The Feast

Tyson Cole had prepared a feast in honor of his sister's return from her long and no doubt arduous journey. The table was lined with exquisite treats of the highest quality. If it was expensive and it tasted good, then it would be found for sure if one searched on the long table.

This event was supposed to be a happy and cheerful one; Tyson had even hired musicians and bards to provide entertainment. While the entertainment was certainly performing, barely anyone in the room was entertained.

The reason for this tension was the table itself, or rather how it was arranged. On one side you had Kenshin, Bastian, V, Ben and Lang. On the other side you had Sula, Tyson, Vermalaen, Gareth and the young Eliza Cole, who previously masqueraded, as the Heavy Flash in the Elite Gladiator League against Bastian.

Ever since that match the young lady had been extremely angry. She could not make heads or tails of the events that had occurred during the fight. She clearly had the upper hand, and he was clearly only a fire mage. Just how was it that he had made her unconscious? This question had plagued Eliza's mind the entire time, making her unable to enjoy anything else.

She wanted to barge into Shasha's mansion and demand an explanation as to why she lost. She believed that Bastian must have cheated, because in her mind she was far stronger than him in her own mind. However Tyson refused to even hear her mention Bastian's name. So she had no place to vent her anger and was frustrated. She refused to speak to anyone and didn't come out of her room for the majority of the time. Tyson was happy that she was now out of her room and talking, except he had hoped that it would be Sula's return that would be the cause. Unfortunately this was only half the reason.

Bastian completely ignored the death stare being given to him by Eliza. As far as he was concerned she was merely a loser and a brat no less. As usual Bastian had no etiquette and ate like a voracious pig. So long as it looked good, he would reach for it and stuff himself.

How can he act like this in such a situation?

Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Tyson was embarrassed as well, but he could only look on. The person he intended to talk to was Bastian after all. Having witnessed Bastian's poor manners, Tyson wanted to avoid the scene created when Bastian spoke while eating.

Vermalaen was unhappy, due to the fact that Sula had almost lost her life under her watch. Her shame far outweighed her anger, mainly due to the fact that the assailant who had managed to get the better of her was a child. Nevertheless, it did not stop her from looking at V with rage. If looks could kill, Bastian, V and Kenshin would be dead a thousand times over.

Bastian had nearly killed Eliza, and V had nearly killed Sula, so you would expect either of these two to receive the most malice. The winner of this competition was neither but was Kenshin. Gareth's killing intent was so intense it was almost tangible. Any experienced cultivator could tell that this man wanted Kenshin dead.

Eliza wanted Bastian to answer her, Vermalaen was ashamed of the fact that she had been fooled by a child; however Gareth was the most infuriated. If one was to look at his face closely, they would find the rough outline of what seemed to be a foot. Only a fool would be unable to guess what happened.

Sula sat next to Tyson and merely observed the surroundings. She was still far too confused to have any sort of reaction. She constantly looked toward her brother with pleading eyes, hoping for him to do something, but all the high and mighty Tsyon Cole did was shrug his shoulders. Just thinking of the events that had occurred before they got to this position gave Tyson a massive headache.

...

Since their youth, the Inkume are trained in many aspects of combat to the highest possible degree, Qi detection being one of them. As she was about to kill Sula, V immediately felt waves of energy she had only ever felt once before. Energy belonging to a person who she thought had been kidnapped, or possibly worse.

No! It can't be!

As she heard Bastian's voice, her body shivered and the stone-cold V showed shock as her descended in his fiery brilliance. This would be the second time she would see this.

This is without a doubt Bastian's legacy! The Empyrean Equilibrium Void Shattering Fist!

As the young man with barely any hair on his head rose from the flames, he calmly flexed his muscles and laughed out loud.

"Mr. Cole, it looks like you now owe me a third favor! hahahaha!"

When legacies are used, the awakened blood within a cultivator will be at its most vigorous, the more powerful the bloodline, the more it expressed itself.

