--- Zhen Zhi Childhood (2 - 5) ---

"Eh, I just realized, how can we still retrain our cloth, and ring even after severed ?" Said Shu Zan.

"Duh, you just realized ? Aren't both of us have geometrical treasure ? Maybe because them we are not naked when we meet each other." Sneer Fen Yi.

Shu Zan astonished because he never knew that a treasure capable of bringing 'thing' into someone soul.

"Fen Yi, let's think serious, this boy is far too weak, since you want to meet your master, this boy must ascend into divine realm. With his weak body, even if he has trillion years, it's impossible." Said Shu Zan.

"You right, why I never thought this before ? I almost forgot that we reside in the soul of a weak boy."

"What if we give this boy legendary pill, I never saw what happened when a mere mortal ate a legendary pill. Legend says that it will give more benefit to the mortal than the benefit that given when a mystic pill eaten by Divine Creature. So, what Pill did you have ? " Asked Shu Zan.

"I only have 1 red pill that can forcefully recover Origin Qi, its rank, of course, is a Legendary Pill. The other is normal healing pill that can't be used in this boy." 

" What pill. ?"

" I don't know its name, since anything that makes me remember master is forgotten, so this pill is probably from my master."

"Fen Yi, for our sake, you must give that pill to this boy when the time come. As for me, I also have a legendary pill.  Its name is Ocean Soul Pill, it capable of recovering any damage into the soul, if the soul damage is not severe, it can even grow the soul. I believe, if this boy eats this pill, it can increase the soul quality of this boy. Actually, I also have Tears of Queen Treant, well I don't know if this boy can drink it." 

"That's good, but sadly, our problem is the weak body of this boy." Said Fen Yi with a frown.

"We can give this boy a body refining technique."

"Eh, you right, but are this boy is strong enough to withstand the refining process ?"

"Well, I don't know. But since this boy is weak, sooner he will experience many things in his life. I believe, in that time, he can withstand the refining process, we only need time."

"Time ..... , how long I need to wait to meet my master ?" 

"Just be patient, also what body refining technique that you have ?"

"I have Secret Dragon Body Art and Phoenix Body Transformation Technique. It will be hard for the boy to use my technique."

"Well, I have Pure Body Transformation, I also have incomplete Art, but I believe the art is useless for this boy."

"Sigh, did you have a weaker body refining technique ?" Asked Fen YI

"Sadly, not." 

Fen Yi and Shu Zan don't know this thing are a good thing or bad thing. Good thing since they have a strong body refining technique and the boy will benefit more. Bad thing since they don't know whatever the boy is strong to enough to withstand the pain. If the boy can't withstand the pain, he can turn into a crazy person or become crippled. Both outcomes are really bad for both Fen Yi and Shu Zan.

"So, by the way, what about this boy 'talent' status?" Asked Fen Yi

"It's bad, I even felt sorry for this boy. Eh, this boy name is Zhen Zhi, right ? Zhen Zhi body talent is poor, mind talent is above normal and soul talent is very high. We both know why his soul is strong, but honestly, I don't know why his mind talent is above his peers."

"Sigh, don't overthink about that, maybe because his father gave him stupid trauma. Well, I fell happy for that since this boy will never provoke a strong beast by accident." Said Fen Yi.

"Wait . . . ., What the Fuck, Poor body talent ? " Exclaimed Fen YI. She felt surprised about Zhen Zhi's body talent." 

"Yes, you hear it right, poor body talent." Sighed Shu Zan.

"Even if he cultivate to become a magician, with  his frail body, he will be the frailest magician ever in the history." Added Shu Zan.

"Aaaaaaah." Fen Yi became mad because it seems her hope about meeting her master is almost none.

"Don't mad, you will leak your chaotic Qi." Said Shu Zan helplessly.

"I can mad whatever I want, you already see that he can absorb your Qi, right ? Maybe my Qi also can be absorbed." Exclaimed Fen Yi.

"Sigh, but Your Qi is Chaotic, if this boy mood changed and he does a stupid thing, well it will be bad. Just be patient."

"Ok, Ok. Sorry, I always mad." 

"I already accustomed with your temperament, hehehehe. "

"You . . .. "

"Fen Yi, don't forget that this boy can meet some fortuitous event, maybe it can fix this boy body problem. Well, let's be grateful that this boy doesn't have broken meridian so he still can cultivate."

"Why you always think in a positive way ?" Fen  Yi asked.

"And why you always think in a negative way ?" Shu Zan Responded.

Fen YI felt taken back when she heard this, she just realized, why she always think in a negative way ?. After some digging, she realized, she doesn't remember her childhood. Did her master purpously erase her childhood memory, or she actually the one who forgot it ? Tears began to build in her eye. Seeing Fen Yi crying, Shu Zan panicked. He didn't know why Fen Yi crying.

[Did I make her remember a painful memory ? ] Shu Zan thought.

"What happened ?" Asked Shu Zan in a panicked tone.

"Nothing ...." Replied Fen Yi, She wept away her tear.

"Aaaah, eh what time is it ?" Yawn Zhen Zhi. Zhen Zhi just awoke from his slept.

