Chapter 30 - 30: Flames of the King

Author's Note: Sorry for not updating yesterday and a little late today. I was up for an entire two days trying to finish my modules, especially Science, Math and Filipino. Damn you modules!! Glad I finished them. I was only able to write and finish this between every break, meal and bathroom time I got. And I gotta say, I'm tired. Dead tired. I haven't re-read this so expect some mistakes. I'll answer your questions in Monday, cause for now? I'll sleep.

==============================================================================================================

Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies hit the ground hard. They felt like their bones being rattled and cracked.

"Ow, hey Zhu Zhuqing you alright?" Xiao Yan asked as he g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain.

"Yeah..." Zhu Zhuqing replied with the same feeling as him while slowly getting up to a sitting position.

Xiao Yan lowered his Heavy Xuan Ruler and slowly sit up straight besides Zhu Zhuqing. He turned his head and cursed as he saw that Zhao Wuji had almost to no scratch, much less an injury, on his body.

'Shit, spirit sage spirit masters are just too OP for me and the others to take on right now. Thank god that this is just an exam and not a fight to the death or we would have died within a minute.' Xiao Yan scratched his head hard as a frustrated expression was set on his face.

'I have to get stronger...'

Shaking his head around and put the thought on the back of his head. He turned to looked at the burning stick of incense and felt some relief washing down his body.

'Looks like we're going to get enrolled. Knowing those two, Tang San and Xiao Wu, teacher Zhao would have a pretty hard time trying to get them. This would have already been over if teacher Zhao didn't blasted us away moments ago.'

'I was so close into throwing these Red Hot Pepper Chilli Pellets at his face!' Xiao Yan let out a long sigh.

'Ah forget it. Me, Zhu Zhuqing and Xun Er are just going sit back and recuperate while–' Xiao Yan's eyes wandered around only to stop and widened in shock, his heart stopped and body trembling.

He stared at the broken body of Xun Er, blood dripping down from her mouth, her face looking in pain, pale and weak.

'No...' Suddenly, Xiao Yan opened and closed his trembling mouth as he stared at the broken body of Xun Er.

Memories started to appear in his mind. Memories, that he certainly did not remember having.

Her eyes was only half-opened, showing two dark golden eyes that held only gentleness and love.

The woman was beautiful, more beautiful than any woman that Xiao Yan had ever seen in his two lives but he didn't feel any l.u.s.t nor any d.e.s.i.r.e to rip apart her clothes.

No. What he felt, was great anger and pain.

Anger not at the woman but for those who made her like this.

Pain that he saw her like that, broken and possibly dead.

'No...' Xiao Yan's black colored eyes started fluctuate between green and black. His left hand balled into a tight fist, so tight that his fingernails had dug into his palm, causing blood to start dripping out.

While his other tightly gripped the handle of his spirit, however, strange green lines started to appear on the surface of the handle where his hand gripped and was starting to spread throughout the entire Heavy Xuan Ruler.

Suddenly the woman opened her mouth to speak, blood dripped down lips, causing Xiao Yan to panic for a moment, unfortunately, he could only mildly understand what she was saying.

'Xia* ***gege *** ** *i** al*** *ov* you...' She let a small bloodied, yet, enchanting smile towards him before the image disappeared.

"Wait!"

Xiao Yan widened his eyes and raised his left arm, panic and confusion seen on his face, causing Zhu Zhuqing to look at him in confusion before looking away to watch at Zhao Wuji and the rest.

Suddenly, a deep and scratching voice sounded inside of Xiao Yan's head.

"I̯ ̶͔̞͔͠͞p̧͉͉̦͏r̶̴̜̘̻͝o̶̡̺̠̦̦m̸̷̷̛̳͍ị͏s̗͍̕҉e̷͏͢ḏ̴̢̛̥̪͞ ̴̦̥̭́҉y̝̳͉͔͏͜͡o̵̷̶͡u̷̢͍̩͜͟..." The voice, it sounded cold, indifferent and detached, like it was aloof to everything of all creations. However, Xiao Yan could somehow tell that he, yes the voice inside of his head is a male, he could tell because he was speaking in his head which is still freaking him out!

Ahem, anyways, Xiao Yan could tell that it held warmth, gentleness, kindness and love. Just as he was about to open his mouth and say something.

His mind suddenly started tearing itself up.

