"How in the world, am I suppose to do this?" Lee rose up angrily, he hadn't, ever since he began training tried to cultivate his body, so it was quite annoying.
"Bang!" " Bang!"
Lee out of frustration, began to strike the surface of a tree nearby, he badly wanted to abate his anger.
It didn't take much breath, before he stopped striking the tree, as his knuckles had become red and sore, Lee breathed out, and poured out the last bit of anger in him.
"..." Lee's gaze suddenly fell on the spot where he had brutally punched, and then an expression of shock filled his face, on the surface of the tree were faint cracks which didn't seem quite impressive, but to Lee it was a great achievement!
"How is this possible, with the strength i possess, i shouldn't be able to do that, But now...could it be that the exercise of trying to lift the hammers that I just practiced shortly, have yielded such fast effect" at the thought of this Lee felt his head spin.
Was it so easy to cultivate one's body and get an increase in strength, just as quick as that. He knew it was very arduous, Light wolf clan, had to spend years in nourishing and cultivating their bodies, before they could dare inject the blood of a mystical beast in their bodies.
Though a tree didn't weigh much, not more than 200 Pims, which a second stage spiritual refinement mystical blood injector, could easily crush, but for Lee to do a little damage as a swordsman, his strength was taking a new turn.
"Could it be I have a body constitution that work well with body cultivation, if it is so then. All Master Yang said should be entirety true!" Lee thought out loud in excitement. If he could train his body and then practice his sword at the same time, his strength would be unrivalled among those in the same level as him.
"Ohh you hammers, your master is coming to get you!!" Lee stared at the hammers with delight in his eyes, his former frustration had now completely turn to ecstasy.
*************
"Where in the world did they come from, tell me?" In the Grand Hall of Wateredge clan, the whole elders and Skyfire had gathered for a impromptu close door meeting, the usually calm Skyfire, could be seen seated on the seat of the clan head with uneasiness on his face. The whole of the elders who had also gathered around him, didn't have welcoming expressions on their faces.
"Clan head, from the information we gathered they seem to have a bit of connection with the Lilybroon Lynx clan that Master Yang comes from!" said an elder who seemed more refined and ancient among the other elders. He sat pretty close to Skyfire, with a strong aura of authority around him.
"First elder, if what you are saying is valid, then this wouldn't be good at all!" Skyfire said has he pressed his eyebrows.
"Is that all you have gathered?" requested Skyfire.
"No Clan head, Elder James!" the refined old man; the first elder, suddenly gazed at an elder at the corner of the hall.
"Clan head!" The one referred to as Elder James speedily bowed, and then proceeded to the reason why he was called.
"Feiryboulder the clan head of the new clan that had just newly arrived at Vine city. According to the information we gathered, this Feiryboulder is said to have been a member of Lilybroon lynx clan, but he wasn't core member, so he doesn't possess their bloodline"
On hearing this, a ring of sighs filled the hall, if somebody with bloodline should arrive at Vine city, then a lot of things would change!
"Though he doesn't possess their bloodline, he was gifted some drops of essence blood"
"We shouldn't bother much, the pureness of the essence blood is extremely weak, but all the same it can still be compared to the blood of a rank six mystical beast"
The eyes of the whole elders and Skyfire almost popped out. Drops of essence blood!
Though it wasn't as formidable as the pure bloodline flowing in those born with it, if compared to the normal blood gotten from mystical beast...it was like heaven and earth!
"What did he do?" Skyfire couldn't help but ask, with how overbearing and arrogant bloodline clans can be, to gift out their essence blood...it was quite unheard of.
Unless one had done something so great, you shouldn't dream of such.
"We weren't able to find out, it is a clandestine information that the Lilybroon lynx clan seem to protect, I'm sorry we couldn't get that" Elder James said, and proceeded to bow in apology.
"Don't bother, there seem to be a reason for Feiryboulder coming to Vine city, that's what I want you to investigate"
"Yes, Clan head" Elder James uttered and then sat back.
"In just few days, this so called new clan, have gathered a force almost comparable to us, and he is simply using the name and blood of Lilybroon lynx clan to gather elites in Vine city, if this continues very soon we would have another new organization struggling with the rest of us in control of Vine city" Said Skyfire with a serious expression on his face.
