Chapter 3 Big Brother Akemi

A boy dressed in golden robes forces the giant doors leading into the school with one hand. Wind fluttered around the door as it was forced open. This new student had a radiant gaze about him, and was quite sure of himself. Lei Laoshi overlooked the kid "what's your name son."

The youth looked at him "my name is Akemi." he spoke with great confidence like this was routine.

Lei Laoshi overlooks him "hmm how about you fight Qin Ming for your admittance."

Akemi sighs "if I must but I will say this, he is no match for me."

Qin Ming was gritting his teeth "this bastard does he write me off so quickly!"

Akemi smiles kindly at Qin Ming then with a single breath everything freezes. In that same instant Lei Laoshi cracks the frozen space "if you had told me you had a Dao realm I would have accepted you immediately. The match is over."

This must be understood that anyone skilled enough to make a Dao Realm was an unparalleled genius. The Dao Realm is the most important step in the path of enlightenment. This was why Lei Laoshi stopped the match, there was no reason to test him.

Qin Ming is suddenly brought back to reality "huh what was that."

Akemi looks back at him with a kind expression "it was a Dao Realm."

Qin Ming stood there wide-eyed "wow!!"

He had never before seen something like this before it was absolutely stunning to him. Qin Ming was an incredibly proud person and thus didn't like that his match was called. So he kept challenging him every single day. Each attempt was the same, he was beaten mercilessly. However Akemi started to hold him in slightly higher regard each time "interesting, quite interesting indeed.''

Qin Ming was panting heavily, holding his feet together "wow big brother Akemi sure is strong!"

Akemi held out his hand "come little brother let's rest, if you wish to continue tomorrow we can!"

Qin Ming grabbed his hand and lifted himself up, his eyes glowed with anticipation. "Big brother did you just…"

Usually whenever he would challenge Akemi he would act as if it was a drain on him. Now in fact it almost sounded as if he wanted to be challenged by him, as if he enjoyed their matches!

Akemi nodded his head, he was a fairly shy person even though he held himself with great confidence. This was why he preferred to remain silent when he could! Around Qin Ming however, he would want to converse with him. To Akemi, Qin Ming was his first friend.

As the two were walking and talking Ryu and Augus came walking down as well. Qin Ming bumps into Ryu "gah you stupid, idiot watch where you're going."

Ryu lifts his hand up to strike against Qin Ming. Akemi flashes a crazy look, he grabs his wrist. Akemi was applying so much force that his wrist was about to snap. In the next moment the colors of the world around them seem to shift. A thin glass wall forms between Ryu and Akemi.

Without Akemi even moving, that glass wall shatters, and in the next moment both Ryu and Augus are sent flying back with blood trailing behind them! "I hope they didn't bother you too much!" Akemi said with a wide smile and closed eyes.

Qin Ming was secretly surprised, after all nobody really stood up for him like that before. He shook his head several times "no not at all they were no trouble at all."

"Good!" He delightfully smiled then the two continued to walk forward.

Although Jiangsu helped where he could, it was nowhere near the degree Akemi displayed.

Soon they reach their quarters and Akemi opens the door and leads Qin Ming in. "Sit, sit little brother. Make yourself at home."

Qin Ming nods and sits down in front of a wooden table in lotus position. "What is it you wish to discuss with big brother?"

Akemi forces a smile "the Allclan Tournament is going to start anytime now, do you think you'll participate?"

"I don't think I will, I'm simply too weak."

His face turns a bit sour "I mean compared to you, or Augus, really anyone, I'm nothing!"

Akemi shakes his head "don't say that you have more talent than anyone in this entire damn place!"

Qin Ming smiles awkwardly "thanks for your kind words."

Akemi loses it "That's it, stand up now!"

He quickly hops to his feet. Akemi changes his stance. Qin Ming's expression changes, he's fought him several times. He never once saw him take a stance like this. It was as though he had no weaknesses, no openings. Every angle his hands moved it could land a killing blow. Qin Ming could tell he was serious!

Qin Ming stood up as well. He also took his own stance. "Let's see if I can awaken his beast blood!" Akemi quietly thought to himself

"If I can wake that up, Qin Ming will have no more doubts in his ability."

Akemi waved his hands in a circular motion, it appeared as several thousand of his hands were trailing in an afterimage. Then he struck out with his hands and the area of twenty meters became foggy. Anyone caught in this formation who had even slightly less insights into the Dao of Space than Akemi would be trapped. The fog began to rise and fill the small room.

