Yin Long planet lower half

Wenrou, Baohu and Ri were located in the Meigui forest, close to the Xia Ban city. This city was located in the lower half and housed millions of people, and with it being the lower half there was warrants to cut down beasts in the Meigui forest to help keep the city as safe as possible. It was also a way to keep the people calm, there was no better way than to hang up dead carcasses and beast heads dangling of the walls.

Each head of any beast of any rank would be paid in coin, naturally beasts hunters that went out would attain special privileges like free meal or a free bed for the night. It wouldn't be luxurious especially not in the lower half, but it was acceptable privileges nonetheless.

The Meigui forests, was located near the south of the Xia Ban city, and housed some of the most vicious beasts. This forest was a death zone for most cultivators and beast hunters, the forest had swirling trees brown and violet colored, from the ground it would grow straight for about 5 meters then it would slowly distort and begin to swirl. The leaves of this forest were red with specs of brown as well as black on them, since all the trees would end up swirling towards the top half, they interlocked with each other and ended up blocking out the sun. From the outside it looked like a massive red dome and it had this disgusting thick mist that would move like a tidal wave.

When one looked at the mist that would blow out from the forest, and then get sucked back in within mere seconds would give most people goose bumps. A bad premonition!

Within the forest you could hear beast and monster shrieks from all directions, within a part of the forest was an old man, picking berries and mushrooms of the floor that was mostly made up of stones and pebbles with small streams of water flowing down, this old man was Baohu, he was also, occasionally catching seven legged blue frogs with a tiny bulge on their forehead. To Baohu they was food!

His face had a sinister gaze and lecherous smile on it he had already decided on many possibilities to cook them.

He would think to himself "Tonight I am going to boil them alive, ahhh.. the way they boil alive will give them another sweet taste, or no. I will chop of the legs and boil them separately, since the body contains a small poison sac that could affect the taste. I'll wrap the legs in scented green leaves to give the boiled legs a spectacular taste" with each thought he would take in a deep breath through his nostrils, as if he was smelling the food being cooked, the more he thought about what he could do, the more excited and wicked he would look.

Ri seeing this old mans sinister gaze and smile just sighed this old man could be so gentle to humans but evil to beasts she and the old man had a special relationship she would shout at him when she would need to, and would be polite and respectful when needed right now she was fighting a beast but this old man wouldn't help her.

She could feel her rage boil up within her "Oi, grandpa stop having lecherous thoughts about tonight's dinner. I AM NOT EATING FROG LEGS! SO DISGUSTING! Now will you help me kill this damned horned iron boar!" Her voice came out with discontent, how can this old man look so happy when his granddaughter was fighting with her life on the line?

The old mans face didn't change still imaging the many possibilities, his prickly mustache was able to cut the air, and this made him look even scarier. He just looked back at her "ahhh these frog legs will go nicely as a side dish next to that boar meat, alas I cannot help. No kill no feed. Kill that boar for tonight's dinner and your training for today is complete!" his voice came out extremely smooth while he took a meditative position, he looked extremely happy holding his backpack, like it carried jewels and gold, didn't even seem like he noticed Ri fighting the boar, he was in his own little world.

Ri, held up her hands into a protective stance, Qi expanded from her fists and she was fighting this Horned Iron Boar bear handed. Her palms turning slightly red, from the constant collision with the Boar but didn't look like it worried her at all. Looking for a place to strike the boar she looked around to only notice a branch up behind her, not to high not to low.

She dodged backwards with skill, not even looking back perfectly standing on rocks like she had mapped this place, like it was imprinted it into her brain before the fight. The boar however, had different plans it wasn't planning to die to such a weak looking girl! It kept following her tightly wailing and thrashing with its tusks at every chance, her brows creased she had one chance to to kill this boar, and that was a clean cut to the nape of the neck.

The moment she neared the tree, she used her lower body strength to thrust her up to the branch, her body moved in a 180% with her legs landing at the bottom of the branch, an evil smile painted across her face, her left hand stretched out like a knife and she thought to her self "half crescent slash!" her body using the momentum of the leap, and the gravity of the planet her Qi focused towards her knife like palm and fingers, she descended at a scary speed! The branch split under her foot exerting pressure, and blasting of.

Blood spurted out from the boars body, "Puchi.." the head flew off and landed close to her body, "bak, bak" she just looked at the Boar with contempt.

