The Dark Elves

Xiang and Hersh can be seen speaking to one another. Most of what they talked about after that epic fight between Jiao and Hersh was just some mundane things like "How are things?", "Is that person doing okay?", and "Is that place still there?". Truly boring stuff you know.

The Recruits on the other hand were talking about the fight. Things like "How is he so strong?", "What type of training did they go through?", and "Can we even reach such a level?".

The Dark Elf Rangers had the same line of thought but, are mostly talking about the human that fought their elder. Things like "That human is dangerous.", "I thought only Elder Hersh can reach such levels of bodily strength.", and "How did this young human do it?" were thrown around as they all made their trip to Coco Village.

On the way, Jiao woke from his power nap. He then got off Xiang with a flip. Clearly he does NOT understand the word "Injured". Or at least...his body doesn't. The Recruits and The Dark Elf Rangers became flabbergasted. Does this young man not know he is seriously hurt?!? Jiao then spoke in a energetic tone.

"Hey, Magnificent Mustache Having Old Man. Great fight that was. Bones in my ribs are cracked and most of those shots hit my liver. The softest organ. I seem to have those cracks in my limbs as well. If it wasn't for my immense willpower I would've buckled halfway into our fight." ~Jiao

Besides Xiang and Hersh, everyone is even more in awe. All those injuries and he seems to not care one bit? What the f@ck did General Xiang/Prominent Xiang feed this guy?! He shouldn't even be able to move let alone talk in such a manner!?! Hersh laughed heartily.

"Hohoho, Indeed!!! Most of those same injuries I inflicted onto you seems to also inflict me aswell. Minus a crack or two."~Hersh

The Recruits and The Dark Elf Rangers can't even display their emotions right now. These.....men aren't mortal. In their collective eyes, these "monsters" who fought such a hair raising battle, are definitely inhuman or inelven as it were. Jiao's stomach started to rumble, so he spoke up.

"Phew, that got me hungry. Oi, Old man when are we going to eat?" ~Jiao

"Later, when we get to the village."~Xiang

"It'll take to long. I'ma hunt my own game."~Jiao

"Hey, your injured aren't you? Shouldn't you be resting?"~ Random Recruit #01

"Nah! Signs of weakness can get you killed you know. So, I'll show my strength by hunting while in my injured state. Bet a few beastly bastards took advantage of people similarly bandaged up as me. I'm a show them how deadly I can be even when I'm like this."~Jiao

Jiao looked frenzied. Ready to tear apart something. Reminded them all of a savage beast. 'Scary!' they all thought. This man clearly hasn't looked at himself in a while. He resembled a beast more than the animals.

As they were talking Jiao took off while screaming.

"NO SIGNS OF WEAKNESS SHALL ENCOMPASS THIS MORTAL BOD OF MINE. ALL SHALL KNOW WHAT STRENGTH REALLY MEANS!!!"~Jiao

He barreled through a nice sum of the trees. Clearing what could now be called a new path. Truly a display fitting of his most recent statement. At this moment Xiang spoke up.

"Just meet us there!!!"~Xiang

A distant "Okay!" could be heard. All those present still wondered, just what is Jiao made of?

I, the author will tell you, the reader. What he is made of. Determination and meat. Thats right. There is no other focus in Jiao's life. No romantic interest. No partners in crime. Nothing has ever stood in his way and since there really isn't any intelligence required for fighting, nothing mentally either.

There are only few things that exist in his life. Saint Xiao's Orphanage, The Caretakers, His Comrades in and out of uniform, and Jiao's teacher, Xiang. He will do anything to keep these things in his life safe. Currently, he is the second strongest warrior in Little Town. His master being the first. There are little doubts in his mind that if his master ever got serious with him it would end in his defeat. No matter how fancy a technique may be, experience trumps it all.

Of course, he won't lose too badly. It may take an arm and a leg to really put Jiao down. He's young, he definitely beats Xiang when it comes to stamina, strength, and speed. Though it doesn't really matter in a Cultivation World. People live longer here, Cultivators even more so. Xiang may be getting old, doesn't mean he's out. Not by a long shot.
