Chapter 5

A year has passed since the incident with the Demon. And Jah was still training in the Way of the Dragon and he has already master 90% of the Art.

In a mountain nearby, we can see a figure meditating on the peak cross-legged. Breathing in and breathing out at certain intervals. As he breathes out, slowly a figure of an Eastern Dragon appears behind him sucking all the sun rays hitting the figure.

It was none other than Jah, our MC.

"Foooooo . 9% more and I have considered master of the art." While saying that, he tapped a nearby tree and the tree had a circular hole that pierced through it.

"The energy controls are perfect as well."

[You've been training for a year and you still have yet mastered the art. A normal human would've mastered it already.]

"Shut up, its because I was out hunting for food occasionally or else I might've starved to death."

[Good point, my standard was those well-off kids in the cities. Unlike my host who id living here in the forest.]

"Atleast I'm not spoiled like them."

Saying that, he stood up and stretched his back for ansecond before patting the dusts off.

"System, show me my Skills."

[Aiyooo.]

As you can see there was some changes for the Status and Arts tab. The % sign signifies mastery over the Skill/Arts. Every 25%/50%/75% there is a task that is assigned to the user, if the task failed the arts would reset back to 0% and the user would have to retrain it. If the user completes the task, the skill/art would increase to 26%/51%/76% respectively. Once the skill/art reaches 100%, it is eligible to evolve/upgrade to a greater skill/art and undergoes qualitative changes.

"But there are hidden qualities once I have reached 100% and evolved the certain skill/art."

[Correct. Like your skill (Blink), it doesn't use Qi/Energy to use once it has reached its maximum potential.]

"With that said and done, I should train more."

[Hold your horses! You should know, we need to go to a sect to improve your skills as well as gain techniques.]

"I could just go to the library... RIGHT!"

[Copy all the techniques inside their library and then we compile them, I'll send the compiled version into your brain that has the least mistakes or perfected.]

"Then let's go!"

Using the Map function, he navigated through it and looked up on all the cities around the forest. By the way, the name of the forest he was in right now ever since the start was Starsky Forest, it says that once every 2 years a star stone would fall down the forest. The Star Stone could help make a good equipment.

[Talk about luck, look in the sky bud.]

*swoosh* *sounds if lightning cracking*

[Well move out if the way will 'ya? Or you wanna be hit and killed by that stone?]

Being warned by the System, he put all his strenght into his legs and pushed the ground. He travelled in Mach 1 to the North just to prevent himself from being inside the radius of the explosion.

You can see his eyes turning blood red dignifying he had entered combat mode.

"Phewww, that was fckin close."

[Only a milimetro short and your dead dumbass.]

"Well, let's go back and get that stone for myself, I think I need a new dagger."

Travelling back at Mach 1, he soon saw a stone filled with light. It was oozing of Qi and it was majectic to behold.

[Quick, put that in the inventory! I detect stronger lifeforms heading this way, probably wanting to get their hands on that stone. Run right after you get it!]

Putting it away as fast as he can, he used blink and soon after some bigshots arrived at the perimeter together with their disciples.

"Someone seems to have got the stkne before us... search for the man/woman. I want him dead or alive." A man in what seems like his thirties with a red hair flowing through the skies said that to a follower of his and looked at the others that have arrived.

"Ara-ara, it seems like we were too slow. Sadly it seems someone was faster than us." A teen looking woman with the perfect curves to make a man lust after her said it loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear.

"Hohoho, this old man never expected that the leader of the Frozen Cloud Sect would be dreaming to acquire the Star Stone." An old man with long beard put into a braid as well as his long hair said that to the teen lady.

"Old man, you too?" Said the red haired man to the old man.

"Ah! Leader of the Phoenix Fire Sect, Alfonso Raymond. It is a sight to see that you want something so lowly as the stone." (Old Man)

"You can call me Ray in short Old Man of the Heavenly Wind." (Ray)

"Then I should as well, Clair of the Frozen Cloud Sect." (Clair)

"Old Man Fro, that's what my disciples calls me." (Old Man Fro)

"So I presume none of us have the stone, seeing that we have arrived at the same time." (Clair)

"Yes, it seems so." (Ray) with a frown on his face as he cannot detect the stone anymore.

"Shall we team up for the sake of the stone? We of the Heavenly Wind can cut the stone into 3 so we can share." (Old Man Fro)

"No, I want the stone whole." (Ray)

"I disagree as well." (Clair)

"Is that so, well then. I must get going in search of the stone. Goodluck." (Old Man Fro)

While that was happening, Jah was currently listening to the leaders.
