Chapter 10 - Poison²

"Abso..." He couldn't finish his statement as the man landed blows on him.

"Argh!!" He shouted before hitting a wall.

He coughed up blood while trying to stand.

*H-he's strong.*

"Huh? You can still stand after that. Might as well kill you once."

"No, I'll kill you first."

"Absorb." He said.

"ARGH!!!" Xin shouted as he felt power well up in him.

"Haha, what are you doing?" One of the other guys asked.

"DIE!!" The big man shouted while running towards him.

"DIE? Who? Me? No, you die." Xin said.

"Zheng Zu fist of five elements!!" Xin shouted, running towards him.

"Wh-what?!!!"

"How'd he learn that?"

"Argh!!!" The big man shouted as Xin hit him continuously.

"Ha... ha... ha..." Xin kept panting while falling to the ground.

"I-its over." He said.

"Eek!!" The others shouted while running away.

"Elixir for replenishing spiritual energy." He said.

A golden ball appeared in his hand as he threw it in his mouth.

"Ha... that feels good." He said.

"HOST HAS COMPLETED THE MISSION. REWARD 1000 POINTS. SOUL DAGGER INCREASED BY ONE LEVEL(LEVEL 2) AGILITY INCREASED BY 2 LEVELS (LEVEL 7), ACQUIRED A SKILL, ZHENG ZU FIST OF FIVE ELEMENTS "

"I feel a lot stronger. Thanks for the points."

"Man! I almost died there." He continued still lying on the floor.

"Th-thanks..." the girl said, walking towards him.

"Are you okay?" She asked as he looked at her.

"Wh-whoa."

*D-damn!!!! She's so pretty!!!*

"Here." He said, handing his jacket over to her.

"Oh, Eek!!" She shouted, remembering that her clothes were torn.

"Well, I'll be leaving." He said, walking out.

"W-wait..." She called.

*He already left.*

*Hmm hmm. I need to get stronger fast.* He thought walking back to the Yu family's house.

"Xin?" Someone called.

"Hmm... Qin?" He called, looking at the guy.

"Y-you're fine?"

"Was I supposed to 'not be'?" He asked with a smirk.

"N-o it's not that."

*Holy shit, Lin Feng will kill me.* He thought, biting his lower lip.

"W-why don't we go have some fun in the brothel?"

"Nah, I prefer staying home. My fiancée will get mad at me." He said before walking out.

*Lin Xin, you want me dead, don't you? I'll kill you, I'll kill you.*

"LEVEL 4 OF THE QI INITIATION STAGE. LEVEL 53."

"Where were you all day?!" Yu Hao shouted.

"Nothing serious, just taking a stroll."

"I heard you went to the brothel once again. How dare you lie to me?!!" He shouted.

"Brother, wait."

"The brothel, once again? I didn't visit there."

"You liar, there's nothing else you do when you leave home. I think Luoluo should get engaged with your elder brother. You're a good for nothing!"

"Hey hey hey! Did you check the brothel and you saw me there? Why the hell would you think I'd go there?!"

*H-he's raising his voice at me? Incompetent fool, I'll kill you!!*

"Brother, you didn't see him at the brothel, right? Why do you blame him then?"

"Get lost!!" He shouted pushing her away.

"MISSION: DEFEAT THE FIRST SON OF THE YU FAMILY. REWARD: 500 POINTS."

"Ow!!"

"You bastard, don't blame me for being disrespectful since you hit my fiancée," Xin said.

"Xin, he's in the accumulation stage, the late phase."

*Tch, so he's strong.*

"Extract soul dagger." He said.

"Absorb."

"I'll make sure you die today!!" Yu Hao shouted running towards him.

"Eight trigrams palm strike!!" Hao shouted running.

"Ha..." Xin exhaled.

*He might die if I stab him and I'll die if I don't.*

"Purchase body of iron."

"BODY OF STEEL PURCHASED. 500 POINTS."

"Ha!!!" Hao shouted before hitting him continuously.

"Heh? You took my hit and you can still stand? Let's see if you can take more."

"Eight..."

"Shut the fuck up!" Xin said.

"Zheng Zu fist of five elements!!" He shouted before hitting him.

"Argh!" Hao shouted before falling.

"Ha... ha... ha..." Xin kept panting as blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Hmph, you might have gotten stronger but... I'm still better than you are." Hao said, grabbing his hair.

*Tch... he's still standing.*

"Yu Hao!!" Someone shouted while walking into the compound.

"F-f-father."

"Father!" Luoluo shouted while running towards the old man.

"Father. Something's wrong with Brother Hao."

"Yu Hao! I can't believe you made my little Luo cry!" The man shouted again.

*Huh?*

"Ahem! Let him go this instant or I won't be merciful." The man said as Yu Hao let Xin go.

"I-I, I don't know what's going on." He said as Lin Xin kicked him behind his head.

"Lin Xin you bastard!!" The man shouted.

"Calm down, old man," Xin said.

"Old man?!"

"Your son was being controlled, I was trying to help him get back to his senses," Xin said.

*And I had to complete the mission no matter what.*

"Ouch, what happened?" Hao asked, sitting up.

"Oh... he was right."

"THE HOST HAS COMPLETED THE MISSION. REWARD SENT: 500 POINTS."

"You didn't even defeat him. You could have died if he hadn't let his guard down"

"I hit him last, so I get the reward. Hehe."

"Hmm?" The man asked.

"N-nothing."

"I remember, who's an old man?!" The man asked, smiling evilly.

"Tee-hee."

"Bastard," the man said before smiling.

"You did a..."

"Huh?" Xin asked as his consciousness began fading away and blood gushed out of his mouth.
