One week after Lao's third birthday, it was Moon's turn to be the center of the limelight and the focus of the whole village.

The tigress delivered 4 healthy Cubs successfully, once that happened all the village became antsy and anxious for a single reason.

Who is going to be the lucky bastard?

Lin and Lily are a walking example of how good is it to receive a tiger as a partner, despite their young age the two are capable of handling a whole team of the village veterans if they had their partners.

Especially after Sun undergone his latest upgrade when he ate the small black grey ball from the head of the Mammoth, now he can run amok in their midst even if they were armed with their armors.

The village members waited for Lin and Lily to speak after the 4 Cubs were born successfully, most of the the eyes fell on the youngest family in the village.

It had a 16 something years old father and mother, one biological son and a few adopted children of various ages and gender.

Chen and Yue the teenager couple were the closest to Lin and Lily because they're responsible for the lifeline of the whole village "The Younger Generation", yes they're the same two who arrived with toothless old Ba and Lin made them take care of all the kids who had no family, voluptuous lady Bai who's Lin's mother closest friend at the moment, Lady Bai's husband the man who Lin's father almost killed before refused to choose a name and got called "Boss" by the whole village like Lin addressed him once.

Chen and Yue just helped Lily with everything and she trained them to be her assistants, even the delivery of the Cubs included the two in the operation to help Lin, Lily and their mother.

The villagers counted the Cubs and did simple math, 4 Cubs.

The two teenager couple receive two of the Cubs because they're the closest to the two young owners of Sun and Moon, add their two youngest siblings Lao and Rose to receive the remaining two tiger Cubs.

The villagers had nothing to say or do but regret not being close friends with the twins.

'Sigh, maybe i'll get lucky next time and receive a tiger Cub for myself' this thought ran thorough all the village members as some of them made plans to try and gain the favor of the twins.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make. Actually it's just great news."

Lily was excited as she spoke, because what she's seeing in the eyes of the villagers was a feeling she couldn't be more familiar with.

The villagers turned their envious gazes from Chen and Yue towards Lily who crouched down to pat the back of the only female tiger Cub as she fed from her tired mother, Moon was laying on her side with drowsy eyes that fought sleep for a little bit longer to check her little Cubs.

"Hehe, sleep already, I told you that it hurts like hell to give birth and you slut went and did it behind my back."

Lily noticed the gentle gaze Moon gave her Cubs and joked as she used her hand to close the tigress's eye to sleep.

"Now, First we're building another project, Second we're going to do a series of tests and keep a record. Why's that? You must be asking yourselves right now, right!"

The villagers bashfully smiled when Lily publicized their thoughts and nodded.

"Don't you want one?"

Smiling demonically in return with a cute squint on her eyes, Lily shook her pigtails and pointed a finger on the tiger Cub next to her.

The sight of the villagers gasping at the hint which Lily just dropped at them made Lin's mother and madam Bai giggle, as her close friend lady Bai already knew from her beautiful big sister about the rules.

Lin shook his head at Lily's dramatic ways and went to take a shower to clean up Moon's bodily fluids off of his body, as for the matter of the Tiger Hall? It was left completely to Lily.

Tiger Hall, the place will be the destination for all those who wish to own their tiger someday, no tiger younger than 6 months old is allowed to be separated from his mother.

Now all these people are allowed to compete for their own chance to own one, they have 6 months from this day to prepare well.

Lily will be responsible for distributing information about the tigers and how to take care of them, but that doesn't include competitiveness! Does it? Of course not.

Men, women and children, even babies can receive their own Cub!

At the age of 6 months the Tiger Cub will choose it's partner, if it didn't favor any amongst the villagers then the competition will decide who receives it.

Competition doesn't have to be on physical capabilities or meritorious deeds on the hunting trips or exploratory jobs, every thing done in this community is counted in contribution points for the person himself.

It only comes down to who accumulates more.

Still, there will be a follow-up of 6 months to the people who managed to win a tiger cub, they need to do joint exercises with their partners inside the Tiger Hall and if they failed they'll get another chance of one month extension to pass the Tiger Hall's test.

If they failed again the tiger cub will be given to another villager, the records come to play a major part in this event.

In the case of the tiger cub choosing one of the babies in the village? The parents are responsible for taking care of the Tiger's training until their baby reaches the age of understanding what to do to keep it.

If the parents failed then the baby gets to try again when he's older, of course that will be with the next batch of Sun and Moon's offspring or maybe their son's and daughter's offspring.

"Calm down everyone, only three of the four cubs will be given away by the Tiger Hall this time."

Lily said teasingly and waited to relish the expression of the villagers getting antsy after their first burst of joy.

"Don't get too disappointed too soon, First, my family promises to not take any of these 4 cubs to ourselves. Ever. Only this female Cub will be left in the Tiger Hall to be a future source of cubs."

Lily clarified the rules to the crowd and they started to smile again after giving the young girl a few reproachful looks for being too naughty, as usual!

"Anyway, you have 6 months to prepare yourselves until it's time for the event, tomorrow we'll gather to talk further on the matter."

Lily dismissed the excited crowd then had her fun studying the difference between the second generation of Tiger Cubs and the first generation of Sun and Moon, she discovered that Sun and Moon's offspring were not only born healthy they were larger in size than their parents when they were born.

Lin on the other hand was trying to feel inside his imaginary Soul body for the source of his Soul Energy, after more than a week of receiving the Soul Strengthening Technique from Jin Bao, young Lin never stopped dedicating all his time to meditation if he wasn't taking a relaxing swim in the pool.

His only hope was to reach the next Realm of Soul Cultivation and awaken his Soul Eye, according to this Soul Manual Soul Sense is a different type of Sense other than all other senses Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Sight and intuition.

Soul Sense was a lot similar to A Sensor, Soul Eye Realm would enable the Blind to see, The Deaf to Hear, the Paralyzed to feel, not to mention the amazing boost to the only ethereal Sense which is intuition or awareness.

Now that his Soul Body is glowing amongst this dark space, all Lin should do it feel his Soul Body and seek the Source of Energy inside it.

His fuel will be the memories and his success will be calculated according to the width of the area his Soul lit up, that's why this Realm is called Soul Seeking a Source.

Once you gaze upon the Source of Soul Energy the Soul Eye opens and the Soul Sense awakens, then the world is seen from a wholly different perspective and the comprehension potential gets released from the shackles of the mundane.

Even Soul Cultivators don't recognize any fellow Soul Cultivator as a genuine colleague in Soul Cultivation unless he's in the Soul Eye Realm or higher, however, if you count the Soul Cultivators you'll encounter one every one hundred thousand Spirit Energy or Body Refinement Cultivators.

