Chapter Two - Peaceful

Elemental Spirit Campaign

Every ten years, many Sects comes to hold together a big event called the Elemental Spirit Campaign. At the very beginning, the campaign was only made for fun between two friends and their Sects, but soon, later on, little changes began, and it changed to become a competitive game between Sects. The game is basically, whichever Sects wins well be known as Elemental Sect Master. To become Elemental Sect Master, they have to earn the highest points than the rest of the Sects. To win points is to either catch Spiritual Beast, killing Demonic Beast, finding Spiritual Plants, and finding Celestial Spiritual Beast.

Level D + 100 points

Level C + 200 points

Level B + 300 points

Level A + 400 points

Level SS + 500 points

Catching Spiritual Beasts are 100-500 points depending on the type of level Spiritual Beast they find.

Fail to catch one of them; then, your Sect will lose - 100 - 500 points depending on the level type beast you fail to capture.

Killing Demonic Beast is the same as catching Spiritual Beast. Depending on the type of level the beast is, that's the point that will be given and taken away.

Finding Spiritual Plants are about 200 points, but if rare Spiritual Plants are found, another 200 points are added to the first 200 points. But since Spiritual Plants are rare in general, each Sects are only allowed to have five Spiritual Plants picked. If more than five Spiritual Plants are taken, - 500 points will be taken away.

And lastly, being about to find a Celestial Spiritual Beast will be + 800 points given and being able to catch it will be + 200 points added. But if the Celestial Spiritual Beast is forced into being found, then it will be a - 1000 points. The Celestial Beast has to be willing to be caught, same with Spiritual Beast, and if harms are down to the beast, it will be a - 2000 points.

Any act of violation like attacking other Sects students intentionally will result in the Sects losing all its points, and it will be a lot harder to regain them. Stealing from other Sects will also automatically occurs in Sects losing its points.

The game is base on how will a Sect Leader teach their students about Elemental Spirit and behavior towards others. If a student acts out, it will result in the Sect Leader losing face.

The Elemental Spirit Campaign would take place at the Celestial Gateway of Realms, which will happen in two months during the winter from what Lu Xun remembers in the novel. And during that, Lu Zheng stumbles upon a forbidden area filled with dark energy. In the story, an old Demonic Cultivator who's master in Demonic Cultivation and this old cultivator had asked Lu Zheng to be his discipline to trick the young boy so he can possess Lu Zheng's young and fair body. But Lu Zheng felt so happy about it, all his whole childhood up to when he turned a teen, he only watched from behind his sibling's shadows and saw all of their great achievements, how people loved them while he is ignored. Even if he is born a retard, it didn't mean he didn't have feelings, and Lu Zheng is a susceptible child growing up.

Lu Zheng, under the Demonic Master, trades his illness and Elemental Spirit for the Demonic path. The Demonic Master gave Lu Zheng his power, thinking he can kill Lu Zheng with it, but he made a grave mistake, the moment Lu Zheng obtain the Demonic power, Lu Zheng was like a living bomb just waiting to explode. And Lu Zheng surely did explode, killing the Demonic Master and himself along but everyone knows that the protagonist doesn't die. The dark magic in the forbidden area revive Lu Zheng and made him stronger. The Dark Path of Lu Zheng had begun.

Lu Xun can't let that happen at all. He must find a way to make sure Lu Zheng never leaves his side over the next two months before the campaign. Letting Lu Zheng go down the Demonic Path is like looking forward to your death, and Lu Xun is not a masochist, by the way.

"Hey Shitty System can the 'Beginning of Demonic Lord Lu Zheng' be avoid?"

[System: Absolutely not! If Host dares to stop the 'Beginning of Demonic Lord Lu Zheng,' punishment will be brought upon on you.]

"What kind of punishment will it be?"

[System: You'll be tortured for hours, or have your limbs be chopped off, or be electrocuted then brought back to life to be electrocuted again, or possibly get killed by the protagonist in many ways.]

"..... Alright then... I guess I'll have to hug the golden thigh of the protagonist."

[System: Host is a wimp.]

"Who's fault do you think it is?!"

[System: .....]

"Young Master Lu?" Chen Yi's voice reached his Lu Xun's ear, making him look over to the young man who seems to have been staring at him for a while now. "Is everything alright? Young Master Ku has been staring off for a long time."

"Ah, yes, I am." Lu Xun answered, nodding his at the other while trying to keep a straight face since the original owner had a resting bitch face. "I want to go for some fresh air. It's too stuffy in here; the open window doesn't help much."

In the Lu family, the Lu siblings don't stay in the same manor as their parents; they had a separate estate that they live in. In the novel, the original Lu Xun is lived in a very grand home. It is said that the manor is designed by the original Lu Xun himself from a very young age. He created every beautiful little detail; these designs were made in his spare time when he had nothing to do. Many people love his manor and would die to have it; Lu Xun wouldn't blame them for wanting to have it.

