A while later
Cross was sitting next to Yun Che in a row of seats for some banquet. He looked around and couldn't see Luna anywhere, he was worried but he was still a bit nervous. Despite knowing that she's just as strong as him, he couldn't help but think of worst case scenarios.
What if a god accidentally slapped her out of existence! What if she didn't have her guard up and got hit by a meteor! She could lying in a crater trying to call out to him on her last breaths!
Cross got really anxious and started looking around frantically. He talked into the ring but got no response, he was practically oozing anxiety right now.
OOZING!
Cross looked around and saw Luna walking in with Xuerou, Cross teleported and grabbed Luna before teleporting back with her in his arms. Xuerou was stunned, one second she was talking with Luna, the next Luna disappeared!
Yun Che was also shocked, there was an after image of Cross still sitting down for a split second then it was replaced with Cross holding Luna. Jasmine said mentally "He saw me doing Star God's Broken Shadow once." Yun Che trembled and said "Wow..."
Luna looked like a doll, sitting on Cross' lap, as he checked her body before letting out a breath of relief. Luna said "I'm not a weak little girl." Cross nodded and said "I know, but what if you got slapped to death by a god who passed by? Or hit by a meteor when you weren't paying attention? Or a stray sword slash from the upper realms? Then I wouldn't have a Luna anymore."
Luna was speechless, Yun Che and Jasmine were also stunned. A meteor? Slapped to death by a passing god? A stray sword slash?
...
This fellow was crazy!
Luna said "Awwww~" and snuggled into his chest, Yun Che and Jasmine were stunned yet again. Xuerou came over and sat next to Yun Che before giggling "Seems like they're very close." Yun Che said "They even have kids." Xuerou was shocked and said "Really? I bet they're the cutest things!"
Yun Che chuckled and said "Two little pranksters.." he turned to Xuerou and smiled "Do you want kids, Xuerou?" Xuerou blushed and said "Eventually..." Yun Che smiled warmly and Xuerou's blush deepened.
Cross kissed Luna and waved, a little space crack opened and Zephyr and Pandora fell out. They got up and looked around, Pandora said "We've fallen into another world! Status!" Zephyr said "Beep boop beep! Scanning aliens." Cross smacked both their heads and said "Beep boop beep my ass! Get over here!"
Zephyr and Pandora giggled before jumping into Cross and Luna's laps.
Xuerou gushed and leaned over Yun Che to play with the kids. Luna took Zephyr and Pandora and sat next to her, Cross looked at his empty lap and said "Eh?" Yun Che chuckled on the side and Cross elbowed him.
Yuanba was watching the stage, completely oblivious to everything that was happening. Cross crossed his arms and grumbled, watching the people introduce themselves by their power first. A bunch of people were there and took their seats.
Cross was feeling itchy when he heard there was going to be fights, so was Yun Che but they held back as the fighting started.
A kid got up on stage and said "This one is Profound Heart Sect's useless disciple Xuan Yu, sixteen years old. Who will come up and advise me?" Cross whispered to Yun Che "He knows he's useless? What kind of greeting is this?" although he whispered everybody heard him and Xuan Yu's face heated up.
Yun Che chuckled and whispered back "He's being humble, I don't think he actually thinks he's useless..." Cross sighed and said "I thought I saw a reasonable person today, what a pity!" Yun Che bit his lips and tried to not laugh.
Xuan Yu's face was completely red and the Elder from the Profound Heart Sect's face turned extremely ugly. Sikong Han coughed and said "Yes, well Li Hao you're up!" Li Hao walked up and cupped his fist as he said "New Moon Profound Palace Class One's Li Hao, please advise me!"
Cross shook his head and muttered "One says he's useless and the other asks for advice... Does he want to be useless too? I don't understand." Li Hao coughed and got into a fighting stance while Xuan Yu was enraged as he pointed at Cross and shouted "You there! With the black tattoos! Stop speaking nonsense!"
Cross held his hands up and said sarcastically "Sorry. Continue with your useless skills please." Xuan Yu almost coughed out blood and grinded his teeth before starting the fight.
Cross watched for a few seconds before getting bored and talking to Yun Che.
Xuan Yu won the fight and sneered in Cross' direction only to see that he wasn't even paying attention. He was beyond angry and said "I wonder if this brother would like to spar with this useless one?"
Cross ignored him and kept talking to Yun Che, in reality he didn't even know Xuan Yu was talking to him. Xuan Yu felt veins appear on his forehead as he asked again, Yuanba nudged Cross and said "Cross, this guy wants to fight you?"
Cross was startled and looked over as he said "You were talking to me!?" Xuan Yu almost spit out blood, if not you then who else!? Cross stood up and said "Honestly fellow, if you don't say a name how should I have known you were talking to me? Are you dumb as well as useless?"
The New Moon disciples chuckled and Xuan Yu grit his teeth and said "My mistake, Senior Brother." Cross waved and said "No worries, remember for next time." as he walked over, Luna said "En. Don't kill him." Everybody was shocked and looked at Luna, who was holding Zephyr and Pandora.
Xuan Yu was enraged, what did she mean don't kill him!? Was he a chicken by the roadside? Cross nodded and said "I'll try not to." everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, so arrogant?!
