《Asura》Chapter 9-Reality or Illusion?
Advertisement
Xiaowei was sitting on his bed holding the egg. This was his room. He saw his knife on the computer table. His mirror stuck to the door. The window was right behind the computer. He notices two bright red eyes peeking out from the closet. They stared deep into Xiaowei’s soul.
Both their gazes penetrated each other. The red eyes were completely motionless. Xiaowei can feel that those red eyes can see him. Xiaowei doesn’t remember waking up from his dream. Is this still a dream? He questioned. If this was, then he should scream for his uncle. Xiaowei slowly moves his hand to his watch to call for his uncle.
The watch suddenly vanish when he touched it. No way, Xiaowei cried in his mind I know for a fact it was there a moment ago.
The red eye creature springs out from the closet both his claws ready to kill Xiaowei. Xiaowei dodged to the left side but his body was to slow and his right arm was scratch. Not a life threatening wound but still painful. Xiaowei screams out in pain but no sound came out.
“UNCLE MING” Xiaowei yelled but no sound came out. Xiaowei started to panic. Everything feels so real and he knows for a fact this is not the egg’s memories because there is no way it has been here before. Secondly this little beast can sense him.
It was a squirrel beast and it was the same size as our world squirrels and it was a tier 1 beast too. Tier one beast were already comparable to a Martial realm cultivator. Xiaowei who hasn’t even broke through from the martial body realm would stand no chance against it. He was only able to dodge it due to a squirrel beast's playful nature. To break through from martial body realm to cultivation realm require the user to start cultivating qi and Xiaowei has never even attempt that. It takes about a week for a person to open their first meridian point.

Xiaowei who only found out about his meridian point and got the cultivation book two days ago would not have enough time to even cultivate. Never mind open one meridian point. Opening a meridian point was equal to drilling a hole through a tree with a spoon, a very tedious task.
Xiaowei slowly sliding his legs while against the wall for his knife near the computer. His egg in one hand and a pair of eyes focused on the squirrel. He still remember the battle between the titans and it makes his blood boil anxiously just thinking about. Also if this was a dream then it was a battle with no consequences. He suddenly remembered to a certain time one year ago when he saw on the news that someone died in their dreams during a lucid dream therapy session. The therapist was later arrested because it was in the city when it happened. So the laws still apply to him.
The squirrel knew what he was trying to do and was amused by it. A child who doesn’t even have qi thinks he can pierce his body with a knife. This child is way too naïve he thought.
Xiaowei grabs the knife and held it forward against it. He may not have train in qi but his body was comparable to theirs. This knife was also special. His Uncle Ming an initial stage Heavens realm cultivator has imbued his qi into it. It cannot be sensed when it’s not held but once it’s held its energy will swallow the blade like a raging inferno.
The moment the squirrel sensed it he quickly attacked. It's claw went straight at Xiaowei’s face but Xiaowei quickly move his knife at it while dodging. This was all base on instinct. Xiaowei could only see a blur when the squirrel moved.

Xiaowei feeling that the egg was obstructing his movement he quickly toss the egg at his bed while dodging. The blade came into contact with the squirrel. The squirrel can feel it approaching and quickly hit the blade away and retreated. All this happened within a second.
Xiaowei held onto the blade with all his might. He lost his balance due to the squirrel and crashed on to the floor in a spiral movement. He felt like someone took a huge hammer and hit it at the side of the knife. His hand still trembled from the shockwave it produced.
His movements were still way to slow and the moment he crashed to the floor the squirrel already came to attack him. He saw a trajectory of the attack and swung his knife at it. For some strange reason even through Xiaowei’s movement was only half the speed of the squirrel the knife still manage to find its target.
The squirrel was now really pissed. A martial body cultivator was able to hold his own against him who was comparable to a martial realm cultivator. The hair on his back stood up. It arched it back backwards and launches itself into the air. This all happen within one second but Xiaowei was able to see every detail.
He then thrust forward his sword at the exact point where the squirrel was going to hit. The squirrel was not stupid. It knew how slow Xiaowei was and when he saw the knife he used it as a platform to bounce off from. Xiaowei seeing all this in milliseconds detail knew he can’t possible hit the squirrel even if he knew where it was going to hit. He decided to move the knife down. When the squirrel tried to launch himself of the knife it felt really weird and was only able to produce half its power.
Due to the sudden loss of power he didn’t manage to eat right through Xiaowei but his teeth still manage to bite deeply into Xiaowei’s shoulder. Xiaowei knowing he got bitten didn’t even feel pain. He directly moves the knife and lodged it directly into the squirrel’s body. The heaven realm ki made it extremely easy for the knife to pierce through a tier one beast's skin. Xiaowei didn’t think the knife would pass through the squirrel that easily and also ended up stabbed himself on the shoulder.
Xiaowei fell to the ground his body arched against the bed. He looked toward the mirror. He sees the knife lodged right through the squirrel and his shoulder. Blood spilled everywhere. His eyes were very peculiar too. It was blood red but his pupils were black devoid of even the slight hint of light. His pupils was also in a slit like a cat. Seconds after, his eyes return back to normal and Xiaowei thought it was just his imagination and fell back into deep slumber.