Even If Zhen Zhi knew that sleeping near the pond is dangerous, because he felt heavy fatigue since his body is weak and he also still just only a 4 years old child, he choose to ignore the danger and sleep. Luckily, nothing happened when he felt asleep.

[The sun almost set, it seem that the night almost came. He heheheh, I bet mother felt worried about me] Thought Zhen Zhi.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Zhen Zhi searched his fishing road. After found it, he put it in his backpack. After confirming that he doesn't forget anything, he decided to go back into his home.

[Sigh, why the village and the pond are located far away.] Complained Zhen Zhi.

Rising Sky City is a capital city of Blue Sky Country. The rank of the city, since its the capital city, is a rank 1 M city. Many people resided the city, most of them is a noble, some is rich people, little of them are commoners, either they run a shop or working in an army.

Blue Sky Country is a country that located in the east part of the Sky Continent. There are five other countries in Sky Continent. In the term of power, Blue Sky Country is the third among the six countries. The strongest country in the Sky Continent is Divine Sky Monarch, located in the south of Blue Sky Country.

In the rising sky city, stood a magnificent castle. The castle belongs to the Royal Family of Blue Sky Country. In the castle, there is a big room with a fresh air. Many formations are placed in the wall of the room. There are few table and chairs, in the room. Above the table, there are many jars that contain pill or medicine. On the center of the room, there is  a beautiful warm mattress that sat by a young man. The young man is sitting motionlessly, he actually meditating!

Then suddenly the door in the room has knocked. Hearing the knocked, the young man eye twitched, and then suddenly he shouted.

"Who dare to disturb my training." Yell the young man.

"This humble servant bring important new about the Ancient Lake." Said the voice in outside of the room.

"Good news or Bad news ?" Asked the young man in a high voice.

"This lowly servant asks for forgiveness, this lowly servant bring a bad news."

"You may enter this room." Said the young man with a worried tone.

Zhen Zhi finally arrived at the gate of the village. Since it's already night, no one currently is in the gate. Usually, the watchman guarding the village gate when the midnight came, before it, usually they just chatting with each other in the village bar.

Entering the gate, Zhen Zhi step suddenly halted.

[ Must I went to my house through the usual way or take a detour ? ] Thought Zhen Zhi.

"Using detour is better, I don't want to meet with other." 

Zhen Zhi always bullied, so normally, he hates to meet with his peer.

Assuring himself that using detour is better, Zhen Zhi entered the farm field of the village and went through it.

Sadly, It seems Zhen Zhi prediction is a bit off.

Currently, in Zhen Zhi house, Zhen Shi and her husband are arguing something in the dining room.

"Hellen, Zhi Zhi still not arrived at home. If something happened to him . . . . " Said Zhen Shi with a mad voice.

Realizing that his wife really mad, Hellen tried to calm her.

"Shi, our child is still only 4 years old. Even if he bit genius in term of the brain no matter what he still a child. It's normal children in his age to play something. Maybe right now, he finally playing a game with his peer. He can finally get a friend." Said Hellen confidence.

"But Zhi Zhi never has a friend yet suddenly you said that he play with his peer ? He must be bullied. Why you never protect him at least once ?"

"Shi Shi, since I love my son, with his weak body, I want him to mature early. No matter what the sacrifices, as long my son if life, I'm happy. That's why I let them bully my son so my son will have an encouragement to become strong." Explained Hellen.

"Hmmph, he still only a child yet you want him to mature early ?" Asked Zhen Shi with a higher voice.

"Shi Shi, you never known the outside world, this world is dog eating dog world. You are too naive. Eventually, Zhen Zhi will finally go to outside world." 

"I will not let him enter that world, I will protect him, forever."

"Sighed, you pampered him too much. And he is a boy, he won't need your protection forever."

"But . . . . "

"Enough, if you tried to spoil him more, he will be too weak to protect himself when both of us already died. And you must try to believe your own son, he is not someone who can easily die in the pond. My judgment never wrong. "

When Zhen Zhi is walking through the rice field, he noticed a group of boys. The group of boys are playing football near the rice field.

[Crap, how can they play in here. And it already night ! Did their parent never teach them to not play at night time ? ] Thought Zhen Zhi.

Zhen Zhi never knew that he is the only boy in the village who banned to play when night came, the reason, of course, his mother is worried about him since Zhen Zhi body is too weak.

As for the other child, their parent let them play at night because first, it's safe. They really believe in the protection of their ancestor. The second is to let the children experience cold, fear and many things early.

Zhen Zhi tried to hide in the rice filled by prone his body into the mud. He tried to move slowly.

Sadly, Zhen Zhi luck is worn out. The ball suddenly kicked into his direction, heading into his head. Since he prone himself, he doesn't see the ball, so he doesn't protect his head.

By the time ball hit the ball, Zhen Zhi screamed in pain. With his weak body, he can't endure the pain.

"AAAaaaaaaaaaah." Screamed Zhen Zhi.

The group of boys hearing the cries suddenly felt fear overwhelm them.

"Ghost !!!!!!!!!" Yell all of them in the same time. They desperately tried to run, some of them even already peed themselves.
