Secrets Exposed

Although the sky was getting darker by the minute, somewhere inside the large city, was a lively crowd rushing past vast amount of buildings with unending fervor.

To be more specific, the commotion was situated in the middle of the Divine Relic Sect, in the inner disciple area.

A young man was being chased by a hoard of angry cultivators, who all were in a higher realm then he was, but still, this young man was fairly calm and collected, and kept a cool headed as he kicked his legs forwards and backwards with casualness and ease.

David had read in most cultivating novels, that the characters will learn a variety of cultivation techniques, whether it be a main brick building technique that helps advance your Qi energy and meridians which helps improve the very core of your body, or whether it be techniques that manifest your energy outwardly.

There are also techniques that increases your strength by many folds, or techniques that coexist with weapons, hand to hand combat techniques, palm, leg, head, knee, movement, soul, mind, blacksmith, pill concocting, talisman creating etc.

David had even seen the characters of some of the story he had read, cultivates different types of techniques like 'monkey plucks the peach,' or 'uncle loves bdsm'

But never have David seen, a person that chose to disregard the variety of technique in the world, the hundreds of millions of ways to grow powerful, and just choose one technique to focus on.

This was Luo Ren, and he chose to be a pure movement specialist, with nothing else going for him, and for him to make this kind of choice... It paid off.

"What the Hell! He...He...He had already advance to level two in the Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods. No one has done that in tens of thousand of years since the very first Sect Leader!!!!" A cultivator screamed in shock, this statement caused some confusion to the crowd of cultivators, even to the who were just pedestrians or spectators in the audiences from afar.

Everyone's eyes were now watching on ghost like young man, moving like a speedy little praying mantis, kicking his legs like a reapers scythe, right in front of their very eyes.

His long hair wave high into the guy like an immortal god, casually weaving through the wind, his basic running form from before had transformed into the true embodiment of elegance.

Luo Ren carefree smile had captured everyone's heart, while Jing Bai's eyes were wide open and bulging like grape readying to be picked.

"Noooooooooooo!" Jing Bai screamed, his heart fluttered in confusion, as he was conflicted with romantic thoughts that were slowly rising from the layer of anger he had for Luo Ren.

'Why does he have to be so beautiful? Wait, what am I thinking? But... My word, do I really have to shave my head and become a monk?' Jing Bai thought as his mind was currently malfunctioning, he stopped chasing and paused directly at the stop, with wild thoughts running through his mind.

'Siiiigh, I had to show my trump card that I purposely hid for life threatening moments, but I had no choice but to use it, if I was to have been caught, the strange ancient relic that belongs to me and Luo Rei would had been destroyed, and I don't have a spatial ring to keep it safe...' Luo Ren thought as he jumped from building to building, leaving behind dozens of angry inner disciples.

Although his movement seems so casual and elegant, he was in fact, burning mass of Qi energy just to maintain this form, he could only run like this for five minute straight, before being completely exhausted of Qi energy.

This technique at the second level, made a person like Luo Ren, who is only a peak outer disciple, outrun the lower and middle tier inner disciples that have a higher cultivation as him.

This may seem like a miracle, but in fact, this was only so because of Luo Ren's hard work and dedication in deciphering the secrets of the technique, and advancing from level one, to level two.

But don't forget, this move does come at a price, and it burns Qi as easily as water evaporates in intense heat, sucking Luo Ren's Qi reserve dry in a mere five minutes of using the technique.

These five minutes were enough time for Luo Ren to completely lose his pursuers, and had quietly made his way to his abode, inside the outer area of the sect.

It was a known rule that people from the inner, or core area, were not allowed to bully anyone in the outer sect.

This had been the rule since the founding of the sect, which made people from the lower class sigh in relief, but this was only inside the outer ring, if people from the outer ring casually stroll into the inner area, core area, or outside the sect, then these rules don't apply.

Actually, this rule only applies at the Divine Relic Sect, no other sect on this continent chose to have this rules because they rather curry favor with the strong, instead of helping the weak.

While Luo Ren was currently resting in his small shabby room, rumors of the incident spread like a wild fire, which caused waves of surprise, envy and shock in every corner of the Divine Relic Sect, and also all throughout Suuinsong City that the sect resides in.

The news had already reached to the ears of certain people who had reacted more strongly to such an incident, such as a person inside a certain immortal cave abode.

"That good for nothing really did what I couldn't do?" Luo Ru said with confusion and deep anger, she clenched her fist as she reminiscing the past and how she tried for months meditating and understanding the essence of the The Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods with nothing to show for but failure and shame.

