Countless human figures hovered outside the airship which Robert resided in. All of them wore the same outfits as the other. They circled the airship and bombarded it with all kinds of explosive devices, shaking the entire airship.

Still, due to the durability of the airship, it was still stable mid-air. Enabling all the passengers inside to prepare for the worst case scenario. According to the announcement. All the passengers must gather in first section and those people who are cultivators must go to the second section.

Robert broke a cold sweat as he ran towards the direction of the second section. Because Sahhad wasn't a cultivator. He ordered him to go to the first section. Amidst the flashing lights. Robert safely arrived inside the second section.

The once lively and ruckus filled second section was now desolate. The merchant stalls' merchandise were nowhere to be seen. The exotic flowers gathered near the goddess statues also disappeared.

Among the cultivators who gathered. Robert was the youngest. All of the people gathered were at least twenty and above. Upon arriving, disdain gazes was the only thing that Robert received from the cultivators.

Ignoring the hate from the nearby cultivators. Robert silently descended. Among the people inside. A person silently approached Robert and asked. "Kid, from what sect did you came from?" A muscle filled person donned with an iron equipments huffed.

"I didn't come from any sect, I'm just a lone traveler." Obediently and respectfully replying, Robert slowly said.

With Robert's reply, The nearby cultivators pierced him with gazes of envy. How could a fourteen year old youngster become a seven star cultivator? Such questions filled their minds. That's the reason why the muscle man asked him with such a question first. They thought that Robert was a genius that came from a major sect.

In the topic of sects. In the whole Yoke Continent. Four major sects are present. The first is Skycloud Sect from the Xianxia independent countries. The second is Undying Sect from the fourth duchy. The third is the Ionic Sect from the Trinity Empire and the latter is the Azure Cloud Sect.

Their branches are scattered across the whole continent so it wasn't weird for a random genius from some sect arrives in such a marvelous airship. And the issue is, he was a seven star cultivator! Robert's reply was unexpected among the cultivators gathered, and as a consequence. Robert constantly received fierce hateful gazes.

So what if I'm not from some major sect? Can't a young person like me become a cultivator? Robert steeled his mind with this questions. His unyielding attitude moved him forward towards the center of the second section.

A man wearing a tuxedo stood on the platform. He constantly arranged his clothing and as if ignoring the current peril, mirthfully smiled to the approaching cultivators.

The muscleman's eyebrows frowned, How could such a carefree person be here?

"Welcome, Cultivators from various areas!" The tuxedo man coolly said.

"Hahaha, as you currently know, we're under attack by air pirates! I just want you to know that you must defeat those guys, and after! Hahaha, Of course, plenty of rewards will be given." The man changed his tone and emanated an enthusiastic vibe as if wanting to see a blood bath.

"Hmmph..." A woman, one of the gathered cultivators snorted, She then arranged her hair in order and said. "Those air pirates are nothing, I can handle them myself." She coolly said.

"Ohoho, So you're that strong? " A man with a one eyed glass stepped up and intriguingly said. Robert just gasped some air and kept himself silent.

"Hahaha, Of course all of you are that strong! But as you know, those pirates are very ruthless, very ruthless! So that's why you need to cooperate and kick their asses together! The reward will be the same for all of you." The man on the platform sighed then descended. He then waved his hands and a wooden slip flew towards every cultivators gathered.

Robert took the talisman midair and sighed. "Hmm... So if anyone happens to plunder something from those pirates, the rewards will be doubled?" Robert's eyebrows frowned as he placed the talisman in his spatial ring.

"Hrmmphh..." A man clearly cleared his throat. All of the cultivators looked towards the man. The man then stood up again on the platform and shouted. "This task starts now! You may use any underhanded means of pillaging those bastards! Go!" With a wave, All of the cultivators bursts forth towards the emergency exit.

Robert just sighed and waited until the stream of cultivators cleared up, same as the muscle man who asked him a question earlier, he also waited until all of them are outside.

"Kid, What's your name?" Eyeing Robert's careless visage, The muscle man arranged his posture and sparked up a conversation. From Robert's gazes, this man was just an eight star cultivator. One step away from him.

Even though there was a gap in strengths. The muscle man carefully chose his tone and prevented himself in provoking this youngster. Better safe than sorry.

"Robert." With a smile, Robert disappeared to the outside, his voice echoed around the silent second section. The tuxedo man also enigmatically disappeared leaving the muscle man alone.

...

"Brother! Some cultivators are pouring outside the airship! It seems like they're gonna fight!" One of the floating pirate exclaimed towards the figure before him.

