The next morning Xiaowei went to Uncle Lin’s office and Uncle Ming was there too. They both sat in a floating chair looking at Xiaowei.

“Xiaowei come take a seat” directed Lin.

Lin sat down and was looking around very anxiously. His eyes wondered all over the place. He doesn’t know what they wanted to talk about. Is it the tier 1 beast? Are they going to ask about his companion?

“Xiaowei calm down you are not in trouble” said Uncle Lin noticing how anxious he was, “It is regarding what your father left behind for you.”

“My father?” questions Xiaowei.

“Yes. Before your father left for battle he gave your uncle Ming a very special necklace.” He held up a necklace for Xiaowei to see. At the end is a black metal triangle. The center of the triangle was empty. The outer skin looks as smooth as a baby’s bottom and the light reflecting of off it was like a mirror. The middle was a thin layer of glass.

“Your father told me to give this to you when you enter the first stage of the cultivation realm,” Uncle Ming said, “The day you were born the Asura crashed into Eragoon forest. Your father knew he was going to be deployed but due to your birth he was able to delay it for three days before he left. Your mother who loves your father very much also left with him. She couldn’t bear to leave him alone to fight such a monster. Before your father left he came to me. He gave me three things.

This triangle necklace, this beast cube, and a box he said that only you can open. He also left me two instructions. One for if he survives and one for if he dies. If he survives we should act like none of this happen. If he dies he wants me to raise you the best I can and gives these to you when you reach the first stage of the cultivation realm.”

After Ming finished Uncle Lin tosses the necklace to Xiaowei. Xiaowei caught it on reflex.

“Your dad told me that the only wait to activate it is to focus your qi into it. Apparently it’s a DNA qi lock. Only the intended person can view the inside. Even if someone of the Ancestor realm strength cannot break the laws set by this item” explain

Uncle Ming. He tried to forcefully open it one time before but the defense system activated forcing Ming to sustain an injury that cause him to stay in bed for a week.

“Ok,” Xiaowei answers and lets his qi flow freely into the necklace. The necklace released a slight yellow glow that invaded Xiaowei’s mind.

Xiaowei opened his eyes and see himself in a room that was just plain white and limitless.

There was a person lying on the floor. He looked about thirty and had some similar details to Xiaowei. His hair was jet black and his face was calm and welcoming. He gives off a really carefree attitude, but the atmosphere he gives of was like that of an iceberg. Unimaginably deep.

The guy opened his mouth and yawn, “Xiaowei you’re finally here?”

“Dad is that really you?” asked Xiaowei his mind started to fog. His voice quivered.

“Well I am going to assume you’re going to ask if I am your father or something along those boring lines,” he said lazily while still yawn, “Yes I am your father and I spent three days and three nights making this. Or was it three days and two nights?” he pondered. “Never mind that. The point is I spent a long time doing this. So be grateful.”

Xiaowei was taken aback by his tone and attitude. Every adult he met so far was well discipline and were respectful and well-mannered but his father was just all over the place. This was actually being kinda random.

“This is all just a soul imprint of me so I can’t really talk with you. You might not understand this but I have imprinted an algorithm system into this necklace so every time you enter a new realm you will see me. Also your mother was nagging me left and right to implant three lifesaving methods into the necklace. I only had time for one so use it wisely. If your mother finds out I only implanted one she would kill me.” He chuckled.

Xiaowei was flabbergasted. Wtf is this situation he thought. Xiaowei was about to tear up but the way his father was acting was like bringing a comedian to a funeral. This was supposed to be a dramatic reunion. Yet his father was making light of it.

“Anyway, as a man you should take some risk and not be a p***y when in danger. Also always remember this when your training or in any type of situations. Everything has a weakness. No matter how strong or invincible it is it has a weakness.

Also never think you’re the smartest one in the room, unless you’re me. Don’t show of too much unless you have the strength to back it up. Mhmm. Think outside the box. If you can’t solve a problem this moment walk away and come back to it later. Pretty much be tricky, wise, and smart and strong and not strong and stupid. People like those future are so limited so much talent and yet so weak.”

