'Blazing Institution'
Such big power lowered themselves to sneaky methods... Xue Ren locked his eyes on him, even though he was far away. His eyes had a little tinge of red. Xue Ren's awareness isn't strong yet, but it can't be said about Endrun's. Jumping over the earth shield like a parkour, Xue Ren started chasing the Blazing Institution disciple. Both disciples of Di School survived the sudden explosion without lethal wounds, it was mainly due to precise control of Xue Ren's. Together with Endrun's help, his chasing was fast and unshaken. As for Huo Ning, he could feel that something changed within Xue Ren. Anyway, he also started chasing, but what he chased wasn't the Blazing Institution disciple, but Xue Ren's tracks which was quite hard...
The young man from Blazing Institution leisurely run. He knew he didn't kill those Di School disciples, but the youngster was sure that his attack connected. That's why they shouldn't catch up to him... But after a while, he could feel presence behind him. Turning around, he noticed one of the Di disciples catching up to him...
Xue Ren finally had caught up. Clearly seeing his opponent, he raised his palm. The fire covered his whole palm as he swung it. The technique was supposed to release human's palm, but propably because of Endrun's influence, the palm looked like that of vampire... Xue Ren, of course didn't mind that at all. He even felt that the attack was stronger. Anyway, the opponent who saw that laughed.
"Using fire against Blazing Institution?" the young one sneered as he waved his hand. Five fire arrows appeared before him as he unleashed them. Three of them went for fire palm and two attacked Xue Ren from the sides...
Xue Ren who could sense all of those arrows thought to himself 'Does he really thinks that it is enough?' with his awareness he pinpointed the point of two attacks that aimed for him, gathering and creating earth magic that only covered those parts. Xue Ren didn't really have to create a big shields, all thanks to his Divinity...
The fire palm and arrows connected. Those attacks had created a big explosion and Xue Ren who saw that used it as smokescreen. The man on the opposide side thought that he is safe for a while. But such thoughts immediately vanished as he noticed Xue Ren's flame fist going for him.
The attack was fast and simple. However, it didn't attack the young one but monster that appeared out of nowhere. It was the same race that attacked the village. Xue Ren knew that those monsters were controlled and soon, two other disciples of Blazing Institution approached the youngster who lied on the ground. Feeling the tough hide of monster, Xue Ren grumbled and backed off 'Those monsters are stronger...'
"Are you fine? What happened?" One of them asked the lying one while the other took out book. The book had magic hue, so Xue Ren braced himself. The man with book raised it forward and the book glowed brightly. It was as if the book scanned Xue Ren who stood cautiously. Then the book opened by itself and the man slowly started reading its content...
"He is Xue Ren, commoner. A class of Di School. 100% efficiency in fire and earth nature." Looking at his junior he also added "Looks like he hide his strength."
"It doesn't matter." the other one flicked his fingers and monsters started to surround the young earthtling. But Xue Ren wasn't alone. The little black cat on his head was already annoyed very much as it growled a little. Only monsters could hear it and the moment they heard her growl, they began to shake violently. Soon, they have run away completely ignoring their masters.
"?!"
"What?!"
"Where the hell are you running?!"
Completely unaware of what's happening, the disciples of Blazing Institution shouted hysterically. Xue Ren who knew everything smiled. His arms started to heat up as the fire covered them. Starlight movement technique flowed through his whole body as he moved forward! Fighting Blazing Institution with fire... he found it quite funny...
Huo Ning! He was still tracing Xue Ren's tracks... then he heard the loud steps of monsters. Gathering the magic power and taking the position to fight, he braced himself! But the monsters just passed over him as if they were running from someone... Realizing that Xue Ren might be in huge danger, Huo Ning started running in direction where monsters has been escaping from. Soon, he noticed a place full of fire. Inside that fire Xue Ren was standing bravely.
His whole body was covered in wounds and blood flowed down from his face. With his narrowed eyes he looked at the one who had tried to kill him...
He was the one who tried to kill him, his woman and friend...
In this world where killing is as common as living...
Xue Ren fire palm slowly descended. The man who was lying on the ground and was breathing roughly sneered at him
"You are shaking." he thought that Xue Ren emotions would take him over. So that he could find a chance to escape.
Xue Ren heart was in turmoil, beating violently and loudly. His whole body was truly shaking, but then something happened. The memories of Endrun overlapped.
'Ah, it's not the first time I have killed someone...'
The shaking stopped and the hand that was slowly descending suddenly accelerated. Xue Ren pierced the man's chest confidently as he grabbed his heart. The heart exploded as the blood splashed on him... The little black cat on his head patted his head.
"Ohh, that's right. I could crystallize his heart..."
Then, he turned around to other disciples. They looked at him with fear and started begging him. However, Xue Ren wasn't the same as before. He stomped on his head, slowly raising the pressure. Soon, the man's head exploded. The heart was obviously intact which made Xue Ren smile. But that smile for the last man was the scariest thing he has ever seen. He felt like this man changed way too fast...
Killing the last man and crystallizing their both hearts, Xue Ren turned around. With his usual, honest smile, he asked Huo Ning...
"Shall we go home?"
