Meeting Meng Zhang once again

"I only taught them some minor things and personally train them most of the times unless they choose to train on their own, did this display shock you?" Masaru continued to explain despite his face being stoic, he was feeling embarrassed to shock them so much,

"So you follow the route of incorporating Human knowledge in your techniques?" Pangu asked feeling intrigued by Masaru's choice of growth

Masaru nodded, "Yes, it is quite helpful to create bigger attack power for a lower cost."

Pangu chuckled as he did not feel any threat but was only surprised to see someone would be crazy enough to do such a bomb-throwing tactic.

Soon the clouds settled with Chunhua's clothes being slightly burnt as she used her Qi to protect her, however, the sight of her legs trembling gave away the fact she was scared out of her wits for receiving such a heavy blowy expecting a light one, she never imagined that insignificant orb would contain such devastating power.

'This woman tricked me!' Chunhua grits her teet while she searched for Kuroka who had yet to reveal herself, "Come out kitty"

Hearing the tease Kuroka smiled as her eyes formed slits while she lowered herself to the ground moving silently, her presence blending with the surroundings as she moved towards Chunhua from behind.

Before Kuroka could strike Chunhua twist her body around as she grasps Kuroka's wrist and hurled Kuroka over her shoulder, however, Kuroka smirked as she used composite magic by combining fire with water element she blasts hot steam into CHunhua's eyes causing the later to scream while holding her eyes.

"Enough! The winner is Kuroka!" Xiangu realized that her disciple was being toyed around with ever since she misjudged the sphere's destructive capabilities and now the steam was strong enough to blind her unless they heal her immediately so she appeared before her disciple treating her eyes.

"You were quite ruthless" Xiangu spoke towards Kuroka with a stern voice,

Kuroka knew she went overboard but she wanted to teach this brat a lesson but she still apologized towards Xiangu instead of Chunhua, when Kuroka left the alternate space she leapt into Masaru's embrace demanding a reward so Masaru gently caress her head as she took her seat on his right sitting next to Pangu who was looking at this girl with interest,

'She is quite ruthless towards those who do her wrong, a real vengeful woman who hates those who stand in her path' Pangu shook his head deciding it will best not to get involved in women matters.

Throughout the night Masaru and the girls were treated slightly better after Kuroka showed off a bit of her strength so no one dared to look down on them,

Chunhua however, felt furious towards Kuroka who was so petty to even not let off her eyes just because of their argument. 'I will get you for this' She turned to sit next to her teacher.

Just as Masaru was about to stand up a familiar azure coloured hair male appeared wearing a light blue changsan standing right in front of Masaru with the familiar look of disdain. "To think you would actually dare to appear in China, have I not beaten you enough?"

Masaru chuckled, "Speaks the one who worked together with a woman to face me, don't you feel ashamed for taking so much pride while you never did everything yourself?"

Hearing Masaru taunts Meng Zhang (Qinglong) felt angered but he kept a smiling face till the next words were uttered, "Besides you hit like a baby, no wonder I was healed in a single day leaving no trace of the battle behind. Yet I can see you're covering your abdomen quite firmly, could it be me strikes I gave you have not yet healed?" Masaru said mocklingly,

"Hmph! Unlike you, I did not need to go to the hospital" Meng Zhang said not feeling shame since he already proved he was better than Masaru,

Masaru chuckled while keeping his silence since he saw a beautiful woman wearing a flame patter Qipao was approaching them, "So you're the current Host of Byakko huh?" The lady said,

Masaru looked at this woman from her head to toe finding her figure quite familiar as if he saw her before, Ling Guang felt repulsed thinking Masaru was looking at her with Lecherous eyes as she snorted "You already have so many women at your side why are you checking me out?"

"You're selling yourself to high Miss, you remind me of a certain Fire Chicken I once dealt with in the past, he too thought too highly of himself because of his phoenix bloodline and to think there is a female counterpart of him" Masaru spoke no longer interested in figuring out where he saw this woman before, he simply found her to be a pain in the arse instead.

Pangu who heard Masaru calling Ling Guang the Phoenix God of the South a fire chicken he almost slammed his face on the table, 'Where the hell did this man get such guts to speak in such a way with her? Does he not know how famous her beauty is!?'

Masaru naturally knew beautiful women were always famous and most yearned for by average men, but he did not put it in his eyes since he knew these two came with an ulterior motive so he will not spare them any face at all.

Meng Zhang snorted as he took a step forward, "You want me to teach you a lesson again?"

Masaru smirked with an excited look in his eyes, seeing this expression Meng Zhang felt conflicted as he will soon be dragged into a trap if he were to continue, Luckily he was saved by Ling Guang who pulled him "No need to pay any attention to this heap of trash"

Masaru chuckled, "Speaks the one who is the face appears on the logo of Nando's"

When everyone heard Masaru words they were reminded of a Black chicken with a red feather tail, red heart and a red crown, and the best part was the fact the restaurant was famous for their delicious spicy chicken that burns.