He is all over the place, Xiaowei thought but he got the main message his dad was trying to get across. His dad changed positions and lays on his back. His arms spread out and moving like he is trying to make a snow angel.

“What else is there to say? Your mom wants you to keep yourself healthy don’t do stupid things. Eat well. Wear clean clothes. Make friends. Do your homework, listen to your elders. Go out and adventure. Become strong, smart, cool, and a chick magnet like me” the moment he said that last line his body flew like someone hit him. “I don’t know why I fell in love with such a brutal woman.”

Xiaowei laughed because he saw a flicker of his mom hitting his dad. It was actually the first time he laughed in days.

“On a serious note, I left one techniques in this stage. The rank 7 emperor steps technique. Yeah I already know you’re going to be dual element in eletric and fire. Anyway this technique is special compared to other foot techniques and would go perfectly with your electric element. Originally I wanted to only teach you this when you enter the Martial Stage but your mother wanted you to learn a technique that can save you in dangerous situations. Pretty much be a chicken and run away.”

His body flew again. “Stop hitting me woman!”

Xiaowei couldn't help but smile. It wasn't how he imagined his parents but it will do.

“Let’s see where was I? This technique would be easier to learn if you have cultivated electric energy but not having it just makes it a bit harder to learn. If your stupid just forget it. There are five steps to this. One to four will be somewhat similar and you can rely on internal qi to learn but it will only be a rank 3 or maybe four if you use it well. It isn’t until you cultivate electric qi will it become rank 7. Watch me.”

He stood up and starts walking toward Xiaowei but then instantly disappeared and appeared right in front of Xiaowei. His presence was similar to an emperor and Xiaowei automatically felt the floor. He just fell due to surprise.

“Jin is the first step. To advance or enter a person’s personal space.”

He then disappeared again and reappears 15 meters away. Xiaowei stood up again. He was surprised at a natural movement. He couldn’t even see the direction his movements. Usually there needs to be an initial movement for such fast speed.

“Tui. To retreat. This allows you to retreat when you feel danger.”

He disappears again and this time standing back to back to Xiaowei. Xiaowei didn’t even felt it until he talked.

“Bi. To evade. It allows you to avoid enemy’s attacks and even sight.”

He kicks one of Xiaowei’s leg and Xiaowei fell face first onto the floor.

“qin. To attack. This one is a bit different from the first three. You must be able to read and predict your opponent’s movements and use the first three skills to invade and cause the opponent to lose balance, giving you the opportunity to attack.”

Xiaowei looks up at him all amazed. He had personally just seen his dad use all these techniques. Even he could tell the flow and master of this skill is not just smooth but like he has been using it his whole entire life.

Then multiple images of him appeared in many different poses. There were at least 50 of him.

“This last one is xiang. By using the lightning qi you can create a movement from one space so fast that you leave an after image of yourself. You can do this with your normal qi but at most three images before your ankles and body will start to hurt. I will also show you the first three using electric qi.”

Xiaotian stood still and all 50 of those afterimages disappeared. Xiaowei saw his ankle moved and he disappeared but and afterimage remain but Xiaowei knew he was far back but then Xiaotian flick his head.

“You probable thought I was back over there but with the electric element in the technique your speed would increase to the point where a person’s eyes cannot keep up. Therefore they cannot see which are real. The greatest part of this technique is not xiang but the first three.”

Next Xiaotian lifts up his hand which was glowing sent a wave of energy at Xiaowei. Then a flood of information entered his brain. It was the training method of the emperor steps technique.

“This is a rank 7 technique because of its simplicity. Instead of waste movements it focuses on the ankles which determines direction. It puts a lot of strain on the ankle but you have an Asura’s body so you should be fine.”

Huh? Xiaowei was surprised how did his dad knew? He was just born when his dad had to leave. How did he know and prepared for all this?
