"Ninth Stage Peak..." Luan muttered as he opened his eyes that seemed to know all the mysteries of the stars. His Qi power was now very powerful and rich. His bones having undergone changes, he was able to reach Stage 10 of the Twelve Golden Bones Realm.
"Officially in the Fifth Order." Luan's red eyes gleamed coldly. Dragon Qi was full of cruelty. If he wasn't strong enough, he could become a heartless monster.
Both his Qi and his body had the strength of 10 dragons. By comparison, he had the strength of 10,000 humans or 20 dragons - a brutal force capable of destroying a country in less than 1 day.
While Luan was getting ready to leave, a group of people flew by. When they looked down and saw only a visibly battered man, his face and body smeared with blood, raggedly clothed, inside a crater, they wondered what must have happened to have made this happen.
"Is he hurt?" Quon muttered.
Chang, beside him, flying with mechanical wings, said cautiously, "It seems so. What did he fight to end up disfiguring the whole surrounding scenery?"
Luan lifted his head, his eyes fixed on the group of people who had just arrived.
"Where is the monster?" In fluid English, a woman with long black hair asked.
"Dead," Luan replied coolly.
The man beside the woman frowned, not liking the tone of Luan talking to Ming. "Boy, don't go too far. Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Chu, it's okay," the Ming girl said in her sweet voice.
"No, he needs to learn a lesson," Chu said in an authoritative voice.
Luan narrowed his eyes. He was looking at the man like he was looking at an idiot. "Don't bother me." He was about to leave.
"Damn it! I'll see to it you stop being so unrestrained!" Chu's hands moved abruptly, generating a slight detonation sound. "First I'm going to cripple both your legs, and then I'm going to take your spoils as compensation for talking to us like that!"
"Green Dragon!" the man screamed with a pair of metallic wings on his back. He flew towards Luan. This was a very quick and powerful technique he had gotten from the tower. Chu trained a lot for several days, already mastering the initial stage of the technique and managing to manifest the aura of a dragon when attacking. His speed was fast and his attack was powerful. Using the power of his almost Fourth Order cultivation, one blow was enough to cripple any opponent he had met!
Luan glared, remaining still, condensing his White Dragon Negative Qi, the right fist slightly glowing with the power of two dragons. By the time Chu's sharp claws were right in front of him, his eyes turned so cold they were capable of causing goosebumps.
"Hold up!"
It was too late. Chu's allies never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.
At that moment, the punch filled with the white dragon's overwhelming power caused ripples in the air, seeming to split the wind itself.
Chu's heart pounded! He had a terrible premonition as if he were the prey hunted by the dragon and not the other way around. It made all the fine hairs on his body stand on end; even his blood was frozen.
"Impossible!" Ming yelled in disbelief, "How can he be so strong even though he's so hurt?"
How could this man create such strong pressure? They had made a mistake: Luan was never hurt. That blood wasn't even his.
Chu grits his teeth. "I won't believe you can block my attack. Die!"
"Heh…" Luan found this funny. When he punched in Chu's direction, he didn't even use the technique.
*BOOOM!*
Luan's heavy blow exploded, creating a powerful blast of shock waves that caused Chu's arm to break bit by bit, turning to mush. Luan's fist didn't stop, continuing its way toward Chu's chest.
*Bang!*
Chu flew like a bird with a battered wing, twirling in the air, soon falling heavily to the ground. He remained motionless as he fell to the ground, showing no sign of life.
"You..." Chu's allies were looking at this in disbelief. Their eyes were terrified.
The Ming girl pointed her finger at Luan while stammering, "Y-You... He's the son of the President of China! You won't get away with it; you're definitely dead!"
"Oh?" A cold smile curved Luan's lips. "You know? Dead men tell no tales."
"No!!"
Ming deeply regretted having threatened Luan. "Wait! W-We're not going to say anything, right?"
She looked at the others. They didn't even dare speak, just nodded tightly.
While Luan was silent, a young man who looked like Chu shouted, "Hug me, now!"
A light enveloped them all the moment they all embraced him. In the next instant, they were gone. Luan was surprised they had something like that. A random teleport device was extremely expensive to acquire on earth, but thinking that this boy could also be the son of the President of China, it was possible that their party could have had a lot of credits to buy things in the tower by collecting taxes...
"Should I chase them?" Luan scratched his head. What a headache...
Although he wasn't afraid, it would be problematic if the President of China wanted to make trouble for his family. Luan walked over to Chu and went through his belongings. As expected, there was another random teleport device.
Taking the metal wing, and the rest of the dead man's belongings, Luan scratched his face as he manifested his Qi. However, even after that, he was not able to find that group.
"Forget it. If they try to get me in trouble, I just need to kill them all later," Luan muttered as he began to float.

When Luan returned to Brazil, the spoils he got were plentiful. Throwing monster cores inside the island formation, his Qi density increased several fold.
Now that he officially had the power of the Fifth Order, he was able to bring out Leviathan without burdening himself. The Leviathan flew over the island, and using his cloud powers, Luan connected to it. At least the Leviathan was able to become self-sustaining by the island's Qi. For now, that was enough.
Almost 4 days later, everyone from Luan's entourage returned to Brazil and met Luan on the island.
"This island is becoming more and more mystical." Lenore was amazed. She felt proud looking at her father. It was a whole new feeling, and when she noticed he was already in the Fifth Order, she smiled sweetly.
"Father, congratulations," she said softly.
"Thanks." Luan smiled at her.
Catharina gave Luan a weak punch in the arm and said with dissatisfaction, "Damn, you're getting stronger. Damn it, wait for us to catch up to you!"
"Oh? Isn't it because you didn't try hard enough?" Luan squeezed her cheek, making it red.
"Annoying." Catharina slapped his hand, and huffed, "You dare say that?! I tried like I never tried before. Do you think I'm that abnormal?!"
"Tsk, that's just sad." Luan smiled when he saw that she was getting tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "Okay, sorry. You tried really hard; I'm a freak."
"Humph! Glad you know it~" In the end, it was all crocodile tears. She gave a victorious smile and even made a "V" sign for their mom and the rest.
"…" Luan was shocked.
