6 Ch 6 The flying house (1/2)
Lan Long noticed that is cells were strengthening at fighting speed. He had once tried to cut himself with a carving knife only to see the steel couldn't penetrate his skin. His reflexes, strength and speed improved at incredible speeds. Although, Lan Long didn't pick up any of the movement arts and fighting arts, both his fighting skill and speed could be rated at the top of his level. Lan Long didn't compare himself with his peer, hence he had no idea of his current strength. After reaching first level of Ki gathering Lan Long improved in formation and continued to improve them with every level he crossed. There were 4 Levels in each realm of cultivation. The early, the middle, the late and the peak, these four layers often represented huge difference in capabilities and strengths.
Lan Long continued his relaxed and lazy way of cultivation every day, almost never leaving his hammock and only moving for bare necessities. The Ki used by Lan Long was ethereal and invisible, it couldn't be sensed by any normal cultivator, unless that cultivator was of celestial realm. There was no one of that strength in the Long clan. The strongest cultivator was Great Elder who was a Core realm.
Soon years passed, Lan Longs strength grew to a horrifying degree. He was now, 14 years of age and he was now at the early Ki sea realm. He had finally overturned the history and flipped off the heavens. No one in history of the continent had such strength at such an age. His father entered Ki sea at the age of 29 and he was considered a genius. No one knew of Lan Long's achievement as no one could sense his Ki. Everyone thought of his as the Lazy fool. His parent had often asked elder about Lan Long and they were both joyed and their son was still alive and disappointed as their son couldn't even cultivate to Ki gathering in 10 years. Soon, in about a month his parent would be lifted of their house arrest and Lan Long would be given a new manual of the clans choosing.
Lan Long had grown to a height of 170cm and had long black hair. He would always have a smell of nature about him and his cute round face now had manly features. Too bad, no girls ever paid attention to him as them deemed him useless. Many even made fun of him and rebuked him as they passed by his hammock.
Suddenly, there was a huge commotion in the girls living area. Apparently, a huge hamster was causing a ruckus in a girl's personal kitchen. It had appeared out of nowhere and scared the poor girl, then it immediately raided the kitchen. Too bad for this hamster, he had raided the sweetheart of this generation. The beautiful red head was called Xiao Long. She had extremely cute features and was sought by many.
After raiding the kitchen of this girl, the hamster stared to raid all the neighboring kitchens. By the end of the hour a mob of angry looking girls was chasing was a rather smug looking Hamster. Soon, the boys who wanted to gain some points in for girls had also joined. Soon a mob of about a hundred people was chasing after the hamster. After giving a good chase, the hamster was finally cornered. A fight broke out as the hamster easily avoided a mob of Ki gathering cultivators. It then bee lined him was toward Lan Long's hammock and jumped on his chest. The huge hamster turned to a regular palm sized hamster in a moment as it landed on Lan Long's chest.
This cute little hamster was Lan Long's pet. He had found him near his house when he was really young and decide to keep him. He had named this little hamster Xiao Kong. In his free time, he had inscribed the same formation on the hamster as well. It then turned into a huge Hamster with human child like intelligence. He had honey light brown fur and was incredibly soft to touch. It was an ordinary hamster when Lan Long found him. It was the not even supposed to reach the Ki gathering realm but Lan Long had inscribed it with the same formations in his body. Over a few years, the sweet hamster grew monstrously strong. Although, the fur looked extremely soft and was comfortable to touch, it was also stronger that the high-grade armor used by cultivators. High grade armor could withstand attacks from Ki sea realm cultivators and was very valuable. Xiao Kong was comparable to extremely rare beasts after reaching KI condensing realm.
The crowd saw the hamster land on Lan Long and immediately surrounded his hammock. Even though, Lan Long had warned Xiao Kong not to cause trouble, the rat had gone and pissed of the entire younger generation.
”Lan Long, hand over the rat. Immediately.” One of the hot-blooded youngsters shouted.
”Yes, hand it over.” Another girl agreed.

Lan Long pretended to be asleep as he observed his surroundings with his soul sense. Soon, his cousin came and stood before his hammock and exerted is Ki pressure on Lan Long.
”Brother Lan Long, please give me some face and hand over your mouse. I will provide a better trained pet in the future.” Jiang Long said in a low voice. He was one of the best of this generation and also pursued Xiao Long.
