The Urban Dao Child

Ryu Jinshi saw Yang Dao ready to leave and hesitated in saying something. The Dao Child asked, "What is it?"

The guy said, "Master, I can take you to a place where you can learn how to control fire and also learn about the skills in battle."

Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and asked, "What place would that be?"

Ryu Jinshi said, "Land below."

His words made Yang Dao have a strange expression while the rest were surprised. He asked, "Something I need to know?"

Laohu Bai replied, "The place he mentioned is a hidden city. This place is nothing short of a hell hole except being on this planet. It is a gathering place of the most heinous people in the world."

Ryu Jinshi said, "You can go there, use this token and call for a death rally. You will be fighting with those people to death."

Yang Dao asked, "What is the catch?"

He was smart enough to know that nothing was that easy as it seems to be in this place mentioned. Thus he asked for the rules and the catch. Ryu Jinshi gulped and said, "Master, that place has a natural formation that bans the use of all other elements but fire. So you will have to learn the fire element to survive inside. Those criminals all are somehow capable of using fire elements and they can only stay alive within the bounds of that city.

We do not know the reason behind this. It can only be discerned with the help of your Dao's eyes. So, please look into it."

Yang Dao nodded, he asked about the general location of the place and left for the destination flying high in the sky. Laohu Bai gazed at the figure vanishing in the dense clouds, she said, "You people may have gotten off the hook, but do not dare to think, that things will get back to the way they were. Master looks at the big picture but I am not that wise. One tiny mistake, and I will execute the command. Your lives are in yoru own hands."

Feng Yun looked at the two people and did not say a word, but she turned to face Laohu Bai and said, "XiaoBai, stay in touch."

The white-haired girl nodded and saw Feng Yun flying off in the direction of the Jewel nations. The two men did not comment at all but accepted everything these girls said. Feng Yun may have been silent but her eyes directed her intent right in their hearts. She had been killing too many people in the past month, she needed to calm down. Thus, she did not use any words but her actions.

Atsuji Kurogame sat down on the ground and began to heal his old body, same was going on with Ryu Jinshi, as he was also healing his wounds. Although Yang Dao had undone their seals, they dared not to heal themselves.

...

Yang Dao was flying in the sky and his gaze was focused in the direction of his destination. He was to go and look for this place on the south pole of the world. The polar regions were covered with ice. however, extreme cold gives birth to extreme heat. Beneath the kilometers thick snow layer, a volcano was buried. He was to get to this volcano.

Since he had yet to master the two elements, water, and fire, he could only fly over the dense snow. He could sense the earth below the snow caps and could tell that it was a vague connection. The boy had been flying for one night and day in a row, so he sat down on the snow and meditated to restore his peak.

The source energy inside the world flowed into his body, washing away all the exhaustion he accumulated in the travel time. The process was slow and simple. He stood up from the ground and felt the snow beneath his feet. A smile surfaced on his face.

He turned around to cast a gaze at the surroundings and scanned the horizon. Then he started to glide over the surface and headed to the center of the polar region. There was no sun in the sky to help him. This was the coldest place on the planet and never had been visited by normal humans. When they say 'The end of the world.' this place was that end of the world.

People would be lost if they were left in this place of endless white. However, when was the Dao child a normal person? He had activated his dao eyes as soon as he had woken up from the meditation.

The whole place was like a sea of dark and light. in the center of this sea, a blob of light was shining brilliantly. This blob of light was what Yang Dao was looking for. The light given off by humans and other things had different intensities. Thus it had become easier for him to move forward. Thanks to these eyes he could tell that this place was not just a bizarre existence in nature.

He could sense a strong presence existing there. After an hour he reached the place that looked like a hole. Yes, there was a hole in the middle of nowhere. Yang Dao could see the blob of light down the hole. He closed his dao eyes and found that below his feet, the hole was filled with bitter cold water.

He realized that this was the lake at the end of the world. He took a deep breath and with a firm gaze, dived in the hole. The first thing he sensed was cold, enough to freeze his bone marrow. This sensation was uncomfortable to him. Dao Child had never suffered such bitter cold. However, this water seemed to be something against him.

He grit his teeth and kept diving down to the depths of the cold water. He tolerated the cold and kept on going down. At one point he even wished to go back and beat Ryu Jinshi.