"Huh? Calm yourself, Xin! Those guys are nothing before my ultimate technique!" The man coolly said as he spawned a broadsword. He then transformed to a blur and intercepted the stream of cultivators. In that instance, He was immediately interlocked in an intense melee battle.

Xin sighed to himself and adjusted his distance, with an incantation. A fiery transluscent marking appeared and with a wave. A huge fire dragon sprouted. Aiming towards the stream of cultivators.

As a response, A feminine cultivators waved his hands in a gesture and a green shield appeared before her, encapsulating the fire dragon until its fire extinguished.

"Strong! At least nine star! But still not enough!" Xin inwardly thought to himself as he gestured towards the air, with a simple wave of his hands. A fiendish black qi spread towards the air, harming the every pouring cultivators, but sparing the air pirates.

"Black qi? Poision?!" The woman who extinguished the fire dragon exclaimed in surprise, She didn't thought that the air pirates are capable of utilizing poision. Poison are after all, a complicated process of commanding the elements.

"Hmmph! Just a simple poison, what the hell are you chickening to?!" A neatly clothed man bellowed and snapped a floating talisman. The talisman then emanated a purifying glow, and the fiendish black qi dissipated with its shine.

"Holy element?! This sucks!" Xin flew backwards a great distance while gesturing in the air. With the wave of his hands, a ripple struck in great speeds towards the woman. The woman coughed a mouthful of blood, and fell towards the ground.

"Ah! Xiu Ying!" A man howled, and utilized his strength to the utmost limit and clutched the falling woman, He then fiercely activated his battle qi and waved his hands, with his gesture, the fierce battle qi encircled his palm and projected a huge beam of pure battle qi.

The beam targeted the panic stricken Xin who was desperately gesturing a protective spell. "What the hell is with this guy?! He even know battle qi manipulation in such a degree!" Emotions of regret filled his mind as his protective spell activated, even though he can evade, he chose not to do so since a battle qi manipulator can freely change the trajectory of his spells and follow the escaping target.

*Boom!

A huge explosion followed by a huge ripples of the natural element emanated, Xin coughed a mouthful of blood as he flew a great distance backwards, Six of his bones were broken and his protective shield barely held on.

"Xin!" The figure carrying a huge broadsword stopped his onslaught and pursued his falling brother. With his flight, the airship finally was able to spew out a green protective shield. Preventing further explosions.

"You idiot! Why did you leave your post in attacking?!" Xin who still flew backwards cursed, Because his brother left his onslaught, the formation they created beforehand fell. Enabling the airship to spew out a huge protective cover.

This protective cover was something that they cannot easily break. That's the reason why they raised their fierceness in this attack. To prevent the airship in spawning hard protective barriers. But now their plan failed. Because of his brother, their plan failed.

"Brother!" The man flew with his great strength, In a span of four breaths, He finally clutched his brother Xin.

"You bastard! Why did you left?! Damn it!" Xin gritted his teeth in anger.

"Brother! I wont let you die! I just wanted to protect you!" His brother pleaded as the two stopped flying backwards.

"Ughh. Now you've done it! Our comrades are dying there and you're still trying to save me?! Everyone dies in the battlefield! That's natural! If you can't siphon that thinking then piss off!" Xin clutched his fists in anger. He then circulated his battle qi in preparation of setting off towards the bloodied battlefield.

His brother didn't respond, his eyes filled with all sorts of emotions that he himself didn't understand.

"Ursa Major: Locking Star!" Xin once again coughed a mouthful of blood as his spell activated, With his bellow, small pale blue light dots filled the air before him, The pale blue light seemingly formed a familiar constellation. As they soared the skies, invisible ripples of the natural element spread apart the area.

The fierce pale blue light howled towards the bloodied battlefield, aiming for the life of the cultivators making their stand.

With a span of ten breaths, the spell already reached the battlefield and exploded forth towards the man carrying a woman.

"Shit!" He noticed the spell coming, but he was late. He could only curse as he circulated his battle qi in protecting Xiu Ying.

*Boom!

A monstrous explosions rang forth inside the scorching battlefield. Smoke spread apart from the area of the explosion. As the smoke cleared up, A broken sword and an indistinct figure floated in the vicinity. He gave off an awe inspiring aura as the ongoing onslaught stopped.

All of the fighting cultivators glanced at the area of explosion. Xin's face became filled with all sorts of emotions, "I-Impossible!" He could only stutter as he watched he youngster's face smirk.

The youngster waved the smoke around and said. "Are you okay, Fellow Warrior?" His tone coolly.