This formation couldn't tell the difference between friend or foe, Akemi was able to move around because he had such a degree of understanding in the Dao of Space. Qin Ming however was stumbling around like a child he couldn't tell left from right, or up from down! He grit his teeth and began to shoot spiritual energy off in every direction.

He was hoping to knock this spatial formation out of place, if he could do that even slightly he would be able to move like normal. Akemi simply laughed. This laugh echoed throughout the entire fog and sounded like it was coming from every direction. Qin Ming started to swing his fist in hopes of hitting something.

Akemi shook his head and sent a fist into his gut. Qin Ming was completely caught off guard. His eyes turned white and blood spilled from his mouth. "GRRR BASTARD!!!"

Qin Ming held his stomach as he writhed in pain. He stood up and started to punch against the formation with his fist covered in his spiritual energy. Akemi grabbed his fist and sent him flying backwards. Akemi sent a leg into his gut. Then he slammed his fist into Qin Ming's jaw.

"Come on, how do you plan on getting stronger like that!"

Qin Ming could feel himself grinding his teeth at how helpless he was in this situation. He wanted so badly to fight harder and faster than ever before. His blood started to pump faster and faster, his eyes turned golden as he stared at Akemi. He could start to see clearly. Akemi grew even more excited than before. "Yes, yes just like that!"

In the next second his eyes flickered and he was instantly blown out of his partial transformation. Akemi sat down "Ah how disappointing he was so close too!"

Akemi sighs and the spatial formation drops. In truth Akemi had no talent in formations, in fact if they weren't spatial formations he couldn't use them at all! The fact he was able to make such a firm spatial formation was surprising indeed. Formations came in different types such as: defensive formations, war formations, bewilderment formations, long and short range formations, beast taming formations, and spatial formations!

Defensive formations allowed several people to join together and create barriers that wouldn't let any attack through! War formations were used for well… waging war! They allowed several people to join together and allow their power to explosively increase. Bewilderment formations confused your opponents like the one Akemi just used but his was a mixed formation. Long and short range formations are the same; they both fire projectiles at enemies. The only thing that was different were the ranges. Beast taming formations allowed one to well tame beasts! Spatial formations were Akemi's forte, of all the formations these are the most versatile. So long as an opponent was in the formation no matter how far you could still attack. They could hinder movements, they could allow one to teleport across the battlefield! The list goes on.

He crouched next to the unconscious Qin Ming "hmm maybe tomorrow I'll be able to unlock that beast lineage."

About half a day goes by before Qin Ming actually wakes up. Akemi jumps to his feet "ah you're up, let's go. We got a lot of work to do!" He flashes a quick smile at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming scratches his head "uh yeah, yeah of course."

Qin Ming was looking around the room, everything felt off and blurry! He stands to his feet but he stumbles soon after. He grabbed his eyes that still felt blurry but shortly after he felt ready to go!

"Big brother Akemi, where are we going today!"

Akemi puts his finger over his mouth and closes one eye "ah ah ah that's a secret."

Akemi began to walk away and Qin Ming soon followed behind. Qin Ming was grambling low under his breath, he was unable to remain still, but he remained absolutely quiet. In about two to three hours of walking they reach an overpass between two mountains. "You first little brother!"

Qin Ming nodded and began to walk over the bridge. Akemi followed after. It took a couple of hours to actually reach the top of the mountain. The sun began to set, however due to how big this mountain was it took a day to actually finish the setting sun. Akemi waved his hand and a table and two cups appeared. He waved his hand again and a platter of meat along with a pot of tea appeared.

"Here let's rest a bit, drink, eat, you must be hungry!"

Qin Ming nodded that he was indeed hungry, they had been on their feet all day. Akemi sighs as he slowly sips his tea, everything in this moment is completely still and peaceful. "Enjoy these days while you can, in the coming months the food will be scarce, and the days long!"

"The coming months?" Qin Ming nearly choked on his tea as he asked this.

Akemi nodded "if you thought before was hard, this training camp will be thousands of times harder."

Qin Ming had a look of anticipation, then continued to savor this meal and share many conversations with each other. Qin Ming felt the tip of his tongue burning "Akemi I must ask where did you come from before. Our school doesn't specialize in the Dao of Space, nor did we have any spatial formations. Where did you get them?"

Akemi knew of his extraordinary background, he knew his father was the reincarnation of Star god and his mother was Deng Xinyi, second only to Mother Nuwa! He also knew that Su Lei was actually the famous Celestial Envoy Sun Li! These were all very closely guarded secrets of the Three Realms. How in the world Akemi actually knew all this is a mystery not even the heavens themselves knew! This was the one and only reason he came to this school to meet Qin Ming and Jiangsu!