If you're looking for a Soul Cultivator in the Soul Eye Realm specifically then you'll end up looking amongst millions of Cultivators with a 5% chance of getting lucky enough to encounter one, any higher and your chances lower widely and the numbers jump from millions to billions or higher!

That was how rare Soul Cultivators in the Spirit World, right now Lin was surrounded by eery Darkness and trying to forage ahead while armed only with the Soul Strengthening Technique.

His knowledge was limited on practically everything be that Spirit, Soul but not the Body.

Great Sage Lin had an organized stack of knowledge depicting the human body, how to train it and where plus when to stop pushing it's limits and when to strain it instead of relaxing it.

PUMMA, "Purified Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts" was the perfect fusion of all Martial Arts and Fitness Techniques humanity created since they started to roam the earth, after humanity understood what was on stake the progress in many Martial Arts was stagnated by the fear of the incoming End Day.

"Martial Arts wouldn't help punching or kicking Disintegration Shockwaves away! would it? No? Then I better study how to create something that might help me escape that disaster" many Martial Artists had similar answer as they learned or joined their fellow human beings in the race against time.

PUMMA was later acknowledged as the shortest way to mastering Martial Arts, then it was acknowledged again as the "Best" amongest Martial Arts.

"The only reason someone studying PUMMA Martial Arts would lose is because he's lacking in mastery of the Art itself, I've studied it's moves and compared it with all the different competition and it's by far the one lacking in holes of it's Techniques, stances or approach compared to other Arts. Having fewer weaknesses makes you less prone to experience anything unexpected during your fight, to make split second decisions with meticulous precision is exactly what you'll ask from the fighter in a high speed toe to toe or a grabbling moment. The element playing the biggest part is the amount of training the fighter contributed, experience accumulated and the latent potential of the fighter himself. After all to keep concentrating while getting hit and hitting back would be plain naked impossibility to ask from anyone learning the Art, anyway, when I see PUMMA user lose to a Kung Fu, Muai Thai, Karate, Judo, Silat, TaeKwondo, Boxer, Sumo, Kickboxer or even any amateur blessed with talent. I don't jump the gun and call it Weak, every sport or profession has someone who's talented and someone average who still likes to do it anyway, because it's their Passion."

Lin gave that answer once during an interview while feeling regret for not having time to study the Art himself, he was lacking in Free Time and had to dedicate himself to discovering the new Material that will play the biggest rule in helping his race escape a catastrophe.

He'll leave the holographic monitors on as he worked just to keep a tiny part of his Brain keeping track of the competitions, now it was one week until he officially start training in the Art himself!

Lin felt his heart rate increase when he thought about doing something which wanted to learn since the early years of his previous life, if it wasn't for his Long meditation sessions then Lin would've been too antsy to sit still.

It was one of his Passions!

However, right now he had to focus on his Soul after Lily started to cynically deride his Spirit's uselessness, it sure was humiliating to receive all these comments from the little devil as she hugged and pressed him underneath her naked body!

It was like a double edged knife cutting at his Pride, apparently it had layers of meanings as it hinted at his manhood too.

"Tehehe, can't get it up Huh! Useless as usual."

Lily muttered as she teased Lin's small member with her organ as she smiled at his uncomfortable glance, then she rested her head on his chest and enjoyed listening to the music of his heart beats.

Day after day Lin used the whole week before his Fourth birthday party to search his Soul Body and Sense for the Soul Energy Source, he ended up finding nothing but the glow of his Soul Body grew brighter everyday and the dark surroundings in this imaginary space receded bit by bit.

Even his Soul Body started to feel Real in this mysterious Space inside his mind, from the ground up his soles were the start then his toes and it reached upwards to his ankles.

His birthday party had the whole village celebrating and laughing non-stop as they played with the little Cubs and gave them treats, Lin attended for half an hour then left in a hurry to start his very first true physical training session in this life.

Lily couldn't be more happy to be the center of attention and take the stage, singing with her mother and little Lao to entertain the villagers as they drank wine by the barrel while the children ate sweets like ravenous wolves while Chen and Yue tried to monitor them in this funny chaotic atmosphere.

The monks were avoiding their pregnant wives and trying to have some fun in the drinking competitions with the "Chief" Lin's father who didn't get a name yet and "Boss" who similarly refused to be named after knowing that Lin's father still has no name.

Like his voluptuous wife lady Bai who treated Lin's mother as her big sister, the 3m tall man treated Lin's father as his big brother and followed every single command to the letter.

The bald monks got dragged by their horny wives to their house to get some fun, sadly the monks had their sexual desires mostly saturated or eliminated when they were told to never push to the base while pleasing their women.

The long dicks could endanger the lives of their own babies in the womb if they acted wantonly, now it was one sided pleasure for the women who enjoyed the slow love making not the endless deep pistoning.

Bald staff was the calmest of the group as he enjoyed pampering his young woman, the Dude actually fell in love with her and learned much from watching the toothless pervert thin man old Ba and Boss treat their women.

"Heh, who would leave their birthday party to train? Only an idiot like you would prefer sweat over fun."

Lily arrived on her little scooter that she just received as a birthday gift and moved circles around Lin as he did splits and bridges to check his flexibility limits, actually Lin wouldn't be able to do anything but a tiny part of the PUMMA Manual for now he'll be doing beginner class routines to lay down Strong Foundations for himself when he advances on the Techniques and starts to do Strength and Power training.

Emphasis on Flexibility, Speed and Agility will be the focus for the days to come, later Endurance and Stamina will be added to the training menu then Sheer Power and Force will be the last to arrive under the spotlight for young Lin's to focus on.

"Won't you start your physical training? It will be a waste if you didn't."

Lin asked Lily as he stretched himself backwards and formed a perfect bridge with his body, he kept watching her upside down image circle around him as he asked.

"Whenever I feel like it i'll do it, right now I'm focusing on the strands. Mom and dad already know everything that should be done about the new Tiger Hall and it's management, the community is relying on them more and more these days which leaves me room for taking care of my business."

Lily shrugged and left to search for little Lao to play with him after replying to Lin, her words weren't compatible with her actions which made Lin shake his head and turn his attention towards his motions as he started the very basic training of the PUMMA Manual.

Run, jump, sidestepping, rolling forward and backwards.

His training varied from day to day as he sometimes had to climb an artificial wall, train his internal organs by doing cardio training or holding his breathing repeatedly for a whole day in measured depth underwater.

Summer heat passed with it's scalding days and breezy Autumn replaced it with it's blowing wind, Lin had been training his physique for almost 4 months now.

