Chapter 2 - Fire Poisoned Orb

[Comment #FOTcontinue if you want me to continue uploading]

After that little commotion, the Young Master of Wei Clan had became the laughingstock of the city. It was all thanks to the uploader of the video captioning that Little Gigolo is someone who shouldn't be offended.

The Wei Clan was so angry towards him but even more angrier to Wei Chu. He offended someone they can't even compare to which will threaten their existence in the city. If the Entertainment Tower moves, even the City Lord don't have the capability to change their decision.

"You did a great job. Let's see if the Wei Clan still have the face to go inside our Tower." Devil commented. He watched the entire verbal fight earlier but he chose not to interfere. He believes in Demon's abilities.

Demon nodded and took a bit of his food.

On their table, there are various dishes. Dishes made from the meats of beasts. The foods are rich in Qi that is beneficial to their Cultivation. Eating these kind of dishes shows their wealth.

He placed his spoon at his plate and wiped his mouth with the tissue. "People like him should be disciplined. If I ever meet someone with that attitude, I won't hesitate to do the same thing. Even though this person have greater background."

Devil raised his eyebrow as a sign that he agrees on Demon's statement. He silently took something inside his spatial ring and showed Demon the thing. Once Demon recognized the glowing back and red orb on Devil's hand, he stopped eating.

With his eyes wide, he took the orb and asked," This...this is the Fire Poisoned Orb! I truly idolize you Teacher. You even have this orb." Demon appreciated the orb in his hand.

' It's a pity that it's needed by Teacher. The 'blessing' seemed to like the orb.' He thought. The mark on his forehead released warmth that told him that the orb is beneficial to him. The Fire Poisoned Orb is an orb made by the powerful flames inside the volcano. Hence, absorbing the orb will improve his understandings of the Concept of Fire. Doing so will make his fire more powerful.

Devil smiled confidently as if he was saying ,'Of course, I'm the mighty Devil.' He took the orb back and said, " I left you earlier to take that orb. I even spent thirty thousand yuan for that one."

Stunned, Demon had his mouth opened. Thirty thousand yuan is an astronomical amount considering that it's only a Fire Poisoned Orb. Based on what he remembers, Fire Poisoned Orb is that rare but not so expensive since it doesn't have much use. Moreover, it contains toxic flames that could harm oneself!

Devil dared to absorb the orb since he's special and powerful. Even more powerful than those heroes that people worship. He maybe that powerful but he is special. He improves as long as he absorbs something wether it's a low-ranked cultivation treasure.

The 'blessing' is reacting due to the toxicity of the compressed flames. Using it's toxicity will add more burst power to his fire. It could even ascend to another stage if he absorbs the flame. Naturally, the poison inside Demon will benefit from the toxicity if the orb.

"So expensive..." He muttered. Devil shrugged his shoulders. " It's nothing when it's me who we are talking about. Moreover, the Fire Poisoned Orb is purchased was created inside Thousand Souls Volcano."

Thousand Souls Volcano, it ringed a bell inside Demon's head. 'Oh my Demon... It's the most powerful volcano in the entire Region One!'

It's known commonly that Thousand Souls Volcano is the most terrifying volcano in the entire Region One. When it errupted, even those powerful Fire Mages didn't have the chance to resist! It annihilated an entire city with just an eruption! They also say that the volcano have it's own intelligence. It's fire is fueled by the souls of the dead!

Demon drank a mouthful of water. He had been surprised three times this day. It's highly unbeneficial to his health. " I hope you absorb it successfully Teacher."

He was feeling empty for no reason until Devil giggled and patted his head. "Silly child. Absorbing the Fire Poisoned Orb will be of no use to me. I originally bought this one to give it to you. You made me happy with your progress afterall."

Like a child who recieved a lollipop, Demon's ears perked. His eyes shone with happiness and a fresh smile appeared on his pink lips. "Really? Thank you so much Teacher!"

"It's nothing. " Devil assured him. "It's the difference between you and other kids. They use their family to fuel their minds and become strong. Once they had enough power, they'll work hard to earn money. Once they have money, they'll use ir to fuel their progress and increase their talent" He took a sip of his water and continued. " Meanwhile, your case is different. You have the talent already and the wealth. You use the wealth to buy resources and increase your strength. Once you have the strength, you use it to find what's lost. To find your memories and family back is your sole priority."

What he is true. Each time Demon ascend to another level, he'll recover some of his memories. One time, he recovered his memory of performing a spell. This memory gave him that ability to use the spell he is using to fight today.

"What did I tell you Demon?" He asked.

The young man thought for a moment. "You told me Teacher that wealth is also a form of talent. The poor could only blame theirselves for being poor."

Devil feel contended that Demon understood his meaning. It may seem unfair to bully the weak and insult their poverty but it's definitely what is happening today. The wealthy improves while the weak degrades. The strong bullies the weak, the weak fears the strong. He had been training Demon to act like how a real powerful noble should act. That's why he named him Demon. Devil fears that Demon will get bullied so he chose the name. The name that reveals his true colors.

"Nice. Finish your meal so that we can go back now. You should absorb that orb as soon as possible to gain more power." Devil told him.

Demon was confused. Could it be that there's someone in the city who could threaten his victory? He believes that not a single youngster could threaten him. "Don't you feel confident in my ability to win Teacher?"

"Silly. I am very confident with your ability. No one could threaten you in Sun Befalling Island. I even fear that it's the same in the entire Star Group of Islands. I want you to improve fast so that we could have another lead to your identity." Devil explained.

Demon bobbed his head. "Now that you mentioned teacher, who's the most powerful youngster in the city?"

"It's the son of the City Lord which is now a Rank 24 Warrior. He cultivates the Tyrant Tiger Method which allows him to have terrifying strength and burst power. He's now 17 years old." Devil explained.

