Chapter 19
Imperial Legion
Liam : “Look at all this people crowding the God Race person all trying to curry favor. Although we have the same purpose we are not on the same level. I am Liam, my Grand Father is the brother of City Lord. I will let all of this small fry try their best, In the end I will be the one chosen.”
After a while, Liam is just confidently observing everyone when suddenly a commotion took place and Pollo got chosen by Luo Kai as a companion. A little bit of uneasiness started to creep at Liam. The sudden turn of events was not within his expectation. The unpredictability of God Race was not in his careful calculation. He already predicted that no one would be able to impress the God Race, and out of all the young guests, few would be capable of competing with him. And all of the people he knew that would be a threat are already inside the prison, coincidentally locked up, while the event happened. This made his plan more concrete, although Pollo’s action was beyond his expectation, everything was still within his grasp. Because his plan is not to make him the only one to be chosen, but to ensure that he will be chosen.
Liam : “Pollo? Oh, I knew him. I’ve heard of him, a son of a small merchant. Although, I’ve heard that he is an oddball who keeps challenging strong people, I did not expect that he would act in such a way that would even endanger his whole family. But this God Race is more of a psycho than I expected. He even took this troublemaker with him. Well, I guess the battle between the God Race and Demon Race is really dangerous and he need people like him who is battle freak and does not fear death. Yeah, if he die, it’ll save them resources, God Race are really shrewd.”
After quite some time the people crowding Luo Kai started to thin out. Young people who feel like being chosen is impossible started to leave one by one and only those confident in their abilities remain. Adults also started to pursue their own intentions, some started to form connection with each other, and all sorts of transactions took place. Few strong and noticeable young people stated to pop one by one. The real worthy opponents started to slowly show up. And the most distinguishable among them is the group of 5 young people who exudes a strong aura. They are all High-Peak Level Earth Phase. A lot of the competitors feel intimidated just by their aura alone.
Grendarth : “That God Race is really powerful, I can feel his terrifying aura even though we are quite far and surrounded with strong people. His aura is so grand that the aura of strong master can’t even suppress it.”
Shin : “We came since the whole city is talking everywhere about this event. No one is also in the house so I guess they are all here.”
Pan Xin : “Hey y’all, who do you think would win between the two of them?”
Qingge : “Brother Luo Kai is strong he might be the strongest around his age, but this guy is not to be underestimated. Although he is suppressing it, I can tell that this guy is already a Heaven Phase Master!”
Grendarth : “What?! A Heaven Phase master at around our age?!”
Pan Xin : “Second Brother, y’all been together with eldest brother the longest. Will he be able to win against that guy?”
Orphius : “……………. I’ve only seen eldest brother fight one time……”
Orphius remembering Luo Kai’s embarassing dance.
Orphius : “Eldest brother fought with a Cosmos Phase Level Beasts and managed to survive.”
Qingge : “W-What?! Surviving against a Cosmos Phase Beasts! That little guy really is crazy!”
Orphius : “Eldest brother is not someone to judge by cultivation level alone, it’s been a month since we last saw eldest brother, but judging from the aura alone this God Race is stronger than eldest brother. The aura he released just earlier is much more oppressive than eldest brother. But, something is weird, they kinda have similar aura.”
Shin : “That was what I’m about to say……. I experienced that aura a few times…….”
Grendarth : “Hey, what if…….. Brother Luo Kai is secretly a God Race……”
Shin : “If they have similar aura………… Is brother Luo Kai also a royalty?”
Qingge : “………………………”
Qingge is the only one among them who knew about Luo Kai’s real identity. Grendarth, due to shock of Luo Kai’s aura released forgot what happened after passing out. Pan Xin was also passed out when that took place. Qingge managed to hold out solely due to her Dragonic Bloodline.
“Luo Kai isn’t just any royalty, I feel like he has quite a high position among the royalties. Just from the aura I felt that day. He has such a pure aura even though he was just around 6 or 7 years old that time. He might have a relation to the Supreme Divine God Helios Kai…… Helios Kai….. Luo Kai…… It can’t be right?? No, It can’t be… I heard that Helios Kai’s son a supreme genius who reached Cosmos Phase at 30 years old, died around 40 years ago…. Still Luo Kai’s talent isn’t below that genius.”

Orphius took a glance at Qingge who showed a slight reaction about the topic they are discussing.
Orphius : “………………………….”
Grendarth : “I feel like he really is from the God Race, why else do you think our group is getting bigger and bigger every time?”
Orphius : “But our acquiantaces are just coincidences.”
Orphius : “We met eldest brother at the Coming of Age Ceremony at the Ascension Mountain. That is how we became brothers. We met the other while travelling away from brother.”
Qingge : “And we met him while he was out travelling.”
Pan Xin : “Doesn’t matter. I followed him to become stronger and for revenge, after my revenge is satisfied, whether it be to kill Demons or challenge the heavens I’ll follow him.”
Grendarth : “Revenge…………………………”
Qingge : “……………………………….”
Shin : “Alright calm down y’all. Let’s try to approach him. Even if we can’t recruit him it’s still good to have a connection with the God Race.”
Orphius : “Alright.”
Liam on the other side noticed that the mysterious group of 5 people started to move. The other forces also notice the group and
started to keep a close eye on them. After the group moved the tension on the young people started to engulf the surrounding. The adults have already noticed the group and most of them does not know the origin of the small group of elite young people, and though they are just a group of vagabond and wanderer who stumbled to the event after hearing the rumor, everyone recognized their talent and a lot of factions and groups think highly of them and think that they may have a chance of getting recruited, there are also who hopes that they get rejected for them to have a chance to recruit this group themselves. An elite group of talented young individual even if they don’t get chosen they are still valuable assets in the future that are worth nurturing and investing. They are for sure to become recognized masters who will make a name for themselves in the future. And the opportunity to recruit not just one or two but five of such people isn’t something that you can casually encounter, and no one wants to pass on such opportunity.