These Iron Boars wouldn't understand concept of surroundings or abilities to fight back. Their body was hardened through the Qi pouring through their orifices and being absorbed by their thick leather skin made them hard to deal with for some people. However, anybody who trained to a certain degree would be able to fight back with ease, able to kill them with a clean cut to the nape located at the back of the neck.

Ri, just left the 4 meter long body, riddled with scars and wounds made from falling and attacks from humans. The boar had hair that had become as hard as mini wooden branches, it was grey colored across the stomach, and had brown fur. It had two white spear tusks coming out of its mouth, but one had been snapped off clearly from an earlier fight where it had survived, it gave it a fierce expression. It would send any boy back to their mama crying.

The grandpa wasn't far, he seen the body slumped he just walked over discontent on his face and voice "Your crescent chop is still to slow, if the branch was closer to the ground would you be able to make the jump and spin in time, and build enough momentum to generate enough power for the chop to cleanly cut this boar? No I don't think so. Stop looking proud and go get Wenrou you silly girl!"

She just pouted her lips and crossed her arms "I'll master this skill before long!"

Ri ran over to the cart where Wenrou was lying down "Oi Wenrou get the fuck up you freeloader. Help my grandpa carry my kill" She crossed her arms and raised her head as she said this, she looked way to proud, it was faintly emitting from her.

Wenrou hearing the word "Oi" could only feel rage from deep, deep inside him. He had come to hate this word with every cell and fiber in his body. This girl would start every sentence when she addressed someone with "Oi" his face would twitch, he would clench his jaw because after a few months it had started to irritate him, and Ri noticing this naturally wasn't going to stop any time soon. She was having a lot of fun pissing him off.

He just looked at her with his eyes droopy, that contained malice behind them, he could only nod. He jumped out the cart and headed towards Baohu. Along the way he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and think to himself "this girl is crazy, shes able to kill a Horned Iron Boar! Fucking freak" he would curse in his heart every time she killed a huge beast because, she would kick him down and look down at him, he wasn't able to do such things, without even a seed growing and having weak Qi maybe he would never be able to.

Baohu noticing Wenrous quiet and distant demeanor couldn't help but pry "What are you thinking about?"

Wenrou looked up, he looked at Baohu as he picked up a leg of the Boar and started quietly murmuring at a volume Ri wasn't able to hear, "My brother will be attending the School Acceptance Day today" maybe she would laugh till tomorrow if she found out his brother was extremely talented, compared to him who was pretty much garbage.

"Your brother? Interesting, Interesting.. Does he have talent?" Boahu said this while running his oily fingers through his spear like mustache, looked a little shocked inwardly, Wenrou would hardly talk about himself or his past, he couldn't help asking more. This man loved hearing peoples secrets, he had an air of mysticism as well, which probably came about by all of the secrets he knows.

Wenrou just silently nodded confirming Boahu's question.

--------------------

Crater City was lively today, it was vibrant and glowing! Today was the School Acceptance Day! many youths would enter a school and begin to train, eventually being able to master some sort of Art that would propel them when they left this planet.

The city was having a giant festival, everybody would attend and watch the acceptance day either from the streets or from their balcony and windows of their top floor. The city had decorations littered from building to building, or plastered to the walls with orange and blue lanterns lit all around the city giving an air of festivities, some parts of the city had fireworks and dance shows going on with people dressed in beast costumes reenacting a famous fight between a beast and a supreme warrior. Drums were constantly being played throughout the city, it wasn't to loud nor to quiet it blended into the mixture of sounds perfectly.

The city as loud as it is, quieted down, the drums slowed down and eventually coming to halt. When the three major schools entered the square and surrounded a round platform positioned in the very center of the city. The platform was made up of silver stone, with a black wooden border running all the way around the perimeter, it was one meter above the ground.

Everybody was silent as the City lord Toulan Xuanze moved up to the platform, ready to give a speech to the crowd he was wearing a metallic red colored robe, with a gold and black pattern embroidered onto it, with black shoes that was plain but suited the robe very much. The robe was fluttering in the wind, Toulan had both his hands behind him, his hair floating in the slight breeze, brushing past his face every so often.