"This wouldn't be good for any of us, even the mayor seems helpless, we can't take any action for now, targeting them would be very bad for us, we have so many enemies, that would do anything to see us destroyed. So we have to lay low and watch how the others react to the situation, I'm i clear"
"Yes, Clan head" chorused the whole of them, except from one twisted face who didn't seem to agree.
"I have a suggestion, Clan head Skyfire" suddenly a coarse voice rang out in the hall, and everyone turned to stare at the one who have spoken, on seeing the face they shook their heads helplessly.
"Elder Chu what do you have to say!" Skyfire asked with a slight frown on his face, everything about this Chu was trouble.
"Clan head Skyfire, pardon me, but I disagree with you" Elder Chu with no emotion of any sort on his face said. This made his words feel blank!"Ohh" Echoes of shock filled the hall, the elders stared at Elder chu in amazement .....such boldness!"Do you have a better one!" Skyfire pursued his lips into a thin line, he questioned Elder Chu as patient as he could be."I don't mean to be rude, but I think your plan is a bit defective. It is visible to each and every of us that this clan though are increasing in strength each day, but compared to our clan their power is infinitesimal"Everyone nodded in agreement, essence blood couldn't even cover this gap, a clan like Wateredge which had existed for decades would have gathered more force compared to a clan which was just beginning to rise.
"Father, Clan head Skyfire, it is not of my wish to disrupt this meeting, it is of importance that I deliver this message to you" said the young man referred to as Dragonbone."Hmmph, i hope it is worth it" First elder with a deep frown on his face uttered."Darkneedle, the personal guard of the mayor, came here to inform you, Clan head that the mayor seeks your attention" Dragonbone still with his head bowed said."Oh, the mayor, hmm it's worth you coming here" Lee's father said while he gently rubbed his chin."You, can leave now" First elder with a relaxed expression
"Weakling you just called me?" Skyfire slowly walked in, with the gait of a leader. On his face was a slight smile which held in it mockery."Yeah, so, isn't that what you are" Bloodwolf stared at Skyfire with no sort of expression on his face."Ohh, I see. If I remember well, the last time we fought, you didn't..." Skyfire pressed his eyebrows, and drew his lips into a thin line, his face had a hidden mockery in it. But before he could complete his words, Bloodwolf cut him shut."Must you always bring that up?!" Bloodwolf pointed his fingers towards Skyfire with his face red hot with anger."Hey, let me know what happened, did you trash this old bastard" Saber Ghoul on hearing Skyfire's words, rose up from his seat and stared interestingly at the both."
"For a while, I walked in immediately after those lofty clan heads left, and I appreciate greatly all that this brute had said" The man who had suddenly appeared said as he smiled venomously."Fieryboulder, he was just been careful" The mayor hurriedly said, he didn't want himself or Darkneedle to appear on the wrong side of this man."I actually don't care, for now I will act like a dove, but be careful to watch your back, cause immediately I achieve what I am here for. Haha, you would be in for some mess" Fieryboulder uttered and raised his eyebrows mockingly. To a man with the heart of a boulder like his, his threats were never mere!"You know what am here for?"Fieryboulder said he signalled with his hands towards the mayor.<
A breakthrough! at this moment!Lee was shocked stiff, though he wasn't entirely sure, he could only relate the strange energy building up in his body as a means of breakthrough.As he continued to absorb the mystical core the strange energy began to grow. Lee gently began to direct the energy from the mystical core to force open his unopened spiritual path, like this, all the energy began to slam on the barrier in the spiritual paths.The barrier in the spiritual paths which in the past few weeks had been constantly hammered by the energy from the mystical core, had lost some of its resistance.The protracted action didn't seem to affect the serene Lee who just sat gently on rock. 
"I have no idea where I have struck with this luck?. Or could it be as a result of the body cultivation I went through" Lee couldn't help but wonder. That was the only only reasonable thing he could think of."That's not possible, even though I have a somewhat strange body that is attuned to body cultivation which is baffling, it no way can produce this type of terrific entity" Lee thought and couldn't help but mock himself for such unreasonable thought. "Probably it is linked to the totem space".Lee scanned through this thought in less than a breath, and it was then that the huge silver drop prepared for a clash!" Roar!"Like the roar of thunder, the silver energy drop sounded out and lightning-quick sped towards the barrier.
