They finally after a while come into a front of a house, not too big but not too small and possesses good spiritual energy.

The house has a small courtyard with bright coloured flower, the fragrance is inviting and the energy is good.

Yu Wang could sense all this as he entered the gates guarded by 2 muscly men, both are Profound Reflection rank, peak level.

So, this two people come from a background Yu Wang mused.

Why else would they have guards? Yu Wang then waited a while in the guest room while Su Feng and Daji went to inform their fathers about him.

A few moments later, while he is sipping tea, an old man appeared, long beard and of dignity.

His face has a little wrinkle but there is vitality, his hand has veins bulging yet his body is slim, he is tall probably 6 feet tall and Yu Wang is 4 feet high, high for his age.

Quickly Yu Wang trying to grab a sense of the old man power level. He release his spiritual energy and he got his answer.

It was Profound Soul Peak level, probably a few steps away from Pure Soul, forming cores of energy in his body.

He is not weak though compared to my teacher he is weak. Still Yu Wang did not forget propriety

‘Senior my name is Yu Wang, lost in the hills and thanks to the generosity of Senior children, they invite me here to Senior house.’ Yu Wang said cupping his hand.

The old man sits and looks at Yu Wang. The old man also use his soul sense to determine Yu Wang cultivation base and he found out that Yu Wang is of Profound Understanding Peak level.

Oho! This young boy I quite talented. He thought to himself. In the old man eyes, Yu Wang is really young. While being Profound understanding is normal but of peak level!

That is usually some people that enter some sects or school of cultivation. Of course YU Wang could not be called a genius.

After all there are some people who reached the level of Profound Soul at the same age of Yu Wang.

But that is because the old man don’t know if Yu Wang really release the entirety of his soul pressure aided with the two cores of power that rest in his heart and the middle of his forehead, his power would be of Profound Soul middle level.

That could be considered a genius.

The old man nodded.

‘My name is Marquis Su Hu. I am the Marquis of Jizhou. Me and my family are here in Guilin for our annual hunting. My son and daughter have relayed to me of your circumstances. It seems you are a cultivator with no sects?’

Yu Wang nodded.

To be so young and to be in no school or sect while reaching his cultivation base? This is impossible Su Hu mused.

He must have some background he can’t talk about. Anyway that is not a problem if his son want to forge some relationship with this kid he thought to himself.

‘You are welcome to stay as long as you like in this house. Since my son treated you like a friend I as his father will also treats you like a friend.’

Then suddenly from the front gate Yu Wang ears could hear the horse hooves coming in droves inside the house.

Then rushing footsteps is nearing their room.

‘Father I have returned’ the voice bellowed outside. What powerful voice! Yu Wang remarked.

Then a man enter the room, his body is muscly, holding a spear with some inscription in his left hand, holding it like a stick, his face is handsome and his hairs is flowing long to his shoulders.

He looks like a young brave warrior and power radiated from him and combined with the way he carry himself, Yu Wang believes this man is very dignified.

‘Su Quanzhong my older brother’ Su Feng said as he approached Yu Wang and introduced the man that just enter the room.

Yu Wang nodded. The man that is called Quanzhong enter the room and look at Yu Wang. And there is some confusion in his face. Clearly he is not expecting strangers.

He look at his younger brother and said is a harsh tone.

‘Explain’ his voice is authoritative and Su Feng is startled and quickly he introduce Yu Wang to his older brother

‘Older brother, this is a traveler I met in the forest while I and Daji went searching for herbs. Seeing that he is lost and alone, I invite him to our house.’

‘In the forest?’ Quanzhong said his tone was chilly and his eyes glares at Yu Wang, inspecting everything about Yu Wang from his clothes and the way Yu Wang carry himself.

‘Father, have you verify his identity?’

‘I have. There is no reason for him to lie to us. He is an unlucky cultivator and your brother just wish to help him. Do not show such scary expression. I know you are worried about the Prince threat but he is not one of the Prince men. I am sure of it.’

Quanzhong looks again at Yu Wang and he feels that Yu Wang has a kind of face that make people want to believe him, a kind and generous face, and the way he carries himself is noble. This, Quanzhong could feel only by a glance.

‘Father is too trusting. He might be a spy from the Prince Zhou. The Minister has warned us, didn’t he?’

‘How could he be-‘ Su Feng was about to say while Daji has begun sensing some trouble about to erupt.

She knows the temper of her older brother. It is hard to calm him, even harder to make him see reason when he has become stubborn.

‘Isn’t his stories too weird? How could a young person as him roam the forest late at night and not to mention his clothes is very clean.’

