"Zhang Hongxie, you come out and fight with us. Last time if it wasn't because of my carelessness, I wouldn't have lost to you." A youth handsome who seemed to be thirteen years old, declared loudly and arrogantly in front of a medium-sized house. Behind him, there were a few lackeys of his also did the same pose as their boss, both hands on the waist, nose pointed high to the sky.
"Tch, what a bunch of idiots, always come to get the beating from me. Never once did you guys ever go back home without bruises on your body. Last time you even called your dad to help you, what a bunch of useless trash." A sound echoed out from the medium-sized house loudly, it was very crisp and clear. A few minutes later, a very handsome youth about twelve years old, clad in plain red lazily walked out of the house. Every step he made, it was very steady and no sound could be heard as if he was using some kind of technique even when walking.
"Finally you come out huh? Haha, be prepare to get a beating from this daddy, I've already broken through to the 4th stage Element Refinement Realm. This daddy may consider sparing you if you kneel down and kowtow me three times, hahaha." Zhang Shaowei spoke arrogantly to Zhang Hongxie.
"Oh, so that's why you dare to have to the courage to come and fight me huh? Let me tell you, did you really think that only you got improvement? Hehe, I also achieved the same realm as you." Right after that, he released his aura and it made the people around became astonished and the gravity around them also increased, the weaker people even fell down on their knees.
"H..how could you be this fast? Before you were just a trash, you must have got some treasure right? Hurry up and hand it over, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Heh, don't talk so much useless bullshit, come and fight me." He said calmly to the other party.
Then Zhang Shaowei immediately jumped toward Zhang Hongxie and punch outward, "Solid Earth Fist" he shouted loudly, then his find transformed into the fist that made of earth. This was a high rank Human technique, it could transform the user's fist into the earth fist, it would enhance the strength into the punch by five times and it could also protect the user from the normal attack too.
"Humph!" Zhang Hongxie just sneered upon seeing the coming attack, the he also leaped forward and shouted "Fire Buddha Palm!", he stretched out his palm and the golden fire lit up on the surface of his palm. This was also a high rank Human technique, Zhang Shaowei was very shock when he saw his opponent also used this technique.
Even though both technique was of the same rank but the power of these two techniques were entirely different, the Fire Buddha Palm was a very hard technique to practice, but it could unleash a great strength when activated it. It made the palm become very hard and solid, the opponent would be burn upon touching the Buddha Fire. It also enhances the strength of the palm by seven times, what's special about this technique was it also has the healing capability. This was a very great technique among the high rank Human technique, but it was without a doubt very hard to practice.
The earth fist collided with the golden fire palm
Boom…
It created the fire spark upon colliding with each other, everyone here guessed that at least both of them were evenly match, but they were entirely wrong. As soon as the palm touched the fist, it immediately blasted the fist and broke Zhang Shaowei's right arm, blood could be seen leaked out from the wound and his fist also got burned by the Buddha Fire. Zhang Shaowei's face became very pale and he cried in pain.
"Humph, consider yourself lucky today, next time you come to bother me, I will cripple all of you for sure. If not for the fact that you are in the same clan as me, I would've even killed you long time ago, trash." Zhang Hongxie said with a killing intent leaked out. The people here shivered upon hearing his cold voice.
"Why don't you hurry and scram out of my place."
They immediately rushed forward and carry the crying Zhang Shaowei back.
In fact, there was another reason that Zhang Hongxie didn't want to cripple Zhang Shaowei, it was because Zhang Shaowei's father was the sixth elder of this Zhang Branch Family. He didn't want to anger the sixth elder, he didn't have to strength to confront against an elder at all, what's more it is almost time for the Qing Sai Banquet Party (Youth Competition Banquet Party), if he could show good talent to the main Zhang family then he would be able to leave this place that full of the bullies and thus his future would be reassured.
This branch of the Zhang family is located in the Blue Leaf Country of the Divine Element Empire. The Blue Leaf Country located in the south of the Divine Element Empire, this country was considered to be one of the rich country, the branch of the Zhang family here was in control of a few businesses, the local clans and sects in this country were all afraid of the Zhang clan, the patriarch of the branch family was an expert of 10th stage Element Origin Realm. Only a very few people could contend against him, the elders also very strong, all of the six elders were at the 3rd to 5th Elemental Core Strengthening realm.
When Zhang Shaowei said that Zhang Hongxie had a treasure, it was in fact very true. Before Zhang Hingxie was only a bit above average people but after he encountered a strange palm-sized stone tablet, his speed of cultivation and comprehension got enhanced greatly. The stone tablet is now inside his body; it binds directly with his very soul.
Zhang Hongxie was in fact born with three Elemental Core which were Fire, Lightning and Space. But nobody knew about this, because he learned a technique from his father that could concealed the Elemental Cores, as a result people only knew that he had only a Fire Elemental Core. If he were to reveal that he had three Elemental Cores then he would die without he himself knowing fire sure, that's why he mostly stayed low-key to avoid troubles.
Before he could join the Qing Sai Banquet Party at the main Zhang clan, he needed to join a mock competition first, after he passed this mock competition could he be able to join the Qing Sai Banquet Party.
The mock competition would start in three months' time, he needed to increase his strength and cultivation as soon as possible. And the Qing Sai Banquet Party would start in three months after the mock competition, his and his family fate would reside within him, if he could pass the Qing Sai Banquet Party or even obtain a good rank, then his father would be promoting to become a great figure in the branch Zhang family for sure. What's more, he would have the chance to study in the Divine Elements Academy, the greatest Academy in the entire empire.
He heard that many nobles and rich people sent their descendants to study at this Academy, but not all of them are able to study there, because the Academy needs the ones with talents and hardworking not the money, and there are no bullies inside the school, that's why he wanted to study at this academy very much.
Well, even though he was one of the Zhang's descendant, he was just a branch member so he didn't know much about the main properties of the main family. The patriarch once said that as long as you could study at the Divine Elements Academy, you would come out as an individual who could summon the thunder and hail the storm, anyone would respect you. Your strength would be unfathomable.
Since the start of the Divine Elementals Academy until now, the academy had produced seven immortals and those seven immortals became the seven elders of the Zhang clan.
