4- Leaving the town

Qiang Feng climbed up to the house on top of the mountain, where his father was waiting for him. "Father," he said, "I have come to ask your permission to temporarily leave the town and explore the world. I have reached the foundation building stage and I believe I can protect myself."

His father looked at him with a serious expression. "Son, I understand your desire to explore, but the world is dangerous and unpredictable. You must be careful out there."

Qiang Feng nodded. "I understand, Father. But I have also learned about our family's secret. The high human body constitution. Only a few possess it and even then it can only be partially awakened. But I am one of them, and I believe I can handle myself."

He was aware that his family could have more people with the high human body constitution, and his lack of knowledge about it until now indicated that it was a family secret. And with Moria explaining more about it, he was able to deduce that there is something amiss.

His father's eyes widened in surprise. "You

have awakened the high human body constitution? That is a great feat. But how did you find out about this family secret?"

Qiang Feng hesitated for a moment before replying. "I met someone who knew about it. He said his name was Moria."

"Moria?" His father repeated in confusion. "I have never heard of him. Be careful, son. I do not trust outsiders easily. With you, there is four who awakened the high human body constitution, me, your grand father who is now exploring the world, and you great uncle who's in seculusion, it might be a blessing, but I fear it may be a sign of a great misfortune to come."

Qiang Feng was taken aback by the sudden shift in tone and asked for more information, but his father remained tight-lipped. Qiang Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at the ominous warning, but he trusted his father's judgment and knew that he had to be prepared for whatever may come.

When Qiang Feng was about leaving, his father said," Do you know the story of our family".

"Father, I know the general story," Qiang Feng replied, nodding his head. "At some point in history, the Qiang family was a powerful force, not any weaker than any first-class faction. At that time, the domain had yet to have a ruler, and no faction would let others govern over it. That's why the Supremacy War happened, and of course, the Qiang family participated and lost. As It is known, the Broken Sword took the reigns."

"So you must be aware of our family's goal to regain our power," Qiang Feng's father said, his voice solemn. "We have the potential to become a level 2 faction at any given moment. Your uncle is currently in seclusion and could reach the Divine Sea stage soon. As for me, I am close to a breakthrough, and your grandfather is also coming back to attempt one."

Pausing briefly, he continued, "However, I want to warn you that you must be cautious when leaving. We have enemies, and it's imperative that you do not fall into their hands. I would have stopped you from leaving, but our family's rule is that those who possess the high human body constitution have the freedom to do whatever they please."

Hearing this, Qiang Feng was torn between his desire to explore the world and his fear of causing trouble for his family. He returned to his room and lay on his bed, feeling lost and uncertain. Suddenly, he heard Moria's voice.

"You are questioning your life, from just this simple dilemma," Moria said. "You must really look down on me."

Qiang Feng was confused by Moria's words, but before he could ask for clarification, Moria continued, "So what if there are enemies? What's their level of enlightenment stage? Divine sea or more? Do you think that you wouldn't reach those realms soon? I say just leave and do whatever you want. Soon, you will have the ability to hold this world in your hand."

Qiang Feng was struck by Moria's words, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He knew that he had to leave and explore the world, even if it meant putting his family in danger. He felt grateful to Moria for giving him the courage to follow his dreams.

"I think you're right," Qiang Feng said. "I can't let fear hold me back. I have to go out and see the world for myself. Thank you, Moria. You've given me a new perspective on life."

Qiang Feng had made up his mind to depart without any prior notice. He had accumulated a sizeable sum of over 3000 gold coins that would come in handy as his travel expenses. This sudden move not only ensured his father wouldn't try to stop him by sending someone to watch over him but would also catch his family's enemies off-guard.

......

Qiang Hu was seated inside his room when a voice suddenly interrupted him, "The young master is leaving, should I watch over him?" Although he heard the voice, Qiang Hu showed no reaction and calmly replied, "No, there's no need. As someone with the high human body, it's hard to control him." "As you wish," the voice responded before leaving. Once alone, Qiang Hu allowed himself a small smile. "Moria...It's an obvious lie, that kid had some fortunate encounter. Sigh, this only shows how great the upcoming disaster is."

In front of the town's gates, Qiang Feng stood with a small bag slung over his shoulder, containing all the necessary items for his journey. The bag held a map, some energy replenishing pills, a water bottle, and a few other essentials.

As he looked around, Qiang Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He was finally embarking on the journey he had been dreaming of for years. His heart was pounding with excitement and his mind was racing with thoughts of all the adventures that lay ahead.

He took a deep breath, steadying himself for the journey ahead, and turned to his companion. "Let's begin our journey, Moria," he said with a smile.

Moria, his trusted and loyal companion, nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's go," he replied.

Together, they walked out of the town's gates and into the vast, open world beyond. Qiang Feng felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration as they made their way down the dirt road that led away from the town. The sun was shining brightly overhead, and a cool breeze blew through the trees, carrying with it the scent of wildflowers and freshly cut grass.

As they walked, Qiang Feng couldn't help but think about his family and his father's words of caution. He knew that leaving without any warning would be seen as some sort of betrayal, but he couldn't let that stop him. He had to go and explore the world, to find his own path and destiny.

He also knew that there were enemies lurking out there, waiting to take advantage of any weakness or opportunity. But he was determined to face them head-on and prove himself worthy of his family's legacy.

With each step, Qiang Feng felt more and more confident. He was ready for whatever lay ahead, and he knew that with Moria by his side, he could overcome any obstacle.

As the day wore on and the sun began to set in the distance, Qiang Feng and Moria continued their journey into the unknown, with nothing but their courage and determination to guide them.