Su Lei had long ago stopped receiving students, so why was it these two made him restart the school! Akemi himself did not know this, he had to find out.

Once Akemi actually came to this school he started to hold Qin Ming in much more regard. Not because he was strong, or his latent talent. No! It was because he was bold and hard headed, whenever he beat him into the ground he would get back up. Then he would challenge him again!

Akemi slowly lowered his cup "ah, about that." He looks to the side a bit flustered.

"Well you see I am a nomad. I traveled from place to place, when I heard old man Su Lei was reopening his school I just had to come, rumor has it he taught the Crystal Emperor!"

This was simply a half truth, Akemi hated lying even if it gave up his identity he wouldn't lie! This was why he didn't tell the full truth. Akemi was very calm and sure of himself, he knew if he watched his words he would never be caught. This was why most of the time he acted cocky!

Qin Ming's eyes glew "wow, so you've traveled to many places. What's the outside world like, are the people strong like you!"

Akemi forced a smile. There was a good reason he had to go into hiding, "even stronger!"

Qin Ming couldn't stay still, he was jumping out of his seat "I'm going to see the outside world with you! When I do, I'm going to prove to everyone that I am someone to watch!"

Qin Ming was an ambitious fellow, his hopes had risen to the heavens and beyond. The heart was something anyone could have, be it one of his kin or the Emperor himself! Everyone had dreams of being great!

Qin Ming had not yet seen the outside world, he had lived a very sheltered life. Su Lei was not yet ready to let the boy go just yet! He had never experienced death or sickness. He didn't understand poor or rich people. He had not seen the red dust of the mortal world, 'Even though the red dust is countless layers deep, not a speck shall touch my thatched hut.' Su Lei was scared the outside world would corrupt him!

Akemi laughed and put his hands up "that is quite a distant future. First you must survive here!" He flashed him a cold look.

With a simple gaze everything was blown away and Qin Ming threw his hands on the ground. He slid across the ground, the rocks slicing his hands open! Blood covered the ground and painted the grass red!

Akemi gently licked his lips. The very sight of blood made him lose all self control, he would go berserk! However even in this beserk state he refused to kill Qin Ming, or sustain any real damage. If it was anyone else who forgot it they would be long since dead!

Akemi charged at him and didn't even use his fist to fight, instead he used the space around him to smash against Qin Ming! He coughed up more blood, Qin Ming bit his lip and swung his fist at Akemi. Before Qin Ming could react he teleported behind him and sent a powerful leg to his back.

Qin Ming was sent back, he tumbled against the ground like a skipping stone. He was grinding his teeth as his eyes turned bloodshot. Akemi didn't react in the slightest, the angrier he got the better. If he was able to release that hidden blood at will, he would be an unstoppable monster!

Qin Ming turned into a blip as he appeared centimeters away from Akemi. With a cold glance he sent Qin Ming flying away! Akemi turned into a stream of light. He soon reached Qin Ming before he even hit the ground. He put his leg under his back and kicked him up with immense force that even the wind around them cracked! Akemi once again met him in the air. He sent a fist at him, his face turned dark and menacing. His fist looked as though space was being distorted around it! Once the fist landed into his chest he was sent back to earth like a meteor.

The ground smashed under Qin Ming's body! Qin Ming found moving incredibly taxing, he slightly groaned as he stood up. A streak of blood was falling from his forehead. Some of his blood dripped into his eye and he hissed at the stinging sensation. Qin Ming put his hand on his knee and put the other one in the air. An ephemeral hand shoots out from the palm of his hand. This ephemeral hand was made from Qin Ming's spiritual energy and was azure in color. The giant hand grabs Akemi. Akemi is struggling desperately trying to blast apart the ephemeral hand. "I wON'T GIVE YOU THE CHANCE!!!"

Qin Ming cracks down his hand, and the giant azure hand smashes down like a rocket. The air around it cracks before Akemi smashes against the ground. The giant palm holds Akemi down in the splintered earth! "Heh, did you invent this technique all by yourself little brother?"

In the next moment Akemi releases his Dao Realm which slams against the Azure Hand. The Azure Hand immediately smashes apart. The bits of spiritual energy fly off in every direction, when the spiritual energy falls it makes small holes in the earth.

