Yang Dao meditated and restored his own center. While he was immersed in meditation, reaching the point of inner peace. This state was called infinite zero. A human brain was capable of giving birth to unlimited thoughts within a moment. However, he was not controlling them at the moment. When infinite thoughts moved uncontrolled, the human mind could not focus and thus returns to zero.

This zero state of his mind was what letting him regain his grip over the situation. The subtle breeze on the summit caressed his hair. The White Tiger sitting beside him raised her head in tandem with Yang Dao opening his eyes. The boy glanced at her and smiled. The White Tiger nodded her head and asked, "Sire, shall we go to the Kingdom of the dark."

The boy stood up and nodded. He cast a gaze on the wild and wide horizon. The White Tiger glowed with green light and then Laohu Bai appeared in her place. The two people floated in the air and then vanished.

Their destination was the kingdom of the dark. While passing over the skies, Yang Dao noticed the two armies standing in front of each other. He stopped moving forward, and said, "Baibai, do you also feel that the army of the dark kingdom still does not want to stop the attack. However, what is holding them back?"

The difference between the two sides was obvious. While the kingdom of Light had their army standing in discipline and order. The Dark Kingdom's army looked like they were a gathering of thugs and desperadoes. The formations were a chaos.

Laohu Bai said, "The reason that they are being restrained is because of the rules set by the Dao Child, who visited here in the past. The first Dao Child set a rule that once a Dao Child starts taking actions both sides shall cease all assaults. This is a rare period of peace for the two armies. The two kingdoms have almost half their population forced into battle. While the kingdom of Light follows the commands of the Dao Child obeidently the dark kingdom follows it with force."

Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by force? Do I need to beat them into submission?"

Laohu Bai smiled and said, "Indeed, since you are entering their kingdom from the side of the light kingdom, you are needed to show them the strength to make them fear you and only when you have defeated them will they all willingly follow your words."

Yang Dao sighed and asked, "Do I need to defeat them all? Their are thousands of people. How am I supposed to fight with them all?" he was not afraid of fighting but dealing with such a big number was too much for him at this moment. After all, he only had one element under control."

Laohu Bai smiled and said, "Take out the imbalanced in the army if you wish for. The balanced already follow you."

Yang Dao nodded and descended to the ground. He was very decisive to descend. Laohu Bai delayed for a moment as she mumbled, "Now is the time you earn the experience for actual combat."

She had deliberately asked him to fight with the army. They had to fight in the palace of the Dark Kingdom. But the king of the Dark nation was a battle hardened man, and he was not someone Yang Dao can face from the get go. That is why Laohu Bai encouraged him for this method.

...

Yang Dao slowly floated in the air between the two armies, The army of the light kingdom knelt on the ground. With a wave of his hand and the whole army suddenly felt as they were being blown away by the child of chronicles. However, they were all just pushed to stand up.

Yang Dao faced the army of the dark kingdom with his hands behind his back. He said, "I heard you all want me to prove my strength to you?"

The army of the dark kingdom was surprised and then the chaos erupted. The whole army exploded with the chants, "Fight, Fight, Fight."

The chant was as if the skies thundering. Yang Dao nodded and said, "Very well."

He landed on the ground and his figure flashed. He was already in front of the first line of the army. He started to fight with his normal strength. His fists landed on the temple of a Dark Troop, knocking him down perfectly. Then he began to fight, without using his source energy or bending the elements.

He skillfully used the principals of hard and soft on the people he attacked and those who attacked him. The whole thing surprised the army of the light kingdom. Laohu Bai stood on the ground between the two armies. She said, "Your left fist is lacking power, make it compact.

She was coaching the boy in his skill with the hands. Then after Yang Dao had taken down the first hundred or so down, he encountered a strong enemy. The person on the other side saidm "Step back, I would like to duel with the emissary of the heavens."

Yang Dao looked at this man and found that his attire was a little different than the rest of the people. He asked, "Are you an officer among them?"

The man nodded and said, "You have a good eye. I am the officer among them. I am called is Achilles. How about it? Shall we fight?"

Yang Dao nodded and the man said, "Choose your weapon."

The Dao Child shook his head and said, "Only if you can make me draw the weapon, will I draw it." his voice was calm. However, it looked like arrogance to the other people.

The supporters of Achilles started to shot off their mouth and bad mouthed Yang Dao. Achilles waved his hand and they quite down. The man said, "Very Well, then Let us fight."

With that said his figure vanished. Yang Dao punched forward and with a bang it collided with Achilles' fist. The latter backed off by two steps. Yang Dao also took a step back from the after shock. He never had the habit to underestimate his enemy, and this time he used the source energy in his body to fight with him.

Yang Dao raised his eyebrow. Although, he held his force back, he did not expect the other party to be the same. Achilles on the other side had a similar expression on his face. He also did not expect Yang Dao to be so strong. The two man seemed to have understood their emotions and they started to smile and then the brawl began.

BANG... BANG...BANG...

It was as if the ground is set with explosives. While Laohu Bai nodded in approval, the armies on both sides were surprised and found it unbelievable. Achilles was a man, who could kill a whole platoon alone, yet Yang Dao, a child, can compare to him in power. This was not something they could see daily.

As they fought, Yang Dao started to become stronger. They were using their fists to compare, but suddenly Achilles jumped and tried to deliver a round house kick to Yang Dao. Was it that easy for him to do so?

No, Yang Dao ducked and as soon as Achilles landed, a strong fist made contact with his sides.

BANG...

The strong punch was delivered to Achilles's liver. The next thing was the strong man of the dark kingdom to barf out his breakfast in front of his troops. Yang Dao fought him with patience and just when Achilles took the gamble to hit him down, the boy also took a chance to counter him and settle the match.

After the blow, Yang Dao tok two step backs and said, "Do you wish to continue?"

Achilles coughed and spat out the not so good taste in his mouth on the ground and said, "I wish I could continue, but that last blow almost killed me. Thank you for your mercy, Lord." with the last word he knelt on the ground followed by all his subordinates.

It was not that he was weak, but during the match Yang Dao's strength improved a lot. Achilles was just a high commanding officer of the first front, there were many strong people behind him. He had not yet broken through the third stage of elemental cultivation. That is also a reason why Yang Dao did not bend the wind while fighting.

With this duel the people all recognized Yang Dao's strength and they calmed down. In the past, duel with the normal troops, Yang Dao had subdued a lot of imbalanced people and now that he had defeated Achilles. They had recognized his strength.

Laohu Bai nodded and landed beside him. She said, "Do you wish to stay here and learn combat?"

Yang Dao shook his head and said, "I need to go and read the chronicle in the dark kingdom. The rest is for later."

After all, this was his motive to come here. Not to become a martial tycoon.