Toulan using his Qi to address the people in the square and all the schools present started talking "Today is another joyous occasion for our Yin Long planet. Today is a day our children have reached an age where they can grow wings and fly. Without further ado we will let the Zhé chì de qǐzhòngjī school and Huǒhóng de quántóu school come up and display a martial art routine then we will begin the administration tests to test the children's capabilities.

Didn't take long for the Zhe Chi school to step up first, wearing white uniforms they was 8 young adults at the age of 18. They looked calm yet fierce, moving into a circle position, all facing each other at each other they began collecting their Qi and soon it turned into the wind element. Their dance routine was one of composure, elegance and swift movements jumping in and out between each other, using the wind to propel them a hairs distance past each, truly left the crowd gasping and wanting more. The wind element they utilized had calmed the air surrounding the platform, but left the people with jumping heartbeats.

Next the Huohong school stepped up, wearing black uniforms specializing in the element of fire their moves were all firm and explosive they started in a straight formation but each move would place them at a different part of the platform synchronizing their fire to bring about crazy moves, each move would lift them selves of the ground with the explosive capabilities of the fire element bursting out of their palms and feet. They had magnificent control over the fire element, utilizing the fire to burst from their fists, and bottom of their soles enabling them to glide around the platform weaving in and out of each other with the occasional one flying above for a brief moment and spiting an explosive flame.

This all left the crowd gasping at every turn the young adults would almost collide with each other, or when one would fly out from within the black uniforms, and would use the brief moment before landing to conjure fire to slow his descent enough to move into a position within the formation.

It took a moment for the Huohong school to step down, and the atmosphere was left with a fiery breeze, everybody looking extremely excited and their blood boiling. Parents happy their sons and daughters would be able to wield elements such as this when the time came.

Toulan stepped back up, all the people around the platform fell silent.

Toulan looked down to the bodies that filled the square and said in a quiet manner "we will have the kids who want to join the school they wish to join stand up in an orderly fashion and prepare to meet the heads of the respective schools and see if they have the requirements to join.

Zhe Chi school was clearly very popular, the many kids lined up to meet the head. The head of the Zhe Chi school wore a long white robe with golden patterns embroidered onto the robe, the robe was especially long that it covered his feet, he had grey hair and grey thin long beared that dropped down to this waist, he gave of the feeling of ancientness and a profound wind was circling around him.

Each kid stepped up walking towards him, he would touch their wrist for a brief moment analyzing their seed, he would give a affirmative nod which would move the kid to the next stage, where he would place his hand upon a special gemstone that would demonstrate the amount of Qi their body was generating at their age. The more Qi one produced, the more one could use skills, and profound movement techniques the less Qi one produced per breath would result in a longer waiting time before they was battle ready again.

The Zhe Chi was taking long it seemed, and the Huohong and other schools stepped up, each master was emitting a dignified aura the Huohong school master was dressed in deep black azure robes with a circular swirling motion sewn, with a red fire phoenix image on the back of his robes, he had white hair and red eyebrows with flaming fiery red eyes.

You could hear numbers being shouted out each school was recording the results of the students participating in the test numbers such as "112, 78, 89, 65, 92, 221" 221 was an extremely high number, most people gaped at this number and heads were raised to see which kid this was, whoever it was would bring great pride and power to their family in the future.

The numbers kept coming out unceasingly, the Zhe Chi and Huohong as well as the other schools had accepted a considerable amount of students in the square, except one. This was the Tiandi school, an old man dressed in black, with a black hood he turned all the kids around as they came. Their seed and their Qi accumulation talents were weak no matter whoever came, it seemed he wasn't willing to accept any kid this year..

The parents seeing their kids being turned around without being tested could only curse in their hearts.

Most of the lords who seen this could only sigh, the Tiandi school was mysterious the master would only accept one student a year and that was just through sheer luck, however everybody knew that the Tiandi school produced the best quality students. Cause he took very little on, he would develop them much more as he could concentrate on them enabling them to develop greater.

Greyhound and Toulan were surrounded by servants and other lords, eating fruits and meat as they was drinking wine, watching little Jie make his way to the platform. They wanted him to go to the Zhe Chi school, but after the things that happened between Wenrou and Toulan he had become a little rebel, not listening to his fathers and Greyhounds suggestion he didn't go to the Zhe Chi school, he just stood there pondering about where to go, his eyes moving along each school but he would constantly drift to the Tiandi Schools master, it was like he was drawing him in he could only look more and more towards him the more he focused.

