Chapter 5

"Tomorrow, you will have a quiz about what we've discussed today, understood?!" Mrs.Villiania said loudly. 

"Yes, ma'am!" the children answered in unison. 

Nodding to their answer, she gave her blessing for the birds to spread their wings and flap back home. "Okay, class dismiss!" 

The class was quiet when she said it, but the moment she left the classroom, immediately a loud cheers and chatters resounded within the classroom as some kids hurriedly ran out while shouting, and some chatted as they laughed before leaving. 

Vanz left the room as well the moment the teacher left and followed to the place where the Grade 5 kids took his classmate. 

With his spiritual awareness as a guide, he easily followed them as his feet brought him to the boundary between the school and the small forest that was famous for couples when midnight.

Vanz immediately spotted them as he focused his spiritual awareness to the four kids, and he was astounded on what he found. 

The four kids wasn't human at all! Not with their bodies made of flexible metals, synthetic polyethylene and other inorganic matters. 

They were very difficult to differentiate with a genuine human as they wore a skin simply similar to a human's skin in both structures and appearance. If he didn't swept them with spiritual awareness, he wouldn't be able to know such intriguing fact. 

In his previous world creating an artificial human like in front of him was very easy. In fact, there were many kinds of Secret Technique that could be cultivated to make a body, either a beast body or a human body. 

However, seeing an artificial human in front of him truly amazed him. How the humans of this world create something such as that? Truly fascinating. 

A world with no cultivation system could create a very complicated thing like an artificial human with complete body parts and functions similar to a genuine human body made only from material things. 

Vanz had read many sciences books, biology books, astronomy, physics books, as well as fictions and novels and many more. As a result, his horizon was broadened by reading it. He didn't know that a human body hid many secrets than what he knew. 

His former world didn't care about studying the human body as they focused on cultivating, treading the bloody path towards Immortality.

The difference of his former world and the his new world was the universal system that dominated the world. In Earth Prime, the people adhere more on the law and act according to the regulations. 

Properly obeying the law that what they knew was right. The people of this world, the past generation was raised in time where war was a normal occurrence, death and killing was normal for survival, but the present generation were all educated, living in peace as they already forgotten the past. 

However, in Vanz's perspective, it was because people were afraid of the law as they weren't powerful as the law and the people that imposed it. 

If this people was kidnapped into a world like his former world, he guessed that they might didn't remain alive long and immediately meet their end. Because his world was much harsher than this new world. 

The fact was, no matter what world it was. Power is still the most important thing that a person must have if living peacefully without worries is what he want.

Power came into different forms. Money, Authority and Strength. In Vanz's case, he had strength. For him, the other two were nothing but worldly matters. For him that pursued Immortality, he had no use of such trivial things, for he could obtain those things as long as he wanted. 

The four androids were ganging up on one weak kid as it was what they were commanded and the kid even after what they all did to him didn't even retaliate. 

"I know that he is kind and softhearted, but this is too much... Do he want to be a saint? If yes, then he is over qualified." Vanz remarked casually. "Now, I know what's really happening. If my guess is right, this kid came from a powerful family and his family want to change his attitude."

Vanz nodded to himself as he caught the gist of the situation. "If I were his father, I might do the same... He will be a weak leader of a powerful family if he's too kind. He can be easily fooled by others and that's not good either."

Sensing Mrs.Villiania approaching their location with a scowl, Vanz didn't revealed himself as he hid on the bushes several meters away. 

The moment Mrs.Villiania saw what the four kids was doing to the frail kid from her class, she grew mad even more. Immediately she shouted. "Stop!"

Mrs.Villiania pushed the four kids away from her student as she helped him stood. "Can you walk Erence?" she asked and the answer she could only get was groans. She sighed and said. "Come, I'll take you to the infirmary." 

Erence was small and not that heavy, so Mrs.Villiania didn't had difficulty carrying him. As they arrived at the infirmary, the school nurse was out on a break, since they weren't teaching, their lunch break was longer than the teachers in the school. Thus, Mrs.Villiania was the one whom treating his injuries, instead of the nurses. 

The four android which were still at the location was about to left when their eyes lost its light as they fell on the ground. They were deactivated and the controllers of the four android were in panic. 

"What's happening?! Who deactivate them?!" shouted a man that seemed to be the boss in a command room.

"Commander, we've lost signals of the androids, but we still know their location due to their trackers." said by one of the men seated next to a computer. 

"Make an immediate order to our agents near the place. Reclaim them at all cost! Don't let any civilians see them laying there like rocks or they might suspect them!" the commander shouted. 

"Immediately, Sir!" answered by one of the men facing the computer. 

Then, a man in military uniform entered the room and stood beside the commander. "Commander, the present method didn't worked. We need more stimulation. One with emotional and physical impact to the subject or this will be a failed mission. I suggest to reclaim the androids for now and let the subject make a single friend... or more. Then, at that time we'll move." 

