Training

After Hao Ren calmed down, his expression turned serious as he never expected this.

"I know it is almost impossible and this is putting you under a huge pressure, but you are currently the only one who can?" Zhao Huang said

"From what I can see, you gained an even better legacy than mine so you should advance faster. I don't know if you will make it in time but hopefully you can" Zhao Huang continued

"Okay Senior, I will do my best" Hao Ren said respectfully

"Okay, you should know about my clan right?" Zhao Huang asked Hao Ren

"I've only read about it once, but I'm not too clear about it. I only know they are one of the biggest clans in the middle of the continent" Hao Ren said

"I want you to help protect my clan if calamity truly befalls, I know its a selfish request but I really do want you to help them" Zhao Huang said

"I will do my best senior" Hao Ren said

"My time is already almost up, I'll use my remaining power to help strengthen the seal so you can grow stronger. How far you grow depends on you entire, I hope this pressure doesn't break you and instead helps quicken your cultivation" Zhao Huang said

"I wish you success as the fate of the world lies on your shoulders, take this little guy with you" Zhao Huang said to Hao Ren

When Hao Ren heard that he remembered there was a wolf cub with him also in the cave

"I am indebted to its mother so I don't have any issues of taking care of it" Hao Ren said while looking at the little wolf

The wolf also seemed to understand what Zhao Huang said and looked at Hao Ren with its big eyes

"This little guy is quite special and doesn't have the bloodline of a normal wolf. He has a mutated bloodline that makes him stand above most of the beast as his bloodline is quite noble also" Zhao Huang said

Hao Ren looked at the wolf once again as he never expected it to be special

"Okay senior, henceforth he will be my companion. He will go with me where ever I go and I will protect him with my life" Hao Ren said. Hao Ren immediately changed the way he addressed the wolf from it to him as that will make them sound closer

"I will give him a gift so he will be more helpful to you" Zhao Huang said while a ray of light shot into the forehead of the wolf

As the ray of light shot towards the wolf, it did nothing to avoid it. As soon as the light entered its head, it received a lot of information's about arrays. The little wolf closed its eyes, absorbing and familiarizing itself with the new knowledge it received.

"I just passed all my methods and knowledge I have gained throughout my years of practicing and studying array formation to the little guy. It will be very easy for him to learn and apply them so he will definitely help you later in your journey" Zhao Huang feeling pleased said to Hao Ren

Hao Ren was dumbfounded a bit and said "Senior isn't this impossible, will he be able to apply it. I have never heard of a beast being good at array formations"

"You need all the help you can get, and besides, this little guy is not your average beast. You will get to know more about him and how special he his" said Zhao Huang

After some time the little wolf opened up its eyes and a brilliant light could be seen passing through it.

Hao Ren stayed in the cave for the rest of the day. When dawn came the next day, Hao Ren decided it was time to leave as he has to train and familiarize himself with his new powers and also his new techniques.

"Senior, I will be leaving now, thank you once again for your help as you have changed my life. I will try my best to improve as fast as I can" Hao Ren said to Zhao Huang respectfully

"Hao Ren, there is a lot of danger out there. Always remember to be careful I know you also need dangers as it will help you grow quicker. Always remember to protect the little wolf also as he will help you in your journey. I was a great formation master and I know how helpful formations are" Zhao Huang said

"Since we will be together it will be best if I gave you a name as it is quite awkward calling you little wolf every where" Hao Ren said while looking at the little wolf

The wolf nodded his head in approval to what Hao Ren said. Hao Ren reached out his hands towards the little wolf that was laying down by his side and pats his head and looked directly into its eyes "How about we call you Grey?" Hao Ren asked the wolf.

When the wolf heard this, it whimpers in disapproval as it didn't like the name.

Hao Ren smiled wryly, "How about Xiao?" Hao Ren asked the wolf again. When the wolf heard this name, it nodded in approval and licked his hands jumping happily

"Senior I will be going now. I will try my best to fulfill my promise to you and also to help eliminate Goku. I hope you can also buy me more time" Hao Ren said respectfully while bowing

"I will do my best. I will disappear soon, so there will be no need for you to return here" Zhao Huang said

"What are your plans after leaving here?" Zhao Huang asked Hao Ren

"I will train a little to get accustomed to my new strength and first return to the sect to inform the sect leader about leaving this region, I will first go and search for my father, and will train in the process" Hao Ren told Zhao Huang his plans for the future for now

"Okay, you should know you need a bigger stage as it will help in your growth" Zhao Huang said

"Yes Senior, I will leave for a better place as soon as I am done with what I have to do here. My aim will be going to the center of the continent as that is where all the heavyweights of the continent are located" Hao Ren said

"Hao Ren, you should be careful. You know there are a lot of people with strong backgrounds that you can't afford to offend sat least until you are as strong as them" Zhao Huang gave Hao Ren some advice before he left.

Hao Ren said his final farewell to Zhao Huang before he stood up and walked out of the cave with Xiao following by his side.

'Is it really fate?, will he be able to save the world?' Zhao Huang thought to himself

'Hopefully he can, I will do the best I can. I will leave the rest to you now young one' Zhao Huang thought

After Hao Ren walked to the outer region of the cave, he was the body of the dead wolf. He paid his respects to it before leaving the cave with Xiao

Boom...

A green eyed bull crashed heavily onto a tree. Opposite the tree a handsome youth in all black could be seen walking towards it with a leisure expression, beside the youth was a grey wolf cub. The youth was precisely Hao Ren, after Hao Ren's transformation from the fire, he looked even more handsome that he could almost be described as beautiful.

One of the reason most of the male disciples in the Silver Lining sect hate him was because of his handsome face, although he never had anything with the female disciples, he was their dream man.

When Hao Ren got close to the beast, he easily smashed its head open and took out its core

"With this I might be able to completely form the ninth tattoo" Hao Ren said while sighing

After Hao Ren left the cave, it has been a week and he has gotten used to his new strength, though not completely but it won't take long anymore. He has finally found out the use of the tattoos on his pillars, each pillar requires ten tattoos each to completely form. When he killed a Foundation Establishment Realm beast and tried refining it, he noticed it. But unfortunately, it was only a First Stage Foundation Establishment Realm beast so it wasn't able to completely form the ninth tattoo of each pillar. Though it was able to form the ninth tattoo in one of the pillars, that wasn't enough for him since he needs all pillars to have ten each.

After Hao Ren completely refined the core, all his pillars had the ninth tattoos. Now he's just a little closer to having a breakthrough to the Second Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I will still need at least a core from a Fourth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm beast to break through or at least five cores from Third Stage Foundation Establishment Realm beasts. Damn this cultivation technique is really a resource burning technique. With the energy I have absorbed, I should have broken through for some time now. Yet I still need more energy" Hao Ren said sadly

His cultivation technique needs an insane amount of energy to advance to the next stage. It needs at least seven times of what a normal person will use in breaking through

Hao Ren continued heading deeper into the forest to try to break through

'After I break through, I will return to the sect to get my revenge' Hao Ren thought to himself as he went further in...
