Against The Other Gods

As Xiao Che didn"t want to change the original story plotline for now, and it"s going to be fine as long as he only stay in Floating Cloud City for now without have any contact with an important figure.

Then three years quickly pa.s.sed by. In this three years the four kids trained themselves relentlessly as if their lives is at the stake.

It"s because of Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue who trained like mad, Xiao Lingxi who joined when she reach 6 years old and Yuanba didn"t want to get left behind by the two train-addict Xiao Che and Qingyue.

10 years old Xiao Che now have profound strength at Fifth stage Elementary Profound Realm. The weights he wears now is 45kg on each wrist and feet. On his body the weight he wear is 90kg. That means now the total weight Xiao Che wear is a whole 270kg on his body !!

If Xiao Che took off his weights, even only with his Fifth stage Elementary Profound Realm, he can beat Seventh stage Elementary Profound Realm Pract.i.tioner and fight evenly with Eight stage Elementary Profound Pract.i.tioner.

But when compared to the freak Yun Che in the original story, Yun Che who in his First stage Nascent Profound Realm only used a short 4 months and he already can withstand a total weight a freaking 350kg!!

And here Xiao Che need to spent 5 whole years to get where he is now. "Sometimes I don"t know if I should push myself even more than my limit just like the original Yun Che."

Xiao Che is still not satisfied with the result he get, but he tried to be reasonable. "I"m only 10 years old now, I can"t push myself over my limit as it can give a negative effect instead. Sprinting won"t make you win the marathon."

Xia Qingyue now is already far surpa.s.sed Xiao Che in terms of level as she now is at Seventh stage Elementary Profound Realm only in 3 years!

Her talent is really shocking. She never slack off and always give her all in her training but as she still not yet practice the profound arts from Frozen Cloud Asgard her speed can"t be compared to Qingyue in the original story.

As for Xia Yuanba, his profound strength is only at the Third stage Elementary Profound Realm. The frightening thing about him is his monster-like body strength. At 8 years old, Yuanba have a growth spurt and his body got bigger at a really quick pace. Now his body far bigger than Xiao Che.

The weights he can wear is also surpa.s.sing Xiao Che, for his wrist and feet, Yuanba wear a 50kg weight each. For the weight on his body is 100kg totalling 300kg.

Yuanba full battle power is the same with a normal Sixth stage Elementary Profound Realm Pract.i.tioner.

And there is also Xiao Lingxi who joined them later that have a decent result in her training as he now at Fourth stage Elementary Profound Realm.

The four kids really become famous in the Floating Cloud City and have a nickname attached to them as "The Fantastic Four"

In fact, it was five. The fifth is Little White. Little White is the one that had grown the most and almost entered to adolescent state early because of all the training Little White had.

Normally it needs around 10 years for a juvenile Iron-Winged White Eagle to enter adolescent state. When Iron-Winged White Eagle in it"s adolescent state, it"s strength is comparable to Early stage Nascent Profound Realm.

Now, Little White is already around 8 years old and it"s strength is already at Tenth stage Elementary Profound Realm.

Xiao Che"s courtyard.

There is seem like middle aged man with a white hair who walked inside and saw Xiao Che is meditating in the training yard.

"Good morning grandpa, is it already time for training ?" Xiao Che greet the middle aged man.

"No, Grandpa come here wanted to talk about something to you Che"er." Answer the middle aged man.

It"s actually Xiao Lie ! His face full of wrinkles is gone and he looks like become dozens years younger.

One year ago, Xiao Lie who already in the peak of Spirit Profound Realm have a breakthrough to Earth Profound Realm !

When any pract.i.tioner who entered Earth Profound Realm, his or her lifespan will increased to at least 150 years !

His breakthrough make the whole Floating Cloud City trembled in excitement. He really deserves the t.i.tle of the strongest of Floating Cloud City !l In the whole City there is no any single cultivator can reach this Realm. Xiao Lie is the only one who can reach this Realm and undisputedly become number one.

And his position in his clan elevated to Grand Elder of Xiao Clan. Even the Clan"s master Xiao Yunhai have to be respectful to him. This is power. You weak, everyone will disdain you, If you strong, then everyone will respect you.

"It"s better if we talk about this inside." Said Xiao Lie to Xiao Che.