Cheee. . .
A squeak was heard as Xiao Kong attacked Jiang Long's face and left many bruises. His pretty face was now scratched and he was rolling in the muds trying to shake of Xiao Kong. Sadly for him Xiao Kong was a late-Ki condensing realm. If Xiao Kong wanted, he could have killed everyone in the mob with ease and even escape.
”Xiao Kong.” Lan Long's voice sounded. His voice was very pleasant to hear but had a hint on manliness about it. Some girl even gasped when they heard Lan Long. The little hamster immediately jumped back onto the hammock.
”Lan Long, you will pay that.” Jiang Long Roared with an extremely red face. He unsheathed his sword and pointed towards Lan Long.
”Brother Jiang, it was you who asked for Xiao Kong. If isn't my fault if you couldn't handle him.” Lan Long said with a slight laugh. Hearing that laugh some girls even awed at the cuteness of the laugh.
”How dare you mock me.” Jiang Long finally couldn't control it and sent his sword swinging at Lan Long. As the sword approached a soft squeak was heard and Jiang Long was blown away. An elder watching the scene was alarmed and immediately checked for injuries and sighed. Jiang Lan was unconscious and had 2 broken ribs.
The crowd was shocked as they looked at the little hamster, on Lan Long's hat. The crowd immediately turned silent as they realized that they were all played with. Even if they all could catch the hamster, they could not do anything to it. Xiao Kong landed on Lan Long's chest after beating Jiang Long and comfortably lied down and closed his eyes.
The crowd started to disperse they felt that the show was over, only Xiao Long and a few girls stayed behind. While Xiao Long was interested in the hamster, everyone else was interested in Lan Long. Usually the beast tamer was stronger than the beast by a large margin and they thought that it was the same for Lan Long.
”Lan Long, can I have a look at your divine beast?” Xiao Long asked in a low voice. A divine beast was a beast that had formed a soul connection with a human. The connection was a type of bond that the humans and beast could share. It also acted like a crude communication when the beast was at low level and improved with the strength of the beast. At its later stages the bond could be used to communicate with the beast at great lengths and sense it positions.
Lan Long grabbed the hamster and kept it in her hands. Xiao Long was surprised at the sudden action and yelped lightly. Soon, many girls gathered around Xiao Long and started to pet the hamster. Xiao Kong despite being a general dick in its treatment of others, really enjoyed when someone petted him and fed him food. A girl took out a berry and handed to Xiao Long and he immediately gulped it down. The girls started to laugh as the berry was the size of Xiao Kong's head and he looked really cute as the he puffed it cheeks after eating the berry.
”Little hamster, can you grow bigger like before.” A girl asked while petting the hamster. Almost instantly, Xiao Kong began to increase in size. Soon, it because a meter long and stopped growing. The girls were silent at first and then the group girls devolved into a pool of awes and oohs. They couldn't get a good look a t Xiao Kong before as he was moving erratically and looked like a blur. Now, see him closely revealed that the hamster looked like a fluffy pillow when it grew. The girls hugged him and basically fell in love with Xiao Kong's soft fur.
After, about 15 minutes of hamster petting girls realized that they were in the company of a boys and began to leave. Some gave Xiao Kong fruits and sweets as they left. No one bothered to ask Lan Long about the species of the hamster. They were far too embarrassed.
After all the scene restored its peace with only Lan Long and Xiao Kong on the hammock, the elder came walking to the scene. He stood in front of Lan Long and coughed lightly. Lan Long didn't respond and kept still with the bamboo hat on his face.
”Lan Long, bring out your divine best, so that I may look at it.” The elder commanded. Lan Long just grabbed the hamster and handed it to the elder. The elder was surprised that Lan Long didn't used his soul sense to determine his location and was able to accurately place the hamster in his hand. Elder immediately used his soul sense to examine the hamster. He was able to feel the energy with its bobby but could not associate it with any of the divine beasts. He guessed that it was a hybrid of some different beast. What surprised the elder was that, he was not able to sense the beast's cultivation. From the earlier attack, he guessed that the hamster was at least peak Ki gathering or at most early Ki condensing realm.
”Lan Long, what is this beast's cultivation level?” Elder finally asked Lan Long.