'AHHHH!' Xiao Yan almost let out a scream, but held it back by biting his lip, he held his head as he frowned.

The voice in his head held some sort of weight, as Xiao Yan felt like his head was being pounded by a hammer!

'Who are you?!' Xiao Yan cried out inwardly. Panic and wariness in his eyes.

"T̸̟͚͕̭̱ͣ͞͏̴̕͜ḩ̷̮͉̻̘͌̅͟͜͜ã̬̂́t̶̛̛̘̪͇̳̺͜͠ͅ ̡̮̖͙̯̗̰ͫ̄́̇I̻̣͙ ̫̼̖̕͟w̶̡̧͎̬̟͘͟͡íͮͭ̊ͪl̵̸͕͍ͦͨ̒ͭ͑̊ĺ..." However, the voice ignored him and continued to speak. His head continued being split apart!

"P̢̡̞̀͡͏r̷̻̬̗o͖̹͙͔̭͠͝t̹̪͙͝e̝̟̼̞͟͞͠c̸̀͝ţ̴͓̣̞͠ ̷̧̢̡̀y̼o̗̖ͅù̸̗̫̪̱͘͝..." The voice in Xiao Yan's head seemed to intensify with it's pressure. He momentarily let go of his spirit, recalling back in his body, causing it to turn into mots of green light.

'AAGGHHH! WHO ARE YOU!?!' Just as Xiao Yan was about to open his mouth and gain the attention of everyone around him, the pain in his head suddenly vanished.

'Huh?' Xiao Yan blinked his eyes and gasped, slightly panting out of breath.

'What was that?' Just as he felt relieved, the voice came back. Only this time, it carried no pain nor weight of agony. No, it gave some kind of warm yet powerful pulse, that his heart seemed to strangely resonate along wit it.

"In the last, the present, and the next..." Xiao Yan gasped as he felt something inside of him explode, no, it was more like something... broke? Like...

'A chain...?' Xiao Yan thought.

Suddenly, a mysterious strange knowledge surged inside his head. An information of a power that was sealed inside of him ever since he was born.

Warm yet raging energy filled Xiao Yan's body. The heavenly flame inside of him started to go crazy and rushed all around his body.

He felt bloated but didn't feel uncomfortable. Although he felt like the inside of his body was feeling more hot than usual, he felt fine.

'What was that?! Hm? What is... Xiao family blood–!? Wait, is this?!' But before Xiao Yan could question the sudden power that was unlocked inside of him, the voice inside his head started to speak.

Only this time, the voice spoke with clear emotion and it wasn't the warmth, gentleness, kindness and love that Xiao Yan was expecting. No. It was something that caused him to flinched.

Pure. Bloodthirsty. Rage.

A memory of a different time, place and reality. A memory that was sealed inside his soul. A memory of a simple conversation. And a promise.

Everyone would consider this memory garbage, but to Xiao Yan? It was a treasure beyond everything that he had ever held.

.....

"You'll protect me?"

"Hm! **** ***gege, I'm now strong after all!"

*Flick!*

"Ow! **** ***gege, why did you do that?!"

"Idiot girl. You protecting me? That's supposed to be my job!"

"Eh?! B-But **** ***gege!"

"I promised you didn't I?"

"..."

"I would protect you. Even if I'm trash, I'll do everything in my power to protect you."

"Ge...*sniff* *sniff*"

"Ahh! *** ** why is it?! Did I say something wrong? Do something stupid? Or–!?"

"*Shaking her head* No, it's just, I'm happy. Super ubber happy!"

"Well okay then..."

They were walking side by side as the sun was setting down. The two youths disappeared just as the sun was replaced by the shining cold moon lighting everything up until nothing.

....

'I, remembered...' Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, green lightning seemed to flashed for a moment, his head turned towards Xun Er and turned towards Zhao Wuji and the rest.

He watched as Tang San and Xiao Wu prepared themselves to withstand the incoming Zhao Wuji.

Not if he stepped in himself.

Xiao Yan controlled the heavenly flame within himself to materialize into something to stop Zhao Wuji.

Not a moment passed that a blazing green flaming wall appeared that stretched and surround Tang San, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

"What?!"

Immediately everyone's gazes turned towards Xiao Yan with surprise.

But Xiao Yan's eyes were towards Zhao Wuji, burning in intense anger, before swallowing it inside himself as he turned towards Xun Er's figure.

