Let the destruction begin. (1)

New moon city was filled with the sounds of practitioners testing their wits or talking about the banquet that will occur today, inside of the new moon palace.

An occasion for many youngsters to test their battle strength and be recognized among the congregation of aspiring cultivator.

For those who were knowledgeable on the circumstances surrounding this banquet however, especially for practitioners within the confines of the new moon palace, they are all aware with unconflicted certainty that this banquet was means for the other sects to humiliate the palace. It is a culture, if spoken with truth. Every year, the same ending will occur, combatants of the new moon palace will be wrecked by the likes of the xiao side branch, the burning heaven sect's side branch, and other high ranking sects within the city.

Through means completely surreal and unexpected for a youth no older than 16, yun che surprisingly managed to reach the nascent profound realm first level without utilizing the evil god seed. An unexpected occurrence, however his tenacity has been an ongoing theme throughout the novel, it is always wise to assume that specific people who inherently have such indomitable will can do the impossible not once, or twice, but as many times as need be.

after registering in the new moon profound palace and the brief information about the banquet spoken by yumba, yun che found himself sitting in the middle row, where a couple of beautiful girls were freely interacting. His lips parted in short lasting interest as his gaze wandered towards their proportions, soaking it all in before hesitantly averting his gaze. Mhm, this is the true nature of a man. Beauty is something to be admired. A satisfactory smile was plastered on his face, though the beginning of the banquet quickly captured his wayward interest once more.

After introducing everyone and giving a pledge for this to be a friendly spar and nothing more, qin wuyou returned to his seat. As the current palace chief and a cultivator at the earth profound realm, his experiences when dealing with people run deep. How could he not be aware of the mocking gaze emanating from these sect leaders and their students? Lamentable. Despite all of this, he still choose to smile constantly, his position as palace chief will be short lasting anyways.

The banquet began without a hitch, the sects, as expected, displayed arrogance that is understandable if one considers their status within the city.

An elder of the profound heart sect stood up from his seat and smiled slyly

"How about we use age as means to determine who fights who? Of course, if someone who is younger beats an opposition who is older, the scenario will be all the more noteworthy" the elder laughed softly, however the mockery within his voice could definitely not be hidden. It was implying, in short, that even if someone on our side where to fight someone who is older, we will still win.

The elder's smile brightened as he continued on with his rant " xiao wu, please go up the stage, do make sure to specify your age. It is of paramount importance"

" yes sir" a youth eagerly spoke while simultaneously using profound energy to jump from the last row all the way to the fighting ground, landing with his hands behind his back.

"My name is xiao wu, everyone. I'm 16 years old, I do wonder who will be willing to step forward and accept my challenge" his eyes darted towards the cultivators sitting in the new moon palace, the glint of disdain ever so apparent.

The new moon profound palace cultivators knew that this was an attempt to rile them up, however despite knowing this fact, they could not bear to let this mockery attempt go unanswered, as mere youngsters, their tolerance level is pitifully low.

A disciple named Li hao Jumped down into the stadium and resolutely said ""New Moon Profound Palace Class One's Li Hao, please advise me!"

"Hmpth, I suppose It won't hurt to give you some pointers." xiao wu snarkily remarked as he nonchalantly widened his legs, an attempt to take on a lax battle posture, with the obvious purpose of giving off the air that his enemy is a squashable ant that requires no effort at all.

Li hao furiously roared while simultaneously activating his profound energy and flying forward with unbridled momentum. His right fist clenched in anger as he mightily punched outwards, a combination of yellow energy and pure strength factored into the simple showcase of power.

Xiao wu smirked in arrogance, a purple energy similarly appeared on his hands as the incoming punch was cleanly blocked, his other remaining hand cocked bad in a small time frame, the purple energy surrounding his palm intensified

""Purple Cloud Palm!"

The purple light flew outwards and solidified, striking li hao in the stomach which consequenced the blood spurting out of his mouth in gushes. The new moon palace student flew like a massless entity into the wall behind him, striking it heavily. His body lied crumpled up on the ground, no movements could be seen from him.

