Chapter 13

Cyrus exited the cave and started his return journey to Summer city, Cyrus did not exactly know which direction he had to go so he tried to return to the area where Maria dropped her off.

The direction Cyrus chose was the opposite way home. Cyrus ran for three hours before seeing a city. The city had a beautiful city gate it was decorated with silver and gold with images of red tigers and lions and a pegasus at the top. The city wall looked very thick and had a height of 15 meters with an ashy color.

After getting closer to the city walls Cyrus immediately noticed that he had gone the wrong way because this was not Summer city.

''Sigh''

Cyrus sighed, he was very tired he has not had a nice sleep in a long time so he decide to rest before buying a map to know where he had to go.

Cyrus walked up to the guard at the city entrance. The guard had a cultivation at the peak of the foundation establishment.

''One low-grade spirit stone or low-grade beast core, qi gathering beast core for one week stay, foundation establishment core three-week stay and a crystal core for two-month stay same as a low-grade spirit stone, if you wish to stay longer you have to get a permit for official residency.'' Said the guard with an emotionless voice it sounded like he said the same thing a million times. And he did

The guard informed Cyrus of this since Cyrus did not look like someone that is a resident of Fire Torch city.

A spirit stone is formed in places where the concentration of spiritual energy is high, such places have a high chance of forming a spirit mine. low grade stands for the first three realms of cultivation, qi gathering, foundation establishment, and Crystal core realm the same stands for beast cores.

Cyrus decided to pay with a foundation establishment beast core since that was the lowest grade core he had on him, the guard gave Cyrus a slip of paper where there stands that Cyrus could only stay for 3 weeks.

''If you stay longer than what stands on your permission slip you will be killed on the spot, so be careful.'' Said the guard towards Cyrus since Cyrus was still a little kid and it would be a pity if he died of something so silly as staying too long in the city.

Cyrus nodded and walked into the city, the city was full of people shopping, chatting, or selling it was a bustling city, a lot of people were at the foundation establishment realm and some at the Crutal core realm some of the people were even so strong that Cyrus felt extremely threatened by them, he only got this feeling from Jonathan before he broke through to the earth realm so they had to be at the peak of the Crystal core realm.

Cyrus looked for an inn, Maria taught him a lot of things to survive in the outside world. The first inn that Cyrus came across was named drifting cloud inn.

The inside of the inn was full of tables that were occupied there was no place to dine for Cyrus. Cyrus decided to check if there was an empty room for him as.

''I'm sorry, dear customer all rooms are booked.'' Said the inn lady. Cyrus nodded his head and left the inn.

Cyrus tried three more inns but came out fruitless, so Cyrus tried one more before he planned to give up and sleep in an alley. The one that Cyrus tried is called triumphant return it is specially made for soldiers of the spark kingdom.

After entering the inn Cyrus saw a lot of soldiers wearing a mix of linen and leather clothing there was approximately as much as a full platoon, after entering the inn Cyrus looked around only to see all of the soldiers looking at him silently.

''What is a kid doing here.''

''Hahaha, it seems like everyone can enter here nowadays.''

''Let's give him a drink before we throw him out.''

''Hahahahahah.'' Laughed all the soldiers in the dining hall at what the last soldier said.

Cyrus ignored all the soldiers and walked up to the man he thought was the inn's owner. ''I want a room.'' Said, Cyrus.

''Hahahahhahaha.'' The soldiers laughed louder hearing Cyrus. The man Cyrus thought was the owner was the owner, but unlike the dining soldiers the inn owner did not laugh, he told Cyrus patiently.''Kid, this is an inn for soldiers to rest in, so unless you are a student of the military academy or a soldier of the kingdom you have to leave.''

One of the drunk soldiers stood up and walked towards Cyrus unsteadily while saying.''Hahaha, look at that little kid he has a spear strapped on his back.'' The drunk soldier grabbed the spear on Cyrus's back, Cyrus got finally mad, even a saint would get mad after being made fun of. Cyrus released his aura at the initial stage of the Crystal core realm.

All the soldiers were experiencing a great amount of pressure, but nobody was experiencing as much as the drunk soldier that had grabbed Cyrus's spear.

In the VIP room of the inn, a man was startled awake from feeling an aura at the Crystal core realm, he immediately grabbed his gear and ran downstairs, and the man arrived shortly after Cyrus released his aura.

''What is happening here!'' Barked the man at the same time he released his aura at the same time. An aura much stronger than Cyrus's countered that of Cyrus. The man was surprised to see a kid so young in the Crystal core realm.

A soldier walked up to the man and explained everything that happened truthfully.

''Kid, let's see what you got.''
