Upon entering the room I could see beibei on his bed I wanted to introduce myself but he seemed to be Meditating so I chose not to bother him instead I threw the few bags I had

left with me onto my bed across the room I grabbed my school uniform and soon walked in the shower soon after I walked out of the bath in my school uniform and fell into a deep thought of what to do next.

Soon I decided to walk towards the main office to see which class I would end up since I wasn't informed after walking for a few

minutes I reached a large building in the center of Shrek It was afternoon so there

wasn't many students out most where already in their dorms soon I enter and see an old lady around in her late fiftys in the front

desk I approached her and asked if she could inform me about which class I would be

attending since I was new she just gave a quick glance before redirecting it towards here screen soon she asked for my name I

soon spoke and said it was Li Xi'an soon typing could be heard she looks at me and speaks starting tomorow you will be put in teacher Zhou Yi's classroom after hearing that I began walking away I was quite glad since yuhao and the rest were in his class.

After a while xian began returning towards his dorm after walking for a while he reached it entering his room he was confronted by beibei who seemed to be done with

his meditation upon walking in he confronted me and reached out his hand for a handshake and spoke "you must be my new roomate im Beibei but since Im older and your senior to you can call me brother bei" I soon reached

out my hand as well and shaked his and spoke while bowing just a little "hello brother bei my name is Li Xi'an but you can just call me Xian" soon after our handshake I begin

walking towards my bed and hop on and put myself in a lotus position while brother bei returns to his while staring at me with curuios eyes soon he asks me "by the way I forgot to ask but what is your spirit if you don't mind

me asking" soon I open my eyes after hearing his question and begin to debate Which of my two spirit souls to show him I could've shown him both but i felt it was better to keep a few cards up my sleeve incase anything ever

happened I chose to show him my first I look at him and spoke "not at all brother bei my

spirit soul is a Sword Spirit a power attack" after hearing what Xi'an had said bei became more curious as he had never seen a sword

spirit he only heard of them being rare he soon asks "do you mind showing me it I'm quite curious as how it looks as I've never seen one" li xian just nods and begins summoning it soon a light engulfs the room

and a sword appears bei is quite shocked at the sword spirit the appeared before him although he didn't know much of sword spirits he knew enough to know that this was a unique sword or rather a mutated one the

sword was a raven black with a red handle but what really shocked him was the aura the sword was giving off it was as if death was standing right in front of him.

Soon after summoning it beibeis expression became more serious but their was a hint fear in his eyes which xian could understand why after all the aura the sword was realising was indeed terrifying l bei couldnt help but think

who is this child was and what is his background this just increased the mysterious aura that surrounded li Xi'an soon after a few moments Xi'an could feel the

tension in the room so he decided to change the topic after talking for a few more hours they both had gotten closer or at the very least became friends after a long chat they

both decided to go to sleep. Upon waking up li Xi'an hoped in the shower and dressed and began walking towards his new class while

parting ways with brother bei along the way after walking for a few minutes I arrived I entered my class room upn entering I gaze

around the class to find a seat as I was gazing around the room for a seat I could see many damsels beginning to blush crimson red as I set my eyes on them soon I found the perfect seat in the back next to a blue haired

boy with matching blue eyes yes it was yuhao I approached him and asked if could sit down in the seat behind him yuhao was quite shocked since he remember me from

yesterday he immediately replied"Of course brother xian could sit" soon we both begin chatting to ourselves it was quite amusing all well as i could tell the more friendlier yuhao

and i got the more fierce gazes wang dong sent my way which was truly entertaining as i could only laugh thinking how cute wang dong was when she was angry or jealous if

only yuhao knew her true gender soon the teacher stepped into classroom nothing really happened everything went according to the manga teacher zhou taught us for a few hours before taking us to the arena to train most of

us were just tasked to run a few were training. As for I was just standing although I was the youngest in our class I was by far the most superior only few people in our class could be my rivals such as Wang dong but soon the day came to and end.

