Chapter 12: The Uneventful Journey

Journey log day 1:

As the two set off to the Capital, they both immediately start preparing, Jessica by just gathering more Ki essence to the best of her ability, while Elias was busy learning his new skill.

The carriage driver was immediately shocked to see Elias casually take out a Ki skill as not only one needs a high rank in Ki cultivation, but they are also disastrously expensive and only the utmost experts carried them around as they are usually stored in a sect for their disciples. This made the driver recalculate the young man in front of him and took the journey very carefully afraid of what would happen if someone would anger this sleeping beast.

Along the way there wasn't any obstacle such as bandits or some wild beasts attack and for this the driver was thanking his and the bandits that didn't show up lucky stars.

Meanwhile Jessica had started to fuse her element to her Ki, she wasn't as lucky so she only had the one element to fuse which was fire, and according to her calculations she would successfully fuse the two together in ten years time, which to the human continent would make her one of the top geniuses, but this didn't make her feel superior in any way, as she had seen Elias effortlessly fuse the elements together in five years, not only that but there were two elements, this would make any practitioner green with envy.

As this was happening, Elias’s face showed a childish smile as he had just started to comprehend the skill in his hand and was finally testing it out, but how could Elias know that it would take a normal person at least five years to start to comprehend such a high ranked skill, as in the human continent the skill ranked at most rank six, while in the immortal continent the higher skills were placed there.

Journey log day 15:

“Halt!! Hehe step out the carriage and hand over the valuables, if you do, I guess me and my friends here might let you go hehe” as this was called out numerous expressions were on the faces of the people on the carriage: the driver's face was full of concern of course not for himself or the passengers but for the bandits, as they didn't know they had awoken a sleeping beast, Jessica was full of annoyance at the pests that had awoken her from training, but Elias had a strange glint in his eyes, this was because he finally got to have some practice with his new skill.

Stepping out of the carriage Elias and Jessica saw twenty men, ten on the road and ten in the tree line, Elias used his Ki sense on the ‘bugs’ in front of him and what he saw put a frown on his face as fifteen of the men only had a cultivation stage of the E rank, while four in front of him was at the D rank and the apparent leader was at the C rank.

Seeing the frown upon Elias’s face the leader of the bandits took that as seeing that they were intimidating them, and didn't even use his Ki sense on the two kids and carriage driver.

“Hehe okay brats sit over there quietly, humph you don't even compare to us cultivators… oh a girl, well we'll take you with us when we're done hehe”

This made Jessica want to tear their throat out but held back seeing her masters scheming grin on his face.

Elias whispered to her “You can take the fifteen E ranks but don't touch the D and C rank I want to test out my new skill and demi beast form ok” Jessica grinned evilly at her masters commands and quickly knocked the carriage driver out so her masters cover wouldn’t be broken, watching this, the bandits were very confused as they just witnessed the seemingly young knock the carriage driver out, but suddenly they were knocked back into reality when the seemingly fragile girl stepped out radiating a slight royal aura (by being near Elias for a long time his aura affected her as well) this made everyone of the bandits sweat profusely.

“Humph scum you dare try and threaten my lord, and even show that kind of attitude… none of you will leave here ALIVE!” finishing her speech she disappeared from the view of the bandits, as they were constantly searching for her all they could hear was the screams of the fifteen low ranked bandits which seemed to pierce them and made them shudder.

“*cough* *cough*” hearing the cough the five higher ranked bandits turned to the young boy and the girl which had just appeared back with a few blood stains on her hands.

Elias started to walk out towards the bandits and let out his aura that seemed to belong to a tyrant king, feeling this the five men dropped to the floor shaking while the leader of the bandits was cursing his luck every second he was left alive. Elias smiled at this scene but then spoke in his usual arrogant manner “Consider yourselves lucky, you will be my first test subjects kuku”.

This made the bandits shudder as they saw this young boy in front of them transform as he grew out five fox like tails with golden tips, black fox ears, large dagger like nails and fangs on his top row of teeth.

Disappearing from the bandits view but was clearly on another level of speed from the young girl in front of them the leader bandit felt a splatter on both sides of his neck, turning around he saw his comrades headless bodies, at this he broke down and started to flail his arms full of his Ki anywhere.

Elias used this to test out his new skill as he turned back into his human form, and stood in front of the bandit leader activating his skill instantly he saw the world and its movements in slow motion, grinning to himself he walked up further to the bandit, and said “Hit me” this notion made the already raging bandit activate all of his Ki into his four limbs and try to hit the abomination in front of him.

But to Elias he was just playing with this inferior human in front of his as he was laughing while taking great time to dodge the bandit leader attacks, but soon this grew tiresome as he could only use the skill for one minute before he grew a bit tired so with no warning Elias used his hand to cut through the air and the bandit leader head in one.

As soon as they were done taking care of the pests they woke the carriage driver up who was shocked to see such a savage scene committed by these two children but quickly knew not to ask questions and they set off once again.

Journey log day 21:

As they arrived at the kingdom of Tirif both Elias and Jessica were very excited for the future tournament and immediately paid the carriage driver, and went off to rent a room in an inn to rest and train until a weeks time when they would take part in the entrance exam.
