"Not there, Yung Ho run!"
A man on his twenties screamed, he looked on with dismay as a crocodile of three meters in height and five in length was about to beat his four teammates.
On the last second, the crocodile dismantled, as if it was made of assembled pieces. because it was in the middle of an attack it's pieces inertia sen it's sliced parties to different places
Only after a few seconds later, did the blood started to flow out of the wounds.
The man, a blonde, handsome young man regained color on his face, he turned to the side, towards the woman sheating her sword atop of the tree and bowed.
"Thank you, lady Zhun Xuing."
"It's common to be like this after stealth training. To come from a class that focused primarily on the individual, then suddenly be told you have to think as a group. it's two completely different worlds, don't let this setback torn you up, keep looking ahead and don't stop."
The man bowed even lower. and spoke as if it deeply moved his heart.
"I'll keep that in my heart."
He stood up and gathered his other four members to clean up and discuss what just happened.
The foliage trembled beside Zhun Xuying.
"He~ So you're the one Handsome Huang is after. Elder sister Zhun you're quite the charmer."
Zhun Xuying looked to her side, Izumy, Izaya's daughter, wearing a tight stealth clothing, was speaking with a carefree smile.
Zhun Xuying smiled back at her, the girl was one of the most carefree creatures she had ever seen. She knows of everything Zhi Rui did, everything her father did while chasing after her trail. but still, she can laugh a guiltless smile like this in any place. It always amazed her.
"He's not after me, for me. He's pursuing me, for security." Zhun Xuying said while closing the scroll in her hands.
"Ah, elder sister is being too pessimist again. Why can't he just be purely in love with you? put yourself in his shoes, you're one of the most trusted from Zhi Rui, you're too high on the status ladder. Imagine how much courage he has to gather to pursue you!"
The girl said with a shining smile, Zhun Xuying answered with a smile of her own.
"No doubt there is true good intentions out there. And if I hadn't heard his drunk conversation about hooking up with an abused low self-esteem lady who only needed some good caring to fall madly in love. I might've given him the benefit of the doubt."
Izumy stared at her wide-eyed."E-Eh, I-I'm sorry, I-I d-didn't know."
Zhun Xuying laughed at the girl's awkwardness.
Izumy looked apprehensively at Zhun Xuying. "A-Are you gonna get him... you know. killed?"
Smiling gently, Zun Xuying shook her head. "He's a slave of Zhi Rui, not mine, and even if he weren't, to save someone and don't expect resentment is plain dumb. He's struggling for his life, and while he's being useful. there's no reason to kill him."
"Eh, ~~ Elder sister is basically saying that he's beneath resentment. haha."
Zhun Xuying laughed. "You could say that. You have something for me?"
"Oh! I nearly forgot. Here!"
Izumy stretched an envelope to Zhun Xuying.
"Later, elder sister!"
Zhun Xuying waved as the girl jumped off the branch.
She smiled gently. 'Izaya did a fine job.'
She took upon the envelope, She knew it was from Zhi Rui from the moment the girl came in holding an envelope in hand. She barely managed to hold her heartbeat in check as the girl stood there, but she couldn't contain her frantic heart anymore.
She tore off the envelope and looked at the sheet of paper left. She took a deep breath and started reading.
'I promised you vengeance, and you'll get it. You might have some work to do, but I promise that within these two months we'll have a taste of his blood.
It was written very simply. But Zhun Xuying eyes threatened to spill a tear. it was a simple letter. But it was enough to be moved for the simple fact that nobody else had received one.
Zun Xuying thought about what she just said about Huang's drunken conversation;
He talked about making an abused person madly fall in love just by showing some caring.
Zhun Xuying despised him for it, yet she knew that was exactly what Zhi Rui did to conquer her body and mind.
And even though she was aware of Zhi Rui's method. Zhun Xuying didn't mind it.
'When a person uses a shady method but keeps on with genuine action, isn't it okay?' She thought
Realizing that Zhi Rui was the one to personally write the letter. Zhun Xuying suddenly treated it with more care.
She launched her energy around through the wind. When she didn't catch any presence. She brought the letter to her face closed her eyes and tried to find Zhi Rui's familiar smell.
She lowered it down with disappointment. "I guess the desert's arid wind take anything away." She sighed a reopened the scroll of blacksmithing Zhi Rui gave before leaving.
Couple of hundred meters away. Izaya and Shizu watched with surprise as Zhun Xuying brought the letter to her face.
