Zhen Wang Lei wakes up on a small bed, wrapped up in a blanket, a warm room with mellow lighting. Rubbing his blurry eyes, Zhen Wang Lei sits up and scans the room. He sees a cosy fire causing the warmth, a little window and a big wooden door. Who's house is this? Zhen Wang Lei steps out of the unknown bed onto his shaky legs. He slowly makes his way over to the oak door and opens it. Looking into the dimly lit room he sees a man with his face shaded out sitting on a chair. Walking forward for a closer look he makes a sigh of relief. The man smiles at him.

"Zhen Wang Lei, you feeling better now?" It's the man from the food stall. "Yeah, I feel alrig-." His stomach growls cutting him off. The man then laughs and stands up, walking into the little kitchen and pour some soup and puts it on a table. "Here kid, eat up." Zhen Wang Lei's face goes red as he doesn't want to accept it due to pride but was so very very hungry. He sucks it up and sits at the table. "Thanks mister... Thinking about it I've never caught your name." Zhen Wang Lei says taking a sip from a wooden spoon. "Ah I'm Cheun Feng." he says rubbing his chin. "Now that I think about it how do you know my name?" Zhen Wang Lei replies in a curious voice but then takes another sip of this delicious soup. The man then puts a piece of bread on the table to fill Zhen Wang Lei up. "I was friends with your parents." He raises his eyebrow looking at the boy, expecting some kind of reaction. "My parents huh." Zhen Wang Lei says looking into his soup for a brief moment then going back to eating it. "Not gonna ask me any questions, kid?" Cheun Feng says looking at the boy in confusion. "Well I know they died, what's there to ask?" he says with his mouth full. Cheun Feng erupts in laughter, so loud it's as if the house shakes. "Good answer boy! You can live here from today on!" He smirks at the boy, now going onto the bread. "If you have any questions in the future I'm free!" "Yeah whatever." Zhen Wang Lei replies, finishing his food before getting up. "Thanks for the food." "No problem! By the way there's a bath in that room ready for you, oh and I got some new clothes for you to try on!" After his bath, Zhen Wang Lei goes into the room that he woke up in to see a new pair of clothes ready. A black shirt with black shorts and his old shoes but cleaned. He smiles at the site of new clothes. "Thanks old man" He says under his breath before putting them on...

A week passes since that day and Zhen Wang Lei sits on top of a hill, resting his wrist on his knee. He smiles at the view of the wind blowing through the endless rows of grass. "I'm at Bone Refining 5th Stage now." He thinks back to the week prior, when he was beating up by that bastard Lu Heng putting his hands into a fist. "Nows not the time. Cheun Feng said that an annual competition will be held for entry to the third-grade sect Crimson Claw Sect. That's when I can get my revenge! But I have until tomorrow and I hope to break through!" Zhen Wang Lei crosses his legs and begins to circulate his qi. After a few hours he pushes through the barely resisting bottleneck and breaks through! "I broke through quicker that I thought I would." Zhen Wang Lei smiles and stands back up. "It's time for the test."

A day passes, Zhen Wang Lei gets out of bed and gets dressed. "I'll see you later old man Cheun Feng!" He rushes out of the house in great excitement for the test. Cheun Feng smiles as he runs off "Lilia, Marc, your kid's following your path." he sighs. Zhen Wang Lei arrives at the testing site. A man stands on a flying sword in front of them. He must be at the Qi Refinement Realm, above the Foundation Establishment Realm! Two more people stand behind them, one a beautiful woman with crimson red eyes and fair white hair, the other just a basic looking guy who looks to be in his twenties with brown hair. "Our Crimson Claw Sect has come to your village to see if there are any promising talents here! If you pass some tests you will be entered into a tournament and the top 2 may join the sect! Only those aged 12 may participate this year!" Everyone look up at them in awe, what a wonderous world they live in to even be able to fly on swords! "Tch, why do we have to come to such a backwater village?" The bland looking guy says. The girl looks over at the man and speaks with her gentle and mesmerizing voice. "Talents could be found anywhere." The man sighs and seemingly backs down due to the woman. "Okay! Line up and come one by one!" The man at the front with blue hair jumps down and gracefully lands on his feet. "No need to be scared, just turn your back and let my energy flow." The man places his hand on the upper back of the boy and releases his qi into him but after a while he stops and shakes his head. "Fail." The boy walks away with a frown on his face but looking exhausted. One by one people go up but no one has passed. Purple hair is seen, it's Lu Heng! He walks up with a confident smirk on his face. The blue haired cultivator releases his energy into him, after a minute passes he stops. "Pass." Lu Heng walks to the stage where the fighting will commence with a haughty look on his face. But as you look closer you can see he's sweating and breathing heavily. "That was close." He mutters to himself. After about another 50 people there are only around 5 left. "Next." Zhen Wang Lei steps up, he turns his back to the man and then the hand is placed onto his back. "I'm going to start now." The man says to Zhen Wang Lei, he nods in reply to him and closes his eyes.
