Qing Tian was actually relieved that his mother didn't first ask for an explanation about the paper. He didn't mind telling her about his newfound abilities as a Saint, but it would then be followed by nonsensical biddings from his mother.

Small stuff like taking out the trash, cleaning the table, remove the Shuras from existence, or even refilling her cup with water.

His mother would just find the time to ask him for such small stuff.

"It was a paper I had created after I had found a new technique," said Qing Tian, lying a little. "It takes a lot of energy from me and I didn't think the paper would work that time…"

"Hmm…" Lin Xue looked at her son, looking for anything that might point to him lying.

"Is it gone already?" Qing Tian asked, ignoring his mother's stare.

"No…" muttered Lin Xue as she turned her head sideways.

Qing Tian narrowed his eyes at her words and sighed, 'I might have poured too much insight into it. It was my first time doing something like this, so it might have been rather amateurish.'

"Hais… just let it disappear," said Qing Tian in a barely audible whisper.

With a sigh, Qing Tian followed his mother over to his room and entered. When they entered, Qing Tian was rather surprised but remembered his earlier words.

Lin Xue on the other hand was shocked and didn't know what to say. She looked at the empty room in shock.

The ball of fire in the middle of the room that continuously attracted flying insects was completely gone.

Why?

Because Qing Tian wanted it gone, so the ball of fire listened and disappeared.

Which was once again one of the abilities of being a Saint.

Speak and the universe itself will bend to your will.

Thinking about that, the corner of Qing Tian's lips began to twitch.

'Right… I need to be careful with what I say,' thought Qing Tian as he glanced at his mother and apologized to her in his heart.

"Looks like it finally disappeared," said Qing Tian as he entered the room and examined it.

"Humph!"

Lin Xue crossed her arms and followed behind Qing Tian as he examined the room.

…

Cling!

Back at Ares Martial Hall, Lin Feng was up on stage fighting against a young man with a sword.

"Guh! Looks like you really are a genius," said the young man with a smile on his face.

His body was riddled with wounds from the sword in Lin Feng's hand. With a trembling body, the man tried to execute another sword move before falling and passing out.

Lin Feng stopped and waved his sword to throw off the blood before returning the sword to its scabbard.

With the Sword sheathed, Lin Feng ignored the cheering crowd and left the ring.

"You did great today, Old Feng," said Tang Zhenliu as he greeted Lin Feng at the exit of the ring. "You suffered no wound this time."

"I will be training under Heaven, of course this much is needed to train under him," said Lin Feng as he smirked and glanced at his friend.

Tang Zhenliu chuckled and nodded, "Nicely said my friend."

The two best friends bumped fists and went to change clothes before leaving Ares Martial Hall at the back door exit.

Leaving together, the two friends decided to walk to their homes.

Usually they would ride their personal ships and head straight to the next planet whilst sleeping in them, but they decided to listen to Qing Tian.

Before Qing Tian had left, he had told them to try out a nearby food place that had very delicious food.

"Where was this place he recommended?"

Tang Zhenliu took out his phone and checked the GPS, wondering where it was.

On the other hand, Lin Feng was glancing around curiously. It was one of his first times out in the world.

Usually he would either be in God's Sanctuary, at a dinner, or sparring with other people from the Alliance. He didn't tend to take strolls like this and make time for himself.

As they were passing by an ally, Lin Feng's eyes caught on to something.

"Get down!"

With a fast reaction time, Lin Feng pushed Tang Zhenliu to the side and jumped aside himself.

Pew!

Two daggers flew past Lin Feng, missing him by just a hair's breadth.

Glaring at the dark alley, Lin Feng quickly summoned a Sacred Blood sword and got into his sword stance.

"Who's there?!" Lin Feng yelled, his hair standing up in alert.

Tang Zhenliu followed Lin Feng and summoned his Beast soul armor and a bow and arrow.

"Hehehehhee…"

A creepy and eerie laugh echoed in the slow as two Blood red eyes were shining in the darkness.

"Master was right about you two… You ARE very talented," chuckled the man in the shadows.

The creepy laugh and the raspy voice made both Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu tense up. They both knew that they couldn't fight against the man before them.

It was an instinctual feeling… a feeling they usually only felt when they met Evolvers and above as well as when they met Qing Tian.

However, that didn't make them give up just because they knew they couldn't defeat the person in front of them.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked, glancing at Tang Zhenliu who drew his bow and was ready to shoot at a moment's notice.

However, the man didn't answer and instead the blood red eyes in the alley turned into crescent moons, smiling with a dark feeling to them.

"EHEHEHEHE!"

At that instant, Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng felt their bodies go cold. Without thinking much about it, both young men knew that it was time to go on the offensive.

Shiuu!

Tang Zhenliu let go of the string and let the arrow whistle through the air and straight through the middle of the blood red eyes.