Qin Ming opened his mouth and stared wide eyed. He had put an immense amount of spiritual energy, for it to be destroyed so quickly was very disheartening. He was at least able to get out of an attack with it! "You're improving at a steady pace little brother, but it's still not enough!"

Akemi sent down his hand and space came crashing down with it. A giant invisible wall clashes against his body. Qin Ming pushes against the wall frantically but is forced down all the same! Akemi lifts his hand up and the wall releases Qin Ming. Before Qin Ming could stand, space began to smash against Qin Ming in the shape of fists!

Qin Ming coughed up blood when each of the space-like fists hit him. Qin Ming was growling under his breath; he tried so hard to actually move, but space would bar his path. This is why the Dao of Space is so terrifying, if one reached a high enough level their opponent couldn't do anything!

Qin Ming's skin began to glow red, his eyes turned stary and gold like. His teeth began to grow into fangs. Akemi had a smile on his face, he was practically jumping but he kept his hand absolutely still! "He's doing it, this time I will see his partial transformation."

In the next moment Qin Ming was starting to stand up! Akemi tilted his head "I knew that partial transformation was scary, but this is merely a Blood transformation! How strong can he get?"

Qin Ming was blown out of it the second he took a step. This time he lasted much longer. Last time Akemi tried to push him he lasted three seconds, now he's at twelve!

Transformation came in several steps. When one gets their blood to awaken this is known as a Blood transformation. It is not only limited to blood though, the eyes could change color, and teeth could grow as well. The next step was Beast Transformation, one could grow beast claws, a tail, their head could change as well! But of course only one is changed. Next would be Partial Beast Transformation. One's palms would become beast-like and their legs would change as well! The next would be Half-step Transformation, where one's body would be very beast-like, in Qin Ming's case his entire body would be covered in scales and his hands would grow talons and fur. His feet would also become scaly and claws would grow too! The horn on his forehead would grow in length and radiate sharpness and blood lust. He would also grow a dragon-like tail. Most mixed beasts would choose Half-step transformation as they could still wield weapons but have the power of a beast! The next step is full transformation where they become a beast, the power from this transformation is shocking indeed.

At the moment Qin Ming could barely reach the Blood transformation level. However, even the power from his Blood transformation was enough to push back Akemi's space techniques! The power he released from his Blood Transformation was higher than most full transformations! This however was only possible because he had Star god's blood on top of Celestial Dragon blood, and the Celestial Dragon it came from was no one to sneeze at!

Akemi sucked in his teeth and impatiently tapped his feet, "shame, what a shame! If only he would have lasted longer, he might have been able to use it at will. Well I'll have to try again tomorrow."

He scratched his chin trying to devise a plan, he slammed his fist into his other hand "that's it!"

About a day passes before Qin Ming wakes up again. When he finally woke up, he saw an old man who had a pair of curled horns. He also had a long white, flowing beard. He had a kind expression, his eyes were always closed. His lips carried a sense of compassion. In one ear he had a jimson weed flower, and in the other a lemon blossom! He was dressed in yellow and orange robes. When he saw Qin Ming he turned his gaze over to him and opened his eyes, this gaze carried a wave of pressure. His pupils were rectangular like that of a goat. In fact the old man carried the impression of a goat!

The old man carried a long wooden staff in his right hand, he used this staff to guide him over "ah Akemi is this the kid ya told me about!"

Akemi lightly nodded "yes he is old man Dai Mu." he spoke softly as he slowly sipped his tea.

"good, good he is quite interesting." he slowly stroked his beard.

"Big brother, who is this old man Dai Mu?"

Akemi waved his hand "ah no one special he heard us training up here and decided to have a look!"

Qin Ming nodded his head and he seemed to understand. Dai Mu was merely a simple farmer, he had never seen a battle like this before so he naturally went to see the cause behind it. "Here, here let me show you my quarters" Dai Mu was eagerly pulling at the sleeves of Qin Ming and Akemi.

They both turned to look at the other "it'd be rude not to go!" Akemi hurriedly passes a mental message to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded that it would be quite rude to not accept. They both let old man Dai Mu lead them to his cottage. The house was covered in Amaranth flowers. It was small and dainty and didn't appear to be ordinary. He opened the door and allowed Qin Ming, and Akemi to walk in.

There was already a plate of food prepared as if the old farmer had planned this. "I don't get to many guests this time of year but it's a nice change of pace."

Qin Ming could feel his stomach sink and his feet grow paralyzed. This old man had known they were coming before they even arrived "don't be alarmed Dai Mu can hear the whisperings of fate tell of our arrival!"

