1 Born in another world
Day. A boy with minor injuries to his face is being faced by five other boys of the same age. Three of those five lying on the floor with wounds on their faces, but their injuries are larger than the other boy's. The two standing also have wounds on their faces, but their appearances are better than those on the ground.
"Do you want to continue? ". Says the boy in front of the other five.
The two boys stand up and look at each other, but they say nothing. Clearly they had no more confidence in continuing the fight.
"Hm. Since you do not intend to continue, I will not waste any more time with you. " Says the boy. He picks up his backpack that is on the floor and starts to pull away from the group of boys.
The two boys on the floor let out a sigh as they watched the boy walk away.
That boy walks the streets normally as if nothing had happened. Finally the kid stops in front of a house. Although the house is small and has a simple appearance, it has a large and beautiful garden with many flowers and plants.
The boy comes into the house, throws his backpack on the living room sofa, and heads toward the kitchen. In the kitchen the boy opens the refrigerator and finds a pot of soup.
"Oba, grandpa made soup today." Thought the boy.
The boy picks up the pot of soup and thinks.
"I just need to warm her up now."
After that, the boy's hands start to heat up. Making that soup stay hot quickly.
"Wang Huo, it seems like you've was fighting again."
Wang Huo takes a little startled to hear the voice. "Grandfather Fo, you were home. I had not seen you. "
The old man called Grandpa Fo was wearing a simple but clean white robe. His face had wrinkles indicating his age. But despite the wrinkles on his face, his features made him look like a kind and easily interacting gentleman.
"Looks like you faced someone strong today." Commented Grandpa Fo.
"That nothing, just a bunch of cowards. They can not beat me on their own, so they got together, but although they were in greater numbers they were not even pareos for me. Although I took a few strokes " Wang Huo answers with a smile on his face demonstrating his pride at having won a fight against several opponents.
The old man then gives a long sigh.
"Wang Huo, follow me." The old man then leaves the house and goes into the garden.
Wang Huo then places the empty soup pot on the table. And follows the old man. On the way out he sees the old man in the middle of the garden with his back to him and with both hands on his back looking up at the heavens.
"Wang Huo, today is the day of his 13th birthday"
"Yes"
"I promised your parents that I would tell you the truth about them when you turned 13." Speak Grandpa Fo, at that moment his eyes begin to glow showing that he is reminiscing of old events.
Wang Huo's body shakes lightly at those words. He was always curious about why he did not know his parents, but Grandpa Fo always avoided the subject by saying that it was no time for him to know about it. Even with Wang Huo insisting Grandpa Fo never told anything and in time Wang Huo stopped asking.
Hearing those words, Wang Huo's curiosity was dug up again.
"But they made me promise that I would only reveal the truth if you were willing to know and also pass a little test."
"Do you want me to tell you? "
"Yes," Wang Huo replied quickly. He became more anxious with each breath.
"Right. But I'm only going to tell you a few things first. To know the rest you will have to pass the test. "
"OK". Wang Huo nodded.
"Well, since you were little you can produce fire. And I always told you to keep it a secret. You must have realized that this is a skill that only you have. No person you know has this ability or any other similar "
Wang Huo then looks at his right hand and a small flame appears over the palm of his hand.
"The reason for this is simple. does not belong to this place. Or rather you do not belong to this world. "
Wang Huo has a little shock at hearing this.
"What are you talking about, Grandpa Fo? ". Question Wang Huo agitated. He always had the feeling that he did not belong this place even without regard to his ability to produce fire. But being someone from a different world has never crossed your mind.
"When you were still a baby I brought you into this world at the request of your father, the place where you were born has the energy of the heavens and the earth that people can absorb and strengthen. People with their abilities are common in that place "
Wang Huo becomes more and more disbelieving and curious when listening to Grandpa Fo.
"People who absorb and can transform into their own strength the energy of the heavens and the earth are called martial cultivators."
"There are several levels of cultivators, and the highest levels of cultivators have capabilities you can not even imagine." At that moment Grandpa Fo turns and faces Wang Huo.
"Wang Huo, I want to ask you a question. Do you want me to take you?
"Grandfather Fo, you must be kidding me, right? ". Wang Huo still does not believe the words he has just heard.
Grandfather Fo then raises one of his hands with his palm facing upwards and a flame begins to be produced. Quickly the flame begins to grow in height reaching 2 meters.
Wang Huo is impressed to see that. He never imagined that Grandfather Fo could also produce fire.
