Chapter 13 new life

Hitora, roamed through the forest, he was looking for the iron barked tree. It was said that its wood was a very strong substance. He had regained the ability to summon weapon, but he needed to cultivate enough mana to be able to summon them again.

He also had collected some herbs, he collected the Serpent tongue herb, about 10 of them to be exact. They were quite good at healing, they were popular among commoners, as they were cheap, and effective, and the only negative effect was that it caused a great deal of pain.

A hint of light caught his eyes, he was drawn to it. He eventually discovered it was the iron barked tree. Perfect, now I can train my Iron Fist technique. I had found a martial arts book, the first technique was Iron Fist.

When you punch the Iron Bark Tree, your skin shreds, but will eventually turn very hard. Hitora had wandered through the market for days looking for the Iron Long Fist Techniques. It is said that the punch of Iron Long Fist Master could cut a head clean off.

The book was quite in-depth, the training consisted of five stages. First stage, Bodily Training, Second Stage, Mind Training, Third stage, Qi cultivation, Fourth Stage, Chakra Cultivation, Fifth stage, binding of technique stage. There were a few more stages, but they are shrouded in mystery.

The later stages after mind training were very hard, and only true masters could reach this stage. In countries without magic users, only noble families, which weren’t like these noble families. They consisted of commoners, but they were rich and were highly educated in Martial arts.

One of the best thing about martial arts was that they will be useful everywhere, and no silent stone and can deactivate them.

“Ah, I see you’re busy at work, developing a new technique…”

A Harmless old man in dark blue robes, and with white beard. He held his hands behind his back.

“Huh, what do you want old fart – Hitora smirked, the man looked as if he was from a commoner land, with his mongoloid eyes and such, thus he must know a thing or two about Martial arts – hmm… you know a thing or two about martial arts?”

“Much more than you do, brat, if you want you can use all your magic and what not against me, you’ll still lose, after all you’re just a brat.”

“You want to back that up.”

A few moments later, Hitora and the Old man were squaring up. Hitora assumed an Iron Long Fist stance, but the old man simply smirked, and held his hands behind his back.

Punch after punch was avoided by ease, the old man simply stepped away. Sometimes, he would simply move laterally, and land a kick in the face.

The old man soon got bored and decided to hit the crap out of Hitora. Hitora was obliterated, thus he transformed into Qianlong, even though in this state, he’d managed to destroy one million soldiers, and most likely disable Karna, he couldn’t even land a scratch on the old man.

The old man used a very powerful martial skill, where he sent the power of qi and transferred it to his fist, his entire arm was dazzling with a white radiance, the punch made Hitora vomit blood.

♦ ♦ ♦

The old man had acquired some herbal medicine, and some other high rarity beast, using the herbs he had restored Hitora strength. Hitora woke up to see a peaceful wooden room forged from Iron bark, there was weapons and makiwara forged from Iron bark.

There was many martial art books, explain martial cultivation. From inspection the man had reached a very high level of martial cultivation, probably somewhere in the higher realms, it was a very fine accomplishment for a commoner.

The men from the sanctuary had arrived, and were drinking herbal tea. It was said that the herbs from the common lands were very good for the health.

“Hey, you bastard, what were you doing transforming into your alternate from! It’s dangerous you know.” It was the girl who he had first seen at the sanctuary. Her name was Chunhua, she was from the common lands, and she came for work, her Sixthartian name was Lilth.

She was very pretty girl, with beautiful features, her eyes were usually crimson red, but today she was in a good mood, so they were in an unnatural blue. She dyed her hair blue in order to blend in with the people of Sixthar.

“Huh! It’s not like I can control it!?”

“Wow, you really are useless!”

The old man approached them, he laughed to himself, and he found the bickering quite amusing. It reminded him when he was in his youth. He had a humble smile on his face.

“Hmm… It seems if you have grown close to each other?” Lilth flushed red.

“Don’t say weird stuff, Elder Liu.”

For a while the happiness continued, but it only lasted for a short amount of time.

♦ ♦ ♦

Hitora, who had changed his name, into Qin, which is his Qianlong name, and Aldus as his Sixthartian name. Woke up to the sound of the banging of the front door.

“By the authority of the Sovereign, I demand you to open this door, you disgusting commoners,” said an arrogant voice. It was likely the Sovereigns soldiers, whom were very skilled in magic.