With a single step, he vanished.

Causing everyone to be shocked for a moment before they turned towards where Xun Er is, and quickly, they saw Xiao Yan crouched down.

'T-That wasn't the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track! What kind of movement was that?!' Tang San thought in shock and surprise. The way Xiao Yan had moved had completely blown him away with shock.

As someone who was an expert in the use of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San was certain of what he witnessed of Xiao Yan's movement was not the movement technique he was familiar with.

Yes. This wasn't the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track that Xiao Yan had used, but another technique that used the former movement technique as a foundation to create the one that he used.

Instant Movement Technique also known as Shundō. A movement technique from the UQ Holder franchise that Xiao Yan had watched and read in his previous life.

This technique is used by concentrating ki into the feet to get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps. The user must hold to the ground with the inside of their feet or they will simply trip.

Xiao Yan had tried this numerous times, thinking that it was pretty easy, only to end up failing for a couple of years until he met Tang San and gained the Tang Sect Techniques.

Using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track as foundation and the inner Qi from the Mysterious Heaven Skill to substitute as the ki, he found out that spirit power wasn't able to properly substitute as ki, to put into his feet.

He only just finished creating this technique a couple months ago and gained expert use of the technique just a couple days ago.

Xiao Yan wanted to saved this as a surprise against Zhao Wuji but his mind was elsewhere at the moment.

Slowly and caringly, he cradled her broken body with his arms. Xun Er looked pale and red on the face, she opened her mouth to speak but Xiao Yan silence her mouth with a pill to the mouth.

Patting her silky long black hair, Xiao Yan moved his head to her ear and with a gentle tone of voice, said.

"Don't worry. I'll end this now. So just wait for me okay?" Then Xiao Yan pulled back his head and showed a soft and gentle smile at Xun Er.

Looking up at Xiao Yan, Xun Er couldn't help but feel that same nostalgic feeling swelling deep inside her c.h.e.s.t.

Shaking her head, Xun Er returned the smile and said.

"Hm, Xun Er will wait."

Xiao Yan smiled and in that same burst of speed, he arrived at the area where he and Zhu Zhuqing had landed.

He slowly dropped Xun Er in a situation position by Zhu Zhuqing and flashing them a smile and with a snapped of his fingers, he created a small dome of green flames around the two. Nodding, he 'vanished'.

He reappeared once more at the now silent and serious looking Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji stared at the boy who suddenly appeared, more like he teleported, in front of him. He opened his mouth to speak but Xiao Yan cut him off.

"Let's end this." Xiao Yan raised his Heavy Xuan Ruler c.h.e.s.t length horizontally. His left hand was touching on the guard of the dull huge blade.

He closed his eyes as he remembered the feeling, the great rush of brimming power, deep inside of him.

He searched for it and then, suddenly, the whole blade lit up in green.

The surrounding temperature rose and instantly the grass around 5 meters spherically around Xiao Yan had immediately turned to ashes and the ground quickly becoming dry.

Slowly, he moved his left hand from the guard towards the tip, energy inside of him started to act as the green light glowed even brighter and the heat coming out of Xiao Yan increased to the point that the ground around him turned to magma.

Everyone's eyes was on Xiao Yan. Shock and disbelief filled their eyes as their heart questioned how was he doing this.

'When did Xiao Yan/gege able to do this?' Tang San, Xiao Wu and Xun Er thought. As even they haven't saw Xiao Yan doing something like that before.

Suddenly, when his hand reached the tip of the Heavy Xuan Ruler, his hair shadowed his eyes, he opened his mouth and said out loud, with a blank emotionless voice. It caused everyone that heard him to suddenly feel like their body was set on on fire, even Zhao Wuji!

'In this life, and the other, I will protect you. Even if it means turning the whole world against me...' Xiao Yan's eyes glowed.

"You know, normally I would be much calmer and indifferent to everything while fighting but," Emerald flames swirled and erupted all around me.

"My anger right now, could equal to that of the heavens."

Xiao Yan raised his sword, poised to point towards Zhao Wuji, Green Lotus Core Flame covered his entire sword and arm. Cracks of green light appearing on the blade of the sword and on his arm as well.

"This sword, the Heavenly Perpetual Flame Sword, will be you're judgement."

Suddenly, everyone saw a green sun. No. It WAS A SUN!

