In the morning, Lin Ming awoke, feeling happy and refreshed. As he began walking toward the training field, he could hear Yun Wai Tian yelling in the distance. He smiled wryly, wondering who made him mad this time. Still smiling, Lin Ming began running toward the noise. He was met with a very grumpy Yun Wai Tian, and 24 students running laps. "Lin Ming! Run 10 laps for being late!" He said angrily. Lin Ming only smiled and began running. First lap, second, third fourth.....ninth tenth. When he finished, he ran back, and joined the other children in their task of gathering qi to themselves. He sat down and began rotating his qi, very slowly attacking the boundary between the early and middle Muscle Strengthening realms. Slowly he pushed his qi into his muscles, strengthening them, and absorbed more qi to make up for the amount he lost. He constantly attacked the boundary, until finally, it shattered. He had done it. Lin Ming had broken into the middle Muscle Strengthening realm. As he stood up and looked around exhilirated, he realized that everyone was watching him an shock and silence. Lin Ming also realized that it was already sunset, and he awkwardly began heading home, still being watched by everyone. Suddenly, a strong ripple went through the air, so strong some students visibly paled, while the others began to cough up blood. Lin Ming himself had his qi disrupted, and it was sent into chaos inside his body. He gritted his teeth and rotated the qi to withstand the ripple. He ignored his qeuasy stomach and looked tward where the tremeor originated. There he saw two robed men. But they weren't normal, they were floating in midair. These men faced off. Yun Wai Tian was the first to recover and shouted,"Everyone to the opposite side of the city!NOW!" with audible urgency. Everyone understood and began running. When the arrived, Lin Ming turned around and began watching. "Dylan hand over the treasure! NOW! and I may spare your life." The red robed man said. The green robed man, Dylan laughed,"I killed your junior apprentice brother, even if I do hand over the treasure then you will never spare me!" "Smart man!" The red robed man growled,"Then I will have to take it by force!" as he said this, the red robed man raised his arm, muttered something incomprehensible, and a flaming dragon burst from his hand and roared. Dylan simply snorted, and drew his sword, then as quick as a flash, the fire dragon was split in half horizontally. "If thats all you, then you can simply lay down your life and die a dogs death!" In reply, the red robed man raised his arm and muttered another spell. After a few seconds, flaming meteorites fell from the sky. Immediately, everyone paled, and ducked. Lin Ming ducked. When he looked up, he saw a flaming meteorite growing bigger and bigger. Until everything went dark. When he awoke, what used to be the city, was now a burning wasteland. He stared in shock until he began crying. He cryed and cryed until a voice rang into his head

Young man, do not cry. I can give you the power you need for a simple cost. When you become all powerful, then you will kill one man for me.

Lin Ming sniffled, wiped away his tears and followed the voice's directions, until he walked to a meteor. There his body began to walk by itself, onto the meteor, and he saw a shining talisman. His body again moved by it's own accord until it touched the talisman. Then everything went dark.