As Bastian stood, an aura of valor and majesty radiated from his body. Tyson was familiar with the boy, yet right now he seems much bigger and much stronger. The weaker cultivators were all fighting the urge to lower their heads and kneel.

This Bastian was just far too different from what Tyson had seen before. Even the warriors behind him, his personal guard who had been baptized by countless battles, were moved by Bastian's mere presence. His entrance, coupled with his aura, made it seem as if the god of war himself had descended. Even his cheerful voice carried with it a certain weight that made it somewhat difficult to refuse!

Author's Note: So I read a review in which a dude bashed TT. Normally I ignore such things or if there is something to learn from the review I learn. However this person stated that TT is a basic Wuxia. Calling TT a Wuxia is absolute nonsense, clearly showing that this person has no knowledge of Xuanhuan/Qihuan. Apparently my book is wish fulfilment, but last time I checked fantasy was wishing for something unreal was it not?

If you don't like Chinese novels then I suggest you stop reading this because this is what I based TT on. Also there is a reason for everything. Bastian being in the Sovereign Continent, his high karma, his intelligence, his odd character. Everything. Just read the story and you will find out that there is a much deeper story to this my friends. Thank you for reading thus far!

    As Bastian stood, an aura of valor and majesty radiated from his body. Tyson was familiar with the boy, yet right now he seems much bigger and much stronger. The weaker cultivators were all fighting the urge to lower their heads and kneel. V had faced the full brunt of this aura before, this she wasn't affected much, not to mention that as an Inkume her willpower was far beyond most warriors of her level.Tyson on the other hand was not familiar with this aura; however Tyson was a very experienced man. He knew a legacy when he saw one.This brat! There is no doubt that he has awakened a powerful bloodline! This is...Knowing full well what the requirements for awakening a bloodline were, Tyson couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he looked at Bastian.There is no way this boy is merely a vassal for a washed down master.

    Tyson had built an entire business empire within a short span of time. One of the reasons he had been able to do so was his discerning eye. From Bastian's mannerisms to his demeanor, he seemed nothing like a slave. On the contrary, he was quite noble.Bloodline Awakening.A Specialist.Either of these words could cause any ordinary cultivator to shudder. Just being a specialist alone was enough to catch Tyson's attention, but if the two phenomena were together it only meant one thing:A high class bloodline!It was very rare for an awakening to convert a cultivator into a specialist. And it only occurred if the bloodline itself was of the highest grade. Few men were privy to such information, and Tsyon was one of them.As Tyson gazed at Bastian's heterochromatic eyes, he shuddered as he thought of the background behind the youth. Thus, being the businessman he was, he was quick to adapt."On behalf of the Tyson household let me apol-"

Your hypothetical words have irritated me, so when you speak next tread carefully."It would not be a lie to say that Bastian was unaccustomed to threatening someone. However he would not shirk away from it of need be. And right now it was one of those times. A few moments ago he looked quite the fool, stuffing his face like a pig on death's row. And even earlier he was like a war god, bathed in an incredible energy and aura. Now he was back to his serious face, making everyone on Tyson's side swallow their spit.Tyson always believed that he was not an emotional man, to him this was a negotiation, nothing more nothing less, and as far as he was concerned there was no need to cave in, despite Bastian's seemingly frightening identity.After calming himself, Tyson's train of

    "Windy? Is that the best you can do?" Sula laughed as she looked down on Bastian in disdain. Bastian did not reply and simply smiled. The confidence in his eyes was something that could not escape Sula's eyes."You obviously have a plan... but whatever it is we will stop it, do not underestimate our-" Before Sula's could continue, she was interrupted by a panting servant who had barged into the room."Lady Sula! Master! I have something urgent to report!"Sula was clearly unhappy that she had been interrupted, and was about to reprimand the servant when Tyson's voice rang out: "Speak."Sula was displeased, but since her brother had interfered there was nothing she could do."Master, the winds outside... something strange is happening.""What? Be more specific!" demanded Sula."I am afraid I cannot describe it: it is best if you were to come and see this yourself!" The servant had a dire expression and was shaking all over. Beads of sw