It has been a few days since I started attending Shrek right now I'm standing in

front of dorm debating on two different things within my mind and it's to either to attend class or skip and instead go and train behind Shrek academy within the forest

although I don't do much in class I enjoy being with yuhao and the gang over the past few days I have grown quite close with Wang

dong and yuhao you could say we are sworn brothers but on the other hand I have just reached level19 spirirt master only a few days ago and I only need one level before

becoming a spirit grandmster and I need to train myself before reaching the next level I need my foundation to be strong and sturdy I

just can't risk to rush to the next level without letting my body adapt because once I reach a higher level my foundation won't be be able to hold and it will just shatter but the thing was to stabilize my foundation and strengthen it would take months training it was not a

problem for xian but missing that much class time li xian could only imagine what teacher zhou yi would do

Soon after pondering for a while he decided he was gonna attwnd school instead but he was actually going for yuhao as he bad

remebred how yuhao was interested in his techniques and was gonna ask him if he wanted to train with him for a few day maybe tech him a few things after arriving in class I

see yuhao atting down walk up to him and take my sut behind him "Hey yuhao I was gonna go and train for a few days out in the

first outside of shrek you intrsted in coming ibcpupd even te ah you a few things while I'm at it" xian speaks yuhao hearing this agrees immediately "Of course brother xian"

"Good choice meet me in the arena once school ends" says xian while returning to his own sit after a few hours school ended and

just like they had agreed both yuhao and xian were now standing in the arenas getting to take off when sudden a voice is heard behind them'Where do you guys think your doing

leaving" wnag dong speaks sparing behind us I turned around and grabed yuhao " Haha dont worry wang dong were just going to train for a bit be back in a few days", xian says while taking off into the distance with yuhao in his shoulder leaving wang dong their alone fuming with anger.

After xian and yuhao arrived in the forest they both began training xian had wrapped over

fifty tons of weight around yuhaos back and made him run around the forest for hours hoping to increase the strength of his physical body while xian began training with the sword since he only had the basics down but after a few days of training xian had barely

gotten anywhere but yuhao on the other hand was definitely showing progress his body which was very small and frail before was now more shredded and ripped yuhao seeing the results of his hard work boosted his

confidence and only made him want to continue training eventually both lost track of time a few days turned into weeks then into

months over the past few months xian understating of the sword had increased back when he began trading he only had the basics down but now with a stronger understanding of the sword he stood in the center swinging

his sword each swing was light and fast like wind blowing in a field yet each slash held a heavy and steady force capable of destroying anything in its path while his footwork was

gentle like a current, intangible but fast and unpredictable this was the level li Xi'an had reached after training nonstop for the past 3 months although he had reached a new level of comprehension with the sword he knew he was very weak compared to a true

swordsmen and yuhao on the other hand was now a few inches taller his small body was now a lot bigger and although slim he had a

very shredded body and was now lot stronger physicaly besides this xian had also taught him taekwondo and karate since yuhao preferd to use his fists then a weapon and although he didn't master them he was still very talented he was able to understand the

basics of both fighting styles and createed his own style of fighting that best suited him which was a fusion of the two and even xian

had to praise yuhaos talent not just anybody could do what he done in just three months xian was standing on top of a tree next yuhao as the sun began descending both were enjoying the great view but soon the silence was ended

by yuhao "by the way brother xian if I remember your spirit was a sword spirit but although you are always training with the sword you never use your spirit instead you always create a sword of ice or water why is

that can you not use your spirit"yuhao asks with a curious tone xian turns around and looks at him for a brief moment "Its not that I can't use it but rather it's that I choose not to

unless I want to become an empty veesel without emotions" xian speaks while he begins materializing his sword spirit yuhao who was trying to figure out what exactly

xians words meant but suddenly he feels a terrifying aura that sents chills down his spine he looks up and sees a raven black sword with a red handle and a red stripe going down the center but before he could ask xian

anything he hears an intense laughing within his head he decides to enter his once he does he hears someone laughing like crazy he looks up and sees it was the dark orb the

entered his soul while he was absorbing the daydream wormbut the yuhaos thoughts are interupted yet again by the same laugh

