That night when Tai Kuai came back he had caught a 7th realm "Knight" rampart iron boar and killed it. It had a iron like skin and looked it as a big as a horse. It had two horns sticking out of its forehead like a bull. As he made himself a small fire he went ahead and roasted the rampart iron boar, he enjoyed its meat. It was especially juicy and the richness of the meat taste divine for someone who hadn't eaten for 2 days.
After eating his fill he went to sleep, he didn't finish it and saved some in his jade ring. The next morning, he got up and ate the remains of the rampart iron boar. After eating, he began doing some light exercises. He then began his daily training. Running, push ups, pull up and sometimes even imaginary sparring. After that, he began to train his techniques for the next 5 hours. It was then lunch and Tai Kuai went to hunt a horned rabbit.
He then came back and cooked it. Ate it. Then did some small exercises after drinking some water. Tai Kuai then began to train again.
This was his daily routine for five years. Although Tai Kuai and Xiao Hei had gotten closer, they didn't chat that much as Xiao Hei can see that he is determined to become a "General" realm practitioner. As for Xiao Hei, at times she would observe his training or fly around the entire forest or hunting for some food.
And in a blink of an eye, 1 month has passed.
Tai Kuai was lying underneath a tree and cultivating. He is currently absorbing the qi from the world and suddenly a powerful force swept past the trees and bushes. It had scared quite a few monsters and animals away. This power was precisely "General" realm power.
"Haha, I have DONE IT! FINALLY! THE "GENERAL" REALM!!" Tai got up and screamed in excitement. Only a 13 years old and had already reached the "General" realm, his strength is on par with worldly geniuses. These geniuses have all been able to reach the "War Saint" or "War Ancestor" realm. People who had reached the "General realm" are usually around 45- 60 years old. Talented people can reach it within 30-40 years old. Geniuses can reach around 20-30 years old and Worldly geniuses can reach it around 12-19 years old. Upon reaching the "Guardian" realm, Peoples progress will be slowed down. When one reaches the "Guardian" realm, anyone can use a sky profound technique and some mimic it, but using a proper bodily martial skill will allow you to move faster.
"Well good job! You have finally done it and you only 13 years old! That's monstrous, but according to what you said, only true geniuses can reach that realm and there are no more than 100 of them since there are two continents filled with billions of people!" Xiao Hei said happily while congratulating him as she flew down from the sky which caused the fierce wind that blew down quite a few trees.
"Hehe, just cause I'm one of those geniuses doesn't mean i can be arrogant. If I let it get to me, I would die before I even achieve my goal. Besides, the older generations that have the same talent as me should be around the peak "War Saint" or" early "War Ancestor" realm. Though some would die because some people are afraid that the would become too strong and destroy their sect or clan. Thus, destroying a one in a million year old genius. I only know this because I have learnt a lot reading from my ancestors diary." Tai Kuai said proudly puffing out his chest.
"Hmm... that ancestor you told me about, is he truly that powerful? I mean, to break past the "War Ancestor" realm is near impossible and yet he could do it. Not even the most powerful dragons could do it, even the dragon king has lived for 2 million years could." Xiao Hei asked. Clearly, she didn't believe that as the dragon king couldn't.
"Hmph! I am positive it is possbile! Whether dragons are naturally powerful or not! They do have talents and they grow according to what species they are. Some cultivate to grow stronger, but they can't get through that barrier."
"Also, upon reaching the "Guardian" realm, one can live up to 200 years. Becoming a "Warlord" one would reach the 500 years old! The "War Emperor" realm allows one to live up to 1000 years and a "War Saint" lives up to 5000 years! For the "War Ancestor" realm is extremely powerful because they can live for 10,0000 years! It is very rare to reach that realm! Even true geniuses like me would be stuck a "War Emperor" or "War Saint" realm. There's a tremendous barrier there!" Tai Kuai refuted.
"Hmm... okay okay I got it, but the way.. how do you know all of this? Aren't you just a little brat?" Xia Hei said indifferently as she looked at him. She was made about the fact that she didn't know this information and wanted to believe it was false.