"GYAHAHAHA! YOU MISSED! YOU MISSED!"

"HEHEHE! HE MISSED! HE MISSED!"

Laughs burst within the alley as the two blood red eyes turned to look at each other. Ridiculing Tang Zhenliu and the fact that he had supposedly missed, the eyes separated and shocked both Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng as they realized that the two blood red eyes were actually two different people.

"Master said that they were geniuses, but that other one missed! EHEHEHEHE!"

"Shhh! GYAHAHA! Too bad we can't rip them apart! Geehehe! Master said they will join us… GYAHA!"

Again, the eyes began talking to each other before they left the darkness and revealed two figures.

As Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng watched the figures emerge, they were shocked by two things.

One, both figures looked alike. The only difference being their eyes where one had an operational left eye and the other had an operational right eye.

However, the biggest shock was the fact that they were both not from the same race.

The figure with the functional right eye has a purple horn on his forehead.

"A Royal Shura…" muttered Lin Feng as he watched the shura man giggle like a crazy man.

He didn't believe it at first since Shuras always wear masks and are closely linked to their culture and race. A mask is like their identity, without it, they have no name nor life.

But seeing the purple horn, Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu were sure that the being before them is definitely a Shura.

"What is he doing here… this planet is far away from the frontlines…" muttered Tang Zhenliu as he stumbled back in fear.

Unlike humans, the Shura are born strong.

They don't need to train to become strong and naturally reach a high level of strength as they get older. However, they are limited by the purity of their bloodline.

Black, white, gold, and purple…

Those are the four colors of the Shuras horns.

Black horned Shura can only grow to be as strong as a super creature from the First God's Sanctuary. They were the most common and were referred to as the civilians of the Shura Race.

White Horned Shura are as strong as Evolvers, or rather Super Creatures the Second God's Sanctuary. They were considered the elite of the race despite not being as strong as the Gold and Purple horned shura.

Gold Horned Shura are as strong as Surpassers, or Super creatures from the Third God's Sanctuary. They were aristocrats, the nobles of the Shura Race.

Finally, there was the Purple Horned Shuras, they were as strong as Demigods when they become adults. They are considered royalty, and they are the strongest the Shura can offer.

Usually the Shura can't get stronger, and if they try to force their way into the Sanctuaries, their bodies get sick and they die in just 5 days.

However, they also have the techniques that supplement that and allow them to explore further from their usual strength. To showcase strength greater than their peers, coupled with their strong bodies, the Martial Arts of the Shuras are strong.

So, not only were both Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng up against two people who were obviously stronger than them, but one of them is definitely a demigod that can kill them instantly.

'They both look… so alike…'

Lin Feng couldn't help but think that despite being so afraid of the current situation. After all, the person next to the Shura was definitely a human.

"Ehhehe… Master said not to kill them… he needs them… hehe…" chuckled the Shura as it turned to the human on its left.

"GYAHAHA! SHUT UP LEFT BLOOD EYE," said the man as he glared at the Shura with his only eye, the right eye.

The Shura clicked its tongue with a smile before turning to look at the two young men.

"Old Liu…" muttered Lin Feng. "Be prepared to run…"

Tang Zhenliu turned to look at Lin Feng and glared at him.

"I'm not leaving…"

Tang Zhenliu knew what Lin Feng was planning to do. After being friends since they were babies, Tang Zhenliu can pretty much guess what this friend of his will think of.

'To sacrifice yourself… do you think I'll let you do that…'

Pulling on the string of the bow, a beast soul arrow appeared.

"I won't let you do it!" Tang Zhenliu yelled with a smile on his face, his legs trembling in fear.

Lin Feng turned to look at Tang Zhenliu and smiled, "You bastard…"

Pheww!

The arrow was set loose and flew straight to the man who just stood there with a smile on his face.

Cling!

Contrary to the expectations of Tang Zhenliu, the arrow hit the man and bounced off as if a rock hit a steel plate.

Lin Feng expected as much, so the instant the arrow was set loose, he sprang like a bullet being shot and ran straight to the man with his beast soul sword.

It might not do anything, but it was the best he could do in such a situation.

"These damn flies…" the smile on the man's face faded and he raised his hand in the air.

Suddenly, a bright light shot out from the ring he had and a sword shot out and appeared in his hand.

"Oí! You better not kill them," said Left Blood Eye as he glanced at the man.

"Gyaha, I won't kill them… I'll just cut off their limbs," chuckled the man as he glared at Left Blood Eye with his single right eye. "Master can just fix them up easily with his abilities…"

"Che… just don't go overboard," cursed the Shura as it turned away.

The man just laughed and walked slowly to Lin Feng who was running at him.

Lifting the sword in his hand, the man prepared to hack at Lin Feng.

The sword hung high in the air and Lin Feng began to feel urgency. All the cells in his body were yelling at him, telling him to flee.

"Die!"