Xiao Yan's entire figure had been engulfed into a green ball made out of his heavenly flame.

The temperature of the area rose, to the point that everyone beneath a spirit king couldn't handle the heat.

Dai Mubai, despite in his beast spirit transformation, could no longer handle it and quickly jumped away to a safe area.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Xun Er, however, remained. Even though they could feel blazing heat coming out of Xiao Yan, they also didn't feel any sort of burning effect affecting them. Instead, they only feel warm.

'Is it because of these flames?' They thought in confusion as they observed the flames surrounding them before turning towards where Xiao Yan is.

Despite being covered by green flames, they could still clearly see the outside world.

The green sun continued giving off it's intense heat for a couple of moments before it suddenly went up high in the air and disappeared.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Xiao Yan, with a completely different look, stood in a crater filled with green magma surrounding him, swarm with green tidal flame waves. His entire upper clothes disappeared with only his black trousers remained.

His smooth skin turned into blackish-red scales that covered his entire two arms, his back, the two sides of his torso and the sides of his face.

His once perfect human teeth turned jagged and sharp, his eyes now an emerald color with his pupils becoming slits.

His entire aura and demeanor was that of absolute confidence and pride. He was like a prince, no, a warrior king that should be given respect and fear.

Everyone was shocked at this transformation of his. But what really grabbed their attention was his spirit. The once bulky and dull blade had completely turned into the blade that Tang San, Xiao Wu and Xun Er remembered. But it too took a sudden new change.

The length of the blade became longer, however, the entire blade had cracks and it's edge became jagged. To any normal person, they would say it was a broken blade.

But to spirit masters? It was a weapon unlike any other.

"So-So much power, heat and rage..." Xiao Wu gasped as tears started to formed in her eyes. Xiao Yan-gege, her older(in physical appearance) sworn brother, looked like the devil.

Everyone nodded in agreement as they all have grim and gloomy expressions. Xun Er was balling her fists as she watched Xiao Yan's transformed body.

Especially his eyes. She, Xiao Wu and Tang San could tell, they changed.

'Yan...'

"You... Kid, tell me." Zhao Wuji's entire face went through a variety of emotions until it settled into a somber and serious expression. His entire body shifted into a battle stance, completely taking Xiao Yan in front of him seriously.

"That form. That intense heat and rage coming out of your body. Are you truly affiliated with–" But before Zhao Wuji could finished, Xiao Yan, raised his right hand that held his spirit, the newly named Ryūjin Jakka, vertically high in the air.

Without saying anything, he casually swiped the sword downwards, just stopping inches away from the ground.

However, in that moment that Xiao Yan stopped the descent of his sword, everything and everyone turned silent.

As they watched the green heavenly flame surrounding his entire body instantly vanished. All the heat around them quickly returned to it's original temperature.

However, the wall and domes of green flames surrounding Xiao Yan's teammates, remained.

They all sent Xiao Yan with a confused and questioning look.

But Xiao Yan ignored them. He stared his bright emerald eyes at Zhao Wuji, who now activated his spirit beast transformation and showed his spirit rings, and opened his mouth.

"Hey, old man!"

Zhao Wuji stared with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Yan rose his head high up and grinned arrogantly.

"Don't die..."

Suddenly, a crimson golden ring appeared behind his back, that immediately shocked everyone silly, including Zhao Wuji, before Xiao Yan disappeared.

Zhao Wuji widened his eyes, his instincts hone from the hundreds of battles he had went through most of his life, screamed at him like banshee.

Quickly crossing his arms, his first spirit ring lit up, in time too, as a great force, equal to that of a spirit sage, hacked down on both his arms.

*BANG!* Steel met flesh.

Zhao Wuji's body slowly slid back, just a couple of inches back, with his feet dragged along the ground. He g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

"Oof! Well damn, you packed a really good punch there kid." His eyes met Xiao Yan's narrowed eyes, who's blade was on the two arms of Zhao Wuji.

He could tell that it took a lot of energy and control of Xiao Yan to deal that great amount of power on him. Glancing at the trembling green jagged blade that was on his two arms, which didn't dug through his flesh and had only hit the golden light that was protecting his body. However, Zhao Wuji could tell that in that one attack of Xiao Yan, it had almost broken through.

This greatly shocked him. As it was commonly known that, the higher spirit rank you are, the more enhanced your body and spirit power is.

