Life 10: The Foundation of Cultivation

Looking straight at her he said- "Stop messing with me Lan Lan- he's too old to begin training-"

But with her incessant no's he finally walked over to Adam and with this step, he began to feel that unique aura that appeared when Adam broke his engagement with Shen Fei-

"This aura- I can tell that you've never done any intensive work in your life yet your body is filled with Zhen Qi- you were right Lan Lan- Uncle was wrong this boy is indeed a genius."

"Since you've come with Lan Lan it means you have accepted to join and this means that you will have to take a little initiation test- remember now 'Crouching Tiger' will be something difficult to remove yourself from so get ready for your new job Adam Li!"

"My Name- you?"

Hearing that the man called Uncle Fang laughed a little as he said- "Little Lan told me about you- don't worry I didn't read your mind."

Smiling a little Uncle Fang took out a book from a cupboard behind him- "Here this is the first technique you will have to master- a breathing technique if you will as a foundation and once you've mastered the technique the book will burn signifying you've learnt it.

Now go with Lan Lan- to prepare for the test in two days-"

And as he patted Adam's back with a smile the two left as in the room only Uncle Fang remained as he began to laugh in the empty room-

"Hahhahahahahah"

"It seems that my branch is ready for another powerhouse- Little Lan did well!"

As morning came Adam woke up with a little sigh as he washed up before heading to school and repeated his usual lifestyle- making some breakfast before he began his trek to school as his breakfast ended-

Adam made his way through the familiar streets as the schools cherry blossoms flew through the gates and around the skies with unrelenting serenity.

But this serenity was forcefully broken as a long-haired ikemen stood near the gates as if awaiting his arrival and as soon as he saw him-

Adam realised just who this was- "Su Yan- what are you doing here...?"

Asked Adam as he stared at the bully that tormented his predecessor to great lengths-

With his back to the wall, he turned slightly as if acknowledging me- "Adam Li-"

With his sights set on me, he moved closer and picked up some momentum as he said- "You still engaged to Shen Fei? I know you are- what did I tell you before- break off the engagement- I'm not even in the mood to talk- you bastard- stop staring blank-faced."

Finally, close enough he aimed his fist straight at my head as I effortlessly dodged the move and with another hand, I grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

And with ferocity, I threw him into the metal bars making up the entrance as a 'ding' sound echoed in the vicinity with the gates being bent out of shape-

Su Yan hadn't had enough as he got back up with a hunched back- "Is that the best you got- you fucking loser!"

Chuckled the Su Family's Young Master as he looked at Adam with contempt in his eyes.

Seeing that from the fool Adam launched a kick on his stomach as the guy almost vomited on the very ground-

Before he finally clutched his wounds and left-

'This guy tracked me so easily - changing schools changed nothing- nothing at all...'

'Ah yes, what was it that I learnt as my first lesson in the Dagger Sect-?...'

"Destroy the root cause of all problems- and so that no pests become infestations."

As he remembered these teachings he began to track the wounded Su Yan as he followed closely with his speed and acrobatics- he finally made his way to the Su Families Organisation in the middle of the city- and with such speed that his presence couldn't be seen he tracked the Qi emanating from Su Yan as he reached the top of the building.

And there stood 24 bodyguards- all with some sort of tempered physique waiting for him as if he was sensed and this whole track and trace were deliberate.

And in front of him stood a pot-bellied old man with striking resemblances to Su Yan- 'It was his father and from him, a little Zhen Qi could be sensed- the old man trained in the arts once upon a time but never really went the extra mile to keep up with the techniques.'

"Tear off all of his limbs and turn his skin to ashes- but leave him alive as he dies due to severe blood loss and burns marks-"

As this was said the 24 bodyguards all rushed at Adam with their aura out full-blown that only a practitioner could see-

And with whatever they could find whether they be gold clubs chairs tables and ornaments the bodyguards let out their petty Qi reserves as their items were merged with the Qi before they all began to attack Adam-

The first attack was that of a golf club with golden Qi slashed at Adam as its aura cut through the table behind Adam-

And quickly shifting to his left he immediately kneed an enemy on the left as he began to duck the collective strikes at him as he performed a scissor kick-

Before semi-floating and punching one of there skulls in before his leg worked like a butchers knife as it sliced their heads from their necks in a finely cut chop without much effort as blood spurted through the room.

With Adam in his efficient stance befitting that of an assassin with no drops of blood on him he looked directly at Su Yan's father in front of him with a slight smirk-

"Well- what are you waiting for I've demolished your men-"

As Adam said this- a bullet immediately flew straight to his head and instead of blocking the attack Adam grabbed the bullet out of the air as he said-

"Nice try-"

As he said this the former assassin's mouth morphed into that of a devilishly cruel smile