Actually Cross was really thinking how not to kill this kid, how much strength should he use. He stood on the stage with a thinking expression, Xuan Yu wasted no time and attacked, lunging at Cross and throwing out his palm as he shouted "Profound Heart Palm!"
The surrounding viewers gasped and Xuerou said "He'll die!" Luna just giggled and said "Even if there was a thousand of him it wouldn't be enough..."
Cross looked at Xuan Yu coming at him and he slapped out, no profound energy, just a normal slap. It looked slow to the others, but Xuan Yu didn't even see it coming. Cross slapped Xuan Yu in the cheek and there was a pause before Xuan Yu blasted sideways through the air, going through the wall of the building head first.
Cross clicked his tongue and said "10% proved to be too much after all..." the entire building was in silence, until Zephyr cheered "Daddy's awesome!" the disciples returned and looked at Zephyr, then Pandora, then Luna, then Cross and sucked in a cold breath of air.
This guy brought his kids!
The Profound Heart Elder shouted "You used such a heavy hand! Why if he's crippled! Let me teach you some manners!" as he shot forward, Cross waved his hand back and backhand slapped the Elder in the opposite direction of Xuan Yu.
Cross mumbled "Eh? 20% was too much for him..." he scratched his cheek and said "Um, anybody strong wanna fight?" everybody was silent until a boy jumped up and took out a spear as he said "Tie Hongjun, please guide me!"
Cross looked at Hongjun and mumbled "A spear..." he pulled out a long stick and held it like a spear as he said "En. Come." everybody was stunned and Hongjun frowned, Cross noticed and said "I don't have a spear, nor have I ever used one. I don't want to hurt you since you seem like a good kid, this is the best thing I could find. Now stop being a woman and attack!"
Hongjun attacked, thrusting his spear forward. Cross watched his movements and pointed the stick down before sidestepping and knocking Hongjun's spear up with the stick.
Hongjun felt like he was fight a poisonous viper as Cross' red eyes glowed, the stick seemed to have a life of its own and made slender movements, circling Hongjun's spear and knocking it in the air before pouncing at his neck.
Cross stopped the stick right at Hongjun's neck before catching his spear with one hand. Hongjun was startled and looked at Cross in awe before saying "I admit defeat, that was spectacular!" Cross looked at Hongjun and said "I think I know a better weapon for you... You are not suitable for this spear."
Hongjun stiffened and his father frowned. Cross looked at the spear and muttered something before grabbing Hongjun and disappearing, everybody looked around the confusion.
Cross teleported to the forest and cut down a tree before taking out the pig iron Yun Che bought and melting it. Hongjun watched in awe as Cross made a wooden spear with a metal spear tip. It was very beautiful already. Then Cross made a hollow tube and slid it from the bottom up the spear shaft before making a pointed pommel at the bottom.
He teleported back with Hongjun and threw the old spear to Hongjun;s father before throwing the new spear at him. Everybody was stunned yet again, where did this guy keep going and coming from?!
Hongjun looked at the new spear and grabbed it feeling much more comfortable. Cross mimicked the spear in his hands and said "This is called a Kuda Yari spear. You hold the tube and spin the shaft like this..."
Cross held the tube and spun the shaft as he thrusted out, the spear tip looked to be turning in a circle and stabbing out multiple times in the same instance.
Hongjun was in a daze as he did the same, Cross dispelled the spear and took out a stick as he said "Well, come on then." Hongjun spun the shaft and dashed forward, Cross raised an eyebrow and blocked the spinning spear tip with the stick.
Hongjun spun the shaft and pulled back before thrusting again, jerking it in the opposite direction before going back. The spear 'caught' the stick and threw it away as it snaked to Cross' neck. Cross was shocked and tilted his head, the spear shooting past his head.
Cross smiled and stepped forward, closing the distance between him and Hongjun. Cross took one step and appeared behind Hongjun, patting him on the shoulder as he said "En! You're simply born to use this kind of spear!"
Hongjun blinked and looked at the spear before a sharp aura burst from his body. Hongjun's father stood up and said "Spear Intent!" Hongjun came back to reality and said "Eh? What happened?" Hongjun's father shook him saying "You just formed Spear Intent!" Hongjun's brains were being scrambled from the intensity of the shaking.
Cross already walked down the stage and sat down as he said "I borrowed some Pig Iron." Yun Che waved and said "That's a strange weapon." Cross smirked and said "There's even stranger ones, wanna see 'em?" Yun Che nodded excitedly and Pandora flew through the air and latched onto Cross' head like a Koala as she said "Daddy's the best! When are you going to teach me!?"
Cross snorted and said "Hmph! When you left with your mother, you weren't thinking about daddy were you!" Pandora said sweetly "Nono! Pandora loves daddy the most! It was just an act!" she turned her head to Luna and winked.
Cross grabbed Pandora and shook her saying "You little schemer, you think I can't see your little tricks?!" Pandora giggled and Cross put her down in his lap as he hugged her saying "Watch the fights." before turning to Yun Che and saying "I'll show you later."
Yun Che nodded and the fighting continued with other people, but it wasn't as grand as Cross' fights. There was a certain face slapping flair missing.
