Awakening of the beast

"Where are you going?"

Ning Fangjie can see the motivation and ambition in his son's behavior.

It looks like he can't wait to get out of bed this morning.

"I'm going to the city. I got a job with Aunty Qiao, remember?"

Ning Yue said to his father with a big smile because today, he would prove his father was wrong!

"Yeah… But you don't need money for my doctor, ok? Just buy the stuff you want."

Ning Fangjie feels proud that Ning Yue started working by himself.

The faster Ning Yue stopped depending on him, the better he felt.

"What if I want doctors for you?"

Ning Yue jokingly asks.

"Ha! Don't think about it. Just hurry before Qiao gets busy; her food is number 1 in the city, so there will be many more orders if she goes the delivery route."

"Yes, father. Please take care."

Ning Yue bows his head and then leaves, leaving Ning Fangjie alone.

*Cough*

After Ning Yue has gone, Fangjie coughs out blood.

"Better prepare for the worse…."

Fangjie walks back inside the house and drags the family picture down from the ceiling to write something behind it.

---

The city of Azure moon is a medium city, it mostly has a 1-floor building, and the highest building has 3 floors which is a trading center that

is under Moon sword sect protection.

Most people in this city are commoners who lack cultivation knowledge, mostly farmers or merchants.

"I'm back, aunty Qiao."

"You sleep one day and already forget? It's big-sis, BIG SIS Qiao!"

She may be a mature and successful businesswoman but still a girl at heart.

"Ok… big sis Qiao."

"Good boy~!"

Qiao has to tiptoe to reach Ning Yue to give him a head pat.

"Please, I'm 15…"

His face turns red from her embarrassing head pat. Also, a certain part of her almost touches his face.

"And I'm 35~ you're still just a boy for me."

Qiao laughs at Ning Yue's reaction to the head pat.

"Ok! But where do I need to deliver today?"

"Oh, only the Moon sword sect ordered today. It looks like they didn't get the order yesterday… but still paid?"

She just realized something fishy, the order said they wanted to reorder the menu, but she already got their money.

"Hmmmmm"

Qiao finds Ning Yue very suspicious.

"Ok! I will be going then! my beautiful big sis Qiao!"

Ning Yue quickly grabs the wooden backpack and runs off in a blink of an eye.

"So, it was a Moon sword sect doing. I should talk with someone about this."

She may be an Inn owner, but her food can charm even the highest authority.

In front of the Moon sword sect, Ning Yue has arrived.

"Oh! You, the delivery man! Is your face healed?"

One of the guards is the same one from yesterday; he was the one who arrested the boy back in.

"It's you! Thank you for arresting him yesterday."

Ning Yue bows his head in gratitude.

"No worry, I'm just doing my job. But man, isn't that scary? He forces me to take the morning shift for 1 month because I'm arresting his grandson's friend!"

"!!"

Ning Yue suddenly feels chill.

'Maybe it is not a good idea…'

He rethinks his decision; making an enemy with a friend of a grandson's elder from a powerful sect is not logical.

"Did he order it again? I will go look for him, and you wait here."

The guard gets back inside and then comes back with a stranger.

"Looks like he didn't."

The guard said with a smiley face. This time, it was a different one who ordered.

"Here, money."

The boy who came out gave him the pouch, received the food, and left.

"Oh, that was quick."

Ning Yue secures the money before walking back to Qiao's Inn.

But after he leaves the Moon sword sect, two shadows follow behind him while keeping some distance not to get noticed.

"Good work! But it will be a while before the lunch order, so you should take a break."

Qiao said to him because for Qiao, Ning Yue still counted as an injured person to her, so she wanted him to get some rest to heal the wound.

"Thank you, big sis Qiao."

Ning Yue did not lose an opportunity of free time. He walked out of the inn again and met with two strangers, or to be precise, one of them was the boy he punched; another one was a stranger.

"Follow me if you don't want aunty Qiao to get hurt."

The strange boy smiles under his garment while threatening Qiao's safety.

"You bastard…"

Ning Yue screams in anger silently, but his back is now against the wall.

"Ah, he ill manner just as you told me, Liao Liwei."

The stranger boy laughs with disgust on his face.

"I will teach him a reason, don't worry, brother Fan."

The revengeful boy smiled.

"Let's go somewhere quiet, shall we?"

Three walk outside the town and leave the main road before arriving at an isolated place.

"Can't believe cultivators like you are a coward."

Ning Yue disdain the boys.

"At least, I'm still a cultivator, not commoner trash like you.

Also, we came because the city has so many annoying laws. Now that we are here, no one can protect you now!"

Azure style, first form: Moon rising

Liao Liwei launched the same attack, quickly thrusting his hand to Ning Yue's neck, aiming for the kill!

But Ning Yue was prepared!

He steps back and launches a powerful counter kick!

*BAM*

"Ugh!"

Liao Liwei feels little pain because Ning Yue is a commoner, but as a cultivator, getting attacked by a commoner is the highest form of disrespect!

"I'll kill YOU!!"

"THEN COME, YOU FUCKING WEAKLING, AHHHH!!!"

Ning Yue goes on the offense.

He rushes in and throws his punch!

"Too slow!"

Liao Liwei easily blocks Ning Yue's punch before countering with a punch to Ning Yue's stomach.

"Ouch!"

Ning Yue started to choke after a single strike.

"Learn your place, you maggot!"

Liao Liwei kicked Ning Yue and sent him flying to a nearby tree.

*BAM*

"Ugh!"

Ning Yue split our blood but still slowly stood up despite the pain.

