The day before the start of the family tournament two kids could be seen traveling along the dirt road. The sun was rising from the east but farmers could be seen in their fields while merchant heading into the city.

The two kids stood out as the girl made some admire the beauty she will turn into in the future while the boy as he had silver hair and purple eyes. The two of them wore the simple clothing the girl wore a simple purple robe while the boy had red and black vest and pants on.

“Lucifer we finally returned after a full month.” Luna said as the city came into their sight.

“Yeah, yeah now let quickly send grandfather a message saying we returned.” Lucifer said while they walk along the path.

“You been away for a month and that all you can say.” Luna said with a hint of disappointment that only she was getting excited.

“In the future when we begin to travel we’re going to see bigger cities.” Lucifer said.

“You’re going to bring me along in the future.” Luna said with a smile.

“I was planning on it unless you disagree.” Lucifer said without thinking as it doesn’t matter if she does or not.

“"It's a promise and you can't break it.".” Luna said in a very serious voice.

“Ok.” Lucifer said.

They continued their walk until they arrived home, but upon arrival, they noticed a carriage out front. The carriage had a nine-headed hydra flag flying above it with a young man looking at them.

“We meet again, Lucifer.” The young man said in a friendly tone.

“Who are you?” Lucifer said as he couldn’t remember meeting before.

“Stay away from him he mine.” Luna grabs Lucifer and dragged him behind her.

‘I remember now he that creepy dude we met on the way to the forest.’ Lucifer thought while clapping his hand together.

“Lucifer this young John here want to take you to his clan for training.” Mike walked up to them in a friendly tone which also happens to throw Lucifer into a loop.

‘Why are you suddenly being friendly.’ Lucifer as long as he can remember his uncle would just look at him with disdain.

“I will pass on that.” Lucifer said without hesitation as he doubts John words.

‘Trash how dare rejects this offer but it a good thing we already set the plan in motion so doesn’t matter if you agree or not.’ Mike thought as he stood there.

“There no need to answer now how about you think about after the tournament.” Mike said with smile totally ignoring his answers.

“Yes, let wait I can afford to wait few more days.” John said before he went on his way.

“Grr- Who does he think he is.” Luna said in frustration as she hates John for trying to take Lucifer.

“Well, lets forget about them for now and let visit grandfather as we haven’t seen him in over a month.” Lucifer said dragging Luna.

“Lucifer you finally returned and how was your adventure.” Old Feng said looking at his grandson who he hasn’t seen in a week.

“Yep I returned and we made great progress as we made it to the late houtian realm.” Lucifer said sitting across from his grandfather and Luna by his side.

“Reaching late Houtian ream in about two months you two are genius of genius but I can’t worry that you guy progress is too fast.” Old Feng said

“We have very solid bases and our breakthrough we relied on ourselves with external resources. But enough about us why is the Hydra clan young master here.” Lucifer asks.

“The young master seems to have taken a likening to you for some reason and want to take you back to his clan.” Old Feng said. ”But I don’t know how he came to know about you.”

“We met him when we left to go train and he wanted to take Lucifer as his boyfriend.” Luna said causing Old Feng to look strange.

“Well let reject him on this matter but if he uses his clan forces were doomed.” Old Feng said puzzled on how to solve this.

“I don’t think he will use his clan as I think uncle Mike already made a deal with him.” Lucifer said thinking about how his uncle was acting differently.

“Why do you say that.” Old Feng ask since he been hearing reports about them two meeting quite a bit the last few days.

“When we just arrived back we ran into John Hydra and then few minute later Mike showed up. But his energy seems to be gathering at an unnatural rate which means he going to forcibly break into xiantian the next few days. The reason I mention this is the only way he could do this is if John gave him resources to do this so they might have something planned.” Lucifer said not sounding like an eight-year-old child but an ancient deity.

“What are the side effect of the way he breaking through.” Old Feng asks since he worried about his son.

“He will breakthrough but instead of having 500 more years instead he around 200-300 hundred before he dies, but also his chance of progression past early xiantian realm is so slim it zero percent.” Lucifer said causing Old Feng to frown.

“It looks like his greed to progress was too much.” Old Feng said but feel pity for his son bleak future. In order to cross the barrier into xiantian realm is so immensely difficult 98% human fall to breakthrough in their lifetime.

“But what worries me is the deal they made but all we can do is wait for them to make their move.” Lucifer said as his feeling of disaster drawing closer.

“Let me worry about that you two go back and rest as tomorrow the start of the tournament.” Old Feng said shoo them away.

After Lucifer and Luna left Old Feng sat there to look out the window as he felt disappointed in his son.

“I hope you can live with the consequence that you choose, Mike.” He said as he prepared for tomorrow.
