A giant galleon, made out of Vivendi wood sailed the sea of space. Carved by the great sea masters of the twelve sea masters. The galleon is awe inspiring, a gem among gems. A ship worthy of any schools young master! Colossal demon face adorned the very front of the ship, made out of complete metallic alloy. All who seen this head, would come to know the owner of this giant galleon is the Iron Demon Body school!

The whole galleon was made out of Velvet colored wood. this particular wood is capable of absorbing immense amount of Qi. Capable of sustaining such devastating attacks, within was layered with Iron Demon Body’s own metallic alloy from their precious schools techniques. The whole galleon able to hold up to ninety people. Each room had double bunks, housing four students within a single room. The school’s advanced students, would share with one other student demonstrating them above the initiate students.

The school’s branch leaders and 2 star ranked martial artists would be given their own room. Their personal rooms would be special. The wood for their particular rooms would be laced with a special type of liquid that would provide them with tranquility to practice Qi breathing without being disturbed from anything outside.

The whole ship was carved to give of an aura of iron anger. All the way from the back of the ship, moving to the front. If one followed the lined carving their gaze would end up drawn to the giant demon face on the front of the ship.

The largest space in the whole galleon belonged to the young master, with the rear had an invisible Qi bubble allowing the view from the rear to be extremely rich. All of the lights from the surrounding planets, and stars would be drawn to the Qi bubble, and filtered through, lighting the room up like a starscape had manifested inside!

A man was seated in an agitated position. He had dusty grey hair spiked up, and a scar across his face from eye-to-eye.

‘We’ve been at it for so many years, tracking that lightning dog around the galaxy! I feel shamed for taking this long! I don’t have the face to pay respects to master’s shrine!’

“Brother Taegu, calm yourself. Remember your status, you shouldn’t have shame. In due time we will find him, and punish him.’ A figure nonchalantly replied.

‘Did you even mourn master’s death? You must be happy he got killed, now you can take over the school without any contest? You’re all despicable, taking advantage of master’s death! So don’t talk to me about having no shame! When you’re all worse than dog shit!’ Anger boiling out of him, Taegu smashed the Jar of ale he had clutched in his hand.

‘Brother Taegu, you’ve started spitting when you talk again. Even through this is a transmission, I feel disgusted. Its better I go, and leave you to your hunt. Also, join up with the Martial Arts Federations search party around the outer rim. Todoloo Brother’ waving his hand in a goodbye gesture.

‘Where are you going?! Wait a mom...’

Before he could finish, the figure on the other side of the transmission disappeared.

‘Argh! You complacent dog! When I return watch me fuck you like a little bitch with my fist! Then I’d like to see you sit so calmly in front of me!’

‘Bring me more ale quick!’ An overbearing voice roared through the ship.

A young student was running towards the young master’s room with an anxious look across his face, ‘Young master! Young master!’ he shouted.

‘Come in what is it?’

The young student bowed before Taegu, he continued, ‘There’s been a development. A great amount of Elemental activity has been picked up around the outer rim sectors of the planets!’

‘What? Quick! What elements was it?’ His body jumped out of his seated position, unable to contain his fury and excitement, a violent aura exuded out of his body.

The young boy took a deep gulp, and developed his story, ‘Lightning and Fire... only’. Retribution shone in Taegu’s eyes.

Taegu’s body trembling with excitement, he shouted in an elated voice ‘turn course towards the elemental activity! He’s there! That lighting bastard is there! Hahaha’

The young boy bowed a little deeper, then looking up once more. Beginning to slowly step out of the room before Taegu interrupted him. ‘Where are you going? Didn’t you hear me before?’ A confused look appeared briefly, then a terrified look replaced it. Because he didn’t hear him before!

‘No... Young Master I was bringing this news to you... I thought this is what you wanted to know. I am sor...’ The young boy was no younger than Wenrou, he carried a prideful look in his eyes usually.

Taegu, didn’t move upon hearing the boys excuse.