    Within Tyson's office, stood the entirety of the Cole family, that included: Tyson himself, Vermalaen, Sula, Elisha and Gareth. These were the most important personnel in the family. Normally, Tyson would not involve the young Elisha in such matters but he felt that it was time for her to grow up.There were two matters up for discussion. One was the debacle with Bastian and co, and the other was the matter of what they were hiding underneath the house.After revealing what was below the household to Gareth and Elisha, Tyson called for silence in order to get his thoughts straight. Due to previous events he felt that his meticulously planned future was in jeopardy. Gareth was a vassal so he had no authority to question his Master's decisions. Although he was a bit disappointed that he was not told about what was underground, he believed in his heart that Tyson always had a plan.Elisha was more concerned about Bastian himself.

    It was finally the day for the final of the two star tournament of the Elite Gladiator League. Thousands appeared in the arena to see the battle between Yani City's finest warriors. It was a rare opportunity for both normal mortals and cultivators. More skilled cultivators could even use this as an opportunity to improve their own skills, so they watched these fights intently.Kenshin and Co were sitting comfortably in a VIP booth. Kenshin had already won the three star tournament, bringing the Shasha household quite a bit of money, allowing them to spend lavishly, not to mention that one of the participants in this final belonged to them.It must not be forgotten that these warriors or gladiators were still slaves at the end of the day and they had owners. The victory would not just belong to the warrior, but to his owners as well.Bastian was already sitting cross legged in the center of the arena, ready for battle.

    After a while, the tornado subsided. The crowd once again became silent because nothing had happened! Many had assumed that Bastian had initiated some attack, and was suppressing Maita within the dust storm, but the duo were still standing exactly where they were before. The only difference was their expressions. Especially Maita, his expression was downcast; the crowd had never seen him like this before.A never before seriousness appeared on his face as he gripped his spear tightly and got into a stance ready to attack. Bastian, although not as much as Maita, was serious, and took a stance with his body, jumping constantly on his toes.Everyone was curious as to what exactly had happened within the tornado, but no one knew...except for Kenshin.Bastian is insane!

    Support techniques were generally the most looked down upon, do to their poor performance in one particular field. Yet what Bastian had just used did not seem like a support technique. No, to the majority it seemed as if he had fused a defense, movement and attack martial technique perfectly. But the true veterans knew that this was not so.Tyson still remained upright as he saw the ongoing battle. He knew that for a support technique to be this strong considering Bastian's low cultivation, it meant one thing. The technique itself was powerful!"Argh!"Maita groaned in agony as he pulled his body for the impression he had made in the wall one limb at a time. He was an earth attribute warrior so the impact to the wall had not done much to him. What was really hurt was his pride.To end up in such a sorry state, due to a measly support technique... unforgivable.Maita narrowed his eyes as killing intent billowed from his body like lava from a volcano

    The streets of Yani City were abandoned for the city was under siege. The usual hustle and bustle of the markets, the shouting and cursing from the arena and the footsteps of civilians were now like ghosts of memories past.

The entire city had been safely evacuated to a large underground bunker by the Dwight family members.As the de facto leaders of the city, they had the ability to mobilise all city resources under them.

