Stronger than before
*2 years later*
"Please stop, we will give you everything. Just stop"
A bloody figure was begging in front of a tall man who had a large saber in his hand.
"Haha old man, it's too late for that now. You should have given us what we want when we asked you"
The man raised his saber and cut the old man's head off. The people around started screaming, especially the women and the children.
"Shut up. You guys go and take the women and children, kill the men"
"Yes, boss"
They were a bandit group and they were attacking a village that rumored having a beautiful woman. They didn't know who she was but the rumor kept spreading so they attacked.
"Boss, look what we found. The beautiful woman"
"Indeed she is a beauty"
The woman rumor was true and she was very beautiful, she could compare to a hot model star on Earth.
"No, let go of her"
A young man tried to rescue her from the bandits but he was instantly kicked away. He was the woman's husband.
Seeing her husband's bravery and powerless in front of those "monsters", she could only beg them to spare him and she would do what they wanted.
"Good. Let go boys. We will have a feast tonight"
They put the women and children into horse wagon then they drove their own horses and headed to the village entrance.
"We are so lucky today, no soldiers or anyone tried to stop us. Boss, you are smart when you decided to change our territory. In this region, we are the boss"
"HAHA, maybe we should go to the next village after this... Wait, who is that?"
When they almost reached the entrance, they stopped the horses as soon as they saw a strange kid blocking their path.
The kid was 1m10 tall, had short black hair and wore normal village clothes but the weird thing they saw was that the kid wore a wooden mask, a wolf image mask. They couldn't see the boy features at all.
"Seem like a boy wanted to be a hero. Haha, that is so funny...Well, I like your courage. You, go take care of the hero"
"Yes Boss"
The bandit got off his horse and brought a short sword. He happily walked to the boy and swung his sword around to scare the boy.
The group inside the wagon also looked outside but wasn't optimistic about the boy. Instead, they got more despair.
"Look and see this. If you tried to go against us, this will happen to you"
The bandit boss turned around to give a warning the people in the wagon.
Suddenly, something flew past boss and crashed down onto the ground. It was the bandit that left to attack the boy and there was a hole on his chest, it wasn't holed through the chest but the flesh around his chest formed a hole.
"What... What the fck just happen?"
The boss turned back and asked the subordinates.
"Boss, we don't know what just happen. He was just standing in front of the boy then he suddenly flew back"
The boss only looked at the formed hole on the man's chest and the boy who stood still and hadn't moved an inch. An old feeling came back to him and it was fear. Even the others were also afraid of the unknown while people in the wagon found new hope and cheered.
"Fck...Fck. We will run over him. Move now"
The boss ordered all the bandits to ride the horses and ran over the boy.
The bandits obeyed out of fear and rode their horses to the boy but the boy still didn't move and his green eyes through the mask only looked at the horses.
Before the horses could reach him, they stopped their track without the riders permission. The horses were trembling in fear, the eyes scared them. They felt that their life was threatened so they obediently sat down to obey their new master.
"What are you doing? Move goddamit"
"Boss, our horses won't move"
"Shit, draw out your weapons. We will kill this little shit"
They got off the horses and started drawing they weapon out, the boss was the first one to attack. His large saber was going down on the boy as fast as it could.
Sadly, it was useless. The saber was easy caught in the boy's hand and he applied pressure on it then the saber broken down into pieces.
"OMG"
The boss wanted to back down but he was punched in the stomach then he puked out blood and foods from yesterday. The power from the punch was crazy, it totally destroyed his organs. The boss then fainted because of the unbearable pain.
One of the bandits attacked behind and tried to chop the boy's head off but he suddenly disappeared from the man's view. he then felt like he lost balance and fell down but he was kicked in the face and spin 360 degrees in the air then fell down. It happened less than 3 seconds, the boy dodged the attack and swiped the bandit feet off the ground then kicked him in the face.
The bandits were shocked when they saw the boy's power but that didn't stop them from attacking him. Less than 5 minutes, all the bandits were lying on the ground, most of them puked out blood because of damaged organs.
