The heat wave ki forced the golden light to become even brighter. Those looking at the building from a distance felt a horrifying force as golden light shined out of the building.
Even as the palm shined brighter it began to be pushed back by the heat wave ki. “Grr!” Raja Kint growled as he let loose his strongest attack. With the release of such an attack as a heat wave nobody knew that his ki was green. On his knuckles was blood pouring forth from the force of his attack. Showing that his powerful body couldn’t even handle the true power of such a technique.
“LOSE!” screeched the woman. Her hair violently flew about from the sporadic ki. Veins wriggling on her forehead. She looked like an angered goddess of war.
Those outside the building, sensing such a great clash were shocked. Everyone knew there was only one person who made it inside. Not far away were the seniors from the different sects. All of them could clearly differentiate the strength of the two clashing. And were surprised at the magnitude Raja Kint reached.
One of the men turned toward King Kint, “It seems a genius has appeared from your land.”
Another spoke up, “Indeed, it seems to be the Kint Sect’s time to rise.”
King Kint thanked them for their praise. Inwardly, he didn’t take any of it to heart. None of this mattered if the boy wasn’t chosen for some reason.
Inside the building, those who could somewhat see noticed a shift. The heat wave ki caused a minute crack in the golden palm. This was enough for the battle to be decided.
Once a crack has appeared. It won’t be long for the attack to fall.
Not even a breath later the golden palm had vicious-looking, light golden cracks running about. A single line of blood ran down the woman’s lip to her chin.
“Boom!”
The golden palm dissipated as Raja Kint’s attack pressed forth. Once his attack reached her it didn’t do much besides lightly blow her hair. Raja Kint could only halfheartedly chuckle at the sight. He stood up straight. His right fist dripping blood.
“It seems you can’t do much else,” said the woman.
“I’ve said before that you don’t know me.” Raja Kint began walking forward. He truly did expend himself to the limit. But, he still had his body to rely on. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be standing and his hand might be bloody red paste on the ground.
The woman narrowed her eyes, “To think I trained so hard to overcome my weaknesses. And yet I meet a young boy who can match me.”
When those in the building heard her words. They were shocked. What did overcoming weaknesses mean? The glaring weakness was after her golden palm attack. But, could she really continue fighting?
She took a step forward, “Let’s see whose body is stronger.”
Raja Kint felt inwardly shaken. She can seriously still fight after such an attack. Damn. Raja Kint’s voice became slightly cold, “You could’ve stopped the battle already. Don’t blame me for what happens.”
The woman froze for a moment. Isn’t this boy raised in a sect? Why does he give me such a chill? “Hmph, talk big after the fight.”
The two darted forward. Raja Kint threw a left punch. She blocked the punch and threw her own left. Raja Kint dodged the punch as the woman chased. Raja Kint repeatedly attempted to find openings. Only to come up short because his right hand was out of commission.
The woman knitted her brows in confusion. Raja Kint’s face was calm as if everything was within his expectations. This caused her to feel nervous.
Raja Kint closely watched her movements. Looking for the slightest of weaknesses to take advantage of. It seems her body isn’t actually all that strong. It’s more so that she reserved some ki to keep her fighting ability. If that’s the case then this is over.
The woman sent a left fist toward Raja Kint’s head. He stepped into the punch. Causing her fist to fall on his forehead.
“Ahh!” screamed the woman in pain.
Raja Kint extended his left hand. The woman dodged only to see the hand merely change directions. At the moment of changing directions Raja Kint sped up. The woman was caught by surprise. Unable to move in time Raja Kint’s hand clasped her left arm.
He yanked her toward himself and they butted heads. “Ow,” wailed the woman in pain. She attempted to free herself to no avail. Yank! The woman fought to stay conscious after the second headbutt. How is his body so strong? Is he also a body cultivator?

Yank! In fear the woman hurriedly said, “Quit… I quit.”
Raja Kint moved out of the way as she fell to the ground. Raja Kint also fell to the ground. His chest heaving up and down. The array was deactivated as everyone in the building was shocked. People rushed to the red-haired woman’s side. Feeding her pills, helping her to circulate her ki.
Raja Kint took out some pills and swallowed them. He then took out some green paste and applied it to his right hand. He heard someone approaching him. He looked over to see the short man with two pouches.
