Chapter 353: Ash King.

Amirah who was latching onto the window opening to Yang Dao's room was startled like everyone else who caught the slight bird sound echoing in the dark and gloomy place. She peeked inside the room and found a strong glow erupting inside.

She did not find Yang Dao inside the room so concluded that the guy was responsible for this glow eruption. After a few seconds, the glow began to dim, and Amirah spotted an outline of Yang Dao amidst the dim glow. She sighed and mumbled, "This guy is a beast." 

Yang Dao was unaware of all this, the glow erupted from his body as he stepped into the realm of an elemental king. It was just like the element becoming one with him and thus it came forward to be embraced by Yang Dao, nature's favorite. As his realm broke through completely and stabilized, he kept sitting in meditation. 

Only to be disturbed by continuous knocking on the barrier window. Yang Dao opened his eyes and found that the girl was glaring at him with a fidgety expression on her face. He sighed and waved his hand to take down the barrier, allowing her to climb in. 

Amirah sat down on the ground close to the window entrance and after wiping a layer of sweat on her forehead she said, "You were challenged by the old man. Your hunt of the contractors made the people with higher realms feel insecure. When you were meditating a person from the group to talk to you about this. However, since you did not respond to their call, the old man was enraged and left after challenging you." 

Yang Dao was calm as if nothing has happened. He nodded and asked, "When is the battle due?" 

Amirah said, "Whenever you wish." 

The boy suddenly stood up and said, "Then what is there to wait? Let us go. I need a hand in consolidating my realm further." 

That said, he picked up his shoes from the side and tied them up. This place had no dirt so it was clean, but the blood and fleshy stench accumulated over time cannot be cleaned as well water. Yang Dao would keep his shoes off his feet to avoid them developing an odor. 

He was very quick in his actions and left the room. Amirah was yet to recover from his answer when she spotted that the boy had already run outside. She also followed him with a complicated mind. 

... 

Yang Dao stood on the roof, gazing at the horizon, then he turned his head to the location where he sensed a strong fire source energy circulating and said, "Who challenged me? Do come out." 

His words surprised the level two and below practitioners, they would never have thought that such a thing can be done. Yang Dao was floating in the void and his hands were tied behind his ban. He patiently waited for the old person to come forward. 

Soon a voice came to his ears, "Oh, so the little chicken is out of the pen? Good, do you fight with me?"  Hahahahahahaha, Very well, I have not seen a young talent in a long time, come on." 

An old figure walked from the building. He wore a black robe similar to Yang Dao were dilapidated and broken in places. The boy said, "Come let me see, what you have." 

The two soon stood facing each other and the Old man asked, "Why do you have the confidence to face me at your level of strength? Do you know how long has it been since I reached the level of the kings? You were not even born probably."

Yang Dao said, "That just means you should have died long ago, but TYama forgot to check your lease. Also, you are a king for eighteen years? More or Less, but I became a king at eighteen years. Old man, the difference is not something your isolated brain can comprehend. Come let us get it over with." 

The old man snorted at his rude words and with the wave of his hands condensed a long sword made up of fire. The glinting orange color of the weapon looked very fascinating. Yang Dao was not behind as well, he shook his head and with a wave of his hand, a lot of feathers composed of the fire source energy. 

The Old Man looked around and did not understand what was going on. He sneered and with the sword tried to attack Yang Dao with w lunge. The boy was not surprised, he, on the contrary, waved his hand and the feathers flew up to sting the old man. 

Before the man could react from the pain, the feathers enveloped his whole body. The old man had not yet even reacted when the fight came to an end. The scene was witnessed by a few ole people from a distance. They were surprised by the fact that one of their fellow king was taken down by the guy so easily. 

Yang Dao had no change in his face. After a few seconds, when the flame feathers scattered, they revealed a statue hidden beneath them. The statue resembled the old man, the surprising expression on his face was so real as if the statue will come to life any moment. Yang Dai did not bother much and went back to his room while mumbling, "Useless." 

The reason he said this was because the peopel might have broken through to the level of an elemental King but they still had a shallow understanding of Fire. Amirah was sitting at the boundary and at this moment she was having a strong existential crisis. This young man in front her was a beast among beasts. She did not know anything about the guy but was aware that she must never end up on his bad side. 

After this fight, or wave of hand, Yang Dao gained a new moniker to himself, The Ash King. He made his opponents into Ash, and thus the name. After he left, the statue of ash, broke up and scattered in the void.
