Chapter 5

Li Xiaolong quickly looked at their house from afar. Li Xiaolong felt nervous about the object he was holding even in the vast Bloody Gem River. It is not covered by their Li Clan because only a small percentage of the river flows into their territory. The truth of the matter is that vast farms surround their territory which he knows his father will rebuke him for these events. He thought of not disclosing the life-tax events because he would surely give a great sermon to his mother.

He does not know whose territory covers the vast river that serves to protect them. Many questions were playing in Li Xiaolong's mind. He just ignored it and accelerated his walk towards their house while carrying the big monster fish.

It was six in the morning when Li Xiaolong arrived at their house. He immediately entered their yard while still carrying the big monster fish.

His father saw him immediately as he was feeding their pet pig. In fact, they have many different animals that are cared for even by wild beasts that they usually eat such as wild boar, wild ducks and others that can be said to be low-grade beasts.

"Oh, where are you from son? Why did you wake up so early?" Li Qide's introductory questions to his son Li Xiaolong.

"Ah ... eh ... I just went for a walk by the river father." Li Xiaolong said as he quickly hid behind him the monster fish whose name he did not yet know.

"Really? What are you hiding behind your back?" Li Qide said to his son when he noticed something was hiding his son behind it that seemed restless.

"Ah ... Please don't be angry, father. What is this animal, Father?" Li Xiaolong said while showing his father what he was hiding.

A mixture of shock and fear suddenly arose in Li Qide's feelings especially since one of the dreaded monsters was holding his son.

W-where did you see that son? N-that's a very dangerous n-creature son! "Li Qide said to his son with a frightened feeling.

Li Xiaolong immediately released the monster he was carrying in his hand.

"Why father, what kind of animal is this?" Li Xiaolong asked his father obviously with curiosity.

Li Qide immediately approached his son and carefully examined the monster that his son had been holding earlier.

Liqe saw the scary form of the monster which was a kind of Demonic Beasts especially since its eyes were so red. It was still bouncing with fins that were very long but seemed to have no force.

After examining the said monster he suddenly looked at his son with a complex expression on its face.

"The monster you've been holding lately is a Black Roping Fish that can be said to be a First Grade Magical Beast whose strength can be compared to a Peak Viscera Training Stage but since it's still young it is definitely in the Middle Strength Training Stage. it's just that "said his father as if wondering and gave information to his son Li Xiaolong.

"Huh ?! Magical Beasts? Peak Viscera Training Stage? Middle Strength Training Stage ?!" Li Xiaolong said in astonishment while looking at his father. He obviously has no idea what his father Li Qide is saying.

"Ah ... Eh ... Uhmmm son s -------" Li Qide was about to speak when he suddenly heard the chirping of the Seven White Stripped Horses or better known as Tiger Horse/s. It is a Hybrid Martial Beasts that is suitable to be mounted or transported by the soldiers or warriors of a kingdom or organization. These Tiger Horses are naturally fast because this horse has the blood of a White Tiger due to its cleverness and being the only one in the field of speed.

When Li Qide saw the unexpected visitors of their place, fear filled his heart and mind especially since he was confused by this strange event. Only once did foreigners come to their place or even any warriors from large and powerful lands.

"Go inside first, son, and tell your mother to postpone leaving Li Clan territory first." Li Qide said to his son Li Xiaolong with a reminder.

Li Qide is sure that it is not about the upcoming competition in having a chance for any child who is just starting to tread the path of Cultivation to enter the Cosmic Dragon Institute. He learned from the people in the market that it was formally announced that seven years from now the said competition will be held so he also wants his son to enter to become a strong Martial Art Expert in the future. He did not want Li Xiaolong to be like their fate. Only a small percentage of her son can enter the Crimson Dragon Institute but she believes her son has hidden potential.

Li Qide lost sight of what he was thinking when he saw up close the soldiers wearing heavy and thick types of armor. They also held red long swords causing groups of people to disperse in the area that was the route of the Li Clan and neighboring families and clans. In the posture and design of the soldiers Li Qide definitely knew them.

"Sky Flame Kingdom" only exclaimed Li Qide when he saw the soldier of the kingdom he did not know what their intention was to go to their place.