    Let's rewind time a bit to understand what was happening. All the bigshots of the Cole family and Shasha family had gathered together. Bastian had put together a plan, and they were getting told what to do."First is the southern wall. This will be the only defensive battle on our hands, so it makes sense to have most of our soldiers there. Vermaelen will take most of General Moto's soldiers and hold the wall for us. This job is probably the most simple yet most pivotal.The aquatic daemons will have to climb over the wall to have any chance, so all Vermaelen has to do is keep them away from the wall. If that's hard, then take care of them if they climb it."Vermalaen grunted in response. General Moto was uncomfortable handing her his troops, but he trusted Bastian so he nodded, giving his blessing."Both Sula and General Moto, select and take the most elite soldiers from both armies and make a second group. This group shall move in tandem with Tino

    Every ten or so years Yani City would accept a new batch of mercenaries within their city. The unsuspecting mercenaries usually came from far away lands, so they had no clue regarding the tragedies that would befall them from the horde. On the Sovereign Continent, wars were as numerous as the stars in the night sky.Plenty of cities and countries would rely on mercenaries to deal with the problems that plagued the, with Yani city being no exception. The difference between the weak and strong however became apparent at this point, with the strong cites having strong home grown armies.Onismo York stood above a pile of daemon corpses.These were some of the birds that had made it over the wall.

    Kitrid started breaking into a cold sweat, because Meera's point was quite valid. Best way to deal with a horde this size is to deal with the alpha. The problem was that in this case the alpha might be too strong for them to handle, so Kitrid was not sure how they were going to go about it."What is taking Tyson so long? The support he promised should be here by now" Kitrid was fighting on the east wall facing the south east direction from which the horde was coming from. Due to the fact that his troops faced the full brunt of the horde, the elder council had promised support. Tyson Cole represented the elders by giving his word that he would send reinforcement if they were in dire straits.At the moment they had lost thousands of men. Thousands more were injured and even more were to fall in battle if this were to continue. The birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground formed a perfect combination minimizing all the advantages Kitrid and his troops had.

Soon the plan would be put into action, and Bastian's mind had been racing. Several gardeners were tending to the maize of stunning flora. His clothes were fine and comfortable, provided by Tyson Cole while Bastian had been living under his house to prepare for the ensuing battle that was to come. His hair was growing again, in fact he found it grew quite quickly, but Bastian had become accustomed to keeping it short.He had been taking walks in Tyson Cole's garden more frequently in the past few days, choosing to seclude himself in meditative isolation as much as he possibly could, and he knew why.

All the uncertainty seemed to fade away. Now his mind was clear, except for one thought. It was of her. He imagined her waiting for him in the city after the battle, and held on tight to the memory. They were getting closer now. Large, herbivorous behemoths with three large horns arranged in a triangle; two on its head and one on at the tip of its snout. They shook the earth as they knocked down anything in their way. If they got through then the city would definitely fall.Suddenly something heavy came down on him. He hadn't expected it.

    Yani city itself was situated on a large desert island. the island itself was about the size of a small country. The daemon horde usually came from the far south east region of the island where there was a vast jungle that had not yet been consumed by the desert. While the inhabitants of the city could leave whenever they wanted, the island happened to be rich in one thing: minerals, and lots of them. This is what had drawn humans to the island and forced them to stay. Now the city was thriving and it was too late to turn back.As Kit scanned the horizon all he could see was sand and trees until the point where the sky touched the ground. But there was no doubt about it, the horde was coming. He turned around on Valo, to face his men."Listen." He said, calmly. His voice was loud and clear, and as the archers on top of the walls were all cultivators he knew he didn't have to speak very loud for them to hear him.

    Kit took a deep breath. His heart was racing, but his mind was surprisingly clear. Maybe he just couldn't hear himself think against the blaring noise of the sirens of Yani city warning them all of what was coming, a constant reminder of the impending doom in Kit's ears.His uniform was new, or it may have been Kit had never seen actual battle, which did little to inspire his men's faith in him. He led a band of mercenaries that had been hired by the elders of the city about ten years earlier for this very purpose. It was less a band and more like a small army and for ten years they had known the horde was coming. They had talked about this day, trained for it, and waited for it for ten years. Now the day had arrived and the city expected to get its money's worth.It was obvious that the past ten years had been all talk for most of the mercenaries belonging to the avenging shield mercenary group. They wore light black leather uniform. Kit, their commander,
