Zao Ning wakes up and can feel his body ache all over. In his anger, Zao’s body went into kill mode and pushed itself to 100% for a long amount of time.

He didn’t even do anything either, this is the repercussions of using a Spirit Realm ability with a Mortal Realm body.

Uses his senses, Zao investigates to see if anyone is watching him at the moment. Sensing nothing, Zao’s mind goes into his cultivation veins and he starts to cultivate.

While the worm inside his veins wriggles around and absorbs Ki, Zao’s mind becomes focused on another task.

Using his concentration to the fullest, a small black dot of Darkness Ki forms within his cultivation veins. 

The dot begins rotating and spinning very quickly. The dot condenses more and more until it finally explodes.

It explodes into another worm that is black as the night. 

Still as anticlimactic as usual. I need to find a new technique soon.

Sighing and looking at the different colored worms in his veins, Zao has still yet to get over his complex for big names and cool things.

Zao begins nurturing the dark worm alongside the profound azure one. 

Now that I have begun cultivating Darkness Ki, I need to fuse them and train with the Ki to be able to use the Shadow’s Embrace.

*After several hours of cultivation*

Standing up, Zao takes off his robe and his rippling muscles are nipped by the cold air of the fall breeze. Closing his eyes, Zao Ning forces the Darkness worm into his cultivation veins. Zao Ning can instantly feel a familiar sense cover and rush through his body.

Having cultivated in 5 different elements and Darkness being one of them, Zao is very used to the cold feeling of darkness spread through his bones.

With a sharp look in his eye, the Darkness Ki around Zao begins to rush towards the boys skin and be absorbed into his muscles. 

A dark and ethereal character replaces Zao Ning and all that is shown from the dark cloud like being is a pair of azure eyes. 

While absorbing Lightning Ki makes me fast and my body to become much stronger, Darkness Ki is more malleable and using the Shadow's Embrace techniques, I can make a body out of Darkness Ki.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

After 30 seconds of sitting in his newest form, the darkness replacing Zao's body fades away and his true body returns. A smile is spread wide across his face.

Time to train the sword.

Pulling out his new sword, Zao circulates his Darkness Ki and sends it into the hilt of the sword. The darkness inside of the sword actually becomes darker when entering the enhancing metal of the sword. Bouncing it of the walls, the ball of Darkness Ki zooms out of the tip of the sword.

The second it reaches the area outside of the sword, the Darkness Ki explodes and Zao's vision is filled with the color black. 

Blinking a few times, Zao's vision does not return to normal and he then the dragon boy starts scratching his chin. 

Hmmmm, this is unexpected. Am I blind or is the room just as dark as night?

Opening his pores, Zao's body begins to viciously suck in Darkness Ki and soon, light is return to Zao's vision. He lets out a long and interested 'Ahhhhhhh' as Zao finally realizes what had happened. 

The Darkness Ki exploded when it was shoot out of the sword, making the Darkness in the room so thick that I can't even see through it... This will be very helpful for what I have planned.

When thinking about the plot of revenge that he planned last night, Zao's feels happy and excited at the same time. 

Looking down at himself, Zao Ning sees bright, glistening sweat cover his body and even his breathing is a little shaky from continuing to push his body.

Zao Ning decides to take a quick bath and then dresses himself afterwards. Walking out of the room, Zao immediately goes to his mother’s room to check on her.

Knocking on the door, Zao Ning hears no sounds coming from the other side of the room. Zao waits for a minute and then knocks again.

No answer.

Confused, Zao opens the door.

"I'm coming in mother."

No one answers Zao as when he looks around the room, it is empty and lifeless. This causes Zao's eyebrows to knit but he decides to not freak out yet and go find his mother.

Walking out of the room, Zao is able to catch one of Grand Elder Chi's servants walking by.

"Hey, where is the woman who is staying in this room?"

The servant is startled when he hears Zao's voice and turns around with a horrified expression.

"Y-Young master Zao! Miss Wei Ning is currently cultivating with her new master, Elder Mo."

Zao doesn't move a muscle for a second and then shakes his head back and forth.

"Maybe I didn't hear you correctly, what is my mother doing?"

"Miss Wei Ning is currently cultivating with her new master, Elder Mo."

Zao's expression is blank before it turns into anger. The anger quickly fades into mockery and ridicule.

That dumbass doesn't know what tail he is pulling. He thinks is messing with a simple cat, but little does this Elder Mo know that there is a dragon on the end of this tail!

Zao Ning roars in his head as an image of the weakling, Elder Mo, comes to his mind.

"Lead me to Elder Mo and my mother."

"B-but young master, Elder Mo said no one is to disturb him while he is teaching Miss Wei Ning!"

"Hahahaha."

Zao laughs coldly and walks up to the servant with a fake smile on his face. The aura of a beast washes over the servant's body.

"I don't think you have a choice, friend."

The servant whimpers as Zao Ning puts a strong and forceful hand on his shoulder. 

'Why me? WHY DID I WALK INTO THE SIGHT OF A MONSTER?!' the servant yells in his head as he begins to regret working for Grand Elder Chi.
