Jill was rather irritated, she accused Kuro for all the shortcommings of the Alliance, even as he took 80% of their members with him, she didn't blink an eye, because she knew that if she wanted to she could beat up all of them and if she couldn't, she would ask her bro for help, just the two of them were enough to destroy any gang that wanted to rise.

Kuro hadn't thought it through as he created his own force the Black Alliance, problem was that his members wouldn't even dare to think of opposing the queen. They knew full well that if she wanted to she could crush them just by herself, now that her ailment disappeared she was almost as strong as their Assault General, Minato, whom was also her brother.

If they didn't fear Jill enough, then they trembled by just thinking of her brother, whom could even bend metal rods with his hands.

Niijima was really disatisfied with his Son Kuro, there were lots of reasons, but one of them was that he gave up on the Shinpaku Alliance too easily, he could have asked for forgiveness or manipulate here and there to gain some favour with the girl, why start a lovers quarrel. This benefited nobody and his Black Alliance could be crushed any moment the girl wished to do so, they had no infastructure or elites and were a bunch of weaklings with no ability to recruit anyone, it was as if they were just asking for a beating.

Jill was at her Shinpaku alliance, sitting on her throne, looking all high and mighty. The remaining members of the Alliance brought back some drinks with them, all of which were beer. Jill wasn't too keen on doing illegal stuff, but at her current state of disappointment in everything and everyone, she took a beer as well, just out of couriosity.

She woke up a bit dizzy, she felt her arms and legs were tied, her mouth was also shut by something, She had been abducted. She couldn't even tell how or why, was this the effect of alcohol?

"How do you feel Jill, being helpless, with nobody coming to save you, you know you created this situation by yourself, didn't you know that the Shinpaku alliance was made by my father, the whole group was but a bargaining chip, if they had lost to Yomi, he was planning to join them, but since your father produced too many flukes, they survived till today as an opposing force, but the leader of the Shinpaku Alliance was never a Shirahama, It was I whom recruited almost everyone, I helped calm down the people you guys beat up, just to test how strong you had become, I even told them to just beat up some others for stress relief, because if the others dared to hit back, we could call one of you guys to roughen them up. Did you know that under your rule, everyone in the school hated the Shinpaku Alliance, truth was that it wasn't even my fault, it was you guys that did it all on your own, seeing you guys unscratched, while everyone else was getting beaten, seeing you sitting on that throne all high and mighty, seeing your brother break walls with his bare hands, your rule was based on fear, but I did things differently, I'm not a monster like you guys, I'm part of the rubble, the little guys, if we can't defeat you guys the direct way, we can just play dirty."

Jill tried to say something, but the sound was muffled by the cloth covering her mouth, she tried to break the ropes holding her, but could do nothing, her strength wasn't enough to break a rope.

"Do you know why we are holding you hostage? because with you here, we can make your brother and whole family do whatever we like, without fear of repercution, all we have to do is deliver you to the representatives from Yami and everything is over"

Kuro approached her and begun to molest her, she felt really uncomfortable and angry.

"You know at first I wanted to make you my woman, right here and now, but I'm not an idiot, I know full well what awaits me if I even touch your hair, I really prefered you when you were weak and vulnerable, you were so cute and when you were trying to boss everyone around, now you're no different than an angry bitch, barking orders left and right, as if you owned the Alliance, I'll have you know that the Leader of Shinpaku alliance was always a Niijima!"

Kuro pulled at her hair until he heard her make a groan, only then was he satisfied.

Back in Ryozanpaku everyone was anxious, little Jill still hadn't returned from her Shinpaku Alliance and she was never late for dinner before.

Everyone begun to search for her, asking around, but the Shinpaku alliance was empty, there was no way to find her in this large town without any clues or help.

The masters spent an hour to find her location, but upon arrival, the girl wasn't there. The Kidnappers had left not too long ago, meaning that someone had tipped them off, there was a spy in the Ryozanpaku dojo and it had to be one of the brats training there.

There was however no doubt that Yami had a hand in this matter, they had to find little Jill and they could use all the help they could get. Kenichi and Miu begun calling all of their friends, of course the calls reached me as well, mostly Kisara trying to order me around again. At the moment however I had nothing better to do.

I froze time and headed to the town, in the town I saw the elder running around, looking for for something, Kisara hadn't informed me what they wanted from me, just to get my ass over there.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

I left the elder to do whatever he was doing in frozen time world and went to Ryozanpaku, I didn't know why Kisara would tell me to go there. Learning that Jill was kidnapped didn't really surprise me, they were just asking for something like that to happen.

