Martial Transcendence

Eastern Mountains,

It was noon, the sun is burning at its limit, the mountains and the forest were peaceful as always. Only God knew why it was so.

In the middle of said mountains, there was a den inside of a cliff. Inside the den, a boy was sitting on a big rock. He is almost 170 cm high with a bare top and wearing purple shorts, and his eyes were closed with sharp eyebrows and a ponytail. His face was handsome.

Suddenly, the air around him got tense and he opened his eyes.

BOOM!

The whole cliff shook. The birds and animals on the cliff started running away. Inside the den, that boy sighed exasperated.

"Huff, I reached the 9th stage of Qi Condensation realm" he said with a deep breath. He was none other than Du Chan. Six years have passed since he started cultivating. He was 14 years old now.

He came down from his rock and wore a plain white t-shirt. A guy entered the room after the commotion ended.

"Brother Chan, let\'s eat" that guy was the same height as Du Chan but he was fatter. He was Zho Rong. With the devilish training imposed by Du Chan, he reached the 1st stage of the Body Training realm a few days ago. He can be considered a genius too because he reached the 1st stage at 14 years of age.

"Sure" Du Chan said with a smile.

Zho Rong, shocked by the sight of Du Chan, said "Brother Chan. It looks like you become more handsome by the day"

Du Chan smiled and both of them walked out of the den, hunted 2 deer, made a dish and ate.

"Brother Chan. I heard that a beast\'s meat is very good!" Zho rong talked while munching on his meal.

"Hmm. I heard that too, but we don\'t have any beasts in here and if we wanted to hunt them we need to go to the northern forest. And that\'s impossible because Auntie will not allow us" he explained

"Ahh! I want to become an adult and become stronger than anyone. Well except brother Chan though..." Zho Rong laughed.

"Haha, sure why not. Let\'s conquer this world on our own, haha" Du Chan said.

"With brother Chan, we can do anything"....both of them chit chatted for some time.

"Let\'s go. It\'s time for your training" Du Chan stood up but Zho Rong\'s expression changed.

"Brother Chan…please be gentle…" Zho Rong requested before they began.

Du Chan didn\'t do anything regarding his complaint. He went back to the rock he sat on before and picked up a big rod made of iron. Seeing him brandish the rod, Zho Rong stood up and bowed apologetically.

"Sorry, SIR! Let\'s start training"

Du Chan came back to him with the rod in his hands, he smiled and threw him out of the cave.

"RUN THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN WHILE WEARING 50KGS OF WEIGHT" Du Chan shouted

"YES SIR"

Zho Rong stood up and ran near the cave. There were more than 5 bags in that place. Every bag had a number on it. Zho Rong picked up a 50kg bag, wore it and started running.

Du Chan sat on a rock in the lotus position and closed his eyes.

After 10mins, Zho Rong returned, drenched in sweat. The whole Mountain was more than 10 km…

"3 seconds late" Du Chan said without even opening his eyes.

Zho Rong, who was running out of breath, came in front of him and raised his right hand with palm. Du Chan picked up the rod and…

"Pal" he beat on his palm his whole hand shook but nothing happened to his bones because Du Chan only hit his muscles.

Zho Rong hid his hand back, he didn\'t make a single sound even though it hurt like hell. He bit his lower lip to restrain himself from making any sound. Then, he raised his left hand the same as before.

"Pal" another one.

Zho Rong hid both of his hands behind his back. He was at the edge of controlling his cry.

"FAST" Du Chan shouted.

Zho Rong looked at him with eyes filled with water but he didn\'t even open them. So he raised his right hand the same as before.

"Pal" with his throb, Zho Rong thought he lost his right hand but it was fine and started crying silently.

"10 minutes break then push-ups" Du Chan said.

"Y..E.S S..I..R" Even in pain like that he said that loudly. And went to a tree and sat there to take a rest.

After 10 minutes the training continued with push-ups, sit-ups etc. Du Chan made him do all of them very strictly. When he missed the count got beatings.

Training was completed in 2 hours and Zho Rong got 5 beatings today. Du Chan didn\'t even open his eyes nor move from that place.

Finally, he opened his eyes and saw that fatty was on the ground, filled with sweat and his face turned red.

"Now, now, fatty. Let\'s go back to the orphanage and take a bath" Du Chan said while smiling.

"Ahh. I\'m very tired right now so wait a little" Zho Rong said.

"Okay" Du Chan came down from the rock, entered the den, came back to fatty and slept beside him.

"Fatty, listen. This is all to help you" Du Chan said.

"Stop, you say that every time" fatty said.

"It\'s okay if you understand" he said.

"Hmm I can understand" Fatty said.

Du Chan smiled. After some time, both returned to the orphanage and directly entered the bathroom. After freshening up, they went to their rooms.

He jumped on his bed and tried to sleep but he heard someone knocking on his door. He went to open it.

"Don\'t dis- haa Auntie, what happened?" He was annoyed by knocking but it was Auntie so he asked.

"Nothing. It\'s just that someone came here and wants to see you. So come with me" Auntie said.

