Chapter 7- Temples Everywhere

Enough time passed for an incense stick to burn, and Yin opened his eyes smile on his face, his body still obviously in pain, he saw Purk, Zen, Jakob and Master Taku staring at him.

Yin started laughing awkwardly, ‘Did I over did it?’ He thought and tried to get off the bed but all parts of his body hurt, so he stayed still bowing slightly, “Hello Master Taku. Why you all looking at me like this ?” Yin said, with smile on his face.

Master Taku coughed few times, “It’s nothing continue, I’ll be back tomorrow we will be going somewhere.” He said and went out, quickly disappearing.

The three laughed, “Ah… No it’s nothing, it’s just that you are quite a freak… I advise you not to cultivate for next few days because, you might damage your meridians. You should rest, meanwhile we could get to know each other a bit.” Jacob and others spoke.

Yin smiled, he understood that he overdid it a bit, “Sure!” Yin said, “So where you guys from exactly?”

“I am from Dinder Empire, from Zurger martial family, we are quite new martial family with only three hundred years of history. Also I am a Martial artist.” Jacob spoke as he sat on his bad, smile on his face.

Yin nodded, with big smile on his face, his thick eyebrows looked quite funny. Dinder’s Empire is located at the utmost south east of the continent, it is considerably much warmer there, Yin wanted to visit it sometime.

“I am from Xung Empire, from Sangu martial family, there is not much to say about my martial family, as I am only the second generation. I am a Martial artist.” Zen spoke, quietly and calmly, he was not a man of words seemingly.

Yin, nodded, Xung empire is in the north east of the empire, it is extremely cold there as well, it is empire which is much bigger than Murumink Empire.

“I am from Xung Empire as well, but I am from Xian martial family, which  is few thousand years old, it’s quite famous between martial artists, we had few deviners in our family too, but they are rare.” Purk spoke with his low pitched voice, just like a mountain, smile on his face.

‘How are you water martial artists?’ Yin couldn’t help but start laughing.

“What ?” Purk asked looking at Yin and scratching his head looking at Yin then at Zen and Jakob.

Yin then spoke, “I am from Murumink Empire, not too far from here you could say, I don’t have family.” Yin said, with smile on his face not saying anything else.

Everyone nodded, “So why you guys decided to be ice martial artists?” Yin asked them.

Purk spoke first, “Well for me it’s because our family have always been water martial artists for long time, so it’s kind of become a tradition. I don’t mind being Ice Martial artist either, I think it’s pretty cool, the way I can make ice spikes on my body.” Purk said, and then ice spikes started appearing on his body.

When Yin saw this his eye’s bulged out, “Woah! Hey you gonna teach me, this right ? right? hehehe.” Yin said while laughing.

“This is quite easy! look all you need to do is…” Purk got into it explaining in detail, all complex Yin’s head started going dizzy.

“Got it?” Purk asked as he smiled.

Yin looked at him, “Ah! yeah, yeah of course! haha…” He laughed awkwardly. Even though Yin made some of his own techniques, but every single technique is extremely different from each other and works in different aspects. It was also close range technique while Yin only made mid and long range techniques. Also Yin was no genius either, he think’s fast, but he usually acts on instinct.

“How about you guys ?” Yin asked Jakob and Zen.

“We just like, ice in general that’s all…” Jakob said as he looked at Zen.

Yin nodded and then some question came to his mind, “Hey can you tell me what are those Olympians exactly?”

Everyone looked at each other, realizing that he hasn’t finished reading the book.

“It is quite simple, Olympians are those who have managed to breakthrough nine ranks of cultivation and achieve immortality. They cannot age, and their power is at the peak. I already told you the first three ranks, let me tell you another six. Fourth rank is Dantian Compression, In this rank one needs to compress his dantian, which gives one more explosive use of Qi. Rank five is dantian splitting, during this rank one needs to split his dantian in two, making two even smaller dantians, making so that if one dantian is destroyed you can recover because you have another one. Rank six is Qi solidifying, what happens during this stage is that you solidify your Qi increasing it’s volume and quality greatly. Rank seven is Dantian Enforcement, during which you make your dantians thicker, making one able to hold more Qi and harder to destroy. Rank Eight is Soul formation, during this stage your soul takes shape it usually takes a shape of the weapon you are wielding, It’s quite random actually. Rank Nine is world Mysteries no one quite knows what one means by that, there is just way too little Olympians, and they obviously doesn’t want to share their secrets. When Rank nine surpassed one becomes Olympian.” Jakob spoke non stop, he was excited talking about this, after all Olympians is someone of unimaginable power.

‘Amazing… To know that something like this actually exists… He never imagines of such things being possible.’

“My goal is to become Olympian and eliminate all the demons!” Jakob spoke passionately, even though he knew that his chances are less than one percent.

Yin looked at Jakob confused, “What demons?” He asked looking at Jakob seriously.