The more he trained the thinner his Body became as his Baby-Fat started to burn under the young boy's diligence, the records of Lin's top scores in every Technique or Training Menu were replaced daily and the monitors in the training grounds showed the numbers to the older kids whom felt the danger from the bright kid who just started to train a few months ago.

After the Tiger Hall's creation it was the joint training ground facility's turn, those who seek to claim their own Tiger Cub in two more months thorough physical capabilities were giving it all they got to be one of the top in their age limit.

Since all had access to the ranks and performance of all the people who ever train their bodies, the youngest kids felt threatened by Lin's accomplishments and only found comfort in the fact that he has the best Tiger in the community which is Sun.

Despite being relieved from the worry of having the young boy taking their place in owning a Tiger Cub because he had one already, the youngsters still hated having a younger kid beat their records while they already have the age advantage.

In the first month Lin's gap between him and the youngster's records were narrowing clearly, then as if injected with steroids the older kids again widened the gap by working harder on their trainings.

After slacking and taking their training sessions as a source of fun ever since they started, now the boys and girls were taking this thing seriously after Lin appeared on their radars with breakneck speed chasing their tails.

The infectious youth group made the grown-up's blood boil with competitiveness and the whole village started to do better in whatever they were responsible for, unlike before when they started to enjoy quality time the villagers would try to earn more contribution points instead of wasting time fooling around.

The whole village was waiting next winter impatiently to see the luckiest three and hoping to be one of them, while doing their best to be the second luckiest and receive their Cub from whomever idiot to waste the chance.

Sun left again to go on a stroll around the village territories, and Lin made the builders make him specific tunnels in case he met a foe he couldn't beat.

Which is unlikely!

Now that it's almost a year after Sun ate that strange black and grey ball he changed completely, Lin heard from the sentinels guarding the boarders of the village that Sun's ferociousness increased dramatically after his return with Lin from the long journey.

Even the Tiger's orangish-yellow fur turned deep red after a few months of their return, now he was blood-red with black stripes and his young Cubs inherited some of the red shade on the roots of their furs as well.

Only the Female Cub which Lily named it Star was like her mother with snow-white fur in black stripes but when taking a close look the roots had slight redness as well, Sun grew another two meters and sitting on his neck Lin would feel like sitting on a three story building.

Correction, a very lethal three story tall animal.

As he gasped for breath while checking his new record of jumping the hurdles displayed on the monitor to the side and the indicator pointing out his superiority to the youngest kid in this 200m race, that was the first time Lin surpassed the records of anyone and it felt good to beat another kid's record.

Especially since he's older.

No surprise there, the kid called Yan arrived with his droopy shoulders and pouted lips as he lowered his head.

"Lin congratulations on beating my record."

Young Yan was older than Lin by two years at most and had a scar on the back of his left hand that resembled fire, that's why Lily recommended him the name Yan and the boy liked it.

He was an orphan and Boss found him in his young age of two, his mother and father's cave got attacked by a snake with exaggerated proportions and the parents perished alongside it.

When Boss told Lin that he found Yan's father squeezing the snake's head in a death grip after getting bitten on his right shoulder, while the mother who got entangled by the snake's body which coiled around her got mad enough to use her teeth in her rage to protect Yan and severed the snake's thick body.

Boss said they found Yan covered in the gore of the snake and trying to awaken his sleeping parents by slapping their faces as he cried, Lin's earlier annoyance with the kid for always bothering the only young girl who arrived with him was gone when he heard this tragic story.

"Why do you seem extremely downhearted?"

Lin asked as he handed Yan a bottle of juice then started to get ready for a round of 100m dash.

"You know, they all made fun of me and told me sportsmanship requires the loser to congratulate the winner."

Yan shrugged and drank some juice to quench the feeling of defeat.

"Lily would've accomplished the same, do you prefer if it was her instead of me?"

Lin smiled at the dumb narrow-mindedness of little Yan and asked with a smile.

"No! Hell no, little Sou is nagging me day and night about Lily this Lily that."

Yan seemed to pale in the face at the mere thought then shook his head and seemed very satisfied with the result of it being Lin.

"Listen well Yan, this is a very long race. When you run a marathon especially a very long one, does it matter who's in the lead at the beginning?"

Lin gave Yan a hint then dashed with his top speed towards the end only his short legs and slow feet made his record only 38 seconds, young Yan on the other hand seemed to be enlightened as he watched Lin struggling to reach the end.

He smiled happily and returned to his training with the other kids, this time his back was straight and he no longer was bothered with their jokes.

His hidden frustration was cleared and his Will was stronger, Lin's record only held for a few minutes before Yan taking it back with a difference of a couple split seconds.

Then Lin received another sudden visit during his training and this one was considered a very late arrival to the community, the young man with vicious eyes was called Shou and he arrived with the third batch of people in the beginning of spring.

Lin considered him the successor of old Ba in the dominance of the agility class, Lin's father found his match in speed and the man was at most 16 years old!

He arrived with 8 others after the exploratory team found them in the far north of the village, Shou had 4 sisters two being slightly older and they too were twins the other two were younger and the youngest was nearly the same age as Lin and Lily.

His mother and father weren't his biological parents and they said that they only found Shou in his youngest age living amongest a group of wild dogs! Yes the reason this kid is so agile is because he's very relaxed in running on all four.

He was one of the strangest in the community despite there being "Quite a Lot" in this gathering.

Whenever he isn't in a scouting mission the young man would come and spend time watching Lin training, but he would be extremely excited when Lily is there to make fun of Lin.

He would laugh loudly and grin from ear to ear, even clap with his hand like a child sometimes!

"Hey Shou."

Lin greeted him while using his hands to hold the next bar as he swung his body ahead like a monkey on the horizontal ladder, he kept smiling as he watched Shou check everywhere for Lily with his eyes.

"Goodnight Lin."

Shou answered as a disappointed look covered his face when he found Lily nowhere to be found in the premises.

"It's good afternoon, I'm surprised by your terrible memory as usual. Never saw someone master the language as fast as you amongst the outsiders yet your Forgetfulness is unequal amongst the rest, maybe Lily will fix you up in the future don't worry. She always takes care of her minions, especially one of your caliper."

Lin corrected Shou and used the knots on the rope at the end of the trial to descend while sighing at his record which wouldn't get better no matter what, then he started to make fun of thick-skinned Shou as he offered the young man a sealed bag of his favorite dried meat.

"Thanks, little son Lin."

Shou gladly accepted the gift then opened the seal and stuffed his mouth with a few pieces of spiced dried meat, but instead of thanking Lin he cursed him by calling him Son instead of brother.