"Ah! Th-thank you! Fellow Warrior! I wont forget this kindness!" The man clutching the peerless beauty stuttered like he was struck by a sudden epiphany. As he gave his thanks, seeds of respect bloomed in his mind as he watch this youngster smile.

"No problem, Fellow Warrior. Please retreat to the airship and treat her. " With a smile and an indifferent tone, Robert said. He then faced the battlefield, raised his sword and exploded forth towards the bloodied Xin.

His smiling figure arrived in front of the broadsword wielding man in the span of several breaths, Brandishing his sword down. Robert activated his battle qi and slammed.

*Boom!

An awe inspiring explosion rang forth, not just once, but countless times! The two are interlocked in an intense melee battle as ripples from their battle spread apart. With Robert's slash, The natural laws seemed to ripple.

The man gritted his teeth as he desperately defensed and shouted. "I'll take care of him! Brother, You retreat!"

"Hmmph! Getting distracted in a fight is quite boastful!" With a bellow, Robert's artifact slammed towards the man's broadsword. The man circulated his battle qi in full force and managed to defend himself and prevented the broadsword from cracking.

But that wasn't Robert's full slash, He smiled and pressed down. Spreading cracks on the broadsword as the man's battle qi grew faint.

"Damn it!" With his howl, the broadsword fell apart and the man instantly flew backwards, preventing himself from being split apart with a small margin.

"Hmmph! You're quite strong, but still not enough for me!" Robert smiled and paved his way towards the gesturing man.

Near the airship, countless conversations about Robert's identity already sparked in life. Murmurs about him being a member of a major sect, some even speculated about him being a wandering vagabond with great strength. Although all of them didn't hit the mark. If Robert heard their conversations, He would surely laugh his ass off.

"Hmm... That youngster. Quite interesting. His cultivation base emits the aura of a seven star warrior yet his current strength is far off. Intriguing indeed." Inside the first section of the airship. The owner of the airship, the man who wore a tuxedo and stood on the platform murmured, He himself was mesmerized by the spectacle happening outside.

"I wonder if he's going to the Institute of High Magics." The man smiled and fell to deep thoughts as he arranged his mind in order.

"Damn it! You bastard!" With a gesture, the wind around the surroundings howled and formed a small tornado. The man gritted his teeth and with his gesture. The tornado forced its way towards the approaching Robert.

The wind rummaged and the surroundings rippled as Robert approached in great speeds. He raised his hands up, ready to brandish it down for a downward attack.

The tornado surging towards Robert absorbed more winds from the surrounding. From the time it arrived to Robert it already became a deadly whirlwind.

"Imprudent bastard!" In the middle of the whirlwind. Robert's flying figure wavered, he seemed to be disturbed by the whirlwind.

"Dispel!" With his inward thought, the broken sword on Robert's hand emanated a fiendish black light as it covered the whirlwind, turning it into a deadly black whirlwind, but after awhile. The whirlwind dissipated and the surroundings immediately calmed. As if the whirlwind didn't existed.

"M-Magic Cancellation?!" The tuxedo man gaped in shock as he intently watched the dissipating whirlwind. "And It's a high leveled one!" His mind, without his knowledge, sprouted a small inspired thought, planted deep within his subconscious.

"Y-You!" The man could only point in shock, his cultivation base was already drained, he could only muster enough strength to prevent himself from falling down. Thoughts of begging for mercy came to his mind. But he didn't even do it, he can't fall on his knees and plead for mercy to a young kid. That would kill his pride inside.

And so, the logical consequence would be.

"You bastard!" With a wave of his hands, A replica of the broadsword that shattered appeared. But still, Robert didn't waver at the least, Instead, his speed exploded.

The man went crazy as he desperately raised his hands, Veins popped in his arm as he mustered his strength to do a downward slash, but in that instant. The world turned upside down.

The man's neck sprayed blood everywhere as his head came off. With a clean slash of his broken sword, Robert cleanly sliced the man's head. His head flew downwards and disappeared to the vast trees.

Robert cleaned his broken sword by waving it around. He then turned back with a grim smile, His scarlet eyes engraved to everyone's eyes. They will not be able to forget the sight of the ruthless youngster named Robert.

Since the Air Pirates' captain died, The remaining pirates exploded in retreat. They even threw their weapons to prevent extra luggage in holding them down.

"Don't let them escape! Capture them!" The man Robert previously rescued shouted. With his bellow, the astounded cultivators sprang to action. Their task is to capture as many pirates as possible.

Robert arrived in a few blink of an eye and glanced towards the floating man carrying a peerless beauty. His scarlet eyes then grew transparent as his consciousness dissipated. With the man's shout. Robert fell down on the vast trees.