'This is it. This is what I want! No, I need it!!'

"Is that all you got, Cultivator?!"

Ning Yue taunted Liao Liwei again with his fist in the air, showing he had not given up yet.

"You fucking shit! I will kill you slowly, I swear!"

Liao Liwei jumps forward with his hand glowing blue again.

Azure style, second form:

'Here it comes!'

Ning Yue prepares to dodge the strike, but Liwei's hand suddenly shifts in half-circular and goes down to his knee in a blink!

Crescent moon!

*CRACK*

"Agh!!"

The sharp pain rushes through his body, and the broken knee makes him fall to the ground.

"Know your place, you lowly creature."

"No!"

Even in immense pain, Ning Yue strikes at his opponent's weakness that lies in front of him, Liwei's manhood!

*BOOM*

The punch connected and sent Liao Liwei screaming.

"Agh!!!! YOU!!!"

Even if he is a cultivator and Ning Yue is a commoner, this is man's weakness.

"Angry, right? THEN FIGHT ME ALL YOU GOT!!!"

Ning Yue forces himself to stand up again.

He smiles brightly because he's starting to feel IT.

"THEN DIE!!"

Blinded by anger, Liao Liwei runs in with a glowing hand and unleashes a barrage of punches.

He no longer wants to torture Ning Yue. He wants him DEAD!

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

One punch after another, every time it hits, Ning Yue's body starts to show more and more severe injury, blood coming out from everywhere.

His head, his eyes, his mouth.

But he is still standing, taking punches while his eyes never give a sign of giving up!

Even amid blood and fist, Ning Yue always strikes back!

*BOOM*

"IT'S USELESS"

*BOOM*

"DON'T TRY IT. FORFEIT YOUR LIFE!"

*BOOM*

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!"

After so many punches, Ning Yue looks like a walking bag of meat, but he is still standing! In contrast to Liao Liwei, he starts to feel tired!

And fatigue creates an opening!

*BOOM*

Ning Yue launches a counterattack once again.

But this time, it hurt.

Very hurt.

"AGHHH! DIE!!!"

Liao Liwei screams and uses his technique at full power!

Azure style second form: the crescent moon!

His fist shone bright like the moon in the sky and slashed through the air, aiming to cut Ning Yue's head off clean in a single strike.

BUT!!

"LIWEI, WATCH OUT!!!"

*BOOM* *BAM*

Ning Yue easily slaps the hand away.

The martial power starts flowing out from Ning Yue's body like a waterfall flowing down a broken dam.

"So, this is it!"

Ning Yue starts to smile.

A smile of a maddening beast, hunger for battle.

"Wah?!"

Liwei is confused by the sudden pain; how?

HOW IS THIS COMMONER JUST GIVING HIM PAIN!

"This is the power!"

Ning Yue roars before sending another punch in Liwei's way.

*BOOM*

The punch flies at incredible speed straight to Liwei's face and sends him flying like in the past.

*CRACK*

"OF THE CULTIVATION!!!"

Ning Yue jumps straight to Liwei and launches a flying kick at

Liwei's body!

*CRACK*

"AHHH!!!"

Liwei's rib cage got broken by a single strike, making him cry in pain.

"This is it, the martial power! I finally reached the first realm of cultivation!!"

Ning Yue laughs like a maniac. He finally reaches it, his dream, his goal!

After seven years of training like crazy in a wood, without any help, with only 1 star, he became a cultivator!

"And it will be your last!"

Brother Fan jumps in to help his friend; he draws out his sword and slashes it at Ning Yue's head!

Azure style, third form!

"STOP!!!"

*BAM*

A strong wind suddenly blows behind and pushes the sword away from Fan's hand.

"Stop it, you disgraceful disciple! Is this what the Moon Sword sect disciple should be doing?!"

One older man in an azure blue garment speaks angrily.

"Third Elder?!"

Fan screams in fear.

"Is he safe?! Ning Yue! Don't worry; big sis is here!"

Qiao ran from behind him and rushed to Ning Yue's half-broken body.

"It's ok. I'm ok…"

After the battle abruptly stopped, he felt exhausted and suddenly collapsed in Qiao's warming arm.

"I will take him to our sect medical pavilion, you! Yao Fan! Carry your lackeys and follow me back! And I have to talk with your grandfather!"

"Yes…."

Yao Fan lifts his dying friend and looks back at Ning Yue with anger before running back to the sect.

"I will take it from here. After he awakes, I will send him to you."

"Thank you, Third Elder."

Qiao bows down to the third elder with gratitude.

"Don't thank me, Qiao. Just continuing to make everyone in the city smile with your food is enough."

The third elder gently lifts Ning Yue from Qiao's arm and jumps off in a hurry.

While running back to the sect, the third elder examines Ning Yue's body and is amazed by it.

'Such muscle! But he is only at the start of the body purification realm: The body cleansing stage, but it takes this age to break through? He should at least be at the Awakening inner power stage. How low is his potential?'

From an experienced eye, Ning Yue's body is that of a hardened warrior. His martial power may still be weak, but his existing raw power can easily compensate for it.

Normally, cultivators focus on their inner power and mind because these two factors are the most important in increasing one's stage or realm.

But there is another unpopular factor, the body.

Only those stuck in a realm for a long time will choose to cultivate their body to the limit, and the result is their incomparable destructive power within the same realm, but they exchange this power with their growth potential.

'Such foolish child, I must warn him that his path is wrong.'

The third Elder feels sorry for Ning Yue for training in such a wrong way this far.

But he would never believe how strong Ning Yue would become with his crazy way of cultivating.