Lin ignored the young man's antiques with his strange way of speaking and took it in stride, finally Shou told Lin why he came this time -other than enjoying watching Lily mock Lin for every breath he takes- to ask about somethings which made it difficult for Shou to run fast on two legs.

"This here is the cause of balance this is the center of balance and the feet are supporting the whole weight of the body, still I doubt you'll understand that. The reason you're not as fast as when you're running on all four is because you're not using your two hands, but that's not all. Your form is not good, you're always bending your knees while keeping straight back as you run which makes your movements awkward and unsuitable for our skeletal build try leaning forward until you find the best angle that makes it comfortable for your body to run. Legs like a springer absorbing force from the ground and making it travel in the muscles as we stretch we add by pushing the ground for more speed, see these toes you're not using them properly."

After Lin watched the young man awkwardly run a few laps around the track he stopped him and patiently told him how to correct his form, Lin and Shou both continued to train for a while until one of Shou's younger sister's called him to join the family for a meal.

"Snort, Dummy."

Lin's acute sense of hearing picked up the little girl saying that faintly and took it as she reprimanding her foolish big brother, unaware of the disappointed look the little girl was giving him right now.

Sitting on his minicar Lin headed back home after reaching his limits, he soaked his body on a special reinvigorating herbal medicine tub in the open area at the back garden resting his body and watching the clouds for a while before closing his eyes to continue his Soul training.

"Hohohoho, pathetic Great Sage of endless barren lands behold and sink into despair, as usual your uselessness has no limits while only I the most important individual can accomplish anything with a snap of my fingers if I shall."

Lin was rudely pulled out from his moment of tranquility, first he felt a very heavy and shiny asteroid approaching him from afar despite being in his own inner space which his body acted like a blazing fire or a glaring light in this absolute darkness, he still felt it drawing near and even felt a few attempts to invade deep and gaze upon his inner Soul.

But it seems like the Soul Energy of the invader was weaker than Lin's own Soul and the attempt failed to even cross Lin's very first defensive lines, then the annoyingly arrogant sound of Lily's high and mighty act rang in Lin's head as she used the Soul Link Technique to send him her message.

Opening his eyes Lin saw Lily sitting on a very cute but majestic Golden Throne, it was actually two Golden Phoenix Wings as her seat and their tail feathers as her back rest their two heads as her arm rest and their outer wings flapping slowly to keep Lily afloat steadily in front of Lin's eyes.

As Lily smirked while gazing at him from 1m up Lin felt scratches of envy creep up on his belly but he hurried to ignore them and got up from the medicinal concoction bath to circle around Lily's two floating Golden Phoenixes and study their life-like shapes, Lin noticed the four eyes watching every movement he did as he circled these real alive mythical creatures and he felt some strange connection with the two birds as he exchanged gazes with the two pairs of eyes.

When he touched their feathers he felt like touching real gold and the two Phoenixes shined brighter at his touch and Lin's own Spirit Wings revealed themselves voluntarily, as if two friends who didn't meet in a very long time met each other by chance after many years.

Lily's Golden Throne started to glow with the glaring yellow light while Lin's wings started to accumulate more of the golden color on their feathers, the twins were staring at the strangeness of the two Spirit's unexpected ritual go on for a few minutes silently before everything returned to normal.

"Your Spirit just admitted it's inferiority to mine, just the fact of me being able to control my Spirit once I awakened it is enough proof of my superiority."

Lily placed one leg on top of the other and rested in her Throne lazily then said while drumming the head of one of the two Phoenixes with her fingers, said Phoenix closed it's eyes slightly to enjoy the love of her master!

"How long do you think it will take you to reach the next Soul Realm?"

Lin didn't bother to argue with someone like Lily because the word sore loser is considered complementing her, she was way beyond that level.

Maybe shameless loser would be slightly fitting title for her!

If Lin couldn't control his Spirit after becoming a Soul Seeker while Lily could, doesn't mean she's any better, the fact that he's a few months quicker in awakening his Spirit and a lot advanced in Soul Cultivation speaks volumes of how much stronger his Spirit seems to be compared to hers.

It penetrated the ceiling of his room after one flap of the wing, not to mention there was 7 layers of upgraded concrete formula behind his ceiling which Lin's wing sheltered him from the danger of crashing into them head first on his very first attempt to fly.

He asked Lily because as his Soul Cultivation rised higher he kept feeling something buried deep within his little sister's body, now that her Spirit was awakened he felt that thing buried inside her disappear.

Lin concluded that his feeling was related to her unawakened Spirit and didn't get nosy enough to ask.

Jin Bao, Sun, Moon and Lin all felt the same and couldn't uncover the secrets without having to alert Lily of them being aware.

Unfortunately that secret will be revealed the very same day Lin left this Land of Forgetfulness, only Lin's father will see that secret when Lily stepped up to give a mild warning to some unexpected guest who paid the village a sudden visit.

"I just became a Soul Seeker, if it took you more than 4 months without any success despite your effort then with my busy schedule I guess it will take me longer. But I ain't in a hurry, it isn't fun at all to keep grinding. Keep working hard number two, i'll make sure your pathetic image gets removed from these devoted minions. Kakakaka."

Lily waved at the topic as if it was nothing and gave Lin a final arrogant glance before her Phoenixes pushed the air downwards with their large wings to rise up, throwing her final words Lily headed for the village at her top speed and her Throne disappeared from Lin's view when she descended in the center plaza.

4 years 3 months and 22 days, was Lily's record of awakening her Spirit.

While Lin had the record of 3 years 11 months and 4 days.

Two kids!

Jin Bao who had his Soul Fragment trapped inside this mysterious Ring had his Soul wounds healed slightly by the Soul Soothing Stones and watched the Soul Bonding Phenomenon occur with complex feelings, he was happy to witness two freakish geniuses such as Lin and Lily demolishing one record after another but also scared by their potential.

If these two turned out to become Evil Cultivators then the world will descend into madness as long as they live, Lin wasn't a source of worry for the trapped Senior Cultivator but someone like Lily with her Aura of dangerousness and the mysterious shadow vaguely felt around her was the best candidate for a complete disaster if she got introduced to the world of Cultivation.

However, Jin Bao was very surprised by Lin's brilliance.

Not to mention how much the young boy seemed to be talented in Soul Cultivation which was completely against the common knowledge of any Cultivator alive, Barbarians can dual Cultivate and these are the cream of the crop amongest Barbarians.

Cultivators who dapple in triple Cultivation are rare but they still exists amongst Cultivators! Some of them venture this road after reaching the limits of their Solo Cultivation or dual Cultivation trying to seek a sudden breakthrough in their main aspect be that Spirit, Body' or Soul by using the other schools of Cultivation as a supplement to the main.