Well it wasn't hard for me to find her location, all I had to do was follow the Seals I had placed inside of her, it was rather easy.

I froze time and went to find the girl, I could see the elder Jumping in the sky like some sort of Wild Animal, should I call him down?

Nah, too bothersome, that old man doesn't look too sane to me right now, I should go get his grand grand daughter to safety first and then wait until he calms down.

Jill was in a dark room tied up and sobbing herself to sleep, outside there was only one guy, playing on his mobile phone. I went inside and resumed time, the girl was shocked to see me, I used my dagger to cut her restraints, the next moment the stupid girl rushed at me and kissed me, her wet from tears face for a moment touched mine. The girl must have been really scared.

I took her out of that dark place in frozen time and brought her back to Ryozanpaku before leaving, although I won't deny that the kiss was a bit premature, having a young girl kiss you in the mouth, is a weirdly awkward experience.

Jill was confused as she suddenly found herself in the midst of familiar people, it was as if this was all a bad dream, a nightmare that had just ended as fast as it had started. There was no fighting, no blood no sweat, just appearing out of nowhere, rescuing her and disappearing again.

Everyone was happy to see her home safe, there was no question whom had saved her and Kisara even called to thank, but I was not in the mood for that, reason being because I had just been Injured while a stupid old man decided to exchange pointers with me after seeing his grand grand daughter was safe and sound, was this way of saying thanks for saving her?

The battle was just as he said, an echange of pointers, but I discovered that the old man was too strong and too fast for me to cope with, the man had outmatched me already.

While I had selected 3 coultivation methods that would take too much time to advance, the old man only took one method, the most direct, fastest and strongest method.

At this time he was already 1 level above me, even if I wanted to In order to advance to Core formation I still have to reach all three methods to the 3rd level. But the third coultivation method I selected was really weird, the "Doing two things at the same time" coultivation method is insanely difficult, I have reached the second level in it, but I can't seem to break through unless I grow a second head or something.

In simple words the Old man had entered Core formation, once he formed his core he would be able to fly in the air as if he was made of nothing but smoke. Me on the other side I was still in the Foundation establishment, a whole level bellow him, I hadn't even finished setting the foundations for the core and he was already at the peak of that stage.

Now because of that I was seriously wounded, just from a flick of his finger, I was too frail to fight against him and even if I had used all of my speed, I had no way of overcoming the difference, when I approached him, I felt as if I was trying to walk through water, I felt a pressure that I had never felt before. This was the suppression caused by a higher tier coultivator, I had lost before it even begun.

The problem however is that the Elder could no longer seal his strength with my talismans, because I was too low level.

What followed were years maybe more of training in the frozen world state, the Elder's existance was sort like that of a Rival in the field of coultivation, a driving force to make me try harder.

What I didn't know however was that he later formed his core and by doing so he no longer needed my help to control his strength and perception, after experimenting in that little brawl with me, he had found how to abjust them rather easily, only the pressure he gave off was sort of a problem as it caused regular people to suffocate just by approaching him, all he could do was stay in seclusion, this must be what closed door cultivation felt like in those novels.

I on the other hand was going crazy, I was unable to understand how to advance in this third technique, if all three aren't at similar levels, then I can't break through in any of them. This weird cloning technique however was irritating me, it was too complex and too outrageous.

I don't know if it was a sudden enlightment from heavens or a weird conincidence, but I had used the Dou Sei Roar as one, out of pure rage, at that moment I hit me like a thunder, I broke through the last bottleneck needed to advance.

The strange thing however was that I could hear another voice inside of me, one that was Irrational and naive, like a little child.

He was the me from long ago, willful and wild, ready for anything and caring little for the consequences.

If this was what happens when you reach core formation, then I wonder what will happen next, It's like a little brat has begun living inside my head or something, really irritating.

The brat tells me to have a revance with the Elder, he's really brave, but I'm not stupid I know that I have to train another level in order to be his match.

Training in Talisman making is probably the easiest, all you have to do is consume time and you break through, just by following the manuals, the problem is the other two techniques.

The Temporal Distortion technique has to do with body refining and it requires insane amounts of resources, I could just steal them, but problem is that to steal them I have to find them first and I'm only one man.

As for the last and weirdest technique, it's supposed to train one's soul, but all I get from it is some idiotic inner voice, I have no idea how to advance in it.

Non the less I only had to train in talismans in order to counter the elder, at least for the time being I could do nothing else.

Time passed in the frozen world and I was now fully healed and once more back in my island, time resumed and my phone rung, It was Kisara, I tried to take the phone and I broke it by mistake.
