Did you cheat?

Xiao Qiangwei was together with Couronne and a group of kids, playing together.

Kid 1: Hey, hey! Big Brother! Do you have any story to tell us?

Xiao Qiangwei: ...No. I really don't have anything interesting to tell about… Wow, my life certainly is boring… 'Just fighting and fighting, I need to search for an hobby.'

Couronne: Hey kids, do you want to play to hide and seek?

Kids: YES!!

Couronne: Alright, then Sir Chi-Xiao Qian…

Xiao Qiangwei: Xiao Qiangwei.

Couronne: Yeah, Xiao Qiangwei, will be counting, what do you think?

Xiao Qiangwei: Heh, good luck on hiding from me.

Xiao Qiangwei stood against a wall and started to count to 30.

Xiao Qiangwei: 30… 29… 28…

The kids and Couronne hid somewhere, and when Xiao Qiangwei finished to count, he smirked and used his Immortal Senses to find all of them. Yeah, it is shameless cheating like that, but he didn't care much about it.

Xiao Qiangwei: Here I come!

In less than 10 seconds, he already walked towards the first kid… Second… Third… Fourth… Couronne… Fifth… Sixth… Seventh… Eighth…

Xiao Qiangwei: Done.

Kid 2: How did you find all of us in such a short time?!

Kid 3: Big Brother, you are amazing!

Couronne: ...Did you cheat?

Xiao Qiangwei: Haha, how can one cheat in hide and seek?

Couronne's eyes narrowed and observed Xiao Qiangwei with suspiciousness, making him sweatdrop.

Couronne: I'll watch you…

Xiao Qiangwei: ...Ok? So… What now?

Couronne: Well, I would teach them to write now, if you want, you can go to accompany Riku, it's been 10 years since you two seen each other, right?

Xiao Qiangwei: Maybe I will… See you later.

Then he walked away, he reached Riku's room and knocked at the door.

Xiao Qiangwei: I'm coming in.

He opened the door and… Schwi was sitting over a sleeping Riku.

Xiao Qiangwei: ...Did I pick the wrong moment?

Riku woke up and noticed that Schwi was over his body, then he asked.

Riku: Schwi, do you mind if I ask you why you're sitting there straddling me?

Schwi: Riku, you instructed me to stay where you could see me.

Riku: I only meant for you to stay nearby.

Schwi: Question: If I am not in your line of sighting can you see me?

Xiao Qiangwei: ...Guess I'll go away. Besides, you stink, go bath yourself.

Riku: Bath?

Xiao Qiangwei: Don't worry, there is currently no one in the bath, so it's safe to take Schwi with you.

Riku: Alright, thanks.

Xiao Qiangwei: Hm, take this stone.

Xiao Qiangwei gave a stone filled with drawings to Riku, who checked through every drawing, not recognizing any of them.

Riku: ...What's this.

Xiao Qiangwei: Break it and I will be there almost immediately, I'll go out to have some fun against Giants.

Riku: It's strange how you can easily talk about slaughtering Giants…

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, if I kill more Dragons then I will destroy the ecosystem, they should be already less than 70 alive around the world, and if I attack them then the Old Deus that created them will come really for my ass, I am strong, but I have some limits too…

Even though I could kill one if I burn my blood essence…

Riku: Huh? You can kill an Old Deus?!

Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah, but the problem is finding them, and not only that, they are immune to space and time manipulation because they are just concepts given life from the world.

However, people like Artosh, who created the Flugels, is still a bit too hard to fight against since he is currently the strongest one…. Maybe I could try to fight him in future, for now I will aim for the weaker ones… Welp, I'm leaving.

Xiao Qiangwei teleported away, leaving Riku and Schwi with the stone.

[Later]

Xiao Qiangwei was using his World Piercer to block 3 Giants' long blades, each Giant looked like a knight that was as tall as a mountain, each strike of theirs looked like they could destroy half a continent, but it wasn't a problem for Xiao Qiangwei to block them, since both of them were at the same cultivation rank.

The real problem was the ground he currently was, since it couldn't support the weight of the 3 strikes, sending Xiao Qiangwei underground. However, he jumped in the sky and held World Piercer over his head, before slashing down.

Xiao Qiangwei: Final Fallen Spear: Fallen Down.

That single strike bisected a Giant in two, surprising the other 2. Then he charged the barded blade of the spear with Immortal Qi and swung it horizontally.

Xiao Qiangwei: Second step of the Phoenix Slaughter: The Wings Split the Moon.

The image of a phoenix appeared behind Xiao Qiangwei, and when he swung his spear horizontally, the image swung his wing at the same direction.

The Giants placed their long swords in front of them to try to block the attack, which was successfully blocked, even if cracks appeared over the weapons.

Then one of them raised his arm, and a pillar of rock came from below Xiao Qiangwei, heading towards him.

He just swung down with his spear, causing the pillar to shatter in half, the next moment, Xiao Qiangwei raised one arm and threw a palm attack to an incoming long blade, breaking it in two pieces.

Then, with the same arm, he charged his Dragon Cannon: 3rd Type, against the head of a Giant, releasing a beam that reduced the Giant's head in ashes.

For the last one, he swung his World Piercer while using the Snake Whip from the tip of the spear, the Qi-made whip coiled around the Giant's neck, and Xiao Qiangwei pulled him up with all of his strength.

Surprisingly the Giant was lifted up from the momentum of this whip and was slammed at the other side, in the ground.

The whip disappeared and Xiao Qiangwei flew straight at the Giant's heart, piercing it.

And so, he won against the Giants, again. With a smile on his face, he flew away, searching for more fun… Maybe it's time to challenge an Old Deus… Let's go to hunt more Dragons.
