The Martial Dragon 2......... { SHADOW CLONING }

The old man left a scroll where he was sitting before disappearing, the scroll looks tatared and old. "What is this ?," Leo took the scroll and read- SHADOW CLONING _ swift technique. 

.. Theshadow is the lightest

 Lighter than the wind 

 The brightest light does not see the shadow

 The shadow is slant." Huh useless".

The village looks so beautiful, the

buildings looks simple and decent,

decorated with flowers on each sides,it could be called a mini paradise, trading is the best business here. Gu region is known for its trade, anything and everything can be found. Leo looked 

around in amusement, Lord Tuga's house is on the mountain and far from the village,so he was in the village for the first time.

" Thirteen dragon seeds for two blood 

gems " a short man shouted out. " what 

are blood gems and dragon seeds? Leo 

asked himself, Everything in the village 

Was new and strange to leo but something keeps boiling in him as he 

saw the dragon seeds, " what are they ....

" Hello, I'm huh..., I really don't know my 

name , I'm used to ... , " Your name is not 

needed boy, you want them ?" the short 

man said interrupting Leo.

"Yes " Leo replied happily, " where are your blood gems " the short man asked , 

"what is a blood gem" Leo asked 

looking perplexed. The short man looked 

at him with disgust and shouted " are 

you trying to mock me boy, or are you 

one of the Girs ?, see in not afraid of you, 

get lost".

" No, no I'm not, I just don't know 

anything, Leo said apologetically . " You 

are new here, are you from another empire, or from the rumored world " the 

short man asked Leo with self alert.

" I am a student of Lord Tuga, the... " Lord Tuga, that lazy and smelly Old 

bastard" the short man said and shook 

his head with pity.

A young man, wearing a white *vina* 

and with a black silvery sword rode to 

the stall. "Let me have the dragon seeds old man ,I'd give you three blood gems", the young man said with a sinister tone." Your friend here has bought it benefactor ,pls come next time the short man replied. " I'd give you three 

golden dragon gems, let me have it " the 

young man said with a threatening and 

forceful voice.

"I just sold it to your friend here" the short man retorted angrily.The young man threw a brutal punch, the old man did some hand signs but he was to slow and was blown away. " How dare you" Leo didn't know why he said that, because he couldn't fight with such a person . " why are you making so much noise fellow, do you want a punch too" the young man replied mockingly and didn't take Leo seriously . " Hey Zope, why are you trying to look cool with such pieces of trash, I'm your real opponent, don't waste your energy on Those guys, because I won't be merciful " a chubby ape looking man said aggressively and mockingly to the young man ." You should be the one to keep your energy so I won't defeat you like last time " the young man retorted dismissively.

" You didn't defeat me, it was a draw Zope" the ape looking man said and got 

going .

" Fucking ape ,you I'd deal with you next 

Time" he said pointing at leo and then 

got on his red painted horse.

"He is a dead man ...

" Sorry boy , you would be dead by tomorrow

" He dared shout at Zope..., Everyone 

on the streets murmured and looked at 

Leo with deep pity.

" Boy help me up" the short man shouted 

angrily at Leo. "I'm so sorry Koda " Leo

said lifting the short man back to his feet.

**Kuda, is used for old people to show respect or for people who's name is unknown to you. 

" Why did you lie to him , I didn't buy them " Leo asked the short man . 

" I know why he wanted it , that's why I

didn't sell it to him, a dragon seed

coupled with technique scrolls can make 

a person break through to the nature

layer " the short man replied looking like a kungfu master. Leo's heart began to beat faster and faster, " nature layer, 

technique scroll, " .... " But why are you 

selling it out if it is really useful for 

cultivation? " Leo asked. " little boy, I'm 

selling it out because I don't need it ,I'm 

old and I have given up the dream of 

cultivating but blood gems or golden 

dragon gems are useful to me - the 

gems increases life expectancy of a 

mortal, but it's useless to strong

cultivators" . " But selling it to Zope

means killing the village. " Zope is the 

most feared sub_cultivator, He looks 

gentle, but he is brutal and merciless, he 

once killed a whole clan because they 

refused to give him there ancestors 

sword technique scroll." Said the old 

man.

 Leo now understood why the old man 

acted that way, but he didn't understand 

this whole sub - cultivator rubbish " ... 

Huh, what is a sub_ cultivator ? " Leo 

asked shyly. " You are really useless, 

young man, it means he is about to 

break through to the nature layer , look 

here boy the sub _ cultivation layer is 

divided into three ,the awakening, the 

technique doffin, and the spirit 

awakening, after these you become a 

real cultivator." Is that okay , the short 

said with a mocking smile . " Here , take 

the seeds and use them when you are 

about to break through... " But what 

ab.... ,"Shhhhhs boy don't reject it, take it" 

Thanks Kuda , leo felt determined for the 

first time and vowed in his heart to 

cultivate hard and punch Zope like he did 

to this good old man.

" One more thing young man take this 

mask, it's the Quan mask,only a real 

cultivator can detect it , put it on so Zope 

won't recognize you." He said those 

things looking like a dying father 

addressing his children.

" Thanks Kuda" a tear dropped from leo's 

eye as he said waved at the short man 

and left, moving towards....