Some could not contain it began to chuckle softly while leaving for the restroom since they did not want to get implicated for laughing at Masaru's harsh words, Ling Guang looked into Masaru's eyes seeing that this boy was going to be difficult to be dealt with, she snorted before taking Meng Zhang to leave the Summer Palace.

"Boy, you better watch your mouth. That was Ling Guang the God of the South and a phoenix" Pangu warned Masaru who chuckled,

"I know exactly who those two are, they are the same two who attacked me" Masaru explained not caring that his actions might have implicated him with more trouble, even though they would have come after him one way or another anyway.

Pangu who heard this had a stern expression, those two had indeed thrown the face of their country by teaming up to face a lower realm fighter. He sighed, "But still be careful, Ling Guang is most sought after between these gods who want to earn her affection. She might use them to attack you as the prerequisite to have a date, so you might get targetted while your living here"

Masaru nodded as he had more or less expected it when he saw the looks of the male cultivators in the surroundings looking at him, after a while Masaru, Kuroka and Roygun said their goodbyes heading back to the hotel.

But the moment they came out of the Summer Palace they have been surrounded three handsome young men, they have a similar facial appearance like Meng Zhang, however, starting from left to right the men hair colour were different, White, Black and Red.

"To think the three brothers of Meng Zhang would come to personally greet me" Masaru spoke while taking a step forward to guard the girls behind him.

"It's your honour to even mee this Bailong in the flesh" The White hair handsome man took a step forward facing Masaru with a challenging smirk.

Masaru could more or less guess these three guys were peak Low God Class power level which he can handle but there is three of them which makes it more difficult for him, "So what do you want with me? To teach me a lesson like Meng Zhang wants? Never thought the subordinates of the Dragon God Long Wang would lower themselves to another subordinate"

Bailong only smiled and did not respond to this taunt, the black-haired man whose name was Xuanlong instead glared at Masaru "We came here by orders of Dragon God Long Wang!"

Masaru caresses his chin while looking sceptical at their motive.

"I can't go tonight since I am tired, I will go meet him the morning after tomorrow Since I have plans to visit Pangu," Masaru said,

Hearing this Xuanlong snorted since they were already informed that the day after tomorrow morning was the latest Masaru could extend, and by coincidence, Masaru picked it so they did not argue with him. Otherwise, when Wang long learns of it, they will face a true Dragon Torture.

"My name is Zhulong, I hope you would put some time aside to have a spar when you visit Father Wang tomorrow. I like to experience the power of Byakko's host" Masaru turned to look at the red-haired man with interest, this man only wanted to fight Masaru,

"Very well, perhaps we can even entertain your father as well," Masaru said with a smile,

When Zhulong heard this he began to laugh while nodding his head with a smile, "yes yes, very good!"

Bailong handed over a small piece of jade, "Use this to enter the mountains in the west, you will come across the settlement of Khunlun, Father Wang is currently staying there for a while"

Masaru looked at the small jade having a very fine carving with a tiger on it, he then looked towards Bailong "Very well, I will bring the two girls and a subordinate with, will that be fine?"

Bailong nodded before he disappeared along with Zhulong and Xuanlong, the three of them knew Meng Zhang was not far from them watching the situation hoping for a battle that never happened.

"What's the matter little lizard? Feeling threatened that your brothers are no longer following your orders like slaves?" Masaru spoke mockingly in the direction he detected Meng Zhang,

Zhang gnashed his teeth while he glared at Masaru just as he was about to fly towards him Pangu appeared to block his path, "This is still the vicinity of the Summer Palace, are you going to disregard the rules Seiryuu?"

Meng Zhang glared at Pangu for a moment before turning to leave with a snort, "You're lucky this old man saved you, next time I will have your head!"

Masaru smirked before turning to bow towards Pangu to show his respect and appreciation for his timely assistance, Pangu saw this boy's bow and nodded 'He knows how to thank people properly' Pangu thought before advising Masaru "Don't provoke him anymore, go rest for tomorrow"

Masaru who heard this nodded before leaving for the hotel, soon Xiangu appeared next to Pangu "Is he worth allying with?"

Pangu nodded, "He understands sentiments how to return kindness with kindness, he is certainly ruthless to his enemies"

Xiangu felt a bit complicated but Pangu Continued, "It was your disciples own fault for getting involved in your matter like that, I suggest you discipline her properly" Xiangu could only nod before leaving.

Pangu turned his gaze in the Direction Masaru head off to, "Hope nothing serious happens"

He turns and leaves the place himself.

>\/<

"I suppose we learnt plenty of things" Roygun spoke while resting on Masaru's chest naked, Kuroka was currently sleeping on his other side on the bed.

"Yes, for now, we at least know the current situation was created because of people from the outside, I am inclined to believe we may come across Qlippoth" Masaru said

Roygun looked tenderly into the eyes of Masaru, she could not help but stare finding herself lost in his gaze before feeling her body heat up a bit, Masaru could feel her movements were getting aroused yet he kept looking into her eyes as he wanted to see how this milf is going to eat him.