"Wang Huo, what I just told you is the truth. You must decide if you want to stay in this world or go back to your home world. "
"I wanna go". Wang Huo answers after a moment's reflection.
"I always felt that I did not belong here, even without regard to my special ability, so I want to go back. Not only that, I want to meet again with my parents and know why they sent me to this place. "
"It's all right. But for me to take you back you need to pass the test before. If you can not do that, I will not take you. "
"Okay," Wang Huo replied.
Grandpa Fo then turned around and threw a ring and a book to Wang Huo.
"In this book is written a cultivation technique that your Father prepared for you. You must learn to use this technique to pass the test. This ring is not a ring of this world, it has the ability to store objects, your Father also put some objects inside it. To place or remove objects you must infuse energy into it. The test is simple, you have to get the objects out of the ring. "
Wang Huo held the ring and the book in each hand. He squeezed the objects lightly. Grandpa Fo could see a glint in Wang Huo's eyes. He seemed very determined to pass this test.
"Well, you know the test now. I'm going to leave and let you train the cultivation technique. " Said Grandpa Fo.
"Hang on". Wang Huo replied.
"You said that in the other world there is the energy of the heavens and the earth that martial cultivators absorb. But in this world there do not seem to be such cultivators. Does not that mean that there is no such energy from the heavens and the earth to absorb? ". Wang Huo asked.
"Hm. Then you were able to understand the real difficulty of the test. But it is not that the energy of the heavens and the earth does not exist in this world. It's just that she is very thin in this world and no one can feel her. So there are no martial artists in this world. But for you it will be easier because you have a cultivation technique and you already have the ability to produce fire. " Grandfather replied.
Wang Huo looked once more at the ring and at the book and walked toward her room.
Wang Huo upon entering his room takes the book containing the cultivation technique left for him and begins to study it.
The technique explains how to position your body when you are cultivating, as well as how to keep your breath. The way the inner energy must be circulated by the body and how the energy of the heavens and the earth must be absorbed.
Reading how the technique works, Wang Huo is amazed at the part of the book that talks about how to circulate his energy. For before you can circulate your inner energy you must first absorb the energy of the heavens and the earth and infuse it into your dantian, so that your dantian "awakens." The dantian would then be responsible for providing the internal energy that would be circulated by the body.
After following the first steps of how to position the body and keep breathing. Wang Huo sits on his bed with his legs crossed. Your hands are placed on tops of your knees. Slowly he begins to regulate his breathing according to the way written in the book.
After achieving this, Wang Huo begins to empty his mind. Trying to feel the energy of the heavens and the earth present around them.
Two days pass quickly. Wang Huo awakens from his state of cultivation with his belly snoring. Wang Huo did not notice the passage of time and also did not make any progress in his cultivation.
Wang Huo then leaves the room and goes to the kitchen to pick up food. After feeding himself he returns to his room to continue his cultivation. This process is repeated for 3 months. Wang Huo would awaken from hunger every two or three days and would feed himself, immediately after that he would return immediately to his cultivation.
After these 3 months of intense cultivation Wang Huo begins to feel depressed. He spends all his time cultivating, even failing to go to school. All to succeed in this test and return to their home world. He also wants to find out what happened to his parents.
For he has strong feelings that something bad must have happened to them, after all, being sent to another world could not have been for a simple reason. He also did not believe he had been abandoned by them, since they sent Grandpa Fo to take care of him.
After a little reflection. Wang Huo improves his mental state and returns to cultivate, regardless of the reason he would find out as soon as he completed this test.
Wang Huo spent two more months growing. After so much time of cultivation he begins to make progress by feeling lightly the energy of the heavens and earth around him. But he notices something. The amount of energy around you is very small, almost as if it did not exist, so it was so difficult to perceive it. And with that low amount of energy, feeding your dantian so that it is "awakened" becomes something very time consuming.
After being able to feel the energy of heaven and earth Wang Huo takes another month to get enough energy to "awaken" his dantian.
"Sure, I got to fill my dantian." Commemorates Wang Huo. But he soon stopped celebrating because there was still a step for him to complete. The circulation of energy.
Wang Huo begins to follow the steps explained in the book he received and begins to circulate his energy through his body. As energy circulated through his body Wang Huo feels that his body begins to undergo minor transformations.
The cells of his body and even his blood seemed to be absorbing this energy and strengthening. This left Wang Huo a little surprised at first, but he soon understood what was happening, the energy should be strengthening his body making him stronger.
