhile, outside Xiao Qiangwei was looking around for the walls of the capital of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, to start his researchs about Yuichiro Hyakuya, the seraph who escaped 2 years ago. 30 Evil Gods Domain [1 day later] Xiao Qiangwei finally found the walls of Shibuya and hid himself behind some buildings, when he left the previous world, he gained some knowledge about how to use his powers, like using the golden flames to fly in air, electromagnetism, and most important of all... Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Light the evil god''s domain is a self created profound skill that permits him to use a domain of an element he wishes, like fire, water, space, time, etc... But the stronger is the domain, the more power it consumes, for example he could use the time domain for half second, due to him manipulating the Realm''s laws Right now Xiao Qiangwei disappeared from the world, not even his shadow was there, but if someone could sense Profound Energy, they would find someone still at his place, Xiao Qiangwei bended the light around him to be invisible to everyone, then he silently floated in air, to not make any unnecessary noise, and floated over the walls. Xiao Qiangwei: ''let''s see if Yuu is here or not...'' Then he searched everywhere while he was in air, but couldn''t find him, so he though he would be in a building, and left the walls to wait for some hours before checking again [1 week later] Xiao Qiangwei found Yuu, he was with a man that was called Guren, a Lieutenant Colonel with a weapon comparable to the first-class weapon made from vampires, it was a real surprise knowing that such an high-ranked man was babysitting Yuu, probably he knew about his condition of being a seraph. When Xiao Qiangwei was leaving, he found a similar signature of Yuu in an hospital, he looked to the window and seen a little girl with reddish brown hair and some markings in her face, Xiao Qiangwei never seen something like that, but from the signature she released, she should be another seraph. Right now he left the city again and stopped his Light domain, he got towards some buildings that were not destroyed and cultivated. [3 weeks later] a month passed from the order, and now Xiao Qiangwei was writing about his findings to Krul, he wrote about finding not 1 seraph, but 2 of them in the city of Shibuya, and both of them were known to the Imperial Demon Army, and wrote about how it was going in this month, then when he finished writing, he created a bird made of Ice Phoenix''s ice, and made it grab the letter and fly at Sanguinem to giving it to Krul. [1 day later/Sanguinem] Krul was waiting in her throne when from the door appeared a bird, it was made of ice, but it was incredibly sturdy due to the special ice used for it''s creation, when the bird landed in front of her with a letter in it''s beak, it directly evaporated, not even leaving a drop of water either in the ground or in the letter. When Krul picked the letter, she opened it and read it''s content "Dear Krul Tepes, Hello, here''s you dear Qiangwei! There are already some pretty interesting findings, the target is in Shibuya, and there is even another Seraph in the city''s hospital for civilians, I don''t know if there are more of them, but the Imperial Demon Army already knows of them. So, how is it going there? I am pretty good here, the Horsemen ignores me, some encounter with some vampires at the start but everything is resolved! ''Not by killing ALL of them''. By Xiao Qiangwei" Krul raised an eyebrow and started her thoughs Krul: ''2 Seraphs? What are they planning...? Haaah... I can''t do nothing right now...'' *sigh* Time to give Mich my blood... I wonder what is doing Qiangwei right now... [Xiao Qiangwei] Right now he found a big chest and opened it, finding many strange things: Pot, dildos, some SM costumes, a gag, a packet of condoms and many other things... [back at Krul] Krul just gave the blood to Mika, who dranked it and thanked her, then he asked Mika: hey Krul-san, how do you feel about Xiao? Krul: what do you mean? Mika: well, he was here because you gave him an offer, no? Have you ever though about how do you see him and how he sees us? Krul: that''s a good question... I would say that he is an important person for me, but what he sees in me, I don''t have idea... You? Mika: Since a year I was here, he helped me and Yuu with many things and we started seeing him a bit as our father figure, but now I would say that he is a caring person and really good friend. I think the letter should be arrived, what was written in? Krul: oh, he found your ''family'', and it seems that the Imperial Demon City already knows of him being a seraph. Mika: Tsk... these humans... one day I will take Yuu away from them... Krul: that day isn''t that far away, you just need to have patience. [at Xiao Qiangwei] after he burned the chest without any sign of regret and a cold face, he left the building and decided to go a bit around Tokyo, maybe he could find something interesting. [8 days later] Right now he found himself in a really peculiar situation, in front of him there was a young man whose body was covered in an armor made of bones, his eyes had black scleras and golden irises, and was handling a greatsword made of bone, it was a seraph(oc seraph) and right now he was looking at Xiao Qiangwei with a blank expression and started talking Seraph: Human, you who dares to possess something that aren''t part of this world, rebelling to the word of god with your mere existence, right now I shall punish you. Xiao Qiangwei: You little shit, you think you can kill me because you are a seraph? Then let me say something, you should never anger a cultivator. 31 Fallen God against Deaths Knigh [flashback] before the encounter, he was just flying around to check a bit some towns near Tokyo, he found at least 7 places that houses vampires, but the most interesting thing was that gargantuan graveyard that was some miles away from him, it released a big stench of death, and a great dark energy, so he got towards that direction. When he arrived there he found many graves, too many, it seems numerous like stars and each one has a name and the data of his death, some were pretty decent, while others were exactly at the moment the virus attacked everyone, he walked forward, avoiding stumbling in these graves, until he found something interesting. While he was walking towards the center, he found some bone spikes, but the bones weren''t the size of a normal human, but they were ranging from half meter to 5, all of them were strong enough to damage him, then he got to the center, it was a flat place without obstacles, except for that rock that was used as a seat for that man, it was the seraph, and it got up and took his greatsword, readying himself for the fight. [present] seraph: I am the Death''s Knight, and in the name of God, I will erase your existence! then he rushed towards Xiao Qiangwei while using his greatsword like it was a normal sword, his movements were almost perfect, he was using all the disadvantages of using an heavy sword, if it wasn''t that he was in a Lower Realm, he would think that it was the Prison God Sirius'' Tome, Xiao Qiangwei used ''Burning Heart'' and created claws made of his ice to block the hit. The ice cracked a bit but it was repaired some instants later, under Xiao Qiangwei''s feet a big crater was created, while Xiao Qiangwei himself trembled a bit, the seraph raised an eyebrow and jumped a bit away seraph: I congratulate with you, human. Being able to block my heavy sword, only demons and other seraph could hope to do it, what''s your name? Xiao Qiangwei: This one is surnamed Xiao and named Qiangwei. Seraph: mh, I will remember it, and I will make a majestic grave for you. Now fight for your survival! then Xiao Qiangwei rushed at him and tried to slash at the Death''s Knight, some hits were blocked from the sword while others slashed the armor, until suddenly he used his golden flames and the seraph backed away, then Xiao Qiangwei moved the flames and used one of his profound skills Xiao Qiangwei: ''Burning Sun Rupture''! then he launched a big stream of golden flames to the seraph, who used his sword to take the hit, and blocking it succesfully. Then the seraph rushed again while Xiao Qiangwei dismissed his left hand''s ice claws and used ''Purgatory'' with ''Falling Moon Sinking Star'' and ''Colossal Fist of the King'', and punched the seraph''s armor after dodging a slash from him. The hit was incredibly strong and made several cracks through the bone armor, while the seraph flew some dozen of meters away, when he balanced himself, he was surprised from the strength of the punch, while Xiao Qiangwei already prepared to use the ''second step'' of his profound art Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Ice then the graveyard flashed a bit before it was completely frozen and snow started falling, the seraph was surprised from the sudden change and from the coldness. then a white blur came towards him and Xiao Qiangwei hit him with a kick precisely where the armor cracked, creating more cracks and making the seraph stumbled of some feets before he regained balance and raised his sword in air. At that moment, some bone spikes got through his feet, injuring Xiao Qiangwei and surprising him Xiao Qiangwei: tsk... then he curved backwards to dodge another spike that would go through his head if he was a moment slower. And then he got out his feet from the bone spikes and started flying in air, right now the seraph and Xiao Qiangwei stared at each other until Xiao Qiangwei felt something behind him and turned, to see a giant dragon made of uncountable human bones and with glowing red eyes. seraph: My beast! Attack him! then the bone dragon roared and fly at Xiao Qiangwei, but he just snorted and used a profound skill Xiao Qiangwei: You little fucker! ''Destroying Sky Decimating Earth!'' Then the dragon got hit from a gargantuan explosion that destroyed the upper half of the dragon, killing it and making bones falling from the sky, the seraph watched with shock at what happened right now, while Xiao was breathing heavily due to the energy consumed for the attack, and then slowly descended, and started looking at each other again. seraph: human... no, Fallen God... you proved to be as strong as us seraphs, and I admire your strength, but you are a threat to everyone in this world, if I am going to die, I hope that you could grant me a wish... Xiao Qiangwei: talk, angel. seraph: I wish you to make a grave for my body right at the center of this graveyard and put my title of Death''s Knight over it, I don''t have a name so I can use that title instead, I hope you can grant the wish of this seraph. Xiao Qiangwei: yes, I will. After this, I will burn the body with my divine flames, and put the ashes in a pot made of the strongest ice this realm has ever seen, and the grave will be made with the same material. Then the seraph nodded and rushed at Xiao Qiangwei with his sword in air, but before he could strike, he seen a gargantuan azure dragon roaring at him, paralyzing the seraph for some seconds, it was the Dragon God Domain of Xiao Qiangwei, and at that right moment he activated another profound skill Xiao Qiangwei: ''Blazing Sunray''! and a little ray made of the hottest divine flames he could muster right now and shot it at the seraph chest, penetrating the already cracked armor and trepassing his chest, killing him. Then Xiao Qiangwei walked towards the dying body of the seraph, and said Xiao Qiangwei: I will mantain my promise, you just need to rest. Then he closed the seraph''s eyes and the armor fell piece after piece, until the body of the young man he was before remained. Then he burned the body to ashes and created an ice pot and put the ashes inside it, and closed the pot, then he made an hole near where the seraph was sitting before the fight and put the pot inside the hole and covered it with dirt, after that, he created a giant cross made of ice phoenix''s ice and manipulated it to write the words. "There is the Death Knight''s ashes, a seraph in human body, who bravely fought until he couldn''t move anymore" Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* It''s a shame I couldn''t capture him alive... He was too strong to be captured. Then he looked around and just noticed the density of the dark energy and whistled Xiao Qiangwei: this place is a fucking heaven for me! Time to cultivate! then he put himself in lotus pose and started cultivating 24/7 while recovering from the fight. 32 The 7th Trumphet is Dead [3 weeks later] Xiao Qiangwei just stopped his cultivation time. because he had to write a letter for Krul, the place was incredible, it made him almost breaking through a realm in 3 weeks, if he cultivates for 1 more week he could even enter the 4th Emperor Profound Realm, but this place could last only for 6 months before the dark energy concentrated here vanishes. So he wrote the letter and created an ice bird and made it fly towards Sanguinem. [2 days later/Sanguinem] the ice bird arrived at the Throne room with the letter, and inside it there was Krul in a throne talking to a big screen, in the screen there was another vampire, he was a young man with tanned skin with pale, shining hair styled in a neat manner. Krul noticed the bird which had in it''s beak a letter which had written ''Important'' over it Urd Geales: What is that bird? Krul: it is the messenger of a servant of mine, I asked him to gain informations outside and to report me every month. Urd Geales: You can read it. Still, we need to do something about the 7th Trumphet in Japan, we can''t even beat him since he has already completed the transformation... meanwhile Krul read the letter. "Dear Krul Tepes, Hello again! Now there is something really interesting that happened 3 weeks ago, I encountered a seraph that goes with the title of Death Knight, it was a really hard fight, but he''s dead now, I am sorry I couldn''t capture him for you, but I had only one chance to attack him at that moment. Right now I will be busy getting stronger, and I will be busy for every single minute, so I will not write anything for 6 months, take care of yourself and say hi to Mika from me and Fuck you for Ferid, I feel like he deserves it" From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul was shocked and let the letter fall from here hands, Urd noticed this. Urd: what is happening? Krul: h-he did it... Urd: what are you talking about? Krul: my helper killed the 7th Trumphet... Urd: ...eh? then both of them stood in silence for some minutes before Urd talked again Urd: so... who is this helper? Krul: he is an human I took during the apocalypse 6 years ago. Urd: an human?! Explain! Krul: I found a kid of 9 years that killed some of my vampires so I made him an offer and he accepted to work for me, then he became stronger, and I sent him outside for work, he will return in 10 months. Urd: how can be a single human be so strong?! Are you sure he is not a seraph?! Krul: he is 100% human, he remembers everything of his life unlike the others who lose their memories. Urd: *sigh* Well, there is no more reason to talk, so I will take my leave, bye. then the screen turned off and moved away. Krul: i swear... I will never stop to be shocked from you, Qiangwei... Then Mika entered the room with a bored face. Mika: hello, what did happen to Xiao? Krul: hello Mich, he still continues to surprise me and he said hi. Mika then giggled a bit Krul: and he will not write anything for 6 months. Mika: wait what? then the doors opened and Ferid came inside with a smile Ferid: hello Krul-san, I think the letter should be arrived, what did he say? Krul: well, first of all he singlehandledy killed the 7th Trumphet. Ferid: ...eh? Krul: and then he said ''Fuck you'' to you. Ferid recovered from the shock and his forehead''s veins bulged a bit Ferid: one day I will lose control... then the ice bird flew at his head and melted, wetting him, Krul and Mika laughed together at this scene while Ferid was livid. Ferid: ''control yourself... control yourself... inhale'' *inhaling* ''and then exhale...'' Ahhh... then he walked away to change his clothes. [6 months later/graveyard] Xiao Qiangwei absorbed all the dark energy that was around, and his realm is at 10th Emperor Profound Realm, he will need 3 more months to breakthrough the Tyrant Profound Realm, his Combat Prowess was at 5th Sovereign Profound Realm. If he would either enter the Tyrant Profound Realm or his Great Way of the Buddha would ho at the next stage, he would be as strong as the 6th Sovereign Profound Realm. Now he stood up, and took a deep breath, then he looked around and noticed that the place was less gloomy than before. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, now that this is done, let''s write another letter! then Xiao Qiangwei took a paper from his pocket and wrote something, then he created his third ice bird and gave it to him, who flew away towards Sanguinem, meanwhile, he started fly away and going towards Shibuya to gather informations about Yuu in these last 4 months. [2 days later/Sanguinem] Krul was really bored at the moment and was waiting for the letter that Xiao Qiangwei promised he would send after 6 months after the last one, then an ice bird came from the doors with the letter, Krul had a smile in her face for having another report from Xiao Qiangwei. The bird directly evaporated and she opened the letter and read it "Dear Krul Tepes, Hi, I just finished sucking dry of this place''s energy to being stronger, now I am going to Shibuya again to gather more informations about Yuichiro Hyakuya, say hi from me to Mika. And don''t worry about anything, I may not know how strong was that seraph compared to the others, but now I am strong enough to end it in really less time than before, just wait for 4 more months and I will come back with the things you wanted. From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul: *sigh* How much stronger can you become¡­? Well, I think he is ready to know about everything... [meanwhile] Xiao Qiangwei had just seen the walls of Shibuya and now was smirking Xiao Qiangwei: Time to take bigger informations... 33 Infiltrating in the HQ Xiao Qiangwei used again his Evil God''s Domain: Light to become invisible again, and floated again inside Shibuya, but this time, he entered inside the headquarters, then he searched for the way for the office of Guren, since he was the nearest person to Yuu right now. When he found the door, he checked inside with his senses and found Guren sitting in front of the computer, so he let some really cold air inside the door with his profound energy, trying to do something at him, when Guren started having cold, he stood up and got towards a wall and checked the temperature of the room through the thermostat, and seen that it was incredibly low, shocking him a bit, so he regulated it. In that exact moment, Xiao Qiangwei used Evil God''s Domain: Time, and entered the room while he was turned, before using again Evil God''s Domain: Light, and becoming invisible again while he was in the room, then Guren turned back at his seat and started ''working'' at the computer, while not noticing Xiao Qiangwei, more than working, he was using his computer to check some ''interesting'' pictures of women Guren: thanks god there is still internet... meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was looking at the pictures and unconsciously nodded with a dumb look [later] Guren finally stopped using his computer and turned it off, and then he left his office, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei turned on the computer and used the password he seen Guren using for certain matters, and entered his account. Then he searched for the files regarding Yuu, and found many things, that he printed later, then he took the documents and hid them in his clothes before silently leaving the office [later] Right now he was flying in air, checking for Yuu, he seemed to think again about killing vampires, making Xiao Qiangwei giggle a bit, after a bit, Guren came to Yuu and started talking a bit together, Xiao Qiangwei though that it was time to stop for today so he left the city and got towards the nearest building to sleep [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was writing a letter to Krul, telling her about his findings in the computer, and other things, then sent a ice bird to her [1 day later/Sanguinem] Krul was waiting in her throne for the letter, and it came, she took it and read its contents "dear Krul Tepes, Yo, I am here again, and I took some documents about the identity of Yuichiro Hyakuya, there was nothing else worth saying so I stop writing now, bye. From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul: oh? So he did jackpot, I wonder what is inside those documents... Mika: about who? Krul: it will be a surprise for when he returns, I already miss his presence, it was satisfying hearing Ferid getting angry for Qiangwei... And I want to hear more of his stories, they are really good. Mika: yeah, I wonder what happens with that guy when he entered the Primordial Profound Ark. Krul: well, in 3 months he will be back. [meanwhile] Xiao Qiangwei right now was going towards Nagoya, to find Crowley and talk about what is going while he wasn''t there and maybe play at something. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was finally at the mansion and entered undetected, after some turns left and right, he found the main hall, and there he found Crowley with Chess and Horn, he smirked before activating his Evil God''s Domain: Wind, and walked without making any sound by stopping the vibrations of the air. Whe. he was behind the trio, he deactivated the domain and yelled Xiao Qiangwei: HELLO!! Crowley/Horn/Chess: AH!/AHHHHHH!/KYAAAAA! then they turned to find Xiao Qiangwei smilling with a shit eating grin and the hands behind his back, after seeing him, Crowley calmed down while Horn was paralyzed from the jumpscare and Chess was at the ceiling with her nails inside it like a cat. Crowley: holy shit... you gave us a big scare... Xiao Qiangwei: the fuck did you think I was doing? Selling candies? Crowley: then, Qiangwei, what do you want from us? Xiao Qiangwei: not much, I was bored and I didn''t have nothing to do, so why not visit a friend? Crowley: oh? Then we can start playing chess if you like it, I am bored too Xiao Qiangwei: Why not? Let''s go. [later] They were at a room playing chess while Horn and Chess were watching them and hoping for Crowley to win. Crowley: so... What are you doing in these days? I remembered you were still inside your room the last time I came there Xiao Qiangwei: Nothibg much, just some job for Krul, and it''s going really good. Crowley: oh, I remember that someone singlehandledy killed the 7th Trumphet, do you know anything? Xiao Qiangwei: 7th Trumphet? Crowley: Krul didn''t talked to you about this? Xiao Qiangwei: well, I was 2 years closed in my room and i left for her mission after 10 days, I didn''t have much time for that, so can you explain? Crowley: well, there are only 7 seraphs in this world, when one is killed, he will find another host, each one of them are called ''Trumphets'' and the strongest one ia the 1st Trumphet, but even the 7th is an opponent that we can''t defeat with normal means, I think it was called... oh! Death''s Knight! Xiao Qiangwei: oh, that guy, he was really strong... Crowley: wait a second... Are you the one who killed it?! Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I left his host in a grave in his giant graveyard. Crowley: wow... What age are you right now? Xiao Qiangwei: I am turning 15 in 3 months Crowley: that... that''s incredible, you may even kill me with a finger in this moment... I wonder how strong you will become in future. Xiao Qiangwei: well, I am starting to slowing down in this matter, maybe in 3 years I will achieve my limit. Crowley: oh? you have a limit? Who knew about it. Xiao Qiangwei: Checkmate... Crowley: eh? wait... what... how... why... when... I have so many questions! Xiao Qiangwei: well, it was funny to talk with you, but I need to get at my job, let''s meet each other in future. Crowley: bye Qiangwei. Girls, show him the exit. then Horn and Chess nodded and took Xiao Qiangwei to the exit of the mansion, in the way, they encountered Lucal Wesker, the 15th progenitor, who seen him and licked his lips Lucal: Hello ladies, I wonder if I could get a bit of his blood, I am a bit hungry. Xiao Qiangwei looked at Horn since she was the most mature between the duo with him and she shook her head. Then Xiao Qiangwei sighed and started walking forward, ignoring Lucal, who got a frown from being ignored from an human. Lucal: Insect, no one told you to leave. Xiao Qiangwei stopped walking and then snapped his fingers, and Lucal''s arm completely frozen, shocking both him and the women, then Xiao Qiangwei turned and used his heavy killing intent that he gained from his past life from killing countless people that wanted his head or his collaboration together with a weaker Dragon Soul Domain, and the three progenitors started getting sick, almost puking from fear. All three of them started having hallucinations of their lifeless bodies, that were going in fire, and when Xiao Qiangwei turned back at his way again, that disturbing feeling suddenly stopped and the progenitors looked with fear at Xiao Qiangwei, who was leaving the mansion. 34 Misunderstandings [1 day later] Xiao Qiangwei turned back at Shibuya after staying a bit with Crowley and his women, but before he found his building, he met with a team of human soldiers, and between them, there was Yuu, with their same clothings, the moment their eyes met, Xiao Qiangwei panicked internally, but he had still his poker face Xiao Qiangwei: yo Yuu: Xiao?! How did you escape from Sanguinem?! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Oh thanks god my reputation of a vampire hater is still there...'' Xiao Qiangwei became more famous not only because he was a father figure for everyone, but there was even that he could take down vampires, and the majority of the population in Sanguinem though that he was forced to work from the vampire queen, even if they weren''t wrong, he didn''t really hate vampires, he seen everyone as an equal in terms of species And right now, Yuu misunderstood him for leaving the city because he finally could do so, instead for a job, because he never though that an human would be willingly work for the vampires. Xiao Qiangwei: well, I seen what happened at the exit and I used this chance to escape, but I want to say, I am sincerely sorry that I couldn''t come before, if I was a bit faster, I could save someone... for the second part of his speech, Xiao Qiangwei was really sorry, because he really liked giving hope to the kids since he started working for Krul, and when he got at the massacre, and seen that almost everyone died, it broke his heart, and almost used his flames to kill Ferid, but he held back and broke only his spine with a kick. when he looked up, he seen Yuu crying a bit. Yuu: It''s not your fault... It was the vampire''s fault from killing almost all of us... You can help us killing them, right guys? at the last part, he turned towards the other soldiers, who started discussing a bit and said Soldier 1: sorry kid, we have laws to follow. when he finished talking, there was an explosion at their left and seen an Horseman of John coming towards them, especially towards the group of soldiers, who prepared to use their weapons. But the horseman was suddenly cut, together with the building behind him, and both fell to the ground, everyone was shocked and looked at Xiao Qiangwei who had a finger stretched towards the dead Horseman of John Xiao Qiangwei: now can I enter? the others dumbly nodded whole Yuu had stars in his eyes to see again his idol beating someone, when he beaten some vampires with simple moves back then, it fullfilled Yuu with hope, and decided to follow Xiao Qiangwei''s steps. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was again inside Shibuya, but without the Light Domain, and then Yuu and Xiao Qiangwei encountered Guren, who raised an eyebrom about the man that was together with Yuu Guren: Hey Yuu, who is this guy? Yuu: he is the man I was talking about sometimes! The one who could beat vampires with an hand! Guren searched in his memories and Yuu really told him about this guy, he was a bit thankful for being a father figure to every kid in the vampire city but was a bit suspicious about him working together with vampires. Guren: Xiao Qiangwei, right? Xiao Qiangwei: yes. Guren: can you tell us where the vampire city is? Xiao Qiangwei: I walked inside the subways to come here and I didn''t take any maps, do you think I know where it is? Guren couldn''t find any lie about that, Xiao Qiangwei really didn''t bringed a map, because he read it in every station he passed. Guren: no... Well, it''s a shame... come with us, if you are really strong as Yuu said, then you can even join the army. Yuu: he is even stronger than before! He used a finger to cut an horseman and the building behind it! Guren stumbled a bit after hearing that and turned towards Xiao Qiangwei with shock in his eyes. Guren: are you sure you are not a vampire?! Xiao Qiangwei opened his mouth and didn''t have any canines, Guren sighed for the more paperwork he has now. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was in his new room, then he looked around and didn''t find any camera, so he wrote a letter and created an ice bird, which flew away from Shibuya. [1 day later/Sanguinem] Krul was talking with Mika about something until an ice bird came in the room, Krul and Mika raised an eyebrow and Krul took the unexpected letter, opened it and read. "Dear Krul Tepes, You may ask about the letter, but I am going to explain it now, there is a big possibility that I may not come in the time you asked for, because the humans found me near my base and misunderstood me for an escapist from Sanguinem, and since Yuu seen me, they though about putting me in the army for my strength. So, I can''t leave through normal means, because I don''t like crushing Yuu''s hopes for a friend like me, either I fake my death, that is very hard, or I will find something myself. But don''t worry, now I can get better datas about him, tell Mika about this and that Yuu is still ok, bye. From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul: *sigh* that idiot... Mika: what happened? Krul: they found him... Mika: the humans? Krul: yeah, he told me to say that he will join the army and that he can get better informations about the target, and that your ''family'' is safe. Mika: Yuu is there?! Krul: yes, maybe another time he will say something about him. Mika: shit... I wonder what are they doing to Qiangwei now... 35 The ant, the baby and the tiger. Guren and Xiao Qiangwei were in a room to make his documents. Guren: name? Xiao Qiangwei: Qiangwei Guren: surname? Xiao Qiangwei: Xiao Guren: Birthdate? Xiao Qiangwei: 25 October 2004 Guren: place? Xiao Qiangwei: China, I don''t know precisely where because me and my family were transfered less than a year after I was born. Guren: mh, age? Xiao Qiangwei: 15 years, I am nearing 16 Guren: family? Xiao Qiangwei: dead, I am the only child Guren: what you would like to do? Xiao Qiangwei: I like giving people hope, letting them know that I am there for them, and they should never be afraid. Guren: mh, then we have done. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, then where should I stay? Guren: I will take you at your room, tomorrow I want to see your fighting capabilities, from what I heard from Yuu, I need to get serious if I want to injure you. Xiao Qiangwei: and that will not be enough... Guren: we will see. [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei was in front of Guren, Guren had his cursed gear, while Xiao Qiangwei was bare-handed, both of them are in the Training Grounds of the army. Guren: are you sure you don''t want a weapon? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, and even if I wanted one, all of them you have here are too weak and I prefer using claws as a weapon, but I am pretty good bare handed too. Guren: well, get ready then. after a moment, Guren rushed without sheating the sword, whil Xiao Qiangwei was there, and when they were 1 meter away, Xiao Qiangwei moved one of his legs, distracting Guren a bit, before he flew away from a slap of Xiao Qiangwei, when Guren balanced himself, he noticed a bruise on his face, and the put an hand in his sword while smiling. Guren: that slap was really hard, but I wonder what you will do now. Guren took out the sword and release a dark aura, while Xiao Qiangwei turned and looked at Guren with cold eyes, who stopped smiling Xiao Qiangwei: Be serious. Right now Guren took a stance with his sword and looked at Xiao Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t panic. now Guren took a deep breath and relaxed himself. Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t break your stance. then Guren put himself in a more comfortable position, ready to sprint forward. Xiao Qiangwei: Be aware of your surroundings. Guren''s eyes were still concentrated to Xiao Qiangwei''s figure. Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t let your guard down even for an instant. Right now Guren''s muscles moved, but right at that moment, Xiao Qiangwei''s finger was right in front of his forehead. Shocking both Guren and the demon in the sword that was watching. Xiao Qiangwei: weak. At these words, Guren''s eyes widened, and let Xiao Qiangwei talk Xiao Qiangwei: there exist 3 types of powers, the first, is the power taken from someone or something else, you are in this category, I can calmly say you can''t even use the full capibilities of your sword, you just use some knowledge from the sword''s way and the abilities of your sword. The second is the power gained from a reason, this is the power I believe Yuu possess, he just needa to find a bigger reason for more power, I am sure you noticed. Guren: and what is the third? Xiao Qiangwei: is oppressing power, this one is different from the other 2, because one can achieve it alone, but needs some sacrifices, it may range from loneliness, being orphan, killing someone, or putting a giant target in your back, I am in this category, and you know what is the difference between this and the previous 2? Guren stood in silence, it was a bit embarassing being talked down to a 15 years-old guy that didn''t even joined the army. Xiao Qiangwei just grabbed the blade of Guren and put a bit of pressure, creating a small crack, shocking him and the demon in the weapon. Xiao Qiangwei: it is ''Absolute''. There is nothing that can go against it except for a more oppressing power or a miracle, if I applied a bit more pressure in the blade, I could snap it like a stick, now tell me, why you lost? Guren: it is because you are too strong... Xiao Qiangwei: no, it is because you are too weak, I know people that could use me as a rag as I am now. Just because someone beat you, it doesn''t mean that that guy is strong, you are just too weak to go against him, it is like a battle between an ant and a baby, which one is stronger? Guren: obviously the baby. Xiao Qiangwei: and what would happen if you put a bloodthirsty tiger in the fight? Guren: the baby is weak... Xiao Qiangwei: exactly, and this is the situation with us, the army is the ant, you are the baby and I am the tiger. Now, will I get in the army? Guren: yes... the next year you will get a weapon worth being used from you... Xiao Qiangwei: well, let''s return to our room, bye Guren. Guren: bye. [later] Yuu: hey Xiao, are you accepted in the army? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, the next year I will get a weapon. Yuu: so fast?! That gorilla... Xiao Qiangwei: what happened? Yuu: he promised me I would fight against vampires, but I still didn''t get out from here! Xiao Qiangwei: maybe the mext year, when you will become 16, you can go outside for some huntings. Yuu: I really hope it. [Meanwhile/Sanguinem] Ferid was in the throne room with Krul and Mika. Ferid: what happened to Qiangwei? There should have been a letter some days ago. Krul: he succeded infiltrating in the infantry. Ferid: ...eh? Is it even possible? Mika: well, he did it... It may be because he is Xiao Qiangwei. Ferid: yeah... it may be that... I swear one day he will give us an headache... I wonder what will do Crowley when he hears it. 36 The real objective of Krul Tepes [1 year and 3 months later] Xiao Qiangwei was at home relaxing, he finally got the limit with a really long period of cultivation of 6 hours cultivating and 4 hours with ''Great Way of the Buddha'', achieving the 4th Tyrant Profound Realm, he expected this result, and was happy, now he had more time to cultivate the Great Way of the Buddha up to the fourth stage, even if he needs 2 years for it with 6 hours of cultivation. He got outside and stretched his arms, then he looked around and casually observed the Second Shibuya High School with a smile. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I wonder what is that idiot doing now'' While Xiao Qiangwei was there the entire time, he still sent letters to Krul about his finding, and since he started living here, he made it so that his ice birds could turn back if she wanted to say something, sometimes he would receive letters from her about how was going his job, some little requests and etc..., other times she would crush the ice bird as for telling that there''s nothing she would say now. And during that period, he received a certain letter from Krul [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei stopped cultivating because the ice bird he sent, returned back with a letter, he opened it and read. "Dear Xiao Qiangwei, Hello, I wanted to write about something really important, and at the end of this, you will destroy this letter with any necessary method, I am talking about my real objective here in Japan, I wanted to tell you when you come here, but I wanted to inform you the fastest possible to avoid misunderstandings, and because I really trust you. My real objective is to find my brother that I lost many years ago, Ashura. Many years ago, we were sold to Sika Madu, the first progenitor, who made us vampires, but later me and my brother separated and I couldn''t find him anymore, and I am still searching for him, when I first saw you, I though that finally I could have some help for this quest of mine, and it seems I was right, so thank you if you want to help me, really, I am sincerely grateful to you. From Krul Tepes" Xiao Qiangwei registered the words he read just now while burning the letter with golden flames, and sighed. Xiao Qiangwei: I just hope she doesn''t kill herself while I am out. [present] Xiao Qiangwei was over some buildings observing Yuu from a really long distance together with a short girl Xiao Qiangwei: ''Holy shit, did he just got a friend?!'' Then he seen a group that entered the class while bullying a guy, after some seconds Yuu came to defend the victim, but after the little girl said something he couldn''t hear, Yuu got hit pretty bad in the head from a bully. After some minutes of observations, he could hear an alarm "Emergency warning! Emergency warning! All students and personnel! A vampire just broke out of the vivisection laboratory... Close to the school. All students and personnel must leave the premises at once. Drinking blood will restore its vampiric power... So don''t try to approach it." then he seen Yuu running at the place where it should be. Xiao Qiangwei: let''s see what can do the idiot here. and then he jumped over the buildings to observe the fight, some minutes later, he seen Yuu falling from a window with a female vampire''s hand at his neck and got a bit worried so he jumped behind the vampire and grab her shoulder Vampire/Yuu: eh? Then both of them they looked behind the vampire and found Xiao Qiangwei with a smile Xiao Qiangwei: hey idiot, need help? Yuu: shut up, Qiangwei! I could do it! Xiao Qiangwei: you know that a sword in her heart will do nothing, there are only 4 methods to kill a vampire, the first is through the UV rays released from the sun, the second is using a weapon made for killing vampires, the third is by erasing the entire body from the existence, and the fourth... then he lifted up the vampire with one hand and grabbed her head with the other, she tried to injure him but all of her attacks couldn''t do a scratch to him, and then he slammed her to the ground making a crater and crushing her head in smitherees, grey matter and blood, killing her Xiao Qiangwei: ...is destroying their heads. Yuu: holy crap... that was brutal even for me! Then Guren and his team came to them Guren: Well, thank you Qiangwei to helping us. and you, Yuu, this time you did a really good job, you saved a lot of people with your act in the class, and protected your school buddies. Yuu: School buddies? Xiao Qiangwei: don''t tell me that girl and the boy weren''t your friends. Yuu: girl? Guren: he has friends? Then Shinoa came and told Guren Shinoa: now you need to mantain your promise and let him join the Moon Demon Company. ?: Yaaay! I''m so happy to see you''re all right, Hyakuya! Yuu: huh? Xiao Qiangwei moved from the way and watched Yuu being hugged from Yoichi and falling in the grass Yoichi: I though you were dead! Yuu: What?! What the heck is wrong with you?! Xiao Qiangwei: I think it is called homosexuality. Yuu: Oh fuck! Get away from me! Then Xiao Qiangwei took out his phone and started making photos at them while Guren was sighing at the work he has now and Shinoa was laughing at the situation. [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei was watching the funny situation in front of him, there was Yuu who was being confessed from the girl that he saved yesterday girl: I like you! I''ve written down my feelings for you in this letter, please read it! then she gave a letter to Yuu and ran away. Meanwhile Yuu was surprised from such events and didn''t even noticed that the girl was already away Yuu: well... actually... I don''t have time for this kind of stuff. Shinoa: well, well, well... The hero who saved the school from vampires... Has become pretty popular. Are you going to make that girl cry this time? Then Xiao Qiangwei fell from his place and joined them Xiao Qiangwei: C''mon Yuu, there isn''t only vampires in the life, unless you want to impregnate one, that is impossible. Yuu/Shinoa: how do you even know it? Xiao Qiangwei: You can learn many things while you were forced to work for them for around 4 years. 37 Breaking Cursed Gears like wooden sticks. [later] after Shinoa made a speech to Yuu, she showed both him and Xiao Qiangwei her weapon and a demon that manifested behind her Shinoa: Shikama Douji. Yuu: The enchanted equipement... That can curse and destroy vampires? If I had one of those, I could kill vampires all by myself. Shinoa: No, you couldn''t. It''s impossible to kill them alone right now Xiao Qiangwei turned to her with a frown and said Xiao Qiangwei: Am I a joke to you? Shinoa: eh? No wait, I didn''t wanted to offend you sir. Let me rephase it. Ahem, unless you are a special case, you can''t kill them alone. Yuu: Sir? Hey Qiangwei, why is she calling you sir? Xiao Qiangwei: what did you expect? I could kill vampires barehanded and not receive respect? Yuu: right... Well, Shinoa, give me that weapon! Shinoa: You can''t use a demon weapon that''s already bound by a contract to someone else. Yuu: in that case... Show me the real power of that weapon! Then he rushed to Shinoa with a normal weapon while Shinoa had a bored face Shinoa: cut it out already... You can''t fight against a demon weapon with normal weaponry, unless you are him. then she pointed to Xiao Qiangwei and used her scythe to block Yuu''s weapon Yuu: ugh... Shinoa: Shi-chan, beat that idiot up. then the demon behind her back moved towards Yuu to attack him Yuu: Eh?! That thing moves too?! before the demon attacked Yuu, Xiao Qiangwei appeared between them and raised a palm, easily blocking the hit thanks to his strength and immunity to the Darkness element. Xiao Qiangwei: give me a break... then he punched the demon downwards, stopping the attack and making a crater to the floor, shocking Shinoa while Yuu was grinning. Yuu: so that''s all it can do? Shinoa: it''s obvious, Xiao Qiangwei could break even the strongest weapons made from us barehanded, I still wonder what will happen when he will get a weapon too. Yuu: oh yeah, Qiangwei, why you don''t have a weapon similar to her? Xiao Qiangwei: Guren had the good idea to make me wait more than 1 year for it, and I still don''t see it, maybe he made me wait because I would babysit you. Yuu: I don''t need a babysitter! Xiao Qiangwei: say it to the vampire that almost killed you yesterday. Right now Yoichi entered the roof and runned towards Yuu while being followed from the guys Yoichi: Y-Y-Yuu-kun, please help me! Yuu: ''sup Yoichi, are you being bullied again? Yoichi: W-well, actually... man 1: Please wait, Yoichi-san. We''ve heard that you''ve been chosen to be part of the elite corps known as the vampire annihilation force! Xiao Qiangwei: ''...What?'' man 2: please accept our apologies for bullying you. Would you take us as your underlings? Xiao Qiangwei: ''Jesus... These two are more shameless than the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region...'' [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Shinoa, Yuu and Yoichi were in front of the doors for a forbidden area because the previous leader of the two bullies came inside. Yoichi: So, Yuuji-kun... Shinoa: He has not been force by our organization, which means that... His heart might have been devoured by a demon. Yoichi: what happens to someone whose heart is devoured by a demon? Xiao Qiangwei: They stop being humans, and their body absorbs too much demonic energy, becoming demon themselves, and the only method to save them is breaking their weapon, make a new contract with it, or remove all the dark energy inside them. Shinoa: oh? How do you know it? Xiao Qiangwei: who do you think killed the failures? Right now let''s see if Yuu can save the day before the guy becomes a demon. Shinoa: eh? what are you tal... king about... she turned around and didn''t found Yuu anywhere, then she entered the forbidden area and found Yuu in the ground with the cursed weapon in his hand. Shinoa/Yoichi: Yuu! Shinoa: why didn''t you stop him?! Xiao Qiangwei: he needs to be stronger, I can''t be always with him, one day we could separate from each other and I can''t save him, so he needs to train to get a stronger weapon. Then look, it seems he won. Both Shinoa and Yoichi turned and seen Yuu that was getting up with a smile Yuu: now the axe belongs to me! Xiao Qiangwei: nope, it doesn''t. Yuu: what do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: first of all, it isn''t easy contracting with a demon, second, if you want to kill vampires, you need a better weapon, not that excuse of a cursed gear. Yuu: eh? is it really that weak? Xiao Qiangwei: give it to me. Yuu: ok... then Yuu gave him the axe while Shinoa and Yoichi were panicking Shinoa: wait, if you touch it... nothing happens? she was warning Xiao Qiangwei before he came at contact with the weapon and nothing happened. Then he raised the weapon with both hands, and unexpectedly to everyone watching him, he brought down the weapon snapping it in two pieces with his knee. Xiao Qiangwei: see? For weapons like Shinoa''s or Guren''s or the other types, I need a bit more strength to destroy them, while this was fragile. Yuu: oh... Xiao Qiangwei: it''s ok, I am sure yhat you will enter the vampire annihilation force now, and you will get a better weapon instead for that trash Yuu got a smirk at the news and raised his arms upwards Yuu: YAHHOOOOO!! everyone smiled at his behavior. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was at his room, and was writting a letter, that he sent away with the ice bird [1 day later/Sanguinem] Krul just received the letter from Xiao Qiangwei and opened it to read. "Dear Krul Tepes, I am back again, and with a really good news, there is a possibility that within 3 months, I will leave the city safely and I could try to fake my death or disappear from them, if it doesn''t happen, then it means I didn''t have a good chance to do it. But don''t worry, no one still suspects anything, and it seems that I will get a cursed gear too. Say to Mika that I am ok, that Yuu is safe and tell Ferid that he should stop being the pedophile he is being now, I am sure that he is outside taking a kid at his mansion right now. From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul: finally... I hope he will come really soon, I wonder how much he grew up... 38 A True Devil in the Cursed Gear while the letter arrived to Krul, Xiao Qiangwei was at the school spectating Yuu from a corner, it was entertaining because it seems he finally acquired a rival, it was a tall guy with short pink hair and glasses, he was called Shiho, right now they were quarreling in the class Xiao Qiangwei: Yuu, just get in your seat, no one here cares about if you are important or no. Shiho: and who are you? Xiao Qiangwei: your superior, now get to your seat. They just continued the quarrel ignoring Xiao Qiangwei, who sighed Xiao Qiangwei: Guren, do it. Guren: yeah yeah... then he took both of them down with a kick and turned back at his desk Guren: the lesson starts now... [a week later] Guren was in class and was asked from Shiho and Yuu to give them a weapon, and he accepted Guren: hey Qiangwei, test them. Xiao Qiangwei: ok. then he got in front of the classroom and started talking Xiao Qiangwei: ok, this will be the test, at the start of it, you need to reach the teacher''s desk, got it? Everyone nodded until Yuu asked him Yuu: Qiangwei, when will the test start? Xiao Qiangwei: you will find out really soon then he made the same thing he did at Nagoya, he unleashed the entirety of his killing intent and used a bit of Dragon Soul Domain. Many fainted directly with foam in their mouth, some puked in the ground. While Yuu and Shino got an hand in their heart, released cold sweat, and started having hallucinations of their death right at their place coupled with some interferences. Yoichi seemed immune to it, probably because he couldn''t still feel killing intent. Guren, Shinoa and Sayuri, another teacher, were taking deep breaths from the sudden terrifying pressure over them. After some dozen of seconds Xiao Qiangwei stopped, letting the ones that have not fainted recover. Shiho: w-what was that? Yuu: I... I don''t know, he never shown something like that... Yoichi: hey guys, what happened to everyone? Xiao Qiangwei: the test ended, the o es who fainted and puked are out, the ones still standing and didn''t dirtied the floor with their breakfast passed, congratulations, Guren, do your things. then Xiao Qiangwei left from the room and waited outside while Guren started talking. [later] Guren, Yuu, Xiao Qiangwei, Shiho, Yoichi and Shinoa were in the basements, to get their weapons. Guren: all right, here we are. the room was really big, and had giant statues of demons kneeling in one leg while an array was in front of each of them, each one of them had a cursed gear. Xiao Qiangwei: *whistle* pretty dark here Yuu: what is this place? Guren: this room hosts the objects almost all of you ardently wished for. The weapons enclosing all the most powerful demons. Yuu: the most powerful... demons... So, with one of those I can finally hunt down vampires? Guren: that depends on how strong you are. Now go and choose your weapons and step inside the ritual circles, the ceremony will automatically start as soon as you lay your hand on the weapon. If you defeat the demon, it''s power will be yours. Shiho: what if we lose? Xiao Qiangwei: you''ll either be turned into a man eater or succumb to the overwherming power of the demons. In either cases, I will exterminate you. Yuu: but aren''t you doing the test too? Xiao Qiangwei: do you really believe I would lose? Maybe I will be longer than you guys for a chat with the demon or anything, but I don''t believe he is strong enough to beat me. Yuu: good point... Guren: now pick your weapons and the ceremony will start. Xiao Qiangwei looked around until he found a pair of big black claws with green outlines Xiao Qiangwei: so you have a pair of them, good. Then he walked towards the claws and touched them Xiao Qiangwei: ''Why do I feel God did something?'' When he touched the pair of big claws, he was in a white world, when he looked around, he didn''y found anything. Xiao Qiangwei: Where the fuck are you, Demon? ?: Turn around. When Xiao Qiangwei did so, he found something shocking, there was a familiar giant figure, he was nearly five meters tall, black light radiating from his body. His skin was a deep gray color while his hair was bone-white, trailing all the way to his feet. At first glance, besides his enormous build and the dusky hue of his skin, his appearance was basically no different from a human''s. His features were exceptionally handsome, from a human''s perspective. Furthermore, he did not look much older than a thirty year old man. Right now he was grinning at Xiao Qiangwei while he was in shock. Xiao Qiangwei: No... It can''t be really you... I killed you at the Profound Sky Continent... ?: So you still remember me, Xiao Qiangwei... Then recovering from shock, Xiao Qiangwei started laughing like a maniac. Xiao Qiangwei: I really can''t believe you are my weapon... Demon... Or should I use your title? ?: I prefer you using my old title, Evil God Jr... Xiao Qiangwei: Did God take you here too? ?: Yes, I was confused at first and angry later for knowing I would be used as a mere weapon, but when I heard I would be your weapon, I though ''Why not? I am already dead, there''s nothing to lose'', and he put me in these claws. He informed me that I will be present only in this life with you. So, after you die we will say goodbye. Xiao Qiangwei: So, about your test? ?: I can''t do nothing, even if I am superior to those poor excuses of demons, you are still immune to my elements, you already passed. Xiao Qiangwei: Then... Welcome to the Lower World... Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign. 39 Tensnotsumi, the Devil King of Eternal Night Devil Clan M.S.D.S: Finally you used my title... Let''s make this, we are going to fight, I win, then you will use the claws at their 10% of strength Xiao Qiangwei: and if I win? M.S.D.S: I will teach you my Profound Art, the ''Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night'', I will tell you my name, and at the end of this life I will give you my Devil Origin Orb. Xiao Qiangwei: oh? Isn''t that a bit much for you? M.S.D.S: well, I wanted to make things interesting. Xiao Qiangwei: are you at the same cultivation you were at your nest? M.S.D.S: no, I am at the True Devil realm Xiao Qiangwei was shocked, because when he fought against him, he was at the Sovereign Profound Realm, he would never expect that the difference of cultivation between then and now is so big. Xiao Qiangwei: then it''s impossible to defeat you! M.S.D.S: no, to make the things more interesting, God told me to give you this... then he created an energy orb, it was incredibly charged, and had the same signature of Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: that... is that my original power? M.S.D.S: yes, this is the power of a True God you possessed before dying. Even if it is incredibly weaker from a real True God from the primordial era, I think you have a chance to defeat me with your powers, but it will be usable only in this fight, once we finished, it will disappear. Xiao Qiangwei: then let''s do it! The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign gave him the power he possessed at his first world, his realm was increasing really fast, and after 1 minute he was at the True God realm, and released his might. [meanwhile] In the room, Yuu woke up and seen in his hand his new katana. Guren: Oh! Did it go well, Yuu? Yuu: of course I did! Shiho: don''t act so damn cool. It took you quite some time to exorcize that demon. Yuu noticed the weapons in Shiho''s side Yuu: you succeeded too? Shiho: isn''t that obvious? Yuu: what about Yoichi and Qiangwei? right now an explosion came from Yoichi and both Yuu and Shiho were startled Yuu: what was that?! Guren: aha, so it''s true. Yoichi wasn''t strong enough, oh well... Two out of four challenged and defeated a black demon, so I really can''t complain. Yuu: eh?! What the hell is going on?! Guren: now that you''ve earned your demon weapon... I''ll assign you your fi- at this moment Guren was interrupted from a really big gust of wind, that made everyone in the room, the possessed Yoichi included, fly away from Qiangwei''s body and crash against the walls Yuu: W-what... Is this power?! Guren: don''t tell me, Qiangwei is becoming a man eater too?! Shiho: what''s the big deal?! Shinoa: he is famous in the high ranks bevause he is the strongest man ever seen, he was able to defeat Guren at his 100% while he didn''t almost nothing Shiho: what?! during this talk, Yoichi gained back control because the demon was afraid of Xiao Qiangwei''s actual power. [back at Xiao Qiangwei] Xiao Qiangwei and the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign were clashing their hits, the latter didn''t use any profound art because they were useless at Xiao Qiangwei while the latter directly used the 6th Gate, Rampage, to match the devil''s power, every hit they did were incredibly strong. Xiao Qiangwei/M.S.D.S: AAAAHHHHHHHH! Then their fists met, one was the ''Falling Moon Sinking Star'' while the other was overcharged with Profound Qi, and even then both powers were at the same level, Xiao Qiangwei didn''t used any Profound Art of the Golden Crow and Ice Phoenix because he wanted an interesting fight, so he used only the Evil God''s arts. They continued like this for what it seems like hours, and no one of them gained any injury, they were just starting getting tired, so the Devil started concentrating his Qi in his body, enchanting it greatly and started emitting a black aura, while Xiao Qiangwei smirked. When the demon came near him for another hit, Xiao Qiangwei used something that he would like to do since he became a True God the first time. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Evil God''s Art: Rampage: Splitting Heaven Cutting Hell!'' then an incredibly small orb was created in front of Xiao Qiangwei, and released a bright red laser from it, that cut the demon''s body in half with easiness, shocking him. The 6th Evil God art, Splitting Heaven Cutting Hell, was a profound skill that concentrated everything in a single orb as small as an ant, it would seem very weak at first glance, but it''s cutting power is strong enough to cut anything, even the Primordial Azure Dragon at his peak, but its energy consuption is big enough to almost emptying his energy, making him vulnerable. The body of the devil became a black mist and it reformed itself to his original form. And looked at Xiao Qiangwei, who was breathing heavily with one knee down and losing all the power he gained before. M.S.D.S: you won with an unexpected attack, congratulations. A promise is a promise... Then he created a black orb and sent it to Xiao Qiangwei M.S.D.S: this is my Profound Art, Illusionary Devil Tome of Eternal Night, and I will tell you my name, my name is Ten''notsumi, king of the Eternal Night Devil Clan and the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign. Xiao Qiangwei: Ten''notsumi... Sin of Heaven... A fitting name for a True Devil. M.S.D.S: praises will take you nowhere, now get out, your friends are waiting for you Xiao Qiangwei nodded and left his mindscape. [outside] the power that was surging from Xiao Qiangwei''s body disappeared, and everyone prepared themselves in case he became a Man Eater, then they seen him getting up, and turned to them with the claws in his hands Xiao Qiangwei: yo. Everyone exhaled in relief and put their weapons away from him. Guren: you gave us a big scare. Xiao Qiangwei: well, my demon was a bit different from everyone else, and I got some surprises from him, but I succeeded and got the weapons. Guren: *sigh* well... Now you all have a demon weapons, I guess it''s time for you to be sent to the front lines. Yoichi: whaa? we''ll suddenly be sent into real combat? Shiho: can''t we make time for a little rest? Shinoa: hahaha... Xiao Qiangwei: don''t be a kid, what did you expect? You have one of the best weapons in the city, and you think you can rest? Guren: *sigh* bringing up kids is so tiring. We''ll be in tokyo soon... [meawhile] Mika was in a plane, flying for Shinjuku for a mission Mika: I''ll get you back, Qiangwei, and Yuu... I will save you from the humans. 40 The First 6-Men Team [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei was in his dream with Ten''notsumi talking about their lives, it was a nice chat, he even gave tips about the new Profound Art he got from the Devil, and he had already mastered the first 3 skills: Hand of Darkness, Jet Black Sword and Night Devil Heaven Burial. Right now he is trying to master the fourth skill ''Nine Deaths of Eternal Night'', but was interrupted from his alarm clock, and woke up. Xiao Qiangwei: time to join a team... Xiao Qiangwei already knew about things in the Moon Demon Company, like their 5-man teams, the weapons, and other things, he was wearing his new clothes, a black military uniform with some green decorations. Xiao Qiangwei: I miss my old clothes... then he wore the claws that disappeared once they were put in his hands, it was another ability he found about Ten''notsumi, he could make them appear or disappear at his wish, when they disappeared they were placed in his dimensional pocket forcefully created from the demon. Then he left his room after closing it with his keys. [later] He met with Yuu and Shinoa in the way and talked a bit until they heard a voice ?: Lieutenant colonel Guren! I won''t agree to this! Why was I assigned to a team of rookies? I''m an elite soldier! I joined the annihilation force when I was 13! Yuu, Shinoa and Xiao Qiangwei turned to find a blonde girl with twin tails yelling at Guren, while Shiho and Yoichi were near them Xiao Qiangwei: eh? Then doesn''t it mean that we are 6-men team? Shinoa: that is a really strange case... Yuu: why? Shinoa: because every team in the Moon Demon Company are made with 5 people. Oh? Is that Mitsuba? Mitsuba: I might have tolerated this if I was, say, the team leader in charge of training the new recruits, but now you say the squad leader is going to be none other than Hiragi Shinoa with that silly smile that''s always plastered on her face!! Explain that to me! Xiao Qiangwei: What the fuck is wrong with her? Guren: mh? Oh, you''re all here. I will now give you your orders. then the girl turned and got angry when she seen Shinoa Mitsuba: There you are, Hiragi Shinoa! Shinoa: Hello. Here I am guys. Guren: No bickering, Shinoa. From now on, Mitsuba will be a part of your team Shinoa: of course, no problem, lieutenant colonel. I''m an adult, I can ignore the barking of a good-for-nothing loser. Mitsuba: I''ll beat you to a pulp! then she made appear a giant axe while Shinoa laughed and made appear her scythe Guren: Qiangwei, do something... Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* Good grief... then he came in front of the two girls and used his fingers to block the weapons, shocking Mitsuba while Shinoa calmed down. Xiao Qiangwei: stop doing this shit on the morning, at least do it alone. Shinoa: yes... Mitsuba: who do you think you are? Xiao Qiangwei: depends, if you annoy me then I will be your executor. that made Mitsuba shut her mouth. [later] Guren: this is your new companion, Sanguu Mitsuba. You might ask why you have a 6th member, it is because she was part of the Company from more time than you all, and she can guide you with everything, and because there was one member without a team, so why not make a 6-men team instead of 5? And here it is. When outside the walls, never lose sight of your companions, and don''t take independent action, with the exception of Xiao Qiangwei. Got it? Xiao Qiangwei, Yoichi, Shiho, Mitsuba: Yes! Shinoa: Got it, Mr. Foolhardy Yuu: Yes, but I can''t promise anything, If I see a vampire, I''ll go after it, even on my own... then he blocked a sudden kick from Mitsuba Yuu: What the hell? Mitsuba: tch. You''ve got good reflexes. But I hate idiots like you the most. People like you are a danger to the whole team. Yuu: I have no intention of arguing with you, so don''t come asking for it. Mitsuba: All right, lieutenant colonel Guren. I''m in charge of training this brat, right? Guren: well... Actually, both you and Shinoa are troublemakers... Mitsuba: I am not a troublemaker!! Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* someone shot me already... Then he heard a voice in his head Ten''notsumi: I should not have accepted God''s offer, for the love of what I care about, she is even worse than my son, and I sealed him in a sword! Shiho: What a bunch of troublesome people Yoichi: fufufu. If you say that, then it must be true, Kimizuki-kun. Shiho: what? Yoichi: hahaha, nevermind. Guren: By the way, the people who are here today are your fellow team mates Xiao Qiangwei: I didn''t noticed it, what a surprise... Guren: stop with the sarcasm. Xiao Qiangwei: yeah yeah... Guren: your team is more than a family, you must protect it with your very life. Now, I will assign you a mission. Go to Harajuku. Xiao Qiangwei: Wait what?! Guren: is there a problem? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it is the same station I came from, I encountered 15 vampires there and now the number is reduced to 9, they ran away, that place is used as a settlement for humans that gives their blood to the vampires. Guren: That is a nice information, good. Well, like Qiangwei said, there is a village for humans, free them from the vampires and then proceed to Shinjuku. [later] They were in front of the station, and suddenly a yell was heard, they turned around and found a little girl being followed from an Horseman of John little girl: help! Yoichi: what?! An horseman of the apocalypse! Yuu: damn it! Mitsuba: Don''t move, idiot! Stay in formation! Yuu: Eh?! What the hell are you talking about?! then Mitsuba turned to Shinoa Mitsuba: Hey, Shinoa! Shinoa: Yes, this is porbably a trap set by those vampires. If we go help her, they will attack us. Yuu: What?! How do you know that?! Shinoa: It''s easy to figure out. Yuu didn''t care and runned to save the girl who was being attacked from the Horseman, and like Shinoa said, some vampires appeared. Yuu: Here they are! Vampire 1: ah ha ha! vampire 2: stupid human. then they attacked Yuu before they heard a familiar voice. Xiao Qiangwei: it''s you! the vampires turned to his direction Vampire 1: damned hu- FUCK! NOT YOU! GUYS GET THE FUCK AWAY!! the vampires frozen on the spot for a moment before leaving the team alone, everyone turned towards Xiao Qiangwei who just killed the Horseman Xiao Qiangwei: what? 41 Rescue at the Station [later] Mitsubi took Yuu in a corner to talk about his behavior, while the remaining 3 were near Xiao Qiangwei Shinoa: Qiangwei, do you know what happened to them? Xiao Qiangwei: I said it, no? There were 15 of them and now they should be 9, I think I was clear with it. Shiho: You killed 6 of them alone and without a weapon?! Xiao Qiangwei: in less than a minute. Yoichi: Whoa¡­ Then the kid they rescued came near them and looked at Xiao Qiangwei while Yuu and Mitsuba were walking towards them. Little Girl: It''s Big Brother!! Then she hugged Xiao Qiangwei''s leg and looked at him with a smile Yuu/Mitsuba/Shinoa/Shiho/Yoichi: Big Brother? Little Girl: Yes! Around a year ago he came from the lower floors of the station, the vampires wanted to kill him, but he beaten all of them in a flash! The first one became ashes instantly, he didn''t even have time to touch Big Brother. Other 4 were cut little pieces at the same moment, I couldn''t even see if Big brother did something because he and another vampire disappeared and were near a wall with Big Brother''s hand in the vampire neck, that told Big Brother where was the exit and then he became ashes too. The other 9 were too afraid of him and made way to the exit. Everyone: ...Eh? Then they looked at Xiao Qiangwei in shock, while he was checking a bit his claws, then he looked up at them and said with a blank face Xiao Qiangwei: What? Everyone in the team said at the same time Everyone: Nothing¡­ [Tomorrow] The girl was at Shibuya right now, safe, while the team was in front of the station Shinoa: So¡­ According to Qiangwei''s informations, the vampires are hiding in the old omotesando subway station, where they keep humans there as well. There are 9 vampires, which mean we''re outnumbered. But according to the reactions of yesterday from the vampires, we can use Xiao Qiangwei''s presence as an help, but for safety, we will make a surprise attack in the early morning, when they are fast asleep. Shiho raised an hand Shinoa: Kimizuki-kun? Shiho: What about the civilians they''ve captured? What if they use them as hostages? Mitsuba: I don''t care about hostages, our enemies have numbers on their side. We''ll have our hands full of taking care of ourselves, we can''t afford to worry about them too. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, Shiho, I will take care about the hostages. Shinoa: Then Let''s get going! Stay in formation, protect one another, and don''t get separated from the rest of the team, got it? Yuu: Sure Shiho: Mhm. Yoichi: Yes, Ma''am! Mitsubi: All right! Xiao Qiangwei: Aye. Shinoa: then let''s destroy those vampires! [later] the team was inside and seen some humans that sat there without doing nothing Yuu: What is it? Shiho: T-this... Some guys seen him and started talking between themselves man 1: Who are these people? man 2: Those uniforms¡­ man 3: Wait a second, isn''t that with platinum blonde hair the same one who came here a year ago? man 1: Yes, it''s him! Yoichi: Uwah, so many people¡­ Shiho: What the hell''s going on here? Why don''t they try to run away while the vampires aren''t around? Xiao Qiangwei: Where do you think they should go? The laws of the JIDA don''t let outsiders enter unless in a special case, like me, and outside here there are Horsemen. Shiho: Yeah¡­ Mitsuba: Pay them no heed! Let''s move on! Let''s head for floor B3 where the vampires are stationed, at once! [later] They were walking while looking around, until they found a vampire passing near them. Yoichi: What''s going on here? Vampire: Hmm? Mitsuba: Get ready to attack! Everyone draw their weapon and Yuu directly rushed to the vampire, killing him Yuu: Ooooh! Vampire: Gaah! You head of livestock! Yuu: Hah! How does it feel to be killed by a head of livestock like me, monster? Get out of my sight! Then the vampire became ashes. Mitsuba: ...You Idiot!! I told you not to take independent action! Yuu: I''m no- Vampire: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! GET AWAY YOU MONSTER!!! he was interrupted when they heard a scream and turned to see a vampire crawling away from a walking Xiao Qiangwei, who had a smile the entire time Xiao Qiangwei: Time to test my abilities. Then he activated his claws and raised one hand, while activating his profound art, that was mistaken for the Claws'' abilities. Xiao Qiangwei: Hand of Darkness... Then an big hand made of pure darkness appeared over Xiao Qiangwei, who lowered it, and the hand smashed flat the vampire, killing him immediately. Everyone watched with horror the hand that was floating near Xiao Qiangwei, who turned to them and used the black hand to wave at them. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, I missed anything? Yuu: What was that?! Xiao Qiangwei: It was one part of the special ability that Ten''notsumi gave me, later you will get one too, I have 5 abilities like this. Shiho: Is Ten''notsumi your demon? Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then said Xiao Qiangwei: There are 7 more vampires, let''s¡­ Shinoa: Something happened? Xiao Qiangwei: Since we are here, let me show you the second ability, get down. Everyone did so and seen Xiao Qiangwei ready to swing horizontally, 7 vampires came out to attack them, but they were too late Xiao Qiangwei: Jet Black Sword. Then when he swept his arm forward, a small black line came out from the claws and was going towards them, the vampires raised their weapon to protect themselves, but they broke at contact, and the black line cut them in 4 or 5 pieces, without mercy. But the black line didn''t stopped there, it continued towards the wall, and cut that too, and continued forward for some dozen of meters before disappearing. Everyone got up from the ground, watching the ability and the easiness the vampires died. Xiao Qiangwei: Those are really good results. Mitsuba: What... What was that thing? It gave me creeps just from watching his second ability... Yuu: It must be because it is him that its using the weapon. Mitsuba: What do you mean? Shiho: Before we got the weapons, he tested our willpower, and when the test started, my heart beaten really fast, and just with his killing intent, he made almost everyone seen hallucinations of their dead bodies, giving the impression that Qiangwei would kill us at that moment. Many fainted, some were awake but puked, while me, Yoichi, Yuu and Shinoa were standing... But it was terrifying... Mitsuba stood in silence and looked at Xiao Qiangwei''s back with awe. [later] They left the station, but before they could get away, they heard a voice. man 1: What the hell have you done?! Why did you kill those vampires?! Now that they''re gone, what will become of us? What will become of the children?! Yuu: What the hell is he talking about? Xiao Qiangwei: ''It started...'' Man 1: The Japanese imperial army said that due to demographic regulations, we aren''t allowed to live in Shibuya or Shinjuku. But what about the people who are forced to live outside the walls? Who will protect us from the monsters prowling out here?! Shiho: ''So this is what Qiangwei talked about before...'' Man 1: You''re just pampered high class brats who grew up in comfort behind the safety of the city walls, and then you come out here to play heroes! Xiao Qiangwei: Shut the fuck up! ''I will teach him now!'' then everyone turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who had a pissed off face. Xiao Qiangwei: Do you think that just because we saved you, then you are in a position to tell us how we should do our job?! Then hear me, I don''t fucking care about what you wish, if you want to talk to someone, then talk to the government, you aren''t the only one who suffered. Everyone here have a bad past, for example I seen parents die in front of me and I can''t even see my other friends, I couldn''t do absolutely nothing, even if I had the power to easily kill a progenitor, I couldn''t even save a group of kids from a vampire, and I am still being stronger than ever... And I am sure that everyone in the team has their own problems. the man lowered his head in shame while Yuu was looking at him in sadness, knowing what he was talking about at the second part of his speech, meanwhile everyone else looked at him with pity. 42 Leaving from the Moon Demon Company [later] Shiho was driving a car they got during the walk to Shinjuku, both he and Yuu were full of injuries due to making fun of Shinoa''s height when she offered to drive. While Shinoa''s arms were numb due to hitting Xiao Qiangwei with her scythe, that laughed at her too, but she was too weak to injure him in any shape and form. Then they heard something Yuu: What''s that? Shiho: Another one of the ''Four Horsemen of the apocalypse''? Yuu: Should we get rid of it, then? Xiao Qiangwei: There''s no need, let''s just avoid it. Mitsuba: Wait¡­ There is noise coming from Shinjuku''s direction. Xiao Qiangwei: Let me hear¡­ then Xiao Qiangwei concrentrated a bit while everyone was in silence waiting for him. Xiao Qiangwei: There is a fight at Shinjuku''s direction. A pretty big fight. Shinoa: Mh¡­ Everyone should prepare for battle, we can''t be sure of what might happen. Shiho: We should be able to see the defensive wall of Shinjuku behind the corner. I''m turning! when they turned, they seen the city that was in flames. Yuu: That is¡­ Shinjuku is under attack?! Then they noticed a figure coming towards them, Xiao Qiangwei already noticed him and was surprised that it was Crowley coming with a smile, Xiao Qiangwei poked his head outside the window, making Crowley''s eyes widen from the surprise. Then Xiao Qiangwei put a finger in his mouth, telling him to not tell anything about him, Crowley already heard things from Ferid so he knew a bit of his situation and nodded, then the rest of the team could see the figure coming towards them, and Yuu got shocked. Yuu: That uniform¡­ It belongs to a vampire noble!! Don''t stop, Kimizuki!! Run him over!! Then Shiho accelerated and ran over Crowley while everyone jumped out from the car, Crowley just raised an hand and took head on the car, destroying it. Yoichi used his bow against him and shot 7 arrows Yoichi: You bastard! meanwhile Crowley just put an hand in his sword and said. Crowley: Sword¡­ Please suck my blood. The sword grew spikes in his handle, injuring Crowley''s hand and feeding on his blood, then Crowley used his sword to block the hits. Yoichi: No way! Then Crowley slashed the air, creating an energy wave towards Yoichi, which was blocked with a claw of Xiao Qiangwei, then he turned towards the others. Xiao Qiangwei: Get the fuck out! He is not on your level and you will only hinder me! Shinoa: We will not leave you here! Then Chess and Horn appeared and stood together with Crowley, shocking the others due to how the difficulty just raised. Then Xiao Qiangwei used his third skill Xiao Qiangwei: Eternal Devil Heaven Burial! And the progenitors were surprised from the dark energy that was covering their bodies into a big black sphere Xiao Qiangwei: I said get the fuck out! I will not get killed so easily, like Guren said, I am the only one who can act independently from the team, you go inside and save everyone. The others hesitated before nodding and leaving Xiao Qiangwei with the three progenitors that were trapped in the weaker version of the profound skill. When Xiao Qiangwei seen that they were far enough, he deactivated the skill, releasing the progenitors. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, Crowley. Crowley: Heh, I though Ferid was joking when I heard from him that you infiltrated in the Moon Demon Company as their dog. Those are good claws. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks, how''s life guys? Crowley: Meh, boring like always, at least we can fight now, do they know anything? Xiao Qiangwei: nothing, and I got a shit ton of informations while I was there. Chess: Hi Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo. Horn: The 7th founder is calling you to the frontlines, Crowley. Crowley: Hmmm? Ferid''s calling me? It''d be bad if I don''t go. Hey Qiangwei, do you want to join us? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I planned to leave the team without crushing their hopes on me, and this is a good situation, just let me change my clothes. Crowley: ok, make it fast. [later] Crowley, Horn, Chess and Xiao Qiangwei were jumping over the buildings, Xiao Qiangwei took a vampire''s clothings and created a demon skull mask made of ice, covering his face and hair, then some minutes later they found Ferid and Mika, and some dozen of meters away there was Xiao Qiangwei''s team Crowley: You called me, 7th Founder? Ferid: Ah, if it isn''t Crowley. I''ve been waiting. With you guys here, it''s already game over for them. There''s no need for us to kill them, and who is that guy there? Ferid noticed Xiao Qiangwei, but didn''t recognized him for the ice mask, Xiao Qiangwei: Oi, pedophile, you don''t recognize the ice that fucked up your arm? Ferid: It''s you?! Xiao Qiangwei: Just don''t mention my name to them, I like them... Ferid: ok, I don''t want to fly across the entire city from your kick... Mitsuba: What did you guys do to Xiao Qiangwei?! Crowley: oh, this guy here took him down. He was pretty strong, but he was killed from him. Crowley pointed to Xiao Qiangwei, the others looked at him with rage and a bit of despair, thinking that he killed their teammate. While the chaos started, Mika got towards Yuu while Xiao Qiangwei fought against the other 4, who were angry at him, but every hit they did to him, he effortlessly blocked it with his body, he was not injuried while the others were getting tired, and were took down with just a movement of Xiao Qiangwei. Shinoa: Shit... How can someone be so strong... No wonder he killed Qiangwei... Then everyone heard a scream Yuu: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Yuu''s left eye bleed and a black liquid came out from his back, forming a distorted black wing, everyone was shocked, except Xiao Qiangwei, that knew everything. Crowley: What the heck? Something unpleasant came out Yuu just swinged his sword and destroyed some buildings, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei sighed and walked towards Yuu, while strengthening his mask. Xiao Qiangwei: Give me a break... Yuu: Sssslaaa-slaughter... allllll..... si-si-si-si-sinners! Then Yuu swinged his sword to Xiao Qiangwei, who catched the sword with his right hand with easiness, meanwhile behind him, a big crater was created, everyone was shocked with the easiness Xiao Qiangwei was handling everything. Yuu: Get out... Fallen God... Ferid/Mika/Crowley/Guren: Fallen God? Shinoa: Yuu! Xiao Qiangwei just threw a fist at Yuu, making him crash through several buildings, and making him go unconscious, while the black wing disappeared, even if Yuu right now is a bit stronger than Xiao Qiangwei in terms of realm, Xiao Qiangwei''s Combat Prowess reached the Half Step of Divine Origin Realm, and it can''t get stronger anymore. Everyone watched the short fight and the humans were afraid of XIao Qiangwei, who was still masked, while the vampires were watching everything with shock, especially the nobles, due to never seeing his real strength. Ferid: Well, let''s get going already. I''ve already finished what I wanted to do here Crowley: Heh? What you wanted to do? Ferid: It doesn''t concern you, see ya, Crowley. Then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared from everyone''s eyes and appeared near Ferid, who was walking towards Mika Ferid: Mich, we are withdrawing Mika: I need to save Yuu! Xiao Qiangwei just chopped Mika''s neck and made him unconscious, while Ferid was looking at him strangely. Xiao Qiangwei: What? You wanted to leave, no? Then what are you waiting for? Then Xiao Qiangwei took Mika like a sack of potatoes and left with Ferid back at Sanguinem 43 The Truth [2 days later] Xiao Qiangwei, Ferid and Mika turned back safely at Sanguinem, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei put Mika in a capsule to heal him while Xiao Qiangwei walked towards the Throne room, where Krul should be, some minutes later he knocked. Krul: You can enter. he opened the door and entered, he was still in his disguise so she didn''t recognize him, but then he knocked his mask and it broke like glass, revealing his face to Krul, who was shocked to the return of Xiao Qiangwei and smiled Krul: You are back!! Xiao Qiangwei: Yep. So, do you want to talk about how we passed the time away from each other or you want the informations about Yuu and the Seraph Experiments? Krul: There is still time, let''s talk alone for a bit. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, so¡­ It was good, I made some friends too, they were nice, and I got new weapons. then he made appear the claws, when Krul observed them, she was intimidated from the devilish aura in them Krul: so those are the Black Demon Weapons¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Those are a joke compared to these two jewels here. Krul: What do you mean? Did the humans created stronger weapons? Xiao Qiangwei: fortunately no, they are a gift from my old master¡­ Krul: I am curious, who is this master of yours? Xiao Qiangwei: I can''t say nothing because I don''t know much about him too, but he could use me to wipe his ass in a fight between us. How was life going? Krul: It was good, I admit I missed your presence, put now that you are here we can talk again, but I have a question about something¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Ask away. Krul: When one of your firends became an incompleted seraph, he called you ''Fallen God'', do you know anything? Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* ¡­I will tell you about it only one condition, you will stay in silence about it no matter what. Krul hesitated for some minutes before she accepted. Xiao Qiangwei: Let''s go to my room then... [later] Xiao Qiangwei and Krul were in the former''s room, he closed the door with his ice phoenix''s ice powered with the dark profound energy, and then they sat over his bed Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, whatever I say from now until the end will be the truth, you can ask questions too, and I will decide if I want to answer or no, and you will reveal nothing to no one, no matter who, the room is sealed with sound-proof mechanism made from me, remember that I trust you¡­ Krul: Yes, now start talk. Xiao Qiangwei: ok¡­ You remember the story I told you about? Krul: Yes, why? Xiao Qiangwei: The protagonist of that story, is Xiao Qiangwei¡­ It''s me, from my past life¡­ Krul was shocked from the news, so everything that the protagonist she and Mika liked much, was what Xiao Qiangwei did, but she didn''t believed it much. Krul: Prove it¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei used the first gate, ''evil soul'', his eyes became red and his power increased of 3 folds. Xiao Qiangwei: This is Evil Soul, the first gate¡­ Then he used Burning Heart, the second gate, his aura became red. Xiao Qiangwei: This is Burning Heart, the second gate¡­ I can go up to Rumbling Heaven, the fourth gate, right now, because if I use Hades I would die right away. Is it enough? Krul: Yes... I have a question... How did you die? Xiao Qiangwei: There is a reason I was called Fallen God from the Seraphs, in my previous life, I became so strong, that I became a threat to everyone just by existing... So the four God Emperors made an incredibly poisonous weapon and an array to hide from my senses, and when I was tired, they stabbed me from behind, normally I would regenerate, but the poison was deadly, and killed me. Krul was shocked from the words of Xiao Qiangwei, and asked another questions. Krul: Wasn''t there anyone that could help you? Xiao Qiangwei: There wasn''t anyone, I was always alone since I had 10 years, when I lost my parents. For 35 years of my old life, I was lonely, the only company I had was the people who wanted my head. Krul: then how did you remember your past life? Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t know, I just closed my eyes when I was dying and when I opened them, I was between the arms of my mother... ''I can''t say nothing of God... He needs to be a secret no matter what'' Krul: Then... Are you angry to the people who killed you? Xiao Qiangwei: No, because I know that it is because I lowered my guard, and I know why they did it, because they were afraid of me... Right at this moment Krul hugged him to console him. Krul: I heard enough... No need to tell me everything... Right now, you aren''t alone anymore, I am here, just relax on me... Xiao Qiangwei hesitantly returned the hug and stood like that for some minutes, before Krul felt a bit heavy in her shoulder, and found Xiao Qiangwei that started sleeping over her shoulder. It made her smile and she put him inside the blanket and decided to watch him, later she felt uncomfortable so she got over Xiao Qiangwei''s bed and lied next to him whila watching his sleeping face, after some minutes she closed her eyes too, and they slept the entire night together. [morning] Xiao Qiangwei felt someone on the bed and opened his eyes, to find Krul''s sleeping face some inches in front of him, he was surprised from the situation so, to not wake her up, he left the bed silently and got in the kitchen to make breakfast for him, but then he though about something¡­ [later] Krul woke up and found out she was in Xiao Qiangwei''s bed, at the memory of it, she got red but she calmed down and took deep breaths, she noticed that Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t in the bed, so she looked around his house to find him, in the kitched she found a glass of blood and a letter near, she took it and read. "Dear Krul Tepes, You might be asking where I am, I am walking around Sanguinem right now, I left you a glass of blood to drink, and I thank you for yesterday, I really needed to take some weight from my back. PS: turn the letter around after drinking the blood. From Xiao Qiangwei" Krul did as the letter said and drank the blood, it was the most delicious thing she ever drinked, and when she finished drinking, she felt already full, not being able to drink anything for some centuries, then she turned around the letter and found another note. "The blood was mine, if you like it then I am glad, if not... just tell me" When she read it, suddenly the taste of the blood she just drank got even better, and she smiled sweetly. Krul: Then it''s true that thinking about people you like makes the food tastier... I think I fell for you... Xiao Qiangwei... 44 Turning back at Nagoya [some days later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking alone in the streets of the city until he met with Mika, who didn''t see him and ran on him, and then falling to the ground, Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow at this and asked Xiao Qiangwei: Hey, Mika, something happened? Mika: I need Krul''s Blood now¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Tsk¡­ Just drink mine. Mika: Eh? But¡­ I don''t want to be a vampire. Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t fucking care, better becoming a vampire now than in future. Mika: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: you didn''t know? Drinking vampire blood is a temporary method to live, soon it will be useless, did you notice that you are starting drinking more blood? Mika nodded and listened. Xiao Qiangwei: Once a certain period passed, Krul''s blood will do nothing to you, but mine is a bit special, even drinking some drops of it, you will be satisfied for several months. Now choose, either you become a vampire, or you die of hunger in the streets, and if you tell me I am doing it for pity, you''re wrong, I just want to help a friend in difficulty. Mika though about it calmly before he hesitantly accepted, making Xiao Qiangwei smile, so he made appear a claw and injured himself, making Mika worry about him Mika: What are you doing?! Xiao Qiangwei: I am giving you blood, for what you are now, you aren''t strong enough to pierce my skin with your teeth, now drink. Mika looked at the blood that left from the already regenerated injury of Xiao Qiangwei, who licked it and drank every single drop of blood, and his eyes became red. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, now get away, it seems like I am doing a gay porn scene¡­ Ok, now go tell Krul that you don''t need anymore of her blood, that will last you for around 10 or 15 years. Mika: Wait what?! So long?! Xiao Qiangwei: yep, you are lucky that I am here, otherwise either you die of hunger or drink constantly blood. Mika: Thank you¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: You don''t need to thank friends, pal¡­ Now got report Krul about this situation, she knows about the effects of my blood since she already drank it some days ago. Mika: ok¡­ then he walked away towards Krul while Xiao Qiangwei just looked around [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei was with Mika and Krul, talking about his past, which was known only to Krul. Xiao Qiangwei: and when the young man was alone in the Primordial Profound Ark, he used the rich energy around him to cultivate, and broke through the 9th Sovereign Profound Realm in 10 months. But later he found the place that is used to piloting the ark, and used it to going to another realm entirely, he found himself in an abandoned realm, it was a dried landscape full of strong Profound Beasts, and each one of them were at the Divine Realm Mika: What is the Divine Realm? Xiao Qiangwei: The Divine Realm is a stage that is achievable after the Sovereign Profound Realm, it is divided in 7 realms, Divine Origin, Divine Soul, Divine Tribulation, Divine Spirit, Divine King, Divine Sovereign and Divine Master. Krul: are there any other stages over that? Xiao Qiangwei: There are 3 other stages but it will be for another time. Mika: Oh yeah, how strong are the realms? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, fortunately for you, I can classify your strengths, Mika, your strength is around the 10th Sky Profound Realm, while yours, Krul, is at the 3rd Emperor Profound Realm. Krul: And yours? How much will be? Xiao Qiangwei: I am between Sovereign Profound Realm and Divine Origin Realm, otherwise called Half Step Divine Origin Realm this news shocked them, knowing the gargantuan gap between them and Xiao Qiangwei, they have an idea about how much strong is an Half Step Divine Origin Realm Mika: Wow... Krul: Indeed... How does the story continue? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, after that, the young man left the Ark to test himself against them, but the beasts couldn''t do much and they were killed from the young man''s claws, later he cultivated there, and in 1 mere year, he broke through, and ascended the mortal stages, entering the Divine Origin Realm... We will continue another time, I am a bit hungry. Mika: right, then see ya later Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Bye Mika, Krul. Krul: Bye. Then he left, some time later Mika left too, leaving Krul at her thoughts Krul: So you became a godlike figure at 15 years... No wonder everyone was afraid of you... But I don''t care, one day we will be together until our death, after I find my brother... Xiao Qiangwei was outside the door, almost knocking, until he heard what she said, he blushed a bit but he easily calmed down, and left silently while smiling. [a month later] Mika was given the order to leave to Nagoya alone while Xiao Qiangwei was next to Krul the entire time, while she was smilling, Xiao Qiangwei was masked and both of them were in front of Guren, who was kneeling and had his arms tied up. Then a vampire came near him and grabbed Guren''s head Vampire: Tremble in fear, little human. You forgot your place and dared to lay your hands on nobility, did you think you could get away with that? Guren just spit at the vampire''s face, making him angry while Xiao Qiangwei was chuckling vampire: How dare you?! Filthy, miserable little human wretch!! then he kicked Guren in the face, making him fly away, after the vampire continuously hit him with his feet, Guren released his demon, and became a Namanari, then he slashed at Krul''s neck, that was blocked from Xiao Qiangwei''s profound energy that was used as a shield Guren: You will assist me, vampire. Krul: Ah, I see, you... are a messenger from Mahiru Hiragi, correct? Xiao Qiangwei: ''Hiragi? Isn''t that Shinoa''s family name?'' Guren stood in silence, and that made Krul angry, who hit Guren and made him fly away. Krul: answer me, human. Are you a messenger from Mahiru Hiragi? Guren: Mahiru is dead. I couldn''t save her. Krul: ...Then who are you? Guren: hahaha... Krul: This was not part of the deal. Before the Catastrophe eight years ago... I made a bargain with Mahiru Hiragi. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Whoa, how much shit did she hid?'' Krul: If you are not her, I cannot help you- Guren: Then kill me. Go on. There was silence. Guren: You can''t, can you. You''ve betrayed your own kind too deeply to turn back now, even you, Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: How did you know? Guren: Do you think I can''t recognize the strength of someone who almost broke my Cursed Gear? I admit, if you didn''t defend the vampire from me, then I would not recognize you, but it was a really big surprise knowing that you are alive, I wonder what will do your friends when they know everything... Xiao Qiangwei: So you think that you can blackmail me? Go on, tell everything to them, but remember, when you will mutter a single word about it without my permission, I will cripple you in any shape and form, and I will personally make sure that you are alive. Guren: Got it... I will not tell anything to anyone without your permission... 45 Golden Fires Destruction [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Krul and an army of vampires were at the airport of Nagoya, and were watching a massacre of humans being killed from chains coming from a car, between them there was even Xiao Qiangwei''s old teammates and Mika, there was even a new guy with them Kureto Hisagi: Do not be afraid! Livestock graduated! Today it is us humans who will subjugate the vampires! Alright, let''s buy some time until the experiment is complete. Xiao Qiangwei: Experiment? Kureto: Make way for the future of humanity!! then every human soldier charged at the vampires with their war cry. after a while, Krul talked. Krul: Qiangwei, do you recognize the power in that car? Xiao Qiangwei: Mid Way Tyrant Profound Realm, it''s an incompleted seraph, but I still can''t recognize which one Krul: oh? Xiao Qiangwei: I see Mika, with my old teammates. Krul: where? Xiao Qiangwei just pointed the direction, and Krul indeed seen Mika near Yuu''s team Krul: are you going to hide from them again? Xiao Qiangwei: no, since Mika is with them, they must know about our situation, there''s no reason to hide from them now... In this right moment, the power coming from the car skyrocketed, reaching the 1st Sovereign Profound Realm, everyone turned towards it because a beam of light came from it towards the sky, and a little girl with two pair of white angelic wings and a trumphet in front of her. ?: Ugly humans... Perish. then from the car, other chains appeared and penetrated the seraph in the chest, and some moments later a black matter left her back. Meanwhile Mika was running towards Krul and Xiao Qiangwei with an heavily injured Yuu Krul: Mika, have you secured Yuu? then she noticed Yuu''s injuries Krul: His wounds will heal if he drinks my blood, let''s go. Mika turned to see the other people escaping from the demon and heard Yuu talking Yuu: Mika... Gu... Guren was crying... We have to help him... Mika: You''re still thinking about that? Yuu: my family... Mika: I''m your only family! Yuu: I... right now he released a great gust of wind, making the ones near him taking some steps back while Xiao Qiangwei was immobile, then two pair of black deformed things got out from his back. Mika: Yuu! Krul: Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: oh? Interesting, 7th Sovereign Profound Realm, he''s the 2nd Trumphet. Krul: tsk... This is bad. Mika: Krul, Qiangwei! I want to save Yuu! But... How can I do that?! no one responded, but instead, Xiao Qiangwei walked towards the pillar of energy being released from Yuu. Krul: what do you think you are doing? He may injure you! Xiao Qiangwei: He will not be able to hurt me, there is a big difference between the Sovereign Profound Realms, even more so when I am at Half Step Divine Origin Realm. It is like comparing a normal soldier to a vampire. Meanwhile Abaddon, that was over the 5th Trumphet, formed himself and shot a beam towards them, precisely at Xiao Qiangwei, who juat extended an hand at the beam was blocked with ease, with the other hand, he grabbed Yuu''s black thing that was in his back, and forced him in the ground Yuu: Stop obstructing me, Fallen God! Xiao Qiangwei: shut up. then he burned the things in his back with his golden flames, and made Yuu unconscious again, at that moment, Abaddon stopped using his beam. Kureto: Xiao Qiangwei?! the old teammates heard him and turned towards Yuu, and indeed found Xiao Qiangwei unharmed Shinoa: YOU ARE ALIVE! Shiho: HE''S HERE?! Mitsuba: WASN''T HE DEAD?! Yoichi: he... he''s back! Xiao Qiangwei seen them and waved at them while smiling. Mika: Golden fire? Krul: So you stopped caring about your secrets, Qiangwei. Mika: What do you mean? Krul: Qiangwei is someone completely different from what you though, but he will be the one explaining things, I promised him to not talk about it. at this moment Crowley was behind her trying to injure her, but she cut off his hand Krul: Crowley Eusford, you are much too slow Then Ferid appeared behind her with his head near her neck Ferid: Hee hee... Oh, but he was just a distraction, your majesty. You''ve left your lovely neck wide op- HMPH! he was interrupted from an hand in his mouth, he looked up to see a pissed off Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: before I let you off with a frozen arm and a broken spine, now I dare you to beg mercy when you tried to harm her in front of me! Krul/Mika: Qiangwei! Crowley tried to slowly get up and leave but Xiao Qiangwei released his full might of a 4th Tyrant Profound Realm, pressuring him in the ground. Xiao Qiangwei: Scum... I will show you to not mess with me... Then he made appear Ten''notsumi in his hands, and started emitting a devilish aura, scaring everyone nearby, and then he walked towards Ferid and Crowley, who couldn''t move due to the pressure over them, and for the first time in this life, he used the ''third step'', World Eating flames, right now sky blue flames appeared over the claws, releasing cold and hot air at the same time. It was incredibly hard merging the Ice Phoenix''s ice with the Golden Crow''s flames at the start, because the latter was very hot and had the tendency of destroying everything, so after some time of control, he could create the third step of the ''Three Steps to the Throne''. everyone near him started feeling cold and hot at the same time, surprising them Ferid: h-hey Qiangwei, we can talk about this, rig- Ugh... he was interrupted another time when Xiao Qiangwei''s claws penetrated both Ferid and Crowley, and started burning them, not leaving any traces of their existence. Meanwhile Qiangwei''s old teammates grouped together with Mika and Krul and watched everything, and now they were seeing Xiao Qiangwei turning towards the demon Abaddon, who roared at him, Xiao Qiangwei''s claws disappeared and then concentrated a bit of energy inside him Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Fire. now the entire airport was put on golden flames, that were burning everything, humans, vampires, even the demon, while the seraph, and the ones that are near Xiao Qiangwei right now were safe from them Shinoa: what... what is this? Mika: Evil God? Wait, isn''t that the one from Qiangwei''s story? Yoichi: what are you talking about? Mika: it isn''t important now... Shiho: how could he do this without the demon weapons? Xiao Qiangwei disappeared for some seconds before reappearing with the 5th trumphet that was unconscious Xiao Qiangwei: let''s leave... Everyone just dumbly nodded before following Xiao Qiangwei 46 The End of Seraph of the End [2 days later] Xiao Qiangwei and the others were away from the airport of Nagoya, and now the others were waiting for an explanation from Xiao Qiangwei, right now they were in an abandoned house and eachbone of them were sitting in a seat, even Yuu, who was conscious yesterday. Shinoa: ok, Qiangwei, now explain. Xiao Qiangwei: ask questions. Shinoa: Why did you fake your death? Xiao Qiangwei: to return back to Mika and Krul there. Yuu: why? Xiao Qiangwei: I was never forced to work for them, excluded the first moment, After a year from the virus outbreak I had the power to escape from Sanguinem, the city where I lived, so I just obeyed to Krul orders Mitsuba: What was that power? Xiao Qiangwei: no comment. Shiho: what you wanted from us? Xiao Qiangwei: informations about anything regarding the seraphs. Yoichi: how strong are you? Xiao Qiangwei: I am probably one of the strongest in this planet right now. Any more questions? Yuu: yes, was it you who gave the blood to Mika? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, I didn''t liked seeing him always thirsty for blood, so I gave him mine, even if it made him a complete vampire. Yuu: then thank you for this... Shinoa: What are you planning to do? Xiao Qiangwei: well, I don''t have anything to do, so either I leave you all and fi d something to do, or I just go stop the remaining seraphs. Mika: you can always come with us. Krul: sorry Mich, but I need to leave you all alone. Mika: why? Krul: The other progenitors might know already about my betrayal, and they will hunt me down Mika: you can just come with us, right Yuu? Yuu: if Mika trust you so much then yeah, guys? the rest of the team looked to another way, not making contact with Yuu''s eyes, disappointing him Krul: it was obvious, which human would stay with a vampire like me... Xiao Qiangwei: I would. Everyone: eh? Xiao Qiangwei: What? I said I would stay with Krul if she would like, I am stronger than anyone and I don''t mind protecting her. Krul was getting red and lowered her head in embarassment, while everyone else smiled at his behavior Yuu: so you still want to give people happiness and hope? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, but I have something really important to say about Krul. Krul: eh? What? Xiao Qiangwei: Yuu, take out your sword. Yuu was curious and did as he said, unsheating Asuramaru. Xiao Qiangwei: well, Krul, I present you Asuramaru, or if I''m not wrong, Ashura, your brother. Everyone: EHHH?! Krul: what did you say?! Xiao Qiangwei: while I was gathering informations, I found out that the demons were created from vampires under certain conditions, and that blade sent a similar signature to yours, before I couldn''t notice it, but when we were in the same room, I could feel it. Krul then turned towards the black katana with green outlines and touched it, and got unconscious while standing in her feet and with open eyes. meanwhile Shinoa started talking to Xiao Qiangwei while smirking Shinoa: hey, Qiangwei... Xiao Qiangwei: mh? Shinoa: you got a crush on the vampire queen, right? Xiao Qiangwei: if you are trying to embarass me, you are doing it in the wrong manner, but yes, I like her. Mika: EH?! Seriously?! Xiao Qiangwei: what? If you wanted a gay relationship there is still Yuu. Yuu/Mika: wait what?! Mika: What the fuck are you talking about?! Xiao Qiangwei: hey Shinoa, be careful, Mika might steal your dear Yuu. right now she got red and angry, so she summoned her scythe and attacked him, but her hands got numb when she hit him, while he was unharmed. Shiho: hey Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: yes? Shiho: who was that guy with the ice mask? Xiao Qiangwei: that was me. Mitsuba/Yoichi/Shiho: wow... Yoichi: so you defeated Yuu when he got berserk a month ago... Xiao Qiangwei: yep. Right now Krul gained back her consciousness and started crying, Xiao Qiangwei noticed this and patted her head while comforting her, meanwhile the others were talking together about the situation they are right now. [later] Everyone prepared themselves, it was decided that Krul and Xiao Qiangwei will travel alone while the remaining ones will stay together. Yuu/Mika/Shinoa/Yoichi/Shiho/Mitsuba: Bye Qiangwei!! Xiao Qiangwei: Bye guys, let''s see each other in future! Mika: bye Krul! Krul: Bye Mich, and don''t die! Then each group got on their way. Xiao Qiangwei: so, where do we go now? Krul: I think it''s better starting with Sanguinem, let''s see what we can get there Xiao Qiangwei: ok. Before they left, Xiao Qiangwei could feel something trying to hurt him, he and Krul turned to see Horn and Chess who just attacked him without hurting him Chess: I will make you pay! Horn: I''ll kill you for revenging Crowley! then Xiao Qiangwei just snapped his fingers, and flames appeared over them, burning them to ashes Krul: well, it was fast... Xiao Qiangwei: oh right, before I forget it, even if I doubt it.... Krul: what happened? she turned her head and was shocked when she felt something in her lips, after some moments, she registered everything and seen Xiao Qiangwei bending a bit and kissed her. Krul''s entire face was red until their lips separated. Krul: W-why did you do it?! Xiao Qiangwei: You still don''t get it? I like you, just like you to me Krul: you knew?! Xiao Qiangwei: well, it was a bit obvious when I found you on my bed. Krul: b-but if we become a couple... well, our lifespans... Xiao Qiangwei: oh right, I didn''t told you about it. Krul: about what? Xiao Qiangwei: since I am so strong, my lifespan is greatly increased, I think it is around 3500, if I get to the fourth stage of Great Way of the Buddha, it will arrive to 5000. Krul: ...eh? Then... Does it mean you will stay with me for a long time? Xiao Qiangwei smiled and then caressed Krul''s head Xiao Qiangwei: all the time you wish for Krul softly smiled and then hugged Xiao Qiangwei, while they walked towards Sanguinem to prepare themselves to leave from Tokyo. 47 Epilogue [4 days later] Xiao Qiangwei and Krul were at Sanguinem, and took their things anf left from them without saying anything to anyone. [1 month later] They were right now at a beach, in the way they encountered some vampires that recognized them as traitors, but they were killed some instants later from both them. [1 year later] Xiao Qiangwei''s body started slowing down with aging, and Xiao Qiangwei and Krul started loving each others even more, they even told everything about their pasts. [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei got at the fourth stage of Great Way of the Buddha'', increasing his lifespan to 5000, and making Krul even more happy, that night, she though it was a good idea to try raping Xiao Qiangwei, but the moment she touched his private place, she was trapped from him, and started doing it in his bed. Since Vampires couldn''t get pregnant, Krul received only a boost from the Virgin Dragon Seed, that made her power escalate from 3rd Emperor Profound Realm to 8th Emperor Profound Realm. [2 years later] Right now they were traveling the Japan, they even encountered the 6th Trumphet, who was easily killed from Xiao Qiangwei, and the Horsemen of John started disappearing from the world. In the way they met with Yuu, Mika and everyone else, they were still alive and happy, they talked a bit together and then separated. Since the moment they did ''it'', they started doing it at least 3 times at week, because both of them liked it. [1 year later] the 2nd progenitor and another 3rd progenitor were in front of them, but Krul easily dispatched the 3rd while the 2nd was put on flames from Xiao Qiangwei. [20 years later] The vampires started losing ground against the humans, and were doing war, meanwhile Krul and Xiao Qiangwei were still happy together and kissed each other. [100 years later] many things changed in this time, many vampires stopped existing while around 20 or 30 were still in the world, meanwhile the humans won the war, and started repopulating the planet, but the traveling couple didn''t cared, no one knew about them anymore. [400 years later] Nothing changed, Krul and Xiao Qiangwei were having sex in their house in Russia because they liked it, sometimes they would play at some games while other times they would travel [3000 years later] The world evolved really fast, the cursed weapons became just an old legend and Krul and Xiao Qiangwei became a myth that talked about a couple of lovers from different races, they were currently in a remote island, unknown to everyone. And unlike what everyone though, vampires could age too, but slowly. Krul Tepes was a young girl with the appearance of a 18 years old, her bust got a bit bigger while her hair were smoother and still pink. While Xiao Qiangwei had the appearance of a 40 years old, Krul tried to make him a vampire but the Dragon Bloodline devoured her blood, doing nothing at him. Xiao Qiangwei even revealed her about Ten''notsumi, his demon that he contracted around 4 millenias ago. And from that moment on, it was never heard anymore about them. [last day of Xiao Qiangwei] Right now they were under the light of the moon, Krul was not crying about Xiao Qiangwei, instead, she was happy due to knowing that he would not die but just leave her, she found out about the strange condition of Xiao Qiangwei that every time he died, he would travel other realms. Obviously he didn''t tell her about forgetting memories. They lived for 5 millenias, happy every single day, and no one of the couple regretted it, right now they were hugging each other, Krul became a young woman, while Xiao Qiangwei was an old man. Krul: hey Wei, are you ready? Xiao Qiangwei: yes... my love. then Xiao Qiangwei used Hades while Krul was in flames, and died together, while Ten''notsumi gave away his Devil Origin Orb Meanwhile, in the sky, there was an illusion of Krul and Xiao Qiangwei with Yuu, Mika, Shinoa, Shiho, Yoichi and Mitsuba, walking together in the nothingless, everyone of them had the same look they had when the met the first time together, until Xiao Qiangwei disappeared from the illusion with an hapoy smile while the other illusions were waving at him with a smile too. 48 Xiao Qiangweis Character Sheet Seraph of the End @@ Surname: Xiao Name: Qiangwei Titles: The Shepherd of Humans, the 3rd Progenitor''s right hand Physical Description: Species: Human Gender: Male Lifespan: 5000 years Eye Color: Amber Hair Color: Blond Platinum Body: Dragon God''s Body Bloodline: Evil God, Primordial Azure Dragon, Golden Crow, Ice Phoenix Relationship: Krul Tepes: Lover Mikaela Hyakuya: Friend Yuichiro Hyakuya: Friend Shinoa Hiragi: Friend Yoichi Saotome: Friend Shiho Kimizuki: Friend Mitsuba Sanguu: Friend Ferid Barthori: Ex-Friend Crowley Eusford: Ex-Friend Horn Skuld: Ex-Friend Chess Belle: Ex-Friend Guren Ichinose: Acquaintance Relatives: None Children: None Parents: Xiao Lie(father) Xiao Xue(mother) Grandparents: Deceased Uncles: None Masters: (imaginary one) Allies: Vampires(former), JIDA(former), Krul Tepes Enemies: Vampires, JIDA Profound Strength: 4th Tyrant Profound Realm Combat Prowess: Half Step Divine Origin Realm Legacy: Evil God Legacy, Golden Crow Legacy, Rage God Legacy, Dragon God Legacy, Ancestral God Legacy, Ice Phoenix Legacy, True Devil Legacy Cursed Gear: Ten''notsumi Rank: Black Demon Series Occupation: Servant(former), Soldier(former), Special Private(former), none Affiliations: Japan Origin: Planet: Earth Continent: Asia Nation: China Bonus: Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night, Devil Origin Orb.@@ 49 A Surprising Meeting and Third Rebirth Xiao Qiangwei felt again that familiar feeling and opened his eyes, to find for the third time, the blank world where his boss was, after turning his head, he found God sitting in a chair and a shelf near him with a crystal ball, where his old memories should be. Xiao Qiangwei: hello there. God: General Kenobi. Xiao Qiangwei: what? God: nothing, just a little reference... So, welcome again to my ''Office'', did you like the life in this world? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, thank you for giving me the chance to live it... I am ready to lose the memories about it. God: before that, I have a surprise for you... Xiao Qiangwei: what are you talking about? God: I am in a really good mood, so I give you another privilege when you come to my Realm. Then he snapped his fingers and 5 girls appeared, when the girls seen Xiao Qiangwei, they were happy like a child who received full points on the exam and hugged him. This act surprised Xiao Qiangwei, because he never met them from his memories, but God gave him the crystal ball, and Xiao Qiangwei suddenly remembered everything, and looked at the girls with shock. Xiao Qiangwei: Yin, Cecilia, Charlotte, Laura and Chifuyu?! The girls: finally you remembered us! Lingyin: but surely it was a surprise when we met God, and told us about your situation... Charlotte: But we aren''t angry about it, it was normal, who would believe about a story of God who reincarnated an ex-god in other realms.. Laura: Husband, why are you crying? indeed, Xiao Qiangwei was crying from the meeting and the memories he just got temporarily back. Xiao Qiangwei: girls... I really missed you... and then returned the hug to them. God: awww... That''s sweet, but it doesn''t end here. Everyone: eh? then God snapped his fingers again and Krul appeared beside him, who looked around before noticing Xiao Qiangwei surrounded from 5 other girls. Xiao Qiangwei: Krul?! You are there too?! Krul: eh? What happened? Who are those girls hugging you? God: Calm down a bit, this is my realm, where I send Xiao Qiangwei in other realms, and those girls, are his lovers from the other lifes he lived. Krul: eh? So... Wei, is that really you? Xiao Qiangwei: do you know someone else like me? Krul started smiling and rushed to hug him too Xiao Qiangwei: Hey God, I can''t thank you enough.. God: yeah yeah, now do your things, I don''t have all the time of the world. Everyone nodded at him and started talking. Krul: hey Wei, you never told me about your girls in your past life. Xiao Qiangwei: it is because of a contract with God, when I am in a different realm from this, I will remember only my very first life, I didn''t tell you because I didn''t wanted to make you sad. Chifuyu: Qiangwei, can you introduce us this girl to us? Xiao Qiangwei: oh right, girls, she is Krul Tepes, the 3rd Progenitor of the vampire race, and she is older than all of our lives put together. IS girls: Eh?! For real? Krul: yes, like he said, I am the oldest here, with over 5000 years of life IS girls: wow... Xiao Qiangwei: well, Krul, they are the wifes of my second life and all of them are humans. Huang Lingyin... Lingyin: hello! Xiao Qiangwei: Cecilia Alcott.. Cecilia: hello. Xiao Qiangwei: Charlotte Dunois... Charlotte Dunois: hi! Xiao Qiangwei: Laura Bodewig... Laura: hello senior. Krul: senior? Laura: well, you are older than all of us, so it''s right to call you senior. Xiao Qiangwei: and Chifuyu Orimura... Chifuyu: Nice to meet you, Krul. Krul: mh, me too, Chifuyu. Then there was silence, because they didn''t have anything to talk about anymore. Xiao Qiangwei: well, there''s nothing else, right? Everyone: mh. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, God, we have done here. God: mh, now say bye to each other, in future I will make you all meet again. Xiao Qiangwei: mh, bye girls! Everyone: Bye Qiangwei!/Wei! then God snapped his fingers again and the girls disappeared. God: ok, now come here, I need to take out your memories. Xiao Qiangwei: mh. Then he bowed and God placed a palm over his head, then made a grabbing gestures, and retracted, showing a crystal ball floating over his palm. God: ok, I finished, now I will say something about this situation. Xiao Qiangwei: yes? God: Since you have gained two things regarding your cultivations, they will remain with you even in the future, namely the Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night, and the Devil Origin Orb. Xiao Qiangwei: yes! God: I like your enthusiasm, but now you will leave for a new realm. Xiao Qiangwei: mh, any informations? God: yes, this realm is another Lower Realm, and in future you will receive a custom item for the third life. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, we can even start. God: mh, just close your eyes... Xiao Qiangwei did as he said and closed them, when he opened them again, he felt smaller and was in a completely dark place, he was floating in the mid of nothingless. Xiao Qiangwei: ''This will be my new start!'' 50 Half Orphan. [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei found out that he was in a womb, obviously of his mother, and got a summary of the world, in this world there were beings called Blazers, who have magical powers and things called Noble Arts. He found out about Desperados, beings that are between the borderline of Human and Demon, probably he would be classified as a Desperado thanks to his legacies and the Devil Origin Orb, that was slowly merging with his Divine Veins since he litterally got it in less than 2 months ago. While he was inside, he could already feel a big energy that was merging with his veins, and right now, his realm reached the 10th Elementary Profound Realm, outside, he could feel enough energy to make him a Overlord. Xiao Qiangwei though even about a theory for the realms, the Lower realms would let only realms from Elementary Profound Realm to Sovereign Profound Realm, while the Medium Realm would let the Seven Divine Realms, and if he isn''t wrong, then the Higher Realms would let him be a True God. And now he felt a sudden push, telling him that he was coming in the world, with a new family. [later] The doctors took him at her mother when they cleaned his body, she hugged him and looked at his eyes with the sweetest smile he could remember, there was no one else, either meaning that he has no father, or he was late, Xiao Qiangwei sincerely hoped that it was the latter. But he didn''t came. Mother: Hey son, I am your new mom, and I will name you¡­ Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Why do I feel a Deja Vu about this situation?'' [3 years later] Xiao Qiangwei listened to everyone and looked everywhere, and found many informations. He''s in Japan, while his mother is Chinese, his father was dead 3 months ago from an incident. It seemed that his father was famous for being one of the strongest weapon master in the world, he could beat even the A-class Blazers with just a normal kitchen knife. But Xiao Qiangwei though that the incident was planified from someone. His current family was normal, they weren''t known to anyone, and this worked in his advantage, when he was born. He cultivated and now he was at the 7th Nascent Profound Realm, his Dragon Bloodline was at 30%, and his Devil Origin Orb completely fused with his Divine Veins, giving him a boost in his killing intent, and making him access to a True Devil''s Dark Profound Energy, that was on par with the Golden Crow''s Flames and the Ice Phoenix''s ice When her mother found out about his strength, which surprisingly she and everyone else could sense to a certain point, he made a test and was ranked like this: Physical: C Luck: B Offense: C Defense: D Magic Capacity: C Magic Control: B based on the government, he was ranked as an C-Rank. He didn''t know how strong is an A-Rank, but he was curious. [2 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the kindergarten now, he became a bit famous due to him being strong and one of the few to materialize a Device from such low age, from the informations he gathered, a Device was a weapon that was part one''s soul, and the shape his device gained was like he wished. A pair of dragon-like silver claws, they were the same he had in his first life, each claw covered the entirety of his fingers with a warm sensation, and they were 10 cm long for each finger. His cultivation arrived to the 8th True Profound Realm, but no one knew about his current power, everyone still though he was a C-rank Blazer. His Dragon Bloodline was at 50% now, increasing greatly his physical strength. While he was in the kindergarten, he didn''t made many friends, because they were scared of his strength, while the others became acquaintances with him, sometimes there was a bully but Xiao Qiangwei would kick his ass. [5 years later] Xiao Qiangwei grew much in these years, both in looks and in strength, he was a cute child with blonde platinum hair that extended to his neck, he had a pair of big amber eyes, and had a bit muscular body, even if the clothes don''t show it, and right now he had 10 years His Profound Strength is at 9th Earth Profound Realm, while his Dragon Bloodline achieved the 100%, and he started cultivating the Great Way of the Buddha, that was at the first stage, and his Combat Prowess was at the latter stage of the Sky Profound Realm. During his life, he could make calculations and comparisons of strength between here and his Realms: F-Rank=Late Nascent Profound Realm E-Rank=Middle True Profound Realm D-Rank= Early Spirit Profound Realm C-Rank=Late Spirit Profound Realm B-Rank= Middle Earth Profound Realm A-Rank=Sky Profound Realm and beyond Xiao Qiangwei was happy due to him being so strong, even if others didn''t know it, but he didn''t care, if he would be classified right now, every single of his stats would be either B or A, making him an B-Rank Blazer. Right now he was in a normal school, listening to a history lesson, his mother was really happy with him about everything, but sometimes she would secretly go in a graveyard to cry over his husband''s grave, while talking about Xiao Qiangwei, he knew about it because sometimes he would sense her leaving and followed her. Looking at her like that would break Xiao Qiangwei''s heart, and promised that he would kill whoever killed his father and hid it as an incident. He didn''t made any good friend, because while he was in a really bad mood, he would unconsciously release a little fraction of the power of the Devil Origin Orb, making the area around him gloomy. Xiao Qiangwei even mastered the Profound Arts he possesed, except for their domains, that requires an Emperor Profound''s strength. 51 Hagun Accademy [5 years late] Xiao Qiangwei was in front of his new school, it was called Hagun Academy, and didn''t have any intuition fees or any kinds of expenses, making it a good academy, but the special thing about it was that it was made for Blazers like him. His cultivation realm reached the 10th Emperor Profound Realm, while his Great Way of the Buddha was at the third stage, he got in the second when he was 12 years and half, giving him an arm strength of 10 Tons. (You know what''s funny? Killua from HxH is around 12 years and has 62 Tons of arm strength¡­) Xiao Qiangwei already mastered the use of the Devil Origin Orb and his three Profound Arts: The Ice Phoenix''s Investiture Canon, the Golden Crow''s Record of the Burning World, and the Ilusion Devil Tome of Eternal Night. About his personal Three Steps to the Throne, he needed to be an Overlord to use the ''Third Step''. Now he entered the school, before, he made another test for his rank in the academy, and holded back only by a bit, but he was classified directly to A-rank. with the exception of Luck, which was still B. [1 month later] The school was going really nice, there was someone overconfident in their abilities but he let them alone, until there was someone with a pair of claws who though he was superior to Xiao Qiangwei in their use, and challenged him to a fight, without knowing anything of him. The fight was concluded in the span of 10 seconds, and in 9 of them, Xiao Qiangwei just walked towards his enemy, and at the last one, he pierced his heart while using the device in ''Illusionary Form'', that was really useful in fights, se he could go a bit rough against his enemies. The sudents ironically nicknamed him ''Evil God'', due to his behavior in fights, and how strong he was. When he heard about the title, he started laughing at it. His cultivation was nearing the Tyrant Profound Realm. [1 week later] He was outside the academy to meditate in a small forest, it was early morning, and right at that moment, he broke through the realm and officially entered the Tyrant Profound Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Finally, I can use again the World Eating Flames! ''Checking the energy... I would say I can reach the 7th Tyrant Profound Realm before stopping... In 2 years I could reach it...'' Right now he was walking back in his room, to make a shower, while he was walking inside the academy, he was greeted from some people and teachers and heard some rumors about a famous transfer student. When he got in front of his door, he felt something wrong and used his Profound Energy, and indeed found someone inside, but he didn''t care and opened the door, thinking it was a teacher or a staff member. But he was incredibly surprised when he found a beauty that would rival the Little Demon Empress from his past life, she was a young woman of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, and ruby eyes. She has long crimson hair tied into twin tails. And had large breasts and a voluptuous figure. She was currently in her black underwear, and was shocked when she heard someone enter, and found an handsome white haired young man with piercing amber eyes, but it was betrayed from his blush Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I am going to get my beer, you can continue to do your things... the girl just stood there watching him walking towards a refrigerator and taking a can of beer she didn''t knew there was, and walked towards the main door, but before he could touch the handle, she started screaming, annoying him a bit. Xiao Qiangwei: Shut the fuck up for a moment, it''s still morning! [later] they were in front of the academy director, who had an annoyed face. Kurono Shinguuji: What happened? Xiao Qiangwei: Why was she in my room? Stella Vermillion: your room? That''s my room! Kurono: Shut the fuck up for a moment, it''s still morning! Xiao Qiangwei: Funny, I said the same thing before... So... Nice to meet you, I am Xiao Qiangwei. Stella: *Sigh* Well, I can at least answer the greeting... I am Stella Vermillion, the second imperial Princess of the Vermillion Kingdom Xiao Qiangwei: ok... I am sorry I entered the room without knocking even if I knew someone was inside, I though it was a staff member instead of you. Stella: Mh, I will accept your apology only if you kneel in front of me and ask for forgiveness. Xiao Qiangwei: Then you can even go fuck yourself. Stella: What?! How dare you to talk to me like that?! I will give you a last chance, either you give me a limb of yours, or I will take it myself! Serve me! Laevateinn! Then she made appear a greatsword. Kurono: Oh, so that''s Vermillion''s Device. Her capacity is that of talent coming only once every ten years... But it isn''t enough... Then Stella rushed at Xiao Qiangwei, but he just dodged towards left, then Stella made another slash, but she missed him anyway, it continued like this until she was tired. Xiao Qiangwei: Are you done? Stella: Stop dodging! Xiao Qiangwei: Why should I? Just because I seen a beauty like you with underwear in my room, it doesn''t mean I should obey to every single thing you say. Stella: Eh?! B-Beauty... Me? Xiao Qiangwei: Yep, but now I want some explanations¡­ Stella: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: Oi, Director, what''s the story of she being in my room? Kurono: Calm down Qiangwei, don''t hurt anyone, please? Xiao Qiangwei: Just start talking! Kurono: ok¡­ There weren''t anymore free rooms, so since yours was the only free one, I placed her in your room¡­ So you are roommates Stella: EHHH?! Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* and what did you smoke to have the idea to put a boy and a girl in the same room? Kurono: just normal tabacco, ''Evil God''... Stella: Eh? ''Evil God''? What does she mean? Xiao Qiangwei: it will be for another time¡­ So, start talking¡­ Why did you do it? Kurono: Haaah¡­ In these past few years, there has been nothing good with our school compared to the other schools. The festival held jointly by the seven schools once every year, in order to decide the strongest student knight¡­ The ''Seven Stars Sword Art Festival''. Even there, we''re on a losing streak. I planned to put people with the closest level of ability together, but there weren''t any other students with rank A like you, and you are even a special case in the rank mentioned, but when Stella transfered here, it was a good chance. Stella: you are an A-Rank?! Xiao Qiangwei: And you found out about it only now? Stella blushed from embarassment when she started thinking about the little fight they had before, and at the stupid question. But then she got a serious face. Stella: Then we need to set some rules. Xiao Qiangwei: depends on which are they... Stella: rule n.1, don''t talk to me, rule n.2, don''t look at me in any shape or form, rule n.3, don''t breathe in the room. Xiao Qiangwei: rule n.4, the previous mentioned rules are nullified. Stella: What?! No! You will probably lust after my body like a dog! Xiao Qiangwei: Holy mother of Jesus... Can we stop this shit?! Kurono: Right... Then let''s do a mock battle, and whoever wins will decide the rules of the room. Xiao Qiangwei/Stella: Yes.../ Yes then both of them left the director''s office. Kurono: Haah¡­ well, time to prepare another bed in the infirmary for Vermillion... 52 One Sided Figh [later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking in his room before his neighbor opened the door, the rooms were in a dorm, so it was obvious that there were nearby rooms. From that door he found a friend and a petite young girl. She has with argent short hair, with bangs covers all of her foreheads and had black headband, with flowers on the side of the headband. She was talking to Xiao Qiangwei''s friend, a young man of average height with dark brown hair and brown eyes. he had a thin but well-built, toned body and a cute face from the point of view of many girls. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, hey Ikki! Ikki: Qiangwei? Oh, good morning. Xiao Qiangwei met with him at his first day, he was searching his room and he helped him finding it, then they became friends because they were really near, one day they even secretly fought, but Xiao Qiangwei won, even if he was surprised from the sudden power up of Ikki. But even in that state, he was too slow for Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei and Ikki were admiring a bit each other, Ikki because Xiao Qiangwei was the strongest man he even encountered, and a new target to overcome. While Xiao Qiangwei because Ikki''s behavior was really noble, even being insulted as the weakest, while his capabilities were enough to make him an A-rank Blazer, he didn''t do nothing and Always tried his best everyday. The little girl hugged Ikki and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with a frown. ?: Hey Ikki, who is he? Ikki: Oh, he is my friend Xiao Qiangwei, right now he is the strongest blazer in the academy, Qiangwei, she is my little sister Shizuku, she came from my household, you can calm down Shizuku, he isn''t like other people. Shizuku: mh¡­ Nice to meet you¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: if you don''t like me it''s ok, we can be friends another time. Ikki: Oh right, what happened before, there was a feminine scream from your room. Xiao Qiangwei: she is my new roommate, I just hope she doesn''t touch my beer¡­ Ikki: you are still drinking? Xiao Qiangwei: yep, and I am not going to give you even a can of beer, no matter what. Ikki: It''s ok, I don''t drink... Xiao Qiangwei: good, well, I need to prepare for a fight, see ya later. Ikki: Who is the unfortunate? Xiao Qiangwei: my roommate. Bye Then they separated and walked to their ways. [later] Both Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were in the arena, looking at each other''s eyes. Kurono: We''ll be starting the mock battle. Both sides, expand your devices into ''Illusion Form'' Stella: Serve me, Laevteinn! Then the familiar scarlet greatsword was materialized in Stella''s hands and released really hot flames. Xiao Qiangwei: Punish, Divina Virtute... (Divine Power) In this moment, a pair of metal grey dragon claws appeared in Xiao Qiangwei''s arms, it didn''t have any special effect like the flames of Laevteinn, but just looking at them, it made everyone''s back shiver. Stella: Here I come! Haaaah!!! Xiao Qiangwei just stood there and raised a claw and blocked her sword, under his feet a big crater was created, but he was unharmed. Stella: Tsk... then she continued to slash at him, but he just paired the sword with his left claw while the other was in his back. meanwhile at the spectator seats, Ikki and his sister Shizuku were watching the fight, Ikki was smirking while Shizuku was in shock at how a famous A-Rank Blazer was blocked that easily Ikki: She lost... Shizuku: What do you mean? Ikki: one does not simply singlehandledy take down the strongest with just strength, I even fought against him, and he was untouchable... Shizuku: If you use Ittoshura you can surely beat him! Ikki: I already did that, I increased my capabilities to my limit... But he didn''t even take me seriously... Shizuku had wide eyes from that news, and then looked back at the fight while hugging Ikki. meanwhile at the fight... Stella: Take me seriously!! Xiao Qiangwei: Why should I? Stella then got enraged and backed away Stella: Pierce through the blue sky, flame of purgatory! Heaven and Earth Scorching Dragon King''s Flame "Calsalitio Salamandra", HAAAAAH!!! ''I will beat you!'' Then she transformed Laevtainn into a sword made of pure heat without physical body, and attacked Xiao Qiangwei, covering his existence with flames. after a minute, the attack stopped, and instead of revealing a defeated Xiao Qiangwei, he stood in his feet, with a blank face, even his clothes were unharmed, shocking everyone. Stella: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! Xiao Qiangwei: Is that all? Then I will just defeat you... he just took a step forward, and was immediately in front of Stella, and pierced her stomach with the claws, fortunately they were in ''Illusion Form'', otherwise she would be dead, but she just got unconscious. Kurono: Stella Vermillion is unconscious, Xiao Qiangwei won! [night] Xiao Qiangwei was drinking a can of beer in front of the window, watching the moon, until he heard some noises coming from the bed, he turned and found Stella that just woke up. Xiao Qiangwei: Good morning. Stella: mh? Is this the dorm room? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, you fell unconscious after the fight and I carried you here. Stella: EH?! You didn''t do nothing to me, right?! Xiao Qiangwei: As much as you are beautiful to me, I am not a pervert, so stop those thoughs and relax... Stella blushed and then looked away, but then she asked. Stella: Hey Xiao, why do everyone call you ''Evil God''? Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* It''s because I am too strong, and every single opponent was defeated in one simple hit. Stella: oh... How did you reached this level of power? Xiao Qiangwei: with willpower, and really hard work... And for revenge... Stella: Revenge? Xiao Qiangwei: You don''t need to know... Well, I am going to sleep... It''s night. Then Xiao Qiangwei took off his shirt, standing half naked, Stella''s entire face became red at the sight but couldn''t look away from his well-built body. Stella: W-W-What are you doing?! Xiao Qiangwei: I sleep like this, so don''t annoy me... Xiao Qiangwei got in his bed and started sleeping but Stella continued to observe his body, until she started running her mind over a certain though, and some blood got out from her nose, she stood there for some minutes until she realized what she was doing and got in her bed while murmuring until she slept. Stella: Stop with the though¡­ Stop with the though... 53 The Strongest and The Weakest in One Person [Tomorrow morning] Xiao Qiangwei woke up, and looked at Stella, who was moving too much in her bed while saying things like "Stop it" or "not here" until she woke up abruptly with a blush in her face, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was watching everything with a raised eyebrow, but he just got up and left for the bathroom. Stella watched his expression and got extremely embarassed. [later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were in front of each other, while Xiao Qiangwei had a can of beer in his hand. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, since I won, I will decide the rules. Stella: ok, I am listening. Xiao Qiangwei: The first and only rule, that should never be broken is¡­ Don''t touch my Beer. Stella: Eh? Just that? Xiao Qiangwei: They''re mine, and unless I give you permission, you can''t touch them. Now, since we finished, I will go to train, see ya later. Stella smiled and waved at him. [Stella Pov] Some minutes later Qiangwei left, the door opened and the Director entered Kurono: Good morning Vermillion. Stella: Good morning Ms. Director. Kurono: How do you feel today? Stella: I am good, thanks for asking, hey Ms. Director, can you tell me something about Xiao-san? Kurono: Why not? What do you want to know? If you want I can even check and tell you his size. Stella: N-N-NO! Not that! I just wanted to know a bit of his personal life¡­ I am a bit curious about what made him so strong. Kurono: *Sigh* Well, that''s a mystery, since the only thing I know that would make him like he is right now is his father''s Death. Stella: What do you mean? Kurono: His father was Xiao Fengyan, the strongest weapon master of the previous generation. Stella: For real?! Kurono: Yes, it was said that he died from an incident, but Qiangwei was an intelligent boy even at the kindergarten, he may already know that it was someone that killed him and masked it as an incident. Stella: Mh, so... who killed him? Kurono: I will say it only once, but you can''t say anything to Qiangwei... Otherwise he would do anything to find them and start a massacre... Stella: What makes you think he would do it? Kurono: His power is inconcepible right now, and if he really goes all out, there will be nothing to stop him, and the most shocking part is that he shown signs to get even stronger. When I asked him why he was doing all this he said... [Flashback] Xiao Qiangwei was in front of the Director who was waiting for an answer, and told her Xiao Qiangwei: I loved my mother, she is the only thing that I have, without her I would not even exist, she was always smiling to me, but she hid all those tears for my dead father that I never met... My family was a bit poor, we had enough to feed ourselves and pay for the school tuition, but I don''t care about that. I was always lonely in school, no one would get near me, everyone though I was dangerous, but I don''t care about that. But I don''t want to see her sad anymore, it breaks my heart knowing that just for some tantrums of someone, my father is dead and my mother would cry everytime at his grave. Even if I would be hated from everyone, even if the Creator himself tells me to stop, even if I die, I would at least take the killer and his comrades down with me in the deepest flames of Hell, otherwise I would throw away my surname Xiao in shame, for not even being capable to do something like this... [back] Stella was shocked and had her hands covering her mouth, while Kurono was looking down. Stella: So... Who did it? Kurono: Haaah... It was Rebellion... Because Xiao Fengyan was against their ideas to kill everyone that isn''t a Blazer. Listen, Qiangwei may be the strongest, but he is even the weakest, the moment something happens to her mother, I am sure that he will break... So please, protect him... Stella got a resolute look and nodded. Kurono: Then... Do you want to start a tour around the academy? Right now Qiangwei should be training away from here, so he will not return for 5 hours at least. Stella: Mh... then they got up and left the room while Stella was thinking about her new roommate situation. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was back in his room, and was doing a shower, later, when he finished, he was changing his clothes near the bed, until Stella entered the room and seen Xiao Qiangwei that was only in his boxers, showing his perfect body to her, and a trail of blood fell from her nose. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Mh, Deja Vu...'' He didn''t care and continued to put clothes, while Stella stood in silence and walked in the bathroom with a red face. Later Xiao Qiangwei was in the bed watching the TV with a can of beer in his hand, while Stella was in her bed watching too the TV, but got a red face and avoided looking at Xiao Qiangwei, he noticed this and leaned his beer in a table near him and sighed. Xiao Qiangwei: Look, I don''t care if you see me naked, so what happened before was nothing for me, at least let''s become friends since we are roommates. Stella slowly lifted her head and looked at him, and nodded. Stella: Ok... Then Xiao Qiangwei lifted his hand towards her Xiao Qiangwei: Well then, let''s start from the beggining. My name is Qiangwei, Xiao Qiangwei, and I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Stella smiled and and grabbed his hand with hers and shook. Stella: My name is Stella, Stella Vermillion, and I hope we can be good friends. Xiao Qiangwei sweetly smiled at her and said Xiao Qiangwei: See? It isn''t hard. Stella: ''How can someone so sweet and strong... Be as fragile as Ms. Director said?'' 54 Skill canst beat too much Power [2 days later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were in class right now since school started again. Right now their teacher entered the room Yuuri: hello again guys, I heard that there is a new transfer student in my class. Then Stella stood up and walked near the teacher and turned towards everyone Stella: Hello, I am Stella Vermillion, an A-Rank Blazer, and I am pleased to make your acquaintances, I hope you take care of me from now on. Yuuri: Good, Good. I am the adviser for the 1st year class 1. Oreki Yuuri. But I would be hapoy if you call me Yuri-chan, okay? Stella: ...Eh? O-okay... Then she turned back at her seat with a dumbfounded face. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok Stella, she may be... Eccentric, but she is a good teacher. Yuuri: Today, I''ll first tell you some things about the incoming ''Seven Stars Sword Art Festival'', where the strongest student knight in Japan is chosen. Our school will br abolishing the system of partecipant selection through ''Ability Points''. And will hold a ''Combat Selection with all the students participating'' and then will choose the top six students as participants. And then, can everyone put their student handbooks out? Everyone did as she said and took out their student handbooks Yuuri: The date and time of your selection matches will be sent there through mail. That''s why you have to make sure you read it and go to the designated time and place. Or else it will be treated as a default loss, so be careful! Well, just think that there will be a match for everyone once every 3 days. So then, let''s all give our very best this whole year! Hurray!... Hurra- Then she puked blood in the desk while smiling, scaring everyone in the class. Everyone: Y-YURI-CHAAAAN! Stella: AHHH! Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* It''s ok Stella, she had a weak constitution since childhood, for this she is puking blood now... Stella: E-eh? Then Ikki got up and offered to take her to the infirmary, while the class accepted. Ikki: See ya later Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: bye Ikki. Stella: who is he? Xiao Qiangwei: he''s a friend I made at the first day, even if he is classified as the weakest in the school, don''t underestimate his real power, he could even beat you if given enough time in a spar. Stella: Eh? Is that true? So, who would win in a fight between you two? Xiao Qiangwei: Obviously me, there aren''t things that could be defeated with just skill alone. Stella: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: Try to think about 2 cars of the same size going towards each other, what would happen if they crash in an one-way road? Stella: well, both of them would stop... Xiao Qiangwei: yes, but if one of the two cars would crash at the side of the other, then the latter would move away while the former would stop, now swap the former car with the skill and the latter with power. Stella: mh. Xiao Qiangwei: now, swap the second car with a truck, and try to image the same thing, what would happen? Stella: the car couldn''t stop the truck while the latter would just move forward. Xiao Qiangwei: Exactly, because the ''Power'' is too big to be moved from ''Skill''. Even in our fight, you used your Skill, but my power was too big for you to overcome. Stella: Ohhh... Got it. Then they left the class. [later] They were in their room now, Xiao Qiangwei was writing a letter while Stella just got out from the shower with a bathrobe, she noticed Xiao Qiangwei doing something and asked Stella: What are you doing? Xiao Qiangwei: I am writing a letter for my mom. Stella: you can send letters in school? Xiao Qiangwei: No, but with a certain trick I could do it... Done! Stella: then how are you going to send it? Xiao Qiangwei smiled and raised a finger horizontally and he created a little ice bird that stood over his finger with his little legs, suddenly it seemed that the sculpture became alive and started moving his wings. Stella: That... That''s so cute! So your Noble Art is using ice? Xiao Qiangwei: ''Well, there''s nothing wrong on telling her...'' My Noble Art is more than that, look. Then the ice bird became a smaller version of the Golden Crow, and was emitting golden flames. Xiao Qiangwei: My Noble Art is ''Elemental Domination'', it permits me to use any elements as I wish and being immune to it, this was why even my clothes weren''t burned in your flames in the fight. Stella: Whoa... Then... I never had a chance, right? Xiao Qiangwei: well, I lie only when it''s necessary, so... Yeah, you didn''t have any chance to win. Stella: At least be gentle while telling it... Still, you really love your mother. Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I always wish the best for her... [flashback of Stella] Xiao Qiangwei: I loved my mother, she is the only thing that I have, without her I would not even exist, she was always smiling to me, but she hid all those tears for my dead father that I never met... [Present] Stella got a smile and hugged him, surprising him. Stella: She is a really good woman then, if you like her so much. Xiao Qiangwei: Stella? I have two things to say... Stella: Yes? Xiao Qiangwei: First, did Ms. Kurono told you about my family? Stella: E-Eh?... Yes... She told me... And what''s the second? Xiao Qiangwei: Did you forget that you are almost naked? Stella raised an eyebrow and looked down, and indeed she had only a bathrobe, she started blushing from embarassment and got a bit angry. Stella: Y-y-you pervert! then she slapped his face, and a yelp of pain was heard in the area. Stella''s hand was red, and she started caressing it while releasing some tears, while Xiao Qiangwei didn''t have any sign of injury. Stella: What is your body made of?! Xiao Qiangwei: That''s what I am, and it isn''t my fault that you forgot to dress yourself. Stella: True... Then Xiao Qiangwei created again his ice bird and gave him the letter, and sent it away. Then he got up and walked outside. Xiao Qiangwei: Tell me when you dressed up. Stella: Ok... 55 Merciless [mother''s pov] I was waiting in my sofa and an open window for the letter my son should send today, since he entered the academy for Blazers, every Monday he would send me an ice bird with a letter to me, I still wonder how he could make a sculpture alive, but it is soooo cute! Oh, here it is, the ice bird came from the window I left opened and I extended my index finger, and the bird landed over it with the letter in its beak. When i took the letter, the bird jumped in my shoulder and rubbed it''s head on my cheek, even if it was made of pure ice, it released a warm feeling to me, maybe it is because it was made from my own son, or he did something to it. Then the bird evaporated, it shouldn''t be possible, because it should melt before evaporating, but my son somehow could do it, it is incredible how he could think at such things. Then I opened the letter and started reading. "Dear Mom, Hello Mom, how''s going the week? Mine was pretty good, I even got a new roommate, even if she''s a girl, she is incredibly beautiful, she has long scarlet hair, and pretty big red eyes, her body was in a good size, and has my same age, she''s called Stella Vermillion. Maybe you know her from the news of her being the princess of the Vermillion Kingdom, but she''s being a bit friendly now. Well, let''s say that we met in ''special'' circumstances. I didn''t know nothing about her entering the school as a transfer student, she didn''t know nothing about having a roommate, and I entered the room while she was getting dressed up. Later we fought and I won, and from now on we forgot about the incident and became friends. Soon I will join the Seven Star Sword Art Festival, and¡­ There''s nothing else to say, bye Mom. From Xiao Qiangwei, your son." When I finished to read the letter, I started laughing till tears came out, because my son wasn''t a pervert like many mens outside the world, and probably he just walked inside while picking a can of beer, and then left the girl alone. [Xiao Qiangwei''s room] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were watching the TV, when he suddenly sneezed. Stella: Bless you. Xiao Qiangwei: ''How the fuck did I catched a cold?!'' Thanks. [mother pov] Well, I just hope that my son could win, and stop with his revenge¡­ I already knew about it, and I know already who killed my husband, but I am afraid about what would happen to my son Qiangwei, I don''t want him to be a killer, and I don''t want him to be killed¡­ So I didn''t said nothing to him. *Groowl* Well, time to start eating something¡­ Mother: What should I do... Well, let''s just order a pizza... [4 days later/Xiao Qiangwei''s side] Ikki was knocking at his door with his sister behind him, and Xiao Qiangwei opened the door while drinking beer. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, do you need anything? Ikki: Well, my sister wanted to take me to see a movie, so I though if you would like to come with us. Xiao Qiangwei then turned towards his room. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Stella, do you want to come with me, Ikki and his sister to watch a movie? Stella: Mh? Sure, I don''t know the place really well, so it is a good possibility to know more about it. Xiao Qiangwei then turned to Ikki Xiao Qiangwei: We will come. Ikki: Fantastic! Well, we will see each other in 3 hours then, bye Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: See ya later Ikki. Then he closed his door, and turned to Stella Xiao Qiangwei: Well, you heard him, in 3 hours we will leave, prepare yourself. Stella: Ok, I take the bathroom now, you will enter after me. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh. Then she entered the bathroom while Xiao Qiangwei prepared his clothes over his bed. [3 hours later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were waiting at the gates of the academy for Ikki and Shizuku, who came well dressed, while Shizuku looked like a doll. Stella: Ohhh, you are so cute!! Then she hugged Shizuku who had an arkward expression over her face and a bit jealous due to Stella''s size. Ikki: Are you guys ready? Stella/Xiao Qiangwei: Yes! Then Shizuku and Ikki grabbed each other''s hand while Stella was watching Xiao Qiangwei''s hand, then she was filled with determination and tried to grab his hand while blushing a bit, but Xiao Qiangwei unconsciously grabbed her hand and walked with the rest of the group at their destination, while Stella was embarassed. [later] They were in a table to eat a crepe, Xiao Qiangwei and Ikki just eaten normally, while Stella and Shizuku were entranced from its taste. Ikki: Hey Shizuku. Shizuya: Yes? Ikki: You got cream on your face. You have to watch out, it''ll ruin the beautiful looks. Then he rubbed the dirty place on Shizuku''s face and eaten the cream, making her blush and hide behind Xiao Qiangwei, who got a frown. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey girl, it isn''t the end of the world if he cleans your face, you don''t need to hide from him as if he was a disease. Shizuku: You just shut up! Then she got back at her seat while avoiding to glance at Ikki. [later] The group was walking in the higher floors to see the movie. Shizuku: It''s almost time. So let''s head up to the theater on the fourth floor. Ikki: Sorry Shizuku, I gotta go to the washroom first. Could you buy my ticket for me? Xiao Qiangwei: I need to go too, see you later girls. Then Ikki and Xiao Qiangwei walked towards the bathroom [later] They got out from the toilet after taking a piss and were leaving from the bathroom, suddenly Xiao Qiangwei was in front of Ikki and many gunshots rang from the door, destroying it. Meanwhile Ikki was watching Xiao Qiangwei getting shot repeatedly in his back, he was worried first, but Xiao Qiangwei was unharmed from them, when the gunshots stopped, Xiao Qiangwei turned and used his just materialized claws to kill the terrorist in a swing. Two terrorists fell to the ground and a big puddle of blood extended under them, Ikki had an hand over his mouth from the shock and glanced at Xiao Qiangwei with rage Ikki: What''s wrong with you?! Xiao Qiangwei: What? Are you worried for your almost-being killers? I just killed them. Ikki: Just killed them?! You could just make them unconscious! Xiao Qiangwei: You think that the world is a good place? They could have already killed, raped, and looted from many people. Ikki: And if they didn''t?! Xiao Qiangwei: Then I just saved the life of many innocent people, since they even tried to kill you. I work like this, if someone wants me dead, I will decide what do to with them, if either giving them mercy or death. Ikki: You¡­ You don''t care about their lifes? Xiao Qiangwei: I care only about the people important to me, I don''t have time to think about the others, if someone was raping another stranger in front of me, I would try to do something, but only to save the victim, not the rapist. I already tried giving mercy to a killer¡­ And I almost fucked up later. Now let''s go, if there are terrorists here, then it''s certain that there are more that want to make a mess in other places. Ikki took a deep breath before looking at the dead bodies, then he though about his sister that might be in danger and got a resolute look, then nodded and followed Xiao Qiangwei 56 Illusory Realm Domain: Red Butterfly [later] After Xiao Qiangwei burned the bodies to nothingless, much to Ikki''s displeasure, they were watching the terrorists grouped around the civilians some floors under them, they even noticed Stella, who was hiding her face from the cameras that were around and taking the video in TV, and Shizuku. And then they received a message from their notebook, which gave them the approval to use their abilities. Xiao Qiangwei was thinking on a plan to end this mess fast, but was distracted from a kid who threw an ice cream to a terrorist and yelled. Kid: Don''t you touch my mom! Terrorist: Fuckin''... Brat! then he kicked the kid to his sides making him fly for 2 meters away mother: SHINJI!! then she got in front of her son mother: P-please¡­ I''m sorry, he''s just a child! Please, I''m so- she was interrupted when the gun of the terrorist was in front of her forehead Terrorist: What, you think you being sorry let''s you off the hook? A pig like you, soilin'' the clothes of an ''Honorary Citizen'' of the coming ''New World''... How ''bout you repent with death! then he shot but the bulled was reduced in ashes from Stella Terrorist: What the¡­ A Blazer?! then everyone else shot at her, but she used the flames to protect herself Terrorists: The guns don''t work!/What the hell?! then the hostages screamed and runned behind her Stella: Everyone calm down! *silence* Stella: I just want to negotiate with your leader. ?: My, my, my. It looks like we have one hell of a VIP mixed in here. Her highness, second princess to the throne of Vermillion¡­ heheh. A black coated man walked from the terrorists and towards her Stella: The outfit¡­ That''s a robe the Rebellion''s ''Apostles'' wear. Then you must be the head of these imbeciles over here? Xiao Qiangwei: ''Rebellion? Isn''t that a infamous criminal organization? What do they want?'' Bischof: Correct¡­ The name is Bischof. A pleasure, princess. So. then he creepily turned towards the terrorists. Bischof: What did I say about not touching the hostages? Terrorists: Eek! Then Bischof grabbed someone for their collar Bischof: Yakin, you the cause of it? Yakin: Ah, n-no, not me! That kid! He soiled my clothes! Xiao Qiangwei just facepalmed at his stupidity. Bischof: Huh? Why you fussin'' about such a- he was interrupted when he unintentionally glanced at Stella and smirked Bischof: ...You know what. Yakin, that must''ve been some predicament. Don''t you worry, the pride of you ''Honorary Citizens'' will be properly protected by us. Then he took out a pistol from his coat and pointed to the family of before. Stella: Wha, what do you think you''re doing?! Bischof: We''re just makin'' a kid who couldn''t keep quiet as he was told pay for it, princess. Punishment for a crime, forgiveness for punishment. That''s my motto, ya see...? Then Stella summoned her device and rushed at him, but he let fall his gun and activated his device, blocking her sword and punched at her stomach with the same strength she used before, making her fly away of some meters. Stella: ''How could it be¡­ He didn''t look like a Blazer of that caliber¡­!'' Those¡­ Rings! Bischof: The paired set device ''Judgement Ring''. The left absorbs all dangers as ''Sin'' and the right can change it into a magical force as ''Punishment'', sending it back to the enemy. Meaning the stronger my enemies are, the stronger I become. Stella: I see. So I''ve just been punched with my own full force. Bischof: But what a magnificent royal you are. A princess of a country, throws herself out as a shield for some kid... I, Bischof, am truly in awe, that I would like to respect princes Stella''s bravery, to suggest a way to save the kid''s life. Stella: What... Are you saying? Bischof crouched and told her Bischof: Easy... You just need to apologize in the kid''s place, princess. Naked, and on the floor! KAKAKAKA!(AN: WTF IS THAT LAUGH?!) *Crash* Everyone turned towards the noise and found Xiao Qiangwei with a pissed off face, who just jumped from two floors, while Ikki was watching everything with a worried face. The terrorist got scared from his sudden appearance and some shot at the hostages, but Xiao Qiangwei just swung his arm and a big irregular wall of ice protected them from the bullets. The ice was really thick, blocking the visual of the hostages and Shizuku, who planned to do a barrier to protect the hostages beforehand. Then Xiao Qiangwei started emitting a devilish aura, scaring Stella, Bischof and the terrorists, and slowly walked towards them. Bischof: D-Don''t get near! My ''Judgement Ring'' will kill you if you make a move against me! Xiao Qiangwei didn''t stop, and started using a profound art. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Illusory Realm Domain: Red Butterfly.'' Then Bischof suddenly started screaming in a dreadful pain, there wasn''t nothing that was going wrong from outside, but he just grabbed his head and continued to scream like a maniac, then he rolled over the ground, until he stopped moving, dead. Terrorist: W-What happened? Xiao Qiangwei: This is the ''Illusory Realm Domain: Red Butterfly'', even if it is a ''Domain'', I can concentrate it to a single target, right now he''s dead, his soul was burned to nothingless. Stella: His... Soul... Burned...? Xiao Qiangwei: Nine Deaths of Eternal Night. Then 9 black shadows that are around ten meters and resembled the Nine-headed Hydra appeared behind Xiao Qiangwei''s back, they were menacingly looking at the terrorists, who had eyes open wide from the terror. Then the 9 black shadows lunged towards them, eating them alive and not letting even a drop of blood in the ground, meanwhile Stella was watching everything with a serious face while thinking at the words of her Director. When the massacre ended, one of the shadows broke the thick ice, revealing everyone with a grateful expression while not knowing anything about what happened. Xiao Qiangwei made disappear the shadows and then walked towards Stella, who turned towards him. Xiao Qiangwei: Are you ok? You are not hurt? Stella: E-Eh? No, I am not, I am unharmed. Xiao Qiangwei hugged her with a relieved expression Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks god¡­ Stella: Q-Qiangwei?! What are you doing?! Xiao Qiangwei: I wouldn''t know what I would do if they did something to you. Stella just stood in silence and smiled, before returning the hug [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki, Stella and Shizuku were leaving from the place and were returning at the academy, until¡­ Ikki: Hey girls, you continue walking, I want to talk a bit with Qiangwei. Stella: Qiangwei, come back soon, ok? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I will, don''t touch my beer, ok? Stella: Mh. Then the girls left while Ikki took Xiao Qiangwei to a dark alley. Xiao Qiangwei: Is it because I killed again? Ikki: Yes, and I wanted to say that I am sorry about it. Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Ikki: I know that it''s wrong killing someone, but I though about what would happen if they were asking Shizuku to get naked and kneel in the floor, and I though that I would try to kill them too... So I will say it again, I am sorry for judging you. But it still doesn''t change my view about it. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, if you still think it''s wrong after killing someone, then you are still human, that''s the important thing. Ikki: Mh, I will remember those words. Well, let''s go, the girls are waiting for us. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh. Then they walked towards their dorm 57 First Match and Complete Annihilation [later] Xiao Qiangwei reached home, and found Stella over his bed watching the TV, since his bed had a better visual than hers. Stella: Welcome, Qiangwei, what did you and Ikki talked about? Xiao Qiangwei: Nothing importa- *Driiin* He was interrupted when his notebook rang, he took it and Stella got up to watch what happened, it was a notification from the academy "Combat Selection Comittee: Notice of First Combat from CSC: It had been confirmed that contestant Xiao Qiangwei''s first match will be up against contestant Shizuya Kirihara from year three class two, time: Tomorrow at 11:30" Stella: Who''s that? Xiao Qiangwei: If I don''t get it wrong¡­ He was a casanova, but he was a bit strong too for the academy standards. Stella: Do you think you could win? Xiao Qiangwei: The real question here is if he could even injure me. But who cares, it will be easy. Stella nodded, and seen Xiao Qiangwei walking towards his refrigerator to pick two cans of beer. Xiao Qiangwei: Want one? Stella: Eh? But you said that I shouldn''t¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Now I want to offer one, do you want one? Stella though about it before accepting. [10 minutes later] Stella just finished to drink and was already drunk, shocking Xiao Qiangwei from the time needed for her to be drunk. Stella: H-Hey¡­ Wei¡­ I feel cold¡­ can you hug *hic* me? Then she strongly hugged his chest while he raised an eyebrow. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Well, until she doesn''t try to **** me then it''s ok...'' Then she leaned her entire body at him, making him feel her boobs and thighs, he really liked the situation, but didn''t dare to go over, for fear of what would happen in future. Stella: You are so comfy¡­ Wei¡­ I like you¡­ then she suddenly kissed his cheek, making him blush a bit, before he shook his head and got up with Stella still glued to his body, took her to her bed and laid her down, then he seen she was sleeping now, then he got in his bed and slept too. Meanwhile Stella, still drunk, opened her eyes and silently sneaked to his bed, and slept there, somehow without waking him up. [morning] Xiao Qiangwei woke up ans felt a weight over him, he glanced to see what it was and found Stella hugging him and pressing her body against him, when he moved a bit, Stella opened her eyes and looked at him for a moment. Stella: Good morning Qiangwei, eh? Why am I here? Then she registered the situation she was in and blushed heavily before getting up and going away from him. Stella: Y-Y-You pervert! You did something to me while I was sleeping, right?! Xiao Qiangwei: The fuck are you talking about? You were drunk and I took you to your bed, then you got in mine. Stella just lowered her head in embarassment and runned towards the bathroom while Xiao Qiangwei had a raised eyebrow at the scene. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was in the arena and looked at Shizuya, his enemy, who had an arrogant face, since Xiao Qiangwei entered the school from less than 2 months ago, there were a majority who still didn''t knew about his capabilities, and the guy in front of him was one of them. Stella, Ikki and Shizuhu were rooting for him, while most girls were rooting for Shizuya. "The next match on the list, this match will get everyone in the seats hyped, will it be as good as expected?! Firstly, let''s introduce the contestants for the match, The second year contestant, Shizuya Kirihara! He has also joined the ''Seven Stars Sword Art Festival'' last year! Kirihara-kun''s handsome outlook had certainly welcomed the support of the girls!" Girls: Kyaa!/ So handsome!/ Kirihara-kun!/ Turn this way! "While on the other side, there is the first year contestant, the legendary ''Evil God'', Xiao Qiangwei, who dominated in every matches with a single hit! Even if he may not be really known in the academy, those that does, knows that when fighting him, you should abandon all your hopes" Shizuya: I don''t know what is this story about the ''Evil God'', but I will prove you that you shouldn''t fight against your seniors. It''s time to hunt, ''Oborozuki''. In his hands a bow appeared. Xiao Qiangwei: Punish, ''Divina Virtute''. while in his hands, the familiar pair of claws appeared Shizuya: Let me have the initiative if you aren''t. then he disappeared from everyone''s eyes "Kirihara stepped into his ''Hunting Ground'' the instant the battle started. There''s not even a single trace left of him that can be seen by the naked eye." Xiao Qiangwei just turned at his friends and said Xiao Qiangwei: Hey guys, should I make it fast? "Ohh! Xiao''s question was a big insult on Kirihara''s capabilities, does it mean he has a method to win?" Stella: Yes! Xiao Qiangwei: well, ok, then... Evil God''s Domain: Lightning. Then the entire arena was covered with electricity, and some of them hit Shizuya, disabling his Noble Art. Shizuya: W-What?! What was that?! then Xiao Qiangwei walked in front of Shizuya, took his bow, and broke it in two pieces, putting Shizuya in a coma that would last for a week. "It... It already ended!!! Xiao Qiangwei is the winner!!" Then Xiao Qiangwei walked away from the arena while whistling [later] Xiao Qiangwei met with Stella in the way and walked together to their room Stella: Congratulations with your victory. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks, tomorrow will be your turn, right? Stella: Yeah. Xiao Qiangwei: Then I wish you good luck, we''re here. they arrived in their room and entered, Xiao Qiangwei directly got to his bed to write a letter to her mother while smiling, Stella was watching him, and suddenly remembered the words of the Director. Stella: "Qiangwei may be the strongest, but he is even the weakest, the moment something happens to her mother, I am sure that he will break... So please, protect him..." ''I will do it, whatever will happen, I will do everything to protect him... I can''t lose that sweet smile of his...'' [tomorrow] It was Stella''s turn to fight, and Xiao Qiangwei was rooting for her. Xiao Qiangwei: Show him who''s the boss! Contestant: Mine ability is "Accumulation of the weight of slashes"! The more I swing, the heavier it becomes, the maximum weight is 10 tons! Letting me change it to it''s maximum without knowing mine ability is thy mistake!! Stella: 10 Tons of weight? ''It is nothing compared to the arm strength of 30 tons of Qiangwei!'' (Great Way of the Buddha+Dragon Bloodline+Cultivation Realm) Then he rushed at her while raising his weapon over her head Contestant: ''Crescendo Axe''!! then Stella easily dispached of his weapon and burned his body with her flames, winning. 58 Fire Demons Gang. [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was nearing the 2nd Tyrant Profound Realm, and was in the arena against his ninth opponent. "The C-ranked second-year, contender Tomaru Renren, the ''Runner''s high''! Like Contender Saijou, contender Tomaru is a student council execultive, and the third strongest knight in this school!! Both contenders, until now, have eight wins out of eight matches! What on earth will happen in this match?! Let the match begin!" Renren: Nice to meet ya, Xiao-kun. Your match with the ''Hunter'' was really terrifying! Xiao Qiangwei: ok¡­ Renren: But don''t underestimate me, because like it was said, I am the third strongest! I''ll show you the way a third ranked fights! then she jumped everywhere "Here we go! It''s ''Mach grid''! Contender Tomaru''s ability, ''Accumulation of speed'', by ignoring the natural deceleration put on her body, as long as she''s not ''stopped'', she can continuously accelerate." Xiao Qiangwei: I can still see you. Renren: Eh?! Then I will just go faster! At this moment she was going noticeably faster, until she got in his back and hit him with her metal gauntlet *CLANG* An unexpected sound reverberated in the entire arena. Renren: OUCH!! What is your body made of!? she was in the ground while rubbing her hand that was in pain "Unexpectedly her hit didn''t nothing to Xiao Qiangwei, but she even got self-injured by punching him!" Xiao Qiangwei: It''s nothing, just a bit of training¡­ Then he stomped in the ground in front of her with as much strength he could muster, making a really big crater that almost destroyed the arena, and scaring the shit out of her. Renren: Fuck no! I will leave from here! You won, I will not deal with this shit. "Tomaru surrended to Xiao Qiangwei after showing his frightening strength! I am going to admit¡­ It scared me too¡­" Xiao Qiangwei walked away and met with Stella, who had a dumbfounded look. Stella: Hey Wei... What''s with that strength...? Xiao Qiangwei: That''s just my stomp at 100% of my power, nothing much... Stella: Nothing much?! You almost destroyed the entire arena!! Xiao Qiangwei: Calm down... At least I won. Stella: Yeah, you won, congratulations for your ninth victory Wei. Xiao Qiangwei: Thank you. Hey, do you want to eat something now? I am a bit hungry... Stella: Mh, let''s go, I am hungry too... Then they walked away towards a little restaurant. [later] They were in a table, Stella ordered 2 or 3 dishes while Xiao Qiangwei took only 2, and started eating it with a smile, until someone entered the restaurant and glanced at Stella, and was attracted from her(SECOND OC INCOMING!!). But then he noticed Xiao Qiangwei that was eating at her same table, and got really jealous, then he though about acting though in front of Stella, and walked towards them. ?: Oh, look at this pretty girl, hey girlie, you should leave this guy here and come with me, I can make you more comfortable than this milkie here. Stella: Hey Qiangwei, do you know him? Xiao Qiangwei: No, never seen him. Stella: Whatever. then she turned towards him and said with a blank face. Stella: Can you leave? You are disturbing my lunch here with my friend. Tomura: So you are new here, well, no worries. I am Kashini Tomura, I am the Young master of the Fire Demon gang, my father is pretty strong here, if you come with me, I can give you some privileges for being my woman, so¡­ Do you want to leave with me? Xiao Qiangwei: Can you just get the fuck out, you are ruining the taste of the food. Tomura: You¡­ Then he took out his device, proving that he was a Blazer, the device was an heavy sword mixed with a gun, and it was pointed at Xiao Qiangwei''s head. Tomura: You lowlife, don''t dare to speak with me in that tone. Xiao Qiangwei just raised a finger and touched the weapon, and froze it in an ice cube, shocking Tomura, he tried to use his Noble Art, that was fire manipulation, to melt the ice, but the moment his flames touched the ice, the flames were frozen too, shocking him and this time Stella too. Xiao Qiangwei: Now, either you leave alone, or I will kick your ass out of here. Tomura got pissed off but he walked away Tomura: I will make you pay! And you, little bitch, I will make you regret to not following me. Xiao Qiangwei was annoyed that a nobody called his friend ''Little Bitch'', so he snapped his fingers, and the cube of ice broke, breaking the weapon too, and making Tomura fall in a little coma. Some of his men, that were outside the restaurant, seen what happened to their ''Young Master'', so they took Tomura and left from there, to tell their boss about what happened to his son. After that, Xiao Qiangwei and Stella eaten calmly their food, and when they finished, they left the restaurant and turned at the dorm of the academy, with full stomachs [1 week later] in the dark room, there was a man who sat in the sofa, the man''s face wasn''t visible due to the shadows, the scenario stood like this until someone entered the room, it was a man in a suit and sunglasses. Bodyguard: Boss, I need to report something under the order of Young Master that just woke up... Boss: Talk... What wanted my son? Bodyguard: He was in a short coma because he fought against a Blazer. Boss: someone dares to touch my son?! Who is the little fucker?! Bodyguard: It is a young man called Xiao Qiangwei, from the Hagun Academy. Young Master found a girl he liked and tried to get her, but she refused and later the situation escalated, with the mentioned boy breaking the device of Young Master with a strange ice. Boss: Tsk... Did you gather informations about the boy? Bodyguard: Yes, he is an A-Rank Blazer, his Noble Art is unknown, and has only a mother, the father died in an incident. then the bodyguard showed the photos of Xiao Qiangwei and his mother to the boss, the boss was charmed from the mother and smiled. Boss: Take the woman to me and tell the piece of shit about it, I want to see his face in despair when he comes here and find his mother with me, while he can''t do nothing... Bodyguard: Yes sir!! then the Bodyguard left the room while the Boss smirked while looking at the picture of the single mother. 59 Pure Rage [tomorrow] The mother of Xiao Qiangwei was walking in a market to buy some food for her dinner, she bought a bit of bread, water, some meat and vegetables, and then she left the market with a bag in her hand, over her left shoulder there was the ice bird of her son. It wasn''t a normal bird like her son would send, instead, it was a majestic ice phoenix. She would always take it with her when she was outside, because she can''t separate herself from it, and it was cute when it rubbed its ice head to her cheek, she had one because she could send messages to her son. Right now she was walking at home wondering how her son was doing with Stella, his roommate, until she found a black van with a demon in flames drawn over it parked in front of her house, she was a bit suspicious about it. Until a rough hand came in front of her mouth, covering it, while someone was trying to destroy the ice phoenix, but it was too fast and flew away. So the men were taking her inside the van after they tied her up and drived away. Meanwhile, the ice phoenix flew away towards Xiao Qiangwei as fast as it could to warn him about what happened. [40 minutes later] The phoenix travelled more than 50 kilometerns in 40 minutes, and reached Xiao Qiangwei''s room, right now Stella just started showering while Xiao Qiangwei was drinking beer, when he heard a knock in his window and found the ice phoenix he sent at her mother for messages, he didn''t see any letter over it so he was a bit confused, and opened the window, letting it enter. Then the ice phoenix started melting until it became completely water and floated forming a bubble, where Xiao Qiangwei started seeing things, this was Ice Phoenix''s eye, a sub-profound skill of the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon, it was a skill he got in the god''s realm that would use a small ice phoenix as a drone, and would send what the ice beast seen to the creator when it melted, just like now. Xiao Qiangwei started seeing everything from the ice phoenix''s point of view. [5 minutes later] he started seeing a scene that made him incredibly angry, some men took away her mother in a van with a demon in flames drawn in it. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Those scumbags are dead!'' then he unconsciously started to use the Devil Origin Orb, and everyone in the academy started feeling a bad sensation, especially Stella, who was the most near, she felt as if she was pierced from a blade in her throat, and couldn''t even talk, so she slowly got out from the bathroom, with a bathrobe around her, and seen Xiao Qiangwei covered in a completely black aura. Xiao Qiangwei didn''t noticed her, and started walking outside, Stella couldn''t follow him because she was only in a bathrobe and was petrified from the aura he was emitting. Ikki and his sister got out from their room and the moment they seen Xiao Qiangwei, they stopped moving, and when they tried talking, nothing came out. Suddenly Xiao Qiangwei disappeared, while leaving a crater in the ground, and Ikki, Shizuhu, and Stella kneeled in the ground and started breathing heavily since that dark presence disappeared. Some minutes later the director came in the dorm and seen the situation. Kurono: What happened? Stella: I... I... I don''t know... I was doing a shower when I felt like I would die right at that moment if I took a step, and Qiangwei released a black aura arou- she was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei appeared in front of the director, shocking her and everyone else, and was still releasing the same black aura he had before, scaring the director too. Then Xiao Qiangwei looked at her eyes, and what she seen frightened her, his eyes weren''t anymore amber, but they were completely black and cold, piercing in her soul like a sword. Xiao Qiangwei: Where is the Fire Demon? when he talked, his voice was a bit distorted, scaring everyone near even more. Kurono was trembling, even if she was one of the strongest Blazers in the world, the feelings that Xiao Qiangwei was giving her, were completely different than anything else she felt, she already knew about the ''Noble Art'' of her student, and that scared her even more since he was immune to her abilities to control time. Kurono: T-t-they... a-are..... a-at south... f-f-f-from here... Xiao Qiangwei didn''t asked anything else and disappeared again, now even Kurono was kneeling in the ground fron fear, and sweated bullets while breathing heavily. Stella recovered from the shock and just noticed a water ball in the room, when she walked towards it and touched it, she got the same vision her roommate seen, and recognized the lady in it as his mother, she seen everything, even when she was kidnapped, and understood everything. Stella: Ms. Director! The Fire Demon''s gang kidnapped Qiangwei''s mother! This is the reason behind all this! Kurono: What?! Those guys... They unleashed hell... Ikki: Ms. Director... What do you mean? Kurono: Xiao Qiangwei always loved good friends and family, and right now the Fire Demon, a gang infamous in certain places, just kidnapped his mother, the person he loves the most, if something bad happens to her, I don''t know what would happen, but death would come. Ikki: What?! Then what can we do? Kurono: we can just hope to God that his mother is unharmed before he arrives there... Stella: Qiangwei... I will follow him! Kurono: Wait! Don''t go, it''s not safe! Stella: Ms. Director, you told me that I should protect him, and this is what I am doing now! I will go and make sure that Qiangwei comes back unharmed and calmed down. Kurono: *sigh* Then go. I will give you permission to use your device. then she rushed in the room and hastily dressed up, and then she left while Ikki, Shizuhu and Kurono were still recovering from the aura Xiao Qiangwei released. 60 Divine Punishmen [at the Fire Demon''s Gang base] Xiao Qiangwei''s mother still couldn''t see nothing because she had a blindfold and didn''t know what happened, until some men lifted her and took her in a room, and at last they left there over something soft, probably a bed or a sofa Man 1: Boss, she''s here. Mother: Mhfp! she couldn''t talk because she had a gag over her mouth. Boss: fantastic! I wonder what she wants to say. Guys, you did a good job, later I will give you a reward, now leave. Men: Thank you, Boss! then she heard footsteps leaving and a door banged, signaling that they left and the mysterious ''Boss'' was the only man remaining in the room. Right now she felt a rough hand over her blindfold and gag, and were removed, letting her speaking and looking around, and found a big man in front of her with a leecherous smile. Even if this guy kidnapped her, she would admit that if she wasn''t already married, he didn''t have that creepy expression, had a gentle smile and didn''t just kidnapped her, she would probably blush. But this wasn''t the case so she waa terrified from him and screamed Mother: Kyaaaaa! Don''t get near me! but she couldn''t move because she was still tied. Boss: Hah! You wish! But don''t worry, the other girls said that they always liked the first time with me. The Mother was scared from what happened, and then she felt an hand over her clothes, that were ripped off the next moment, some seconds later she had only the underwear. Boss: Oh, such a good body, it''s a shame that you have already a son, I wonder what would feel the first time. Mother: p-please stop... *sob* ... I didn''t do anything bad... Boss: you may not did anything, but your son Xiao Qiangwei put down my son who just wanted that red haired girl that was with him. Mother: S-Stella? No wonder you are so angry with my son then, but that leecher of your son deserves it! No one touches my son''s friends without going over me or him, I don''t care if he does something to you too! Boss: you know what? I don''t care much, I will just fuck you until you start begging for it! But before he could touch the underwear of the lady, she disappeared from the bed, and wasn''t seen anywhere else. Boss: W... What happened?! [some minutes ago] Xiao Qiangwei had still that terrifying expression in his face and was flying in air, meanwhile Stella was following in the ground as fast as she could, it was a good thing he was in air otherwise she would lost sight of him. Later they found themselves in front of a big mansion that was over a mountain, and it seemed that Xiao Qiangwei still didn''t noticed Stella, then she heard a whisper from Xiao Qiangwei, who was still floating in air, but she thought that it was his wind manipulation. Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Space. when he said those words, Stella could feel something wrong with the area around her, but didn''t give much importance about it until a figure appeared at Xiao Qiangwei, the figure was a mature woman with a volupitous body, and was in underwear, but the thing that distracted her the most of that woman, was that she had the same looks of the woman she seen in the water ball. Stella: ''So that''s Qiangwei''s mother? She is even more beautiful than in the vision...'' Then the woman just appeared in front of her, and Stella instinctively catched her, Stella thought that Xiao Qiangwei already knew about her presence then, but just ignored it. The woman looked at her with some tears in her eyes and then talked. Mother: You should be Stella Vermillion, right? *hic* Stella: yes ma''am, I am a friend of Qiangwei. Mother: Thanks god... You guys saved me... But you should leave with me... Stella: What do you mean? Obviously I am going to stay with him until the end! Mother: Heh, are you sure you aren''t his girlfriend? Stella: W-What!? No! I am just his friend! Well, we didn''t go in that stage yet... Mother: ohhh? Then you think that in future you may be his woman? Stella: N-No! Just forget everything!! Mother: Hehe... But we seriously need to leave... Since he was small, my son had a little problem concerning with emotions, when he was in a really bad mood, he would always unconsciously use his dark element... But now that he is really angry, I don''t know what would happen. So, please, leave from here and stay safe. Stella: No ma''am, I will stay here. Xiao Qiangwei: Then thank you to be a really good friend to Littke Wei... and now both them looked up and got wide eyes from what Xiao Qiangwei was doing [meanwhile] [BGM: Doom 2016: Argent Combat] Xiao Qiangwei had a finger pointed upwards and over his finger, there was a sky blue fireball as big as the mansion, in the flames, there were even traces of black, that was slowly covering the entire fireball, and some seconds later, the flames turned completely black. The boss was looking from his window with shock and sweat, until he creepily smiled and started glowimg and releasing even more magical power. Xiao Qiangwei lowered his finger, and the giant black fireball descended, but something blocked it''s way, Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow, that someone was blocking his World Eating Flames, that were even boosted, so he extended his senses down there and found a surprising thing, there was a big humanoid demon that was using a magic barrier to block the incoming fireball. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? A Desperados, and it seems that he even used his powers too much, transforming too... Boss: You will never beat me in my mansion!! Then the Boss slowly pushed back the fireball, making Xiao Qiangwei raise an eyebrow, but an instant later, they were cold again, and raised an hand, and at that movement, the fireball stopped, and continued his advancement towards the mansion, shocking everyone. The Boss tried to resist, but the magic barrier was burned to nothing from the flames now, and his body started burning too. Boss: STOP ITTT! IT HURTS!!! STOOOOOP. then he was burned to nothingless too, and the mansion stopped existing some seconds later, because it melted too. Then Xiao Qiangwei appeared in front of Stella and his mother, and hugged them. At that moment, a really big explosion was heard but Stella and the woman couldn''t feel anything from it, probably because Xiao Qiangwei protected them. After some minutes, the smoke left, and there was an enormous crater instead of the mountain. While Xiao Qiangwei''s Mother and Stella were flying because Xiao Qiangwei was carrying them in air. 61 A Kiss is worth more than a Word Xiao Qiangwei descended at the border of the crater with his mother and Stella in his arms, when he got in the ground, he let go them and took a deep breath, for calming down and taking a rest from the profound skill he used. Mother: Little Wei, are you alright? Xiao Qiangwei: I am just a bit tired, did they do something to you, Mom? the mother smiled sweetly at him and hugged his son. Mother: It''s ok Little Wei, they just took some clothes, they didn''t nothing else. Stella: Are you sure you are alright, Qiangwei? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, it''s ok, I was just... he glanced at Stella and seen that she was trembling from fear, because she still thought at what happened at the dorm. Xiao Qiangwei knew about it and sighed, then he hugged her, stopping her trembling body. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, Stella... I will not harm you... Stella hesitantly hugged back and started crying a bit. Stella: I was so scared at the dorm... When you were releasing that dark aura... I was so scared... Please don''t do it anymore... Xiao Qiangwei: Shhh... Don''t think about it anymore... Mother: Oh my, I might just start thinking that you two are a couple. Stella started blushing heavily and lowered her head from embarassment, but Xiao Qiangwei just smiled. Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t mind it... Stella: Eh?! Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t mind if you become my girlfriend now. Stella: W-well, if you say something like that at me... Xiao Qiangwei looked at her mother with a smile and she winked an eye at him, then Xiao Qiangwei smirked. Now Xiao Qiangwei put an hand under her chin and raised her head, making Stella curious, and their lips connected to each other, shocking Stella and making Xiao Qiangwei''s mother raise a thumb up at her son''s action. After 10 seconds of kissing, they separated from each other and Stella started falling unconscious from the blood that was flowing in her head at that moment. Xiao Qiangwei: I think she couldn''t take it... Mother: She liked it, don''t worry. Well, now can we go home? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah. Then Xiao Qiangwei created a giant ice phoenix and he took his mother and Stella over it, and then they flew away before someone would see them. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was over the academy and the ice phoenix landed in a empty place, then Xiao Qiangwei, who had carrying an unconscious Stella over his arms, and his mother who was behind him, got down from the ice beast and it evaporated. Meanwhile Ikki, his sister and the director ran towards them with a worried expression. Ikki: Qiangwei, are you ok? Xiao Qiangwei: I am here uninjured, I have a woman here that should be obviously my mother, and you ask if I am ok? Ikki: yeah... It was a bit stupid... Kurono: you should be Miss Xiao, right? Mother: yes, that''s me, who are you? Kurono: I am the director of the academy, Shinguuji Kurono. Mother: oh? I wonder if you can tell me how was going at school with my son. Kurono started smirking and laid an arm around the woman''s shoulder. Kurono: we have a looooot to talk about, let''s go to my office... Then they walked away while Xiao Qiangwei sweatdropped. [1 hour later] Xiao Qiangwei was looking at the TV while drinking a beer, and felt Stella waking up. Stella: Eh? Where am I? Xiao Qiangwei: we are back at our room. Stella nodded before she remembered what happened before and her entire face became red and stuttered. Stslla: Y-You k-k-kissed me!! Xiao Qiangwei: yep, and I am waiting for an answer now. Stella: I... I... Xiao Qiangwei: inhale and exhale, then think about it. Stella did as he said and breathed, later she closed her eyes and started to think. Stella: ''Do I love him?'' then she had some flashbacks of the dark aura he released today, that made her shiver. But later on she started to remember what ge did for her, at school, yesterday at the restaurant, and finally she remembered the moment Xiao Qiangwei said and did after he killed all the terrorists Stella: "I wouldn''t know what I would do if they did something to you."... ''Heh... After all he did, how can I not like him?'' Stella smiled and glanced at Xiao Qiangwei, who was watching the news about the Fire Demon gang. Stella: My answer is yes! now Xiao Qiangwei turned at her and smiled while he drinked beer. Suddenly the door was broken and his mother and the director came out from the door, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei spit out his beer to the ground from the sudden appearance and Stella got red. Mother: finally my little boy has a girlfriend! Xiao Qiangwei: Did... Did you and Ms. Director listened to everything? *cough* Mother: I should know everything about my own son, right? Kurono: I was just curious... Xiao Qiangwei sighed but his mother continued to talk. Mother: Little Wei, I already know about your revenge for my husband... Now everyone got a serious face and listened to her words while her son just looked down Xiao Qiangwei: Was it so obvious? Mother: yes, but I want to say this, please, stop thinking about it... I accept the fact that you already killed people to protect me and Stella, but this revenge will bring nothing... My husband is already dead, don''t continue this.. then she started crying for her son Xiao Qiangwei: sorry mom, but I can''t, I want at least to know everything... Then I will decide if I should stop or go until the end... Mother: is that so? Then I can''t stop you... Just... Stay safe, for me. Xiao Qiangwei: yes mom, I will do it. then the mother cleaned her eyes from the tears and smiled Mother: then it''s ok, I will take my leave. Bye son, and don''t bully your new girlfriend Xiao Qiangwei: mh... Oh yeah! Mom, you forgot about your ice phoenix! Then Xiao Qiangwei created a bit bigger Ice Phoenix, and made it so that it could protect his mother when she''s in danger, not wanting to risk anymore, then it flew towards his mother''s shoulder and the phoenix rubbed against her cheek, making the mother smile. When she and the director left, Xiao Qiangwei turned to Stella. Xiao Qiangwei: So... We are a couple now, right? Stella laughed at him while he smiled. 62 Ayases Problems [tomorrow morning] Xiao Qiangwei woke up and got in the shower to clean himself, and when he got out, he found Stella who just woke up and looked at his body, then she got again that trail of blood that left from her nose. Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* And I though that the men should be more pervert... Stella: W-what do you mean?! You are the one walking around with just a bathrobe! What do you think a girl should think when she see you with a perfect body like that?! Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? So you like the show, eh? Stella blushed and looked at another way. Later Xiao Qiangwei dressed up and told her. Xiao Qiangwei: I am going to train, bye... Stella: hey, Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: mh? Stella: can I follow you to see how you train? Xiao Qiangwei: Are you sure? It is boring watching me training. Stella: Mh, I want to see how you became so strong. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Well, I think that today I can enter the 2nd Tyrant Profound Realm...'' Why not? Follow me then... Then they walked out from the academy and now they were in a forest. Stella: Why are we here? Xiao Qiangwei: because it helps me with the training, now I am going to start, but I warned you that it would be boring, so if you don''t want to spectate anymore you can just leave. Stella: No, I am going to see everything till the last second. Xiao Qiangwei just shrugged and put himself in a lotus pose and started cultivating the World-Defying Heaven Manual. Meanwhile Stella watched everything with interest, because she could feel a bit of the energy around him entering his body. [3 hours later] Stella was almost sleeping from boredom, until a sudden rise of energy appeared, it woke her up and made her fall on her back, when she got up again, she seen that the rise of energy came from Xiao Qiangwei, and it surprised her when the energy stopped going wild like it appeared. Then Xiao Qiangwei got up and clenched his hands, then he smirked and looked at Stella. Xiao Qiangwei: I just became stronger, no need to be frightened. Stella: W-what happened?! Xiao Qiangwei: Nothing interesting. Well, time to go back at the academy now, soon there should be the fight of Ikki. Stella: Eh? Oh yeah. then they walked away from the forest and got towards the arena. [later] They were in the arena, and right now they were spectating a fight between Ikki and a girl named Ayase Ayatsuji "Alright, Thanks for waiting, everyone! The first match in the sixth arena will now begin! In charge of our commentary today is Oreki Yuuri-sensei! Let''s introduce the fighters. First, it''s the first-year contender Kurogane Ikki, he''s the F-Rank knight that everyone''s been watching closely, after winning a perfect ten out of ten fights!" "And his opponent is third-year contender Ayatsuji Ayase, this D-Rank knight, like contender Kurogane, is also a sword wielder. Who''s won her matches thus far with only sword techniques!" Xiao Qiangwei: What the...? Stella: What''s happening? Xiao Qiangwei: the place is a fucking minefield... Shizuku: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: thanks to my Noble Art, I could see things that some may not, and one of them is the arena that is full of hidden slashes made of air... Stella/Shizuku: What?! Shizuku: Then she cheated! Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, do you really think your brother would be so easily defeated? He already knows about them. Stella: I don''t get it... Xiao Qiangwei: He told me that if I seen something that is wrong, then I should keep quiet about it. So I accepted it and here we are. The girls then watched the fight, Stella was analyzing everything while Shizuku was worried. Ikki was already injured due to the slashes that were left in the air around him, but he was still fighting against Ayase, then he rushed at her and somehow dodged the traps she put beforehand, and when he was in front of her, he used another sword technique and defeated her. Xiao Qiangwei: Heh, I would have broken his arm if he somehow lost in this fight... Shizuku got shocked and then she turned to him Shizuku: I won''t let you hurt him! Stella and Xiao Qiangwei just laughed at her while Ikki was coming towards them with a smile. [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei, Stella, Ikki and the girl of yesterday, Ayase, were walking towards a dojo, it was worn out, and had some drawings made with a spray here and there. They walked towards this place because Ikki wanted to help the girl with something, Xiao Qiangwei was bored and Stella followed him. Ikki: Sorry to interrupt while you''re chatting, but can I have some of your time? Xiao Qiangwei: No, you''re doing it wrong, just barge in, you don''t ask a guard if he could let you enter in the room of his king. Man 1: Huh? Who the hell are you? Man 2: Oh! You''re the coward from the restaurant, ain''cha! The one quacking so bad at Kuraudo knocking you around, you couldn''t even complain! Hmm? Hey, it''s Ayase-chan and... WHO''S THE REDHEAD! SHE''S REALLY BEAUTIFUL! Then people suddenly grouped around Stella Extras: Hey hey, how old are ya?/ No way, are you a Blazer?/ You from Hagun? Xiao Qiangwei: Take a step back from her and I might have mercy on you. Extras: Who''s the fucker here?/ This little shit thinks he''s strong/ Let''s teach him a lesson.../ Eh? Wait, isn''t he the guy who destroyed the Fire Demon? Xiao Qiangwei: you asked for it... then he froze all of them in a flash. Ikki: didn''t you exagerated a bit? Xiao Qiangwei: I am already holding back, otherwise I would freeze their insides too, they shouldn''t poke around other people''s girlfriends. Stella gave a sweet smile at him for his behavior. Ikki: EEH?! So you and Stella... Xiao Qiangwei: yep, we are a couple... Ikki: But won''t the Vermillion Kingdom then try to hunt you for this? Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t care, even if the heaven is against me, I will just take it down, I have the capabilities to defend myself and the people around me, so I will use them. Stella just hugged his arm and unconsciously pressed her body at him while smilling. Stella: Thank you, Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki and Ayase smiled at the scene in front of them, but then the last two mentioned turned towards the dojo with a serious face. Ikki: so, how we will enter? Xiao Qiangwei: let me do the job... You fucking gentleman... then Ikki and Xiao Qiangwei came in front of the doors of the dojo, and Xiao Qiangwei kicked it down, making it fly towards the opposite wall, everyone inside the dojo were watching the scene, and then turned to the entrance Xiao Qiangwei: Daddy took out the belt! 63 Ikki vs Kuraudo then they walked inside while a light brown haired man with yellow sunglasses was watching them. Stella: Wow. Even the inside of the dojo is messy... You people are like that even in here? Extras: Who the hell are they?/ That guy, he''s from the restaurant!?/ look at the other one.../ He''s the one who destroyed the Fire Demon!!/ What?! Kuraudo: What a coincidence, just now, I was thinking of coming to see you. So, why did you come here, Coward? Ikki: I''m here as a substitute, in place of Ayatsuji-san, I''m here to take back the dojo. Kuraudo: Haha! I was wondering what you''d say, but that''s pretty lame! This dojo is a prize I won in a fair duel. As a swordsman, you know what that means, right? Ikki: of course, I''m not asking you to hand it over to me. then Ikki''s katana was at Kuraudo''s neck Ikki: Kurashiki-kun, I challenge you to a duel. This is a dojo challenge, just like yours, you won''t run away, right? Kuraudo smirked and grabbed Ikki''s blade with his bare hands Kuraudo: Alright, I''ll accept. But you''ll have to do what I did when I took this place. First of all, you''ll have to take on all thirty of the idiots ar- Xiao Qiangwei: Done. Kuraudo: Eh? And who are you? Xiao Qiangwei just smirked at him and released a part of his profound energy Xiao Qiangwei: Your God... Kuraudo: ''this guy is dangerous...'' Tsk... I''ll go see for myself then... he walked outside and seen every single one of his men frozen, his eyes widened and then he turned towards Ikki with a smirk. Kuraudo: you know what? Who cares, let''s just make a fight between us. then Kuraudo and Ikki summoned their devices and took their stances. Ikki: Qiangwei, give us the start. Xiao Qiangwei: at my 3, the fight will start... 3! Everyone just looked at him dumbfounded, even Kuraudo. Xiao Qiangwei: Did I stutter?! then Ikki and Kuraudo looked at each other and started the fight, and the others just spectated the fight. During the battle, everyone noticed that Kuraudo was incredibly faster compared to Ikki. Ayase: w-what''s happening? Xiao Qiangwei: his speed is incredibly faster than Ikki, not only that, acceleration, motion, reflexes, it seems like he lives in an accelerated world... Ayase: so that''s his Noble Art? Slowing down the time around him? Xiao Qiangwei: no, my Noble Art is Element Domination, it permits me to not only control any elements as I wish, but I am even immune to it, and it doesn''t include only the four main elements, but even things like time, space and void. So I should see everyone slowing down if that was the case, but I can''t even see any sign of magic around him, so it isn''t acceleration either... This leaves only with a possibility... Xiao Qiangwei/Ikki: Reflexive Nerve Sensitivity. Ayase/Stella: Nerve... Sensitivity...? Xiao Qiangwei: his body takes orders from the brain faster than a normal person should, making his reflexes faster. Kuraudo just pointed at Xiao Qiangwei with a smirk Kuraudo: you... I like you... What''s your name? Xiao Qiangwei smirked too and answered. Xiao Qiangwei: I am Xiao Qiangwei, but I refuse your confession, I already have a girlfriend. Kuraudo: ''This fucker...'' Hahaha! I wish you and Ikki here could be friends in future... But I better finish this fight! then he rushed at Ikki making even faster attacks, but after some time Ikki won the fight using the same technique Ayase''s teacher had. Kuraudo surrended and said that he would leave the dojo at Ikki and then said. Kuraudo: We''ll continue this at the seven star sword art festival, and maybe I hope to fight against Xiao Qiangwei too... Ikki: heh... Sorry but you won''t hold a candle to him... Kuraudo: are you underestimating me because I surrended? Ikki: no, Qiangwei is different, even an A-Rank Blazer couldn''t make a scratch at him, and it was done with just training alone, he is faster than you, stronger than everyone you ever seen, and his abilities extend even further than what we can comprehend... I can''t even analyze and copy his style because my body is too weak to use it... Then both of them turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was talking with Stella, and Kuraudo smirked Kuraudo: I want to see it myself... Bye Kurogane... then he left the dojo. Xiao Qiangwei: well, Ayase, heal the dickhead here, Ikki, we will leave now, don''t stay to much time here, ok? Ikki: yeah... Bye Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei/Stella: Bye. Then Xiao Qiangwei and Stella left, leaving alone an injured Ikki and Ayase. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was in the arena against someone now, and the contender''s ability was to ''Absorbing the hits'', so every hit of Xiao Qiangwei made him stronger, but when he passed from a punch of 5000 kg to 20000 kg, the contender couldn''t resist a hit like that and flew to the edge of the arena while falling unconscious. "The Evil God wins again with a crushing victory! And now he has complete set of 11 wins of 11 matches!" Xiao Qiangwei walked outside from the arena while whistling while everyone was dumbfounded from the strength he used against the loser. Everyone: ''Isn''t that too much for the poor guy?!'' Xiao Qiangwei then met with Stella and highfived each other. Stella: congratulations for your victory again Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: it''s just too easy to win. Do you want a beer? Stella: No thanks, I don''t want something like the other time happen again, even if we are a couple now... [flashback] Stella just finished her first can of beer iof the day, and was already drunk, when she looked at Xiao Qiangwei, she got a smirk and jumped at him while kissing him, Xiao Qiangwei was surprised from this and then he moved away from Stella, who was stalking towards him with a smile. Stella: C''mon Wei... We are a couple... We should make love to each other.... *hic* Xiao Qiangwei: Woman, you are fucking drunk! Go to the bed and rest. Stella: I prefer being with yo- *thump* She fell to the ground and started sleeping there, while Xiao Qiangwei sighed in relief, he really enjoy doing "it", but he prefer doing it with a normal girl instead of a drunk one. Then Xiao Qiangwei put her to her bed and left towards his to start sleeping, at morning she was all the time under the shower because she was too embarassed to show her face to him after what happened the last evening, and later she got enough courage to leave from the shower and start talking with him. 64 Sparring against Xiao Qiangwei [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were watching the TV at morning until someone knocked the door, Xiao Qiangwei opened it and found Shizuku outside with her hands behind her back, Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow at this. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, good morning Shizuku, what do you need? Shizuku: I need some advices to make Ikki see me as a woman! Xiao Qiangwei: So¡­ It''s incest? Shizuku: Yes¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Well, no harm done until you start annoy me, I am going to help you a little, but first I want to know as much as possible about Ikki''s behavior and characteristics. Shizuku: Got it! Then she left to her room and started writing something, while Stella asked him. Stella: Hey Qiangwei, who was it? Xiao Qiangwei: It was Shizuku, she''s in love with her brother and asked me what to do to make Ikki fall in love with her. Stella: Oh? Can I join too? Xiao Qiangwei: I wanted to ask that, you can join. Then Stella got up from excitement, but she banged her pinky toe in a table and tried to scream, but nothing came out, then she rolled over the ground while hugging her feet and crying from pain. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei started laughing, and when Stella got up, she angrily pouted and hastily walked towards Xiao Qiangwei to hit him, but she walked on a can of beer and fell over Xiao Qiangwei, accidentaly kissing him in the lips. He raised an eyebrow due to the situations that are happening today, while Stella moved away from him and blushed a bit while holding a finger over her lower lip and looking to another way. Then Shizuku came back with a list with Ikki''s behaviors and characteristics. Shizuku: Here it is! Then Xiao Qiangwei took it and started reading, he got a frown, and then he gave it back to her. Xiao Qiangwei: He''s hopeless... Just tell him directly that you love him as a woman to a man or start with plan DKR. Shizuku/Stella: Plan DKR? Xiao Qiangwei: Drug him, Kidnap him, and **** him. Stella sweatdropped while Shizuku got a big blush on her face. Shizuku: I-I would never do this!! Xiao Qiangwei: I tried to help, but this list is practically screaming "Give up" at me, well, Stella will help you better than me... Stella: Eh? Then Shizuku gave her the list, and she read it too, but she got a frown like Xiao Qiangwei and gave it back at her. Stella: Do what Qiangwei said... Just tell Ikki that you love him. Shizuku: B-But... If he refuses me? Xiao Qiangwei: So this was the problem... He will not refuse, remember these words, and go tell him after a walk in the city. Shizuku: He will not refuse... He will not refuse... He will not refuse... YES!! I WILL DO IT!! then she walked away from them and started thinking about a plan for the weekend with Ikki, but she remembered something and turned towards him again. Shuzuku: Oh right, Qiangwei, can we fight? Xiao Qiangwei: Mh? Why? Shizuku: I need to train because my next enemy is Touka Toudou. Stella: For real?! Xiao Qiangwei: Are you sure? Even if she is really strong, she is not at my level, you should pick someone weaker. Shizuku: Do you really think that the others would give me a challenge? Xiao Qiangwei: Good point... Well, come with me then... Shizuku nodded and followed him, together with Stella. [later] Shizuku was preparing herself, while Xiao Qiangwei was with his arms crossed. Shizuku: Why aren''t you getting ready? Xiao Qiangwei: Because you are not worth it, now take your ass here and swing that fucking cutter in your hands. Shizuku got angry and shot a water ball from her sword that attacked to Xiao Qiangwei''s head, thinking that he would not be able to breathe, but he started talking as if he never had that water ball around his head. Xiao Qiangwei: Is that all? Since it seems you either forgot about it or didn''t knew about it, I''ll tell you. My Noble Art is ''Element Domination'' I can use the elements as I wish and I am immune to them. Then the water ball separated from his head and froze, then it flew at bullet speed towards Shizuku, who tried to cut it with her short sword, but her weapon didn''t left even a scratch at it and it sent her fly at the arena''s wall. Shizuku was shocked from the strength of the ice and recovered herself from the hit, then she asked. Shizuku: What was that ice? Xiao Qiangwei: It isn''t important, the only thing that matters is that you can''t defeat me with your noble art, use your sword. Shizuku nodded and rushed at him with the intent of injuring him, but when she got at 1 meter of distance, she felt a sudden force at her chest, and flew away from Xiao Qiangwei again, crashing to a wall, then Xiao Qiangwei extended an hand. Xiao Qiangwei: Hand of Darkness And a big hand made of pure dark Profound Energy appeared at his side, and rushed at Shizuku, but instead of punching her, the hand made a grabbing motion and grapped Shizuku''s body. Then Xiao Qiangwei lowered his hand and the black hand crashed at the floor with Shizuku, and vanished, leaving a defeated Shizuku. Stella had wide eyes due to the short time he needed to defeat another A-Rank Blazer, and he didn''t even moved from his spot. Xiao Qiangwei: Shizuku, you should start training your body. Shizuku: Y...Ye...s... Then she tried to get up, but she couldn''t, Xiao Qiangwei sighed and walked towards her and crouched while extending an hand Xiao Qiangwei: grab it. Shizuku: No... I need to do this alone... Otherwise I won''t be strong enough to win. Xiao Qiangwei: And what does it have to do with grabbing an hand? Shizuku: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: It isn''t hard to get what I said, what does it have to do with your strength if you don''t grab the hand and stay there for a longer time? Nothing. Now grab it and start training. Shizuku sighed and grabbed his hand, and got up. Xiao Qiangwei: Good, now recover yourself and start training with your short sword with the help of Ikki. Shizuku nodded and then slowly walked away, meanwhile Stella was getting down and walked towards Xiao Qiangwei Stella: Was it really necessary? Xiao Qiangwei: I warned her, she insisted, it isn''t my fault. Stella: *sigh* Let''s go back at the dorm... Xiao Qiangwei: Ok. Then they walked away from the arena. 