"Right! I do have rewards from defeating Chang Clan, 50,000 and Two skill books not bad. My mom also left the Phoenix Breathe for me, hahaha." He opened his storage and claimed his reward.

The first skill book was 'Flame Devourer'

[ Flame Devourer: Based on its name, you will be able to absorb any flame and your body will have heat tolerance. When you consumed the fire your body will automatically condense it and convert to become energy and that energy will store to a special storage solely for this energy. Once you learn this technique an especial reservoir will gonna develop or commonly known as 'Fire Dantian']

[ Warning: Some of the fire is contained poison, you can eat that said fire if you have a high tolerance in poison.]

The second book he got is called 'Flaming Hand'

[ Flaming Hand: There are three moves listed on this skill book,

1. 'Flaming Palm'

2. 'Flaming Fist'

3. 'Flaming Dragon'

The third move is the most violent, you can throw a fire dragon energy, size of the user's arm that can reach within 100 meters. Also the intense flame you have the most brutal it could do.]

"Ohh! this is a very good skill! Assimilate the technique." Murmured by him.

[ Flame Devourer and Flaming Hand are now comprehended. Would you want to raise its proficiency by using HP ]

"What!? I do have this kind of feature?! why it just appears this time?" blurted out by Lei Chen.

[ Player already reach a certain grade to be able to use this feature.]

"I see, so how much HP do I need to use?"

[ 1 HP per proficiency ]

"Good! Good! Then please do! Hahaha!"

[ The system already raised the proficiency to the fullest, 400 HP was deducted. Would you want to upgrade them to level 2? The system will need 5,000 HP per skill or move. ]

"Sigh... I need to gain strength as soon as possible, yes, please do."

Lei Chen was reluctant to spend 20, 000 HP but there is nothing he could do.

[ Flame Devourer and Flaming Hands were now level 2 would you want...]

"No!" He quickly answers the system.

Lei Chen is wearing a somber countenance, his HP reduced to 1,660. He assimilated the Spirit Fire Fist Kong using 10,000, for raising the proficiency 100 HP per 1 point (10,000 in total) and to upgrade to level 2 he needs to pay 8,000.

Spiritual Warrior is different than Martial art or body cultivator, they don't need to have special storage such as Fire Dantian, Earth Dantian, and so on. Once they learned the skill they can execute it immediately, for example, the Flaming Hand. This will not work unless you already have a Fire Dantian, that's why Spiritual Warrior is very important.

"Sigh... I wanted to peek what is the books that Chang Yi found, sigh... I should refrain for the moment. I don't want to know that I've made a bad decision." He murmured.

The morning came and its warm rays of sunrise truly gives a soothing sensation. Lei Chen, Meili, and her son bid farewell to Ying Yan Ye. They began their journey to reach Thunder Town the main capital town in Wind Breeze City. Along the way, they meet a group of mercenaries guarding 3 carriages, loaded with rare herbs, liquors, and other great staff.

"Halt!" yelled by the captain of mercenaries, it seems they have suspected Lei Chen's group as a spy. The trio stop and wait for the approaching captain.

"It's a pleasant day isn't it?" The looks to then but they did not buy his excuse. Instead, Lei Chen asks with direct questions.

"What did you need from us?" A calm and cold voice of Lei Chen, the Captain is also confused. This young in front of him radiates weak aura, yet his voice gives him a premonition feeling that he is not talking to a young man but a Brutal demon. Moreover, he still stands on his ground.

"Young Man it seems your way is also at Thunder Town right? why not join our group for less hustle and more safety. By the way, I'm the captain of Tiger Claw Mercenary, you can decline my offer if you want it doesn't matter, hahaha. So how is it?"

Lei Chen pondered for a moment, (" mmph! looking at us down, fool."), He even felt a slight killing intent on the last sentence, somehow, he still agrees to join with them. The Captain was the first to leave them and regroup to his team.

"Young Master, it seems our good day, that captain had a good heart, right? he even chases us just to be safer in our way." Said by Meili while wearing a smile on her face.

"Maybe yes, maybe not. It seems you don't know the real reason why he let us join." repute by him.

"What do you mean young master?"

