98 A memory. (2/2)

Then, beneath her curious gaze, a quaking rumble rocked the earth. She stumbled a bit, but this was soon interrupted with an even greater boom.

*BANG*

A blitzing gold pierced the sky as two figures intertwined in streaks of otherworldly strength. They rummaged and battered the atmosphere, travelling at speeds far surpassing sound.

*WHOOOSH*

Her eyes widened as she watched them, in a hazed blur, blitz passed her. A ray of gold followed them, which would sometimes fracture from crashing exertions of power from simple fists.

Yet, before they could travel far, one of the figures seemed to erupt with a detrimental force as they hammered the other with both palms. A cry rang before a piercing pillar of splintering air thrashed the ground, throwing the opponent right into the earth's crust.

*CRASHHH*

An overwhelming shockwave hurled rubble in all directions, causing Wen Mian to stagger backwards.

Still, she was stubborn and kept her eyes open to gaze at these people she had taken interest in.

*STEP*

A simple clothed man landed near her, eyes shining gold. His fists were steaming, and his muscles popped out like dragons.

*CRACK*

He stared upon a massive crater that spanned hundreds of meters, and within such a thing a crack resounded.

*PSST*

And not too long after did a blurred woman ram herself out of the ground. She plopped onto an area a meter or so away from the man, staring at him with sharp golden eyes.

Her body was toned just like the man, but she still somehow contained the beauty of womanly nature.

*SHIINGGG*

Two simultaneous pulsations of ancient energy wafted out of their bodies and encompassed them. Their auras skyrocketed, and their pristine bodies began to wriggle with a disastrous strength.

Two silhouettes of dragons appeared behind both of them. The dragon's each seemed to be opposite of each other, where one was bulky and massive whilst the other was sleek and elegant.

”Wow...”

Wen Mian got goosebumps as she watched this, but she found that the world she stood in was begging to dissipate.

*Wanggg*

”If you haven't guessed already, it is best not to fight them. These two, in particular, are famous cultivators of an ancient clan that carry a faint bloodline originating from a lower ancient dragon.”

An old voice quaked in the world as Wen Yu emerged midair and shook his hand. Everything disappeared from this, and Wen Mian reentered the real world.

”The Ancients are the races made for battle! However, what came with this was a lower population, which evened out everything quite nicely. Though lower races that are ancient can still multiply at rapid rates, it's just those with higher bloodlines that find it hard to reproduce. Now, get back to studying and stop with this pointless curiosity!”

'... I wonder what clan Su Min came from.'

Wen Mian sighed as she stopped reminiscing on that memory. It was far too long ago...

She grasped the manual in her hand, gazed at Li Wei, and felt a burning determination.

'I need to get strong, strongenough so that I can see more of the world and control my fate...'

...

...

...

”Hm...”

Reclining in a broken world, Su Min scratched his hair as he frowned. The black figure next to him was snoring like always, and it had become background noise to Su Min.

His eyes shined a peculiar light as he held a thin manual in his hand. It had the words 'Supreme Cultivation Method' written on it, fierce in vigour.

”I don't want to hinder my recovery...”

Su Min sighed as he stopped himself from opening the manual. He knew that trying to form his Martial Cultivation would take Mental Energy, which he had very little of.

He guessed that he wouldn't be able to leave for another couple days, so he could only hope that Li Wei won't do anything stupid. Not that he would be any better at that, as he seems to be a rather impulsive person.

”Still, I never knew that people could see my soul... Scary.”

Su Min mumbled to himself as he felt a little embarrassed at not knowing such a commonplace idea. Even then, he felt that he has a lot to learn.

*Tap*

Boredom.

He was bored beyond belief.

'Maybe I can take a look at this place...'

Su Min had a sudden thought as he stood up and gazed at that hut not too far away from him. He has been curious of it ever since he entered this world, and seeing that the black figure didn't care, he felt a prevailing need to explore.

”Hut, please bless me with fortune... Perhaps some of those crystals, eh?”

Su Min spoke with hope as he took a step towards the blurry hut.