Yet, Lin was talented in Soul and Spirit Cultivation way before his hidden bloodline started to show results! As a Barbarian Emperor descendant Lin is certainly going to be blessed with a superior physique to any Body Refiner in the Four Continents, that of course is if we excluded Western Continent's Savages.

There is the origin of all Barbarians and The totemic War God Throne and Axe Holding Statue.

Still Lin is certainly way scary than those warmongering simpletons, Jin Bao stopped getting amazed by his endless potential many days ago.

In Intellectual property Lin wins by a landslide, in sheer Will he at worst ties with the very best geniuses of these Barbarian Emperor descendants or any other youngsters in the whole Spirit World, in latent potential he wiped the dirt with the Church of Light Pope's record, beat a very talented senior Soul Cultivator like Jin Bao's record by years and years!

Then Jin Bao watched the kid start training his physique way sooner than he advised him and started to get worry about the kid ruining his bright future before it was represented to the world, again Lin proved that his worry was unnecessary as he did train very hard until he almost reached the breaking point then soaked in different medicinal concoctions to heal his muscles and tired joints.

'Just what scary monstrosity did you find old Jin! Let's just hope he isn't one of these easily satisfied kids who settle for the mundane life after seeing the true ugliness of this world, no matter what I have to shield him until he helps me mould a new Body. Cultivation isn't something which others can force you into or spoon-feed you, he must be willing to venture in and endure loneliness and grief to rise up as a true powerhouse amongst monsters of his generation and those who arrived early and got stuck after reaching the culmination of their hidden potential and refuses to accept their Fate. To forage ahead without looking back in regret, the boy is a kind-hearted person and that weakness will be used against him by his enemies. Sigh, first get out of here, second guide him slowly as he collects the 5 ingredients to remould my body, third Yi Shirong you old dog will watch as I wipe down every single one of your family and Refine their Souls and drink their blood! You'll regret backstabbing your only and last friend with tears of blood and i'll enjoy extracting your Soul inch by inch as you give me the explanation of why did you do it in the first place' Jin Bao thought as he watched Lin meditate and his Soul Aura strengthen after each session.

Even Lin was sure he's not that far from opening the Yintang acupoint and awakening his Soul Eye, inside the imaginary Space of his mind, Lin's Body was no longer invisible and ethereal like when he first started to seek his Soul.

It became exactly like his small material Body with the only difference of the glowing skin making a very large expanse of the dark space light up in yellow Light, like a miniature sun his body was the center of this imaginary universe.

Lily was excited about the second wave of attention given to her by the villagers after seeing her Golden Throne, especially her mother and father.

The grin on Lily's face when Lao called her the best was a sight Lin would regret missing to see it as it happened in the Very far future, still, Lily was slightly annoyed when she saw the expression her mother made when Lao couldn't hold the secret anymore and told them how Lin already having his own Wings way before his big sister Lily.

Lily drenched the excitement of the family and villagers with her piece of news about how dangerous for Lin to use his wings since they're "Uncontrollable" then she took Lao for a round of flight around the village and pinched his cheeks repeatedly until they became rosy for being a big mouth, when she returned Lao kept shaking in his boots at how scary his big sister Lily can be sometimes.

He really felt like she'll throw him down from very high up!

From that day until the awaited day of the Tiger Hall's event, it became normal for Lin to find others stopping by at the training grounds to ask him to show his wings for them to take a look curiously.

Shou's little sister was one of these people who would constantly ask everyday until Lin ended up keeping his wings out all the time as he trains to stop people from interrupting his training sessions, then it became normal and only Shou's little sister passed her days watching Lin train at the end as the villagers became absorbed in their own competition in order to win a Tiger Cub.

Whenever the little Cubs went out to play in the village area, the villagers would give them treats and try to become friendly with them as best as they can.

Even though the monk's previous ferocity were dulled down by the fact that they're currently fathers or expecting their own children, they didn't hesitate to reveal their hidden sharpness and take their arguments to the ring with whomever ridiculed them for hoping for a chance to own one Tiger Cub in this season.

The liveliness of the village before the main event saw boxing, football, basketball, soccer and many other sports and board games competitions.

Unlike before where these people solved it all as they stood with whomever got a bigger fist and stronger hits, they changed into the alternative and the gambling house run by Lily was the all time winner.

The coin system was implemented and the village couldn't get free food anymore, if you're doing your job which is any kind of job you like! You receive money. If you learn from the available knowledge, you get rewarded with money and higher rank in the community.

Then you receive a better job with responsibilities, if you fuck up you get punished with wages deductions and demotions in case you caused a great mess.

The gambling house was the the establishment playing the bad guy compared to the Bank, to warn the community of wasting their money on the pleasures as they have fun.

Those who bankrupt live a while on government support! Plain food and lots of work to make up for their accumulating bills, electricity and other services aren't for free!

Living for a month without food or electricity while others enjoyed the delicacies and facilities was enough for the budding community of villagers to keep a sane mind while they have fun, of course the youngsters were prevented from using the gambling house unless they were 18 of age.

These minor events and the main event itself were of no concern to Lin as he trained his Body according to the PUMMA Manual until he neared his limits without straining his capabilities dangerously, then he would soak his Body and meditate according to his Soul Strengthening Technique.

The early days were the hardest on Lin's tender bones and soft muscles, he spent lots of time resting his fatigued muscles and joints instead of doing the exercises themselves! However the hard days were past him and the tedious days descended and clouded his sight with their monotonous repetitiveness.

He joint and muscles started to adapt but his numbers didn't lower no matter how hard he tried to push himself within the limits of his body's capabilities, his body started to feel lighter and his motions started to smoothen and flow naturally after a whole 6 months of exercising.

As if winter was the season Lin would find his answers, first his chance encounter with Jin Bao then his very first breakthrough in accomplishing every basic training of the PUMMA Manual.

The village residents were clustered in Tiger's Hall to await the young Cubs to choose their partners, while Lin was in his training attire doing one of the PUMMA Manual's basic routines again and again seeking to find the feeling of force traveling along his muscles as snow flakes fell to cover the training grounds.

From punching to high kicks to low sweeps then over-back toss, elbow stab midsection knee.

The variation and timing for each move would make any competition backpedaling and find no chance to counter as long as they're in the same rank, if their speed is higher they can escape or counter this barrage of hits, if their power and defense is better then they're sure to forcefully try and break away.

Still if they were a grade or two stronger than Lin they can be snared in his trap if they tried to beat him with sheer force, using the opponent's strength against them was a specialty of PUMMA users.

"Speed is much more troublesome to deal with than power for any accomplished PUMMA user" was something said by the best PUMMA user in the universe.

