Zhao Lin

The second guard was screaming in his heart "monster" ,lumley suddenly appeared before the retreating guard , he sent his knee towards the guard's stomach the guard tried to evade but he really underestimated Lumley's attack , Lumley's knee landed on the guard's belly . The guard spat out a mouthful of blood , he was sent back on his butt till he formed two feet hole on the ground ,he also fainted joining the other guard in fantasy . The third guard was surprisingly not scared at least on the outside ,lumley never knew that his father and clan head fang were currently levitating on the air and watching him , the clan head who is a rank 8 warrior could already fly but elder chu a rank 6 warrior could only levitate, and at most move short distances in air because of his soul beast which is a born beast ." what's this guard up to " clan head fang thought while stroking his beards ,they had been watching lumley ever since the spar began they were shocked by the extent of his physical strength , he defeated two rank one warrior with only the strength of his body

Amazing.....

The guard named Zhao Lin was currently contemplating in his heart on what to do he wanted to use strongest attackable which was a tier 1 saber strike,he wanted to use it against lumley ,he was not planning to kill him but to prove his worth ,he had being an ordinary patrol guard for so many years and had not performed any honorary deed that could make him receive a promotion , he was the only child of his parents, and they were already old ,and he is now the breadwinner of his family the wages he receives are not enough to cater for his family again ,has their number has increased he married a beautiful woman who gave birth to two young lads ,so he badly needed a promotion so as to increase their state of living ,his parents were near death's door as they weren't cultivators, who had long life spans .

He awakened a wind type element and had immediately joined the azure dragon clan when he clocked nineteen , to act as a guard . Lumley noticed the determination and reluctance in the guard's eyes " you can go ahead " lumley said glaring at the guard lumley knew the guard was contemplating whether to attack with full power or not, and the reason was to show his abilities "such determination, I shall ask father to promote him after this spar " ," you can go on " lumley said , the guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded " young master be careful " lumley nodded and said nothing else .The guard manipulated the wind energy around him (Note : in this novel Qi acts as a support to the warriors like an energy reserve and shows their various element, it is also what warriors need to advance in ranks . Their main instrument for combat is the ability to manipulate one's elements their are several ranks of control for both weapons ,element and more that we shall know .For now we shall deal with elemental energy )

Wind energy were spinning wildly round the sabre of the guard " young master this is the tier one middle rank sabre art I obtained from the martial hall as a reward for on of my past achievements , I have recently made a breakthrough and achieved duplex II".In this world martial arts comprehension were ranked in duplexes some martial arts had their comprehension duplex at four k Zhao Lin sabre art ,lumley didn't raeply and just focused on Zhao Lin's saber.

Coils of green lightning began to roll round Lumley's right hand forming huge rings of lightning if one looked closely one would see countless dragons swimming inside this lightning ring , he pressed his feet on the ground ready for battle , when he fought with the other guards he made use of only sixty percent of his body strength ,now he wanted to test the strength of this strange green lightning ,the amount of lightning energy he could manipulate he didn't no,but it was time to check it out .

" Ohh what's that green lightning, never had of it before " clan head fang said glaring at elder chu " I also don't no ,but I no it's far stronger than ordinary lightning " elder chu replied staring at lumley with a strange glow in his eyes .

Zhao Lin who was standing approximately twenty meters away from lumley held the saber which was currently covered with wind energy in his two hands ,he raced towards lumley with astonishing speed he left countless after images behind, wind elemental warriors were truly swift , lumley sped towards him like a streak of lightning ,Zhao Lin suddenly jumped into the air as they were few metres from each other ,he raised his saber up and swiped it down towards the racing lumley .

" WIND CLAW SABER "

The air around Zhao Lin suddenly became belligerent as several images of wind saber appeared in front of Zhao Lin's saber ,the saber images suddenly began to collide with one another ,till they formed the image of a huge claw ,the claw merged with the saber and gave it a glossy appearance ,he was already descending towards lumley with the saber above his head ,lumley tapped his feet on the ground and pounced into the air .

The scene in the air before their clash was splendid a slim young boy with rings of green lightning spinning round his right hand sparkling with dense electric energy and a older man with a claw like saber above his head, they finally met .

BOOOOOOOOOOOM

Zhao Lin discovered that electric energy were invading his body through his saber which made contact with Lumley's lightning packed fist he was shivering in the outside , his internals where undergoing apocalypse " what kind of damn lightning is this " Zhao Lin exclaimed in his heart, lightning element were known for their numbing effect it was just a slight feeling but this green damn lightning was currently turning inside of him upside down ,Lumley the master of the green lightning knew everything that was going inside Zhao Lin's ,he was amazed as this green entities in his body kept giving him surprises .

Zhao Lin was sent flying back by the explosion from their clash ,lumley quickly covered himself in a shield of green lightning he took ten steps back before he finally stabilized his body .

Zhao Linlanded on the ground his face ashen he was still try to suppress the lightning causing chaos in his body with his Qi but it was useless . ,lumley wanted to know ,if he could still control the bit of energy in Zhao Lin's body he could still sense it vividly ,he closed his eyes and screamed in his mind " halt " and surprisingly with immediate effect the electric energy paused, he ordered it again feeling very happy " vanish " he commanded again and as expected it vanished ,lumley was almost jumping in joy as he had found a new attack pattern ,if he could get his lightning inside his enemy's body then victory becomes his ,The shivering Zhao Lin finally calmed down as he sat In a meditating position to calm his Qi after five minutes he got up and knelt on his knees " young master is truly talented ,you defeated my art with only your elemental energy am more ascertained that you are brightest genius that the azure dragon clan will produce " Zhao Lin was not trying to impress or get Lumley's favour ,he was a straight forward man and spoke prudent and true words " young master I ask for your permission to live, for I had gained enlightenment during our ephemeral battle "

" Ohhhh " the one who exclaimed was not lumley but otherwise elder chu gaining enlightenment during battle was truly rare as it wasn't an easy feat . clan head fang snorted like a jealous girlfriend "hmm brightest genius what about fang " elder chu shook his head and said to fang " can you be serious ,let's descend " they began to fall from the sky with the momentum of a falling star ,their bodies were covered in elemental energy elder chu formed the shape of a feather under his feet with his cyan flame energy he swayed and drifted in air exactly like a feather till he finally landed , clan head fang needed not to manipulate or form any shape has he could already fly , Zhao Lin was currently shivering he was standing before two powerhouses of the clan he quickly paid his respect "this humble servant greets clan head and elder chu"

Elder chu waved his hands sending a jade towards the guard " rise up , you have been promoted to captain you now have fifteen members under you ,give the jade to your area commander , right in that jade is my mental message ,after verifying it , you can then collect rewards assigned to you " .

Zhao Lin was fidgeting as he was happier than happy if his prayers answered he only expected maybe at least an increase in salary ,but now the money he needed was more than enough he kowtowed countless times saying " thank you " .

suddenly fang said with his awe inspiring look said " enough , you can leave now" , he quickly left as he dared not stay again he bowed to everyone and left .

The awe inspiring expression of the clan head suddenly changed to a juvenile smile as he said to lumley " ohh you crazy boy " . Lumley walked towards clan head fang he smiled and shook his head ,he knew clan head fang from a very young age ,as only he and lily knew the relationship between elder chu and head fang , he knew about clan head playful and mischievous side ,he might always play around sometimes but he

was best leader one could ask for .

"greetings to uncle fang " lumley. bowed

Instead of replying the greeting he suddenly threw his fist towards lumley who was bowing .