Then Quanzhong releases his spiritual pressure a Profound Soul middle level spirit pressure crashing down to Yu Wang but Yu Wang remain calm as the spinning core absorb the impact and the fluctuating energy disperse in an instant.

But Yu Wang knows, trouble is brewing. Whatever this family problem it seems he is caught up in their troubles.

Thinking about it he is suspicious even by his own standards.

The fact that Yu Wang can remain calm when being attacked by such spiritual pressure shocked both Su Hu and Quanzhong.

This just increase Quanzhong suspicion. A Profound Understanding peak level could bear the entire pressure of Profound Soul middle level.

‘Who are you!’ Quanzhong yelled his spear stand at the ready pointing at Yu Wang.

‘Cease this Quanzhong! He is our guest.’ Su Hu said words of advice while Daji quickly grab Su Feng sleeve and brought him farther away from the conflict, sure that his brother would cause trouble with the young kid.

‘I am Yu Wang.’ Yu Wang said calmly cupping his hand.

‘What is your identity!’

‘I am a young man lost at the forest.’

Pei! You are the Prince lackey right! Father I heard from minister Jiang that the Prince has sent threats to your life. He said to be careful from strangers. And here is the proof! Just a few months after the minister warning, a stranger has appeared at night. He must be some kind of assassin sent to end your life.’

And hearing this Su Hu also remembers the minister advice. When he think of the circumstances of this young man named Yu Wang, it is truly to bizarre.

He also hesitated.

Seeing that the people of this household doubt him, he does not want any trouble so Yu Wang cupped his hand and said.

‘It seems everyone is uncomfortable with junior presence. If this is the case, then I will leave. There is no need to make this bigger than it is.’

‘Hah! You want to leave wherever you want assassin? Not so easy! I will make you spill all the Prince plot!’Quanzhong said in a mocking tone.

Hearing this Yu Wang became a bit annoyed. This man, Quanzhong is clearly older than him by a few years and Yu Wang has shown him face but he keeps accusing Yu Wang.

‘Senior this is too much.’ He said, his voice is still calm but there is an edge in his voice.

‘First you accuse me of a spy. Now you accuse me as an assassin. I said I want to leave; now you want to hold me. The Way of Heaven is to help and not harm. Your brother has help me and shown kindness why should I harm your families? Instead of listening to my story you hurl insults and accusation.’

Then Yu Wang turns to Su Daji and Su Feng.

‘I, Yu Wang am sorry for my presence has ruined your night. I ask the permission of Marquis Su Hu to exit this house. My presence is not wanted, why stay?’

Then Yu Wang walk to the exit but Quanzhong is not satisfy with this kind of ending and he rushed to Yu Wang trying to wound Yu Wang , his soul pressure emanated from his body attacking Yu Wang with 10 percent of his power.

‘You are the Prince lackey! How could I let you go when you in front of me!’ He yelled.

Feeling the malevolent sword pressure Yu Wang sense alerted him and quickly he turned back to face the spears that is coming towards him.

Yu Wang exploded with the power in the core of rotating spiral in his forehead and heart and the pressure it emitted was of Profound Soul middle level the same rank as Quanzhong and one could imagine the look of shock in Quanzhong face as he realize this.

When the explosive power is released the tree near the middle of the courtyard is broken into two while Su Feng had to endure the Spiritual Pressure and his knees almost buckled protecting Daji with his meager Profound Understanding power.

Quickly Su Hu came near Su Feng and Daji and quickly release his spiritual pressure to hold down the malevolent pressure of the battle from his son and daughter.

This is too impressive said Su hu in his heart while Su Feng look in awe at Yu Wang.

‘And to think I dare call him Junior! My eyes must be going blind!’ he said as the battle begins in the courtyard.

Yu Wang power was explosive, the spear stooped in midair held back by the pressure of Yu Wang spiritual energy, as the rotating spiral in Yu Wang body spinning with great ferocity as the spiritual energy around the area is being sucked into Yu Wang body with an accelerated rate.

A fierce look filled his face. And Yu Wang with his spiritual pressure pushed Quanzhong away and Quanzhong was sent two feet backwards but still standing.

‘What did I say? This young man hides his cultivation base.’ Quanzhong said looking at his father and then turned back looking at Yu Wang with hatred. His misunderstanding deepens.

‘What was I supposed to do then, Senior Quanzhong? Let you stab me? I did not attack first. You attack first and I just return the favour.’

On the other hand, Su Hu and Su Feng is shocked beyond belief seeing another display of strength from the young kid.

 This young man is clearly someone from great clans or sect. To reach Profound Soul middle level at such age, even younger than Quanzhong, this mean this boy is truly a genius.

