" I've got to get prepared for the fight but just relying on my skills wouldn't help, I'd need something good, but getting it from father Feng wouldn't be easy, I'll have to give him something good enough for that, well it's a good thing I'm now strong enough to get him a good catch, but if I get him something too good he'll suspect me and that'll bring out my secret.". Lin Jin pondered as he headed for a down a narrow path in a valley.
...
lei pi was standing before a hip of red shiny stones before him, he was busy Inspecting yang vigor stones through a device he put up close to his eyes.
it was like a microscope but this one tested for the validity of a yang vigor stone. he picked up a yang vigor stone putting it up his face directly before the scope on his hands. the scope displayed several vigors changing gradually before his eyes. it later ended at a certain figure which seemed to impress him greatly. " hmm... sixty percent yang stone and one point two percent yin, this guy here is a treasure.". a smile braced his chin as he fiddled the red stone on his hands. he turned round handing the yang vigor stone to a guard standing beside him. " keep this with the special ones. " the guard did as he was instructed throwing it in a box containing several yang vigor stones.
" lei pi ! "
" yes " lei pi answered the call of a young man walking closer to him. he didn't mind turning to see who it was as he kept on with what he was doing.
" there's a lot to worry about ! why is there a lot , why am I having the feeling this plan won't work ?". the young man walked closer to lei pi and stood in front of him. expecting a suiting reply for his worries.
" lei lee relax, we'll get what we want, Gu yang said the answer would come on the bout. he says I just need to participate in the bout and the person needed to complete the Odin's spell would show his or herself. " lei pi stopped what he was doing and turned around looking at this young man.
" you know I don't trust Gu yang, he's some creepy shit hole who could turn on is at any second. ". lei lee said still looking worried.
" relax , we have a tight leach in Gu yang, do no need to worry about him, all we have to do is get ready to become the new lord's of sky shelter". lei lee said boldly.
" well if you say so, and by the way what's the point of you participating in the bout , if you want to go for the shelter fights you could just buy yourself a place.?". lei lee asked.
" well Gu yang said I should in oder to make the target for the spell better prepared, you know the stronger he is the better the spell works, so if I join tge bout he'll feel much more pressure that he'd get more prepared. ".
" ok then, I wanted to tell you I'll like to join too , I mean I want to be a part of it".
....
after trying effortlessly to master a skill yang manli had a sit back with a bottle of water in her hand, she opened it turning the content on her head slowly.
" good work yang, I see you're getting close to him"
she heard the voice of a man, she looked straight to see a man standing close by, he had a good in his face but she could still tell it was Gu yang her grand master. " sir!". yang manli knelt before him
" get closer to him, that's what we'd use to get a hold on him, he's going to participate in the bout coming up soon, make sure he qualifies and gets the reward. ".
" yes master ! ". yang manli replied.
caw... caw.. caw.....
the man on hood turned into a swarm of crawls flying out in another direction.
...
" hey where can I register ?". Lin Jin asked a man standing in front of him.
" right next to the counter there " the man turned round to face Lin Jin, he looked old and crooked .
" ok thank you sir ". Lin Jin said as he walked by. he had gone out to register, it was compulsory to register a few days to the bout. he was now in an area close to the sky hall which was crowded with young and old people from the shelter who also came to register.
he walked up to a block filled with several rows of counters. every counter had a long que of people who were all craving to register for the bout. except for one which only had one person standing before it. this counter was at the end side of the hall close to the main sky hall. at the top of the counter he saw a sign indicating he had to pay an enormous amount to register there. every other counter was free except this one, with just a glance he knew this was where the rich could go to get their easy and quiet registration.
" if I stay in line, I might end up not being able to register in a few days , and I might miss what I have to do, ". he had a few cash on him as he had spent the past few days hunting and selling his kills, he didn't go in deep to hunt strip g creatures but kept on hunting creature at least two clacks.
he hesitated but finally decided m, he walked up to the counter dipping his hand In his pocket to bring out his fee. by the time he was there whoever was registering was through and the counter was empty except for him and the attendant.
ouch....
when. he got closer to the counter be felt an ache on his head. he felt a deep pang like there was a drum bitting on his brain. he went on to the counter and standing in front of the attendant he asked. " how much am I paying please ?"