Lee with an expressionless face walked out of his house, he had not met his father, which he had not been expecting in the first instance, but he got to know from a guard that he was attending some pretty important meetings . But he wasn't bothered, there were sometimes he would spend months without seeing his father.Lee smiled as he rubbed the little silky furred head of Azure who hasn't still grown much in size, but in strength he was becoming terrific as days passed!It had also been training; killing some mystical beast, which to Azure was the best method to strengthen itself."Young master Lee it has been a long time since we saw you!" A small group of lads who admired the latter, excitedly gushed towards Lee on seeing him. Lee in response gave a slight smile and walked pass them, though Lee didn't pay them much of an attention, but to the callants it was more than enough to make them go wild!Such scenes continued as
"It's those bastards from the branch of Lilybroon lynx clan, I and Brother Springdove were shopping for some artifacts when they surrounded and demanded for a spar" Fred with hurt and anger poured out."Spar!" Lee muttered under his breath, as the dots in his mind began to cross."Regarding Springdove's temperament, he wouldn't want to fight""Yes Young master Lee, Brother Springdove rejected but those good for nothing didn't accept" Fred clenched his fist, twisting his face with glints of anger flashing across his eyes."I was only able to escape because they had no need of me, their target was Brother Springdove!"Lee in split seconds could already understand what happened, Springdove rejected and then.....
"Fellow cultivator I'm Iron Fist" The human giant said as he bowed slightly."I'm Blue. I hope you take it easy on me" Lee said as he also bowed. It was easy for him to defeat the duo because they weren't too strong, not as Youngblood who even could have also defeated them, the man's speed was quite enough.The duo had already left the platform, as for the cultivator with daggers, after been hit by such attack, It wasn't surprising that he passed out."Hmmph!" The human giant only snorted and didn't say anything more, he slammed his gauntlet covered fist together, which disrupted the air a bit, the message was simple, he didn't talk much his fist did the talking!"I think this is the end for this lad!""It's the end. Iron Fist is a usual in the top 16, he isn't going to lose this match!""I place my bet on Iron Fist!"Several voices rang out among the crowd, they seemed to have envisioned Lee crawling out of the platform.Lee took on a battle stance, Iron Fist who had unleashed his my
"I admit defeat!" With despondency in his voice, Youngblood yelled out.Gasps of shock filled the Arena, the duration of time Lee used to defeat the latter was pretty short, it was less than twenty breaths, the others in stage had shock flash across their eyes."Such a lad!""I place my bet on him!"The crowd began to cheer, as to them a new source of money had appeared, it was in this same breath that another scream of pain filled the air."I admit defeat!!" This latter didn't yell with sadness, but pains, his face was badly battered, his garments were drenched with blood, he looked more like a rag doll.When Lee stared at the cultivator who did it, he was no longer shock at the state of the wounded man.The man was a human giant, he was more than burly, each of his arms were like twice of Lee's thighs, he wore gauntlets that were shining like as though light was reflected on it.From what Lee could see the man was a brute, his aura and presence was very intimidating, he hailed the c
"Boom!""Boom!"In few seconds Lee and Youngblood had exchanged several blows, and with every clash, Lee seemed to have the upper hand, Youngblood was beyond shocked he couldn't understand how he a mystical blood injector is been suppressed by a Essence swordsman in body strength!"Boom!"Lee hacked Blueflame towards Youngblood's head who immediately blocked with his heavy sword, the power behind the attack sent him taken several steps backwards."I don't know how you manage to posses such demonic strength, but I tell you I'm going to end this child's play right now" Youngblood snorted. He clenched his fists hard, mustering all the mystical blood power he could handle, the lightning dancing through his eyes doubled, a faint cry of a bird rang out from his throat, his aura had become extremely domineering, he was planning to go all out. It sounds long but all of it happened in few breaths"It's a Lightning Crow mystical blood he absorbed!" Lee muttered slightly under his breath, this b
Lee stared at the wooden token on his hands, and he couldn't help but grin, it was slowly getting closer to the matches, the token was quite similar to the one given to him in the Raging storm palace, it was inscribed with the number '22', the first set of battles that were coordinated in the Arena of heroes were in form of a battle royale, they went in, in groups of varying numbers depending on the amount of participants for each cultivation stage.No matter the amount of participants, the number of groups would not exceed sixteen, but in rare cases could only be lower.For the stage which Lee had registered for which was the fourth stage, they were to go in a group of eight, so this eight would engage in a battle royale, were only one person was needed, so in a group only one winner was needed....…"Citizens of Vine city, another edition of battles is about to occur in the Arena of Heroes, are you excited?!"A very sonorous and energy filled voice rang out throughout the stadium, L