"Li hao!"

"Junior brother Li!"

Two disciples from the New Moon Profound Palace quickly rushed out to help support the defeated Li Hao back. All the disciples from the New Moon Profound Palace felt perturbed in their hearts. Li Hao and Xuan Yu were of similar ages; their profound strengths only differed by one rank. Even if he could not win, he should have at least been able to hold out for a while. However, just after the two faced off, Li Hao had been utterly crushed.

"You let me win" xia wu smiled slightly, his energy consumption was minuscule if not non existent. He required but a single move to decimate his opponent and win the fight. If this is what is required to beat the opposition, he might as well take on all challengers.

"I wonder who would be the next friend from New Moon Profound Palace that's coming to exchange some pointers?"

To be defeated this fiercely with only two maneuvers, it made all the sixteen years old disciples of New Moon Profound Palace nervous in their hearts; none of them dared to take the stage. This was because Li Hao was considered the most powerful out of the sixteen year olds in New Moon Profound Palace; If any other 16 year old were to go up, destruction was what awaited them.

Xiao wu sneered inwardly, this was of course to be expected. His performance was too bright, hence the reason why no one wanted to fight him. I Suppose this is not too bad at all, I will be recognized as the sole individual to cause all other disciples from the new moon profound palace to sit in their seats and cower in fear at my power.

While harboring these thoughts of self satisfaction and pride, a white figure suddenly flew out of an auspicious location within the guest seats and landed enelentagly in the opposite end of the stadium.

The relevance of this person sent shock to almost everyone present in this banquet.

The youth, no, the boy possessed white hair that cascade down pristenly along the perfect surface that what his face. Scarlet eyes that were as deep as the ocean rippled with calm and indifference, his whole physical make up screamed something of otherworldly grace.

What surprised everyone, however, was how suffocatingly young this new combatant is, doubt even began surfacing among the hearts of certain individuals. Yet, despite their desire to protest on why this boy was standing in the stadium, the new moon profound palace insignia on his luxurious robe hinted at his true status and thus ensured his definite ability to fight.

Azazel calmly gazed at the profound heart sect disciple in front of him, silence issued forth in the entire stadium and guest stand.

" Well, who might you be, little brother" xia wu decided to test the waters, his smile faltering slightly after witnessing the otherworldly beauty of his opponent.

Azazel, as expected, paid no heed to the question, but instead choosing to ask one of his own.

" are you ready, or not?"

"Ready? Of course I'am. attack anytime you want"

" if you are ready, why can I so easily appear behind you. I take it you must be joking, yes?"

Xia wu heard the familiar voice from behind him, his eyes widened into saucers as he realized in unbelievable shock that the white haired boy who was standing in front of him prior disappeared!

Everyone in the stadium stood motionless, even their thinking process halted for a momentary second. One nano second they were looking at the boy elegantly standing in one position, and boom, he was gone. Even the elders with prized cultivation did not see the occurrence, this… speed, it was dreadful.

Xia wu gulped in exasperation, his eyes peered into the familiar scarlet pupils that seemed to classify him as nothing but a bug. A forced smile tugged the corners of his lips, trying to faint obvious nonchalance at what occurred prior.

" wow, little brother, thats some nasty speed you have there, But i'm ready now. LEt's begin shall we"

Azazel raised his eyebrow slightly, the simple action inducing faint cries of lovestruck maiden within the stands.

Without even wasting a second, his body disappeared into nothingness, appearing to the left of his opponent as he opened his mouth in cold vocalization.

" that saves me the time of hearing your pitiful excuses"

Everyone in the stadium stood silence while watching the boy raise a single finger towards the precise location of xia wu's temple, which directly cause the latter to fly out like broken kite into the already shattered wall behind him, the collision caused him to faint immediately.

...

"Next."

One word. Yet they never expected it to be uttered from a new moon profound palace student… And a 12 years old boy at that!