" so you didn't see the sign? five thousand celt please ".
the attendant requested stretching out her hand. Celts were the form of money used for payment in planet celtron.
he handed her the money which in return she gave him a book and a writing tool to put in his name.
now Lin Jin felt something was wrong, it took him so much effort to even remember his name and writing it down on the sheet took much more effort. he felt dizzy, he had a kind of feeling he once had but couldn't remember. " the Yin Pearl.!". Lin Jin now recalled where he first had this feeling. it was when he and his friend Liu Kang had found a pearl which looked like a yin Pearl but behave differently from a yin Pearl.
arrrgh"!!!!
he felt a sudden ache, burst out. he ran fast to a corner closer to the sky hall to have a rest but then the pain increased more and more. his amor suddenly appeared on its volition , but this time it was in a shiny gold form. arrrgh...
a white shiny light covered his eyesight and when it faded away he was no longer in the sky hall area. he could only see light shining in all directions, there was no object or person around him.
" you again ! how did you get here?".
Lin Jin heard a voice whi h sounded from around him , he looked round but found nothing. when he looked upward he saw something like a puff of cloud. it moved closer and floated right in front of him .
" what are you ". Lin Jin looked at this cloud looking thing. it moved very quickly. it pissed a hand but no legs it looked like a gini .
(" I am gizmo, an ancient god to you, this is my world and I possess your body , is that good enough.?". )
Lin Jin thought the voice of this creature was a bit funny, it was the kind of sound you get from a character in a cartoon film. " well I'm..." Lin Jin was cut shut by the creature .
(" you think I don't know who you are, you're a shit hole full of bad luck. I wanted the pure one but now I ended up inside of you ")
" I don't know what you're saying " Lin Jin felt confused .
(" I am gizmo a god from ancient times, I am the orb you saw down in the mountains, I wanted to be in your sister Quingtan but ended up inside a weak and impure being. " )
" wait a minute so you're the yin Pearl from the mountains,. where my friend Liu Kang?"
(" well I took him to the other world, he's probably doing better than you")
" I don't understand, I tried to get you off me , if you hate that much how did you end up inside me ?"
(" well your sister Quingtan is the pure one who I've been looking for over the years, I sensed a speck of her in you and had to take my chances. do you know how hard and boring it was for me waiting billions of years for the pure one to come? ")
" well I can tell how boring you can be ,. wait a minute, are you the cause of my evolution? I mean I evolved from...."
(" yes I am , you should be dead by now and should have reincarnated, but I stopped that from happening, I finally found the pure one , If I had let you die I'd loose her, ")
" so can you make me evolve more ? like ten clacks or maybe more?"
(" you were supposed to be dead ok, if you didn't bring out all the power in you then by training you'd be dead. you exhausted it all when you evolved and you can't do it again, but I can help you if you help me get out of you " )
" really? how can I do that ?". Lin Jin asked .
(" you're probably able to speak with me cause there's a Odin's spell in the hall, it's a power from the other world where I belong, if you help me get in there and activate it, I can leave your body. " )
" well to get in there Id have to win the bout, but lei pi I going to be a part of it, there no way I can win him "
(" come on my friend, you have the pearls from your sister, if you absorb them you could evolve faster with those, and besides, I could help you take out a few crooks, ")
" wait a minute, so you were the reason I could kill the dead eye macaque, but did you take me back home ?"
(" yes it wasn't easy though, I had to walk, I had to talk , I had to take several turns , I had to... )
" so how do I get out of here ?"
(" well I've been alone for so long I haven't have a conversation, I'd let you go maybe a few years from now , it's so lonely being inside you " )
" so what if..... " Lin Jin noticed he was somehow faxing away, he looked around him and noticed the color around him was changing.
...
" he's awake !!"
" uhh thank the Buddha's he's alive !"
Lin Jin woke up to the site of his mother sister and father looking at him with happiness.
he looked around and noticed he was now back at home.
" Lin Jin what happened,the attendant said you registered and then you just walked away and the next thing you were unconscious,"
" nothing mom , I just had a severe head ache "
(" what's that ?" )
he heard a noise from his head.
" huh, you're still there ?".
(" yes probably cause you're still around your sister, she's from another world so she can make me communicate with you,. tell her I'm here ").
" no I won't , what psycho just walks up to his sister and tells her there's something talking to him inside his head.
(" thank you!")
" what, but I didn't..". now Lin Jin realized he had been talking out loud and his sister and mother were loudly hearing him.
" oh no! , his headache really got him this time " his mother felt worried seeing her son talk to himself.
