Deep within Trampas's mind, a giant golden core-spun endlessly above a giant spirit ocean. The golden core started to slow down and then like a giant egg, cracks on the golden ball started to show and then the golden sphere started to crumble apart. Inside the core, a man could be seen breaking out. He was a naked white man with a mullet. Once the core fell away completely the man stood in the air over the great spirit ocean and looked around like he was confused to be there.

He looked down and noticed he was naked and then closed his eyes. Clothing started to form around him. First a pair of Levi's 501 jeans. Then a black t-shirt with the message, 'If you ain't first, you're last.' on it. Then a pair of cowboy boots formed on his feet. Once he was dressed, he reached into his back pocket pulled out a can of skoal chewing tobacco and took a pinch and put it in his gum, and said, "Now this is what I'm talking about."

Outside Trampas's eyes opened and he let out a deep breath. He stood up and flexed, "I feel like my power before was like a drop in the ocean to what it is now." He stretched and flexed as he got used to his new levels of strength. "System store... I want Hacksaw's 2x4."

The board appeared in his hand. As he held the board he noticed that all the rough edges had been sanded down. The board which seemed to be quite an ordinary 2x4 had years of wear on it from being held in a certain way as it was carried around to wrestling rings all over the world. As Trampas made a practice swing with the board a white light formed around the board which carved a huge hole in the ground.

Yuta who had heard Trampas starting to wake up came inside and saw the hole in the ground and gasped, "That's intent!"

Trampas made a strange face that practically said, 'What are you talking about?'. Yuta chuckled and explained, "Usually you only see intent with weapons like swords, spears, sabers... You know, traditional martial arts weapons. You just used intent with that 2x4."

Trampas shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, man. But the store charged me 2000 points for this 2x4, so I hope it's really powerful or I'm gonna be dead."

Yuta looked concerned and then mentioned, "Wow, 2000 points? My Glock 26 only cost 500."

"Hey, man. What's with the little TW that floats above my Spirit Lake? Is he cool just standing around in there?" Trampas was still grabbing his hand over the 2x4 as he asked.

Yuta chuckled, "That is your Nascent Soul. As your soul grows, you'll be able to create your domain."

"What the hell? And what is a domain?" Trampas looked like he thought this was all bullshit.

Yuta closed his eyes and extended his domain. The area around the two men suddenly seemed to be like a Japanese comic book shop with figurines, manga, toys, and posters all around. Trampas felt like it was hard to move in the shop. Yuta smiled and said, "Do you feel like it's hard to move? That's the effect of a domain. It's a space I am very comfortable in, but other people will find it uncomfortable to even move around. As you cultivate in the Nascent Soul realm, your domain will grow more solid, more life-like."

Trampas thought about it and then tried his domain. Suddenly a small area around Trampas became easier to move around in. There were no visible phenomena like Yuta's domain showed but it was his domain. "Thanks, man. I get it."

Yuta laughed and then said, "Alright, do you think you will be ok now, or do you still need me to guard you?"

Trampas held his hand out for a handshake and said, "Thank you, I appreciate all that you have done for me. This is all pretty hard to accept, but I feel like since I have met you I can understand it all a lot more. You're a good friend, Yuta."

Yuta took his hand and gave it a shake, "Yeah. I know what you mean. It was like that for me too. I can't wait for you to meet the others. Since the Emperor invited them, they will all be here for your wedding. Most of the others tend to stick to their sects where they surrounded themselves with people that they met when they first got here. It's hard to get them out of their comfort zones to come and hang out."

A short distance away Fairy Bai, Zi Chyou, and Princess Chen were getting ready for breakfast. Zi Chyou was carrying a plate of sweet steamed buns when she noticed someone sneaking up behind Fairy Bai. Without asking what was going on she threw the plate of steamed buns with all her strength at the figure.

Fairy Bai saw Zi Chyou throwing the plate at her and instinctively knew someone must be right behind her. Her domain came out all by itself freezing the man behind her just for a moment as the plate hit him.

The man shouted in anger as the plate shattered on his head. He reached up and touched his bloody forehead and then after seeing the blood roared in anger and reached for Fairy Bai. Zi Chyou had closed the distance between them and flew into the man with a flying kick knocking both of them to the ground several feet away from Fairy Bai.

The furious man grabbed Zi Chyou by the neck and lifted her off the ground. Fairy Bai screamed out, "Leave her alone!"

Trampas and Yuta heard the scream and ran over to the girls.

The man laughed cruelly and then snapped Zi Chyou's neck like a twig and threw her lifeless body to the ground. He then pulled out a sword and a white glow surrounded it. He glanced at Princess Chen and smiled, "After I kill your man, you're mine. Maybe I'll keep her too." He motioned at Fairy Bai.

Fairy Bai fell to her knees and crawled over to Zi Chyou's lifeless body. She was just opening her mouth like she couldn't breathe.

Trampas rounded the corner just at that moment. Zi Chyou's body lay on the ground with her head twisted at an angle that showed she couldn't possibly be alive. Fairy Bai's eyes looked as if the life was draining from them as she lightly touched Zi Chyou's limp body. Princess Chen was standing between them like she was ready to fight the bloody-faced man holding a glowing sword.

Yuta came a moment after and closed his eyes and sighed seeing one of Trampas's wives already dead.

Trampas gripped the 2x4 in his hand so hard you could hear the wood strain. He waved the board in the bloody-faced man's direction and a building behind the man collapsed a few seconds after that the bloody-faced man screamed and his arm and shoulder fell off. Trampas walked up and grabbed the man by his head and squeezed it until the man's head exploded like a watermelon being hit by a sledgehammer.

Trampas looked around and noticed a man in the distance turning around and walking away. Trampas shot over to the man like a cannonball. He extended the 2x4 in his hand to stop the man from walking forward, "Excuse me, son. The Emperor sent you here, right? That man was one of your people, right?"

The man simply laughed and pushed the 2x4 away from his face with two fingers, "I suppose if I am from the Emperor, you know better than to get in my way."

Trampas chuckled darkly and then said, "You just killed my wife, and I don't reckon we can be friends."

The man frowned and then extended his domain, "Don't be too proud of that Nascent Soul 2nd layer cultivation, boy. I can crush you like a bug."

A gunshot sounded and then the man fell to his knees looking confused. A bloody spot appeared on his forehead and then he fell dead at Trampas's feet.

Trampas turned around and saw Yuta with tears in his eyes holding his Glock 26. "I never thought the bastard would go after your family, TW, I'm so sorry."

Trampas dropped the 2x4 in his hand and raced over to Zi Chyou's body. His hands shook as he tried to make her look presentable. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He reached out his hand and pulled Fairy Bai's head into his chest and held her. Soon Princess Chen joined them with arms around the two of them and the three of them cried together.

Yuta who felt like he should leave, instead brought some of his sect disciples over to clean up after the battle. No one spoke to Trampas or his wives and just worked quickly and quietly in the background.