Lee remained motionless for several breaths, the sudden change of events, and the realization that he would have ran mad if his sword totem didn't interfere gave him goosebumps, his robe was wet from sweat as though a bucket of water had been poured on him."If my sword totem hadn't interfered, that is how my mind would have been thrown in chaos, whoever created this is crazy, I bought with my hands what could have almost killed me" Lee couldn't help but shake his head, a part of him was wishing he had let the dark skinned man buy the art."I wasn't traumatized for nothing, at least I ended up creating mental energy" Lee grinned like a Cheshire cat, Lee immediately opened the box containing the needles, he was anxious to test how mental energy worked, he closed his eyes and directed his consciousness towards the mental space which resided in his forehead same as his dantian.Lee wrapped his mind around the floating milky white mental energy ball, it was the first form of mental energy
Lee could be seen seated in a lotus position on a bed in a small room that had only a wooden table and chair, this didn't look like the proper room of Lee in his father's residence. It was with no doubt not Lee's room, after Lee had accepted the Dragon call needles, he had wanted to start cultivating the art, but courtesy demanded him not to, with him not able to fulfill this wish he decided to lose himself in his thoughts and that was what he did till the auction ended, he didn't even know what the main item was, he speedily left the palace and searched around for an inn where he could rent and cultivate the art, it didn't take long before he found one. Lee brought out the scroll and needles from his storage ring, he unfolded the scroll and began to read through the content, it took a while before he digested everything. Lee could not help but shake his head, no wonder cultivators ran mad, you had to place your mind under some certain amount of pressure, it was like placing an heav
The auctioneer smiled upon hearing this, one gold coin wasn't small in any manner, the Fire Limg seed though was rare, but in normal circumstances it shouldn't be sold at such rate, to be able to sell at this rate was a great bonus to her company."Anyone increasing the price?!" The pretty auctioneer said has she increased the loudness of her voice."I guess I have to give up, who knew you desperately wanted the seed" The cultivator in box '20' said with a hint of jeer in his voice.Song Chu's face suddenly became pale, he squeezed his fist tight as anger began to roar in him. He had been played badly, the cultivator didn't have any interest in the seed, he had intentionally dragged with him to increase the price, and then back off when the price had reached an outrageous point, and it worked perfectly, now he had no more chance of struggling with the others for the main material of the day."That bastard, i need to find out who he his, no matter who he is I must make sure I cause tro
The first thing that caught his attention was the open space in front of the box, which represented some sort of window and view for the auction.Lee sat on the wooden seat prepared and stared at the stool beside him that had a wine on it. Lee shook his head, he wasn't quite interested, he had his mind focused on the materials that would showcase in the auction.In few minutes the auction room was already filled to the brim, the most conspicuous sight was the wooden boxes that stood in the auction room, a lot of gazes were directed towards them. Although those in the boxes didn't signify the strongest, it was some sort of means of flaunting your wealth, though not everyone had this intention, some people are so particular of their identities, like Lee is.The air suddenly became relaxed and perverted as the attention of most of the males in the auction was directed towards the platform at their front.A pretty young lady suddenly appeared on the platform. She had fiery red hair with a
The Gathering Point of Vine city, wasn't only comprised of people a group together, there are some certain sights that allured people towards the Gathering point. One of it being the sumptuous building of Raging Storm Palace.A pretty colossal building that was shaped like a rectangle with a hole in the midpoint. There was a circular gap at the centre of the building, leaving an open diameter of space at the top of it, which was covered with long unique iron bars forged by blacksmiths with high class.The Raging Storm Palace was a foreign settlement, that came to Vine city to sell artifacts, pills, weapons and sometimes even some rare mystical beasts. Auctions are only done in Raging Storm Palace when some queer or powerful materials are found, such was what was happening today.Lee was like a grain lost in the sea of humans, that treaded towards Raging Storm Palace
