The First Beast

As the younger generation moved into the forest Sun Tian moved over to Sun Zai.

"Sun Zai let me see the map for a couple of seconds," said Sun Tian

"What do you need to see the map for? Aren't you gonna follow with the rest of us?" asked Sun Zai with a confused look.

"I'm gonna go off by myself since Vort Goi is gonna come after me," explained Sun Tian

Sun Zai nodded his head and handed Sun Tian the map. After memorizing the map Sun Tian handed the map back to Sun Zai.

"Good luck with your hunt Sun Tian," said Sun Zai with a good-natured smile.

"To you too," said Sun Tian

After their simple conversation, Sun Tian went off by himself.

---------------------

As Sun Zai and the rest of the Sun family's younger generation went in one direction, Sun Tian went in the other. Sun Tian moved through the forest quickly by hopping from tree to tree. He went deeper into the forest hoping to find an origin beast.

Like humans, beasts also have their method of cultivation. The beasts also have 9 ranks with 9 stages in each rank. A rank 1 beast was referred to as a savage beast. Sun Tian hoped to find a savage beast to train.

As he moved through the forest he encountered many normal beasts at the same level as ordinary humans. These beasts simply meant nothing to him as they were mortals and had not started to cultivate. Sun Tian decided to settle down for the night as the sun went down he noticed that the beasts around him started to shiver and stopped moving.

Sun Tian felt excited as he knew the only thing that can make normal beasts shiver and shake in fear like this are beasts that started to cultivate. Sun Tian heard some of the bushes to his left move and saw red eyes staring at him. Sun Tian jumped as a wolf darted out of the bush towards him. This wolf had bright red eyes and sprinkles of yellow in its fur coat. Sun Tian smiled as he noticed there were 8 stripes of said yellow in its coat. Clearly, this Yellow Coat Wolf was an Eighth Stage Savage Beast.

Sun Tian felt his blood pump as he got into a fighting position. He darted towards the wolf at full speed. The wolf dodged to the left and swiped its claw at Sun Tian's legs. Sun Tian slammed his foot into the ground and bounced above the Yellow Coat Wolf. As gravity started to take effect Sun Tian smashed his palm into the wolf's spine.

'CRACK!'

A loud whining sound came out of the wolf's mouth in its final moments. Sun Tian smiled as he saw the wolf pass away and collected the wolf's coat since it was worth a pretty penny.

-------------------

After a couple more days Sun Tian had killed about 8 - 9 savage beasts but only 2 had gone above the sixth stage. Sun Tian smiled wryly as he felt terrible about his luck. He had hoped for a little bit of a challenge so he could test his combat ability.

Suddenly Sun Tian felt his hair raise and he jumped to the side.

"Didn't expect trash like you to be able to dodge my attack."

"If I couldn't dodge such a move I might as well kill myself."

As Sun Tian looked over he saw Vort Goi grabbing his saber from the ground.

"You should start running or you will die, although it doesn't matter either way because you are fighting me," said Vort Goi while dripping with arrogance.

"I can't wait to see your face of agony while I torture you slowly," Vort Goi said

"It's incredible how little you think," said Sun Tian while amazed at how dumb Vort Goi is.

"Enough talk prepare to die!" yelled Vort Goi

Sun Tian simply gave him a calm look and prepared for the attack that was no doubt about to head his way. A saber slashed at Sun Tian quickly but Sun Tian dodged under it and darted towards Vort Goi. Sun Tian moved quickly towards Vort Goi while dodging his slashes. As Sun Tian got within range he slammed his foot against the ground sending dirt up towards Vort Goi's face.

"You shameless bastard fight me head on!" yelled Vort Goi while blinded by dirt.

"No," Sun Tian uttered simply.

After speaking Sun Tian grabbed Vort Goi's right arm that was holding the saber and snapped it at the elbow. A scream of agony sounded from Vort Goi's mouth before he got kicked in the face by Sun Tian.

"Shut up, you screaming is annoying," said Sun Tian.

"You bastard, if you dare to kill me my dad will massacre you entire Sun family," said Vort Goi through gritted teeth.

"Oh no I'm so scared," Sun Tian said mockingly

"Remeber not to be so stupid in your next life"

"NOOOOO!"

'SNAP'

Sun Tian sighed while looking at Vort Goi's body. Sun Tian lit a match and burnt his corpse to ashes. As the ashes swept through the sky Sun Tian suddenly felt that something was watching him.