‘And again you accuse me. I am not anyone lackeys’

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

But Quanzhong is blinded by his belief and paranoia. Seeing that the young boy is not only the same level as him but can also hides his cultivation level it becomes more obvious to him, that Yu Wang is a spy.

Of course if he thinks a bit why would the Prince send a young boy to do a man’s work? It doesn’t make sense.

There must be even Earth realm cultivators in the Palace even though there is only a few.

‘You are stubborn like rocks. Reason washes over you like droplets of rain.’ Yu Wang said while shaking his head.

Yu Wang then readies his stance seeing that Quanzhong rushed to him striking multiple strikes of spear strikes, yet Yu Wang effortlessly dodge it all.

Comparing it to his second teacher strikes, Quanzhong strikes is too slow. But Yu Wang seeing the attack misses him by inches feel that this kind of strikes s familiar.

He racked his brain amidst the barrage of piercing motions of Quanzhong.

‘Here take this’ Quanzhong said, this time his strike trajectory change to one of Yu Wang vital organs, the heart.

And finally Yu Wang remembers.

It’s that! He thought joyfully in his mind. He then smiles. If it’s that, then defeating him would be easy as long as he does not master until the fifth lesson.

This time instead of using the Ice Sword Princess, Yu Wang intends to relay his true intention. He does not want this misunderstanding grew bigger.

Using only his bare hands, Yu Wang makes an upward circular movement forward, yielding with his arms to disrupt Quanzhong center of gravity.

‘He is warding of brother Quanzhong attack only with his bare hands’ Su Daji exclaimed, her eyes shines with admiration.

‘To fight an armed opponent with bare hands! He must have great confidence and reflexes.’ Su Hu said.

By now it is obvious to Su Hu that this Yu Wang means his family no harm. And by now Su Hu has had quite an inkling of who Yu Wang is.

Considering his power and his word, Su Hu finally understands.

He might not have sects but that doesn’t mean he has no teacher thought Su Hu. He must be a disciple of some eccentric cultivator.

If following that line of thought maybe his teachers send him into that forest for him to train. Confident of his conclusion he quickly orders his son to cease fighting.

‘Quanzhong stop!’ Su Hu ordered but how could Quanzhong stopped. He is confident that this young man is trying to harm his family.

And he keeps changing his movement but none of it could even put a scratch on Yu Wang, as Yu Wang dodging it like the wind, dodging left and right.

Quanzhong on the other hand is perplexed.

No matter how fast his strike, none of it could even touch Yu Wang , not even one scratch of fabric on his clothes is affected.

Even though his attack grows harder and stronger at each strike none of it could reach Yu Wang.

It was almost like Yu Wang could anticipate the spear trajectory and movements.

Then another strikes almost pierced Yu Wang heart but this time Yu Wang said

‘Lu!’ as he move his hand sideway in a circular yielding movement deflecting his spear and Yu Wang use his spirit pressure to push Quanzhong five feet away as he stumble to the ground.

But quickly Quanzhong get up and look again at his enemies. He is confused. He is losing his confidence. Who is this young boy? He thought to himself.

Yu Wang on the other hand is standing in equilibrium; his stance is stable and is waiting for Quanzhong to come at him.

He could have pounced and attack Quanzhong before but he did not. Quanzhong become more confused.

‘Spear Fang of Water Dragon’ Yu Wang suddenly said smiling.

‘Thirty moves, when mastered could even pierce the Mountains, rock the sea.’ As Yu Wang said this Quanzhong face become pales.

‘How could you know this!’ Quanzhong yelled as he takes as step backward recollecting his breath.

‘The Yang Spear Sect secret technique.’ Yu Wang said and he smiles. He still remembers his second teacher told him about this technique.

Then he recited the Thirty Lesson, The Five Moves, Hundreds Variations of Spear Fang of Water Dragon Manual.

‘First lesson. What is firmly rooted cannot be pulled out. The Spear strikes hard and fast. Stones crumbles, the wind sliced. The Second lesson. Strikes hard and fast, but becomes gentle like water, fierce like fire; the Five elements will work in your favour. Third lesson. Spring and Sumer, winter and autumn. Be fast, be slow, be strong, be gentle. These four movements collect it in your mind; remember it with your muscle. Lesson Four. The nerve and muscle must be trained. The Spiritual power must be channeled. Open the wei layer, attain great strength. Lesson Five. Wei, Ying, Yuan. Open the layers, attain enlightenment, strikes become wind, piercing motion become flash of thunders.

‘Stop’ Su Quanzhong said. Quanzhong is trembling now.