After doing the last few punches and finishing with the backflip flying kick towards the ceiling, Lin back-rolled twice and clawed at his left and poked at his right side after ending up in half kneeling position.

Checking his time Lin found himself only one split second away from failing the basic promotion test, he was his own judge on the Techniques used and maybe if he was judged by one of the Grandmaster Martial Artists of his previous life then he would've been promoted more than a month ago.

Lin was too hard on himself!

He refused the slightest mistake in his motions which had to be precise and fluid according to the instructions of the PUMMA Manual, that's why it took him 6 months to pass the basics of this Manual at the age of 4 and half years old.

As Lin half-knelt there under the falling Snow gasping for air, the long awaited event was about to start as Lily ascended the stairs of the podium while draped in a black dress.

The style of the dress made all the females in the audience stare at it's tiniest details with interest, males however were a lot interested in the three prizes standing obediently in line next to the microphone stand.

Only one person with fierce gaze stared at Lily's small body with a racing heart and hurried breathing! Shou's cheeks blushed slightly then he gripped his fists tightly and seemed to make up his mind on something right now.

"Everyone, before we start the event let me start by saying good job, so far you've made our lives together an enjoyable experience and the amount of work you dedicated is obvious everywhere we look. Give yourselves a pat on the back."

Lily smiled after giving the crowd a cursory look then started to clap after complementing them for their hard work.

"Stop teasing us Lily, you know we know that you're the one who deserves to be congratulated the most. We only work hard to make our children lives better, while you and your family work hard to pull us from the dark clutches of ignorance and savagery. Stop making us feel bad and start sending these Tiger Cubs our way, I promise you we'll keep our skins thick enough and accept each and every single one."

Boss replied as he cradled his daughter on his thick arm and swung her back and forth playfully while his beautiful wife rested her body in his chest and watched Lily's secret dress with a smile, no one knew what was she thinking but Lin's mother had a faint idea what her sister Bai was thinking.

As best friends they'll keep track of the latest fashion and Lily's latest designs, sometimes the two women would corner Lily and force her to give them special treatment by giving them samples ahead of the community.

Now it seems like the little devil was hiding something from them!

Lily noticed the gazes of her mother and auntie Bai which she had some fun with her body for a sweet while before her mother stopped her from resuming such activities and thought : 'Go on glare all you want, from now on i'll treat you the same as everyone else auntie Bai. You refuse to let me play with your body then I won't give you anymore special treatment. Humph, such a waste of a perfect body'

"Next to everyone is a head piece of cloth, everyone wear yours and stay still in your seats quietly. If you have young babies then prevent them from leaving your side during the time these fine tigers choose their partners, I'm sure everyone knows the rest of the rules."

Once Lily said that the crowd calmly sat still blindfolded and only small babies were free to look, the young Tiger Cubs started to roam between the crowd and in 5 minutes the three Cubs sat in front of the people whom they felt closeness towards.

"The selection is over you're free to look everyone."

Lily muttered as she waited expectantly for the look that would appear on the winner's faces, however the thing she waited for the most was the look that is certainly going to surface on the unlucky people's faces.

"Ah!"

"Hrmmm since when was I this lucky? Honey do you see that! Your man's charisma made this little one submit."

"You like me? I'm going to treat you as if you're my grandfather."

Little Yan, Boss and weird Shou found a Tiger Cub crouching in front of them each and staring into their eyes once they removed the blindfold.

Little Yan was scared shitless because his Tiger Cub's face was too close, And the kids bursted out laughing at how funny it looked even the grown-ups couldn't hold their laughter.

Boss was estranged by his unexpected luck and hugged lady Bai's waist closer as he spoke, his sight was the epitome of carelessness as he laughed to the sky.

Shou was the strangest as he started to imitate the Tiger Cub's movements and sniff him back while saying strange things!

The rest of the unlucky residents were feeling sourness in their throats but they weren't feeling very bad to the degree of storming out huffing, the party which followed the selection event saw higher amounts of alcohol being drunk and food being withdrawn from the storages.

Old Ba was clinking glasses with Boss and laughing as he made his little daughter play with his best friend's daughter by riding the back of the Tiger Cub together, the little one didn't mind the extra work for treats and like a glutton he at chunk after chunk of meat.

Yan was surrounded by the youngest generation in the village and he was feeling awkward being the center of attention after being the source of all jokes because Lin would improve his records daily, while Yan was the most endangered by the little freak's rapid improvements because he's at the bottom of the rankings.

As he answered a question after another while feeding his new partner he remembered the time Lin helped him open his eyes to the truth, now he was in a long marathon that will last for 6 months and he needs to do his best to keep this little Tiger forever.

As for Shou he was wrestling with his Tiger Cub and having fun in the snow carelessly, the sight made a certain girl watch his carefree attitude and hesitate whither to join them before her courage betrayed her and she retreated in silence to the gathering of her female friends.

Lily was currently sitting with pouted lips on her mother's lap crossing her arms around her chest and feeling indignant because she was restrained between Lady Bai and her mother, only if she gave her promise to help them into two newly designed dresses can she join the fun.

As Lily watched the young girls clustered to the side and gossiping about this and that without being able to join them she felt her insides tickled by unwillingness before she succumbed to the demands of the bullying duo, under the giggles of her mother and lady Bai, Lily ran for her friends and joined them in getting busy having fun.

Lin's father was enjoying his drink to the side quietly while teasing little Rose's cheeks and smiling whenever she smiled.

Suddenly all those who stood in the Hall, even the animals and babies felt something descend upon them and cover them within it.

Silence!

The sudden change from noisy to silent would make everyone uncomfortable, add the suddenness of the mysterious feeling and it would feel scary.

Utter silence and deathly stillness for 5 seconds before the first person to react awakened the crowds from their daze, Lily riding her Golden Phoenix Throne flew at her fastest speed towards the training grounds.

As the person with the strongest Soul next to Lin she felt it clearly and on a different level, Lily felt Lin's eyes staring directly at her Soul after a sudden explosion of Soul Energy that covered everything around her.

That time she felt weak and insignificant, it was a very unpleasant experience especially after she have been enjoying looking down at her older brother these days!

Which felt better than anything so far!

Seeing him incapable of doing something which she can, was by far the best feeling this little monster experienced since she split from Lin's Soul.

She has to see for herself, what made her feel like Lin is watching her every movement? Even now the feeling wouldn't go away! She feels like a turtle in a jar.

"Your emotions are showing up on your face sis, lesson number one, always stay composed and calm in order to make the right decisions."