Akemi had picked up on his reluctance and thus told him about Dai Mu. Qin Ming felt his heart relax some as he heard this. Akemi walks forward and gestures to his hand, "Dai Mu tells us about yourself."

Dai Mu lightly sighs "what's there to tell about an old farmer like me?"

"Old farmer? You are trying to tell me you aren't immortal?"

Qin Ming jumped up and the chair he was sitting on flung back "IMMORTAL!?"

This was his first time ever seeing one in the flesh before he's heard stories of immortals before like the Three Sovereigns of Humanity and Lu Dongbin, but that's all they were! To actually see one was more impressive than having heard of their exploits. Dai Mu gives a wide smile "ah what gave it away?"

Akemi pointed at all the flowers and plants "these are immortal plants that I've heard the great Shennong himself made. I wondered if he was just a regular farmer, how would he have these in his garden?"

He slapped his head "I should have known the Amaranth's were a dead give away!" he chuckles softly.

"Maybe next time."

Dai Mu opens his eyes once more this time he releases his aura. Qin Ming is sent to his knees. The power he gave off was way too much for him to handle. However Akemi remained as sturdy as ever.

"You see I have lived for a very, very long time. I was Shennog's disciple ya know! After the war me and the old man never really connected again. I decided to come to the Oldjade major world to retire. Now I am just an old farmer who just spends his days tending to his garden!"

Dai Mu takes out a wooden pipe and puts it between his worn lips. "The school Lei Laoshi made was simply extraordinary, but that's to be expected." Dai Mu sighs lightly.

"Drink your fill then you may continue your training. I just love seeing the future of the Three Realms."

About an hour passes by and the stars are brightly shining overhead. Dai Mu was leaning on his door enjoying the view. Qin Ming came behind him, "You know about Lei Laoshi."

Dai Mu quickly turned around "oh yeah me and he went way back. I remember seeing him train our armies."

Qin Ming seems a bit down "everyone always says good things about him but…"

"Ay kid father's are always like that!"

Qin Ming sighs and Akemi comes from behind "thank you for having us Dai Mu!"

Akemi bows respectfully and pushes Qin Ming's head down as well. Dai Mu laughs slightly "no, no you don't have to be so formal with me."

"Right well in any case we should get back to our training."

"I wouldn't wanna keep ya."

The two walk off. Like that a month has passed. Akemi still found pulling Qin Ming's Blood transformation out of him to be taxing. But that didn't matter to him. So long as he was able to see it then it was enough.

Qin Ming was sprawled on the floor with visible cuts and bruises. He was panting for air like a fish out of water. Akemi slowly lowers himself to the ground "you're getting better but not good enough!"

Qin Ming forces himself up "whatever!"

He charges over to Akemi and as Qin Ming moves the ground under him shatters. Qin Ming pulls back his fist, however Akemi catches it.

BOOOM!!

A blastwave of pressure smashes a crater into the ground. Akemi shakes his head "pathetic!"

Akemi places his finger on his chest and restrictive chains hug his body. However these 'chains' were made of space and thus couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Qin Ming was grinding his teeth, he was sending waves of his spiritual energy against these chains. Each concussive wave made a loud boom, however the chains didn't budge in the slightest.

Akemi turns around and begins to walk away. All of a sudden Qin Ming's aura spikes. "Oh, has he made a breakthrough?"

Qin Ming's teeth starts to grow into fangs his eyes turn gold, "GRRR WHEN I bRAKE FREE I'M GONNA RIP YOU TO SHREDS"

Akemi cockily grins "I'd like to see you try!"

BOOOM!!

Akemi's face changes slightly "did he really just…"

Qin Ming had a pillar of spiritual energy pouring into the sky, this aura was deep blood red. The aura was so thick that Qin Ming's face couldn't be seen. Once he notices Akemi, Qin Ming instantly turns into a blip as he appears right in front of Akemi. Akemi started to feel his stomach churn "not good!"

Akemi put his hand up and sent a large wall at Qin Ming. Qin Ming was in a beserk state and couldn't control himself, this petty wall was merely nothing to him! Qin Ming swiped his hand and the wall shattered. "GRR NOT GOOD AT ALL!!"

Akemi jumps into the air and throws down several formation flags. With casual hand signs four giant walls enclose Qin Ming in the formation. Qin Ming was like a wild beast only out for blood!

"Qin Ming actually made me throw down the [Great Kings Space Lock Formation]! Just how strong is his Blood transformation!?!"

