True Strength
(Hicks)
"Crap I didn't expect so much to happen, I just wanted to get stronger"
(Argent)
"Yeah you messed up man"
(Hicks)
*Its all your fault, if i hadn't listened to you that day I wouldn't be in this situation*
(Argent)
"But which situation is better"
(Hicks)
"Hmph"
Hicks exits the main hall and goes to his shack. He opens the door and it breaks off.
(Hicks)
"Hah I can't be bothered right now"
He goes to his bed and jumps onto it. He goes to sleep before he can make himself comfortable
Hicks suddenly feels a sharp pain in his ribs
(Li Na)
"Wake up sleepy head"
He looks at his ribs and sees that Li Na is jabbing her fist into him
(Hicks)
"AAGH... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"
(Li Na)
"You haven't left your shack in three days and... I was worried" Li Na's face glows pink
(Hicks)
"3 days, ah"
*Argent how long was I out"
(Argent)
"3 days"
(Hicks)
"So is that all you came for Li Na?"
(Li Na)
"That's Senior Sister Li Na to you! And no that's not all I came for... Grandmaster got into a fight with Master Mao Li... he is injured but it's not bad, he has requested to see you"
(Hicks)
*What the hell happened while I was out?*
"Lead the way"
Li Na and Hicks leave his house and go to Zhang Daoling's isolation chamber. When they arrive they enter the chamber and see Zhang Daoling laying down with bandages on him, he isn't wearing a shirt revealing huge and firm muscles
(Hicks)
*Damn this guy's ripped*
Hicks sees Li Jing sitting next to him, Li Jing glares at him but Hicks brushes it off. He starts walking towards Zhang Daoling but is stopped by Li Jing.
(Li Jing)
"What are you doing here you poser, you should leave"
(Hicks)
"He requested to see me, now move before I make you"
(Li Jing)
"Ha the weakling is acting all tough! When you can beat me in a match I'll let you see him"
(Hicks)
"Fine let's fight outside"
(Li Jing)
"Ah what... Oh I see you wanna act all tough in-front of Li Na, Hahaha, shes out of you're league so I recommend you give up"
Li Na blushes in embarrassment
(Li Na)
"What are you talking about, just let him see Master"
(Li Jing)
"No he agreed to fight me so we'll do that instead, follow me"
Li Jing leaves the room and Li Na and Hicks follow. She takes them to an open area where they can spar
(Li Jing)
"Since we are kind of close to building we won't use skills, we will only fight fairly fist to fist, you can use skills that boost you're strength but I bet you don't have any you lowlife"
Li Na whispers into Hicks' ear
(Li Na)
"Why did you agree to this?"
Hicks smiles
(Hicks)
"For some reason I've been itching for a fight, shall we begin"
(Li Jing)
"Yes, the match will now begin"
Li Jing makes the first move and quickly dashes at Hicks halfway to him she disappears and reappears behind Hicks
(Li Jing)
"It's over"
But then Hicks simply elbows her in the face and she falls to the ground moaning in pain
(Li Jing)
"Ah what the, agh that hurt"
Then Hicks starts kicking her while she is on the floor
(Li Jing)
"Ow Agh can yo-... STOP"
Hicks stops and backs off, Li Jing gets up infuriated and she has some bruises on her arms
(Li Jing)
"Have you no honor! Kicking your opponent while they are down, even when they are a woman"
*It may have been a dirty move but it shouldn't have hurt that much, last time I saw him he was a Qi-gathering I believe, it's only been a few weeks and he has beaten me so*
(Hicks)
"Shall we continue?"
(Li Jing)
"Yes but no dirty moves"
Li Jing gets ready but before she realizes Hicks is behind her and he starts to punch her in the ribs. Li Jing shouts in pain on the verge of crying. Hicks continues, blow after blow, he has probably broken a few ribs by now
(Li Jing)
"Please... please stop I surrender!"
(Li Na)
"How cruel"
(Argent)
"Don't you think that was a little much, she isn't as strong as you, have some restraint"
Hicks stops and she falls to the ground
(Hicks)
"You brought me out here to beat me, but now that I have started to beat you, you cry. You surrender like a coward, where is your pride"
Hicks kicks her in face knocking her out. He leaves and returns to the isolation chamber, he leaves her there on the floor. Li Na leaves her there as well and follows Hicks.
Hicks gets to the chamber and sees Zhang Daoling hasn't moved at all since they left
Hicks goes up to Zhang Daoling and punches him in the stomach as hard as he can
(Li Na)
"What are you doing!!!"
She attempts to stoke Hicks but he punches her in the face and sends her flying through the door
Zhang Daoling starts coughing up blood, then starts coughing up black liquid. Before Zhang Daoling stops some men start rushing into the room. Who dares to strike Lady Na, they all look at Hicks and try to attack him he leaps out the window and the men leave the chamber through the door to follow him.

(Hicks)
"Heh, fine. Come at me, I'll take you all on"
Disciples and Followers start charging at Hicks a few at a time, three people start charging at Hicks
(Argent)
"I guess to save some time I'll give you this skill"
Words start flowing into Hicks' head and he smiles
(Hicks)