As Lu Xun and Chen Yi walked around the manor, he is very impressed with the original owner. In the novel, the beautiful estate was never described in detail; it just said that it was beautiful, and everyone loves it. Maybe it's that the original Lu Xun is just a manor character that it doesn't matter much to the author and only appear when the protagonist just needed a person to push them forward. The manor is magnificent as people said it is — the people in the novel that is anyways. The author made a challenge for people to design a beautiful estate; however, they like to base on the small description they had gotten from the author about the manor, and every outcome of the people was fantastic. Though no one could agree on how the estate would look like so, they said it's too beautiful, so it's better to leave it to our imaginations. Lu Xun once agreed with them, but now that he has seen the beautiful manor, Lu Xun is speechless. The manor is built in front of a big cliff with a waterfall falling behind the estate. The waterfall flows down into a big pond with a big cherry blossom tree island in the middle with the water surrounding it in the back of the yard. Along the two walls that surround the manor backyard, bushes of flowers and Spirit Plants grew, and in the middle of the yard, a big 'Yin and Yang' symbol is designed into the stone ground. Truly a sight to be held. Lu Xun is just in awe at how much the original Lu Xun spent his childhood doing all this, and the result comes out wonderfully. In the middle of the 'Yin and Yang,' a small extended rectangular platform is laid there with a guqin[1] laid on top of a small square table. Lu Xun tilts his head as he saw the sight in front of him. Did the original Lu Xun play the guqin? He sure a graceful man for an asshole to the protagonist — if he did even play it.

"...." Chen Yi, who was behind Lu Xun, saw that his Young Master stared at the guqin and spoke, "Does Young Master Lu want to play his guqin?"

Lu Xun looks back to Chen Yi then to the guqin, "I don't think I would be able to play now, I have forgotten so much within those two weeks."

Back in his original world, Lu Xun played many stringed instruments before, but all his music teachers said he needed more work. Ha! Did you think I, the author, was going to make Lu Jie good at instruments? Nope! Anyways Lu Xun was never good, but hey at least he tried and gotten good grades out of it — or his teachers give him good grades because they pity him, but hey whatever works for him is good enough. He bet if he dare to play it, he'll set chaos upon the world.

"Young Master Lu, do you want to inform your siblings of your awake?" Chen Yi asked he knows how much his Young Master loves and cares for his siblings — minus his younger brother.

Apart from Lu Xun and Chen Yi, no one else lived in the manor, so it's evident that no one outside knew that Lu Xun is even waking at all. The original Lu Xun hated human contact, but Chen Yi was the expectation, I guess.

"That well do." Lu Xun mumbled, a little spaced out.

Chen Yi nodded his head and left Lu Xun standing in the middle of the backyard in front of the cherry blossom tree. Lu Xun watch as the pink petal fall from the tree onto the water and the little island that supported the tree is filled with small little pink petal. The sunlight shines down through the blossom petals, it was like a beautiful scenery out of a amazing movie or something and Lu Xun strangely like this — though who wouldn't like this; it has such a peaceful feeling to it. Lu Xun quiet sat down in front of the pond and watched the water sway by the ripples of falling water, the little blossom petals floated on top. Lu Xun back in his original world had never stopped him to enjoy a single silent peaceful day ever. He's always working and working to support himself, constantly getting rip off by store owner, getting trouble by drunk girls or boys who comes into the store thinking it's their home and getting yelled at his boss from being lazy. Ah, how much he wish for a peaceful and now that he got it, he suddenly don't want it. The mind works in such a strange way.

Lu Xun waited patiently for Chen Yi to come back. He only stared at the beautiful scenery in front of him endless, not even move the slight bit and his heart beat steady at the calmness of his surroundings. Strangely, Lu Xun felt at peace unlike when he was in his original world but his heart would constantly at random times become sad and heart broken for reasons unknown to him. It was a mysterious to him but he never mind it, just accepted it as life. But now that his heart is at peace, he felt more alive than he ever was back in this original world. Secretly he wished after all of this, he wonders he'll ever get to stay here or does he have to go back to his world? He debated many scenarios inside his head about how much his new future was gonna be like for him and how much he has to work to not get kill by the protagonist. Lu Xun only sigh in the end, looking up at the top of the tree that shade him from the blinding sunlight and smiled softly at the warmth the visible sunlight gave off. This is peaceful. This felt right to him.

Lu Xun blinked when he heard footsteps coming his way, he turned his head behind him and found himself having a staring contest with a young beautiful looking man and Lu Xun's unknowingly skip a beat.

Bing!
