Illicit Relationship



"Leader, can you show us what candidates for Ruler are capable of?"

"That's right, leader. It's to motivate us to get stronger and become candidates to be the Ruler."

"Yes, that's right."

"Leader, show us."

One by one, his underlings asked him to show them what candidates to be the Ruler could do because they had never seen them fighting before.

"Sure." Xiao Tian agreed instantly because it could motivate them to get stronger and become candidates to be the Ruler like him.

His underlings paid attention to him carefully because they were curious about what people loved by heavens could do.

"There are seven stages to become the Ruler." He spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "The first stage is to feel the energy of heaven and earth."

He told them that the energy of heaven and earth was soft like flowing water. 

"The second stage is to absorb the energy into your martial arts points." He explained the use of martial arts points.

His underlings widened their eyes in shock when he told them what martial arts points were.

After explaining the third stage, he uttered, "You are basically a superhuman after mastering the third stage because the strength of ordinary martial artists are nothing for you."

"What?! Superhuman?"

"Does that mean all candidates to be the Ruler have superhuman power?"

"Leader, can you show it to us?"

"Yes, leader. Please show it to us."

"Leader, I want to see it."

They wanted to see the strength of candidates to be the Ruler.

Xiao Tian skimmed his surroundings.

'I will use that stone.'

When he saw a big stone, he walked toward it.

"Does leader want to destroy that stone?" they were startled when they saw him walking toward a big stone.

Not only was the rock huge, it was even as tall as an adult. That was why they were stunned when he chose a huge stone.

After standing in front of the stone, he uttered, "Chun Hua, pay attention to this carefully. This is what you can do after mastering the third stage." 

Chun Hua did what she was told and carefully paid attention to Xiao Tian.

Without taking any preparation to strike the rock, Xiao Tian hit the big stone with a calm face.

Boom!

The stone shattered into pieces.

*Silence…

The entire area turned into a dead silence.

Like Yu Shi's previous expression, his underlings opened their mouths in surprise.

They were stunned because Xiao Tian could destroy a big stone without taking any preparation to strike it.

He even did not use his full power because he hit the stone with a calm face.

"Amazing!" Ren Nuan broke the silence.

"Amazing!"

"Leader, you are amazing!"

"As expected of our leader, he is amazing!"

One by one, his underlings praised him.

Xiao Tian acted calmly when they praised him continuously. "This is what you can do after mastering the fourth stage."

*Plop…Plop…Plop…

Circular ripples formed when he walked on the water.

"Not only can you walk on the water, but you can also stand on top of a tree after mastering the fourth stage." He said as he walked closer to them.

His subordinates immediately looked down at his feet.

At this moment, they finally realized that they knew nothing about the real martial arts world.

"I'm currently trying to master the fifth stage." Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "If I can master the fifth stage this year, I will look like my current appearance forever. In other words, I will look young forever."

"What?! Look young forever?" 

"Really?"

"Leader, is that true?"

"Look young forever?"

"I…I will become a candidate to be the Ruler and master the fifth stage immediately."

"Me too."

"I will also try my best to become a candidate to be the Ruler."

"I want to look young forever."

"I want to look pretty forever."

His underlings were female, so this kind of reaction was normal because women cared about their appearances more than anything.

No!

Men also cared about their appearances, but they did not treat it as important as women.

That was why most men rarely went to skincare shops or places.

Xiao Tian, who saw his underlings, smiled.

'I'm indeed a genius.'

He said that on purpose because he knew they would get more motivated after finding out that they could look young forever.

"Chun Hua, I will teach you everything tomorrow." Xiao Tian would help her get stronger because she was his underling.

"Understood, leader." Chun Hua responded.

Shortly after that, Xiao Tian went home.

----

The following morning, Xiao Tian went to the backyard after waking up. 

His intention was clear.

He wanted to practice martial arts again!

However, he did not try to master the fifth stage this time.

He had almost mastered the Dragon Instinct technique, so he decided to practice it.

'Become one with nature and feel my surroundings.'

He was currently sitting in a lotus position. 

His black hair danced softly as he tried to master the Dragon Instinct technique because the wind brushed against his body. 

'Calm my mind and feel my surroundings.'

After trying for several minutes, he finally could feel his surrounding clearly.

He could feel the grass swaying in the wind.

He could feel the dust flying in the wind.

And he could feel the swimming pool water moving in the wind.

Even though the range of his senses was not far, he was pleased because he could improve it later.

'Succeed! I succeed in mastering the Dragon Instinct technique.'

He opened his eyes and smiled happily.

'I'm indeed a genius. I'm indeed a genius in everything.'

He praised himself non-stop. 

'I will stop here for today.'

With that idea in mind, he rose to his feet and headed to the bathroom to shower.

----

Blue Ice Lotus Gang Headquarters, Front Yard.

Xiao Tian was currently teaching Chun Hua and Crystal how to master the second stage because they already could feel the energy of heaven and earth.

Even though their progress was not as fast as his, they could absorb his teachings well.

"After you can feel all the martial arts points in your body, absorb the energy of heaven and earth and direct it to your martial arts points." He said as he walked around them.

Chun Hua and Crystal could feel all martial arts points in their bodies, but they had difficulty absorbing heaven and earth energy into their martial arts points.

The heaven and earth energy always left their bodies and returned to nature before they managed to absorb it into their martial arts points.

No matter how many times they tried it, the results were the same.

They failed!

Of course, Xiao Tian was not disappointed with them because everyone had different talents.

He believed Chun Hua and Crystal could master the second stage quickly because their talents were good.

"Alright. Let's stop here for today." Xiao Tian uttered.

Chun Hua and Crystal rose to their feet with sad faces.

When he saw their faces, he spoke, "It's fine. I'm sure you can master it in a few days."

Chun Hua and Crystal exchanged a glance with each other before finally nodding their heads.

'Yes. We can do it.'