Toulan gave Greyhound a slight nod, even though Toulan was eating and drinking wine and looked happy, he actually wasn't he seemed to have aged five years over the course of a few months. He was just fake laughing and smiling at his guests but he just wanted Jie to be accepted and make his way back home.

Greyhound moved and landed next to Jie, on one knee he asked "little lord? What is the matter? Just pick a school, you are talented whichever school you decide to go to they will accept you, me and your father sug.." before he finished speaking Jie gave him a fierce look he still hadn't forgotten how Greyhound had took him away from his brother and he hadn't forgave him yet.

Greyhound could only laugh bitterly, his little lord had tried to act cold towards his father and him but he wasn't very good at it his fierce looks, weren't fierce at all they was just a small child angry but if one looked past that they could see he still loved his father and Greyhound he was just punishing them for what had happened.

Jie just moved to the platform but he didn't walk towards any of the major schools he just walked close to the Tiandi school master and sat down with his legs crossed and his fists below his chin holding his head up. He spoke directly towards the master who had his eyes closed "Mister, why do I feel like I am drawn to you?" His cute voice sounded out direct and sharp.

The other masters in the square picked up on this and looked interested, stroking their beards they all looked towards the old man in black hooded robes with curiosity gleaming in their eyes. The air was quietly blowing across the square and it seemed everybody and everything had stopped and turned to look at this situation going on in the square. A child had addressed a master directly?

Buzzes of conversations sprouted out from the crowd "Whose kid is this? He spoke to the Tiandi school master" most of the people had confused looks on their faces, Greyhound and Toulan could only laugh in their hearts this kid knew no fear. It didn't take long for word to spread out that this kid was Toulan Xuanzes kid, the crowd paid even more attention when they gained the knowledge of who he was.

Tiandi School Master opened his eyes slowly, his gaze looking across the square, before long it landed on this kid who sat in a position like he was listening to a lecture or looking at a sculpture, the master just looked at him and said in a voice filled with veneration "may I test your seed little one?" Jie just nodded, handing his hand over...

The moment the Tiandi school master placed his hand onto Jie's wrist his eyes filled with shock his body jumped up, everybody in the crowd who seen this scene was filled with shock as well, at most the master would usually just grunt and accept a disciple before leaving but they never seen such a scene! The master urged Jie to place his hand on the rock, it was important to be talented in both areas, Qi and a Powerful seed.

Jie placed his small hands onto the stone, the stone was a great deal bigger than his hand and he only managed to cover half the stone where the stone illuminated producing a gold colored number 321!

The whole crowd was stunned "...!!!!!!!" "Is that even a child? I have never seen a number so high on our planet!"

Instantly the crowd burst into a riot they had never seen such a number, this was higher than most kids in the inner conclave planets, it was extremely hard to match kids from the inner planets as they had the best treatment and even the best materials and food, pills to treat their body way before the required age of training, but Jie had reached this number on this small planet?

Toulans calm gaze turned into an expression of shock, instantly his body heated up producing sweat that had started pouring down his head he didn't believe the number? He rubbed his eyes twice, three times and then a fourth but he still didn't believe it! Greyhound and all the other lords the same, they had never seen such a number in an acceptance day!!

The Tiandi Master just clasped his hands and had a affectionate smile on his face, he could only think to himself "I will be able to train another sage! The lords have blessed me with one final student and he is so talented, he will become a sage in the future. haha!"

It took a long time for the crowd to quieten down, nobody could still believe the number. The other masters were also unable to move their eyes or even concentrate on the kids in front of them, they all wanted to know the quality of this kids seed? If his Qi talent was so high, what was his Seed like? They all felt their hearts pump at this notion.

Once the whole ordeal calmed completely down, the kids returned to their parents side, most still unable to remove their gaze from the child especially the other school masters, the Tiandi School had gotten extremely lucky this time and had gained such a talented disciple.

Jie moved next to his father and sat down, he didn't quite understand the situation but he enjoyed all the people in the square looking at him with wide eyes and shock filled faces. He wasn't completely the same as Wenrou, where Wenrou didn't like to much attention, Jie welcomed it. He liked to be noticed and wasn't as shy as his brother either.

The festivities continued on for another day before coming to and end, at which point the children chosen would make their way to the respective schools to begin training.
