To cultivate, Zhao ling went to the forest to find as many minion tier monsters as he could. And absorbing their crystal, this is how he managed to break thought to the bronze realm. At first he had relied on traps to hunt this mere minion tear beast.

At a distance he saw a Rabbit with noticeably muscly legs. So he had entered a stance

Zhao ling: I heard this rabbits were fast, It'll be perfect practice for my 'moonlight dance'

As he finished his thought, he disappeared into thin air.

5 years ago

A young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes can be seen outside a store. Watching the tv from the outside

Zhao ling: So those are "hunters" huh? Will I be able to become as strong as them when I grow up?

Kat: zhao ling let's go home, We need to prepare dinner

As they continued to walk home zhao lings eyes were fixated on one thing, a poster of his father.

With shiny eyes, Zhao ling wondered if his father was ever gonna visit him and his mother.

They made it home and as they entered there was a shadow following them from a distance.

A minion rank shadow beast. A deceitful and cunning beast. It attacked Zhao ling and knocked him out. His mother came in the room and immediately grabbed a knife to fend off the monster until it bit her

Kat: "ARGHHHHH!"

Zhao ling: "...mom?" as his eyes opened he saw the monster chewing on his mom's arms. And his mom laid on the floor unconscious. Enraged, he picked up his feet a mimicked a technique he saw on tv

Zhao Ling: "Flaming Kick" he kicked the monster with enough force to throw it into the wall

Shadow demon: "KRKKKKKKKKKKKSHHHHHHHHKRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" It tried to jump at him

Zhao ling dodge immediately and kicked it to gain some distance then he went over to his unconscious mother and took her knife, without hesitation he stabbed the monster's neck as it tried to jump at him.

Minutes had passed and Zhao ling had just finished processing about the monster he just killed.

A minion rank monster is as strong as an adult human. And he killed it with little to no injuries.

He remembered to take it's core in its stomach.

Zhao ling: "This is worth a lot if I can sell it, maybe mother doesn't have to work for a few days"

He then went to his mother to wake her up

Zhao: "mom I got a demon core, you don't have to work for now"

Kat, knowing that a demon core from a minion beast was virtually worth nothing and can only feed them for one day at most, so she decided to give it to him instead

Kat: "It's okay honey, if you were able to kill a demon beast, then this demon core is more useful for you"

Zhao ling confused decided to take it anyway "O-ok mom"

A few weeks later…

Zhao ling with a pan in his hand a knife on the other decided to hunt for some demon beast

He had no luck in finding demon beast, but he won't give up that easily.

Present time:

at the rizal park. Zhao ling was meditating and contemplating on how he can support his mother. He had heard that there was an underground tournament that pays decently. But that would mean he would need to fight other humans. Reluctant, he saw no other choice but to try it out at the very least and support his mother

As he searched for it during the night and asked questions to locals

A small amount of lightning appeared in his eyes

Zhao ling: I wonder if I can finally use that technique...