Shaking his head, he replied ‘I asked for ale. You came to my room without ale... tsk tsk. Then you presumed to know what was important to me and barged into my room without bringing what I want? Is that what you’re saying to me. Am I hearing it correctly.

‘No young master I didn’t’

‘It wasn’t a question. Come over here. You’re new aren’t you?’

‘Yes... yes I am young master’ scared witless, his voice began to stutter slightly.

‘Ahh. New students are always the hardest to teach. Stay here, and I’ll help break in the rules to you for a while. Think of it as personal tutoring if you like’, Stroking the approached young boys head slowly, Taegu’s whole body felt like a slippery eel, disgustingly wet and dripping all over the floor area.

The young boy now felt like he was stuck in sinking mud, feeling extremely uncomfortable his heart pounding. His throat as dry as a desert. He thought of trying to voice discontent and wished to be excused but when he looked at Taegu his thoughts dispersed. He had heard of Taegu’s dirty tendencies but had never paid heed to them. Making his way into the school of the Iron Demon Body was already a great accomplishment for him and his family. He slowly picked up where this was leading from all of the rumours that had always been said in hushed voices, and dark corners.

He generated willpower from his soul and opened his mouth muttering a few words in a low tone, ‘No... No... No young master... I’ll go get your ale! Yes, then I’ll... I’ll come back okay! Okay?’

‘That won’t do. My personal servants already brought my ale, he’s at the door look.’ His voice was now careless, pointing at the door. Everything in his control.

The young boy only felt his scalp go numb. He didn’t have the courage to turn his head, turning his head would mean accepting what was going to happen. Thinking of something to help him get out...

The door crept shut. Completely shattering his thoughts. He didn’t move from his position, only looking at the floorboards of the ship, images flashing in his eyes, yet he couldn’t make out any of the images at all.

Taegu’s footsteps lightly trotted around, moving to his bed.

‘Now you’ll come here and do as I ask. Or I’ll make you do as I ask. Trust me, you don’t want me to do that’, Taegu snickered.

Still unable to process everything happening, his body turning slowly to face the bed in the room. His breathing heavy, not willing to open his mouth breathing through his nose leaving behind the noise of air squeezing out of his nostrils. He slowly moved to the bed.

The servant at the door is Taegu’s personal servant and advisor. Acknowledging everything taking place he respectfully bowed. Closing the door, making sure nobody would interrupt the young master’s fun.

The servant was cloaked in metallic clothing as is the traditional garb of the Iron Demon Body school. His face covered in a giant beard, and a moustache that far exceeded his heads width. He was a quiet man always thinking in his head, but respected among the school. His rank was second only to the young masters.

Making his way to the Command station of the galleon, respectful bows took place before he made it a giant moving screen. The screen was generated through Qi, and was a diagnosis of the current area where the Elemental Eruption took place.

Looking carefully at the screen he asked calmly, ‘Have we examined the Lighting Pillar that rose through the atmosphere? Has the exact location been determined?’

A veteran of the school stepped forward, ‘Master Mad Iron, the lighting pillar as you can see on the screen, renders the Qi reading almost useless. However, that being said we did manage to locate the area where the blast could have come from. That is... the best these machines can do.’ His voice a little hesitant at the end.

Master Mad Iron gave a thoughtful look. The young master wants revenge above all else, if he can’t get it he won’t rest for another day. For him personally, goals and aims chasing a Lighting Cultivator around the galaxy is a waste of time. Aiming to make this trip as fast as possible he called out, ‘There is six planets in that area. The Yin Long Planet, Hetion Planet are the two biggest. Let’s stop in-between them and search the grounds for any clues. If the Lightning Element was used to such an extent that we discovered readings from the outer ridges of the inner sanctum of planets. The land and sky will definitely have evidence burnt into it.’

‘Yes master mad iron! Setting course, will approximately take us 6-9 months to reach the area.’

‘That won’t do. Do what you can to shorten the time span. Once you do, send word to me. I’m going into secluded meditation. Also, nobody is to go near the Young Masters quarters without my permission.’ Without waiting for any reply, he turned and moved sturdily to his personal quarters.