They both stared at each other. Izaya was full of small sword hole in his skin. While Shizu had some scratch on her skin her usual armor was torn apart.
"There's a taste for everything I guess," Shizu said.
"I'm not one to judge, one day my late wife worked through sixteen hours and I still tasted her before she took a shower. it was a well seasoned night." Izaya said.
Shizu twisted her mouth in disgust.

Zhi Rui sidestepped. an inch away from her smiling lips a fist tore through air.
She waved her single arm on a slap.
PA!
"Ah!" Crystal's surprised voice echoed and she was sent two meters away.
Zhi Rui concentrated and heard the sound of a kick tearing through the air towards her.
Rubble was filled with glee he knew his feet were a mere millimeter away from Zhi Rui's waist. He would hit her in full.
But he saw a glint on the corner of Zhi Rui's eyes. a deep cold chill sprun on his spine.
His feet hit nothing. But a firm foot had hit his bum and made him fly five meters away. He fell mouth first on the sand.
The dust settled. Crystal and rubble got up.
They were about to complain. But when their eyes laid on Zhi Rui, they stopped.
Her eyes were in a daze moving as if seeing something.
They didn't say anything, they didn't even move. She was gaining another enlightenment.
Inside her mind, Zhi Rui saw every move the siblings made. Now that she removed their impurities from the poison, their movements were true to nature and undoubtedly strong. Though they were using a set of martial arts that require two people. Zhi Rui could determine how one person should do it.
Zhi Rui caught one specific move and focused on it. She saw on them and turned it to her own martial arts, it was devastating if used as she did.
Zhi Rui settled her breathing and looked above at the sky.
"I'll name you. 'The blessing'" Zhi Rui muttered.
Her eyes cleared, she finally could see the siblings
She didn't mind their clearly irritated mood.
Zhi Rui was in doubt of how to execute it, then she remembered the golden energy threads the siblings make while executing the arts and decide to imitate it.
In a daze, she executed what formed in her mind.
In a clear battle stance, Zhi Rui pulled her feet from behind pulling her knee all the way to her chest. She then used her upper body to increase more weight.
The siblings watched with terror as the kick landed on a normal person's chest level with an absurd amount of destruction behind it.
Boom!
The sand in front of the kick was exploded forward.
The sonic boom was enough to ingrain fear in the sibling and wake Zhi Rui from her enlightenment.
Zhi Rui started gasping like she never had air in her lungs before. feeling the almost empty core energy.
She looked at the clearly afraid siblings and laughed.
"I have some talent for body cultivation after all." Zhi Rui muttered.
"That natural muscle strain..." Rubble muttered.
"It's absurd" finished Crytal.
Zhi Rui looked inquisitively at them both
"You definitely qualify to use the ancient arts!" Rubble spoke excitedly
Zhi Rui frowned
Crystal interjected "It's said the only the strongest are able to cultivate it! all the known heroes from that barbarian history used it, or one of its variations. There's a lot of legends regarding it. But to cultivate it, one needs to have an impossible strong sense of willpower, as well as an inherited resistance. Otherwise cultivating it simply means death.
"How is it compared to your method?" Zhi Rui asked.
"Ours is a lesser variation from it. It was adapted for two people to Have the full strength while sharing the burden of the method. If we share the same inner energy and synchronize our inner core then the backlash from the heavy attacks are shared between us.
Zhi Rui remembers the way they fought and nodded her head.
"Except." Rubble raised his index finger. "The original method didn't have a gold color like ours. To be truthful no one know the color of it, even in history it's not specified. but it's known as an Overlord level method"
"Overlord?" Zhi Rui laughed. "I was taking you seriously until you say that word. Overlord is the level above all levels. that's why its called Overlord.
Methods, weapons, everything from that level is only mentioned in old stories, and folklore."
Zhi Rui laughingly said.
Then it hit her mind. She had discovered the blessing of lust on an old folklore book.
For a second she frowned.
Seeing her locked eyebrows, Crystal grew anxious.
"I-It might not be of that level, but it's registered as the most important and most strong method on the barbarian history."
Thinking about her relationship with the big tribes and how they were more than halfway destroyed Zhi Rui smirked.
" Where is it kept?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Not there, Yung Ho run!"
A man on his twenties screamed, he looked on with dismay as a crocodile of three meters in height and five in length was about to beat his four teammates.
