95 Prelude to a changing Era (1/2)

A man meditated in the open fields outside the city. Around him was the growling of beasts creeping up to him. These beasts were not weak either. Each one was at minimum a grade 4 beast. The wolf was the first to attack and pounced on his arm. The man held out his arm and gripped the wolf on the neck. With a quick grab, the neck of the wolf broke. The man threw the wolf into the crowd of beasts watching as the wolf getting devoured almost instantly. The man stood up and gave a stretch. The man jumped in the crowd of beasts and started to slaughter them one by one. A horned bear roared as it loomed over him with it's jaws wide open. The man took a quick glance and grabbed the bear by the horn. Using it as leverage, the man leaped into the air onto it's back snapping the horn in the process.

”Die.”

The man shoved the pointed the tipped end of the horn and stabbed it into the eye of the bear blinding it. The bear flailed in rage however the man had his legs wrapped around the neck of it. Before the bear could do anything, he gave a quick twist and it was down. Suddenly, he felt a wave of qi coming from somewhere in the distance.

”What is this?”

The man kicked off the back of the bear and stared off to the distance. The beasts started to runaway from the qi back into the forest leaving him alone to face the qi. He sat down in a meditative position as the wave passed. The man's body started to expand as the wave passed with some getting absorbed into his body. Inside his dantian, a chain was coiled around it. The chain kept pulsing trying to restrain it's energy.

”Grrahh!”

The chains snapped upon his breakthrough as scales materialized along his arm. Claws replaced his fingernails and something started to protrude from his back. The man stood up feeling the scales that covered his neck. Somewhere within the city, an orb shattered. The man took out a tablet and tapped on it. After around a minute, he started to speak.

”Principal...I have broken through.”

The voice on the other side didn't seemed surprised.

”I can tell...You have no need for another contract. Jun Fan you have done well. The more pressing matter at hand is the cause of that wave.”

”Got it...”

Two holes tore open on the back of Jun Fan's robe. Jun Fan stretched out his wings and flapped slightly.

”Hmm....Interesting.”

He gave a strong flap and flashed into the sky. With another, he appeared in front of the gates of the city. The gates were shut tight as a large formation was activated. He released his form and returned back to a normal human. He presented his badge to the guard.

”Jun Fan of Dragon Root Academy.”

”You may enter.”

”Village chief! Big trouble. Mo Liu collapsed onto the ground! He started to choke! The other children are also starting to having difficulty breathing. What do we do?”

An aged man was sitting inside the village hall looking at the village layout. A young man around the age of 18 entered the room panting heavily.

”Get Feng Tian to activate the defensive restraint formation.”
