Martial Transcendence

Chapter 16 - Return



"I'm happy right now" the king said.

"What?" everyone was stunned.

"My daughter has been very cold to people since her mother died. But after a long time I saw her shyness, something so that's why I'm happy"

Everyone was silent. The king looked around, seeing everyone stunned, he smiled.

"Ok that's enough battles, let's continue the party" the king said as he called the workers in the palace and told them to clean the hall.

After some time, the workers replaced the broken tables and the party continued. Du Chan was sitting beside Elder Yue, drinking wine. When he looked at the Elder from Frozen Ice Valley, she was also looking at him so he didn't look at her again.

The party ended at noon.

"Your grace, where are we going to have a duel?" the elder from the Ten Thousand Swords sect asked

"Hmm, come with me" the king said and both of them stood up.

"Thanks for attending this party" the king said to all the people in the hall.

Everyone smiled and nodded.

The king also smiled and nodded to all and looked at the Elders and smiled and started to walk to the exit.

All the elders stood up and followed him. Du Chan also stood up but a sect master told him to sit.

"This is a battle between two higher realm warriors, you should stay here and wait for us to return"

Du Chan looked at him with curious eyes. When the sect leader saw his eyes he sighed.

"You can't watch their battle. If even a single wave of their strikes hits then you're dead. So sit here" he said and started to follow the elders.

Du Chan was disappointed and sat on his chair. After some time he heard a loud metal crashing sound, it was their sword. He closed his ears and it was so loud that he felt pain in his head.

3 hours passed.

And the elders and the king returned. The king and the elder's clothes were torn.

Sect master looked at Du Chan and came to him.

"You want to know who won right?" Sect master said.

Du Chan nodded

"Of course it's the king" he said

"Wow" Du Chan was amazed

Everyone already left. Only the elders, the king and Du Chan were still in the hall.

"I'm leaving with my disciple" elder from Frozen Ice Valley stood up, looked at Du Chan and left without waiting for the others' response

"Then I will take my leave too" the elder from Ten Thousand Swords also left, he was already in a bad mood of losing so he left. Only Elder Yue, the sect master, the king and Du Chan left in the big hall.

"What about you guys?" he asked them.

"Haha, I'm not in any hurry to leave" Elder Yue said.

"Me too" the sect master said Du Chan was silent.

"Hmm. Hey kid, come here" he said to Du Chan.

Du Chan looked at Elder Yue, he nodded. Du Chan stood up and went in front of him.

"Y-Yes my grace" he said nerves

"Hmm. You have such talent and strength so here…take this as a gift of gratitude for giving me the best birthday gift" the king said and gave him a ring.

"This….storage ring?" Du Chan was shocked

"Yes, there is some gold and 2 spiritual stones in it"

"This…" Du Chan doesn't know what to do. Isn't it too much to give a storage ring as a gift?

"Just take it" the king said.

Du Chan took that ring but it was a waste in his hands. It was only useful after reaching the Blood Condensation realm

King smiled. And stood up from his throne

"There is a karma bond between us so I'm looking forward to your future," the king said with a smile and looked at Elder Yue and Sect master.

"I will leave now. I have some important things to do. Let's talk later" the king said

"Okay then, we will take our leave too" Elder Yue said and stood up, sect master also nodded and followed Elder Yue.

"Hmm, okay" the king said and left the hall. Elder Yue, sect master and Du Chan, the 3 of them followed the king and left the hall.

King walked to his room in another building and waved his hand to the 3 of them.

Elder Yue called out the eagle. It came very quickly as soon as it heard its master's voice.

Three of them climbed on the eagle and it started to fly.

"Elder Yue, why did the king look sad back there?" Du Chan asked.

"He is always like that when he wins any match" Elder Yue said.

"Why?" Du Chan asked

"No one knows" Elder Yue said.

After some time Elder Yue saw him.

Du Chan was in deep thoughts.

'I should have at least met the princess and apologised properly' he thought

Elder Yue looked at Du Chan and said:

"Don't think too much about it. You should only focus on how to get stronger. If you're strong everything would be alright"

When Du Chan heard him he nodded.

