In a crowded market, the citizens walked hurriedly, the sellers advertised their products and the youngsters joked and teased one another.
"Selling a 1st class Meridian Realm Pill! Increasing your chance of breaking through by 100%! Buy one get one free! Only for 20 spirit stones!" A particularly loud stall owner was advertising his Pills, making them sound magical to attract customers.
The bustling city center was soon brought to a stop as a handsome young man walked in; his black hair flowed down his back and with dashing violet eyes full of curious he inspected his surroundings
"...why does everyone seem to be staring at me?" Leon thought out loud.
"It's him! That's the general's son, Leon Rodrig!" A whisper from the crowd reached his ears, so that's what this was about.
Leon awkwardly sulked down, moving through the market steadily, when he was just about to escape the scary crowd he heard a voice filled with disdain shoot toward him
"Hmph? Is this the general's son? I heard he's talentless; he can't even cultivate so what point is there in being the son of someone powerful?" A young man at the center of the crowd said scornfully.
Dressed in a white robe with a sword emblem on its front and back, he looked handsome and refined. Whispers spread across the crowd, with the main one being "He's a Flaming Sword Sect personal disciple, Ion"
The young man was a personal disciple of the Flaming Sword Sect. Remember, being a personal disciple meant either being the disciple of the Sect Master or the Supreme Elder!
Those were two Nascent Soul Experts! Disregarding the old monsters at the Body Transformation stage, Nascent Soul Cultivators could do whatever they wanted in the Sky Heaven World.
Leon, although was supposedly part of the upper class in the Sky Heaven World, didn't know much about anyone but the big 3, His Father, The Sect Master of the Flaming Sword Sect, Lixu Flame, and the Governor of Sky City. All Mid Tier Nascent Soul Cultivators. The Supreme Elder of the Flaming Sword Sect could be counted as the 4th, being in the Low Tier Nascent Soul Realm.
"You are?" Leon said, his tone subconsciously turning arrogant, why had this guy insulted him for no reason? And talentless? No one in this reality could compare to him in talent, who did this nobody think he was?
Hearing what Leon said, Ion nearly spat out a mouthful of blood from anger, 'Am I that invisible to him? I'm not the descendent but I'm still the Supreme Elder's disciple!'
"I'm Ion, a disciple of the Flaming Sword Sect, the Supreme Elder is my master, and I am a cultivator at the 6th State of the Meridian Realm, unlike you." He finished off his sentence while looking Leon up and down, with disdain.
"Oh. Okay" With a poker face, Leon walked away still confused about why he got called out by this guy, he didn't seem special.
Although Leon felt he did the right thing not moving forward, he instantly stuck the crowd as an "Arrogant Young Master" who deemed everyone else unworthy of his presence! This was an exaggeration, but infuriated the young man who just got ignored.
"You! Why don't you fight for yourself instead of hiding behind your Father huh?" Ion said, obviously aiming to make Leon embarrass himself by fighting him. After all, how could someone who just awakened already be powerful enough to fight him?
"Hmm? Alright," Leon didn't mind fighting him, even without revealing 50% of his power he could take care of this nobody.
**Don't even think of it! Unless you plan on exposing your talent, you can't fight him.** Leo didn't care about the provocation, his only goal was keeping Leon safe.
'No. If I let everyone walk over me what's the point of having this talent? This cultivation? This system? It's all worthless if I can't do anything with it.' Leon thought, and with that he dashed out, punching at Ion.
**But! Oh forget it, it's too late now** Leo couldn't stop Leon in time, he had already reached Ion who also put up a fist and rushed out.
The two fists met, with a loud "Crack" sounding out, as well as a body flying out and hitting a stall. Everyone closed their eyes, knowing that the General's son had just been thrashed in public.
"Was that it?" When the dust cleared away, surprisingly it wasn't Ion who stood there, but Leon! He spoke arrogantly as his clothes and hair remained unchanged as if he didn't have an exchange.
The crowd followed the direction of the losing side, focusing on the broken stall they all saw a bloody figure in the rubble; his robes were shredded and his face was pale.
"I'm gonna kill you!" The pale figure yelled, Ion tried to get up, only to spit out blood and fall back to his knees again.
"Is that all the Supreme Elder's disciple can do? Nothing much" Leon's voice lingered as his figure had already disappeared from the market.
In the Heaven Palace, Leon returned home. Only to be questioned by his parents, feigning ignorance he escaped them and returned to his room...only to be yelled at by Leo.
**You idiot! Now the whole city knows about your talent, reaching the 6th State of Meridian Realm in a day, I wonder how many old fogies are ready to come to deal with you. Your Father can deal with the weak ones, but I can sense a few Body Transformation Realm Cultivators in your world, though they're in slumber for now...one seems to be trying to break through soon, in maybe 7 months.** Leo started his talk in anger and ended it in interest.
"Breakthrough to what? What's after the Body Transformation Realm?" Leon followed along, hoping to change the subject.
**You're a bit weak to know. Still, it won't hurt you so I guess I can tell you, that after transforming the Body one can leave this world, then travel to a Middle Tier World, or High Tier if they're exceptional and come into contact with Laws, using these Laws one would develop their core into something like a world. However, most can only have one Law. This is called the World Realm.** Leo gave out important information like it was nothing, this was one of the benefits of having this moody system.