“These are your rewards. And since someone wanted to make a deal.” The man glared in a direction. The woman who made the deal looked away. The man looked back at Raja Kint. “You can take one item away."
Raja Kint stayed silent. What item could I possibly want? I have a spear, array techniques for attack and defense. I have an offensive martial technique. Raja Kint’s eyes widened, “Do you have something for defense?”
The short man nodded his head.
“Something to block a blow from a peak outer ki realm or at least a limbo realm?”
The short man became angered and looked at the woman. This time she was looking down at her shoes. Dusting them off.
“I’ll grab you something. Do remember not to come take revenge. You or your sect mates.”
Raja Kint nodded his head. Seeing that the man sighed in relief. He went off gathering a few people. At this moment someone opened the front door. On the bottom step stood the yellow-clothed boy. Raja Kint walked to a corner and focused on recovering.
By the time the man returned. The yellow-clothed boy was ready to fight. Raja Kint was circulating ki within his body again and his right fist already felt better. He truly felt grateful for the quality products the man provided.
The short man with a few others stopped in front of Raja Kint. They displayed four items.
The short man said, “Each of these items can take a blow from a limbo realm.”
Raja Kint picked the item farthest to the right. The yellow-clothed boy looked over.
“How do I get an item too?” asked the yellow-clothed boy sincerely.
The short man glared at the boy. “You can’t.”
The yellow-clothed boy looked at the items and then Raja Kint before getting up. “I’m ready so let’s go.”
Raja Kint was still focused on the first item. It seemed to be a hard plate. Possibly a piece of armor. He sat it down and checked the second item. This was a piece of cloth which confused him.
“This item can restrain a limbo realm. We aren’t sure how long.”
Raja Kint nodded his head. He played around with the cloth a bit. It was silky smooth and felt nice against the skin. Placing the cloth down he picked up the third item. It was an abnormal turtle shell. It seemed that somebody used this turtle shell to refine a defensive item.
Raja Kint checked it out a bit longer. He then picked up the fourth item. It was a clay bowl. Raja Kint looked up at the short man.
“Heh, we only know that this item can take a limbo realm’s attack.”
Raja Kint ran his fingers through the bowl. He remembered his mother also had a simple bowl. Yet it could hold things inside for her to do as she wished. Raja Kint scrutinized the bowl more closely. Could this operate in a similar way?
Raja Kint attempted to pour ki into the bowl. Nothing happened. Can this really just be a normal bowl?
He placed the bowl down and picked up the cloth. He inserted ki into the cloth and it began floating. He sent the cloth forward and it wrapped a random person up.
“Hey, let me go,” said the girl.
Raja Kint watched as she tried to wriggle free. He let her go and used the cloth on the short man. The man attempted to break free to no avail.
He explained, “It’s like trying to fight against a cushion.”
Raja Kint sent the cloth to the clay bowl and squeezed. Nothing still happened. He sighed as he held the cloth. Wait, could it need a law?
“Where was this clay bowl found?”
Another man responded, “It’s changed many hands. The origin is unknown.”
Raja Kint placed the cloth down and grabbed the bowl. He focused on earth law and sent it into the bowl. Suddenly he felt a connection and inserted his ki. He directed the bowl toward some fruit lying around.
“Swoop.”
Raja Kint’s eyes widened as the fruit shrank entering the bowl. Those watching were also surprised.
“How did you...” asked the short man with wide eyes.
Raja Kint focused and the fruit flew out into his hand. He took a bite of the fruit. The sweet juices causing him to smile. “It seems I’m fated with this bowl.”
The short man wryly chuckled. “Indeed. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
Raja Kint put the clay bowl into his pouch. He stood up, looking toward the fight. It seemed that the yellow-clothed boy would win. Not surprising him. From what Kyoot Kint said they were ambushed.
“Are you coming back?” asked the woman who made the deal.
Raja Kint shook his head sideways. He only cared about helping Kyoot Kint anyhow. The short man scowled as he began berating her. Raja Kint took another bite of the fruit as he stepped outside. The sky was already dark. The moon shining its light upon the world.
Raja Kint smiled, it was in these dark moments that the moon outshined the other stars.