\'Who wants to meet me?\' He thought, but followed behind Auntie.

They reached the living room and a guy was sitting on a chair. Du Chan looked at him and wanted to check his realm but when he tried to do it, that guy looked back at him and smiled.

\'Holy...who is he\' he can\'t check his realm. That means he is stronger than him.

That guy stood up and said "Medical master told me to bring you this letter" after saying that he took out a letter and gave it to Du Chan.

"Hoo, so you\'re from the medical sect!" Auntie said with surprise. That guy smiled and sat down on the chair. Du Chan opened the letter.

"Hello Du Chan,

How are you doing? 6 years have passed so let\'s meet again today!"

"Huh? That\'s all?" Du Chan was surprised to see such a small letter.

"Okay then, Auntie. Sect master is calling me. I will visit him and come back" he said to auntie.

"Okay….be careful" auntie said.

He smiled and walked to that guy.

"Senior, let\'s go," he said.

That guy smiled and both of them came out of the orphanage and suddenly that fellow put his hand on Du Chan\'s shoulder.

"Wow I have never seen such control over qi" That guy was fully surprised. Du Chan just smiled.

They were already out of the village then that guy said.

"Hmm let\'s move faster, grab my hand" he raised his hand and Du Chan tightly grabbed it because he knew that the guy was much faster.

"Pooof" they travelled so fast and Du Chan could hear the sound of the wind. He couldn\'t even open his eyes.

After 10 minutes, they arrived in front of the medical sect. Du Chan was standing. He couldn\'t believe that he travelled 200 km in 10 minutes?

"That\'s not even called fast when you reach higher realms" that guy said.

Du Chan took a deep breath and entered the sect. He looked around the sect and there were no changes at all, it was the same as before. Both entered the garden and we can see a pond. Beside it was a table and the sect master was sitting on a chair and drinking something that was not tea! But something else. Seeing both of them arrive he stopped drinking.

"Haha, Du Chan! Come, come, have a seat…and you may leave now" the Sect master said.

"Then excuse me" he responded and vanished.

Du Chan came opposite the sect master and sat on a chair. Sect master took out another glass from his storage ring.

Storage rings were very rare. Only people like him could use them even if it was found by anyone lower than the Blood Conservation realm it no use for them. After taking out the glass, he poured that liquid and gave it to him.

"Drink. It\'s made of herbs…it is called herb wine" sect master said and lifted his glass and drilled it in one shot.

Du Chan did the same. He lifted his glass and drank it in one shot. He felt his shock by lighting. His whole body felt refreshed and his mind became calm. Nothing in his mind right now was troubling him as he was enjoying the sensation of the wine entering his body... a couple of minutes passed and he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Hehe nice reaction for the first time drinking of herb wine. If it was someone else, they wouldn\'t be able to open their eyes for at least a day" sect master said while drinking wine.

"This...I can feel that the qi in my body became thick" Du Chan said with surprise.

"That\'s the second benefit from drinking this wine" after saying that he poured wine into his glass. Du Chan drank it again in one shot. He again felt the same as before but his qi didn\'t change much.

"Thickness of Qi is not something you can gain easily" the sect master said.

"Hmm" Du Chan was silently enjoying the wine. After some time Du Chan stopped drinking.

"Hoo. Nice that you\'re able to drink 5 glasses" sect master said.

"Thanks, sir and what first benefit from drinking this wine" Du Chan asked.

"When you drink it you felt your mind is clam right?" Sect master asked.

"Yeah" he said

"That\'s the best benefit from drinking this wine, when your at the limit of the realm if you drink this wine it will help you" sect master said.

"Hoo" Du Chan was surprised.

"Hmm i thought you will reach the blood Conservation realm already," the sect master said with suspicion.

"That…because sometimes when I was almost at breakthrough I would stop cultivating….and sleep" Du Chan said while rubbing his head embarrassingly.

"Plal" the glass in sect master\'s hand broke. \'This kid...it is so hard to even have a breakthrough and he stopped cultivating and slept when he was at the edge of breakthrough? ...haa\' sect master thought and sighed.

"Okay...don\'t suppress your cultivation anymore"

"Huh? ...okay" Du Chan said.

"Du Chan I have a question for you… what do you think about sects?" Sect master asked.

"Hmm I don\'t know anything about sects" Du Chan said he only knew "medical sect" and "Yang Yin sect".

"Hmm I have a friend in the Extreme Martial Sect. It is one of the top Sects in the whole Sky Dragon continent, he is one of the most powerful Elders in it, and he is coming here today" Sect master said.

Du Chan was quiet, he didn\'t have anything to say.

"I-I told him about you...so he said he will meet you. Oh and he is more powerful than me"

"Hmm okay…." Before Du Chan finished his sentence the air around them got hot…

"Looks like he came" the sect master said and looked at the sky and Du Chan looked too. He saw a small bird but its size increased every second. When that bird reached down, Du Chan was shocked that it was very big and it looked like an eagle.

Someone leaped from the top of it.

He looked like a middle-aged man with a handsome face. He looked at the sect master and said with a smile on his face.

"Yoo Brother Lan how are you?"