And Yu Wang stopped reciting the manuals while Su Hu who listen at the words that comes out from Yu Wang mouths knows that that is the true manuals of the Water Dragon Spear Technique and quickly he committed everything that Yu Wang said inside his mind.

It is true what Yu Wang said, Quanzhong thought to himself. This is the Yang Spear Sect secret technique.

Su Quanzhong only mastered the two lessons while the other thirty lesson and movement he still does not mastered it.

But who is this boy? To know so much about his sect and even his sect secret technique. Then Yu Wang cupped his hand again.

‘So Senior is from Yang Sect. No wonder the spear strikes are so domineering. But if I have to give an advice, Senior has to lessen unneeded movement and focus more on the surrounding. The core of the Spear technique is the ability to use the environment to help the cultivator in battles and not the other way around. The Five Elements plays an instrumental part in the technique core.’

Hearing this Quanzhong wanted to cough blood. This young man instead of insulting him is giving him advice.

‘Quanzhong stop.’ Once again Su Hu orders his son to cease fighting.

The winner has already been decided and knowing that Yu Wang must be some disciple of some eccentric even Su Hu dares not to find out for himself how powerful the kid teacher is.

It is true what people said. Sometime in life you will encounter an absurd situation. And this is one. Su Hu mused.

Who would have thought he would encounter a boy with such cultivation base in the middle of nowhere as he rested a while from the Palace.

 Yu Wang looking at Su Hu nodded,. Yu Wang understands that Marquis Su Hu understand that he means his family no harm.

For the entirety of the battle, not once Yu Wang use any weapons but he still perfectly dominates Quanzhong.

If Yu Wang uses weapons, Quanzhong head would be forfeited by now. By now Quanzhong has already realize he might have made a mistake.

This time Quanzhong cupped his hand. By now he already realized and understands why Yu Wang didn’t use any weapons fighting him.

If Yu Wang knew the core of his technique, it also means he knows his technique weakness.

If Yu Wang wanted to defeat Quanzhong it would be very easy. But now Quanzhong fighting spirit is aroused.

‘Yu Wang is it? I apologized to Junior Yu for suspecting but one can’t be too careful’ Quanzhong said his head bowed down, a sincere apology is offered.

Yu Wang relaxes his guard then said

‘A great nation is like a great man. When he makes a mistake, he realizes it. Having realized it, he admits it. Having admitted it, he corrects it. He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers. He thinks of his enemy as the shadow that he himself casts’

 Yu Wang said and accept Quanzhong apology and Quanzhong hearing this laughed.

So, this young kid equates me as a great man, not once he yelled of the unfairness, appeasing me, even though he won?

Too humble. Too humble! For someone so strong yet so humble what kind of book he read what kind of teacher that teaches him? Su Quanzhong mused.

But then Quanzhong recalled Yu Wang words.

Then doesn’t that mean he equate himself as my teacher, my rashness is my enemy? Is he humble or arrogant?

Equating himself as my teacher means he is more knowledgeable than me, telling me of my faults he see himself as a benevolent teacher, my rashness is the enemy so why become so serious?

The rashness and worries is the shadows he cast, so the consequence of such actions is his fault and not Yu Wang.

Quanzhong doesn’t know whether to be angry or thank Yu Wang.

But then Quanzhong look at Yu Wang with determination.

‘I am confident now that you are not a spy of the Prince but your talent in cultivation and battle technique is truly outstanding for someone so young. If you don’t mind I would like to exchange some pointers with Junior Yu.’

Yu Wang eyebrows creased hard. He doesn’t like to fight but in front of Quanzhong passionate determination Yu Wang nodded.

‘Come then. But let us battle outside this house. I would not want to make a mess.’ And the battle started anew as Quanzhong body emitted spiritual pressure and the energy around the house begin spiraling near the feet of Quanzhong.

‘I may be the disciple of the Yang Sect but that is not the only technique I grasped.’ Yu Wang smiles hearing Quanzhong words.

‘Then please enlighten me Senior Quanzhong.’

The audience on the other hand back away more than before as they watched this battle between cultivators of Profound Soul.

Su Feng and Su Hu eyes are open. Truly there are snakes and dragons in this world and now accidentally they invite a dragon inside their house.

Su Hu is not that worried considering he is of Pure Soul Peak Level but this youngster truly degrading his confidence.

His son is amazing enough but now thus Yu Wang appears out of nowhere, 12 years old and already possessing powers of Profound Soul Middle Level.

Both of the cultivators then jump outside the house and landed into a lake behind the house.

Su Hu grabbed his son and daughters with both of his arms and follows Yu Wang and Quanzhong as their battle begins again.
