Martial techniques were also divided into different categories. These were defensive, offensive, support and movement. The most expensive were the defensive and movement skills, particularly because they directly increased one's chances of survival. Offensive skills were also quite expensive, these skills directly damaged one's opponent.Support martial techniques or skills were the cheapest or the most common. They were the kind that either fitted in none of the other three categories or were in more than one. In general, it was well known that the more uses a martial skill had, the less potent it was in one particular area.It was considered worthwhile for one to have at least three skills, which were specialized in one particular field, especially the one that had aspects from all the three. Of all the four types of skills, movement techniques were the rarest and the most difficult to comprehend. They required complex use of qi and a lot of technique to use.

In a private room, a person was seated on a lavish chair, behind that person stood a middle aged man.The person seated on the chair was wearing lavish robes, where as the man who was standing was dressed in simple robes.In front of the duo was the view of an arena. Inside the arena were shackled slaves, each going toward the wall choosing a weapon.The person seated in the chair was quite young. He was a teenager who had just entered youth.He sat there nervously, gazing at the vicious looking men below."Kai, are you sure they can't see us?" said the young man nervously."Young master, rest assured that they cannot see us. A formation had been placed above their heads, so all they would be able to see is a roof. Adding on to the fact that their cultivation had been sealed, I can guarantee that no harm can come to you." said Kai as he laughed.One look at the two and it was clear what kind of relationship they had. They were a serva

....Bastian was ripped. First the baldy and his companion had finished all of the available prey. Now the white haired freak had killed the giant's companion. This was bad.It was quite clear that the giant and his partner were at a higher tier than the rest; therefore Bastian figured he could replace quantity with quality. The giant was big and strong, while his companion was fast, accurate and agile. They complimented each other and covered up the other's weaknessBastian was positive that facing both of them would be quite the challenge, after seeing the massacre they had just done. Yet now one was dead, which significantly lowered the difficulty.At first Bastian was intimidated by the giant, but after seeing him in action those thoughts faded.Bastian knew he could easily defeat such a slow target, so his anger toward the white haired boy got serious.After pounding him into the ground and declaring his stance, Bastian looked at the wh

...Bastian was getting bored. His attempt at improving his reaction speed was becoming more and more pointless as time went on, because Tate's swings became slower and easier to predict.This was not only because the giant was tiring, but also because Bastian's eyes were adjusting. Thus when Bastian saw that Tate had stopped, he decided to put an end to this farce.Bastian's mind had finally returned to what could be said to be a good place but he was still not his usual self.Be it Bastian from Earth or Sebastian from the Sovereign Continent, both were very calm and hard to anger. They were very passive in terms of emotions and would never get enraged in the truest sense of the word.Now that the two personas had fused, they had changed each other. Bastian had come out on top over his far younger companion. Thus, it was more accurate to say that Bastian had devoured Sebastian. Either way, the new Bastian was different from both of his former pers

Kai and his Master were being led by guards through a passage, one that lead to the cells where the slaves were kept."Young master, I understand you're very happy with what has just happened, but please keep in mind that we should leave this building as soon as possible", said Kai with a grim look on his face."You have been rushing me this whole time, and yet you refuse to tell me why. You know I don't like being rushed Kai, especially during a meal", said the young man in a matter of fact tone as he walked.I thought blood and gore sickened you, yet you immediately demanded a meal after the fight.Kai shook his head as he realized he knew less about his Master than he had thought."Either way young master, we shouldn't dally here. I have important duties to which I must attend to at home", said Kai.The young man stopped and looked at Kai, disbelief plastered on his face."What duties?""They are duties that are too menial t