"Hurray, we are saved"
The people in the wagon hurriedly get out of the wagon and ran back to their family, some of them even stepped on the bandits.
The beautiful woman also ran to her husband who came back with a sword in his hand but seeing his wife still safe, he dropped his sword and hugged her.
"You are safe, I am so glad. What happened to those bandits?"
"A strange boy with a wolf mask came and rescued us"
"A wolf mask? Oh God, you are talking about the Great Wolf spirit"
"The spirit? I don't understand"
"Don't worry I will tell you later. Right now I will help others to handle the bandits"
--Not too far from the village--
"Well, that was easy than expected"
The boy took down his mask to breath easier. The one, who was behind the mask, was Sun Zhen.
If anyone could see him now, especially his mom. They could flip out and shout to the world that he was the Great Wolf spirit.
In 2 years, he had been training and had more experience in fighting. Then he made himself a mask and went out of the village to beat bad guys.
The reason he did that because of a quest.
QUEST:
Defeat 5 bandit groups(4/5)
Difficult Grade: Easy-Hard.
Reward: 10 LVL up a chosen skill.
This quest appeared after the Gathered Silver Grass quest. It took him a year of training so that he would be more confident handling a bandit group.
He found more than 10 bandit groups but most of them had more than 50 guys. He could only take groups that had less than 20.
The first group he took down, cost a lot of time because the used the way of an assassin. But he got stronger later so 3 groups he went directly to battle.
He could only depend on his skills to help him.
SKILLS:
{ Fighting lvl 6 }
{ Movement Speed lvl 23 }
{ Reaction-Qi Realm lvl 12 }
{ Qi Breathing lvl 58 }
{ Qi Control lvl 34 }
{ Intimidate lvl 3 }
With all those skills, his power was beyond a normal human.
Fighting couldn't lvl by normal means, it could only lvl up by experience in fighting. But with LVL 6, his fighting skill was as a professional in martial arts.
Intimidate was a skill that he got from scaring small animals with pressure alone. A dog tried to bite him but he was bad mood that day so when the dog tried to bite him, he didn't run and only looked at the dog. The pressure from him was so great, the dog tried to play dead.
But the best skill that helped him was Qi Control. With Qi, his power went up by four-fold(4x). If a human could punch with the strength of 20kg, he could punch over 80kg. If Qi control lvl up more, his power may go up by fivefold(5x). Not only his power, but the Qi could also act an invisible shield around the flesh and that why he caught the saber pretty easy.
The mask was made by him, he once asked to learn from a carpenter and he soon became a professional pretty easy. He made a mask to hide his identity and thanks to his achievements by defeating bandits, people called him Great Wolf Spirit.
And what about the people he hurt? He knew what kind of injuries he left were deadly and could kill those bandits later but why should he felt pity for those people, they chose that path and they wanted to kill people so they had to face the consequences later. He didn't feel guilty for killing them at all, the wolf vision gave him the experience of someone else in life and the wolf killed so many bandits that he could still count how many did the wolf killed.

After putting his stuff in the bag, he ran back home before his mom could yell to the hunters to find him.
--Sun Zhen's house--
"Where did you go this time? Do not lie to me about playing a game of hide and seek with your friends, your friends couldn't find you at all and they are still out there, looking for you"
His mom cooked some food for dinner while asking him about his day.
"Nowhere mom, I was just trying to hide but they still can't find me til now so I quit"
"Whatever, go prepare the dishes"
Seemed like it wasn't the only time that she asked him so she let him go free. Again
--Sun Zhen's Not so friendly friends--
"Boss, why did we have to put up with this act again?"
"Yeah, just because he can beat us, doesn't mean he can order us"
"Do you even see his mom? Her face was like { I know it already but just to make sure, tell me more }"
"...Just do what he said, we will be free next year. Then we will have our revenge"
They never did that and forgot everything the next year
.

"One more group and I done with the quest, what should I LVL up? Fighting or Qi Control"
Su Zhen asking himself while doing push up him his room. Training physical strength was an important factor to survive in this world. Push up was not an extreme exercise but it was a good way to build a foundation.
Suddenly the menu interface opened.
