Months later....within the world of fire sat Xiao, torrents of high temperature fire surrounded him as he sat cross legged in the ground, all around him was the color red, from the sky to the ground was red, the temperature in the surroundings was boiling, any mortal man would die if he stayed within this same area for a few hours
At certain intervals a high temperature wind would blast by but sitting in the middle of all of this Xiao was eerily calm, not a hint of pain or sweat could be seen on his face, a red flame similar in color to the world he was in floated beside Xiao
And just as if children finding their parents the elemental fire in the surroundings ran towards the flame, where it was transferred to Xiao's body, right now do to his low cultivation he's unable to access the flame Qi but hints of red color surrounded his body making him more eyes catching
From the past year Xiao has already turned 11 years old, no major changes had taken place, his figure grew a bit taller, his face too seemed to grow a bit more pronounced, his white and black hair grew in lenght as it was tied to a pony tail
The aura of [Connection] stayed passively active as it gave others a good impression of him, overall he looked like a doll that one would want to keep for themselves, his looks only seemed to be more defined and attractive as the time goes by, this was mainly because of the cultivation technique that Xiao practice
The grade of the cultivation was unknown to him but the cultivation technique Omega Asura's wrath, it not only gives him power but it also passively removes all impurities and imperfection making it's user 'prefect', the 11 flames of beginning would make sure that it's user would be extraordinary in all the way possible
Of course cultivating improves one's look but the Omega Asura's Wrath would slowly make the person to look at his absolute perfect form, not only that it would give of the feeling of a ruler, as the person who practice's it reaches higher levels, Xiao doesn't know it yet but he would find it out in the future
To others it might be a blessing but to Xiao who doesn't care about his looks, it's just a hassle, right now wherever he goes he would cause everybody to turn their heads towards him, even rumors had spread about his looks, earning him the title of the 'cutest doll', not something which Xiao wanted to be associated with
He also had do deal with the shinning eye of several younger girls that looked at him but for some reason his good looks only seemed to make the three girls that hang around with him wary, talking about them it would seem that he had created a good relationship with Li Lun, he could see that she has a small crush on him
Well it became quite apparent now as she smiles and blushes whenever he looks at her, moreover it's hard to avoid it when she always giggles and smiles when the talk of engagement shows up, shaking his head Xiao stopped his cultivation, as the red flame that was floating above his flashed and entered his body
Xiao sighed out letting out hot stream from his mouth, his eyes opened as he stood up from the ground, he looked at his hand as he clenched and unclenched them
"It looks like I would need to venture out soon..."
Xiao mumbled to himself, While having a powerful cultivating technique is good and all, having the resource to cultivate is another issue, the amount of resources needed for his technique is mind blowing, if it wasn't for his knowledge about the future, then Xiao would have definitely abandoned it
"Small sacrifices for the greater power I guess....."
Xiao could only console himself , this is also one of the major reason that many hasn't risen above the truly powerful, so what if you have a powerful technique?, what's the use if you don't have the resources to use it?, most of the powerful resources are controlled by the truly powerful after all
Lamenting to himself, Xiao exited his training room, with light steps he walked to his room but as he reached it he was met with an anxious servant waiting outside, seeing him the servants face scrunched up, hesitation filled his face but in the end he seemed to have made his decision as he walked up to Xiao and bowed
"Young master!, there's terrible news!"
Xiao asked calmly as he looked at the fearful servant, hearing Xiao's question the servant took a few gulps before he spoke
"It's the young mistress L-Li Lun!, something terrible has happened to her during her awakening!"
After he finished speaking the servant closed his eyes awaiting Xiao's outburst, it was know across everywhere that Xiao's normally the calm and silent type, he doesn't distinguish between anybody nor does he go out his way to hurt anybody
But there's a single thing that many agree on, it's to never mess with anybody Xiao loves!, about a month ago someone from a distant family visited and among them a boy accidentally met Xuanyin, some kind of friction caused between them causing the 12 year old boy to use his cultivation and hit her, causing some serious injuries to her
At that time the first one was to arrive was Xiao, it was only a few minutes later did the others arrive and when they did, they were met with an horrible sight, it was the sight of the boy being dangled upside down with his dress while he was completely naked
That was not all, all the finger nails in his hand and legs were ripped of, while sword marks and gashes filled his body, blood had died the kids body, even then he was still being tortured by Xiao, it was a sight that many would not forget and it was the day that some learned the ruthlessness of a 11 year old boy....
It was suffice to say that Xiao was punished but from then on, no one would dare to slight anyone that Xiao cares about and many knew that Li Lun was Xiao's fiancée and it was no hidden fact that he was in favor of her, so the servant waited, waited for Xiao's outburst but after a few seconds nothing happened causing him to look at Xiao, meeting his calm eyes
Xiao asked the servant
"I see, then you may leave"
Saying so the servant hurried off with a confused face, seeing the servant leave, Xiao with a calm face started to move away from his room as he walked to the family meeting room, just as he had reached closer he could hear the enraged vice of his mother
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU WON'T CANCEL THE ENGAEMMENT?"
Hearing his mothers shout Xiao sighed again
"Sigh.....why are things so hard?..."