"And the Frozen Ice Valley is very near to our sect" Elder Yue said

"Hoo" Du Chan was shocked and thought

'Then if I have time I will visit the princess later"

"Here take this movement technique, this is named *WheelWind walk* it's one of the best movement techniques in the whole Sky dragon Continent" Elder Yue said and gave him the jade.

Du Chan took that jade and checked it. He didn't understand how to use it.

"Elder Yue, where is the technique?" He asked.

"Pour your Qi into the jade" Elder Yue said.

"Okay" he did as the Elder told, he poured Qi from his dantian into the jade.

Suddenly the jade became bright and information passed into his brain.

It was how to cultivate the technique and he can see that a man was using that technique. He was walking in a strange pattern and started to run fast but he could see it. After watching that man using that for some time Du Chan has little understanding of it.

"Keep that for 3 days and practice" Elder Yue said.

"Elder Yue, why can't we store the technique in a book. Why is it in a jade?" Du Chan asked

"Good question, there are very old jades which were created by our ancestors. I think they thought jade was better than books" Elder Yue said.

Du Chan looked at him. He wasn't satisfied with that answer. Elder Yue looked back at him and smiled.

"Haha, Du Chan, no need for disappointment, ancestors store techniques in jade because it has a special aspect that can store technique for thousands of years without losing anything inside of it" sect master explained.

"Hoo" Du Chan expressed

"And here take some pills it will help you in the sect, we may not meet for a long time and these pills are very expensive so treasure them" the sect master said and gave him some pills and explained their uses.

Du Chan put them in his storage bag and thanked him.

3 hours passed

They reached the medicine sect. It's already evening.

"Stay here tonight" the sect master said. Du Chan had no problem with that so he stayed there and started practicing the *WheelWind walk*

Elder Yue said he needed to practice the technique without using Qi at first so he can have the best foundation for using it. If he started with Qi at first it may cause some problems for a breakthrough in future. So he did as he was told. He practiced it the whole night without sleeping.

In the morning, sect master was not there. He already left the sect at night for some important matters. So Du Chan and Elder Yue both had breakfast together.

"Du Chan we will leave tomorrow morning so go and say your byes to your orphanage and the people close to you. It may take a long time to meet them again" Elder Yue said.

"Elder, I have a brother who is the same age as me but still in the First stage of Body Training...so can I bring him with me?" Du Chan asked.

"No, the sect won't accept people from the realms lower than the last stage of Body Training realm. Hmm, bring him here. He will stay in this sect" Elder Yue said.

"Okay…" Du Chan said.

"Now leave and don't forget to use the movement technique even if you walk" Elder Yue said.

"I understand" Du Chan said.

After saying that he left the sect.

"Ahh...I didn't sleep the whole night… I will sleep sometime when I reach the orphanage" Du Chan said to himself.

While using the *WheelWind walk* technique, his speed was so fast but he would get tired fast. He can reach the orphanage in 5 hours. So he fastened his speed so he can reach the orphanage and sleep.

He reached the North Forest in 2 hours and remembered that he killed 9 guys there.

He saw a beast which was the first tier beast.

"Wow, I only heard that beast meat tastes good. Let's eat that" he said, killed it with a single punch and roasted it nicely.

"Yummy, this is really good. Haha that fatty should eat this, when I move back I will let him eat it" he said and ate that fully.

"This is satisfying, I feel full," he said and resumed his journey.

He reached near the village. He saw the fire filled the whole village.

"What happened?" He increased his speed and reached the village but he was shocked by what he saw.

The whole village was buried in flames. He saw the clothes shop. Heavenly Kings Costumes was buried by flames and the owner of the shop was lying in front of the shop…dead.

He hurriedly went to the orphanage. The orphanage was also in ruins.

The kids in the orphanage were half burned. When he saw the orphanage, Zho Rong's body was lying on the ground. He had a big scar on his chest and Gu Auntie was lying beside him. When Du Chan saw all this, tears started to flow from his eyes and he fell on his knees.

"AHHHHHHH!!!"