Purk, got angry as he smacked Yin on his head, “You fool you don’t even know what are demons! Why are you even trying to become strong! You fool!” Purk smacked Yin again in rage, but Zen and Jakob stopped him, “Purk, we live in the upper most corner of the world how do you expect him to know! he was just simple mortal a week ago too!” They calmed Purk down.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Sighing Zen spoke, “Demons are species who attacked humans half a million years ago. Because of this we almost went extinct, but because of couple of heroes we managed regain half of the world and so since then we are constantly in war, without anyone being able to get upper hand. Mostly because demons multiply faster than rabbits, because of their supreme number we are never able to get the upper hand. All humans hate them, because of them billions of billions people died, because of them humanity have never been able to live peacefully.”

“.....” Yiin went quiet for some time, as few tears fell from his eyes. “Demons?” he said quietly. ‘Demons have been constantly killing people, and I barely trained… What if the demons killed Akemi or Yuki, they killed innocent people! and for what! fuckers ! unforgivable… unforgivable! and I actually was looking at training that is something fun… When people were being killed because the strong couldn’t protect them! Unforgivable! This people thinking is unforgivable! I should have killed everyone who tries living good and safe life! bunch of cowards, when their are suppose to fight for humanity, they are only hiding, but they are still not happy!” Yin went into complete rage.

His eyes bloodshed, his veins popping out, his pupils shrunk, he looked extremely scary, lifting his head he spoke, “Demons? Demons…”

Yin got up picking up his heavy sword he started walking outside.

“Whoa what’s got into you?” Jakob spoke, but then Zen patted Jakob shaking his head, “He might have done something that he regrets a lot…” Zen spoke.

Going outside, Yin stood up, he didn’t feel any pain anymore, the mental pain he felt is nothing compared to physical pain.

“I must start training, seriously.” Yin said as he started swinging his sword, tears falling from his eyes.

“For every piece of trash that I didn’t kill I will swing my sword ten thousand times!” Yin spoke as he swung his sword. Physical training is always best when venting anger.

When they saw that Yin started swinging his sword, they couldn’t help but sigh, “This guy is really insane… But at least he got some motivation, I can’t imagine where he will go with this willpower…”

….

In a blink of an eye, next day came Yin was laying on the icy ground seemingly barely alive, suddenly light surrounded him, and two elderly men appeared in front of him.

Yin felt his body being recovered and his senses repairing, he slowly stood up, stretching a bit, he felt a lot more vented and relieved than yesterday, his eyes regained its normal look, ‘Aish I over did again, hahah I must have definitely went crazy from miserable life haha’ He laughed inwardly.

Yin bowed a bit, “Hello elders.”

One of the elders were Master Taku and the other was called Master Xu he was light deviner of high rank.

“This kid! Don’t you know how to properly train! You are only damaging your body! Aish!” Master Taku said as he looked at Yin.

Master Xu gave a laugh as he spoke, “Don’t be so angry, this give have great future, he only needs proper guidance!”

Yin laughed awkwardly as he scratched his head, not saying anything.

“Kid let’s go it’s time for you to fuse with a dragon spirit.” Master Taku spoke.

Hearing this Yin put on confused face, as he didn’t know what it was.

Seeing this elders couldn’t help but get confused as well, not understanding why Yin was confused.

“Kid why are you confused didn’t you read the book?” Master Taku spoke as he looked at Yin, one could see a vein popping out on his forehead.

Yin laughed awkwardly, “Well...haha”

Master Taku smacked Yin on the back of his head as he grabbed Yin’s hand, “Aish! let’s go I’ll explain on the way.”

The next moment they disappeared, in the air Master Taku spoke, “Kid, fusing with dragon spirit means gaining a special ability of the dragon which you are going to fuse with. Dragon spirits are genuine dragons who were once alive but due to unknown reason all of them died, since their soul is much superior to that of us humans they were able to escape eternal death. Before they died they managed to create temples all over the world, which connects to all of them via these temples they can choose who they want to fuse with. But they are unable to speak as their souls are too weak, they can only give the people they fuse with their special ability, which is usually special kind of attack, but they are extremely powerful, some better some worse but they all have their speciality. We can all fuse with dragon soul once we reach rank two, the soul surrounds our dantian, and then fuses with it. If you die the dragon once again goes back to his resting place waiting to fuse with another person, one could say that they are immortal in a way.”

Yin was completely astonished by these creatures called dragons, they must be beings above humans, if any of them can in a way escape death. ‘I wonder what kind of dragon will I be able to fuse with…’ Yin thought of this strange concept.

As they were gliding through the air, the cold was disappearing while warmth appearing, trees and animals could be seen, smell of flowers flourished as fields of them came into the view. Soon a forest appeared which was covered by a fog, absolutely indistinguishable five meters into it.

*whoosh* Yin and the two elders entered the forest piercing through the fog, soon the fog disappeared and a small temple appeared, the temple is seemingly made from marble. It had Dragons carved all over it, with small entrance to it, with a heptagram in the middle of it, with strange symbols all over it.

“We are here.” Master Taku spoke.