'Oh' Demon reacted simply. A Rank 24

Warrior can't threaten him at all. He fears that he'll get bored in the competition. Moreover, there's no one capable of surprising him in this city. ' People idolize this person but he's not even in the Young Power Ranking with twenty years old cut off.'

He's just a son of a City Lord, nothing special.

Sun Befalling Island is divided into four Regions.

Region One is where they are now and is situated at the eastern part of the island. Region One is further divided into three kingdoms namely: Light Kingdom, Belgrade Kingdom and Flake Kingdom. They are in the Flake Kingdom with five cities. These city are called Evergreen City, Everglow City, Windfall City, Sky City and Locktret City. Their city is the Sky City where the Wei, Ning, Lin and Bei Clan stays. The Sky City is being controlled by the City Lord named Yang Xiying.

There are many five city lord sons in the entire kingdom but only four if them are in the Young Power Ranking. This ranking ranks all the talented youngsters below twenty the entire kingdom.

Demon scoffed. He's just a mere city lord. When it comes to background, no one could beat him in this kingdom.

The Entertainment Tower is one of the top companies in the Kingdom. It had several branches in the whole kingdom. It holds military power that could parry the Light Kingdom. There also several branches in the Light Kingdom.

Their fames spreads until the other kingdoms. Even though the Entertainment Tower is secretive, everyone still knows about him, the Little Gigolo, sadly.

...

Demon and Devil had returned inside the Entertainment Tower. Now, Demon is preparing for the absorption of the Fire Poisoned Orb.

"Bun Bun, go and get me a hanfu." Demon ordered the child beside him after setting the room for absorption. Under him is a magic circle called Gathering Circle. It will gather the released Fire Qi from the orb and prevent it from being wasted.

The child nodded and ran outside the room. Bun Bun is a mysterious child with cute and silent personality. However, he has this big appetite that even ten men couldn't compare to. He surprisingly can't cultivate and is incapable of even sensing the Qi around.

Bun Bun is his servant. He was orphaned at the age of two and now he is seven years old, the youngest servant in the Entertainment Tower. He works solely for Demon. He doesn't treat Bun Bun badly and taught him some things and even provide him with monthly allowance.

While Bun Bun was out, he performed numerous hand seals. His hands are performing quickly that it turned into a blurry figure. After some moments, the magic circle had been activated.

" Big Brother, this is the hanfu you asked me to get." Bun Bun returned with a red hanfu. The cloth used to make the hanfu is silk. Hence, it isn't bulky and may even give highlight to his noble appearance.

Demon took the hanfu and placed it at the corner of the room, just next to the fresh water. "Bun Bun, go outside and guard my room. Don't let anyone disturb me. If anyone tries to, use the gun I gave you to attack. Kill them without hesitation. This absorption may last for days." He instructed while counting how many days till the Talent's Duel.

Bun Bun didn't answer but took the gun from his back. As he can't use Qi, there's no way he could use storage ring.

Nowadays, guns are useless due to the process of tempering the human skin and body. Gun bullets could no longer penetrate through the human body. However, there are numerous experts in the Entertainment Tower who turns ordinary weapons to mechas. That's how the Tower gained it's military strength, through mechas.

Mechas are weapon which could be activated through Qi. Some high quality mechas even have their own intelligence. The gun he gave Bun Bun is a mecha. He already injected his Qi in the gun. Bun Bun just needs to shoot and deadly bullets made from his Fire Qi will be fired.

The child then left the room and closed the door.

Demon sat in lotus position and closed his eyes. The Fire Poisoned Orb was placed in front of him.

"Break!" He exclaimed and the orb suddenly broke. This is a common skill of every person who could use Qi. If they're level of control is high together with high concentration, they could perform simple telekenis.

Upon breaking apart, the toxic Fire Qi rushed outside the orb. The broken orb turned clear since it lost it's Fire Qi. The Fire Qi roamed around the room aggressively without any intention of settling down.

However, the magic circle under Demon glowed. An invisible force suddenly appeared gathering the aggressive Fire Qi around. The Fire Qi had no choice but to obey the invisible force. It's more powerful than the Fire Qi afterall.

"Absorb!" He exclaimed. As if his head had a suction machine, the Fire Qi was sucked towards his head. Due to the suction force, the Fire Qi spun forming a seemingly hurricane before disappearing at the center of his forehead.

Warriors open their body pores and breath in Qi if they cultivate since they cultivate their bodies. Meanwhile, Mages absorb the Qi through their minds since they improve their minds to perform more efficiently.

"Ahhhh!" Demon felt something targeting his mind as usual. It feels like the Fire Qi is burning his mind! " Shit! This can't continue or I'll die!" He gritted his teeth and circulated his Fire Qi in accordance to the method he gained back then.

Alarmingly, his Fire Qi didn't manage to subdue the foreign toxic Fire Qi. Now, the latter was attacking his Channels! "No!" He exclaimed once more and bit his lip. If his Channels are destroyed, he will no longer be able to cultivate Qi and perform spells!

It was at this moment that a mark appeared on his forehead. This mark is glowing with purple color. If one examines it closely, they'll find a faint silhouette of a phoenix. A purple phoenix more precisely.

"Bang!" His Channels released a domeeniring sound as the 'blessing' sent warmth towards his body.

"The blessing could actually subdue this toxic Fire Qi Easily"

Meanwhile, behind the door stood Bun Bun.

He heard his master scream, hence his heart naturally beat faster. His eyes became keener. "I should protect Master!"

Suddenly, his harmless and jade looking hands shone with golden luster. His eyes gave of faint golden glow that seemed to light his entire face. On his hands, some scales appeared on his skin. What a majestic sight!