When Lily stopped above the training grounds she found nothing but traces of Lin's earlier training session covered in a thin layer of snow, as she looked everywhere searching for Lin his voice rang in her ears and she couldn't find him when Lily turned to look behind her.

Shaking her head to remove the distractions Lily started to doubt herself of hallucinating, she was currently flying while Lin wasn't able to fly yet then she heard the voice of Lin again in her head with his first lesson.

"Did you have your fun yet? You bastard like to bully me that much!"

Finally Lily lost her calmness and stood up on her Throne to shout at the sky full of frustration, the fact that Lin was talking in her ear and not sending her messages thorough a Soul Link Technique meant that he was speaking while being close before avoiding her eyes.

Add to that the feeling of eyes watching her like slow-dead motion cameras all the time, and she was sure Lin already reached the Soul Eye Realm.

"Heh, you're one to talk. It's been two months of you not only making fun of me but also making me look like a monkey in a zoo whenever I come here to train, it's about time you taste how it feels to be a clown. You're just lucky I'm not as petty as you're Lily, otherwise it won't end with you tasting once."

Lin's body appeared in front of Lily in the middle the falling snow from thin air, the two siblings were a few inches apart and each using his Spirit to float in the air.

After gazing at each other for a few seconds it was Lily who broke the silence by jumping from her Throne to cling onto Lin's body, her eyes had a bit of tears on the rims and she was biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying.

Such sight was the exact opposite of how she looked usually, right now she was just a little kid seeking consolation from his loved ones.

Sighing, Lin hugged his sister closely and went back home with a single flap of his wings while never stopping patting her back.

"Not yet, let's keep flying for a little longer please, I know it's tiring to keep using our Spirit for long. Please."

Lily muttered softly as she hid her head in Lin's neck abashedly, despite his tiredness Lin pushed himself and after going a bit higher he glided back down slowly and ended up exhausting his Spirit for the first time since he awakened it.

"What does it feel? Is it really like having complete awareness of everything happening in your sphere of influence! How long can you spread your Sense?"

Lily seemed a lot calmer after they arrived home and kept asking Lin as they soaked their bodies in the steaming water.

Of course the little demon stretched her hand to feel his penis to see if it would erect, She would be delusional if she thought Lin could do such thing at this age and she knew it.

Yet she wouldn't stop testing!

"Sight, hearing and touch in 1km radius around me as long as it's not solid enough or thick enough to impede my Soul Sense from penetrating thorough it then I can see inside every house if I want, penetrating downwards thorough the ground shortens the distance to one tenth of the maximum. Some places it's less than one Tenth of my maximum range, the more I focus the faster my Soul Energy gets depleted."

Lin was looking at Lily's body and checking her inner organs and skeleton with his x-ray vision, after seeing nothing out of the ordinary with her body he smiled because she was seeking the impossible with her attempts to get his tiny penis erect.

"Fuck, now I have to get my own. This seems like the ticket of regaining my very first client."

Lily muttered as she remembered her mother who just forced her in a tactful way alongside auntie Bai to hand one of her designs later.

Lin smiled helplessly at how much this demon was messed up in the head and started to check his Soul Body after opening his Yintang acupoint, Darkness in this Soul Space receded until it was nowhere to be seen in the range of 1km from Lin's body in the center.

The water underneath him was clear and visible for the same depth which Lin could penetrate downwards in the ground with his Soul Sense, his Body itself was material in this illusory Space!

While a Third Eye decorated the center of his forehead!

The Third Eye was vertical and the pupil was silver, unlike Lin's eye color which is Black, inside this illusory Soul Space Lin's two eye pupils were Golden!

So many strange things were going on that Lin couldn't decipher, he tried to call for old Jin Bao many times but he was answered back with nothing but silence.

After that day Lily stopped being a pain in Lin's ass and worked hard on her Soul Cultivation instead of causing trouble for him, she only stopped when she had to take care of an urgent matter in the village or planning one of the future projects with the village board of directors before returning back to her room to seek her Source of Soul Energy.

The Chief of the village was Lin's father and the head of village directors was Lin's mother and her best friend voluptuous lady Bai was her secretary, every household had a member in the board and when the numbers of households exceed the available slots then the elections will be held to determine the board of directors members.

Dear Lin started to learn new routines of the slightly above basic PUMMA Manual and learn new techniques of the Soul Strengthening Technique which he could use only after unlocking his Soul Sense, telepathy was one of them and as long as someone was within his range Lin could keep in touch with him it only needed Lin to leave a Mark of his Soul Sense on the person himself beforehand.

However, as someone who spoke to people millions of Light years away, the idea of staying in touch with people 1km away wasn't making him that excited.

Anyway the village already has connection on a wider radius than that but it was useful to learn this telepathy for our young Sage, later he discovered that if he added the telepathy to his body language readings it became a true mind reading.

The thoughts of others were popping up in Lin's head if he wanted to read them, despite it's usefulness Lin refrained from using it after he mistakenly read one of the clown's minds.

It was horrendous!

Even Lily with all her Darkness would've said : "Sick fuck!" Before leaving and maintaining her distance for the rest of her life from the tall man.

After Yan received his Tiger Cub his personality changed dramatically and his records soared amongest his contemporaries, while Lin was slaughtering the records of the slacking youngster's at the tail of the group's Yan was smiling broadly as he gave training his Tiger and his body all his time.

Shou was the one with the best chemistry between him and his Tiger Cub amongst the trio and Yan behind him in second place, boss was third but his Tiger adored him and surprisingly the Tiger was the fattest Tiger amongst his siblings.

Lin started to spar with the other kids after wearing protective gear, he would be out powered by the other kids and even some girls accumulated a few winning streaks but he wasn't after the win but the experience instead.

Of course if he unleashed his Soul Sense most of the hits wouldn't land and he could even win, but doing such thing would ruin the purpose of the whole sparring experience.

Losing was fine as long as his body got used to taking hits and reacting faster than it is.

The second Soul technique Lin learned after telepathy was a the very first Technique to function despite being outside his range of Soul Sense, Soul Candle was easy and useful to this small community at this moment.

Lin would leave a tiny wisp of his Soul Energy to act as a beacon of Light inside whomever leaves the range of his Soul Sense, once Lin enters his inner Soul Domain he'll see floating candlesticks in the far Darkness outside his glowing area surrounding his strangely material Soul Body living in this illusory Space.

That way he can stay aware of the direction of the hunting or exploration teams, the fires of each candlestick indicated for Lin the status of everyone who received a trace of his Soul Energy.

Despite not being detailed enough it was better than nothing, especially since their efforts to build a connecting network failed because of the monsters in the deeper areas wreaking havock periodically.