"Why are you so sure that it is Qlippoth?" Roygun asked,

Masaru smiled as he leaned closer to her, "Because they already doing the very same thing at the Vampire side although I have to say it, since this has been happening for a long time in this country I can only admit that this person has patience"

Masaru gently nibbed her ear sending a wave of electric current throughout her body as she moved on top of Masaru looking at him affectionately, even Kuroka was not a bit disturbed by the movements but Masaru could see Roygun was biting her lower lip while feeling the presence of the mighty one who made her addicted to Masaru.

After a loud night of plentiful love, Masaru and the girls after they already got washed and dressed. It was time to visit the sacred lands of the Panda, where Pangu was living together with his people. Following the teleportation formation instructions, Pangu left Masaru before he left the party.

It did not take them long to appear in a Bamboo forest in the mountains, mist were lurking in the surroundings making way from Masaru and the two girls who continued to head up towards the peak.

"You have finally arrived" Pangu called out as he waved his paw, he was surrounded by many smaller pandas wearing robes of cultivators.

"Thank you for your invitation" Masaru cupped his fist and bowed respectfully,

"And I see you two ladies have also come, that's good. Everyone, this is Masaru Belial and his two peerage members Kuroka and Roygun. Treat them with the same respect as you have towards each other" Pangu said before gesturing Masaru and the two girls to stand within the crowd of Pagu's disciples.

"Today, I will explain how to stimulate your martial soul. If you awaken it, you have a chance of undergoing a rebirth that will enhance your life level allowing you to enter one step closer from becoming an immortal" Pangu spoke as he started to guide each and everyone one of them.

While moving his body following the set of physical exercises, Masaru felt a peculiar sensation whenever his back faced in the direction of the west. "This..."

Wondering what it could be, he continued his practice with his back facing the west. He was not certain why but he felt his reflexive sensitivity and speed increased with how he kept increasing each practice routine faster than the previous. "Byakko of the west..."

[You finally realized the condition to activate your Domain power huh?]

"Drago?" Masaru asked,

[That's right, I could not give you the answer otherwise Byakko won't recognize you. Although you have finally stepped into the ranks of becoming a True Ultimate Rank warrior, I have to add that you are different from them]

"How different?" Masaru asked,

[If we go according to the number of direction gods and how this sacred gear was evolving, I would say you have five domains to unlock, well make it four since you have awakened Byakko's domain. This naturally does not include your bloodline domain power, you have six domains so it's natural that you would be different]

"I see," Masaru said as he continued his training, from what he understood his domain was peculiar that required him to have his back to face the west. This will increase both his speed, senses and reflex by several folds.

"I did not expect you would be able to discover the domain of Byakko so quickly, for now, I would suggest you keep becoming familiar with the domain before you start purifying your energy to elevate to a higher realm" Pangu advised

"Thank you" Masaru cupped his fist before continuing his training. It was only after a few hours, did Masaru and the girls leave the training grounds together with Pangu to his small hut where he lives.

Despite having a small appearance outside, it had a massive interior decorated with ancient Chinese noble decoration filled with jades and gold. The four of them sat at a table where Pangu placed a pot of green tea and four cups, "Welcome to my home"

"Thanks for the help, thanks to you I finally know how to proceed," Masaru said with a smile, he poured in tea for Pangu first before for himself and the girls.

"It's only natural that I help you since I am expecting your help in return after all" Pangu said straightforwardly,

"However, you two ladies sure surprised me. Are the rest of the girls in this boy's team as monstrous as you?" Pangu asked

"Nya? Everyone has their strength, I don't think anyone is weaker than the other in the team since Masaru trains us all hard" Kuroka said while thinking of Shirone whom she was missing.

"Oho? So the boy trains his own peerage, guess that is the custom of the Devil World in this era huh?" Pangu spoke as he remembered the great war when the old demon kings once ruled over the devils, back then peerage members were selected by the most powerful but never trained. The only training was life and death combat.

"Pangu, I have received an invitaiton from Wang Long. Do you perhaps know what is about?" Masaru asked,

"Hmmm? If he invited you then it means those who wish to take Kouryuu's power has started to make their moves" Pangu muttered before glancing at Masaru apologetically, "You have truly come at a bad time, with you here, you are already part of our civil war so I can only ask you to personally support Wang Long"

"Could it be the opposing faction is attacking him?" Masaru asked,

"More precisely one of the direction gods made their move, whenever the direction god make their move we have no choice but to defend. If even one of the direction gods perish, we are not certain if we can succeed with the Ritual" Pangu explained,

"No wonder" Masaru muttered as he understood why the Azure Dragon and Phoenix could move around so brazenly, it appears the gods were troubled due to the incoming ritual.

Masaru continued to chat with Pangu before he left together with the girls for the hotel, tomorrow morning he will have to meet Wang Long to understand just what was going on.