65 Student Councils Reques [2 days later] Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki and Stella were watching the fight between Shizuku and Touhou, for the first part of the fight they seemed even, but later on Touhou showed more about her strength, like disappearing from Shizuku''s view and appearing in front of her, surprising Xiao Qiangwei due to the movements she used, even if he could clearly see her. Stella: Hey Qiangwei, what''s happening with Shizuku? It''s like she can''t see Touka-san. Xiao Qiangwei: She is using a movement technique. Stella: Movement Technique? And what is different from a normal movement? Xiao Qiangwei: there are many techniques that helps someone overcome his enemies, for example I have an attack that is incredibly stronger than others, but I require certain movements and precision, Touka is using certain movements that confuses Shizuku for a moment, enough to arrive in front of her. ?: Bravo, you got it. Xiao Qiangwei turned with a smile, followed from Stella and Ikki. Xiao Qiangwei: do you know what is that, then? Nene: Yes, it is the Trackless step, it''s a technique that combines the breathing and footwork of ancient martial arts. Xiao Qiangwei: Then, can you teach me that? ''I need some movements technique, and maybe in future I can make it a profound skill'' Nene: I will teach you only... Nene diasppeared and instantly appeared i. front of Xiao Qiangwei, who reflexively raised a palm against her, surprising her a bit, but she regained her childish smile. Nene: ...if you defeat me, and from the battle you had with another Desperados, it will be an exciting fight. Xiao Qiangwei: I admit it, you are fast, I almost couldn''t see you, but where''s the catch? Nene: if I win, then you will tell me everything about your powers. Stella: What do you mean? Nene: this guy here, Xiao Qiangwei, doesn''t have any magic energy inside him. Stella/Ikki: EH?! Xiao Qiangwei: So you found out. Alright, I will tell you if you manage to win Nene: I am going to pick you up when we will start, bye! Then she left them, and Stella and Ikki turned towards Xiao Qiangwei Ikki: Hey Qiangwei, do you really not have any magic energy? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, I use another power instead of magic, but I can''t say anything else about it. Stella: Why? Xiao Qiangwei: because it would be a mess if people would know about it, at least I can tell you in a long future, but not now. Stella: then I''ll wait for it... [later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were walking towards their dorm when Stella blindly walked against someone who had many documents, and the person let fall all those papers in the ground. Stella: S-sorry! Touka: Oww... My glasses... Where are my glasses... Xiao Qiangwei: Oh Touka, it''s you. Touka: eh? Oh, hi Qiangwei, long time no see. Stella: you two know each other? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, one day she wanted to spar against me, but I was tired so I refused. Then you came in my room as a transfer student. Stella: oh... Xiao Qiangwei picked the glasses and gave them to her, and she thanked him and gathered all the documents that fell. Now they were walking together while helping Touka with the documents and talking. Xiao Qiangwei: well, congratulations on the match Touka, I already knew Shizuku couldn''t do it... Touka: You know her? Xiao Qiangwei: well, she is the sister of my friend, and asked me for a spar to test herself. But she lost immediately. Stella: There''s one thing I had on my mind... Touka-san, from the situation a while ago, it seems your eyesight is weak. But you weren''t wearing glasses during the match. Is it because... You were going easy on Shizuku? Touka: That''s not true. Actually, it''s the other way around, when I can''t see, my perpetual accuracy is enchanted... Things are difficult with someone of Shizuku''s level as an opponent. Stella: Perpetual? Touka: I wield an ability over lightning. Without my sight, I can sense the electrical impulses in my opponent''s body. From the impulses travelling through an opponent''s nerves, from the signals in their eye movements, I can predict their next action. It''s information about opponent''s thoughts that can''t be faked, by catching that, it becomes very easy to read my opponent''s intentions. That''s my Noble Art, Reverse Sight. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? Interesting... I wonder how you will resist against me then... Touka: I would give a good fight at least, but you shouldn''t underestimate me, there is a reason that I am the Student Council President. Xiao Qiangwei: We will see... ''it seems she doesn''t know about my Noble Art then... Good, I like surprise people'' Later they arrived at the room Touka should go, and when they opened the door, the first thing that they noticed was that the room was comparable to a dumpster. Xiao Qiangwei: Holy mother of Jesus, this place is even dirtier than a toilet after taking a dump! Touka: aww c''mon, it isn''t that mes- Ouch... she stumbled on a weight that was right in front of her foot and fell. Renren: Prez, welcome back. Utakata: Did you fall over again? Well, Touka is so clumsy after all! Touka got up and was angry, then she walked to the table and unconsciously used a different accent while screaming Touka: Tomaru-san! If ya gonna use dumbbells then put ''em away after! Uta-kun, if ya readin'' manga then return ''em to da shelf! I mean how''z the place get like ''dis when I was away practicin'' fer my match only a day?! Sheesh, you guys''re always, always- Then she felt a big hand over her shoulder and turned to Ikazuchi, the secretary of the student council. Ikazuchi: President. Keep in mind we have guests. Touka: Ah! then she panicked and pushed Stella and Xiao Qiangwei outside from the room Touka: Would you please wait juuuuuuust a bit? then she closed the door and many noises came from the room, meanwhile Xoao Qiangwei and Stella sweatdropped, until some seconds later Touka opened the door again Touka: C... Come on in. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok... then they entered again and sat on the sofa while Kanata, the treasurer, was preparing the tea. Kanata: so, I wanted to find you two for something before, but since you two are here I would like to ask something. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh? What''s the problem? Touka: Oh yeah, I forgot about that... A few days ago, a request came to the student council from board chairman Shinguuji. Xiao Qiangwei: From Kurono? What happened? Touka: A suspicious person appeared at Hagun Academy''s Training Camp, we wanted to ask you two if you could help us capturing that person. Xiao Qiangwei: can you tell us about the person? Touka: It seems he is a 4-meter-tall giant. Stella: A giant?! Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? Then, Stella, do you accept? Stella: Yes! I want to see a giant! Xiao Qiangwei: you heard her, we will go. Touka: thank you guys, let''s work together! 66 The Fever [tomorrow/Hagun Academy''s Training Camp] Xiao Qiangwei, Stella and the Student Council were in a plain, and started preparing their things. Touka: Now, Totokubara-san and Saijou-san, please meet with the custodian. While they''re doing so, let''s prepare lunch. Ikazuchi and Kanata left them while the remaining members of the Student Council, Xiao Qiangwei and Stella set up a table and took the cookware, then they started cooking curry. [later] They finished eating and now were searching for the giant, Xiao Qiangwei was walking with Stella, and then another snake jumped at Xiao Qiangwei... And was stuck there like 19 more snakes... They couldn''t pierce his skin so they were stuck with an open mouth, Xiao Qiangwei just ignored them and continued to walk while Stella sweatdropped at the scene Stella: ''How can he ignore them so easily? Ugh... I got fever...'' Xiao Qiangwei sensed something so he walked towards that direction, and found a giant hole in the ground and some footsteps, it was probably the giant they were searching around. Xiao Qiangwei: The fuck is that? Hey Stella... He turned and found Stella supporting herself on a tree while her face was red and had a tired expression, he was worried so he ran at her. Xiao Qiangwei: hey Stella, what''s wrong? Stella: I... I think.... I got fever... then she almost fell to the ground of it wasn''t for Xiao Qiangwei that caught her. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Shit... How does someone cure from fever?! I should have studied more about the medical arts...'' Then it started raining, surprising Xiao Qiangwei from the timing of it. Then he though about going to a small shack they seen before, so he used his Golden Flames to evaporate the rain and warming Stella while taking Stella at the shelter. [later] Xiao Qiangwei just finished a call warning the Student Council about the giant hole and Stella''s current condition, the Student Council advised to warm up Stella, so he set a fire. Stella: Qiangwei... Can you turn around? Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Why? Stella: I need... to remove some clothes... because it''s hard to breathe with them... Xiao Qiangwei: Oh... Ok. then he turned around and Stella undressed herself, until she lost balance and was caught again from Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: You are too weak now, shall I do it? Stella hesitated before she said. Stella: Yes... Please. Then Xiao Qiangwei gently laid her to the floor, and slowly undressed her without showing any sign of shame or hesitation, right now he was just thinking of helping her instead of her body. Later she had only the underwear, and it was still hard for her to breath. Stella: Qiangwei... Could you remove my bra? Xiao Qiangwei: ...ok... ''Why she should buy this type of bra?! Woman, at least buy one that opens from the back! I swear... The women in this realm don''t have even a bit of shame...'' This time it was a bit hard to think at helping her, and hesitated a bit before he unzipped her bra from the opening in the front, at this moment the image of Stella with an almost naked body was imprinted in his head and got hard down there while Stella covered her breasts with a blanket they found in the shelter. Stella: Sorry Qiangwei, It''s my fault that you were busy with me... Xiao Qiangwei: no, I want a thanks not a sorry, now say it again. Stella: ...Thank you for helping me... Xiao Qiangwei smiled and patted Stella''s head, she smiled too and unconsciously looked down. Xiao Qiangwei: No problem, it was the least I could do in this situation. Stella: Big... Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? then he looked down and found that she was looking at his lower body, he blushed a bit and smiled wryly. Xiao Qiangwei: just ignore that... Stella: It''s ok, since it''s you, I am glad that I caused it... Xiao Qiangwei: ''...What?'' Stella: Hey, Qiangwei... Do you want to do it with me? Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wait what?!'' Wait what?! (He though and said the same thing, not an error) Stella: Yes, do you want to do it? Xiao Qiangwei: Woman, you have a fucking fever... And you think about sex? I like it, but I prefer my first time NOT in Only-God-Knows where, while you have a fever, and there may or not may be a fucking giant half kilometer from here... At least I would do it when you could enjoy it too. Stella: You are right... I would like to enjoy my first time too... Then, when we have an holiday, do you want to do it? Xiao Qiangwei: if the conditions are good, then yes, but first, we will tell your parents that we are a couple, if I am not wrong then they still don''t know it, right? Stella: Mh... Xiao Qiangwei: Then let''s do this, when your parents know about our relationship, when both of us are in a good condition, and when we are alone, we can even start. Ok? Stella smiled and then she answered before sleeping. Stella: Yeah. [later] Stella woke up and felt better than before, then she turned to see Xiao Qiangwei playing with a sky blue flame, the same one at the Fire Demon''s mansion, and only now she could feel it. Surprising her, the flame had a warm and a cool feeling at the same time, it was a strange sensation, and it got her curious. Stella: Hey Qiangwei, what''s that? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, you are awake, well, this is a really special flame made from the most cold ice and the hottest fire, I called it ''World Eating Flames''... Stella: World... Eating Flames? Why? Xiao Qiangwei: because those flames, could burn litterally anything existing, if it was big enough, it could reduce a world in nothing, earth, water, air, even magma or fire itself would be burned away from this flame. Stella: Woah... That''s so incredible... Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, I was so proud of myself when I created it. Stella: how did you do it? Xiao Qiangwei just extended both of his hands forward in front of her, in one hand there was a Golden Flame, while in the other there was a miniature of an Ice Tree, Stella felt cold in one side of the body and hot in the other side, then Xiao Qiangwei slowly moved the two elements towards each other. And instead of seeing the ice melting or the fire turning off, the fire feed itself of the ice tree and with some control over it, the flames turned sky blue and the ice tree disappeared inside the fire, leaving only the World Eating Flames in Xiao Qiangwei''s hand, and Stella had stars in her eyes after watching this majestic show. Stella: Incredible... Xiao Qiangwei: It was really hard in the start since I was litterally breaking the universal laws, but thanks to my ''Noble Art'', I could do it with some time and concentration. Stella and Xiao Qiangwei smiled but the moment was ruined from a small earthquake. Stella: An earthquake?! Xiao Qiangwei: ...No, I think it is the giant... 67 The Strongest of Hagun Academy Xiao Qiangwei got up and tried to feel something, until he seen a giant humanoid mass of magic right in front of the house, and had its arms upwards, wanting to smash the shelter, Xiao Qiangwei got wide eyes until he created a barrier of ice that covered Stella too, and in that moment the shelter was destroyed, leaving the barrier unscathered. Stella was watching the newly revealed stone giant while Xiao Qiangwei melted the ice, then the giant prepared to punch him, but Xiao Qiangwei used his own punch at it, shattering its arm, the giant stumbled some steps back and then gained balance, meanwhile the pieces of the giant''s arm attacked to themelves, forming other smaller stone golems. Xiao Qiangwei: if pure strength doesn''t work, then I''ll just burn everything... Stella: eh? Then Xiao Qiangwei used again the World Eating Flames against a golem, and it started burning, when it finished burning, something invisible catched fire and the fire went towards another golem. Stella: Is that... Xiao Qiangwei: It started burning the magic that was connected with it. Stella: It can burn pure magic too?! Meanwhile the fire was going forward and burned a bigger golem, who then passed the fire at the other little golems, and burned them to nothingless, but there was still a magic thread that was on fire, and it continued towards the unknown [some hours later] The fire was in front of a clown who couldn''t shake it off from his thread, the clown catched fire too, and died while screaming. [present] Xiao Qiangwei took Stella in his arms and left while using his golden flames to evaporate the incoming rain, but before he could take another step, a worried Touka came. Touka: Qiangwei, Stella, are you two ok? Xiao Qiangwei: yes, we even killed the giant, it was manipulated from someone and he died too from my flames. Touka: Flames? Xiao Qiangwei: I want it to stay as a surprise until we fight. Touka pouted and then she took Xiao Qiangwei and Stella towards the house where the Student Council should be. [1 month later] They were back at the Academy since the situation is resolved, and the fights started again, every single opponent of Xiao Qiangwei weren''t present thinking that the victory was impossible to achieve. But now, there was the finals, between the officially strongest student, Touka, and the Evil God, Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, Nene, Kurono and Nana''s master, Nangou. Ikki: Who do you think would win? Stella: Obviously Qiangwei. Nangou heard them and was curious, so he asked. Nangou: this Qiangwei, is he your friend? Ikki: yes, he is. Nangou: Then, little girl, why are you so sure that he would win? Stella: There are two reasons, The first is because I seen his strength once, and it was enormous, the second is... Why should I doubt the strength of my boyfriend? Nangou: hahahahaha... I like your behavior, well then, let''s watch the fight. "Attention, everyone. It is time for the match between contender Touka Toudou and contender Xiao Qiangwei. Are you guys hyped?!" Everyone: YEAH!! "Then let''s start the match!" Xiao Qiangwei and Touka summoned their Devices, and Touka already started rushing at him with the trackless steps, but Xiao Qiangwei could clearly see them so he extended his arm forward and blocked her sword, shocking her. Then he grabbed the sword with the other hand, but she used her lightning and covered the sword, but unexpectedly from everyone except Stella, Ikki, Shizuhu, Kurono and Nene, the lightning didn''t do nothing at him, instead Xiao Qiangwei smirked, and used the hand with which he blocked before, to punch at her stomach, she spit some saliva and flew some dozen of meters away before gaining balance. But when she stabilized in the ground, she seen that Xiao Qiangwei was already near her and slashed at her with his claws, she was fast enough to dodge the slash by moving to the sides, and heard a sound behind her. When she turned, she seen that the part of the arena behind her had deep slash marks that were going forward for a dozen of meters, made from the force of Xiao Qiangwei''s claws. The spectators had wide eyes from this show of power, even more so Touka, who was challenging someone who had this type of power, but she instinctively raised her sword and paired another claw from Xiao Qiangwei, that made her fly away and crash at the arena''s wall. Nangou: Oh? He''s really strong... If he would be given a decade, he might be the strongest Blazer... Hey Nene, what was his Noble Art? Nene: He said it was ''Element Domination'', it permits him to control as he wishes any element and be immune from it, but... Nangou: But what? Nene: I don''t think that it ends here, and he doesn''t use magic... Nangou: so he is a martial artist? It certainly explain his Intent-infused Claws, but I never seen someone like him, I wonder who is his master... Meanwhile Touka got out from the wall and enchanted herself with her lightning, making her incredibly fast, and slashed at Xiao Qiangwei, who had difficulty to see her, and after some seconds of continuous slashes at lightning speed, and for the first time, Xiao Qiangwei got a really small cut(he isn''t using the seven gates), shocking him, Stella, Ikki and Shizuhu. Xiao Qiangwei passed from shock to a grin that spreaded in his face Xiao Qiangwei: I think I should stop play... Then he concentrated profound energy inside him and took a deep breath. Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Gravity. Then Touka felt an incredibly weight on her, and stopped moving, but when she looked at Xiao Qiangwei, she seen that he was unharmed in any shape and form, his small injury should have been already healed, and seen that he swinged his arm at the right, and she moved at her right too and crashed with the arena''s wall, Xiao Qiangwei just swinged his arm left and right until he couldn''t mantain his domain anymore and stopped. Touka had bruises everywhere but she still slowly walked towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was unharmed, but she fell to the ground. Everyone was in silence due to the one sided fight that happened now and the ''Noble Art'' of Xiao Qiangwei. "He... Contender Xiao Qiangwei won.... The Evil God won the selection, will partecipate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and will be the new ''Strongest of Hagun Academy''!!" Stella, Ikki and Shizuku cheered for Xiao Qiangwei while Nene, Kurono and Nangou stood in silence while smiling. Nangou: I was wrong... He might be already the strongest... Kurono: yeah... Nene: I wonder what he will do in the fight agaist me... Nangou: A fight between you two? Nene: yes, if I win, he will say everything about his powers, if he win, I will teach him the Trackless Step. Nangou: Then I will come to see it too, it will be surely an interesting fight... 68 Xiao Qiangwei vs Nene Saikyo [later] Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki, Stella, Kanata and other 3 people were over a platform, standing in front of many people. Kurono: Now then, we begin the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival appointment ceremony. First-year A-Rank, Stella Vermillion. Third-Year B-Rank, Kanata Toutokubara. Third-Year C-Rank, Kikyou Hagure. First-Year D-Rank, Nagi Arisuin... Is absent due to other business. First-Year F-Rank, Ikki Kurogane. And... First-Year A-Rank, Xiao Qiangwei. These six are officially recognized as our Hagun Academy representatives to the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival! Everyone clapped at him while the group at the platform smiled with pride. Kurono: Next, we will present the captain of the representatives. The one whose name is called, step forward. Our captain will be First-Year A-Rank Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei stepped forward. Kurono: To continue, the team captain will receive the school flag. Then Touka came with the flag, she had still some injuries that are recovering, but she seemed stable. Xiao Qiangwei: Well... Sorry for the beatings... Touka: It''s nothing much, probably I would have continued to fight if you didn''t make me unconscious. Now, carry our flag towards the victory! Xiao Qiangwei: It shall be done. then he grabbed the flag and raised it with a proud smile, then he said. Xiao Qiangwei: Many would think that we would win, while someone might think that we will lose again, but I swear in front of the Earth and the Sky, that I will beat everyone who wants to take this flag away from us, shove it in the butt of the other schools, and win! Everyone: YYYEEEEEAAAHHH! [later] Xiao Qiangwe and Stella were walking in an empty plain, and seemed to wait for someone, until to the other side appeared Nene and Nangou. Nene: Well, well, well... It seems that you came. Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, Stella, you go to the sides, it will be dangerous here... Stella nodded and walked to the side, while Nangou walked towards her. Nangou: so, how do you feel about this? Stella: like I said before, I can''t doubt the strength of my boyfriend, I am sure he will win this fight too. Nangou: Hahahaha... This will be hard to say, unless Xiao Qiangwei has a trick on his sleeves, he couldn''t beat Nene. Stella: We will see... Nene and Xiao Qiangwei were watching each other, until they deployed their Devices and smiled. Nene: It will be a bit hard since I can''t use my Noble Art on you... But I will do my best, I hope you will do so too. Xiao Qiangwei: don''t worry, I will never go easy against someone like you, Desperados. Stella: Desperados? Nangou: It''s nothing important now... Let the fight start! Then Xiao Qiangwei and Nene rushed at each other, and claw clashed with fan, creating a shockwave, Xiao Qiangwei had a bit of difficulty while Nene was excited to fight someone equal to her. Then she disappeared from his vision and stood behind, ready to slash at his back, but Xiao Qiangwei''s reflexes were fast enough to bend his chest forward and raise a leg towards her, almost hitting her but interrupting her attack. Then they rushed again at each other and clashed again, and continued like this. Xiao Qiangwei had difficulty blocking Nene''s hits since she was unpredicable, and received some small cuts on his body, but Nene''s body was getting a bit numb due to Xiao Qiangwei''s physical strength. After some dozen of seconds, they separated from each other, then Xiao Qiangwei used the Record of the Burning World against her while she used her gravity manipulation to dodge or move away the flames from her, then she concentrated the gravity behind her to give her a boost, and slashed at Xiao Qiangwei, her fans cut the flesh, but they couldn''t scratch his bones. But Xiao Qiangwei seemed still full of stamina and rushed at her now that she had her back at him, and gave a punch at her, making her fly away. Nene balanced herself and breathed while Xiao Qiangwei stood there while being injured and had a little smile. Meanwhile Stella had wide eyes from the fight. Stella: Wow... They''re so strong... Nene: it is a really good fight, Qiangwei, but this isn''t enough to beat me! Then she runned at Xiao Qiangwei while she grinned. But Xiao Qiangwei just smirked. Xiao Qiangwei: if it isn''t enough, let''s just raise it of a notch! Then he used ''Burning Heart'', shocking Nene and Nangou from the sudden boost of Xiao Qiangwei, and then he disappeared from his position and appeared over Nene, kicking her on the back, and making a crater under her while she had wide eyes from his strength. Then he started an attack rush under him, his punches were fast and didn''t let Nene recover herself, meanwhile from Stella and Nangou''s point of view, they seen a giant cloud of dirt, that covered the fight. After a dozen of seconds, Xiao Qiangwei was breathing heavily due to the energy he used for this attack, then he deactivated ''Burning Heart'' and supported himself on his knees while Stella runned towards him to help and Nangou walked towards the just-defeated Nene. Nangou: Nene Saikyo is unconscious, Xiao Qiangwei won the fight, congratulations, brat. Xiao Qiangwei: heh... thank you, old man. Nangou: well, when she wakes up she will teach you the Trackless Steps, you will be alright with her, she may be... Childish... But she can teach really good. I seen some pretty interesting things, I am taking my leave now. Xiao Qiangwei: Bye, old man. Then Nangou walkedaway from the scene while Xiao Qiangwei used the Great Way of the Buddha to recover himself, much to the shock of Stella from his speed of recovery. [later] Xiao Qiangwei recovered himself from some time, and Stella was at the dorm because she was tired, meanwhile Nene just woke up and noticed Xiao Qiangwei. Nene: So I lost? Xiao Qiangwei: yep, you couldn''t handle my attack rush, are you ok? Nene: yeah, well, a promise is a promise, I will teach you the Trackless Steps tomorrow. Xiao Qiangwei: mh, then I will take my leave... Nene: are you sure? Don''t you want to stay for a bit of time with me? Xiao Qiangwei: I appreciate the idea of having multiple girls, but I don''t think Stella want it, so I will leave you alone, bye. Nene: bye. 69 Trackless Steps [2 weeks later] Xiao Qiangwei and the rest of the Team Hagun, made from the people who won the battle selection and the student council, were at Kyomon Academy''s training camp. They were sparring for training, but since Xiao Qiangwei couldn''t train with them because he was too strong, he decided to improve with Cultivation, and in 1 week he would enter the 3rd Tyrant Profound Realm. Then Ikki came to Xiao Qiangwei, who opened an eye, and asked. Ikki: Hey Qiangwei, are you busy now? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I don''t have anything to do, what do you need? Ikki: I would like to spar with you. Everyone from Team Hagun stopped moving and stood in silence while turning to the two of them. Xiao Qiangwei smiled and got up from the lotus pose. Xiao Qiangwei: I accept. then everyone got at the sides and watched Ikki and Xiao Qiangwei walking over the arena. Then both of them deployed their devices and then Ikki talked. Ikki: I would like you to be a bit serious at me. Xiao Qiangwei: you asked for it. then the fight started and Xiao Qiangwei was suddenly in front of Ikki and punched at his stomach, making him immediately unconscious, meanwhile everyone stood in silence from the ''fight'' that happened just now until Touka talked. Touka: Is... Is that Trackless Step?! Xiao Qiangwei: Yep, it was a bit difficult getting lessons from Nene but I can use it now... [flashback] Nene and Xiao Qiangwei were alone in the forest where they fought, Xiao Qiangwei used his Evil God Domain: Earth to fix the place. And then she started explaining with a smile. Nene: Trackless Step is a technique where the user combines their breath control and their footwork, to close the distance between them and their target. It actually doesn''t increase the users speed, but makes their movements difficult to perceive as dangerous and lets them seep into their opponents unconsciousness. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and was surprised from such technique made only of footwork and Breathing, if he could implement his Profound Energy, then he was sure that he could make it a technique comparable to the Star God''s Broken Shadow of the Heavenly Star Chief God, and put it in his ''Three Steps to the Throne''. Then he concentrated again at Nene, who talked again. Nene: Look, if you can... then she made appear a metal fan, that was her device, and disappeared from Xiao Qiangwei''s vision, and reflexively held a palm towards a random direction, and seen a metal fan that was near his neck, but when he turned towards Nene, she was blushing a bit while smiling because his hand was on her undeveloped left breast. Then Xiao Qiangwei slowly removed the hand and looked at it, then made a little grabbing gesture, and glanced at Nene with a blank look. Xiao Qiangwei: Small. that word violently pierced right at Nene''s heart and made her stumble back while she had an hand over her heart Nene: it hurts... Later she recovered from the verbal attack from Xiao Qiangwei and started teaching him with practice, since in the entire Primal Chaos Dimension no one had the concept of entering in the unconsciousness, like Nene said, it was more difficult than other people doing it. Sometimes Nene would make a sexual innuendo about his almost infinite stamina, but Xiao Qiangwei ignored her, most of the times. But sometimes he would blush heavily, making Nene satisfied from succeeding at teasing him. In 3 weeks, he could use it, making Nene surprised, and the last week was passed with cultivation and improving the Trackless Step. [present] Xiao Qiangwei was walking around with an annoyed Stella, because she lost another time against Touka. Stella: Why I can''t win against her!? Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Stella, I could train you if you want. Stella: Eh? Really? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I will just use my body to attack you and I will lower myself at your level, so you will certainly improve. Stella: hmmmm.... Yeah, thank you Qiangwei. then she hugged Xiao Qiangwei''s arm while smiling. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s the least I can do since I was almost always meditating and not helping anyo- BRAAAT! he was interrupted when he heard someone screaming and threw away a kid from his arm that had a survival knife that was pointed at the kid. ?: Someone save me!! Xiao Qiangwei just used his Ice Phoenix''s arts to freeze almost the man''s entire body except for the head. Then Xiao Qiangwei and Stella turned to the kid, that apparently from his clothes, he was a Blazer, and walked towards him. Xiao Qiangwei: are you ok kiddo? ?: Y-yeah, thank you... then he got up and when he looked at who was talking at, he got stars in his eyes and started talking. Amane: X-Xiao Qiangwei?! Is that really you?! Xiao Qiangwei narrowed his eyes and asked. Xiao Qiangwei: How do you know my name? ?: It''s you! I know we haven''t met, but I am an huge fan of the Evil God! Xiao Qiangwei/Stella: Eh? Amane: I am a First-Year at Kyomon Academy, Amane Shinomiya and I''m a Seven Stars Sword Art Festival Representative! [later] They were in a caf¨¨ to eat something, and Amane offered himself to pay for the food. Xiao Qiangwei: are you sure to pay for it? I don''t care much about money so I can spend some here. Amane: it''s the least I can do for someone who saved my life. Stella: so, what do you like of Qiangwei? You said you were a fan. Amane: I like his strength, he''s so strong that half of his contenders weren''t even present, I downloaded all of his fights, and seeing that there were less than 2/3 of other people, I could deduce that others were afraid after your 9th fight, and your last fight was even more epic! The best part was when you flung your opponent left and right, you were so cool, with that unfazed face, and used your Noble Art to defeat her. Then the chilling feeling your expression released when the fight ended... It made my back shiver even when it was just a video! Xiao Qiangwei: ''What the fuck?'' 70 No one fucking touches my Beer!! [tomorrow] Amane needed to leave so he said bye to Stella and Xiao Qiangwei, but the latter had a bad feeling about him, it was as his instincts were saying that he should stay away from him. Right now they were in the bus towards the academy, and were talking about Stella''s spars against Touka, so she started eating some snickers bar, and when she said she wouldn''t get fat, a girl in the seat in front of her got incredibly jealous. Kikyo: I''m sure you have a potbelly hidden under her clothes¡­ Stella: How rude, I don''t have a potbelly. My constitution just colle- Xiao Qiangwei: WHO''S THE FUCKER?!?! She was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei yelled. [1 minute ago/Hagun Academy] There was chaos everywhere, and the academy started going on fire, meanwhile Ouma Kurogane, someone of the Akatsuki, the responsible of all this, entered in Xiao Qiangwei''s room, opened the refrigerator, and found many packs of good quality beer. Ouma: I don''t think that the owner would hate me for this... He was a bit thirsty so he opened one, and drank it, in that right moment, he found himself locked in an incredibly strong killing intent, easily surpassing the one of Amane, it almost made him tremble, but he stood stoic and searched everywhere but didn''t found nothing, until... *CRASH* [back] Stella: Hey Qiangwei, what happened? Xiao Qiangwei had a really angry expression and released a dark aura, scaring everyone. Xiao Qiangwei: Someone drank my beer... Everyone on the bus: *Gasp* Everyone knew about his love for his own beer, just under the love for his friends and his own mother, and the only person that had permission to drink it was Stella, showing that he really loves her more than his beer. So just touching his refrigerator was a taboo since someone who was enraged from his loss against Xiao Qiangwei, had the ''good'' idea to destroy his supply of beer, when Xiao Qiangwei found out about it. He immediately found the responsible, and litterally stopped existing. Since that day, no one in the world knew about what happened to him, someone says he died, while Others thinks that he disappeared from the world, but only Xiao Qiangwei knew, he used the World Eating Flames at him when no one seen it. Now Xiao Qiangwei got out from the bus and flew towards the academy, and seen it was on fire, but he didn''t cared much, he just locked the target to his dorm and flew as fast as possible there and crashed through the roof and entered in the room. Then he looked at the culprit and found a young man with long black hair and an X-shaped scar across his face and in his hand there was his beer opened. Xiao Qiangwei: SON OF A BITCH, DON''T TOUCH MY BEER!!!! Then he used his device and slashed at Ouma with his claws, while he instinctively deployed his nodachi to block the hit, and creating a big shockwave, Ouma was surprised from the strength of Xiao Qiangwei, that made his arm a bit numb and move his feet of some centimeters. Xiao Qiangwei didn''t retracted his claw, used ''Evil Soul'', and applied even more force, shocking Ouma and making him fly at the wall and destroy it. When Ouma fell in the ground outside the dorm, he stood in his feet and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with a serious expression. Ouma: Finally a strong opponent... Then he directly used his Tenryuu Armor, and jumped at Xiao Qiangwei at his full speed while trying to slash at him with the nodachi, but he easily dodged and charged a punch at Ouma''s face. Ouma used his Wind Manipulation to slow down the punch, but he was surprised when it didn''t have any effect on it and the punch hit right on Ouma''s face, sending him fly away in a sonic speed and crashing in a building. Meanwhile the rest of the students arrived at the Hagun Academy just in time to see someone crash in a nearby building, some seconds later a figure got out from the hole, and Ikki was surprised to see his brother with blood that was trailing down from his nose. Ikki: ''Don''t tell me...'' He was interrupted from his thoughts when 5 figures appeared in front of them, it was the remaining members of the Akatsuki, that were secretly dummies, the sixth, which was real, was rushing back at Xiao Qiangwei while the seventh is dead because of the mentioned person. Ouma was rushing back at Xiao Quangwei and when he seen where he was, he was surprised when he appeared directly in front of him. Ouma: ''Trackless Steps?! How can he be so fast?!'' Then Ouma created a barrier around them and erased the oxygen in it, but Xiao Qiangwei ignored it and sent a kick at his stomach, that penetrated his air armor without any resistance and connected with him, making him spit saliva and break a few of ribs. Ouma started heavily breathing, and grabbed his own stomach while watching Xiao Qiangwei who had a cold expression and red eyes, made from the ''Evil Soul''. Xiao Qiangwei: If I see you again touching my beer, I will break your legs. Then he left Ouma and walked towards the fight at the gates of the academy, but was interrupted from a voice. Ouma: Wait! Xiao Qiangwei stopped walking and turned towards him, and seen that he still had his nodachi in his hands, even if his hands were trembling. Ouma: I finally have a worthy opponent, I can''t let you go! If I defeat you¡­ I may be strong eno- Xiao Qiangwei: ''Dragon God Domain''ROOOOAAAAARRRRR He was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei''s figure was swapped with that of an azure eastern dragon so big he couldn''t see where his body ended, who roared at him with all his might, making Ouma letting go his nodachi, and slowly fell on his knees powerless while sweating cold and had a shocked face. Xiao Qiangwei: I may be a strong opponent for you, but you and the other A-class Blazers in this planet are equally worthless in front of me... Even if you are 3 times stronger than you are right now, I can still beat you. Now I will leave¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei left Ouma and walked towards the group, who was fighting the remaining members of the Akatsuki. 71 Edelweisss Appearance Xiao Qiangwei then walked at the fight, and was surprised to see Amane fighting against Team Hagun, so he started talking. Xiao Qiangwei: Whoever thought that someone like you was with them... Amane. everyone stopped fighting and looked at him, everyone had different reactions about his sudden presence. The Team Hagun were elated to know he was unharmed, Ikki was surprised because from the direction he came from, it was him that fought his brother, and knowing that he is unharmed means that he won in a fight, Stella was happy because they could win and that his boyfriend was safe. Meanwhile at the Akatsuki''s side, they had their own reaction, Sara Bloodlily, was shocked from the perfect body he had because she wanted to picture one from a long time, Yui Tatara was wary of him due to the same reason of Ikki, Rinna Kazamatsuri didn''t care much about him, but her lion that she was riding backed away from him, and Amane Shinomiya started smiling from his words. Amane: Ohh, so you are there, I wondered why you weren''t in the bus... Xiao Qiangwei: it was because that long haired fucker touched my beer, no one fucking touches my beer without permission! This shocked the Akatsuki, knowing who he was talking about, so everyone decided to escape from him, but Xiao Qiangwei took a sprint forward but was intercepted from a maid who created a barrier between he and the Akatsuki. Xiao Qiangwei then punched the barrier while being in ''Evil Soul'', but only made some cracks over it, shocking the Akatsuki again. Xiao Qiangwei punched again the barrier while the maid added many more layers at the barrier, but using the Colossal Fist of the King and Falling Moon Sinking Star which completely destroyed those barriers and his punch connected with the maid''s chest, making her fly against Rinne, who fell from the lion with a yelp and crashed in a wall. Then Xiao Qiangwei evilly smirked and charged again at the Akatsuki, they decided that they couldn''t leave so they decided to stun him for a moment so they could leave. Sara tried to create a clone of him, but she unexpectedly used all of her magic for it, and was successfully created, then the clone of Xiao Qiangwei rushed at the original while preparing a fist at him. But the original raised his power of a notch, using Burning Heart, and directly beheaded the clone, shocking everyone else from his sudden increase of power, then Xiao Qiangwei used his Golden Crow''s flames against them, but Yui intercepted them with her chainsaw, and reflected them backwards. Xiao Qiangwei was still running at them without stopping, and when he clashed with the flames, they just passed through him, without blocking his way. Now it was Amane''s turn, who created hands through his dark aura with the intent of killing him, but Xiao Qiangwei used his Devil Origin Orb and started having a scary aura around him, and when his aura got in contact with the hands. [play Run-Awolnation(official) from 1:57] The latter disintegrated and made Amane yelp and run with as much speed he could muster. Meanwhile Team Hagun was watching everything with a disbeliefing look, they did as hard they could to fight them, and then Xiao Qiangwei came and easily overpowered them one after another. Then Yui decided to take a risk and used Astral Force at him, Xiao Qiangwei''s instincts screamed and reflexively used Sealing Cloud Locking Sun, and blocked her attack, during the moment everyone were distracted from this clash, the maid of Rinne left and picked up Ouma and Alice, then she left with Rinne and everyone else. At the end of the attack, the Akatsuki was already gone, leaving an incredibly tired Xiao Qiangwei, the Falling Moon Sinking Star and Sealing Cloud Locking Sun consumed much energy, so he is too tired to follow them and took deep breaths. Stella runned towards him and supported him Stella: Are you ok? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, it''s just energy consuption... then Stella took him over the bus and met with Ikki and Shizuku, who wanted to drive towards Akatsuki Academy to save Alice, which Shizuku became friends with for some time. While he was inside the bus, he meditated to get back some energy, and by the time they arrived at the Akatsuki Academy, Xiao Qiangwei gained enough energy to fight at his fullest. Then they four left from the bus and ran towards the Akatsuki Academy until they felt a sudden oppression over them, but Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t affected from it, instead he flared his own aura and smirked. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Interesting. Someone who could give me a real fight!'' Xiao Qiangwei, Stella and Ikki looked up and found a valkyrie-like woman over the main building of the Akatsuki Academy, who had a raised eyebrow from the energy flared from Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Guys, go... I will take her on. Stella, Ikki and Shizuku trusted him and go, while the woman tried to intercept them with a slash, but Xiao Qiangwei blocked her slash, surprising her, then they fell on the ground on their feet. Edelweiss: What is your name? Xiao Qiangwei answered with respect and a smile. Xiao Qiangwei: This one''s is surnamed Xiao and named Qiangwei, what is the lady''s name? Edelweiss: My name is Edelweiss, I am surprised from your strength... Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: well, I needed it to protect the people I love, otherwise I might as well not even put a foot over Hagun Academy, I hope you are willingly to exchange pointers with this Xiao... Edelweiss: Sure, I want to see your might. Then Edelweiss unleashed her full aura, the ground under her cracked, the plants around were destroyed, but Xiao Qiangwei was unaffected, and surprisingly smiled. Then Xiao Qiangwei used ''Burning Heart'' and unleashed his own aura, that matched with hers, stunning her a bit, and then smiled too. Then both disappeared, appeared in front of each others and clashed, creating a big crater under them. 72 Respect for Each Other When their attack ended, they jumped away from each other, and then Edelweiss rushed at him and attacked with both of her swords against him in continuous slashes, while Xiao Qiangwei responded with similar speed and paired all of her hits, and every clashes made an heavy sound of metal against metal. This continued for some moments until a crater was formed under them from the strength of the clashes, it continued to get bigger and bigger until after some seconds, Xiao Qiangwei decided to throw an attack himself and she blocked it with a sword. Then she used her other sword to slice him, but he used his other claw to block it, they were watching at each other''s eyes with a smile, until they separated and got away from each other of 2 meters. Xiao Qiangwei: You are really strong, but it will not be enough to win¡­ Edelweiss: Yes, I know¡­ For this I will use my 100% against you¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: It will be useless... Then they clashed again, but this time Xiao Qiangwei was pushed a bit back little by little, and Edelweiss became a bit faster than before, making some cuts over Xiao Qiangwei''s body, but he didn''t care and continued to block the hits he could pair. Until Edelweiss made a last slash at him with both her swords with as much strength she could muster. The hit was blocked as well, but it made Xiao Qiangwei back away of some meters. Edelweiss: So, what was useless? Xiao Qiangwei: In the fight¡­ You showed me your 100%, since I respect you, I will start to show my true, unfortunately I could hold it for a really short time, around 1 or 2 seconds, watch. Edelweiss was surprised from his declaration and prepared herself and concentrated at Xiao Qiangwei, who smiled and then took a deep breath before yelling¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Rumbling Heaven!!!! Then in that instant, his now scarlet aura released a big explosion and rushed wildly everywhere, greatly shocking Edelweiss and the others in the Akatsuki Academy in that moment, while everyone nearby felt that unstoppable power and started trembling. Before Edelweiss could recover from this, Xiao Qiangwei was in front of Edelweiss. Edelweiss: ''Trackless Steps? No¡­ This is pure speed!!'' And Xiao Qiangwei threw a normal fist at her, breaking her ribs and making her fly across the street at supersonic speed and crashing in the Akatsuki Academy with a loud noise, but it didn''t stop there, she continued to crash through several buildings, which slowly started falling, and fell unconscious. While Xiao Qiangwei immediately deactivated Rumbling Heaven, and puked a big amount of blood, his muscles greatly hurt him, and were on the verge of breaking, while his bones cracked under the pressure. But he was satisfied about the results of opening the fourth gate, he could use it for a full second before he dies. Then he sat down in the lotus pose, and used his Great Way of the Buddha to heal himself, since it was a great opportunity. From his past life, the best method to cultivate Great Way of the Buddha was to heal his own body from damage, the bigger the damage, the bigger the profit. Thanks to this selfish show of power, there was a really small possibility he could breakthrough and enter the fourth stage, which would give him 50 tons of arm strength, a stronger body and a better regeneration. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was still meditating, and Stella, Ikki, Shizuku and Alice arrived in front of him, they seen a big pool of blood in front of Xiao Qiangwei and his mouth dirty with blood, telling them that he puked it, Stella was incredibly worried and hugged him. But when she came in contact with him, she could feel a big power inside him that was recovering his injuries. So everyone decided to take him back while he was in a lotus pose, to not disturb him. [4 days later] 4 days, this was the time needed for Xiao Qiangwei to heal himself at his 100%, and he even entered the fourth stage, which gave him an arm strength of 50 tons, when he opened his eyes, he noticed that he wasn''t anymore over the destroyed road, but was over his bed. Xiao Qiangwei just shrugged and got up from the bed and looked around, there wasn''t Stella, and the room was a bit destroyed, but fortunately his refrigerator was there, he got one of the remaining beers and drank it. Some minutes later, Stella entered the room and when she seen Xiao Qiangwei drinking a can of beer, she jumped at him and hugged him with a sweet smile. Stella: Finally you are up... I was so worried when I saw you and a pool of blood in front of you... Xiao Qiangwei smiled and patted her head. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok... I am ok, and I am even incredibly stronger than before, so it will be hard to hurt me now. Stella: And how much strong do you want to be? You already beaten the strongest swordswoman in the world. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, you knew that I had around an arm strength of 30 tons, right? Stella: Yes. Xiao Qiangwei: Just now it became around 80 tons (Dragon Bloodline gives an additional 30%-50% of the total and 2nd tyrant realm 10 tons) Stella: ...Eh? Stella was shocked from this sudden increase, now he could even be classified as the strongest Blazer ever existed. But she shook her head and said. Stella: forget it... Kurono wanted to see you and the others, let''s go. Xiao Qiangwei curiously nodded and walked at the office with Stella. 73 Thank you, Qiangwei, for everything you did for me... The entire group that was at the Akatsuki Academy was now at Kurono''s office, she bowed at them and said. Kurono: I''m sorry. Ikki: No, there''s no reason for you to apologize, Chairman. Shizuku: Yes. But it''s astonishing, isn''t it? That that was such a thing hidden out of sight in this country. Kurono: It''s been smoldering ever since the end of the second world war. Xiao Qiangwei: ...What? Kurono: However, it was an act that relinquished the privileges of a powerful nation. Even though the Prime Minister at the time forced the country to move toward international harmony, the discord from that era still remains even now. There were people who believed Japan had the power to remain a major country without joining the likes of Russia and America. There were those who thought about reforming. And as far as it goes, there were many who thought it a problem that training and disciplining Blazers without the League of Mage-Knight Nations approval would be disallowed. These people had a great deal of influence pushing against creating a branch of the League. Xiao Qiangwei: In short? Kurono: In short, Prime Minister Tsukikage''s scheme was to demonstrate his own accomplishments at where the League hold the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. He shows his accomplishments directly, and takes away the League''s authority to educate Blazers. Xiao Qiangwei: So... From what I know there were originally 7 members of the Akatsuki, what happened to the 7th? everyone started laughing at his question, while he looked cluelessly around and raised an eyebrow. Kurono: Someone said that he was burned from sky blue flames to nothingless. Xiao Qiangwei: Wait what? So I just killed one of them without even knowing? Then they really sucks... Ikki: Sorry if we have an human limit. Xiao Qiangwei: you should say sorry for that training shedule you are doing, that thing will never help you, if you double the difficulty of that maybe you can be even stronger. Ikki just sighed helplessly and then listened to Kurono, but before she could talk, Stella interrupted. Stella: can we still partecipate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival? Everyone smiled while Kurono took a cigarette and answered her. Kurono: yes, you guys can... But Nagi Arisuin, Kanata Toutokubara and Kikyo Hagure decided to withdraw, so you three, Stella Vermillion, Ikki Kurogane, and Xiao Qiangwei, are the ones who want to partecipate, and think that with an A-rank Blazer, someone who could be on par with an A-rank Blazer, and the Evil God, who won against the Twin-Wings Edelweiss, we can win. Stella: I would say we ''will'' win. Ikki: eh? Are you really so sure? Stella: if you knew about Qiangwei you would know... Everyone looked at Xiao Qiangwei curiously and then he said with a normal tone. Xiao Qiangwei: my arm strength almost triplicated today, right now it is 80 tons. At this news, everyone froze and Kurono''s cigarette fell from her mouth, then everyone looked at Xiao Qiangwei with wide eyes. Almost everyone: Eh?! Kurono: *sigh* you know what? Fuck this shit, Shizuku, do you want to partecipate instead of the ones who retired? Shizuku just nodded dumbly, still in shock from Xiao Qiangwei''s news and Kurono started writing in some documents. Kurono: you can go. Then they left while being dumbfounded, leaving Kurono alone. When they were outside, Ikki and Shizune left without saying a word, while Xiao Qiangwei looked at Stella. Xiao Qiangwei: well, Stella, let''s start our training. Stella: eh? Right now? Xiao Qiangwei: yep. then he took her in a princess carry and flew in the forest he would usually go. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, now come at me with everything you have. Stella nodded and then summoned her device and rushed at him, who just used his limbs to block and touch her bodyparts, telling her that she would been hit, he limited himself to a normal A-rank, and slowly got stronger, making it hard for Stella to hit him. Xiao Qiangwei: Go faster and hit stronger! Use your Noble Art for your advantage! Stella: Yes! Stella then covered the area around them with big flames, obviously they couldn''t harm him, but it blocked a bit his vision, and then je felt Stella attacking him from behind, since he didn''t use any profound energy, he didn''t sensed her, Stella was satisfied for her accomplishment, but a moment later she found Xiao Qiangwei''s palm in front of her. Xiao Qiangwei: that''s good, even if I am immune to fire, you could use it against me. Then he snapped his fingers and the flames were swapped with a field of ice, and snow started falling. Stella was tired and sat on the ground, then admired the scenery in front of her with Xiao Qiangwei, who sat beside her. Xiao Qiangwei: do you like it? Stella leaned her body to his, with her head on his shoulder, and hummed in approval with a smile, then she started thinking about her first day at school until now. The first scene was when Xiao Qiangwei opened the door of their room and seen her in underwear, then it was their first fight and his cold expression, that face then had a smile and they were at their room, shacking their hands. Then the scene changed to that of a shopping center and Xiao Qiangwei hugged her while being worried for her wellbeing, after that, the scenery changed to that of the dorm, where Xiao Qiangwei released an incredibly dark aura, surpassing that of death itself, scaring her a bit, but the scene suddenly changed to the one that was in front of a gargantuan crater and Xiao Qiangwei kissed her, it was the most beautiful memory she had. Then the scenery changed to that of the day they were in front of a dojo, and Xiao Qiangwei froze all of the men that were annoying her, after that, they were inside a small house, and Stella was almost naked, Xiao Qiangwei was giving her a sweet smile, the last scene she remembered was the one where Xiao Qiangwei was almost dying, but was in a lotus pose with closed eyes, and his body was recovering. Then she looked at Xiao Qiangwei, who was looking at the snow. Stella: thank you, for everything you done for me... Xiao Qiangwei turned at her with a smile, but she just hugged him and kissed him in the , surprising him a bit, but he didn''t resist, and took out his tongue, twisting together with her tongue. Then Xiao Qiangwei slowly lowered his hands on her body, but she didn''t do anything to stop him, giving him the signal, and started ''it''. 74 The REALLY short meeting between Xiao Qiangwei and Ouma Kurogane [9 days later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were leaving from the forest, after ''that'' moment, and some hours of rest, Stella and Xiao Qiangwei fought again, and Stella was surprised from how much stronger she became, if she would compare her current strength, it would be just like Xiao Qiangwei''s strength without ''Evil Soul'' before the fight with Edelweiss. She knew of the seven gates from Xiao Qiangwei, who decided it was not anymore a problem and explained her the seven gates, and told her to hide it as his second ''Noble Art'', and when she knew about it, she prohibited Xiao Qiangwei to use ''Rumbling Heaven'' unless it is necessary. When she used her flames against him, she was shocked that her flames became golden, just like her man''s flames, while Xiao Qiangwei smiled. After a week of training, Xiao Qiangwei was sure that she could go on par with Ikki''s brother, Ouma. Meanwhile he broke through the 2nd Tyrant realm, and entered the 3rd realm becoming even stronger. Two days ago they met with Ikki and Shizuku, left for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and made a party for every school there. Many things happened there, from the meeting with the Akatsuki, to when Yui gave a roasted chicken full of razors and sharp things at Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki noticed this and tried to stop Xiao Qiangwei, but the latter just eaten the chicken as if it was normal, and didn''t have any problems. Meanwhile there were noises about scratching and breaking metals from his mouth, making everyone wide eyes when he took out a metal ball from his mouth and left it on the plate, shocking both Ikki and Yui, who started trembling from fear, and silently left with the plate. And now they were inside the arena, Ouma started partecipating after knowing that Xiao Qiangwei was inside too, and was in the arena waiting for his opponent, which was a black coated man, unrecognizable from almost everyone. "contender Ouma Kurogane from Akatsuki Academy, will fight against conten-" Ouma didn''t have the patience to wait so he just used his wind manipulation to knock out the black figure, but it didn''t moved, except for the hood, and revealed a familiar figure. Xiao Qiangwei: you though it was someone else, but it was me! Qiangwei! then he appeared in front of Ouma, who was shocked from the revelation, and couldn''t recover from it fast enough that he received a fist in the stomach, breaking many ribs and made him fly at the walls of the arena, unconscious. "c-contender Xiao Qiangwei from Hagun Academy wins..." Everyone stood in silence, and no one dared to make a noise, there was only the whistling of Xiao Qiangwei who walked away, as if he just resolved a simple math problem. Outside the arena he met with the rest of his group, that didn''t cared much about his show of power and congratulated with him. Ikki: congratulations... Who am I kidding, it was obvious you would win. Stella: well, he is my man, it''s normal for him. Xiao Qiangwei: c''mon Ikki, you will have your moment too at the arena. Ikki nodded and hid his emotions regarding his opponent, the Seven Stars Sword King, then he walked at the arena, while being spectated from his friends. [later] Ikki somehow won and Stella, who fought later, won too, now they were eating something at a caf¨¨ to celebrate their victory. Stella: Hey Qiangwei, how was I today? Xiao Qiangwei: you were really good, at controlling your strength. Ikki: wait, so she didn''t got serious? Xiao Qiangwei and Stella laughed at him until Xiao Qiangwei explained. Xiao Qiangwei: Good joke, she is at least as strong as your brother now. Ikki was shocked from the sudden increase of strength of Stella and asked. Ikki: How did you do it?! Stella started heavily blushing while Xiao Qiangwei just told him. Xiao Qiangwei: you would not believe at it... Ikki accepted his answer and started thinking about how it was possible. Since there wasn''t nothing else, the team turned in a room and started sleeping, but before Xiao Qiangwei sleeped, he was interrupted from someone who knocked his door, he raised an eyebrow at this and walked to see who it was, when he opened the door, Sara Bloodlily appeared behind it and asked. Sara: Can I make a paint of you? Xiao Qiangwei: A paint? Sara: yes, you are the perfect nude model for me, I could see it even while you were wearing clothes, and looking af you right now, I am sure that there is no one else with a body like yours. Xiao Qiangwei always slept without a shirt, so it was normal she could analyze his body, and her speech made utter only a word from him. Xiao Qiangwei: ...what? Sara tried to get closer but Xiao Qiangwei closed the door, and walked towards the bed, but was interrupted when he felt so.e magic from the wall beside the door, and it became a door, from which Sara entered. Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* I don''t want to be your model, now leave. Sara: I can''t. Xiao Qiangwei: why? Sara: because I can''t think about anything else apart from your body. Xiao Qiangwei: ''The women in this realm are one worse than another!'' Get out. Sara: no. Xiao Qiangwei: I think I am strong enough for mantaining it for an entire night... Sara was curious from what he meant, and she found out what he was saying some moments after he spoke again. Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God Realm: Darkness. then the entire lodging of Xiao Qiangwei became as dark as a moonless night, Sara couldn''t even see her body, and decided to sleep in his room since she didn''t know where the exit was. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei could see in his own domain and walked in his bed to sleep, using the domain for such things didn''t consume much energy, so he mantained it for the entire night. 75 All vs One [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei woke up and noticed that the room was a bit dark, then he remembered what happened Yesterday so he deactivated his Evil God Domain, making the light enter again in the room. He walked to the bathroom but noticed Sara who was still in the floor, sleeping. But Xiao Qiangwei then ignored her and got in the bathroom to make a shower, then he eaten something and left the room while Sara just woke up. [later] Xiao Qiangwei met with Stella, and left for a walk with her outside the hotel. Stella: So, what do you think about today? Xiao Qiangwei: Disappointing¡­ Stella: Eh? Why? Xiao Qiangwei: Because I became too strong, I want to try something today at the arena¡­ Stella: What? Xiao Qiangwei just smirked while Stella had a bad feeling about it. [later/in the arena] Stella, Ikki and Shizuku were at their seats and were watching the fight with Xiao Qiangwei, the opponent wasn''t announced yet, and it was strange since it was shown at least some hours before the fight, meanwhile the bad feeling in Stella was getting bigger. "Welcome at the second round of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, there will be a really special fight, requested from the contender Xiao Qiangwei, first of all, the other contenders of every blocks needs to enter here" After he said that, everyone glanced at each other and started talking, meanwhile every single contender of every school, Akatsuki and Team Hagun included, entered the arena, no one was absent, so the announcer started talking. "Fortunately everyone is here, now we will start a fight with Xiao Qiangwei against everyone!!" Everyone stood in silence for some moments and looked at Xiao Qiangwei, who just evilly smirked at response. Everyone: EEEEHHHHHH?!! extras: Is that even possible?!/ Why did he wanted to do it?/ Is he underestimating us?/ Oh shit, I finally recognized him, he was the one who fucked up the mansion of Fire Demon gang!/ For real?/ He is looking down at us! Stella: ''Did he really thought about this?! Well, knowing him, he would do it...'' at this moment Xiao Qiangwei heard a familiar voice. Kuraudo: Qiangwei, did your brain die while we didn''t met? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, you are here too. I did this because I was bored. Everyone!! I will even give you an handicap! I will not move for an entire minute!! At those words everyone got angry and accepted his challenge. "Did you guys hear him? Now let''s start the fight! Xiao Qiangwei, surnamed the Evil God, from the Hagun Academy, against every single partecipant from every school, his own school included! Start!!" Then almost everyone used their devices against him, some used directly their Noble Art, and 90% of the partecipants hit him, while the remaining 10% stood there, meanwhile, in a seat far away from the arena, Edelweiss was watching everything with Bakuga Tsukikage, the prime minister and founder of the Akatsuki. She recovered from the fight some days later, and smiled after seeing what he did just now. Edelweiss: It will be useless... Bakuga: What makes you say that? Edelweiss: Because I seen his real strength, and the only thing I can say about it, is that it matches his nickname, he is an Evil God... He''s so strong that he can''t be defeated with simple teamwork or strength alone, his immunity to the elements reduces even more the chances of victory... Then if what ''World Clock'' said was true, right now he could even destroy my device and kill me in one punch. Bakuga: Is he really so strong?! Edelweiss: When we fought, he was able to multiply his strength, and when he ended me he was 2 times stronger than how he was during our fight, and I was going all out in it. At that moment his arm strength was only 30 tons, then it got stronger when he multiplied his power. But when ''World Clock'' told me his current strength, I was so shocked, that I even trembled. His current arm strength got from 30 tons to 80 tons... Bakuga: WHAT?!?! Meanwhile in the arena, Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t harmed from any of their attacks and released his profound strength, pushing many of those that were near him away. Some stood on their ground with difficulty, and then some people decided to use their Noble Arts, there were many types of them, some were manipulating water, others with fire, air, earth, lasers, and even some that multiplied the strength of the previous ones. But when they were near Xiao Qiangwei, he just raised an hand and the combined hit connected with him, exploding in with a big boom. Everyone stood there watching him, who was still covered in smoke, until a dark figure appeared and rushed at them, some dodged while others were hit, the dark figure was revealed to be a black big hand that was floating, his punch knocked down some contenders and couldn''t get up anymore. Then Xiao Qiangwei used his energy to clear the arena from the smoke, and he was revealed to be undamaged, shocking everyone. No one moved, not even the dark hand, and slowly that minute already passed, and Xiao Qiangwei said in a dark tone. Xiao Qiangwei: Time''s up... Then he used ''Evil Soul'' and stomped at the arena, completely destroying it and making people tremble at his show of strength, then he turned towards the remaining people, they were intimidated from his red eyes, and backed away. Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, Amane, Yui, Edelweiss and Bakuga were shocked from such power, while some other people surrended themselves immediately, Kuraudo included, while the rest was too terrorized to even think. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Let''s see if I can do it...'' Then he tried to use more of his Devil Origin Orb, and 4 meters tall humanoid shadow appeared behind Xiao Qiangwei, everything of it was black, except the glowing gray eyes of the shadow. That figure made shiver Amane too, who had a twisted mind, and made the strongest people''s hopes crumble and left the arena with the tail between their legs, except for Stella, Ikki, Shizuku and Amane. In the spectator''s seats, no one could talk from being too frightened from that thing that appeared behind Xiao Qiangwei, which disappeared later. It was a weaker version of ''God Manifestation'', and it was possible because he directly used the Devil Origin Orb, it could summon something similar to an avatar of a divine being, normally to use it, you need to be a Divine Master and possess the soul of the divine being you wish to summon. But since Xiao Qiangwei directly used his Devil Origin Orb for power, he bypassed the first requirement, but that shadow couldn''t not even move, but it was an useful intimidating technique since it released a tenth of the dark feeling Ten''notsumi could release. Xiao Qiangwei theorized he couldn''t use anymore his dark profound energy for 3 full years since that technique consumed a great deal of the Devil Origin Orb, but it didn''t matter now. Now he turned to the remaining 4 people in the arena, and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Well guys, shall we start? 76 The End of Chivalry of a Failed Knigh "It¡­ It is frightening¡­ With such a scary thing the contender Xiao Qiangwei made run away the 95% of the contenders partecipating! But the most promising people are still in the arena." Xiao Qiangwei: Well, well, well, who do I start with? Shizuku and Ikki looked at each other and rushed at Xiao Qiangwei with a smile, Ikki used Ittou Shura to get faster at him while Shizuku used her abilities to help Ikki, Xiao Qiangwei just smirked and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Show me your power, Ikki! Ikki: With pleasure! Ittou Rasetsu! Then he concentrated everything on a single instant and slashed at Xiao Qiangwei, who stood there, receiving the attack. When the attack ended, there was just a scratch in Xiao Qiangwei''s skin, but it didn''t even penetrated enough to show a drop of blood, surprising Ikki and Shizuku, then Ikki fell on the ground right after that, being extremely tired and his body was damaged from the technique. So Shizuku took Ikki and left the arena, leaving only Amane and Stella, Amane was thinking about withdrawing but Xiao Qiangwei just said. Xiao Qiangwei: Where do you think you are going, Shion Amamiya? Amane stopped his thoughts and turned towards him with shock and anger. Amane: How do you know my name?! Xiao Qiangwei: Let''s say that after our encounter at the road, I asked someone to gather informations about you. Amane was completely enraged and used Nameless Glory at him, but something abnormal happened. The area around Xiao Qiangwei started to ''Glitch'', because Xiao Qiangwei was never part of the Fate, he was not even recognized from the world, no one knew what happened, not even Amane and Xiao Qiangwei. The glitches continued for a while, but Xiao Qiangwei didn''t care because it didn''t harm him, so he just walked forward, towards Amane, who started getting frightened from what was happening and took some steps back. Amane: W-What are you?! How can Nameless Glory not even recognize you?! Xiao Qiangwei creepily smiled and now was in front of Amane. Xiao Qiangwei: I am the Evil God... I don''t obey to Law, I manipulate it as I wish. Then he just pushed Amane and he flew some meters away, and couldn''t get up anymore. "I sincerely don''t know what happened, but now the final fight starts, the Crimson Princess, Stella Vermillion, an A-rank Blazer from Hagun Academy, against the Evil God, Xiao Qiangwei, probably unofficially the first S-Rank Blazer in the story, from the same school" Stella: Qiangwei, I wish you to go all out against me. Xiao Qiangwei smiled and then opened Purgatory, shocking once more everyone from the sudden boost, only the experts like Edelweiss and the teachers of the different school could sense that his power just multiplied of 5 times. Xiao Qiangwei: Come, and show me what our training did to you! Stella nodded and smiled, before rushing while using her golden flames as propulsory flames and got even faster at her man, then she slashed with as much strength she could muster from both her arms. But Xiao Qiangwei just raised an arm and punched her, he hold back a bit to not damage her too much, but he still broke her Device and hit her in the chest, making her fly at supersonic speed against the wall, leaving her unconscious while she was still smiling. "Ladies and Gentlemen, our new champion Xiao Qiangwei, from Hagun Academy, will be officially titled as the ''Unmatched'' from the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and no one else in future will take away his title unless he loses. The Festival is officially concluded." Everyone screamed and cheered for Xiao Qiangwei, while he just walked towards Stella and took her unconscious body away with a smile. [later] Xiao Qiangwei arrived in an hospital and left Stella in a bed, then he sat somewhere and waited for her to wake up, meanwhile Ikki, Shizuku, Kurono,and Nene entered the room to congratulate with him. Ikki: Congratulations Qiangwei, for your victory. Shizuku: Yes, I was surprised when Ikki''s special attack didn''t do almost nothing at you. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, just because my arm strength increased it doesn''t mean my body remains weak. Ikki: yeah... Well, it was a good clash... Kurono: So, Qiangwei, how do you feel being called the ''Unmatched'' from the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival? Xiao Qiangwei: Honestly? It isn''t much... Nene: Qiangwei, can you tell me how you did increase your arm strength in such a short time? It increased of a whopping 50 tons in 4 days!! Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry woman, you lost, you pay for it. I have not any obligations to tell you about anything. Nene: Awww... C''mon... Xiao Qiangwei: Oi, at least behave as a woman instead of a child. Everyone laughed at it and chatted a bit with Xiao Qiangwei. [3 days later] This was the time that Stella needed to wake up, and found Xiao Qiangwei in a chair who was sleeping, Stella smiled and got up from the bed, then she silently walked towards him. Then she sat on Xiao Qiangwei''s lap and hugged him, waking him up. Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Oh Stella, you are awake. Stella: So I lost the match, eh? Xiao Qiangwei: In a single punch, they even called me the ''Unmatched'' for the stunt I pulled at the start of the tournament. Stella giggled and then she talked. Stella: It suits you, you were always the strongest person I ever seen... Hey Qiangwei... Xiao Qiangwei: Yes? Stella: I want to ask a thing from you... Xiao Qiangwei: Talk, I will try to see if I can do something. Stella: the first is if you can go with me at Vermillion Empire to visit my family. Xiao Qiangwei: We can even start now, I am strong enough to take you there in flight. But I have a request too. Stella was curious, because it was the first time he really asked her to do something for him. Stella: Yes? Xiao Qiangwei: Will you marry me? Stella''s body trembled and some tears escaped from her eyes while she was looking at Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes with a big smile. Stella: Yes, I want to be your wife! Then they hugged and closed their eyes, and stood like that for a long time. 77 Epilogue Stella and Xiao Qiangwei regrouped with the others and told them the news about their decision, everyone rejoiced about it and congratulated them, then Xiao Qiangwei and Stella got back at the Hagun Academy and took their things, then they said bye to their friends. [8 days later] Xiao Qiangwei took Stella and flew for some thousands of km over the land and sea, and landed right in front of her parents'' home, the guards tried to stop them but when they seen Stella, they let the duo pass and entered the building to meet with Stella''s family. [later] Xiao Qiangwei presented himself at Stella''s mother, Astrea, and Stella''s father, Sirius, the father was disapproving their decision, but when he learned about Xiao Qiangwei''s strength and love for his daugher, he hesitantly approved, making everyone smile. [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking forward, he was wearing a black suit, and his hair floated from the wind, he was in a big garden full of flowers and had the most proud smile in his face he ever had. Seated near him was Sirius, Astrea, Lunaeyes, that was Stella''s sister, and his mother, who travelled in a plane when she heard about the news of her son. But in front of him, there was the most beautiful thing he ever seen in this life, Stella was in a crimson wedding dress, and was looking at him with the most graceful and delicate expression, after some minutes, they kissed each other, signaling to the world that they were married. [13 months later] Xiao Qiangwei was father, he and Stella had a son that they decided to call Sol, Xiao Sol. He was litterally a baby version of Xiao Qiangwei with crimson hair and golden eyes. He was shown to be a Blazer, and his Noble Art was revealed to be the ''Golden Dragon''s flames''. [10 years later] They were living in China, because Xiao Qiangwei never seen his own nation, his strength reached the apex many years ago, a year later from reaching the limit, he found out who was the killer of his father, that was revealed to be the Rebellion, so he got around the world to destroy their bases and even killed Tyrant, the one who guided Rebellion. When the news reached everyone''s ears, no one questioned anymore his powers and was titled at the ''Peerless Under Heaven'', making his son proud of him, while Stella and his mother, were worried a bit for Xiao Qiangwei, but he seemed alright. [30 years later] Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were always happy during this time, they even had some grandchilds that played with the married couple, and this fulfilled Xiao Qiangwei with happiness, but he was sad because her mother had a few years of life. [2 years later] Here it was, Xiao Qiangwei''s mother''s funeral, she died with a smile, but Xiao Qiangwei was crying for her, while Stella was comforting him, there was even Ikki and Shizuku, that somehow got married and had childs. [40 years later] Xiao Qiangwei was as young as he was at his 18 years, Stella questioned him some years later from the funeral, and found out about his real power, about his Divine Veins and Profound energy, and that he had still 5000 years in total of lifespan. Making Stella sad due to knowing what would happen when she would leave too, like their childs, grandchilds and so on¡­ They were on the sofa together, while holding their hands and smiled, but Xiao Qiangwei suddenly felt a spatial distortion and he got up to prepare for a fight, but instead a letter was slowly falling at his hands, he raised an eyebrow but then he heard Stella. Stella: A letter? Open it¡­ Xiao Qiangwei nodded, opened the letter and read it so Stella could hear too. "Calling all troubled, gifted boys and girls: If you would like to test your abilities, then cast aside your family, friends, wealth; your entire world and come to our ''Little Garden''" Xiao Qiangwei suddenly felt a spatial seal over his area, it was too strong, probably of God, then he looked at Stella. who smiled. Stella: You can go, I will miss you a little, but I don''t want to see you crying for me... It breaks my weak heart, just... Don''t forget about me. Stella''s words hit directly in Xiao Qiangwei''s heart, who then started crying and hugging Stella. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was a bit embarassed to have shown something like that while Stella was laughing a bit. Stella: Well then, Dear, good luck. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks, Honey, I will bed you farewell then... Now Xiao Qiangwei suddenly disappeared, while Stella started crying. Stella: Good luck, Qiangwei, don''t cry for me, don''t forget me, don''t return anymore to me... Then her delicate heart stopped beating... 78 Xiao Qiangweis Character Sheet Chivalry of a Failed Knigh @@ Surname: Xiao Name: Qiangwei Titles: Evil God, Unmatched, Peerless Under Heaven Physical Description: Species: Human Gender: Male Lifespan: 5000 years Eye Color: Amber Hair Color: Blond Platinum Body: Dragon God''s Body Bloodline: Evil God, Primordial Azure Dragon, Golden Crow, Ice Phoenix Relationship: Stella Vermillion: WIfe Ikki Kurogane: Friend Shizuku Kurogane: Friend Kurono Shinguuji: Friend Nene Saikyo: Friend Tohka Toudou: Friend Kuraudo Kurashiki: Acquaintaince Edelweiss: Acquantaince Relatives: None Children: Stella Vermillion: Xiao Sol Parents: Xiao Xue(mother) Xiao Lingyun(father) (deceased) Grandparents: Deceased Uncles: None Masters: Nene Allies: Hagun Academy Enemies: Rebellion, Fire Demon gang.