"Okay grandpa." Xiao Che stand up and start walked.

Inside his room, Xiao Lie and Xiao Che sit down on a chair facing each other. At the table there is still warm just brewed tea prepared by the maid.

Xiao Che poured the tea for his grandfather. After put down the teapot, Xiao Che start asking. "What grandpa want to talk about ?"

"Che"er, you know... your father is and uncle Xia is actually a sworn brothers..." Xiao Lie then start the story of his father Xiao Ying that saved the life of Xia Hongyi and his wife.

"Then, uncle Xia promised to your father that he will marry his daughter to your father"s son and that is you." Xiao Lie finally told Xiao Che about his marriage that was already set even before he born.

"So when you become 16 years old, you will be married with Xia Qingyue." State Xiao Lie about the promise of uncle Xia to his father.

"But if you don"t want to, it is also fine as I will talk it out with your uncle Xia." as Xiao Lie didn"t want to forced his grandson.

"No, it"s fine grandpa. I will fulfill father"s and uncle Xia"s wish." Said Xiao Che while smiling.

"But I guess I have to train even more harder now" continued Xiao Che.

"Hm ?" Xiao Lie arched his brow as he didn"t know why Xiao Che said that.

"It"s because as the husband, I don"t want to become weaker than my wife." Explain Xiao Che to make clear to his grandfather.

"Hahahaha. Then you should give triple of your effort so that you can keep you dignity as the husband." Xiao Lie laughed hard when hearing what Xiao Che said.

"I will train even more hard grandpa." Said Xiao Che as he will train harder even without his grandpa mentioning about it.

"mm, you really my good grandson. Grandpa is so proud of you." Said Xiao Lie as he really is proud of this genius and diligent filial grandson of him.

"now, how about we start training early and wait for everyone there ?" asked Xiao Lie.

"mm. Yes grandpa." Answer Xiao Che.

In this three years of training, not only Xiao Che"s body and profound strength that increasing but his mental strength also grown really strong.

His control over his State of Mental is also getting better. He can maintain his State of Focus for 1 whole hours before his mental strength got exhausted. It"s not that long ? Like h.e.l.l it"s not that long ! It was extraordinarily taxing for him to maintain this state as this state make his brain to work to the utmost make his mental strength consumption few dozen times higher than normal.

For his State of Awareness, he also can maintain it for around 1 hour non stop before he got exhausted. As for his State of Zone ? The burden of this State if counted as multiplication of the State of Focus and State of Awarenss is a huge understatement. The burden is so huge that he most likely can maintain this State only for a 5 minutes at most before he got exhausted or even lost consiousness.

The most useful state for him now is the State of Focus as he can give his all when he train. But it"s not like as convenient as giving him the training result of twice with the half effort. It"s more like twice the result with thrice the effort.

The advantage is he can maximize his training in a shorter time and also improve his mental strength. The faster his strength depleted the more frequent he need to recover his strength and make his body grow tougher faster and even his recovery rate become faster.

"hmmm... even though in this past three years we really become closer, I guess after knowing about our engagement it will make us a little awkward for a while." Thought Xiao Che about their engagement.

Even with Xiao Che trying to get closer to her in this three years, Xia Qingyue still become a girl who pursue strength as her determination for searching her mother is unchangeable. She is still a quiet girl but fortunately now she isn"t the person who like to isolate herself from everything except pursuing strength.

There is a problem that unexpectedly happened because of Xiao Lingxi. For the whole of her life till now, she always live together with Xiao Che, and she really like to get spoiled by her Little Che. Xiao Lingxi even far more attached to Xiao Che compared to the original story as Xiao Che isn"t crippled and he always protect her when she got bullied from other kids.

Now, Xiao Lie said that she have to live in another courtyard and can"t live together in the same courtyard as Xiao Che anymore. Xiao Lingxi really throw a tantrum to her father, for a few days she didn"t want to talk to him, don"t want to eat and don"t want to train. Xiao Lie who usually spoil his daughter didn"t budged even a little by her tantrum for this time.

Xia Qingyue on the other hand it"s like she didn"t bothered about the engagement, she keep training and talk with Xiao Che like usual. But he notice it, there is a difference, it"s like... Qingyue is more conscious of his presence now. Xiao Che smiled, at least there is some change he thought to himself.