And not only that, but with the further enhancement of his Vigorous Vajra Bear, use of spirit power and spirit ability, he was certain that only a peak spirit sage could make him take a step back.

But to think, Xiao Yan, who's just a spirit grandmaster, not only made him moved back but also caused him to feel a moment of fear.

After all...

'AND WHAT THE F.U.C.K IS THAT?!' Zhao Wuji loudly cursed inwardly at the red golden ring behind Xiao Yan's back.

'Is that truly a hundred thousand year old spirit ring?! Shit. How the f.u.c.k did he get that sort of thing?!' After all, it isn't any normal day he would get to see a red spirit ring from a 12 year old kid.

However, Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed.

'Hold on. Why, am I not feeling a lot of great spirit power coming out of that ring? Is, is it really not a–' But before Zhao Wuji could continue in his thoughts, Xiao Yan, had finally made a move.

Two purple spirit rings rose up from underneath, however, they weren't normal purple spirit rings as they had red and gold markings.

Xiao Yan jumped back several meters away and stared at Zhao Wuji with a neutral expression.

'Huh?'

Zhao Wuji blinked and frowned his face. He stared at Xiao Yan with a curious and suspicious look. He slowly lowered his arms and put his guard up.

*Puchi!*

"Ack!" Zhao Wuji vomited blood!

"H-How...?!" He said in confusion before widening his eyes in shock and disbelief as he stared at where 'Xiao Yan' is.

'Xiao Yans' body slowly disintegrated into ashes.

Suddenly, as if the world around him had broke, the situation in front of him changed.

Everything remained the same except the part that he skidded back! He could feel the ground beneath him untouched and not dug through.

He looked down to see, though his c.h.e.s.t, was a long blade with a green edge. It dripped and dropped red liquid, his blood. It was releasing a powerful heat wave inside his body, causing him to feel tremendous amount of pain before gritting his teeth and use his spirit power.

He could feel the heat subsided, but the pain in his c.h.e.s.t reminded him that the steel weapon was still poking through him.

He sharply turned around with bloodshot angry eyes and promised himself that he would beat the kid that only made him lose face, but to also injure him to this extent.

But, he was shocked once more to find out there was no one there.

"What?!" Zhao Wuji yelled.

He looked around in every direction to try and find out where Xiao Yan had went and immediately, he found him.

He at the location where he transformed. Standing tall with a neutral expression and confident posture. Acting like he didn't care about anything at all. Even if the whole world would be set ablaze.

But Zhao Wuji didn't care about that. His pair of eyes wandered to Xiao Yan's spirit to try and find out what why was there a blade in his c.h.e.s.t.

He quickly found out, as there, in Xiao Yan's right hand, was only his spirit's handle. Green petals danced around the handle of his spirit.

The last Zhao Wuji saw, was a flurry of green flaming petals and a whole lot of red powder. The blade in his c.h.e.s.t also broke down into lotus petals.

The burning stick of incense burned it's remaining piece of the stick.

And soon after, Xiao Yan fainted.

"XIAO YAN!?" Everyone cried out in great worry, concern and fear, except Zhao Wuji.

"MY EEEYYYEEES!!!"

[First Bloodline Spirit Ring Ability: Wrath of the King]: Xiao Yan's emotions related to his anger would boost his overall power and energy for a limited time. Has a side effect of making the user weak and experience a lot of pain for a whole month or maybe even more depending in how much power boost he gets.

[Self Made Spiritual Power Ability: Mind Over Reality]: An illusion spiritual power based ability that manipulates all five senses of someone that is either close or lower than in spiritual power than Xiao Yan. Due to being boosted by bloodline, it had, temporarily, reached the necessary tier to able to cast such ability on Zhao Wuji subtly.

[Second Spirit Ring Ability: Thousand Lotus Petals]: Xiao Yan gained this spirit ring after hunting down a 9,000 year old Multiple Petals Lotus, a plant types spirit beast capable of separating itself into a thousand and more depending on it's age. It was due to it's ability to separate was how it gained it's name. And Xiao Yan was lucky to get the same ability it was famous for. His sword, or more specifically, his blade, would separate into tiny little green lotus flames that would be as sharp, durable and hot as when he normally uses his sword. He can freely manipulate the petals around him within 10 meter range. The petals could also turned back into the blade part of the sword.
