Heavenly Palace

(Hicks)

*What do I need to do?*

(Argent)

"Alright so you need to..."

(Huzi)

"So boy, how will you heal me?"

(Shaun)

"Yes do tell, I am curious myself"

(Hicks)

"Well father, I need ginseng. That's it"

(Huzi)

"Ginseng? Any specific age?"

(Hicks)

"Yes, 1 year old would be good"

Huzi and Shaun look surprised

(Huzi)

"Such a cheap ingredient can heal my serious injury?"

(Hicks)

"Well, for me it's a special case"

(Huzi)

"Very well, Shaun go have a servant fetch these ingredients"

(Shaun)

"Alright"

A few minutes later Shaun comes back with two ginseng in jars

(Shaun)

"This one is 1 year old but I also brought another that is 5 years old, which one do you want"

(Hicks)

"The 1 year old one will do"

(Huzi)

"Shaun you can keep that one"

Hicks opens the jar and picks up the ginseng

(Hicks)

"Father please lay down"

Huzi lays down and waits for his treatment

Hicks puts his hand on Huzi's head and puts some energy into his head making Huzi pass out.

Hicks infuses some of his energy into the ginseng and the ginseng turns slightly blue. Hicks then reaches for the nearest knife and stabs Huzi deeply with it in the chest

(Shaun)

"BASTARD WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

(Hicks)

"Wait"

Hicks places the ginseng on Huzi's chest where it had been stabbed. Huzi's body starts absorbing the Qi from the ginseng. A few minutes pass and Huzi wakes up. He quickly gets out of bed and goes outside. He points towards a tree and a laser made out of purple energy shoots out of his finger making a clean hole through the tree

(Huzi)

"Hicks, what have you done?"

(Hicks)

"Father?"

(Huzi)

"You have healed me of my injuries but not only that, I have an energy within me that has made me even stronger than before"

(Hicks)

"Well, that is not something I can answer, for I do not know the reason either. I was just taught that I could do that"

(Argent)

"Honestly I wasn't sure if your father would be able to heal from that considering he is a dark Qi practitioner, his dark energy could've counteracted your Elemental dragon energy"

(Hicks)

*So there was a possibility this wouldn't work?!*

(Argent)

"Not only that, you stabbed him so he could've died"

(Huzi)

"Hicks? Did you hear me?"

(Hicks)

"Sorry father what was that I zoned out"

(Huzi)

"Will you be participating in the family challenge?"

(Hicks)

"Yes, and I intend to win"

(Huzi)

"Well you should give up, your eldest brother has become very exceptional, he might be the most powerful of our family alone"

(Hicks)

"Well, I hope to prove you wrong"

(Huzi)

"Hicksbess, I haven't been able to sense any energy from you, that means you haven't gotten any stronger since you got to the Pavilion"

(Hicks)

"I will still be participating no matter what you say"

(Huzi)

"You misunderstand, I'm not saying you should, I'm telling you to give up"

(Hicks)

"And I'm telling you I will not, I will fight and keep our family as head"

Hicks leaves the room and walks around the palace

(Huzi and Shaun)

*What a stubborn jackass*

As Hicks walks around he bumps into a slightly young boy walking past

(Hicks)

"Sorry about that"

(Young Boy)

"Cousin Hicksbess is that you!?!?"

(Hicks)

*That voice!!*

"Cousin Koha. (Koe-Ah)

(Koha)

"Yeah it's been so long my favorite cousin"

(Hicks)

"Where were you sent to?"

(Koha)

"I was sent with Cousin Duling, Chy, Du, and Ging to the High Earth Sect"

(Hicks)

*Lucky Bastard*

"Wow that's great, I heard they are wealthy and train their disciples well"

(Argent)

"I don't like this kid, he's a light practitioner"

(Hicks)

*So what?*

(Argent)

"Nothing, my master just didn't like them so I don't either"

(Koha)

"I'm so strong now, probably still stronger than you!"

(Hicks)

*This is why I hate this little sh*t*

"Oh really! Do you wanna have a quick spar?"

*So I can put you in your place*

(Koha)

"Nah I wouldn't wanna waste your time and send you to the nursing area"

(Hicks)

*B**ch if I face you in the challenge your so dead!*

"Ah I see, well I've wasted enough of your time so I'll go now"

Hicks swiftly walks away, he then starts running when Koha leaves and goes to the gate of the main palace he goes up to one of the guards and tells him he wants to go see the town for awhile

(Guard)

"Kid are you sure? The challenge is going to be tomorrow and something might happen"

(Hicks)

"Seriously? I'm a descendant of the Heavenly Family, I'll be fine"

(Guard)

"But you are also Hicksbess, the one known to be the child with no Cultivation Power, I don't even sense any energy from you"

(Hicks)

*Ugh this dragon energy is such a pain is the a***

(Argent)

"Not my fault humans can't sense dragon or god Qi"

(Voice from behind Hicks)

"Come on Hicksbess, stay till the challenge so you don't get hurt till then"

Hicks turns around and sees a rather large muscled young man, he is about 16 years of age.

(Hicks)

*One pain after another*

"Hello cousin Du how are you, from what I've heard from Koha you've been doing fine"

(Du)

"Yes I have, and your still weak as always"

(Hicks)

*Argent, wanna use some of your lucky magic to shut him up*

(Argent)

"I can make him trip embarrassingly"

(Hicks)

"I guess I'll follow cousin DU's suggestion and stay here. Guess I'll go now"

Hicks leaves and Du also leaves, he takes a few steps and trips on a rock making him fall on the back of his head, he passes out and the guards just stand there giggling at him not doing anything

Hicks goes back to his courtyard to get some rest, he lays on his bed but is immediately disturbed by two people'a presence in the room. Hicks gets up from his bed and sees Li Na & Li Ning standing at his door

(Hicks)

"Just can't catch a break can I"