As of this moment the [Great Kings Space Lock Formation] was the strongest formation available to him! Anyone caught in this formation couldn't escape no matter what they did. The only way was to forcibly break the formation from the outside. Even if one wanted to disrupt the formation bases they would find it futile.

Every time one was about to be struck upon they would instantly teleport to a different location! Even grandmasters of formations would find themselves going mad trying to break free! This was a technique Akemi made all on his own, and he was only able to make such a formidable spatial formation due to his understanding of the Dao of Space. After all it was the fact the formation bases moved that made it such a tough bone to chew on.

After a full day Qin Ming finally passed out. "Phew! He's finally done I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep the formation up longer"

Akemi wiped the sweat off of his brow. "He's strong, too strong! His talent is through the roof!"

They never stopped training since then, but Akemi stopped trying to draw out that latent power. Dai Mu would come on regular visits to sometimes join the training and other times share food and gifts, in the past two months all three of them became very close.

Akemi slowly sipped his tea "so you really fought in the war!?"

Dai Mu crackled a little bit "I did but those are just old war stories at this point! Don't worry your little heads too much about that! Sit, eat, enjoy life, we've nothing to fear!"

Akemi slowly breathes "hm yes it does seem as though I can perhaps relax a bit."

Dai Mu starts to laugh "that the spirit! Drink your fill!"

Qin Ming was already asleep; he spent two months training! "The boy looks so peaceful while he's asleep."

Akemi smiles "yes he is"

Once Dai Mu started to speak of Qin Ming, Akemi became colder towards him. Akemi was very protective of his little brother, and thus wouldn't allow anyone to harm him! Dai Mu picks up on this and forces a laugh "maybe I should get going?"

Akemi simply flashes a cold glance. With that Dai Mu stands up and retires for the night.

Smoke fills the nostrils of the sleeping Qin Ming. He jumped to his feet and saw old man Dai Mu's cottage on fire! Above the cottage was a dark figure. He opened his eyes and a cold chill ran down Qin Ming's spine. Qin Ming could feel his teeth grind against each other. He jumped up to the dark figure. The dark figure just opens his eyes and sends Qin Ming flying back.

"Akemi?"

The dark figure leapt through the sky and fled at high speeds. He then instantly remembered "DA IMU!!"

Qin Ming charged into the burning cottage he saw his near lifeless body trying to stand. "That bastard when I get a hold of him I'm going to kill him!"

Qin Ming instantly grabbed Dai Mu "old man who did this to you!"

"It was that bastard Akemi!"

Right after he said that he fell down to his knees and then fell back into Qin Ming's "NO NO OLD MAN DON'T DIE ON ME!!! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE!!!"

Qin Ming held onto him for several hours, he didn't even care that he was in a burning building! As the flames were about to devour him they suddenly moved out of the way and around him. "Hey kid, stand up, let's get out of here!"

Augus was frantically trying to pull him out of the burning cottage, but he stayed there soullessly holding onto Dai Mu. Lei Laoshi appeared right next to Augus and picked Qin Ming up with one hand and in the other Dai Mu. "Good job finding him Augus!"

They soared off into the distance soon appearing at the school. Qin Ming was tightly holding onto Dai Mu. Lei Laoshi held him just as tightly, "it's ok, I'm here, don't worry little one!"

Qin Ming didn't budge a single step. He was frightened and could only hold onto his father. Lei Laoshi just ran his fingers through Qin Ming's hair as he was silently shushing him. With a single finger a mound of dirt rises up from the ground. "Here son bury your friend lets send him off properly."

Qin Ming let go of him and nodded slowly. Augus lifts up Dai Mu and gently lays him down on the ground. Lei Laoshi lowered the dirt onto his body, letting it tightly hug him. "Follow me you two."

They nod. Lei Laoshi puts his hands together in a prayer "Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

A flower appears in Qin Ming's hand and he places it onto the grave. A crow and two doves pass overhead, and silence fills the area.

Since that day a year had passed Augus came from behind Qin Ming "I have news about him."

Qin Ming looks back and coldly glances at him "and?"

"He's in the Diamond continent, apparently he's joined them!"

"Hmm. Leave me!"

Augus nodded and quickly left, obviously this had left a deep scar on his heart. Qin Ming punched a wall and made the entire thing crumble "that bastard I will make him pay for everything and then some!"

After Qin Ming constantly trained he was going to surpass him in time for the Allclan tournament where he would crush and destroy him! Soon four months passed in the blink of an eye!
