《The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons》Chapter 21- Li Shen… That Harmless Smile
Advertisement
"What terrifying speed!! Even I almost lost track of him when he made his move. Is he really only at the Foundation Building stage?!" said a mid-stage Core Formation disciple in astonishment.
Another disciple comment again.
"Not only that, he actually manage to stopped an attack from an early Core Formation realm cultivator with just a finger. What a monster, it looks like young master Longwei with his Legendary Physique, isn't the only monster level genius the Wu Clan has."
As Longmin stood there with his finger against Xiang Shi's sword, the red rune on the tip of his finger released a string of energy into it.
With astounding speed, it shot towards the hidden aura that was headed for Xiang Shi's dantian.
The hidden aura began to struggle while it was being wrapped up by Longmin's string of energy, but, its struggle was futile as the string of energy effortlessly overpower it and began to pull it towards Longmin's finger.
After the aura entered the rune on his finger, Longmin dropped his hand and slowly turned around to look at Li Shen who was still on the ground.
Li Shen had sensed what had just happened to his hidden aura, and a look of surprise flashed within Li Shen's eyes, which then transformed into anger, before quickly turning calm.
Those changes were so minor a normal person wouldn't have been able to detect them, however, Longmin who was silently looking at Li Shen saw those changes within his eyes very clearly.
The fourteen-year-old Longmin just smiled as he looked at Li Shen. Even though his appearance was different, his smile still held a certain charm that made him seem harmless.
With his young and immature face, that smile could make someone feel calm, and less threaten by him.
Li Shen saw that smile and thought to himself.
'Was it a coincidence he found my Mirror Aura? The manual said that no one below the Sage realm should be able to sense it if used it with my current cultivation. Even Sage realm cultivators if they aren't specifically looking for it wouldn't be able to sense it. It must have been a coincidence, there is no way this Foundation brat's perception could be keener than a Sage realm expert.'
The tension in Li Shen's heart eased. This technique was his most guarded secret that he went to great lengths to make sure no one found out about it.

The last thing he wanted was the Wu Clan getting wind that he had a technique like this. He knew how powerful and special the technique was, and he didn't want to take any chances.
'Though I have to admit that this little guy in front of me is really a monster-level genius. He's so powerful despite being in the mid-stage of the Foundation realm.'
As soon as Li Shen's attention drifted, and he stop thinking of Longmin as a threat.
With the same smiling expression, Longmin's brown pupils suddenly lit up with a blue and gold rune.
Longmin's eyes then glazed over Li Shen's body stopping at his dantian for a second and then moving onto his forehead.
Li Shen suddenly felt a cold chill went down his spine as he sensed the treasure in his sea of consciousness trembling along with the developing Mirror Aura within his dantian.
Li Shen's face went pale as he realized his blunder.
He had actually let his guard down thinking that Longmin couldn't have sensed his aura. He thought that he was probably here to stop the fight and happened to sense the aura within Xiang Shi's sword.
'Wh.. why did I think that? Now that he found out about my technique there's no way he's going to let me go. Dammit!!" Li Shen screamed in his heart.
"It's because of that bastard Xiao Fang forcing me to come here. I don't know how he found out about the manual in my sea of consciousness, but he had no idea about the technique itself and how special it was, so I could have handled his schemes. But now this demon of a child appeared out of nowhere and just causally figured everything out. Worse of all he's one of the young masters of the Wu Clan. I've dealt with people like him before, and they're nothing but a bunch of greedy shameless dogs who see everyone as ants below their feet. But even so, there's no way I can't fight back against him.'
Li Shen's heart was in turmoil as he greeted his teeth in frustration.
'The only way for him to get the technique is to sever the connection between the manually and my soul, but they're totally fused. I would die if he decides to take it.'

Meanwhile Li Shen was having a panic attack inside, the runes in Longmin's eyes faded away and with the smile never leaving his face he said, "That's a really powerful technique you have there, it's probably on the same level as a Legacy Technique from our clan, or even a bit higher."
Hearing that Li Shen's heart seized with fear and an overwhelming amount of dread wash over him.
'That's it, I'm dead! He's definitely going to kill me to get the manual.'
However, Longmin's next actions caused his mind to go blank, while he just stared on in a daze.
Longmin twitch his finger slightly and the trapped aura was released. Then showing off its miraculous properties, it merge with the surrounding Spiritual Qi and remained undetected as it traveled through the air and went through Li Shen's abdomen and into his dantian.
Not spearing a further glance, Longmin turned and vanished, reappearing several dozens of meters away next to Longwei.
"Did you find something interesting, little brother?" Longwei asked from the side.
Longmin thought for a moment then said, "I'm not sure yet. When we enter the Pocket Realm we'll see."
Longwei didn't ask any further questions, he knew Longmin would tell him eventually.
As the crowd's focus shifted off Longmin and onto the Pocket realm's entrance, their excitement bubble burst and overflowed as the entrance was now fully opened.
The tear in space had completely covered the entire Valley.
Its length had stretched from between the two mountain peaks to reach the Valley's floor, and its width was as wide as the space between the two mountains' base, which was several hundred meters wide.
All the disciples watched as it stabilized, but no one moved to enter.
Despite their excitement and eagerness to enter the Pocket Realm, they all forcefully stopped themselves and turned to look at Longwei and Longmin. They were all waiting for them to enter first.
Nothing less was expected in this situation, for they were the sons of the Wu Clan's Patriarch, even though they were the elites of the younger generation of the various sects and clans, they were still under the control of the Wu Clan and thus Longwei's and Longmin's status was far above theirs.
Longwei and Longmin began to walk through the path the crowd had parted and made for them.
Before long they reached the humongous entrance where the strange aura was a lot stronger.
Longmin stretched out his arm and it came into contact with a clear membrane-like structure. He felt that as long he willed it he could push past it and enter the world beyond.
Longwei's voice sounded next to him.
"Are you ready?"
Longmin nodded his head in confirmation.
"Here," Longwei said while handing Longmin a jade slip.
Longwei followed up by saying, "Father gave me a jade slip with a detailed map of the Pocket Realm. I made a copy of it on that slip."
Longmin nodded his head once again as he took the jade slip and place it in his storage bag, dangling from his waist.
Meanwhile, the disciples only stared on with greedy eyes, wishing they could get a hold of such a valuable item.
None of the sects had a detailed map of the Pocket Realm, at most they would have several places where treasures could be found as well as some territories of dangerous demonic beast marked down.
If they could get a hold of a map like that, they could navigate around the dangerous areas in Pocket Realm and loot all the treasures they find.
But sadly, the Wu Clan kept a close guard on such a map.
"Alright little brother, let us go get my Heavenly Pallet." As Longwei said that he push past the clear membrane and entered the Pocket Realm.
Longmin was right behind him, but, just before his entire body entered through the entrance he suddenly felt someone's gaze on him.
Before he could turn around to see who it was the sensation vanished and his entire body entered the Pocket Realm. The two late-stage Core Formation bodyguards followed suit.

8 99The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