The Commander looked at the man and spoke. "Changing one's mental attitude, while being careful not to cause too much stimulation. This is really hard than defusing a time bomb. Well then, let us change our ways....."

Back to Vanz location, the four androids laid before him. He knocked them out for the purpose of imprinting his spiritual awareness to them, as well as engraving a Formation in them. 

Vanz was aware of the trackers that was placed inside the androids, and he destroyed it first before doing what he planned. 

Losing the location of four androids, the command room where the four androids were being monitored and controlled became frantic. 

"Sir, we've lost the four androids location, Sir!"

"Someone has tampered with their tracker!" 

"Group Alpha, come in! Immediately go to this coordinates and report back what you see! Apprehend anyone you see, and if possible silence them!" the Commander shouted with anger evident in his voice, as well as frustrated. 

"Roger!" replied the agent, leader of group alpha, as they sped up on their pace. 

At the moment, Vanz had already finished placing the formation inside the core of the four androids. It was done simply by writing formulas with the use of pure qi and spiritual awareness. One of the simple ways to make a formation. 

In his past life, he studied about Formation as well, apart from Alchemy. Like in Alchemy, it was only his past time. People that studied Formations were called Formation Masters and the view of people on them was similar to an Master Alchemist. Living for million of years, Vanz was both a Grand Master Alchemist and Formation Grand Master. . 

Thus, he was knowledgeable about Formations and the formation he placed on the four androids was called, Mind Hive Formation. It was a mystical formation that many Formation Masters studied thoroughly as it was very magical. 

It was done by placing thousand formulas on the core of a person, and for non-living things at their center. Then, wove it into a sphere of formulas creating a virtual space which then become a storage for memories, a virtual space which was endless. 

The Mind Hive Formation was widely used by sects and empires for communicating with their people. A person only needed to store a bit of his Pure Qi Signature in the Mind Hive of another person and they could immediately talk to each other even millions of miles was between them. 

In particular, a communication formation. The Mind Hive was often placed on small objects like rings, earrings and such for convenient use. The Mind Hive Formation could be destroyed simply by crushing the formulas with Pure Qi or destroying the object itself. 

This was just like the cellular phone that the Earth Prime had. But in a unique addition as it gave the object an awareness, or consciousness that could only receive orders from its creator, more like an advance artificial intelligence that could not only accept command codes, but words from its creator. 

And this what Vanz gave to the four androids. He upgraded their system by simply laying a formation. Now, they would not follow any orders from others, but only words from Vanz. 

At first, Vanz only hypothesized it. However, after seeing them stood up and bowed before him, he could say that it was a success. He tampered with the Mind Hive Formation as he added some functions. Merging the Mind Hive Formation with Soul Puppet Formation, now he had four puppets to do his dirty works. 

Sensing some people nearing his location, he immediately ordered the four androids to leave the place and head towards the small forest and hid themselves, unless told otherwise. 

After ensuring that the four androids had hid themselves perfectly, Vanz focused his attention to the approaching people, but at the back of his head, he could still sense the four androids which was a good thing. 

Not far from his hiding place, a group of men in black suits entered his vision. Vanz knew they were not normal as they had an energy similar to Pure Qi around them, only inferior to some degree to Pure Qi. 

"That's right, that energy is Chi..... Interesting..." he mumbled and an idea came to his mind. 

Unlike Pure Qi, Chi was a lower form of energy. It wasn't present in the air like Pure Qi and those that cultivated Chi weren't Cultivators, but Martial Artists. 

They practiced and trained their bodies to exceed their limits. Instead of forming a pure qi springs, they were creating a Dan inside their bodies. Refining Pure Qi into Chi and stored it in their Dan. 

They had their own stages, which followed according to the color of their Dan; White Dan, Yellow Dan, Orange Dan, Green Dan, Blue Dan, Purple Dan, Brown Dan, Red Dan and Black Dan. Respectively, ranked as Disciple, Elite, Adept, Master, Grand Master, Elder, Guru, Sage and Powerhouse. Also divided into Level 1 to 9.

(A/N: e.g. Level 6 Disciple.)

It was the ancient system of his former world before the path to Immortality was discovered. 

The men in black suits searched for their objective, but they didn't found anything, not even a trace of it. Then, a rustling sound came from the bushes. 

"Who is it?! Show yourself!" the one that seemed to be the group leader shouted. 

The rustling stopped as they surrounded the bushes, waiting for what was hiding in the bushes with alerted senses and battle stances. What a mere second passed was like a lifetime as their hearts were filled with suspense. But, it all disappeared when the four androids came out. 

They all let out a sigh of relief as they saw what it was. Though, they were experts in field works, they still couldn't helped but felt an odd sense of dread at this sudden mission and they didn't know why. 

The four androids in a form of a kid was in front of them, standing without a blink. Seeing that there weren't any threats, even so, the dreadful feeling still hadn't disappeared. It was... a foreboding, so the group leader commanded two of his team members to scout the perimeter, before immediately reporting back the command room.