The group started to walk towards the God Race Young Master but even before they could reach him, desperate and courageous groups of people started to talk to them in hopes to recruit them.
Liam : “This is bad!! If those guys and the God Race meet, there’s a high chance they get recruited. When that happens, not just me but everyone would have no chance anymore.”
Liam : “Oh!! Those people, lucky for me! Just like that block those guys first! Doesn’t matter if they get recruited but I must be recruited first!”
Liam approached Luo Kai and introduced himself to him. He is brimming with confidence that he would be recruited as he has the Blood Gate City as his backer.
Liam : “I greet the young master!”
Liam : “God Race Young Master, this humble one is Liam. My Grandfather is the younger brother of City Lord of Blood Gate City.”
Luo Kai : “…………..Hmm, is that so.”
“I-Is that so………….. He doesn’t even put the City Lord in his eyes?!! This bastard is really arrogant!!”
Luo Kai : “Are you thinking right now that I am arrogant?!”
Luo Kai : *staaareeee
Laim : “N-No Young Master, how could this lowly one think that way…”
Luo Kai : “That’s right!! You are just a lowly grandson who only know how to rely on his family’s name….”
Luo Kai : “Do you think I would get intimidated if you use the the City Lord’s name?!!”
Liam : “N-No…….No….N-N-Noo….”
Luo Kai : “No?! But that’s what you are doing right now. Do you think I wouldn’t see through your plan?! I’ve seen many people like you who accomplished nothing but still had the guts to rely on his family’s name.”
Luo Kai : “Do you know where they all are now?! They’re all long been six feet under!!”
Liam : “N-No, Young Master. I-I-I a-apologize!”
Luo Kai : “………………………..”
Orphius : “E-Eldest brother?! Is that you?!”
Luo Kai : “Orphius? You all are okay? You are not locked up?!!”
Orphius : “What do you mean locked up brother? We are out practicing in a realm, and heard that there’s someone from the God Race that came to the city, we just didn’t expect that…….it…..”
Luo Kai : “Alright, I’ll explain everything later… So, it’s just the five of you here…. Then that means that everybody else is locked in the Punishment Hall..”
Shin : “What!!! Locked up!!”
Luo Kai : “Ahh, I remember now!! Liam right?!! You captured my companions, it’s you!!”
Luo Kai : “Then you can die now!!!”
Luo Kai throw a punch full of killing intent and anger for his companion who got captured because of Liam’s selfish desires.
Liam : “N-No!! Grandfather HELPPPP!!!”
“WHO DARES TO HURT MY GRANDSON!!!”
A loud shout was heard that made the ground tremble. Weaker guests had their ears and nose bleeding from the terrible noise. The city guards surrounded the place where Liam are located only to find out that the culprit is none other than the God Race Young Master. Everyone is conflicted and flabbergasted not knowing what to do. It is within all reason to arrest the culprit that disturb the banquet but the guest of honor itself is the reason of the disturbance, not to mention he also attempted to kill someone. But if they do that, they might never see another break of dawn. Luckily not long after the commotion started the City Lord himself step up to resolve the issue.
Ronan : “Young Master, what’s happening?”
Luo Kai : “It would be best to ask your people.”
Ronan : “Liam!”
Liam : “C-City Lord! I really don’t know! He suddenly want to kill me, and said I imprison his comrades, it’s the first time I’ve even seen him!”
Ronan : “Young Master, are you sure it’s him?”
Luo Kai : “I’m certain.”
Ronan : “Guards! Arrest Liam!”
Liam : “N-NO! Grandfather!!!”
Wei Liu : “…………………………………”
Liam tried to ask for his grandfather Wei Liu’s help but was ignored. Liam had been arrogant relying on his family and grandfather’s name. Abusing his grandfather’s authority within the city to do all sorts of things. He thought that with his grandfather’s power no one could challenge him. He was within his territory, it made him completely unaware of the powers outside their city’s wall. He thought that external powers would not be able to threaten him within the Blood Gate City. His ignorance made him arrogant and led to his downfall. The shock of the incident made Liam lost his mind. He was dragged to the prison by the guards who he ruled over for years. As the grandson of the Punishment Hall who controls the guards, he used them and made them do things against their wills but with the appearance of a more superior power, his control over everyone crumbled in an instant and was instead used against him.
Wei Liu : “Young Master, I apologize for my grandson’s behavior. I was just back from the prison when heard of what my grandson did with your people and rushed back to make things clear but I was late and everything has come to this point. But I managed to get your companions out of the prison and brought them here.”
Luo Kai : “You have my gratitude Elder Wei, I apologize also for my actions, I was swallowed by anger for a moment. I Luo Kai, the leader of Imperial Legion would like to express my gratitude. Allow me to give you a bow.”
Wei Liu : “So it’s the Imperial Legion’s leader whom I’ve heard of and gaining fame this few weeks.”
Luo Kai : “It was all thanks to their hard work. I don’t deserve such praises.”
Wei Liu : “No matter what, I apologize once again Leader Luo.”
The conflicts managed to settle in a positive manner and no more negativities was left behind after the sincere apologize from both sides. After the event the name of the elite group of young people Imperial Legion was spread like wildfire in the neighbouring regions. It had become a dream for many young talents to join the Imperial Legion. Imperial Legion’s legends started at Blood Gate City.