Meili was confused about Lei Chen word.

"Sigh... The first reason is to avoid trouble, he did not know whether we are friends or foes. If we join them he can order one of his men to monitor us, does it will not give them a hard time to attack us. The second we can be used as cannon fodder in case of danger happened. Hmm, what a wise captain. He didn't even bother to tell us his name, he thinks that we're not qualified to know. Hehe"

Meili did not repute anymore she knows that his young master prediction is very logical. In fact, she felt disdain now to this unknown captain.

**********

While inside the Carriage located in the middle an old man chuckled while stroking his long white beard,

"What is it grandpa" Ask by a young girl wearing a beautiful red dress even though she is wearing a veil to hide her face, you can tell that she is a goddess of beauty and came from a prominent family. Her eyes are wide due to her curiosity about his grandpa action.

"Nothing my dear granddaughter, I just heard a quite interesting things outside."

The girl peeks outside and looks at what it is, however, She didn't find any interesting so she just returns to her seat with her pouting lip, "Hmmph, there is no interesting things outside" murmur by her.

They came from a different city that greatly advanced than this remote city of Wind Breeze City. They were Merchants a very powerful one, almost cities they do have branches. They are the Liu ( flow ) Clan, which owns the Thousand Herbs Store, Moon Auction House, and many more.

"Ahahaha! Eyes can be a deceiver sometimes, hahaha" Laugh by the old man.

They were now in the middle of the forest, the mercenaries are circling the carriages. Lei Chen's group is inside that circle and the captain of the mercenaries is positioned in the tail and keeps on eyeing every on Lei Chen's group. Luckily they don't encounter danger in the forest, as they continue their journey they already reach the main town of Wind Breeze City, Thunder Town.

Lei Chen looks at Meili and her son and see their reaction to seeing the massive gate and area, but they were just normal. (" As I thought, they came from an advanced city or nation. ") He thinks.

They were now at the last line when it was their turn to go inside they were blocked by the gate soldiers.

" Halt! You are not part of their group, you and your friends are not exempted in entrance pay. 50 silver for each of you" Disdain countenance by the soldier. "Country bumpkin is very slowpoke and useless hurry up and pork some!"

Lei Chen stops Meili, from hacking this power tripper soldier. (" Hmph! Let's see")

" I'm a Physician and I have a word with my friend Brother Wong Zi " Lei Chen throws his own nameplate to the stunned soldier to confirm the authenticity.

The soldiers were startled when they heard this young man saying, Brother Wong Zi. His career alone is already enough to be treated as VVIP in this city, let alone he is Brother to the Great Physician Wong Zi.

"What? it's not enough? her this is his nameplate." Lei Chen did not know what he did was gives pressure to the soldier.

("Damn! this braggart! If someone sees that I've delayed you we are in trouble.") Cursing by the soldier, he quickly returns the nameplates with his trembling hands. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? CHRISTMAS? HURRY UP AND OPEN THE GATE! THIS LITTLE BROTHER HERE HAD A VERY IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT." Shout by the soldier to the gate controller, he was very angry that he messed the wrong person. Now his job even his life is at stake, he is crossing finger that this young man had a benevolence heart. (" I won't do it again...) He keeps on chanting these words on his mind.

Lei Chen felt hunger and look for a restaurant first before going to the physician's guild. They found a better restaurant called Blooming Taste Restaurant, the dishes it serves are top-notch in every restaurant herein Thunder Town. When they enter the restaurant a savory smell of food greets them and the waiter already there to receive them.

"Welcome dear customers, you were very lucky we've got one available table." The waiter guides them to the table, abruptly, a quick movement of a martial artist steals their seats and give the other two seats to his companion.

"Bring us wine and boar meat, hahaha" casually said these words with a mocking laugh and not minding that they steal the seat from someone. The waiter was surprised and didn't know what to do.

"WHAT!? didn't you hear what I've said!" One of the three gets irritated and slams his palm on the table then stood up and slap the poor waiter. " Can't you see who we are?"

The noise was made a commotion.

"Isn't that the Lu Family 2nd young master" the customers inside the restaurant was now chattering about this young master.