"HAHAHAH only some like this is worthy of becoming my successor that boys affinity to death and darkness is out of this world' yuhao and tiang meng(Ice Silk Worm) haring his wordswere shocked since they didn't know

much about yi lai(necromancer) all they knew at the moment about him was that he entered yuhaos spiritual sea in soul fragment when yuhao was absorbing his first spirit ring but now out of nowhere here he was laughing like

a maniac within yuhaos why wouldnt they be shocked while they were trying to figure out

why he was laughing they were interupted by yi lai who began speaking "Boy you must

introduce me to that friend of yours" yuhao now shocked as to what a powerful entity such as yi lai wanted to do with one oh his

best friends after a few seconds he decides to talk " I dont mind introducing you but first you must tell me why you want to meet him and also why brother xian can't use his sword spirit since I can't tell anything wrong with it besides that dead aura which surrounds the sword" yuhao speaks with a curious tone upon hearing yuhaos words yi lai begins

laughing again 'If you had a stronger affinity towards death you would've understood why that friend of yours can't wield his own spirit his sword spirit is a double edge sword it's a blessing or a curse depending on who's

wielding it some could even say that his sword is something that should not exist in this world" after seeing the shock on their faces yi lai continues "Unlike other spirit

masters your friend their doesn't need to attain spirit rings to get stronger"yuhao now couldn't contain his shock stumbles back a few steps before he begins speaking

"Im..Impossible everyone must continue to absorb spirit rings for their spirits to evolve and get stronger how can someone's spirit get stronger without absorbing spirit rings" yi lai just lets out a chuckle after hearing yuhaos word "What you say is true but their can

always be exceptions even if it's a first even I myself am not able to see through that swords origins" "How does his spirit get stronger without a spirit ring asks" tian meng yi lai looks at both them befor speaking "Its

actually very simple the more he kills the stronger his spirit becomes but like i said it's a double edged sword that sword spirit is

corrupting your friends mind even as we speak the more he kills the stronger it becomes and the stronger it gets the stronger its corruption gets" yuhao now hearing yi lais words becomes panicked after

all he considered xian as his own brother "Is their anything that I could to prevent that sword from continuing to corrupt him any further" Yi lai just gives yuhao a look of pity "That sword is death itself it's not something that can just be purified just like that their isn't anything that I know of that could help out

your friend it's all up to him weather he has a strong enough will to withstand the corruption" Yuhao hearing theirs nothing he could do just let's out a deep sigh "What will

happen if he can't control the corruption what will happen to brother xian" yuhao asks "If he can't withstand the corruption the sword spirit will devour his emotions turning him into a bloodthirsty killing machine although I can't

stop the sword from corrupting him I could at least suppress it for a the time being yuhao hearing this is quiet happen although he can't stop it he could at least prevent it for now yuhao hearing yi lais words now understood what xians words mesnt after talking for a

while longer he returned to back to reality and just said "I see" and didn't say anything else as even if he had I would've made no difference the temperature in the air began

dropping until a voice which appears out of know were "YOUB IDIOTS IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU GUYS FOR WEEKS WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU SAID YOU WOULD'VE ONLY BEEN GONE FOR A FEW

DAYS ITS BEEN THREE DAM MONTHS"wang dong says while yelling out we both turn around and jump off the tree and land next him "Sorry wang dong we were just so caught up with training"yuhao says while trying to

apologize "Hmph you think I want to hear your excuses" wang dong replies while getting angrier xian then walks up to him and begins caressing wang dongs hair while

speaking "uh dont be angry wang dong it's only been three months no need to make such a big fuss"xian says while head patting him but suddenly begins laughing "why are you lauging"wnag dong asks " a few months

ago you wobble already slpped off my hand but it seem tou missed mi head pats"xian speaks while laughing out loud "Hmph when did I say I missed you guys" wang dong

replies slapping my hand off his head" "Fine fine yuhao you should get going back I'll stay here for a few more hours I'll see you guys tomorrow" " Alright well see you tomorrow

take care wang dong let's go"yuhao says while walking away with wang dong now with them gone I was about to continue my

training i began running deeper into the forest when suddenly while jumping from tree to tree I stumbled upon something

unexpected lXi'an jumped on a tree near him and stared down a girl a few years older than himself training by herself li xian was quite shocked to see who it was it was she had

long red hair reaching down her lower hips as well as dazzling crimson red eyes xian knew who she was instantly it was senior Ma XiaoTao one of the most beautiful characters in the manga xian knew she was beautiful but seeing her with his own eyes was truly

something else even li Xi'an couldn't control home a he mumbled beautiful which caught her attention.