Li Qide's heart was filled with fear because of this as well. There were two large kingdoms near their place that they knew there was a big conflict here. First is the Sky Flame Kingdom and the second kingdom is the Sky Ice Kingdom. Apart from the fact that their policies are different, even their principles are also different. As a result there was great chaos and damage caused due to the misunderstanding of the two kingdoms. Fortunately and a decade of silence the two kingdoms for unknown reasons. As time went on, it was forgotten, especially since it had been a long year.

Li Qide knew that in their area no one was interested in it even the vast realm of the Sky Flames Kingdom. In fact, they are covered by the Sky Flames Kingdom, but due to the naturally low percentage of talent, those who become Martial Artists here, especially since the only position of Martial Artists is that they are hunters who accept missions to get unique. things like Spiritual Herbs or fight with Magical Beasts. If other Martial Artists want to come only in their place or in ordinary lands, their position will definitely be high but only a few have stayed because of the violent and very complicated path in the field of Martial Arts but many venture to achieve. the desired success.

...

From within the Li Clan suddenly emerged Sandro Li who was the Area Chief along with the four Elders of the Li Clan. Their unexpected arrival is not just a guest, especially since they are soldiers of a kingdom close to them. They had to give respect to those in charge of the kingdoms near them. They are just one of the many clans that are here so it cannot be denied that they are just ordinary citizens of Dou City of Tang Country. Who would have thought that the Sky Flame Kingdom would send troops to their area. This is what troubles the mind of Sandro Lina who is the Chief of the Li Clan.

But he did nothing but confront his guests respectfully.

"The whole Li Clan wishes our esteemed guest respectfully. What can we serve you?" Sandro Li said in a calm voice as a sign of respect. He was the only one speaking and the Elders were silent behind him. Sandro Li did not know that a large kingdom of the Sky Flames Kingdom would send personal troops to cover their area of ​​this kingdom. They knew that when this kingdom took an interest in them their state in their area would surely increase. The status of the Li Clan is very low especially since their Cultivation Resources are limited and their Cultivation Level is only low.

Undoubtedly their Li Clan has a large population but they only raised low Martial Artists and almost only as many as they cared for.

"You may be wondering why we Sky Flame Kingdom soldiers are here. You are the last clan on the list we went to. We are going personally this is because someone wants to announce the kingdom covered by this area. In the future that one year there will be a competition to give the new generation to be a strong Martial Artist in the future.We will give rewards to anyone who becomes an outer disciple of Sky Flame Academy.The rewards are Cultivation Resources like Cultivation Pills, Herbs, Weapons etc. Even families or clans will also receive benefits.It is unlikely to deny you that Sky Flame Academy is one of the prestigious schools for Martial Artists covered by the Sky Flame Kingdom.This is because also at the command of Her Majesty the Queen and king as well as the Royal Courts and Elders.All subjects of the Sky Flame Kingdom must participate especially since it is also for b benefit your future generations. " Long narrative of a soldier. You can see in its red armor that it is a messenger soldier especially since it has a red envelope symbol on its left chest. Even though they are a soldier, they are not as expert in the field of combat as the soldiers. They are obviously trained to send a message and only escape and other messaging kalse they are experts.

"Sky Flame Academy, this is one of the strong and popular Academy just for Martial Artist geniuses. I can't believe there will be this kind of opportunity given our majesty. I want to convey a message to the Dear King and Queen that we are absolutely welcomes this opportunity and our deepest gratitude for this great opportunity. Expect us to respond to this announcement. " Sandro Li said in a gentle voice but his knees were shaking with excitement especially since this is not just an announcement especially since the Li Clan has a chance to show their hidden talents especially in the field of Martial Arts.

"Expect me to let the dear king and queen know your gratitude, we will go first." The messenger soldier said in his simple voice but it obviously showed that he was more than just the people here.

Even though Sandro Li, who is the Chief of the Li Clan, noticed this, he just ignored it. He knew that the Li Clan was only one of the considered weak forces of the Sky Flame Kingdom. Their place can be said to be just ordinary land compared to the Sky Flame Kingdom. The entire Sky Flame City is ruled by the Sky Flame Kingdom. Who can oppose lifting? Even he chose to just keep quiet rather than howl. Only strong beings can rule and the weak become slaves of the strong.

When the messenger soldiers left, Sandro Li and the Elders of the Li Clan breathed a sigh of relief.