In a tall peak near the core area.

"It's ok, in my eyes, you are more talented then anyone in the entire world, Luo Ren is a descendant of the mighty Luo Family after all, but this is all he should amount to, I swear he will not overtake you since you are the chosen one" Mei, the sword maid, and lover of Luo Ru said softly, attempting to calm her master down by coaxing her.

"Yes, I am the main character of this world, the heaven chosen" Luo Ru said firmly with a strong piercing glint in her eyes.

'Achoooooo' David randomly sneezed. 'Hmmm, wait a minute, I don't have a nose...'

In another part of the sect, was Tao Min who was anxiously walking around in circles, with a hint of anger.

"How did I overlook this? Why are the Luo Family so troubling? I will now have to adjust my plan accordingly, and I'll find a way to make him to give me the secret to advancing to level two in that movement technique"

"Huuumpft, first Luo Ru has found an immortal ruins with treasures that even Warlord/Warlock level cultivators would die for, and Luo Ren had deciphered one of the sects greatest technique, hahaha, how wonderful, everything is just right for us to conveniently take" The arrogant core elder who wanted to offer his peach tea to Luo Ru, Dong Bei, said towards his father, the vice Sect Leader of the Divine Relic Sect, Dong Ki.

"Yes, but unfortunately the treasures were locked inside the sect vault, and only the sect leader has access to it, so we can only work on obtaining the the secrets of the Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods, even if we have to torture it out of him" The older looking man said towards his son. This man had a ponytail with silver hair, long ears, and a thick stoutish nose, he is the vice sect leader called, Dong Ki.

Back in the currently timeline, Luo Ren was arduously studying David inside his room.

"You, what are you?" Luo Ren said softly with suspicion, this cause David to panic inwardly.

'Damn, well I should had know it would be fairly alarming if I were to use my mile points to upgrade my body in front of a living being' David thought, but he didn't regret his decision as he was bound to stand out one day, so why not do it in the presence of someone that seems trustworthy?

"I have my theory, and if I'm right, you must be one of those spiritual relics of the legends, our sect has many records about relics. Legends say that a spiritual relic is a tool with a living soul, and that they can continuously grow like a human cultivator"

'So there must be other items with souls inside of them, that means I'm not alone, but are they reincarnated from other worlds? Or natives of this world that had their souls forcefully thrown into an object do to a technique? Or perhaps the object naturally birthed a soul and grew consciousness?' David thought.

"I have a question for you, do you have a way of communicating?"

'If I could communicate, wouldn't I have already done so? Wait... I recall that there is one thing that I could do'

"Ding" A clear piercing ring of a bell echoed throughout the room.

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 19/110 energy)

"Huh? So you really are one of those spiritual relics from the legends..." Luo Ren said with awe and fascination, he was fairly surprised to hear a response, but was glad that he did.

"How did you upgrade yourself? Ugh, you can only respond in ringing your bell, ok, how about this, I'll ask some yes and no questions, one ring is yes, and two rings is no, you got that?"

"Ding"

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 18/110 energy)

"Ok, can you continuously upgrade yourself? Perhaps somehow become stronger?"

"Ding"

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 17/110 energy)

"Do you... To become stronger, do you need someone to ride you?" Luo Ren asked, after carefully thinking his question through.

"Ding" David was fairly surprised at the perception of the young man before him, no wonder he was someone who had solve the secret of the The Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods and advance to the second stage of that movement technique.

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 16/110 energy)

"I thought so, hmmm, your wheels were repaired, I assume you have an energy source that can be used to regenerate your wheels, like how human have Qi, you have something similar?"

"Ding"

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 15/110 energy)

"Ok, this time I'll ask three questions, do you have limited energy? Can it be regenerated over time? And are you low on your energy source right now?"

"Ding"... "Ding" ... "Ding"

- 3 energy (Ring Bell Function - 12/110 energy)

"You're low on energy huh... Ok last question, are you a friend or foe?"

"Ding"

- 1 energy (Ring Bell Function - 11/110 energy)

'Hmm, this Luo Ren does not seem that bad, perhaps we can be good friends after all, and I hope he doesn't screw me over as I am lending my trust on a whim" David thought calmly, as he has been screwed over once by the gods for giving him this mocking body.

To him, it doesn't matter if he experiences it again. Dying would be a relief, the only downfall is that he would have 0% chance of seeing his sister again, so he can only put his faith in others, since he can't become the once self-reliance young man that he once was