Senior Ma XiaoTao Pov/

so I came deep in the forest to train like I did everyday away from the academy to not hurt those around as I tried to control my demonic

fire but to my frustration I couldnt control my flames just like every other day I burned everything around me to ashes as I was

pondering on what to do I heard a voice coming not far from me I turn around to see who was disturbing my training I'm quite shocked to see it was only a child standing on a tree not to far staring down at me but I could tell the child was something else his long white hair pure as snow as it reached his

shoulders his deep blue eyes staring down on me as if he had just seen through me but what shocked me was not just beauty but rather what he asked me.

back to xian as he was staring at xiaotao he knew that in the manga she needed absolute Ice in order to supress the demonic fire he knew that it was the only thing that could

supress the demonic flame within her which was absolute fire in order to continue to cultivate he knew that yuhao was the one to do it in the story but xian didn't care this was

real life and if he had to opportunity to help such a beauty who would hesitate so he asked her plain and simple "senior I have

been watching you for quite a while although I'm not sure what your problem truly is but with your permission I can temporary suppress the demonic fire within you which will allow you to train without any delays or being taken over be the evil fire what do say"

ma xiaotao looks at the boy as if he was an idiot even her master couldn't suppress her flames she laughed and said" boy countless masters have tried to suppress my flames but all failed what can a child like you do to

suppress these flames" Xi'an stares deep into her crimson eyes and just smirks as he reaches out his right hand and points it towards the nearby trees and speaks three

single words "Light Of EverFrost" a blue flame of ice erupts from his hand and dashes toward the nearby trees soon everything is

shrouded in a blazing blizzard that engulfs the entire forest in mere seconds later it

disappears as fast as it came leaving

nothing behind but a frozen wasteland

xiaotao stood their stupefied at what she had. seen a boy younger then her had turned the entire forest into a wasteland with a single move but what caught her attention the most was the blizzard the moment it appeared xiaotao began being supressed her entire

body began freezing even her blood was beginning to freeze she had never felt such coldness she could feel her demonic flame beginning to suppress little by little she knew it was none other than absolute Ice she looked at the boy and spoke " so you can

controll absolute Ice it's true that with it could supress my demonic fire and naturally I would accept but based on the smirk on your face I know you are not doing this out of kindness of your heart what do want in return for your

help"said xiaotao "haha indeed nothing is ever free their is always a price to play but at the moment I don't need nothing or rather theirs nothing you possess which catches my attention so consider this favor from me and in time I will come and collect the debt you owe for my help so do you accept" Xi'an

spoke with a grin on his face xiaotao stood thinking for a while and after pondering for a few minutes she nodded and agreed. Soon after Xi'an jumps off the tree and begins

walking towards xiaotao after reaching her he introduces himself " the names Li Xi'an an outer disciple but you can can me brother Xi'an "xiaotao simply nods" " Ma Xiaotao but you can call me sister xiaotao " Xi'an the

begins talking " alright sister xiaotao before we begin I must tell you in order for me to suppress your fire you must undress yourself" xiaotao looks at the boy while realising her killing intent while xian begins regreting ever saying anything."sister xiaotao don't be angry

you don't need to fully undress I just need you to undress your back"xiaotao after hearing his words finally calms down and begins to undress her back after she finished she looks towards Xi'an waiting on what to do next but Xi'an is lost in his own world as he looked at ma xiaotaos naked back he just stood their staring at her which only made her blush

harder eventuality Xi'an snapped back into reality and told her to sit in a lotus position and he would take care of the rest ma xiaotao does what he say and puts herself in a lotus position. Xi'an walks up and sits behind

xiaotao and puts his hands on her upper back and begins to infuse his absolute Ice into her body as well as helping her circulate it

throughout her body but Xi'an underestimated the demonic fire it took over five hours of

infusing nonstop to truly supreess the fire after some time xiaotao awoke and she could immediately feel the difference in her body she looked Xi'an and thanked him but Xi'an

just shrugged it off like it was nothing but he warned xiaotao "sister although the demonc fire Is suprssed it is only temporary even I don't know how long it will last but when the suppression wears off you can come find me within the outer courts" said xian with a smile xiaotao on the other hand knew it was only

temporarily but it didn't matter to her she was truly thankfull towards Xi'an "do not worry I understand but truly thank-you "said xiaotao Xi'an stood their " if you are truly thankful

towards me than do me a favor and spar with me you see I've training in the forest for the past few months I'm eager to find out how strong I've become" said xian with cocky

smile on his face xiaotao saw his cocky smile and just smile and said sure" just don't regret it"....