They busted in, but cries of pain was all that left them after Elder Liu had thrashed them with his upper realm martial skill.

Elder Liu, seemingly calmed and composed, escorted his guest onto his carriage, which was carried by a beast he had tamed. Using a very higher level technique, he replicated himself, and captured the attention of the Sovereign soldiers.

They were immediately rushed to the sanctuary. After that they were on track to one of the other provinces. As they were driving on the road – a mysterious arrow pierced through the air, it hit Elder Liu on the back.

He picked it out and threw it back at the target. But it was traced with poison.

He soon feinted, and the carriage flipped over and tumbled into a ditch.

Chapter 16

Another transportation?

Elder Liu! Luckily, I have acquired the blood ginseng that I had found growing on the top of a great mountain. It seems as if the carriage has suffered a considerable amount of damage. Just as everyone exited, the carriage combusted into eerie blue flames. Strange… It’s seems as if someone had casted a destructive spell that made the carriage explode.

Hmm, the mages responsible for this must not be the sovereign! After all, they want us alive, for testing or investigation, right?

“Hitora! Look out.” Screamed Chunhua.

Arrows rained upon the group, Hitora panicked and they found themselves asleep. Where am I? I woke up to see the group of people from the sanctuary asleep, it seems as if we were in an agricultural district.

As my surroundings rendered into my vision, I realised I was comfortably asleep on some hay. I’m definitely in a different country. I can’t recall my memories, but I do remember the girl on my lap, Chandrelle. She was fast asleep, or dead. That’s right, I wanted to revive her – using the sovereign healer. I wonder why the blood ginseng doesn’t work on her.

Now I regained more of my memories, I helped Elder Liu, and fed him the blood ginseng in my bag. Chunhua was with the other members of the sanctuary, the twins, Zhu Yun and his Sister Lang Mei, they were about 12 year olds and they both had bright red hair and striking yellow eyes, they were especially lively.

There was also the rather quiet 15 year old girl, she hardly ever talked, and she always wore a dark cloak covering her face. Her eyes, were like a dragons, it was made of multiple vibrant colours, her face was pale and pretty, but those eyes – they were frightening, and looked as if she had a malicious intent.

Elder Liu awakened, and looked hazily around the farming land. There were houses, in the north that had waterways as driving paths, this was as the river’s there were filled with millions of delicious water beasts. The houses were very worn out, but that was because this land belonged to a rich lord of the land. He made millions of profit from his inheritance of this state.

He treated his subjects well, but deep down, he was just a selfish money grabbing bastard. If he finds out about the new people, he will definitely send them to the sovereign of Sixthar – obviously for a price.

“~Hitora? Are you okay!”

It was Chunhua who had gasped this.

“Yeah I’m fine, calm down.”

Chunhua face turned red, she really cherished Hitora, for no apparent reason. Maybe was it Hitora’s handsomeness? Most likely not. It really is a mystery.

I wonder what I should do, hmm… First of all I’ll gather some information about this place, gather some information, then? Or wait, didn’t I plan to gather a series of mercenaries and infiltrate the Sixthartian government, and acquire the sovereign healers to revive Chandrelle – and maybe restore the Qianlong rights, or even secure a country of my own!

[Huh? I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you in a while, but what you are going too exactly, maybe I should tell you what the purpose of you coming to this world…]

♦ ♦ ♦

I was transported to where I previously met the mysterious girl. In a starry void like room, with a bunch of massive beings looking down upon me – literally.

[Welcome…]

“Um... Hello?”

[You were transported to this world, to destroy all the other players – you see all those celestial beings up there, yeah, they have extremely powerful God Tier characters that are killing each other, but you? You need to secure some land, and some power, an army even. How about you take over Sixthar, I’ll summon another character, that’ll help you, and I’ll even revive Chandrelle?]

“Deal!”

Hell yeah, I’m finally going to see Chandrelle.

[Also make the most of the land you’re in, the lord is not powerful, so take his land and use the riches to make weapons and train all your soldiers…] ♦ ♦ ♦

“~Hitora-kun?”

A gentle, heavenly touch, on my face. It was Chandrelle. I hugged her, I’m overjoyed to see her safe.

“~Hey! What the hell do you think you’re doing – she pushed me far away – oh, sorry for that outburst…”

She gave a look of clumsiness. Chunhua was on the other side of me, she was also eagerly waiting for me.
