There was a small panic in soul society as I tore it out of its little dimension. Spirit power over the area skyrocketed. All gates where cut off to the real world. The sky overhead changed and people had no idea what was happening.
The only people more panicked than soul society was the Sternritters as Cassie had eliminated quite a few of the more nasty ones. I don't need psychopaths running around my kingdom doing who knows what.
Others where given a very strict talking to and a chance to behave or they too would be 'expelled' from the kingdom. They were given the basic starter pack like everyone else and introduced to jobs. I had also gotten a few new kingsgaurds for myself at the request of them.
The other notable people I had moved in where misaki and isshin as well as my two little sisters who just graduated recently I gave them a house each as congrats and free schooling as all my schooling is free.
For soul society what was mainly discussed was a new improved police force as my kingdoms had skyrocketed in the number of people living here. When you add millions of souls who had lived in basically trash heaps and stolen and robbed for a living then it puts a bit of stress on the police force I quickly separated them from the normal people and they calmed down somewhat but they still need a few lessons and a rough hand.
of course a few people wanted to work in different areas. Like unohana wanted to be stationed at the hospital along with most of her squad as they were trained to be medics orihime went there aswell. Kensei wanted to open up a kind of dojo and teach people martial arts. I thought that was a neat idea. I tried to convince toshiro to drive an ice cream truck around town however he just told me to fuck off, how rude.
Old man yama now does yoga and duck feeding in one of the local parks with some of the older generations. He also likes to feed the fish.
Mashiro was happily accepted into the snack group along with yachiru. Ophis was the leader of this group and it was slowly growing in size. Kenpachi took a liking to the dungeons and arena.
Soi fon and yoruichi joined my assasins guard to learn new tricks and such along with most of their sqaud. of course I got a rather harsh beating from the ladies for the tricks I pulled. Also rangiku opened up a clothing store so she could make her own dresses and sell her own style of fashion.
Hinamori went into maid training with grayfia as she wanted to learn to serve me better.
There were other great things that some of the squad did but let's not talk about that right now I'm sure what you folks really want is the next world.
Now then let's get started. "System world travel start. Let's go to battle through the heavens. I want to swap places with Xiao Yan no special requests as I have no idea what to do but you can put in the standard protocols." (A/N I don't remember too much of the book who knows maybe I'll change something later.)
[Confirmed transfer ready.]
The magical light we all know and love whisks me away.
Memories flood my body as I open my eyes. I hear the jeers and mocking of a crowd around me. In front of me appears to be some kind of testing pillar of sorts.
"Ryan, Dou Zhi Li, 3rd stage! Rank: Low!" Beside the Magical Testing Monument, a middle-aged man looked at the results on the monument and announced them with an indifferent voice.
So many damn cultivation styles. I think. Why can't there just be like a universal style. However the current step I'm at you guys can consider like the lowest of the low, Level 3 foundation. Pitiful.
I Look down at my hand and see a pitch black ring that is currently sucking away my cultivation. Rude.
Immediately after the middle-aged man finished speaking, without much surprise, the people in the square started a commotion, ridiculing him.
"3rd stage? Hmmhmm, as expected. This 'genius' has once again taken a step back."
"Ai, this piece of trash really disgraced his entire clan."
"If his father wasn't the clan leader, this kind of trash would already have been kicked out of the clan. Nobody would care about him, and there wouldn't be such a thing as leeching off the clan home."
"How could the once famous genius of the clan fall to become like this over the past few years?"
"Who knows? Maybe he did something unforgivable and caused the gods to get angry."
I fight back the urge to laugh as I just wander off to watch the rest of the people take tests.
"Next up, Xiao Mei!"
Hearing the tester's voice, a teenage girl quickly ran up from in the crowd. The moment she got on stage, the murmurings and discussions quietened down and every pair of fiery eyes were locked on her face.
The teenage girl wasn't more than 14 years old. Although her beauty wasn't immediately evident, her small childish face combined with her innocence captured the attention of the audience.
She quickly stepped forward and put her tiny hands on the black stone monument. She then closed her eyes gently.
As the girl closed her eyes, the monument shined brightly once again.
'Dou Zhi Li, 7th stage!'
"Xiao Mei, Dou Zhi Li, 7th stage! Rank: High!"
"Yeh!" Hearing the tester read out the result, the teen girl smiled proudly.
"Tsk tsk, 7th stage Dou Zhi Li. How impressive! At this rate, in three years she'll be named a true Dou Zhe already."
"She really fits the name of the clan's seedling."
Hearing the unanimous praise coming from the crowd, the girl's smile turned even wider. Vanity, the temptation that so many girls are unable to resist…
While chatting with her fellow sister members, her line of sight weaved through the surrounding people and landed on a lonesome figure away from them. Something seemed different about him that she couldn't put her finger on.
Furrowing her brows for a while, she finally decided against walking over. Between the two of them was already a huge gap. Looking at Ryan's performance these past few years, by the time the Adulthood Ceremony comes, he would only be able to place at the lower tier clan member ranks. She, however, with her brilliance, would become the clan's very important and thus well-nurtured fighter. There would be no limit to her future.
"Ai…" An inexplicable sigh emerged from her. Xiao Mei thought back to the youth from three years ago, bursting with energy and pride. At 4 he started practicing, and at 10 he achieved the 9th stage Dou Zhi Li. At 11 he broke the 10th stage Dou Zhi Li barrier and condensed his Dou Zhi Qi Zu successfully. He became the youngest Dou Zhe in the clan since the past 100 years.
At that time, his self-confidence as well as immeasurable power attracted countless young teens which of course, included Xiao Mei.
However, the path of a genius was always winding. Three years ago, this genius youngster whose fame reached the absolute top, received what could possibly be the cruelest blow. The hard work he put into acculmulating and condensing the Dou Zhi Qi Zu over the past ten years had, in just one night, vanished into nothingness. All the Dou Zhi Li in his body slowly dissipated with time and instead, pity for him grew.
As a result of losing his Dou Zhi Li, his physical strength decreased as well.
From the position of a genius, in one night he fell below the average person. This kind of blow made the youth lose his will to carry on training. The reverence once associated with this lad had slowly changed into disdain and ridicule.
Standing so high up, and falling right down. Pity.