"This......huuuh....can't be it helped.... In my jade ring, I found a book. It belongs to my ancestor and contains a few secrets about martial skills and arts. It also talks about his daily life, adventures, things he did and people he killed. Also about breakthroughs to progress. If i didn't read this and try to understand and lay down my foundation, It wouldn't be that good as it is know. If I didn't read this, then if I am around 16-20 years old, I then reach the "General" realm. Too bad the book was already very old before the the clan got destroyed, Although half of the pages are missing and when I reach the "Guardian" realm, I have to do it all by myself." Tai Kuai replied as he took out the old book.
"Hmm...that's cheating...well all the treasures you have on you are already too much." Xiao Hei changed said mockingly, trying to get his mood down.
"Heh, If one were to solely on cultivating, then kids around my age would be at around 3-6 "Soldier" and Geniuses could reach the peak of the "Solider" realm and with a few exceptions that have reached the "Knight" realm. It is also cheating for you, as your already naturally powerful! When born, you are already a "Knight" realm. Back then when we met, you hit me as lightly as possible! AND NOW FIVES YEARS HAVE PASSED AND YOUR STRENGTH IS STILL GROWING RAPIDLY!!! YOUR CURRENTLY AT THE 7TH LEVEL "GENERAL" AND WHEN YOU REACH 20 YOU WILL REACH THE "GUARDIAN" REALM!"
"After that, you can begin to cultivate normally.....but it will be twice as difficult for you dragons. That i why the Dragon king remained at the peak of the "War Ancestor" realm after living for a 2 million years. You dragons already have a natural life span a million years and when cultivating, us humans only increase a few hundred years and yet you dragons lifespan increase increase ten fold! And talking about unfair? Bunch of BULL FUCKING SHIT!" Tai Kuai complained as he spat on the grass.
"Ohhhh....welll......I guess......I'm sorry" Xiao Hei said softly. Silence filled the air. "Huhhh... forget that, tomorrow morning we leave, and I want to go to the cit my father told me about. Oh and i got to seal cultivation with the high level "Sage Seal" and make it look like i'm 1st realm "Knight". Don't wanna attract attention and this makes it that i have a little bit of talent. I also need to make my jade ring look old and worthless."
"About what you said earlier, its okay, I don't feel mad. I was pretty much stating the truth that's all, in a rudely manner. Anyways, it's time to go to sleep for tomorrow" Tai Kuai walked back to his hut.
"Okay..." Xiao Hei stood there looking at his figure. " If only I can transform into a human soon..." she muttered.
In the blink of an eye, it was already morning and Tai Kuai is up eating a fried fish from the river. After eating, he got up and packed everything he had and destroyed the hut made out of wood. 'Probably not coming here anymore anyways...'
"Well lets go! Oh wait, walk or fly? Your wait too big now!" looking at Xiao Hei, Tai Kuai said out loud. "Hmph, underestimate me! You think i didn't know this. Although I can't transform into a human yet, I can do this!" Xiao Hei replied as her body shook for a bit. She then began to shrink! She kept on shrinking until she was the size of a cat. "Woaahh! That is so cool..." Tai Kuai said shocked. A shrinking dragon? It could also transform into a human? At 20 year old she would reach the "Guardian" realm automatically as that is the age where she fully matures? Thats way too fucking OP!
"Hehe, you jealous?" Xiao Hei giggled as she jumped onto Tai Kuai's head. "Tchh..well you should get off now as I'm gonna get change into the suitable clothes I've found earlier...around 5 years ago? Yeah that black jeans, red t-shirt and the red robe. No wait, I should jut choose the black jacket instead. It has pretty good logo that says "To The Peak Of Martail Arts!".
He then put Xiao Hei down and behind a tree to get change. Walking out fully dressed, he looks quite handsome. His hair had been cut a year ago and now it looks flat. He has a pretty face with some masculinity in it. He his muscles have grown and doesn't look skinny, he is also 5,3ft tall now
"Lets go to Mai Fu city!" Tai Kuai said as Xiao Hei jumped on his head to rest. 2 hours later he had finally walked out of the forest and began travelling.
First stop, Mai Fu city!
(Late, sorry guys. In a few hours, the next chapter will come out and we will see Mai Fu city together!)
