Cloud continent. 9031 year of the rain calander.

in a small village a group of children can be seen being trained in combat by 2 men one of which has a face scar and a elder woman along with an old man.

Amongst they children one child stands out due to his young age.

"Jones is so young but can already keep up with the rest of the children and he has only been doing this for a couple years" grinned charlie(scarred faced man)

"Indeed it's quite the achievement to have reached the fourth stage of body refinement at 9 years old, normally for it takes the children from our village 15 years" said Margaret.(female)

"He might have the potential to change the fate of our village and allow us to do well in this year's tournament, it's just a shame he doesn't have any family to keep him here if he does. " smiled the old man.

the children finally finished their workout after 1 hour and jones made his way to his small home that contained nothing but a bed and few cooking utensils and a small kitchen. When jones got home he immediately had something to eat and began practice the body strengthening technique that had been given to the children by the village chief.

if you looked at jones closely you could see small streams swirling around him at a slow pace and entering and strengthening his body. after a few minutes his body seemed to shine and his muscles seemed to expand before contacting, this repeated a couple times before jones opened his eyes.

"finally I've broke through to the fifth and final stage of body refinement" said jones in a light voice.

jones was happy as he knew he had to get strong fast, not just for himself but for the village too.

in 2 months a competition between all the villages within 5 miles would occur and all the strongest youths in each village would fight for a chance to enter a wider stage, a chance to become a powerhouse respected by all.