Even Sun would turn tail and escape if he encountered one of these large but fast Beasts and hope to reach the escape tunnel before he caught up to him, they were on another level entirely compared to the giant Mammoth!

Now Lin would alarm the rescue teams in case the teams outside required immediate assistance!

Still, the Third Technique on the Soul Strengthening Cultivation Technique was hard for Lin to use right now and made him rest on bed for hours with a severe headache inducing pain and dizziness after trying to use it forcefully.

Twice, Lin was stubborn enough to try again and ended up on his bed for longer this time, three continuous days!

Accompanied by a fever!

Afterwards Sage Lin avoided anymore ventures in new Soul Techniques for now and settled for the three in his hand which he can use, then gave all his excess energy to training his physique with the PUMMA Manual all Winter.

He would meditate to increase his Soul Energy and expand his inner Soul Domain after finishing working on his routines or getting beaten up by other boys and girls in the sparring, still young Sage Lin was amazed at his developed Body at the age of less than 5 years old in the first day of spring.

He was taller than he was at the age of 7 in his previous life, not to mention his toned body with perfect symmetrical muscles.

As he stood in front of the mirror Lin couldn't believe that he was less than 5 no matter what, despite being aware of each and every day he spent since he was Born!

Finally at his 5th birthday Lin was able to win his first spar without using his Soul Sense or superior 6 senses resulting from his Soul Cultivation, now he could stop his different senses from functioning normally and he would rely only on sight as he sparred with others.

The 8 years old girl already punched Lin countless times before in their spars, her ocular faculties were very high added to her refined footwork and light feet and longer reach Lin would always lose by a decision or get his fair share of stinging punches if he hurried to dive into the range of his short reach by the swift girl.

This time he managed to corner her in the last 30 seconds of the second round, then confused her by feinting low and high then gave her a very compact short hook to her delicate chin and watched her as she fell dazed to the soft matress of the ring.

The girl kept looking at Lin as if he was the slyest little kid in the universe, then she hugged him and congratulated him on his birthday party after she saw no reason to keep holding a grudge against him for winning once.

Poor girl kept losing afterwards and Lin's Techniques and footwork kept changing which enabled him to slip in and out whenever he liked, sometimes he'll plant his feet in the center and avoid her punches or buzz around her like the most annoying fly while throwing a combination of even more annoying confusing punches consisting of a mix of weak and strong.

His feints were by far the most frustrating as he would sneakily goad you into swinging to ward him off which ends up exposing some weakness in your guard, or when you try to block an invisible incoming punch which would find it's way through the tiniest crack in your guard.

The variations with the little kid were endless, still, she enjoyed it and her style saw sharp improvement.

But was Lin wasting his days boxing a girl a few years older? Yes! And no, he wasn't only sparring with her, there was others learning different sports and Martial Arts in the younger generation.

Lin would go train with grown-ups or the baldies if he could, only his father was trusted to hold back if they did spar.

The others? Not much really!

After finishing his advanced routines which started to require slower movements while executing them, Lin would tire himself out wrestling or sparring with other kids before returning to meditate.

His Soul Sense was growing larger in radius everytime he meditated, his muscles and joints toughened up as he grew older without losing any of their former flexibilities.

Sun was found out fooling around with Moon secretly in Lin's room, again!

The shameless red Tiger made Moon yelp this time when he did it, apparently the size differed after Sun undergone his latest evolution.

Lily barged into the room after she couldn't concentrate enough on her meditation because of the loud voice while being in the worst possible mood.

The two Tigers had to finish the fun session at a hurry in fear of making the little squinting demoness pissed, that time Sun felt fear when Lily gazed at his long male organ entering her tigress and his dick went soft faster that it got erect!

Grumbling about what happened to Lin as he scratched at the floor, Sun was complaining about his wounded Pride to Lin as he slowly changed between stances while imagining his movements countering enemies trying to harm him.

"Lily is going through a stage of stagnation in her Soul Cultivation, she's too eager to reach the next Realm. You buddy choose the worst possible location this time, I will keep your secret but Lily wouldn't ignore you taking Moon without her permission."

Lin muttered faintly as he remembered how much Lily would snuggle up with him in bed while asking him many different questions about what happened before he ascended to the next Realm, then he turned to the grumpy Tiger and told him with a smile.

"Snort, growl...."

Sun flashed his black claws from his paws then swiped dangerously to cause three long lines to appear on the ground warningly, clearly the Tiger was at the end of his patience and out of respect of his owner he refused to take action against Lily's unacceptable behavior.

As if, hehe. Clearly Sun ran with his tail between his legs out of fear but he wouldn't show it, not even to Lin.

Right now he was trying to use Lin as a protective shield to receive his reward, sweet Moon with her warm juicy..... Cough.

"Alright, stop whining already, tsk. Since when was it that you would need my help with something so trivial, and why wouldn't you do it in your spacious new home in the first place? Huh! You tried but your daughter found out, ahahaha."

Lin couldn't help but laugh in front of the enraged Tiger, finally something snapped inside Sun and he started to chase after Lin like a cat would do to a mouse.

"Oy, know your place! Since when can kittens defy Great Sage Lin's mightiness and awesomeness? If it's a race you're seeking then tho shall not win, like ever!"

Lin found it pointless to keep using his legs to escape and started to get serious, he revealed his wings and kept a 4m between him and Sun as he riled him up to a speed contest.

"Roar...."

Sun was up for the challenge and stopped in place after roaring.

"Your best friend, the most handsome, elegant, eloquent, sophisticated, gentlemanly and last but not least smartest, brightest, intelligent very humble me....."

"Growl....."

"Start...."

"Howl...."

Sun glared at Lin who kept speaking nonsense as he returned to the start line next to Sun, then after Sun lost his patience and called Lin to cut the bullshit and announce the start of the race, Sun found Lin announcing the beginning of the race while staying in place!

When he howled at his friend to start moving from the start line and not to be a spoiler of this fun game, Sun stared wide at his friend who started to disappear into thin air!

"You see little Sun, that thing you just witnessed is called an after image. Let me teach you how it happens, if you're looking at a stationary target that suddenly changes from his static state into dynamic....."

"ROAR...."

As he felt another pout of headache inducing words enter his ears, Sun stopped caring about his friend and ran faster towards the palace at a speed higher than his top speed.

"The eyes play a trick on the mind and delay the true fact of the person who already left, oy, ya listening buddy?"

Sun was lowering his ears as he ran trying his best to stop himself of hearing anymore of what Lin is saying while thinking : 'Just shut up buddy, I don't care and I don't think i'll ever do. All I ever asked for was to have some quality time with Moon, is that too much to ask for?'