Xiao Qiangwei: What happened? God: There are many things we need to talk about¡­ He snapped his fingers and a chair appeared in front of God. God: Sit. Xiao Qiangwei immediately obeyed before he sat over the chair and listened to God. God: First of all, there was a slight error¡­ It seems that Nameless Glory of the kiddo you fought at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival made a mess with some Realm Laws and the realm you were became subordinate of a Medium Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: What do you mean? God: In the ''True Multiverse'', where many different realms exists, there are 4 classes of Realms, the Lower Realm, Medium Realm, Higher Realm, and then there''s this place. Got it? Xiao Qiangwei nodded and continued to listen. God: These realms are divided from the Laws, they control the strength of each individual, in the Lower Realm, the maximum one could get is the Sovereign Realm, it doesn''t matter if your combat prowess exceeds the requirements, your true cultivation realm will never go past Sovereign. Then there are the Medium Realms, sometimes there are cases when the Medium Realms are connected with Lower Realms in a one-way road, there are a few exceptions put you will never go in a Lower Realm again, you can only get up to Divine Extinction there. The last one, are the Higher Realms, like the Medium Realms, they could have lower ranked realms attached at them, but they are incredibly rare, and the maximum there is ''God of Creation Realm''. Xiao Qiangwei: And this realm? God: There isn''t a limit, and I am the Law, but no one could cultivate here, because there isn''t any world power or energy around here to use. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, so a Medium Realm called me? God: Yes, now let''s pass to the next good news, since you are not dead yet, you will retain your memories and powers, they will be really useful at the moment. Xiao Qiangwei: Nice, is there more? God: Yes, but this is a bad news, your lovers of the other worlds, have decided to not see you anymore. Xiao Qiangwei: Wait why?! God: Because they know, that under that smile, you are crying from meeting them, they know, and decided to stop that child inside your soul that is crying for sorrow, and I can''t disturb always my co-worker at the Otherworld... But they said to tell you a message. "Qiangwei, never forget of us, never be sad for us, and search your love. We want your happiness, but be assured, we will see everything you do from here." Xiao Qiangwei was incredibly sad, and God got up and walked towards him, and caressed his back while Xiao Qiangwei was crying at God''s robes (It needs to be done... Sorry... But Xiao Qiangwei will meet with them in a certain anime). [much time later] Xiao Qiangwei couldn''t cry anymore, and God was still caressing his back. God: You had enough? Xiao Qiangwei just nodded and then raised his head with a blank face before it changed to one of resolution. Xiao Qiangwei: They want to see me happy, then they will, it will be difficult right now, but I will do it, just tell Stella that I always love her... God: I will, there isn''t anything else, now let''s start with the explanations. This is a Medium Realm connected with many different ones, so you can get up to Divine Extinction, but with the World Energy that is there, you could get only to Divine King, but don''t worry, the strongest enemy there is a Divine Tribulation, I think... I don''t know much about how to classify people, but about the Divine King thing, it is true. You were called together with 3 other people from other Lower Realms, and each of them had a abnormal past and some ''Gifts''. Well, you have a ton of them... But who cares? Then, about your weapons ''Divina Virtute'', I will go pick your old claws in exchange of this... Just wait a minute, ok? Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then seen a black portal appear behind God, who entered in. [Against the Gods'' Realm] Some days later after Xiao Qiangwei died, in his star realm, a black portal appeared, shocking some people who were there to pick the previous God of Destruction''s weapons, from the spatial-temporal portal, God appeared, in his black robes. The people there were on guard, and God stepped towards them, then when he was in front of the one who had the claws, the guy tried to attack him, but God just gave a punch at the guy, who flew outside from the star realm, shocking everyone else, who decided to run away. Then God picked the claws, created a small spatial ring and entered the portal again [God''s Realm] God appeared again from the portal, and Xiao Qiangwei was waiting expectanctly for him, and when he saw his old claws, Primordial Claws, he became excited and walked at God, who just gave them at him without any words. Xiao Qiangwei took the claws and unexpectedly a spatial ring, that had just enough capacity to contain his claws and a bit of food. God: The ring will help you hide the weapons. Ok, we will start right now, are you ready? Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then disappeared, to reappear back in the Medium Realm, precisely around 4 km over the ground, and together with him there were 3 other people, then they fell, while Xiao Qiangwei decided it was useless flying at this mere altitude. ?: Wha? ?: Kya! all 3 together: Where the hell is this?! 80 Little Garden Xiao Qiangwei, the other 3, and a cat fell on the ground, more specifically, the latter 3 fell into a small lake, while Xiao Qiangwei crashed in the ground while standing in his feet. Then Yu, a girl with short hair left from the lake with a cat in her hands and talked to it. Yu: ...Are you alright? Cat: I thought I would die...! (From now on, I will insert directly the cat''s words) Asuka: I-I cannot believe it! To think they would pull me out without saying a word and on top of that, drop me from the sky! Izayoi: Same here, dammit! Depending on the situation, it could have been Game Over on the spot. It would have been better if they summoned us inside a rock or something at least. Xiao Qiangwei: Shut it, both of you, at least you fell in the lake, thanks god I am strong otherwise I would die here. Asuka: How dare you tell me to shut up! Izayoi: You are right buddy, still, you must be pretty strong to survive a fall like that. Xiao Qiangwei: It was nothing¡­ Yu: Where¡­ could this be? Izayoi: No idea. Well, there was something that looked like the end of the world, so maybe we''re on the back of some huge turtle? Xiao Qiangwei: Are you on drugs? Why should we be in a huge turtle, it could be a floating island. Izayoi: You are right¡­ Still, did you received a strange letter too? Asuka: That is right, but first of all, do not address me that way. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Jesus... Not this type of girl...'' Asuka: My name is Kudou Asuka. Pay attention to that from now on. Moving on: you there holding that cat, your name is? Yu: Kasukabe Yu. Same situation as you. Asuka: I see. Let us get along from now on, Kasukabe-san. You, with the uncivilized and savage looking appearance over there? Izayoi: Wow, thanks for that pompous self introduction. I''m, just as the appearance suggests, uncivilized and savage Sakamaki Izayoi. Bulgar, brutal and hedonistic; all that I need to be a hopeless person. Xiao Qiangwei: Wow, so you sucked at school? Izayoi: Yeah¡­ Asuka: then, you? Xiao Qiangwei: I am Xiao Qiangwei, friends call me Wei, nice to meet you in this place forgotten from the Creator. Now, woman¡­ Then he turned to a bush. Xiao Qiangwei: Get out, your hiding skills sucks. Izayoi: So you already knew? Xiao Qiangwei: I am probably older than you all put together, I have some skills of my own. Yu: How old are you? Xiao Qiangwei: 86 years, and just saying it once, I am not old if you compare that with my entire lifespan of 5000 years. Izayoi: *Whistles* That is a big number. Meanwhile a girl that looked as a 15-16 years old with long blue hair, red eyes, and had a pair of rabbit ears, got out from the bush. Kuro Usagi: So you guys knew already about me... Suddenly Yu appeared behind her and grabbed one of her rabbit ears and pulled with full force Kuro Usagi: Wa-Wait a second! If it''s only touching I would let you do it without a word, but I didn''t think you would try to pull Kuro Usagi''s lovely ears off on our first meeting! What are you thinking?! Yu: Sating my curiosity. Kuro Usagi: You can''t do everything you please! Izayoi walked with a smile and pulled the other ear. Izayoi: Ooh, these rabbit ears are real? Xiao Qiangwei: Jesus Christ... Yu released an ear and Asuka curiously pulled it, making Kuro Usagi scream while Xiao Qiangwei covered his ears. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Holy shit, woman, how the fuck is possible screaming so much?!'' [later] Kuro Usagi, with the unexpected help of Xiao Qiangwei, calmed down the three teenagers and started explaining their current situation. Kuro Usagi: Well then, welcome to the world of Little Garden. We summoned the four of you to grant you the privilege to take part in the Gift Games, in which only those with Gift of their own could partecipate. Asuka: Gift Games? Kuro Usagi: Indeed! You probably noticed, but none of you are ordinary humans, Those extraordinary abilities you possess are blessings you could have received from various deities, demons, spirits and stars. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Heh, you don''t have idea...'' Kuro Usagi: Gift Games are events for those with Gifts to compete with each other. And lastly, Little Garden is a world, that was created solely for the purpose of those powerful Gift bearers to enjoy and reside in. Asuka: I will start with basic questions if that is acceptable. First of all, who are that ''we'' you mentioned? Kuro Usagi: Yes! Gift bearers summoned from another world must join one of the many Communities of Little Garden to thrive. Asuka: No way! Xiao Qiangwei: Aww, c''mon, it might not be that bad... Kuro Usagi: I appreciate your enthusiasm, Qiangwei, but you must join one! Moreover, the winner of a Gift Game gets the prize provided by the Host. It''s a really simple system. Yu: Who is the Host? Kuro Usagi: They could be all manner of individuals. There are Games held by deities with too much free time, with the purpose of testing mortals, and there are ones that are self-organized by various Communities so they can demonstrate their superiority. Xiao Qiangwei: Since you are talking about the Gift Games so much, how much are important in this realm? Kuro Usagi: They are the thing that could decide even the life of gods here. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? Interesting... But is it possible refusing the Gift Games? Kuro Usagi: Unless in a special case, then yes, you can refuse them. Izayoi: I have a question too. Kuro Usagi: What question would it be? About the rules? About the game itself? Izayoi: That doesn''t matter. I couldn''t care less about that, Kuro Usagi. The only thing I want to ask you¡­ is about that letter we got. Is this world¡­ fun? Kuro Usagi: ...YES! Gift Games is a devil''s game for those who transcended the limits of humanity. The world of Little Garden is much more fun than other worlds. I personally guarantee it! 81 Law of the Heavenly Lightning Xiao Qiangwei and Izayoi were running towards the end of the world. Izayoi: Nice, you can keep up. Xiao Qiangwei: I can keep up? Don''t joke, see ya later. Then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared from Izayoi''s vision, surprising him. While Xiao Qiangwei just entered Izayoi''s unconsciousness and got faster. Xiao Qiangwei had mastered Trackless Step many years ago, and when he had 70 years, he created the new profound art ''Hidden Steps'', he combined the wind attribute and a bit of space attribute to create this profound art. It''s speed was superb, even if it couldn''t achieve the same one of Star God''s Broken Shadow, it was for a really small margin, this profound movement could make him invisible from many cultivators of some Great Realms above him, and still used the same concept of Trackless Steps. And the best part is that unlike the Star God''s Broken Shadow, it isn''t a profound movement that can be used for a small range, but it can be used without stopping even for an instant. Later he found himself in front of a giant mountain, and at the top of it there were many black clouds that covered the top, and every single cloud was charged with thunders, making Xiao Qiangwei smile, and decided to fly over the clouds. He was immune to the lightning element, so the thunders didn''t do nothing at him, and when he overcame them, he found a majestic yellow bird that was flying at lightning-like speed, when the bird noticed him, it started talking in human language. Bird: Human, you dare come in my nest, just by entering here, you will leave only if you win a challenge, if you refuse, then you will die. Xiao Qiangwei: A mere beast that was able to use human speech thinks that he is invincible? Don''t overestimate yourself, my name is Xiao Qiangwei, and I accept your challenge, what do you offer? Bird: I will offer my ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning'', with this, you can use lightning at your pleasure, there is only one person with an higher version of it, but I think it is enough¡­ But what do you offer? Xiao Qiangwei: If I lose, you can take 5 Drops of Blood of the Golden Crow, they will let you manipulate the flames that are comparable to that of the sun itself, and are extremely destructive. Bird: I accept, then let''s say the rules. It will be a fight to death, who will win, will get the Gift Card of the loser, I don''t have a name, but I am called the Heaven''s Bird. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, then let''s start. Then the beast and Xiao Qiangwei, who used Burning Heart, rushed at each other, the bird tried to electrodute Xiao Qiangwei, but surprisingly it didn''t have any effect on him, but when Xiao Qiangwei got in contact with the beast, he already froze half of his body, and made it fall to the ground. Xiao Qiangwei flew towards the place where the bird fell, and found Kuro Usagi and Izayoi watching him with wide eyes since he could fly. Xiao Qiangwei ignored them and summoned his claws, then he flew with as much speed he could muster and beheaded the bird in one swing while crashing in the ground. When the dust settled, Xiao Qiangwei was walking towards the duo with a card in his hand, which had the words ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning'' over it. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo! So, what happened? Did you finally got me, Izayoi? Izayoi: Nah, you were too fast so I left for somewhere else, and I won a plant from a giant snake. Xiao Qiangwei: Ok, I won this card... Kuro Usagi: I-Is that the Law of the Heavenly Lightning?! So that means you killed the Heaven''s Bird!! Xiao Qiangwei: Yep, but if it wasn''t for my ice, then I would used more time to win, the bird was a bit strong and too fast. How was yours? Izayoi: Boring... But you knew about why Kuro Usagi summoned us here? Xiao Qiangwei: I don''t care, I didn''t have anything to do in my old world... Except watching people you love die... when he talked about the second part, his tone got sad and his eyes were empty, which made curious Izayoi and a frown appeared at Kuro Usagi. Izayoi: Oh yeah, did you know that here are Demon Lords too? Xiao Qiangwei: Demon Lords? I seen True Devils who can destroy entire realms with a flip of their hands, those you are talking about are probably just a joke compared to them. Kuro Usagi: ''True Devils? What are they? And from what world did you come from, Qiangwei?'' Izayoi: For real?! I wonder how strong they are... Xiao Qiangwei: You would die just from a sneeze, you are probably a bit stronger than me right now, they are too strong for both me and you... Well then, let''s return back. Kuro Usagi: I have a question. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, talk. Kuro Usagi: What are True Devils? Xiao Qiangwei: First of all, we need to start with power levels. Ahem, there are 3 ''Realms'', the mortal Realm, where currently I am, but since my combat prowess is almost at the second realm, it doesn''t matter much. The second realm is the Divine Realm, the people of this realm could even start to destroy planets with a simple gesture when one enters the latter stages. Then there is the third realm, the Realm of the Gods, this is where the True Devils are seen, and could treat an entire Galaxy like a chocolate bar. Izayoi got a little shiver when he heard that, such powers that shouln''t not even exist for him, and if he really met such an opponent, he would just run away, knowing that he would die. While Kuro Usagi frozen on the spot, after hearing such frightening things, she just decided to forget them and take Izayoi and Xiao Qiangwei back at the No Name Community. 82 Shiroyasha [later] They were at a water fountain plaza, meeting with Yu and Asuka, and Kuro Usagi''s ears were standing up from anger. Kuro Usagi: H-How did you come into contact with the leader of ''Fores Garo'' and even manage to pick a fight in that short amount of time!? Moreover the Game''s appointed date is tomorrow!? And to be battling in the enemy''s territory! We don''t have the time or money to prepare! Just what were you thinking! Are you listening, you two!! Asuka/Yu: He pissed us off. We''re currently reflecting on our actions. Kuro Usagi: Silence!! Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, I don''t think he is that strong¡­ Have a bit of trust on us. Kuro Usagi: *Sigh* I will try¡­ At least with Izayoi and Qiangwei, we would win. Izayoi: What are you saying? I won''t be going, you know? Asuka: Of course. I won''t let you partecipate. Xiao Qiangwei: If they couldn''t even kill an humanoid tiger then they are fucked. So, Izayoi, do you want to spar a little later? Izayoi smirked and turned to Xiao Qiangwei Izayoi: I was waiting for something like this! You know, in the old world I didn''t have no one to fight. Xiao Qiangwei smiled too and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Well then, I hope I can be that person. [later] While Kuro Usagi and the others were starting to use the Water Tree Sapling that Izayoi won, Izayoi and Xiao Qiangwei were in the deserted place that was their new community, looking at each other. Izayoi: Well, I hope you can keep up with my strength, Wei. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, I have a ton of surprises, and I will use only my physical abilities, I want the things more interesting. Izayoi: Then let''s start! Izayoi runned at Xiao Qiangwei, and was almost instantly in front of his, while Xiao Qiangwei crossed his arms to block the hit, when Izayoi''s punch connected with Xiao Qiangwei''s arms, there was a crater under them and Xiao Qiangwei''s arms almost broke, but they could resist. Xiao Qiangwei: *Whistles* You are really strong. Then let''s raise it of a notch! Then Xiao Qiangwei used ''Purgatory'', surprising Izayoi, who still kept his smile, and threw a kick at Xiao Qiangwei''s side, who grabbed the leg with one hand and punched Izayoi, who blocked it with his arms. They stood like that for some seconds before they separated. Izayoi: Whoa¡­ What is that trick? Xiao Qiangwei: Just three of the seven boosts I possess, even if I can use up to this point. But you really pack a punch, I am going! Xiao Qiangwei used Hidden Steps and appeared in front of Izayoi, who grinned from excitement, and guarded from an attack of Xiao Qiangwei, but nothing came, until he felt an attack from his back, which made him stumble forward. Xiao Qiangwei: You need to watch, kid! Then he disappeared again and was in front of Izayoi again to punch him with a Colossal Fist of The King while Izayoi threw a fist of his own to Xiao Qiangwei''s face, The hits connected and Izayoi flew of 7-8 meters while Xiao Qiangwei backed of some steps. When they gained balance again they looked at each other before laughing. Izayoi: You are really fantastic, Wei, it was a while I didn''t have so much fun! Xiao Qiangwei: Me too, usually I would fight to kill, and there weren''t many people who could match me. Izayoi: I know about the second, well then, let''s return at the community, I need to take a bath. Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah. I wonder how I can use the ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning''... [later] after everyone talked a bit, they were following Kuro Usagi to have their Gifts ''appraised'' Asuka: What is this about the appraisal of Gifts? Kuro Usagi: Of course, that would be about their hidden powers or origins. If you have a correct understanding of your ability, you can further draw out its power. You''re all curious about the origin of your abilities, right? The trio of teenagers showed a complex expression while Xiao Qiangwei said. Xiao Qiangwei: I already know about them, for almost half of them I risked my life... I just want to know how I can use the ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning''. After some sightseeing and a little explanation about the lower realms connected with this realm, they arrived at the Thousand Eyes, a mercantile community. A shop clerk was closing the shop was stopped from Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: Wai- Clerk: Waiting won''t happen, dear customer. We don''t do after hours business. Xiao Qiangwei: Well then, where is the closest branch that can accept us? Kuro Usagi: Wait Qiangwei, don''t leave! Xiao Qiangwei: Ok ok, calm down woman... ?: Yaaaahhooooooooo! It''s been a while, Kuro Usagiiiiiii! then Kuro Usagi was hugged by a pure white-haired girl that threw herself at her, who then they flipped four times in midair, and fall in an aqueduct. Kuro Usagi: Shi-Shiroyasha-sama!? Why are you here at such a low level?! Shiroyasha: Obviously because I had a premonition that Kuro Usagi would be coming by around now! Fufu, fuhohofuhoho! The sensation of touching a rabbit is truly different! Come now, does it feel good here, or here! Then she fondled Kuro Usagi''s breasts. Xiao Qiangwei: Are we perhaps in an AV? If that''s so, then I would like to stay here while you two continue. Then Kuro Usagi teared off Shiroyasha from her body and accidentaly threw her towards Xiao Qiangwei, and knocked each other''s head, then fell to the ground while being hurt. Xiao Qiangwei: Jesus woman! Shiroyasha: Ouch! Kuro Usagi panicked a bit then she said. Kuro Usagi: I am terribly sorry Qiangwei, I wanted to throw her at the shop, not against you. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, just don''t try that again... After a little chat they entered in Shiroyasha''s room and sat over pillows. Shiroyasha: I''ll introduce myself once again. I am Shiroyasha, one of the leaders of the [Thousand Eyes] which is based at the fourth gate, number 3345. I have a little history with Kuro Usagi over there. I''d like you to think of me as a beautiful girl that has been helping out frequently ever since the collapse of her community. Kuro Usagi: Yes, yes, we''ve truly been in your care. Yu: What is that gate thing? Shiroyasha: It is the gate on the outer wall that exists to indicate Little Garden''s levels. As the number becomes lower, the strength of those living there increases. Then the teenagers started talking a bit while Shiroyasha laughed from the argument they were talking about. Shiroyasha: While we''re are at the topic, just outside the eastern gate is a place overlooking the ''Edge of the World''. Those living there don''t belong to a community and are possessors of powerful Gifts, like the owner of that water tree. So saying, just who won and in what kind of game? A competition of knowledge? A test of courage? Kuro Usagi: No, no. Izayoi beat that snake god barehanded before coming here. Shiroyasha: What!? He didn''t clear a game, but instead beat him head on!? Then that child is a prodigy carrying Divinity? Xiao Qiangwei: What is Divinity? Shiroyasha: Divinity is a gift that increases one''s powers to the highest rank. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Then almost all my abilities have divinity!'' Then how can I use the ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning''? Shiroyasha: Wait what?! Don''t tell me you beated the Heaven''s Bird? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I would use a bit more time if I didn''t frost half of its body. But since you recognize that tree, does it mean you were acquainted with the snake? Shiroyasha: I was the one who granted him Divinity. Izayoi: Ohh? Then you''re stronger than that snake? Shiroyasha: Fufun, of course. I''m the eastern ''Floor Master''. There is nobody that can compare with me out of the Communities at the eastern fourth gate and those underneath, since I''m the strongest Host. Xiao Qiangwei: Interesting... 83 A Gift sLists instead of a sCards Xiao Qiangwei was currently looking at a white hill and a snowy field with a blank look while the others were amazed. Shiroyasha: I will rename myself and ask once again. I am the Demon Lord of the White Night, the celestial spirit of the sun and the white night, Shiroyasha. Is what you desire to challenge a trial? Or an equal-footed Duel? Xiao Qiangwei: I think the duel will be when I will be strong enough¡­ Maybe when I arrive at Divine Tribulation¡­ Kuro Usagi: Divine Tribulation? Xiao Qiangwei: is one of the realms from the Divine Realm, I think I could get there in 2 years. Shiroyasha: Oh, then I will wait, so kids, do you want a challenge or a duel? Izayoi: I''ll stay silent this time and let you test me. Great Demon Lord. Asuka: ...Yes. It''s fine if you test me. Yu: Same as to my right. Then there was a cry, and Yu recognized it as a beast''s cry, but didn''t know which one was. Yu: What was that cry just now? It''s the first time I''ve heard it. Shiroyasha: Fumu¡­.. him, huh. He may be most suitable to test you three. Then a gryphon flew near them Yu: A gryphon¡­. No way, a real one?! Shiroyasha: Fufun, indeed. He is the king of birds and king of beasts. Embodying Power, Wisdim and Courage, a beast that represents the Gift Games. Now comes the main point of the trial. I will test you in Power, Wisdom and Courage with this gryphon; I''ll make it so you clear it if you can circle the lake shore while riding him. Yu: I''ll do it. Shiroyasha: Fumu. It seems you''re quite confident, but this is fairly difficult you know? If you fail, it won''t end with just a grave injury. Yu: I''m fine, there''s no problem. Then Yu started the trial under the cheerings of Xiao Qiangwei and the other two teenagers. But unexpectedly made a bet with the gryphon, and it accepted. Then the trial started and Yu flew with the gryphon, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was checking with his eyes the outcome, and she won. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei got near her and warmed her with his Golden Flames, because her body was really cold. Shiroyasha: Oh my, you''ve done well. This Game is your win¡­. by the way, I''d like to ask about your Gift. Is it inherited? Yu: That''s not it. It''s thanks to the wood carving I received from my father that I became able to communicate. Shiroyasha: Wood Carving? And you? I never seen that type of flames. Xiao Qiangwei: This is the Golden Crow''s flames, I fucking risked my life for obtain 10 drops of his blood, that permitted me to use his flames, the temperature could easily arrive at the sun''s level with some training. Kuro Usagi: And the ice you used before? Xiao Qiangwei: That is something similar to the Golden Crow, it is the Ice Phoenix''s ice, the temperature could even freeze magma or fire. Shiroyasha: How many other gifts you have? Xiao Qiangwei: ....Alot? Shiroyasha: *Sigh* Well then, you others, how much do you know about your gifts? Asuka: It''s a corporate secret. Izayoi: Same as to the right. Yu: Same as them. Shiroyasha: Uoooooi? The conversation can''t continue like this. At any rate, as a Host and celestial spirit, I must bestow you with a gift. It''s a bit excessive, but it works just fine as a celebration before your Community''s revival. Then she clapped her hands and four cards appeared for each one, and when Kuro Usagi seen Xiao Qiangwei, she was shocked. Kuro Usagi: W-What... How many gifts do you have?! Xiao Qiangwei just read his gift card: ''Evil God''s Divine Veins: Divinity'' ''Evil God''s Seed: Fire Seed, Water Seed, Earth Seed, Air Seed, Time Seed, Space Seed, Spiritual Seed, Void Seed, Lightning Seed, Light Seed, Darkness Seed.'' (AN: Tell me if there are more I didn''t write) ''10 Drops of Blood of the Golden Crow: Divinity'' ''10 Drops of Blood of the Ice Phoenix: Divinity'', ''Great way of the Buddha(4th Stage)'', ''Heavenly God''s Spiritual Veins: Divinity'', ''Primordial Dragon God''s Soul: Divinity'', ''Primordial Dragon God''s Essence: Divinity'', ''Primordial Dragon God''s Human Skeleton: Divinity'', ''100% Dragon God Bloodline: Divinity'', ''True Devil Origin Orb: Divinity'', ''The Author''s Divinity'', ''Primordial Claws'', ''Law of the Heavenly Lightning: Divinity''. The other were curious as well so they looked on his gift card, and had different reactions, Izayoi whistled in surprise, Asuka and Yu raised an eyebrow, while Shiroyasha was shocked. Shiroyasha: How in God''s name can you have so many Divinity?! Xiao Qiangwei: ...Muffin Button? Oh wait, there is the Law of Heavenly Lightning, let''s see¡­ Then he stretched a finger and it shot a yellow small laser from it. Izayoi: *Whistles* That''s cool. Xiao Qiangwei: Well then, now what happens? Shiroyasha just recovered from the shock and looked at Xiao Qiangwei before sighing. Shiroyasha: Everything is done, I believe that this monster here don''t have a problem, but do you others know about the condition of your community? Shiroyasha turned towards the trio, waiting for an answer. Izayoi: Ahh, about the name and banner? We''ve heard of it. Shiroyasha: Then you''ve also heard about how you must challenge a Demon Lord to regain them? Izayoi: We''re listening. Shiroyasha: ...Then you all entered Kuro Usagi''s Community while knowing that? Izayoi: That''s right. Defeating a Demon Lord sounds cool. Shiroyasha: It¨¬s not something that is decided by being cool¡­ Seriously, this must be Youth, This might be called reckless or brave. Well, you''ll understand what a Demon Lord is like when you return to your Community. If you still wish to fight a Demon Lord after that, I won''t stop you but¡­. You two girls. You will certainly die. In front of a Demon Lord, your strength will be tested in a Gift Game. Speaking generally about the lower floors, you two won''t survive throught a Demon Lord''s Game. Seeing a bug engulfed by the storm and toyed with unceremoniously is always a sad sight. Yu: ¡­. Thank you for the warning. We''ll take it to heart. Next time, we''ll come to challenge you to a serious game, so be prepared. Shiroyasha: Fufu, as you wish. My base is at gate 2245. Come whenever to play¡­ But I''ll have you wager Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: No! Shiroyasha: Don''t be so cold. If you join my Community, I''ll guarantee you can live your entire life having fun, you know? I''ll also prepare a private room with three means a day and a collar. Kuro Usagi: Three meals a day with a collar. Isn''t that a pet''s treatment! Xiao Qiangwei just looked at her ears after she said that and started having some thoughts. 84 Easily Breaking Through the Tyrant Realm. [later] Xiao Qiangwei and the others were at their community, and were shocked from what happened, Asuka and Yu gasped, while Izayoi narrowed his eyes, but Xiao Qiangwei was shocked from another reason. Xiao Qiangwei: Holy shit, this place is completely charged with dark energy! Izayoi: Dark energy? Xiao Qiangwei: This is basically a gold mine for me! I am going to absorb it and breakthrough. Then he runned towards the center of the community and started cultivating. [later] Kuro Usagi was searching for Xiao Qiangwei since it was dark, who was still cultivating and continuously breaking through the realms, right now he was almost entering the Sovereign Realm, then she jumped over some buildings and found him in a lotus pose, with a bit dark energy entering his body. Kuro Usagi was a bit worried for him since she didn''t knew what he was doing, until he finally broke through and officially entered the Sovereign Realm, while creating a big gust of wind that made her fling away of some meters before she stabilized herself and covered her face with her arms. Then she tried to see Xiao Qiangwei, who just got up and took a deep breath. Xiao Qiangwei: wow, 4 realms in one day¡­ And finally I entered the Sovereign Realm¡­ Kuro Usagi: Sovereign¡­ Realm? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, you are here? Well, since there is nothing much to do I can explain it to you, the mortal Realm is divided in 9 smaller realms, Elementary, Nascent, True, Spirit, Earth, Sky, Emperor, Tyrant and the highest is Sovereign. And each one of them has 10 levels, except Elementary that starts from 0th to 10th, right now I entered the Sovereign Realm. Kuro Usagi: Ohhhh¡­ And the Divine Realm? Xiao Qiangwei: The Divine Realm is divided in 7 smaller realms, and each one of them has 10 lower realms, the first is DIvine Origin, then there is Divine Soul, Divine Tribulation- Kuro Usagi: Isn''t that the realm you said before? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, but this realm is different from the others, first of all, this realm has only 9 levels, from 1st to 9th, and when you enter the 9th realm, a trial made from the Heaven will start. Kuro Usagi: Trial from Heaven? Like a Gift Game? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, this realm has another name, ''Divine Perishing Realm'', because more than the 40% of people like me, who entered that stage died. Kuro Usagi: Why? Xiao Qiangwei: The Trial from Heaven is a survival game, you will have 100 breaths of time before it officially start, then the Heaven will throw a Divine thunder at you, it is strong enough that only people like Shiroyasha and stronger people will survive from it. Kuro Usagi: Then what happens? Xiao Qiangwei: It depends, if your innate talent is low, it will end there, but for the ones who have an higher talents, they will receive another round of lightning, and each round will have the double of thunders of the previous, it depends on how much talented you are. Kuro Usagi: And how would you be classified as? Xiao Qiangwei: Heh, I would probably need to have more than 9 rounds, around 512 lightning or even more. Kuro Usagi gasped and got incredibly worried. Kuro Usagi: Why is it happening? Xiao Qiangwei: It is my life, my people''s life, to going against the heaven, but don''t worry, thanks to my Lightning seed, I am immune to the damage from the Heavenly Thunders. Kuro Usagi sighed in relief before she asked. Kuro Usagi: Hey Qiangwei, when we were at the Heaven''s Bird Nest, you said something about watching people die, what do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: What do you think it will happen when you have a longer lifespan than others and you started to feel love for them? Kuro Usagi understood what he was saying and her ears lowered from sadness, then he got behind him and hugged him. Kuro Usagi: Shhhh¡­. It''s ok, they are in a better place now, you don''t need to feel sorrow for them, and if you need a shoulder, I am there, ok? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah¡­ Let''s go¡­ ''Stop it¡­ I don''t need your pity...'' (AN: Holy shit, remembering the epilogues while listening to the Requiem of Envy really packs a punch in the balls¡­) Then Xiao Qiangwei left the place and followed Kuro Usagi to meet the other people of the community. Extras: He is Xiao Qiangwei?/ Is he strong like the other 3?/ He''s so cool!! Kuro Usagi: Boys, girls, he is Xiao Qiangwei, the fourth person that was called here, and he holds really strong gifts, just like Izayoi, Yu and Asuka. Everyone: Whoa!! After the meeting, Xiao Qiangwei got in the bath and started relaxing his mind, while the others were in their new mansion. Xiao Qiangwei: This will be my new home, huh? Well then, Stella... I will find happiness just like you said... Then Izayoi entered the bath and sat near Xiao Qiangwei, who hastily swapped his sad expression with a little smile. Izayoi: Oh, I didn''t expect to find you here, how did it go the adventure? Xiao Qiangwei: This place is so charged with dark energy that I could even enter the Divine Realm, right now I can even beat you with just my first boost. Izayoi: Oh, interesting, but you should know that I didn''t even got serious there. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? Good, because I can still be stronger than ever. Then both of them laughed together, before Izayoi got a serious look. Izayoi: Hey Wei, why are you hiding your sorrow? Xiao Qiangwei: So you found out... Except for Kuro Usagi, do the others know? Izayoi: No, only me. Xiao Qiangwei: Good... Just don''t tell them nothing, I don''t want pity from them... Izayoi: Ok, pal. Xiao Qiangwei: Well then, I will take my leave. Good Night. Izayoi: Good Night? Is it already so late? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes. Then Xiao Qiangwei left the bath while Izayoi stood there with his eyes closed. 85 Leticia Instead of sleeping, Xiao Qiangwei just cultivated the entire night, it was a bit harder since he was in another realm now, but in around 7 hours, he entered the 2nd Sovereign Profound Realm, and then got to sleep. [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei, Izayoi, Asuka, Yu, Jin and Kuro Usagi were in the Residential District of Fores Garo, but it was unexpectedly full of plants around, and instead of a mansion, it seemed like a jungle. Xiao Qiangwei: This place has a concentration of Dark energy, well, still not comparable to that of our community, but still¡­ Kuro Usagi found a Geass and read it, then she talked about it to Yu and Asuka about their situation, then Jin, Asuka and Yu left for the mansion while Kuro Usagi, Izayoi and Xiao Qiangwei were watching everything. Xiao Qiangwei: If I don''t got it wrong, this Garo should be a tiger with our same level of intellect, right? Kuro Usagi: Yes, Fores Garo, even if is an animal, he is as intelligent as us. Xiao Qiangwei: Then why the fuck is he behaving like a wild tiger? Kuro Usagi: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: I meant what I said, it seems as if the girls are fighting a demon. Izayoi: So you can see the situation too? Xiao Qiangwei: I am using my energy senses. Izayoi: Can you tell me what happens? Xiao Qiangwei: Deal with it. Izayoi: Tsk.. The Mansion started to go on fire, surprising the people outside, and Xiao Qiangwei sensed Asuka started to fight alone with the tiger, and using her gift, she won. The moment she won, all the trees disappeared at once and the mansion collapsed, then took an heavily injured Yu to the No Name community to heal her, then Jin, the current leader of the community, announced their objective to everyone that was from Garo''s community, which made them happy. [later] Xiao Qiangwei and Kuro Usagi were talking together. Xiao Qiangwei: Who''s this comrade? Kuro Usagi: Well, she is a gorgeous woman with beautiful silky golden hair that feels just like flowing silk if you use your fingers to run through them while combing. An- Xiao Qiangwei: In short? Kuro Usagi: ...She''s very thoughtful about others, having taken a role as a Guardian for me. If only she were nearby, Kuro Usagi would really want to talk to her a little... ?: Ara, those words really make me happy. Both of them turned to see a teenage girl with long golden hair smiling while she was floating. Kuro Usagi: Le... Leticia-sama! Leticia: Don''t call me sama anymore, I''m now just a possession of another person. As a ''Highborn of Little Garden'', if you were to regard a ''possession'' with respect, you would be mocked, you know? Then she entered the mansion through the window, while Xiao Qiangwei just closed his eyes and started cultivating while sitting in a chair. Leticia: Excuse my rudeness for entering through the windows, but I just wanted to see you, Kuro Usagi without letting Jin know about my visit. Kuro Usagi: Is... Is that so? Ah! Kuro Usagi will get tea for you, please wait a moment! Then she rushed to the Tea room, meanwhile Leticia just noticed Xiao Qiangwei, who was cultivating, and looked a bit around him, which was full of dark energy that was entering his body, and slowly strengthening him. He noticed her glance and opened an eye. Xiao Qiangwei: You should be Leticia, right? Leticia: Yes, who are you? Xiao Qiangwei This one''s name is Qiangwei, and is surnamed Xiao. Leticia: So you are the man with numerous Divinities? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, that''s me, you heard it from Shiroyasha? Leticia: Yeah... Then Kuro Usagi entered the room with a tray of red tea and served Leticia. Kuro Usagi: Well then, what brings you here today? Leticia: It isn''t something important. My reason for coming here was just to see the standards of the power in the new Community. As for not metting Jin, it''s because I do not have the face to meet him after all, if one were to look at the results conclusively, it was I who had injured your comrades. And when I heard that Kuro Usagi and the others announced to reconstruct the Community as No Name, I had felt indignant about it,,, Fuming over why you guys had chosen such a stupid choice. For I knew that you guys had understood that this choice would be a very tough and obstacle filled path. Just when I had obtained the chance to get in contact with you guys, to talk you guys out of it, albeit with much difficulty... I heard of a news that I couldn''t just ignore... It''s said that there''s two possessors of DIvinity who has joined your Community as your comrades. So I wanted to use this time to conduct a small test to see if the new members possess the power enough to save the Community. Xiao Qiangwei: So you were the one who reduced Garo''s mansion to a jungle... Well, I don''t care much, how do you want to test me and Izayoi then? Leticia: It is just an exchange of attacks, to see the reaction of our opponents. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh... Then Leticia made appear wings and flew out from the room, while Xiao Qiangwei followed her in air, surprising Leticia, but she recovered fast, then they were a bit away from the mansion while Kuro Usagi was spectating everything. Leticia then took out a card and used it, then a lance appeared. At that moment, Leticia raised the lance and threw it with as much strength she could muster towards Xiao Qiangwei, who catched the spear barehanded, blocking it and shocking the only two people around him. Xiao Qiangwei: Hm, not bad, I would give you a level of 1th Sovereign Realm, sorry but my physical capabilities extend over that... Then he used Purgatory, making a big gust of wind from the sudden boost of his power, and surprising Leticia and Kuro Usagi, then he slowly put himself in a throwing stance and used Falling Moon Sinking Star, throwing the lance back at her. Leticia couldn''t even see the lance that it just passed right over her left shoulder, freezing her on the spot thinking about what would happen if that lance would hit her. While Kuro Usagi was just seeing everything with wide eyes, knowing even more about Qiangwei''s capabilities, matching that of Leticia if she still had her Divinity, she already suspected that Leticia lost it, and the strength at which she thrown the lance was the proof. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it seems that I won... 86 Icy Cold Rage Leticia admitted defeat and then she, Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei decided to turn back at the mansion, until a brownish light shone over from a distance away. Leticia: That beam of light¡­ is that the Ray of Medusa?! Not good! I''ve been found! Then the ray petrified her and a large group of guys who were wearing flying sandals appeared and were taking Leticia away. Soldier: Target found! The vampire has already been petrified. Secure her immediately! Soldier 1: There''s also some No Name guys around, what are your orders? Soldier: If they try to impede our mission, you are free to silence them! Xiao Qiangwei: Kuro Usagi? What should we do? Kuro Usagi: We can''t do nothing now because Leticia is Perseus'' possession. Let''s go back to the HQ. Xiao Qiangwei knew about that and left with her, he didn''t cared much about what happened to Leticia since he just encountered her. Meanwhile the soldiers took away Leticia and started talking while slowly leaving. Soldier: My, my, with this, it''s done at last¡­. It sure scared me a little when I thought that she would run again. Soldier 1: Yeah, it''s quite a large scale trade that was lucrative enough to make us cancel the Gift Game without hesitation. If we had messed up, we of Perseus would have been unable to stay on in Thousand Eyes. Soldier 2: It''s not only that. Although it''s located outside the Little Garden''s Cities, the other trading partner is a Community that is of a national scale. If the goods were to be stolen- Kuro Usagi: Did you say outside Little Garden cities?! The soldiers who had Leticia just left while the remaining group stood there and turned to her. Kuro Usagi: What''s that about?! The Vampires, ''Knights of Little Garden'', can only withstand the rays of the Sun within the cities of Little Garden you know?! But for you to send a Vampire just like that out of the Cities of Little Garden¡­! Soldier: That''s the deal closed by my leader. Outsiders are to mind their own business! Xiao Qiangwei: Then get the fuck out from our territory, I don''t want your mere shadows to dirty the grounds. Soldier 1: You scum of the No Name, you don''t have any authorization to talk to us. Xiao Qiangwei: Cannon Fodder shoud not even have a mouth to talk Soldier: You Bastard, didn''t that bitch of your mother teached you to not disrespect adults?! [Screeeeech] Xiao Qiangwei stood in silence, at this, Kuro Usagi curiously turned towards him, and froze, because Xiao Qiangwei had an icy cold glare pointed towards the soldiers, then she remembered the words of yesterday. "What do you think it will happen when you have a longer lifespan than others and you started feel love for them?" Kuro Usagi couldn''t even move her body and her heart was beating really fast, while her instincts were telling to just surrender, because she would die the moment she moves. Xiao Qiangwei just started to unconsciously use the Devil Origin Orb and looked at the soldiers, who started trembling. Xiao Qiangwei: I dare you to repeat what you said... Soldier: I-I just called your mother w-what she is! Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Gravity Suddenly the soldiers fell to the ground, while kneeling and trying to get up, but they couldn''t do nothing. Kuro Usagi who was away from the soldiers, was affected the less from the situation, but her body was a bit bent forward, making it difficult for her to stand. Kuro Usagi: A... Domain?! Xiao Qiangwei was unaffected because it was his own domain, and didn''t respond to her, he just walked forward and then he was in front of the kneeling soldiers, then he stepped on the soldier''s head that was just in front of him, crushing it and killing the soldier. Xiao Qiangwei: No one will leave alive from now on. Illusory Realm Domain: Red Butterfly. After everyone heard those words, the area around the soldiers became a bit red, and the soldiers painfully screamed. Some dozen of seconds later, the soldiers couldn''t move anymore because they were dead, and at this moment, both the ''Red Butterfly'' and the Evil God''s Domain stopped working, from Xiao Qiangwei''s will and Kuro Usagi could stand normally again. Kuro Usagi: What happened to them? Xiao Qiangwei: I burned their soul, they are dead. Now Xiao Qiangwei raised his hand and a sky blue flame appeared, making Kuro Usagi curious because he should have either the Golden Flames and a strong Ice, he never said anything about a sky blue flame. Then the flame divided itself and floated to the soldiers'' bodies and burned them to nothingless. Kuro Usagi: Wha- Xiao Qiangwei: World Eating Flames, the things it can''t burn in the entire existence can be counted with the fingers of one hand, it can burn things like magic, or even fire itself, and not even leave ashes. I will take my leave. Then Xiao Qiangwei left Kuro Usagi, who was watching those beautiful and terrifying flames burning the soldiers of Perseus. Kuro Usagi: ''What happened to him to become like this....? *Sigh* I can''t pry on his private life... Since Leticia was here, it means that Shiroyasha knows about the deal with Perseus, time to tell it to the others...'' Then Kuro Usagi left the area and walked towards the mansion. Xiao Qiangwei was in his room and took deep breaths, calming himself, then he stretched himself in the bed to relax and closed his eyes. But before he could sleep, Kuro Usagi opened the door and told him. Kuro Usagi: Hey Qiangwei, do you want to come with us at Shiroyasha for a talk? Xiao Qiangwei turned towards her and noticed the other 3 teenagers behind her, he tried to smile and nodded. Xiao Qiangwei: It will distract me a bit... Then he left with the others and walked outside, in the mid of the night. 87 Xiao Qiangweis concept of sPowers [later] Xiao Qiangwei and the others were standing at the doorway of Thousand Eyes, and in front of them there was a clerk, the same one of Yesterday. Clerk: Your arrival has been long awaited. The shop manager and Laius-sama are waiting for you inside. Kuro Usagi: You mean to say that you have already known that we would be coming? Having done that sort of rude thing to us and you still have the cheek to say ''Your arrival has been long awaited''? Clerk: ¡­ I do not know the details of the situation, please enter to ask Laius-sama directly. Kuro Usagi was angry but she calmed down and entered with the others, then they entered the room where they should be. Laius: Woah! It''s a rabbit! Wow! It''s my first time seeing one! Although I had already heard of the rumors, but I didn''t expect that the East side would really have a rabbit! The miniskirt and garter belt sure looks pretty erotic! I say, why not come over to my Community?! I will provide you three meals, a collar and loving tender care every night for you! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Huh? Deja vu...'' Kuro Usagi was disgusted from Laius'' eyes and covered her thighs, while Asuka was in front of Laius, acting as a screen, blocking Laius'' view. Asuka: And this is¡­ Obviously a villain before us. I will state it clearly from the start that these sexy thights are something that belongs to us. Kuro Usagi: That''s right, that''s right! Kuro Usagi''s legs belong¡­ EH?! NO, that''s not right, Asuka-san! Xiao Qiangwei: Can we just stop with this fucking theater and start with it?! Everyone stood in silence and then nodded. [later] After a talk between Laius, Kuro Usagi and Shiroyasha, Xiao Qiangwei turned back at the mansion and started cultivating, while the others were discussing about Kuro Usagi''s behavior, but he didn''t cared. [5 days later] Xiao Qiangwei left the room for the first time in 5 days, he entered the 4th Sovereign Profound Realm and his combat prowess was at the 4th Divine Origin Realm, during this time everyone was worried about him, and when they seen him, they smiled. Asuka: Finally you got out from your room, what were you doing? Xiao Qiangwei: Nothing important, so, what''s the situation? Kuro Usagi: We will challenge Perseus now. Xiao Qiangwei: Oi Oi, what happened?! Izayoi: It doesn''t matter, are you coming with us? Xiao Qiangwei: Are you really asking that? Obviously I will. [later] Xiao Qiangwei and the others except for Kuro Usagi were in front of a white palace that floated in the middle of nowhere. The Gift Game was to defeat the opponent''s leader without being seen from anyone else. Xiao Qiangwei was bored so he just said. Xiao Qiangwei: Guys, I will go in first. Jin: Wait a minute, we need to think about a plan! Xiao Qiangwei: No, you guys need to think about a plan, I just need to not be seen, see ya later. Lightless Eternal Night. He used his Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night''s Domain to cover everything in darkness, the soldiers at the other side of the door couldn''t see nothing and one after another became unconscious from the hidden attacks of Xiao Qiangwei. His team couldn''t see nothing too, until the light turned once again and Xiao Qiangwei was in front of them while smiling. Xiao Qiangwei: All the 149 soldiers are down, you can pass. Yu: What happened? Xiao Qiangwei: I took all of them down, there was this guy who I couldn''t sense the presence too, but since he entered my domain, it was all useless. Now let''s go inside. Everyone nodded and followed him until they arrived at the highest level of the palace, they found Kuro Usagi and Laius who flew with sandals that had shining white wings Laius: Hmph, what a useless bunch, looks like I must do a thorough purging of trash after this business is done. But I guess with this, they will have also learnt who it is that allowed the Community to survive up till now. For this would be a great chance to make them reflect on their ineptness. Anyways, welcome to the topmost level of my White Palace. I will be your opponent as the leader of the Game.... Hm, I guess this is my first time saying that line too. Then he took out a necklace and said Laius: Well, be awakened, Demon Lord Algol. Algol: Ra.... Ra..... GEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa! Then a woman appeared, she had her body tied with many belts and restraints, then boulders fell to the ground, and everyone dodged. Laius: Oh my, humans who can''t fly sure have it tough. Even clouds that fall from the sky pose a problem to you guys. Xiao Qiangwei was behind him all the time and he didn''t noticed until he felt an hand on his shoulder and turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was flying without any help. Laius: H-How can you fly?! Xiao Qiangwei: Aww, c''mon, it isn''t such a big deal flying. Then Xiao Qiangwei pushed Laius in the ground, making him spit saliva at the crash, some moments later Laius recovered and then ordered to Algol. Laius: Destroy him! Algol! Algol turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was looking down on her, and emitted a brownish light from her mouth towards Xiao Qiangwei. Kuro Usagi was incredibly worried because she knew how strong that light was and yelled his name Kuro Usagi: Qiangwei!! He just extended an hand and used Purgatory, releasing his entire might. Then the light made contact with Xiao Qiangwei''s hand, but it didn''t go past his palm, even if the petrification wasn''t one of the things he was immune from, he still had enough raw power to block it. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Weak Almost everyone was shocked from what happened, even more so Jin and Kuro Usagi, because they knew that he doesn''t possess any gift cabable of being immune from petrifications, so they could only say that he''s doing it with just his own strength. Laius: H-How the fuck are you doing that?! No one could simply block Algol''s petrification! Are you even human?! Xiao Qiangwei: Blocking this kind of attack is that hard? You must have really low standards then. When Xiao Qiangwei said the last word, the light started getting slowly dim, until it disappeared. Then Xiao Qiangwei glanced at Algol and said. Xiao Qiangwei: I will show you what is my concept of ''power''. Then Xiao Qiangwei pointed a finger and a small ball of electricity appeared. Xiao Qiangwei: Thunder spear. Then the ball shot out in a small beam, that pierced Algol''s head, instantly killing her and shocking Laius, then Xiao Qiangwei turned to Laius with a smile. Xiao Qiangwei: This is ''Power'', simple and strong. Now, scum, you have two decisions, surrend or lose a limb, it will continue like this until you make the first decision, think about it, if you surrend, you will lose name, flag and that little pride you have. If you come here, you will either win or lose a limb. Laius directly decided to fly and attack Xiao Qiangwei with a sword, who summoned his Primordial Claws and clashed with his weapon, breaking it and tearing off the arm tha held the sword, making Laius shouting in pain, while the others winced at the scene. Xiao Qiangwei: C''mon kid, you still have 3 other attempts before death. Laius: FINE, I CHOOSE TO SURREND, JUST STOP THIS MADNESS!!! Xiao Qiangwei: DId you hear that, Kuro Usagi? Kuro Usagi: E-Eh... Perseus'' leader surrended, the No Name wins¡­ No one cheered due to the brutality of Xiao Qiangwei. Izayoi: Jesus, Wei, didn''t you exaggerate a bit? Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, that''s just what I am, I like friends but I stomp over my enemies. 88 The Letter from the Otherworld After Xiao Qiangwei singlehandledly defeated Perseus, everyone turned back at home with the statue of Leticia, when they arrived at their community, they released her from the petrification while Xiao Qiangwei was returning at his room, and told the others to do as they pleased, which was making her their maid. Xiao Qiangwei was at the house and then looked at his hand, one was normal, without scratches and anything, but the other was petrified, even if he could stop that attack with profound energy, his body is still vulnerable to petrification. Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* If I was as strong as I was in my past life... I could just crush everything. Then he used his profound energy to release his hand from petrification and stretched over his bed, and then he took a deep breath, because he sensed someone coming, so he forced a smile *knock knock* Xiao Qiangwei: it''s open. Then the door opened and Leticia came in her new maid clothes, when she was in front of Xiao Qiangwei, she bowed down. Leticia: Thank you for saving me, I heard from Kuro Usagi that you did all the work, so I came here to thank you for it. Xiao Qiangwei just raised an arm and said. Xiao Qiangwei: it''s ok, it was a bit entertaining take part of my first Gift Game. Leticia: Mh, if Qiangwei needs something then he just needs to call me. Xiao Qiangwei: Do you have any beer? Leticia: Sorry but no, the community is made from children, so there aren''t any alcohol. Xiao Qiangwei: it''s a shame, I really liked it... Then you can even go. Leticia: yes. Then she left the room, leaving Xiao Qiangwei alone, who started again his thoughts. [meanwhile] The rest of the group was at outside the mansion to start a talk about a certain argument. Kuro Usagi: hey guys, I wanted to ask you if you can help me about something. Izayoi: It''s that, right? Asuka: what are you two talking about? Kuro Usagi: it''s about Qiangwei, even if he always smile, he is really sad, I don''t know specifically what happened in his old world, but I wanted to make him really happy, can you three help me? Yu: Mh, I will do my best. Asuka: He did almost everything at the last Gift Game, so I think it is a good thing to repay him somehow. Izayoi: that guy needs to start to really smile. Kuro Usagi: Thank you guys. So, what do we do for him? Leticia then came near them. Leticia: I am here. Kuro Usagi: How did it go? Leticia: He is faking the smile. Everyone sighed and then turned towards her. Kuro Usagi: Did you find something? Leticia: It seems that he likes alcohols, especially beer. Izayoi: then let''s find the best beer for him, anything else? Leticia just shook her head and everyone started their plan to make Qiangwei happy, until something appeared just some meters from them, it was a black portal, and from it appeared a black figure covered in robes. Everyone prepared themselves for an attack until the figure raised an hand and said ?: You guys can calm down, I am not an enemy. Izayoi: Well, if you just appear in front of us from nothing, what do you think we should think? God: Jist think about me as a God, I am the ''Backing'' of your dear friend Qiangwei. Kuro Usagi: Prove it. God: first of all, I could easily destroy the entire Little Garden with just a gesture, you can even compare my strength ''Over'' the Realm of the Gods, and no one of you can be really considered even halfway in the second realm. At these words, Kuro Usagi backed a bit away with a panicked expression, and was ready to protect the childs in the room. God: And second, I am the one who gave him the Author''s Divinity. Kuro Usagi was surprised and then calmed down. Kuro Usagi: guys, you can even calm down, he''s saying the truth. Everyone did as she said and then Izayoi asked. Izayoi: so, why are you here? God: for your same reason, I wanted to make Qiangwei happy, if you guys want, I could talk about his situation. Everyone had wide eyes and then looked at each others, then they nodded and listened to the ''Author''. [2 days later] Xiao Qiangwei just came out from the bath, even if he could clean himself with his profound energy, he likes the sensation to being cleaned with pure water. Then Izayoi came inside the bath and sat near him in the giant bath. Izayoi: so, how''s going life? Xiao Qiangwei: it is good, but the Gift Game was a bit too easy. Izayoi: I know how you feel, when everything is just at your range and you need some steps to reach it. Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah... They stood in silence for some minutes before Xiao Qiangwei left Izayoi with a bye. Now he was walking around, and walked out to breath fresh air, the moment he opened the doors, he found Asuka, Yu, Kuro Usagi and Leticia in front of him with a smile and raised their arms. Everyone: Surprise!! Xiao Qiangwei just raised an eyebrow before he felt Izayoi touching his shoulder and telling him. Izayoi: Sorry pal, they already knew of your things, but enjoy this right now. Xiao Qiangwei''s expression became blank when he heard his words and sighed, then Yu came towards him with a letter in her hand. Yu: this is a letter for you, we didn''t read it so we don''t know who wrote it. Xiao Qiangwei got curious and took the letter, before opening it and read. "Dear Xiao Qiangwei, Hello dear, heh, who would have thought that the Otherworld is just like a normal one. Well, this guy who was wearing black robes came at me and told me about your situation, and I am disappointed from you. I told you that you can leave me because you shouldn''t feel sorrow for my incoming death, and you are still sad, my time already ended and I am happy of the life I got being together with you, just stop thinking about me and enjoy the life your are living now, and find your new love. From Stella Vermillion" Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes widened when he read who wrote the letter and then fell in his knees while starting crying, and no one moved towards him and watched with a smile. [later] He finally stopped crying and got up, then he turned towards his new friends with a smile. Xiao Qiangwei: Did God come here? Kuro Usagi: how did you know? Xiao Qiangwei just gave the letter to her and she read it, at the end of the letter, her eyes widened too, then looked at Xiao Qiangwei. Kuro Usagi: from the Otherworld? So the girl who wrote this is dead? Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, Stella Vermillion, she was my wife before coming here, she was a beautiful woman and an amazing person, but had only some moments of life and then the letter came, we talked a bit and said goodbye to each other, but my heart continued to ache just by thinking about her. The mood got gloomy, but Xiao Qiangwei gave a true smile at them, completely turning upside down the atmosphere and making the five people in front of him happy. Xiao Qiangwei: but... Thank you all and God for what you did for me. Izayoi: It''s nothing, pal. But if you find someone strong then give him to me. Asuka: Well, at least you stopped being sad. Yu: Mh, you are still our friend. Leticia: This is the least I could for my saviors. Kuro Usagi: ...beautiful smile... Xiao Qiangwei: eh? Kuro Usagi: eh? Izayoi: Oh? Someone fell in love. Kuro Usagi blushed and angrily hit Izayoi with a paper fan in his head. Kuro Usagi: Shut up! Then everyone started laughing while Leticia came near Xiao Qiangwei with a barrel witb a faucet and an empty glass. Leticia: In these days I tried to find the best beer for you, since you said you liked it. This is the best one I could find. Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow before he took the empty glass and used the faucet to fill the hlass with beer, then he drank a bit of it. Then he left the glass with beer over the barrel and hugged Leticia, making her yelp a bit. Xiao Qiangwei: This is the best thing I drank in my life! Good-Fucking-Job! Everyone laughed even more at the scene, and started a little party for Xiao Qiangwei''s happiness. 89 Festival [1 month and half later] Xiao Qiangwei passed more time with his new friends instead of cultivating, and now he was at 10th Sovereign Profound Realm, he even trained with ''Rumbling Heaven'', strengthening his body as much as he could, and cultivating ''Great Way of the Buddha'', but he needed 6 more months to enter the 5th stage, which would give him an arm strength of 150 Tons(from 5th and over, they are unknown, so I just put one myself). Right now Xiao Qiangwei was walking around the mansion with a glass of beer and an happy smile, since he resolved the situation with his past and erasing his inner demon, his cultivation speed increased a bit, and now he just needed a good place to breakthrough to the Divine Realm. But first he should put the foundations to enter the next realm, otherwise he would be weaker than a normal Divine Origin Practitioner, so he stopped cultivating until the moment came, because this was the most delicate moment for him, just behind the breakthrough from Divine Extinction and True God. He was surprised when he found out from Ten''notsumi that his realm was a fake version of True God Realm, and fortunately this knowledge passed even in the future reincarnations because it was part of the Cultivation part. He thought about theories and the two most normal ones were that either he needed to put foundations before ascending, or the energy around him wasn''t of the quality required, and made him enter in a Pseudo-True God Realm, weaker than an original True God. Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* I can''t even enter that realm now, why am I thinking about it... Jin: enter what? Xiao Qiangwei: oh, hey Jin, how''re you doing? Jin: good, what were you talking about? Xiao Qiangwei: it''s nothing important, just something about a mistake I did in the past... Jin: do you need to talk about it? Xiao Qiangwei: nope, I already resolved it. Jin: ok. Right, Izayoi asked to tell you something. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh? What is it? Jin: he said ''Wei, we are going to the northern district, do you want to go with us?'' Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, why not? You are going too? Jin: yes, it is me, you Asuka, Yu and Izayoi. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, wait a moment that I prepare myself. [later] They were walking in the plaza when Asuka asked Jin Asuka: So, how are we going to get to the northern district? Yu: Emmm, since we know the festival is going to be held in the northern district, won''t we reach there if we keep moving north? when they heard that, almost everyone laughed bitterly. Xiao Qiangwei: well... Yu, there are many things that are really difficult in the life, like fix our community in the timespan of 1 year, me entering the Realm of thr Gods''s power, and between these things, there is a simple human walking to the Northern district when you are in the eastern district. Yu: why? Xiao Qiangwei: because this place is as big as a motherfucking star... Jesus, this place is as big as a Star Realm from my old world, and the Little Garden is even incompleted... Seriously, who the fuck created this place? Jin: please refrain to use such language... Xiao Qiangwei: I just can''t! What did you expect when you take someone from earth and tell them the place they are right now is one million bigger than where he lived? Even if I would fly as fast as I can, I need 4 days to arrive there, and I am just behind the Divine Realm. Asuka: in 4 days? That''s impressive. Xiao Qiangwei: thanks, *Sigh* hey Jin, do you know a faster method than walking? Jin: There''s the Astral Gate, but it requires too much money for operating it. Well then, should we go back at the Community and treat everything as a joke? Xiao Qiangwei: Yeeaaahhh... No. Izayoi: me too. Asuka: three. Yu: four. Jin: *sigh* Xiao Qiangwei then raised his head and said with a smirk while pointing in the sky, precisely at North. Xiao Qiangwei: Then let''s go to a new adventure! Izayoi/Asuka/Yu: YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! Jin: Oh god... Then they walked for Thousand Eyes. [Later] When they arrived there, there was still the clerk who was seen in front of the shop. Clerk: Please leave. Asuka: We haven''t even said anything yet. Tsk... We can be counted as regulars, could you be more friendly towards us? Clerk: The so-called regulars are customers who ACTUALLY shopped here. Those who come here everytime to exchange things for cash aren''t customers, they are simply called businessmen. Xiao Qiangwei: Wait a second... Then he put the thumb and the index in his mouth and whistled, some seconds later Shiroyasha appeared from the sky, performing acrobatic movements before having a rough landing on the ground. Shiroyasha: Yahoo! You kids are finally here ahhhhhh! Xiao Qiangwei: Does this mean that we can enter the shop now? the clerk couldn''t answer at his rethorical question, then Yu talked to Shiroyasha Yu: Thank you for the invitation, but we don''t know how to go to the Northern District... Shiroyasha: Un Un, I totally understand. Please come into the shop first, if you agree to my conditions, I will be glad to pay off your transportation fee.... And I also have something to discuss with you all in private. Then the five guys followed Shiroyasha in her room. Shiroyasha: Before heading towards the main topic, I''d like to inquire about something first. After you fought with Fores Garo, there seems to be a rumour that you people want to get involved with the Demon Lords... Is that true? Asuka: Oh, that thing? Yup, it''s true. Shiroyasha: Jin-dono, as one of the tops of the community, do you agree to the said rumour? Jin: Yes, as our name and flag was forcefully taken away, in order for us to make our community well-known, I believe this is the best plan. Shiroyasha: Do you know the dangers of that? This sort of message would attract the Maous. Jin: I''m already prepared for that. But even if we want to restore our former glory, in our current situation, we can''t even advance to the next digit. Since we won''t ever have the chance to duel, we just have to attract them to attack us. Xiao Qiangwei: ''The kid grew a pair of balls of steel... I like him'' Shiroyasha: Even if you fought with Demon Lords that had nothing to do with this, will this be alright? Xiao Qiangwei: We already won against one, even if they have different powers and anything, we too have different powers, and we have already made the claim, and we will take this shit until the end. Shiroyasha: Mh... Then let''s pass to the main topic. The Eastern Floor Master would like to officially commission the community that wishes to fight Demon Lords. So how is it, Jin? Jin: Ye.... Yes! I will greatly accept it! Shiroyasha: Well then... Did you know that there will be a new Northen Floor Master? Everyone: Eh? Shiroyasha: I heard that the current floor master retired because of an illness. She must have fallen ill due to old age, as an asian dragon, she had lived for quite a long time already. The big festival this time is to inaugurate the new Fire Dragon Northern floor master. Xiao Qiangwei: ''A Dragon, huh? I wonder what would happen with my Primordial Dragon Body...'' then Shiroyasha started explaining everything, until Yu found out about the time remaining for Kuro Usagi to find them out, because they left without saying anything to her, making Xiao Qiangwei raise an eyebrow due to the situation because he didn''t knew anything. So Izayoi accepted the request Shiroyasha was just talking about and left with the others while dragging Xiao Qiangwei inside the Astral Gate [Important news] I just made a sort of rewrite of Journey of Yun Che and his Companion, it is called Journey of a Divine Sword, the start is different put the concept of being inside the mindscape will be the same. 90 Challenge [some moments later] Xiao Qiangwei, Izayoi, Asuka, Yu, Jin and Shiroyasha were already at the Northern Districts, shocking the former five, because while Xiao Qiangwei was trying to leave because he didn''t wanted to cause any problem and Izayoi was dragging him at the seat, Shiroyasha just clapped her hands and were already there. Then before they could leave to visit the city, they heard a loud and coarse voice and then an explosion near them. Kuro Usagi: I have finally found you¡­ MHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Everyone turned to find Kuro Usagi with a pissed off face and shallow red hair Xiao Qiangwei: Hiiiiiiihhh!!! Izayoi: Quickly run away! Kuro Usagi: Don''t you dare run! Yu: Eh? Wait a moment¡­? Xiao Qiangwei comically flew away from fear from being caught while Izayoi took Asuka in his hands and jumped away, meanwhile Yu was caught from Kuro Usagi, who had a really suspicious smile. Kuro Usagi: Tonight, there will be a looooooooong lecture with Kuro Usagi. Fufufu, please thoroughly prepare yourself. Yu: Un¡­ Understood. Then she threw Yu at Shiroyasha, who flew with her. Yu: AGHH! Shiroyasha: Whoaa! Oi¡­ Oi! Kuro Usagi! Haven''t you been quite rude lately! What''s more, I''m the Eastern District Floor maste- Kuro Usagi immediately interrupted her and said. Kuro Usagi: I shall leave Yu in your care then! Kuro Usagi needs to catch the other problematic children and Qiangwei! Shiroyasha: Oh¡­ is¡­ is that so, although I don''t know what happened, but good luck, Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: Good! then she jumped away following the escapists.s [meanwhile] Xiao Qiangwei was admiring the place from a building, right now he was using his ''Hidden Steps'' to hide from everyone, the place was really impressive, and so different compared to the outer gate at the Eastern District. Xiao Qiangwei: I wonder if she could find me... Who cares, later I will go to her to tell what happened... then he started to walk in a street while looking around, and disappeared from the world itself. Xiao Qiangwei was amazed from the scenario. Until he seen Izayoi with Asuka in his hands escaping in air, who were just caught from Kuro Usagi and Leticia, then all of them fell in front of Xiao Qiangwei, who slowly walked away without making noises.(Izayoi here didn''t do the bet). But he stepped on a stick and made noises, making Kuro Usagi turn towards him with a creepy smile, while Xiao Qiangwei had cold sweat over his neck, then he used lightning to charge himself and ran away. Kuro Usagi: STOP HERE QIANGWEI!!!! Xiao Qiangwei: FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuckFuck.... Xiao Qiangwei slowly started to losing ground with Kuro Usagi who ran as fast as she could, until he turned in a corner and immediately used Hidden Steps, and hid himself while running away. Kuro Usagi stopped immediately and used her rabbit ears to sense his steps, then she ran in that direction and with some difficulty, she could find Xiao Qiangwei who was running a bit slower, Xiao Qiangwei felt a pair of eyes on him and turned just to find an hand right in front of him. Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Space. When Kuro Usagi heard those words, she felt something going wrong with the area around her and then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared while she banged on the wall that Xiao Qiangwei was running to, the things the Domain could do are many, like teleport, swapping, or even distort the space around. But he liked the most swapping places with other people, right now he stopped and looked at Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: You¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Calm down woman, don''t kill me... I didn''t knew anything about the situation. Kuro Usagi: So you will surrend? Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry but my pride will not let me surrend after all the mess we did, so let''s go at the end of this instead of stopping halfway. Kuro Usagi: ''I will never catch him if he uses the Evil God''s Domain¡­ I hope it works...'' Then let''s do a Gift Game. Xiao Qiangwei: Interesting, talk. Kuro Usagi: It will be Tag, if I can catch you in 20 minutes, then I will win, otherwise it will be your victory. Xiao Qiangwei: Rules? Kuro Usagi: You will only use your physical abilities, no domain, and no gifts, I will abid at the rules too. Xiao Qiangwei smirked and nodded, telling her to continue. Kuro Usagi: The prize will be the the right of an order to either of us. Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes widened and then turned to her. Xiao Qiangwei: Isn''t that too much? You are basically giving me your life with that prize, I could even order you to give me a coin as I can order you to please me or die, are you really sure? Kuro Usagi smiled at this and said. Kuro Usagi: I used this as a prize because I trust you to not doing anything brutal with me. Xiao Qiangwei was shocked, then he started laughing. Xiao Qiangwei: I will accept your challenge! Then a Geass appeared in front of them, and it had written in... Gift Game name: Tag Rules: The game will start 10 seconds after the runner moves. You can use only physical abilities, Gifts and Domains are prohibited. Winning condition (Xiao Qiangwei): Don''t be touched from the opponent for 20 minutes. Winning condition (Kuro Usagi): Touch the opponent within 20 minutes. Losing condition: Failing to satisfy the winning condition, break the rules. Kuro Usagi: when the winner is announced, the winner''s paper will have the rights to command, while the loser''s paper will be burned Xiao Qiangwei: Nice, but I don''t think it was a good idea giving me 10 seconds. Kuro Usagi: It doesn''t matter because I will surely win. Xiao Qiangwei: Just because you are faster than me without using the Evil God''s Divine Veins it doesn''t mean that you should be confident, because I have something you will never have. Kuro Usagi: And what would it be? Xiao Qiangwei: Unlike you, in my past life I was hunted from many people because of my gifts, either they would kill me or force me to work for them, there were even people who were of one or two realms above me, but I am still alive. You know why? Kuro Usagi was a bit sad after hearing a part of his past but then got a serious look and concentrated on Xiao Qiangwei, that disappeared from his place, and surprisingly appeared just beside her. Xiao Qiangwei: I have experience... Kuro Usagi: ''How?!... Is that a ''profound technique'' like he called them? No... I don''t feel nothing wrong with the Gift Games... So it means it was achieved from just physical abilities... Tsk... He found a loophole'' Then Xiao Qiangwei disappeared with ''Trackless Step'', since it was a technique made from the combination of breathing and footwork, it didn''t broke any rule. After 10 seconds of running, Kuro Usagi jumped in a building and concentrated on her hearings, while she was doing that, Xiao Qiangwei stopped moving and slowed his heart beats. This continued for 2 minutes until Kuro Usagi sensed an anomaly and looked at where should be Xiao Qiangwei, and after concentrating a bit, he found him standing there trying to not do any sound. Kuro Usagi: ''Found you!'' Then she jumped at high speed towards Xiao Qiangwei, who moved from her way, making her crash at the ground, and then he jumped over the buildings and ran while stopping using Trackless Steps. Kuro Usagi followed him and one minute of chasing she almost touched Xiao Qiangwei, but he turned and clapped his hands as strong as he could right in front of her, stunning her vision and hearing for some seconds before she lost track of him again. Kuro Usagi: This will be really interesting... 91 Tag [5 minutes later/ 12 minutes from the end of the challenge] 1 minute ago, Xiao Qiangwei used some tricks to get away from Kuro Usagi''s eyes, and right now he was using Trackless Steps in the mid of a crowd, and was still seeing Kuro Usagi jumping over different buildings to find him, but his steps were in the mid of a crowd of people, where he would never be find unless something happens. [2 minutes later/ time remaining: 10 minutes] Xiao Qiangwei was walking with the crowd and at the same time looking at Kuro Usagi, who was still searching him, he smiled due to his certain victory, but his thoughts were interrupted from an hand in the shoulder, Kuro Usagi was still away, so he turned and his eyes widened because there was Izayoi and Asuka. Izayoi: Hey pal, how''s going your escape? Xiao Qiangwei put an hand over his mouth and a finger in his own mouth. Xiao Qiangwei: Shhhh, I am stil hiding. Kuro Usagi''s ears twitched, signaling that she found them and then turned towards him with a creepy smile. Kuro Usagi: Found youuuu! Xiao Qiangwei: shit! Bye guys. then he ran away while being watched from Izayoi and Asuka for some moments, and Kuro Usagi made a crater right at the place he was before and used the force she accumulated from the crash to sprint forward. But Xiao Qiangwei made a sharp curve, dodging the incoming bunny-bullet, that crashed with her head inside a wall, and got stuck there some seconds later she took out her head out and rubbed her head before looking around, finding nothing, so she jumped in a random direction. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was just right over the place she crashed and watched her leave while he smiled. [1 minute later/ time remaining: 9 minutes] Xiao Qiangwei was found again and runned, he was hiding in a plant, and coincidentally Kuro Usagi was passing right over him, surprising him from the coincidence while Kuro Usagi for her luck, but when she was touching him, he crouched down and jumped away, dodging her hand. Kuro Usagi: ''It was a while that I didn''t have such fun, I should start seriously...'' While Kuro Usagi was diving in her thoughts, Xiao Qiangwei was already away and laid under a bench. [8 minutes left] Xiao Qiangwei: ''ok, there''s still 8 minutes left, I can go all out in the last 5 minutes... But she will start getting serious... Well, it is hard moving in such little time from eastern district to northen district, either everyone were fucking with me and added a 0 to the distance, or her legs are really strong... HER LEGS! She''s a bunny so her legs are obviously stronger, but she''s not fast and her arms are even slower, I can use this at my advantage when I enter inside her range. I could use my footwork when the ti-'' his instincts were telling him to move and he did as it said, some moments later the bench was crushed from Kuro Usagi who had a smile in her face, and then she kicked the ground to throw herself at Xiao Qiangwei, who bended his body backwards to dodge her, while she crashed at a wall. Then Xiao Qiangwei used again ''Trackless Steps'' to run away. [4 minutes later/ 4 minutes left] Kuro Usagi was grinning and gaining ground while Xiao Qiangwei smirked, and when she was some meters behind him, he bended his body forward and stood on his hands over the ground while his feet almost touched Kuro Usagi''s face, who was surprised and halted her steps before the feets would hit her and unconsciously put her arms in front of her. But some moments later she noticed his trick and tried to see again, just to not find anything. Xiao Qiangwei was running in a dark alley while dodging things and not losing speed, instead, he accelerated, and then both of them started thinking at the same thing. Xiao Qiangwei/Kuro Usagi: ''Please, don''t end it now, I want to continue until the end!'' Now Kuro Usagi jumped in air and concentrated as much as she could on her ears, and could hear some steps getting away. Then she fell on the ground and started jumping over the buildings'' walls at a sonic speed, in 15 seconds she was already seeing Xiao Qiangwei who was grinning, and jumped towards him, but he kicked the ground and jumped away from her, then he jumped over some walls like she did before and was running over the buildings. 3:10 left. Kuro Usagi followed Xiao Qiangwei and continued their Tag. [75 seconds later/ 1:55 left] Xiao Qiangwei left the roof and landed on the streets, that was a mess due to their Gift Game. Kuro Usagi landed just behind him, but he disappeared from her vision and appeared behind her, while their backs faced each others, this was something normal for cultivators, they would use their short distance at their advantage to confuse the opponent''s eyes and move somewhere else. 1:53 left. Kuro Usagi seen it 2 seconds later and turned towards him, who was running in the streets near a pole, she jumped towards him but he unexpectedly took out the pole from it''s place and blocked Kuro Usagi''s hand from touching him, the pole bended a bit but it worked. She then tried to use her other hand but Xiao Qiangwei spinned the pole to block her other hand, then he continued to spin the pole as fast as he could, and stunned her for some time. He used this time to get away while there was a crowd that started cheering for him. 60 seconds left. Kuro Usagi recovered from her stun and searched for Xiao Qiangwei, that was found 5 seconds later. 55 seconds left. Kuro Usagi jumped over the buildings and she seen him after 4 more seconds. 51 seconds left. Xiao Qiangwei stopped moving and stomped on the ground, raising a cloud of dust and covering him from her, then she seen a shadow leaving from the cloud and was in air, and she jumped as fast as she could towards it, but she found out it was just a rock, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was running over the plaza, and with this act he won 16 seconds before Kuro Usagi was still on him. 30 seconds left. Now the real thing started, 30 seconds from the end of the game, and Kuro Usagi was going all out on him, he even started using his instincts to see her because she was too fast for him to follow with his eyes So he ran as fast as he could and crashed on a house, stunning Kuro Usagi again, because she couldn''t hear his steps with the rocks that were falling from the wall, so she entered the house too. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was hiding over the hole he himself made and escaped from it. 10 seconds left. Kuro Usagi just found out about his trick and smirked due to the time remaining for her to win, so she used as much strength she could muster to kick the ground and fly towards Xiao Qiangwei''s area. He was in the middle of the plaza, where he was being spectated from a really big group that were cheering for him, but he stumbled on a rock and almost falling, narrowly dodging Kuro Usagi that almost touched his hair, and crashed in a wall. 9 seconds left. Kuro Usagi jumped again from the wall and crashed right in front of Xiao Qiangwei, then she tried to move her arms to touch him. But he smirked and dodged her movements, while proving that his theory was correct. 7 seconds left. Kuro Usagi started to attack him with punches and kicks, but he still dodged thanks to his footwork. 6 seconds left. Everyone cheered from him, while guards were coming towards the duo who was smiling. 5 seconds left. Izayoi and Asuka were watching the just-became fight betweed Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei who was dodging her. 4 seconds left. Xiao Qiangwei clapped again in front of Kuro Usagi''s eyes, making her vision going blank for a bit and hurting again her ears due to the sound made from the clap, while Xiao Qiangwei stepped back and Kuro Usagi was walking in the unknown. 3 seconds left. When Xiao Qiangwei made a step backwards, he stumbled on an hole made from Kuro Usagi''s crash, and fell. 2 seconds left. Kuro Usagi just got out from her stun and stumbled on the same hole and fell over Xiao Qiangwei who just registered his situation. 1 second left Everyone were watching with attention about the outcome, and the guards were just behind them. Just before the countdown fell to 0, Kuro Usagi opened her mouth to make a yelp from the sudden situation but no sound came out. Because Kuro Usagi was over Xiao Qiangwei, while her entire body was pressed on him and her mouth was covered from Xiao Qiangwei''s lips. 0 seconds left. Right now Xiao Qiangwei''s Geass burned, signaling that Kuro Usagi won, but both of them didn''t cared, because they were shocked from what just happened, while Izayoi and Asuka were watching everything with a gaping mouth, and everyone else stood in silence. Kuro Usagi''s pupils shrank and her face was completely red, then she pushed away Xiao Qiangwei and crawled away before stopping and unconsciously touching her lips, then she talked. Kuro Usagi: Y-you... D-Did I just kissed you? My first kiss is gone just like that... ''but I don''t mind much... What am I saying?!'' Xiao Qiangwei just looked at her with a surprised face before noticing that his Geass disappeared. Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? It seems you won... Kuro Usagi recovered from the kiss and noticed that too, before stretching on the ground, and from the blush, it slowly started turning on laugh from the fun she had. Until... Guard: Scoundrels, you are under arrest for the damage you two caused in the town. Kuro Usagi/Xiao Qiangwei: ...Eh? 92 Authors Divinity s Advantages and Disadvantages Right now Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei were in the audience room after the mess they did at the festival with their Gift Game, with them there was Shiroyasha, Jin, the new floor master Sandora, some guards, and Mandora, the adviser of Sandora. Shiroyasha: Looks like you two caused quite a commotion eh. Xiao Qiangwei: If I knew the other kids would leave from the Community like that I would have stood in my room. Mandora: You are merely No Names, and you dare to cause such a commotion in our festival! You should prepare to face the severe consequence of your actions! Xiao Qiangwei was ready to talk back but he remembered that he was in their territory, so he kept his mouth shut. Shiroyasha: That''s enough Mandora, this matter should be decided by your leader Sandora. Sandora: Little Garden Aristocrat and allies, I''m glad that you all could partecipate in the Rise of the Dragon Festival. Regarding the damage you two did, Shiroyasha has agreed to help repair it. Fortunately there wasn''t any casualties, therefore I''ve decided to not pursue this case anymore. Mandora: Tsk¡­ Everyone else sighed in relief, then Sandora sent out everyone except for Mandora, Xiao Qiangwei, Kuro Usagi, Jin and Shiroyasha. Then Sandora revealed a cute smile. Sandora: Jin! Long time no see! When I heard that your community got attacked, I was very worried! Jin: Thanks, it''s good to see you look so spirited. This scene warmed Xiao Qiangwei''s heart and smiled at the kids that were talking to each other. Sandora: Hehe, of course. After I heard that a Demon Lord attacked your community. I wanted to visit you but Father suddenly fell sick and to follow suit the inauguration ceremony. I couldn''t find any time to visit. Jin: That can''t be helped, but I really did not expect Sandora-san to be the Floor Master- Mandora: Don''t you address her name with such insolence, you nameless brat! Mandora interrupted the talking and unsheated his sword to attack Jin, but Xiao Qiangwei catched it with a finger, that was standing in front of the blade Xiao Qiangwei: Did you really think I would do nothing when someone wants to harm my little boss? Mandora: You trash¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: My community may be trash, but remember this, I don''t need help to burn the entire Little Garden to nothingless, and no one will be able to stop me, not you, not the Thousand Eyes, not even the Demon Lords. Mandora glared daggers at him until Sandora tried to stop him, then Shiroyasha started talking. Shiroyasha: Ahem, Qiangwei, Jin, do you remember when I talked about a request before we came here? They nodded and then she took out a letter, and gave it to Xiao Qiangwei, who read it and his eyes widened before he smirked. Xiao Qiangwei: Ohhh? A Demon Lord coming here? Kuro Usagi/Jin/Mandora/Sandora: What?! Xiao Qiangwei: So, Shiroyasha, how much do you know about the Demon Lord? Shiroyasha: Almost nothing, just the normal things, like that he will do a Gift Game. Xiao Qiangwei: Then try to gather as much as you can, meanwhile I will try to put foundations on my mortal realm before ascending. Everyone started getting serious and then left the room while thinking about the incoming Demon Lord. While Xiao Qiangwei was looking around the festival, a letter fell over him, over it was written God, so he raised an eyebrow and opened the letter, and read. "Dear Xiao Qiangwei, This thing will be really important, so read it carefully, it is about your gift Author''s Divinity. That gift is really strong but at the same time it is one of the worst, since you couldn''t know it, your own strength is lesser than what it should be, because the gift is eating away your powers." Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes widened before he continued reading. "It may seem like something really bad, and it is, since you can do only 1/10 of what you should be capable, and it will stay like that until you use the Author''s Divinity, then there''s the good thing of that, the power that it''s eating away, can be released all at once with the triple of the strength. You may ask, why did I put such a restriction on you? It is because you are fucking getting lazy! Since at a certain point of your life you become too strong, I decided to put a limitation on you, you may hate me for this, but it is a secret, to see if you are worthy¡­ I want to test you if you can beat the strongest in this place while using only 1/10 of your powers, but don''t worry, if it really necessary, I will not care if you use the Author''s DIvinity, but if you use it when you could win with your current strength, then you can say bye to the travelling. PS: The gift was activated the moment you got the card. PSS: The strongest guy in that realm is around the late stage of Divine King. From God" Xiao Qiangwei was a bit pissed from the letter but he was right, before coming here, he was already too strong since he was 16 years old. Then he sighed and left to the Thousand Eyes for a bath. There he met with Izayoi, Jin and the clerk, who were talking, and noticed him. Jin: Hey Wei, how are you? Xiao Qiangwei: good, I am still waiting for the Demon Lord. Asuka just came from the bathroom while wearing a thin bathrobe, then the other females followed behind her. Asuka: Aiya? What are you chatting about in this place? Izayoi: ...Oh? This view is not too bad. Don''t you think so, guys? Xiao Qiangwei/Jin: Eh? Izayoi: You could see Kuro Usagi and Ojou-sama developed body even despite the thin clothing they are wearing from... While he was talking, Xiao Qiangwei was in his own thoughts. Xiao Qiangwei: ''1/10... I may live with that for a while... It will be a good practice'' 93 Black Plague After talking about the letter from Shiroyasha, and the Demon Lord, Xiao Qiangwei and the others were watching the fight of Yu against someone from Will-o-Wisp, and Kuro Usagi was the referee of the fight. Kuro Usagi: Sorry for the wait, everyone! The Duel of the Creators match begins now! The referee for today will be Thousand Eyes exclusive, everyone''s favorite Kuro Usagi, to serve everyone today! Extras: WOOOOOOOHHHHH! The moon rabbit really came AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!/ Kuro Usagi!!! I came here just to see you! WOOOOOOOOO!/ Today I will peep underneath your skirt AAHHHHHHHHHH!/ Guys! Look over there!! There''s that guy that stole her kiss!!/ What?!/ He will meet Divine Punishment!! Then everyone looked at Xiao Qiangwei with a glare that would make holes in his body, and chaos started against him. Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* Hey Shiroyasha, give me an entire bottle of soda, and if you can, try to amplify my voice at my signal She raised an eyebrow and did as he said, he took the bottle of soda and said. Xiao Qiangwei: this worked out when I was going at the elementary school... Then he slowly drank everything, making everyone curious while Izayoi had an idea of what would happen and grinned with anticipation. After some second, he drank everything that was inside, then he gave a thumb up to Shiroyasha, and she used one of her gifts to amplify his voice. And the sound that came from Xiao Qiangwei was one of the most menacing and grotesque one ever heard. Xiao Qiangwei: BBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUURRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Everything stood in silence and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with fear, while Izayoi and Shiroyasha were on shock. Izayoi: Holy shit, how did you even made that burp sound like a dragon roar?! Shiroyasha just nodded behind him while remembering some memories about a certain three headed dragon, that had almost the same roar. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s just a bit of practice with the kids of my old school, and I fucking love it! Even after some time, no one talked yet while Kuro Usagi trembled a bit before saying. Kuro Usagi: T-Then, let''s welcome the participants on the stage! From No Name, Kasukabe Yu, and from the other side, from the community Will-o-Wisp, Ayesha Ignis Fatuus. Then a girl with a giant pumpkin monster that was wearing a shallow black robe and holding a lantern, entered the arena Xiao Qiangwei: What the fuck is that thing? Did someone inject me with acid while I was sleeping? Asuka: It''s the real Jack-O''- Lantern!! While Xiao Qiangwei was trying to determine what the hell was that thing, Asuka, who seemed to know what it was, was shacking Izayoi''s shoulder, annoying him a bit. Later, Shiroyasha somehow, probably with her gifts, took Yu and Ayesha inside a cavern, and Kuro Usagi officially started the game, which was leaving the maze that Shiroyasha just created, but Yu lost the fight. Before they could started talking, Xiao Qiangwei sensed something wrong and looked up, followed from Izayoi. Xiao Qiangwei: ok, someone injected me with acids, who the fuck it was? Izayoi: no, those are real. Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Wait a second... Then Xiao Qiangwei flew out from his seat and took one of the things that were falling, revealing a Geass which was glowing black. While he was slowly descending, Xiao Qiangwei was reading the Geass while he started smirking. When he descended in his seat, everyone looked at the Geass with curiosity and read. "Gift Game Name: The Pied Piper of Hamelin List of Participants: Participants/hosts/communities currently in the Outer Gate 3999999 and 4000000. Competitor''s side: Host of the game: Spirit of the Sun and white night, Star Class, Shiroyasha. Winner Conditions for the host master: All participants to be massacred or pushed to submission. Winner conditions for participants: One, kill the host master. Two, Shatter the false legend, making the true legend known. Someone: The Demon Lord.... The Demon Lord has appeared AAHHHHHHHH! Xiao Qiangwei: well, Shiroyasha, give me another bottle of soda... Some minutes later, after calming down everyone and Sandora and Mandora guided them. Xiao Qiangwei, Kuro Usagi, Izayoi, Yu, Asuka and Shiroyasha were in the palace''s balcony to talk, until a black wind appeared and enveloped Shiroyasha in a translucent ball. Xiao Qiangwei tried to open the translucent ball bare handed, but suddenly the ball flew away taking Shiroyasha, surprising everyone, until Xiao Qiangwei started following the ball, trying to see where it will take him. While Izayoi jumped towards a group that was descending from the wall. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was slowly following the ball, and it was getting more near to a group of giant soldiers and loli in a black dress fighting against Leticia, he frowned a bit before separating from the floating ball and descending towards the group. Leticia: Qiangwei, you are here. ?: And who are you? Xiao Qiangwei: less talkie, more fightie! Then Xiao Qiangwei used his profound energy to appear in front of the girl and punched her, making her fly away of some kilometers. Xiao Qiangwei: I may be slower than other cultivators at my same stage, but no one fucking dares to underestimate my hits even if at 1/10 of the original strength! some moments later the girl came back with a frown, and seemed a bit hurt. ?: Then prepare to die like the others. Now she extended her arms and a black wind got out from her hands, Xiao Qiangwei narrowed his eyes and tried to grab the datk wind, and somehow did it, surprising everyone in the area, while his eyes widened. Xiao Qiangwei: what the hell is this? A poison? No... I am tempted to say it''s a disease... But I don''t know which one. The girl retracted her dark wind from Xiao Qiangwei, and then she flew against him and threw a kick, which made move Xiao Qiangwei of some meters. Xiao Qiangwei: not strong enough. Then Xiao Qiangwei used Colossal Fist of the King at her and she flew at sonic speed in the ground, and crashed while being paralyzed from pain, Xiao Qiangwei left while carrying a weakened Leticia away and to make sure the others were safe. [later] Everyone was at the VIP room talking about the Gift Game with the demon lord and the others, while Xiao Qiangwei was in his own room to enter in a special realm, it was a pseudo-Divine Origin, he was still not in that realm, but he wasn''t either in the Half Step stage, it is something like the realm that he reached after the Divine Extinction, but in this case, he just need a little more energy to enter the next realm. When he finished stabilizing his profound energy, his friends entered the door with a worried face. Xiao Qiangwei: What happened? Asuka: do you feel ill? Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow before looking at the others. Izayoi: she means if you have the black plague. Xiao Qiangwei: No, since every single part of my body becomes stronger, my blood gets stronger too, and my profound energy clean my body regularly, unless is a poison that affects my energy too, then it will be really hard to make me ill. Everyone sighed in relief and then Kuro Usagi started to explain their current situation. 94 Ascension to Divine Realm and Bullying the Demon Lord [1 week later] After the suspension period of 1 week, the gift game started again, Xiao Qiangwei was at the top of a building in the center of the town, and had a strange order, it was to shatter as many stained glass possible within the town, so he used Burning Heaven. Xiao Qiangwei: Evil God''s Domain: Wind Then, with some difficulty, he created a domain that covered almost the entire town and moved the air as fast as possible to amplify the volume of his voice. And then he roared with as much strength he could muster at the moment and broke every single glass in the domain, from windows to glass cups and stained glass too, while making the ground heavily shake, there were only a really small number of stained glasses left After that show, he turned back at Evil Soul, deactivated the domain, because it consumed some energy and took a deep breath before searching for Pest, some minutes later he seen her easily handling Kuro Usagi and Sandora, so he flew there. After some moments, he was already there blocking a fist of Pest, who was punching Kuro Usagi, shocking everyone else from his sudden appearance. Pest: Tsk¡­ It''s again you¡­ This time it will be different! Then she threw a punch at Xiao Qiangwei, who blocked it with his arm, but the punch made the arm a bit numb, surprising Xiao Qiangwei. Pest: This is the boost granted to me from His Highness(in wiki he is really called like that), now you will not even hurt me! Then she threw a kick with all of her strength, making Xiao Qiangwei crash in a building, but no one noticed the evil grin he had. Kuro Usagi: Qiangwei!!! Then both her and Sandora looked at Pest with an hint of terror while she smiled. She then tried to fly at the duo, but she was interrupted when the space around the place was distorting itself, there were even some lightning going around the building where Xiao Qiangwei crashed. Meanwhile, inside a seal in an unknown place, 3 pairs of eyes widened for a tiny amount before stopping moving. ?: Someone ascended to godhood another time¡­ But this one is different¡­ I hope he is the one. Pest, Kuro Usagi and Sandora looked towards the building where Xiao Qiangwei should be, until a light pillar appeared and pierced the sky, from the light pillar, Xiao Qiangwei was slowly floating with a grin and looked at Pest. But before she could react, Xiao Qiangwei was already in front of her and grabbed her face. Xiao Qiangwei: Surprise Motherfucker!!! Then he threw her against several buildings, while Kuro Usagi and Sandora were looking at him with wide eyes. Xiao Qiangwei: This... Is the strength of a Divine Realm Practitioner. Kuro Usagi: So... you broke through the Mortal Realm...? Xiao Qiangwei: yep, I waited until now because surprising people with such power really work as intimidation. Then Pest got up and flew to Xiao Qiangwei, and narrowed her eyes. Pest: What did you do? Xiao Qiangwei: Hm.... You can say that I just became a sort of god (In realm''s standards, not cultivation). Pest''s eyes widened before she gritted her teeth and started going all out against him, so she concentrated as much black plague possible and threw it to him, who just released a wave of ice cold profound energy, freezing everything in front of him, except for Pest, while Kuro Usagi and Sandora were behind him. Xiao Qiangwei: I forgot that the difference from a pseudo and an original was so big... Still, I want back my 9/10 of powers... ''Well, God said that he was testing me, let''s see if I can pass it.'' Meanwhile Pest had a surprised face, Weser and Ratten, her companions, were just defeated, and there were less than 10 stained glass remaining in the town, so she tried to move forward but Xiao Qiangwei talked. Xiao Qiangwei: You lost. These two words froze Pest on the spot, because he was right, Weser and Ratten lost, there was a really little number of stained glass, that could be destroyed in any moment, and the enemy in front of her reached Godhood with pure strength alone (she doesn''t know about the cultivation realm). But Pest just blindly charged with rage towards Xiao Qiangwei. Pest: It was all because of your existen- Then she was interrupted when Xiao Qiangwei extended an arm and used the 3rd stage of the Burning Record: Burning Sun Rupture, and a big blast of Golden Flames covered Pest, and burned both her and the frozen place in front of Xiao Qiangwei. They won the Gift Game, a bit too easily due to the surprise Xiao Qiangwei gave to the enemies, even if he didn''t ascended, he could just use Destroying Sky Decimating Earth to put an end to everything, but it would be too energy consuming, and could risk to kill an innocent. [tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei asked to not be disturbed due to stabilizing his cultivation, so everyone else were in a party to celebrate their first victory against a real Demon Lord, and slowly, time passed... [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was at the 5th Divine Origin Realm, and he needed only 3 months to enter the fifth stage of Great Way of the Buddha, because the ascension boosted him even in that aspect. Now, he and the others were at the desert place in the No Name community, trying to make the ground being able to be used to farm again, and with some difficulty, it was possible, so everyone was happy, while Asuka even more, since her wish to celebrate halloween can be achieved. Thanks to a new companion, Mel, who was a little yellow fairy, it seems that Asuka found her while Xiao Qiangwei was doing the Gift Game with Kuro Usagi, together with a steel giant in a god-knows-where-is cavern, and right now the fairy was attached to Asuka. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I wonder who is the guy God wanted me to fight¡­ If he is really so strong, I need to get stronger fast. For now I am going to use the dark energy around the community, maybe in 3 more months it will end...'' 95 The Beer God Emperor [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei was drinking his loved beer while sitting in a table together with the others to discuss about what happened in the month, Xiao Qiangwei was at 9th Divine Origin Realm, and his Great Way of the Buddha needed 2 more months to enter the 5th stage. (about the power that the great way of the buddha gives, i will not say anymore the number, cuz the difference from a cultivator of atg and from any other is a bit big, just know that the increase between stages is BIG) Meanwhile he trained a bit with the lightning art and created another Profound Skill for the newly named ''Great Steps to the Throne''. It is called Heavenly Railgun, using the knowledge of the previous world, he was able to reproduce the effects of a normal railgun, and amplified of several times, creating the first bullet-type profound skill ever created. The requirements to use the profound skill were: 1) Possessing any source of lightning and being able to manipulate it. 2) Earth Profound Realm It was easy to use, he just needed to freeze profound energy in a little bullet and shot it like a gun while manipulating lightning to increase the magnetic field around his fingers to shoot the frozen profound energy. Right now the group was talking about some invites they got from another community alliance. Kuro Usagi: The invitation letter this time is in hope for us to participate in the Eve celebrations for the Harvest Festival and the expenses for the traveling and accomodations will be settled by the Host. Seeing it from the perspective that we are of a No Name Community, this can be seen as a VIP treatment that far exceeds our expectations! The location is one of the top few views of South Side: The Underworld Waterfalls! It''s allure will not lose to the Edge of the World with its Great Tree and the pristine river that will be used as a stage. Kuro Usagi guarantees that all of you will be having fun! Xiao Qiangwei: I just need my beer. Asuka: *Sigh* Wei, you need to stop drinking¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Asuka, you need to stop being annoying... Asuka''s eyebrow twitched from him using her same words back at her, while Yu and Izayoi giggled a bit. Jin: Well, now I wanted to talk about a problem. Izayoi/Yu/Asuka: Problem? Jin: Yep, the festival starts in 20 days and including the eve of the festival, it would be a total of 25 days and almost a month. Games of this scale are rare and if possible, I would have wanted all of you to partecipate in it, but I cannot risk having our main force leaving the Community defeseless, so I''m hoping that a person would stay with Leticia here... Izayoi/Yu/Asaka: Not me. Xiao Qiangwei: You bunch of moron... Hey Jin, do you know what type of enemies we need to defend from? If it is low level I could just set up a barrier. Jin: Sorry Qiangwei, there is a possibility for high level enemies... Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I don''t want to stay here defending a place where it could have less than 50% of possibility to being attacked while those three go to enjoy themselves around 1 million of km away from here. Let''s do it like this, we will all go out and get the most number of trophies or aid for the community before the eve of the festival, who had more positive results will win and the one who got the worst results will stay here. Everyone nodded while smirking before Kuro Usagi started talking. Kuro Usagi: Since Qiangwei is more responsible than you three, he will unconditionally go at the festival. Xiao Qiangwei: well, I will still try to do something, it was since the mess of Pest that I didn''t do nothing. Then Xiao Qiangwei left the others while they started planning agaisnt each others. [Later] Xiao Qiangwei was in the town and was participating on a Gift Game, he was doing a competition over who drinks more cups of beer, the opponent was an old man who was confidently smirking. Old Man: Brat, you should just surender and turn to suck your mother''s breast. Xiao Qiangwei: Brat my ass, I am 80 years old you living corpse! the old man was shocked when he heard Xiao Qiangwei''s words, not expecting an human(he didn''t knew that he is 100% primordial dragon) to be so young in looks while being as old as him. Then the competition started and they drank as many glasses of beer they could, between some of them there was beer that was disgusting, making it a bit harder for the contestants, but they were drinking beer like a vacuum cleaner would clean the floor. [15 minutes later] Behind the contestants there was a really big mountain of glasses of beer, everyone was cheering for the two of them, and it seemed that the old man was surnamed ''The Beer King'', due to how much beer he drinked one time and his burp was heard in the entire Eastern Seventh Gate. [10 minutes later] The old man and Xiao Qiangwei were drinking the beer really slowly because they couldn''t take much more, the old man was srinking another glass, but he fell down while not gulping half of it, while Xiao Qiangwei took a barrel of beer out of nowhere and drank from there. When he set it down, he stood over the table and did the same thing he did at the Northern District while using the air around him to amplificate his voice. Xiao Qiangwei: BBBBBUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That burp destroyed all the glasses that were in the town and made the ground tremble while some nearby people crashed in the walls of the buildings. Meanwhile that burp extended over the boundaries of the 7th layer and entered the 6th layer, but it didn''t stopped there, instead it continued to go and entered the 5th layer too, and there it stopped. Everyone who heard that burp, stopped doing whatever they were doing, the problem childrens too, and turned towards the place where it should come from. In the town, everyone watched Xiao Qiangwei in silence, before one after another started clapping, and it turned into a cheer from the crowd, meanwhile the old man got up and offered his hand to Xiao Qiangwei, who grabbed the hand while grinning. Old Man: Congratulations, man, you beaten me. Then he turned towards the crowd. Old Man: Friends of the Beer God''s Town!! I want to declare that this hero right at my side will be the Beer God Emperor!! The one who will smash everyone with a burp!!!!! Everyone: YYEEEESSS!!!!!!!! Xiao Qiangwei smiled from what happened and as prize, he received 3 barrels of the best beer they could do in the town, and walked away after saying bye to everyone. 96 Love at First Sigh [later] After Xiao Qiangwei placed his beer barrels in his room, he just walked around the eastern district since he did have nothing to do, and while he was walking towards the town, he met with Izayoi, Asuka and Yu, who were over Deen. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey guys, Deen. What''s up? Everyone: Oh, hey Wei/Deen.(for those not informated, Deen just says deen, like a pokemon) Izayoi: I heard a really big burp before, was it you? Xiao Qiangwei: I won a competition about who would drink more beer, and I am called now the Beer God Emperor. Yu/Asuka: Eh? Izayoi: HAHAHAHAHA! I seriously don''t know what I would do without you, pal. Xiao Qiangwei: don''t worry, I know what I can do without you. Izayoi: It hurts... Right here... then he pointed at his heart while doing an hurt expression. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Don''t tell me you are gay? Yu/Asuka: Pff.... Hahahahaha! Izayoi: nope, I am 100% straight. Xiao Qiangwei: I hope so, I don''t want to be your target, I may like polygamy even if I am already married, I may have some gay friends, but I don''t want to be gay myself. Izayoi: Heh, well then, do you want to go with us at Thousand Eyes? Xiao Qiangwei: why not? I will follow you from the air. Then he started floating and flew beside Deen while they were standing over him. [later] Right now the group of four were walking because they couldn''t take Deen with them in the town, and found the shop. Clerk: ¡­You people again. Izayoi: Speaking of which, aren''t you always sweeping the floor? You never get tired of it don''t you? Clerk: Hmph. Only people who are spoilt will say things like ''I''m tired of these tasks''. Moreover, though I may be a new member, I''m still responsible for looking after this 2105380 Outer Gate''s branch shop. I''m only doing a strict choosing of my customers while baring those that may try to enter by force for only the rich hold the privilege to enter this shop! It''s not like I''m always sweeping leaves every day! Xiao Qiangwei: So.... How much time did you need to prepare that speech? the clerk''s shoulder dropped and said. Clerk: ...2 weeks... Xiao Qiangwei nodded then tried to sense what was happening inside, and had a frown when he seen Shiroyasha jumping around Kuro Usagi and another girl he didn''t knew while changing their clothes. Xiao Qiangwei: What the hell? Well, we will find out fast... *Whistles* Shiroyasha stopped doing whatever she was doing and yelled from the shop. Shiroyasha: Oh you guys came here, come inside. Clerk: *Sigh*... Please go in. Welcome. Then the group walked inside and were going towards Shiroyasha''s room until they heard. Kuro Usagi: S-S-Stop it Shiroyasha-sama!! Haven''t Kuro Usagi say that she''s an aristocrat of Little Garden?! In regards to the upkeep of appearances, Kuro Usagi will not agree to weak these sort of clothes!!! ?: J-Just as Kuro Usagi said! I''m a goddess as pure as the white snow, ....I ...I will not agree to appear before others in that sort of disgraceful appearance too...! Shiroyasha: Guhuhuu... how pure and innocent maidens you are. But because you two are so pure and innocent, it makes me want to corrupt you two even more, especially for being high class flowers! Along with those delicious and ripe, plump bodies, everyone would want to do some ***** which will cause ***** things to do ***** and cause us to make such clothes so you can do various ***** moves. That''s right! Just like what I''m doing now! Xiao Qiangwei was at loss of words from what was happening inside. Xiao Qiangwei: ''...What?'' ?/Kuro Usagi: SHUT UP YOU PERVERTED GOD! Right at that moment, a flash of lightning and a beam of water pierced Shiroyasha''s door and coincidentally were going towards the group, Xiao Qiangwei just snapped his fingers and the attacks were frozen in pure white ice. But he didn''t see Shiroyasha who was flying towards his head, some instants later their foreheads connected to each other, Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t hurt but Shiroyasha was rolling in the ground while covering her forehead in pain. Kuro Usagi: Eh? This ice... Qiangwei, are you there? Xiao Qiangwei turned towards Kuro Usagi and the mysterious person, and found them in incredibly short kimonos with garter-belts Xiao Qiangwei: ...What the fuck is happening? Kuro Usagi just seen him looking at her with a strange expression and blushed from embarassment, and trying to cover even more her body. Meanwhile the other woman turned towards him and froze there, she had black glossy hair glowing serpentine orage eyes, and blue horns, she was looking at his face with stupor. Then she muttered. Shirayuki: ...Marry me.... Xiao Qiangwei was concentrated on what was happening so he didn''t heard her. Xiao Qiangwei: What? Kuro Usagi was surprised from what she said and asked Kuro Usagi: What? Shirayuki just noticed what she said and blushed before saying Shirayuki: What? Xiao Qiangwei shrugged while Kuro Usagi was thinking something wrong was with her ears now, so she stopped caring about that, Shirayuki sighed in relief and asked. Shirayuki: Who are you? Xiao Qiangwei: My surname is Xiao and my name is Qiangwei, I am part of the No Name Community, I would like to ask for the lady''s name. Shirayuki: E-Eh? I am Shirayuki-hime, the Water God from the Edge of the World, and right now I am the servant of that guy over there. ''This guy is really educated... I wonder if he has someone...'' She pointed to Izayoi, Xiao Qiangwei turned and found him annoying Kuro Usagi for her new outfit. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Izayoi, I didn''t take you for someone who would want to have servants. Izayoi: I didn''t take you for someone with 8 or 9 Divinity too when I first met you, we have our things like you have yours. Shirayuki: He has what?! Xiao Qiangwei: Like he said, I have 9 different Divinities from different Gods. While Shirayuki was shocked from what Xiao Qiangwei had, Kuro Usagi had enough of Izayoi and used her paper fan against his head. 97 Primordial Azure Dragons Trial Part 1 [night] While Xiao Qiangwei was watching the stars while drinking the newly acquired beer, Izayoi came with a smirk and asked something strange. Izayoi: Hey pal, can I ask something? Xiao Qiangwei: Mh¡­ Izayoi: Can you talk me about how you received the Primordial Dragon''s Bloodline? Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow from the strange question before he nodded. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, it all started when I was being followed from a clan that wanted me for their objectives¡­ [flashback] A 13 years old Xiao Qiangwei was running away from a small group of cultivators, Xiao Qiangwei was currently at the 2nd Sovereign Realm, he was in the wasteland of Death, his followers were people from the Mighty Sword Region. Right now he was Burning Heaven to fly away, even if he had enough power to match against one of 10th Sovereign Profound Practitioner, behind him there were 10 of them, and he couldn''t go against them, so he used a flame domain to blind for some instants, and hid in a cavern. Inside the cavern he found 2 flood dragons with some dragon kids, who were looking at him strangely. Flood Dragon: Insect, leave from here before I make you. Xiao Qiangwei: Fuck this shit¡­ Then he raised his left arm and threw a wave of Golden fire at them, killing them in an instant and not making any noises. Then he decided to going deeper and walked inside the cavern, until he felt a majestic aura over him and raised his head, finding two enormous azure eyes looking at him. Azure Dragon: Oh? An human entered in the trial grounds¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Trial Grounds? Like the Golden Crow''s Trial Grounds? Azure Dragon: Golden Crow? I haven''t heard that name in millenias¡­ So, did you got her bloodline too? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I have 10 drops of the Golden Crow''s Bloodline and the Record of the Burning World. Azure Dragon: Mh, then, do you want to participate at my Trials? In my trial grounds, you can''t surrender, either you pass or you die, no one succeeded on the trial. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It will help me in future... And I can escape for now from those men from Mighty Sword Region...'' Yes!! Azure Dragon: I like your tone of coinfidence, remember, even if you are a Sovereign Realm Practitioner, it will be as dangerous as for anyone else coming here. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and then he felt his world twist around him, and found himself in a valley without any single spot of flora, and in front of him there was a giant gate. Azure Dragon: Your first trial is¡­ Defeat 10 waves of my stone dragon soldiers¡­ Then a small orb floated in front of Xiao Qiangwei, and it appeared to be a stone dragon soldier like the Azure Dragon said, and was as strong as a 2nd Sovereign Profound Practitioner. The statue rushed and attacked Xiao Qiangwei, but he didn''t even scratched him and was crushed under Xiao Qiangwei''s fist. Then 2 more orbs came and 2 more soldiers appeared, but didn''t do anything to Xiao Qiangwei and ended just like the previous wave. From 2, it became 4, then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256... And everyone were crushed from Xiao Qiangwei, who started getting tired of this and took a deep breath, until a pair of eyes appeared and said. Azure Dragon: Congratulations, you overcame the 9 waves, but the next challenge will be really hard, I will give you 1 full minute to rest until the 10th wave comes... Then the eyes disappeared and Xiao Qiangwei used the entire minute to rest, after that, the gates opened and revealed a colossal figure of a stone dragon, it was 3 meters tall, had an heavy armor, and was menacingly looking at Xiao Qiangwei while using a gargantuan heavy sword as tall as the dragon soldier. Xiao Qiangwei had his eyes wide open, because the cultivation rank of the stone dragon general in front of him couldn''t be seen, signaling that the statue was stronger than a 10th Sovereign Profound Practitioner, and was at the Divine Realm. The dragon suddenly disappeared, shocking Xiao Qiangwei, and appeared behind him with his greatsword over his head. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Too fast!!'' Then Xiao Qiangwei used Rumbling Heaven and blocked the hit with some difficulty, then the dragon raised again the greatsword and brought it down again, but this time he used both of his hands, Xiao Qiangwei dodged it, but flew away due to the wind the slash generated. Xiao Qiangwei then balanced himself and rushed at the dragon while using Colossal Fist of the King and Falling Moon Sinking Star, the hit took down the stone armor, leaving the dragon without armor. The dragon roared and rushed again at Xiao Qiangwei, who used Sealing Cloud Locking Sun to defend himself, but the slash was too strong and crushed the barrier before it hit Xiao Qiangwei, who was flung away like thrown rock. Xiao Qiangwei fell after some kilometers of flight, thanks to the barrier, he could survive the slash, but he seen the dragon who was flying towards him with the greatsword in his hands, Xiao Qiangwei had a bit of fear and used Destroying Sky Decimating Earth on it, and destroyed it''s head. The dragon then crashed over the ground, lifelessly, as it should be, while Xiao Qiangwei squatted from exaustation and fell unconscious... [present] Xiao Qiangwei was talking while Izayoi was listening with excitation, while he was talking, Asuka, Yu, Kuro Usagi, Leticia, Shirayuki, Jin and some other kids came to listen too, they felt as if they were in that place, where everything happened. While Xiao Qiangwei was talking, he was smiling due to his past being appreciated from so many people. 98 Primordial Azure Dragons Trials part 2 Kuro Usagi: And then what happened after you got unconscious? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I didn''t know how much time passed, but when I woke up... [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei just woke up, and he was in front of the gate from where the Stone Dragon General came from, he looked around and nothing changed, then he felt a familiar aura and looked upwards, to find the pair of azure dragon eyes. Azure Dragon: Congratulations, human child, even if you used the Evil God''s Arts, and you were a child of 13 years, you could fight against 10 waves of my stone dragon soldiers and the stone dragon general who was at the Divine Realm, I will give you time before we can start the second trial. After that, the eyes disappeared and Xiao Qiangwei sighed in relief, then he used the Great Way of the Buddha that he acquired from a beast which had a really strong body to heal himself of his broken ribs that he got in the fight. [5 hours later] Xiao Qiangwei opened his eyes and with a resolute look, he entered the gate, after some dozen of meters from the gate, it closed itself and a pair of azure eyes appeared in the darkness. Azure Dragon: Hello again, human child, are you ready for the next trial? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes! Azure Dragon: Hahahaha! I like your answer! Then, let''s continue¡­ Xiao Qiangwei felt the world around him spin, and when it stopped, he found himself in a plain full of grass, plants and some trees away from him. Azure Dragon: You need to kill 1000000 beasts in the span of 1 year, but I warn you, every single beast is at 9th and 10th Sovereign Profound Realm, while some are Half-step on the Divine Origin Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Divine Origin? Azure Dragon: In this world, the highest level you can achieve is the Half-Step on the Divine Origin, which connects the Sovereign Realm with the DIvine Realms, over that, there are 7 more levels: The first is the Divine Origin Realm, where you can start generate Divine Profound Energy, your body have qualitative changes. The second is the Divine Soul Realm, when you accumulate enough Divine Profound Energy, it will purify your soul and let it be divine, and let''s you comprehend better the laws of the world. The third is the Divine Tribulation Realm, nothing much will happen except growing in strength, but the realm is called Divine Tribulation because, once you reach the peak of the 9th of the DIvine Tribulation Realm, you will trigger Divine Punishment immediately, and the heaven will strike you. The higher is your talent, more lightning strikes you will receive from the heaven, but if you survive, then you will ascend to higher realms. The fourth is the Divine Spirit Realm, in this realm, your senses receive a qualitative changes, and your senses of auras, elements and laws will undergo vast changes. The fifth is the Divine King Realm, like in the Divine Tribulation Realm, nothing much will happen, but you will experience a big growth of strength. the sixth is the Divine Sovereign Realm, in this realm, you become strong enough to travel through dimensional cracks without any help. the seventh and last realm is the Divine Master realm, in this realm, almost nothing is impossible to do, but just taking a single step forward is as difficult as scaling the heavens. But there is an eighth realm, the Divine Extinction Realm, this can be considered to be like Half-Step to True God''s levels, and every step there will be 10 times harder than the previous one, no mortal could enter the True God''s levels and were either blocked at the DIvine Extinction, or died. But you can''t achieve these realms in this Lower Realm, you need to enter in a Star Realm to have enough energy to cultivate. Xiao Qiangwei was listening to everything with wide eyes, he never knew that the Sovereign Realm he wanted to achieve, which he did, be so weak compared to the others outside this realm, but he still got a resolute look and nodded. Xiao Qiangwei: Then, let''s start! at that moment, the Azure Dragon disappeared and many beasts, which were hidden, got out and tried to attack Xiao Qiangwei, who dodged all of them and used Purgatory to kill some of them and ran away. 8 months, this was the time he needed to complete the trial, in this time, Xiao Qiangwei got a bit taller, but the realm changes were in his strength, he broke through the Great Way of the Buddha and entered the 4th Stage, after many injuries and fights. His Profound Strength entered the 8th Stage, now it was even harder to rise, and he even used the claws of a dragon at the Half-Step to Divine Origin to make himself a weapon, creating the second Sovereign Profound Weapon ever existed in the Blue Pole after the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword. He looked up and seen the familiar pair of Azure eyes looking at him. Azure Dragon: Congratulations, human child, singlehandedly killed all the 1 million beasts in this realm in 8 months, I am surprised from your achievements, but now, we need to start the last trial... This Trial is different from the other two because it can be solved only with choices that comes from the heart itself, are you ready? Xiao Qiangwei: YES!! Azure Dragon: Mh, then we will start right now¡­ Xiao Qiangwei felt the world around him spin for the 6th time, if you count the trials of the Golden Crow, which were only 2 and were extremely dangerous, even if not at the same level of these trials. Then he found himself flying in the sky, he looked around and noticed it was the Illusory Demon Realm, the place where he was born, and in front of him, there was the man he always hated, the one who killed his parents and completely destroyed his peace, the head of the Duke Huai Palace¡­ Duke Ming, a 10th Sovereign Profound Practitioner, Xiao Qiangwei got an incredibly pissed off look on his face and released his killing intent and his full might, but he noticed it decreased and was at 3th Tyrant Profound Realm, the same realm he was when he left the Illusory Demon Realm. Duke Ming: I will give you a last chance, work with me, or I will kill both you and the crowd behind you¡­ Xiao Qiangwei turned around and found a crowd of innocent kids and elderly, his eyes widened at the familiar scene and turned to Duke Ming. Xiao Qiangwei: What the hell do you want with them?! They did absolutely nothing!! Duke Ming: I''ll take that decision as a no then... Duke Ming raised an hand and created an extremely big skull of crimson black flames, then he threw it at Xiao Qiangwei. He could dodge and make a fast strike at him, but there were people behind him that will surely be killed, so he could use the Sealing Cloud Locking Sun to protect himself and the people behind him. But it will cost much energy, weakening him, and needs a miracle to win against Duke Ming. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Tsk¡­ Give me a break¡­ It was my fault that they were in our affairs, I can''t let them die another time...'' Xiao Qiangwei rushed at the flames and used Sealing Cloud Locking Sun, successfully blocking the hit, but it greatly weakened him and had a burned arm, since he didn''t achieved yet the Fire Seed. Then Duke Ming rushed at Xiao Qiangwei and beheaded him, but he opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar darkness of the trial grounds. Azure Dragon: Congratulations, human child¡­ No, my inheritor¡­ You completed the trial, choosing the life of some group of strangers and innocent while sacrificing yours¡­ Iwas going to say that everything was an illusion, but it seems you knew it the moment you died. Xiao Qiangwei: It was my fault they died before¡­ They did nothing, and died because of my decisions, it was my fault that I took them at that place¡­ But knowing that I saved them, even if it was an illusion, it made me happy. Azure Dragon: Mh, good, now I will give you my inheritance, but I have a request before giving it to you¡­ Even if you refuse, I will give you your 3 Drops of Dragon God''s blood... [present] Everyone had wide eyes from what happened in the last two trials, and about his decisions to save a group of random people, who already died. Xiao Qiangwei: I am going to admit it, if those people were in danger for another reason, then I wouldn''t sacrifice myself, but those were my and Duke Ming''s affairs, and they died for it... Shirayuki: It''s ok, you did the right thing... Izayoi: So, what happened later? Everyone had their ears opened to listen to his story, and Xiao Qiangwei talked. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, the request of the Primordial Azure Dragon was... 99 Primordial Azure Dragons Trial Final Par [flashback] Azure Dragon: The moment you enter the Divine Realm, I would like if you will find the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: What is the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword? Azure Dragon: the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword is the strongest Heavenly Profound Treasure ever existed, if you give the sword to a normal civilian, he or she could easily kill True Gods, but it was lost in the universe and from what I know, no one still found it¡­ [present] Everyone had different reactions about the sword. Yu, Asuka, and Kuro Usagi had an hand over their mouths from shock. Izayoi was grinning like an idiot. Leticia eyes widened. While the remaining people didn''t know what was a True God, so they don''t know how mighty the sword was. Shirayuki: What is a True God? Xiao Qiangwei: First of all, my power rank is divided in 3 parts, the first is the Mortal Realm, the second is the Divine Realm, in which I am currently in, and the other gods from Little Garden are classified. And then there is the Realm of the Gods, in which a True God could treat the entire Little Garden like an ant, and stomp on it whenever he wants, destroying everything. Now try to imagine someone like Jin, our leader, who has the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, and that easily kills a True God. Right now Jin blushed a bit from embarassment from being used as an example while others had their mouths wide open from shock. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, let''s continue with the story¡­ [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei was surprised that such a weapon existed, and then asked. Xiao Qiangwei: Why I need to find it? Azure Dragon: Because a person really important for me is sealed inside it, my daughter¡­ I hope you will find the sword, and free her. Xiao Qiangwei was surprised from what he was saying and thought about it for one full hour, before he accepted the request. Azure Dragon: Thank you, since you accepted my request, and I am sure that you are not lying, I will give you two other treasures, my soul and a skeleton of your size made from my bones¡­ It will be painful, but if you can survive, you will obtain two of the most feared things in the entire Primal Chaos Dimension, the first will be the Dragon God''s Domain, which is an incredible mind domain that will scare your foe. But for the second, you will need to find out alone, because even I don''t know how it works¡­ But this power will greatly help you in the fights when you know how to use it. Xiao Qiangwei had wide eyes before he accepted it and instantly felt pain over his body, and screamed. [5 days later] The process lasted 5 days, and Xiao Qiangwei was still awake, but almost falling unconscious. Azure Dragon: I congratulate with you, to resist the pain that my treasures gave to you, and you succeesfully received both my treasures and both the abilities, I am sorry that I couldn''t help you with the second ability¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: It''s¡­. Nothing¡­. Then he fell unconscious, and tried to recover from the pain while the Azure Dragon watched and slowly disappeared. Azure Dragon: I hope you can do it¡­ Complete Inheritor¡­ Then the Azure Dragon stopped existing in the Blue Pole Star, while Xiao Qiangwei was still sleeping. [3 days later] Xiao Qiangwei woke up inside a cavern, he turned around and found out that it was the same cavern where he met with the Primordial Azure Dragon, he tried to feel his new power and found out that it is in 9th Sovereign Profound Realm. Now he looked at the exit and flew away¡­ [present] Everyone: Wow¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I was surprised too when I heard I would get the Dragon Soul and the Dragon Skeleton, but I still didn''t found out the second ability (AN: and he will not find out in this volume). Izayoi: So it means that currently you are 100% a Dragon God, but with human appearances? Xiao Qiangwei: Yep Izayoi: Neat. Kuro Usagi: Hey Qiangwei, did you find the sword? Xiao Qiangwei: This, is a bit different story... [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei was cleaning his empty palace in his own Realm, right now he was at the Divine Extinction Realm, and in 3 years he would enter the Pseudo-True God realm, after a while he was cleaning his bedroom. He looked under his bed and started removing the things under it, he found many strange things¡­ He found an orange crystal ball with 4 red stars over it(Dragon Ball), a small, bluish-purple orb that was slightly glowing(Hogyoku), a tri-bladed kunai with a small mark which was releasing mysterious space-time energy(Flying Thunder God Kunai), a green box over which was written ''Monopoly'', and the last thing he found was a white sword which released a majestic aura, he almost threw that away until he heard a voice coming from it. Sword: Hey, you feel like papa... Xiao Qiangwei: Papa? Sword: Yes, a looooooong azure dragon, even if you are human I could feel him all over you. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Don''t tell me...'' So, you are the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword? HPAS: Yes, that is the name everyone calls me, but I forgot my name... Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I will free you right now... So, how do I do it? HPAS: you just need to wish for it, I already recognized you as my master so it should be ok. Xiao Qiangwei nodded before he concentrated and used his willpower to free the daughter of the Azure Dragon, which happened. Then he opened his eyes and found a girl of around 10-11 years that was looking at him with a smile. ?: Thank you, papa! Then the girl disappeared in mist, and stopped existing. Xiao Qiangwei: Maybe her time already came from time ago, and was waiting to die... Well, at least I did it... Then the sword fell apart in fragments, which made Xiao Qiangwei smile because he planned to use that metal. [present] Asuka: So, what did you do with the broken sword? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, since the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword lost its energy, it was just a sword with strong metal, and I used that metal to make my Primordial Claws, they are incredibly strong, just as strong as the Heavenly Profound Treasures, but it didn''t have any special ability. Look at them. Then he used his Gift Card to make appear the Primordial Claws, and everyone looked at them with stars in their eyes. Everyone: Ohhhhh!!! Xiao Qiangwei: Well, now I think it''s time to sleep, I will leave first, good night. Everyone: Good night. Then Xiao Qiangwei walked away towards his bedroom 100 Harvesting Festival and Congratulations at Me for the 100th Chapter [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei, Asuka, Yu and Kuro Usagi were waiting near the Astral Gate, it seems that Izayoi lost his headphones after Xiao Qiangwei talked about his past, and he was trying to find them, so he gave the opportunity to go with them at Yu. Kuro Usagi: I wouldn''t have thought that Izayoi would forfeit his right to the spot for his headphones. Asuka: Yes. He was looking forward to this too¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I would leave the spot to someone else too if I didn''t find my beer, but fortunately I can create a pocket dimension. Yu: ...Hope he finds them. The Astral Gate was ready to be used and they walked towards it. [later] While they were walking, they found the same gryphon Yu met while doing Shiroyasha''s challenge Gryphon: It''s been some time, my friend. Welcom to my hometown. Yu: Long time no see, so this is your hometown. Gryphon: Nn. Thousand Eyes is participating in the temporary street market and I''m tasked with carrying the guards on a special two wheel war chariot here. Then the gryphon turned towards the Others. Gryphon: It''s been some time as well, Highborn of Little Garden and my friend''s friends. Kuro Usagi: Yes! It''s been some time! Xiao Qiangwei: Nice to meet you. Asuka: Long... Long time no see¡­. Is it right to reply that way, Jin? Jin: I... I guess it should be right. Xiao Qiangwei: If you guys woud like that I could be a traslator, since I am a dragon I could understand intelligent animals'' languages. Asuka: It is greatly appreciated. Gryphon: It''s still a distance from here to the city. And due to the setting up of nature reserves in the South, you must be more alert when traveling here than compared to the East or North Sides. If you are willing, I can carry you guys over. Kuro Usagi: Is it really ok?! Asuka and Jin were curious so they looked at Xiao Qiangwei Xiao Qiangwei: He is asking if you guys want to ride him to the city since the way is full of dangers Asuka and Jin were surprised before nodding and climbed at the gryphon''s back with Kuro Usagi and Yu. Gryphon: You do not want a passage? Xiao Qiangwei: I am ok, I can fly by myself, I don''t want to weight you Then Xiao Qiangwei started floating, surprising the gryphon before he nodded. Gryphon: Then¡­ Let''s go. [later] Xiao Qiangwei and the Gryphon with his passengers arrived in the city, and found an aquaintance of Yu. Ayesha: Ah! And here I was thinking who could it be¡­ So it''s Yu! What''s up? You guys gonna join the Harvest Festival too¡­. Jack: I don''t suppose that I''ve ever taught you to talk in that impolite manner, Ayesha. Xiao Qiangwei turned and found again that strange creature with a pumpkin head. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I wonder how it tastes...'' Jack shivered a bit from the bad sensation he suddenly had but hid it from others. Yu: Ayesha¡­ you came here as well. Ayesha: Ya. We also have many matters to think about on our end too! Heysu! Xiao Qiangwei: ''And I was thinking that Alice in my old world was a strange guy¡­. The fuck does Heysu mean?'' Ayesha: Come to think of it, have you guys decided on the Gift Game to partecipate in? Yu: No, we''ve just arrived. Ayesha: Then you must take part in the Hippocamp Riders for I will be taking part as well. Yu: Hippo¡­ What? Xiao Qiangwei: Jin, explain. Jin: E-Eh? Ahem! Hippocamp is a horse headed, fish tailed creature. It also has known to be a sea horse of the Eudemons. It had a pectoral fin instead of a mane and its hoods had webbed protrusions. Describing it as a half-horse and half-fish would be accurate as well, I guess¡­ This game that is called Hippocamp Riders should be a race that is held between people who ride upon them while they gallop in the water to the finish line. Xiao Qiangwei: Basically an horse raped a fish¡­ Yeah¡­ So, I am going to drink a bit¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei extended an arm in the air and a crack in the space appeared, he put an hand inside and brought out a glass full of beer and drank it while he was following the others to meet the host of the festival. Later Jack came near him and asked. Jack: Sir Qiangwei, can I have a glass too? Xiao Qiangwei: ...Where does the beer go? Jack: There are many questions that are without an answer¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I appreciate the politeness you used, people this day aren''t that polite, especially when there is no need for it¡­ Then he took another glass of a lesser quality of beer than what he was drinking, which was still really good, from his pocket dimension and gave it to Jack, who drank it and the fire mysteriously didn''t turned off, making Xiao Qiangwei raise an eyebrow. [Omake] God was sitting somewhere in his seat with closed eyes when he felt a disturbance in front of him, he opened his eyes and found something that greatly surprised him Lingyin was holding a C Cecilia was holding a O Charlotte was holding a N Laura was holding a G Chifuyu was holding a R Krul was holding a A Stella was holding a T Kuro Usagi was holding a U Leticia was holding a L Shirayuki was holding a A Xiao Qiangwei was holding a T and a I Ten''notsumi was holding a O and a N and Xiao Qiangwei''s Hand of Darkness was holding a S "CONGRATULATIONS" Everyone: God, congratulations for your 100th Chapter!!! (AN: the auxiliary doesn''t count) God: W-what? What is happening? Xiao Qiangwei: We are celebrating your 100th chapter of the Ex-True God in Animeverse! God: My 100th chapter¡­? Guys¡­ You could even not doing it, I will still continue to write for a while here. *Sob* You guys are the best¡­ 101 BBQ with Titans mea [later] They were at the Headquarters and just passed a dryad that thanked Asuka for saving a family member from the Black Plague of Pest Dryad: The Great Faerie is currently in deep sleep, so we have taken over in the task of sending the invitations. In addition, the new leader of One Horn and the representative of Draco Greif Alliance, Sala Doltrake has also specified to give you a hospitable reception. Asuka: Sala¡­ Doltrake? Could it be Salamandra''s¡­ Jin: Nn¡­ That''s right. It''s Sandora''s elder sister. But I didn''t expect her to come over to the South Side¡­ Could it be that the person who leaked the secret techniques of the North Side is¡­ Sala: I''m afraid that the word ''leaked'' is a baseless accusation, Jin Russell Then they turned to find Sala who had flaming wings and was flying, the wings emitted really hot air, but Xiao Qiangwei was unaffected and continued to drink beer. Jin: Sa¡­ Sala-sama! Sala: It''s been sometime, Jin. I''ve Always wanted for the day that we see each other again. The highborn of Little Garden behind, this should be our first meeting right? Then she dispelled her flaming wings and fell in front of them with a smile. [later] The No Names and Will-O-Wisp were following Sala in the VIP room and took a seat. Sala: Well then, let me reintroduce myself. I''m the current leader of One Horn, Sala Doltrake. As everyone woud have known by now, I''m a former member of Salamandra. I originally wanted the representatives of the two Communities to do a self-introduction¡­ But like what I had expected¡­ Jack, she didn''t come right? Jack: Yes. Unless there''s a special situation, Willa will not leave the Community grounds, and so let me, the one who''s her strategist help her express our greetings to you. Sala: Really? I really hoped to be able to invite the famous North Side''s strongest participant to come for a tour in the South Side. Yu/Asuka/Xiao Qiangwei: North Side Strongest? Ayesha: Of course that would be talking about our leader of Will-O-Wisp. Sala: That''s right. Willa the Ignis Fatus, Demon Lord of the Azure Flames is a Demon capable of freely crossing the boundaries of life and death and holds the power to interfere with the portals to the other worlds too. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I don''t get the first part, but I can do the second part too, it isn''t hard'' Sala: I heard that three years ago when I migrated to the South Side, she had suddenly decided to be more active and was sighted... There was even news of her having sealed Maxwell Demon Lord. If it were true, she wouldn''t be of the six digits. Saying that she''s of the top most of the five digits wouldn''t be giving it excessive praise. Jack: Yahoho... I wonder about the credibility of those words. But if you really want to talk about it, compared to a power of an individual, the five digits level focuses more on the average power of the Community. Even if there''s a super strong comrade, it will not be able to hold out for long. Sala: Just as Jack said, just by the power of a strong individual is unable to maintain a five digit Community, For all it takes is the appearance of an enemy that can defeat that individual, the group will easily dissolve... And an example would be Perseus of the East side right, Jin? Jin: EH? Sala: Hehe. There''s no need to hide it. No Name of the lowest level defeated a five digit Perseus has already become a well-known piece of news. And subsequently defeating that Black Death Demon Lord should be one of your members, from the info I think he was nicknamed Beer God Emperor. Everyone turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was drinking a beer. Xiao Qiangwei: What? I just burped. Sala: That burp was heard from the 5th layer too, and you were in the 7th... I don''t think that ''I just burped'' is something light... Everyone: What?! Sala: Anyways, Jin, though I''ve left my hometown, please allow me to express my gratitude... Thank you for helping Salamandra Jin: You... Your welcome... Sala: Well then, what do you guys think about Harvest Festival? Was it enjoyable? Jin: Yes. Though.... Then they started to talk while Xiao Qiangwei was ignoring everything and enjoyed his beer [later] Xiao Qiangwei was raising an eyebrow from a man eating plant created specifically to target Kuro Usagi with his tentacles that was being burned from Kuro Usagi herself. Xiao Qiangwei: I wonder how the plant works... Kuro Usagi: Mou... Stop with such thoughts!! I don''t want this plant to exist! Xiao Qiangwei: So your new objective is to extinguish an entire species because they are your predator? Kuro Usagi: Yes! Xiao Qiangwei: You need Jesus... [later] Xiao Qiangwei was in the bathroom, and had a relieved expression, until an arm came and smashed the wall where the toilet was, making Xiao Qiangwei frown and piss of the attacker''s arm. Xiao Qiangwei: ...What? Then Kuro Usagi suddenly entered the bathroom and tried to warn him, until she seen everything and blushed before slowly closing the door, while Xiao Qiangwei burned the attacker. After some seconds, Xiao Qiangwei finished and put back his pants. Xiao Qiangwei: You can enter now. There wasn''t any sound, so he opened the door to see Kuro Usagi squatted in the ground with a shocked face and muttering. Kuro Usagi: A monster... That was a monster.... *sob* That was a monster... Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, I know it''s big but don''t make such a deal for it, now what happened? Kuro Usagi: Eh? Oh right! There is an invasion from the titans!! We need all the help necessary to defeat them! Xiao Qiangwei: Ok... Is this a Gift Game? Kuro Usagi: No, it is just a simple invasion. Xiao Qiangwei: Good, I will burn everything th... He was interrupted when he glanced at the beer he bought before coming in the room, there wasn''t anymore space in his pocked dimension so he left some barrels that didn''t fit near his bedroom. But right now there was an hole in the wall and the beer was all in the ground. Xiao Qiangwei: I will fucking burn them in hell!!! Xiao Qiangwei flew out from the hole in the wall and looked at the situation, then he released his full might coupled with Purgatory, and made every titan turn at him. Xiao Qiangwei: No one. Fucking touches. My beer!!! Then he extended his arms upwards and a gargantuan golden lotus was created. Xiao Qiangwei: Red Purgatory Lotus!!! Then every petal from the lotus flew away and targeted many Titans, that caught fire and turned in ashes immediately, this continued like this for some dozen of seconds until all the titans were burned. Everyone was looking at Xiao Qiangwei as if they were looking at a Demon Lord, while Kuro Usagi, Yu, Asuka and Jin had their mouths wide open. Xiao Qiangwei just spit in the ground while he was flying and turned back in the ground to sit somewhere and drink a beer with a bad mood. 102 The Death Eye of Balor [later] After the rampage of Xiao Qiangwei about his beer against the attackers, No Name and Will-O-Wisp were in the VIP room with Sala while Xiao Qiangwei was drinking his beer. Jin: Sala-sama, what''s happening now? Wasn''t the Demon Lord that invaded Underwood 10 years ago alrady destroyed? Sala: ...Sorry. I''d actually thought of telling you of the details tonight. But I really didn''t expect those guys to act up that fast. In fact, I have another reason for inviting your Communities to come to Underwood¡­ Would you be willing to hear me out? Jin: Yes. Jack: Yahoho¡­ Nn. If it is just hearing you out, there''s no need for us to decline. Sala: I guess you would have heard that Underwood was previously attacked by a Demon Lord, right? Everyone nodded. Sala: Though we managed to defeat the Demon Lord successfully, we were left with serious wounds. Moreover, the Remnant Group of the Demon lord seem bent on getting their revenge on Underwood. Xiao Qiangwei: So those titans were part of the group? Sala: Yes, but it might not be only the titan tribe. Even those Perytons who are the lead Man killers of the Eudemons have also started to gather. Xiao Qiangwei: Is this only for revenge? Sala: No¡­ Then she took out a stone about the size of a human skull from an hidden place. Sala: This eye is their target Asuka: ¡­.Eye? You mean that piece of rock? Sala: Nn. Though it is currently sealed¡­ But if it were to be unsealed, it is said to be able to wipe out a hundred Divine Spirits within a breath. Xiao Qiangwei: Pffffff. He spit all the beer he had in his mouth after hearing that news. Xiao Qiangwei: What the hell is that?! Sala: ...This is ''The Death Eye of Balor'' Jin/Kuro Usagi: Ba...Ba...Balor''s Death Eye! Kuro Usagi: You¡­ You are joking right?! Talking about ''The Death Eye of Balor'', it''s the strongest and scariest of all Death eyes in the Celtic myths! It''s a Demon Lord eye that can kill just by one look of the Gift! While she was talking, Xiao Qiangwei scanned the rock and was shocked from the amount of dense dark energy that stone has. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I might even reach the 1th Divine Tribulation Realm in 1 month if I can refine it...'' Kuro Usagi: But ''The Death Eye of Balor'' should have vanished together with Balor''s Death. Why would it still be¡­ Sala: There isn''t anything strange about this. After some research, I learnt that the Celtic gods are mostly those that have acquired Divine Spirits. In other words, it also means that they have built up spirit levels that would allow them to rise to the level of Divine Spirits. And since it is so, it wouldn''t be too surprising to see a day when a second Balor appears. Jack: Yahoho... So, you mean for us to provide support and protect the City from being destroyed? Ayesha: It''s true that Willa Onee-san is strong, but her character is totally unsuitable for combat. Hence, unless there''s a very special situation that crops up, she wouldn''t even be willing to participate in normal Gift Games. Moreover for this kind of matter, shouldn''t it be the correct procedure to first find the Floor Master to discuss? The other party is a Community that doesn''t even follow the rules of Gift Games and ignore the laws completely, isn''t it? Sala: Unfortunately... There''s no Floor Master for South Side currently. Everyone: What?! After some minutes of silence, Sala talked again. Sala: So, for the sake of maintaining the peace of the South Side, would your Communities please lend us your strength? Jack: Though you might say like this... Sala interrupted him and placed ''The Death Eye of Balor'' in her palm. Sala: Of course, it is not without a reward. I intend to give this ''The Death Eye of Balor'' to the Community that makes the most contribution in the war. Everyone: Ah? Sala: I heard that Willa the Ignis Fatuus possess the power to pass through the portals between death and life, and this item would be very much compatible with her power, am I right? Rather than letting such an item gather dust in out hands, it would be much more beneficial if it were to be given to her to use it to its full potential.... How about that, Jack? Jack: About that... Yea, I guess it is as you said it. WIlla''s elemental affinity would be much compatible with it. But what happens if it gets into the hands of Communities other than mine? I think people beside Willa who can use ''The Death Eye of Balor'' to its full potential in lower levels... shouldn''t exist, right? Then Jack looked at the No Names, and Xiao Qiangwei talked. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I might not be able to use the Gift at the full potential, but I can refine the dark energy present inside the gift. Sala: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: It seems that gods here are created from the achievements they did, right? Sala, Jack, Kuro Usagi nodded. Xiao Qiangwei: Unlike them, I became a god just by strengthening myself, and the method is using the energy around me, so if I can refine ''The Death Eye of Balor'', I might be incredibly stronger than before, but the Gift will not work anymore and get destroyed. Sala: Nn. Now I want to talk about something else, Jin. Jin: Yes? Sala: Shiroyasha had left with me a new Gift that she wanted to gift to No Name. Jin: Eh? Sala: It''s the reward for having resolved ''The Pied Piper of Hamelin''. Then she clapped her hands twice and some servants entered with a box, which was given to Jin. Jin: Is this the new Gift? Sala: That''s right. Facing the Game ''The Pied Piper of Hamelin'' that was hosted by Black Death Demon Lord, you have met all the winning conditions. This item is the special reward for that game. You can open it to have a look. Jin did as he said and found a ring that was carved with a clown who blew a flute, the right with Grim Grimoire Hamelin''s flag. 103 The Fuck is happening here?! [later] After the talk about ''The Death Eye of Balor'', and an unexpected situation about Yu possessing Izayoi''s headphones, which are now broken, something bad is happening right now. There was another invasion from the titans, and they had even a monster with them, Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t worried about it, but the others were worried about the situation, it seems that someone who plays the harp is unbalancing things in the fight for the titan''s advantages. With them there was the Gryphon, which gave them informations about the person who is playing the harp, which seems to be an human and the commander of the invasion. Jin: Guys, I have an idea. Xiao Qiangwei: Then say it. Jin: Do you guys remember the gift that I received from Thousand Eyes? The No Names and Will-O-Wisp nodded. Jin: If the Titans are of a Celtic descent, this gift of mine should be able to cause the enemy lines to fall into confusion in a short time. But it will not be enough, I want Asuka to keep away the Titans while Wei will kill them, then Yu will take down the harp player. Xiao Qiangwei/Asuka/Yu: Understood. Then Xiao Qiangwei took Asuka and flew towards the titans. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was seeing everything from the sky and was impressed from the number of the titans present. Asuka: Hey Wei, are you sure to be able to kill them all? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, but I need 2 minutes to prepare the attack, when I give you the signal you need to get away as fast as possible, got it? Asuka nodded and then she fell to the ground while using Deen to keep at bay the titans while they suddenly heard a yell of a little girl ?: Where have you run to, SHIROYASHA!!! Everyone turned towards the voice to find Pest, in a maid outfit, Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow from that before he shrugged and raised a finger upwards before a mix of ice blue, gold and black was seen over it. That thing over Xiao Qiangwei finger became entirely black, and started to slowly expand until it instantly tripled its size, but Xiao Qiangwei concentrated everything and made it smaller, it was a bit hard to do it until the black flame ball was around a basketball size. But it contained the power the destroy the entire Blue Pole Star, his old world, if he didn''t concentrated everything in that ball, it would increase its destructive power but the range would be smaller. Xiao Qiangwei: GUYS, GET THE FUCK OUT!!!! Everyone looked up and frowned when they saw that ominous thing over Xiao Qiangwei''s finger, and ran awat from the titans, when they were in a safe place, Xiao Qiangwei lowered his finger and the black orb descended. When in his old world his mother was kidnapped from the Fire Demon Gang and he wanted to destroy their mansion, he unconsciously used his darkness attribute with the World Eating Flames, creating an upgraded version. He trained a bit with it but was incredibly destructive, so he gave up until he had a blank space where he could test it, he didn''t knew the limit of it but it was too strong, and this is the first time he consciously used it in a fight. While Yu took the harp from the harp player away and left as fast as possible towards the safe zone, the titans stopped moving and looked cluelessly at the orb descending, until someone tried to swat it away and when he touched it, it released an incredible amount of heat and cold, and then it happened... A black dome slowly expanded through the field, slowly covering the titans one after another, and nothing could be seen from outside, everyone watched with an amazed expression what was happening now. Some dozens of seconds later, the black dome covered the entire field and then it started to disintegrate itself, leaving behind a sphere shaped hole in the ground. The entire process was destructive, but no sound could be heard, everyone looked at the result with a bit of horror and amazement, while Xiao Qiangwei was taking deep breaths because the Author''s Gift was still limiting his body and the energy consuption was enormous. So he descended towards the group and took deep breaths. Xiao Qiangwei: Everything... is done... Phew... I am going to rest, that attack took a big chunk of my energy... [some days later] Xiao Qiangwei was drinking his beer while looking around, some time ago he met with Pest, who was a bit afraid of him since it was him that killed her effortlessly, then Izayoi and Leticia came too, and greeted each other before separating. Now he was staying peacefully in front of the window until he heard a song being played from an harp, which made him alarmed, then he heard a dragon roar and he felt an incredibly strong energy. Xiao Qiangwei: 4st Divine Soul... Wrong, it''s 9nd Divine Soul... This will be hard with my limited powers... Then Xiao Qiangwei tried to sense the others who were grouped together and ran towards them. Xiao Qiangwei: The fuck is happening here?! Why the hell is there a late stage Divine Soul?! Jin: It''s a pure blood dragon! Xiao Qiangwei: ''What the fuck am I to you, brat?'' Then the dragon roared another time and many scales fell from it''s body, which were transformed in giant beasts. Xiao Qiangwei: You know what? Fuck this shit... 104 News and Choice @@ Guys, I want to tell you this, I can''t choose between two things, drop the novel, or just end this volume and directly start with World Break, which will be the next one without doing all the shit of Mondaiji, I don''t want to continue anymore in that anime so I will just put an epilogue about what would happen, you will decide for me in the comments. But I suggest to read The Misadventures of the Espada, a novel in Monster Girl Quest without Lemon scenes, even if some small parts will be present, with an arrancar MC travelling with Luka and Alice. [Update] The next chapter will be an Epilogue of all this volume and we will start with World Break@@ 105 Epilogue Xiao Qiangwei was able to resolve the mess by going towards a Flying fortress created from the massive dragon, together with Izayoi and Kuro Usagi, then he used Frozen End Heaven Sealing Formation, which took 10 minutes to prepare and a huge chunk of energy, freezing everything. [5 months later] Xiao Qiangwei refined the reward, ''The Death Eye of Balor'', and cleaned entirely the No Name HQ from the dark energy, improving the air and ground in the place. He was at the 9th Divine Tribulation, and stopped there, because the moment he would reach his peak in that realm, the Divine Tribulation would start, after saving Leticia 5 months ago, she started getting even more near to Xiao Qiangwei, and sometimes he would tell a bit of his past. But right now, he was fighting with as much power he could muster against a three headed dragon, he even used Author''s Divinity, releasing a really big explosion and almost destroying Azi Dahaka, but he regenerated. Azi Dahaka: You are really strong, I don''t even recognize your gifts¡­ Even if they are one of the strongest, being able to be immune and understand the laws of any elements¡­ Possessing a body with the potential of being indestructible¡­ And power to match heaven¡­ But it is useless¡­ After I finished with you, I will go to your other companions¡­ Before, Xiao Qiangwei sent away everyone with a kick in their asses, literally, and fought Azi Dahaka alone, right now he was gritting his teeth until he got an idea. Xiao Qiangwei: Give me 5 minutes, and I will be fighting you with a stronger power¡­ Azi Dahaka thought about it until he agreed. Azi Dahaka: Alright, you can use those 5 minutes, but it will be useless¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei used the time he was given to cultivate as fast as he could, and reached the peak of the 9th Divine Tribulation Realm, meanwhile Azi Dahaka was observing his cultivation, and was intrigued from the complexity of the World-Defying Heaven Manual. After those 5 minutes, Xiao Qiangwei tackled Azi Dahaka, making him dumbfounded, until he unconsciously looked up and his eyes widened, because there were jet black clouds that were charged with a lightning he never seen and felt before. Xiao Qiangwei: If I can''t beat you, then let''s see if the Heavenly Thunder''s laws will! Right now a big black thunder crashed at Azi Dahaka and Xiao Qiangwei, the latter was concentrated on absorbing the lightning and improving his cultivation. Xiao Qiangwei: First Round¡­ Then 2 thunders crashed. Xiao Qiangwei: Second Round¡­ 4 thunders crashed, and each round was stronger than the previous, Azi Dahaka didn''t have a target for Avesta, so he was hit pretty hard from them. Xiao Qiangwei: Third Round¡­ Then 8 thunders crashed, bringing even more pain to Azi Dahaka. Xiao Qiangwei: Fourth Round... Then 16 thunders crashed, Azi Dahaka screamed while Xiao Qiangwei just entered the 2nd Divine Spirit Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Fifth Round... Then 32 thunders crashed, they were really strong, and took Azi Dahaka''s left arm, Xiao Qiangwei entered the 3rd Divine Spirit Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Sixth Round... Then 64 thunders crashed, taking away Azi Dahaka''s other arm and legs, Xiao Qiangwei entered the 4th Divine Spirit Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Seventh Round¡­ Then 128 thunders crashed, destroying 2 of the 3 heads of Azi Dahaka, and blocking his regeneration, he screamed in agony, while Xiao Qiangwei was glued to him like a magnet and a block of iron, right now he broke through the 4th Divine Spirit Realm and entered the 5th. Xiao Qiangwei: Eighth Round¡­ Then 256 thunders crashed, destroying the entire lower body of Azi Dahaka and his wings, his screames were covered from the noise of the falling thunder, Xiao Qiangwei entered the 6th Divine Spirit Profound Realm Xiao Qiangwei: Ninth Round¡­ ''If I don''t get it wrong, my record was 10 rounds¡­'' Then 512 black thunders crashed, reducing Azi Dahaka in ashes, but Xiao Qiangwei could still feel that he was alive, meanwhile he entered the 9th Divine Spirit Realm. Xiao Qiangwei: Tenth Round¡­ It seems that you are still alive¡­ Don''t worry, it''s almost finished, you dirty bastard¡­ There was a slight pause in the Divine Tribulation before the clouds made way for something, Xiao Qiangwei was curious so he looked up, but found something shining at the peak of the clouds, and it was coming down. Then, at a speed he didn''t seen, an enormous black pillar crashed, and made an hole in Little Garden, inside, Xiao Qiangwei was smiling and absorbing everything, while Azi Dahaka''s ashes disappeared, and he turned in nothingless. Everyone could watch what was happening from the entire Little Garden, at No Name Community, Kuro Usagi, who was crying at the possibility of Xiao Qiangwey dying, looked at that direction and was shocked, like the rest of the group. Kuro Usagi: What... Is that....? Leticia: It must be the divine tribulation... Izayoi/Yu/Asuka/Shirayuki/Almathea/Jin/Pest: Divine Tribulation? Kuro Usagi: Eh? Yeah... It may be that... Everyone Else: What is that? Leticia: He told me that when he would breakthrough the Divine Tribulation Realm, Heaven would make a trial for him, this should be the trial he was talking about... [meanwhile] Xiao Qiangwei was floating, and slowly flying towards the land, because under him there was an hole that got through Little Garden, his current power was the 2nd Divine King Realm. Right now he could be already considered the strongest in Little Garden, even if ''Law of Heavenly Lightning'' was upgraded to ''Law of Divine Lightning''. Then he flew towards No Name Community, and in a pair of minutes he arrived there, while getting hugged from a crying Kuro Usagi, who accidentally kissed him. [1 year later] The No Name Community became really famous from their achievements, they gained back their fame and power, escalating quickly to a 3 digits community, during this time, Shirayuki got enough courage to propose herself to Xiao Qiangwei, which was heard from Kuro Usagi and Leticia. When they revealed themselves, the three girls started to quarreling until Kuro Usagi decided to make a Gift Game, even if they ignored Xiao Qiangwei''s attempts to stop. Strangely, the game ended in a tie between them, so they all became Xiao Qiangwei''s women, much to the latter''s confusion. [4 years later] Many things happened, they became a 1 digit community, everyone in the No Name Community were happy, Izayoi was still challenging people, Yu had many different animal friends, Asuka was helping to grow their plantations, the others were doing their things like beating Demon Lords and etc... Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei, Kuro Usagi, Leticia and Shirayuki were happy being near each other. [unknown time later] Xiao Qiangwei won in a gift game and gained real immortality, and started living happily with his 3 women, they would watch the many different generations in No Name Community and other Problem Children, They even had kids, which didn''t know anything about their parents. Sometimes Xiao Qiangwei and the girls would visit as strangers for them, while helping them with something. During this unknown time, no one noticed that Xiao Qiangwei suddenly developed a second consciousness, which left the realm, leaving the other one in the other body with the women. 106 Xiao Qiangweis Character Sheet Problematic Children in another world @@ Surname: Xiao Name: Qiangwei Titles: Multi-Divinity, Beer God Emperor, The Strongest.

When the second sensation disappeared, he found himself again in the blank world, and looked around to find God, or Author. Author: Behind you. Xiao Qiangwei turned and indeed the familiar black figure of Author was there. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello again, Author. Author: So you decided to call me like that... Eh? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes. Author: Well, that name is even more appropriate than God for me, so it''s ok. Now let''s talk about it¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Nn, did I pass, or I fail? Author: Oh, you passed. Azi Dahaka''s ability was almost unbeatable no matter what, but I liked your idea to use the Divine Tribulation, so it''s ok that you used Author''s Divinity against him. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks, so¡­ about that gift¡­ Author: Don''t worry, I will not use it anymore, and I hope you stop being lazy too. Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah¡­ But what is the test for? Author: First of all, what is Immortality for you? Xiao Qiangwei: Immortality? Obviously it''s a gift to never die. Author: Wrong¡­ Immortality doesn''t exist, everything that is created will die one day, people, plants, animals, buildings, planets, even gods will die one day, and soon, I will fall too¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: ..W...What¡­? Xiao Qiangwei was shocked from what Author said, and trembled. Author: Yes, I would give 75 years, give or take¡­ And for this, I want to test you. But don''t worry, every world''s timeline is separated from this, so even if you live a billion of years in a world, here not even an instant passed. Xiao Qiangwei: What do you mean that you would die?! You are literally over the deities of any world! Author: Yes, and I already lived over 5''000''000''000''000''000''000''000''000 and something, you can add a dozen of 0 too, I don''t remember much about my age... So, I want for you to take my throne... Xiao Qiangwei: T...Throne...? Author: Yes, I always lived there, rarely I go outside, but how do you think I gained these powers? Xiao Qiangwei: You trained? Author: No, it is the throne that gave me these powers, right now I am the 4th Author in the entire creation, 3 other people were Authors too, but they couldn''t compare to me, and no one in future could compare to me. Do you get it? Xiao Qiangwei just dumbly nodded and let Author talk again. Author: Now, let''s change argument, we will start talk about the next world. Xiao Qiangwei: E-eh? Oh right... You need to take my memories, right? Author: Nope... Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? B-but... Author: This will be an experiment, in this world, you will 100% abid to their laws. Xiao Qiangwei: What do you mean? Author: In the previous 4 worlds, you abid only to 1 realm law, and it was to never go over the limit required, but this time you will abid to every laws of that realm except the one I just mentioned. Xiao Qiangwei: ...So? Author: You can''t cultivate anymore, but don''t worry, you will still have the powers you should have, like immunity to elements and other things, I will just deactivate the profound veins, but you can still use the seven gates, ok? Xiao Qiangwei: Then... How will I get stronger? Author: No spoilers, now... You can choose 3 crystal memories to take with you. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Eh? Author: You will be able to remember 3 of 4 lifetimes, and your original lifetime, but you need to decide about 3 of the 4 memories you want to take¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: ...Ok... Then he walked towards the shelf which had 2 crystal balls, and started thinking... [1 week later] Xiao Qiangwei had in his hands 1 crystal ball1 and walked towards Author. Xiao Qiangwei: I decided, I will take the two I already have and this... Author looked at the crystal ball and said. Author: Good choice, now... Author grabbed the crystal ball and moved it towards Xiao Qiangwei''s forehead, but instead of stopping at contact, it magically entered his forehead, as if assimilated from something. Then Xiao Qiangwei started to remember his past life and after some time he bowed. Xiao Qiangwei: thank you again for this opportunity... Author just waved his hand and said. Author: Don''t worry, like I said I need you for the thing I said before. Xiao Qiangwei: Mh, then I think it''s time to leave... Author: Yes, see ya later, Qiangwei. Then Xiao Qiangwei closed his eyes, and disappeared from the white world, even if Author already seen Xiao Qiangwei''s return in the next instant... Meanwhile, in another timeline, Xiao Qiangwei was floating somewhere and was smaller in size, thanks to his memories he could already know that it was the mother''s womb. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, let''s see how this shit works... Then he checked his own body but still found his Evil God''s Divine Veins, he tried to cultivate for a bit but nothing happened. Xiao Qiangwei: So this is what he meant... I just can''t cultivate... But how will I be stronger... 108 Reincarnation of a Godly Being [1 month later] Xiao Qiangwei received the summary of this realm, and indeed it was interesting... Basically in this realm, a small percentage of people remembered their past lives, and it was interesting because Xiao Qiangwei has 4 past lives that he could remember, but he missed his girls¡­ While he was in the womb, he felt an extraordinary power entering him, he tried to check what it was and found out that it wasn''t Profound Qi, but a fusion of two things that are called Prana and Mana. He tried to check how much he had, and like he was informed, he had the same quantity and quality of himself in his past life¡­ He was already a Pseudo-True God... He was shocked from it, in his first life he worked so hard for it, boosting his cultivation with Evil Seeds, gaining many legacies, and everyday it was a fight between life and death. But, he gained this power so easily right now, even if he couldn''t use even a small fraction of it because it would damage his body. Xiao Qiangwei: Maybe if I let itflow in my body everyday, I could adapt to it and increase the quantity of... Mana? Prana? What the hell should it be? Meh, I''ll call it just Qi. And in future I can use the 100% of it... Now he was leaving his mother''s womb, and Xiao Qiangwei is born once again. [later] Xiao Qiangwei was given to his new parents, which were a beauty with jet black hair and a man with white hair and a muscular body, both were smiling at Xiao Qiangwei. Mother: Hey dear, do you see him? Our cute son? Father: Yeah, I am already hoping that he would be a great man, and he didn''t lived for 1 month in the world, I even decided his name... He was interrupted when he felt a scary sensation coming from his wife, and slowly turned towards her, who was smiling at him. Mother: What did I say about the name? Father: ...T-That you would choose it... Mother: Nn, then I''ll name him... Xiao Qiangwei... Xiao Qiangwei was smiling but inside him he was thinking. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Seriously? Again that name? *Sigh* Well, time to write my name in this world too...'' [1 year later] After training with his Qi, he is able to use enough Qi to match a Tyrant Profound Practitioner, it would seem too fast, but it is incredibly hard getting stronger when one goes over the Divine Tribulation realm. People found out about him being a savior, so his parents planned to put him in a school in Japan when he is big enough. Xiao Qiangwei: ''What the hell is going on with Japan? It''s always there...'' Xiao Qiangwei''s dragon bloodline arrived to 10%, while he was trying to use his Profound Arts but his Qi didn''t let him do it with the same method he used them before, so he concentrated on his Profound Arts and Great Way of the Buddha, that he could already start cultivating since it doesn''t need Profound Energy. [4 years later] He trained even harder, and could use his Qi to match a Divine Soul Practitioner, it was getting hard adapting his body to the increse of energy, but if he didn''t do it now, it would be hard in future, right now his dragon bloodline is at 50%, while his Great way of the Buddha just entered the 3rd stage. He even found out about how to use his Profound Arts, it seems that he needs to use his Qi and chant something, he was already able to use all of his Profound Arts, and the levels were divided in: Record of the Burning World: (The skills starts from 3rd stage) 3rd Stage=chant of 2 lines 4th Stage=chant of 3 lines 5th Stage=chant of 4 lines 6th Stage=chant of 6 lines 7th Stage=chant of 9 lines 8th Stage=chant of 10 lines 9th Stage=chant of 12 lines 10th Stage=chant of 15 lines Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon: (1st to 3rd stage have the same skill) 1st-2nd-3rd Stage=chant of 3 lines. 4th Stage=chant of 5 lines 5th Stage=chant of 6 lines 6th Stage=chant of 10 lines 7th Stage=chant of 14 lines Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night 1st Stage=chant of 4 lines 2nd Stage=chant of 5 lines 3rd Stage=chant of 7 lines 4th Stage=chant of 12 lines 5th Stage(Domain)=chant of 15 lines Steps to the Throne: 2nd Stage(Evil God''s Domain)=chant of 12 lines 3rd Stage(World Eating Flames)=chant of 15 lines 4th Stage(God Eating Flames[from chap 103/the black orb] NEW)=chant of 19 lines (NEW)Divine Tribulation Lightning Art: (From Divine Tribulation) 1st Stage(Divine Lightning Sword)=chant of 3 lines (creates a sword of lightning from his hand, like sword Ki in dragon ball super) 2nd Stage(Ten Thousand Li Chasing Soul)=chant of 5 lines (chain of lightning) 3rd Stage(Five Hundred Heaven''s Tribulations)=chant of 5 lines per round, (like the Divine Tribulation, in 10 rounds.) 4th Stage(Godly Tribulation of the Emperor)=chant of 17 lines, (think about the 11th round of Divine Tribulation) Dragon God Domain=chant of 13 lines. Evil God''s Arts: 2nd Stage=chant of 5 lines 3rd Stage=chant of 10 lines 4th Stage=chant of 15 lines(no side effects) 5th Stage=chant of 20 lines(no side effects) (Incoming in future)6th Stage=chant of 25 lines Somehow, after doing the chants, he could easily remember them, he even made some friends. [10 years later] He lived happily with his family, no one knew about his increase of power, which reached the 10th Divine Extinction, he is nearing the Pseudo-True God he was in his previous life, his Great way of the Buddha reached the 6th Stage and was nearing the 7th Stage. Some years ago he could even manifest his Origin, which was the weapon he had in his previous life, the Primordial Claws, and learned to use both his dark arts(the profound arts mentioned before), and his light arts(Colossal Fist of the King, Hidden Steps,Falling Moon Sinking Star). Now he was at Akame Academy, he said bye to his parents and left for the academy for saviors. 109 A surprise, yes. But a welcomed one. Xiao Qiangwei was sitting in the auditorium and listening to what the president of the school he is right now was saying. President: I believe you''ve already been informed. You are all special people chosen from across Japan. You''ve inherited the memories of your previous lives, and you are able to use the miraculous power of the Ancestral Arts. You may hesitate at first. It may be difficult. But you must never give up. I want you to become Saviors that can break down the Metaphysicals... Xiao Qiangwei: ''Metaphysicals... Huh...?'' [flashback] Xiao Qiangwei was walking towards the school for his first day, when he met with a strange beast, it was an enormous black spider with bat wings, and it¡­ Roared?... Whatever, he attacked Xiao Qiangwei, but with a gesture that no one could even see, the Metaphysical became just a mass of meat and blood. Xiao Qiangwei: The fuck was that? A Metaphysical? If that''s so then it is a disappointment¡­ Meh, I am almost to my original level, I could even treat the Galaxy as my toy¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei continued to walk towards the accademy¡­ [present] While he was distracted with his flashback, he didn''t noticed that almost everyone left the room, he looked around and sweatdropped. Xiao Qiangwei: Where should I go¡­? He was interrupted from his thoughts when he sensed someone coming near him. ?: Hey¡­ Do you know where is the 1-A? Xiao Qiangwei turned towards her and opened his mouth, but nothing came out and his eyes widened, in front of him there was a girl a bit shorter than him, her hair were long and pink. and a cute face. Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t surprised from her beauty, but¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: ...Krul¡­? Right in front of him was the girl he loved in his second life, Krul Tepes. Krul: Eh? How do you know my old¡­ name¡­... Wei¡­ I-Is that you?! then Krul tackled him and hugged him. Krul: I really missed you! Xiao Qiangwei was a bit surprised from the meeting, but then hugged her and smiled, while looking in the ceiling. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Thank you¡­ Author...'' Krul then separated from him and started to talk happily. Krul: I really didn''t expected to find you there... Xiao Qiangwei: I didn''t expected you to be human, vampire queen. Krul pouted angrily and said Krul: Stop with that... I like being human now and you weren''t my servant for more than 4000 years in our past life... Well, for you it''s ''one of your past lifes''. About that, it seems that you gain the same power you had in your past life, does it mean that you... Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I have the same power I had in my first life. Krul: *Sigh* Even in this life you are unbeatable... Xiao Qiangwei: Meh, now we should leave for the class. Krul: Oh right. Then they walked towards their class, which was the same one. [later] They entered the class, and it was a bit empty, except for some people that were already there, Xiao Qiangwei took a seat in the center of the class, so he could have a bigger view of everything, while Krul sat at his left. While he was looking around, he sensed another one almost entering the room and tried to analyze his/her strength. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Mh, 10th Emperor Profound Realm... Pretty high for this realm standards'' Then that guy or girl opened the door, and entered, Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes widened because it was another girl from his past. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Stella? Stella: Eh? Wait... Qiangwei?! Krul: Hey Wei, who is she? Stella was walking hastily towards him and hugged him, while pushing her body at him. Stella: You are here... When you left in our past life I didn''t know what would happen to you... Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? But didn''t Author told you? Stella/Krul: Author? Who is it? Xiao Qiangwei: ...Nothing. ''It seems that Author erased their memories about him...'' Stella and Krul shrugged before they asked. Krul: So, Wei, who is she? Stella: Yeah, who is this girl? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I think you two already know of my past life... Right? Xiao Qiangwei told both of them about his real first life in the Primal Chaos Dimension to them, they nodded and then he talked again. Xiao Qiangwei: That isn''t my only past life, currently I lived 3(Mondaiji and chivalry are 1 life) lives in total, and this is the fourth, Stella, she is Krul Tepes, from my second past life, Krul, she is Stella Vermillion, from my last past life. Krul: So you are someone who knew him... A friend? Stella: No, we were married, you? Krul: I was his lover, but due to certain circumstances I couldn''t marry with him... Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok Krul, there isn''t anymore the apocalypse. Xiao Qiangwei got up and patted Krul, who nodded and smiled a bit Stella: Apocalypse? Xiao Qiangwei: Long story... It seems other people are coming here. Then, like Xiao Qiangwei said, more students entered the classroom, and then the lesson started with the teacher who just entered too, while Xiao Qiangwei was listening to everything and still training his body for his energy, Krul and Stella were talking about their past lives. But he still didn''t noticed a pair of red eyes observing him from far away. ?: ''You are here too, Qiangwei...'' The owner of the pair of red eyes had a sweet smile, after confirming it was really him. 110 I wonder how is the Otherworld The self-introductions started... Extras: I also came to this school with the aim of becoming the strongest Savior. Please take care of me everyone./It''s a mandate from heaven to have me fight for justice and peace. I will work hard to learn all I can./My most pressing goal is to get a promotion to Rank C as soon as possible. And then it was Krul''s turn. Krul: I am Krul Tepes, and I don''t have any real objective, nice to meet you. Then it was Stella''s turn. Stella: I am Stella Vermillion and my objective is being near the person I love. Extras: Look at those two girls.../I hope to being the redhead''s lover... Xiao Qiangwei heard them and sighed before using a small fraction of his True Devil Origin Orb. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Better showing them what to not do...'' It scared every male in the class and no one knew where it came from. Now it was the red eyed girl''s turn. ?: Hello everyone, I am Chizuru Chiyome, but you all can call me Kuro Usagi! Xiao Qiangwei: ''Wait what?'' Xiao Qiangwei was surprised and turned, to find Kuro Usagi without her rabbit ears and usual purple hair, Kuro Usagi noticed him and waved. Kuro Usagi: Hey Wei, it was a while that we didn''t see each other! Almost everyone got jealous of Xiao Qiangwei and were glaring daggers at him, he noticed it and said. Xiao Qiangwei: What? You want to challenge me? I''ll take you all down. Almost every male smirked at his challenge and were waiting for the sparring session. Now it was Xiao Qiangwei''s turn. Xiao Qiangwei: I am Xiao Qiangwei, I come from Japan despite my chinese name, and like I said before, you can come at me if you have something to say, I''ll give you a proper answer, I don''t care about things like Saviors or Metaphysicals, in front of me they are equally worthless. Teacher: Mmmhh... There isn''t anyone else now... We can start our lessons. Then the teacher shown a video of a giant Metaphysical killing people, which made some people puke while others resisted or were indifferent with the scene. Xiao Qiangwei: Did I enter this academy to fight that thing? I''m disappointed... Stella: Easy for you to say that, you could destroy the planet if you wished so! I may fight it alone, but it will be difficult... Krul: Yeah, I have only physical attacks so I need to get near it, and I''m not even sure if I could beat it... Kuro Usagi: Don''t worry, my legs are strong enough to kill it! Xiao Qiangwei was smiling at their behavior, it seemed they didn''t have any problem that all of them loved him, and then he looked at the screen that was showing the metaphysical. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It will be boring being here.. Oh right'' Hey Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: Yes? Xiao Qiangwei: are there Leticia and Shirayuki too? Kuro Usagi was a bit sad when she heard him and said. Kuro Usagi: no, they aren''t here... Xiao Qiangwei: Oh... Xiao Qiangwei was a bit sad that the other two didn''t reincarnated like him and the other three girls here, but he sighed and stopped caring. Xiao Qiangwei: ''I heard from Author that the otherworld is a good place, I hope they will have fun...'' [Meanwhile/Otherworld] Leticia and Shirayuki were wearing protective clothes and had a gun for each, they were hiding in different places, then they got out and shot at each other, Leticia dodged the bullets while Shirayuki was hit, and her protective clothes are painted with red paint. They were playing paintball¡­ [Back/Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei, Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi were walking in the First Training Arena to start lessons about Ancestral Arts. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey girls, how did it go in yesterday''s lessons? Krul: It was good, but I still don''t know why humans sleep from those informations... Indeed, yesterday, half of the class was sleeping while the other half was listening. Stella: Humans? But aren''t you one too? Kuro Usagi: Yeah. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh right, you don''t know it, Krul Tepes, in her previous life, was- Krul: I was the Vampire Queen of a nation. Stella: A Vampire Queen...? Kuro Usagi: Like Leticia... Well, I will introduce myself from my past life, I was Kuro Usagi, and I was a Moon Rabbit and an Aristocrat from my old world. Stella: I was a Princess of a Kingdom. Then they turned towards Xiao Qiangwei and said. Krul: Now that I think about it, you never said to me in our past life what were you... Just your stories about your past. Stella: Yeah, you never talked about it. Kuro Usagi nodded to confirm, Xiao Qiangwei always told about his past, but he never said anything about his titles or anything. Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* Then I''ll introduce too... I am Xiao Qiangwei, repeatedly called Genius, Monster and I am the Realm King of Destruction God Realm. Stella/Krul/Kuro Usagi: Ohhh. Xiao Qiangwei then looked around and found another guy in a similar situation as him, their eyes met and Xiao Qiangwei started to look with empathy at him. While the other guy, who was surrounded from two girls, one with maroon hair while at his other side the other girl had pink hair, he understood what Xiao Qiangwei was saying with those eyes full of empathy and sighed, before nodding and continued to talk with his girls. Then Xiao Qiangwei and his three girls stepped in the arena and felt a wave of sleepiness, except Xiao Qiangwei, who was immune to any element. Stella: What happened? Xiao Qiangwei: We entered in a pocket dimension... Let me analyze it... Some seconds later he knew what it was and said. Xiao Qiangwei: It seems that in this pocket dimension you can even kill people, while when you step outside the injured people will be alright, so you can just rampage as much as you want. Kuro Usagi: Hey Wei, I remember that you said that you were immune to the elements, so are you ok being here? Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t underestimate my body, even if the pocket dimension''s effects don''t work with me, I am still pretty invincible in this world. Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi were happy from his confidence and his words reassured him, so they continued to walk in the arena 111 Let me show you my power... [Later] Xiao Qiangwei was away from the girls, who were talking to each other, telling their past lives with him, he looked around and measured the power of everyone, the highest one was the power of the same guy with two girls he met before, and it was just around Krul''s level (AN: Stella: 9th Emperor Profound Realm Krul: 10th Emperor Profound Realm Kuro Usagi: 8th Sovereign Profound Realm Moroha: 10th Emperor Profound Realm Xiao Qiangwei: 10th Divine Extinction Realm[5 months later Pseudo-True God] It''s funny how we pass from a 10th Emperor to a 10th Divine Extinction...) The guy looked around too and noticed Xiao Qiangwei, he smiled and waved at him, Xiao Qiangwei shrugged and walked towards him, who was near two other girls. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello. Moroha: Hi, you must be Xiao Qiangwei, right? I am Haimura Moroha, I am in your same class. Xiao Qiangwei: Nn, like you said, I am Xiao Qiangwei, but you can call me just Qiangwei, nice to meet you. Then they shook their hands, the two girls noticed Xiao Qiangwei too and looked at Moroha, who seen their looks. Moroha: Girls, he is Xiao Qiangwei, he is in our same class, Qiangwei, they are Ranjou Satsuki and Urushibara Shizuno. Satsuki: Hi. Nice to meet you. Shizuno: Hello. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello girls, so¡­ How''s going the first day in the school? Moroha and the girls thought a bit before answering. Moroha: It was good¡­ Satsuki: Yeah, I even meet my brother! Then she hugged Moroha, while he was blushing from embarrasment from being seen from someone who he wanted to be friend with. Shizuno: It is going really good. Moroha: Sorry for Satsuki¡­ We aren''t really brothers¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, I knew a friend that married with his sister too, you don''t need to be embarassed¡­ Moroha: ''Oh thanks god...'' Well, I seen you with some people, who are they? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, they are lovers from my past life, don''t worry. Moroha: Nn... Then the lesson started, Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi were near Xiao Qiangwei, and some meters away there was Moroha with his girls. Teacher: Okay. Listen carefully. As was taught in the morning, saviors are generally separated into two groups. One group are the warriors that possess great physical abilities called ''Users of Light Techniques'' and the mages called ''Users of Dark Magics''. Since the names are too long to be used conveniently, in Japan, we call them ''White Iron'' and ''Black Mage''. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Cool, I am both...'' Teacher: Also, since I am a ''White Iron'' type; for the practical today I will be teaching you the usage of ''Light Techniques''. For those of you who are ''Black Mages'', please observe carefully from the side today. Don''t pretend that it doesn''t concern you and slack off. Some students put on a helpless expression, while Xiao Qiangwei was bored and the girls excited, Xiao Qiangwei seemed to be the only one who trained beforehand. Later, everyone tried to use prana while the other girls were trying to use it, it seemed that all 3 of them were ''White Iron'', while everyone in the class was trying to use their prana, they heard a fake laugh. Satsuki: Ho Ho Ho¡­ Look carefully! This is the true power of the great one who you all looked down on. It seemed that Satsuki was boasting about being able to use her prana, and she didn''t noticed Xiao Qiangwei who had already taken out his Primordial Claws and was doing nothing. Satsuki: When I heard about the Ancestral Arts during the pre-school briefings, I was thinking ''That''s so cool. Let''s try doing it just like in the dreams'', and I started training and finally resulted in this. Ho ho ho ho ho. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Did she hit her head somewhere? It isn''t hard using prana...'' Then his girls finally succeeded to use their prana, and talked to Xiao Qiangwei about it, he smiled and patted all three the girls. Xiao Qiangwei: Congratulations, now try to use it in your entire body. The three girls nodded before they helped each other to do as he said. Xiao Qiangwei in reality was doing the same thing the teacher asked, he was just concentrating it inside his body because if it was released externally without control, it could kill someone. Even if in this pocket dimension everyone will be ok later, he didn''t want to attract the attention. [later] He was a bit bored so he used his Qi even outside from his body, it appeared as a black aura, even if it was concentrated on his body, it gave a eerie feeling to everyone who looked at him. Then someone talked. ?: This is surprising. There actually another capable character beside me. Many people knew who it was, but Xiao Qiangwei didn''t knew and didn''t cared about it. Then the guy released his own prana, which was dark crimson. Teacher: I remember that you are the third year, Isurugi Jin''s¡­ Gen: Yup. Jin''s my elder brother. Many people took a deep breath and started to whisper to each other. Gen: I asked Jin to teach me ''Light Techniques'' from two years ago when he first entered this school. You are called Xiao Qiangwei right. So you also learned before entering this school like me?Xiao Qiangwei: It was stupidly easy, stop bragging about something so simple... Gen: Tsk... Now that I think about it you are the guy with the 3 girls... I''ll challenge you in a fight! Everyone: Eh? Xiao Qiangwei didn''t even turned towards him while he was talking. Gen: If I win a fight between the two of us, then I will take all of your girls as my women. The girls in the class were disgusted from him while the men were jealous about Xiao Qiangwei, Moroha, Shizuno, and Satsuki was disgusted too from him. While Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi sighed... Krul/Stella/Kuro Usagi: ''He will die...'' Xiao Qiangwei''s eye twitched and then finally turned to look at him. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Tsk... not even a Earth Profound Realm... He is around 1th Spirit Profound Realm...'' You think you have the power to do it...? Alright, since you and everyone here seemed to be jealous of me, I''ll show you my power... Moroha came near him and said. Moroha: You don''t need to fight him, what if he beats you? The girls were getting near Xiao Qiangwei, but when they heard what Moroha said to him, the three of them fell on the ground and started to laugh, while they were ignored from everyone, Xiao Qiangwei smiled at his behavior and answered. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, he will never beat me... He''s too weak to even try to damage me. Moroha raised an eyebrow before he shrugged and got near Satsuki and Shizuno. 112 A Power Beyond the Edge of Reason [Later] Xiao Qiangwei and Gen were away from each other for their spar, every girls in the class, and Moroha were cheering for Xiao Qiangwei, while the other males were cheering for Gen, who took out a giant double edged fierce axe Gen: Take out your weapon. Xiao Qiangwei ignored him, and the teacher just gave them permission to fight, Gen took advantage of Xiao Qiangwei, who was without a weapon at the moment, and rushed as fast as possible towards him, who stood motionless. [meanwhile] Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi were watching the spar with a smile, Moroha, Shizuno and Satsuki were curious about why they weren''t cheering for him and Satsuki asked. Satsuki: Why aren''t you girls cheering for him? You know that if he loses you will be that brute''s girlfriend? Krul: It is because he will never lose unless he give up the fight before it starts. Moroha: What do you mean? This time Kuro Usagi answered him. Kuro Usagi: He''s too strong, there is nothing that could hurt him. You can say he is something like a God. Moroha, Shizuno and Satsuki raised an eyebrow at her words and then turned to the fight. [back] Gen just jumped to make one of his strongest attacks and brought his axe upwards for slashing him. Gen: Take this! You''ll regret not taking out your weapon! Then he brought his axe downwards with extreme force and speed while grinning. But when the axe was incredibly near Xiao Qiangwei, it slowly turned in ashes, surprising almost everyone. Shizuno: What happened? I didn''t even seen him use any ability! Moroha and Satsuki were curious too and turned towards the trio of girls, who were grinning. Stella: This is not an ability, this is just pure Prana, he released his prana around a certain range from him, but it was so dense that it reduced Gen''s weapon in ashes¡­ Satsuki: How is that even possible?! You need an almost infinite amount of Prana to do it! Krul: Exactly, he has a massive amout of Prana, enough to destroy many towns just by releasing outside from his body, the quantity and density of his Prana is literally beyond the edge of reason... Shizuno: But it''s said that you will have the same amout of Prana or Mana that you had in your past life, if that''s so, then what was he in his past life... Satsuki and Moroha were shocked from her words and became curious too, the trio looked at each other and started to whisper, some moments later they separated to each other and answered. Krul: We can''t say anything without Wei''s permission, we are still talking about informations of him. Shizuno: You are right... I can''t enter in other''s private affairs, I''m sorry. Kuro Usagi: It''s nothing. [meanwhile] Gen was surprised that his axe turned in ashes, but he couldn''t stop his fall, then his upper body entered in Xiao Qiangwei''s range, and it completely disappeared, like smoke, while the lower part fell in the ground, lifeless. Almost everyone had their hands in front of their mouths from shock and disgust, while the trio of girls were smirking, the teacher panicked a bit and said to a nearby staff to take him outside from the pocket dimension and help him psychologically. After the fight, Xiao Qiangwei calmly walked towards his girls with a smile in his face, while everyone watched him with an horrified expression. Kuro Usagi: Should you be that violent? Xiao Qiangwei: Meh, either that or I will be annoyed for the entire year just because I have such beautiful girls at my side. The trio blushed at his compliment, Moroha, Satsuki and Shizuno noticed this and smiled. Satsuki: It seems that some girls have a crush... Stella: What crush? We 3 are already his women... Moroha/Satsuki: Eh?! Shizuno: So you four met together in your past lives? Xiao Qiangwei: Nope, Krul came from my second life, Stella from my third, but we were forcefully separated each other for some circumstances and many years later I got with Kuro Usagi. Moroha: Kuro Usagi? Kuro Usagi: It''s me, I am Chizuru Chiyome, but I like being called Kuro Usagi. Moroha nodded while Shizuno noticed something in Xiao Qiangwei''s words. Shizuno: third life? How many past lives you have? Xiao Qiangwei: I have 3 ''It doesn''t hurt knowing... Honestly I don''t even care... I could literally kill everyone in this Solar System in some moments... And I could use my Evil God''s Domain: Space around the entire planet'' Shizuno and Satsuki were incredibly shocked while Moroha was clueless about what he said. Satsuki: How can you have more than 1 past life?! Xiao Qiangwei: It happened... So... Wanna go eat something? Everyone nodded and followed him in the cafeteria to eat something. [Later] Moroha: So, Qiangwei, how strong are you? Xiao Qiangwei: ... Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was having flashbacks about his first life, the destruction he did around him, the people he pulverized, then the ''God-Eating Flames'' he used in his third life in the Souther District of Little Garden, which erased the Titans. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Alot... Moroha raised an eyebrow before he shrugged and eaten his hamburger, Xiao Qiangwei relaxed a bit and felt a familiar aura in the cafeteria, and turned to find Gen that was looking at him while eating many tables away from him. He was eating while his hand trembled, and when he found out that Xiao Qiangwei found him, he took his food and left hastily from the cafeteria, the other guys noticed this and then smirked. Stella: Heh, it will teach him to not being an asshole with us. Kuro Usagi: Yeah, I hate people like that, fortunately Wei is really strong... Krul nodded while eating her food, while Moroha, Satsuki and Shizuno smiled at them, before Satsuki was curious again. Satsuki: Now that I think about it... How can you all stay at the same time with Qiangwei? Are you girls jealous of each other? Kuro Usagi: Well, at the start there was some problems, but after a bit of talking with each other, we agreed to share him. Krul: Yes, and even if we would fight for him, Kuro Usagi would beaten both me and Stella... Me and Stella have a similar strength, but Kuro Usagi is in another level, even if weaker than Wei. Satsuki: Oh... I think Onii-sama will win if he were to fight with Qiangwei. Moroha: No, I will lose immediately. Shizuno: I hate to say it but he''s right, I know some of the strongest Saviors, which can easily kill an army of thousands, but if what Tepes said was right, then right now there isn''t no one that can match with Qiangwei. Satsuki: Ehhh? Shizuno: One thing is destroying a city with a strong magic or ability, but another is doing the same thing just by releasing his own Prana. It''s like comparing a man who could lift a ton of steel with a tool and a man who could the same thing bare handed. Moroha nodded and Satsuki was a bit depressed about the fact. Meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei and the others were eating their food while talking to each other. 121 Date with Stella and Deja Vu [A week later] This time it was Stella''s turn to date, and Xiao Qiangwei wore different clothes than the other time, he wore a black leather jacket, jeans, and a pair of white atlethic shoes, he took his phone, his eletronic watch, and his keys for the house, then he left. Xiao Qiangwei this time decided to jump between buildings to reach the park, and in 1 minute he reached it, and waited at the fountain, then he extended his Divine senses and found Stella that just left her house, meanwhile Krul and Kuro Usagi were in their respective houses to do their things. Xiao Qiangwei: ...What should we do... Mh, that would be good¡­ A dozen of minutes later, Stella reached the fountain and found Xiao Qiangwei waiting for him, she smiled bitterly and asked. Stella: Did you wait much for me? Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, just a dozen of minutes, don''t worry. Well, let''s go. Xiao Qiangwei was looking at Stella''s clothes, she was dressed with a white and scarlet dress which extended up to her knees and had long sleeves, she had a long ponytail, making her more charming, and was wearing white shoes without heel. Then Xiao Qiangwei, with a smile, extended his hand forward and Stella grabbed it with her own hand and pushed her body against his, before walking with him. Stella: Well, where do we go first? Xiao Qiangwei: I already planned everything, you will like it¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei surprised her by carrying her body like a princess, making her yelp, and then he disappeared from the area with an imperceptible speed. [some moments later] Xiao Qiangwei reappeared in an empty green plain, there were some trees around, but it was covered with grass, Xiao Qiangwei looked around and nodded while Stella had a green face and puked in the ground. Stella: Too¡­ Fast¡­ Blergh¡­ Xiao Qiangwei grinned a bit before patting her back, helping a bit. [2 minutes later] After Stella finished puking in the ground, she turned to Xiao Qiangwei, who still had his smile. Stella: Did you do it on purpose¡­.? Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, and now that you stopped ruining the nature with your breakfast, it''s time to start¡­ Stella: Start what? Xiao Qiangwei didn''t answered her and his finger glowed a bit before he started to slowly write in air while smiling and chanting. Xiao Qiangwei: "Spirits of the Elements, obey my words. Obey the words of your nemesis, Like the words of your creator, Grow, expand, And cover my realm. You will give me your powers, And I will give you my blessing, Spirits of the Water, obey my words, Follow my will, and expand in my domain I don''t want any traces of heat, I don''t need any flame Freeze everything that is ugly in my realm, and color my domain with white. Evil God''s Domain: Water" Then the area around flashed, and became white, Xiao Qiangwei limited the Domain only for some dozen of kilometers, instead of the maximum output which would freeze the entire planet and some nearby ones. Snow was falling over the snow that was already created in his domain, the nearby trees lost all of their leaves, and over the branches stood even more snow. The entire scenario was beautiful, but for Stella this was something even more romantic, because it was the same thing that Xio Qiangwei shown her in their past life. Stella: ...You really did it¡­ Then Stella hugged Xiao Qiangwei, and kissed him, before both fell in the snow, their tongue twisted with each other while their bodies got even more near, then Stella raised her head and looked with sweet eyes to Xiao Qiangwei''s own eyes and said. Stella: You can even not move, I''ll do everything by myself¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Then I''ll enjoy this cake right here! Then Xiao Qiangwei pulled Stella''s head towards him and kissed each other again while Stella lowered her left hand to Xiao Qiangwei''s pants. After that, they enjoyed their moment for 2 entire hours, even if it was snowing, it wasn''t cold, instead, it was warming. After they finished, they started to play with the snow, they created a snowman, and Xiao Qiangwei created a carrot made of ice for its nose, then they started to laugh at it. Later, they played with the snowballs, Xiao Qiangwei limited himself to avoid hurting Stella in the fight, but he won anyway. Then it was already evening, and Stella''s stomach grumbled, Xiao Qiangwei started to laugh at her, she blushed embarrassingly and said while playfully punch him. Stella: Stop laughing! And take me somewhere¡­ Meanie¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, alright, don''t explode on me... Then Xiao Qiangwei carried her again like a princess, and she panicked and said. Stella: W-Wait a minute! Can we go slow? Xiao Qiangwei: ¡­ Stella: ¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Nope¡­ Then before Stella could say a word, the couple vanished from the snowy area and appeared behind a tree of the park they were once, Stella''s face became once again green and started to puke again while Xiao Qiangwei smirked. [Later] Xiao Qiangwei took Stella in a really good restaurant to eat, and Xiao Qiangwei gave the freedom to Stella to choose¡­ That was one of the most stupid mistakes Xiao Qiangwei did in his life¡­ Because Stella almost emptied his wallet, but if it was to make her happy, then he didn''t hesitated, even if he would regret a bit later¡­ They eaten together in a table in front of the window, which was showing a good view of outside, and this time Stella eaten so many things that she surprised Xiao Qiangwei too, who gotten used about her stomach. They talked about random things, and when they finished eating, they left the restaurant after paying for the food, Xiao Qiangwei walked with Stella to her home, and kissed each other before separating, and this date ended too. 114 Dreadnought-Class Metaphysical [Later] The group didn''t wanted anymore to stay in the park and walked to the market to buy some clothings and accessories for the girls, and maybe something for Xiao Qiangwei, but he had something to do right away. Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry girls, I need to go to the bathroom, you three can go on, I can still sense you. Krul/Stella/Kuro Usagi: Alright. Since Xiao Qiangwei wasn''t anymore a cultivator, he needed to feed himself at least 3 times each day, clean his body with a shower, and do other things that really strong cultivators could even decide to not do. Some seconds later he found a bathroom and entered, then he lowered his pants and sat on the toilet to poop. At this moment, he felt something coming nearby. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Eh? A metaphysical here? Meh, the girls can kill it...'' [Meanwhile] *Crash* A giant snake with a single eye crashed in the market, surprising everyone, the girls included, so they prepared themselves to fight. Stella: Who will go? Krul: I will go. Kuro Usagi nodded and she and Stella relaxed themselves while Krul covered herself with prana and made appear her weapon, which was a blood red rapier, then she jumped and landed right over the snake''s head, piercing it with the rapier and instantly killing it. Then 7 more snakes appeared in the market, and attacked Krul, who killed them with fast movements and piercing each head. Then she jumped back near the girls and stopped using prana while making her weapon disappear. Krul: It was easy. Stella: Well, it''s pretty weak for us, I wonder what is doing Wei right now. [Meanwhile] *Loud Fart* Xiao Qiangwei: Jeez¡­ I should stop eating that much¡­ [Later] Xiao Qiangwei grouped together with the girls after leaving the bathroom. Xiao Qiangwei: So, how did the fight with the metaphysical go? Kuro Usagi: Krul did everything in les than 5 minutes. Xiao Qiangwei smiled and patted Krul''s head. Xiao Qiangwei: Good job Krul, so, what was the metaphysical? Krul: It was an eight-headed hydra. Xiao Qiangwei: A eight headed metaphysical here? What the fuck are the other Saviors doi- Hmm? He was interrupted when he sensed another metaphysical coming towards him, it was another giant snake with nine eyes, it tried to use his poison gas at Xiao Qiangwei, while he just stood there, and took it. But shocking almost everyone, the metaphysical included, only the place around Xiao Qiangwei and his clothes were petrified, while he himself was ok, and there wasn''t even a trace of prana or mana in his body that should protect him. Known only to himself, it was the Great Way of the Buddha, which was at the 6th stage and gave him enough strength to easily crush Japan with pure strength, he turned and looked at the last snake with a bored look, then at his clothes and sighed. Then he used his prana to generate a new set of clothes, which was similar to a light armor, and broke his petrified clothes, then he turned his head back to the snake, who was still frozen in shock. He just extended an hand, and swinged it left and right, when he swinged it, many words instantly appeared, he was writing a chant with an imperceptible speed. Some moments later, he grinned after creating 7 lines of words, and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Let''s see if this little guy can resist a real hydra... Nine Deaths of Eternal Night. The words disappeared and 9 shadows appeared behind him, each one was two times bigger than the snake itself, and were menacingly looking at the metaphysical. The Snake tried to run away, but all 9 the shadow heads lunged at it, breaking its bones at every bite they gave, until nothing remained, and the shadows disappeared back at Xiao Qiangwei''s own shadow, everyone nearby watched with shock at what just happened, while Xiao Qiangwei didn''t cared much. Then he turned towards his girls, who looked impassive at the show, while Xiao Qiangwei felt relaxed after not using any technique for a long time, even if he lived for many millenias, he was still a bit impatient. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Who the fuck said that being older makes you patient? I''ll punch him in the oblivion!'' Well, let''s go away... The girls obeyed like children with their mother and followed him out from the market. [Tomorrow] Xiao Qiangwei woke up in the morning, and in his bed there were Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi, all four of them were naked, he left to go in the shower to clean himself, and dressed himself while all three of them entered the bathroom after waking up too. After that, all of them walked towards the school to start another day. Some hours later they were at the cafeteria again, and were talking to Moroha, Shizuno and Satsuki. Satsuki: So you and Krul beaten a Dreadnough-class Metaphysical?! Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I was in the bathroom almost all the time, Krul did almost all the job herself while I killed the last snake. Satsuki: Yeah, but to kill a metaphysical like that with two people is impossible! Xiao Qiangwei: DId you forgot about what I could do, yesterday? Satsuki: ...Right... Moroha: So you three are really strong too, right? Krul: It depends on the point of view, for example in this school me and Stella are one of the strongest, considering the average power level of the students here, while Kuro Usagi is even stronger than us, and then comes Wei, who can beat us without even trying. Shizuno: I want to know how strong he is to be able to do that... Krul/Stella/Kuro Usagi: Alot... Moroha, Satsuki and Shizuno sighed while Xiao Qiangwei, Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi laughed. 115 Advice from the Principal [2 months later] Xiao Qiangwei was in a place where normal people shouldn''t be¡­ He was flying in the air by emitting mana from his body to the air, and right behind him appeared a gargantuan metaphysical, which could easily crush Tokyo if it would fall there. It took the shape of 10 headed dragon with a turtle shell instead of a body, it had 4 pairs of black angelic wings attached to the shell, and had 4 lizard legs, normally this would frighten even a S-class Savior, but Xiao Qiangwei had a bored look in his face. This Metaphysical was seen some times and was given the threat level of Nation Eater-Class, being dangerous for size and number. Xiao Qiangwei turned towards it, and the metaphysical was looking at him as if he was an ant. Xiao Qiangwei used a little fraction of his Prana, and his hand twitched a bit, the metaphysical start falling in the ocean, unknown to it too what happened, until it turned one of its heads to his body, and seen that there was an hole that was bigger than half of its body right over it. It lost more than half of its shell, 4 wings, and 3 of his 10 heads, Xiao Qiangwei''s hand twitched another time, and the metaphysical''s body disappeared, leaving only some drops of blood falling in the ocean. Xiao Qiangwei''s power was so oppressing that it erased the majestic metaphysical, then he turned towards Japan and flew there. [Later] He met again with Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi, and was telling about them what happened, without anyone else hearing them, the girls were not surprised from what he said because they thought it was normal. Meanwhile Moroha, Shizuno and Satsuki were busy with a fight, a week ago they were accepted in the Strikers, where Xiao Qiangwei refused to be part of. They were walking in the cafeteria of the academy to eat something, until Kuro Usagi remembered something important. Kuro Usagi: Oh right, Wei. Xiao Qiangwei: Nn? Kuro Usagi: I was warned from Shizuno that there will be an important man from the English Main division to check on the academy, to see how strong we are, so try to not make a mess¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: When did I made a mess? Kuro Usagi: In our past life, during the meeting with the other 1 digit communities... Stella: You destroyed the arena in the Seven Star Sword Art Festival the first time... Krul: You killed both vampires and humans during the war at Nagoya... Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, alright... I got it... I will not make a mess unless its necessary... Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi nodded with satisfaction, and started to eat something at the newly-reached caf¨¨, until someone came near them and asked. Extra: Is Xiao Qiangwei here? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes? Extra: The Principal wanted to see you right now. Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi raised an eyebrow while Xiao Qiangwei got up and walked towards the principal''s office. [Later] He arrived in the office, and there was Mari looking at him with a serious look. Mari: Please Xiao Qiangwei, sit down, we need to talk about something important... Xiao Qiangwei obeyed, sat on a chair, and put himself in a comfortable position, he noticed a little girl at Mari''s side, who was smiling at him. Little Girl: Hello Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello kid, what''s your name? Maya: My name is Maya Shimon, I''m the little sister of nee-san, teehee! Xiao Qiangwei smiled at her behavior and noticed that she had a tray with two cups of tea, which she gave them to both Xiao Qiangwei and Mari, before leaving with a smile. Mari: You can drink it if you want, but be careful, it''s still hot. Xiao Qiangwei: Nn. Then he grabbed the cup and drank normally, surprising Mari a bit, she knew that the tea was just brewed so she knew that it should be really hot, but Xiao Qiangwei didn''t even flinched, and there wasn''t any sign of Prana or Mana on him. Xiao Qiangwei brought down the cup and looked at Mari with a serious look. Xiao Qiangwei: So, what did you want to talk to me about? Mari: I wanted to talk about something that is incoming right now, and will arrive here in less than a week. Xiao Qiangwei: Is that about the incoming man from the English main branch? Mari: So you knew about it¡­ Yes, it''s about him, the man will be one of the six heads, precisely Edward Lampard, he will come here to check on your strength from the order of the Chairman, he wants to use your powers for his problems, I don''t doubt your strength, but be careful. Xiao Qiangwei: Nn, thanks principal. Is that all? Mari: Yes, you can even go now... Xiao Qiangwei nodded and stood up, before leaving the office, leaving Mari alone. Mari: *Sigh* I hope he doesn''t kill anyone... 116 What the hell did I just watch? [Tomorrow] The lesson started again, Xiao Qiangwei, Krul, Stella, Kuro Usagi, Moroha, Shizuno, Satsuki were in class with the other classmates, and listening to the teacher. Teacher: Today is mainly to teach all of the first years that for Saviour fights, ''Offense is easy, defence is hard''. Xiao Qiangwei: ''And then I have Sealing Cloud Locking Sun¡­ Heh, defense is hard my ass¡­ You guys need to throw me a really big planet if you want to hurt me, even if I am immune to earth elements...'' Teacher: The light techniques has a strong defensive skill called Sun, and the dark arts have Ether Barrier. However, they''re normally hard to use. On the other hand light technique''s Diamond Skin Link and the various Wards of the dark arts are easy to use, but lack in defensive power. Furthermore, Metaphysical''s attacks are stronger than ours. Using a defensive technique is a last resort, for when you want to reduce the damage by even a little. Rather, the most efficient technique is to counter their attacks with our own. This is somewhat troublesome for the Black Mages. A step one dark art, Flare will easily counter a chilling attack, but is bad against water. However, the step two Blaze is good against both chilling and water- Satsuki interrupted the teacher and asked. Satsuki: Sensei! Teacher: Yes, go ahead with your question, Ranjou. Satsuki: If it''s so hard to guard, wouldn''t you be better off just dodging? Xiao Qiangwei facepamed, but was ignored from everyone. Xiao Qiangwei: ''If we could simply dodge, I would easily avoided that sword enchanted with Absolute Slaying God Poison and Dragon Slayer¡­ You little moron...'' Teacher: A good solution. There''s no mistaking that''s the best defensive technique. However, that''s hard for Black Mages and even for you White Irons, if it was a wide area fire breath attack for example, avoiding it is difficult, right? Xiao Qiangwei was looking at the teacher with a expression that was saying ''What am I to you?'', but the teacher ignored him and continued to talk, until he was interrupted from someone. ?: Well, if the practical class was just a lecture it would be boring. Let''s have someone act as an example. Almost everyone turned to the source while Xiao Qiangwei stood where he was, because he already sensed him with his divine senses. ?: If you need an example, use Xiao Qiangwei, Tanaka-sensei. Shizuno: Nii-san... Xiao Qiangwei: ''Brothers? That''s interesting...'' He continued to listen to the man that wanted to make Xiao Qiangwei show off. ?: Sir Edward will be coming for an inspection soon. He''s expressed an interest regarding Xiao Qiangwei. He may be inspecting us at any moment, so make Xiao Qiangwei be the focus of class for a while. Teacher: I thank you for the suggestion, but although you may be the chairman, I won''t have you interjecting about how the class is run. Leave that to those teaching it. Then he moved to Xiao Qiangwei''s back, shielding him. Teacher: You may have been entrusted with the academy''s administration, but this sc- He was interrupted when he felt an hand in his shoulder, and turned to see Xiao Qiangwei with a blank expression and shaking his head. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, teacher, I appreciate your help, but I can resolve these things alone. The teacher was surprised before nodding with a worried expression, and turned back to his previous place. Then Xiao Qiangwei turned towards the Chairman and talked. Xiao Qiangwei: I am glad that I became so important to you people, and I will be willing to be an example, but I warn you, I might not show much... ?: Screw off, Xiao! I''m not letting you have all the limelight! Another person yelled with confidence and arrogance. ?: Right, Tana-T, you were going to call for me next. A blonde student got up and walked near the teacher, then he turned towards the other classmates. Kamii: First years! Call me Kamii, with love and respect! Teacher: It''s a bother, Mannendou-kun. I was going to show the others a medium-level light technique that Xiao Qiangwei would use. But Kamii ignored him and arbitrarily took control of the class. Kamii: Then, I can mildly attack Haimura, Tana-T. Brace yourself! Everyone''s heart will burn with my wonderful Flare. Then he started doing a series of original poses, making Xiao Qiangwei facepalm from his stupidity. Xiao Qiangwei: Teacher, can you do something before I do it? The teacher just shook his head and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with pity, for resisting Kamii''s stupidity. Then Kamii looked at Xiao Qiangwei and pointed him while doing other stupid poses. Kamii: That alright, Xiao Qiangwei!? Are you gonna run!? Are you scared of my dark arts, Xiao Qiangwei!? Xiao Qiangwei: ''What the fuck is that? What the fuck are you?'' Meanwhile, the second year class was looking at Xiao Qiangwei with pity, for the same reason of the Teacher. Then Xiao Qiangwei and Kamii got in their positions and the fight started, Kamii started with making a step two art with Blaze, but before he could shot it, Xiao Qiangwei snapped his fingers, and distracted Kamii, making the dark art explode on him. Then he turned towards the teacher with a blank look. Xiao Qiangwei: Am I done? The teacher was shocked from what happened and asked Xiao Qiangwei. Teacher: W-What did you do? Xiao Qiangwei: I just disrupted his control with his dark art, so it exploded on him, if you have enough control on mana and a good quantity of it, it will be possible doing it. Everyone: Oohhh¡­ Everyone was surprised from what he just did, and thought about how cool it would be using it against another Savior in a fight or a metaphysical who can use dark arts. Teacher: Nn, you can go to your place again, Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and left an unconscious Kamii with a black face, made from the explosion. 117 A talk with the Chairman [Later] Class ended, and Xiao Qiangwei was walking towards his changing room while talking to Moroha, until they were blocked from the Chairman. Xiao Qiangwei: You go, Moroha, I''ll join you soon. Moroha nodded with a serious face and walked away, when he was away enough, the chairman started to talk. Chairman: That wasn''t particularly admirable in class earlier. If you''re a saviour, you should hold your head high and take your training more seriously. That kind of performance in front of Sir Edward will be an issue, you know? Xiao Qiangwei: Do you really expect me to take something like that seriously? Chairman: ...Good point¡­ Well, I didn''t want to lecture you, but I wanted to invite you to my home. Do you have time today? Xiao Qiangwei already knew that the Chairman was planning something, and decided to play with him, he wanted to know what he would do to finish successfully his plans, he smiled and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Very well, I''ll accept, just give me the time and address, and I''ll come there right away. The chairman smiled and said. Chairman: Fantastic! Then we can leave right now, do you mind? Xiao Qiangwei: Just let me advise someone¡­ He took out his phone and called Moroha, while he used his mana to create some ice sculptures of himself in miniature, then they separated each other and rushed with an inpercetible speed towards the other people, without the chairman noticing, and advised them of what was happening, Maya included. Then he took back his phone on his pocket after finishing talking with Moroha and turned to the Chairman. Xiao Qiangwei: We can go now¡­ Chairman: Nn, then follow me, I have a car parked nearby. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and followed him in the car. [Later] Xiao Qiangwei was dressed in a tuxedo, and was inside a changing room, floating beside him was a mirror created from his ice phoenix''s ice, and it was reflecting Kuro Usagi, Krul and Stella''s faces. Since he was incredibly near the Pseudo-True God stage he should be, it would be a shame if he didn''t have any technique to communicate with other people. Stella: You look really good in a tuxedo... Krul and Kuro Usagi nodded in confirmation, and then Xiao Qiangwei said. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it seems that I don''t have much time, bye girls. Krul/Stella/Kuro Usagi: Bye Wei. Then the mirrors shattered and evaporated, then someone knocked the door. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s open. A servant came and said. Servant: I was asked to take you to the hall. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and followed the servant to the main hall, where he found Shizuno with a bit worried face and the smiling chairman. Chairman: Welcome to my mansion, Xiao Qiangwei, I hope you appreciated our home. Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, the decorations are well positioned, and the mansion is really clean, it''s a really good place. Chairman: Thank you, I didn''t took you for someone who knew about these things. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, at first glance, it would seem so, but there are many things I know. The chairman smiled and then presented his sister. Chairman: Maybe you two know each other, she is my sister, Urushibara Shizuno. Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, we met each other at the first day of school, together with her friends. Chairman: Oh? She made some friends then... Shizuno: Yes, with Haimura, Ranjou, Tepes, Vermillion and Chiyome(Kuro Usagi). Chairman: Nn, I''m glad...Well, Xiao, please take a seat and eat with us. Xiao Qiangwei nodded and took a seat in front of Shizuno and near the Chairman, then he started to eat with them while they talked about things. Some time later, he finished eating. Xiao Qiangwei: It was really delicious, now, I would like to ask why I was invited... Chairman: Yes, now we go to the main point. I''m sure you know that all Saviours are divided by rank within the White Knight Order, correct? Then, perhaps you know that it is no exaggeration to say that the rank is a sign of an actual higher position? Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, from D to S... Chairman: Nn, I will give you a detailed description about them... The majority of the school were rank D, with the meaning of ''Disciple''. Upon formal entry to the White Knight Order, or when the entry was approved, they''d become rank C, or ''Common''. This was also one of the requirements to enter the Strikers. Saviours that excelled after coming to maturity would be rank B, or ''Breaker''. All the teachers at Akane Academy were this rank. As proof of reaching a peerless height, there was rank A, or ''Ace''. The principal and some people fell under this rank. The fact that both of them, two of very few rank A Saviours within Japan were currently attached to the Academy showed how highly the Japanese branch valued it. And above that, is rank S, or ''Special'', which are only 6 in this world. Xiao, do you know the one and simple condition to become a rank S? Xiao Qiangwei: No, I don''t, please enlighten me. Chairman: It is being able to defeat a metaphysical that would be unbeatable one-on-one on their own... And you have the capabilities to do so. Xiao Qiangwei: Thanks for the compliment, but I don''t think that I should jump that much in the ranks. Chairman: It''s ok, thanks to your control and your amount of Prana, I can assure you that you will easily be the strongest. Shizuno was surprised from what they were talking about, she didn''t knew that his brother was aiming to make one of her friends a S class Savior, then she looked at Xiao Qiangwei with a worried expression, but she seen his relaxed face. Xiao Qiangwei: I appreciate for the Chairman''s enthusiasm, but I don''t want to be recognized as a S class Savior. Shizuno sighed in relief while the Chairman was surprised. Chairman: You can be the number 1 in the entire world, don''t you want that? Xiao Qiangwei: No, because I already recognize myself as the number 1, I don''t need other people to know it, and it would be annoying too, sorry if I disappointed you. Chairman: *Sigh* Then I can''t do nothing... Well, I will leave you two here, I hope you can be more friendly than before. Then the chairman got up from his seat and left, leaving Xiao Qiangwei and Shizuno alone. Shizuno: You made a good decision to refuse¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, how are you, Moroha and Satsuki now? Shizuno: I am a bit worried about what would do my brother, but the two of them are good. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, I will never accept to be a S class Savior, it would be useless for me... Well, I will take my leave too, say your brother that I left the mansion and we can talk another time later, bye Shizuno. Shizuno: Bye Qiangwei. Then Xiao Qiangwei got in his changing room and picked up his clothes, then he left the mansion. 118 Expensive Mercy [Later] Xiao Qiangwei was walking in the park at night, to relax, and think about the future, until he sensed someone spying on him, and threw something sharp at him, it was a sword, Xiao Qiangwei didn''t even moved, and took the sword right at the head. But for the attacker''s surprise, the sword became ashes from Xiao Qiangwei''s Prana, and the ashes turned in nothingless. Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* Now, who should this fucker here be? Xiao Qiangwei vanished from the attacker''s vision and appeared right in front of him, the attacker tried to run away, but he was stopped from a crushing presence that froze him in his place. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, I didn''t expected a beautiful woman doing the job, but¡­ Who am I to judge¡­ Now the question is¡­ Xiao Qiangwei then creepily smiled. Xiao Qiangwei: How should I crush that thing called life? The masked woman''s eyes widened and she started to tremble. Xiao Qiangwei: Shall I cut you? Shall I freeze you? Shall I cut you? Shall I mentally attack you? No, because there would still be traces of your body¡­ Then why not making you stop exist? But first, tell me why did you decide to attack me Xiao Qiangwei destroyed the mask of the attacker, revealing a blonde haired woman, who was sweating from fear. Woman: I.... I will not tell you! Xiao Qiangwei: You misunderstood me, I am not asking¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei used his mana to manipulate her very soul, this was a trick he used in his last life before this, and was able to master it here. It would work only when the difference between great realms would be over 7, or he would enter the Divine Soul Realm, but he still needed to be at least 4 realms stronger than the target, then the woman started to talk, unable to stop. Woman: I was ordered to test you from Edward Lampard, the man sent from the English main branch, and see if you were worthy of being S Class. The woman''s eyes widened because she couldn''t control herself, and said exactly what Xiao Qiangwei wanted, who raised an eyebrow. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, this is unexpected¡­ Since you targeted me and it was only a test, I''ll let you alive¡­ But¡­ When the woman heard the first sentence, she sighed in relief, but when she heard the last word, her heart started beating really fast. Xiao Qiangwei: You will need to give me something¡­ Maybe an arm¡­ Xiao Qiangwei''s arm got close to the woman''s left arm, until a voice stopped them. ?: STOP RIGHT NOW!! Xiao Qiangwei: Finally you got out¡­ The woman''s eyes widened from shock, hearing a familiar voice. Woman: S...Sir Edward!! Xiao Qiangwei: So you are this Edward... Now tell me, why should I stop? Edward: I will fight you if you do something to her! Xiao Qiangwei: So... Do you think you are worthy of touch me? Because your power is worthless in front of me, like everyone else''s power. Edward had a worried look on his face, then he summoned his armor and rushed between Xiao Qiangwei and the woman and then kneeled, surprising both the woman and Xiao Qiangwei. Edward: Please... Don''t hurt her... You can take my arm instead. Woman: Sir Edward!! No!! Xiao Qiangwei lowered his arm, and sighed before scratching his head. Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* ''Unlike the other people that attacked me and my loved ones... They didn''t nothing serious yet, so I will not exagerate...'' I will let you off... Both Edward and the woman sighed in relief, but Edward face turned from relief to pain, and spit blood, meanwhile he flew towards an abandoned building, and crashed in. Xiao Qiangwei: I''ll give you only some broken ribs. Woman: Sir Edward! You bastard... You said you would let us go! Xiao Qiangwei: I said that, and I''m not killing anyone, which was a good thing for you, I didn''t cut off either of your arms, and you expect me to not leave without giving some injuries? Stop hoping for shit like this and go pick your white knight, I''ll leave... Then Xiao Qiangwei walked away and retracted back his prana and mana, letting the woman move again, who rushed to Edward, and taking him in a nearby hospital. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Better going home...'' Then Xiao Qiangwei walked towards his home, trying to forget all this shit. [Meanwhile] Edward was trying to recover from the sudden hit, he couldn''t even move because that hit easily broke through his armor and shattered some pair of ribs, while making him fly at least one kilometer at sonic speed against an abandoned building, which was strong enough to not fall apart. Around him there were pieces of the wall that he was slammed onto, and some blood coming from his mouth. Woman: Sir Edward!! Then he heard his maid''s screams which were getting more nearby, until he could see her. Woman: Sir Edward! Are you ok?! Edward: ..Yeah... Just some broken ribs... ''Jeez, that guy is the real monster... And it seemed he just patted my chest... He didn''t even used neither prana or mana... Just pure Physical prowess...'' Woman: I''ll take you to the hospital right away! The woman tried to take on her shoulder Edward, but she hurted him even more. Edward: Ouch ouch ouch... Be careful there... Woman: Hmph... It''s your fault to try to put your arm for my life... Then the woman slowly took him to the hospital, to get cured. 119 A small talk between Acquaintances [1 week later] Xiao Qiangwei explained what happened to his girls, since he trusted them more than his familiars, and now he in a restaurant with his girls eating some food, until Xiao Qiangwei felt two familiar auras, and turned to see a maid helping a blonde foreigner in his late twenties to visit the place a bit. Xiao Qiangwei: ¡­? Kuro Usagi: What is happening, Wei? Xiao Qiangwei: Just an acquaintance¡­ Hey Edward. Edward turned to find Xiao Qiangwei waving at him, Edward smiled bitterly, finding Xiao Qiangwei that almost killed him a week ago and now he is being so friendly, then he said to his maid to take him there, the maid hesitated a bit before following his orders. Edward and the maid sat with Kuro Usagi, while Krul, Stella and Xiao Qiangwei were to the other side of the table. Xiao Qiangwei: So, how is going the life without healthy ribs? Edward: Yeah¡­ Continue to joke about it, you are the one that made it¡­ Still, I am recovering. Xiao Qiangwei: You shouldn''t order your maid to attack me, if you really wanted to test me you could just ask for a spar, I would accept. Edward: I didn''t thought you were so strong¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: So¡­ You wanted to test me if I was worthy to being S class, and you send someone weaker than you instead of yourself? Edward stood in silence with a dumbfounded expression until he banged his head in the table. Edward: Why am I so stupid¡­? Xiao Qiangwei: Don''t worry, everyone can do stupid errors, even people like me. Edward: *Sigh* Well, when I am completely recovered, do you want to spar, there aren''t many friendly people who are as strong as you. Xiao Qiangwei: ''There isn''t anyone as strong as me...'' Alright, but I don''t want to join the S class. Edward: Don''t worry, the spar is just for fun. I am not satisfied to fall like that¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Nn. Take my number, when you want to spar just call me, and I''m going to find you immediately. Edward: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: If you think you know the limit of my powers, then you are wrong, because it is not even a bit near to the truth. Edward: That''s scary¡­ Edward said with a jokingly manner, but inside him was worried about his words. Edward: ''Jeez, this guy is fucking scary... Just the presence he released the other time was suffocating...'' Indeed, a week ago, when Edward was kneeling in front of Xiao Qiangwei to protect his maid, he couldn''t move anymore when Xiao Qiangwei concentrated on him, he just didn''t shown it. After some presentations between Edward''s maid and Xiao Qiangwei''s girls, they started to talk about normal things, and Xiao Qiangwei gained a certain information, a really interesting information. The S class Savior of Russia, The Lightning Empress, it seemed that she really disliked the Japanese Branch, and there was a possibility that she may try to kill him, but Xiao Qiangwei''s response scared both Edward and Angela, his maid. Xiao Qiangwei: Why should I worry about air hurting me? Just an hit of mine and she would even stop existing. Normally everyone would laugh at it, thinking it was a joke, but Edward and Angela were spectators of what a love pat of Xiao Qiangwei could do, and gulped, they looked at the 3 girls that were with him, but they seemed to agree with him. Then Edward looked at his watch and seen what time it is, surprising him a bit. Edward: Wow, the time really flies when you are enjoying something¡­ I need to go to a meeting with the Chairman of your school, bye Qiangwei. The maid bowed to them and followed Edward, while Xiao Qiangwei, Krul, Stella and Kuro Usagi were waving their hands to him. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, let''s finish the food. Stella and Kuro Usagi nodded and started to eat, but Krul didn''t moved. Krul: Hey Wei. Xiao Qiangwei: Nn? Krul: Can we go in a date this weekend? Xiao Qiangwei, Stella and Kuro Usagi were surprised and looked at her, the Xiao Qiangwei smiled and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Why not? I will take you out this weekend. Krul smiled while Stella and Kuro Usagi frowned. Stella: That is not fair! We want to have a date too! Kuro Usagi nodded while having food inside her mouth, which made the scene cute, Xiao Qiangwei laughed a bit and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, in the next 3 weekends, I will take each one of you out, we will start with Krul, then Stella and for last Kuro Usagi. Kuro Usagi: Eh? Why am I last? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, Krul was from my second life, Stella was from the third and you were from the last one, so I thought about using that order for dating you girls. Kuro Usagi thought about it before she smiled and nodded. Krul/Stella/Kuro Usagi: Alright! Later, they finished eating and left the restaurant, Xiao Qiangwei was smiling while Krul was excited from the incoming date, Stella and Kuro Usagi were whispering between each other. Stella: Hey Kuro Usagi, why do we not spy on them? Kuro Usagi: Don''t joke around, we will never escape Wei''s divine senses, probably he is even hearing us right now. Stella and Kuro Usagi turned to Xiao Qiangwei to find him with his head turned towards them and smirking. Then Stella and Kuro Usagi sighed and gave up with the plan. They then started to walk towards the academy once again, while the sun was shining over their head. 120 Date with Krul and a Surprising fac [2 days later] It was Saturday, and like Xiao Qiangwei promised, he would go in a date with Krul, he was in his room after taking a shower, choosing some clothes. He took a pair of black pants, and wore a white shirt with short sleves and with a big emoji with a red X over it while under the picture, there was written: ''Emoji is Cancer'' (AN: They are), he chosen a pair of black and green shoes, then he took his wallet, phone, Keys and his eletronic watch, and then he left. He walked towards the park, while looking around, the sky didn''t have any single cloud, the sun was shining over his head, there were many people going somewhere, making the place really lively. [Later] He reached the park, and walked towards the center, where a fountain was built, Xiao Qiangwei immediately senses where Krul was, and found her at the entrance of the park, walking towards the fountain. He extended his senses and found Kuro Usagi and Stella in a restaurant far away from here, with Moroha, Shizuno and Satsuki, talking to each other, but there was something else that surprised him, it was an unfamiliar aura watching Krul while hiding somewhere. Xiao Qiangwei frowned and decided to talk to Krul about it. Then he arrived at the fountain, and found Krul running towards him with a smile. She was wearing a black dress, she had two black ribbons in her hair that made two pigtails, which was similar to her hairstyle in their past life, in her feet, she had a pair of black shoes with a small heel, and stockings. Krul: Hello Wei, I hope you didn''t wait for me for too long. Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, I just arrived here¡­ So, let''s go around. Xiao Qiangwei extended his arm towards hers, and she grabbed it before nodding and walked out front the park. While they were walking, Xiao Qiangwei sensed the same guy watching over them, specifically at Xiao Qiangwei, and this made him raise an eyebrow before he glanced to Krul and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Kurl, you kow that there is someone following us? Krul: Eh? Then she turned towards the direction where the stalker should be, but she didn''t seen anything, then she turned back to Xiao Qiangwei, but kept her mouth closed because in his hand there was a little boy with long purple hair, who was at the same height of Krul. Krul: ...Ashura¡­? Ashura: Hey...Sister... Xiao Qiangwei: Wait, so you the Ashura that Krul talked me about? (AN: In his past life, he could sense Asuramaru''s presence similar to Krul''s one, but with Prana and Mana, his sensory abilities worsened, he can only sense people''s position and similar things) Ashura: Oh, you she told you about me. Yes, it''s me... Ashura Tepes. Xiao Qiangwei: So... What are you doing here? Ashura: ...I wanted to know if you were worthy of being with my twin sister... When we reincarnated here, she told me about her past life with you, and I was surprised, then I decided that when I had the possibility, I will see it for myself. Krul: Well, are you satisfied? Ashura: Not yet... Hey Qiangwei, even if my sister is really strong compared to me, will you protect her? Xiao Qiangwei: I will be penetrated from the dragon slaying sword that killed me the first time if I didn''t. You can stop worrying kiddo. Ashura: Tsk... Don''t call me kiddo... in my past life I lived for more than 5000 years... Xiao Qiangwei: Psshh... In my last past life I passed billion years, and I could live even longer, even now I am older than you. Ashura: Tsk... Then they stood in silence before Ashura said. Ashura: ...Can you put me down now? Xiao Qiangwei: Alright. Then Xiao Qiangwei released his grip on Ashura''s clothes and made him fall on his butt. Ashura: Ouch! ...Rude... Krul sighed and said. Krul: Please, Ashura, go home now... Ashura: Alright, alright... I''ll go¡­ Then Ashura walked away from the couple while they looked at each other and shrugged before walking towards a cinema. [Later] There weren''t many people in the cinema, and they decided to watch a romantic and action movie, Xiao Qiangwei and Krul were a bit bored from the movie, regreting buying tickets for it. They took the most far away seats from the giant screen, and it was dark so not many people could see what happens around them, in the last line of seats, there were only Krul and Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: Oh Christ¡­ Give me patience¡­ Krul: Don''t worry, there is still an hour¡­ I have a little idea. Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow at her and opened his mouth to ask, but he didn''t say anything because he felt her hand in his groin. Krul: Do you want to have fun while the movie is going on? Xiao Qiangwei: Fuck yeah¡­ Then they started to enjoy their activity for an entire hour while Xiao Qiangwei put a barrier around them to block the sound. [Later] They were walking around while eating some crepes. They were talking to each other while laughing, until Xiao Qiangwei bumped with a delinquent, but instead of making intentionally Xiao Qiangwei fall like he thought, he was surprisingly strong, and made him fall in the ground. Delinquent: Hey, watch it! Xiao Qiangwei: Hm? What do you want? Delinquent: Tsk... fucking kid... Now give me your money unless you want to be deaaaaa.... He turned towards Krul, and was charmed from her immediately, then he smirked and said. Delinquent: Heh, you, come with me... I''ll make you feel things you never felt in your life with this chicken here. Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes narrowed due to remembering the same situation with Stella in his past life. Xiao Qiangwei: Are you part of a gang? Some important people? The delinquent frowned at his questions and said Delinquent: You motherfucker... Leave right now and I will not kill you. Xiao Qiangwei: ''He doesn''t...'' Nope. Then Xiao Qiangwei just slowly raised his hand and touched the delinquent, he was reduced in ashes that flew away, it seems that no one noticed this except for Krul, who was right there, and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with widened eyes. Krul: Why? Xiao Qiangwei: I already made mistakes in this situation, if I do the same thing, then I gotta be a fucking idiot... Now, let''s go away. Krul nodded and walked away with Xiao Qiangwei, while ignoring the situation that just happened. [Krul''s Pov/Later] I was walking back in the park while holding Wei''s hand, I really liked the date, especially the time between us during the movie, even if the movie in itself was boring, I felt really good with him. Before Wei reduced the delinquent in ashes, I sensed a bit of his anger, now that I think about it, Stella talked about the Fire Demon Gang in her past life and what they did to him, maybe Wei remembered that moment and was angry that the same thing would happen again. Well, now we are once again in front of the fountain where we met, it was evening, and now we were looking at each other''s eyes while sitting over the fountain. Xiao Qiangwei: So, you liked the date? Krul: Yes, even if I wished it would last for more time. Xiao Qiangwei: Well, it may be possible... What does he mean? Krul: What do you mean? Xiao Qiangwei: Even if I can''t use anymore Profound Strength, I still have access to my techniques, like this one... Then Xiao Qiangwei''s finger glowed, and started to write in the air while chanting. Xiao Qiangwei: "Spirits of the Elements, obey my words. Obey the words of your nemesis, Like the words of your creator, Grow, expand, And cover my realm. You will give me your powers, And I will give you my blessing, Spirits of the Time, obey my words, Follow my will, and expand in my domain I don''t want to be harmed in any shape and form. Stop the destiny at my command, the command of the Evil God. Evil God''s Domain: Time" Then the world changed color, the orange sky made from the sun became blue, the green park became purple, the water became red, the white became black, and the other colors turned in their opposite, as if the world turned negative. The birds stopped moving in the sky, the leaves didn''t fall, the wind stopped blowing, and there was only silence. I was surprised from what happened, and then looked at Wei. Krul: What happened? Xiao Qiangwei: I stopped time Krul: Wow... I was so amazed from this new world created from Wei, then I remembered what I said before and hugged Wei. Krul: Thanks to giving me more time... Xiao Qiangwei: Well, the laws of time are hard to break, if I was at Pseudo-True God state then it would be unlimited, because the laws will not have any effect with me, but right now I''ll give it a week before stopping work. Krul: You are incredible... Xiao Qiangwei: I want to make this a bit special... Then Wei created a barrier around us and grabbed me before we suddenly teleported in a dark place, I looked around and seen something incredible. Krul: ...Wow.... Right in front of me, there was the planet where we lived. I turned towards Wei and said. Krul: This is so incre- I noticed that he was looking somewhere else, I followed his sight and found something really disturbing. Krul: W-What is that...? Xiao Qiangwei: A metaphysical... Indeed, there was a metaphysical floating around the space, it was behind the earth, where the light never reached, making it impossible to see it, it was still far away from earth, and it didn''t noticed us or the planet itself, Wei decided to let it be there, because he didn''t care much about it. Krul: Is it ok leaving it there? Xiao Qiangwei: Meh, if it leaves us alone, we will leave it there. [normal Pov] Then they turned back at the town, and Xiao Qiangwei deactivated his domain. Xiao Qiangwei: Good night Krul. Krul: Good night Wei. Then they kissed each other before leaving towards their home, ending their date. 121 Date with Stella and Deja Vu [A week later] This time it was Stella''s turn to date, and Xiao Qiangwei wore different clothes than the other time, he wore a black leather jacket, jeans, and a pair of white atlethic shoes, he took his phone, his eletronic watch, and his keys for the house, then he left. Xiao Qiangwei this time decided to jump between buildings to reach the park, and in 1 minute he reached it, and waited at the fountain, then he extended his Divine senses and found Stella that just left her house, meanwhile Krul and Kuro Usagi were in their respective houses to do their things. Xiao Qiangwei: ...What should we do... Mh, that would be good¡­ A dozen of minutes later, Stella reached the fountain and found Xiao Qiangwei waiting for him, she smiled bitterly and asked. Stella: Did you wait much for me? Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, just a dozen of minutes, don''t worry. Well, let''s go. Xiao Qiangwei was looking at Stella''s clothes, she was dressed with a white and scarlet dress which extended up to her knees and had long sleeves, she had a long ponytail, making her more charming, and was wearing white shoes without heel. Then Xiao Qiangwei, with a smile, extended his hand forward and Stella grabbed it with her own hand and pushed her body against his, before walking with him. Stella: Well, where do we go first? Xiao Qiangwei: I already planned everything, you will like it¡­ Then Xiao Qiangwei surprised her by carrying her body like a princess, making her yelp, and then he disappeared from the area with an imperceptible speed. [some moments later] Xiao Qiangwei reappeared in an empty green plain, there were some trees around, but it was covered with grass, Xiao Qiangwei looked around and nodded while Stella had a green face and puked in the ground. Stella: Too¡­ Fast¡­ Blergh¡­ Xiao Qiangwei grinned a bit before patting her back, helping a bit. [2 minutes later] After Stella finished puking in the ground, she turned to Xiao Qiangwei, who still had his smile. Stella: Did you do it on purpose¡­.? Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, and now that you stopped ruining the nature with your breakfast, it''s time to start¡­ Stella: Start what? Xiao Qiangwei didn''t answered her and his finger glowed a bit before he started to slowly write in air while smiling and chanting. Xiao Qiangwei: "Spirits of the Elements, obey my words. Obey the words of your nemesis, Like the words of your creator, Grow, expand, And cover my realm. You will give me your powers, And I will give you my blessing, Spirits of the Water, obey my words, Follow my will, and expand in my domain I don''t want any traces of heat, I don''t need any flame Freeze everything that is ugly in my realm, and color my domain with white. Evil God''s Domain: Water" Then the area around flashed, and became white, Xiao Qiangwei limited the Domain only for some dozen of kilometers, instead of the maximum output which would freeze the entire planet and some nearby ones. Snow was falling over the snow that was already created in his domain, the nearby trees lost all of their leaves, and over the branches stood even more snow. The entire scenario was beautiful, but for Stella this was something even more romantic, because it was the same thing that Xio Qiangwei shown her in their past life. Stella: ...You really did it¡­ Then Stella hugged Xiao Qiangwei, and kissed him, before both fell in the snow, their tongue twisted with each other while their bodies got even more near, then Stella raised her head and looked with sweet eyes to Xiao Qiangwei''s own eyes and said. Stella: You can even not move, I''ll do everything by myself¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Then I''ll enjoy this cake right here! Then Xiao Qiangwei pulled Stella''s head towards him and kissed each other again while Stella lowered her left hand to Xiao Qiangwei''s pants. After that, they enjoyed their moment for 2 entire hours, even if it was snowing, it wasn''t cold, instead, it was warming. After they finished, they started to play with the snow, they created a snowman, and Xiao Qiangwei created a carrot made of ice for its nose, then they started to laugh at it. Later, they played with the snowballs, Xiao Qiangwei limited himself to avoid hurting Stella in the fight, but he won anyway. Then it was already evening, and Stella''s stomach grumbled, Xiao Qiangwei started to laugh at her, she blushed embarrassingly and said while playfully punch him. Stella: Stop laughing! And take me somewhere¡­ Meanie¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, alright, don''t explode on me... Then Xiao Qiangwei carried her again like a princess, and she panicked and said. Stella: W-Wait a minute! Can we go slow? Xiao Qiangwei: ¡­ Stella: ¡­ Xiao Qiangwei: Nope¡­ Then before Stella could say a word, the couple vanished from the snowy area and appeared behind a tree of the park they were once, Stella''s face became once again green and started to puke again while Xiao Qiangwei smirked. [Later] Xiao Qiangwei took Stella in a really good restaurant to eat, and Xiao Qiangwei gave the freedom to Stella to choose¡­ That was one of the most stupid mistakes Xiao Qiangwei did in his life¡­ Because Stella almost emptied his wallet, but if it was to make her happy, then he didn''t hesitated, even if he would regret a bit later¡­ They eaten together in a table in front of the window, which was showing a good view of outside, and this time Stella eaten so many things that she surprised Xiao Qiangwei too, who gotten used about her stomach. They talked about random things, and when they finished eating, they left the restaurant after paying for the food, Xiao Qiangwei walked with Stella to her home, and kissed each other before separating, and this date ended too. 122 Xiao Qiangweis spar? ...One sided fight? ...Toying with Edward... [3 days later] Xiao Qiangwei just got out from the academy, and was walking with his girls and his 3 friends, until he received a call, he took his phone and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Hello? Who is it? Edward: "Hey Qiangwei, it''s me, Edward!" Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, hey Edward, did you decided to spar with me or is there a problem? Stella, Krul and Kuro Usagi raised an eyebrow at the sudden call, Shizuno''s eyes widened because Xiao Qiangwei was talking with one of the Six Heads as if they were friends, while Moroha and Satsuki were curious about what he was saying. Edward: "I wanted to spar with you, I am free right now¡­ Jeez, those were a big pile of papers¡­" Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, I''ll find you immediately and come. Guys, it seems I will be busy now, bye Everyone: Bye. Edward: "I am at the hot-" -el¡­ When Edward was telling Xiao Qiangwei where he was, he suddenly appeared in his office, and left an open window. Xiao Qiangwei: I''m here. Edward: WHAT THE FUCK?!! Edward unconsciously screamed in english at the sudden appearance of Xiao Qiangwei, from the door of the room, his maid entered with a worried look and weapons ready. Maid: Is there a... Problem¡­ Sir Qiangwei¡­? Xiao Qiangwei: Oh, hey Angela, I was called from Edward for a spar so I came here. Edward: I DIDN''T EVEN ENDED THE CALL!!! HOW FAST ARE YOU!? HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND ME!? Xiao Qiangwei: Well, in order¡­ I am faster than light, even if I didn''t tried to see how much, and I used my mana to sense you. Edward: Wait, Mana? Weren''t you a White Iron? Xiao Qiangwei: Both¡­ Are you ready for the spar? Edward: *sigh* I will never stop being surprised¡­ Alright, There is a forest nearby that we can use, I already have someone who could create a pocket dimension so we can do whatever we want inside it. Xiao Qiangwei: Alright. Let''s go. Do you want to come with us, Angela? Angela: Yes, I need to check that Sir Edward will not do anything stupid... Xiao Qiangwei: Nn... Then Xiao Qiangwei grabbed both Edward and Angela and vanished from the room, to appear in the forest Edward mentioned, Xiao Qiangwei let go Edward and Angela, who kneeled in the ground and puked due to the speed at which they traveled while Xiao Qiangwei was smirking. Xiao Qiangwei: ''It''s always funny no matter how many times I do it...'' Edward/Angela: Bleergh... [2 minutes later] Edward and Angela recovered from the previous situation and stood in their feet, Xiao Qiangwei, who has still his smirk, said. Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, who will create the Pocket Dimension? Angela? Or the guy that is behind the tree? Xiao Qiangwei pointed backwards with his thumb, and from the tree that he was pointing, a man stepped outside with a surprised face. Edward: *Sigh* YEs, it''s him... Bob, do it. Bob: Alright... Then he raised his hands and an enormous dome was created, inside the dome there was the Pocket Dimension that they needed for the spar. Angela quickly left the place to spectate from away while Edward summoned his armor, then he looked at Xiao Qiangwei who didn''t have anything yet. Edward: Aren''t you going to summon your weapon? Xiao Qiangwei: Do I seem like I need a weapon now? Edward: ...Good point... Whatever, let''s start the spar! Then Edward rushed at Xiao Qiangwei and used his lance to repeatedly attack him, but the attacks were literally going inside him, and didn''t leave any injury, as if he was attacking air, while he was just going to a speed that couldn''t be seen from Edward and returning back at his position. Then Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes widened a bit and Edward was flung for a considerable distance away, crashing through several trees before he was stopped by a sturdy tree, and fell in his feet in the ground, then he tood deep breaths and grinned. Edward: Fantastic... Such strength... Such speed... Such power! This is what I wanted to feel a long time ago! Then Edward sprinted once again towards Xiao Qiangwei who just extended his index finger towards Edward and thrusted it forward, impaling him through his right abdomen, Edward spat out blood, but he raised his lance and smashed Xiao Qiangwei''s head with it... But the results were just like Edward expected... The lance broke in two pieces due to the hardness of Xiao Qiangwei''s body, he still didn''t used his Prana so it didn''t became ashes. Xiao Qiangwei: So... Should I finish the spar? Edward: ...You won... Finish me... Xiao Qiangwei: Alright... Xiao Qiangwei shrugged, his finger glowed and wrote in air while chanting Xiao Qiangwei: "Eternal Darkness surrounding this realm, come forth. Devil spawned from the Night, come forth. I summon you to help me... ...Help me fight against the Buddha. ...Help me fight against the Light itself. Surround this living being in your black embrace. Night Devil Heaven Burial." Then a black barrier covered Edward from head to toe, it started to float away from Xiao Qiangwei''s arm, leaving his arm covered in Edward''s blood while the black orb wasn''t doing nothing, until it started to get smaller, crushing Edward inside, it was getting smaller until it stopped existing. Xiao Qiangwei then turned towards Bob, who was far away and said. Xiao Qiangwei: Bob, the fight ended, stop using the Pocket Dimension. Bob: Alright pal... Then the dome around them vanished, and left Xiao Qiangwei who was standing without a single drop of his blood in his arm and Edward who was breathing heavily due to the experience of death he just got, then he turned towards Xiao Qiangwei and said. Edward: Oh fuck... Did you really do that? Couldn''t you just behead me? Xiao Qiangwei: It wasn''t funny, so why not? Edward: You little bastard... Well, it was a good spar until you broke my lance... Xiao Qiangwei: YOU broke the lance, I didn''t do anything and you slammed me with it, so you broke it. Edward: Smartass... Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, yeah... Pussy... Now, let''s pick Angela and I''ll take both of you back at your office. Edward panicked and stood straight while waving his hands in front of him. Edward: No, no, it''s not nee- Xiao Qiangwei: Deal with it... Then Xiao Qiangwei grabbed Edward''s arm and disappeared before reappearing in front of Angela and grabbing her arm too, then they moved to Edward''s office, Xiao Qiangwei let them go and enjoyed with a sadistic smile the scene in front of him while drinking a cup of coffee that was at Edward''s desk. 123 Date with Kuro Usagi and an Ominous Feeling [4 days later] Xiao Qiangwei was dressed up for his last date with Kuro Usagi, he was wearing a black long sleeved shirt with the words ''Fuck you'' written in white, he was wearing grey pants and the same shoes he wore at his date with Stella, then he took his items and left his house. While he was walking towards the park, he found a kid who was being bullied from 3 bigger kids, and it seems that the kid in the middle of the group was a savior, precisely a Dark Mage, who was intimidating the victim. Even if the kid didn''t knew how to use his mana, it seems that it was leaking a bit outside, frightening the victim. Bully: Hehe¡­ Now I''ll teach you to not tell anything to anyone¡­ Xiao Qiangwei sighed and used his mana to block their movements, without anyone knowing, the victim had a surprised face, but then he left immediately while Solo stopped blocking the bullies'' movements and walked towards the plaza Xiao Qiangwei had already planned some things for Kuro Usagi, which she would surely like. Then he arrived at the fountain and found Kuro Usagi already prepared, and was waiting for him. Xiao Qiangwei: Yo! I hope you didn''t waited much. Kuro Usagi: No, no, I was here before because I wanted to walk around, I just started some minutes ago to wait for you. She was wearing a black dress with a white miniskirt which was similar to the one Xiao Qiangwei seen her when they met at Little Garden and stockings, then a pair of black shoes with a small heel. Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, then let''s go! Xiao Qiangwei extended an hand at her, which she eagerly grabbed and walked with him in the city. [Later] Kuro Usagi: KYAAAAAAAAAAA She was in a rollercoaster, and was really afraid the entire time. Meanwhile, Xiao Qiangwei, who was at her side, took a photo of their faces with his phone, Xiao Qiangwei had smiling at the camera, while Kuro Usagi had a panicked face and was crying. (Think about Aqua at the first episone of Konosuba when she entered the new world) This continued for a while, with a frightened Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei who was enjoying the situation while drinking a glass of water he took out from nowhere, and not even a drop of it was going outside the glass the whole time. When they left the rollercoaster, Kuro Usagi was glued to Xiao Qiangwei''s torso and didn''t seemed she would leave soon. Xiao Qiangwei, meanwhile, was checking his photos, and was smirking when he found Kuro Usagi''s panicked face that seemed to begging to god to stop the rollercoaster. Xiao Qiangwei: ''Worth it...'' Well, now let''s go to the Haunted House. Kuro Usagi: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! She separated herself from Xiao Qiangwei but he grabbed her shirt, she was trying to escape while asking for help, but Xiao Qiangwei was walking while wearing a eerie smile in his face. [Later] Kuro Usagi was walking with Xiao Qiangwei in the Haunted House, while Xiao Qiangwei was walking around like it was his home, Kuro Usagi was hugging Xiao Qiangwei''s arm while trembling at every step she made. Suddenly, a carton made ghost appeared in front of her with some mechanism, and she jumped out while screaming, and hugging even more Xiao Qiangwei. Xiao Qiangwei: ...Maybe I exaggerated... Well, let''s go. Then Xiao Qiangwei took Kuro Usagi out from the Haunted House while not letting her show anything scary. When they were out, Kuro Usagi punched Xiao Qiangwei in the stomach, even if it didn''t do anything to him. Kuro Usagi: You are pure evil... Xiao Qiangwei: No, if I was really evil now I would take you back at either the rollercoaster or the Haunted House and leave you there. Kuro Usagi: *Gasp* You wouldn''t dare... Xiao Qiangwei: Do you want to see? Kuro Usagi panicked and shook her head, while Xiao Qiangwei laughed at her. Xiao Qiangwei: It''s ok, the next place where we will go will be a good one¡­ Then Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei walked in another place of the park. Some minutes later, they were walking around while licking ice cream, Kuro Usagi and Xiao Qiangwei enjoyed it, then they found a small shop that was selling accessories, and something caught Xiao Qiangwei''s eyes, so he walked there without being noticed from Kuro Usagi. He bought something and returned back to her, he patter her shoulder, making her turn around. Kuro Usagi: What happen¡­. Pffffff¡­.. Hahahahahahaah! Kuro Usagi was laughing at what Xiao Qiangwei was wearing, it was a pair of white bunny ears, and had the same shade of white of Xiao Qiangwei''s hair, which seemed as if those ears were real if it wasn''t for they that didn''t moved. While Kuro Usagi was laughing, she felt something touching her head an calmed down to see what it was, then she coincidentally looked in a window, and let her see that it was a pair of purple bunny ears, even if they had a different shade of color. Kuro Usagi: Woah¡­ Hey Wei, how do I look? Xiao Qiangwei: I would kidnap you, bind you to a metal table with chains and leaving you in the dark while I will be free of doing whatever I want. Kuro Usagi took a paper fan from nowhere and hit Xiao Qiangwei in the head. Kuro Usagi: Be serious! Xiao Qiangwei: But I was... He was hit another time from the paper fan, and Xiao Qiangwei started to giggle, then he looked at Kuro Usagi and got in her ear, before whispering something which made Kuro Usagi''s face turn completely red. Then Xiao Qiangwei laughed at her, which made her blush even more. Xiao Qiangwei: Hehe... Alright, I''ll stop, let''s go to the Ferris Wheel (I dont know if it''s called like this), it''s getting dark really fast so I think we would have a good view from there. Kuro Usagi just followed him while looking in the ground and blushing. [Later] It was late evening, and there were stars covering the sky, they were slowly going up since they were inside the Ferris Wheel, Xiao Qiangwei was seated in a seat while Kuro Usagi was seated over his laps, and both of them looked at the window, enjoying the stars in the sky. Kuro Usagi: Hey Wei, thank you for the date... Xiao Qiangwei: Meh, it was nothing for me, we can do this anytime, even if you need to tell it to the other two. Kuro Usagi: Yeah... Then Xiao Qiangwei felt Kuro Usagi moving, she was rubbing her ass over his laps, and looked at him with a smile and lust-filled eyes. Kuro Usagi: Can we do it? Xiao Qiangwei smiled and sighed at her behavior and said. Xiao Qiangwei: The shirt says everything. Then they passed the time inside the Ferris Wheel doing whatever they wanted, after that, Xiao Qiangwei accompanied Kuro Usagi back at home and left to his. [Meanwhile] In space, Xiao Qiangwei found a metaphysical while he was dating Krul, but left it alone, so he didn''t checked it properly... Because that Metaphysical was transporting something... There was an old legend that said that the Metaphysicals have the same strength of a Savior, so, following that logic, and since there are 6 S-class Saviors, then in the realm should be other 6 Metaphysical matching them in power. Inside that spatial ship-like metaphysical, there was another one that was resting, unlike the others metaphysical known to the world, the creature had a humanoid shape, and was around 2 meters of height, but the most noticeable thing of it, was that it''s powers couldn''t be sensed... Because if it''s powers would be calculated with Cultivation Realms, it would be classified as a True God, but not like the version that Xiao Qiangwei was almost entering, but the real deal. His powers couldn''t be comprehended from normal living beings. The Metaphysical opened his eyes, revealing two black orbs. Metaphysical: He''s here... Meanwhile, when ''It'' talked, Xiao Qiangwei, who was in his bed, shivered. Xiao Qiangwei: What... What was that...? ''It must be my imagination...''
